Marcellino talks tax at packed forum By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com
The standing-room-only crowd at State Senator Carl Marcellino’s Feb. 2nd Community Forum wanted to talk about just one thing — the state’s two percent tax cap. From the moment Mr. Marcellino strode into the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club in Locust Valley, he was peppered with questions from residents worried about the effect of the cap on their schools. School districts throughout New York State are now strategizing about how to work within the
cap. Communities are allowed to override the cap, but only if 60% of voters approve. Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the cap to force spending controls throughout the state. “Our spending is getting out of hand. People cannot afford to live here and young people cannot afford to stay here,” said Marcellino. “We have an expensive place to live in and an expensive state to live in. All the states around us are capping and we have to be competitive.” Marcellino described Governor
Cuomo as “open and accessible” but said he doesn’t usually change once his mind is made up. “He is flexible to a point,” he said. “Right now he is riding a tremendous wave of popularity.” The Senator explained that the assembly, the senate and the governor must all agree to make anything work. “Two out of three doesn’t count, it has to be all three before anything is going to happen,” he said. Dr. Anna Hunderfund, Superintendent of Schools for the Locust Valley Central School District, was in the audience and expressed her
frustration with the new mandates being put upon her district. She asked, “If they couldn’t undo the mandates before the cap was passed, why wasn’t there legislation to forbid any new mandates?” Marcellino replied, “We pass that legislation every year. It doesn’t mean a thing. We always say we are not going to have any unfunded mandates. We pass the bill then we get to a situation where something occurs and it gets bargained away for something else.” (Continued on page 9)

County grant will fund Town improvements

Bully for Big Blue! Moments after the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5th, celebrations began all over Long Island. Giants’ famous “Big Blue” color could be seen everywhere in support of NY’s classic football team. As a result of “Giants Fever,” the A. Phimister Proctor Rough Rider statue of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt was mysteriously sporting a NY Giants flag in TR’s arm as he stands regally atop the TR triangle property, located between Berry Hill Road and Lexington Avenue at the entrance to South Street in Oyster Bay. This was quite fitting being that the 26th President was responsible for shaping the rules of the modern NFL game.

Producer’s first show is answer to a lifetime dream By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com
Eileen McEvoy Harrigan always dreamed of being involved in the entertainment industry, but she found herself stuck in various corporate jobs. One day the Oyster Bay native decided she had deferred her dream too long. She left and never looked back. The results? Harrigan has finally gotten the chance to produce a
play. “The Monkey King” will debut at the Bare Bones Theater in Northport from February 16th19th. “FDR’s words – ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself’ - inspired me to finally leave my job, which I was very unhappy with. I never felt good about the work I was doing. I thought there’s got to be something better than what I’m doing,” said Harrigan. “I removed the fear factor and took an acting class at the Bare Bones Theater in
September.” She loved the stage, but Harrigan wanted to see how she would like working behind the scenes. “I volunteered to help out one night. I started talking to a woman who was producing the plays there. When it came time for this show she asked me to be her assistant. I thought it was a perfect way to get my feet wet and learn the ropes,” she said. In November 2011, the producer became ill and could no longer
do the show. She then asked Harrigan to take over. “I thought, ‘Ok, I’ll give it a shot.’ I figured I’d take all the skills I learned at my corporate job and apply it to this one,” said Harrigan. “I took the fear out and just went for it. I did a lot of technical stuff, which came in handy. It was a culmination of all the things I did at my job in the past. It just worked out.” “I’m in awe of people who can (Continued on page 9)

