County Wins MTA Payroll Tax Repeal HEWLETT EGG VANDALS NOT PERSUED BY NCPD

COURT SCOTCHES MANGANO PLAN TO VOID CONTRACTS

By Raimundo Ortiz

By Natasha Domanski

On Friday, August 3rd Far Rockaway resident Joe Guzzo was riding his bike on Dolphin Drive in Hewlett Neck, when he was struck in the leg by an egg tossed out of a navy blue car. He tore off after the assailants and was able to retrieve a partial license plate number.

Along the way, a woman who wishes to remain unidentified flagged Guzzo down and explained that she had seen the occupants of that same car egg two runners a short time before Guzzo was victimized. Together, they filed a report with the Nassau County Police Department’s 4th Precinct. In following up with the precinct shortly after, Guzzo was told that the license plate had been traced to an address in Atlantic Beach, but that was where the communication with the precinct ended.

built that will generate a larger clientele within the community.

Joel Baruch, owner of Gotta Getta Bagel, said he would want a new development built on the property that would bring more children to the neighborhood.

“I would love to see a ‘Y’ (YMCA) built there so there will be more kids all over the place.

Having a pool and kids playing basketball would be great. It would bring my business more customers,” said Baruch.

Valeria Perrella, manager of Gibson Custom Framing, said the neighborhood and local businesses would thrive with the addition of a new Jewish synagogue.

You wine some and lose some. Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano scored a victory in court this week and also suffered a setback.

Mangano proudly announced Thursday that his efforts against the State of New York and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s payroll tax, which became law in 2009 under Governor David Paterson, has been deemed unconstitutional. (See Editorial, Page A6) Mangano said that he made this lawsuit against the MTA tax a priority since he took office in 2010. “This success sends a strong message to job creators that we will not allow the MTA to stifle economic growth and chase jobs out of our state,” the County Executive said.

“This is a historic victory for tax relief and tax reform. I am proud that Nassau led counties and villages around this state to a tax relief victory.”

The tax was widely reported as a portion of the $2.3 billion state bailout of the MTA as it faced a record deficit. According to Mangano’s office, Nassau has paid $9.9 million in MTA payroll taxes since 2009, with County business owners having paid roughly $80 million per year.

County Attorney John Ciampoli reportedly said Nassau’s payments “were made under protest.”

Own your Own Church and Rectory for $1.4 Million

By Danielle Puma For $1.4 million, you could own the Woodmere-Lawrence United Methodist Church property. The church’s final service was held at 11:00 a.m. on June 27th and the property is now for sale in Woodmere.

The property is approximately 25,037 square feet with $186,321.78 in annual taxes, which would be exempt if purchased by another religious institution. The lot features a religious building and two former rectories, originally the sexton’s residence and “Heavenly Treasures,” the church’s thrift shop.

The property will be delivered vacant for interested investors, users, or developers.

Eugene Kim, Director of Sales for Massey Knakal Realty Services, said there has already been a good amount of potential inter-

est in buying the property and the agency hopes to have the property sold by the end of the year.

“There has been a fair amount of interest thus far from both religious groups and developers.

We are very early on in the marketing process. The prospects are a mix so far of those within and outside of the area,” said Kim. There have not been any decisions made in regard to who will buy the property and what will become of the religious structures. Some local businesses and residents in Woodmere said they would like something

Sunny Atlantic’s 31 Year Volleying for Charity st

By Raimundo Ortiz The sun was hiding behind gray clouds on an overcast Sunday afternoon, but to Syd Mandelbaum and David Weingarten, the weather couldn’t have been better. Mandelbaum and Weingarten are the co-directors of the Sunny Atlantic Beach Volleyball Tournament, Long Island’s longest running beach volleyball tournament.

Sunday’s games marked the 31st year of the tournament’s existence, and the first year back after Huricane Irene wiped out last year’s fun in the sun.

At the Sunny Atlantic Tournament, teams of anywhere from four to six members sign up, donate $30 per person, and are treated to food, beer, and a T-shirt. While the games are competitive, there is no bicker-

ing with the referees and everyone is more focused on having a good time. Mandelbaum, who has been involved with the tournament since its inception, is the founder of Rock and Wrap It Up, a charity he described as “an award-winning anti-poverty think tank.” Mandelbaum’s charity works all over North America to supply agencies with food, paper products, toiletries etc.

They gather these materials in a variety of ways. One huge initiative is called the Sports Wrap Project. Sixty-five sports franchises throughout the United

States and Canada, including all the professional sports teams in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Minnesota as well as all 30 teams in the National Hockey League donate any unsold food to Rock and Wrap It Up. Rhonda Pavels, whose husband plays in the tournament every year, works for Mandelbaum’s charity and picks up food after every Mets’ and Islanders’ home game. “After the Mets games we gather all the food and

Sunny Atlantic’s 31st Year Volleying for Charity CONTINUED FROM P. A1 I bring it to a mission for people who are in need,” said Pavels. “Sometimes my car is totally filled. Last time I picked up it was 28 trays of food. You have to pack it just right so that everything fits, and my car smells like hot dogs for days after.” A haul like that can feed hundreds of needy people, according to Pavels and Mandelbaum.

“I’ve been doing this for at least eight to ten years. It’s a terrific cause,” Pavels said.

David Weingarten, a close friend of Mandelbaum and founder of the Let All The Children Play charity, became a codirector of the tournament four years ago. After five years of development Let All The Children Play has opened up a two-acre handicapped-acessible playground for children with disabilities in Eisenhower Park.

By Raimundo Ortiz

“Our ultimate goal is to have all children be able to play together, children with disabilities and typical children,” said Weingarten. Weingarten, whose 27-yearold son Adam was born with Down syndrome, runs many programs at the park for all children, and not just those who are disabled. “We want to break down barriers with kids at early ages, so that they can learn to accept children with disabilities a lot easier,” said Weingarten.

As far as the tournament went, Weingarten’s Sunny Atlantic team participated in it and finished third. Weingarten may not have walked away with the title, but he was a winner regardless, because both charities received $450 in donations. “Putting the passions together of playing volleyball with raising money for two good charities is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway (HAFTR) The HAFTR PTA calendar is still incomplete, but one project they have put together is allowing the parents of kindergarten through fifth grade students to order school supplies through the “School Tool Box.” The rates are fixed and relieves the stress of last-minute scrambling for essentials. The “tool boxes” were priced according to the students’ grade. Parents of kindergarteners paid the steepest price at $107, while the first through fifth grade parents paid anywhere from $49-$90. The tool boxes include pens, pencils, crayons, markers, erasers, staplers, scissors, and even sanitizers.

Mangano also said earlier this week that he is being forced to slash more county jobs in order to save millions in labor costs after Federal Court Judge Arthur Spatt ruled Monday that a law allowing Nassau County officials to reopen closed union contracts was unconstitutional, according to Mangano’s office.

The County Executive was attempting to use the labor contract alterations as a source for paying the $41 million owed in mandated tax refund payments to Nassau property owners, and says now that he will continue with the County employment reduction plans he released on July 23.

The action was halted after a preliminary injunction was passed by Judge Spatt deeming that Mangano’s moves were unconstitutional because it would have violated a contract clause that defends the obligations of guidelines in contracts.

Judge Spatt explained in his report, “The mere passage of this law renders the collective bargaining agreements essentially meaningless and makes the contracts less binding, or not binding at all, on the coun-

ty. The likelihood of success on this constitutional deprivation is so great that irreparable harm is inevitably shown.”

Mangano said he has no choice, but to cut perks for County employees now, as well as jobs. “The court’s decision comes weeks after I implemented a workforce reduction plan that cut the total headcount by over 1,800 positions since 2010,” Mangano said. “My administration will continue to work to deliver services while protecting residents from a property tax hike.”

The details of the workforce reduction plan include cutting 200 additional Nassau County jobs, after Mangano previously laid off 128 employees in June 2011 and another 262 in December, as well as slashing capital improvement projects such as $15,000 for jail vehicle replacements and $537,000 for computers and office supplies used in the County’s offices, according to Mangano.

Local Legislator Howard Kopel (R-Five Towns) said that, unfortunately, the bulk of cuts have to come from where the money is, and right now because other types of expense cutting have largely been done, what is left is in salary.

