Beach Clubs Gearing-up for New Season

By Amanda Mayo Standard Staff Reporter

With Memorial Day approaching fast, Five Towns residents will be preparing for fun-in-thesun summer activities down by the beach side. The clubs in Atlantic Beach are set to open on Memorial Day weekend, starting on Saturday, May 26. Like every year, beach club staff have been running around working on necessary repairs to make sure the clubs are ready for the season.

There are 11 beach clubs in Atlantic Beach. Westbury Beach Club is now closed due to damage from Hurricane Irene, and other clubs that got hit by the storm had to work even harder this year to rebuild and clean up before the Summer 2012 season.

CONTINUED FROM P. A1 “All the clubs got hit by the hurricane, so we had a lot of repairs to do,” Mark Raab, director of New Plaza Beach Club said.

“We had to rebuild our deck and all that. We do a lot to try to make this place look better every year and all the upkeep that’s necessary.”

Over at Catalina Beach Club, owner Sandy Wein said her staff was also doing extra work to make up for damage caused by Hurricane Irene. The hurricane hit last August while beach club season was still on. “We lost the usage of several cabanas, about 11, but we were able to move those people,” she said, adding that other members were kind enough to share cabanas for the rest of the season.

Wein said that her staff had to put the electric back into the destroyed cabanas and had to redo the roofs. “We were able to get that done late fall and early winter,” she said, adding that the warm winter this year helped out a lot in terms of repairs that needed to be done before beach club season started back up.

Raab said he has already hired his full staff for the summer, and all that is left is to put finishing touches on the club. “I might be filling a position here or there, but mostly we’re staffed by this time. We try and bring back as many people from last year as possible,” he said.

School Budgets Pass

by Wide Margins CONTINUED FROM P. A1 cumbent member, Stephen B. Witt. The three elected ran together against independent candidate Fred Usherson. Gates garnered the most votes from the district with 1605, followed

by Witt with 1501 and Altus at 1325. Usherson received 824 votes.

Incumbent board members Marcy Goldberg and Jill Stern did not seek reelection.

Gates, now a new board member, said she was relieved when the budget was announced to have passed.

“I think the budget was responsible and in the years coming, I know, it’ll be harder and harder with the tax caps to educate our children,” she said. “I believe there has been enough long term planning that we’ll be in good shape. Hopefully we can continue to be thoughtful to the taxpayers and educate our students the best we can.”

As far as being elected to the board, she added that was “certainly grateful to the community for putting their confidence in me.”

“I’m very happy the budget passed,” said Altus. “I’m happy Melissa Gates and Stephen Witt were elected and reelected to the board. I hope that Fred Usherson continues to be an advocate for children in the district.

I’m looking to being a member of the board and serving the district.” “ I was very happy [about the budget] but I never see it as win for myself,” said Witt.

“It’s a win for the students. It’s all about our kids. If we pass a good budget, it means we don’t have to reduce the services other districts do. By being reelected, I can help serve the district

again.”

Wit said he also wanted to thank the students who helped with his campaign for reelection, including those who helped with his social networking outreach on Facebook.

The Lawrence School District, known as District 15, passed its proposed budget of $93,155,150, which did not increase from last year’s budget at all. The budget passed by a 587-255 margin. In order to offset less money being used from the district’s fund balance and surplus, the tax levy was increased by the maximum allowed two percent, topping out at $80.5 million of the coming year’s budget. Residents also approved $2.7 million to be appropriated for use at the Peninsula Public Library by a 582-220 vote.

Two incumbent members of the Lawrence Board of Education – Abel Feldhamer and Uri Kaufman – ran unopposed in the district’s election. Feldhamer totaled 524 votes and Kaufman brought in 522. The district also elected a member to the Peninsula Library Board of Trustees, incumbent Sarah Yastrab who was also unopposed, with 532 votes.

“It’s very gratifying and we were pleased to see so many people came out in support of the budget,” said Feldhamer. Although only about half as many voters came out to the Lawrence elections as the Hewlett-Woodmere election, Feldhamer said the board was not surprised by a lower number of voters than usual.

“It was an expected low turnout since there was no opposition,” he said. “Less opposition, less publicity – but for that, the turnout was not bad at all.

The unveiling of the Woodmere Middle School pond coincided with the school’s sixth grade environmental fair on Wednesday where students showed off their hard work through hands-on scientific research projects.

T

he Hewlett High School boys varsity lacrosse team made an early exit from the playoffs after falling to Carey High School of Franklin Square, 9-7, in a heartbreaker for the Bulldogs’ home crowd.

“We did not play the game that we were capable of in the first half,” said Hewlett Head Coach Chris Passuello. “I liked our kids intensity though, they never quit and they are a great group of guys.”

The Carey Hawks, ranked number 10, jumped on the board quickly, scoring their first three goals during the first quarter before the Bulldogs, ranked number seven, could get on the board. Carey goalie Nick Fasano blocked almost everything the Bulldogs could muster at him through the opening 10 minutes, notching three saves as his defense kept Hewlett from getting close.

With a little less than two minutes to go in the first, Hewlett’s Zack Richman netted a goal to put Hewlett down 3-1 at the end of the quarter.

“He’s great and he’ll be coming back,” said Passuello of Richman, who ended up leading the team with four goals. “He’s a great competitor and very intense.”

The two teams were kept quiet through most of the second quarter. Hewlett’s defense shut down the Carey offense for almost 10 minutes, keeping many balls from reaching backup goalie Justin Isaacs, but the Hawks finally broke through at 2:06 with their fourth goal of the game. No less than 15 seconds later though, Hewlett came through with another goal, this time from Sam

time, as the Bulldogs seemed to be turning the tide and breaking through the tough defense.

Opening the fourth quarter, things seemed to be going the Bulldogs’ way – 55 seconds in, Kevin Fuchs launched a shot into the back of the Carey net to close Hewlett within 6-5. Carey and Hewlett traded goals to make it 8-6 a few minutes later and the two teams locked up for the final stretch.

Hewlett’s Rich-

man lobbed another goal into the Carey net, his fourth of the day, to make it 8-7 Carey with two-and-a-half minutes left, but a goal by Carey gave them a 9-7 lead they would not surrender.

While the Bulldogs played their hardest on the field, their coach felt a few calls were missed by the referees, including a couple of high sticks and hits that were easily seen by the benches.

“I thought the refereeing was horrendous,” said Coach Passuello. Carey ended up with many calls against Hewlett throughout the game while Hewlett only had a couple calls in their favor, much to the chagrin of both the bench and home crowd. “Just absolutely horrendous.”

Hewlett ends the season with a 10-6 record overall and were 5-3 in the conference during the regular season.

