Sound Smart at a Party 7-Eleven answered our prayers!
The company kicked off its “Flavors of Summer” campaign with Slurpee Lite Fanta Sugar-Free Mango, the first Slurpee-branded, sugar-free drink and the first sugar-free frozen beverage. The new drink has 50 percent less calories than the traditional Slurpee drink, with an 8-ounce Slurpee Lite containing only 20 calories. It’s sweetened with Splenda (sucralose) in place of sugar. Sugar-Free Mango will be available until the end of June, followed by Sugar-Free Strawberry Banana for the month of July and Sugar-Free Cherry Limeade in August. The company plans to add additional flavors through the end of the year. Free tastings of the Sugar-Free Mango will be available at participating 7-Eleven stores on the official launch date, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m… Sweet. No one said that criminals weren’t clueless. Two men robbed an
Internet café in Brazil at gunpoint, but their perfect getaway was foiled when one of the men forgot something very
important. The suspects were using the computers at the café before they held up the register at gunpoint, stole money, and sped off on a motorcycle. Unfortunately for them, one of the men was so focused on the impending robbery that he forgot to log out of Facebook. Police were able to use his Facebook page to track down his address and arrest him... Here’s one more bad side effect of the obesity epidemic: A new study found that it might be contributing to a growing shortage of organ donors.
Researchers at Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine (yes, our Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine!) analyzed 104 living potential kidney donors and found that only 18 percent fell into a normal weight range, according to their body mass index. What’s worse is that 23 percent of the potential donors had a BMI higher than 35, putting them in the morbidly obese category. The remaining 82 percent were considered in the range of overweight to morbidly obese. While

this particular center won’t let anyone morbidly obese become a donor, other centers make the cutoff at a BMI of 30. This index would make approximately 40 percent of the potential donors used in the study ineligible… A Florida schoolteacher is in the doghouse for allegedly using a “cone of shame” canine collar to discipline her high school students. Normally, this
type of collar prevents an animal from licking its wounds after surgery, but not in this case. Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp
“Pregnant women would say, ‘Yeah, pregnancy is really great and lovely, but then you go to the hospital and they give you your baby and you have to mother it.’ That’s the part that’s important, mothering the baby, and at the end of the day, that’s what this movie is about.”

is accused of making at least eight of her ninth grade students wear them in April. Her inspiration may have come after she showed her class the movie Up, where the “cone of shame” appears. Parents told school officials about the ruff allegations and they then sniffed out photos on students’ Facebook profiles. Pasco County schools superintendent Heather Fiorentino has recommended firing the 47-year-old BaileyCutkomp, but the teacher is appealing the decision. Until then, she’s on a tight leash…

Letters to the Press Last week’s cover story, “River Keepers,” about stifled plans to save the Carmans River in Brookhaven township, stirred up a debate among our readers. Here are a few letters we received.
Carman Plan A Wash
Dear Editor: The Carman’s plan that the task force created protects the waters of the river, but only for a few years (roughly five to 10) and it does not address the accelerated pollution that will take place along the other rivers (or to our drinking water) as a result of the heavy use of multi-family zoning in the rest of the Town of Brookhaven. And while the alternative plan has the advantage of making sure the Pine Barrens credits are finally paid for (that is the land owners finally get some money for the rights they gave up), it fails to provide as much complete protection of the Carmans. We should be creating a plan to protect all the rivers and our drinking water for the next 100 or 1,000 years. What it will take is a change in the regulations of the county health department so that homes can be occupied without having to have a waterbased toilet. In other countries around the world, in other states (e.g. Vermont), and in places as near as the Bronx Zoo, non-flush toilet systems have been in use for quite some time so they are not new nor are they unproven. They not only prevent water pollution, they also prevent excessive draw down of water from our aquifers thereby preventing salt water intrusion. But the county health department will not let go of a regulation that requires every new building to have

a flush toilet to get a certificate of occupancy. As we debate the pros and cons of the proposed plans and try to choose the best of each to construct a better plan, we should be pressuring the health department to take a very serious look at non-flush effluent treatment. Only if such systems are allowed can we get a plan that preserves the wilderness feeling of the Carmans and protects all of Suffolk’s water. For the record, were I made aware of the many (so-called) public meetings that took place during the Carmans plan creation and were I to have been told pubic input was desired, I’d have attended more than two of the meetings and spoken up sooner. But I got the distinct feeling that public input was not welcome at the meetings I attended. Jane Fasullo, Setauket
Keep ‘em carman
Dear Editor: Spencer Rumsey’s excellent reporting on the Carmans River plan is a good example of why nothing changes on Long Island and a primer on how a few uncompromising personalities can derail any needed or laudable effort. Supervisor Mark Lesko, one of the good guys in this sorry saga, should be patted on the back for putting together a big plan that protects a river and deals with housing and strengthening the Pine Barrens program. Kudos to the Long Island Press for allocating a lot of ink to an important story that has big implications for the future of Long Island, something the “other Long Island newspaper” seems less inclined to do. George Hoffman, Setauket