“There are only a few ways

also planned several events, including a mother-son brunch, a father-son event, a mother’s day plant sale, and monthly Rosh Chodesh treats that coincide with each Jewish month. PTA co-president Yonina Wind added, “As always, we are excited to involve new and current parents and families in our programs and events.”

Rambam Mesivta The Rambam Mesivta PA is involved with a number of functions to to raise money for the school as well as bring the community closer together. Some of the events they have planned are a 5K run for both parents and kids, the creation of a school calendar, the organization of the lunch program, a father-son breakfast and Chanukah gifts for the faculty members. The Rambam Mesivta PA also foots the bill for the Athletic league and the Educational league which includes a chess club, debate team, and holds mock trials.

you can save money,” Kopel said. “I’m not in favor of cutting more CSEA jobs, if that can be helped. I think that the CSEA has certainly already been hit harder than the Police Unions, and the CSEA has been more cooperative than the Police. The PBA could do a lot more to ease expenses in ways that would not involve people losing jobs. It’s a shame that they aren’t cooperating. Instead of holding news conferences celebrating union victories over the County, PBA President Jim Carver and Sheriff’s Association President John Jaronczyk should be working to save money for the hard pressed families and businesses in Nassau County.”

Kopel is referring to that fact that police and sheriff’s department employees comprise 45 percent of all county workers in Nassau, which equates to $2.6 billion for law enforcement salary in 2012, according the County database.

“The only other way to close the budget is by raising taxes -which there is no room to do,” he added.

President of the Police Benevolent Association James Carver voiced his opposition to the County Executive saying that the law Mangano was trying to pass could have had nationwide implications. “Our founding fathers understood when you make a contract, whether public or private, you have to honor that contract,” Carver said.

Other social service agencies agree. Spokesman for Local CSEA leader Ryan Mulholland said that the unions can not be trampled by the local government, calling Mangano’s attempt at the law, “an attack on labor throughout the nation.”

Legislator Kevan Abrahams (D-Hempstead) is on Carver’s and the unions’ side, saying, “Instead of working on real solutions to fix the ongoing budget crisis, Ed Mangano again has wasted valuable taxpayer resources on another unsuccessful and costly legal battle.”

County Attorney Ciampoli disagrees. He said that the preliminary injunction shouldn’t matter for the already existing contract employees since some unions have already installed retirement incentives and voluntary furlough packages that will loosen funds for the $41 million deficit. Ciampoli said that despite the fact that Mangano can no longer alter employee benefits, he still has the authority to modify union contracts; sell county property; close facilities, if needed and reduce operations like installing voluntary furloughs.

Local Musician wants Sound of Music in The Five Towns

By Danielle Puma

T

hirty years ago, Toby Tobias of Woodmere was inspired to become a musician by listening to 60’s rock and folk music. That inspiration has kept with him as he has just created “Jammin’ In The 5Towns,” a diverse collaboration that brings music and entertainment to local residents. Tobias is now looking toward new opportunities that will bring more artistic and musical talent to the community.

Tobias wants talented Long Island musicians to be able to perform in venues that do not typically offer the opportunity to do so. He has been promoting his idea to restaurants in the area with flyers and his own personal explanations.

Toby Tobias plays his guitar and sings during a performance for ‘Jammin’ In The 5Towns.’

Hewlett Egg Vandals Not Persued By NCPD CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Guzzo called a week later and was told that when the detectives had information he would be contacted, but according to Guzzo, he heard nothing further. So he tried again and was told again that he would be reached when the detectives had information.

The Standard checked in on Guzzo’s situation, and according to the 4th Precinct’s records, Guzzo’s report was filed for “document purpos-

es only,” which means the report wouldn’t be followed up on and the assailants would not be pursued. Guzzo, however, said that he never specified that his complaint should only be for documentation. “”I never told them I didn’t want action to be taken,” said Guzzo. “You can’t make this up. It’s like bizzaro world. I absolutely want to press charges. I got a plate number, and I want to know who these people are so I can pursue my legal remedies.”

Guzzo also encouraged any-

one who has seen these attackers throwing eggs or have been victimized themselves to come forward. According to Guzzo, residents have told him that they have seen eggs splattered on cars on Friday nights before. The 4th Precinct, though, has not received any such reports.

Guzzo has no plans to let the matter fade away quietly.

“In no way, shape or form did I tell them to not go after them,” said Guzzo. “I’m ready and able to testify and cooperate with police, and pursue my civil options as well as my legal options. They can take someone’s eye out, and if it took my eye out I would have gotten a lot more attention.”

“I need the participation of some forward-thinking restaurants and real estate owners. I need them to be excited about bringing music and entertainment to The Five Towns.”

His concept is to create three to four different venues and have each one host a different genre of music on the same night. The venues would feature hip-hop, folk and jazz music, and even Beethoven quartets. Tobias would create a schedule for people to follow that want to have a night out, but stay local. “’Jammin’ In The 5Towns’will give people the opportunity to not have to leave the community, but be entertained in the community instead of going to the North Shore. There will be food, drinks, and great music.”

Tobias is trying to emulate other Long Island towns, like Huntington and Bayshore, which have a larger artistic community. He hopes that Five

Town’s residents will create a cultural buzz about his new ideas to help “Jammin’ In The 5Towns” become a reality.

“I want to make The Five Towns a hub and a cultural music destination for Long Island residents. We will have affluent venues that will be a host to beautiful acts by musicians from Long Island so that we can have musical and artistic happenings in Southern Nassau.”

If his ideas mesh well with local venues, Tobias has goals of expanding his ideas even further. He said he will be the man to sign off on performers from Long Island, and will give these opportunities to different types of musicians of only the highest caliber.

“If this works, we will have many concerts and shows. But only when [people and business owners] actually see the performances, will they know that this will work. I also want to bring this to Lynbrook or Valley

It would bring in more business and more people to the neighborhood. I’m going to do a mitzvah and spread the news about the property being for sale to some of my customers that are Rabbis,” said Perrella.

Benjamin Stein, a pharmacist for Five Towns Pharmacy, said Woodmere would benefit with a new business being built, rather than another religious institution.

“I would like to see something that will generate retail

business in this town. What it is, I do not know. But we already have two bagel places and a pizza joint. This town needs something that will be mainstream, not religious oriented, but in the secular vein,” said Stein.

Lynn Feldman, a resident of Woodmere, said it would be great to have a concert hall built that would provide entertainment to people within The Five Towns.

“It would be wonderful to have this property become a Mecca for entertainment. Maybe build a structure to have music concerts. We need something new and different I think.

Stream and build a nucleus of musicians that will play in The Five Towns or another neighborhood that wants to build a musical foundation.”

Two nights during the past week, Tobias and his singing partner, Cyndi Hazell, performed from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at La Cucina in Hewlett. The ‘Jammin’ duo performed sophisticated retro-acoustic music for the people enjoying their dinner.

Tobias said he hopes that their performance at the restaurant was only one of many to come to The Five Towns. He said these performances might interest people to get on board with his ideas and to talk about what it could bring to the community.

“This will expose people to different music styles and musicians from all over the world.”

Venue and restaurant owners interested in ‘Jammin’ In The 5Towns’ should contact TobyToby Productions at 516.850.4815 or email at toby@tobytoby.com.

It would be a great opportunity for a business owner and for the entire community. It would bring people together just like the church once did,” said Feldman.

Among these residents and entrepreneurs, they all agree that they would like to see the streets in Woodmere become livelier with a new addition built in the town.

“The town of Woodmere just needs a boost,” said Perrella.

The property for sale is located at 1023 Broadway in Woodmere. For further information or inspection, please contact the exclusive real estate agents of Massey Knakal Realty Services. Please call Thomas A. Donovan at (718) 512-2626, Tommy Lin, (718) 512-2609, or Eugene Kim (718) 512-2618.

Starting Hewlett QB Richman: Ready for Triple Option

By Ryan Lavis

W

hile most football teams might collapse after losing its starting quarterback early in the season, most teams don’t have a back-up option quite like the Hewlett Bulldogs’ Zach Richman.

A junior at the time, Richman essentially assumed the role of starting quarterback in 2011 after Senior Mark Rizzo suffered a hamstring injury three games into the season.

“It was definitely a tough transition, but the coaches, my teammates and all the seniors really helped me along,” Richman said after practice on Thursday morning.

