The election will be on November 6. So far, Sussman is the only Republican challenger.

Sussman is a urologist with an office in Brooklyn and has lived in The Five Towns since 1963 where he served as president and vice president on the Lawrence School Board. He himself was a student in the Lawrence school district and his children have graduated

YOUR FIVE TOWNS HOMETOWN PAPER

This past Memorial Day weekend many Lawrence residents were trying to enjoy their outdoor barbeques but were beginning to notice a pesky problem – mosquitoes and horseflies… and a lot of them. The problem has gotten so out of hand that Mayor Martin Oliner says he received over 30 complaints in just six hours on Wednesday.

“A week ago people had no problems” says Oliner. “The rain seems to have brought out an extraordinary amount of mosquitoes” he adds. According to Mayor Oliner, the further you go away from Central Avenue towards Ocean Avenue, the

number of mosquitoes dramatically increases. The main reason that South Lawrence seems to be experiencing these problems more so than other areas in The Five Towns is its geography. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in small areas of water called water basins. Because South Lawrence is located directly by the water, mosquitoes relocate and hatch near Banister Creek and Lawrence’s marshes. These areas have become the breeding ground for mosquitoes and even other bugs such as green and black horseflies.

“It ruins the quality of life for residents” says Oliner. “Peo-

Two brothers were arrested in Inwood on Wednesday after an argument with a female victim inside of a car that they allegedly tried to steal the keys to. Tyhei Corley, 34, of Hempstead, and Keith Corley Jr., 32, of Farmingdale, were in a 2006 Dodge with an 18-year-old female victim at Burnside Avenue and Doughty Boulevard, according to a report by Detective Pentola of the Fourth Precinct in Hewlett.

The report said that an argument ensued and the victim told the brothers to exit the vehicle. Keith Corley Jr. then grabbed the keys from the ignition and a struggle began as the

Hewlett Brims Over with the Sound of Music

By Deanna Del Ciello Walking down the music wing at Hewlett High School, laughter can be heard, students and teachers are joking with each other. A clarinetist is warming up in a practice room. A piano is being played a little farther down the hall being accompanied by a vocalist.

It is lunchtime.

Shana Farkas, sophomore, reaches into her clarinet case and begins to put the pieces of her instrument together. “The teachers here are amazing. They’re so

passionate about music. They’re amazing players.” Putting the last piece of her clarinet together, she closes her case and rests her instrument against her arm.

“We’re not only learning and making music here, we’re having fun.”

Instead of spending their break in a cafeteria, the students involved in the music program here spend their time in the rehearsal and practice rooms, pouring over their parts and hanging out with their directors.

Indeed, many Lawrence residents seem to agree that the mosquito problem has gotten significantly worse than last year. When asked, the residents of Lawrence had much to say about the unwanted visitors. Most agree that the bloodsuckers have gotten out of hand and the problem is only going to get worse if nothing is done.

Vinny Lettieri, a resident of Mineola works as a construction worker in Lawrence. He says that Mineola has virtually no mosquitoes but he notices the problem when he works in Lawrence. “Since I’ve been

working here, the problem has been getting worse” he says. “I come here and I get eaten alive” he adds.

Barbara Kraut, a long time resident of Lawrence says it is almost impossible to walk down the streets of Lawrence without getting bit. “I’ve lived in Lawrence my whole life and the mosquitoes have always been bad” she says. “This year I’m noticing a lot more bugs, especially by my home near the water” she adds.

Irene Randal, a frequent shopper in Lawrence agrees that the problem is noticeable. “It seems they’ve come out earlier this year” she says. “I’ve already seen a couple and usually I don’t see them this early” she adds.

Randall and other residents of The Five Towns are noticing the mosquitoes earlier this year and a lot of this has to do with our changing environment. Winters thin out the mosquito population but because this winter was very warm with virtually no snow or below freezing temperatures, a majority of mosquitoes have made it to the spring and summer. Mosquitoes need to maintain a certain body temperature in order to survive and this year’s winter allowed for most of them to maintain that temperature.

Other environmental factors such as New York’s recently high humidity levels and rain also impact the population of mosquitoes. Water basins produced by spring rains allow for female mosquitoes to lay their eggs and the warm and humid cli-

mates are necessary in order for the eggs to hatch. Each egg may contain anywhere from 100-200 baby mosquitoes.

The phases of the moon and its correlation to high tides and low tides may also have an impact on number of mosquitoes present. Last week the Northern Hemisphere experienced the New Moon phase which attributes to higher tides and therefore more water near Banister Creek. Mosquito outbreaks rise with the tide.

A Solution in the Near Future In the past there have been different ways to approach mosquito problems. Only in the most extreme cases does the Nassau County Department of Health get involved. A representative from the Nassau County Department of Health, Mary Ellen Laurain, explains that they only spray when there is a documented case of disease such as the West Nile Virus. She added that “spraying is not done to control nuisance mosquitoes − spraying is only done when there is a disease present.” Laurain also says that the Nassau County Department of Health will not spray “just because people have mosquitoes around their property.”

The NCDPH does monitor for the disease by setting up different stations around Nassau but their focus is more of a reaction rather than prevention.

The other way to approach the mosquito problem is to get Lawrence’s Department of Public Works involved. Mayor Martin Oliner has asked the DPW to spray and suspects that they will be spraying in the near future. As the Village of Lawrence waits to see if the Department

of Public Works will spray the town soon, Mayor Oliner says he is looking for other alternatives because the feels that the problem is “very real” for the residents of Lawrence. He also wants his residents to know that government officials are taking the problem seriously. He is exploring his options to work with environmentalists to see if other measures can be taken.

Prevention Nassau County has had a reported case of West Nile Virus every year since 1999, including 20 cases of the disease in 2009. There are several ways in which the residents of Nassau County may prevent the birth of mosquitoes. Laurain from the Nassau County Department of Health says that residents should be vigilant about dumping standing water. “In order to control mosquitoes people need to dump standing water around their property” she says. This includes water on the lids of garbage cans, extra water gathering in gutters and even flower pots.

“It only takes a mosquito a tiny bit of water to breed” she says.

“A little clip of water on the bottom of a flower pot is enough to breed mosquitoes in three days” she adds.

