LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

BY NATASHA M. VELEZ The Woodmere Fire Department, which has been serving the community for over 120 years, is looking for volunteers. No experience is necessary and applications are accepted all year long.

Chief Richard Jankosky Jr. of the Woodmere F.D. explained the outreach initiative is a part of their ongoing efforts to recruit new members from the community.

Approximately 100 volunteers are currently stationed at the Woodmere Fire Department and the diverse group, ranges from 18 to 80 years old.

Volunteer requirements include a medical and physical exam and a background check provided by the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s office, followed by an interview. Applicants must be American citizens 18 years or older.

Lenny Cherson, First Assistant Chief has been working there for 10 years. He said, “ It’s all about caring for the community.”

Volunteers are put through an extensive training program. In addition to standard training in their respected academies, which are both located at Nassau University Medical center (Nassau County Emergency Medical Services Academy and the Fire Police Academy,) a two-week course of in-house training is offered up to five times a month. Jankosky explained, it’s the same program all new firefighters must complete.

The Fire Police EMS Academy at Nassau University Medical Center has been recognized as the finest EMS educational training facility in New York State.

Chief Jankosky said, “We are definitely always looking for more members to join. I’ve been here for 33 years and we pride ourselves on having highly trained staff.”

Additional responsibilities include answering fire alarms, administrative tasks and taking care of equipment.

A decade ago, 3,000 lives were claimed by the worst terrorist attack the country has ever seen. And, for local residents and officials, despite the years that have passed, 9-11 feels just like yesterday.

Cedarhurst Mayor Andrew J. Parise was just getting up at 9:00 a.m. on September 11, 2001. “ I was just getting dressed when I saw it. I remember that day… At first I didn’t believe it, you think it’s some sort of movie, until I realized it was happening.

It was a shock to me and having served in World War II myself, it just brought back a lot of memories…9-11 changed the way we live – the security, everything.”

Patrick Dubois of Hewlett was waiting for the train when the news of the attack came. “I was on the platform in Jamaica on the way to work.

I heard an announcement about it over the loudspeaker and I couldn’t believe it. I worked in Brooklyn Photo of The Twin Towers on July then, so I had a clear 14, 2001.

North Woodmere resident Melissa Abrams was expecting another ordinary day on September 11, “I happened to be grocery shopping when the first plane struck but had come home to see the towers burning on television,” Abrams said. “I dropped everything when I saw the huge holes and smoke... I don’t know if I stopped crying that morning.”

Lawrence Village Trustee Michael Fragin was a first responder during the attacks.

“It’s still very fresh. I still remember everything very vividly and the overwhelming sadness…” Fragin said. “I was on the Verrazano Bridge, it was a crystal clear day and I was headed to Philly. I heard somebody on the radio saying that there was debris coming out of the World Trade Center. I turned around and I didn’t see the plane heading but I did see the smoke coming out of the building almost immediately. I was a Hatzolah mem-

76 Trombones Lead the Big Parade Big Year Ahead for Our Area High School Bands

BY SUSAN VARGHESE Standard Associate Editor The marching bands of Hewlett and Lawrence High Schools are stepping into the limelight this fall. The bands are starting the school year with pop-star inspired routines and they’re also prepping for performances in Washington D.C. and Disney World.

Lawrence High School Lady Gaga is taking over the Lawrence High School Marching Band. This year, the band is preparing special routines for their upcoming events using the pop star’s hits.

In mid October, the band will be participating in the 49th Annual Newsday Marching Festi-

val. Fifty other bands across Long Island will also be performing.

The band will be marching at the football home game on September 16. Their fall line-up also includes a performance at The Five Towns Community Chest Fair on September 25 and a performance at the homecoming parade on October 22.

The band is made up of 70 students from ninth to twelfth grade, and is handled by band director, Brian Stabile, Assistant Band Director and Color Guard Director, Joel Gerson, and the District Music Coordinator, Pamela Gallopini.

They have three drum majors who lead the band : Kwadwo Agyapong, Ayal Ciobotaru, and Michelle Rothstein. Most re-

cently, the marching band performed in August for the Indian Independence Day Parade in New York City. They’ve also performed other ethnic parades in the past, including the Greek parade and the Israeli parade, Gallopini said.

As far as fundraising goes, Gallopini noted that they’re already started fundraising for their Disney trip. “We go every two years to Disney, so we’ll be starting our fundraising opportunities. We have a big fruit sale and our parent organization sells sweatshirts and pants at our concerts and school events. “ The band is already practicing for their January 18 concert.

vors. “Very few people were actually rescued from the site. People who got out -- got out, and whoever didn’t unfortunately perished. I was there until about 1:00 a.m. that next day. When I drove back it was so eerie. There were no cars on the road and no tolls.

scene lighted all of lower Manhattan up. The towers were the icons of lower Manhattan and with them gone‌ it was kind of surreal. You wonder, ‘How could this happen?’â€?

Abby Diaz, Bartender at Willow Tavern in Cedarhurst, remembered being afraid that he wouldn’t see his sister again. “On 9-11, I woke up and it was such a beautiful day and I took my sister’s daughter to pre-kindergarten. I came back to work and saw it on the news and I went crazy, asking ‘Where’s my sister? Where’s my sister?’ ‌I knew she worked in the city in building two‌you say so many things to each other during the day and I didn’t remember what she told me in the morning.  Finally, at around eleven o’clock she called me and she told me that she was at the Greenpoint Bank on that morning.  She took the last train back from the City before they closed it and got off in Lynbrook‌I got down on the oor and I said ‘thank God for giving me a second chance.’ I’m so

blessed that she was all right and I had a second chance.�

Woodmere Fire Department Chief Richard J. Jankosky’s wife worked in New York City. “I had her come home. Soon after, ďŹ reďŹ ghters were alerted to respond to a staging area where the Nassau County ďŹ re departments were deployed to various vacant ďŹ re houses in New York City. As the day grew into night, some of our members headed to help at Ground Zero.â€?

Jankosky noted that the attacks have transformed the duties of the ďŹ re department. “It changed a lot for the ďŹ re service as a whole. We’re not only dealing with ďŹ re calls, E.M.S calls, and some hazmat calls, now we’re the ďŹ rst line of defense in homeland security.

Its something new that happened right after 9-11, and it’s just a role that the ďŹ re service took on and we’ve been in ever since.“ Ari Lerner, manager at Hapina Restaurant in Cedarhurst was on his way to work that September morning and casually watching television when he heard of the news. “I was home waiting to go to work and I was ipping through the channels when I saw the ďŹ rst plane had hit.  My ďŹ rst reaction was that it was a movie or a TV show, but then I realized that it was real.  I had to leave in the middle of everything because I had to go to work and at work I was just following it on the radio. I was glued to the radio and everyone was in shock.  For the ďŹ rst couple of hours we were thinking that in every city, a plane was going to fall out of the sky because they were coming down in Pennsylvania and Washington, too.â€?

Lerner added, “It was a big tragedy from start to ďŹ nish. I had a friend who was a trader at Cantor Fitzgerald in one of the towers. He decided to play hooky and play golf that day. He said ‘You know what?

Parise recalled a local resident and friend, Neil Levin, who perished during the attacks. “I helped him [Levin] get his ďŹ rst job when he was in college. He came from Atlantic Beach. I was like brothers with his father. Whenever we were in each other’s presence, he would introduce me as his second dad -- that’s how close we were. It’s a sad day. It brings back a lot of memories.

Craig Montano: “We Loved Him Dearly”

T

en years ago, Craig Montano, a 1981 Hewlett High School graduate, was 38 years old and on top of the world in more ways than one. He was happily married to his wife Caren with whom he had three children and rediscovered his earlier life success as a Wall Street bond trader, moving ahead of 30 other traders within a year, according to a coworker.

On September 11th, 2001, like so many others, is when his life came to a tragic end.

While working for his employer, Cantor Fitzgerald, on the 104th floor of the North Tower, Montano lost his life due to the terrorist attack.

Montano first got into bond trading on Wall Street in 1984, but a rough market forced a change in careers and he started a paint contracting business, and eventually opened a restaurant in Lower Manhattan.

When the restaurant began to falter, Montano took a job in his original field as a bond trader.

“He was a wonderful young man living life to the fullest and it all came down on 9-11,” Montano’s mother Catherine Montano said.

“He cared about his friends and had a wonderful sense of humor.”

Montano left behind a nine-month old son, Liam, who is now 10, a seven-year old daughter Christa, who is now 17, and a four-year old son Lucas who is now 14.

“The children seem to be

Craig Montano thriving,” Catherine said.

“They’re aware of what’s going on. Caren met a lovely man and seems healthy.

Things seem to be moving ahead. Craig also has two brothers. We’ve all been affected by it.”

Catherine’s health has been faltering in recent years and after being a model of health all her life, she believes the stress and sadness of tragedy 10 years ago is the culprit for her diagnosis of cancer.

Montano’s daughter will be reciting names of those lost on 9-11 at the memorial ceremony at Ground Zero on Sunday.

Although his family never heard from him on the day of the tragedy, his wedding band was found at the site months later.

“He was a great kid and we loved him dearly,” Catherine said. “He was very popular and had a great sense of humor. He had a home in New Jersey where he lived with his wife and kids, who he loved very much.”

Patrick Waters, Jr., 45, 9-11 First Responder, FDNY Captain

P

atrick Waters, Jr., 45, was the captain of Hazardous Materials 1, or “HazMat 1,” in Maspeth, Queens. He was last seen by survivors on September 11th in the lobby of the North Tower, right before heading up with his men.

Waters and the rest of his crew from HazMat 1 were in Brooklyn when the call came in for all fire department members to report to the city, according to his wife Janice.

The men left Brooklyn and walked into a nearby firehouse to borrow gear and began a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge before being picked up by a driver who raced the men to the World Trade Center site.

His arrival at the North Tower was captured by the French filmmaker Jules Naudet, who was filming a documentary with his brother about the life of probationary firefighters that later evolved into the film now known as 9/11.

“You can see him right there on the screen talking to Chief [Ray] Downey,” said Janice. “And then he walks out of the camera’s range.

That’s the last we ever see of him.”

