HEWLETT-LAWRENCE SOCCER KICKING OFF NEW SEASON OF PLAY

By Ryan Lavis

By Ryan Lavis

While the Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Club has gone through many changes throughout its lengthy history, the club has continued to provide a welcoming atmosphere where kids have learned the fundamentals of soccer for over 40 years.

And with intramurals and league play starting Saturday, September 8, this year is no different.

“I think it’s a great thing that brings the community together,” Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Club President, Rod Leonhard said. “Every weekend there’s hundreds of people out on the field, getting to know one another and making new friends.”

Immigrants first founded the Club in the 1930’s, back when only adults were allowed to participate. But in the 1970’s, one club member decided to start a separate club for kids, calling it Blue Star Junior. Since 1981, the Club has played with the Long Island Junior Soccer League. Today, HLSC President Leonhard said the club enjoys its continued success, with its older team members winning championships, and its younger players learning the meaning of sportsmanship.

During 2011, the Blue Strike U-16 boy’s team won the State Championship against the Albertson Assault. And at this year’s Bob Schrager Memorial Long Island Cup, the Blues U-10 boys team won first place.

“We have good teams going out there again this year, so we’re hoping to see some big wins,” Leonhard said.

While registration numbers are a bit lower than usual, Leonhard said he still expects an influx of

At a public meeting last Thursday, members of the Nassau County Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) reiterated that they would not approve a 2013 County budget that included Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano’s proposed sewer privatization plan.

The Democratic leaning NIFA board members highlighted the financial woes currently gripping Nassau County, noting the county comptroller’s projection that Nassau will end this year with a $45 million deficit.

And with Mangano’s proposed budget due to the County Legislature by September 15th, NIFA board members such as Director George J. Marlin, urged Mangano to find a way to balance the budget without using revenue from privatizing sewers in Nassau County.

NIFA members originally rejected Mangano’s proposed $5 million fee to enter into a contract with Morgan Stanley to help privatize Nassau County’s sewer system. The deal would have required an investor to pay the County $750 million to finance the project.

And while the deal is still in the preliminary phases – with nothing yet set in stone – the

board vehemently rejected it on the grounds that taxpayers would lose in the end because that money would eventually have to be paid back to the investor, plus interest.

“When someone hands over $750 million, the lender expects to be paid back the principal amount plus a rate of return,” Marlin said. “In the case of a sewer deal, every citizen who flushes a toilet would be paying back for the next 50 years at $750 million, with an annual interest rate of 10-15 percent. The next two generations of Nassau residents would be paying everincreasing toilet flushing taxes so the county could receive ‘one shot’ dollars to plug the deficit hole in the current operating budgets. Taxpayers have every right to be outraged.”

Other board members also expressed this sentiment: “I’m sure there are worse ideas than the sewer borrowing. I just can’t think of any,” NIFA Director Christopher Wright said, warning The County Executive’s office that NIFA will not approve any budget that includes the sewer deal.

But Howard J. Kopel, a Republican legislator for the 7th District, said that NIFA “jumped

The School Bus: A Rite of Passage to Independence

By Ryan Lavis As Michael Sperber drove his big, yellow bus along its regular route to the now-defunct Number 6 School in Woodmere some 20 years ago, he encountered a common problem for school bus drivers – a misbehaved student who kept acting-out.

Sperber said he had a sevenyear-old Inwood boy who was on a “real tough streak” in those days, and would do just about

anything for attention from his peers. But as years of experience had taught Sperber, the best approach was a subtle, understanding one.

“I nicely spoke to the kid a couple of times about his behavior, and tried to understand where he was coming from,” Sperber said. “I kind of broke through his toughness, and got him to start acting a little better towards everyone.”

One afternoon when Sper-

ber picked up the kids from the Number 6 School, he called the boy’s teacher over to the bus.

The young rabble-rouser stood close-by, afraid that he was once again in trouble.

“Oh what did he do now?” the teacher asked Sperber.

“I just wanted to tell you that this boy has been so good on my bus. He gets along so well with the other kids, and he’s really

“Fix, Six, Seven, Eight!”

The Lawrence High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad is planning on bringing the heat this season. The 24 girls on the team are practicing new techniques, cheers and stunts to prepare themselves for the upcoming football games. The team’s first appearance will be at the 1:30 p.m. football game on Saturday against Glen Cove.

At the end of May, the squad had tryouts for the team. New-

comers are taught a cheer, dance, chants and jumps all within a week. Then they are asked to perform the routine in front of a group of judges, including the coach. Last year, 82 people tried out for both the varsity and junior varsity teams, and 55 people were selected in total. This year, the team has both veterans and fresh faces.

Valerie Perrotta, the head coach, said the squad practiced all summer and ended the season with a four-day stretch at a cheerleading camp. The girls

learned a lot of new material and have new half-time routines that they will be performing this fall.

“We had summer practice every Tuesday for over an hour at the high school. Some girls on the team had never cheered before. The varsity team is very experienced and talented so they helped with the JV team. The last week in August, we all went to Pennsylvania for four days to cheerleading camp. The Na-

Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Kicking Off New Season Of Play CONTINUED FROM P. A1 latecomers to sign-up. So far this season there are about 200 kids registered for intramurals, and 200 for the traveling league – down about 100 kids in each category.

“People tend to wait till the last possible minute to register, which creates a lot of confusion, but we don’t want to turn anyone away,� he said.

Some changes coming to the club this year will include sep-

arating the fall and spring seasons. Rather than pay in advance for both seasons, parents can now choose to register their children for either the fall or the spring. It costs $125, and kids receive a custom HLSC ball. There are also plans to hold a winter session, which will run in January and February. Registration forms can be found at HLSC.org.

Some initiatives carrying over

Sewer Privatization Nixed By NIFA; Mangano Unhappy, Pledges Not To Raise Taxes CONTINUED FROM P. A1 the gun,� in its condemnation of Mangano’s proposed sewer privatization plan. “At this time I’m not convinced of the wisdom of this plan, but I also don’t know enough about it,� he said. “The entire plan still hasn’t been laid out for everyone, so it’s tough to say I completely

reject something I haven’t even seen yet.�

Kopel, a Republican, said that this type of behavior is typical for NIFA, noting that the Democratically led oversight committee often strays from its original purpose, voicing its opinions in a more politically polarizing way than it probably should. “I just think it’s ridiculous to

say you won’t support this no matter what, just like it would be ridiculous to say you will support it no matter what. My job, as well as their job, is to wait until something is actually on the table, then look at it and form an opinion.�

The committee often butts heads with Republicans such as Mangano, as was the case during NIFA’s most recent board meet-

The School Bus: A Rite of Passage to Independence CONTINUED FROM P. A1 come a long way,� Sperber told the teacher, to the surprise of both her and the student.

More accustomed to bouts of frustration from his teachers than words of encouragement, the boy broke down in tears and hugged her after Sperber spoke his kind words. “It was an emotional moment and one I’ll always remember,� he said of that afternoon’s events, as he stood amongst a sea of yellow busses in the Independent Coach Corp. Inwood de-

pot on a recent Thursday afternoon. “Maybe he just needed someone to see through his toughness and put a little trust in him,� he said.

Sperber started driving a school bus about 25 years ago, after he left a job as a manager at an auto-parts store. He has also been a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter with the Lawrence-Cedarhurst

from last year include the clubs association with the Positive Coaching Alliance. The group provides information on positive coaching and holds workshops with coaches and parents. “We get all our coaches certiďŹ ed as ‘double goal’ coaches,â€? Leonhard said. “The ďŹ rst goal is to teach kids the game and try to win, and the second is to learn life lessons from youth sports

to combat the ‘win-at-all-costs mentality. We’re trying to give parents and coaches tools to be good role models, and trying to minimize the screaming parent running along the sidelines.�

Also continuing from last year is The Outreach Program of Soccer (TOPSoccer), which was designed to meet the needs of children with physical and/or mental disabilities. The Fall 2012

TOPSoccer season runs from September 9th to October 28th, for eight Sundays, 1:15-2:15 p.m. at Lawrence Middle School. “We’re looking forward to another great year for parents and their kids,� Leonhard said. “There are a lot of parents who played in this league when they were kids, and now they bring their own children. It’s really something special.�

ing, where Director Marlin aired a list of grievances against Mangano’s ofďŹ ce in addition to the sewer plan.

Marlin also spoke about other problems he has noticed in regards to Nassau County ďŹ nances, such as the county’s recent Veolia bus deal.

Marlin said that in December 2012, NIFA reluctantly approved the Veolia bus deal because, “we received the contracts at the last minute and did not wish public bus transportation to come to a halt on January 1st.� Marlin also

noted a Newsday editorial that pointed out the $106 million estimated cost for a private company to run the system in 2012 was off by $14 million. “Hence bus routes had to be eliminated and services cut to save $7 million,� he said. “The other $7 million came from an unexpected ‘one shot’ of federal and state aid that the county turned over to Veolia.�

Marlin also criticized the County Executive’s ofďŹ ce for it’s failure to cut $150 million of recurring labor costs, despite being

part of the 2012 budget. “The County has failed to comply with this requirement,� he said. “They are not close to reaching that number. The county has a serious credibility problem.

This is what happens when you govern by press release.�

In response to NIFA’s recent comments, Mangano spokesman Brian Nevin said, “County Executive Mangano welcomes any and all non-tax hike suggestions from NIFA that help close the budget deďŹ cit we inherited from the prior administration.â€?

ďŹ rehouse for over 40 years. He stopped driving a bus about eight years ago, being reassigned to ofďŹ ce duty. “I deďŹ nitely miss it, but now I have the time to sit back and reect on all my experiences over the years. When you’re actually driving you don’t get to appreciate things in the moment. But now I can sit back with a cup of coffee and think about the good times.â€?