When prevention just isn’t enough there are many things that can be done to prevent mosquito bites. Some of these options include bug spray, mosquito traps, solar insect zappers, ThermaCell Lanterns, key chains that repel mosquitoes, bracelets that repel mosquitoes and even insect shield clothing. Below is a list of some solutions to help repel mosquitoes this summer season.

Lawrence-Cedarhurst Parade Honors Those who Made Ultimate Sacrifice CONTINUED FROM P. A1 lice departments, a high school marching band and a handful of beauty queens rolled and strolled toward Cedarhurst Park to commemorate those who have served our country.

For Julia Pareles of Hewlett, Memorial Day is not only a celebration of “how much freedom

songs, children waved their miniature American flags and parents snapped pictures.

A little farther down the parade route, Daniel Orama of Valley Stream defined Memorial Day as a holiday of “sacrifice, patriotism and a time to have a burger.”

Immediately following the parade was a ceremony held in

Pareles came to the parade with her two sons “to honor the people that died” and support the local fire department.

As the Lawrence High School Marching Band played patriotic

Andrew J. Parise Park honoring local veterans. Mayor Andrew J. Parise led the ceremony along with Rev. Msgr. Paul Rahilly and Pastor Mary Chang. The Lawrence High School Marching Band provided the music along with LHS student Nicole Eras of Cedarhurst who sang

the National Anthem, “Amazing Grace” and “Wind Beneath My Wings.”

“I really believe in the parade,” Benjamin Pianko of Lawrence said. “It’s important for people to think about those who have fallen and give gratitude.”

Participating in the ceremony was Lance Corporal Timothy Pastor II. His mother, Laura Pastor of Bellmore, and grandmother, Gerri Steiner of Island Park, watched and recorded nearly every moment of the day.

“I can’t even explain what it means to us,” Steiner said. “I’m so proud of everybody here.”

Scattered throughout the crowd were veterans, many wearing a hat that denoted in which war they fought.

After being drafted for the Korean War in 1951, Ralph Klein was a paratrooper in the 1st Airborne before being transferred into the military police. “This holiday is not for me, it’s for the ones who didn’t come back,” Klein said. Klein is proud of his time spent serving. “I am very proud that I served. I didn’t run away and I didn’t hide.”

Expressing similar sentiments was Vietnam War veteran Lester Wiesenfeld of Inwood. He was drafted in 1968.

Memorial Day “means my life.

I never expected to come home and here I am, honoring all those passed and all those here.”

As the ceremony ended, families mingled and lingered in the park: children clutching their tiny American flags, war veterans moving slowly around the Veterans Memorial, all honoring those who have served and continue to serve America.

Two Brothers Arrested For Robbery In Inwood up and left the vehicle.

According to the report, defendant Keith Corley Jr. struck the victim in the face and forcibly removed the remaining keys from her hand. When the victim exited the vehicle, Corley Jr. got into the drivers seat of the car but could not start it because he didn’t have the key. Fourth precinct officers then arrived at the scene and after an investigation took the brothers into custody.

No injuries were reported and both defendants were charged with Robbery in the Second Degree and were arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Wednesday, May 30th.

east side to the west side of the Nassau Expressway against the traffic signal and outside of the pedestrian crosswalk when he was struck by a 2007 Ford pickup truck. The report said that Reyes was transported to a local area hospital by helicopter because of extensive bodily trauma and later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. There were no additional injuries reported.

The report said the driver of the truck was a 54-year-old man from Inwood. Detectives report no apparent criminality in connection with the accident and the Ford pickup truck has been impounded for a safety inspection.

Sun Shines on Inwood Parade CONTINUED FROM P. A1 the Sons of Italy, made a float honoring all the fallen veterans. Lawrence High School is usually responsible for building the float every year but when Lawrence High School was unable to do it, Sarro and Ciavolino stepped in. The two believe it was important to make this float because it “is a sign of freedom.” When asked about the turnout of the parade Sarro and Ciavolino said the parade was good but it seems to get smaller

and smaller every year. “It could have been better” says Ciavolino. “I don’t know if people just don’t want to come out or if people are shy” he adds. Regardless of the turnout both men agree that it was “an honor to honor the soldiers who fought for us.”

Bob Vinciguerra, a Korean War veteran agrees that the parade was not as large as it used to be years ago. “It dwindled down a little bit but it’s still nice and it will always be nice – even if we have two people” he says. Vinciguerra feels that

Sussman Running For NYS Assembly Versus Weisenberg CONTINUED FROM P. A1 from the district as well.

“My forte, as I think every school board member’s forte should be, is bringing the best education possible to all the children of the district at a tax level that everyone can afford,” Sussman said. He recalled his achievements with the Lawrence School Board and its tax level. “At the local level, I think we’ve done a very, very strong job. The rate of increase for District 15 taxes is basically the lowest in the state,” he said. This is the first time he is running for a public office other than school board.

“When I look past the school, I see that we’re suffering from the same problems that the rest of this Assembly District and the state and Long Island are suffering from,” he said, adding that a reason that he is running is to get to the power source of district problems up in Albany.

“These are issues that are coming from Albany. They’re not coming from the local districts.”

Sussman said that right now, taxes are a huge issue and so is education. “I’d like to see a change in direction,” he said.

“We’ve been fighting hard for better education opportuni-

ties for everyone, but we’re up against institutional problems that need to be solved at a higher level.”

He spoke of teacher tenure and how teachers are considered for tenure after only three or four years of teaching. “I submit that we have to look long and hard at that system and ask ourselves, ‘Does it serve the children or does it serve some other interest?’” He added, “People change, and yet after four years we basically say to a teacher ‘You’re ours, forever.’ It has to be looked at much more carefully,” he said.

“We need to decrease taxes. We need to look at the delivery of all items that the state is involved with, that your tax dollars are involved, with and say ‘Are they being done in the most efficacious matter that they can be?’ And if not, we have to change them appropriately.”

The last election cycle for New York State Assembly was in 2010 when incumbent Weisenberg was challenged by Josh Wanderer, an tax attorney from Lawrence and chairman of the board of the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway. Wanderer lost by a very narrow margin, the small-

The report said that on Wednesday, May 23, Samantha E. Rubin, 22, of Hewlett, was arrested for shoplifting while employed at the King Kullen located on Peninsula Boulevard in Hewlett, and on Saturday, May 26, an unknown person removed an iPod and $3.00 from a vehicle parked on Monroe Street in Cedarhurst.

the lower turnout is understandable because the veterans are getting older. For Vinciguerra and his wife Theresa, it was important to attend. “It is important to keep remembering what happened in the past and what could happen in the future” says Vinciguerra.

