police officer in the United Kingdom chased himself for 20 minutes after a video surveillance officer confused him with a suspect. The CCTV operator radioed police to report that someone was “acting suspiciously” on a dark street. The officer then feverishly pursued the shadowy figure, all while assuring the operator he was “hot on the heels” of the bad guy. Turns out, the shadow he was chasing was his own, and it wasn’t until the cop’s boss went into the CCTV control room and recognized him that he figured out his mistake.

The Planter Wart Solution The Cherrywood Footcare located in Bellmore was recently voted “Best Podiatrist on Long Island” by the Long Island Press for good reason. Dr.Burke and the staff of Cherrywood Footcare offer cutting edge emerging technologies that treat many ailments as well as boasting a friendly staff and a modern office. Cherrywood Footcare is a leader in podiatry. It’s not only affiliated with two local hospitals but also has a state of the art operating room within the office. In fact, Cherrywood Foot Care is one of only a handful of podiatrists in the county offering laser therapy for fungus nails with one of the most advanced laser systems. Plantar warts, also known as verruca plantaris, are the most common viral infection of the skin. Plantar warts are noncancerous skin growths on the plantar surface, or the sole, of the foot. They can be found anywhere on the foot but tend to produce symptoms in areas of pressure and friction causing pain and discomfort. The human papilloma virus causes warts infecting only the superficial layer of skin entering through tiny cuts, breaks or other vulnerable areas on the skin. It is estimated that 7-10 percent of the U.S. population is infected, most commonly affecting children but also seen in adults. Infection typically occurs from moist walking surfaces such as showers or swimming pools. The virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious. After infection, warts may not become visible for several weeks or months. Because of pressure on the sole of the foot or toe, the wart is pushed inward and a layer of hard skin may form over the wart that can often be mistaken for a callus or corn. They may fuse or develop into clusters called mosaic warts. Some signs and symptoms of a plantar wart include small, firm, fleshy, grainy lesions or growths on the soles of your feet, which

can resemble a cauliflower; hard, thickened skin over a well-defined spot on the skin,where a wart has grown inwards; black pinpoints which are small, clotted blood vessels; pain or tenderness when walking or standing; and the virus does thrive in warm, moist environments and also needs a point of entry into the skin such as cuts or dry skin. Plantar warts require treatment especially people with diabetes, nerve damage in their feet or weakened immunity. People with these conditions need treatment under a podiatrist’s supervision to closely monitor the treatment effect and the quality of the wound healing. Plantar warts are usually self-limiting within a few years, but treatment is generally recommended to lessen symptoms, which may include pain, decrease duration and reduce transmission. It’s much easier to treat a few small warts than several large warts. Plantar warts can stubbornly resist treatment. Therefore, most treatments require patience, persistence and multiple interventions. Cherrywood Foot Care offers a variety of methods to treat this contagious condition based on individual needs as well as severity of the condition. To reduce the risk of plantar warts, avoid direct contact with warts including your own, keep your foot clean and try by changing shoes and socks often; don’t go barefoot in public areas by wearing sandals or flip-flops in public pools, showers and locker rooms; don’t pick at your warts, by picking they may spread to other parts of your foot and hands; don’t use the same file, pumice stone or nail clipper, your warts a you use on your healthy skin and nails; and wash your hands carefully after touching your warts to prevent spreading the infection. Put your “Best” foot forward.Call us today to see why we were voted #1 BEST Podiatrist On Long Island!

Drunk Fans—off target An alleged drugged driver wearing an Eli Manning sweatshirt is arrested after leading Suffolk County police officers on a 7-mile chase in an SUV with “Let’s Go Giants” painted on its back window. And here we were concerned New York would once again fail to deliver in the alwayspopular phenomenon of hysterical a-holes bent on destruction following a Super Bowl win!

