For many recent college graduates, just married couples and even empty nesters looking to downsize, the rental apartment building, condo and coop market are the most viable local housing option, with over 70 rentals currently available in The Five Towns. However, the price and feasibility vary, according to local realtors.

The main difference between co-ops, which is short for cooperative ownership, and condos are that in co-ops, there always needs to be board approval (the board is comprised of some of the residents of the building) to get into the co-op, where-

as in a condo, it’s often just up to the owner and no board is involved. In addition, when buying a coop, you would own shares of the whole building and in a condo, you would own the actual apartment.

Lori Schlesinger of Lori & Associates Realty noted that although co-ops are the most abundant form of rentals, but that they are also more challenging. “The only problem is that you have to complete a full application and get board approval, it’s a whole big-to-do. It’s costly. There are application fees that range from $350 to $700 and are non-refundable…even if you get denied. As for

Despite enthusiasm from its board members, LIPA’s own consultant is cautioning against privatization because it may lead to double-digit rate increases. According to William Zarakas, a principal of The Brattle Group, the consultant working with LIPA to assess their restructuring options, any private company that may want to purchase LIPA would also have to absorb its debt, which would prevent turning a profit without rate increases.

Zarakas spoke at LIPA trustee meeting on Wednesday afternoon, which was followed by a public input session in the evening.

LIPA’s power generation costs are currently at 1.91 cents per kilowatt-hour, compared to 1.87 cents per kilowatt-hour nationally and 2.77 cents in New York State.

One day prior, Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy spoke at a panel discussion at the Melville Marriot on the LIPA restructuring situation. He called for lower prices from the authority and said that New York’s high taxes

are the culprit.

Other options discussed besides privatization, were the absorption of National Grid workers who provide customer support for LIPA customers, so that the authority could provide those services to customers itself, or maintaining the current system of a public-private partnership with National Grid, but taking on more budgeting control. As opposed to the high-risk privatization plan, the two plans listed above would keep rates at about the same level they are now according to Zarakas.

Whatever the options are, local leaders are most concerned about keeping energy costs low to keep Long Island from becoming too expensive for its residents.

“One thing we know for sure that whatever plan they come up with the service has to be significantly better,” Nassau County District Six Legislator Francis Becker said. “The cost of energy keeps going up on Long Island and that’s a problem for residents and business owners.

The two problems on Long Island are taxes and energy. They

LIRR Platform Smoking Ban

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

A breath of fresh air is coming to train station platforms as Governor Andrew Cuomo has recently signed legislation that bans smoking on outdoor ticketing, boarding or platform areas of the LIRR and MetroNorth. Commuters at local LIRR platforms seem to be welcoming the new legislation with open arms.

“I’m for it, smoking is disgusting,” said Jamie Bernstein, a Woodmere resident waiting for a train at the Woodmere station.

“There are so many people on the platform and they shouldn’t have to deal with others’ second hand smoke.”

Indranie Stockton, who’s been commuting into The Five Towns for 13 years said, “I’m not a smoker and I’m happy about the bill. Sometimes the smoke gets in your face and nose and

you can’t breathe. But, I see the other side of it too, people pay a lot of money for the train and they want to be able to smoke outside.” Stockton added that she also expects a decrease in commuters. “When they raised the prices, a lot of my friends stopped taking the LIRR, with this ban, I feel like people will take the LIRR less too.”

State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) sponsored the legislation in an effort to

protect passengers from second-hand smoke. “Every day, thousands of LIRR and MetroNorth commuters are exposed to harmful second hand-smoke each time someone lights up a cigarette while waiting for a train.” Fuschillo said in a statement. “Second-hand smoke has been proven to cause serious health problems, including cancer, which is why we need to

There are plenty of excuses for not joining a gym; “I’m too tired,” “It’s too expensive,” or “I’m too busy.” Not only does exercise provide energy, but the same amount most people spend on over-priced lattes in a month can likely pay for a gym membership. If that’s not enough convincing, exercise also releases stress, lifts depression, improves learning, builds self-esteem, and produces euphoria, according to a U.S. News report. There are six gyms and health clubs in the area that offer specialized services that cater to everyone – from the goal-ori-

LIPA Privatization Predicted To Bring Huge Rate Increase CONTINUED FROM P. A1 need to cut costs and all the parties involved need to look hard and deep at plans to be sure that Long Island is a place where people want to live and can survive.”

“I worked for Keyspan when they were under contract with LIPA and that wasn’t a good scenario,” Five Towns Democratic Club David Freedman said. “Certainly National Grid hasn’t been

particularly good. Privatization would be a disaster, not only because of the debt but because the oversight on any kind of municipal utility has to be in place.

It’s too easy for them to not control salaries and we don’t want to have a completely governmental agency do this because governments are also not good to handle that. I think that what’s going to happen is something like what we have no but with more

LIPA oversight on the financial end. It’s not going to be a good solution either way. They really have to reinvent the wheel on this, but at the moment, that’s the best short-term solution.”

Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner feels that utility companies have steered too far away from providing customer service and he doesn’t like where LIPA is headed.

“Whatever they’re trying to do

Lots of Apts. On Rental Market CONTINUED FROM P. A1 apartment rentals in private homes, you only have a handful in Woodmere and Cedarhurst, the rest may not be legal.”

Schlesinger added, “More things are renting now than before because a lot of people can’t get a mortgage or unsure of what their job situation is.” A lot of rentals in Atlantic Beach are summer house rentals, Schlesing-

er said. Currently, there are four apartment rentals and one townhouse rental available in Atlantic Beach. In Inwood, there are four available apartments for rent, in Hewlett there are seven available, in Lawrence, there are 24 rentals available, there are 20 rentals available in Cedarhurst and 11 in Woodmere.

Andy Kropp, Director of Leasing and Co-op and Condo Sales at Pugatch Realty noted that they

have one-bedroom apartments that start at $1,395 in Cedarhurst, $1,095 in Inwood, and $1,150 in Lawrence. They also have two bedrooms that start at $1,500 in Hewlett and $1,285 in Inwood.

“In this economic environment, owners have trouble selling, so they rent,” Kropp said.

“For a high end rental, there is The Plaza in Lawrence. “There’s a 24 hour doorman, laundry machines on each floor and one of

LIRR Platform Smoking Ban CONTINUED FROM P. A1 continue to protect individuals from exposure. As the author of the state’s Clean Indoor Air Act, I applaud Governor Cuomo’s support of such an important health

initiative.”

Kurt Minick, waiting for a train on the Woodmere LIRR platform noted, “I smoked on the platform this morning before I heard of the ban. I’m an on-and-off smoker. I’m ambivalent to the bill. If I

were the Governor, I’d do the same thing.” Minick added, jokingly, “I’m just glad you can still drink beer on the train, though!”

Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg (D-Long Beach) who cosponsored the legislation in the

is to motivate their profits and National Grid’s profits,” Oliner said. “It’s not to get better service, but to outsource whatever costs money and at the end of the day have less service. They should focus on their issues and do as much as they can in house. Part of what we’ve had is a commoditization of utility functions and with the commoditization comes a loss of service. All utility companies want to do it. There’s a na-

tional price for the product and they want to eliminate the customer service side of it. These are semi-monopolistic situations and what we’re allowing them to do is get out of the electric business and go into the commodity business. What we want them in is the service business, which requires hands on focus.”

National Grid’s contract with LIPA expires in 2013 and LIPA trustees are committed to figur-

ing out a restructuring plan by November 22nd of this year.

Perhaps more indicative of public sentiment regarding LIPA than rates is the power authority’s customer satisfaction rate, which sits at 582 on a 1000-point scale according to a 2011 study conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. LIPA sits at 16th out of 18 utilities in the Eastern region polled for customer satisfaction in the study.

the biggest one bedrooms I’ve ever seen—over 1200 square feet. It’s been reduced to $1,995.

It’s like a hotel room.”

Buying can also be an option, but in the past year, sales of apartments, co-ops or condos haven’t been abundant.