Among the marchers for this year’s parade were the Nassau County Police Department, the Nassau County Police Department Band, the Lawrence High School Band and the Inwood Fire Department. Shortly after the parade participants and onlookers were able to enjoy refreshments such as hotdogs and soda.

est margin in years. “One of the down sides of my campaign was I got off to a considerably late start,” he said. “I didn’t start seriously campaigning until the middle of September which gave me less than a month and a half to overcome the main recognition issue.” Weisenberg was in office for 20 years at that point, so overcoming name recognition proved difficult for Wanderer.

“One of the things Dr. Sussman is going to have to do is campaign earlier,” Wanderer said. “He’s going to have to connect with the people of Long Beach. It’s going to be difficult.

Everything is timing. It’s going to be a lot of hard work.”

Wanderer said that winning the election could certainly be in Sussman’s future, especially if he wins the people of Long Beach.

Sussman said there are a lot of problems down here on Long Island, including the distribution of state aid, that need to be fixed at the source in Albany. “ An unfair burden is being placed on the suburbs. Nassau and Suffolk have become a piggy bank for subsidizing New York City,” Sussman said.

“The system is broken in Albany and we have to repair it at its source. We can work as hard as we can down here but we can’t change what’s raining down on us without getting to the place where it starts.”

nder the heading of “Parenthood,” there are few things funnier than toilet training. That is not to say that there are not other funny things about being parents, as most of my material comes straight from my experience as a mom. All I can tell you, however, is that this time around, it has been pretty funny around here.

Yes: our toddler who transitioned from a crib to a bed a few weeks ago reached a second major milestone as she went from diapers to “big girl underwear.” I am not sure how it works in other families when the youngest child is toilet trained, ridding the family of diapers forever. As part of the celebration, I considered making a big party, having a cake in the shape of a Pampers box and then dramatically canceling my account with diapers.com.

Those plans were nixed, although people have wished me a mazal tov when told that we were finishing that stage in our life. In the interest of sanity, I decided to keep a low profile and just throw out my diaper bag. That was just as liberating as “accidentally” leaving my cell phone at home.

In our humble opinion, there are a few key rules for successful toilet training. The first is to keep your child totally naked for at least a day.

So besides all of the usual commotion in our lives, we had a toddler streaking throughout the house. Every time I turned around, there went that little tush. To say that toilet training her was a group effort is an understatement. By the very fact that we all live together, we were all involved.

Everyone of us on a constant state of alert, we had been relentlessly asking her if she needed to go to the bathroom. Any of our other children who were either playing with her, watching TV with her or even getting her a snack were under strict instructions to constantly ask and remind. The fact is that it behooved all of us to keep the accidents down to a minimum. In addition, we were confident she would be the easiest to train. As the youngest of six, she is very mature and incredibly articulate. She also thinks she is much older than she actually is and probably wondered why we had not done this yet. So did we.

Almost as unconsciously as breathing, we continually and unknowingly asked her if she needed to go to the bathroom. “I think we are going to give her a complex,” my husband said. He had a point, I thought. Nevertheless, we persisted, sometimes taking her to the bathroom just to allow her to develop the habit. Shabbat morning as I was preparing lunch, one of my older daughters hurried our toddler into the bathroom. They emerged a couple of minutes later and my little one ran into the kitchen.

“Mommy!” she screamed. “I

he late Benjamin Franklin, diplomat, Declaration of Independence co-author, scientist and almanac publisher has been honored perhaps more than any non-President

ow does Carolyn McCarthy keep getting reelected? I have heard that question a lot the last two election cycles as I waged my own campaign for the seat. For all her nearly 16 years in office, she has been so unproductive, so invisible to her constituents, so liberal for a district that covers approximately half of the county that houses more registered Republicans than any other in New York State. She has turned a deaf ear to constituents who are hurting under the yoke of job-killing taxes and regulation.

Sadly, we in Nassau County suffer even more from the cumulative effects of onerous taxes and regulation at every level of government—federal, state, and local. The cost of living is driving our residents away. One woman I met cried as she told me that she was forced to sell the home she bought

40 years ago because the taxes were just too much.

So many seniors who made their lives here can no longer afford to stay, and it is even worse for their grandchildren before they even start their careers, who leave at a faster rate than their grandparents.

I first became active in the Republican Party in the late 1980’s, when I was in high school. Having helped most of the local Republican congressional candidates of the last quarter century, I witnessed firsthand the disappearance of the Republican delegation to Congress from most of what is now the Fourth District. The last time the County Republican Chairman picked a winning candidate for this seat was 20 years ago, when David Levy won. Another Republican, Dan Frisa, would take the seat from Levy after waging a successful primary, before losing to McCarthy two years later. It was frustrating, to say the least, to watch the incumbent win re-election the next six cycles. Some of these victories, no doubt, were fueled by the fiscal mismanagement of the 1990’s that drove Republicans from power in Nassau County for eight years.

I know that complaining is a lot easier than trying to be part of the solution. Having spent so much of my own career fighting battles inside and outside Congress, teaching about Con-

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

Becker has the Experience To Challenge McCarthy

By HOWARD J. KOPEL

O

n June 26, we are going to have a primary election in which Republicans will choose candidates for U.S. Senator (to run against Kirstin Gillibrand) and, in our specific area, for Congress (to run against Carolyn McCarthy.) I am going to focus on the race for Congress, because it is local and, especially, because I think that it can and should be won by a Republican, provided that we first choose the best candidate for the job.

It is a fact, and a shameful one, that voter turnout is likely to be pathetically low, considering the stakes involved. We need new and effective representation in Congress. We need a high turnout in The Five Towns. To steal a phrase from the Obama campaign: It is time for a change.

Two years ago, my great friend and colleague on the Nassau County Legislature (and co- columnist here at The Standard,) Fran Becker, was the Republican candidate running against Ms. McCarthy.

Starting late, and without significant money or a going campaign organization, Fran still came remarkably close to winning the seat formerly held by his grandfather. In fact, in The Five Towns, Fran won with overwhelming margins. That didn’t happen by accident. He just impressed the heck out of us! This time, with our help, he can win.