The Target
Syosset—partial score Josh Lafazan, the 18-yearold Syosset High School senior, is elected to the school board after Syosset Central School District officials accuse his father of pilfering absentee voting records from a school building. So they’ve got a superintendent who makes more than $500,000 and an 18-year-old on the school board? This district needs a reality show like now.
et Syoss or xFact Time TV
X Factor—partial score Britney Spears and Demi Lovato officially sign on as judges for the next season of Simon Cowell’s singing competition. Well, they can’t be worse than Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger! Just as bad? Yes— without question! But no worse!
a Espad are Medic
Time—partial score The magazine’s latest cover features a mother breast-feeding her 3-yearold child as part of a story on attachment parenting, which promotes extended breast-feeding and co-sleeping. And years of “detachment” therapy in adulthood! TV—partial score Networks save some cult favorites, like Community and Parks and Rec, yet cancel 15 more shows, including Missing and The Firm. But no one greenlighted the Syosset School District reality show we pitched? Cretins! Espada—off target After 11 days of deliberations, former New York State Sen. Pedro Espada, Jr. is found guilty of embezzling $500,000 from a healthcare network in the Bronx, leaving the clinics in poverty while he and his son used the money to support their lavish lifestyle. And they say Obama is going to kill healthcare? Medicare—off target Government investigators say Medicare paid $5.6 billion to 2,600 pharmacies with questionable billings, including a drugstore in Kansas that submitted more than 1,000 prescriptions each for two patients in just one year. Yep—Obamacare will ruin everything!
Young Mitt and friends
Gay classmate
The Equation
“He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him.” – Young Mitt, spring, 1965
The Quote
The Pink Slip Jamie Dimon As the late great Republican Senator from Illinois, Everett Dirksen, once summed it up: “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.” When JPMorgan Chase took a $2 billion trading loss in credit derivatives, Jamie Dimon, the big bank’s chief, just called it “stupid.” He can afford to screw up; it’s not coming out of his pocket. The only person to take the fall so far is Ina Drew, who let Chase people with names like “The London Whale” and “Voldemort” work their magic. She made $14 million last year. He got $23 million. Imagine how far all that money might go putting people back to work fixing our schools, repairing our roads and bridges, helping those in need, and actually, you know, making things. Forget it, that’s not how this financial world works. Dimon has made a name for himself saying that the banking business doesn’t need tougher federal regulation, thank you very much. And that little housing bubble that threw our economy over the cliff thanks to bad loans that only benefited the top executives who approved them? No worries. That’s in the past. Trust us, says Jamie Dimon. Yeah, right, but he’s got taxpayer-insured deposits to hedge his risky bets with and he fights government oversight at every turn. It’s time President Obama found a new banker. Dimon’s a symbol of everything that’s wrong with our Gilded Age. This guy should pack up his gold pens and go work at OTB. Jamie Dimon, you billionaire boodler, you’re fired.
“They came upon [their gay classmate] Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.” – Washington Post, May 10, 2012
“Back in high school, I did some dumb things, and if anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize…. I don’t recall the incident myself.” —Mitt Romney, May 11, 2012
“I do not favor marriage between people of the same gender and I don’t favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name.” —Mitt Romney, May 9, 2012
The Photo
“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends’ parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage… I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox. …Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.”

The Rundown
1. HANG WITH JERSEY SHORE’S SNOOKI: The now pregnant and sober Nicole Polizzi comes to the Book Revue in Huntington May 18 at 7 p.m. signing her latest book, Gorilla Beach. Yes, that’s really the name. And of course the book is about two guidettes on the Jersey Shore hunting for tan, juicehead, gorilla, guidos and avoiding “douchebags.” Yikes. 2. HEAD OUT TO THE BOARDY BARN: The Boardy Barn is the ultimate warm-weather destination, and with $1 cup specials, it’s the best place to enjoy, oh, 10 or 20 beers on a Sunday with thousands of your closest friends you haven’t even met yet under the big tent in the Hamptons. The more beers you buy, the more smiley-face stickers you receive, which is why by the end of the day everyone—and everything—is covered with them. Sundays at the Boardy Barn begin May 20. Be there. 3. MEET FEAR OF FLYING AUTHOR ERICA JONG: Not everyone is a fan of 50 Shades of Grey. In fact some people downright hate the book and hate the writing. And before 50 Shades had librarians and schoolteachers flinging their bras in the air, there was Fear of Flying, the erotic novel that opened the “sexual door” of women’s fiction so-tospeak. Author Erica Jong comes to BookHampton in East Hampton May 19 at 8 p.m. to speak about some of her raciest passages—and the subservient female role portrayed in 50 Shades of Grey.
4. GO TO SPLISH SPLASH WATER PARK: Yes, this is the summer you were referring to last summer when you confidently said you would go on the Cliff Diver slide next summer. What? It’s only an eight-story, three-second drop. While you’re trying to gather your courage, check out the brand spankin’ new 4-foot wave pool. 5. GET CAUGHT IN SPIDER-MAN’S WEB: Spider-Man turns 50 this year, and Marvel wants everyone to know. With the Sony Pictures re-boot, The Amazing Spider-Man, hitting theaters July 3rd, Marvel is offering up plenty excitement to hold us over. Next week, new Spidey stories Ends of The Earth and Spider-Men begin and are sure to put everyone’s favorite wall-crawler through the ringer and then some.
6. ENTER THE ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL CONTEST: Here’s your chance to sail the seas with your favorite heavy metal bands. Sirius XM Liquid Metal is giving one lucky fan the chance to win a killer grand prize: a backstage BBQ and full party bus for you and 21 of your friends through May 30. Enter online at www.siriusxm.com/liquidmetal to score a pair of VIP passes to one of the festival stops this summer featuring face melting performances by Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, Motorhead, As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada and more. 7. ORDER A WICKED LASER: Star Wars fanatics, this one goes out to you… Get ready to wield the world’s first and only LaserSaber energized by the awesome light of the S3 Krypton & Arctic handheld WickedLaser, and featuring an ultra smooth magnetic gravity system that can “power up” and “power down!” Yeah, we have no idea what any of that means, but doesn’t it sound freaking amazing? 8. GOOGLE “SERENA WILLIAMS RAP DEBUT”: A clip from a rap track by the champion tennis player hits the Internets and it’s full of tennis references. No surprises there. The song was reportedly recorded last year and—brace yourself— goes something like this: “I ball hard no tennis racket/I can’t see these haters through my Gucci glasses/I make hits like batting practice—they be like ‘Serena, is you really rapping?’” Unfortunately, she is… 9. GOOGLE “BILL NYE DANCING TO HIS THEME”: This is not the science guy you may remember. Renowned for his TV show, and wide knowledge of science, Bill Nye has cut loose! Check out Bill Nye dancing and singing with the band, Bill Nye and The Science Guys. Though very entertaining, Bill should stick to science. Head to YouTube to see the science guy dance and sing with the Colorado college band. It’s members are unrelated to Mr. Nye, but are huge fans. Nye was in the Colorado Springs area and wanted to do a gig with the Science Guys, and the rest is history. 10. YOUTUBE “WE OWE IT ALL TO YOU”: National Armed Forces Day, a day to honor all the men and women who serve our country, is May 19, and Matty Kaspak of St. James has gotten nearly 10,000 views for his tune saluting our soldiers set to a military slideshow of pictures soldiers sent him after listening to the song.