Schlesinger noted that in the last year, there were 11 sales of co-ops, and two condos in Cedarhurst, which ranged from $92,000 to $464,000. There were 11 sales in Lawrence ranging from $99,000 to $400,000. There were four co-op sales in Hewlett and

three condo sales ranging from $83,000 to $500,000. There were nine co-op sales in Woodmere and one condo sale ranging from $40,000 to $470,000. Zero sales in Inwood and two condo sales in Atlantic Beach, which were $365,000, and $1.57 million.

According to data from Multiple Listing Service of Long Island Inc, there were mostly co-op sales in The Five Towns, which ranged from a one-bedroom coop in Hewlett for $83,000 to a three-bedroom co-op in Cedarhurst for $310,000.

Natalya Mikinberg, owner and broker of VI Properties noted to buy a co-op studio on Broadway in Hewlett right now starts $99,000. “It’s a season for rentals because people who want to move before the school year starts try and find places now.”

Aside from timing, Kropp said that The Five Towns is in a prime location for rentals, “I would say that location is terrific. We’re outside the city and we’re close to the beaches. It’s like a country experience but not that far from an urban environment. “

Assembly noted the importance of the issue in the long run. “It’s about the air we breathe. It’s really a sensitive issue because the biggest cost factor in society today is healthcare. When we have pollutants in the air, and when we think about the chemicals used on our lawns, in our schools…every aspect of our life

we’re being touched by chemicals that are detrimental to our health and safety. We know that second hand smoke is a carcinogen, and people should have ability to breathe fresh clean air. Especially in an environment with children, they shouldn’t be exposed to carcinogen that second hand smoke provides.”

Second hand smoke exposure kills 2,500 New Yorkers every year, according to estimates from the New York State Department of Health. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers every year, according to the American Lung Association.

Pickets Take to Franklin Place

By Natasha M. Velez.

V

erizon employees representing the Communications Workers Association (CWA) were on strike in Woodmere at Verizon’s central office on Franklin Place, due to dissatisfaction with their new contract.

A Verizon employee on strike, Corey Coutrier asserted, “They want to take away

our medical benefits. It’s not right. All we want is job security.”

Verizon Director of Media Relations, John Bonomo said, “We understand change is tough but we have to reach a workable solution.”

The strikes may potentially cause delays on landline operations and installation of services, such as the new FiOS- Fiber Optic Television and Internet.

assau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced today that beginning August 15, 2011 the Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation and Museums will allow residents to play continuously from 4:30 pm until dark on any of the County’s four nine-hole golf courses.

This promotion is open to all Nassau County residents with a Leisure Pass. The fee is $15 per person and $8.50 for seniors.

The four courses participating in the promotion are Bay Park in East Rockaway (516-5717242); Cantiague Park in Hicksville (516-571-7061) North Woodmere Park (516-571-7814); and Christopher Morley in RoslynNorth Hills.

“Just in time for the heart of golf season, this promotion rewards our residents and customers during days and times when there is less demand for playing time,” says County Executive Mangano. “I encourage our residents to take advantage of this offer.”

Each of the courses provides a slightly different playing experience. The Bay Park course is located by the water and has two holes over 300 yards, with total yardage of 1,956.

At 2,282 yards, North Woodmere’s course is the largest of the nine holes, with four holes over 300 yards, two of which approach 400 yards. Like Bay Park, the course is located on the South Shore by the water.

Cantiague Park’s golf course is centrally located in Hicksville and offers a flat and easy-totraverse property, with total yardage of 1,878.

Christopher Morley, which is closed on Mondays, is the smallest of the four at 1,603 yards, but offers hilly terrain surrounded by trees; it is also the only course located on the North Shore.

Woodmere Car Show Races into Town TEXT AND PHOTOS

T

he Woodmere Merchants Association held its first antique car show at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library parking lot on Wednesday evening. About forty cars ranging from 1920’s Ford models to recent 2000’s Lexus’ were on display for members of the community and other collectible car owners.

“We basically thought this would be great for the community,” said Craig Spatz, co-chairman of the Woodmere Merchants Association. “It gets people out and tells people, ‘Woodmere is alive.” He said the association wanted to show that they were there to support the community.

Bernie Hoffman, of Woodmere, beamed as he stood in front of his black 1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster.

“This was Jaguar’s first sports car after World War II… when it came out, it was the fastest car you could buy. It was guaranteed to do 120 miles per hour.”

Lawrence Mayor Oliner First in His Office

Standard Staff Reporter

L

awrence Mayor Martin Oliner takes his office so seriously, he made his own inside of the village hall.

The Village of Lawrence has been in existence for over 110 years and the current Village Hall has served the community for much of that time, yet May-

cases, and a couch for visitors.

Oliner can be found at his desk many days a week when the village hall is open.

Historically, he said, the village never had viewed the mayor position as other villages do such as Cedarhurst or Atlantic Beach, where the executive brings an agenda of items to work on or improve. Oliner, citing the lack of a true office, said

A mid-century Chevrolet wagon was among the first vehicles on display for residents and car enthusiasts.

He sheepishly smiled and added: “I can vouch for the fact that it will go 120.”

“I bought this as a basket case,” said Ron Baglio, of Lynbrook, about his red 1957 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster. “I dragged it out of some guy’s yard in four piec-

Mayor Martin Oliner spends much of his days at village hall inside of his office, unlike previous Lawrence mayors.

The inside of Bernie Hoffman’s 1952 Jaguar XK120 is in great shape for a car over 60 years old.

es. A lot of work has gone into this… it’s an ex-race car. Luckily, no one screwed it up.”

The car show brought out some hundred or so people at the start of the night, including Hempstead Town Clerk Mark Bonilla and candidate Steve Anchin.

“They do these car shows everywhere — Lynbrook, Cedarhurst… we felt Woodmere deserved a car show, too,” said Spatz.

or Oliner has done something there that none of his predecessors had done — maintained a full-time executive office.

“This job is one that requires a lot of involvement,” he said.

“It is important that the person holding the job exercises a presence at the hall.”

The mayor’s role in the village, according to Oliner, was previously seen as more of an honorary position before he took office in 2010, where many mayors would not be in the village hall much, if rarely ever.

“I just don’t view it as an honorary job — there’s more to it than that.”

The current room he calls his office previously housed the deputy administrator for the village. His office now features a large L-shaped desk, book-

he set out to change that by being a more involved representative.

Simon Felder, a current Lawrence trustee member and the previous mayor from 2008 to 2010, said having an office at village hall was up to the decision of each mayor.

“Everything I did… was to emulate the previous mayors, who all served with distinction,” he said. “I did not see the need for it and think it absolutely necessary to create an office for myself,” although, he said, some residents had asked him to do so.

“If [Oliner] feels its useful for him to have — I have no problem with it. I think its something he feels in necessary and we have the room, so by all means.”

Six Gyms for The Five Towns CONTINUED FROM P. A1 not a place for gossip and chitchat; it’s a fitness club. The people here are serious about achieving their fitness goals.”

They offer one-on-one training, kickboxing classes, cycling, Zumba, Kettle bell workshops, and Pilates reformer classes. The facility includes a steam room, sauna, day care (an additional charge) and drink machines.

Their current promotion is a zero initiation fee and the rest of July and august free. They offer month-to-month memberships and yearly contracts. They also have a promotion for student and teacher memberships for $20 a month.

New York Sports Club’s open on Monday from 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. They’re located at 155 Franklin Place in Woodmere. (516) 792-9292.

Southwest Fitness Southwest is a full-fitness facility that offers a cardio center, personal training, suspension training, and classes seven days a week. Some of their classes include Zumba, spin, yoga, body sculpting, boot camp and TRX (total resistance exercise) circuit training, and they’re adding Copoira, which is an African Brazilian martial art program.

“It’s a different kind of animal,” owner, Michael Stephens said.

“It’s a neighborhood club, more of a community than a club, everyone knows your name, intimate small facility. We offer everything big clubs do without the hassle.”

Southwest has flexible yearly and monthly memberships.