“It’s a disappointing loss, but that’s the way it goes,” said Passuello. “We’ll say goodbye to a great bunch of seniors – a really great bunch of kids. Sometimes, though, it just doesn’t go your way.”

Hewlett’s Sam Martorella goes in for the goal. He scored once during the 9-7 loss.

Martorella and left Hewlett trailing 4-2.

Carey came back strong during the second half, scoring two goals in the first six minutes of the third quarter for a 6-2 lead.

The Bulldogs, though, did not

go without a fight. Richman and Michael Gray tossed two goals in past Carey’s Fasano within 45 seconds of each other and left Hewlett trailing 6-4. Fasano stopped three more charges by Hewlett during the remaining

By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

A

fter blasting their final opponent of the regular season by scoring over 30 runs, the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes varsity softball team made the playoffs and had hopes of making a late run.

Those hopes fell short, though, as number 16 ranked Lawrence fell to number one ranked Island Trees of Levittown 15-0 in a mercy-rule shortened game on Saturday.

“We knew going in it would a tough matchup for us,” said Lawrence Head Coach Matt Wynn. “You always have a shot though and that’s why you have to play the game.”

Defense played a key role in the ball game as Lawrence ace Emily DiNardi took the mound against a tough Island Trees team. After walking the leadoff hitter in the first and giving up a single, then a double dropped in between the right and center fielders after neither called the other off. A batter later and another ball was sent flying into right field, but was fly ball was over run as it flew over the outfielder’s head and quickly rolled into the deep outfield, allowing Island Trees’ Nicole Pellegrino to come around for a home run.

“We gave them a lot of extra outs,” said Wynn. “Six extra outs and that added up to nine runs in the first inning alone. Once you get behind by that many, it’s tough to come back, but they continued to fight like they did all season.”

He added: “I guess it is what is, right now.”

Several more balls hit into the outfield made life difficult for the Golden Tornadoes as Is-

land Trees batted around in the first, scoring nine runs, most of them unearned for Lawrence’s DiNardi. Island Trees would score five more during the second inning and added one more in the fourth before the game was called.

“Getting a freshman pitcher a lot of playoff experience is not something a lot of coaches have the luxury of doing,” said Wynn.

“She pitched great like she did all year. We just have to cut the fielding mistakes because good pitching and good defense is championship softball. Next year, we’ll focus on that and get better.”

Lawrence could not get anything started during their atbats either. Island Trees’ starting pitcher Alannah Basile dominated the lineup with a blaz-

ing fastball and struck out six through her three innings of work. Lawrence faired no better against relief pitcher Ashley Melendez, throwing even faster than Basile, as she mowed down five of the six hitters she faced. On the day, Lawrence managed only one hit off of Island Trees’ pitchers.

The loss eliminates Lawrence from the playoffs this season, although Coach Wynn saw the game as more of an opportunity to give his younger players the playoff experience they needed to go further in 2013.

“It was a lot of good experience for the underclassmen,” said Wynn. “Maybe we’ll get in the second round or further next year. We’re only going to lose four [senior] girls, so we have a lot coming back.”

Lady Bulldogs Fall to Manhasset Indians in Second Round, 21-5

By Scott P. Moore Standard Staff Reporter

T

he Hewlett Bulldogs girls varsity lacrosse team fought hard, but was over-matched by an endless offensive onslaught and tight defense by the Manhasset Indians, losing 21-5 Thursday afternoon in Manhasset.

“We came out a little nervous,” said Hewlett Head Coach Patrick Gromley. “That forced some errors and, unfortunately, they cap-

italized on every single one. But it’s the first time we made it to the second round as a program, so I can understand the nerves.”

The Bulldogs, ranked seven heading into the playoffs, quickly trailed 4-1 in the opening minutes of the game to Manhasset, ranked second in the playoffs.

A sudden outburst near the ten minute mark had the Indians scoring three goals in nearly a minute. Up 9-1, Hewlett’s Sam DiSalvo scored a quick goal past the Indians’ goalie and seemingly putting her team back in the game. The Bulldogs won possession on the face lift, but lost the ball to the Indians defense. The lost ball quickly led to a goal for Manhasset. The Indians would add two more before the half ended, leaving the Bulldogs trailing 12-2.

“Once they got up big, it snow-

balled,” said Gromley. “I think if we controlled the ball more like we planned, they wouldn’t have had as many chances. We pressed a little too much.”

The Indians led off the opening minute of the second half with another goal, but senior Jenni Rogoff netted a goal a few minutes later bringing the Bulldogs closer at 13-3. The Indians would have none of it though and fired two goals 30 seconds apart from each other following Hewlett’s. Manhasset would go on to add five more in a row to push their lead to an insurmountable 20-3.

Lady Bulldogs Fall to Manhasset Indians in Second Round 21-5 CONTINUED FROM P. A6 “We have the talent,” said Gromley, who said he was really proud of the team. “We’re young and we’ll get better. We’re going to get there one day.”

The Bulldogs, after a timeout, came out with some fire with only five minutes left in the game. Sam DiSavlo fired in a second goal and Rogoff followed hers up shortly after. A would-

be third goal was stopped by the Indians’ goalie. The eventual would-be goal for Hewlett turned into the final goal for Manhasset, capping their day with a 21-5 win.

“Rogoff had a good game and settled in,” said Gromley, then added with a bit of a grin.

“DiSalvo had her usual game out there.”

Hewlett won for the first time in the playoffs in their five year

history on Monday against Calhoun, ranked number ten, 1814. This marked the first time the Hewlett girls’ lacrosse team has made the second round of the Nassau County playoffs and earned one victory in the postseason.

“A great season ends on a little bit of a down note,” said Gromley. “It’s something we can build on with a good core... we’ll learn from this one.”

Beach Clubs Gearing-up for New Season CONTINUED FROM P. A2 Plaza Beach Club will be having a more engaging nightlife at its restaurant, which is open to the public Thursday through Monday for dinner. Raab said that live entertainment will be brought in, like musical acts, and there will be a big party for the 4th of July.

Wein said her staff is very busy over at Catalina, but she has no doubt that everything will be completed on time. Right now, her staff is just putting the finishing touches on painting cabanas, finishing the cafeteria floor and putting all the proper furniture back in their respective homes. “We were very fortunate this year because we basically didn’t have a winter,” she said. “A lot of our major projects that we were doing went into the winter months because it was warm enough for people to work.”

All of the beach clubs in Atlantic Beach are complete with pools, cabanas, lockers, restaurants, day care and more. If you are looking to stay in the Five Towns, the pool at North Woodmere Park will open on June 25 and remain open until Labor Day and the pool at Hewlett Point Park will open on June 18.

