In an illustrious ceremony, Hempstead Union Free School District renamed Fulton Elementary School to David A. Paterson Elementary School on Wednesday, June 26th at 7:00 p.m. at the former Fulton School located at 40 Fulton Street, Hempstead, NY. “If there is anyone who shows perseverance, dedication, and a will to overcome all obstacles, it is none other than David A. Paterson,” Dr. John Moore, master of ceremony and Principal of Franklin Ele-
mentary School said in his opening remarks. “It is apropos that this school be named after him, a person who has overcome all kinds of obstacles almost since the day he was born. Certainly, this is a symbol that we want each and everyone of our children to know that there is no obstacle they cannot overcome.” Hempstead School Board President Betty Cross, who is credited as the architect for the renaming of Fulton School said: “Indeed it is a great honor to honor such great man. I just thank God, I am grateful.”
Underscoring the importance of the occasion, Hempstead School District Superintendent, Susan Johnson, who introduced herself as an alumna of Hempstead School District said: “...this evening is a historical moment for the Village of Hempstead as well as for the school district. This ceremony for David A. Paterson, the former governor of New York, gives our students an opportunity to know that they too can achieve in life. They can set goals, and they know that are not goals which are unrealistic in life.”
Speaking as the proud principal of the new school, Interim Principal Mr. Rush said: “On behalf of the entire staff, teachers and administrators, I would like to say we are honored to be a part of the renaming of Fulton School to David Paterson School. As educators, we tell our students that they have the potential to be whatever they want to be— doctors, lawyers, even governor of New York. The power of See page 4

Hempstead Honors Native Son, Renames School (Cont’d from cover) being able to use you as reference, Mr. Peterson, will be helpful as we continue to strive for excellence in education. I look forward to pointing to the sign in front of the building that reads: David A. Paterson School. That would serve not only as a sign but as a motivation to every student, community member, and faculty member that we can always just look up and remind us about what we potentially have in front of us as students.” Mr. Paterson’s former six grade teacher, Mrs. Broderick, who traveled from Connecticut to celebrate with her famous and favorite student, former Governor David Paterson, said: “Welcome home, David,” then she went on to tell fond memories of David Paterson as her student. “David was a joy. Every teacher should have a David in their classroom. David has allowed me to follow his career, and I am glad to be here.” Derek Partee, the former Governor’s childhood friend, began by reading an email tribute from Dr. Leatta, the former principal of the Fulton Street Elementary School. In it, Dr. Leatta expressed his gratitude for having a student like David: “Dear David, it was with great pleasure and joy when I received the news that Fulton School was to be renamed the David Paterson School. It is also fitting that this beloved school bears the name of an alumnus who has worked hard and achieved many honors, least of which was the governorship state of New York. Of course, it makes us all proud for the wonderful work you have done in public life. There are also the memories of you entering Fulton School. I remember bringing you to Ms. Broderick’s class, and
your parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paterson who told me to take care of their son, David. Well, a higher power has taken good care of you and will continue to do so as future generations are reminded of this illustrious alumnus and outstanding student who come before them. “ Derek Partee congratulated his friend, David, the members of the Board of Education of Hempstead, especially Ms. Betty Cross and went on to talk about their time together growing up in Hempstead. He noted especially the former Governor’s love for White Castle food and that he was always a humorous guy. The ceremony proceeded with accolades by students from the former Fulton Street Elementary School and invited guests local, county, and state officials who took turns to pay fond tributes to the Governor. In acknowledging the accolades, Mr. Paterson, jumping to the stage, thanked all present. He told of how far Fulton School had come, the racial divide—white parents’ opposition to integrating Fulton School—his crush on his teacher, Ms. Broderick, and other things. Mr. Paterson concluded his remarks with an advice to the young people present: “I just want all of you young people here tonight to know that it is a struggle. There are battles, there are times you will not know how to go forward. There are times you will be described in ways that you wouldn’t like yourself and there are all kinds of battles, but really obstacles are only the barriers that we set between ourselves and our goals. And I know you all came here tonight to honor a local kid who made it, but I think we have all made it. And I pray to God that I can come back here to David Paterson School when another local kid has made it.” The event concluded with a sumptuous dinner of which one resident said: “Well, they went all out for David Paterson He deserves the honor.”

After receiving over 100 complaints from Hurricane Sandy victims, the Mangano administration ordered a sting operation into unlicensed contractors that resulted in 61 arrests, the seizure of over 50 vehicles and the levy of over $150,000 in fines. “Nassau County will not tolerate those who attempt to scam our residents and prey on Hurricane Sandy victims.