The smell of cocoa beans will waft in the air through the streets of Oyster Bay this weekend as if it were Hershey, PA as the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce holds its inaugural Chocolate Fair on Saturday, February 11th and Family Valentine’s Day on Sunday, February 12th. The day will offer everything chocolate and love-themed led by Oyster Bay’s own chocolatier Lee Perrotta. “I’m extremely excited because this a vision come true,” said Perrotta, who is known to all as The Chocolate Lady. Her eponymous store is at 49 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay. “We are trying to benefit everybody so everyone has a good time. We will have lots of events in all different places.”
A thrilling part of the week for Perrotta will be the release of her first book, Tempering Your Way Through with The Chocolate Lady. The book features memoirs and recipes that coordinate with each chapter. “It’s my life starting from age five ending last summer in the West Indies buying my cocoa for the season. It’s a quick fun read,” said Perrotta. This Valentine’s Day, The Chocolate Lady has 180 different types of chocolate for sale — all of which she makes herself. “We have lots of sexy things: blood orange and pomegranate chocolate, nipples of Venus, rose creams with imported roses and laics, apricots and brandies, dulce del leche, no egg cookie dough truffles, fudge meltaways in white, milk and dark, curry coconut ginger bon-bons and more,” said Perrotta.

Local married couples cherish longevity of love By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com
Valentine’s Day is far more than cards, candies and flowers, it’s about the celebration of a romantic bond between two human beings. While our society tends to herald couples like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and Jay-Z & BeyoncÊ, we tend to overlook the successes around us. This week the Guardian spotlights two local couples who have been married over 60 years. We talked to Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick of East Norwich and Ruth & Iver Roslund of Locust Valley about their lifetime relationships and what makes them work.
Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick of East Norwich met on the beach in Port Washington through a mutual friend when Mabel was 15. Her family spent the weekends there while Robert was born and raised in Port Washington. They both share a love of boating and the water. The couple instantly began dating. “I liked her from the start,� admitted Robert, who went into the Coast Guard at age 17 during World War II. When he came home he re-enlisted into the Navy for four years when he served during the Korean War. Meanwhile Mabel kept busy attending nursing school. The couple married in January 6th, 1951 and honeymooned in Florida. “We hit all the tourist traps,� said Mabel. The Fitzpatricks moved to East Norwich in 1953 and had children right away. They were blessed with two daughters, Gale and Donna and one son, Robert. Robert went to work for Republic Aircraft in Port
Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick of East Norwich Washington in the supply department. He then moved on to be employed by Lincoln Processor before running his own painting business. While Robert worked days, Mabel worked nights at Winthrop Hospital for 40 years. “We saw each other coming & going,� said Robert. Mabel added, “It was hectic but we did it.� In 1995 Robert had a quadruple bypass and in 2011 he had another bypass where his doctors repaired a leaky valve. “I’m still here and feeling good,� declared Robert, who collects coins and stamps and works in his garage doing woodwork projects. The couple describes their relationship as “very friendly� and they have managed to remain on each other’s good side for 61 years. “We’ve always got along very good,� said
Robert. Mabel said, “If we ever had a problem, we just worked through it. It’s important to not stay mad at each other.� In addition to traveling cross-country, the Fitzpatricks spent the summer months at their vacation home in New Hampshire on Lake Swanzey. “We bought it as a ‘Do It Yourself’ and now it’s done,� said Robert. “We enjoy it with our children, our three grandchildren (Christopher, Justin and Joshua) and four great-grandchildren.� “We planned to retire there but we never left East Norwich,� said Mabel. “It’s a very homey community and we love it.�
Ruth & Iver Roslund Ruth & Iver Roslund of Locust Valley met at a Sweet 16 party in Glen Cove on the last Saturday of June in 1938. “When I walked in the