Janice said Patrick never called her during the morning and she did not even think he would have been at the scene.

“On my way home [from shopping], there’s a high point in Queens and people were pulling over,” she said. “So I pulled over to see what they were looking at — the towers were already collapsed and there was just a big plume of smoke. I knew Pat would go because he was in special operations, but I didn’t think he would have been there already.”

Waters’ firehouse, which also houses Squad 288, lost a total of 19 men on September 11th.

Waters was raised in Inwood and attended a Catholic school in the area before going to high school at

“He really loved what he did,” said Janice, who had been married to Patrick for over 19 years. “He just loved being a firefighter.” He and Janice had two children — Christopher and Daniel, 14 and 11 at the time of the attack. Patrick coached the boys in every sport they played in, pushing them to be better — especially in basketball and hockey. He also served as the president of the PTA at Sacred Heart High School, where Christopher was attending at the time.

“He was a great Yankees fan,” said Janice with a laugh. “We were a house divided — the men were all Yankee fans and I was the Mets fan.”

Every year, Janice said she is reminded of that September morning when the sky is spotless and bright.

“It started as an ordinary day, but you’ll always remember the sky that day — it was pacific blue and not really a cloud around. Around September, you’ll always get a day like that… and it always brings me back to think about 9-11.”

—Scott P. Moore

eil Levin, 46, formerly of Atlantic Beach was the Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the organization in charge of the metro area’s airports, ports, tunnels, bridges and the landlord of the World Trade Center site.

Only a six months before September 11th, Levin was appointed as Executive Director by then-Governor George Pataki in March. He worked inside of the North Tower of the World Trade Center on the 68th floor.

“With his tremendous managerial skills and extensive experience in both the public and private sectors, I know that Neil Levin will do a superb job as the next Executive Director of the Port Authority,” said the governor in a press release then.

Levin grew up in Atlantic Beach, where his mother Gloria still resides. He attended Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, earning a bachelor’s degree in economics and later C.W. Post Center of Long Island University receiving a master’s degree in business administration. He later attended Hofstra University to earn a law degree.

“He had a big life,” his mother Gloria said, noting she would not know where to start telling his life story.

“I love him a lot, but that goes without saying.”

In 1984, Levin worked as a counsel to the securities

Governor Pataki named Levin the superintendent of state banks in 1994 and superintendent of State Insurance Department in 1997.

The same year, Pataki also named Levin the head of the Commission on the Recovery of Holocaust Victims’ Assets.

Levin married broadcast journalist Christine Ferer in May 1996. Ferer has gone on to become the liaison to 9/11 families for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a board member of The 9/11 Memorial.

Gov. Pataki announced on September 25th, 2001 the establishment of Neil D. Levin Graduate Institute of International Relations and Commerce, part of the State University system.

76 Trombones Lead the Big Parade CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Woodmere Public Schools noted that with two big trips, fundraising is an even bigger priority. “My concern here is that it’s a lot of money to go on a plane and to ship our equipment down. This trip could cost kids $1,000 for Disney.

I’m trying to get sponsors. Performing in D.C. is a tremendous honor for the district and the program.”

Bayen added, “To have these kids be selected and perform… it drips patriotism. Something kids these days don’t get enough of. They can see the Vietnam memorial and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Exhibit. I’m kind of an old fashioned guy when it comes to that. It’s important and an honor for the kids to perform in a national parade.”

They will be doing normal fundraisers and individual student sales, like magazine sales, fruit sales, and coffee and candy sales. Group sales will be to offset costs to trips to D.C. The band is made up of 151 students, plus the 26 dancers on the dance team, who perform alongside the band. The band’s directors are James Dragovich and Anthony Santanastaso. Three drum majors leading the band this year are senior drum major, Lacey Jaffe,

and junior drum majors Adam Roter and Jonathon Arslanian.

The band is also sponsoring an all-county music festival for fifth graders in January where members of the band will serve snacks and dinner.

The fifth graders from across Nassau County will be rehearsing at Hewlett High School in January and then perform at C.W. Post. “We hope to raise a couple thousand there,” Bayen said. “If I could save each kid $100, that would help them.“ At the end of February, there’s a district band concert and chorus concert to celebrate music in our schools months.

“We take all the band students in the district and put them in the gym and it’s like you see a sea of humanity playing band,” Bayen added jokingly. “The great thing is the elementary school students get to see the middle school students and they get to see the high school students, and then, the high school students get to remember back to where they started.”

The 50-piece pep band (a segment of the marching band) plays at every football game from the stand. The next game is this Saturday at Hofstra.

The full marching band’s next event is the homecoming parade and pep rally on October 27 and October 29.

Five Towns Milk Tracker

Local Fire Departments Looking For Volunteers CONTINUED FROM P. A1 valuable skills that may help career advancement are two perks offered through the public service.

“It’s all about helping out in the community and possibly saving a life. Our EMS volunteers are performing life saving tasks every time that ambulance goes out,” Jankosky explained.

Every year, each fire department in The Five Towns reaches out to the community for donations. Chief Joseph Sperber from the Lawrence-Cedarhurst F.D explained, a letter is sent to residents requesting donations for the fund drive.

The fund drive for each fire department is an ongoing initiative to enhance and maintain the departments’ needs. Donations are accepted throughout the year.

Jankosky said he is very thankful for the support of the community and explained, “Every dollar donated is tax deductible and goes directly to the department and its volunteers.” These are the same guidelines for all donations made throughout The Five Towns and their respective Fire Departments.

Sperber said, “We provide an emergency service and the funds we collect from our fund drive go to our budgetary needs to buy equipment and other items that will better help serve the community.”

Woodmere Fire Commissioner Richard Winters confirmed the Woodmere Fire District’s annual budget for the year of 2011 is approximately $2.2 million, which is used to run and upkeep the Woodmere Fire Department.

Community donations from

Woodmere’s annual fund drive provide anywhere from $45,000 to $50,000 a year. Chief Cherson said the numbers fluctuate each year depending on the community’s financial input.

The money is used for extra training equipment and supplies, drinking water, Gatorade, food and any other miscellaneous expenses the volunteers heavily rely on, that’s not part of the fire district budget.

When Hurricane Irene hit Woodmere, volunteer firefighters were at the fire station and out in the community helping residents for two days straight.

“In situations like that, we need to feed these guys and we need to be able to provide certain things for them. Water and Gatorade, for example,” Chief Cherson explained.

“We work with what we have.

We always end up struggling but it’s like anything else. You have to manage it properly,” Cherson said.

To make a donation, please contact your community’s fire department.

Peninsula Hospital Saved at Eleventh Hour, To Remain Open

By Natasha M. Velez

P

eninsula Hospital will not be closing its doors after all, despite the last few weeks of employee protests, financial distress and uncertainty.

The finalization of a purchase agreement between Peninsula Hospital and Revival, a 10-yearold Brooklyn-based health agency, to salvage Peninsula facilities happened late afternoon on September 2.

Revival will step in immediately to restructure the hospital’s operations. The recovery plan will save approximately 700 jobs and continue to serve the Rockaway community.

Although Peninsula received a financial scholarship from MediSys Health Network, they still owe one-third of their $60 million debt to SEIU 1199 United Health-care workers East, a local

union.

Chief Restructuring Officer, Todd Miller, a part of the Revival initiative, said, “We know that the staff at the Hospital Center shares Revival’s values of providing quality health care for the community and we look forward to being able to continue the outstanding work already being done at the hospital.”

The proposed agreement includes both Peninsula Hospital and the nursing home and it will be the City’s first Orthodoxowned hospital.

Revival serves the New York area’s Orthodox Jewish community. Rabbi Jacob Spitzer, who is a holocaust survivor, founded it in 1994 in response to the aging of the holocaust survivor population. In Revival’s mission statement, the health care agency makes it clear that they “have expanded to include the care

of all segments of the population. We are committed to our founding principle: to provide the highest quality home health care services.”

Elizabeth Sulik, Director of External Affairs confirmed that although Revival’s involvement caters largely to the Jewish Orthodox community, they will “make accommodations for all, not just for one specific group.”

Peninsula’s Board of Directors has agreed to allow the agency to take over the day to day operations, which will be effective immediately.

“Revival is very proud to be able to step in and save Peninsula Hospital Center for the Rockaway community,” Miller said.

Union members and the NYS Department of Health have approved the investment. But while the hospital awaits the finalization of NYS Department of

Health approval, Peninsula staff and union members will return to the day-to-day operations of the Hospital’s Center.

“We are very happy that Peninsula Hospital Center’s 104-year tradition of providing ‘quality health care – close to home’ will continue, “ Miller said.

Just last month when Peninsula was on the brink of closing, St. John’s Episcopal started to take the necessary precautions by expanding facilities to ensure the community had a place to go for all their health care needs.

As a result, the expansion plan will cater to 25-percent more patients. That’s an estimated 15,000 more patients annually.

Now with the Revival take over of Peninsula, the Rockaways will have two expanded hospitals in the community with more hospital beds, staff and better facilities.

Lawrence’s New Quarterback Up for the Challenge Text and photos

by Scott P. Moore

W

ith last year’s quarterback, Samson Bialostok, graduated and departed from the team, the fate of the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes football season may rest on the shoulder pads of Joe Capobianco, their starting sophomore quarterback — and he’s okay with that.

“There’s the good and then there’s the bad,” said Capobianco, a varsity starter for the first time this upcoming season. “People expect me to do a lot, but I like that.” Capobianco says he thrives under the heavy pressure and bright lights, but with absolutely no varsity starts under his belt, he has a lot to prove to a school used to winning every year.

“The pressure makes me better, makes me want to do even better on the field,” he said. “This school expects to win every year and that’s my expectation, too.”

The same pressure that he feeds upon while on the field keeps Capobianco in check off the field too — his parents continuously push him for better grades in school and to be the best in the classroom, not just the field.

Capobianco during practice this week.

“My parents expect high grades… high honor roll every year,” he said. “So I do a lot of studying in my free time.”

Football, though, is in his blood and has been for a long time.

“I’ve been playing since I was six years old for the Inwood Buccaneers,” he said, mentioning how he would always end up playing with boys a little older than him. He credits those years for pushing him to be better because he was always the youngest. “It helped a lot then, and still helps now.”