Nassau Hub—partial scorE A decade after Charles Wang’s Lighthouse Project proposal, Long Island builders regroup and endorse a plan to seek new ideas on developing the Mags property surrounding Nassau Coliseum. But have Long Island NIMBY-ists endorsed a plan to seek new ideas to shut down those potential developments? Let’s get on it, everyone—this money won’t waste itself! Mags—off target Magazine sales, especially women’s magazines and celebrity tabloids, plunge, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. In 2011, publishers sold 28.9 million newsstand copies—nearly 10 percent less than in 2010. It seems we weren’t the only ones who finally dropped our Rolling Stone subscription last year! Fracking—bull’s eye After receiving 61,000 public comments on the future of hydrofracking in the Marcellus Shale, state environmental officials says New York’s proposed budget doesn’t include money for regulating the practice because it’s uncertain when—or if—the natural gas drilling technology will be allowed in the state. It’s reassuring to know that even when our heads of state don’t have the public’s best interests in mind, the public still does! Rosie—partial score Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr announces she is running for the Green Party’s presidential nomination. Well, it would be the first time anyone in America actually knew the name of the Green Party nominee, so that’s a start, right?
FORMER MISSISSIPPI GOV. HALEY BARBOUR The former Mississippi Republican governor continues to take fire for doling out more than 200 last-minute pardons to convicted criminals ranging from drugs and weapons offenses to kidnapping and murder. This week, the Mississippi Supreme Court will hold a hearing on the constitutionality of the pardons—which exonerated 13 convicted murderers, four of whom had worked in the governor’s mansion as “trusties” and have been free since last month. State Attorney General Jim Hood, a Democrat, seeks to have dozens of the pardons overturned on a legal technicality and the murderers returned to prison. The former governor, President Ronald Reagan’s former White House political director, has defended his actions, saying in a statement that some people “misunderstood” the clemency and pardon process and that about 90 percent of those affected were no longer in custody. He stated the move was to “allow them to find gainful employment or acquire professional licenses as well as hunt and vote.” The explanation holds little weight with political adversaries, members of the public, or the families of the convicted murderers’ victims, however. Harbour, you’re already out of office, but we couldn’t resist giving you the final, loving, boot out the door…You’re fired!
Unemployment—bull’s eye As hiring goes up, the national unemployment rate hits 8.3 percent, the biggest surge for the job market in a year. And not a moment too soon—we blew our life savings betting “tails” on the Super Bowl coin toss! ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The Book The Poison Tree By Erin Kelly Erin Kelly’s debut, The Poison Tree, has frequently been compared to the works of Donna Tartt and Tana French, and the comparison works: All authors created moodily staged, atypical crime thrillers that kept the reader hooked to the end. The Poison Tree vacillates between present day—as narrator Karen picks up her boyfriend, Rex, from prison—and then moves to 10 years earlier, explaining ultimately how Rex ended up there. Karen is smart—she’s a keen linguist who can pick up languages at the drop of a hat—but in the decade prior, she was a naive university student, living a very staid life with her three upper-class roommates. Suffice it to say, there was lots of tennis and cooking dinner and ski holidays. Then one day Karen meets the enigmatic, waifish Biba Capel, who is looking for a German tutor to help her with a theater role. Biba, full of everything that Karen never knew she wanted, sucks Karen into her bohemian lifestyle, which includes a messy old house on the edge of a forest and an intense older brother named Rex. Karen ultimately moves in with the duo and gets wound ever deeper in their intense relationship until catastrophe occurs. It’s hard to describe any more without spoilers, but Kelly does a fantastic job of creating the world in which these characters reside, especially the fateful, taut and ultimately volatile summer Karen stayed with the Capel siblings. —Jenn Kane