Fran has a warm and engaging personality, and is passionate on the issues that matter most to us. He has told me on numerous occasions of his intentions to spend more time in Israel, whose

people and leaders he admires, so that he is better able to defend her interests here in the States.

Fran Becker is positively passionate in his support for Israel. Actually, those that are lucky enough to know him well will tell you that Fran is passionate about everything in which he believes. He is a businessman with extensive insurance experience, who will explain (at length, if you give him the chance!) that Obamacare, not to mention the rest of Obama’s wild spending, threatens to bankrupt the country. He has many years of experience in politics, and has been a Nassau County Legislator for years, during which he has always railed against the over spending and waste that has characterized the County for too long.

I am continually impressed by Fran’s long record of service to the community and, indeed, of his family. In fact, his grandfather once held the seat for which Fran is running today. The Becker family is renowned for the many years that various Beckers have contributed to the public good.

Fran’s opponent in the upcoming primary election is a fine young man, with a good future. However, he has no actual experience in elective office, or in business. He cannot, at this time, come close to matching Fran’s experience and proven record of watching out for the taxpayer’s dollar.

He moved to Nassau after many years working in Washington, D.C. While he rightfully prides himself on his work to clean up Grant’s Tomb in Manhattan, he has no record of service here in Nassau County, and no deep involvement in Nassau affairs generally. He has not gone through the crucible of a tough election campaign, while Fran has done that successfully many times. That is what we need right now to ensure that next year we finally get the representation in Congress that we need and deserve.

In case you haven’t already figured it out, I intend to vote for Fran Becker on June 26, and again, in the general election in November. I hope that you will join me.

5:30 most days. West Broadway can back up nearly as far. Good old Ben must be posthumously offended to be associated (if only figuratively) with all this traffic between two streets named in his honor, We’ve written several times about the Franklin Avenue choke point that makes getting from Lawrence, Cedarhurst and Woodmere to Hewlett and points east a colossal pain in the posterior. It discourages commerce by inhibiting the easy, free-flow of traffic.

We’ve posited that downtown Woodmere is the ghost town it is in part due to the nightmare of traversing Broadway. It discourages folks from taking this street which is where most of Woodmere’s business is or should be located. But, more importantly, is there a reason to spend upwards of 10 minutes just to go from Franklin in Woodmere to Franklin in Hewlett?

We’ve suggested that Broadway and West Broadway each be made into one-way streets to speed-up the flow of traffic and allow for turn lanes. The County and The Town have essentially given up on the problem, but in the final analysis, the solving of small quality of life issues is and should be the essence of good local government. We again call on our powers that be to come up with solutions to this very annoying transportation problem so as to encourage inter-Five Towns travel and encourage more commerce.

Get Some Fresh Air

ast weekend The Wall Street Journal can a small article buried on page C18 in their “Review” section called “Mom Was Right: Go Outside” which talked about the salutary

effects accrued by human beings from being outside in nature.

We live in a time when most of us spend our days under fluorescent lights in office environments. Many of us lack even a window with which to see any natural light. Even in schools, most of the day is spent indoors – but at least our kids get the benefit of some outdoor gym classes, free periods, recesses and in public schools, they finish school most of the year with some daylight left.

In Jewish parochial schools our kids can easily develop that Talmudic gray pallor due to a lack of Vitamin D exposure.

The Journal piece, written by Jonah Lehrer asserted that “humans are quickly becoming an indoor species” due to urbanization but also because of our “increasing reliance on technology.” Lehrer quotes a study showing that American children between 8 and 18 “currently spend more than four hours a day interacting with technology.”

Back when most of us were kids, our parents would chase us away from the TVs and tell us to go outside and get out of the house. Television was considered a complete waste of time (especially afternoon TV) by our folks and it wasn’t uncommon for our moms to walk in and snap the set off while prodding us outdoors.

Computers though somehow are considered to be on a higher level even if the kids are watching music videos, playing video games or enmeshed in Facebook or some such thing. How this is much different from The Three Stooges, we have no idea.

The Journal’s article however shows that the health benefits of getting outside are not anecdotal. Being outside has a restorative effect, “calming our frazzled nerves and refreshing our tired cortex.” Studies are showing that even after brief exposures to the outdoors, “people are more creative, happier and better able to focus.”

Being outside has positive benefits to creativity, attention span, short-term memory and ability to cope with stress.

We are fortunate to live in an area awash in the wonders and beauties of nature – we’re surrounded by parks and golf courses, we’re a short drive from multiple bodies of water including the beach. Push your kids out of the house and while you’re at it, drag yourself outside as well. There’s no end of scientific data showing how this will improve your quality of life. Do this over the weekend and let us know in a few days how you feel.

So, leave it to me, The Legendary Danny O’Doul, to do something about it. Today, going deep undercover, I dressed in my most “Orthodox” garb, borrowed two burlap money bags from a local bank while on my free coffee run, and then went home and filled them with all the pennies in my coin collection so that the pair of sacks weighed a combined 30 lbs. and jangled like The Byrds on “Mr. Tambourine Man!” I then walked in my black suit, white shirt -- buttoned up to the top – and old black hat, carrying a money bag in each hand. I traversed the back roads of Lawrence, Woodsburgh, and Hewlett Bay Park, with no luck, I then proceeded to cover the rest of The Five Towns by foot. When I finally reached Saddle Ridge, I hit pay dirt!

Walking down Fordham Lane, I sensed someone following me.

I continued walking along until I heard a voice from the shadows behind me. “Hey, Rabbi -turn around slowly and drop those bags!” I carefully spun around and dropped the bags in one smooth movement, just as I had planned. When I pivoted, I saw that I was face to face with our nemesis -- The Schnorrer Bandit! It was almost like looking into a mirror, as we were dressed identically and, we even, both had beards.

Middle-aged Karaoke

mong the many variated “pleasures” of being single in one’s early 50s are the sundry invitations by friends inhabiting a similar lifestyle to go forth into the wilds of bars and parties – on weeknights -- in the hope of potentially meeting eligible social partners.