Looking back after all these years, Sperber began to reminisce about watching kids grow up on his bus route, taking them from their ďŹ rst day of school to their graduation day. “I’ve had the opportunity in my years of driving of taking kids from kindergarten right

through high school. Now I see them as parents and they have their own kids. It’s a pretty cool experience.�

And while Sperber has seen many kids’ ďŹ rst school days, where parents clutch onto their children tightly for those last few seconds before they enter a world without them, he said the thrill of seeing a kid experience independence for the ďŹ rst time always leaves him feeling good about his profession. “Stepping onto the school bus is their ďŹ rst step out into an independent life,â€? he said. “I think most parents would be surprised to see how well their kids actually handle being on their own.â€?

Smiles Abound after First Week of School in Hewlett

t’s the first week of classes for most schools in The Five Towns. That means the days filled with swimming and sun are turned over to reading, writing and arithmetic. The elementary schools in Hewlett and Lawrence both end the day the same way as schools do all over the country. Children pack

up their backpacks with pencils, notebooks and crayons and wait for the school bell to ring. Outside on the front steps are the parents, eagerly anticipating their child’s return into their arms. With that comes the excitement from the kids to tell all about the painting they made in art class, the new

instrument they played in music class and the different animals that live in the jungle in science class.

It is 2:23 p.m. on Thursday afternoon and the last bell sounds at Hewlett Elementary School.

The children come rushing out in groups to meet their parents, excited to tell them about

what they did during their day at school.

Ben Lebouvich of Hewlett, a 2nd grader, said he had a good time in school because of his favorite subject. “It was fun because I had music today,” he said.

Another 2nd grade student, Emily Erdos, said she also really enjoyed music class. “I love it be-

cause the music teacher is really nice and funny,” she said.

Jesse of Hewlett, a 2nd grader, said “Lunch is my favorite because I don’t like doing work but I like food,” he said.

Emily Erdos, a 2nd grader, said she loves school because of the teachers. “One of my teachers is my favorite because she is nice,”

As the parents and their children cleared the front steps to the school, the yellow buses began to pull out to bring the rest of the children home. In any direction you look, you can see smiling faces on the children that spent their day learning and being around friends.

The Lawrence High School Varsity Cheerleaders are Bringin’ it this Year CONTINUED FROM P. A1 tional Cheerleading Association sponsors the camp. It helps the girls a lot,” said Perrotta.

The squad learned new techniques, stunts, jumps and cheers while attending the camp. Perrotta said she was very proud when two captains of the varsity team, Emonnie Bennett and Storm Hurst, both won the honorable All-American award while at camp. The other two captains of the team this year are Akanka Jackson and Janisha Sanford, both seniors at Lawrence High School.

“The captains do a lot. They teach the cheers and the dances we do during half time. I go between two teams, varsity and JV, and I’m the only coach so the captains have a huge responsibility. I tell them what I want to get done during the practice.”

Perrotta said choosing captains for the team involves a lot

of work on her part, but she also takes the time to consider the entire team’s opinions. The most important aspect to her, and for the squad, is who stands out as a role model.

“It has a lot to do with who is here and doing the right thing consistently. I want to see who stands out as a leader but what they do in school counts, too.

Failing classes in a no-no. Captains have to be an all-around role model and can work together with the team, while leading without becoming a dictator.

But everyone single one of them deserves it.”

While the captains lead, the squad begins their two-hour long practice with a warm-up meant to limit injury and improve flexibility. Some exercises include stretches, jump drills, rotating hip exercises, and running two laps around the school track. Perrotta said their typical

warm-up routine has been cut short since Homecoming is next week.

“On Friday, we are all going to decorate the football players houses for Homecoming. It’ll take a few hours so there will be no practice. We really focus on football and homecoming, that’s why we don’t do competitions.

At the beginning of Homecoming, there is a parade march that the team will be in. And then we’ll perform during half-time.”

The squad has a great crowd of family, friends, faculty and colleagues that come to support them and interact with what they are doing during the football games. Perrotta said the support is motivating for the squad and hopes the crowd will enjoy the new stunts performed at the first game.

“I hope to have the best season because I have very high expectations for these girls.”

The School Bus: A Rite of Passage to Independence CONTINUED FROM P. A2 Unlike most school bus drivers, who only drive parttime, Sperber managed to turn it into a full-time gig – driving kids from different schools to field trips and sports games during his off-peak hours. Sperber said most bus drivers only work for four hours – two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sperber twice got the chance to drive the Lawrence Woodmere Academy basketball team to the New York State Championship, where the team won both times.

And while Sperber doesn’t take any credit for their victories, the head coach at the time, Jeff Weiss, believed that Sperber and his bus were a lucky charm for his basketball team; So much so that during a home game Weiss actually had Sperber drive the team from the front of the school to the gym in the back, just so some of that good-luck bus charm might rub off on his players.

“They won every game I took them to, so he thought I was good luck,” Sperber said.

“I just enjoyed driving the team around, watching the games and witnessing how happy everyone was after their victories.”

Although the opposite was usually true if a team had lost – “Driving back after a loss was always tough. You could hear a pin drop, kids were so down,” he said.

Sperber, who is originally from Cedarhurst, now lives in Massapequa, and has never moved any further than that.

And after all these years of driving kids to and from school – watching them grow and giving them anything from words of encouragement to a tissue for a bloody nose – Sperber said he’s sure of two things: “When you get through it all, you realize that each kid is an individual and each kid is good. You also realize that kids love school busses. It’s a unique world for them, and I’m glad I got to be a part of it.”

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

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

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

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

No Solutions in Sight for Plane Noise TEXT AND PHOTOS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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-

A Day in the Life of a Local Golf Caddy

TEXT AND PHOTOS BY SCOTT P. MOORE

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

bit up. Give it a little extra.”

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

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

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

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

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

Hewlett’s Trinity Church Celebrates 175th Anniversary 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-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“They’ve never had such fun shorts before. There’s so used to the same colors — navy and

Sherri said. Soda pop bracelets and slap watches are a colorful and youthful way to add some life to any outfit.

llie’s Taxi and Airport Service in Hewlett will be taking part in a new initiative to keep Nassau County’s streets safer called the Taxis on Patrol Program. According to Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano this new program is intended to expand crime prevention efforts while increasing public awareness.

“It’s a win-win situation for everyone,” said Marianne Blessinger, owner of Ollie’s Taxi and Airport Service. It’s another set of eyes watching everything.”

According to Blessinger, all the drivers will be trained to patrol and instructed to be on the lookout at all times for suspicious activity. If they see anything they will report it to the dispatcher who then will contact the police.

Additionally, Ollie’s will receive alerts from the Nassau County Police Department in specific cases such as a bank robberies or a missing person.

“The bottom line is at the end of the day these drivers are in so many areas and see so much on the road that they can be a big help in catching things,” said Blessinger.

National “Gridlock” as Gas Line Replaced on Broadway

orns have been honking and lines of cars have been moving at a snail’s pace this week on Broadway between Woodmere and Hewlett this week, due to construction being done at the intersection of Broadway and Franklin Avenue in Hewlett that was beautifully re-surfaced mere weeks ago.

According to Wendy Ladd, a spokeswoman for National Grid, they have a program in place that calls for them to replace gas lines that reach a certain age. According to workers at the scene, the replacement was necessary because there was a high number of leaks in the gas lines which could potentially be dangerous.

The timing may seem odd because of the recent effort to pave

Lawrence All Set for Saturday Season Opener

By Raimundo Ortiz

T

he defending Nassau County champion Golden Tornadoes of Lawrence High School will start their season at home on Saturday afternoon against the ninth-seeded Glen Cove Big Red, a team that has given Lawrence fits in the past.

“They’re a funky team,” said Lawrence head coach Joe Martillotti. “Every time we play them it’s a chore because they’re a hard team to get ready for. We can’t really run what they do with our scout offense.” Glen Cove runs a single wing offense that relies heavily on misdirection and deception, and typically generates big rushing totals.

“They’re always big up front offensively and defensively and they have a bunch of tough kids,” said Martillotti.

Despite the trouble with recreating Glen Cove’s unorthodox offense in practice, Martillotti has studied film and believes his much-maligned defense is up to the task of stopping the Big

The Conference III champion Lawrence Golden Tornadoes getting some hits in before they take on Glen Cove on Saturday at home in their season opener at 1:30 p.m.

Photo by Raimundo Ortiz Red. “Our kids are going to know what their formations are, and they’ll know where to line up.

We are prepared, we just won’t have a true, true feel until the game begins,” said Martillotti.

The Golden Tornadoes will have to play a different style of defense to contend with all of Glen Cove’s trickery, according to the head coach. Lawrence will need to cover their gaps and “locate

the football and run to it,” said Martillotti. The defense will have players assigned to spy certain players on Glen Cove’s offense, and throughout the game these assignments must be strictly ad-

hered to said Martillotti. “Historically, and I’m going back 10, 15 years, when we play these types of teams we’ll do our job for six, seven or eight plays in a row and then when their guy’s not getting the ball they’ll peel off their man to make a tackle, and that’s when the fullback is running down the middle of the field.”

Another concept stressed in practices this week was the importance of tackling, especially against a team so reliant on their rushing attack. “We’re really stressing wrapping up and tackling as opposed to grabbing like we did last year,” said Martillotti. He said that the defense is raring to go and excited to prove that “they have moved past the injuries and the torment of last year’s championship game.”

Offensively, Martillotti expects his speed-heavy and experienced offense to be humming from the get-go. “We count the numbers in the box and if they’re giving us the run, we’re going to take the run,” said Martillotti. “If they load the box up we’re going to throw. We take what the de-

fense gives us and make them pick their poison.” Glen Cove head coach Peter Kopecky envisions a tough task for the Big Red on Saturday. He noted the high number of returning starters for Lawrence as something to remember, especially quarterback Joey Capobianco and wide receiver Eddie Robinson. “It’s an honor to play a championship team like Lawrence. Our coaches and players have great respect for their talent.”