After putting together an impressive year, head coach Jay Iaquinta decided to make it official, and called on Richman to lead his team as its starting quarterback for the 2012 season.

“He had a great season last year, and really stepped in last minute when we needed him the most,” Iaqunita said after a practice last week. “He should be one of the better option quarterbacks in a long time. He’ll really be the difference in a lot of close games.”

While no one would consider Hewlett’s 62-32 loss to the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes

mounted an impressive comeback in the second quarter before collapsing in the second half.

“They’re a very good team, but we fought hard and got the game close before we just

fell apart,” Richman said, who helped bring the score to 35-32 after he threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Sam Grill in the second quarter.

And although the Bulldogs were eliminated from the playoffs, Richman said the lessons learned from that game would help him and his teammates make a better run for it this season.

“Now we look to those challenges and difficulties and try to improve on the mistakes we made. We’ve been practicing all summer. We’re prepared for anything this season.”

And preparedness is definitely something new for Richman, who had little time last season to learn the difficult-to-master triple option offense, which requires the QB make quick decisions and take a tough hit from time to time.

“It’s pretty difficult to pull off, but I feel ready going into this season,” Richman said of the triple option. “I’ve been working hard everyday with the coaches to improve my focus on making the right reads. That’s really important for an option QB.” Besides practicing everyday –even when coaches don’t require it – Richman said he and his teammates share camaraderie on and off the field. They’re all friends and hang out on the

weekends, mostly talking about football and how they can improve their game.

And as for their game on the field, Richman said he’s excited about the fast team he’ll have running for him this year. With a speedy backfield and talented bunch of wingbacks, Richman said speed is his team’s strength.

“There’s a lot of talent on this team this year, and our speed is definitely what will push us this season.”

Richman started playing football in middle school, joining the JV-Varsity team as a freshman, but leaving during his sophomore year with an injury.

Coach Iaquinta convinced him to rejoin the team as a junior, leading to his starting QB spot this year.

And while Richman said he loves playing football, his heart is with lacrosse. He has played for almost ten years, and has committed to Tufts University for lacrosse.

But until then, he’ll continue to lead his team through any obstacles they may face this season as they make a push for another playoff run.

“Everyone on this team looks to each other for support,” he said. “It’s never just about one guy, it’s all about working hard as a team and listening to our coaches.”

ootball is a game that requires strength, stamina, durability and intelligence. Luckily for the Golden Tornadoes of Lawrence High School, they have an abundance of this type of player.

According to Lawrence High School defensive coordinator Jay Supple and head coach Joseph Martillotti, they will have five to six players playing on both offense and defense, as well as mixing some of those guys on special

teams as well.

“We always try to have our faster guys play both sides of the ball,” said Martilloti. “Ryan Fredericks was our main running back last year and he would also play strong safety so we would rotate Tyler Fredericks in just to give them each a blow.”

This season Tyler Fredericks is the top running back for the Golden Tornadoes and he will also play some safety and outside linebacker. His younger brother Jordan Fredericks, a slot wide receiver and occasional running back will rotate in at safety also, essentially filling the role Tyler vacated. Another wide

“Eddie Robinson has got a motor that doesn’t stop running and he never gets tired,” said Martillotti.

Yackov Shurin picked up a one-out single, then moved to third base on a single by Dovid Bloom. Unfortunately for The White Shul, Sruly Lieber couldn’t bring the run home and allowed Feldhamer to escape the inning unscathed.

In the top of the second, Shapiro was in top form, retiring the ďŹ fth, sixth, and seventh hitters in order. The White Shul offense was not as quiet in the bottom of the second. Yossi Feintuch singled to lead off the attack, followed by a two-bagger off the bat of Shapiro and another single by Charles Levine. Aaron Jonas followed that with a sacriďŹ ce y to center ďŹ eld that scored the ďŹ rst run of the game. Nesanel Feller singled to load the bases again but Mordechai Schecter couldn’t do any damage with the sacks full, hitting a weak grounder to Feldhamer who just ipped the ball home for the force out. Shurin was able to pick up his teammate,

however, slapping a single into the outďŹ eld that drove home Shapiro and Levine. At the end of two, The White Shul led 3-0.

Shapiro’s dominance spilled into the top of the third inning, which he kicked off by striking out the ďŹ rst batter he faced, then giving up a single to Jon Meyers before retiring the next two hitters in order. Feldhamer gave up a single and a walk in the bottom of the third, but didn’t let anyone score keeping YINW within striking distance.

The top of the fourth inning was just more frustration for the YINW batters, who hit the ball harder, in the form of hard shots to left ďŹ eld, but they were easily reeled in by The White Shul for three straight outs. The White Shul tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the frame, on an RBI double by Schecter followed by a run-scoring ďŹ elder’s choice by Shurin, which was his third RBI of the game. After four innings of play, YINW trailed 5-0.

Feldhamer tried to spark YINW offensively in the top of the ďŹ fth inning, crushing

a deep shot into left over the outďŹ elder’s head, then rumbled and stumbled to third base despite ringing protestations of his teammates from the bench. His hustle went for naught, though, because Shapiro buckled down and dispatched the next three hitters en route to his ďŹ fth consecutive scoreless inning. After that deating half inning, The White Shul blew the game wide open in the bottom of the ďŹ fth. A leadoff single by Lieber gave way to three more singles by Shapiro, Levine, and Jonas. Levine’s and Jonas’ drove in a run each, and then Feller piled on with a tworun double of his own. Shurin drove the ďŹ nal nail in the cofďŹ n with yet another two-run double, which brought his RBI total to ďŹ ve and pushed The White Shul’s lead to 11-0.

YINW did not give up. Hiller singled to start the engine in the top of the sixth, and was brought home by Ben Theiss’ single, ending Shapiro’s shutout. That run would be the only one he would surrender though, and it would also be the last run of the game.

The White Shul improved to 4-3 and will try to knock off undefeated Pick Wick on Sunday.

Lawrence has Players Who’ll be “60 Minute Men�

CONTINUED FROM P. A4 in the trenches. Four offensive lineman this year are doing double-duty on the defensive line, whereas last season the entire offensive line played only one way. John Perrone, Akil and Melik Mavruk, and Florian Capobianco, the older brother of quarterback Joey Capobianco, will join stud left tackle Islam Mohamed in paving the way for the running game and protecting the passer. Those players are also capable of ďŹ lling any spot on the defensive line. Coach Martillotti squashed any concerns of wearing out his hogs. “To be honest, they’re strong guys but they’re not fat guys as I call the linemen usually.

They’re in shape and they can move and they don’t have guts on them.�

Supple seconded Martillotti’s enthusiasm about the big men. “This team is probably the most well-conditioned and in shape team we’ve had in the seven years I’ve been here. I don’t expect them to slow down at all on either side of the ball.�

Martillotti also believes that his agile and versatile line will be able to withstand the mental grind of knowing several positions and the responsibilities of each. “This group is very smart,� said Martillotti. “This is probably the smartest group on the team in terms of their GPAs and SAT scores. We might have two Ivy League caliber linemen in terms of grades, so I’m not worried about overloading them mentally.�

With the inux of athleticism, these players are expected to improve a defense that was inconsistent and struggled with inju-

ries last season. Their attitude is also something that is being molded in practice. Coach Martillotti noted that Tyler Fredericks has bulked up and now carries himself with an alpha dog demeanor. The coaching staff has tried to instill that in the entire unit. “They should be hungry.

That’s what we’re stressing right now. Stay hungry and remember what happened to the defense the last time they were out on the ďŹ eld.â€? The last time the Golden Tornadoes took the ďŹ eld was at Stony Brook University for the Long Island Conference III championship, where they were beaten 78-61 by Sayville.

Tyler and Jordan Fredericks are also expected to return punts and kickoffs.

Victory over Unbridled Taxation

O

n Wednesday the oppressed taxpayers of Nassau and many other suburban counties won a victory over the tendency of New York State to impose onerous and unfunded mandates on its citizens. State Supreme Court Justice R. Bruce Cozzens, Jr., ruled that the MTA Payroll Tax is unconstitutional owing to the fact that “The MTA payroll tax is a special law, which does not serve a substantial state interest,” Cozzens wrote. The judge went on to say that “if this matter really is a substantial state concern, then the legislature could have reasonably taxed every county within the state under a general tax law,” but the fact that only some of New York’s counties were taxed makes it inherently unfair. Judge Cozzens also said that the tax was imposed without the State passing a “Home Rule” message with a two-thirds majority in each house of the legislature which would declare it necessary for the state to insert itself into local affairs, which is a violation of the state constitution.