party, there were three girls sitting on the couch. Ruth was sitting in the middle and that was it,� said Iver. Iver was born & raised in Locust Valley while Ruth grew up in Manhasset. After graduating Glen Cove High School in 1937, Iver went to work for local lumberyard Nassau Suffolk Lumber & Supply. In 1942 he went into the Army. The couple married on September 5th, 1943 at the Reform Church in Manhasset followed by a honeymoon in New York City. Because Iver was still in the service Ruth went home to live with her parents. After coming out of the service, Iver and his two brothers took over their father’s construction business, Iver Roslund & Sons, in January 1946 building high-end homes. On the day after Thanksgiving in 1948, the Roslunds moved into
Iver & Ruth Roslund of Locust Valley their Locust Valley home which Iver built with the help of his brothers. The couple had two children Robert & Cynthia and they were heavily involved with the Reformed Church of Locust Valley as well as the boy scouts and girl scouts. Ruth was busy volunteering for the American Red Cross and Iver dedicated his time to the Locust Valley Fire Department where he has served for 74 years. Ruth likes to play bridge while Iver enjoys bowling. “Iver is very understanding of me and I am very understanding of him,� said Ruth. “We’ve been fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful life.� The Roslunds have traveled all over the world visiting Yugoslavia, California, Grand Canyon, Hawaii. Australia, Paris, New Zealand, Fiji, London, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Greece and Egypt. Ruth had colon cancer four years ago but survived the surgery and today she is cancer free. “Thank God they got it all,� she said. Today they have five grandchildren and one greatgrandchild When asked what has been the key to their success, Ruth said, “We believe in trust and love. We brought our children up that way.� Iver added, “We had good role models like my mom and dad. They got married and stayed married. Today you just don’t know.� Recently the couple celebrated Iver’s 93rd birthday. “I really love Iver because he’s a very thoughtful person who’s both kind and gentle,� said Ruth. “He’d do anything in the world for anybody.�

Spotted Owl spreads its wings in Oyster Bay dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com
Consignment stores have become all the rage these days not only for bargains but for unique hard-to-find styles. However, most of the market is geared toward adults. Enter Gina Weinberg of East Norwich and Donna Cohen of Oyster Bay, two friends who put together the Spotted Owl – a consignment store for kids, which recently opened at 39 East Main Street in Oyster Bay. They will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for their Grand Opening tomorrow, Saturday, February 11th at 11 AM. Weinberg, who grew up in Syosset and Cohen, who was raised in Oyster Bay Cove, have been friends for 20 years. They have six children between them - Cohen has two girls and Weinberg has four boys. Together they make the perfect pair. Cohen is an organizer/neat freak while Weinberg is handy and has a business background. They joined forces for this new venture and its been successful from the start. The idea came about last winter when they found themselves overloaded and swamped with clothes from their friends. “I remember saying to my husband, ‘Oh my God, I could open up a store with all the stuff I have for my kids.’ The concept made sense to us because
kids stuff is so expensive,” said Cohen. “There are a lot of consignment stores but none that cater to kids. We felt there was a niche here in Oyster Bay.” The store features clothes for boys & girls from infants to age 16 plus some toys, books and DVDs plus maternity clothes for the momsto-be as well. The clothes are pre-owned, but not always pre-worn. Lots of new clothes come in with tags on them. “People clean out their closets and bring the clothes to us. We go through them and separate what we are taking and not taking. They get 40% of what they sell for,” said Cohen. “When you shop here you can dress your kid in designer clothes at a fraction of the price.” All clothes must be washed with no stains and in next-to-new condition. “We check the prices on the computer and we take into consideration all the different sales,” said Cohen. “We try and price items in the middle range of where we think it should be.” If people don’t want the clothes back the Spotted Owl donates them to a different charity each month. The store began when Weinberg & Cohen gathered as much clothes as they could through friends. Now just by word-of-mouth their business has grown tremendously. “We are a bit overwhelmed with the stuff
that has come in but we’ve been getting great things,” said Weinberg. “We’ve been selling North Face jackets, Ugg boots and Ralph Lauren items. The top name brands go really fast.” The name of the store came from Weinberg who is a Harry Potter fan. “I’ve always had a thing for owls,” she admitted. “Plus the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary, which is up the block, is one of my favorite places.” If you can’t find what you are looking for the Spotted Owl has a Wish List for specific items. “We go hunting for it. We get the stuff people ask for within days,” said Weinberg. “Every time some one drops off a bag it’s like digging for treasures.” Although they’ve only been open nine weeks, the store is already talking about expanding. “We are going into the next room and considering taking the back area as well for storage because we are running out of space,” said Weinberg. “We can’t tag the clothes fast enough!” The store accepts consignments on Mondays from 10 AM-12:30 PM or by appointment. Hours are: Tuesday-Friday: 11 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays 10 AM-5 PM. Soon they will be opening Thursday nights till 7 PM.