The keys to victory for Lawrence will be their attentiveness on defense, and their tackling technique. “In practice I told the defense if I see one guy grabbing to tackle the whole team is doing up-downs,” said Martillotti. “It was good because we did one set of updowns and then no one grabbed again. Everyone was fitting up and running through their tackles.”

The game will be at Lawrence High School on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Visit Standardli.com on Saturday late afternoon for scores and highlights from the game along with complete coverage next week in the print edition and online.

Challenging Schedule Ahead for LHS Football

By Raimundo Ortiz

A

s Nassau County Conference III champions, the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will be the ones with the bull’s-eye on their chest, with the entire league gunning for them.

But who does Lawrence get pumped up for?

“We’re the defending county champs, and we are the oneseed so I know everyone is coming after us,” said Lawrence head

coach Joe Martillotti. “Week in and week out is a grind for us because we’re the top seed and there’s no relief in our schedule.”

One team that will get full attention and effort from the Golden Tornadoes is the Bethpage Golden Eagles, who were 37-19 victors over Lawrence last season in their only regular season loss. “The Bethpage game left a bad taste in our mouth last year, so that’s one that we’re looking forward to,” said Martillotti. He

stressed, however that his team cannot afford to look ahead to that revenge game. “We play Bethpage in week three and I can’t have them looking past weeks one and two.”

Week two is a home game for Lawrence against their local rivals the Lynbrook Owls. “We circle Lynbrook on our calendar every year. Lynbrook and Hewlett are games we look forward to because of the closeness of the schools. We always want to beat

those guys,” said Martillotti.

Another team that Lawrence is wary of are the Red Devils of Plainedge. “To me, Plainedge is the best coached team in our conference and they figure out a way to score points every year,” said Martillotti. “They have real tough kids and year in and year out they’re right there in the playoffs. Considering the way we beat them in the county championship last year (64-34) and they year before we knocked them

out of the playoffs, we’ve had a good battle with them the last couple of seasons.”

Martillotti stressed though, that every week is difficult and no win will come easily. “We’re talking about Glen Cove as the ninth seed, and historically they’ve scored points and given us problems. IF that’s supposed to be our least competitive game or the lowest seed we’re going to see and we know they’re a good football team then that shows

there are no down games.”

Bulldogs Prepared to Battle Bethpage in Away Opener

By Ryan Lavis

F

or Hewlett Bulldog Head Coach Jay Iaquinta, the big question for his team going into its opening game Saturday night against the Bethpage Golden Eagles isn’t one of preparedness, but rather ability.

“We’re as prepared as we’re going to be,” Iaquinta said during a practice on Wednesday afternoon. “It’s just a question of whether we’re as good as them.

We know how to stop them.

Now we just have to see if we can do it.”

And although he said his team is ready, Iaquinta acknowledged the challenges that come with playing Bethpage on any occasion – let alone as a season opener, under the lights and away.

“It’s a tall order,” Iaquinta said of his opponents. “There’s going to be a lot of excitement in the air, under the lights. But win or lose I think this experience will make us better down the road.”

Bethpage recorded an undefeated regular season last year, only losing to Plainedge in the playoffs, 28-14. Hewlett went 4-4 in its regular season, losing to Lawrence in the first round of

the playoffs, 62-32.

In the 2011 season, Hewlett suffered a string of injuries, which hurt them badly. In this upcoming season, Hewlett lost key players to graduation such as twoyear All-County running back Sam Martorella, All-County linebacker and running back Gabe Rodriguez, and quarterback Mark Rizzo.

While Bethpage has four returning starters – all offensive linemen – the team has also suffered some heavy losses this year to graduation, giving up a large part of its backfield and the quarterback. The Eagle’s new starting quarterback for the 2012 season is Junior Christian Ferruzza.

“Their weakness is that they’ve graduated a lot of skill kids, so they’re somewhat inexperienced and not really as athletic as they’ve been the last couple of years,” Iaquinta said.

In last year’s game against the Golden Eagles, Hewlett lost 2214. During that game, Bethpage used a run-heavy attack, picking up four or five yards at a time behind fullback Paul Bitetti. That offense, coupled with two turnovers, sealed Hewlett’s fate during that game.

practiced running a triple option, Iaquinta said that he will rely heavily on Richman’s arm against Bethpage.

“Zach can throw better than most people give him credit for.

We definitely plan on throwing more than we have in the past.”

The opening game is on Saturday, September 8th at 7:00 p.m. at Bethpage High School. Go to Standardli.com Saturday evening for game results and highlights along will full coverage next week in he print edition and online.

Hewlett Football 2012 Game Schedule:

A Hewlett Bulldog running the ball during practice, as the team gets ready for their opening game at Bethpage on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.

But Iaquinta said that Saturday night his plan is to reduce Bethpage’s running game to a minimum, forcing them to throw the ball more often than usual. Rather than allow Bethpage to overpower his team, Iaquinta and his Bulldogs hope to beat them on the edge with speed, throwing

the ball as much as possible.

“We’re worried they’ll try to overpower us with their size, so we’re going to try and make them go outside and throw the ball, which they don’t like to do.”

Iaquinta said he is most concerned about Bethpage’s inside running game, and their preference to

pound in between the tackles.

“If we let them pound us, then it’s going to be a long night. But I think our speed on the outside on offense is a lot better than theirs. Hopefully we’re as fast of a team as we think we are.”

Full Spectrum of Sports On Tap at Hewlett

By Ryan Lavis

A

s students and teachers returned to the classrooms at George W. Hewlett High School for another year of learning, coaches and athletes have also gone back to the fields and tracks for another season of fall sports.

“The coaches and players have worked hard to get ready for the fall, and everyone’s looking forward to another great year of sports,” Hewlett High School Athletic Director Jeff Malis said.

While the varsity football season kicks off on Saturday with a game at Bethpage, the numer-

Jeff Malis, Athletic Director for George W. Hewlett High School

ous other fall sports are also set to start in the upcoming week.

Varsity boys soccer has its first game on September 11th at home against Plainedge. Varsity Girls soccer also has its first game on September 11th at home against Floral Park High School.

Varsity girls tennis will have its first match on September 11th at home against Roslyn High School. And Varsity boys volleyball will play on September 10th at home against Plainedge, with the girls team playing on September 11th against Wantagh High School. And the Varsity girls swimming team has its first match-up on September 13th against Manhasset High

School.

“In general the fall teams have done very well over the last few years,” Malis said, noting the successes of the swimming and volleyball teams. “For the most part, our programs have been consistently strong.”

Malis also said that registration numbers are in line with previous years, as the various Hewlett teams fills up with eager players.

“Most kids who play sports in middle school, continue onto junior varsity, which then feeds the varsity teams,” Malis said.

“We never really have a problem filing up our teams.”

And while winning games

and championships is important to any athletic director, Malis said it’s more important that kids learn valuable life lessons from playing on sports teams.

His theory is that high school sports are a “microcosm of life,” where kids learn skills for the real world.

“You learn a lot of things on the field that you can take into the real world. Whether it’s how to work together as a team, how to accept defeat, or how to rise to a challenge,” Malis said.

“Most kids aren’t going to go on to play in college. It’s just important that they take some of those lessons with them when they leave the field.”

Woodmere Defeats Chabad for #3 Seed in Shul League

By Raimundo Ortiz

C

habad and Woodmere locked horns Sunday morning in a hotly contested battle for the number three seed in the Shul Softball League standings, and a date with number two seed Beth Sholom. When the dust settled, Woodmere emerged as 9-8 victors with Steven Slomnicki as their hero.

Chabad starting pitcher Avram Schreiber struggled early with what he called “bloops and bleeders� early on, surrendering two runs on a base hit

by Woodmere’s starting pitcher Avi Cohen. In the bottom of the ďŹ rst inning, Chabad was able to get one of the runs back after a string of singles was capped off by an Eli Kirsch base knock that drove in Zach Hatten.

The second inning was quiet for both teams, with a few scattered singles leading to no runs.

The third inning was when the ďŹ reworks show began. Woodmere squandered a scoring opportunity by stranding two runners on base before giving way

Mendel Geisinsky, the young son of Chabad captain Meir Geisinsky, led off the bottom of the third with a base knock over the ďŹ rst baseman’s head. The elder Geisinsky followed with a walk and then Schreiber singled to load the bases. Hatten and David Weissman then chipped in RBI

singles before Yossi Kraz cracked a two-run double, increasing Chabad’s lead to 5-2.

Now down three runs, Woodmere’s bats started to stir. Ben Gross singled to start off the top of the fourth followed by a Dov Sternberg single and an Avi Branzdorfer RBI double. Schreiber settled down after the two-bag-

ger, striking out the next hitter and inducing two pop-ups. Cohen clamped down in the bottom of the fourth for Woodmere, retiring three straight hitters after giving up a solitary single by Benji Horowitz.

Feeding off of Cohen’s stellar fourth inning, the Woodmere offense came alive in the top of the ďŹ fth. Kenny Sicklick kicked off the frame with a double and came home to score on a Seth Fried single. Cohen struck out swinging, but his teammates picked him up. Nossi Lieberman picked up a base hit and then Steven Slomnicki slammed a two-run double to put Woodmere back on top 6-5. They were not done, however. Branzdorfer and Mo Kleinman each chipped in RBI singles of their own to push the lead to 8-5.

Chabad wasted no time in responding. Meir Geisinsky led off the bottom of the ďŹ fth with a single, when Cohen appeared to be locking down Chabad’s lineup again. Schreiber and Hatten both ied out to center ďŹ eld and Chabad looked prepared to repeat their fourth inning perfor-

mance. Weissman stepped up though and reached base on a single of his own bringing Kirsch to the dish. Early in the game Schreiber referred to Kirsch as Big El, saying, “that’s what all his fans call himâ€? and talked up his prodigious power. Schreiber’s words proved prophetic when Big El tanked a shot into right center ďŹ eld for a game-tying three-run blast. Kraz ied out to center to end the ďŹ fth, but the damage was done and the game was knotted at eight apiece heading into the sixth inning.