The law was originally passed in 2009 under the leadership of former Governor David Patterson to help bail out the MTA from its chronic and never-ending deficits. It imposes a 34 cent surcharge on employers for every $100 paid in salary. This is a tremendous burden, particularly on businesses, on top of the already crushing raft of taxes businesses and employees pay to state and local governments already. The tax raises between $1 billion and $1.5 billion a year. Businesses with payrolls under $1.2 million along with schools were exempt from the tax before the ruling. The MTA will be appealing the ruling and they’ve prevailed on appeal on four prior occasions. They’re confident of winning yet again on appeal.

The lawsuit challenging the tax was originally brought by Nassau County under the leadership of County Executive Ed Mangano.

Other counties and organizations joined the suit.

The MTA Payroll Tax is part and parcel of a whole passel of never-ending taxes that afflict both businesses and individuals in New York. These unending fees and taxes have impelled three million New Yorkers to decamp for the Sunbelt since 1990 – it’s why on Yankee and Met games in Houston, L.A. and Miami you see so many New York fans in the stands. Government and the high cost of living just drive people away. Thankfully Mr. Mangano seems to get it. He’s held the line on any tax increases on the County level, he’s cut taxes and fees, downsized County government and cut costs left and right – and he deserves credit for initiating this lawsuit to repeal the MTA Payroll Tax even if the fight has only just begun.

For the MTA, there have been no end of news reports this year revealing numerous retirees with six figure faux-disability pensions along with lifetime health benefits, to such an extent that more LIRR money will soon go to pay pensions and benefits than to run the railroad. MTA services should be user-funded not subsidized by millions of people who never avail themselves of MTA trains, tunnels or bridges.

But New York is the deep blue state paradise it is because of the enthusiasm for these kinds of taxes and big government. On Wednesday, speaking at a New York State Democratic Committee policy conference in Manhattan, our Governor, Andrew Cuomo, boldly asserted that “The Democratic Party believes in government. Government is a vehicle for community,” and he went on to say “government can make your life better.”

We’ve got to give the Governor points for honestly speaking his mind here.

Interestingly, in New York only about 65 percent of those eligible to vote are registered to do so, which is the fourth worst voter registration rate in the nation. We surmise that many New Yorkers are apathetic about voting because they see the prospect of change as nearly futile, but Ed Mangano and Nassau’s successful lawsuit against the MTA proves its not impossible.

Good Work on Flood Insurance

T

here’s a lot to criticize about our Congresswoman, Carolyn McCarthy and our U.S. Senator, Chuck Schumer but they got something good accomplished this week for area homeowners and it has to be recognized.

Many homeowners are beset with the mandate to buy flood insurance. In 2009 FEMA promulgated flood maps of Long Island that had nothing whatsoever to do with the reality of our flood zones (only unbridled government can concoct such a thing and then take a decade to rectify it). If you won the lottery of having your home fall into a flood zone, flood insurance could very well set you back $2,000 to $3,000 a year, no trifling sum. There has been a preferred risk flood insurance program run by FEMA that offers the flood protection for between $200 and $400 a year. This program was set to expire on December 31st. This would have thrust hundreds of Five Towns-area homeowners into the insurance premium stratosphere.

Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Schumer prevailed on FEMA to extend these reduced-price policies indefinitely and FEMA has agreed to do so. How long “indefinitely” is, is anyone’s guess but for now homeowners have been given a reprieve and that’s a good thing.

Now we need to get FEMA to declassify inland homes as being in flood zones instead of relying on old Suffolk County extrapolations inaccurately transposed on Nassau neighborhoods.

COMMON SENSE

IT IS TIME TO SEND OUT THE CLOWNS

By David Freedman

N

ow that Mitt Romney has designated Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, let the fun begin! As one of those people in the middle of the political spectrum, I find it very difficult to figure out the particulars of this election season. Paul Ryan is a well-educated and informed individual whose policy ideas are stridently to the extreme right of those of the Republican Candidate Romney.

It is as if the Republican Party, unable to swallow Romney as their choice, has taken a look at a downstream solution. If Romney wins, Ryan can become a policymaker. If Romney loses, the extreme right has a viable candidate who is intelligent and cogent in ways which ensures Sarah Pal-

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.

in is not a viable alternative for them four years from now.

Mr. Ryan’s budget solutions are heavy handed against entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security and it needs to be seen if any of his ideas would mellow out if he was faced with really running the Federal government. But he is the face of the Right at the present time and his influence may be very strong in the next few years, regardless of whether he becomes Vice President or just stays in the House of Representatives.

In the middle of all this, the Republicans are dealing with a minor mutiny in Missouri, where the Republican candidate Rep. Todd Akins is trying to unseat the Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill. Mr. Akins using remarkably poor judgment stated in a television interview that in cases of “legitimate” rape, a woman was less likely to become pregnant. The National Republican apparatus has been screaming for him to give up his candidacy fearing that he has become damaged goods in a state that the Republicans targeted as one in which they had a good chance of winning. This would help the Republicans gain control of the Senate and allow them to control all of Congress.

Despite calls for him to ditch his run for the Senate, Rep. Akins has decided to stay in the race and has defied the party leadership, especially Mitt Romney. Mr. Akins stated in an interview

Unforgivable Free Pass

By Joel Moskowitz

W

hile there is a big brouhaha over dumb comments made by Missouri senate candidate Todd Akin about rape and abortion, everyone seems to be missing the greater story; that is, that anybody is paying attention to dumb comments made by candidates about social issues. To borrow from Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign; “It’s the economy, stupid!”

Todd Akin may be a moron, but if electing him to the senate will guarantee that unemployment would dip below eight percent for longer than five minutes he would get my vote. If Todd Akin can help solve the debt crisis, stem foreclosures, bring food prices down and wages up I wouldn’t care if he wanted to colonize the moon.

Republicans worry that his big, dumb mouth will prevent them from taking back the senate.

They were counting on Missouri, where incumbent Claire McCaskill, a Democrat is seen as vulnerable. By the time this goes to print I don’t know if Akin will still be in the race and frankly I’m not sure it will make a difference. The only story anyone cares about is how the economy is doing and whom he or she feels is the better guy to fix it.

I have a lot of reservations about Mitt Romney and readers of this column have seen my sentiments waiver from one direction to the other. However, there is one offense that President Obama has committed that I am having trouble

getting past. While I can only guess that a President Romney might have done the same thing, the bottom line is, Obama is president now and the buck stops with him. The decision of his Justice Department to announce that no prosecutions against the major banks or any of their top executives related to the financial breakdown of 2008, is inexcusable. It is proof that despite all the claims to the otherwise, Obama is not only not a left-wing nut but also a stooge of the moneyed interests, like the rest of Washington. His problem extends beyond that because despite giving the financial industry a “get out of jail free” card, they don’t support him in any meaningful way anymore, which makes that decision absolutely incomprehensible.

At this point I’m less inclined to give Obama’s plan for the economy much of a hearing because I realize now that under him nothing has nor will ever change. Granted, I do not expect any major financial reform under Romney, but at least the guy has a claim to knowing something about business. Under different circumstances my leanings would be towards an Obama-like candidate because on paper they support the 99 percent. Does anyone really believe that Obama supports anything other than getting reelected? Again, I’m not a Romney fan; frankly I’m not even a “Romney maybe” guy. But sometimes we have to decide between “eh” and “not so good.”

When I throw some other issues in that are important to me, I have a hard time making up my mind who I will vote for in November. One thing is for sure; I don’t care how much stupidity comes out of a candidate’s mouth, all I care about is what have they done and what do I believe they will do.

By giving the financial industry a pass while giving no relief to foreclosed homeowners, Obama has lost any reformer cred he might have had. We are stuck with a tough choice but sometimes we just have to consider cleaning house.

unday’s events would have made for a great column.

I had adamantly and furiously insisted my husband wear a tuxedo to a wedding I was convinced was “black tie,” only to arrive at the hall and see that only he, and the wait staff, were dressed alike . It was not one of my finer moments. But why would I bother sharing anything besides what just took place about an hour ago, the details of which have left me wondering if my life really is an ongoing practical joke.