While many players end up bouncing around different positions on the field, Capobianco has been a quarterback since the first time he put on his gear and hit the field.

“My dad coached me when I

was younger for the first four years,” he said. “It was kind of cool — I was just learning how to play and day one, I started at quarterback.” Capobianco said he looks up to Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, although not for his play in the National Football League.

“In college [at the University of Florida], he was the man,” he said, kidding that he has not been nearly as good during his tenure in the NFL. Capobianco added that he drew a lot of inspiration and looked up to many of the past quarterbacks at Lawrence High School, including last year’s starter Bialostok who led the Lawrence team all the way to the conference finals.

When he is not on the football field, lifting in the weight room or hitting the

books, the quarterback can be found helping around the house — especially with his little brother. Diagnosed with autism, Alec, 9, has become a focal point for how Joe goes about his life. From going on charity walks to raise money for research to helping with fundraisers at Camp Anchor in Lido Beach, Capobianco said he finds himself trying to help others with his spare time.

Back on the field though, Capobianco is business as usual — a tough, serious face whenever a ball is in his hands, even during run-of-the-mill practice drills and only cracks a smile when there are a couple of minutes of down time. He said he’s focused on winning the championship this season, especially with the firepower behind him.

“I have a feeling that this team will be great,” he said. “We have two great runningbacks in the Fredericks and great defense, especially with [Chris] Hercules.”

“Football is my life — I really love it. It’s all I do year round — just keep practicing and get ready for the next year.”

For LHS Coach Martillotti, Life Revolves Around the Pigskin

fter finishing college in 1999, it was not a question of if Joe Martillotti would be involved in football when he returned home, but rather an answer of simply how.

For the seeable future, Coach Martillotti will be at the helm of the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes, guiding the Varsity to what he hopes will be another championship season.

Martillotti, or “Coach Mat” as some of his players call him, is heading into his second season as head coach of the Lawrence Varsity football team and his twelfth overall as a football coach at the high school. He replaced long-time coach Lou Andre, who led the Golden Torna-

does to three Nassau County championships and a Long Island championship in 2006, when he retired after 10 seasons in charge.

“Since I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was play,” he said, crediting his father for getting him into the game.

“We used to watch the Inwood Buccaneers play because I lived across the street from Number Two School.

I always used to ask my dad, ‘When can I play? When can I play?’” Martillotti ended up playing for the Buccaneers up through middle school.

Martillotti is a Lawrence High School alumnus himself — he played lineman for the varsity team during his junior

Pregame Preview: Manhasset vs. LHS Golden Tornadoes

By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

N

umber one ranked Lawrence will open up the 2011 football season at home against number nine ranked Manhasset in the Golden Tornadoes’ first Conference III matchup of the year. Lawrence will look to prove itself worthy of its preseason ranking and last season’s 8-3 run to the playoffs while Manhasset will look to climb out of the bottom of the conference after a 4-5 season.

Players to Watch Joe Capobianco, QB, Lawrence: Will the sophomore starter be able to handle the pressure of a regular season game? The Golden Tornadoes better hope so or a major part of the sea-

son is in jeopardy.

Chris Hercules, OL/LB, Lawrence: Lawrence’s “one-man wrecking crew,” as Coach Joe Martillotti jokingly called him, is back for more. Expect another excellent All-State caliber season.

Alessandro Troia, RB, Manhasset: A young team will look up to Troia to lead the way into the end zone. After 700 rushing yards last year, expect upwards of 800 or 900 yards this season.

The Game Plan With a fresh face at quarterback and pure speed out in the field, Lawrence Coach Martillotti will employ a spread offense against most teams this season — including Manhasset.

The Golden Tornadoes should dominate on offense throughout, but it will up to Hercules and the defense to keep a very young and talented squad from Manhasset down. Martilloti said

Manhasset runs a spread offense similar to Lawrence’s, which should give the defense an upper hand and some familiarity during the game.

“Historically, they’re a pretty tough team,” said Martillotti, noting their several playoff appearances in other sports and last year’s record. “We expect them to be a pretty tough nine seed. We see them more as a five seed based on what they’ve done.”

Martillotti said many of the Indians’ players are up from last year’s junior varsity squad, which went undefeated for two straight seasons. If the Indians are hiding more talent than expected, they will certainly give the Golden Tornadoes a run for their money.

The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will play their first game this Saturday, September 10th at 1:30 p.m. at Lawrence High School Field.

Rizzo: Dual Threat Hewlett Coach Leading as New Hewlett Quarterback a Legacy of Success

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

H

ewlett Quarterback Mark Rizzo knows he has big shoes to fill. Alex Kahn lead the Hewlett Bulldogs Varsity Football team to the semi-finals last year, where they lost to Lawrence, but gave the Bulldogs great opportunities to win. Rizzo will try to repeat that success as he takes the helm this year.

Rizzo became interested in football when he was seven years old when he and his older brother Matt, now a lacrosse start at Michigan, played for the Inwood Buccaneers caneers pee wee football program.

“Then I moved d over to the East Rockaway Raiders and played with them until 7thh grade when I played middle school chool football, and that’s when I first started playing ying quarterback,” Rizzo said.

Rizzo likes to think of himself as a dual threat when he has the e ball, with his ability to not only to pass, but run as well. Hewlett is planning on being a run oriented team this year, so it’s a big plus when the player who touches the ball the most, also has runningg ability.

“I like havingg the ball in my hands every ery play and deciding what’s going to happen,” Rizzo o said.

“We have a lot of expectations for our offensive line, the he backs that we e have returning.”

Up until the past couple of seasons, Rizzo has grown up learning ning how to play quarterback back at various levels, but with Kahn under center last season, he played wide receiver, when he had seven touchdowns. hdowns. Despite his success at wide receiver, he is excited

to get back under center.

“I think I’m a better quarterback,” Rizzo said. “I like leading the team. I like being a leader.”

Rizzo’s leadership isn’t limited to the field. Off the field, he knows that it’s his responsibility to make sure his teammates are maintaining their energy and working hard.

“I’ve got to make sure everyone’s staying focused on what we have to get done this year,” Rizzo said. “What the coaches don’t see I have to take into my own hands and keep everyone in line.

ewlett Head Football Coach Jay Iaquinta, beginning his 22nd season at Hewlett, knew since he was a wide receiver on the football team at St. Agnes High School in New York City that he wanted to coach football and be a physical education teacher.

“I’m not sure exactly why,” Iaquinta said. “I had a high school football coach who influenced me and that kind of piqued my interest. I never wanted to leave the gym when I was in high school. I saw our physical education teacher and was like “wow, this guy gets to spend all day in the gym.

That looks pretty good to me.”

Iaquinta said he wasn’t a great receiver, but was a good one. He wasn’t the fastest guy or the biggest, but he always worked hard. He referred to himself a “grunt” and says his personal experience as a football player gives him more appreciation for the players on his team that he views as being “grunts.”

“I started as a freshman coach at my alma mater, and then I became the head football coach there,” Iaquinta said of his coaching experience. “Then I became the head football coach at Lynbrook High School, then the head football coach at SUNY Maritime College. One of my dreams was always to become a college football coach. When I got there, I saw that the grass wasn’t greener and I wanted to get back into high school football. So the Hewlett job opened up, and 22 years later, here I am.”

His team has enjoyed a great deal of success over the years, including winning the Nassau County Championship in 1999.

“I think we’ve been Big Four Champions (County Semi-Final Participants) for something like 11 of the past 15 years,” Iaquinta said. “So, I have to think that we’re one of the more successful programs in the county.”

Asked what he’s learned over his years as a coach, Iaquinta brought up changing family structures and how today you have to treat individual players differently today than when he first start-

“I learned that you really have to pick your spots as far as what is really important. Certainly today every kid is different,” Iaquinta said. “So we don’t have one set of rigid rules. A rule that may apply to one boy is not going to apply to another boy who has a totally different family situation. That’s something that’s changed a lot over the past 20 to 30 years. You have a lot more households where you have one parent, so you certainly have to have a little bit more compassion and give that boy a little bit more rope because he needs a little bit more guidance and direction than back in the old days.”

His in-game strategy has also changed over the years and he has tried to keep his team current with the various strategies that the sport has seen change over the years.

“Offensively, we’ve evolved from a split back veer to a triple option,” Iaquinta said. “On defense we’re always evolving. We’re always looking at the really successful programs on both a high school

Pregame Preview: Bulldogs Taking on Floral Park in Home Opener

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

O

n Saturday, the Hewlett Bulldogs will open up their varsity football season in a game against the Floral Park Knights. The Knights finished last season 5-4 and their performance has earned them a promotion from conference four to three. Because of the Knight’s explosive tailback back Rondell Jones, who earned himself All-County honors as a Sophomore last year, Hewlett defensive coordinator John Palladino has his work cut out for him.

“They just came up from conference four so it’s a new team that we don’t know a lot about them,” Palladino said. “They’re all physical kids and they have a very good tailback named Rondell Jones. He’s a big offensive threat who can go the distance at any time. They run a lot of formations. They’ll go around you and they’ll go through you. On film they look like a pretty physical team.”

Floral Park sports a roster of about 30 players and Palladino says that most of their players play both offense and defense.

“It seems that a lot of them play on both sides of the ball,” Palladino said. “We’re hoping to hang in there for the first half and because we play kids only one way, we’re hoping we can use that to our advantage in the

second half and wear them down.”

Veteran coach Mike Spina has been coaching Floral Park for over 20 years and will definitely come into Hewlett with a game plan.

“He’s been there for a while and knows how to win,” Palladino said. “It’s going to be a good test for us and a good week one match up. I can’t say enough about that tailback though. He’s a very good player.”

Palladino’s game plan is to contain Jones and not let him get to the edge of the field where he can escape defenders and make a big play.

“He wants to get there, so we’ll try to bottle him up and hit him until the whistle stops,” Palladino said. “It’s going to test our defense.

It will be a good test out of the gate because we’ll see a lot of quality running backs this year. We had a good energy out of the gate at practices and the guys are pumped up.”

Offensively, the Bulldogs are hoping to challenge Floral Park with their triple option offense of Sam Martorella, Michael Gray and Drew Schweitzer at wingback, wide receiver and x-back respectively.