The Book I Can’t Seem to Find My Tail! Book Set By Diane Baumann
Kidz Entertainment, Inc. kidzentertain mentinc.com
Imagine a cuddly stuffed animal that can also be used as a muff to keep your hands warm on those cooler days or a purse when you’re on the go—a purse that comes with coloring and story books, music, puzzles and all sorts of cool stuff. This, simply put, is a kid’s dream and it’s the brainchild of Long Islander Diane Baumann, who created a series of products to give kids an educational, entertaining and interactive experience bundled into an adventure. I Can’t Seem to Find My Tail!, a picture book story of friendship, features bright illustrations along with a coloring book (with non-toxic crayons), a plush Pansie the Piglet with a lavender pearl necklace, and a music sheet with a CD attached to the back cover, all in a compact carrying case. It is just one of many sets (items are also sold individually) featuring all kinds of loveable plush animals, from cats to dogs, serving as both a muff and handbag, in addition to a cuddly friend. How cute is that? Pop in the CD, open the book and cuddle up with Pansie while you sing along to marvelously bouncy tunes with quirky characters: Biff the surfer-bee; Tasha the hip-hop nightingale; Jeremiah the sailor-frog; and Isabella the aristocratic swan.—Daphne Livingston

Fairuza “Double Double Toil and Trouble” Balk May 21, 1974 Intensely blue-eyed actress Fairuza Balk AKA Nancy Downs in the 1996 semihorror movie The Craft is a Gemini, represented by the intensely blue-colored stone, aquamarine. Balk began her acting career with an appearance as a pig-tailed, happy-go-lucky Dorothy in Disney’s Return to Oz. But just like the Gemini twins, Fairuza’s light side also came with a dark side. Fairuza went on to focus the intense mental energy her sign is known for in a series of dark films in which she played deranged, supernatural-obsessed characters. And in her off time, she opened up an occult shop. Geminis tend to lead unusual and peculiar lives, whether it’s because of their high intelligence—or their ability to communicate with Satan.

Helping Families Stay Afloat Suzanne Kornblatt
Mental Health Supervisor SIBSPlace/ South Nassau Communities Hospital
Most of the families were ordinary. Mom and dad would go to work every day, and after dinner they would help their children with their homework. Weekends were usually filled with running errands and spending some family time together. Suzanne Kornblatt of Woodmere didn’t know these families when they were ordinary. She meets them after
they’ve learned their child or spouse has cancer or another devastating illness; after they’ve stopped doing homework, running normal errands and carving out quality family time. Suzanne doesn’t help them with the sick family member. Instead, she helps the siblings, the one’s who are missing their parents and the structure they were familiar with. These children seek reassurance and comfort from a trusted and responsible ally who understands their pain. For seven years Suzanne has been the heart of Hewlett-based SIBSPlace (Survivorship in Brothers and Sisters), a community service program of South Nassau Communities Hospital that is supported by donor funding.