Schreiber toyed with Woodmere in the top of the sixth drawing groundouts by Ari Ellenberg, Sicklick, and Fried in order.

Chabad’s offense cooled in the sixth inning as well, with only Andrew Goldstein managing to reach base against Cohen.

With the tension at a fever pitch, and the avoidance of undefeated Pick Wick in the ďŹ rst round of the playoffs on the line, Cohen helped his own cause with some woodwork, driving a single into the outďŹ eld to lead off the top of the seventh. Lieberman popped up to ďŹ rst immedi-

ately after, keeping Cohen stuck to the ďŹ rst base bag. Then Slomnicki dug in. Slomnicki spanked a Schreiber pitch deep into the outďŹ eld, bringing Cohen home while he motored to third for an RBI triple in the game’s most important moment. Woodmere did not score again, but they didn’t need to. In the bottom of the seventh, Hatten was able to record a single but their momentum vanished. Cohen held on to the win and dispatched Chabad to fourth place in the standings, good for the ďŹ nal spot in the postseason.

Top Four Teams in Shul League Playoffs on Sunday

By Raimundo Ortiz

T

his Sunday, the Shul Softball League elite will do battle to crown a 2012 champion. Undefeated, topseeded Pick Wick (9-0) will lock horns with the reigning champs Chabad (6-3), while Beth Sholom (8-1) will square off against Woodmere (7-2).

Bari Azman of Pick Wick is excited for the postseason to be underway and is proud of the job his team did during the summer. “I know that everyone is extremely proud of our sterling performance throughout the season. We played every game with mindset of team effort and truly enjoyed the competition.�

They were a dominant team in 2012, but Chabad is a crafty and experienced group that should not be tried with. In commenting on the season, Chabad captain Meir Geisinsky noted his

previous success last year. “This was a competitive season with some very good teams and a few that remind me of the days when we were 1-7.

But we were champs last year, so I know how fast everything can change.�

Beth Sholom’s captain Ed Miller said he was proud of his team this year and is looking forward to the playoffs. “Now, the second season begins. We wish all the teams in the playoffs good

luck but be assured Beth Sholom will be competing very hard in order to take home its second league championship.�

Beth Sholom will have their ace, Yehuda Konig on the mound Sunday, but Woodmere captain Nossi Lieberman feels his team is up to the challenge. “We had a great season full of exciting games, and we had a great defense. When you don’t make errors you have a chance to win every game, even against the top ight pitching of Beth Sholom, Pick Wick and Chabad.â€?

For the teams who were unable to make the postseason, the season was far from a loss.

Neal Bendayan of Young Israel of Hewlett (YIH) was pleased with how the team competed even if some of those games resulted in losses. “We did give some top teams a run for their money this season, although our record doesn’t show it.

Those games were really exciting for us and I’m sure for our opponents too.� Bendayan also said he was happy about the expansion of the league to 10 teams, which allowed for more games.

He thanked Commissioner Gordon Zisholtz and the team coach Ira Schecter for guiding them through the season.

Sruly Lieber, captain of The White Shul also enjoyed the year and noticed a changing of the guard happening before his eyes. “The league’s in a transition phase right now,� said Lieber. “Some teams have phased out some of their older players for younger ones. It’s sad on one hand, as those older players are an example of how to play the game the right way and emphasize fundamentals, whereas the younger players like to swing for the fences more and don’t always do the little things.

On the other hand the fresh

legs will make the league better and more competitive.� Lieber said he hopes that the younger players from more intensely competitive leagues don’t turn the Shul League into “the cats vs. the dogs� because it was intended to be a league of friendly shuls. As for his own team, he blamed the lack of a postseason berth on starting pitcher Eli Shapiro’s ill-timed vacation, and has now instituted a “nopitchers going on vacation rule� as well as a walk-count for wild pitchers.

Bendayan’s take on the league summarized the general sentiment of all the teams—“The great thing about this league is that it’s a friendly one, but everyone still takes it seriously and everyone is competitive.�

Playoff games begin at 9:00 a.m. Sunday at Lawrence Middle School with the championship game at 10:45 or 11:00.

Numbers Don’t Lie

n our lead editorial last week entitled “Political Theater,” we reported that President Obama was slated to deliver his acceptance speech on Thursday at the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte in a reprise of his similar al fresco speech to about 80,000 in 2008 in Denver. It seems that on Wednesday, the Democratic National Committee bailed on the stadium venue citing “weather concerns” and moved the speech indoors to the convention center.

The real reason for the venue change was that a lot of tickets to the stadium coronation were going begging (even for free) and the DNC didn’t want to deal with the specter and hand the GOP the unintended spectacle of thousands of empty seats. Press talking points issued by the DNC to their staffers were full of spin and rationalizations for the empty seats were the speech to have gone ahead outdoors as planned, so the DNC knew they would have been speaking to a half-empty house. Gone are the days when the Great Leader could put 100,000 acolytes in thrall.

No matter how impassioned the speeches were at the Democratic National Convention this past week (and many of them were delivered with great charisma, exceeding that of most of the GOP speakers the week prior) what the Democrats were selling was an alternate reality, like a whole different dimension of sight and sound, kind of a Twilight Zone where the most important things that matter are social issues and social engineering and money just isn’t important.

Social issues (whether you support the Democrats’ take on them or not) are a luxury for fat times. We’re in the seven lean years and a lot of Democrats don’t want to hear it. How lean are things? Well, let’s compare today to January 2009 when President Obama took office: In January 2009 unemployment was 7.8 percent. As of August st 31 , its at 8.3 percent with the numbers significantly higher in the big cities, in many Sunbelt and Rustbelt states, for minorities, for men over 55 and for recent college graduates who have but a 50-50 shot at getting any kind of decent job. Unemployment has been over eight percent through most of Mr. Obama’s tenure.

Median household income for Americans was $54,983 in January ’09. This was before the signing of his stimulus bill. By June 2012 and adjusted for inflation, median income had dropped to $50,964, which is a real decline of $4,019 in take home pay. One cause of this is the rampant underemployment that has highly skilled folks toiling away at lower paying jobs they’re overqualified for. This decline in household income is nearly double that which occurred from December 2007 through June 2009 when the Obama Administration says the recession ended, so that as The Wall Street Journal commented, “the Obama recovery has been worse than the Bush recession.” Another wallop to Americans has been the erosion of their buying power. Medical costs, food and tuition have all skyrocketed well beyond the rate of inflation. There are 46.7 million Americans on Food Stamps. An alltime record high.

Let’s also look at the cost of transportation. In January 2009, according to the Department of Energy, a gallon of gasoline was $1.84. On August 31st it was $3.82 and here on Long Island, good luck finding a gallon of regular for under $4.00 even at the cash price.

The cost of getting to and from work, ferrying the kids around, running errands and such has more than doubled. Fuel costs have contributed heavily to rising food costs. This erodes income and creates hardship. Wait until November when folks need to start heating their homes again and look for continued high prices to do so – much higher than January 2009.

And what about the national debt? Mr. Obama promised to cut the national debt by half in four years. In point of fact the debt was $10.6 trillion in January 2009 versus $16 trillion today according to the Department of the Treasury. Mr. Obama spends $1.23 trillion more a year than the government takes in. He has generated $5 trillion in debt in under four years which is a larger than all prior presidents combined. The $16 trillion debt is larger than the entire economy of all of Europe. The unprecedented government borrowing dampens the ability of individuals and small businesses to borrow and is like a lead weight on the whole economy. Owing trillions to China and Japan is also a thrill.

Mr. Obama says the private sector is doing “just fine,” but in the private sector, household incomes have been declining at a much steeper rate than those in the public sector. The public-private pay gap is now $63,800 for business and $77,998 for government workers. And public sector workers have generous government-paid health insurance and lucrative pensions that are pure fantasy to most average private sector wage earners. If you’re in the private sector and have to pay for all or a big part of your health insurance, premiums have risen more than 50 percent since the passage of Obamacare and are still climbing. Folks have been upping their deductibles and lowering their benefits to keep their premiums at manageable levels – all while the President promised that all Americans would have access to affordable health care – and he took $716 billion away from senior citizens to help pay for his plan that will still leave tens of millions of Americans uninsured.

Democrats are banking that abortion rights, gay rights, preferences for unions and public sector workers along with the killing of Osama Bin Laden will be enough to grant the President four more years. They say we’re better off today than in 2009. But numbers don’t lie and people know that there’s been a whole lot less beef on the table at dinner in 2012. In professional sports if a new coach took over a losing team and after four years didn’t produce winning results, you’d expect the coach to be replaced. Exactly.

IT’S TIME FOR “WE THE PEOPLE” TO TAKE OUR TAX CODE BACK

By DAVID FREEDMAN

A

fter a summer of some of the most contentious political discussion, I find myself baffled by both parties’ failure to grasp the situation that has befallen America and leads me to believe that nothing will really change after the election no matter who wins in November.

If Obama wins, he will have to make major changes in the way he operates as a person, not just a President. He is aloof, professorial and seemingly arrogant and frankly he ticks off the other side as well as his own people. Rahm Emmanuel, one of the most clever political thinkers, left his position as Chief of Staff early in the administration due to frustration. Richard Daley did the same as well because he felt he was not getting heard. He may be an inspiring speaker, I dare say electrifying. It is because of his speech at the Democratic Convention four years ago that I decided to vote for the man.

On the flip side, if Mitt Romney is elected, the

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 married with two children and is active in the community both politically and socially.

country will almost certainly do what it has done in the first year of a new Republican administration. They will cut taxes, strangling the country’s ability to pay for mandated programs and the country will slide into a recession as it has done for every Republican President since Eisenhower.

If you expect to hold on to your new job, get ready for a rough ride.

Unfortunately, most of these scenarios are predicated on simply the worst taxation system imaginable. If a camel is a horse designed by a committee, then it is a true reflection of our tax code.