To shorten the beginning of a long story, my husband and I had ordered a headboard for our bedroom. Initially told it would take six to eight weeks to arrive, we subsequently waited about four months. Delivery was scheduled and we were looking forward. The day before its expected arrival, we realized there would be no one home at the assigned delivery time for which we had been given a 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. window. Having left two messages in an effort to reschedule, and after the supposed delivery had never been confirmed, our calls were not returned and we went to work.

Throughout the day, I checked in with my husband to see if he had heard from them. He had not, and even after I arrived home, there was no note, message or evidence of an attempted delivery. Approaching 5:00 p.m., I again consulted my husband.

He sent an email to the salesman who helped us initially. About ten minutes later, we received a response and were informed that the headboard would be delivered in an hour.

At 7:00 p.m., our house phone rang. It was the delivery service from the furniture store. He said the headboard was on his truck and he wanted to know if we still wanted him to come. Having already put in a long day and with bedtime approaching for my children, I contemplated asking them to come back another time. I decided to go through with it despite the situation.

“Well,” I said with some frustration at the late hour, “so much for between ten and two” A simple explanation or apology on his behalf would have ended the entire conversation, but instead, all he said was, “Oops.”

“What?” I said, with some disbelief. “Oops??” I reminded him that it was five hours past the latest time for delivery and it was now 7:00 p.m. I explained that no one had confirmed the appointment to begin with and my repeated calls were left unanswered. I was about to start putting my kids to bed, and “Oops” was all he could say?

“Oops!” he said again.

Shocked at what I was hearing, I grew increasingly frustrated. “OOPS?” I replied. “Are

Shifting Our Tax Obligations East End Boys and West End Girls

By George Sava

W

hen Paul Ryan was picked by Mitt Romney as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, there was a great deal of celebration among conservatives. Paul Ryan and specifically the Ryan economic plan were lauded as the cure all for America. Arguments were made that Paul Ryan’s plan will afford all individuals tax relief while properly tightening the nation’s fiscal belt.

For those of you familiar with my articles and positions, you may know that I am a great proponent of both belt tightening and tax reduction. As such, when Paul Ryan proposed his economic plan I was interested in learning more. This was especially true after listening to the rhetoric that accompanied the plan’s unveiling. As I dissected the plan, however, I became concerned with the actual effect the plan could have on Nassau County residents.

My biggest concern with the plan, notwithstanding the federal tax cuts, is the budgetary cuts and shortfalls each of us may end up paying. This shifting tax burden could completely offset any federal income tax savings if not, in fact, placing us in a deeper hole. Consequently, although you may save mon-

ey in your left pocket, you may end up paying more out of your right.

Setting aside for the moment the great ongoing national debate as to the plan’s Medicare provisions, I would like to focus on the proposed cuts to education and the closing of current tax deductions.

In assessing the Ryan plan as to education, The Washington Post set forth that, “under a Ryan budget plan, transportation spending would be cut by 25 percent, assistance to the poor by 16 percent, and education and social services by 33percent.” According to the Hechinger Report, “Ryan is perhaps best known for the federal budget he proposed in April 2011, which included deep cuts to the federal Head Start program.”

When assessing current schools’ budgets it is clear that schools must meet specific levels to not only properly educate students but also to adhere to the multitude of unfunded mandates demanded by both state governments and the federal government. If funding is reduced, where do you surmise schools will look to make up any shortfalls? That’s right, you and me. Therefore, if there are in fact steep cuts to education, students will either have to go without, which is not acceptable, or our yearly school taxes

will become even greater than they are today.

The Ryan plan also seeks to close various tax deductions which are not just utilized by the wealthy in this country, but individuals at all economic levels. According to the Huffington Post, “The federal government would recoup some, but not all, of the lost revenue through the elimination of most deductions, including the popular mortgage interest deduction and the deduction for charitable giving.”

As such are we truly better off under this plan? To answer this question we would need a better idea of what specifically will be cut and by how much. Sadly, those are the types of details we rarely get until legislation has been passed.

I raise these issues because even in a Presidential election year the candidates still somehow fail to address all the details in their alleged blueprints for America. Instead, we are given general themes while political spin masters muddle the particulars. Tax cuts are needed, but they must be real tax cuts, real savings and not just a shifting of our financial obligations.

Wherever you stand on the political spectrum I do believe that most of us can agree that in Nassau County we have for too long paid too much in taxes. Humorist Will Rogers once said, “The difference between death and taxes is death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.” Before it could possibly get worse for Nassau County residents, let’s try to be clear on the details.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Murray’s Rain Barrel Program,What Residents Should Know To the Editor, Kate Murray recently announced a home based rain barrel initiative to encourage residents to be more environmentally conscious. The barrel is sold by the town for $45 and is used to collect water from your home’s gutters. Before you order one, you should consider some water usage facts.

The first thing is, this product is only useful for about seven months of the year, April through October.

Second, it is not really useful for watering a the lawn, unless you are watering by hand, because there is not enough pressure to run a lawn sprinkler. Yes you can use an electric pump, but this uses more energy than using the water you receive from your local water district.

Third, according to the United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) it takes about 24 gallons of water to make one pound of plastic. The barrel the town is selling weighs about 15 pounds. This means it took about 360 gallons of water to produce the barrel.

Fourth, residents need to look at how much they could potentially save using the barrel. In Franklin Square, where I live, residents pay about .19 cents per gallon of water. If residents were able to collect and use an average of 50 gallons of water (one barrel) per week seven months of the year, they would save about $2.70 per year on their water bill. With the cost of the water barrel being $45, it will take almost 17 years to recoup your investment.

If Supervisor Murray really wants to conserve water, she should reduce Town mailings. It takes 2.6 gallons of water to manufacture one sheet of paper. The Town of Hemp-

stead sends out about 25 mailings per year or two per month.

If Supervisor Murray eliminated just two mailings about 1.3 million gallons of water would be saved.

Supervisor Murray should also offer residents the option to receive town mailings by email.

For every resident that uses the email option, about 65 gallons of water and more than $4 in postage, would be saved each year.

Responding to Reader’s “Baseless Accusations” To the Editor, Last week (August 17th issue), Ms. Cindy Roter, a teacher in the NYC system has made some baseless and outrageous accusations in response to my August 10th piece, “Teacher Tenure Turns a Corner,” that need to be answered. Ms. Roter accuses me of being “just plain ignorant and ageist” for pointing out that the current teacher tenure system intentionally discriminates against younger teachers.

Well, it does.

New York’s teacher tenure system, at its heart, has two parts. The first is that, after three or four years, once tenure is granted, the teacher, in normal course, is guaranteed a job for life – no matter how effective, ineffective, or mediocre, they are in the classroom. The second is that, from day one, the teacher’s compensation is determined ONLY by the number of years they have been in the system, which roughly correlates to their age. Both of these are real problems. The first makes it impossible to remove a teacher simply for being ineffective or mediocre, and the second means there’s no economic means to incentivize quality teachers and that – that is what

is ageist about the tenure system. What could be more ageist than a system that compensates based on years not skills?

The system is unquestionably broken.

When these faults are laid bare, people like Ms. Roter refuse to tackle the problem, and instead dismiss it. The tenure system’s protection of bad teachers Ms. Roter claims is a non-issue. She says that the only problem with our tenure system – a system that guarantees lifelong employment after only three or four years – is just “in getting the one or two ineffective educators, and everyone usually knows who they are, out of the building.” And, she asserts that teachers get better as they gain wisdom and experience on the job – something I never disagreed with. If she is correct, far from lambasting my policy, she should applaud it.

My goal is to have the highestquality, most-effective teachers, teaching our children and do so while creating the most dynamic and responsive system possible. Certainly, I don’t believe age is a deciding factor in the quality of the teacher. Just the opposite, I know in most fields that more experience and commitment makes one better and it should be the same in education. But, at the end of the day, whether it is experience or energy, we should have a system that judges and compensates teachers on their quality and effectiveness – no matter how long they have been teaching.

If teachers truly do improve every year, then their compensation wouldn’t change from the way it exists now. If Ms. Roter is correct that there are very few teachers who are ineffective and should be removed, then the change to tenure’s lifetime employment scheme won’t impact the vast majority of teachers.

ack in the mid-80s a British group called the Pet Shop Boys had a number one hit single with “West End Girls,” which was a synth-pop song talking about class and socioeconomic differences in Britain.