Suzanne oversees the programs daily operations, plans the therapeutic curriculum, serves as the liaison to the families and facilitates a weekly parent support group. She provides volunteer training to those with a desire to mentor these children and works closely with many community groups to raise awareness about SIBS and to generate additional program funds. Suzanne’s pride in the program is evident as she gave me a tour of SIBS. The art room was overflowing with professional-quality stage backdrops that were painted by SIBS children. A hallway leads to a quiet area furnished with comfortable chairs and there is an alcove where a child could be alone with their thoughts or study without interruption. Suzanne said she likes the way the rooms are situated because it lets the children choose to be social, or not. Only someone who is truly engaged in their lives can know that having that choice is so important. When a devastating illness occurs, everyone in the family needs healing, Suzanne says, but often the parents are so wrapped up in trying to get their sick child or spouse well they lose focus on everything else in their lives. Sometimes a new medication or suffering with constant pain can turn a once loving parent or sibling into a stranger in their own home. That’s when SIBS becomes a lifeline for many of these children to help them understand that they are not alone and what they’re experiencing is happening to other children as well. “We become their place of solace,” Suzanne says. The SIBS after school program is held every Tuesday and Thursday and includes a variety of activities to keep everyone busy and homework support, if needed. Dinner is a familystyle meal that they share together. This home-style program provides an environment where the children can open up about their feelings allowing Suzanne and her staff to gently introduce different coping skills that they can use throughout their lives. “We cannot control the negative

circumstances that occur to children when living through a family crisis,” she says. “What we can do is help them develop the techniques that empower them when faced with painful experiences.” Peer support is an important component of the program, and Suzanne says that many children share a friendship with each other outside of SIBS. “These are people who walked through the journey with them,” she says. There is no particular age when a child must leave SIBS; that decision is left to each individual. “This is home,” she says. “They can stay here for as long as they feel the need.” Family crisis does not take a vacation, so SIBS offers a free six-week summer program to provide the children continuity. Suzanne’s expertise in helping others to become re-engaged in their lives led her to co-author a book called “Staying Afloat,” a guide to help a family cope with illness and to give others some insight into what the family is going through. After learning about SIBS, I can only surmise that there must be hundreds, if not thousands, of Long Island families who could benefit from this unique program. Right now, parents travel to Hewlett from as far away as Kings Park so their children can participate in the program. Through compassion and understanding, Suzanne and the staff at SIBS have seen to the unique needs of these children by providing a safe environment for them to share and to heal. It’s also a place where they can turn to the person next to them and say, “I know how you feel.”

Jerry’s Ink BY JERRY DELLA FEMINA, Publisher, the Independent
Barack Obama’s Winning Commercial Barack Obama, who hustled a whole nation with his “change” jive, was dancing on the fence of the gay marriage issue up until last week. He was fearful of the opposition of the many black churches who are homophobic and, sadly, not ready to extend the rite of marriage to every man and woman. When it comes to gay marriage, Barack Obama the meek had chosen a strategy that his enablers have sometimes characterized as “leading from behind.” What frosts me is how Obama refused to take a stand until his Vice President Joe Biden blurted out that he approved of gay marriage and then Obama jumped in with both feet. Naturally the media complimented Obama on his courageous overnight decision. No one mentioned that the day before the Biden statement Obama said he was still “evolving” on the gay marriage issue. The day after the media carried the Joe Biden statement, Obama evolved. Now I happen to think all politicians lie about everything. But it

would be nice if they waited at least three days before they change their positions. And it would be nice if the pro-Obama media at least give their viewers and readers the courtesy of reporting a brazen political flip-flop, the kind that they love to report about Mitt Romney. So how can my smart Democratic friends possibly be voting for this guy again? As of now, under his first term in office, we’re going broke. Unemployment is higher than it was when Obama took office and sadly, hundreds of thousands of families are running out of their unemployment benefits. The economy has not come back and consumer confidence in Obama is shrinking fast. We may be heading for a worse recession than Obama inherited in 2008. Egypt, Syria, Libya and the rest of Middle East is now up for grabs. To avoid wasting time and to give you a preview of Obama’s presidential campaign, let’s start with the Democrat blame game:

1. It is all George W. Bush’s fault. 2. It is all the fault of the lazy incompetent Congress. Even during the two years when Democrats and Barack Obama controlled the House and the Senate. 3. It is the fault of the rich, who won’t pay their “fair share” of taxes. 4. It is the fault of the large corporations. 5. It is the fault of Fox News. 6. It is the fault of the greedy oil companies. 7. Occupy Wall Street is right. It is the fault of the banks and Goldman Sachs. And now, because I’m such a nice guy, I’m going to give Barack Obama a commercial he can run that will have his supporters rushing to cast their votes for him.
BARACK OBAMA’S WINNING COMMERCIAL
Commercial starts with music: “America the Beautiful.” Close-up of Barack Obama looking confident. Voice-over: “He led the charge and got Osama Bin Laden.” (Cut to a picture of Osama Bin Laden.) VO: “He saved us from the greatest recession since 1929.” (Cut to a close-up of Obama signing his trillion-dollar stimulus bill.)
VO: “He stopped the oil companies from drilling and killing all the wildlife.” (Cut to a picture of bird covered with oil.) VO: “He fought for clean air.” (Cut to a picture of black smoke coming out of a factory chimney.) VO: “He courageously always stood up for the rights of gays to get married.” (Cut to a wedding ceremony of two happy young men.) VO: “He passed the first Health Care bill.” (Cut to a little boy being examined by a doctor who seems happy to work for the state for nothing.) VO: “But most of all … he is not Mitt Romney.” Super on screen: MITT ROMNEY WOULD BE EVEN A WORSE PRESIDENT THAN BARACK OBAMA Democrats have demonized Romney, even though he knows more about spurring on business and creating jobs than Obama will ever know. Although in 2008 many Republicans crossed party lines and voted for Obama, a Democrat will never vote for a Republican. Some of the smartest people I know who are Democrats would vote for Dennis Kucinich for president before they would vote for a Republican, any Republican...and that includes Abraham Lincoln.