I saw a picture recently of a man standing in the binding office of the Congressional Budget Office.

Our budget paperwork stood taller than him and in fact, there were several piles, just as high. We have built a tax structure designed to fail on every level.

When I was a student at the University of Mississippi where I got my degree in Economics, my faculty mentor took me and two other department teaching interns to have a few beers on a warm spring evening. We sat around a pitcher of beer and talked about our new President Reagan having to undue almost all of his tax cuts because, it made running the government impossible. My faculty mentor was a student of Milton Friedman and I disagreed with a lot of what he thought. But that night he looked at us and said, “Boys, if we really wanted to clean up the government, fund all our programs and build the economy, the solution is as simple as five and dime.” He then asked if we thought anybody would be opposed to paying five cents on each dollar earned. We all nodded that we wouldn’t object. He then asked if we

Oh, Jerusalem

By Joel Moskowitz

I

think there is one thing that Israelis, Jews and supporters of Israel from both sides of the political aisle agree on; no matter what happens in any eventual political settlement with the Palestinians – Jerusalem, in whatever shape or size, will remain eternally the capital of Israel. Jerusalem is not just a city; it is the symbol of Jewish people-hood, religion and unity. It is remembered at weddings, in its direction every synagogue places its ark and a longing to return there is sung about during all Jewish holidays.

I am one those (perhaps naïve people) who believe a peaceful settlement will eventually be achieved in the Israel-Palestine conflict, but I also know deep in the recesses of my heart that it will never happen, let me say again, NEVER HAPPEN at the cost of Jerusalem no longer being the capital of Israel. The Democratic party’s omission of acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in their platform is a loud and clear message that the Jewish vote is taken for granted and that Israel cannot expect guaranteed loyalty from a Democratic administration.

While there are so many other pressing issues to consider in this campaign and while I truly believe that Israel’s survival is not solely dependent upon American support, I am appalled that Jerusalem’s status has become sidelined for dubious political considerations by a major party. While supporters of Israel have become used to the wink-wink campaign promise to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem only to be disappointed as the presidential prerogative not to is extended year after year; at least the prom-

ise is made. Sometimes political pandering goes a long way in assuring a constituency. At least the signal that’s given is that while Jerusalem might be a complicated diplomatic hot potato, she will always remain Israel’s capital. That is no longer true and that shift has now set a precedent that there are mainstream American politicians who are willing to put all of Jerusalem into play. That is frightful.

As I watch the Democratic National Convention, I am struck by the mosaic of ethnicities not only on the stage, but in the audience as well. I was similarly struck by the seemingly all white audience at the Republican National Convention.

However, the RNC did not hang out a sign that said “No Jews Allowed,” the DNC just did. Democrats can no longer claim the mantle of being the party of inclusion when they just stabbed their most loyal constituency in the back and showed them the door.

Jerusalem as an ideal is non-negotiable. Jerusalem as the symbol of every Jew’s longing, be they secular or ultra religious is not negotiable. Jerusalem as the hope of 2,000-plus years will never go away. Jerusalem as the seat of government of the State of Israel will never be changed. The fundamental failure to grasp that by Democrats will haunt them in this election. States like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania with sizable populations of Israel supporters and that are extremely too close to call now, can easily shift on the issue of Jerusalem. If so, President Obama and the Democrats will have no one to blame but themselves.

Note: After I initially wrote this piece, the DNC held a voice vote to amend the platform to include a clause saying that Jerusalem is indeed the capital of Israel and another one recognizing God in the document. In what has to be a lesson in how NOT to plan a voice vote, the Democrats were embarrassed when they obviously could not muster an audible two-thirds majority to pass the resolution but declared it passed anyway. This was followed by very audible booing in the hall, leading me to ask why they bothered in the first place.

ith Rosh Hashanah approaching, the time for self introspection and review of the past year is very much upon us. And as I consider the last 12 months, I lose count of the blessings and opportunities I have been given because there are many.

Someone recently told me that G-d must really like me, and I think it is more than that. He has my back.

So when a car comes to my home and takes me to FOX Studios in midtown Manhattan, no one in my house blinks. It does not come every day and I am not on camera all the time. When I am on set, however, it is no big deal. Since crazy follows me everywhere, why shouldn’t something like this happen as well? Anything is possible.

The car arrives on time and battling the Van Wyck is not my headache as I sit in the backseat and prepare. Music blaring through my earbuds, I tune out the rest of the world and work.

The scariest thing about being live on national television, besides the moment when you realize you are live on national television, is that HDTV is not forgiving. Having previously declared that I have a face made for radio, I praise the wonderful work of the artists in the hair/makeup department. Besides being lovely to work with, they are good at what they do. Having done most of the preparation myself, I depend on them for touch-ups, and to undo the bad choices I may have made.

The first time I was there, the Governor of Mississippi waited patiently in the chair next to me. That was pretty funny. All I could think about was how when my segment was over, I was going to go home, take off my make-up, drive carpool and make dinner. He, and his two staffers who kept calling me “Ma’am,” were going to hop a flight and go run a state while I went to the store to pick up milk. And he was waiting for me to finish having my nose powdered? The irony.

Convinced that I have no sense of style or fashion (and for good reason), one of my daughters suggested I get a stylist. “Are you for real?” I said, rolling my eyes. “I do not need a stylist ,” I continued. “And do not even mention Rachel Zoe’s name.” Exasperated, she dropped it. I thought I was doing just fine until someone then reminded me that I wore orange on camera twice in a row. I rolled my eyes again. Seems no one cared what I said as long as I looked good, and the jury was not back on that one. Tough crowd, I thought.

Teenagers make the court of public opinion look like Romper Room.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

New York is on the Path to Economic Recovery

By HARVEY WEISENBERG

T

his past legislative session has been one of the most successful in recent memory, because we have been able to work across party lines to get things done and without engaging in partisan bickering.

We’ve enacted consecutive, on-time budgets that were fiscally conservative and balanced.

These cumulative budgets closed a $13 billion deficit without raising taxes or fees, while reducing spending. As a result, the credit agency Standard & Poor’s recently bumped up New York’s credit outlook from “stable” to “positive,” and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ranked New York in the top 10 states for economic performance this year – an 11-spot boost from last year. This is great news for us because it creates a climate where businesses can thrive and jobs can be created and maintained.

By working together, we’ve consolidated or eliminated many government agencies to reduce bureaucracy and save taxpayer dollars. This year’s state budget reduced the tax rate to its lowest level in 58 years for 99 percent of New Yorkers.

The MTA payroll tax, instituted despite my vehement opposition and negative vote, was an enormous burden on local small businesses and notfor-profit organizations. After years of fighting for repeal, we were able to repeal the tax for 80 percent of these businesses and all not-for-profits. I am very happy that a court has ruled against the tax, but it is necessary to continue fighting in Al-

bany for a full legislative repeal, as the MTA has expressed its intention to fight the recent court decision.

Last year, I supported the establishment of regional economic development councils, which foster a locally based approach to job creation. The Long Island Regional Economic Development Council is funding critical initiatives, like the Town of Hempstead’s Long Island Business and Workforce Investment Project. The project invests in worker training programs and helps local businesses with start-up and seed capital funding. South Nassau Communities Hospital in Oceanside has received funding to train employees to become certified instructors, upgrade computer skills and receive pulmonary rehabilitation training.

That said there is more we need to do, and that’s why I support raising the minimum wage. The current minimum wage has not kept up with inflation – it’s only gone up 10 cents in the last five years. Minimum wage earners tend to live paycheck to paycheck. Families lack the additional income needed to reinvest in our local economy, which then suffers as a result. Studies show that every $1 in wage increase for minimum-wage workers results in $3,500 in new consumer spending by that household over the next year.

We must continue to lower the cost of energy on Long Island so that we can attract new employers to the region and help current businesses grow.

Earlier this year, I sponsored the Long Island Power Authority Ac-

Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg represents New York’s 20th Assembly District which includes The Five Towns and Long Beach. He is the Assistant Speaker Pro Tempore of the Assembly.

countability Act, which for the first time required LIPA to undergo a comprehensive and regular management and operations audit. This will help root out waste and fraud at LIPA, and will help reduce energy costs.

I also sponsored the law that created a permanent, low-cost power program that is providing businesses and not-for-profit agencies with access to low-cost power in exchange for proven results of creating and retaining jobs. The Oceanside Jewish Community Center is now being provided with low-cost power, in exchange for maintaining a minimum of 500 jobs in our community.

I believe that renewable energy is another way we can reduce electricity costs in Long Island and create good paying jobs. This is why I supported the NY-Sun package of legislation, which expands tax credits for solar equipment and provides for power purchase agreements.

NY-Sun is expected to double the customer-sited solar electricity capacity that was added in 2011, and quadruple that number in 2013. New York is becoming a leader on renewable energy and green jobs.

Last, but not least we must ensure a college education is affordable. With today’s global economy a quality, affordable college education must be a top priority for us. That’s why I supported increasing state aid to Nassau County Community College in the current budget – the first increase for community colleges in five years.

I remain committed to fostering the growth of business and the creation of new jobs. By working with Governor Cuomo, we can continue to build on the successes of the last two years and make Long Island more affordable and prosperous for generations to come.

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

The Perfect Season

here was a famous sportswriter from the 1920s thru the 1940s named Grantland Rice, a native of Tennessee, he was the son of (and you can’t make this stuff up) Bolling Rice (I initially misread this as “Boiling!”). He worked at some of the biggest papers of his day, was nationally syndicated and is credited with coming up with the “Four Horsemen of Notre Dame” for the legendary 1924 game that year against Army at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan. I think more famously though, he’s the reputed originator of the phrase “it’s not how you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” This was originally written in 1927 as part of a poem: “For when the One Great Scorer comes To mark against your name, He writes - not that you won or lost But how you played the Game.”

(From the poem “Alumnus Football”) The ghost of Grantland Rice was very much in evidence on any given Sunday this summer as I captained a softball team in the Five Towns Shul Softball League for the first time.