The beach at Hewlett Point Park will open on Saturday, June 16

and it will stay open until Labor Day. The beach at Long Beach will be open on the weekends from May 26 through June 17 and daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting June 23 through September 3.

The Last Dance: Donna Summer 1948-2012

A

couple on months ago, the following advice was found inscribed inside a fortune cookie, “whatever you want to do, do it. There are only so many tomorrows.” For Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco, Thursday was the last dance as she unfortunately passed from this earth far too young, at just 63, apparently of lung cancer.

Summer set the worlds of dance and pop ablaze in the 70s and 80s – at one time having three consecutive LPs hit number one and she was the first female pop artist with four number one singles in a 13 month period.

The early to mid 70s saw the birth of disco, which has since morphed into several categories of dance music – dance dominates the Top 40 even today. We may take that for granted now, but in the mid 70s we lived in a Rock and Roll world. Disco wedged its way in through the cracks of wall to wall rock and the fading embers of Motown and soul. The country was in transition from the Nixon-Ford/Watergate/Vietnam years to the hyper-inflationary era of Jimmy Carter “malaise,” and disco seemed like a beacon of light through the endless miasma of the 70s.

Summer was second only to Madonna in dance hits and output – scoring 19 number one dance hits and was one of the two “divas” that defined the era – paving the way for the likes of Whitney Houston (who also tragically died this year) and Mariah Carey. Summer’s songs peppered the soundtracks of iconic films of the time such as Flashdance and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. She was honored with five Grammy awards and another 12 nominations.

She broke on the scene with “Love to Love You Baby” in 1975, the long version of which practically invented the single-song LP. Other big hits included “I Feel Love,” “Last Dance,” her dance cover of “MacArthur Park” “Heaven Knows,” “Hot Stuff,” “Bad Girls,” “No More Tears (Enough is Enough),” “On the Radio,” “She Works Hard for the Money” and even “Unconditional Love” (with Musical Youth). This is just a smattering of her output over a fecund and prolific 35 year career.

Her brightest lights in the firmament were the eight years between 1975 and 1982 after which her time and prime seemed to be usurped by The Material Girl but regardless of hit production, her songs dominated the dance floors from discos to bar mitzvahs well into the new millennium and her tracks were all “on the radio” without interruption.

It’s hard to imagine that Summer was a mother of three and a grandmother of four as the image of her by most people is as the hot young disco diva surrounded by the swirl of endless particles of light reflected and refracted off that whirling ball suspended from the ceiling.

For people now in their 50s, Summer was a meme of onetime youth – one which is slipping inexorably away as we now find ourselves attending not our friends’ weddings but rather, those of their children. The march of time waits for and spares no one. Money, power and fame are no guarantors of a long life. Just ask Steve Jobs, Davey Jones or the aforementioned Whitney Houston. Waistlines expand, hair recedes, knees ache a bit and dancing is now confined to private moments in one’s bedroom or den, just as it was when we were teenagers.

Donna Summer worked hard for the money and overall she was treated right. But heaven knows it’s not the way it should be – she should have lived a much longer life but no one can say that she frittered away or squandered her time here. All she asked “is that you dance with me,” and dance we did. Donna Summer, the voice of an era, gone at 63.

T

Election Hangover

oo much of anything can be bad for you. Eat too much candy, you’ll get cavities. Too much alcohol -- cirrhosis of the liver, too much work – burnout; too much sun, skin cancer. Life is best lived in moderation.

Barry Goldwater famously said in 1964 that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice,” we’re sure that if Mr. Goldwater knew about the proliferation of elections here in New York in 2012, he would have recanted those words.

Let’s see, in the past 12 months we had a special election/referendum on the Nassau Coliseum initiative, the usual November balloting, last month presidential primaries, this past week we had School Board elections, on June 19th there will be village elections in most of our region’s incorporated villages. On June 26th there will be primary elections for Congressional races. On September 11th there will be primary elections for local races and then on November 6th, the national elections for President and other offices high, middle and low.

The turnout in District 15 was pathetically small this week, well under 1,000 bothering to vote. This is indicative of the fact that too much democracy is being asked even of our most passionate and civic-minded residents. Is it too much to ask the powers that be to aggregate all of the matters needing to be decided by the people onto one simple one-time ballot? More importantly, millions of dollars of scarce taxpayer money are being squandered – wasted actually on this unnecessary plethora of plebiscites. Too many elections actually depress turnout and discourage those running for office – it’s really anti-democratic by being hyper-democratic as too few people end-up deciding way too much for too many who can’t be bothered. Time to compress all these elections to save taxpayer time, money and effort.

COMMON SENSE

WHAT WE’RE SEEING ARE SMOKE AND MIRRORS

By David M. Freedman

I

am frustrated watching all of the noise over President Obama’s embracing of Gay marriage.

In the first hours after the announcement, the President was able to raise $15 million. It is a testament to our system of values that this issue should be such a money generator for a candidate. As issues go, this is simply a tempest in the teapot. The fact that government is in the marriage business at all defies all logic. Marriage is a religious arrangement. Government should not be marrying anyone.

The reality should be that all domestic partnerships albeit heterosexual or homosexual that are to be effected by lawful property and domestic rights should be a civil contract between individuals. The so called Marriage License should be a Domestic Partnership License. If two people want to cohabitate within the confines of this Domestic Partnership and want next of kin rights, let them!

If those parties want to “marry,” let them go to their Rabbi, Minister, Priest, Imam and get married and live under the religious laws that they abide by. This makes the whole issue of marriage moot and everybody gets the protections and authorities that a next of kin requires to support each other, make medical decisions, adopt children, etc.

The fact that this whole issue is still on the front burner tells me that we as a nation are more interested in the distractions and not the meat on the table.

Our reality is that even though the economy is

David M. Freedman has been a resident of Cedarhurst for 12 years. He is a business owner in the Five Towns and is the Past President of the Five Towns Democratic Club. He is a published author of a novel “A Butterfly on the Gowanus Expressway” and he maintains a political blog called Federal Follies located on the web at http:// thefederalfollies.blogspot.com. He is married with two children and is active in the community both politically and socially.

improving, it is doing so at a very slow pace and looks to not being able to sustain the growth. J.P. Morgan-Chase has proven to us that once again, the banks in this country cannot be trusted and should not be allowed to trade on the open market with our deposit money. The government we elected must get control of this. The double talk that came out of Jamie Dimon, the Chairman of J.P. Morgan-Chase was unforgivable. The mea culpa was baloney and had the appearance of winking to his friends as he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Some heads rolled at Chase, but the environment which allowed these horrific trades comes from the top and Mr. Dimon’s attitude is directly reflected by this piece of financial incompetence.