As well as personal training for an additional cost. They have a full weight room, full cardio center with stair steppers, treadmills and ellipticals.

Southwest is open from Monday to Thursday from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,

Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. They’re located at 961 Broadway in Woodmere. (516) 374-6464.

Club Central At Club Central, it’s a threefloor gym with a women’s only floor and a co-ed floor. Three hours before the gym closes, the co-ed floor turns into men’s only, co-owner, Eric Roberts explained.

They offer women’s only classes included spinning, kickboxing, Zumba, Yoga, belly dancing and Pilates. There are also hip-hop classes for six-year-old kids to nine-year-olds. There are 6:00 a.m. classes for people who need to go to work during the week, and there’s a men’s only work out area, as well. Club Central provides free babysitting, a steam room, and water fountains. They also have complete cardio equipment including spin machines and treadmills.

“The United States is the most out of shape country in the world, less than 15 percent of people work out twice a week or less,” Roberts said. “We set up to cater to the 85 percent that don’t exercise. It’s for people who want to come in for challenging classes but not feel intimidated.”

Roberts, who opened the business with his brother, Skye, added, “ We’ve been in business since 1996. We’re the longest tenured owners in The Five Towns. We’re the first ones in the area that did women only gym and classes.

We also were the first ones to offer classes after Shabbos on Saturday nights.”

If you join with a friend, there’s no registration fee. Membership is $69 a month, but if you join with a friend or are referred by a member it’s $59 a month.

For men, it’s $45 because of the reduced hours. Personal training is available, for five one-hour sessions it’s $150.

Club Central is open Monday to Thursday from 5:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m, Friday from 5:00 a.m. to sundown, Sat-

one Pilates equipment session, which is close to a $200 value.

We create a program for every one who joins the club based on their needs. We’re renovating a studio to include hot yoga and all yoga studio. This is like an NYC club in the suburbs.”

“We have something called new life group fitness classes structured for beginners,” Owner Edward Ruane explained.

At the Personal Training Institute (PTI), nutrition consultations and one-on-one personal training is their specialty. Everything is by appointment only, but members can come in and use the cardio equipment during the week.

Assistant Operations Manager at PTI, Constance Famiglietti noted that most people do half hour training sessions two to three times a week, although hour sessions are available. It’s about $25 to $30 for a half an hour, and total monthly bills start around $300. They’ve started group training, which is personal training with two to three other people and cost $80 a month.

PTI members perform cardio exercises on their own time, have sessions with trainers on eight to 12 different machines, and see the nutritionist once a week.

PTI has full cardio equipment including treadmills and exercise bikes. According to Famiglietti, there are no age restrictions, either. “We’ve done kids as young as eight years old and our oldest current client is 92. We had an older gentleman who had a walker and six months into the training, he didn’t need it anymore because we were able to

strengthen his muscles.”

Famiglietti added, “ We also have programs for pregnant women. No matter what age, or what your goal is — to lose weight, tone up, or stay in shape, your program is completely personal. We focus on what you need to achieve.”

PTI is open Monday to Thursday from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Fridays from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. They’re located at 88 Cedarhurst Avenue in Cedarhurst. (516) 374-5153.

Atlantis Personal Training and Wellness Atlantis doesn’t charge membership fees, but instead offers blocked sessions of personal training. When people sign up, they can sign up for five onehour sessions or eight half-hour sessions, explained owner, Ira Frank. He added that once someone decides that the sessions are something they want to do, they commit to another block of 10, 20, or 50 sessions. One-on-one half hour sessions range from $40 to $45 and hour sessions range from $70 to $80. Atlantis also offers Yoga and Pilates ($15 a class). Frank noted that all the trainers have experience in nutrition, and will guide people in the right direction and also have referrals to dieticians.

“It’s not an intimidating atmosphere,” Frank said. “The problem with fitness today is that most people hate it. It just comes out of your credit card and you never use it.

The most common issue is that people want to lose weight, but most clientele need a push.”

Atlantis has full cardio equipment including rowing machines, treadmills and ellipticals.

In the fall, Atlantis has a backto-school promotion, which is three sessions for $99.

Atlantis’s hours are based on appointments, but they are generally open on Mondays to Fridays from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. They’re located at 1433 Broadway in Hewlett.

Divver was born at St. Jo-

“He wasn’t on the noisy side, kind of on the quieter side,” said his wife.

Divver spent nearly 50 years as a member of the Inwood Fire Department and recently had retired after almost 40 years working for the Town of Hempstead as a sergeant for the Department of Public Safety. Divver was also a member of the

Paul Divver, with his wife Patricia and grandchildren. seph’s Hospital, now known as St. John’s Hospital, in Far Rockaway on October 30, 1944. He grew up in Inwood with his two brothers, Kenneth and Neil and graduated from Lawrence High School . Divver and his wife Patricia raised their three sons in Inwood and had lived their entire lives in the hamlet until 2007.

“His first love was Inwood — he would have gone back in a heartbeat,” said his wife Patricia. The couple had moved to Wantagh to be closer to his son and grandchildren.

“He was very proud of his kids and their accomplishments,” she said. Divver also liked to spend his time watching sports, eating out, playing on the computer and enjoyed his yearly visits to Las Vegas.

“He was a solid guy,” said Frank Mistero, leader of the Inwood-North Lawrence Republican Club. Mistero and Divver had known each other since elementary school. “He was a good person, someone who was involved in their community and it was a shame he died so young. He’ll be missed.”

A funeral was held on Tuesday morning at Out Lady of Good Counsel Roman Catholic Church in Inwood and he was buried in Holy Rood Roman Catholic Cemetery in Westbury.

Divver is survived by his wife Patricia, sons Paul R., Jr., Keith, and Timothy, grandchildren Ashley and Andrew, and his brother Kenneth.

As the end of summer draws near, Hillel Day Camp celebrates with its annual food drive in the spirit of Color War. The campers have been divided into two teams, Blue, Shamayim (Sky), and Green, Eretz (Land). To gain points for their team, campers have been asked to bring in canned goods, dry goods, paper goods and school snacks to support the JCC’s Kol Ditzriech/5 Towns Food Pantry. Teams will earn 5 points towards their total Color War score for each item brought in towards the drive. Hillel Staff members are quickly filling up bins with food, which will be collected on Friday, August 12th. This summer, team spirit goes above and beyond sporting events at Hillel, as campers fulfill this incredible mitzvah.

Sanitation Follies

n Wednesday morning at 8:30 one of our readers witnessed two trucks from Sanitary District One (the folks that haul our trash here in The Five Towns) parked at the Woodmere Town Dock at the end of Woodmere Blvd. They weren’t engaged in the process of emptying out the trash bins, rather, they were fishing from the dock, rods and reels in hand.

Four crew members from trucks number 2 and number 31 were having a grand old time casting and reeling and catching rays in the pleasant early morning sunshine.

Hardly a week goes by when we don’t get a call or a visit from area residents informing us of some eccentricity or service shortfall from our uniformed men in tan. Last week we had some folks in here complaining that skipping the second of two weekly garbage pick-ups is commonplace and when they call the District office they’re told someone will pick-up right away, but that “right away” turns out to me the next regularly scheduled date.

This happens all the time across our area.

We were nearly besieged by callers from Lawrence a couple of months back reporting that illegal workers (like the kind who mill around at 7-11’s looking for work every day) were hauling trash cans from the backs of houses at 6:00 in the morning over several days and bringing them to the curbs so that the official trash guys wouldn’t have to extend themselves with all that walking. Once a District official got wind of this, the illegals did disappear. Complaints about far-flung trash can covers and cans themselves migrating to disparate parts of driveways are all too commonplace.