Some of the lyrics are: “You’ve got a heart of glass or a heart of stone Just you wait ‘til I get you home We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past Here today, built to last In every city, in every nation From Lake Geneva to the Finland station In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls A West End town, a dead end world East End Boys, West End girls West End girls..”

Being Brits, the Pet Shop Boys were talking about the perennial differences between the posh West End of London and the hardscrabble low-rent Cockney East End and a tale of lovers from different sides of the tracks which is as old as Shakespeare and as 20th Century as West Side Story.

In the microscopic demimonde of middle aged Orthodox Jewish dating there is an emerging phenomenon of cross-hashkafa dating. Hashkafa is a Hebrew word which in Orthodox parlance refers to one’s “perspective” or “outlook,” referring principally to socio-cultural (which sometimes overlaps with socio-economic) preferences or differences. As I’ve written before, there are probably a half dozen major hashkafot, or socio-cultural groups within American Orthodoxy that have nothing whatsoever to do with theology but everything to do with what you wear, how you look and the image you project to the world. To a lesser degree it can manifest itself in degrees of observance, but more so on the style of one’s observance. The spectrum ranges from Modern Orthodox Liberal (my spot on the hashkafa scale) making stops at “Centrist,” ‘Center-Right,” “Yeshivish,” “Modern Chabad” and Haredi.

To non-Orthodox Jews (and to non-Jews not interested in social anthropology) this all can seem a bit mind-numbing. To Orthodox Jews who’ve found themselves single (or who never married) again in one’s 40s or 50s, one’s hashkafa is fraught with meaning – these are the “gang colors” that signal to would-be mates what your whole lifestyle is probably like.

My estimation is that there are perhaps 1,000 Orthodox singles in all of the U.S. between 40 and 55.

This is because most are married, whether happily or otherwise. At events and online, there is never more than one degree of separation between people in this demographic as everyone knows everyone, knows of everyone or knows someone who knows the other. Because of the paucity of potential mates there is a fascinating cross-pollination of people of differing hashkafot taking place.

Slumming (so-to-speak) are the “frum Barbies,” women who hail from Lubavitch (Chabad) or “Yeshivish” (black hat) backgrounds who because there are even fewer eligible single males in their world have been dipping into the Modern Orthodox dating pool. Although the guys might not fit with their families’ sartorial choices and Yiddishist mannerisms, these ladies, like everyone else would like a little company. The “frum Barbies” generally are very slim and pretty (hence they are confident), the divorced wear extravagant sheitels (wigs) of real Eastern European hair that can cost upwards of $5,000 to $8,000, which when combined with high-end makeup gives them a movie star presence, especially when they’re clad in skintight designer pencil skirts and equally skin-tight tops that leave nothing to the imagination. Although showing no arm skin and nothing above the knee, it’s actually quite a sensual presentation that in my view has not a thing whatsoever to do with “modesty.” Like all pretty women they want attention and adoration and they dress the part.

Many of these women are already grandmothers at 45 but they don’t look like it.

A lot of Modern Orthodox men will date up or down, meaning they’re happy to date the “frum Barbies,” but don’t want to be pushed into becoming “Yeshivish,” but they’re also dating outside of Orthodox parameters. Many ModOrtho men will go the JDate route and date non-Orthodox, also because of the dearth of dating options. A percentage of ModOrtho women do the same thing and sometimes find themselves “falling off the derech (road)” (becoming less observant) as a consequence.

As I’ve written before, there is an enormous aversion to commitment as the divorced (often for reasons of abuse of some kind) are once bitten, twice shy and many never- marrieds are petrified because of having never taken the plunge and are very set in their ways. For all the dating and partying that goes on, there are very few weddings in this demographic, unlike the profusion of nuptials among twenty-something Orthos – it’s like the polar opposite phenomenon. I’ve also

Academic Improvements Slated for District 14 Schools tion on the elementary level includes implementing the FOSS program (Full Option Science System) at Hewlett Elementary School & Ogden Elementary and Woodmere Middle School. FOSS is a research based science curriculum developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California at Berkeley with the purpose of improving the learning and teaching of science.

“We’re very excited about this program, and our teachers have been working all summer to make sure the curriculum follows national science standards,” Dr. Seinfeld said.

Administrators in District 14 are also planning an implementation of the Response to Intervention (RtI) program in literacy at elementary schools. Through a multi-tiered approach, admin-

ith the summer dwindling down to its last few weeks, kids in the Hewlett-Woodmere school district are getting ready for another year of learning, as administrators continue to prepare for the improvements and

changes planned for District 14.

The Woodmere Middle School has received a new, outdoor laboratory where students can take the things learnt in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations inside a fully functional lab. The lab will include a greenhouse and pond.

Ciampoli added that he does not think this will fix Nassau overnight, but that the

County is on it’s way to paying back what it owes to its residents.

istrators will provide additional support to students struggling with literacy skills.

Dr. Seinfeld said District 14 has hired a new district wide English language chairperson to help teachers implement these new standards and initiatives.

Mary O’Meara comes to District 14 with both administrative experience as well as teaching experience. Her reach will extend through all the grades, K-12.

In addition to a new English chairperson, District 14 has also placed Ed Tronolone as its district wide science chairperson.

At George W. Hewlett High School, students can expect to see three new AP course offerings. These include environmental science, comparative government, and microeconomics.

Besides administrative and

“Since the first day of my administration, I have approved the commitment of resources to ensuring that only the neediest of our citizens receive the assistance to which they’re entitled,” said County Executive Mangano. “Anyone who tries to cheat the system will be apprehended and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

curriculum changes, District 14 has also adopted some healthier food options for its school lunches in conjunction with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Dark green vegetables, legumes, fresh strawberries, low fat vanilla yogurt, watermelon and honeydew have been added to the menu. Pizza and pasta will also be offered as whole wheat selection.

And as with all the schools in District 14, Dr. Seinfeld said their most important goal going into this year is a continued alignment with Common Core Learning Standards, which are state-wide standards that help teachers ensure their students have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed by providing clear goals for student learning.

Area Yeshivas Taking Initiatives for 2012-2013

By Ryan Lavis

W

ith summer vacation on its last legs, it’s time for parochial school students throughout The Five Towns to put away the beach chairs and pick up their books, as administrators have prepared a host of exciting new initiatives for the school year.

Rambam Mesivta Hillel Goldman, Assistant Principal at Rambam, said the most important thing coming to this yeshiva high school for boys is a new, after school learning program for anyone interested in furthering their education about the Torah.

The program is optional for students, but Goldman said he expects that the boys at his school will take advantage of learning more about the Torah under the guidance of a Rabbi.

It begins at 6:00 p.m. on weekdays with pizza and drinks. Afterwards, there is an open learning session where the Rabbi walks around the room and offers his help as the students study.

From 7:15 to about 8 p.m., the rabbi will give a shiur. And from 8:30 to about 10 p.m., alumni, fathers and other teachers are welcomed to join the students for additional learning. “It’s a real transformative type of thing where you’re extending the school day so kids have more opportunities to learn,� Gold-

man said. “If someone wants to stay hours after school, there’s a rabbi there to guide him.�

They will also continue their popular Meet the Author Book Club, where students travel to different places to meet famous authors and engage them in conversation. Last year, students met Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point. Goldman said this year he hopes to bring his students to meet author Tom Wolfe.

Goldman said Rambam is also starting an honors Torah society. Led by Rabbi Haar., this program will allow students to further study Torah. Students who participate in the program also will receive a special distinction at graduation.

An artist rendition of the new, 7,500 square feet sports complex that will open this fall in Lawrence.

An EMT course is also being offered this year, with about 25 people already registered . “I think our new initiatives are

a refection of our values,� Goldman said. “We value the importance of learning and community service.�

DRS Yeshiva High School for Boys Administrators at DRS Yeshiva High School for Boys said they have added several new offerings for the upcoming year.

This year, DRS has added several new offerings including a new STEM course that combines science, technology, engineering and mathematics into a hands-on experience for students. This course comes to DRS from the Center for Initiatives in Jewish Education (CIJE).