“I don’t know if Floral Park has ever seen a triple option so we’re hoping that give them some problems on defense, but we have to take care of Rondell,” Palladino said. “They have a sophomore quarterback, so the plan is to try to force him to be the one to beat us.”

Because Hewlett’s track and field has not finished its reconstruction, the Bulldogs will play their first home game of the season at Hofstra, causing the team to adopt the mantra “start at Hoftstra, finish at Hofstra,” where the county’s championship games are played.

“We’re hoping that the field will be ready for week three when we play Lawrence, but with the weather we don’t know if the crews will get it done. Once it’s done, it’s going to be a great facility with the new field, lights and the track. We would rather not give up the home field advantage to Lawrence in that game. The problem with the middle school is that there are no bleachers and no place to film the game from. It’s just more cost efficient to go to Hofstra.”

Hewlett Football Schedule: • 9/10, 3:00 p.m. vs. Floral Park (Home at Hoftstra) • 9/17, 1:30 p.m. vs. South Side (Away) • 9/24, 1:30 p.m. vs. Lawrence (Home) • 10/1, 3:00 p.m. vs. Sewanhaka (Away) • 10/6, 7:00 p.m. vs. Lynbrook (Away at Marion Street School) • 10/15 2:00 p.m. vs. Bethpage (Home) • 10/22 1:30 p.m. vs. Manhasset (Away) • 10/29, 1:30 p.m. vs. Plainedge (Home)

Rizzo: Dual Threat as New Hewlett Quarterback CONTINUED FROM P. A6 times just to get it right.”

Mark is a dual sport athlete, most talented as a lacrosse player, having already committed to play at the University of North Carolina, but he still loves football and the opportunity to play quarterback.

This season, he is most looking forward to Hewlett’s third game of the season against conference favorite and cross-town rival Lawrence.

“There are friendships with them, but on game day they are enemies,” Rizzo said of the Lawrence players, some of whom he knows from his pee wee football days. “They’re going to bring it and we’re going to bring it. It’s going to be a show. Hopefully we get back on the high school field on our home turf instead of playing here at Woodmere Middle School or at Hofstra so all our fans can come out, but it’s definitely going to be crazy.”

As far as goals for the season go, Rizzo only has team goals

he up-and-coming Lawrence boys’ Varsity soccer team will take on the rival Division Blue Dragons of Levittown in the Golden Tornadoes’ first Conference 5A league matchup of the season on Wednesday, September 14th. After a 7-3-2 league record last season, Lawrence will be looking to improve upon its successes against a team that similarly held a 7-4-1 record last year in league play.

nadoes this season. Armed with speed and a blazing kick, Quintanilla is sure to be dangerous for other teams.

Alex Ramirez, Lawrence: Another experienced player, Ramirez will be leaving the comforts of his sweeper position from last year to move up to forward. According to Coach Leary, Ramirez has responded very well to the switch in practices and a scrimmage held on Wednesday afternoon, but league games will be the real proof.

The Game Plan Players to Watch Kevin Cancinos & Albert Salama, Lawrence: With the departure of last year’s starting goalie Kaith Lopez, freshman Cancinos and senior Salama are manning the goalposts in a sort of “goalie by committee” for the first couple of games. Cancinos is young and “has the talent,” but lacks experience at the high school level that Salama has had. Coach Pat Leary said he hopes to see the situation work itself out as the first few season games progress Carlos Quintanilla, Lawrence: One of last year’s leading scorers is expected to help carry the offensive load for the Golden Tor-

Before Lawrence takes the field against Division, the team will play non-league games this weekend. Friday will see Lawrence take on the Lynbrook Vikings at Carle Place High School at 4:30 p.m. before moving on to take on the winner of Seaford/ Carle Place on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

“It gives us a chance to test ourselves in a real game situation and gets us ready for league games,” he said. “We won last year and it was a confidence booster. Winning breeds winning.”

Coach Leary said he personally does not know a lot about the team’s upcoming oppo-

nents due in part to roster turnovers from graduation.

“From year to year, with kids graduating… it’s a little difficult to figure out who has what,” he said. “It’s a short period of time to prepare, but we see each team twice so we’ll know who’s tough and who’s not.” Leary said Levittown’s Division High School has proven to be a very tough team in his years at Lawrence.

“They’re a very physical team and won’t quit,” he said. “They’re well coached. It’ll be 80 minutes of tough soccer.”

What Leary does know well enough is his team’s plan of attack — hit them hard and hit them often.

“We’re going to attack them and make sure they’re on their heels — fast break style,” he said.

“We’re very quick and we have the ability to put the ball in the net when we’re going well. Ultimately we want to be the more aggressive team out there.”

On the other side of the field,

Leary expects nothing less than hard defense from his team.

“Traditionally, we’re strong defensively and expect it. With the two goalies… we’ll see who will be the starter, but we’ll be okay.

The senior defense should allow the offense a lot of chances to get a good shot in there.”

The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will play their first league game on Wednesday, September 14th at 4:30 p.m. at Division Avenue High School.

and isn’t interested in his personal statistics.

“Since we’re playing our first game at Hofstra we’re kind of doing the slogan “Starting at Hofstra, finish at Hofstra,” Rizzo said. “So that’s pretty much it.

We have a lot of returning starters and backs and stuff, but the line is very new and everyone has been in the gym all winter.”

If his team can maintain any of the momentum that they had all of last season, Rizzo will have a good chance of leading his team to Hofstra, and he has a lot of talented weapons around him to make that happen.

“Sam Motorella and Michael Gray are pretty much my two main targets,” Rizzo said. “I’ve played with them since I was little and we just have connections. Weldon Irvin and a few other backs like Drew Schweitzer will make an impact and I’ve also got Gabe Rodriguez and Justin Pine in the backfield, so I’m pretty comfortable with that.”

CONTINUED FROM P. A6 and college level and see if it fits into what we’re doing and our personality at Hewlett, and also tweaking things each year based upon the personnel we have.”

Iaquinta said one of the most important things he tries to remember is to make the game fun.

“In high school football you’re only playing one game a week,” Iaquint said. “In every other sport, you’re playing a game every three days. So in high school football, from Monday through Friday, you’ve got to make it fun for the kids to play.”

Iaquinta is perhaps most proud of the coaching staff that he has assembled and credits them as being some of the best coaches around.

“John Palladino is an excellent defensive coordinator and could be a head football coach anywhere,” Iaquinta said. “Chris Passuello, who is our special

teams coach, is the head lacrosse coach and has already won a county championship for lacrosse and has been named coach of the year in lacrosse.

Dave Yaker, our offensive coordinator is pretty much an offensive guru. I’m very fortunate to be surrounded by three of the best coaches around.”

Iaquinta also credited a lot of his success to the Hewlett school administration.

“They really supply us with everything we need to be successful,” Iaquinta said. “We also get a tremendous amount of support from the football parents association and the type of kid that we get is a kid who is well grounded and has as strong an interest in academics as they do in athletics, so they are well balanced. I tell the kids that their parents have gotten them into one of the best schools in the country, so you have to appreciate that someone really worked hard to get you where you are in this school district.”

For LHS Coach Martillotti, Life Revolves Around the Pigskin CONTINUED FROM P. A5 and senior years at the high school in 1994 and 1995. He was selected to be an all-state player during his junior year. It was then, though, when he figured out what he wanted to do.

“I knew I wanted to be a coach and a teacher,” he said.

“It was just the next thing and you want to be a part of it.”

After high school, Martillotti went on to play two more seasons of Division III football for SUNY Cortland before graduating in 1999. Soon after commencement, he was right back at Lawrence High, helping to coach junior varsity players.

“It was like two days after I was out of college,” he joked.

“I wanted to be a part of Lawrence High School. I never had that tight bond in college like I did in high school… it was something I never left.”

Football runs deep in his family — his two younger brothers, Mike and Steve, also played for Lawrence. Mike and Joe played together during Lawrence’s Long Island Championship season in 1995 and Joe began coaching junior varsity while his broth-

er Steve played on the varsity team. Winning was not a goal to achieve, it was a way of life that he hopes to continue at Lawrence.

“Keep the tradition alive — year in and year out to compete,” he said. “It’s just the way we play, its something we always want to do.” Martillotti said he sees the team in five years exactly where it is now — in a position to be champions again and, hopefully, Nassau County’s winningest team.

Even with his sights set on the gold, Martillotti realizes he is a big part of teaching the young men on his team.

Through what he has learned on and off the field, he tries to instill a lot of his personal knowledge into the team for life after high school.

“I always tell these guys — in life, you’re going to have to persevere. Most people won’t like their boss and not everyone’s going to like going to work everyday — well, maybe except for me,” he kiddingly interjected before continuing. “One day, these guys will have to provide for a family and work past it — that’s really part of what we’re teaching here.”

“O

9-11

n September the eleventh, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941.Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks --but never before on thousands of civilians. All of this was brought upon us in a single day -- and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack.” So said former president George W. Bush addressing a joint session of congress on September 20th 2001.

This Sunday is the 10th Anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

It was the apogee of Al-Qaeda’s lethal apocalyptic reach and the end of an era of innocence for Americans on a par with the Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations. It led to two wars.

It led to covert and overt missions still going on today to destroy Al-Qaeda and their fellow travelers. It led to changes in privacy rights and surveillance of American citizens. It led to massive amounts being spent to interdict would-be terrorists and bolster airline safety. It led to burgeoning patriotism and concurrently to divisions in American society about the War on Terror that have been extrapolated to other spheres in American politics to such an extent that these days you’re either a red state or blue state with very little room in the middle for purple.

Thanks to the ubiquity of 24/7 full time media, most Americans were treated to the horror, live, of the second plane slamming into the second tower followed by the collapse of both buildings, a hitherto unimaginable sight of death and destruction on a scale straight out of the movies. Only everyone watching knew this was all too real.

American media this week has been rife with disturbing images being shown again and again and again. One can only imagine the post-traumatic stress all of this must be triggering among our friends and neighbors.

One of the post 9-11 divisions in our society has been over the nature and seriousness of the conflict we’ve been thrust into.