When combined with the general slowness of the economy, this causes everyday people like me to be very concerned about the economic future.

And more concerned, because it is the economy that should be driving this political campaign.

We can only hope that as the election gets closer that Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney start to talk about real issues. I recently had to travel on business. I have learned to accept the restrictions of going through security as a fact of travel. But most of what we see at the airport is smoke and mirrors.

We need a system which is like the Israelis. We see profiling as discriminatory, but the reality is that it works. Police use it because it works. Every time I read about lapses in security such as the fact that a supervisor of security at Newark Airport has been using a false identity for over twenty years, my head just wants to spin. It makes me doubt the whole security apparatus we use and tells me that the emphasis is on show and not on substance.

We also need real action on Iran. They are building up to become a nuclear nation. This cannot be allowed to happen. Playing chicken with Iran is meaningless, because, they feel they can wait us out. We must engage them and quickly.

Waiting for Israel to make the first move is stupid. We know Israel will act eventually, but why wait? We are the most powerful country in the world, with the ability to project that power. Let’s get on with it and make this world and our nation safer now.

t the start of my weekly radio show, I make mention of national holidays taking place that day. You would be surprised to hear about some of the organizations that have applied for and been granted national days of celebration.

A few weeks ago, it was National Paranormal Day. I suggested that listeners go hunt ghosts, if they could find one.

Another time it was National Hug an Australian Day. Limited on the number of Australians I know, I contacted a close friend of mine overseas whose husband is from Perth. I told her she needed to go hug her husband. She told me I’d better give her a really good reason why.

Sometimes I include those holidays occurring the day after as well if they are that interesting. For example, while last Thursday was National Lupus Day, I made sure to mention on the air that the next day was National Eat Whatever You Want Day. In the habit of celebrating that to the fullest even when it is not sanctioned, I was happy to be granted the official green light. Of course, however, I made sure to remind listeners that Mother’s Day was on Sunday, as it is one of my favorite days of the year.

While my friend refuses to celebrate any day orchestrated or divined by card companies, I like the sentiment.

Each year I look forward to the gifts my children make in school. While I openly joke that Mother’s Day is one day of the year while Father’s Day are the other 364, I planned to milk this one to the fullest.

The same way I am in charge of buying all the Father’s Day cards for my family, my husband is responsible for those needed for Mother’s Day. We take special pride in trying to match the appropriate card with the child. When my son’s card included a button I was supposed to wear all day that read, “Please put me in timeout,” I laughed. I decided not to wear it though – am saving it for a rainy day. It was the card he made by himself in school that cracked me up.

It said, “You are the best mom I’ve ever had.” That’s good, I thought. In comparison to all of the other mothers he has had in his life, of which there have been none, I rank the highest.

Despite enjoying all of the celebrations and time with family, it was still a Sunday and errands needed to be run.

Always practical, I had returns to make at the mall and I was not going to lose the chance to accomplish. Three kids in tow and my bag of returns in the trunk, we headed to the mall despite what we expected to be a crazy Mother’s Day crowd.

With many more parking spaces available than I had expected, we were pleasantly surprised and hopeful that the stores would not be as busy as anticipated. Unfortu-

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

MAKING SENSE

Only Obama is Better Off ARE THE FIVE TOWNS THE “NEW” HOLLYWOOD?” T

By Michael Reagan

Dateline: Wednesday May 16, 2012; Woodmere, NY: Hot news straight off the presses. Hollywood comes to The Five Towns and, as your intrepid reporter, and guide to all things Hip and Cool – The Legendary Danny O’Doul -- I bring you all the latest info, collected from my vast network of in-depth sources and thousands of contacts inside the World of Entertainment. So, what had the Police working overtime today and high-school kids going gaga on Forest Avenue, in Woodmere?

Well, as hard as it is to believe -- it was an on-location movie shoot for a new “big budget” Hollywood blockbuster! Yes, and what is even more fascinating, is the project they were filming: Exotic Tales of The Green Shtreimel -- an exciting new detective mystery movie based on the upcoming book by, none other than your intrepid reporter, me, The Legendary Danny O’Doul. Under the code-name Blood Ties – my adrenalin-fueled thrill-a-minute screenplay about the adventures of The Green Shtreimel and his right-hand man, The Black Mink, stars James Caan, Clive Owen and Mila Kunis.

Of course, very few of the

many Five Towns’ teens and housewives who lined Forest Avenue had any idea that the dialogue and actions being filmed there were actually conceived and written in the nearby exclusive “Wemphis” enclave of Woodmere, just a few short blocks from today’s movie shoot. The most perceptive among today’s audience may have been aware that the vintage cars lining the street were brought in especially for the filming and they included the “The Green Mercury” – ( a 1970 Mercury Cougar convertible in “British-Racing” green with a beige soft top -also known as the “Green Shtreimel Mobile”). Some of you may have also noticed me sitting on a green wood-frame director’s chair with “The Legendary” emblazoned in gold on the back. You may have missed seeing me because I was a bit incognito -- wearing my oversized gradient-tint sunglasses, tan safari jacket, ascot and khaki pith helmet. If I may say so myself, it was really gratifying having all these mega “A–List” stars asking me for insight into the characters and looking to me for my approval of their performances. Don’t worry, I was

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul inviting all my dear Readers to the “After-Party” at “Traditions” Deli immediately following the January 2013 Premier of Exotic Tales of The Green Shtreimel, at the Green Acres Murderplex!

very kind and generous in my critiques because I did not forget that, after all, these thespians were honored guests in our town!

You can bet your ticket to the premier that The Five Towns have never looked as good as they do in this upcoming mega-hit of 2013 -- Exotic Tales of The Green Shtreimel! Tonight, the stars and I, along with the director, Guillaume Canet, will be dining at The Five Towns’ newest hotspot “Sushi Tokyo” on The Avenue in Lawrence. I am certain that this hip and exciting Kosher sushi restaurant oozing the vibe of an ultra-cool lounge in Tribeca, or, maybe, Sunset Boulevard, will be the perfect setting for these Hollywood cats to experience all the charm, style and sophistication that is Central Avenue.

Perhaps for next week’s issue I will include some candid paparazzi shots of me and my Hollywood buddies partying on The Avenue. I think that James Caan may drag me down the block to the Judaica Sephorim Store next to Amazing Savings to buy a tallis (prayer shawl) with the name “Sonny” embroidered on the collar. Mila Kunis has also mentioned she may be in the market for silver candlesticks for her Shabbat candles. And, I guess I, myself, could use a new pair of 18” by 18” zircon-encrusted tzizit! After all, The Legendary Danny O’Doul has just “gone Hollywood!”