Last week’s Off The Reservation by Jed Morey addressed the issue of the burgeoning conflict with Iran. This week Dorian Dale, frequent contributor to JedMorey.com, returns the volley.
Ayatollyah So! By Dorian Dale
There was a mysterious blast at a manufacturing facility outside Teheran last November. This past week the Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs told the annual Herzliya security conference that the Iranians were setting up to produce a missile with a 10,000 kilometer range that could hit the United States. U.S. analysts were quick to point out that known Iranian missiles have but a maximum range of 1,200 miles—enough to reach Israel…. Go to the video tape to watch a “concerned” President Bush in the fall of ’02: “Iraq has a growing fleet (of UAVs) that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas…for missions targeting the United States.” Not for the last time will we be misled by rhetorical mushroom clouds into the fog of war with its Rumsfeldian “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns.” In the lifted lyrics of John “Beach Boy” McCain, do we “Bomb, bomb, bomb…bomb, bomb Iran”?
In The Partition of Palestine, Kermit Roosevelt (Teddy’s grandson) asked, “Will the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine jeopardize the position of the United States in the Middle East?” He thought it would in 1948; moreover, it would “ease the path of Soviet infiltration.” A comparable rationale was offered when, as Our CIA Man in Teheran, Kermit spearheaded TPAJAX, which ousted the country’s elected prime minister after he proposed nationalizing its oil, a sovereign assertion that would’ve placed Iran, in our estimation, “behind the Iron Curtain.” Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Bollywood handsome head of Egypt, made a parallel move three years later in 1956, by nationalizing the Suez Canal. Wielding Israel Defense Forces as the tip of their spear, England and France sought to regain the Canal and oust Nasser. While the U.S. applied economic pressure on the Brits and French behind the scenes, it was newly installed Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev who got Third World cred
for threatening to use nuclear weapons in support of Egypt. Nuclear brinkmanship didn’t work so well when Khrushchev went eyeball-to-eyeball with the U.S. over Cuba in ’62...and blinked. Two more clashes with Egypt brought Israel and their most potent Middle East adversary to the Camp David peace accords in ’79. It would usher in more than three decades of peaceful coexistence with Egypt even as the Shah was falling to the cursed Ayatollahs. Twentysix years of fealty and cut-rate oil out of the Shah’s regime was a darned good return on the paltry five-figure amount Kermit Roosevelt claimed in expenses. For all the scorn heaped on Jimmy Carter, Camp David remains the most sustained contribution to Israel’s security. Israeli intelligence didn’t anticipate the Arab Spring spreading to Egypt and, once it did, Prime Minister Netanyahu beseeched the U.S. to stand by Mubarek. Subsequent election of the Muslim Brotherhood on Israel’s passive southern front combines with the five-year old Hamas electoral victory on their western flank to make Likudniks very nervous. Netanyahu’s neo-con alter-ego, Newt Gingrinch, has weighed in: “I think we may, in fact, be having an anti-Christian spring. I think people should take this pretty soberly.” Rosy neo-con visions of sugar plum oil fields and Jeffersonian democracy fairies transforming the Middle East have blurred beyond recognition over the past decade. So, it’s a good time to change the subject and refocus. And where better to draw a bead on than that spinning Axle of Evil—Iran? Ever ready to play Mad Mullah to Zealous Zionists, Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei has trash-talked, yet again, about removing the “cancer” that is Israel. “So far,” Khamenei boasted to the “Islamic Awakening and Youth Conference” in Teheran last week, “the Iranian nation has kicked them in the mouth at every stage.” One bold “Awakening” attendee held up a pesky sign—“Syria?”—to remind everyone that growing numbers of Syrians will never awaken again, thanks to the brutal crackdown of Iran’s close ally, Bashar “The Butcher” al-Assad. The fall of Assad would blow a huge strategic hole in Iran’s hegemony. Add to that equation the Persian Spring, which was quickly quelled by Khamenei/Ahmadinejad in a forceful flash-freeze. Deep-seeded discomfort with the Arab Spring is one response Israelis and Iranians share in common. Given the rough neighborhood Israelis live in, how far off is Armageddon if the mullahs get the bomb? The specter of nuclear Iran was raised in 1992 by Israel’s then Prime Minister Peres as well as current P.M., Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu who predicted back then that Iran was three to five years away from getting the bomb. Before the Shah was toppled in 1979, one intelligence report
had him setting up “a clandestine nuclear weapons development program.” A looming Iranian bomb has been sighted more frequently than the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot. Recently retired Mossad director Meir Dagan, reflecting substantive differences in the Israeli intelligence and defense community, said that an attack on Iran would be “a stupid idea.... The regional challenge that Israel would face would be impossible.” With last year’s exodus of Dagan along with the chief of general staff and the Shin Bet director, “there is no one to stop Bibi and (Defense Minister) Barak.” Lest one dismiss the long-serving Dagan as a weak sister, heed the words of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon: “Dagan’s specialty is separating an Arab from his head.” As oil hovers around the $100/bbl mark, traders have currently dismissed the saber rattling as so much bluster. But with 40 percent of world oil transported through Iran’s Strait of Hormuz, conflict would drive the current price up anywhere from 25-75 percent sending a gallon soaring close to $6. Add these sobering facts: Iran has 25 percent more people than Iraq and Afghanistan combined, and land mass nearly four times that of its neighbor, Iraq. In the guestimate of the current Israeli chief of staff, the Iranians possess enough fissionable material to package four nukes at some point. The Israeli nuclear arsenal is approximately two orders of magnitude greater, an order of magnitude lower than the usual Israeli eye-for-an-eyelash ratio. The South Koreans have reconciled themselves to a nuclear North whose Martian leadership makes the mullahs look like hippies. Moreover, since Nagasaki, no nuclear nation, no matter how extreme, has been reckless enough to use a bomb. That restraint won’t prevail forever. Can the Likudniks constrain themselves, resigned to sanctions of the economic and targeted variety? Mysterious explosions, the Stuxnet virus and elimination of a half-dozen nuclear scientists have markedly crimped Iran’s weaponization. Soon the capacity of the Iranian central bank will be SWIFTmoated, severing their capacity for secure electronic financial exchange. “Iran’s economy has always been sick, but now it seems worse than ever,” said a Teheran bank employee about the prospects of more sanctions. Nonetheless, pre-emptive strikes like the ones Israel executed against Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007 remain mighty tempting.