There are many in our country who refuse to believe that we are engaged in a war with militant Radical Islam – naively insisting that we’re only battling a lunatic fringe and not the sentiments of a vast segment of the Islamic world. Just as there were appeasers and apologists for Communism during the Cold War, there are quite a few today who believe in “American guilt,” our policies are to blame. These same people don’t believe in the use of force for any reason and delude themselves into thinking that if only we cater to and kowtow to the Islamists that we’ll be able to buy their love. These are many of the same people who believed before Rudy Giuliani became mayor of New York City that rampant crime was being caused by poverty. Rudy posited that crime is caused by criminals and they need to be dealt with harshly. The light of history has shown that he was entirely correct.

The conflict with Radical Islam has taken the place of the Cold War in the existential nature of the danger and no amount of self-delusion will change the reality of the situation. As distasteful as it is to see soldiers returned home killed or crippled in far away lands, every day they take the war straight to the enemy so that we don’t have to fight that war here on our streets, on our buses, trains, shopping malls or heaven forbid in our schools or places of worship.

The resolve of our military and covert services to win this war has kept the home front relatively safe and life here relatively normal in the years since 9-11. On Sunday, Americans will remember and honor the memory of all the heroically brave first responders from that tragic morning 10 years ago. We will also recall the thousands of innocent civilians who were vaporized sitting at their desks or jumped to their doom or were buried under the rubble.

We hope the U.S. will keep up the pressure on the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan and keep targeting Al-Qaeda leaders for assassination. We also call on the Obama Administration to get off Israel’s back as it too combats the intolerant forces of evil who view the U.S. with equal antipathy. It is also time to deal harshly with the Islamo-Fascist regime in Iran and make sure that there is both regime change and that Tehran never gets nuclear capability with which it would threaten the entire civilized world.

There are no amount of words that will bring back our loved ones, no amount of praise that will suffice to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, although the words must be said and the praise repeated. The best way to honor the legacy of the fallen from 9-11 is to see the triumph of American Democracy both at home and abroad and the utter vanquishing of our enemies so that future generations will never be threatened by the kind of violent, twisted religious fanaticism that took so many of our best and brightest on both 9-11 and in the War on Terror that has followed.

A DEMOCRATIC VOICE

SEPTEMBER 11 REMEMBERED

BY DAVID FREEDMAN

I

was driving to meet a potential client out in Farmingdale that Tuesday morning, September 11, 2011. There was a road block ahead and a police officer turned me around. He wouldn’t say why, only that an airplane had crashed into the Twin Towers and the road was closed and I should go home. Instead I went to my office in Lawrence and watched in horror on one of the secretaries’ computer as the second of the Twin Towers was crashed into by an airliner.

I went home and watched on TV as the towers fell. I remember that my wife and I decided to pull our twins out of their Kindergarten class at HAFTR. The teacher told us we were overreacting. We probably were, but who knew what to do? When your children are involved, you take no chances and the world at that moment was changed forever and we knew it. I remember watching Walter Cronkite on the television as a six year old, home from school with a sore throat tell the world that President Kennedy was dead. I knew then that world was changed forever. Now on September 11, 2011, I had little ones of my own and I knew the world we hoped would be theirs was to be forever changed and not in a good way.

We are told to go from strength to strength. The immediate effects of 9-11 were stories of unbeliev-

able courage and caring for each other. Acts of kindness became the force of unity for this country. As we buried our dead and pledged to go forward, we knew that with a renewed vigor and determination, we could make this country once again be the great place that we envisioned. But mostly, we dreamed of a return to safety for ourselves and this world. We hoped and prayed that it should become a better place, a haven from narrow mindedness and a place of pride for us to build a renewed life for ourselves and especially our children.

So here we are about to remember the tenth anniversary of this most tragic day. Have we done what we had hoped? Has the world become safer? Has it become a kinder place? Yesterday, as I took my shoes off and my belt in Fort Lauderdale Airport and stepped into an X-Ray machine, I thought back about those days after 9-11 when despite the tragedies, we saw a reawakening of the joining forces that made this country great. And as I slipped back into my shoes, I thought about how Ground Zero still is not rebuilt. I thought of how we have become, once again fractured and frightened, of how we have sent so many young men and women into harm’s way and still the world is not any better or safer or kinder than when we watched the towers fall. Rather, we still see politics as usual, dividing the spoils of good intentions and corrupting the best that we as Americans can be. How come our leaders just don’t get it! We wanted to make a better world from a tragedy. Now 10 years later, we have a weaker, less safe country, poorer in spirit and economies and the lesson has not been learned.

This Sunday, when we go to the many memorials or watch them on TV, Let’s get really energized to make 9-11 really change the world for good.

Let those who died on this historic day, not be a footnote in history, rather let us make them the symbols of a real change, a real place of a UNITED States and a safe and pleasant place to live our lives and raise our children.

CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY

The Vindication of Ronald Reagan

By Frank Scaturro

I

ntertwined American and British flags normally would seem an odd choice to celebrate Independence Day, but they waved at Grosvenor Square in London on this July 4 under special circumstances: the dedication of a statue of Ronald Reagan commemorating the centennial of his birth on the grounds of the American Embassy. Comparable ceremonies abroad over the last week honored Reagan, included a Mass of thanksgiving in Krakow, Poland; another statue unveiling in Budapest; and the renaming for Reagan of the street in front of the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Prague.

The embrace of President Reagan’s memory 100 years after his birth was hardly predictable

Frank Scaturro, was a Republican candidate for Congress from Long Island’s 4th Congressional District and a former Counsel for the Constitution on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is the author of, among other works, President Grant Reconsidered.

in his time. In a 1976 episode of “All in the Family,” Archie Bunker’s revelation that he had cast a write-in vote for Reagan for president was a laugh line. During the first two weeks of his presidency, Reagan bluntly condemned the Soviet government as amoral, and the Washington Post in turn criticized his supposedly simplistic “good-vs.-evil approach” to the Kremlin. A 1987 article in American Heritage magazine entitled “Presidential Follies” juxtaposed the evolving Iran-Contra scandal with the most notorious scandals in American history. The article was punctuated by an Edward Sorel cartoon of our 40th president plummeting into hell with other presidents perceived as tarnished.

Such criticisms and caricatures, acceptable then, are conspicuously out of place today. Reagan had the vision and character needed to confront the great issues of his time, which equipped him to effect a sea change in policy while enduring the criticism that naturally comes when leaders steer a fundamentally new course. He entered the White House on the heels of several presidencies that had ended with some level of disappointment.

Some questioned whether the office had become

or the week surrounding my birthday, I am usually in full celebration mode. Birthday wishes are accepted for many days before and after the actual date, and while alternate side is not suspended, I do think it could be. As can be imagined, I have no shame about using my special day for discounts, free desserts or being moved to the head of the line at Disney World. After all, they are all perks that come with being the Birthday Girl.

This year, however, I have cancelled the parade, though I am not protesting anything, nor am I depressed. This is not a “milestone year” which would send me into a funk and I am not in denial that I am getting older. And yet, I do not feel like celebrating nor do I feel like being funny. Although I have many stories to share, and this has been an interesting week, I cannot help but choose to save them for another time. There is a much more significant date to remember this year and as the anniversary gets closer, I prefer to reflect rather than party.

Ten years ago this week, I was starting a new job about which I was really excited. My children were entering new stages of life, one starting nursery, the other beginning to crawl, and the weather was simply idyllic. The morning of September 11th, I had walked my girls to school, not a cloud in the sky and not a care in the world. Life, as I knew it, could not get any better than that moment.

I will always remember exactly where I was when I first heard the news. I am pretty confident that the person who told me has no idea that she is part of that memory. As I reflect on that moment in time, however, she is inextricably linked to that fateful morning. I walked home, surrounded by an eerie feeling that I needed to get home quickly, that being outside was not safe. It made no sense – it was a beautiful day. And yet my husband breathed a sigh of relief as he saw us, as if we had weathered an incredible storm with only the shirts on our backs, afraid we would never be reunited. Upon entering our home, we quickly sat down to watch what would be the footage that would forever alter, shape and connect American lives.

Each year since it happened, I have felt an overwhelming responsibility to the students in my classroom, desperately needing to help them remember appropriately, refusing to allow the day to become trivial or meaningless, as have so many other things. In the past, my students have needed to memorialize the day as a way to cope with their own memories, looking back as to how afraid they were, how

y now I am sure everyone in the Five Towns has turned off their sprinklers, put out huge Tupperware bins for fresh drinking and bathing water and finally cancelled their onerous and draconian Long Island American Water accounts. Rain, and lots of it, are one of the last great free perks of living during the midst of the end of the world. While banks in the region, and perhaps across this nation, are rapidly decreasing, and in many cases, totally eliminating free coffee service in their branches, we are experiencing so much free drinking, bathing and irrigation waters that The Five Towns has suddenly surpassed Seattle and London as the wettest region in the world. But, bring it on, baby, free is free, and I can still smoke my “no-name Honduran Robustos” under my overhang!

In fact, wet sneakers is a small price to pay to once and for all effectuate the much-deserved demise of the evil American Water, the only company in America that does not accept “checks by phone.” If only we would get constant electrical storms, as well, we could also bankrupt LIPA, too. Prolonged lightening would definitely result in free electricity for all! So, with all the inclement weather outside, I am spending more time indoors, and with the absence of any of the Great Magneto’s “Mandatory Evacuation” orders, I can even get some work done, without being distracted by my increasingly- distracting thoughts of my challenging him in the next election for Nassau County Executive.

However, while on the subject of my ambitions for public service and, perhaps, a bit of benign tyranny, I once, again, hear the locals chattering about incorporating into a “Village of Woodmere.” This pleases me greatly as I have been one of the early proponents of this prescient idea and have been one

of those spearheading this secession movement. As one of the leading residents of Woodmere (in the exclusive, though little-known enclave of Wemphis), I have advanced a bold and innovative agenda to totally transform the business “ghost town” district that is Downtown Woodmere into a Mecca of au courant fashion, cutting-edge culinary boutique dining and, even, a small, but ultra-hip hotel.