For 15 years I played out in the Hamptons on Sundays for one of the synagogues out there and somehow managed to have a winning season each summer.

Clearly part of that run of success was multi-faceted: first, I was younger and my skills were better. Secondly, I played with a lot of the same guys for years and we developed a rhythm together.

Third, it is obvious to me now that the competition there was on a significantly lower level.

It needs to be said that here

in The Five Towns there resides a heroic figure by the name of Gordon Zisholtz who is the Commissioner of the Shul League and head of the Young Israel of North Woodmere team. He deserves accolades not only for all the mainly thankless work of running the league through the summer but also for succumbing to my relentless blandishments and entreaties over a six week period this spring to expand the league and allow me to form a new team for the Woodsburgh Minyan. You see, for me, softball is part of my DNA, formed as a little kid at sleep away camp and I just can’t imagine any given summer without playing. (Baseball is also heavily ingrained – see my many columns about being a long-suffering Mets fan).

Full of childlike enthusiasm upon hearing that Mr. Zisholtz extended an “expansion team” franchise to the baseball-mad residents of Woodsburgh, we set about recruiting a team from the more than 100 guys who belong to this little shul, sometimes referred to as a “shteible.”

We got 16 guys across a wide age spectrum to sign-up and even kick-in a few bucks for our league costs and for snappy looking hats and shirts emblazoned with “Woodsburgh” on them. We had practices for three successive Sunday mornings before the start of league play and we were feeling good about our prospects. Field of dreams.

Alas, Spring Training is one thing – the actual season is another. In this, our inaugural year, we managed to dazzle the league with a perfect record.

We went 0-9. We lost to exceptionally good teams and we lost to less talented squads that we should have beaten. Many an umpire remarked (in the first few innings) that we were better than other teams he’s seen.

We did have a talented group of guys. Ours was no roster of bench warmers. Some of us were very good in our day and some of us are twenty-somethings who are good right now.

The games all played out similarly – we were very competitive and very much in the mix for the first four innings or so.

Often we had a lead early in the game. We would hold even great teams scoreless or nearly so for a few innings. In most games, come the fifth or sixth inning (of a seven inning game) we would suffer a defensive collapse and our opponents would tack anywhere from three to eight runs (both earned and unearned) to render a victory near to impossible. We also could smack the ball but had trouble bringing them home. I lost count of the number of runners we stranded on base all season.

Our average run output was three per game. Generally not enough to win.

Employing every managerial strategy imaginable, we changed the batting order constantly. We rotated positions. We changed pitchers. It just didn’t matter.

Sometimes the softball karma just isn’t with you. But we got to play, for which all of us are grateful. More importantly, echoing Grantland Rice, it is very much about how you play the game.

All of our guys took the losses with grace, class and equanimity and they kept coming out every week anyway. At the end of each game we all congratulated the winning teams and to their credit, each team we played displayed the utmost sportsmanship towards us. I don’t know how we’ll do in the free agent market over the winter, what homegrown talent we can bring up or what trades we can make, but we had a great time. Our goal for next year is another perfect season, although this time maybe 9-0.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Flood Zone Problem Not Resolved To the Editor, Recently, residents of the FEMA designated “AE” flood zone in School District 14 were informed through newspaper articles and statements by some government officials, that legislation has been passed and enacted preserving the preferred rate of approximately $400.00 per year for homeowners, who are required to purchase flood insurance beyond the December 31st, 2012 deadline. The legislation forestalls the enactment of insurance rates, which could have gone to $3,000.00 per year, for an indefinite period of time contemporaneous with a mandate for FEMA to develop new maps for select areas of Nassau County. Local officials urged FEMA to take the suggested acts, as aforesaid, to avoid severe economic hardship on the owners of “AE” designated properties and to avoid economic chaos in affected communities.

The recent action taken by the federal government is understandable and appreciated by the “victims” of FEMA’s grotesque “AE” designations implemented three years ago. That process began when FEMA used maps created and based upon the geography and topography of the eastern end of Long Island and applied them to Nassau County. The implementation of those maps included FEMA changing the elevation requirement for exemption in some cases from “AE” (high

risk) flood zone status from eight feet to more than 11 feet.

At eight feet major parts of District 14 were exempt. There was and is no scientific knowledge or historical evidence to justify dramatic changes in the elevation requirement. I urge all District 14 residents to avoid being lulled by the recent legislation into a false sense of complacency. Nothing has really changed.

1-FEMA HAS NOT RESTORED THE EIGHT FEET EXEMPTION LEVEL WHICH WOULD IMMEDIATELY CORRECT PART OF THE NIGHTMARE THEY CREATED. 2-FEMA HAS NOT DEVELOPED MAPS CONSISTENT WITH NASSAU COUNTY’S GEOGRAPHY, TOPOGRAPHY AND HISTORY. IN FACT, THE PROCESS AND APPROACH BEING TAKEN BY FEMA REMAINS A MYSTERY. 3-THEY HAVE MADE NO PROVISION OR EXPRESSED ANY DESIRE TO MAKE PROVISIONS FOR THOSE HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE PAID MANDATED FLOOD INSURANCE PREMIUMS THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ENACTED, OR LOST OR LEFT THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO PAY THOSE REPUGNANT AND REPREHENSIBLE FLOOD INSURANCE PREMIUMS. However, also not to be ignored is the fact that three years ago local government officials had an opportunity to object to FEMA’s maps and chose not to do so. At that time the problem might have been nipped in the bud so to speak. Now local offi-

cials want us to revel in this recent legislation, although this legislation has not corrected the problem and more importantly HAS NOT RESTORED OUR PROPERTY VALUES. And yet these same officials are coming to us in this election year seeking our votes. They do that believing that we are either stupid or politically impotent. I would urge all DISTRICT 14 residents on Election Day to do the following: Do not vote for any of the candidates for U.S. Representative. Representative McCarthy has had three years to CORRECT this problem. For the first two years of the FEMA problem her party controlled the Congress and the Executive Branch of the government. With the stroke of a pen the President could have issued an executive order restoring the eight ft. level and Rep. McCarthy could have made more than 600 daily speeches urging that.

Mr. Becker had the same amount of time to fight and achieve the enactment of local county legislation giving tax relief to the “victims” of FEMA. After all, how do you assess the value of a house that cannot be sold??

Then there is Mr. Scaturro. He came to a meeting of the Valley Stream Community Association where he heard an expert totally discredit FEMA’s flood maps and the designations created by those maps. I have not read any statement by him indicating

Rosh Hashanah Begins Jewish New Year of 5773 Time for Reflection, Repentance and Celebrating with Family

By Raimundo Ortiz

T

he high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are rapidly approaching, a time of feasting, reflection and at times great stress due to fasting. Sometimes, the spiritual meaning of these holidays can be lost amidst the customs.

Rosh Hashanah literally means head of the year, and starts the Jewish calendar anew. According to Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum of Temple Israel, it is a time for Jews to reflect upon the past and make plans for the future. “We have to focus on ourselves, and our families, and our communities better,” said Rosenbaum. “We must make a commitment to making the world a better place.” According to Rosenbaum, Rosh Hashanah and the ten days of repentance that follow are defined by the Jewish belief that there is a God who is master of the universe and “hears our prayers, loves us, and wants us to treat our fellow human beings with love and kindness.”

Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim of Chabad of Hewlett said he believes the most important facet of Rosh Hashanah is for people to remember the real meaning behind the day, and he does his best to inspire people to be part of it. “Most people know Rosh Hashanah is a day of judgment, and normally a day of judgment would make you nervous and not want to eat or drink,” said Tenenboim. “But our custom is to eat lots of food and celebrate.” Tenenboim says the reason for celebration is that the holiday is all about re-connecting with God, which is joyous. This hopefulness and

warmth from a renewed relationship with God is the reason for the feasts and sweet food that is typically eaten on this day.

“The sweet food means we want to have a sweet year,” said Tenenboim while making the distinction between a good year and a sweet year. “Rain is a good thing but I can’t feel it. Sweet is something that I can really taste and feel.”

The second high holiday is Yom Kippur, which means the Day of Atonement when taken literally. Many Jews fast for 25 hours for this holy day and spend much of their time praying in their synagogues.

Rosenbaum said that Yom Kippur “gives us a chance to internalize and reflect on the commitment to change we’ve made.”

Rosenbaum also noted that Yom Kippur is a great time to think about visiting Israel for those who have never made the trip.

“Those who have not visited the State of Israel should do so. The rebirth of the Jewish state in the last 2,000 years is a miracle and a gift given by God to the Jewish people around the globe.”

Tenenboim chuckled at the notion of Yom Kippur as a day of suffering, which he said is a commonly held emotion. “The reason we don’t eat or drink is that we’re getting spiritual,” said Tenenboim. He said that the fasting is a way to focus solely on the connection with God. “Food and drink, and the things we do every day distract us from our relationship with God, and we should be happy that we’re getting closer to Him.” The high holidays are known as a time when many Jews who do not usually attend services come out and pack the shuls.

Tenenboim acknowledged this, but said

his high holiday services are not aimed at guilting people into going to synagogue.

“They main thing is to do what God wants and to be a better person,” said Tenenboim. “Not everyone feels comfortable coming to shul. There’s no commandments to always be in the temple. You have to live a good life and make the entire world a holy place.”

Rosenbaum invited the members of the community to attend Temple Israel’s Selichot service to usher in the high holidays on Saturday at 9:00. Shlomi Kofman, the Deputy Consul General of Israel in New York will be the guest speaker. For those who have not purchased tickets for services for the rest of the high holidays Temple Israel includes tickets with a one-year membership, and offers a special 50 percent discount for the first year.