Try as we might, we can’t persuade any of these witnesses to agree to be identified in any news story or even in calls to the District for fear of perceived retribution or retaliation of some kind. That’s kind of scary even if as the District insists, said fear is wholly unfounded. What we do know is that there are some sanitation employees who shirk their duties and responsibilities on a regular basis and that all these area residents aren’t imagining these things. Why garbage collection should entail so much drama is beyond our comprehension and why, given the comparatively light duties in The Five Towns our sanitation personnel can’t just do what they’re supposed to do and do it with a smile is just plain ridiculous given that the average compensation package (wages and benefits) exceeds $60,000 a year to haul trash. We’ve got to get residents’ fear out of reporting sloth and put the fear of being reported into the hearts and minds of District field personnel. We’re looking to see what initiative District management will take to address these many and varied concerns.

Toll Hikes

he audacity of New York area government and agencies never ceases to amaze. Nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers fled the state in the last decade, decamping to friendlier climes and still no one gets it. Witness the Port Authority’s latest plan to jack-up the cost of crossing their Hudson River and Staten Island bridges and tunnels.

The P.A. is gunning for a jump in E-Z Pass tolls from $8 to $12 for a round trip this year (a rise of a mere 50 percent) and then from $12 to $14 in 2014 for another 16.5 percent in a period of next to zero inflation. People paying cash would see tolls rise from $8 to $15 and then $17 by 2014. It should be noted that since 1991, these tolls have risen from $3 to $8 today, or nearly triple.

We also know that the MTA/TBTA has been hiking tolls on crossings from Queens into Manhattan and The Bronx.

Tolls at their current levels, let alone at the projected increases, are strangling the free movement of people and commerce, dissuading many from anything but absolutely necessary trips and in effect tacitly imprisoning Long Island residents and businesses here on the island or significantly increasing the cost of living and doing business as compared to most of the country.

E-Z Pass is great because it speeds-up the flow of traffic at toll plazas but it is bad because motorists become desensitized to how much things actually cost and what they’re really spending.

The bright side of all this is that both New York Governor Cuomo and N.J. Governor Christie have veto power over the P.A. and their proposed hike which the P.A. plans on approving today. We urge them to use their vetoes. We also urge them not to buy into any shell-game of approving $2 increases instead of $4 increases. There should be no increases. The P.A. needs to find ways to cut costs and stop adding these regressive, stealth taxes and fees to area residents.

Privatizing LIPA

nother piece of government agency nonsense is the proposal by LIPA to sell itself to a private business like ConEd or another large privately owned utility. The whole raison d’etre of LIPA was to quite literally put the generation of power in the hands of the people of Long Island. Long Islanders paid a fortune to buy out LILCO and assume a whole lot of their obligations arising from the failed Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. The people of Long Island were sold on the concept that a quasi-public entity, as opposed to a privately-owned business would work on behalf of the consumers of power to keep prices down as LIPA wouldn’t have to pay dividends to investors and stockholders.

As it is, even after some rate rollbacks from the LILCO days, Long Islanders are still paying some of the highest electric rates in the entire nation (which goes hand-in-hand with our stratospheric taxes) which makes Long Island uncompetitive with other regions of the country in terms of attracting and retaining large businesses and jobs. It doesn’t add to the attractiveness of buying, selling or owning a home here either. We think privatizing LIPA will lead to little to no good for Long Islanders. At a minimum, let’s keep things as they are for now.

How to Make Money Without Really Trying

By GEORGE SAVA

H

ow can you make money without really trying? If you are a resident of the Town of Hempstead, I may just have the answer for you. I suggest you either get elected to local office or, even better, get an appointment from a locally elected official.

Many of you may not be aware but last year our Town Supervisor, Kate Murray, enacted a pay raise for herself bringing her annual salary to $150,000.

This was up from the previous paltry amount of $140,000 a year. This amounted to an over seven percent pay raise. The Town Council, not to be outdone, enacted a similar pay raise for themselves taking their annual salaries from $61,500 to $66,000. Not too shabby for part-time positions and during a recession no less. I know many people who work two full time jobs and still can’t come close to earning what even a single council member makes in their part-time elected position.

Some might argue that the money is well spent since our locally elected officials are ensuring our well being by creating jobs and lowering our taxes. This falls somewhat short, however, in the face of staggering unemployment, the lack of business

growth in our Town and the highest taxes in the nation.

Others may argue that the money is still well spent considering the hard work that goes into properly vetting individuals for high level appointments? A case in point might be the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter. As reported by Newsday earlier this year, nine Hempstead Animal Shelter employees were paid more than $100,000 in 2010. Eight of those employees had ties to the Republican Party. Six had been elected to Nassau GOP committee seats in 2009. These nine employees made up one-third of the full time employees.

Newsday further set forth that of those nine, “[A]ll but one has donated repeatedly to the local party, to Republican Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray, or to both, records show.”

When questioned Supervisor Murray stated that, “[W]hether a person is politically active or not, that stops at the door for me.” Maybe so, but if not for eight of those employees’ political affiliations, would they have been allowed to enter that door?

Thus the real question we must answer is whether these local public servants are worth the taxpayers’ money they are paid? Are we getting our bang for the buck and if not why should parttime elected officials and those public employees they appoint receive such high salaries while the rest of us suffer to provide for our families?

When you look at the private sector, many CEOs have reduced their salaries as a result of the recession. Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn cut his compensation in half, HP CEO Mark Hurd’s salary was cut by 20 percent and Citigroup CEO Vikram Pan-

TEHRAN’S OBSESSION

e’ve seen it before. And with tragic results.

“The interests of the Muslim people command that we mobilize ourselves to support Syria as a center of Palestinian resistance,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi recently. Boroujerdi is chief of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Iranian parliament.

To hear Iranian officials describe the violent crackdown against protesters by the Syrian Assad regime, is to think that the clashes in Syria are all about the Arab-Israel conflict. One might be led to believe, from statements coming out of Iran, that the Syrian protesters are friends of Israel, protesting the Syrian government’s intransigence toward the Jewish State. Of course that’s absurd. Such sentiments have never been a factor in the Syrian protests.

In fact, to hear Iranian officials describing virtually any event of significance occurring in the world today, would be to think that Israel is somehow central to the events in question.

It’s obvious nonsense. The Arab-Israel conflict has nothing to do with the popular uprisings in the Middle East (labeled, somewhat hopefully, the

Arab Spring). In fact, Israel generally has nothing much to do with the various issues percolating around the globe at any time, any more so than any other nation.

Except, of course, in the eyes of those obsessed with Israel and obsessed with bringing about her downfall, should we permit it, heaven forbid.

The Arab uprisings have had little or nothing to do with Israel. What they have everything to do with are basic issues of Arab governance over the past century, namely, despotism, denial of fundamental human rights, denial of women’s rights, and denial of religious freedom and civil rights generally, to say nothing of not allowing free and fair elections and democratic processes to take hold. Add to that repressive and corrupt economic systems that stifle free enterprise and opportunity.

Tehran, and others so sickeningly obsessed, see all world events and all history for that matter, through the prism of Israel and Jews: specifically, through the prism of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism.

“If somewhere a movement is provoked by America and Zionists . . . we are on the opposite side,” said Supreme Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a statement he issued this past June.

This obsession with Jewry has occurred before.

During World War II, the Nazis diverted resources necessary for their war effort against the Allies, in order to employ them in their genocidal campaign against the Jews. For Hitler, everything boiled down to destroying the Jews. All else was secondary. Hitler refused to reduce the number of

he summer may be winding down, camp ending and back-toschool sales underway, but wedding season is still in full force. There are few things that make people feel as good about the future as young love. Smiles abound and warmth fills the room as you remember the moment you, too, walked down the aisle, your life changing forever.

Who would have ever known at that blessed moment that, at some point, you’d cry over whose turn it was to wash the dishes.

I do not care what people say: you do not know a person until you live with them.

You may date for a month, four months or for a year – it does not matter. Until you learn that he’ll do the laundry, but won’t fold it, there will be some awkward silences and long, long stares. Before he learns no substitutions may be made on an otherwise very specific shopping list without authorization, there will be some frustrating conversations. And until you figure out that your differing political views and heated conversations in your own kitchen are not personal, but rather makes for an even more exciting marriage, those moments may actually make you nervous. Regardless, not until you share space with a person do you get to know their habits, foibles, quirks and what makes them tick. Or that they won’t eat anything made with mayonnaise because that’s an item with a greater life expectancy than most humans.