Calls For Exhibitors and Sponsors For September 2013 Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show Raising Prostate Cancer Awareness Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure is getting a tremendous response to its call for car exhibitors for its Sunday, September 8th Annual Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show. The annual car show is one of the largest and most popular in the region and the only east coast car show that promotes Prostate Cancer awareness. Sponsors, such as Allstate, have identified the mission of the not-for -profit car show as a worthy cause and are once again supporting the event that will return to the Sears Auto Center parking lot in Hicksville. The show is expected to draw a record 600 cars and Prostate cancer survivor Sandy Kane, Founder and Chair of the Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show (squatting on top) with several other prostate cancer survivors. 3,500 attendees. The large number of car exhibitors expected this September demonstrates the growing support Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure has experienced over the last eight years. Proceeds from the car show support free PSA screening test programs at the annual show and at other locations, as well as Prostate Cancer research programs. In 2012 alone, $20,000 was donated to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for scientific research. The amazing show is organized and run by unpaid volunteers, many of whom are Prostate Cancer survivors who encourage early detection of the disease. “This car show is all about cars and cancer. We like to keep our old cars forever and we want to help men live longer so they can enjoy those old cars. Prostate Cancer is a dreadful disease and early detection is what we encourage. The cars exhibited at the show serve as a backdrop for our mission to raise funds for Prostate Cancer education, awareness and vital research. Without cars,
generous sponsors and the dedicated volunteers, who unselfishly give their time and talents without remuneration of any sort, we would not be able to fulfill our mission,” said Sandy Kane, Founder and Chair of the Long Island Cruizin’ For A Cure Car Show. In addition to the hundreds of cars, trucks and other vehicles, the car show will have music, food and a variety of vendors and sponsor booths. The popular Kids Fun Zone and Doo Wop entertainment are returning in September, with other family-friendly activities in the works that promise to make the 2013 show even larger and better than ever.

RA LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS NOISE POLLUTION PASSES ASSEMBLY Bill requiring Port Authority to study aircraft noise over Long Island previously passed Senate, will now be enacted into law pending gubernatorial approval Legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-19th District), Assemblyman Brian Curran and Assemblywoman Michele Titus to address aircraft noise passed the Assembly. This bill, Assemblyman Ed Ra requiring the Port Authority to conduct an aircraft noise impact study, and designating federal funding for mitigation measures, passed the state Senate last month and now is awaiting Governor Cuomo’s signature. Ra was pleased to see his bill passed and looks forward to having the serious issue of noise pollution on Long Island addressed in the near future. “I’m pleased that my legislation concerning aircraft noise passed the Assembly before the end of Legislative Session this week. With the massive increase in air traffic over Long Island leading an unacceptable rise in noise pollution, the action laid out in this bill had to happen,” said Ra. “By better determining the use of certain runways and flight paths and by making available federal funding to remedy this issue, we can fix this important quality of life issue for Long Island and make it an even better place to work and live.”

Ask Lisa-Anne Is My Son A Bully? Lisa-Anne Ray-Byers Q. Our four year old son was suspended from preschool because he hit and kicked the other children to make them do what he wants. His teacher referred to him as a “bully” and suggested counseling for him. Isn’t this an extreme reaction to a four year old child’s behavior? A. No! Bullying behavior in schools has become a serious public health problem. It affects approximately 30% of all school-aged children in the United States according to researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle. Other studies suggest three predictors of future bullying behavior: lack of parental emotional support, early cognitive deficits, and TV violence (Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, April, 2005). Parents can decrease the risk of their child becoming a bully by providing cognitive stimulation (reading to them, playing with them, going on outings), by providing emotional support (eating dinner together, talking, hugging) and limiting the amount of TV they watch and monitoring what they watch. Not all cartoons are harmless. Your child’s preschool is attempting to extinguish this behavior before it becomes a serious problem. Imagine yourself as the parent of the children who are the recipients of your son’s outburst. These behaviors can be extinguished with the assistance of a pediatric psychologist who specializes in behavior modification and who will provide you with strategies to decrease these undesired behaviors. What is Bullying? According to the KidsHealth.org website, bullying is intentional tormenting in physical, verbal, or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, shoving, name-calling, threats, and mocking to extorting money and treasured possessions. Some kids bully by shunning others and spreading rumors about them. Others use email, chat rooms, instant messages, social networking websites, and text messages to taunt others or hurt their feelings. It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to "tough out." The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of self-worth and future relationships. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as school shootings. Why Do Kids Bully? Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim — someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way — to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case. Sometimes kids torment others because that's the way they’ve been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry, shouts,