Chabad of Israel’s High Holiday services will be held at 31 Franklin Avenue near the Hewlett train station. There is a suggested donation of $120, but Tenenboim stressed that if money is an issue all people are welcome. “Can you imagine if there were people wanted to pray to God but had no place to go?” For further information call (516) 295-3433. Chabad of the Five Towns at 74 Maple Avenue in Cedarhurst is also hosting services open to all. There are suggested donations of $120 for adults and $50 for children up to 12 years old. Their phone number is (516) 295-2478 The Sephardic Temple at 775 Branch Boulevard in Cedarhurst is offering free services open to the public complete with separate seating for those who desire it.

New Twists on Rosh Hashanah Brisket These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your Grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brisket Recipes

By Eileen Goltz

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Special To The Standard

T

here are two things that are fundamental for the perfect brisket, the right recipe and your family sitting around the Yontif table asking for seconds.

Brisket, that quintessential cut of meat that seems to grace our tables anytime we have to serve more than six is back in favor these days with the rush to cut carbs. While the cow is the usual source of the brisket the availability (both on the web and in the mainstream marketplace) of kosher bison, its lower fat content and its competitive price have made it almost as popular as beef brisket. The brisket is taken from the breast section under the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve ribs and divided into two sections, the ďŹ rst cut and second cut.

The ďŹ rst or ďŹ&#x201A;at cut has minimal fat and is usually more expensive than the more ďŹ&#x201A;avorful second or point cut, which has more fat.

No matter which cut you choose, the brisket requires a long slow moist cooking, must be cut across the grain and is equally delicious whether the accompanying sauce is sweet or savory.

The following recipes work equally well with beef or bison.

Nothing says Rosh Hashanah like brisket Since everyone I know is usually running around looking for their holiday machzors, setting the table and generally getting ready for shul, I recommend making the brisket a day or two ahead of time, slicing it, and then reheating it just before serving. The taste is just the same as if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just made it and not having any mess to clean up is just an extra added bonus. Quick note: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE CORNED BEEF BRISKET for a regular brisket. While the cut of meat is the same it has already been pre-seasoned by curing it in a seasoned brine and not suitable for any of these recipes.

SAVORY BRISKET â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tablespoons soy sauce â&#x20AC;˘ ½ cup coffee â&#x20AC;˘ 3 pounds brisket

½ cup catsup ½ cup chili sauce ½ cup honey 1/3 cup beef broth 2 teaspoons minced garlic Preheat oven to 325. In a large Dutch oven, brown meat on all sides. In a bowl combine the soy sauce, coffee, catsup, chili sauce, honey, beef broth and garlic. Mix to combine and then pour the mixture over the brisket. Cover and simmer on stove top or in the oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly and cut across the grain. This recipe can be made ahead of time, sliced, refrigerated or frozen and then reheated just before serving. Serves 6. This recipe can be doubled or tripled.

in a large Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 ½ hours.

Place the sliced onion on the bottom of a roasting pan. Remove brisket from Dutch oven and then place brisket on top of the onions in a roasting pan. In a saucepan combine apple butte, wine, mustard, green onions salt, curry powder and pepper. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the mixture from the heat and then brush ½ cup apple butter mixture over the top of the brisket. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, basting occasionally with remaining apple butter mixture. Makes 8 to 10 servings

Brisket with Portobello mushrooms and cranberries.

CONTINUED FROM P. B2 the mixture into a large roasting pan. Add the onion, garlic and rosemary to the mixture. Sprinkle the top of the brisket with salt and pepper. Place the brisket, fat side up, in roasting pan. Spoon some of wine mixture over top.

Cover pan tightly with heavy aluminum foil (but foil shouldn’t touch meat). Bake until very tender, basting with pan juices every hour, for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Transfer the brisket to a plate and let it cool about 1 hour at room temperature. Thinly slice brisket against grain. Arrange slices in

pan with sauce overlapping slices slightly. At this point the brisket can be covered and refrigerated, if desired, up to 2 days ahead.

To serve. Preheat oven to 350.

Place the mushrooms and cranberries in the sauce around brisket; cover with foil. Bake until mushrooms are tender and brisket is heated through, about 40 minutes if brisket has been refrigerated, about 25-30 minutes if room temperature. Transfer sliced brisket to platter and cover with sauce. Serves 8

GARLIC BRISKET (This is a variation of the classic chicken with 40 cloves of garlic was given to me by my neighbor who says she cut it out of a magazine 5 years ago and hasn’t made any other recipe since.)

• 30 to 35 garlic cloves, plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic • pan of boiling water • 3 tablespoons olive oil • a first-cut beef brisket (about 5 lbs.), trimmed of excess fat, wiped with a damp paper towel, and patted dry • 2 tablespoons red wine vin-

egar • 3 cups beef or chicken broth or low-sodium canned • 3-4 fresh thyme sprigs or 2 teaspoons dried thyme • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary • salt and freshly ground black pepper • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest Preheat the oven to 325. Drop the garlic into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Drain them immediately and peel the garlic as soon as it’s cool enough to hold.

Set the peeled garlic aside on paper towels to drain. In the bottom or a large roasting pan heat the olive oil over medium heat (one big enough to hold the meat in one layer). Add the brisket, and sear it on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a platter and set it aside. Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of fat remaining in the pan, and add the garlic cloves. Cook the over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic edges are just starting to turn light brown.

Add the vinegar and deglaze pan, scraping up all the browned bits

from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, thyme and rosemary sprigs, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Salt and pepper the brisket to taste on, and place it in the pan, fat side up. Spoon the garlic cloves over the meat.

Cover the pan with a lid or heavy duty foil and place the brisket in the oven. Cook, basting every half-hour, until meat is fork tender, 2 1/2 - 3 hours or longer. (As the meat cooks, check to make sure that liquid is only bubbling gently. If the boil is too rapid, the temperature is too high and you need to turn it down. to about 300). Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. Prepare the gravy.

Strain the sauce, saving the garlic but discarding the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Skim as much of the fat as possible from the liquid. Puree about one-half of the cooked garlic and 1 cup liquid in a food processor or a blender.

Transfer the pureed mixture, the remaining liquid, and the rest of the cooked garlic to a skillet. Add the remaining chopped rosemary and minced garlic and the lemon

zest. Boil down the gravy over high heat, uncovered until slightly thickened. Season to taste. You can puree all of the cooked garlic if you prefer a really smooth gravy.

Cut the brisket into thin slices across the grain. Serve on a platter with a little of the sauce poured over the top. Pass the rest of the sauce to serve with the brisket. Serves 6 to 8.

APPLE GLAZED BEEF BRISKET (This beef brisket is glazed with apple jelly and brown mustard and is perfect for any Yontif table.)

• Beef brisket, about 5 pounds • Water • 1 medium onion -- quartered • 2 cloves garlic -- cut into halves • 10 whole cloves • 1 (10oz) jar apple jelly • 3 tablespoons brown mustard • 3 tablespoons minced green onion • salt -- to taste • 3/4 teaspoon pepper • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder Place the brisket, onion, garlic

Crockpot Brisket and cloves in a large heavy saucepan. Add water to cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce the temperature to a simmer and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until beef is tender.

Drain the meat. Preheat oven to 325. In a sauce pan combine the apple jelly, mustard, green onions, salt, pepper and curry powder.

Bring the mixture to a boil. Place the drained beef in large roasting or baking dish. Brush the top of the brisket with glaze. Bake for 45 minutes, basting often. Remove the brisket from the oven and let cool enough to slice. Cut across the grain. Serve immediately, Serves 8 to 10.

Delicious New Takes on Honey Cake The Traditional Holiday Dessert is Turned on its Head

Rosh Hashanah is the time for Honey Cake

By EILEEN GOLTZ

Special to The Standard

O

h joy it’s that one time of year we get to eat honey cake (yes, this is sarcasm). Ok, before you get your yontif nose out of joint I will freely admit that I’m among the minority of the tribe that really never cared for this quintessential holiday treat. Probably not my favorite because my mom didn’t care for it either and she only served it (notice I said served not made, she always bought it) because my dad liked it, I think.

However, judging by the amount of emails I get asking for something “new” or “different” but with the words “honey” and “cake” in the recipe I’m betting that most everybody else on the planet who’s heading out to shul doesn’t want to leave home without at least a slice or two under their belt.

Jews consume prodigious amounts of honey along with foods and desserts made with

honey as a metaphor for a sweet new year and honey cake is right up there among the very popular holiday desserts.

These parameters in place, the following recipes are not your bubbie’s recipe but rather new and unique twists on a holiday classic. A quick tip, honey cake becomes moister and its flavors deepen a day or two after it’s made.

ORANGE LEMON HONEY CAKE (dairy or pareve) • • • • • • • • •

1 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon orange zest 3/4 cup butter or margarine 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed 3 eggs 1/4 cup milk or non dairy alternative • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) • 1 cup white sugar • 1 cup honey

• 3/4 cup water • 1 teaspoon lemon juice Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and orange rind. Set the mixture aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until blended. Stir in the nuts. Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 15 minutes, and then cut into diamond shapes.

Pour honey syrup over the cake.

For the Honey Syrup: In a saucepan, combine honey, 1 cup sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Serves 8

In a bowl of an electric mixer combine the eggs and brown sugar. Beat to combine. Reduce the speed then add the honey mixture, chopped apricot and whiskey and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan (the batter will be thin) and bake 30 minutes. Cover the top loosely with foil and bake until cake pull away from sides of pan about 30 minutes more until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 1 hour before you run a knife around the outside of the cake, then invert rack over pan and invert cake onto rack. Turn cake right side up and cool completely.

“Did you have a nice Labor Day? It’s the day we honor the American worker. When I say an American worker, I mean an 8-year-old kid in China.”

Last time the theme was ‘Hope and change.’ This year the theme is ‘Hope you don’t make a change.’”

–David Letterman

“A young couple got engaged on the floor of the Republican Convention. Thankfully for the Republicans it was a man and a woman.”

“Excited for Labor Day? It’s the weekend Americans take three days off from looking for a job.”