SOAPBOX

No Clear Choice

By Joel Moskowitz

T

his past week’s announcement that JP Morgan-Chase lost $2 billion in a faulty hedging strategy surprised no one. As is typical when this happens, an executive at the world’s largest bank fell on her sword and resigned and then the lobbyists and bank mouthpieces went to work explaining how this loss was not prevented by increased financial regulation, thus we should not use this incident to call for more regulation but for less.

Alternatively, President Obama’s declaration that he now supports gay marriage, an evolving position, while welcome by his base is seen as a desperate, transparent move to reenergize those who so enthusiastically supported him in 2008 but whom for the most part he has disappointed since.

After three and a half years of trying to govern like Bill Clinton, Obama finally figured out he needs be the guy he sold us on in the last election.

Both Republicans and Democrats have done an equally stellar job at turning off everyone. No one really believes that the political class is interested in anything else but holding onto their positions of power.

Republicans will have you believe that letting the Bush tax cuts, one of the largest transferences of wealth in history -- expire, is a tax increase. The Democrats who run the Senate will have you think that they have an alternative to the Republican proposed budget, but they have yet to put one forward. In the meantime, we all know they lie and that for most of us things have not gotten better and it is 100 percent thanks to the politicians in Washington.

Obama supporters feel let down, not one indictment by the Justice Department for the massive fraud perpetrated by the banks in the lead up to the financial crisis. Republican voters, unenthusiastic about their presidential candidate, have let the Tea baggers take over the

rest of the party perhaps ending their dream of winning back the Senate and perhaps even risking the majority they have in the house.

My sense is that a chastened Obama, pushed to the left in his reelection quest, will appeal more to the 99 percent than Romney. Romney will wink his eyes at moderates to remind them that he was, after all, Governor of Massachusetts, not Texas, but most feel that he has been hogtied by an evermore extreme rightwing party. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the upcoming election is how uninterested most people are in it. This apathy is borne out by the cynicism generated by the gridlock in the nation’s capital, a traffic jam not likely to be untangled by the next election, so why bother?

Either way it goes it seems for now to be a close race. I hope the winner takes a page from George W. Bush, who despite losing the popular vote in 2000, governed in his first term as if he received a Reagan like mandate. After all, to the winner go the spoils, right? This time around we will be less interested in ideology and more in who can get us out of this mess, or if we can get out of it at all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. A8 time for you to think not only of private school children but the many children of various denominations and the needs for learning skills.

The financial mistakes that the Lawrence District has made in the past are behind us and you have cut as much as you can at the cost of the public school system.

he only person I know who is better off today than he was four years ago is President Obama.

He’s making more money, living in a bigger house and playing more golf. And when his wife goes on a shopping spree with her girlfriends, it’s to Spain on the taxpayer’s dime.

If you asked President Obama if he’s better off today, he’d say, “Hell, yeah! And we don’t want it to stop!”

Meanwhile, as the president skates through the Great Recession, his failure to get the economy back on track has turned a country known for its optimism and belief in a better future into a nation of pessimists.

According to a recent opinion poll by Scott Rasmussen’s company, 63 percent of voters -- liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans -- do not think today’s children will be better off than their parents.

That’s unbelievable. But what’s even more discouraging is that only 16 percent -- 1 in 6 – do think the next generation will be better off.

The percentage believing the

next generation will live better than their parents is a record low. As Scott Rasmussen said, people think something is going terribly wrong in America.

They’re not sure what it is, he said, but they sure don’t like it.

I know what’s gone wrong with America -- we’ve had four years of President Obama’s bad ideas and hot air. That’s why the 1,000 voters Rasmussen polled see a gloomy future everywhere they look -- the economy, stocks, housing, you name it.

And remember the American Dream? Forget it. Only 32 percent think it’s still possible for “just about anyone in America to work hard and get rich.”

About the only silver lining to be found in the Rasmussen poll is that 53 percent think it’s still possible for anyone in America to work themselves out of poverty.

That’s a good thing to believe in, because by the time the Obama administration and his wrecking crew finish turning America into Greece, 53 percent of the country is going to be poor.

This week the Obama reelection campaign released an ad called “We’re Coming Back.” It’s

a blatant rip-off of Ronald Reagan’s 1984 “Morning in America” ad that pointed out how much stronger, prouder and better America had become during my father’s first four years.

The Obama ad claims that we’re on the road to recovery and says the president is working hard to finish the job he started. It’s not supposed to be funny.

But there’s one serious problem with the Obama ad -- after four years of his reign of errors things are not getting better. And he has no new ideas, just the same bad Big Government ones he’s been pushing -- more taxes, more spending and more regulation.

When “Morning in America” ran in 1984, inflation and interest rates were half what they had been in 1980 and were going down. There were no more lines at the gas pumps and no more gloomy talk from the Oval Office about a national “malaise.”

Ronald Reagan turned the country around the right way.

He lowered taxes, cut regulations and got the government off the back of businesses and out of the way of the American people.

After four years of my father’s administration, Americans could see real signs of improvement and a hopeful future for the country. That’s why RR was re-hired. After four years of President Obama, our only hope is that in November he is fired.

On August 1st, Nassau residents will head to the polls to vote on a $400 million bond issue that would allow for the construction of a new sports arena at the current location of the Nassau Coliseum, this would be the new home for the New York Islanders. However, the general consensus is that the average Five Towner hasn’t even heard of the plan on the special election.

The plan would keep the team in the county through 2045 under the deal, as well as provide a new venue for concerts and other events. The bond also calls for the construction of a baseball stadium that would be home to an Atlantic League of Professional Baseball team.

Nassau County’s Office of Legislative Budgeting says the plan will cost the average Nassau County homeowner on a property worth $400,000, about $58 per year, however County Executive Ed Mangano has projected that the plan will cost tax payers an average

PENINSULA HOSPITAL MAY SOON CLOSE ITS DOORS

Peninsula Hospital Center in Far Rockaway is in a “deep financial crisis,” and may soon have to close if no solution is reached.

No Solutions in Sight for Plane Noise TEXT AND PHOTOS

BY SCOTT P. MOORE Representatives from the FAA and JFK Airport assured residents and local government officials action was being taken to try and alleviate air traffic noise at a Monday evening meeting of the Town-Village Aircraft Safety and Noise Abatement Committee (TVASNAC) in Lawrence Village Hall.