seas Voter Empowerment Act, which gives citizens overseas more time to vote as absentees in November’s general election. The state must now decide when the primaries will be held for Assembly and Senate seats. The earlier the primaries, the sooner redrawn district maps must be agreed on and approved, because candidates must know who they are running to represent. Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Republican from Rockville Centre, is proposing moving the state primaries up from September to August. Skelos would like to reschedule both the state and federal primaries to August — which would still comply with the MOVE Act — so as not to disrupt the legislative calendar. Cuomo has said that if a purely partisan redistricting plan makes it to his desk, he will veto it. We hope he keeps that promise. It’s been a year since the governor submitted a bill to the State Legislature to establish an independent redistricting commission. Democrats and Republicans have ignored the bill, in spite of their campaign pledges to create such a commission. Skelos has said that doing so would require an amendment to the state Constitution. An amendment would have to be passed by two consecutive sessions of the Legislature, meaning the madness of the current system wouldn’t end until the 2020 election. If an amendment is what it takes to finally get a fair redistricting process, fine. But where is the progress on it? It’s been nearly a year since the Senate did any work on creating it. Has anything been done since? We hope that Cuomo will stand by his promise to veto a redistricting plan drawn along partisan lines, though we suspect that the pressure for earlier primaries may force him to cave, arguing that at some point we must have new maps, primary campaigns, primary winners and general elections. We think this may be the last time in a decade for elected leaders to demonstrate that New York state government is not of the parties, by the parties and for the parties.

ooking at the current New York state government, you could almost forget that until recently it was an ineffective embarrassment, a decidedly non-functional democracy. Since Andrew Cuomo was elected governor, things have been looking up in our state. There’s been ethics reform and mandate relief; same-sex couples are finally allowed to marry here; the 2 percent tax cap should help force more modest spending levels; and in 2011 there was the rarest of occurrences in Albany — legislators balanced the budget and passed it on time. The one task at which lawmakers have consistently failed the people of the state, however, is redistricting. Every 10 years, after the federal census, the lines of state Assembly and Senate districts, and Congressional districts, must be redrawn to reflect New York’s ever-changing demographics. The task seems a straightforward mathematical challenge: If an area shows an increase in population, it gets an increase in representation, and if its population drops, so does the number of legislators it sends to the capital, with the goal of approximate equalization among all districts. But what should be a transparent, aboveboard process inevitably gets bogged down in political gamesmanship and shady deals. What we, the people, get in the end are “redrawn� districts that keep incumbents in office year after year. In New York, Democrats control the Assembly and Republicans control the Senate. So it’s no surprise that Republicans are protesting the redistricting lines the Democrats have drawn for the Assembly, while Democrats are crying foul over the lines their opponents have drawn in the Senate. As if the redistricting process wasn’t already opaque and obscure enough, recent laws and court decisions have added to the problem of redrawing lines in time for the state’s primary elections, which used to be held in September. A federal judge has moved Congressional primaries up to June 26 to comply with the Military and Over-