Working with commercial property owners, I will implement a tax-incentive program to encourage a wide variety of “pop-up” designer showcase “stores,” with a changing slew of featured fashionistas, as well as the permanent Woodmere Fashion Lab, where deserving up-andcoming fashion designers will be able to work, manufacture and offer their haute-couture, or other limited-edition wares directly to the public. There is no doubt that Anna Wintour, scion of Vogue magazine will start to frequent the area, and may even decide to buy a home in nearby Hewlett Bay Park. And, while Anna is in town she will surely need to “take” lunch with some of her other high-powered fashion cronies. Well, this will not be a problem, as Broadway will peppered with a several cuisineforward boutique restaurants and cafes, featuring menus ranging from Vegan, Nouvelle, Kosher to, of course, prime Sushi and brick-oven Pizza .

Not only will Woodmere, suddenly become the center of creative endeavors and sophisticated culture on Long Island, but, visitors will be encouraged to remain in town overnight, or even longer, at the Town’s new ultrahip hotel, “The Woods,” which will even include a large Ballroom for affairs, and, free payfor-view in all the rooms. Of the premium suites available – The Woodmere Suite will be for visiting dignitaries, The Lawrence Suite – for notable out-of-town rabbis, The Hewlett Suite – for

celebrities trying to get their children into public school in District 14, The Cedarhurst Suite -- for vacationing meter maids and bureaucrats, and the Inwood Suite for those seeking a “short-stay” option, featuring hourly rates!

The huge revenues that cutting-edge city planning and this bold post-urban development project will bring the new Village of Woodmere will enable not only a state-of-the art Village Hall –the new home of The Legendary Mayor Danny O’Doul – but, also a magnificent, sparkling, “Presidential-Quality” District 15 Library and free parking for all shoppers in a new multistory covered parking lot.

As the Village of Woodmere’s first Mayor, I, The Legendary Danny O’Doul, also intend to attract the esteemed Cordon Bleu Cooking School to the Village, as well, as a really-first rate “Vilna-Quality” advanced Yeshiva, to be known as, “The Voodmere Academy.”

And, no budding colony of culture would be complete without an “Art Movie House,” so – “The Great Woods Twin,” will feature established cinematic gems with a nexus to The Five Towns and its environs – such as “Good Fellas,” (Lawrence) “The Flamingo Kid” (Atlantic Beach) and Woody Allen’s classic, “Zelig” (Long Beach).

So, during the next year, you will surely hear more about this burgeoning Woodmere Village Initiative and, will surely, join hundreds of our neighbors who have been twisting my arm trying to enlist, yours truly, humble and reluctant – The Legendary Danny O’Doul – to agree to serve as the First Mayor of the Village of Woodmere.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT, call, e-mail, write or visit the offices of The South Shore Standard (conveniently located on Broadway in Downtown Woodmere diagonally across from my dear friend, Joel Baruch’s Gotta Get A Bagel – convenient fee parking is available) in an effort to further influence me to consent to run as Woodmere’s first Mayor.

As you must surely know, by now -- I am basically a shy, unassuming, and extremely reluctant legendary celebrity!

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

9-11 Dreams

-11 is everywhere. The ubiquity of it is overwhelming and all-enveloping. On every channel, in every publication (including this one) and across the web. An orgy of reflection and introspection has burst forth on the collective consciousness of the country as the 10th Anniversary of this most horrible day is commemorated.

Ten years ago I was on my last month living in Manhattan, having purchased my current home the month prior. My office was here in The Five Towns and I was reverse-commuting for many years. On the morning of September 11th I was dashing out of the apartment to visit an important customer in Brooklyn. Typically, as I was living on Riverside Drive, I would take the West Side Highway down to the Battery Tunnel to Brooklyn.

Hearing of a fire at the World Trade Center and that the road was blocked off, I took an alternate road, not imagining the scope of the tragedy that would ultimately unfold as I was en route.

The Belt Parkway used to have an amazing view of the World Trade Center, particularly from the many bridges along the way.

Like something out of a science fiction movie, I found myself stopped dead midway on the Belt with hundreds of other cars for two plus hours. My fellow stranded motorists and I all were out of our cars staring at the jet black cloud enveloping lower Manhattan. It was like taking a magic marker to a photo of Manhattan and blacking out the Financial District. It looked like the biblical Plague of Darkness or the tangible visitation of some great evil on the city. Cell phones didn’t work for most of the morning, adding to

the anxiety. A lot of radio stations were off the air. Needless to say, I didn’t get to my appointment. Eventually, they turned us all around and sent us east with no one permitted back into the city. After three days bunking here with family, I finally got back into town. The smell of Riverside Drive from the raging WTC fires a few miles directly south and from the death cloud when the towers collapsed was palpable and I’ll not ever forget that dismal aroma. Dust was everywhere, composed of what I don’t want to know. Fortunately, we were slated to move into our home here in October as in the weeks after 9-11, Manhattan didn’t seem like the place to be.

Air travel ground to a halt and even when the airlines started flying again, hardly anyone wanted to fly. I was then in a business that required a lot of travel and it took me clear up until mid December to muster the internal fortitude to board an airplane again. My then wife was so unnerved at the prospect of my jetting off to Europe that she decided to join me and so with hearts thumping prior to take-off we were on a half-empty jumbo jet to Paris. You never saw the French as sympathetic to Americans as during that month in 2001.

As a kid I had the window seat at the Lindell Blvd School in Long Beach which was on the water facing Lower Manhattan.

Throughout my sixth grade year I watched one of the former twin towers pierce the sky as it was being initially erected. Like many New Yorkers, I never went to Windows on the World nor did I visit the WTC observation deck, although in retrospect, I wish I had.

I’ll admit to having had nightmares for weeks from the sights I beheld from my perch on the hood of my car on the Belt that bright clear September morning

and from the smell of the city for the two weeks afterwards (the fires continued to burn at Ground Zero for months) so all of this renewed focus on the 9-11 anniversary is filling me with ambivalence. In the immediate aftermath of 9-11, I felt that my life ought to have larger meaning, bigger purpose and better choices – that I was going to make big changes and make each day worth living due to the capriciousness and fragility of life. Instead, like many, I kept on with my work and life routines, chasing a buck and funneling a big percentage of it into the monthly mortgage payment.

Now the anniversary has me reflecting again on the meaning of life, how very precious it is and how most of us squander vast amounts of it on no end of nonsense, myself included.

Even before 9-11 I’m at 9-11 overload and would prefer it all to go away. Like Holocaust commemorations and films, I know they’re important to watch and participate in but that doesn’t mean I’m at all happy about it.

Obviation and obliviousness to the memories of that morning 10 years ago will be most welcome come Monday morning, September 12, 2011, so like the rest of the Lemmings that comprise this great nation we can go back to consuming popular culture and sports, immerse ourselves in work and not have to confront evil and tragedy, such are the great gifts of being an American in our day and age.

Remembering Daniel Rogov I was very sad to learn of the sudden passing on Wednesday of renowned Israeli wine critic Daniel Rogov. Rogov was born in America, spent time in Paris and migrated to Israel in 1978 and joined the daily paper Ha’Aretz in 1984 where he became their wine and food critic.

ANTHONY J. SANTINO To the Editor, When our community succeeds, it is cause for celebration.

The success of the Five Towns Jewish Community Center’s girls basketball team at the first ever JCC Maccabi Games in Israel culminated in a second-place finish. That’s something we all can be proud of.

When the games began, more than 1200 participants from more than 50 different Jewish Community Centers across the world - from the United States to South Africa and from Israel to Canada - filled Kiryat Shomanah Soccer Stadium. When the games ended, our community’s players took home the silver.

Congratulations to each member of the Girls Basketball Team as well as their families. Special recognition should also go to Coach Michael Alon for transforming a group of well-rounded players from different area yeshivas into a cohesive group

How to Deal with a Loss To the Editor, Many of us were affected by the Hurricane-Tropical Storm Irene. If you sustain a loss, the first thing to do is to notify your insurance company or its agent.

You can do this by telephone, however it is a good idea to follow up with written notification since this way you maintain a “paper trail”. Remember, if you give the notice to your broker rather than directly to the insurance company, you still have a responsibility to make sure that the insurance company receives notice of your claim.

It is also important to notify your insurance company promptly after any incident takes place that might result in a claim at some later date, even though no claim was made at

the time the event occurred.

For example, if your dog bites a neighbor or a guest falls on your property, it should be reported to the insurance company even though you don’t know whether any claim is actually going to be made against you. Your failure to notify the company promptly might result in a denial of coverage in the event a claim is filed against you at a later date.

It is also important to protect your property against further damage. For example, if the windows are broken, have them boarded up to protect against further vandalism or burglary.

The cost of this type of protection is covered in the policy and would be reimbursed by your insurance company.

However, no permanent repairs should be made until your company or its representative has inspected the property. The company has the right to inspect the property in its damaged condition, and can refuse

Chabad Shuts Out Beth Sholom to Take Shul League Crown got a base runner over to third base with no one out and Rabbi Meir Geisinsky grounded out to the right side of the infield to drive in a run.

In the top of the third, Chabad scored in similar fashion. This time, Zack Hatten grounded out to second base, driving in the runner on third base with only one out on the board.

Those two runs would be more than enough, but Mark Seabag contributed an RBI single in the top of the fourth inning to increase Chabad’s lead to 3-0.

habad of The Five Towns won the Synagogue League Finals after defeating Beth Sholom 3-0 on Sunday.

Avram Schreiber pitched a shutout on the way to the three run win played at Lawrence Middle School. The final followed each team’s elimination semifinal games and each team’s pitcher starting both games of their double header.

Semi-Finals Chabad won their semi-final game 6-5 over the White Shul.

They fell behind 3-0 to start the game due to fielding errors, but rallied to go ahead 5-3. After the White Shul tied the game up at five, Chabad’s David Weisman hit a walkoff single

to send his team to the finals.

“The first game was a grind in and of itself because we faced a very good team,” Schreiber said.

“We just eked it out 6-5 and I was wondering if I should even be out there against Beth Sholom because I left everything out on the field in that first game.”