“This is not a rehash of the previous meeting,” noted TVASNAC executive director Kendall Lampkin, calling the meeting a “part two” instead. He clarified TVASNAC was not a lobbying group, but rather a sounding board for both residents and officials to discuss solutions.

“We reemphasized what the criteria for runway selection are,” noted David Siewart, Air Traffic Manager at the JFK Air

Inwood resident Nancy Manara thought it was “the end of the world” when planes were taking off continuously over her home.

Center on the path to fiscal recovery, an organized closure may be the only option,” they said.

Neighboring hospital, St, John’s Episcopal is preparing in the event that Peninsula does close. “We are very saddened and concerned by Peninsula’s situation,” said Nelson Toebbe, CEO of St. John’s in a statement.

“Peninsula has been a valuable resource to this community for decades. We have been aware for some time of the financial challenges Peninsula faces and we have both short-term and long-term plans in place to care for Peninsula patients who wish to use our services.”

In preparation, St. John’s said in a statement that once the state approves their expansion plans, they will start increasing the capacity of the emergency room, ambulatory care, surgery, intensive care and in-patient facilities, Toebbe said.

St. Johns may also hire Peninsula employees if Peninsula closes. They number of employees hired will vary, but it could be 250 employees, nursing staff in particular.

Trinity-St. John’s Episcopal Church, a parish with an unmistakeable landmark house of worship on Broadway in Hewlett, recently celebrated its 175th anniversary.

“We are acknowledging the legacy given to us,” said Reverend Owen Thompson, Rector of the parish for the last six years. “We are looking, not only at the past, but the present and the future.”

Thompson said the anniversary was significant for his con-

gregation especially due to the changes in both the demographics of the local area, especially with many churches closing, and how people perceive God in their everyday lives.

“We are here to stay… and there’s much we want to continue to do for the next 175 years.”

Trinity Church was founded on May 3rd, 1836 as Trinity Chapel, a mission of St. George’s Church in Hempstead. The chapel itself would be erected and completed a year later on May 8th when it was consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese of New

York. The chapel, moved 100 feet north of its original location during the 1870’s to make room for the current church, now serves as the home of Trinity Church’s offices, school, and social events.

The chapel would separate from St. George’s in 1844 and be called Trinity Church, Rockaway.

In May 1878, the current church building would open its doors for the growing population of the area. In 1978, Trinity Church would merge with Far Rockaway’s St. John’s Church to form Trinity-St. John’s Church, due to decreased attendance and finan-

“But, they fit amazing. It’s a lau pant pa for everyone. Half the battle is getting ti women to try it on, but oncee they do, d they love it. It’s about how you u put the t look together to bring it into o current times.”

Other must-haves include the leather Ponte pant, and a parka (which which Bonauito explains as a light jackacket with a touch of fur which iss “yummy”). As for tops, the more shoulders, the better. “There are still a lot of tops that are one shoulder, cold shoulder, or a cutt out sleeve. Plus, nobody has bad ad shoulders. It’s a way of showing wing enough skin to be sexy without ut being self conscious.” Tops and pants at Lonny’s start at $48.

A couple of practice swings and a putt later, the ball sinks into the hole with a stereotypical “plunk.”

“Nice putt, Jim!” said Sable, as he put the flag back in, collected Marigotta and friends’ golf clubs and headed to the next hole.

“Thanks,” said a grinning Marigotta before stepping off to the side to let his friend Paul Amttie take his shot.

“Golf runs in my stepfather’s blood,” Sable explained. His stepfather, Cameron Wood, is the one of the country club’s pros on staff. “He takes me out here sometimes and gives me lessons. I’d like to be good at this some day.”

Sable said his stepfather got him his position at Inwood to help him make money during high school. Now after completing his undergraduate studies and moving on to earn a Master’s in special education, Sable caddies to earn extra money Caddy Jon Sable helps a golfer aim up his putt on the third hole.

A Day in the Life of a Local Golf Caddy

A golf ball rests on the green no less than five feet from the hole, on a barely noticeable hill which is tormenting its owner from putting it in its final resting place. Jimmy Margiotta, a food services business owner from Long Beach, is crouched down staring at the slight incline, using his putter for leverage. A slight frown appeared on his face before he stands up.

“Jon!” he called out. “What do you think? Slightly uphill, right?” A young man donning a green pull-over vest atop a white polo and khaki shorts jogs over from where he was holding the hole’s flag marker and crouches down where Margiotta had been a moment before. He observes it and squints for a moment as the sun bakes the course.

“Oh yeah,” says Jon Sable, his golf caddy for the day, with a quick smile and light pat to Marigotta’s back. Sable is a 22 year old graduate student at Manhattanville College and has been a golf caddy at Inwood Country Club for six years. “That’s just a

cial strains for both houses of worship. The former St. John’s Church, also called Trinity Chapel, is now owned by Beth-El Temple Church of God in Christ and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The church itself is gothic in design and features a trademark large spire atop the building, with white siding and a large flower-like glass window facing out towards Broadway. It was designed by architect Josiah Cleveland Cady of New York City A stained glass window shows Trinity Church’s history as of 1936.

ur vests, and oversized sweaters in brick reds, blacks, and jewel tones are just some of the trends that fashion-forward female Five Towners will be wearing this season.

Fur seems to reign as the top trend among local stores like Lonny’s, Flirt, and Sheryl David. Contrary to popular belief, however, fur doesn’t have to be a splurge; faux-fur capelets and vests are practical, chic, and versatile. Using accessories like a waist-cinching belt or layering a sweater underneath makes it flattering for nearly everyone.

When it comes to showing skin, less is more, but off-the-shoulder tops and dresses with open-backs will add a touch of allure without giving too much away. Fitted cardigans have been traded in for chunky sweaters, leaving prim and proper styles in the past for a more relaxed and bohemian look.

Leggings and a good pair of jeans are fundamental, but options like leather leggings and flared jeans create more interesting looks. Corduroys are an emerging trend rising in popularity, and some buyers, like at Lonny’s, swear that the impeccable fit make it a must-have.

In the world of dresses and flirty casual wear, black is back, lace is in, and fur is taking over.

“Start with a little fur vest, layered with a bulky sweater, and finish it with a belt,” advised buyer and stylist, Maria Danca.

To transition a summer piece into fall, like a long and whimsical maxi skirt, pair it with a sweater or leather jacket, Danca said.

Emeralds, sapphires, and deep purples are this season’s go-to colors. The jewel tones and a touch of sequins or beads are just the right amount of glitz, according to Danca. “No matter what figure you have, a safe dress is a beaded dress because it’s forgiving of figure flaws.”