It simply does not come up when you’re dating.

Our first weekend alone as husband and wife, I went all out preparing typical and traditional fare. The smells of potato kugel, chicken soup, matzo balls, gefilte fish and other classics filled our small apartment. I could not have been more excited to play my part as happy homemaker, desperate to impress my new husband with everything I had made, able to hold my own in the kitchen. Unfortunately, I had not done my research. As much as I knew about my better half, I did not know he was not your stereotypical Jew. Atop my beautifully set table sat the kugel, chicken soup, matza balls, gefilte fish and almost anything else I had dutifully prepared completely untouched – because my husband did not like any of them.

“I don’t like chicken soup,” he said, and continued to say that about mostly every other food I had placed before him.

It was not his fault that he did not like those dishes, the equivalent of someone trying to serve me a steak. Completely disappointed, however, there was only one thing left for me to do – burst into tears. Years later, I look back and laugh, remembering how upset I was and how badly he felt. Reflecting on that moment as I saw the groom watching his bride walk

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

Elvis and the USA are COWBOYS & ALIENS Both Still Very Much Alive! H

T

he truth has a real strange way of coming out at just the right time. Take today’s media “event” highlighting Michele Bachmann’s big opening remarks in a campaign speech she gave this afternoon in South Carolina. The “Crazy Pretzel Lady,” as I like to refer to her, appeared as wild-eyed and Medusa-maned as always, but strutting out to the strains of “Promised Land” proceeded to whoop up the crowd by beseeching them to wish Elvis Presley a “Happy Birthday.”

All the anti-Tea Party media were rolling in the aisles at this “gaff,” as they pointed out that August 16, 2011 is actually the 34th anniversary of his “passing.” But, was this another goof-up from the Queen of Revisionist American History? I don’t believe so! In fact, as a Legendary Elvis scholar, I believe that Ms. Bachmann’s message was clear, and in complete accordance with my heavily-researched findings and educated belief – Elvis definitely did not die on August 16, 1977 – and, furthermore, Elvis lives today!

There is no doubt in my mind that Michele Bachmann knows that Elvis’ birthday falls in January and not in August. As Mojo Nixon stated in his musical tribute to the King of Rock and Roll – “Elvis is Everywhere, Elvis is Everything” – Elvis lives in each and every human being, with the sole exception of T.V. star Michael Jay Fox, who is labeled therein as the “Anti-Elvis.” Hence, if Elvis does indeed live within every other person – then, Elvis does, indeed, reside in Michele Bachmann, as well.

And, what Ms. Bachmann is telling us is this – I am so certain that Elvis did not die on this day 34 years ago that I am wishing him a “Happy Birthday” -- on the very day that all the heretics and heathens among us believe that Elvis “passed!”

This got me thinking about a Talmudic incident in which two famous pillars of learning were arguing about what day

the High Holy day fell on. The chief scholar and statesman – Rabban Gamliel made it very clear which date he held to be the correct one, while Rabbi Yehoshua believed another date to actually be the Holy Day. Rabban Gamliel - who like Charlie Sheen today was the “winner” -because as the sitting President of the Jewish Community, he easily trumped Rabbi Yehoshua. This was not a good spot for Rabbi Yehoshua to be in. President Gamliel ordered him to appear before him in his work clothes and with his walking stick on the very day that the more junior Rabbi had held to be the High Holy Day. What we learn from this fascinating tale from the Talmud is simple – sometimes wise and commanding leaders must make a very grand and spectacular statement in order to get their point across to their subjects. Therefore, when Michele Bachmann made the seemingly outlandish and brash statement that August 16 is Elvis’ “birthday,” what she is really saying is that Elvis is alive and the mistaken belief that he “passed” on this date in 1977 is equally ridiculous.

Michele Bachmann is a wise and confident figure and one who is not afraid to look foolish to the unwashed and uncouth talking heads who comprise the television media today!

So, why, Legendary, are you so sure that Elvis Presley did not die on August 16, 1977?

Well, now that you asked, I will tell you. There are many, many reasons – in fact almost as many as the hundreds of Elvis “sightings” which take place each year: • Elvis was about to testify in a mafia plot involving the swindling of his family out of a million-dollar jet plane, and was clearly in personal danger and needed to “escape.”.

• The coffin which lay “in state” at Graceland for mourners to view contained a “body” which did not bear a close resemblance to Elvis. Further-

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul bewitched, bothered and bewildered in the Wild and Weird Times whooshing upon us at great speed!

more, at the “funeral,” the coffin was carried by almost a dozen pallbearers who could barely lift it – as it weighed over 900 lbs..!

The general belief is that the coffin contained a wax dummy and a sophisticated cooling system so that the wax would not melt in the sweltering Memphis heat.

• On the tombstone in the Meditation Garden at Graceland, Elvis’ middle name “Aron” is ‘mistakenly’ spelled “Aaron,” so as not to give the living Elvis “the evil eye.”

• Elvis’ sole remaining life insurance policy was NEVER cashed in – because it would be insurance fraud to cash in a policy while the insured is living!

• Elvis appears in several wellknown photographs taken well AFTER August 16, 1977.

• There is even intense speculation that Elvis appeared in the film “Home Alone” (as a bearded man in line at the ticket counter behind a frazzled Catherine O’Hara) and that the entire movie is filled with references to Elvis (“Don’t be Cruel” contains the words “you know I can be found sittin’ home all alone”), the home in the film resembles Graceland (the “home” where Elvis still resides, and, finally, the glint in Joe Pesce’s gold tooth – calls direct attention to Elvis’ supposed “last night” which included a visit to his dentist.

However, perhaps the most compelling reason for me being so sure that Michelle Bachmann is right – is that my dear friend Elvis and I, personally have enjoyed hanging out on several occasions since August 16, 1977, and only a handful of those meetings took place in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Perhaps, most compelling is that Elvis always enjoyed playing the Nassau Coliseum and afterwards coming to The Five Towns to partake in some authentic kosher pastrami sandwiches, kishka and Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Tonic. And, then Elvis, and his entire entourage, would go for suits, shirts and scarves at Mur-Lees in Lynbrook.

So, the next time you see that Crazy Pretzel Lady on T.V. – listen to what she is saying -- she is a wise and sagacious lady and one hell of a “leader in the making!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Standard Should “See the Light.”

To the Editor, Perhaps The South Shore Standard should actually “turn on the light” before they wrongly bash good sensible policies designed to save consumers money, clean up harmful toxic air emissions, and encourage industry to develop better lighting options. The editorial “See the Light” (July 23rd) was right in pointing out that Compact Florescent Light bulbs (CFL) last longer and consume less energy. You can save up to $40 in energy costs in a CFL’s lifetime and they use 75 percent less energy than a standard bulb.

These bulbs can be properly disposed at town STOP programs or at any Home Depot. Another option is LED light bulbs. These bulbs use 75-80 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than the traditional incandescent bulbs. Consumers may also opt to switch to energy saving incandescent bulb—which is 25 percent more efficient. There are plenty of options for every lighting need.

The real “environmental time bomb” would be caused if we did nothing to reduce our energy and continued to burn dirty fossil fuels that degrade our air quality, cause toxic acid rain, and contribute to climate change. Every light makes a difference. Hats off to Congress for the foresight in implementing

such an enlightened policy.

County Made Right Choice To the Editor: I appreciated the letter written by Mr. DeNicolo of Inwood last week concerning the Branch Boulevard Beautification and Sidewalk Improvement Project. (“Who’s Paying for Sidewalk Paving,” 8/12). I’m glad Mr. DeNicolo acknowledges the need for this project, and that he took time to request some clarification.

For over a decade, my predecessor did nothing to correct Branch Boulevard’s deteriorating sidewalks. Despite deplorable, impassable surfaces that posed a present safety hazard that deprived countless individuals including seniors, children, and families of their ability to

walk, jog, roll baby strollers, or ride bicycles along one of the most beautiful pedestrian arteries in our community, promises to fix the situation were broken again and again.