–Jay Leno

–David Letterman

–Jay Leno

“If you’re a donor to President Obama’s campaign, you were promised exclusive access to Joe Biden – and for an extra $10,000 absolutely no access to Joe Biden.”

“I always like how the politicians show how that they’re just regular guys. Like Obama says he likes to have a beer with people. And Romney said, when it comes to shopping, he chooses Costco. In fact, last week, he bought three of them.”

–Conan O’Brien “Chuck Norris said that if President Obama is re-elected it will lead ‘to a thousand years of darkness.’ Then he said if Mitt Romney wins, it will lead to four years of extreme whiteness.”

–Conan O’Brien “On Saturday the White House released President Obama’s personal recipe for a home-brewed beer. That’s how bad the economy is. Not only is our president drinking, he’s drinking beer he made in his bathtub.”

–Jimmy Kimmel “Two California Democratic delegates have already been kicked out of convention for getting completely drunk. One passed out, the other was accused of impersonating a member of Congress. They knew he wasn’t a real member of Congress because he was buying his own drinks with his money.”

–Jay Leno “The Democratic National Convention is under way.

For three days in Charlotte, N.C., everything the Democrats do is good. And everything Republicans do is evil.

It doesn’t bother me. I live in Hollywood. It is like that here every day.”

–Craig Ferguson “The Democratic Convention began tonight. What a difference four years makes.

–Jay Leno “A man in Florida has been arrested for wearing a President Obama mask while robbing a McDonald’s. To show you how good this guy’s disguise was, instead of a holdup note he was reading from a teleprompter.”

–Jay Leno “This Obama robber made some pretty scary threats to the McDonald’s employees.

He said, ‘Give me your money, or else my economic plan will have you working here for the rest of your life.’”

PREVIEW

–Jay Leno “A former Navy SEAL has a book out that claims Osama bin Laden was unarmed when he was shot. The book is called ‘Who Cares, He’s Dead.’”

–Conan O’Brien “According to The New York Times, more than half of President Obama’s Twitter followers are fake. They don’t even exist. Which is actually a good thing because if they did exist there wouldn’t be any jobs for them.”

–Jay Leno “Here’s what’s great about America. You can now buy waffle-flavored vodka. See, good things are happening under Obama.”

–David Letterman

COMMON SENSE

It’s Time For “We The People” To Take Our Tax Code Back CONTINUED FROM P. A10 felt that any business would object to paying a dime on every dollar earned. We also felt that there would be little objection, given what corporate tax rates were then.

So I will spell out what he proposed that evening. The common sense tax plan.

Personal income tax – 5% no exemptions period!

Business income tax – 10% no exemptions period!

Now I know some of you are jumping out of your seats right now saying, what about charities? They will survive,

because people give regardless and charities will have to adapt. What about capital gains – same ten percent, when its earned, it is paid. It is less than capital gains taxes are right now. I could go on with a thousand examples, but the bottom line is: Taxes are a necessary evil. No one wants to pay them, but we have to. It’s a fair deal for everyone. If you are a rich person, you pay the same rate as a poor person, but everyone pays, no exceptions.

Compliance issues would be a lot less complicated for the government, for the employer and the employees. The rate

I am proposing is so low that everyone should be willing to pay, on time.

Having proposed that, it will be a lot easier for the government to forecast needs, cut wasteful programs and do its job. It will stabilize the economy and will encourage investment because everyone is going to pay the same.

When I first heard this proposal some 30 years ago, I was totally skeptical. But time and experience has taught me that if a Congress can shut down a government over pork barrel items in a budget, then it’s time we the people took our tax code back.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Being Bold CONTINUED FROM P. A10 ble, I told her to get permission from her supervisor and meet me in midtown. While having my make-up touched up, I was told that I’d be doing a segment with Steve Forbes. Trying to stay calm, I said that was no problem, while inside I was screaming, “OMG - STEVE FORBES!” I immediately texted my husband. Almost instantaneously, he responded with quick bio information, including Forbes’s two presidential campaigns and that he has five daughters.

I laughed. “And like a bazillion dollars,” I wrote back.

Camera ready, we then head-

ed to the green room, where I noticed Mr. Forbes standing on the other side. After putting down our bags and seated on the couch, I then turned to Nomi. Forever the educator, I saw a teachable moment and decided to take it. “Sometimes you just have to be bold,” I said to her, and I stood up and walked across the room.

“Hi,” I said to Mr. Forbes, my hand extended. “My name is Miriam Wallach and we’re going to be on set together.” Warm and approachable, he shook my hand. “Hi,” he said. “I’m Steve Forbes.” Next thing I knew, we were exchanging business cards and talking about his tie.

Walking with me over to the other side of the room, he then introduced himself to Nomi. After he went on set, Nomi and I just stared at each other. We had just met Steve Forbes, who was sincerely nice, and I was about to follow him on national television. It was truly unbelievable.

Rest assured, I have put the business card in a safe place, lest it be touched by someone with dirty hands. I have been in touch with his office and intend on continuing a dialogue. Who knows? Maybe he’ll come over to dip an apple in some honey.

Stranger things have happened -- that is for sure.

have had three years to right a terrible wrong.

CONTINUED FROM P. A11 that a priority for him would be the elimination of the “AE” designation by FEMA for parts of the congressional district for which he seeks elected office .

In my brief political adventure a year and a half ago I learned one basic postulate.

Politicians and government officials count votes and respond to vote counts. I would strongly suggest that all of my fellow District 14 residents consider the following: 1- Instead of voting for any of the listed candidates for U.S Representative, write in a name. IT CAN BE YOUR NAME OR THE NAME OF ANY ELIGIBLE RESIDENT OF our district. If we withhold our votes for that office in this election, two years from now we will be considered a united voting bloc and candidates will seek our vote and begin to take concrete steps to obtain that vote. Remember, you have an absolute right to write in your choice for Congress.

2-Do not vote for President Obama. He has had the power to correct the FEMA problem from its inception. When the former director of FEMA messed up the Katrina situation in New Orleans, Pres. Bush replaced him. The President has failed affected residents of District 14.

Remember, if you vote for a candidate, you send a message of approval to that candidate. Do you really want to send such a message to Mrs. McCarthy, Mr. Becker, Mr. Scaturro and President Obama?? By the way, do not forget not to vote for Sen.Gillibrand. I have found Sen. Gillibrand to be the least responsive to our requests for assistance.

The flood insurance problem has not been solved. Do not waste the opportunity to use this chance to send a message to the government officials who

Web Comments on “Personal Liberty” Last week our second editorial was entitled “Personal Liberty,” which dealt with personal status issues within the Republican Party. The Standard editorial was expanded on by Editor Howard Barbanel and the larger piece ran earlier this week on The Huffington Post ( http:// www.huffingtonpost.com/howard-barbanel/gop-needs-to-getout-of-t_b_1852187.html) and generated a lot of comments.

Many of those commenting are able to do so using “handles” or pseudonyms. He put some of the more interesting comments below: Steve Hansen said that “The GOP, today, is a coalition of the 1% who are extremely wealthy, and the 1% who make their living as clergy. They both have a financial interest in controlling the other 98%. Roughly 20% can be effectively controlled by promises that they, too, can become wealthy.

Roughly 20% can be effectively controlled by threats that they will go to hell otherwise. A few more can be controlled by some combination of wealth and religion.

Of course, the promises and threats are false, and the 2% (both wealthy and clergy) know it. Their problem is, that they need to keep coming up with new ways to communicate the promises and/or threats, or they will lose power entirely.

History has shown that extremist parties are able to obtain power for a little while, but when their extremist policies begin to harm the majority of people, they lose power. The Republicans have had power, effectively, since about 1980. Their extremist view are now clearly

night of debauchery sparked by a mishap with the wedding dress.

The Cold Light of Day:

seen as harming most people.

The Democrats are now the conservative party. As the Republicans fade into history, a new “liberal” will emerge.”

Another reader named Johny123455 said “I agree with you in many regards, and I see how your logic extends to gay marriage. But what I don’t agree with is abortion -- if someone views abortion to be in fact murder, which Gallup polls have revealed that many (if not most) in the U.S. do, then how can it be a matter of “personal choices and freedom”? It is a legal matter of taking a life away.

That’s the part that I don’t see being solved by your liberties approach. Gay marriage is one of those things that can be figured out otherwise.”

Troyb0b agreed with the piece saying, “It’s a rare day when I as a republican agree with anything on this site. Good article though.” Another blogger named ACIM had this to say: “The Republicans running for any office CAN’T get out of our bedrooms, because the only people left who will vote for them (other than the 1% richest Americans), are the bible-belt Christian-types. These so-called Christians feel that God is commanding them to “save” everyone who doesn’t believe what they believe. And they believe that the world is a sinful and terrible place, and only their god can rescue it. All of the Republican candidates cynically exploit the fears of these people.

But thinking people see right through the Republicans’ hypocrisy. And finally, settleUdown remarked, “This could be true. We need to leave the religious aspects of the party at church and let man have his “God given freedom.” If this freedom leads to trouble for an individual, it is their problem with themselves, theirs, and their God. Democrats also need to do the same and not regulate behavior they view as risky or destructive.”

(PG-13). Bruce Willis, Henry Cavill, and Sigourney Weaver star in this thriller about a Wall Street trader named Will Shaw (Cavill), whose family is kidnapped from his boat while he had taken a short swim. It turns out intelligence agents were trying to recover a briefcase taken by Shaw’s father Martin (Willis), and will stop at nothing to get it.

National “Gridlock” as Gas Line Replaced on Broadway CONTINUED FROM P. A7 Five Towner Claudio Superville, owner of Mad Science of Long Island in Woodmere, questioned the logistical timing of the two jobs. “It makes no sense that they’re ripping up the pavement, and a lot of times when they re-pave it looks fine for a while but then

starts sinking and you can see the difference.” Ladd, however, said that National Grid will handle the re-paving process appropriately. “We have to restore the road to what it looked like before we began working on it.” Workers on site estimated that the job will be completed in about a week.