My brain is fried. I can’t put two words together. Let me explain: I’m a N.Y. football Giants fan. But I’m not like you. You were very happy the Giants won the Super Bowl and you had a few extra drinks and went to bed happy. I went bananas. I disgraced myself at our Super Bowl party by screaming every few minutes, “They’re gonna lose … they’re gonna lose …” I was hysterical, with my knees pulled up against my chest on every play, drooling and cursing Perry Fewell, the Giants’ inept defensive coordinator. Quite a few women who watched the game with us went up to my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, at the end of the game and offered their condolences. I heard a few of them whisper, “How can you be married to that man?” One woman, whom I’ve never heard utter a negative word about anyone, walked out of my house and looked back at me and mumbled to Judy, “You poor thing. He’s a f&$%ing Debbie Downer.” What people didn’t understand is that 99 percent of fans love their team and always feel like they are going to win. Then there’s that 1 percent of us who are the real fans, who know better and who always think their team is going to lose. My fears last Sunday started with the National Anthem. The Giants have a tight end named Travis Beckum, who I felt would be important this game. Beckum is brittle. I saw him singing along with the National Anthem and I feared he would try to hit a high note and give himself a hernia. As it was, two minutes into the game he was writhing on the ground and had to be carted off. The other real fans and I who make up the 1 percent knew it was going to happen. I told no one at my party about my superstition. I noticed at one point in the second half when the score was 17 to 12 in favor of the Patriots that every time I took a sip of vodka the Giants stopped the Patriots. So from then on when the Patriots had the ball I took a sip of vodka before each play. That’s a lot of vodka. Don’t laugh. The Patriots didn’t score another point after I applied the Vodka Jinx. Let me tell you about that Brady Hail Mary pass in the last five seconds. You saw it replayed a couple of times on television; by now you’ve forgotten it. I still see it every few minutes. I walk
down the street and the play is right before my eyes. The ball goes up. I start to panic. Sometimes in my imagination the ball hits the ground, as it actually did. One, maybe two out of 10 times, the ball pops up in the air and Gronkowski dives and catches it. I hear the announcer scream, “The Patriots win! The Patriots win!” I went to bed with my earphones in my radio listening to WFAN, hungry for anything I could hear about the Giants’ victory. It was like being alone in an insane asylum. All I wanted to do was to listen to the call-ins about the game. Do you have any idea who calls a sports radio station about a football game in the middle of the night? Do you want to know who listens to WFAN at 4:30 in the morning? Drunks. There was Al from Staten Island, Sid from the Bronx, Paulie from Kings Highway … Their voices were slurred. They just wanted to talk about the Giants. My favorite was Vinny from Mineola. Vinny started, “Hello Jack. Dish ish Vinny from Mineola. Dish was the besssst er … er … football game ever. Jack, what do you know? I lisshen to you every ni ni ni night and jor a Washhhington Redssskinnns faan. Do you know why the ere r Giants … er ... er … er …” [silence]. Jack the announcer came on and said, “Vinny? Vinny? Oh, we’re having some technical difficulties with Vinny’s call.” Baloney. There weren’t any technical difficulties. Vinny had fallen asleep. Jack came on and said, “Let’s go to Mary in Bayonne.” Mary was drunker than Vinny and still I listened. I had just one hour’s sleep last night. I had a nightmare that Brandon Jacobs was discussing his theory of relativity with me, and every time I looked confused he knocked me down. I woke up, went back to sleep and had the strangest dream of them all. Before I tell you let me assure you that I’m straight. In this dream Eli Manning and I were living together as a couple in Indianapolis. We had decided to adopt a Chinese baby. I woke up with a start. That’s crazy. Besides, what would we call the kid? Victor, after Victor Cruz? Or maybe Mario, after Mario Manningham? Has there ever been a Chinese baby called Hakeem? Then I jumped out of bed. I just may never sleep again.