Less than two years ago, I pledged to correct this shameful and inexcusable neglect, and have worked to fulfill my promise since taking office last year.

This spring, I resolved this vital community need by securing funds from the Nassau County Capital Improvement Fund.

Typically, abutting property owners are responsible for sidewalk repairs. However, as stated above, these were not typical circumstances. In point of fact, they were caused by Nassau County decades ago when trees were planted whose root systems would later contort and crumble sidewalks.

To overcome Branch Boulevard’s specific challenges, the County weighed variables including the continually worsening sidewalk conditions; the increasing volume of Branch Boulevard traffic, dramatically increasing the risk of pedestrians forced into the roadway to bypass impassable sections of sidewalk; and the fact that, unlike the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County is currently unable to amortize the fee to repair sidewalks into annual tax bills.

This, of course, coupled with the

arrison Ford makes a bravura return to the silver screen in a highly original and very entertaining piece of cinematic fluff in theatres now called “Cowboys & Aliens,” in which a huge spaceship of gold-seeking aliens lands in the American Southwest in 1873 with a suitably nefarious and dastardly plot to take over the world and reduce humanity to food and fertilizer. The film actually stars Daniel Craig (“James Bond” and star turns in two “Jewish” films, “Munich” and “Defiance,” in which he brilliantly played partisan leader Tuvia Bielski) as a Clint Eastwood type of high plains drifter and badass who leads the revolt against the aliens much as he did in the forests of Eastern Europe against the Nazis.

It’s been a while since Ford took second billing, but he’s getting a little long in the tooth for the leading man role (witness his last critically-panned return as Indiana Jones) so now he might be morphing into the kind of roles Sean Connery has taken to much acclaim in the last 10 years. Strangely enough, Ford in “Cowboys” gives a performance highly reminiscent of his second banana spot a few decades ago in “The Frisco Kid,” where he and Gene Wilder cross the West together fending off all kinds of trouble with loads of wry and sardonic humor (intentional or not) and also as Han Solo in the original “Star Wars” trilogy. Ford is also technically a “Member of the Tribe,” having a Jewish mother and “The Frisco Kid” was a Jewish comedy. So he and Craig (who is married to Jewish movie star Rachel Weisz) share a lot of kugel in common, metaphorically speaking.

The movie’s plot is wholly fantastic and you need to completely suspend disbelief in order to en-

joy it. What stands out is the caliber of the acting on the part of Craig (who is great at kicking butt) and Ford and a terrific supporting cast led by the luminous Olivia Wilde as an other-worldly opponent of the aliens and Sam Rockwell (“Matchstick Men”) as a timid greenhorn saloon keeper who joins the posse against the aliens to rescue his abducted wife. There are Sheriffs (Keith Carradine), outlaws and Indians who all form an unlikely coalition (like the Arabs and Israelis in “Independence Day”) to stop the extra-terrestrials.

The aliens themselves are a special-effects amalgamation of every evil screen alien you’ve seen over the past 15 years and are repulsive enough in that reptilian way to warrant our rooting for their extermination. Today’s cowboy and Indian movies basically have to feature either aliens or Nazis or alien Nazis as the bad guys because for a movie to succeed internationally the villains must appeal universally across all ethic groups. If you don’t take this film seriously you’ll have a lot of fun and it’s worth it just for Harrison Ford at his dry comic best.

Books on Cowboys and Indians Also set in the Old West is a fabulous book I’ve been reading called “Empire of the Summer Moon” by S.C. Gwynne which tells the story of the American conquest of Texas and the extermination and genocide of the plains Indians, particularly the Comanches who were the most powerful Indian tribe in U.S. history. It took the U.S. army deep into the 1870s to subdue the Comanches who were courageous highly skilled mounted warriors trying (vainly) to staunch the White Man’s encroachment into their hunting grounds. The Comanches were able to defeat the Apaches, the Spanish and then the Mexicans for over 200 years but couldn’t withstand the might of the American army after the

Civil War. The book really gets into the heads of the Indians (and the white settlers) and gives you a poignant picture of life in the West in the 18th and 19th Centuries.

Reads like a novel and will make you somewhat ashamed of what the U.S. did to the North American indigenous population. But not to fear, our country is making reparations by allocating casino gambling to the surviving tribes.

In the vein of the banality of evil and modern day genocide I recommend two books I’ve recently finished: “The Fall of Berlin 1945” by Anthony Beevor tells the story brick-by-brick and bullet-by-bullet of the last year or so of Berlin’s existence as capital of the Third Reich and all the highly deserved suffering endured by its citizens as the Nazi regime was crushed by the Russian onslaught.

No end of interviews with the combatants and survivors make this a riveting read for WWII fans.

The second book is “Exorcising Hitler” by Frederick Taylor. As you might imagine from the title, the subject matter is focused on the period 1944-1954 from the first allied occupation of Germany until the founding of both West and East Germany by the victorious allies. The book deals heavily with the denazification process (such as it was) in each of the four allied occupation zones and also with the deserved suffering (again) of the German people. The story culminates with the rebuilding and rehabilitation of West Germany in particular and the intensification of the Cold War, which made strange bedfellows. Heavily researched but a quick, entertaining read, this is a period of modern history that has not been overly mined or written about to death and will educate and enlighten you. WWII didn’t end with Hitler’s suicide, there was much to be fought in the years that followed for the hearts and minds of the German survivors and it’s an intriguing tale.

Lawrence Football Looking to Live Up to #1 Seed TEXT AND PHOTOS

ger, faster and stronger than either of his brothers when they were his age.

“I think its the first time ever we’ve had three brothers starting on offense,” said Martillotti of the young receiver. “It’s going to be interesting to say the least.”

Fredericks is the only freshman making the skip past junior varsity right up to varsity this year, but not the only young rising star on the team.

With last year’s starting quarterback Bialostok off to college, the position has been given to sophomore Joe Capabianco,

T

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes are gearing up for another year of football, hungry to prove last year’s run to the Nassau County Conference Three championship game was no fluke. With a talented core of juniors and seniors returning from last years team and a few rising stars coming from the freshman and sophomore crowd, the Golden Tornadoes are the team to beat in their conference.

Last Season The Golden Tornadoes went into the season with a core of younger players during the 201011 campaign. Mostly sophomores and juniors, the team proved the preseason number two ranking right and compiled an excellent 8-3 record for the year. In the playoffs, Lawrence beat up on the cross-Five Towns rival Hewlett Bulldogs, 49-14, to advance to the Conference Three finals. Lawrence was stopped short of the conference championship by the Lynbrook Owls, 39-14.

Senior quarterback Samson Bialostok and wide receiver Cedric Ervin graduated at the end of the year, leaving “a little bit of a hole” for the Lawrence coaching staff.

Expectations for the Season With only a few of their starters from last year’s team graduated, most of the core roster from last year’s team is still intact. Lawrence was already named the number one seed in the division in a conference coaches’ poll.

“We have two All-State players returning,” said Coach Joe Martillotti, referring to senior running-back Ryan Fredericks and middle linebacker Chris Hercules, calling the latter the best line-

Receivers practice catching the ball on long tosses from the quarterback. backer in Nassau County. “Those guys, both offensively and defensively are the core of our team.”

Seven starters are coming back for the defense and six starters on the offensive side.”

Martillotti plans on scoring a lot of points this season using Fredericks and his brother Tyler, a junior, calling them the team’s “two biggest weapons.”

He said Tyler hit a bit of a growth spurt since last season and said he would be one of the biggest, strongest and fastest players on the field.

“With more guys added to our arsenal, we’re going to be even better offensively.”

Martillotti says the team is still young, noting a large number of juniors on the team from last year’s sophomore core. “These guys, some of them have been starting for two or three years now.” He mentioned receiver Eddie Robinson as being one of his other team members he would

rely on during the season for “big things.”

Martillotti plans on using four or five tailbacks on offense to help move the team down the field, but joked his overall plan was, simply, to “score more points than everybody else.”