You never realize just how tired you actually are until you have to somehow muster the energy on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening to extricate yourself from the couch, upon which you have fallen into a recumbent position owing to the 10 hours of work you recently returned from. Bones can feel old mid-week, but, really, more often I find myself mentally exhausted more so than physically. Irrespective of one’s source of fatigue, changing and pushing oneself out the door at that time and day of the week is no easy feat.

There are, so help me, scores of singles in their 40s and 50s who make a regular habit of visiting, drinking and flirting in bars on “school nights.” How these people a) make it home by car and b) manage to get up in the morning after more than a couple of drinks is beyond my imagination. That many of these people look as fried as they do is no surprise.

You would, however, be surprised at the large number of divorced people living here in The Five Towns. A very large percentage of these folks are Jewish and traditionally observant.

You’ll generally not meet them here because especially for upscale, professional Jewish singles of a certain age, Bridie-O’s, The Willow Tavern and Back Stage are just way too close to home. There’s really no happening upscale watering hole in the vicinity, so folks are either trucking into Manhattan or the North Shore. Places like Great Neck and Manhasset are deemed far enough away from the neigh-

borhood, close enough so as to avoid traffic and a long drive into and out of the City and posh enough to make people feel comfortable vis-à-vis the demographic. The North Shore enables many to escape the cultural confines of our Five Towns “ghetto,” but anyway, there’s really no place for middle-aged Jews to go in our area. Back in the day (I’m talking about the 80s here) we had places like A.J.’s, Justin’s and Cartoons. But we were young and that’s ancient history.

The other evening I got dragged out to a place in Great Neck that has a karaoke night. I would say that I do most of my singing, alone, in the shower or in the car and the specter of actually grabbing a microphone in front of living, breathing people is mortifying to the extreme and no amount of alcohol-fueled courage could get me up to the stage – but – this establishment fills the room and has no shortage of folks imagining that they’re auditioning for American Idol.

About half this place was full of Five Towners – many of whom to my amazement, I’d never met. A lot of the guys wore resplendent smiles across their faces along with their minimal or receding hairlines and prodigious protrusions that could be called their waistlines. (Note: I’m no Adonis at 53 either…). Many of the women are doing their utmost to stave-off the inexorable march of time and gravity thanks to endless spin classes, personal trainers, Botox, nice clothes and makeup. The women are generally in better shape physically than the guys because fair or not, guys are evaluated in great measure by the heft of their wallets, not their quantity of hair, wrinkles or pant size.

In these environments everyone does their level-headed best to pretend as though they’re still 25 or 30. Guys are optimistically on the make and many of the women in their skin-tight outfits are looking for the adulation from men they enjoyed in

their heyday. On the QT, many of the middle-aged singles (you can’t call them “middle aged” to their face – the self-denial of this actuarial fact is intense) will tell you, as I will say for myself, that they’d prefer not to be there, not to be going out on a Tuesday, not to be looking for love in all the wrong places and would so much rather be in a committed relationship.

Unfortunately, there is a great deal of angst, alienation and anomie in our society today. People are leery of making connections or commitments.

Many are both intensely attracted to and repelled by the glow of prospective connection based on both their need for companionship but their concurrent fear of being hurt yet again. People in their 40s and 50s have eaten from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge – they know what life means – but often to effectuate any romance of any kind, the glare of pragmatism and reality needs to be shunted aside in favor of candlelight and some naïveté or it will never happen.

Often middle-aged singles are sweating out huge personal and professional responsibilities and this in and of itself makes life wholly different from the way it was 25 years ago.

Many married friends ask me voyeuristically if I’m living La Vida Loca – thinking that my life must be some kind of nonstop Hefner-esque escapade (they think their lives are fantastically dull) but despite a lot of first and second dates, I’d trade all the running around in a heartbeat for a night on the couch in front of the tube with someone you’ve been looking at for 20 years and I daresay that most of the folks in those North Shore watering holes would concur wholeheartedly. Make it work with your spouse if you have one because what’s out there is a lot of dimly lit karaoke, random encounters and meaningless small talk. Bring some flowers home – it takes a lot less effort than going out on a Tuesday night.

Flood Map Victims for Scaturro?

To the Editor, As reported in The South Shore Standard, Frank Scaturro and Francis Becker are opposing each other in this year’s Republican primary on June 26.

This affords an opportunity for registered Republicans to make a selection which would at the very least provide the prospect of action and positive change with respect to the “victims” of FEMA’s flood maps. This problem will become alarmingly more severe before the end of the year.

Mr. Becker became aware of the problem three years ago.

Since then his assistance in helping the “victims” has been sought by his constituents. Although he occasionally pops up at meeting, introduces himself and voices his support in opposition to FEMA’s flood maps, it

should be noted that his record of achievement in helping the “victims” of those maps is minuscule, if anything at all. A couple of months ago he conducted a committee meeting of the Nassau County Legislature to seek information and input regarding the problem. The meeting was sparsely attended; and I have not seen anything about concrete progress on his part to deal with the economic debacle facing his constituents who are facing gigantic premium increases, when the two year moratorium expires on December 31st of this year. It is remarkable that it took him three years to even hold such a meeting, since he originally heard about the problem.

I have suggested in the past that Mr. Becker and his colleagues should provide residents of the “AE” (high risk) flood map areas with tax relief on the County level. After all, the County is still assessing and collecting taxes from flood map “victims” as though their property has not been affected. For the most part, the “AE” designation devastates property values and often makes the property virtually unmarketable. However, Legislator Becker and his colleagues have done nothing with tax rates to ameliorate the pain and burden inflicted on those homeowners by flood maps. Local governments, including the county, had a right to protest before implementation and chose not to do so.

On the other hand, we have Mr. Scaturro, an unproven and

unknown entity. I did, however, have an opportunity to meet Mr. Scaturro at the last meeting of the Valley Stream Community Association where a geomatic expert spoke and totally discredited FEMA’s flood maps. Mr. Scaturro knows exactly what has occurred and what has not been done by all levels of government since the maps were implemented. He impressed me with his knowledge of the operation and powers of the House of Representatives including oversight of agencies such as FEMA. I think that his professional background and acquired knowledge of the flood map fiasco offer much more promise for the constituents of his district than the past performance of Francis Becker.

At the meeting of the Valley Stream Community Association, where scientific data was presented showing the flaws of FEMA’s position, Mr. Scaturro was present. Mr. Becker was not, nor was Mrs. McCarthy whose recent writings indicate a failure to grasp the basic issues involved. I am not a registered Republican or Democrat.