the vending machines in Levittown’s two high schools stood stocked with the most tempting of snacks and beverages for its students: candy bars, cookies and chips to name a few. For the past several weeks, though, students wishing to snack between classes discovered the machines empty, with no signs explaining the absence of their booty. Then, on May 15, the mechanical sugar-and-caffeine purveyors themselves disappeared, unceremoniously removed from not only Division Avenue and General Douglas MacArthur High, but wheeled out of the district’s two middle schools, including its education center, by workers of Dover Gourmet Corp.—one of the largest vending machine operators on Long Island. The abrupt withdrawal is the latest skirmish in a quiet, albeit all-out war currently taking place behind the scenes at Levittown, which was sparked, according to court documents, when Dover failed to adhere to stipulations set forth in its service contract with the school district. Among some of the more damning claims: that the company’s vending machines contained treats with sodium, fat and/or caloric content that were well above the district’s allowable limits and violated its Wellness Policy; that the machines weren’t on timers; that some of the machines’ snacks were specifically outlawed by the contract. In March the Levittown School Board decided not to renew Dover’s contract. Following a bidding process, the district selected My Healthy Thing, a five-year-old startup that has been making inroads in the local vending
decisions, decisions: two commack high school students survey the options in a healthy vending machine between classes on a recent school day. The start-up company that provides the machine is being sued by a local vending machine giant after the levittown school district recently followed the trend toward healthier snacks.

machine market—an industry long dominated by waistline-widening goodies. This company stocks its machines with organic fruit, yogurt and smoothies instead of the traditional candy fare. Dover, in response, sued, seeking to block My Healthy Thing from moving in on its turf. A temporary restraining order issued by the judge overseeing the case now bars My Healthy Thing from moving their vending machines into the schools. Yet there’s more at stake in the unfolding legal battle than just who has snack and beverage rights

in Levittown schools. The dispute is the first of its kind pitting an established Long Island vending machine giant such as Dover and its time-worn (though criticized) treats against a new upstart seeking to peddle instead health-conscious tidbits. Whatever happens could set the tone for what Long Island’s students will be munching on between classes into the foreseeable future. The Dover vs. Levittown and My Healthy Thing fight is also emblematic of a larger assault being waged on a local and national

scale against the childhood obesity epidemic, according to an analysis of dozens of LI school vending machines contracts obtained by the Press via Freedom of Information Law requests. The documents detail a trend away from highsugar beverages and snacks toward healthier vending machine food, despite the financial benefits of signing with companies that offer treats from more well-known brands.

The Time Has Come for Alternate Development The Taubman Company’s attempts to take the environmental review process (SEQRA) away from the Town of Oyster Bay and turn it over to NY State, concerning the proposed mega-mall on the former Cerro Wire property in Syosset, is being met with strong opposition across Long Island. A recent LI Business News poll showed 79% of the respondents think authority on SEQRA matters should remain with local government. Alternate development of the Cerro Wire property is the answer.

example, sports equipment like the scoreboard a Pepsi distributor gave Lindenhurst—to help land a contract. All to reach impressionable young minds through their stomachs in the buildings where they spend so many hours of their school day. The yanking of Dover’s machines was the culmination of a years-long fight waged by a small group of persistent parents-turned-advocates toward that anti-obesity end. “We’re ecstatic,” Linda Haas, a Levittown official involved in the push, told a local news reporter after the school district’s March vote in favor of My Healthy Thing. “It’s been an ongoing effort for many years. It’s finally come to fruition.” Even the White House has weighed in on the importance of healthy eating, especially among the nation’s youth. “We can’t just leave it up to the parents,” First Lady Michelle Obama said at the December 2010 signing of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which mandates more nutritious school food through new federal regulations. “I think that parents have a right to expect that their efforts at home won’t be undone each day in the school cafeteria or in the vending machine in the hallway…Parents have a right to expect that their kids will be served fresh, healthy food that meets high nutritional standards.” With such momentum, the school is resolute. “We are optimistic that the court will vindicate our decision,” says Robert Cohen of Lamb & Barnosky LLP, the Melville-based firm defending the Levittown Union Free School District in its move toward more nutritious vending machine snacks. “We’re totally taken aback by the whole matter,” says Wendy Mikkelson, who founded My Healthy Thing after seeing first-hand the sugary snacks in vending machines at the school her children attend.