Michelle has a Masters Degree and many years of experience in the childcare setting. As the director Michelle plays a major part in running the day-to-day operations of the center.
““The dedication of the teachers at Kiddie Academy (combined with a great studentteacher ratio) has fostered a nurturing environment that has enhanced our son’s ability to learn and relate to other children. As parents we recognize that early success in school has a profound impact on a child’s development and educational career; we cannot help but be excited for the possibilities such a wonderful start has opened for our son. We feel that Kiddie Academy has furnished him with the basic tools as well as the confidence that will be critical later on, and for this we want to express our deepest thanks and appreciation.” ~ Parent of Four year old

The costly battle to turn this Syosset Field into a high-end shopping center By Spencer Rumsey
srumsey@longislandpress.com At 65 mph on the Long Island Expressway it’s hard to see the significance of the brown field wedged along the North Service Road at Exit 43A and Robbins Lane, but those 39 acres in Syosset have marked a monumental battle that’s been going on for nearly two decades, costing millions of dollars with no end in sight. The battle began in 1986, when the Cerro Wire Factory stopped making steel electrical conduits, copper rods and steel strips for the construction industry at the site. Then the Tribune Company was supposedly going to build a printing plant and distribution center to compete with Newsday’s monopoly on Long Island, as the newspaper had launched its New York edition to give the New York City tabloids competition. Instead, the Chicago-based company sold the property to the Michigan-based developer of upscale malls, the Taubman Company, which wanted to build almost 1 million-square feet there with nearly 5,000 parking spaces for its high-end anchor tenants, Nieman Marcus and Nordstrom. Predictably, the plan quickly ran smack into vehement local opposition. There’s an elementary school within a mile, and a Long Island Rail Road crossing at grade level on Robbins Lane, to name two complaints. Taubman has since scaled back its proposal, now set at 750,000-square feet, but that has not appeased the opponents of the mall. In fact, anyone driving south on Robbins Lane from Jericho Turnpike today can see a large billboard with bright yellow letters on a green background proclaiming: “Taubman Co.: Listen to the community! No mall here!” Interestingly, the billboard and the website advertised on it, www.NoMallHere.com, are sponsored by Simon Property Group, an Indianapolis-based developer, which happens to already own four malls on Long Island: Roosevelt Field in Garden City, Walt Whitman in Huntington Station, Smith Haven in Lake Grove and the Source Mall in Westbury. Recently some residents of Nassau County received a glossy mailing from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., Taubman’s headquarters, depicting an artistic rendering of “The Mall at Oyster Bay.” The illustration of the future shopping center is stuck on a rusted metal post in an overgrown field, presumably News