Although I vote in general elections in November, I will not be voting in the primary. However, I hope that Republicans on June 26th give our district a fresh choice. Mr. Scaturro deserves at the least the opportunity to help FEMA “victims” or the opportunity to do as little as his opponents with the prospect of not being reelected in the future.

Looking Cool in the Hot Weather: What to Wear for Work and Play

By Amanda Mayo

Day or Evening Wear

Standard Staff Reporter

Summer styles this year can be worn day or night, in flowing dresses, brightly colored shorts and lacey tops. Rene Shapiro, owner of Mixology in Hewlett, said anything with color is in. “It’s all about color – neons, pastels, any color,” she said. Shorts are always a summer staple and Shapiro said colored jean shorts and hiwaisted shorts are what’s popular right now. Hi-waisted color cutoff shorts are $46.50 and come in a variety of bright colors like sea green, sunny yellow and coral.

“A lot of feminine, flow-y skirts and dresses are also in,” Shapiro said. She noted that high-low skirts are really popular right now – skirts that are short in the front and longer in the back. Pleats, neons, florals and lace are popular and skirts

T

he summer season is officially here and fashionable Five Towners have been out and about wearing the latest trends of the season. Bright colors reign supreme for beach apparel, nighttime clothing and even office wear. Local store displays are in full summer swing with everything that is needed to stay fashionably cool this summer from lightweight, airy shirts to men’s bathing suit trunks to the perfect straw hat to block off hot waves from the sun.

Office Wear Schools will soon be out and pools are open for fun-in-the-sun playtime, but work still needs to be done in the office while the kids are off at camp.

Out goes the stuffy business attire and in comes lightweight linens in brights and whites. “Whites are really big for the season,” Jennifer Michel, sales associate at Banana Republic in Cedarhurst, said.

To maintain that professional look during the summertime, linen pants and blazers are perfect for a cool and polished look. Blazers made of linen and lightweight cotton are available at Banana Republic from $150 and airy office pants start at $89.50.

Michel said that, along with whites and khakis, full-color outfits are entirely appropriate for a business-chic look. Every summer, the clothing trends seem to get brighter and brighter, and this year flashy yellows and corals lead a pack of eye-popping color trends in fashion. Structured dresses are always an office must and can be found at Banana Republic in bright reds, hot pinks, corals and multi-colored patterns. Dresses range from $69.50 to $250.

Kendra Howard, sales associate at Rainbow in Lawrence, said a lot of customers were buying versatile brightly colored blazers. These necessary wardrobe pieces can be worn day or night, to the office or out on the town. Rainbow has a huge selection of blazers in a wide array of colors from neon pink to blue-andwhite sailor stripe to corals, yellows and whites.

Blazers at Rainbow range from $19.99 to $29.99 and the lightweight material will make them a wardrobe staple all summer long.

Bathing Suits Bathing suits are always a staple of any wardrobe, and the bright colors are taking over in this fashion category as well. Florescent pinks and yellows are found in one and two-piece suits, along with bright patterns and floral prints. “Patterns and leopard prints are also in,” Nalini Gobin, assistant manager of XSRE in Lawrence, said.

The store sells two-piece swimwear in bright and neon colors from $19.95 for tops and bottoms (they are sold separately). Onepiece suits are also always popular, Gobin said, and the store has plenty of fashionable pieces with cutout backs in bright solids and bright patterns. One-piece swimsuits start at $19.95.

Loehmann’s in Hewlett also sells a large variety of discounted designer swimwear and boasts prices at 30 to 65 percent off.

Animal prints are popular from brands like Michael Kors and Loehmann’s has these pieces ranging from $59.99 to $159.99. Cutout one-piece suits are also popular here, with cuts in the back, front and on the sides. Juicy Couture bathing suits are on sale at Loehmann’s from $44.99 to $99.99.

Swimsuits from this girly brand come in bright colors and patterns with ruffles at the bottom.

Beachwear is certainly not complete without cover-ups that can be worn on or off the beach. Gobin said sheer beach cover-ups in long lengths are very big right now, and XSRE has plenty for sale complete with embellishments starting at $19.95. Loehmann’s also has a large variety of beach cover-ups starting at $15.99. These designer pieces come in animal prints, bright colors and

around $40 and come in colorful patterns with greens, blues and yellows intertwined.

Another necessity for men this summer is, of course, the bathing suit trunk in a wide range of colors. Warren Robbins, buyer at Morton’s in Cedarhurst, said that men are buying board shorts over bathing suits now, which fit more comfortably without a traditional bathing suit’s elastic waist and mesh liner. Board shorts from surf companies like Hurley, Quicksilver and Billabong start around $45 and come in solids, colors and patterns. “Prints are big this year, but not the really busy patterns,” Robbins said. “Bright colors and fluorescents are huge and board shorts are definitely going a little shorter than previous years.”

Robbins said lightweight v-neck t-shirts are huge and Morton’s carries them in really soft materials.

Polos are still really big, as are plaid shorts and regular khakis. “Cargo shorts aren’t as popular anymore,” he said. Shorts at Morton’s range from $40 to $80 and soft t-shirts in bright yellows, pinks and turquoise blue start around $20. Robbins said a lot of striped patterns are big, but other printed patterns not so much. “Things are a little more cleaner in bright colors,” he said.

In the third movie of the Madagascar series, following Madagascar and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, the four Central Park Zoo animals that originally escaped the zoo in the first movie in 2005 are still fighting to get home to the Big Apple. The foursome has now ended up in Europe where they try to escape animal control by joining a traveling circus in hopes of getting back to the States. Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe’s adventure began when they were unexpectedly shipped back to Africa from the Central Park Zoo. Their journey ended abruptly when the animals ended up shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar. The first movie follows the group through their attempts to get off of Madagascar. Boarding a plane and travelling into the second movie, the escaped zoo animals end up crash-landing in Africa. The

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

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.

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-

As for tops, the more shoulders, the better. “There are still a lot of tops that are one shoulder, cold shoulder, or a cutt ad out sleeve. Plus, nobody has bad wing shoulders.

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.”

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 birthday dress, party dress, date dress, dress,” Danca said.

“It’s a more going out look. We have a few long, formal gowns, too.”

Scoring

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.

“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.