Dover, however, and its subsidiary Quick Snack, with more than 1,000 vending machines in schools, parks and government offices across Long Island, is not going down without a fight. The company charges in its lawsuit that the process unfairly awarded the contract to the competition after it served the district for years. Dover was surprised to see the debate prior to the vote come down to all healthy food or nothing, according to Dan Deegan of Uniondale-based Forchelli, Curto, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo, Cohn & Terrana, LLP, the law firm representing Dover. “Do you ban Snickers bars or just mix in healthier choices?” Deegan asks. “Some people might want a Snickers bar once in a while.”
Nationwide, nearly one in three children are overweight or obese as a result of poor eating habits and lack of exercise. The rate nearly tripled between 1980 and 2001, increasing health risks later in life such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Health care to treat obesity-related illnesses and conditions cost the nation an estimated $150 billion and New York State more than $7.6 billion annually, according to Jeffrey Hammond, spokesman for the state Department of Health. Although a study published in this month’s edition of the journal Pediatrics indicates some early signs that the child obesity trend could be on the decline, experts say that ridding school vending machines of 600-calorie sticky buns is addressing only one piece of the pie. “I tell parents to look at those snacks and to not have it in the house,” says Dr. Eve Meltzer-Krief of Huntington

Village Pediatrics, suggesting that kids can find junk food in plenty of places besides school vending machines. “If it’s not in the house, they can’t eat it.” A few districts made waves in recent years when they banned homebaked goods from schools, which some saw as an overreaction to the obesity epidemic, effectively depriving children of a classroom birthday celebration tradition. Still, about $2.3 billion worth of snack foods and beverages are sold annually in schools nationwide, The New York Times reports. What’s more, there is limited state oversight regarding “competitive foods,” or snacks and beverages available in school vending machines. “Because New York State has not issued guidance on wellness policies and the appropriate nutrition standards to use when deciding which competitive foods and beverages to offer on their campuses, districts have had to independently develop and implement their own policies,” a 2009 audit of 20 school district nutrition policies by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office found. The report suggested uniform guidance to help ensure that school district wellness policies meet minimum standards, since more than half of the schools audited failed to meet or even set their own standards. “School vending machines filled with junk food, candy and soda is not the best way to fight childhood obesity,” DiNapoli said at the time. Vanilla cream cookie sandwiches, pink lemonade and BBQ-flavored corn chips were some of the offending items auditors found in Port Jefferson school vending machines. A school official says the district is now meeting standards. One of the four that was found in compliance with its own nutritional rules was the Westbury Union Free School District. Assistant Superintendent Mary Lagnado testified before Congress in October 2009—a month after the audit was released—touting the school breakfast program that was launched earlier that year. Lagnado testified the goal was “to affect a paradigm shift in the foods served and selected in the school cafeterias and vending machines through awareness and a district-wide commitment to helping students and the community move away from carbohydrates, which turn into sugars in the digestive process, to foods that enhance activity and concentration.” Before the new federal school food rules were passed, New York City schools addressed some issues DiNapoli’s office raised. Aside from healthier 16

cafeteria food, city schools are also rolling out more nutritious vending machine options. “Everyone’s trying to find that balance,” says Tom Murn, owner of The Answer Group, a Farmingdale-based vending machine company that has 30 fresh fruit vending machines in city schools—with more to come. Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) is among those trying to find level ground on the issue. In a political climate when lawmakers and schools are clamoring for mandate relief, LaValle is making an exception by sponsoring a bill to crack down on the calorie content in the vending machines’ junk food offerings. “Normally I don’t think we should have a ‘nanny state’ where we’re regulating everything,” he says. “But when it comes to our children’s health, we’re talking about childhood diabetes or having diabetes when we’re older, I think we need to promote good health habits, starting with our kids.” The bill, reintroduced each session since passing the state Assembly in 2004, is stalled in committee.
Dover, the plaintiffs in the Levittown lawsuit, is widely believed to have the most school vending machine contracts across the Island, including several school co-operational bidding arrangements. But they are not alone in the local market that has competition big and small. According to the Press’ analysis, which included more than 30 vending machine contracts throughout school districts in both Nassau and Suffolk: Some vending contracts are for just snacks or beverages, while others include both. Percentages vary on how much of the profits districts and companies split—anywhere from 15 to 47 percent. Unlike the heavily regulated school breakfast and lunch providers, many vendors sweeten the pot with bonuses for extending contracts and other incentives. There are also early termination penalties. A 13-year Pepsi Bottling Ventures contract with the Lindenhurst Union Free School District that runs through 2016 provided new football field lighting, a scoreboard, $4,500 for a Steeple Chase and $5,000 annually for scholarships, for example. But there’s a catch. “No new permanent or temporary advertising, signage or trademark

visibility for Competitive Products shall be displayed anywhere on the Campus, (both) High School and Middle School, including locker rooms, sidelines and players benches,” the contract reads. That means no Coke logos allowed in Lindenhurst schools. In recent years, a number of local districts have let contracts expire with Pepsi and Coca-Cola vendors. Those contracts often included some of the sweetest perks for the schools, often in exchange for similar exclusivity with beverages served on campus. Some of the school districts that let their Coke contracts expire include Lynbrook, East Islip and Jericho. In some districts, the soda machines are only allowed in faculty lounges. “Most schools are moving away from sponsorships, but some still do it,” says Murn of Answer vending, which has a few LI school contracts among their 10,000 machines across the tri-state area. School districts his company serves include Northport, Long Beach, Sewanhaka, Smithtown and Patchogue-Medford. “Long Island districts have gotten very tough,” he notes. “Most of the schools in the last five years have eliminated totally soda sold to kids.” The American Beverage Association, a trade group that represents Coke, Pepsi and others, says its members are voluntarily transitioning from serving full-calorie soft drinks in schools to water, diet drinks and juices. They’ve also been marketing portion-controlled sports drinks such as Gatorade—a beverage battle far from over between coaches who see it as an athletic necessity and advocates who argue it’s also filled with sweeteners. ARAMARK, a Syosset-based food service company, has a 7-year contract with the William Floyd School District that expires next year. That deal is padded with thousands of dollars for scholarships and other fees, too. Some smaller school districts, such as those on the East End, don’t have a contract for their vending machines. Instead, a member of the faculty or staff fills the machines and the proceeds go toward students’ after-school activities. News