“The unions came out at the first major public hearing in Oyster Bay and they packed the room,” says someone who was actively engaged at the time in drumming up support for the Taubman project but asked not to be named. On the other side of the room were people from the Birchwood neighborhoods north of the location on Robbins Lane, along with other civic leaders. The meeting started at 10 a.m. and ran until 4 a.m. the next morning. “It was a knock-down, drag-out fight,” this person tells the Press. Judging from the accusations flung by both sides of the issue today, the bellicosity shows no sign of abating. And that puts an advocate for local development like Desmond Ryan, executive director of the Association for a Better Long Island, in a no-man’s land, since both the Taubman Company and Simon Property are members of his progrowth organization. “It’s probably one of the best parcels of real estate on Long Island, based on its size and its location,” Ryan says. “To have it sit there, lying fallow for almost 20 years,” he continues, “is basically a regional disgrace.”
the disputed parcel. In bold letters, it spells out the developer’s stance: “Some see an empty lot. We see jobs, lower taxes and funding for schools.” Recipients are urged to go to Taubman’s website: www. LongIslandJobsNow.com. Among the claims touted by the pamphlet are that the project would generate “5,500 new, good jobs and close widening budget gaps by creating $50 million in tax revenue annually, including $5 million in annual revenue for Syosset schools.” Still, it’s a tough sell. “Their numbers are not realistic,” says Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto, a Republican who took office in 1998. He says “their arguments are specious.” In 2001, the town board denied Taubman’s proposal that reduced the mall to 860,000square feet. Since then, Venditto says, Oyster Bay has been While the town waited for waiting for Taubman to start Taubman to file its SEIS, Taubman’s the Supplemental Environmenteam turned their attention tal Impact Statement (SEIS) —oyster bay town supervisor elsewhere, getting the Oyster Bay process, “which was ordered” john venditto proposal listed late last year as one by the Appellate Court in 2009, of the “projects of regional sigVenditto says, to review whether the 750,000-square-foot mall “achieves the necessary nificance” by the Long Island Regional Economic degree of mitigation” that had caused the town board Development Council (LIREDC), co-chaired by Kevin Law, head of the Long Island Association, and to deny the previous application. “Instead of processing the application, which they Stuart Rabinowitz, president of Hofstra University. should have been doing,” Venditto adds, the developer The strategic plan, which won a $100 million share has launched a “media blitz” that preys “upon people’s of Gov.

Quality Review Act [SEQRA]… The LIREDC recommends that the State assert itself as Lead Agency for all projects identified in the Strategic Plan. Such a declaration could fasttrack projects that have been identified as transformative, without posing any threats to the environment that the law was designed to protect. No changes in state law or regulation would be required as long as a state agency is either undertaking, approving or funding a part of the project.” “What does that tell you?” Avrutine asks. “They’re looking for a way to get away from the Town of Oyster Bay, which is the authority over this matter. In essence, they’re trying to change the rules of the game.” Regarding this possible maneuver, Venditto tells the Press: “I can’t think of anything more offensive to the notion of local zoning control than this… usurpation of town authority.” Any attempt to circumvent the SEQRA process would meet firm opposition from state Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset), a key member of the environmental conservation committee. “I would oppose that,” he says. Nor would he want to see any change in the lead agency on the project. “I agree with the town.” Tension was high this week at

the monthly meeting of the Long Island Regional Planning Council, which was supposed to cast a nonbinding vote on whether it should also designate Taubman’s Oyster Bay mall idea as a “project of regional significance.” Lobbyists from both sides were gathered at Molloy College’s campus at Republic Airport, exchanging glares and smirks across the sunlit conference room. But it was all for naught, as there was no quorum. In fact, they couldn’t even move to adjourn, as Paul Tonna, the vice chairman, observed. The chairman, John Cameron, had recused himself because his engineering firm had done traffic studies at the site for Taubman, as well as overseeing the final cleanup of the contamination—getting approval from the State Department of Environmental Conservation in 2001 for commercial development, but not for residential use. Bringing the site up to today’s stricter standards might cost a developer millions of dollars, Cameron says, and that would discourage mixed-use proposals involving housing. Members of the Cerro Wire Coalition think the range would be between $3 million to $5 million, a “rounding error” for a multi-milliondollar project, they say, insisting that “alternate development”—an office complex, a bio-tech center, or even a Marriott Hotel—would work well.

On hand for the vote that didn’t happen—it’s set for the next meeting on March 6—was Bruce W. Heckman, Taubman’s vice president for development, who flew in from Michigan. “I’ve been involved in rezoning over 40 million-square feet of retail in the United States,” he tells the Press. “I’ve seen every kind of SEQRA there is, and I’ve never seen a more flagrant abuse of SEQRA than in the Town of Oyster Bay.” He says Taubman may go back to

court or file the supplemental environmental statement the town has been demanding. He says the SEQRA files would already stack up higher than him, and he’s 6-foot-1. Opponents of the mall point to Taubman’s recent hiring of Resi Cooper, formerly Hillary Clinton’s regional director when she was senator; Dan Perkins, formerly vice president of the Long Island Association; and Pat Lynch, who used to be Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s top aide and close confidante. Taubman’s team counters that Simon has hired Patrick Halpin, former