While the team used everything but “the kitchen sink” last year, he said he plans on getting his team back to basic plays this year.

“Last year, we were kind of all over the place and threw the ball a lot. This year, you’ll see a more ‘ground-and-pound’ team,” he said, especially with ten guys fighting for spots on the offensive line right now. Martillotti said the team has the capability to be a passing team, but that keeping it simple allows the offense’s athletes to take control and free up.

“We boast a lot of team speed on defense this year, which we’ve been lacking,” he said, noting only a few of his players will

Coach Joe Martillotti, second from right, thinks his team is more than worthy of its number one seeding this year, especially after last year’s 8-3 run. play both offense and defense this year. “I think we’re going to be real tough defensively this year.”

The Future of Golden Tornado Football When his older brothers graduate, the future for Lawrence High School’s varsity football team may rest on the shoulders of the third Fredericks brother — Jordan. Just beginning his high school career as a freshman, Martillotti said that Jordan was big-

who has made quite an impression on the coach.

“He’s got a knack for it, he’s a football junkie — he lives and breathes it.” He said that the young quarterback throws pretty well for his age and already understands the offense’s inner workings.

“He’s got some pretty big shoes to fill,” noted Martillotti, with the last three Lawrence quarterbacks taking home either All-County or All-State honors during their tenures. Nothing seems to rattle the

young starter though, according to his coach. “I can’t say enough good things about this kid and he hasn’t even stepped on the field and started a game yet. He’s just impressed us that much.”

What to Look For This Season “Every week is a key matchup,” said Martillotti. “I think Conference Three, top-to-bottom is the toughest conference. It’s the only conference where a nine seed can be a one seed.”

The September 24th game against Hewlett is one of the matchups, he says, the team looks forward to every year, even if the cross-Five Towns game is a mental challenge for both coaches and players.

“A lot of the guys are friends with each other, so its one of those weeks where its tough to keep them focused,” he said.

The teams split their two games against each other, with Hewlett coming out on top during the season but with Lawrence slipping by in the playoffs.

The coach said he was looking forward to the game on October 22nd when Lawrence and Lynbrook will lock horns in a conference championship rematch from last year, but was most interested to face an unlikely thorn in the side of the Golden Tornadoes — Plainedge.

“I think, historically, their the only team year-in and year-out we have trouble with,” he said.

“They just have had our number and always manage to find a way to beat us over the last 20 years.”

Lawrence will face off against the Red Devils on October 6th.

“We’re expecting a great year from this team.”

The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will open their season against Manhasset High School at home on September 10th at 1:30 p.m.

Bulldogs Optimistic to Repeat Successful Season TEXT AND PHOTOS

By JONATHAN WALTER

I

t’s time to hit the gridiron for Hewlett Bulldog footballers.

Players took the field over at Woodmere Middle School on Wednesday for their first practice of the season. The team broke up into their various offensive and defensive units, working on drills as they begin their quest to reach the finals.

After a successful 7-3 season last year that saw the team reach the semi-finals at Hoftstra, only to lose to cross-town rival Lawrence 49-14, head coach Jay Iaquinta is looking to repeat and improve upon last season’s success, despite losing some key players.

Lost Playmakers Hewlett loses some strength with the graduation of 6’4” 260-pound lineman, Niv Sultan.

Sultan was Hewlett’s best player last year, providing great protection for his quarterback on offense and proving and explosive playmaker who can get into the backfield on defense. Sultan was recruited by both the University of Connecticut and Syracuse, but instead chose to play for Harvard.

“Nobody fills in for Niv,” Ia-

ond field goals. That’s something we practice almost every single day, extra points and field goals.”

Martorella will serve as the team’s kickoff and punt return specialist.

“Martorella is our key return guy,” Iaquinta said. “He’s been returning kicks now since sophomore year and he’s a real factor back there. Historically, our special teams have been as good as anybody’s.”

quinta said. “You know, everybody, every lineman on Varsity’s has got to pick it up and as a group they’ve got to be better as a whole than Niv was as an individual.”

Hewlett also graduated quarterback Alex Kahn.

“He was an all-county quarterback right in the middle of our offense. Losing Niv on the line and Alex are big losses.

Who will fill the shoes?

Mark Rizzo, a wide receiver with the team last year, will take over at quarterback.

“Mark has already committed to North Carolina for lacrosse,” Iaquinta said. “He’ll come in at quarterback for us. He’s a great athlete and a tough competitor.”

At wide receiver, Michael Gray will look to continue to build on an off and on season last year during which he was injured towards the end. One of his best games came in a 45-30 loss where he caught eight passes for 120 yards and a touchdown.

On the other side of the field will be Weldon Irvine.

“He’s an outstanding basketball player, so we figured we’d talk and with his height and speed, I think he’ll be very good.”

At wingback (essentially a running back that lines up next to the offensive line one yard behind the tackle), the team is going to be relying heavily on Sam Martorella. Martorella was an integral part of the offence last season until he was injured. He made a triumphant return during a lacrosse game last season when he scored the winning goal with only a few seconds left that clinched a playoff berth for Hewlett.

Iaquinta says he’ll probably rotate the other wingback position by committee. He says Drew Schweitzer has an inside track to start at the position. At what he calls “X-Back,” he’ll likely start Justin Fyne, who has held the position since sophomore year.

He’ll split time there with Gabe

Key Match-Ups

Hewlett linemen work on blocking drills at Hewlett’s first football practice.

Rodriguez toting the ball.

Based upon personnel changes, Iaquinta says he’ll probably look to throw the ball more towards the outsides this season.

“It’s because of the speed and size we have in our split ends and wingbacks,” Iaquinta said. “We’d like to get the ball to Michael Gray, Sam Martorella and Weldon Irvine in space.”

Unsung Heroes The backbone of any team is the offensive and defensive lines and Iaquinta knows it, emphasizes those underappreciated positions.

“I’m probably one of the few head coaches in the country who coaches the offensive line,” Iaquinta said. “For that reason I tell these guys I think this is the most important position and it’s probably the one position where, if you work hard and you know your assignments, you can be a good high school offensive lineman without being a big, strong, stud type kid, and on our offensive line we have a bunch of grunts, who have been in the weight room all spring and all summer, working hard, so I feel good, and they’re all good kids.

Leading the way on the line are seniors Habner Sanchez, Ru-

ben Diaz, Jared Brent and Joel Wilson. Iaquinta is also looking towards younger linemen Justin Ciraolo, Luciano Morello and Ayo Akinnawonu to help out as well.

Stanley Freedman will return as the starting center.

“We were pretty good and we scored a lot of points last year,” Iaquinta said. “Our old line was pretty good. We would like to be as good as that offensive line from last year. We’re certainly less experienced, and we’re certainly smaller, and we have no Niv Sultan on that line. So if this group of kids, whoever it is, can be as good as last year’s offensive line, we should be very good in offense.”

Linebackers and Secondary “At linebacker, We’re looking at Woodley Augustin, who’s a junior; we’re going to have Logan Gross, who was up on varsity for us for a while, and then of course Gabe Rodriguez,” Iaquinta said, “and then in the secondary we’re looking at Matt Miller, who’s a returning player at safety.”

Receiver Irvine will also see time on the defensive side of the ball, perhaps at cornerback according to Iaquinta.

“Offensively, we feel pretty about where we have every-

body,” Iaquinta said. “Defensively, however, we graduated a lot of kids, so I’ve got to say that defense is probably the biggest question mark on really almost every level. We graduated almost the whole defensive line. Linebackers should be pretty solid with the return of Rodriguez, and then the secondary, you know, we have high hopes – we have good athletes back there. So I’ve got to think the D-line is probably the big question mark right now.”

Special Teams “At punter, we have Mark Rizzo back and you know he’s our quarterback, so he’s gonna present a lot of problems for teams,” Iaquinta said. “He’s also a big strong kid and he can run fakes.

He can throw and he can boom.”

Trevor Ellman will serves as the team’s field goal kicker. He is making the jump from JV and Iaquinta praised his kicking ability, saying he has nailed 50-yard field goals in practice.