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.”

CONSERVATIVE VOICE

Primary Principles At Stake CONTINUED FROM P. A5 gress, and writing about Congress, I stepped up to run for this seat during the 2010 cycle.

Everything seemed to be going fine as our campaign gained momentum, earlier and at a greater magnitude than previous challenges to Rep. McCarthy. The top county Republican leaders, however, were strangely silent, and then they started looking for someone — anyone — they could throw into the race who could defeat my efforts. Most of the prospective candidates they spoke with, to their credit, declined. Fran Becker accepted even though he had no campaign and (he told me) had not even been thinking about Congress.

As several long-serving party regulars told me, this situation came about for no other reason but that I was not someone the County Chairman controlled— and he knew I could win. I was not beholden to him, and the very notion of a Republican primary had to be crushed, because it would weaken the chairman’s control over the process.

After his surprising last-minute endorsement, many people who had earlier expressed enthusiasm to support me suddenly said they could not do so openly, for fear of losing a job with the County or one of the townships. They feared that

would be their fate if they carried a petition for me, signed a petition for me, donated to the campaign, or even showed up at one of our campaign events.

When this intimidation still appeared insufficient to defeat me, my opponent took a cue from the political bosses and lied to the voters about me. Although I have been a lifelong conservative Republican, he circulated flyers that called me a Democrat and added that voters should elect a real Republican.

What made it all so disgusting was the fact that my prior service to Republican campaigns consisted of me giving without expecting anything in return.

And predictably, once he faced Carolyn McCarthy in the general election with little campaign organization of his own, the Democrats distracted the voters from McCarthy’s own appalling record by citing Fran Becker’s votes to raise taxes.

This year, I face a rematch with Fran Becker, and another round of intimidation and fraud has already commenced.

Just this week. Mr. Becker again called me a Democrat. Apparently, this remains more expedient than the truth as to why we have this primary: The bosses want to discourage, for years to come, any other Republican from building a viable campaign that they don’t control, thereby denying the voters a choice

of their party’s nominee. If they “win,” of course, expect many more years of a congresswoman we rarely see who is largely a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi.

The terms Republican and Conservative are empty labels when they are not backed by those principles that we need to alleviate the suffering of the people of our district. What power is left to the voters if they are forced to choose between candidates who have failed to fight to put the government’s fiscal house (nationally or locally) in order? The taxpayers are tired of those charged with stewardship over our government using their money to buy votes or fuel the other pernicious policies we know as crony capitalism. They are tired of leaders who put power over principle and who use the government as a means of self-enrichment. They seek leaders who embrace the values they want to instill in their children — not bullying and deception.

Before we can wage the battle of right versus left, we need leaders who choose correctly between right and wrong. We cannot validate those who would do all they could to render the Republican and Conservative labels indistinguishable from the worst practices of Chicago Democrats. That’s what this primary is about—that and whether we the people, not the bosses, will be the ones to shape our future.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Bye, Bye Baby CONTINUED FROM P. A5 did it!” Filled with enthusiasm, I cheered. “Great!” I exclaimed.

“What did you do?” Without missing a beat, she said, “Nothing.” I held back my giggle as she held my stare and walked out of the room.

Another key to toilet training is “house arrest.” There is no leaving the house for an extended amount of time – and I mean longer than it takes to drive around the block – until toilet training is basically complete. Accidents will happen so prepare wisely for your first outing by choosing a safe destination. The last thing you need is to derail the progress by getting stuck in a place where there are no acceptable facilities or where there is an automatic toilet. Nothing freaks out a toddler still learning to use the bathroom like a toilet that flushes on its own. (Frankly, it takes me by surprise, too, but that’s for another column.) Not only is it loud but it is also completely nerve-wracking, especially when the child is not yet done. In addition, kids like the gratification of flushing their own toilet.

Such was the case in Target – our first post-training desti-

nation. Immediately after arrival, we hurried to the bathroom.

My eldest stayed with her in the stall as she sat on the toilet.

Without warning, the automatic flush went off. Instead of playing it cool and assuaging my toddler’s concerns that she was not about to be sucked right into the bowl by the power of that flush, my eldest screamed. As a result, my toddler jumped off the seat and began to wail. As they exited the stall, my eldest looked at me and said, “I think she’s afraid of the automatic toilet.” Completely aware as to what had occurred and totally annoyed, I looked at her and asked, “Now, WHY do you think that is?”

One of the other funny things about toilet training is that the child is fascinated by the images on his/her underwear. That excitement begets a need to check one’s underwear often and show as many people as possible which characters are being worn at that time. A whole bunch of skirt lifting and innocent mooning occurs in an effort to display the underwear and share the milestone. While no harm is intended, it should still be discouraged. That’s another toilet training tenet to live by.

op a sense of performance anxiety as a result of toilet training simply boggles my mind. In an effort to monitor, regulate and train, an adult often stands over the child and waits semi-patiently until business has been completed. “Are you done?” asks the adult, peering from above, arms crossed. And while the adult is well-intentioned, there is still that underlying pressure placed on the child to perform on command, except in the case of my daughter. Like many other aspects of our lives, she is in control.

After informing me that she had to go to the bathroom and needed to take care of both bodily functions, we hurried off to the bathroom. She had finished the first and I waited for her to get to the second. “Are you done?” I asked her after waiting a while. She answered that she was, leaving me with an incredulous look on my face “But I thought you had to do more than pee?” I asked incredulously. Looking at me matter-offactly, she simply responded, “I changed my mind.”

And with that snarky answer, training has officially come to an end and my baby is a teenager.

Hewlett Brims Over with The Sound of Music CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Kevin Bayen, Music Director for the Hewlett-Woodmere School District, calls these students “band rats,” the ones who seem to always be hanging around the band, choir or orchestra rooms. Bayen has been part of the music program in this school district since 1979, being hired by the district after student teaching there in 1978 and spending some time teaching at a different school. Bayen was able to take the program from one only known for its band to one that is strong in all its ensembles.

“Our mission is to make lifelong learners and appreciators of music,” Bayen said. “We’ve built a full performing program, an all-encompassing program that gives a quality music education that kids value and teaches them what good music is about.”

But it’s not just about teaching music, Bayen said. “It teaches them how to work together, it teaches them time manage-

ment and how to commit to a thing that is larger than themselves.”