Suffolk County executive, as well as funded the creation of “phantom” civic groups in the Syosset area near the mall. “The fact that they’ve had their tax status revoked or only have a P.O. box speaks to whether or not they represent a broad swath of people in the community like they say they do,” says Menashe Shapiro, a spokesman for the developer who was director of opposition research for Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s re-election campaign and a spokesman for Dan Donovan, a Republican who ran for New York State Attorney General in 2010. “By barely existing, one can credibly argue that they don’t.” Kevin Ryan, a publicist and a leader of the Cerro Wire Coalition, countered that the only reason the civic groups lost their tax-exempt status is because of “sloppy paperwork.” Avrutine defended Simon Property’s help. “The community is very, very fortunate and very, very thankful that Simon has supported us,” says Avrutine, who’s been involved in this issue since 1995. “Quite frankly we were happy to get it because it put us on a level playing field with these guys.” That’s not how the Taubman team sees the situation. Simon Property, whose 337 properties comprise some 245 million-square feet in North America and Asia, just turned in “outstanding”

results for the last quarter, a spokesman tells the Press, and the stock “is near a record high.” Their pockets are deep but their methods run deeper. “There’s transparency on the Taubman side, there’s zero transparency on the side of the opposition,” says Shapiro. “This is basically a competitor doing anything necessary to block what is a legitimate and good idea, not just for Taubman but for all Long Island, and it’s keeping people out of work. And it’s keeping $5 million a year out of the hands of the Syosset public school system, which is what they’d get directly from the mall.” The Syosset school district, which, The New York Post writes, “serves an enclave of gated communities, ritzy eateries and children’s boutiques like ‘Spoiled Rotten,’” has earned the dubious distinction of having the highest paid superintendent in the state, Carole Hankin, who gets $506,322 in reported compensation—almost $200,000 more than that paid the New York City schools chancellor. The district and the school board declined to comment on the mall issue despite repeated requests by the Press. However, Jeffrey Rozran, the president of the Syosset Teachers Association for 18 years, did go on the record, at least to defend the superintendent’s stratospheric salary. “The basic feeling is that

she’s worth every penny,” he tells the Press. “It’s no mystery why you would be the highest paid when you are a manager of one of the best performing school districts in the state, and you’ve been there for 22 years.” As for the Taubman mall proposal, Rozran says: “We certainly believe that something should be built there. We don’t have a position on what….It’s very sad that with this level of unemployment we can’t come to some conclusion on what to build on that property.” And therein lies the rub. “At the end of the day it’s up to Oyster Bay and the local community to determine what the fate of this project is,” says Eric Alexander, head of Vision Long Island, a pro-smart growth advocacy group. Wilbur Breslin, famed Long Island developer, says he agreed with the community’s argument that Taubman’s mall proposal is “too dense,” but he firmly believes that the Island’s 3 million people are “under-retailed.” With that kind of population, he says, “You could have anywhere from 15-20 [enclosed] malls; we only have seven.” He actually bid on the Cerro site, proposing a 450,000-square-foot project, but lost. Almost two decades later, he has no regrets. “They chose Taubman, thank goodness!” He’s not the only local developer to feel no remorse about a failed bid for the Cerro site. Vincent Polimeni, chairman of Garden City-based development firm Polimeni International, says: “Fortunately, I bid on it and lost to [Taubman]. The best thing that never happened.” Still, Polimeni thinks it’s a great site for something big. “You can go on the Expressway and off the Expressway without going anywhere near the town,” he says. “What’s the problem, guys? It’s mindboggling…. This would enhance the area. I can’t understand it. ” Here’s one explanation from the town leader himself. “We built our malls a long time ago,” Venditto says. “We don’t need any more malls. We need something much more innovative and creative than another shopping mall!” In fact, he says, the town needs housing, and cites that during his administration, he’s added 2,000 affordable housing units for seniors and changed the zoning code to create Next Generation housing for young people, which would encourage condo-ownership in townhouses. Some long-term LI observers scoff at the supervisor’s claims since he has garnered, unfair or not, a reputation outside the town of opposing housing. “Try proposing apartments for Oyster Bay.