“Anybody that’s followed us in the last couple years knows we’ve probably kicked more field goals than probably any team, and we’ve won with them,” Iaquinta said. “Two years ago we won a number of games on our last-sec-

Iaquinta is concerned about the team’s opening game against Floral Park, who is moving up from conference four.

“They’re kind of an unknown and they have most of their team back, so they’re going to try to make a point,” Iaquinta said.

Then, Lynbrook, who has developed into a big local rival after handing the Bulldogs one of only two regular season losses last year, will take on Hewlett in the second game of the season Also on the docket is Lawrence in week three. That will serve not only as one of the season’s biggest games as far as local fans go, but also talent wise. Iaquinta rates Lawrence as the best team in the conference going into the season.

Other challenges will include Bethpage, Plainedge and Sewanhaka, who was the only other team to beat Hewlett last year other than Lynbrook and Lawrence.

“There is no real easy game on our schedule,” Iaquinta said.

Expectations “We feel we have really good quality character kids who will work hard,” Iaquinta said. “You know, we always fight till the end. We never get too high and we never get too low, so my sense is that we’ll have a successful season as long as we stay healthy in terms of wins and losses. We should be a factor for the county championship toward the end of the season.”

othing brings out the best memories of summers past at a baseball game, the beach, or a barbecue quite like America’s favorite treat — the hot dog.

While the hot dog, at most times, is made up of the same ingredients, no two franks have the same exact taste. So what happens in the middle of day, say, while you’re walking down Central Avenue and the craving hits you for a frankfurter? No worries! The Standard sent it’s crack team of hot dog tasters out into The Five Towns to find the area’s great, near-great, and notso-great franks.

“It has an interesting taste to it, but was lacking a bit and I was underwhelmed. The bun was solid enough though.”

“I felt like it had no taste. I tasted the bun more than I tasted the hot dog. That’s my only complaint really.”

“I tasted more bread than anything else. It was just too plain. I know you can season a hot dog, but I’ve had better.”

Group rating: Hours: Open Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Traditions is located at 302 Central Avenue in Lawrence. (516) 295-3630. Kosher, check for supervision.

Comments from the panel: “It’s really good. The hot dog is pretty big. It’s juicy, and the bun is pretty good.”

“It’s has a nice texture to the meat and the bun was fresh and soft.”

“It tastes like it’s fresh off the grill, probably because it was fire cooked.”

VOX POPULI

How to Make Money Without Really Trying CONTINUED FROM P. A8 dit took a $1 per year salary with no bonus until the company returned to profitability. Further, NBA Commissioner David Stern will not take a salary during the current lockout and many more CEOs of Fortune 500 companies also take or have taken a single dollar in salary. Notwithstanding, I am not so naive to believe that these individuals were not without tremendous financial resources or that a limited and/

or reduced salary would, in any substantial way, affect their bottom lines. Still two things are important to remember, first these private sector leaders work in full-time positions and they earned their promotions by way of their business acumen and success. Second, during hard economic times they accepted less as a way of telling those employees that they lead and those shareholders that they serve that they too are willing to sacrifice.

There is a very simple quote

by Albert Schweitzer, “Example is Leadership.” I believe that a leader should work towards the betterment of those they lead and should be willing to sacrifice as those they serve are forced to sacrifice. At the very least this means no pay raises. This also means that the local government must tighten its belt and cease anointing individuals with high paying public sector positions. Am I asking too much?

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Getting to Know You… CONTINUED FROM P. A8 down the aisle, both of them smiling broadly, I wished them the best but knew that despite having dated for years, she, too, would undoubtedly make something he did not like and end up in tears. It was inevitable.

Not a prize myself, I’ve also had my own moments. While my husband appreciates the sentimental value of many things, I have minimal attachment to almost anything. I throw everything out, unable to tolerate clutter. Complicated situations have arisen when I have been caught red handed, throwing away birthday cards or mother’s day projects. I’ve also been guilty of giving away some his suits, sweaters or other items that have not been worn in a while without previous consultation.

For some reason, I have decided

to be the arbiter of what he may be attached to, and what must go. Most of the time, it does not come back to haunt me.

When we were living in our first apartment, however, I threw out a bunch of his papers which I had decided he had not used in a while. Without asking, I tossed them down the garbage shute, in an effort to tidy our room. How was I supposed to know he had placed our passports and other valuable documents in that same file? Admittedly, it was not one of my better moves. Luckily, our rescue efforts were a success, the documents retrieved.

For most, the moral of this story would have been not to throw out someone else’s belongings without permission. I, on the other hand, learned something else: before tossing out someone’s stuff, check the pockets carefully and thoroughly rifle

through all papers.

Time goes on, but there is still plenty to learn. It was when we were expecting our first child that I scheduled a hearing test for my husband. It made no sense to me that I talked and talked, but yet there was no response. Figuring there was some kind of hearing deficiency, we headed off to the audiologist appointment.

After sitting in the sound proof booth, the test was over and the audiologist emerged from his desk. “Your husband has selective hearing,” he explained. “He hears only what he wants to.” Smiling knowingly, as if having had this conversation with many other couples, he looked at us and said, “So, how long have you been married?”

Here’s to the many lessons still left to learn: Happy Anniversary.

REALITY CORNER

Tehran’s Obsession CONTINUED FROM P. A8 cattle cars, carrying Jews from all over Europe to concentration camps and crematoria, despite their monopolization of key rail lines. In order not to slow the rate of his butchery, Hitler compromised on German effectiveness in the war effort.

The world didn’t heed Hitler’s crazed anti-Semitic sentiments, boldly announced by him many years before he actualized his aspirations. He was clear in his anti-Semitic ravings, so brazenly expressed in Mein Kampf.

Now, in our own day, if we refuse to heed the obsession of Tehran’s leaders, we do so at our

own peril.

The world-view of Tehran is clear. They are obsessed with Israel. They are obsessed with tying all significant world events to Israel, and blaming Israel for everything she can conceivably -- or inconceivably -- be blamed for.

This crazed obsession must be countered by every means at our disposal.

The future of the Arab Spring depends on it. For, if manipulated by those bent on Israel’s destruction and twisted into an element of the Arab-Israel conflict, the Arab Spring is doomed.

It will then have lost its ties to freedom, democracy, human

rights, women’s rights and liberty. It will have been hijacked by those with a demented, contrary agenda.

The future of the West depends on it as well. For, without an eventual free and democratic Middle East, Europe’s future is dim. If Iran were to achieve regional dominance, with or without Russian or other aid, Europe’s outlook would be far bleaker. And the impact would certainly be felt in the United States as well.

We’ve seen this obsession with Israel and Jews before. We must pay attention to history and fight to ensure that past tragedy is never repeated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. A9 fact that the County caused this situation to begin with due to its actions years ago.

I worked with Commissioner Shila Shah-Gavnoudias of the Department of Public Works to devise a course of action that not only remedied the problem sidewalk, but that also was fair to taxpayers while expediting re-

pair to ensure pedestrian safety.

Remember that one lawsuit resulting from an injury caused by the broken sidewalk could easily cost multiples of the repair expenditure, not to mention the human suffering incident to accidents. I believe that we made a good and sensible decision, and one desperately sought by countless affected residents for years.

Five Towners Come Out in Force for Kulanu Fundraiser F ive Towns residents gathered at the Bridgeview Yacht Club in Island Park for Kulanu’s “A Night on the Bay,” for their annual fundraiser.

Residents from all over The Five Towns came out to support Kulanu, and take part in a silent auction. Items in the auction ranged from popular culture memorabilia

to sports memorabilia, as well as gift certificates to various restaurants and boutiques and even Mets and Yankees tickets.

“This is the third year of our fundrais-

er,” Amy Eisenberg, who is in charge of social services at Kulanu, said. “It’s the first time we’ve been to the Bridgeview Yacht Club though. There are some peo-

ple here tonight who are very generous.

They are wonderful people who support Kulanu.”