In addition to this, students will also be working with a DRS teacher, and a science mentor from CIJE who will be at DRS once each week. DRS is also adding Mandarin to its language department and a Hebrew Ulpan class for seniors.

DRS will also offer AP English in the senior year as well as AP Physics and AP World History.

Changes to the faculty include the addition of Mrs. Madeline Rosenberg, who will serve as the new Director of College Guidance. Mrs. Rosenberg was formerly a guidance counselor for four years at Grover Cleveland

District 15 Makes Big Changes In Math and H.S. School Days

By Raimundo Ortiz

T

he new school year will bring about a litany of changes throughout all the age groups in the Lawrence school district, according to Assistant Superintendent Ann Pedersen.

The first significant change is new collaboration between St. Joseph’s College and the pre-kindergarten classes of the Lawrence schools. St. Joseph’s will be supplying the Lawrence schools with teachers and teaching assistants to get the four-year-old students on the path to success in the common core standards curriculum.

A second major adjustment is the switch to “GO Math!”, a new mathematics curriculum aimed at teaching the application of

math concepts as opposed to the “mile wide and an inch thick” approach, according to Pedersen. “We’re aiming to narrow the topics and address them in real-life situations,” said Pedersen. “We’re using textbooks much less and utilizing technology now.” “The GO Math!” system will be used in all of the K-4 schools. A third boost for the Lawrence school district entering this year is a $50,000 grant for the use of iPads to assist the special education population in all of Lawrence’s schools from kindergarten to high school.

The most drastic adjustment in Lawrence High School this year, according to Pedersen, is the switch from nine-periods a day to eight. The eight periods are longer and “allow for our students

Lawrence high school has changed the length of their classes for the upcoming school year, in addition to adding new programs and instituting some green initiatives. to have more time to be on task,” said Pedersen. This shift affects teachers as well, who now will be teaching six classes instead of five.

Students will find that the food tastes a bit different too. Aramark is now handling food service at Lawrence High School, a change

that has Pedersen very excited.

“They’ve been working real hard all summer to prepare the kitchen and the menus,” said Pedersen. “They are known for increasing access to breakfast. We have a stat that 74 percent poverty rate in our student population and that figure is arrived at by the amount of students entitled to free and reduced lunch. With Aramark the kids will be able to get free breakfast, which I love. A lot of research says a good breakfast fuels the body and the brain.”

Yet another big addition to the high school is the brand new vocational academy for general carpentry. Students who choose this route will still attend all of the normal classes, will take their regents and still be fully prepared for college, said Pedersen. The vo-

cational academy simply replaces a student’s science class and serves as an embedded science credit. “There have been times where students wanted to do vocational study and we’d have to send them to BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Studies), but now they can get it in district,” said Pedersen. Also, a small-sized, new special education class has been constructed to help certain students in danger of not completing their education by giving them closer and more focused instruction.

Finally, Lawrence High School has modified their photocopy machines and can now scan and e-mail straight from the machine, eliminating a vast amount of paper usage in an effort to be greener.

he fall is approaching and that means it is time to gear up for the school year. Parents receive back-to-school lists full of student success essentials. Not only does your child need to stock up

They sell plenty of character-favorite folders and notebooks and many won’t push you past $2.00 per item. You’ll also save on Sharpie pens, high-

lighters, and other school supplies that your child is sure to need for school.

COMMON SENSE

It Is Time To Send Out The Clowns CONTINUED FROM P. A6 with conservative talk show host Dana Loesch, “We can’t run from our shadows every time someone says ‘abortion.’”

As the Republicans have placed an abortion ban plank into their national platform, Mr. Akins’ views are not much different than many of his Republican colleagues. He just used incredible stupidity in how he said it publicly. The Missouri Republican committee now has to defend itself against the onslaught of pressure from the national party and they are not particularly happy campers when it comes to being told how to run their state campaigns. For Mr. Romney this is a test of his personal ability to lead his party.

Mr. Akins’ views are not much different than his running mate, Mr. Ryan. During this last Congress, both of these men voted for ten abortion restricting measures as well as those that limited family planning services.

The Republicans hoping to

gain popularity with women voters are not going to find the road any easier now. Women voters are leery of the restriction on their choices when it comes to their bodies.

Mr. Romney’s strategy of concentrating on the economy during this campaign now has to deal with exactly the kind of distraction, it can least afford to have. It also shows the clear cut divisions within the Republican Party. As we see constantly, extreme views rarely lead to anything important being accomplished in government. Just look at the infighting that takes place in Congress and at our local levels. Mr. Romney knows this and cannot be happy that the timing of all this is just before the Republican Convention.

As Americans, we are asked to choose sides in each election. We hope that when we make that choice, those we choose, can set aside their personal issues to work as a coalition to get our government

to provide what we need in a cost efficient manner. Profligate spending is a tremendous waste of our resources, but in the opposite corner, uncontrolled budget slashing also is a tremendous waste of our resources. There are some things governments does better than the private sector. The reverse is true as well. Private industry does certain things better than government. But we are faced as a nation with a reality that our oversized government has a slow rate of inertia. In other words, there are no quick fixes.

But as long as the extremists are fighting the battle, very little is accomplished beyond the status quo. It is time for the moderates to take back this country and work together for the common good. If an abortion bill can be used to hold up a government budget, then we really have to rethink who we send to represent us.

It is time to send out the clowns and bring in the moderates!

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Bang Your Head Here CONTINUED FROM P. A6 you kidding?” As if to make the events better and offer an explanation, he said, “I am not saying ‘oops’ to you or at the situation, it’s just that I’m high.” And while I will give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he meant to say he was “giddy” and not actually “high”, that moment confirmed a long held belief of mine -- that I really have heard just about everything.

He promised they were about five minutes away and though the hour was late, he did not think it would take long to install the headboard. “Fine,” I said, having decided that my being in the house when these guys were here as opposed to having someone deal with them was of utmost importance, despite my annoyance.

Upon arrival, they inspected my staircase and other areas of the house. I was then informed they did not think there was enough clearance to bring the headboard up the stairs and into our room. After asking him what the other options were, I then noticed he was looking out my bedroom window while saying something to himself. I immediately figured out his contingency plan. “You are NOT bring-

ing my headboard in through the window,” I said with complete annoyance and total authority. With barely an inch to spare, however, the headboard was successfully brought up to our room. I left them to do the installation.

Returning a few moments later, the three men were muttering to each other. “Is there a problem?” I asked. “We had to move the bed,” said the man with whom I had been dealing.

The beds had been pulled out from the wall, which I expected to happen. “They go back,” I said, knowing that they just needed to be pushed back into place. “No,” he said, “we had to move the beds.” All of a sudden, I understood what he meant.

Because of the light fixtures on the wall and the width of the headboard, our beds needed to be moved about seven inches to the left. Out came the preexisting furniture and with that, my husband’s side of the room was completely out of whack.

Things were scattered everywhere. At that point, however, there was nothing much to do.

They finished the installation and I met them downstairs.

“Please sign at the bottom,” he said, presenting the delivery slip. I signed my name in

The Giants will try to shake off a bit of negative publicity stemming from a video of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul dumping second-year cornerback Prince Amukamara into an ice tub, and instead use the momentum they gained in their 26-3 thrashing of the Jets to finish up their preseason on a high note. The Giants defeated the Patriots in last season’s Super Bowl, and also denied New England’s bid for a perfect season in 2007, another Giants Super Bowl triumph.

the box at the bottom. “Not in the box!” he screamed. “Not in the box!” Beneath the box was a line that read “Customer’s Signature” which I had not noticed.

At this point, however, I could not believe I was being reprimanded in my own home, especially after what had already taken place. “Are you kidding me?” I yelled back. With that, I resigned my name, gave them a tip, ushered them out and closed the door behind them.

Returning upstairs to look at our new headboard, I quickly noticed a terrible odor coming from my room. The smells of smoke and sweat were everywhere - a parting gift left by the delivery men. Even after opening the windows, there was very little relief. Finally, lighting a few matches and then quickly extinguishing them offered relief and the odor was gone.

Of course, I enjoyed the irony of using matches to rid my room of cigarette smell much more than getting yelled in my house by a man who admitted he was high. At least now, when I feel the need to bang my head against the wall out of complete frustration, I have a nice cushy headboard to soften the blow.

And thank G-d, it does not smell at all.