As far as lengths and cuts go, Danca noted that a micro-mini only really works for beaded dress, but a dress hitting right above the knee is sophisticated and classic. High necklines and open backs in dresses add flair without going too over the top, Danca said. The average price of tops and dresses are $98-$398.

“Buy the navy or black dress, or a beautiful silk top,” Danca added.

“They last. Invest in classic pieces and add trend with an accessory.”

Flirt was opened a little over a year ago by owner, Carla Haynes.

Danca is previously the owner of The Strapless Dress boutique in Lynbrook. “Flirt is a place you come for a special occasion, for a birthdress, Danca said. day dress, party dress, date dress,” “It’s a more going out look. We have a few long, formal gowns, too.”

ack to school signals much more than class and homework, it’s also the perfect time to start fresh with a new fall wardrobe.

From polka dots to fringes and hoodies, there are a few new back-to-school looks that are essential for everyone from elementary to high school.

Hewlett’s Jermey Leguillow gets great blocking on a run up the middle.

Lawrence seemed more than eager to put the nails in the coffin as Tyler Fredericks rushed 56 yards down the field on the team’s next possession for another touchdown, giving the Golden Tornadoes a 26-10 lead, followed by a two-point conversion from Lawrence sophomore quarterback Joe Capobianco to freshman wide receiver Jordan Fredericks, Ryan and Tyler’s brother, for a 28-10 lead.

Hewlett turned the ball over on downs in four plays and the Golden Tornadoes took advantage. Capobianco threw 35 yards to wide receiver Eddie Robinson for another touchdown. The extra point kick was good and Lawrence went up 35-10.

The Bulldogs refused to go down quietly and mounted a huge comeback. On their next possession, Leguillow rushed two yards into the end zone to bring the team within 18 points at 35-17. An onside kick gave Hewlett the ball back and the Bulldogs capitalized with quarterback Zach Richman throwing to wide receiver Sam Grill for an 11-yard touchdown pass. A faked

extra point kick turned into two more points as Grill ran the ball into the end zone to tighten the lead to 35-25 at half time.

After the teams came back on the field in the third quarter, Hewlett continued to pick up steam. Two plays into Lawrence’s possession, Capobianco was picked off giving Hewlett the ball deep in their own zone.

The possession produced no points, but the shock and anger was evident on the Lawrence bench. On the Bulldogs next possession, Richman found wide receiver Sam Martorella for 16 yards and another touchdown.

The Bulldogs closed the gap to three points at 35-32.

The tight score seemed to wake up the beast in the Lawrence offense, however. Tyler Fredericks rushed 72 yards down the field into the end zone for a touchdown, his third of the day, and putting the Golden Tornadoes up 42-32. The Lawrence defense, seemingly missing in the second quarter, prevented the Bulldogs from getting a first down on their next possession and quickly got the ball back to the offense.

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes ended the Hewlett Bulldogs’ season after defeating them 62-32 in the first round of the Conference III playoffs at Lawrence High School on Saturday afternoon.

Hewlett received the ball first and things looked promising on the team’s first drive down the field that took the Bulldogs 87 yards over 11 plays, but the Lawrence defense prevented Hewlett from reaching the end zone. The Bulldogs were forced to go for the field goal which put the team up 3-0.

Lawrence struck right back on their first possession with senior runningback Ryan Fredericks rushing four yards for his first touchdown of the day and a 7-3 Golden Tornadoes lead in the first quarter. Ryan’s brother, junior runningback Tyler Fredericks, also added another touchdown in the opening minutes of the second quarter to give Lawrence a 14-3 lead.

Two plays into Hewlett’s first possession of the second quarter, Lawrence defender Mike Fragner intercepted the ball and ran it over 30 yards to the Hewlett 11yard line. Two plays later, Ryan Fredericks rumbled through the Hewlett defensive line and barely into the end zone for another touchdown, giving Lawrence a 20-3 lead.

Hewlett, down 17, was not finished though. On the Bulldogs’ next possession, the offense pushed down the field 55 yards before Jeremy Leguillow rushed nine yards into the end zone, bringing Hewlett back within ten at 20-10.

Towns rival Hewlett in the first round of the Conference III playoffs.

“The same broken record – we’re tough offensively and hard to stop,” said Martillotti. “As long as we have the ball though, it’s really hard to stop us.”

The Bulldogs struggled throughout most of the game trying to find a way to stop the Golden Tornadoes. Runningback brothers Ryan and Tyler Fredericks showed off why they had a reason to be feared, each scoring four touchdowns during the game accounting for over third-quarters of the team’s points on those plays.

he mood during the “Five Towns Bowl II” – Hewlett-Lawrence matchup – at Lawrence High School dramatically changed during the second quarter – the normally loud and rabid Golden Tornado fan base were stuck in a stunned silence as they watched the team’s 25-point lead slip away during the second quarter as the defense allowed three touchdowns to score.

“Defensively there during the second quarter, we had a little bit of a brain fart,” said Coach Joe Martillotti. The team gave up the majority of its lead during the final eight minutes of the second quarter. “They had a couple of big plays on us and that on-side kick.”

During the Hewlett comeback, the only sounds from Lawrence’s fans, coaches and some players was to referees as six flags came out for penalties, most against the Golden Tornadoes. Heading into half time, the mood was eerie – the players looked a little shocked and the fans, while applauding, could

the ball,” Martillotti said. “We’re just talented on all fronts.”

It was the starting defense though, which had shined in the team’s previous three games by not allowing a single point, that gave up the lead.

“It is what it is,” he said, shrugging. “It’s a matter of time though because when we get the ball, we’re going to score.”

Notes: QB Joe Capobianco was 9 for 15 on passes during the game, throwing for one touchdown and one interception... Ryan Fredericks scored four touchdowns in the game, giving him thirteen straight games with a touchdown since last season... 62 points was a new season high for Lawrence’s offense, but the 32 points given up was the most in four games as well... wide receiver Eddie Robinson had one of his best days of the year with two receptions and one touchdown as well as two fumble recoveries on defense.

Hewlett’s (#6) Sam Martorella cannot keep Lawrence’s Tyler Fredericks (#3) from running down the field in the second half.

Heartbreaking End to Bulldogs’ Football Season school halls, Sherri noted. However, basic must-haves are pencil skirts ($22-$60) that can be paired with printed wide-dolman sleeved tops, and Sugar lips tank tops, which are a necessity for layering.

ewlett Bulldogs Varsity Football saw its season come to an end on Saturday when they fell to the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes in the second slugfest between the two teams this season. Hewlett got back into the game when, down 35-10 in the second quarter, they scored 22 straight points to make it a three point game.

That was all she wrote for the Bulldogs though, as Lawrence dashed their hopes by stepping up defensively and scoring 27 un-

answered points of their own to win 62-32.