MUTTONTOWN BEWARE Dear Neighbor, We are writing to warn you about proposed changes to the Village Code that may significantly reduce the value of your property and limit your freedom to enjoy your land as you see fit!
Lo
At their January meeting, your Muttontown Village trustees tried to sneak through significant changes to the Village Code without following proper legislative procedures, without providing reasonable notice of the changes and, most importantly, without providing any explanation of how these changes will affect you and your family. The Village trustees also failed to offer any rationale as to how the changes would serve the public interest or produce scientific support for the proposed law. Having failed to pass these sweeping changes in January, the Trustees now propose to force through these measures at a meeting inconveniently scheduled for Valentine’s Day (February 14) when most of us would prefer to spend the evening with our loved ones rather than at Village Hall defending our basic property rights.
er orth
ll
Rolling
You deserve an explanation! Village Trustees have an obligation to explain the reasons for imposing such far-reaching changes and to disclose how, and by how much, you and your family will be impacted by the new law. we r
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS! Attend the Village meeting on February 14th, 2012 at 7:30 pm Please visit: www.muttontowndeclassified.org to learn more about the proposed law and how it impacts your property values and quality of life.
a, 20
Concerned Citizens for Muttontown How Does This Affect You and Your Family? Steep Slopes & Yield:
Affects more than 1,100 parcels of land!
• Currently, the Village Code requires land with slopes of 25% or greater be deducted from building lot yield. The proposed Code would require that all land with slopes of 15% or greater be deducted from property yield. • This change, which potentially impacts more than 1,100 parcels in the Village, may significantly reduce your land value or outright prevent you from subdividing your property.
New Wetlands Definitions:
Affects at least 175, perhaps many more of you!
• Today, the Village Code defines wetlands as naturally occurring areas 12.4 acres or larger. The new law defines wetlands as 2,000 square feet or larger – equivalent to reducing 10 football fields to ½ a tennis court.
Lo
• Wetlands will also now include man-made ponds and “seasonally saturated areas.” • These changes directly impact at least 175 Muttontown landowners and may impact many more depending on site-specific conditions.
100 foot Buffer Area
Affects you and your neighbors!
• The new law requires a wetland and its 100-foot buffer to be kept in its natural state. You may be prohibited from mowing your lawn, planting a rose garden or installing a fence.
r rthe
• Even if a wetland is not located on your property, the 100-foot buffer around your neighbor’s wetland may extend onto your property and interfere with your use of your own land.
Fines and Imprisonment
That’s right, fines and jail!
Rolling
• The proposed code would now require that the wetland area and surrounding 100-foot buffer be excluded from a property’s yield. Such reductions in potential yield could dramatically reduce the value of your property and even prevent you from subdividing altogether. r
• If the Village finds you have disturbed your new wetland or the 100-foot buffer, you face costly fines ($3,000 per day) and even jail time.
Increased Costs and Delays, Greater Uncertainty • Dreaming of adding a pool, tennis court, horse barn, garage or addition to your home? DREAM ON! After spending many thousands of extra dollars on experts to stake your new wetland and buffer, resurvey your land and suffer through myriad other red tape required by this extremely stringent law, ultimately your application may be denied (after a very lengthy, expensive review process). This has a direct impact on the value of your land. Paid for by The Concerned Citizens of Muttontown

Mara Navaretta tion of $500 to the Foundation. Further donations resulting from a percentage of commissions collected among participating agents will be made on a quarterly basis throughout 2012. Additionally, Navaretta will donate a portion of the agency’s annual profits to CBTF at the end of the year. She and her agents are also planning to participate in some of Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation’s upcoming fundraising events. “As a mother with a seven year old of my own, I have an innate love and passion for children and am always looking to lend a helping hand to children in need,” said Navaretta. “Fred and Bonnie are remarkable individuals. While they have suffered the tragedy of having lost a daughter, I am inspired by their ability to not only live on but also the amazing work
they have done in conjunction with Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation to help other children whose lives and families are affected by brain tumors. My heart goes out to the children who have been diagnosed with this disease and I am proud to offer my help to Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation and the many children and families they serve.” CBTF Executive Director Joe Fay says he is happy to have Homes By Mara among its supporters. “We are delighted to welcome Homes By Mara to the ranks of corporations that support Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation,” commented Fay. “Because CBTF serves so many families on Long Island, we appreciate a local business that recognizes and supports not only our organization but, more importantly, the families and survivors whom we serve. This horrific, deadly disease can only be conquered by supporters who step forward to help, like Mara and her firm.” Fay added, “We know that all families, including those affected by children’s brain and spinal cord tumors, value businesses that tangibly demonstrate their commitment to issues affecting the communities where they do business. By supporting CBTF, Mara and her agency reinforce that their concern extends not only to their own clients but to the entire Long Island community.”