Beth Sholom won their semi-

final game 10-8 over Ahvas Yisroel, with most of White Shul’s runs coming on errors by Beth

Sholom. The game was tied 7-7 going into the sixth inning when Beth Sholom loaded the bases for Neil Osrof. Osroff came through, delivering a bases clearing double to put his team up 10-7 and send his team to the finals. Yehuda Konig, the Beth Sholom pitcher had just one poor inning in which he gave up six runs.

The wins set up a match up between the two top teams in the league, with both having won a

of gas, but kept throwing strikes.

Beth Sholom’s hitters made some good contact with his pitches, but most of their deep drives would find their way into the mitts of Chabad outfielders.

“I was running on fumes and I was lucky enough to throw the ball okay and find a new rhythm and the guys made all the plays,” Schreiber, who is interestingly Chairman of Beth Sholom’s Executive Board but plays for Chabad, said. “You have to take your hats off to the guys behind me. Zachariah at third base was ready to come in and he’s a fine young pitcher. I’m 46 and he’s 19, but Beth Sholom is the shul that I usually attend, so it was a little more personal.”

Schreiber went on to complete the shutout despite his fatigue and embraced his team on the mound after the final out.

“We had a really good season,” Beth Sholom’s Osrof said. “Everyone came to play but we faced a tough pitcher today and he did the job. That’s all I can say.”

“We started off a few years ago 0-7, so we’ve come a long way,” Geisinsky, Chabad’s team captain said. “Last year we played in the championship game and were blown out. This year, we didn’t get many more big players. We don’t have many great sluggers offensively. We just know that we have a good pitcher and we used that to our advantage.

Any time the other team wants to score runs, they’re going to have to get hits.

We don’t make errors and we don’t let anyone get a free pass on base.

Avram pitched really well and we hit better than we did all season. We’re not great hitters, but we’re not easy outs either.”

rom romance fanatics to thrill-seekers, this fall’s line-up of movies has something for everyone. Contagion has a star-studded cast and is likely to increase germophobia across the nation, whereas in the flick, In Time, Justin Timberlake displays his acting and action chops to prove again that he’s more than just his *NSYNC days. Head to the theaters, grab an over-priced popcorn and soda and enjoy some of the season’s most anticipated releases.

Contagion In theaters September 9 An action sci-fi thriller, Contagion is about an outbreak of a deadly disease and a team of doctors’ mission to contain it. The movie packs an all-star cast including Gwyneth Paltrow (“Beth Emhoff”), Matt Damon ( “Mitch Emhoff”), Laurence Fishburne ( “Dr. Ellis Cheever”), Jude Law ( “Alan Krumwiede”), and Kate Winslet ( “Dr. Erin Mears”). The infectious disease, dark tone, and panicked people resemble a cross between the movies 28 Days Later and Outbreak, minus the zombies.

Abduction In theaters September 23 Twilight star, Taylor Lautner flaunts his action moves in this thriller. Lautner, plays “Nathan,” an average teenager who feels like he doesn’t fit in (there’s a new concept), discovers his photo on a missing persons website, and seeks out the truth behind his life. In between his self-discovery, he’s on the run from an assassin who wants him dead.

The film also stars Sigourney Weaver (“Dr. Bennett”) and Lilly Collins ( plays “Karen” and was featured in film The Blind Side).

Moneyball In theaters September 23 Based on a true story, Money-

ball is the story of Billy Beane, The Oakland A’s General Manager who’s in search of the best players, but is limited by the team’s budget. Instead of using the traditional scouting process, he uses computer-generated analysis to draft players. It stars Brad Pitt (“Billy Beane”), Jonah Hill (“Peter Brand”), Robin Wright ( “Sharon”), and Philip Seymour Hoffman (“Art Howe”).

Like Crazy

forever because they can buy as many time credits as they need, and the poor struggle to stay young. Timberlake gets falsely accused of murder, but sets out on a mission to fight to survive.

Amanda Seyfried (“Sylvia”), Olivia Wilde (“Rachel”), Johnny Galecki (“Borel”), and Cillian Murphy (“Raymond”) also star in the film.

In theaters September 30 Joseph Gordon- Levitt plays “Adam,” a twenty-something radio program writer who gets diagnosed with cancer. With a little help from his friend, Seth Rogen (“Kyle”) and therapist, Anna Kendrick (“Katie”), Levitt learns that life goes on. Other members of the cast include Bryce Dallas Howard and Anjelica Huston.

Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia his unconventional methods and his sexuality. Leonardo DiCaprio plays “Hoover,” his righthand man

The Ides of March In theaters October 7 Ryan Gosling plays a press secretary to George Clooney, a presidential candidate. During the film, Gosling is Clooney’s go-to person, but his loyalty is soon questioned when he starts mingling with the opposing candidate. The film is directed by Clooney and has a supporting cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, and Jeffrey Wright.

Trespass In theaters October 14 Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman play a rich husband and wife who are held for ransom with their daughter, Liana Liberato by masked gunmen. As the story unfolds, Cage and Kidman realize that they’re caught in a web of betrayal, and fight back.

The entire film is a waiting game between the gunman and Cage for Cage to open a locked safe with his fingerprint.

cial Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Like Crazy is a love story likely to tug on the heart strings. The film centers on a British college student who falls deeply in love with an American student, but once she overstays her visa, she’s kicked out of the country and they struggle with the distance. Anton Yelchin plays “Jacob” and Felicity Jones plays “Anna,” who are both tested by long distance love and life changes. ‘

In Time In theaters October 28 In this sci-fi flick, fast cars, guns, and Justin Timberlake reign supreme. In Time is about a future of genetically programmed people who stop aging at 25. In order to stay young forever, they need “time credits,” which have to be bought or stolen. Essentially, the wealthy live

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 1 In theaters November 18 First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a vampire baby? The Twilight Saga is back with the marriage of Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson) and pregnant Bella, which doesn’t seem too well-received by Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Anna Kendrick co-stars as “Jessica Stanley,” Dakota Fanning as “Jane” and Ashley Greene as “Alice Cullen.”

The Descendants In theaters November 23 A land mogul from Ha- waii, George Clooney (“Matt King”) reconnects with his daughters following his wife’s boating accident that left her on life support. Clooney takes his daughters on a trip to Kauai to come face-to-face with his wife’s lover. “Elizabeth King” is played by Patricia Hastie, “Alexandra” by Shailene Woodley, and “Brian” by Matthew Lillard.

Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried in In Time

The Rum Diary In theatres October 28 Johnny Depp plays Paul Kemp, a journalist who travels to Puerto Rico to write for a run-down paper. Depp’s pursues Amber Heard (“Chenault”) his off-limits and engaged-to-another-man love interest. Co-stars include Aaron Eckhard (“Sanderson”) and Richard Jenkins (“Lotterman”). The film is adapted from the novel, The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson.

Hoover was nothing short of controversial when it came to

“Clyde Tolson” is played by Armie Hammer, “Charles Lindbergh” is acted by Josh Lucas, “Helen Gandy” by Naomi Watts, “Robert F. Kennedy” by Jeffrey Donovan and “Ann Marie Hoover” by Judi Dench.

Melancholia In theaters November 11 Melancholia is a dark, doomsday tale of a new bride, Kirsten Dunst, and her family who face the end of the world during her wedding, after an unknown planet was discovered. The film also centers on the dynamic of an already damaged relationship between Dunst and her sister, Charlotte Gainsbourgh (“ Claire”).

Co-stars include Kiefer Sutherland (“John”) and Charlotte Rampling (“Gaby”).

The Iron Lady In theaters December 16 The life of former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, chronicled and portrayed by Meryl Streep.

“According to the latest poll, a record 73 percent of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. But the good news: Gas is so expensive that we’ll never get there.”

FOOD COURT Bagel Island a Destination for Pizza, Salads, Muffins and More Bagel Island in Cedarhurst serves a lot more than bagels. The all-in-one place-to-go for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert, features a specialty slice you just can’t find anywhere else and their savory cappuccino-chip muffins are one of a kind.

The spicy fries slice, ($3.50) is regular New York-style pizza, topped with spicy French fries and smothered in melted mozzarella goodness. Other specialty slices include broccoli, mushroom, spinach and cheese, along with healthier slices, topped with olives, let-

tuce tomato and broccoli.

Store manager, Cheski Gombo explained, “It’s a pizzeria, bagel shop, salad bar, ice-cream, coffee shop and a bakery.”

Bagels can be topped with fresh lox, low-fat cream cheese and several other varieties including spicy, Italian or reg-

ular tuna. Chef’s salad and Israeli salad (veggies prepared in lemon juice, salt and pepper,) are also available. Not many restaurants offer a full breakfast under $5, but Bagel Island does. Start your day with two eggs on a bagel and a coffee for just $4.25.

The ‘fast-food’ restaurant features a full salad bar stocked with fresh Portobello mushrooms, veggies, feta cheese, chickpeas and mouth-watering dressings like Russian and Italian to top it all off.

Make your next trip to Bagel Island sweet and satisfying, with your choice of flavored hot or iced coffee, paired with specialty desserts like the cappuccino-chip muffin ($2.25). Other desserts include chocolate cheese danishes, soft-serve ice-cream and yogurts.

Bagel Island is located at 480 Rockaway Turnpike, Cedarhurst.

You can reach them at (516) 239-6122. They are Glatt Kosher under the VAAD of Far Rockaway and are open from Sunday through Thursday 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Friday 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. They are closed on Saturday.

–Jay Leno “Mitt Romney revealed a 59-point job plan at a big auto dealership. That shows you how smart Romney is.

He knows that a politician only looks honest when he’s standing next to a car salesman.”

–Jay Leno “One of President Obama’s speech writers quit his job to pursue his dream of writing comedy. So now, he’s a speech writer for Michele Bachmann.”

Assorted specialty muffins include double-chocolate Spicy fries and mozzarella cheese make for a unique spechip (left,) cappuccino-chip (front-center,) and corn- cialty slice, only offered at Bagel Island. bread (behind.)

More Than a Bagel

–Conan O’Brien “According to a report, the Post Office could go out of business this winter. On the bright side, the Post Office won’t receive the report in the mail for another two years.”

–Conan O’Brien “The Los Angeles Dodgers may be bought by Chinese investors. Finally, something China is not going to win at.”