With just a month left in the academic school year, life continues on relatively uninterrupted at Levittown high and middle schools without Dover’s sweet snacks to fill time and gullets between classes. The machines had already been emptied before being removed from the buildings and there were no reports of fatal sugar withdrawal. While both companies and school officials wait for the ruling from Judge Karen V. Murphy to decide the case, detailed accusations on either side hung in the air like a dangling bag of Doritos snagged on a vending machine corkscrew. Court documents in the case amount to a bare knuckles boxing match over what constitutes healthy snacking. “It just appears to us that there was an agenda to give it to another company,” says Deegan, the attorney for Dover. He sees as a positive sign the temporary restraining order the judge in the case issued barring My Healthy Thing from moving their vending machines into the schools. The school isn’t taking the claims lying down. “Some of the items in Dover’s vending machines contained sodium, sugar, fat and/or calories that were well above the district’s allowable limits or otherwise violated the Wellness Policy,” Assistant Superintendent Mark Flower said in an affidavit responding to the lawsuit.

The policy bans snacks with more than 36 percent of its calories derived from fat—excluding nuts and seeds— and 10 percent of calories from saturated and trans fats combined. Also banned are snacks with more than 35 percent of their weight made up of added sugars and anything with more than 230 mg of sodium per serving. Flower also alleged that the machines were not on timers that prevent students from using the machines until after the last lunch period, as required by state education law, and that Dover’s machines were not computerized, as required by the bid. Butch Yamali, the owner of Dover who also happens to be a trustee on the Merrick Union Free School District Board of Education, disputes the claims and says the bid process was rigged. “I’m a big advocate of schools,” he says. “We’ve been very good partners with [Levittown] for many years.” Yamali also owns The Sands catering hall and the Maliblue Oyster Bar in Lido Beach, the Coral House restaurant in Baldwin and Carnival Good Humor Co., which has a fleet of 40 ice cream trucks. Anthony Montalbano, co-founder of My Healthy Thing, sees it differently.

“No company should dictate to a school district what their children are eating,” he says. Dover is not giving up the Levittown contract without a fight, whether the school wants their machines or not. “All we’re looking for is a fair playing field,” Deegan says. He argues that Dover’s bid offered the school more money and that in the current economic climate, the district should have stuck with the vending machines it knows. For all the hubbub, even a Levittown father and self-described “health freak” with a teenage daughter in Levittown schools could not give a fig about it. He didn’t want to give his name so he wouldn’t be dragged into the lawsuit but he tells the Press he favors having the option to eat badly once in a while. “I think they should just have both vending machines and give the kids a choice,” he says. “We eat pretty healthy at home… So, if she goes to school and has a candy bar, I don’t really care.”

Lemme See MONTAUK MUSIC FESTIVAL Montauk is poised to pulsate with established and emerging independent musicians during the free, 4-day festival at the End. More than 100 artists performing a variety of musical styles—from alternative rock, folk, pop, Americana and reggae to blues, jazz and bluegrass— come together in the spirit of sharing original music. Many of these performances are family-friendly, and children are encouraged to attend. Meet the Musicians at the opening night party Thursday at Gurney’s Inn, starting at 8 p.m. A $35 donation includes a 3-hour open bar and hors d’oeuvres, along with seven bands playing. Performances will be spread throughout the town, set in different intimate venues, each with its own flavor, including a 2-day showcase stage set on downtown Montauk’s Village Green. A schedule of the concerts can be found at www.themontaukmusicfestival.com. Thursday, 5.17-Sunday, 5.20.—Daphne Livingston
Venue addresses and information can be found on Page 32
THE BAMBOOZLE @ ASBURY PARK The annual three-day music and pop culture extravaganza celebrates its 10th anniversary with more than 100 acts performing on nine stages spread throughout the beach and boardwalk. It’s one of the East Coast’s oldest and largest music festivals, and this year includes everyone from Skrillex and Incubus to Bouncing Souls and Bon Jovi. Due to an emergency tonsillectomy for Travis Barker, Blink 182 has just been dropped from the show and replaced with My Chemical Romance. For the full lineup visit www.thebamboozle. com—and check out the LI performers on page 34. Friday, 5.18-Sunday, 5.20.—Jaclyn Gallucci