Though the holiday season of giving is now behind of us, Homes By Mara Realty President and Owner Mara Navaretta is keeping the spirit of giving alive this year, setting up a reserve fund within her Syossetbased agency in which a portion of this year’s commissions will benefit Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF). Navaretta decided to launch this initiative after being moved by the tragic story of one of her real estate associate’s, Fred Adlman, who suffered the loss of his daughter, Jill, in 1990 due to a brain tumor. Adlman and his wife, Bonnie, have since become active with CBTF, serving on its board and assisting its mission to improve the treatment, quality of life and long term outlook for children with brain and spinal chord tumors. “Fred and I are grateful to Mara, her corporation and agents for supporting the many children who have been diagnosed with brain tumors, as well as their families,” said Bonnie Adlman. “It is uplifting to see a local business stepping out to support a cause that is so near and dear to our hearts. I know Mara’s efforts will have a pinwheel effect in building awareness and inspiring other businesses to get more involved with charitable organizations.” To commemorate her new support initiative for CBTF, Navaretta kicked of the New Year with a dona-

Marcellino talks tax at packed forum (Continued from page 1) Several speakers said mandates for the Locust Valley Central School District should be frozen because of its high performance. Marcellino agreed, “I’d like to see some school districts who are performing very well get relief from some of these rules. Give them a break for a period of time. I suggest you write letters to the governor to support this position because right now it’s in the minority.” Marcellino said the school districts in the 5th Senate District should get some mandate relief before the end of this year. “What form it will take I don’t know. We will work on it and try to easy the pain to make it better for the districts to live within the cap,” he said. “We know it’s not going to be easy but it’s a law that has to work and it’s
an extremely popular law. Eight out of nine letters I get are for it.” The Senator did warn that the wealthy districts are not going to get as much aid as the less fortunate districts. “They think we have too much and they don’t have enough,” he said. “You have districts upstate who don’t have anything, they are flat broke and ready to close.” When the crowd cried that the 2% cap wouldn’t cover their costs Marcellino suggested that they use the override clause, which would involve garnering just over 60% of the vote. However, the Senator did say piercing the cap was controversial and admitted that it would “tick off” the governor. He suggested that the school district live within the 2% cap for the first cycle. “Try it and see what
happens,” he said. “Next year if it has to be adjusted, we will work to amend and correct the problems.” LVCSD Board of Education President Jack Dolce asked Marcellino, “The current increase in the pension plan alone exceeds the 2% tax cap for the school district. How can the state expect the cap to work under these circumstances?” Marcellino stated, “Pension systems are a mandate. People in civil service get a pension by constitution. Pensions are a percentage of salaries; the higher the salary, the higher the pension. The step increments are negotiated not mandated and they are contractual. They were created by the districts through negotiations.” The crowd grumbled about the cost of pensions and called for the constitution to be changed. Marcellino replied, “A deal was
Chocolate Fair to debut on Valentine’s weekend (Continued from page 1) While most health nuts stay away from chocolate Perrotta will tell you otherwise. “Chocolate kicks up your endorphins, lowers your blood pressure, enhances your moods and it’s good for your cholesterol and your sex life.” The Chocolate Lady will present a lecture called, “Power of Dark Chocolate” at Active Motion Physical Therapy, located at 20 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay, on Friday, February 10th from 7-8:30 PM. On Saturday, February 11th, Perrotta will host a

On Tuesday, February 7th, Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto and Town Councilman Joe Pinto named the arched walkway, “Via dell‘Amore” — the Pathway of Love, connecting Audrey Avenue and the mu-
nicipal parking lot off West Main Street leading to Raynham Hall, home of America’s first valentine. “We are hoping for proposals to happen here,” said Chamber President Michele Browner. “This is our way of kicking off Valentine’s Week in our beautiful hamlet,” said Venditto, “We are expecting the power of Valentine’s Day is so strong that Republicans are going to be hugging Democrats!” For more information and a full schedule of events, visit: www.chocolateladyboutique.com or www.visitoysterbay.com.
Producer’s first show is answer to lifetime dream (Continued from page 1) take you away from reality for two hours.” Harrigan said, “I thought to be a part of that would be fabulous. I love TV, the theater and the movies. It’s a wonderful world.” After living in Phoenix, Arizona for a year and Connecticut for three years, she decided to move back home. “When it came time to raise my children and send them to school, I said, ‘There’s no place like home,’ ” said Harrigan. “Oyster Bay
is a gem. There’s no place like it.” The play centers around accountant Rupert Marlowe who stole money from his mobster boss and ran away with his daughter Diane to Bali on New Year’s Eve. Now, a half man, half monkey demon character that Rupert sold his soul to has come to collect. The play, written and directed by Don Intonato of Syosset, stars his son Ben Intonato. “It’s funny yet dark and
edgy. We all need a little of that darkside,” said Harrigan. “The message is: you ou don’t know what you are capable of until you are put to the test.” The Bare Bones Theater at the Posey School, located at 57 Main Street in Northport, presents performances February 16th-18th at 8 PM and February 19th at 4 PM.