Ice Box Cake for the Last Hot Days of Summer

By EILEEN GOLTZ

Special to The Standard

A

nyone who has ever read one of my columns knows I am a huge fan of dessert. In fact, if given the choice, I’ll eat it first.

While baking something is my typical motis operandi when the temperature and humidity starts edging toward thermo nuclear meltdown my feelings lean towards less towards cooking and more towards how cold can I make the sweet for the end of my meal.

I suggest we all veer straight towards the quaintly named Icebox cake. For those of us not born before the 1930’s an ice box is the storage unit that was the precursor to the refrigerator where “big blocks of ice” were delivered to the home to place in the “ice box” to keep food cold.

Yep, this is how they did it in the olden days when we walked 10 miles to school each day (both ways up hill) and when the Slurpee ® didn’t even exist.

Ice box cake is a slight misnomer. It’s usually a dessert like recipe that contains layers of custard or curd or whipped cream layered between, cake, graham crackers, cookies or graham cracker or cookie crumbs. These layers of yummy “rest” or “set up” in the refrigerator (as opposed to the freezer) for a several hours or overnight so that all the ingredients evolve into a single, luscious, creamy cake like dessert that will remind you of an éclair, cake, cookie and the best thing you’ve ever eaten all rolled into mouth full after mouth full of delicious.

Now for the easy part, putting together you ice box treat.

For expediency sake most people usually opt for store bought cookies or cakes for the key ingredient because, like I said, I don’t wanna cook when it’s too hot. Sometimes though, you do have to make the cake or cookie as it’s a key ingredient of the recipe. That being said I typically make my own, whipped cream, custard, curd or pudding as I’m not a big fan of their “imitation” flavors. I usually avoid recipes that require gelatin as I’m not a big fan of the texture it creates.

Most of the following recipes are quite flexible and forgiving when it comes to the ingredients. You have the luxury, dare I say freedom to interchange most

Strawberry Pretzel Ice Box Pie of the ingredients and individualize your creations according to your (or your guests) preferences. Hate strawberries? Use raspberries or blackberries. Don’t like chocolate cookies? Use a vanilla or pecan one. Lactose intolerant? Get the non dairy whipped topping. Just remember, no matter what you put together, cold in 100 degree weather is always delicious. I am, however, making no comment on the amount of calories you will consume when you decide that leftovers are just not an option.

CHOCOLATE AND CREAM CHEESE ICE BOX CAKE • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix • 1 egg • 1/2 cup butter, melted • 1/2 cup chopped pecans FILLING/TOPPING: • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened • 1 cup sugar • 1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided • 3 cups cold milk • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant French vanilla pudding mix • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, egg, butter and pecans until they form a crumb mixture. Press the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes . Cool com-

pletely.

In the bowl of an electric mixer or food processor combine the cream cheese and sugar and beat or process for about 2 minutes or until combined. By hand, fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Spread the mixture over the top of the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

In another large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft set. Stir in nutmeg and extract. Spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serves 16.

• Unsweetened cocoa (or chocolate shavings) In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. On a flat serving plate, arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center. Spread with 1/2 cup whipped cream, making a 7-inch circle. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 11 layers of cookies and ending with a layer of cream (there will be a few cookies left over). Cover with plastic wrap

But Wilpon had the money and the wherewithal to conjure up the dead, and thanks to his real estate prowess, he constructed a memorial to his boyhood, transplanted to Flushing. Inside he even had an “Ebbet’s Club,” which drew much derision from Mets fans (the name of this club has since been changed). The rotunda entrance is a shrine to the late, great Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

East End Boys and West End Girls Wilpon may have resurrected with the architecture of Ebbet’s Field could also be the decades of bad luck that enshrouded that ballpark.

An exorcism (figuratively speaking) is called for. Robinson needs to be exhumed and removed from the rotunda and relocated elsewhere and Mets images put in that place. (In fairness, the interior of the park is much more Met-like lately). Something dramatic, aside from the flaying of Jason Bay and changing the rotunda also needs to happen and management needs to step-up and do it.

It is unconscionable to subject fans in a market like New York to the kind of perennial heartbreak and heartache the Mets dish out.

Maybe you can get away with it in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Kansas City, small-market towns with just one team but New Yorkers live in The Empire State – we

just had to make it. It was AMAZING! • 2 cups finely crushed pretzel sticks • 3/4 cup butter, melted • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries • 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk • 1/2 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened • 2 cups whipping cream, divided • 1/3 cup granulated sugar Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter and brown sugar then firmly press it on bottom, up sides, and onto lip of a lightly greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned then let cool completely. In the bowl of a food processor chop up the strawberries, brushing down the sides as needed until they are in smallish pieces but NOT puréed. Remove them from the bowl. Place the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese in the bowl (you don’t have to clean it out) and process until smooth. By hand, fold in the strawberries.

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat 3/4 cup whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into strawberry mixture. Spoon the strawberry filling into prepared crust.

Cover and freeze 8 to 12 hours or until firm. Beat remaining 1 1/4 cups whipping cream at high speed until foamy; gradually add granulated sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread over pie.

Freeze 1 hour or until whipped cream is firm. Serves 8

they form medium peaks. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. .

Spread a dollop of the whipped cream on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Place six graham crackers on top of the whipped cream. Gently spread more whipped cream on top of the graham crackers.

Place a layer of sliced strawberries on top. Repeat this process to create three more layers (total four layers of graham crackers and 3 layers of strawberry slices) End with a layer of whipped cream.

To make the frosting, in a microwave bowl combine the chocolate butter and ¼ cup cream. Heat just until the chocolate and butter melt. Whisk slightly and then add the remaining powdered sugar. Whisk vigorously to remove any lumps.

If there are lumps microwave for at 10 seconds and whisk again.

Drizzle the fudge frosting over the top. Refrigerate for at least four hours. Garnish with the whole berries. Serves 10 to 12.

expect, no, demand that we win at everything. Constant losing is an anathema to New Yorkers. It doesn’t matter that the food is better and the beer is cheaper at CitiField than Yankee Stadium – fans want to be in contention and not be humiliated for being fans. And New York has another, winning baseball team.

Now that the Mets are playing under .500, I’ve switched to wearing my New York Giants hat. Not that I’ll ever become a Yankee fan (you’d have to kill me first) but there’s only so much abuse a healthy, well-adjusted fan can take. On Monday evening more than 20,000 die-hard fans sat through several rainsoaked innings in the vain hope the Mets might pull out a victory from a late-inning tie. The bullpen, true to form, choked. If this continues, come September, ticket-holders or not, fans will just stay home in similar situations.

thing that my proposal would do is give administrators more flexibility. However, if Ms. Roter is wrong – if more than a negligible number of teachers are ineffective , and if time in the system does not directly correlate, 1-to-1, in teacher effectiveness and quality, then my system will give administrators the tools they need to fix the problems of our education system by compensating teachers according to outcome and dismissing teachers who are ineffective. So, why would anyone oppose these recommendations?

We all know the answer. Ms. Roter, an advocate of the tenure system, would rather keep the broken system than fix it.

In her own letter she recognizes our collapsing education outcomes, and shifts the blame from our teachers to “the influx of English Language Learners and former English Language

Learners” and the inherent difficulties of that population.

Well, our population is what it is. Families move in and out of areas and the demands change according to the population’s needs. If teachers can’t teach a current population effectively, then Ms. Roter makes my point for me: we must be able to dismiss those ineffective teachers and hire teachers who can effectively educate that population.

Either we are here for what is best for students or we care more about teachers’ security than our children’s educational outcomes. Does Ms. Roter really believe that her poor excuse, blaming educational outcomes on our children, is acceptable?

Does she really believe that we should continue to employ and pay teachers who aren’t able to effectively teach our students?

That would be ridiculous. It would be unfair to the students and abusive to the taxpayers.

The fact is that while Ms. Roter frames my argument as

in-line with “continuous teacher bashing,” nothing could be further from the truth. I think teachers can provide great services by effectively educating students in a way that opens doors for them. But, this can’t happen with ineffective or illprepared teachers or teachers who can’t or will not learn new techniques or adjust to changing populations. I want the best teachers possible for our children and to do that, I advocate two simple changes: compensating teachers based on performance, and allowing local school boards and administrators the ability to dismiss those teachers who are not effective.

No part of this should be controversial.