–Conan O’Brien “George W. Bush’s niece was married over the weekend. The wedding was rodeo-themed, just like Bush’s presidency.”

–David Letterman “Labor Day is when Americans take three days off from looking for work.”

–David Letterman “A town in Arizona wants to have its own version of Spain’s running of the bulls.

Right. If there’s one thing Arizona is missing it’s thousands of Spanish-speaking people running for their lives.”

–Jimmy Fallon “The fact that you’re out of money makes you relatable to so many Americans right now.”

–Stephen Colbert to Tim Pawlenty “New statistics show the U.S. economy added 0 jobs in August. The White House cautioned Americans not to read too much into those numbers. What numbers?”

–Jay Leno “I read that a man from Illinois discovered $150,000 in his garden. Did you hear that, President Obama? A man from Illinois actually grew the economy.”

–Jimmy Fallon “A woman in Alaska punched a bear in the face after it threatened her dog.

Or as Sarah Palin put it, ‘Teach me, sensei.’”

–Jimmy Fallon “After Labor Day, you’re supposed to put away your white clothes. I hope someone tells Moammar Gadhafi it would be bad to wave the white flag today.”

–Craig Ferguson “Some jobs are growing: health care, solar technology and translating for our soon-to-be Chinese overlords.”

CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY

The Vindication of Ronald Reagan Reagan’s greatest achievement came in foreign policy, where the Cold War was won, in the words of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher etched beneath the Reagan statue in London, “without firing a shot.”

Here too he departed from the more defensive posture followed by predecessors of both parties. The Soviet economy, in his view, was weaker than most experts (including in the CIA) believed, and that weakness should be exploited. So he went on the offensive, waging an aggressive arms race and pushing for democratic reforms that precipitated Soviet collapse. The opposition to his defense policies was intense—the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) in particular was widely lampooned— but President Reagan’s determination led the Soviets to back down. With the Soviet collapse that followed came the collapse of communist systems throughout Eastern Europe, freeing millions of people from totalitarian rule.

CONTINUED FROM P. A8 too much for one man. Those questions were laid to rest by the time of Reagan’s retirement.

On the domestic front, he knew that generations of uncontrolled government expansion had taken its toll on personal freedom. He redefined a national dialogue that seemed incapable of recognizing bloated government as part of the problem rather than the solution. In the face of seemingly incurable inflation, he broke with his predecessors and supported the Federal Reserve’s new tight money policies, weathering short-term pain for the sake of the nation’s long-term economic health. He pushed sweeping tax cuts and trade policies that helped lay the foundation for years of prosperity. In his first presidential campaign, Bill Clinton exploited a short-lived recession that he blamed on “twelve years of Reagan/Bush.” That claim does not withstand scholarly scrutiny today.

As with most great leaders, his view of the task before him was of the long term. When he addressed the Republican national convention in 1976, he spoke of a letter he was asked to put into a time capsule to be opened in 100 years. He thought he would write of the challenge posed by “a world in which the great powers have poised and aimed at each other horrible missiles of destruction, nuclear weapons that can in a matter of minutes arrive at each other’s country and destroy, virtually, the civilized world we live in.

And suddenly it dawned on me, those who would read this letter a hundred years from now will know whether those missiles were fired. They will know whether we met our challenge.

Whether they have the freedoms that we have known up until now will depend on what we do here.”

It would not take 100 years to know that thanks in large part to his leadership, freedom had won.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

“Tempted to Leave This Blank” read this column for a lighthearted moment or a good, much needed, laugh. I conferred with my editor, who confirmed that others were also writing about 9-11 and encouraged me I go with my gut. My instinct was to take the week off from humor, simply because I did not have the chutzpah to trivialize the past 10 years by writing something irrelevant, almost pretending it did not happen. Leaving these column inches completely blank, I decided, would have even been better, more appropriate and respectful, than writing about something else.

In the days before Irene hit our area, preparations became more frenzied than precautionary. Many of us got carried away, though there is wisdom in “better safe than sorry.” Upon hearing the extent of our purchases, a friend asked me if I knew why we were all over-preparing, though I had not even considered the “why” behind the madness. “Because you can,” he

CONTINUED FROM P. A8 we gathered in the lunchroom, how school was cancelled the next day. As we get further away from the actual day, however, the students who walk into my room no longer have their own stories as to where they were when they heard. The anecdotes they share are not theirs -- they belong to their parents or an older sibling. It is not a criticism, but rather a reality, and as I walk into my classroom this Monday, I will be charged with an even greater responsibility than in previous years – memorializing a day for people who do not remember it at all.

People often ask me how long it takes me to write this column.

I respond that it depends on the week and that is the truth, although no submission since the start of The Standard has taken as long as this one to complete. I was conflicted as to how to handle this week’s entry in light of the anniversary, convinced many

explained. “How many historical disasters would have been completely different had people been given a three day warning that this was going to happen – and they needed to be ready?” He was right. In the case of 9-11, however, preparedness would not have been about buying canned goods or filling bathtubs with water. It would simply have been about staying home.

I have nothing profound to say, no words of wisdom to share, that have not already been said by numerous other people.

I simply hope that my reflections and honesty respectfully honor those who lost their lives, the families who still grieve and the first responders who risked everything when they heard the call. And this Sunday, as I reflect on my last ten years, I will count every blessing, hug each of my children and thank G-d for my days on this earth. That, too, is a testament to their memories and may their memories be blessed.

CONTINUED FROM P. A9

CONTINUED FROM P. A9 to pay you for any damage that is repaired before inspection.

An adjuster may be sent by your insurance company to examine the damage and give you an estimate of the cost of repairs or replacement. You may also get an estimate from your own contractor to compare with the insurance company’s estimate. I suggest you obtain at least two to three estimates so that you know if the figures you are given are within reason.

If you need assistance, your agent, broker or insurance company sales representative should help you fill out the claim form and help gather the materials you need to substantiate your loss.

In the event you are not in a position to negotiate a settlement with your company, you may want to consult an attorney or hire a licensed public adjuster

F R E E

to act on your behalf with your insurance company. Public adjusters are licensed by the Insurance Department. They represent you, not the insurance company. They will help you in taking inventory of your loss, securing your home from vandalism, contacting your insurance company, advising you on the extent of your coverage and help you secure the services needed to repair or rebuild your home.

They will negotiate on your behalf with the adjuster from the insurance company.

By law, a public adjuster may not charge a fee higher than 12.5% of the recovery amount and must obtain a signed compensation agreement from you in which the amount of compensation is clearly stated. Such agreement may be cancelled up to midnight of the third business day after the date on which you have signed the compensation agreement. In addition,

E V E R Y

public adjusters may not solicit your business between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 a.m.

If an agreement cannot be reached between you and your insurance company, your policy provides for an appraisal process. Every homeowner, tenant, cooperative apartment and condominium policy issued in New York contains a provision for you and your company to select a competent and disinterested appraiser. The two appraisers, in turn, select an umpire. Each appraiser must evaluate the loss and determine the value of each item. Any disagreements between the appraisers regarding the value of any items are submitted to, and settled by the umpire. The policyholder and the insurance company pay the costs of this process.

Remember to take pictures and document everything.

FIRST PERSON

Local Coast Guard Protecting Our Shoreline cur, Lathrop explained that depending on the severity, their station has to evacuate as well.

“We’ll put the smaller boats, which go up to 40 plus knots per hour, into the boathouse to protect them for use in a emergency.

Our 47-foot boat would be transferred to station New York and if they evacuate, about six personnel would go to West Point.

About ten personnel would be bunkered down here at the station. If a hurricane increased to a higher category, we’d evacuate like anyone else. We’re not protected because we’re right next

ost people don’t view the U.S. Coast Guard on a local level, but rather as an ambiguous branch of the nation’s armed forces. However, nearby lies The U.S. Coast Guard Station Jones Beach with dozens of personnel patrolling the waters.

The main areas that Station Jones Beach patrols are the Ambrose Channel, East Rockaway Inlet and Reynolds Channel. Officer in Charge, Terry W. Lathrop said, that besides The Five Towns, they also cover surrounding areas. “We go from East Rockaway to Gilgo Beach and everything to the north of the beach.”

Lathrop added that a lot of local residents are unaware of them. “ A lot of people don’t know that there’s a Coast Guard and what the Coast Guard does, let alone that we’re here in the Jones Beach State Park. Besides search

to the water. We’d board up the windows and evacuate. Either way we would find the best resource to assist during emergency, that’s usually aviation. “ At the station, they have 31 personnel on active duty and 21 on reserve. They also work with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which has around 500 volunteers. The auxiliary patrols the waters and also assists with search and rescue.

There have been no fatalities this year, but Lathrop advised that in case of an emergency, boaters should have a radio on board. “Sometimes third parties

will see a boater in help and call in,” Lathrop said of those who don’t have one on board. Dialing 9-1-1 on a cell phone can work too, but using channel 16 on a VHF boat marine radio is the quickest and most direct way.

Radios can usually be purchased at marine store and must have a 156.8 frequency.

Lathrop noted that it’s essential to make sure there’s a designated operator on board. He added, “It’s against the law to drink and drive on a boat, just like it is on the road. Have a good time, but be responsible.”

Terry Lathrop outside of Station Jones Beach and rescue, we also do environmental protection; we do marine mammal protection, and navigation among others.

The average weekend traffic on the water is about a few hundred boats, which amounts to about 500 to 600 people, Lathrop explained. They’ve had about 95 distress calls this year, which consist of boats taking in water or capsizing canoes or kayaks.

On a typical day, they conduct random inspections for life jackets, flares, fire extinguishers, and sound producing devices such as a whistle or a horn. They also patrol for safe speeds, any kind of distressed signals, and check for designated operators when alcohol is involved.

Lathrop noted that they’ve had three BUI’s (Boating Under the Influence), this year, which were all in the summer.

“Boat safely, boat sober and boat responsibly,” Lathrop ad-

vised.

During the winter, boater traffic declines, but they still patrol the waters and are available for emergencies. Lathrop said that the station focuses on a lot of mandated training classes during the winter.

In times of weather emergencies, Lathrop said that they work together with other agencies such as the Nassau County Police Department’s Marine Bureau, Hempstead Bay Constable and Oyster Bay Constable.