‘No.’ But I think they are wrong.” In regard to the possibility of freezing the step increments, Marcellino said, “The Senate has approached the governor and asked to freeze the steps, not eliminate them. The governor said we are not going to get anywhere with that therefore it’s off the table and the Assembly has said ‘No’ as well.” With all the changes going on, one person inquired if a consolidation of school districts would be the governor’s next move. “He will come around to it. I believe that’s where he is going to go. There is incen-
tive money in the budget to study the proposal but it’s never really worked out,” said Marcellino. “Sooner or later there will be a push to make a reduction in a number of taxing entities. Whether or not it will save the state money remains to be seen.” After two hours of going round-and-round the issue, Senator Marcellino closed out the discussion by stating, “The state government, the country and the world are going through tough economic times. We will get through it. It has happened before. In the meantime, we have to save what we can save and try to get past this problem.”

OUT IN RIGHT FIELD By Jeff Davis
NY Giants win Super Bowl XLVI The gladiators have fought. America took a Sunday night off for a football game. New England, which prides itself on being the “Red Sox Nation,” has another reason to hate New York. The New York Giants and it’s New York, even if Jersey Governor Chris Christi thinks differently, as they rode through the “Canyon of Heroes” on February 7th. As I predicted, the New York Giants are Super Bowl champions. The Giants were 3 point underdogs but managed a 21-17 victory over the QB Tom Brady led New England Patriots. The entire Super Bowl experience was perfect. The city of Indianapolis showed Mid-West charm and proved that intelligent planning is possible from elected officials. The hotels that sprung up, the $10 “Cable Fly Ride” which launched riders for 650 feet, 80 feet above the street going to the Stadium was more popular than anyone could have expected. It is a ride that will probably be a feature of Indianapolis as the Arch is for St. Louis. Kelly Clarkson sang the National Anthem and didn’t even make a mistake. Madonna was the halftime entertainment and didn’t have a “wardrobe malfunction.” The commercials weren’t political, weren’t offensive and actually were very entertaining. Car makers had the best commercial using Clint Eastwood’s distinct voice saying, “This country can’t be knocked out with one punch.” Twitter lit up with thousands saying that Eastwood should be running for president. Can’t laugh at that since we have elected actors before and they can be very successful presidents. Acura had a commercial with Jay Leno one upping Jerry Seinfeld. Audi’s, “vampires” and Pepsi wanting “respect” were prime time winners too. The price for commercials this year was $3.5 million for each 30 second spot. The estimated audience was 110 million in this country and untold additional millions world-wide. The game was first rate. Giant quarterback Eli (MVP) Manning completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards. Manning’s key throw to wide-out Mario Manningham was remarkable on so many levels. First Manningham came down with the ball and kept his feet inbounds. Secondly Manning had rolled right and threw the ball, threading a needle to Manningham, a feat that required incredible arm strength as well as accuracy. The G-men ran enough to keep the Patriot defense off balance and the defense had a safety and several key sacks, two most notably by Justin Tuck. With all that being said, Tom Brady still had 57 seconds left to pull off a miracle and quite nearly did. The last play, the “Hail Mary” pass nearly was batted toward a Pat player, but just fell short. The game is over. The hype has ended. What can possibly happen in the world of sports that will capture so many people’s attention? Did I hear anyone say “March Madness?” For fun how about emailing me your picks for the final four and who will be the National Champion.