Approximately one out of every three students in the HewlettWoodmere School District is involved in the music program, according to the school district’s website. Music education spans all grades, from pre-K to 12th, with general music classes in the elementary school and more specific classes at the higher levels. As students get older, they are given the opportunity to try out different instruments and join the various ensembles the district offers.

The high school alone has over ten ensembles including multiple jazz groups, vocal groups, orchestras and wind bands.

Jim Dragovich, who has been teaching in the district for 28 years and is currently the high school’s band director, described the music program as being “well balanced” between the bands, choral and orchestral groups.

“It’s all about the best effort, not the great performance,” Dra-

Hewlett High School Wind Ensemble tuba players participate in the ensemble’s warm-up as part of their school day rehearsal before the spring concert.

The Hewlett-Woodmere School District was named one of the Best 100 Communities for Music education in 2008, 2009 and 2010 by the NAMM Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission of advancing active participation in music.

Hewlett High School is a Grammy Foundation Award Winning “Signature School,” an award giv-

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

Sounding the Alarm over The Schnorrer Bandit!

CONTINUED FROM P. A6 this was before The Great Recession hit. Before I started thinking innovatively, I was bringing home maybe $50 or $75 a day, tops. Since I started packing heat, and not taking “no” for an answer, my receipts have gone up tenfold! Tell me, wouldn’t you have done the same thing?”

O’Doul: Not in a million years! Bandit, you are scum and, an affront to all the honest beggars in the industry. You make me sick.

(At this point I dialed my cellphone and called the Fourth Precinct. I had trouble reading the touch screen in the sun, so I

held in closer to my face. After connecting with the Police station, I looked down and realized that The Schnorrer Bandit was sprinting to Peninsula Boulevard where he jumped in a waiting white minivan and the getaway driver sped off with the Bandit securely seated next to him. Despite my efforts to read the plate number, I only caught a partial, and provided it to the Fourth Precinct. They are now running all kinds of checks, utilizing the huge FBI database, but they suspect that the van was stolen).

My efforts, though well-intentioned, were in the end, not entirely productive – though I did succeed in confiscating

The Schnorrer Bandit’s gun and inflicted upon some serious wounds upon him, which may now result in his inability to fully use one of his arms, and to walk with a pronounced limp.

So, be on the lookout for The Schnorrer Bandit and proceed with extreme caution, as he is presumed to be armed and dangerous. Do not attempt to subdue him, but rather contact the authorities immediately. They are trained to deal with this particular brand of gun-toting gonif and they will not rest until this scoundrel is behind bars – where the only “schnorring” he’ll do is for his ‘one’ phone call!

en to high schools that are keeping music programs alive despite budgets and school politics.

But for Bayen, it’s not about the awards, which he calls “the icing on the cake.”

“The awards are nice but they don’t mean much if you’re not producing quality kids, quality music, a quality program.”

Every other year, the music program gears up for a trip for the various ensembles. The students have travelled and performed in Canada, Puerto Rico and along the east coast. Every four years, the students travel to Disney World and march in a parade along Main Street in the

enjoyable to see the depth of a person and music brings you there.”

This past week marked the spring concerts for the HewlettWoodmere School District. The culmination of their program, Bayen called the spring concerts the students’ “final exams.”

Spreading throughout the week, the district showcases their ensembles in evening performances for parents, friends and the community.

Part of the reason why the program has been able to grow throughout the years “has a lot to do with the philosophy of ‘from the ground up,’” Bayen said, explaining that the program and teachers pride themselves on being comprehensive for all ages and all musical groups. “Our strength is that all the teachers have the philosophy that this is a team.”

Being a part of the music program in the Hewlett-Woodmere School District has been a great experience for Bayen.

“One of the great things is that I still wake up in the morning and still like my job. The Hewlett music program will never disappear.”

And so it seems, neither will the kids who spend their lunch breaks giving a little bit more of their time to a program that has given them so much.

Besides travel experiences, students also are given great performance opportunities such as the chance to play at Carnegie Hall.

The ensembles have also had the occasion to work with composers of pieces that were currently in their repertoire. Bayen said the marching band was offered a spot in next year’s National Memorial Day Parade.

“Those things come up,” Bayen said. “Opportunities come and we continue to provide unique experiences and great memories for the kids. We build memories.”

Bayen said the success of the program is owed to the support from the community.

“You can’t have a program like this unless you get community support and Board of Education Support. The community is extremely supportive and the Board of Education and administration understand what it means to have a music program like this.

Too often today this is one of the first things to go.”

Eric Williams, current director of choral studies, said he enjoys the “opportunity to meet and foster the growth of many different types of students.” Williams has been teaching at the high school for 26 years.

“It’s fun to see what makes a person tick,” Williams said. “It’s

Wildcats and Eagles Split Double Header; Both in Playoffs

By Natalia Kozikowska

T

he DRS Wildcats of Woodmere secured their playoff spot in the Yeshiva League Finals after winning one of two games against the two time defending champions, the Ateres Yaakov Eagles of Lawrence in a double header last Friday. The Wildcats started their first game strong, scoring four runs in the first inning but were unable to score additional runs

for the remainder of the first game. The Wildcats won their first game 4-3, but lost their second game against the Eagles 2-1.

The Eagles bounced back quickly after losing their first game against DRS. Second baseman Chaim Shulman hit a two RBI single to second base in the bottom of the second. The hit allowed for David Waldman and pitcher Aharon Polatoff to make it across home plate and jump out to a 2−0 lead. The Wild-

cats did score one run in the top of the seventh but it wasn’t enough to defeat the Eagles. Going into the game, the Eagles were unsure if they would make the playoffs, but their 5−3 record was enough to help them advance and clinch the number six seed over the Magen David Warriors and the Rambam Ravens.

Coach Larry Gross of DRS admits that the Wildcats did not play as well as they normally do.

Hershenov also admits the second win over the DRS Wildcats was not easy. DRS Wildcat star pitcher Yitzy Schwalb also prohibited the Eagles from hitting any homeruns in both games. “Their pitcher pitched two unbelievable games and their defense was also really strong� he says.

Both the Wildcats and the Eagles have high hopes for the playoffs. Coach Hershenov says that he expects the Eagles to make it far. “We are the two time defending champions. We’ve been there, we know how to win games that need to be won