Thursday 5.17 Justin Townes Earle @ Webster Hall As the son of a wellrespected and highly outspoken Renaissance man who also happens to be a cornerstone of Americana music, it would be easy for Justin Townes Earle to reject winning the gene pool lottery. But much to the credit of Steve’s son, the younger Earle has not only embraced his legacy, but dealt with his own substance abuse problems and is already a few years into carving out a neat, musical niche of his own. With his latest, Nothing’s Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, JTE is a melancholy affair infused with a fair degree of honesty regarding nods to substance abuse and most impressively, the conflicting emotions he admits to in “Am I That Lonely Tonight?,” particularly when he mentions hearing his dad on the radio. With Tristen.—Dave Gil de Rubio
VINYL REVOLUTION @ REVOLUTION While many collectors are still recovering from Record Store Day, dealers are arriving with CDs, memorabilia and, of course, vinyl records. Vinyl has made a comeback— sales have jumped almost 40 percent. Old collections are a hot commodity while many new artists are releasing limited vinyl albums. Whether you’re looking to expand your collection, connect with local music friends or just see what the fuss is about, this is the place to start. Sunday, 5.20.—Anthony Dobrini

monday 5.21 Jack White @ Roseland Ballroom Creatively restless would be the best way to describe Jack White, who throughout his career has not only bounced between self-contained groups like The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, but worked with Loretta Lynn, Wanda Jackson, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones and Danger Mouse. With the release of Blunderbuss, White finally got around to releasing his own solo debut. The Detroit native doesn’t disappoint, using his recent divorce from Karen Elson, (who oddly enough sings on the album), for inspiration. White’s trademark eclecticism is on full-on display via a mix of proggy Anglofolk, stoner rock, skewered country folk and a righteous cover of Little Willie John’s “I’m Shakin’.” With Alabama Shakes. Also 5.22.—DGdR

LONG ISLANDERS GET A By Anthony Dobrini
This Good Robot
Regional
Finalist Mt. Sinai, Long Island Who They Are: After combining two
separate bands into one, This Good Robot became a megagroup headed by former Patent Pending lead vocalist Michael Ragosta. They’re comic book nerds who can write good tunes. Why Check ‘Em Out: They’ve taken the crown as Regional Champion in this year’s Break Contest – beating out mroe than 600 bands from the tri-state area. They’ll be reppin’ Long Island hard. Plus, watching a band with seven members playing at the same time is huge fun. They’ll be featured on the main stage Saturday, May 19th, and two other appearances on Friday and Sunday.
The Warden and F.A.M.E.
Bay Shore, Long island Who They Are: As a genre-infused hip-hop
reggae rock band, The Warden and F.A.M.E. from Bay Shore formed in 2010 and have since taken the scene by storm. As long as they play all year long, summer never leaves the Island. Why Check ‘Em Out: They performed in last year’s Break Contest and played the Bamboozle at Met Life Stadium. Although they were aiming to take the ultimate prize this year, they are LI’s runner-up. After seeing them live, you will most likely be wiggling on the dance floor. Oh, and they have this really cool drum thing that’s become a staple at this point.
D.A. The Future
Amityville, Long Island Who They Are: Although originally from
California, Derek Anthony grew up on Long Island. His father was involved in a church choir, which sparked Anthony’s interest in music. Now he’s got a well-oiled project on his hands and is ready to show the music industry what he is all about. Why Check ‘Em Out: He turned heads at this year’s Break Contest. Anthony’s released several mixtapes and has performed at several different venues as an opener and even in some instances – a headliner. Anthony is not a voice to be reckoned with. He will make himself be heard at this year’s Bamboozle.
The Age
Farmingdale, Long Island Who They Are: As an all-girl group, The
Age can play music better than most of their male band friends. They are a punk band who have been playing around the Island, but even people across the ocean have taken notice…so what are you waiting for? Why Check ‘Em Out: First off, the medium age of the band members is 16. They came into the Break Contest as one of the younger bands but quickly made their mark by showing everyone what they are proud to have: attitude. They’ll fit in nicely in the Bamboozle line-up.
Listen Close
Islip, Long Island Who They Are: Formally known as Dead
End, Listen Close underwent a name change to help with their growing sound. Originally they were more on the reggae side of the spectrum, but their newer songs bring a more alternative rock sound to make a nice mixture. Why Check ‘Em Out: Their influences range from Less Than Jake to fellow Islanders, Envy on the Coast. That should be enough to get you interested. They are a much more polished band now, and this Bamboozle performance should give some insight into Long Island’s reggae rock scene. 34

BREAK AT BAMBOOZLE! For the first time since 2005, The Bamboozle Festival is returning to its roots in Asbury Park. The evolving festival, now in its 10th year, books bands from all over the nation and the world to play. This year more than 100 bands are set to perform over three days, May 18-20th. Among these groups are a handful of winners from the Break Contest, a local battle of the bands that picks the best from several regions in the tri-state area. Here’s a list of the Long Island bands to check out.
Craving Strange
Amityville, Long Island Who They Are: Fighting the good fight as
an original rock band, Craving Strange are a great mix of alternative rock and pop. They’ve developed a cult-like following on the Island and now others are starting to realize why. Why Check ‘Em Out: As their influences state online Foo Fighters, Incubus and Jimmy Eat World, it is no surprise that these guys deserved to play the Bamboozle. They’ve been doing this for a while so come celebrate the payoff with the band.
Two Cent Sam
Babylon, Long Island Who They Are: Formed in 2009, Two Cent
Sam deliver a blend of indie and classic rock to the masses. They’ve recently released a brand new record full of songs that are masterfully written. Why Check ‘Em Out: Bringing influences from a completely different time period and mixing it with a hip sound is just what the band needed to be a breakout here on the Island. And with their fighting power, playing the Bamboozle will be exactly what they need to show they’ll be here for a long time. It also helps they won the wildcard spot, proving that the industry has begun to take notice.