TALES FROM JOKELAND By Jackie Martling
Zippy The Chimp On Valentine’s Day I’ll be sixty-four. Ouch. I used to flirt with the Oyster Bay Guardian columnist and everybody’s sweetheart, Gloria O’Rourke, and send her a dozen red roses every February 14th. And then she’d mention it in her column, saying “Jackie only sends me flowers so I’ll tell everybody it’s his birthday.” We all miss her greatly. The picture (above and to the right) was taken at my house at 29 Garey Court in Lansing, Michigan on my 25th birthday. Seated at the banquet table, surrounding the immense turkey I had cooked for them, are my mother Dorothy, my sister Katie Dunn, my girlfriend Andrea Green, Larry Wickett & Mike Eddy & John Sase from my Michigan State rock band The PillowCayse, me & Zippy The Chimp. The PillowCayse had spent a chunk of the summer of 1971 barely eking out a living in Cape Cod. At the end of the trimester the guys drove the band truck from the midwest to East Norwich to spend a few days and then we headed on to Massachusetts. Lee Ecuyer, an entrepreneurial genius from Freeport, had put himself through college and then went on to make a fortune with his trained chimpanzee “Zippy.” Zippy was a national celebrity, featured on Howdy Doody, Ed Sullivan and many other television shows in the ‘50s and ‘60s. My pal Joe Buglisi and his wife Debbie answered an ad to move into Lee’s jungle animal-proof home, become Zippy The Chimp’s “parents” and take the reins squiring the talented little ape to su-

St. Gertrude’s Blue Wave shooting for a championship this weekend Born on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, a 25 year-old Jackie Martling (far right) celebrates his birthday with a few close friends, family members and “Zippy the Chimp” (far right corner). permarket openings and shopping malls coast-to-coast. One very hot June night in that summer of 1971, before heading to The Cape, my band was practicing in my mother’s dining room, blasting the Rolling Stones. Jefferson Airplane and the James Gang. Most of the local hippie population was gathered at the octagon windows at 941 Oyster Bay Road, scattered in the backyard and everywhere, many if not all of them sailing on any of a variety of intoxicants, when my good pals Joe and Debbie...and Zippy...came screaming up in their huge white Eldorado. Joe opened the back door and Zippy leaped out. He was wearing tiny blue jeans and his classic white sweatshirt that read “Zip,” and within minutes was playing hide and seek with the freaks and then rollerskating on the patio. Every single person in that entire Woodstock-era gang was shaking his or her altered head in disbelief as this incredibly childlike animal ran about among them. The classic light bulb went on over
my head and I said, “Joe, let’s have some fun.” I had always loved teasing my mother Dot’s sister Janet, who married my father’s brother Len, and they lived just two blocks away. And I must toss in that at the age of twenty-four I had never seen my Uncle Len laugh. Joe and I walk over to Floyd Place, each holding one of Zippy’s hands. His head’s just above our knees, he’s about the size of a three-year-old. We knock, my aunt open the door, looking us in the eye, not looking down. I open the screen door, we take a step in, and with us each giving a slight yank, in the blink of an eye Zippy’s up on Aunt Janet’s chest, with both of his long hairy arms wrapped all the way around her neck. My Uncle Len looks up from his Newsday wondering what’s going on. My aunt’s petrified, as frozen as Walt Disney. She looks at me wide-eyed and blurts, “Does he b-i-t-e?” My uncle laughed so hard he almost fell out of his chair.
The St. Gertrude’s Blue Wave CYO 7th & 8th grade girls’ basketball team of Bayville has made it to the finals on Sunday, February 12th where they will face-off against St. Joesph’s of Hewlett for the league championship at St. Bernard’s in Levittown at Noon.

21-year-old Sergei takes a 3-mile walk in Petrozavodsk, Russia every day. But he will never consider it routine. Not after four major heart operations, the first when he was only two years old. And certainly not after surviving a desperate 20-hour train trip and a transatlantic flight late last year for emergency surgery. Through the efforts of a nonprofit foundation, Sergei made his way to WinthropUniversity Hospital, where a renowned heart surgeon and a multidisciplinary team of physicians and staff agreed to take on his almost-hopeless case. They replaced Sergei’s failing aortic and mitral valves in a tense 8-hour operation. Today Sergei is a walking miracle. With a healthy respect for Winthrop’s guiding truth: Your Health Means Everything. To learn more, go to winthrop.org. For a physician referral, call 1.866.WINTHROP.