“We fought hard,” Starting Running Back Jeremy Leguillow said.

“It’s just that we couldn’t finish in the second half. They are a very good team, but I feel like we should have won. They came back hard and we didn’t know what to do. We didn’t regroup the way we wanted to, but it was a good game.”

Leguillow scored two rushing touchdowns in the game for Hewlett.

“I’m just so happy that I got to play on Varsity this year,” Leguillow said. “All of the seniors are

like crying right now. They wish we had this game back, but it was a great experience and a great season.”

After the game, Hewlett Head Coach Jay Iaquinta was not pleased with the result, but was happy about his team’s performance.

“We are real proud of our kids,” Iaquinta said. “All we asked them to do is give us effort for the full 48 minutes. We’re thrilled with the effort they gave us. We had a lot of adversity. We had some injuries and a lot of things to deal with. These kids persevered all the way through and never stopped fighting. Lawrence is a re-

ally good football team. We probably had to score one more time in the third quarter. We didn’t and that gave them an opportunity to score. It kind of got away from us.”

Iaquinta is looking forward to next season now and is excited about some of his breakout players making strides next year.

“We have some good kids coming back in Richman and Leguillow plus some good kids at the end,” Iaquinta said. “We’re a grunt team. We have to work hard and we have to make up for deficiencies with hard work in the off-season.”

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Happy Holidays CONTINUED FROM P. A8 nately, when I got out of the car, my eldest noticed that my skirt was dirty. It seemed I had sat in something which left a stain of sorts in a rather inopportune spot. While I would otherwise have no qualms about wearing the skirt regardless, the stain was really in a bad place. Having to return items to a clothing store anyway, I figured I would just get another skirt there and change in the dressing room.

It would not be the first time I had done that and, I predicted, it certainly would not be the last.

The last time I needed to buy a new article of clothing and change on the spot, I had spilled a full cup of coffee on my shirt en route to a medical consult.

Wanting to put my best foot forward, wearing a stained and discolored shirt was imprudent.

Therefore, I found a shirt on sale, changed into it and went to pay. The woman behind the register did not even blink when I told her I literally needed to pay for the shirt on my back. She said it happened all the time.

When I handed her my stained shirt to toss out, she did not see it as out of the ordinary either.

Seems it was just another day at The Gap. The gentleman who helped me on Sunday, however, was not as accustomed to such behavior. I came out of the dressing room, a pile of garments

slung over my arm, and proceeded to the register. My eldest left to check out another shop nearby while I paid for my items.

The gentleman and I exchanged pleasantries as I dropped my pile on the counter. “I am wearing the skirt I need to pay for,” I said, showing him the tags still attached to my side. “I got the skirt I had been wearing very dirty,” I continued, “and am going to buy this one I’m wearing instead.” First he looked confused, then he looked at me funny. I offered to explain my plan again, but he said he got it.

“I have to take the sensor off the skirt, though” he said, although I had thought about that when I was trying it on.

“There’s no mental sensor on it,” I responded, expecting it to be just like sensors used by other stores that need to be taken off by a strange vice-grip kind of apparatus. He then explained that the sensor was in the label and needed to be deactivated by swiping it across the sensor pad on the counter. The tags were not a problem, he explained, because they could simply be removed. The sensor was more challenging, but he had an idea. While I offered to take the skirt off and wear the dirty one until the transaction had been processed, he was confident his ideas would work.

“All I need you to do,” he explained, “is roll across the sensor pad.” I asked him if he was serious. He said he was and told

me to come behind the counter.

“Just scoot on top of the counter,” he said, “and roll back and forth across the pad so the sensor in the label hits the pad.” All of a sudden, I became very wary.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to just go and take the skirt off?”

I asked, but he said it was fine.

So, I did what I was told.

I walked behind the counter and propped myself up on top of the pad. As if I was completing some kind of crazy yoga or Pilates move, I extended my legs and rolled back and forth across the pad in a semi-recumbent position until he was satisfied that the sensor had been desensitized. “That should do it,” he said. I jumped down, looked around and returned to the other side of the register. Not one person noticed or commented about what I had done. Despite the business of the store, no one looked at me funny or wondered aloud why I had rolled across the counter. Besides getting a new skirt, the irony of no one noticing was the best part.

I finished with my purchase as my eldest returned. “You just missed it!” I exclaimed. “I just rolled across the counter to shut the sensor off on my new skirt!”

She stopped in her tracks and rolled her eyes. “I missed nothing,” she said. “Thank G-d I was not here.” I smiled. I got a new skirt, did all of my returns and fulfilled my parental duty to embarrass my kids. Happy Mother’s Day to me.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. A9 these freshmen ideologues to Washington to represent me.

And just what is it you have done to improve the economy? You`ve created a massive corporate welfare program through your bailouts. You ve shored up failed and unsustainable institutions, losing billions of taxpayers’ money in the process. For the last 30 to 40 years you ve created quite a massive welfare system, which pays people not to work and robs from them their dignity and their dreams. You`ve allowed unions to represent government workers and in doing so you`ve put the taxpayers directly under the hammer of the union bosses. You`ve passed Obama Care without reading it, and now that people are finally reading it they are discovering all the nice little traps waiting for us over the coming years. This creates

a good and positive feeling for the future, I assure you. Speaking of which, your boss keeps talking about increasing taxes on the rich. All I know about the rich is that they are the people with the money to invest in businesses that hire people. Yes, it takes wealthy people to put the rest of the people to work. So if I was one of them trying to make plans for growing my business, I`d be thinking of all the various places I`d like to shove those plans right about now.

Oh, and then we come to your main theme The Import-Export Bank, which was not supported by my freshman ideologues, as you call them. All 93 votes against reauthorizing the Im-Ex Bank came from them? I did not know that, and I must say I am so proud of them. I must write to my other Republican reps and ask them why they supported it. The Import-Export Bank is

Friday, May 25 Men in Black 3: Rated PG-13.

Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back … in time.

J has seen some over-the-top and inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but noth-

just another government welfare program that is supposed to assist when the market fails.

Did I say that right? It assists when the market fails. Do you understand anything about markets? NO. Do you understand anything about how a healthy market works? NO. Do you have any idea about how it is that America`s (and the world`s) economy has collapsed? NO. You do not. But my people do. So I must remind you of your own words it is your turn now to put politics aside, your turn to compromise, your turn to cooperate and do the right thing for the American people. So start doing it. Listen to my people for a change and follow what they say and you will soon see America getting back up and running again. My people were sent to Washington with strict instructions DO NOT COMPROMISE! WE THE TAX PAYERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH!