named. “Try to pick some areas in the town that have approved multi-family dwellings that are not senior housing. Try to find it!” Another well-connected housing advocate said he thought Venditto’s attitude against affordable housing was “beginning to thaw.” Regardless, Venditto holds the upper hand on the fate of the Mall at Oyster Bay, for now. “Under the current facts and circumstances,” says Venditto, folding his hands on his desk in his supervisor’s office, “as long as I am sitting here, I will continue to oppose the introduction of a mall at the Cerro Wire site.” Venditto’s steadfastness isn’t surprising, says a well-connected LI real estate attorney who asked not to be named. “When you have a supervisor who wins by 72 percent of the vote, I don’t see that changing… He’s adored by the Town of Oyster Bay, so he’s going to stay there as long as he wants.” On the other hand, this attorney would love to see development on the site. “There has to be a compromise,” the attorney says. “But it all starts and ends with John Venditto. He is the town!” For Venditto, his opposition to the Taubman mall sounds visceral. “I have a sense of what the town should look like, smell like, feel like,” he says. “And that’s what this is about.” Asked about what legacy he’d like to leave Oyster Bay, the 62-year-old supervisor says he would want people to remember “that I tried my very best to preserve the suburban quality of life that our residents cherish.” Meanwhile, as one season turns to another, not much is worth preserving on that empty brown field near the expressway.

GUNS N’ ROSES @ ROSELAND BALLROOM This year is shaping up to be a biggie in the Guns N’ Roses world. Not only is the original line-up of the band getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but guitarist Slash is getting set to release his untitled sophomore solo album in May and founding member/drummer Steven Adler’s mother is getting set to put out a tell-all book in April. All this drama comes as Axl Rose, still recovering from the bizarre events surrounding 2008’s Chinese Democracy and rumored to be releasing a new record this year, swings through New York City for a trio of club dates. Most intriguing is that Webster Hall is temporarily going back to being called The Ritz, which was the site of a historic 1988 gig originally taped for MTV. Friday, 2.10. Also 2.12 @, Terminal 5 and on 2.15 @ Webster Hall (aka The Ritz.) —Dave Gil de Rubio

THAT GIRL IN PINK @ ACADEMY OF AMERICAN STUDIES Benni Cinkle became unintentionally famous overnight after her brief appearance in her friend’s music video—Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” Blogs and Tumblr accounts sprung up everywhere mocking “that girl in pink” dancing awkwardly in the video, but 14-year-old Cinkle responded to the attention in the best way imaginable—by starting a non-profit organization supporting various causes that she felt passionate about called the That Girl in Pink Foundation. Benni is touring, visiting several schools around the country to talk to students about her experience with being bullied and how they can handle similar situations. The Anti-Bullying Presentation called, “Don’t Just Stand There,” will educate students on how serious of a problem bullying has become, not just in school but through phones and computers as well. Stop by—in the immortal words of Rebecca Black, it’ll be “fun fun fun fun!” 9:45 & 11:40 a.m. Wednesday, 2.15—Jaclyn Gallucci

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide By Licia Avelar
lavelar@longislandpress.com
Valentine’s Day is a day reserved for lovers, but it could be a day for a breakup if you don’t give a great gift. From a pair of cufflinks to a fancy dress or cute coffee mug, there are a ton of great choices to give this year. Here are a few you can pick up on Long Island:
For The Business Man Love Cufflinks ($59, Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Tanger Outlets At The Arches, Deer Park) There’s nothing like a little reminder of love everyday. These cufflinks are the perfect piece. They offer a little stamp of love to your special someone’s sleeve.
For The Lovebird Two Little Birdies Necklace ($24, Ooh La La Boutiques, Multiple Locations) Sometimes Valentine’s Day is a confusing holiday for a new couple. I assure you, this golden necklace, featuring two lovebirds, makes the perfect present for your first holiday. The lovebirds are kissing on a branch that hangs from an 8” chain.
For The Glamour Girl Betsey Johnson Glitzy Girl Top Zip ($139, Betsey Johnson, Tanger Outlets At The Arches, Deer Park) Pocketbooks are meant to stand out. Betsey Johnson is an expert when it comes to standout bags and this one in particular speaks for itself. It features rhinestones, a pink bow and makes for a great bag for a night on the town.