Celebrity Interview—Mike Tyson The “Scary Movie 5” Interview with Kam Williams
Kam Williams
Headline: The Undisputed Champ’s Undisputed Truth Born in Brooklyn on June 30, 1966, Michael Gerard Tyson is an all-time boxing great who, in his prime, struck fear in the heart of any opponent he squared off against. He compiled an impressive record of 50 wins, 5 losses and 1 disqualification for biting off an opponent’s ear over the course of an incomparable career in which he became the first undisputed heavyweight champ to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF title belts simultaneously. Iron Mike has weathered a host of woes and controversies outside the ring ranging from allegations of spousal abuse to a rape conviction to the death of his 4 year-old daughter, Exodus, to declaring bankruptcy after frittering away over $300 million in prizefight purses. Today, he is a very happilymarried man, with a couple of children, Milan and Morocco, by his third wife, Kiki. Mike is currently on a 36-city tour of the country in “Undisputed Truth,” a one-man Broadway show which is part comedy/part confessional and covers all of the above and more. Here, the pugilist-turnedactor talks about his latest movie, Scary Movie 5, costarring a rogues gallery of controversial celebrities including Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, Katt Williams and Snoop Dogg.
Kam Williams: Hi Mike, thanks for the interview. Mike Tyson: What’s up, Kam? KW: I really appreciate your taking the time to speak with me. Mike Tyson: It’s all good in the ‘hood, my friend. KW: Ray Hirschman asks: What interested you in Scary Movie 5? Mike Tyson: Whew! It’s a franchise that’s going to last ‘til the end of time. I wanted to be involved with that. I don’t care how silly it comes across. It’s more so for us than for kids. It’s adults acting stupid and silly. KW: What was it like working with this cast? Mike Tyson: Everybody was great. Ashley [Tisdale] was awesome. I got an autographed picture of her for my niece. KW: Children’s book author Irene Smalls asks: How did you get into acting? Mike Tyson: Just from messing around with a friend, Jim Toback, the director of The Pickup Artist. I always used to see him in New York and talk to him when I was younger, like a teenager. Anthony Michael Hall brought me onto the set of one day in about ’86, and Jim and I became acquainted and then good friends, and he started putting me into his movies, first Black and White, and then we did Tyson. He thought I was an interesting character. After that, I did The Hangover and got bitten by the acting bug. I have a lot of friends who’ve won Oscars, and they started telling me I could do it, too. KW: I remember your doing a great job in Black and White opposite some famous daughter. Who was it, Jennifer Jason Leigh? Mike Tyson: That was Bijou Phillips. She was awesome in that film.
their styles, and entered the ring with their spirit. KW: Harriet Pakula-Teweles says: Champ— you’ve had a long and varied career that involved lots of press coverage. What’s the thing you’d most have us remember about you? Mike Tyson: Overcoming my adversities. KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Mike Tyson: Me? I see an old, broke-ass black guy taking care of a bunch of kids, living life, taking them to school, and all that stuff, who’s asking himself: What the hell is this? But I wouldn’t give it up for the world because I love my wife. I never expected to have a life like this. No chaos… no confusion… no lawsuits… no violence… no going to jail… KW: I’m originally from Bed-Stuy, too, from around Nostrand Avenue and Eastern Parkway. Mike Tyson: I know where that’s at. That’s an awesome neighborhood! Bed-Stuy, do or die! I’m from Franklin between DeKalb and Willoughby. Do you remember the Welfare place at 500 DeKalb? KW: Sure, I’m older than you. I was born in the early Fifties. Mike Tyson: Oh, so you know what’s really going down. My mother used to have us waiting with her in that long-ass line when we were kids. But we moved to Brownsville when I was 10.
KW: The Ling-Ju Yen question: What is your earliest childhood memory? Mike Tyson: Being in the hospital at about 5 years of age, after I drank some Drano. I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother had a bunch of people over the house, and I Mike Tyson drank it because no one was paying me any Jeff Ross told me he liked it and said, “You’re attention.

The First 10 Business Killers— Seek a Cure Now! Lists like this one are usually made up of financial reasons for the failure of a small business. Unfortunately there are also many sales and marketing reasons. But fear not! There is a positive step that can be taken for each one that will greatly increase your chances for success. 1. Face Your Weaknesses. Failure to face up to your weaknesses and a lack of effort to take advantage of your strengths can keep your business in a no-growth mode. No it’s not really as bad as you think. 2. Take Action. Talking about the great marketing program you have been developing and following through with it are two very different actions. Implementing the program is the key to marketing success. Plan all you want, but be prepared to act on all the steps you have identified. Don’t be surprised to discover that there are some steps you hadn’t initially considered. 3. Accountability And Responsibility. Understand the difference between accountability and responsibility. Make sure your staff and suppliers recognize that by accepting responsibility, they are accountable to you and to the rest of the company. It is now their job to get the assignment completed. 4. Don’t Play At Business. Don’t play at being in business. It is not a hobby or a pastime. Think about the message you are sending to your staff, suppliers, and customers. A genuine commitment to the customer and to the success of the business will get you through difficult times. It will also pave the way for muchsuccess in the future. Always seek ways to improve everything. 5. Avoid Ad Hoc Marketing. Struggling from one idea to another without thinking your complete marketing story through will typically end in one failure after another. Prepare a program for the year or at least for a complete season. Build on previous efforts to ensure continuity. 6. Seek Employee Buy In. When your staff does not support your marketing program, you are usually destined for failure. Get them involved early in the planning process and incorporate their ideas. 7. Appreciate Every Customer, Especially the Profitable Ones. A complete disregard for customers is a sure sign that a business is failing. There is nothing more irritating than walking into a business or past a booth at a
