GARBAGE COMPLAINTS DOMINATE LAWRENCE MEETING ON TRASH

CONGRESS LOOSENS GUN LAWS On Wednesday, Congress passed H.R. 822, a bill which forces states to recognize concealed handgun permits issued by other states even if that state has lower safety standards than the one the permit was obtained in. The bill passed by vote of 272-154. Carolyn McCarthy, U.S. Congressional Representative for New York’s Fourth District and staunch gun control advocate, voted against the bill and was not happy with the passage of the bill. “This bill is a gross violation of both states’ rights and public safety, as well as a gratuitous gift to the powerful gun lobby when states already have the option to do what this bill mandates. With The White House getting shot at with an assault weapon and the nation demanding that Congress focus on creating jobs and helping the economy, the last thing we need right now is another gun proliferation bill, which does nothing to protect American citizens or help them pay their bills. I hope that more rational heads will prevail in the U.S. Senate, or in The White

There wasn’t an empty seat during the Town Hall meeting on Tuesday at the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club, as over 70 residents and Sanitary District No. 1 Commissioners discussed changes and voiced opinions. With the amount of people seated in each row, almost two hours were spent with people voicing their complaints from row to row, some sitting in their seats and some standing. Nobody was required to go in front of a microphone or say their name, but the board took down addresses to rectify complaints and problems at each home. But, some residents had more than just complaints; they’ve had verbal altercations with the garbage men. “… I’ve spoken to you many times because I’ve really been verbally abused by garbage men,” said one resident ardently to the board. Another resident, noted his problems when there’s inclement weather and a run-in with

Inwood: The Other Side of The Five Towns By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

For most of the last century, Inwood was known as Long Island’s own version of Little Italy. However, this unique cultural aspect of the community has become lessened as Inwood has seen a massive increase in the number of Hispanic residents and, to a lesser extent, Orthodox Jews. It shares borders with Far Rockaway to the southwest, other parts of Queens to the northwest, and Lawrence and Cedarhurst to the east, is best described as a mishmoshed hamlet. Residential homes with small amounts of open property are squeezed tightly next to each other and, in some parts, industrial and commercial businesses such as garages and factories, the result of strip-zoning throughout the years. Head into Mamma Betta’s Pizzeria on Dougherty Boulevard or El Chuso on Sheridan Boulevard in Inwood around lunch time and you might hear something a little out of the ordinary for the rest of The Five Towns – languages other than Hebrew or English. From Spanish to some Italian mixed with English, the air is ﬁlled with the voices rep-

resentative of those who live and work in the hamlet closest to the Queens border, a more racial and culturally diverse area than most of The Five Towns, but unknown to many of the other area’s residents. “Inwood’s always been the other side of the tracks,” said Roy Meserole, owner of the Meserole Funeral Home in Inwood and a resident of the area for a good portion of the last century. The homes in Inwood vary depending on the street, some are cookie-cutter repeats down the entire block with an addition or two on some and all different colors, while others are more similar to other homes in The Five Towns with manor-like appearances, expansive wings, large driveways, and multiple stories. Further to the west, John F. Kennedy Airport lurks, cracking the otherwise peaceful atmosphere of suburbia with commercial jets taking off and landing every few minutes around the clock. Some parts of Inwood, however, could be bafﬂing to the outside observer. In the northern section of the area on Dougherty Boulevard, a neighborhood is sandwiched

the garbage men. “If there’s any type of snow, I have to constantly be around to make sure that the garbage is picked up…I constantly call because the garbage is not picked up when there’s snow,” he said. “Last winter I had an unfortunate incident of having a run-in with the two garbage men. I called the ofﬁce and one of them [the garbage men] came and rang my door-

ATL. BCH SEES TICKETS JUMP By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

Atlantic Beach Mayor Stephen Mahler got his wish this month as 113 trafﬁc tickets were issued in the month of October. That is up from 22 tickets issued in the month of September. Mahler had been lobbying the police department for more patrols, claiming that residents of Long Beach are speeding through the village on Park Street and that the number of tickets issued had been in steep decline. Also approved at the Atlantic Beach Board of Trustees meeting were two local laws, one restricting where residents can run generators on their property and another limiting the size and placement of political advertisements. “With the power outages, more people have been using generators and we had nothing in our local law to address that,” Steve Cherson, the village’s public works superintendent said. The new law states that gen-

Gourmet Glatt Reopens Two Weeks After Fire By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

Gourmet Glatt, the popular kosher supermarket located in the heart of Cedarhurst village, reopened at noon on Tuesday, November 15 less than two weeks after a small ﬁre caused minor damage in the basement and smoke damage throughout the ground ﬂoor of the business in the early morning hours of November 3rd. “It was a Herculean effort in 12 days,” said manager Howie Klagsbrun, who called those days not opened “hell.” “We just wanted

to see our customers happy.” “There was minor damage. In order to keep up our reputation as ‘always fresh, always gourmet,’ we did not want anyone to have anything come into their house that might smell of smoke,” said owner Yoeli Steinberg. “We basically emptied the entire store, sold off as salvage or discarded.” The process of emptying left the shelves, refrigerators and displays completely void of products from wall-to-wall. “There was not even a bottle of water to be had,” joked Klagsbrun. By noon Sunday, however, the restocking process began

as the ﬁrst delivery arrived at the store. “We had unpacked roughly 12,000 cases of food by Monday at 8:00 p.m.,” said Klagsbrun, who said he had never seen such an effort in his 28 years working in the grocery industry. “The extra push we had was missing, so everyone needed a little jumping,” said Steinberg. “The shoppers are what bring the energy to the store and when the shoppers are missing... it makes something drag just a drop.

Inwood: the Other Side of The Five Towns CONTINUED FROM P. A1 between two extremes – an industrial complex with gas containment tanks owned by various fuel corporations to the east and the Inwood Country Club, where the legendary golfer Bobby Jones won the 1923 U.S. Open, to the west. Inwood Civic Association Chairman and long time resident Tony LaFerrara said the oil tankers that visit the area to fuel up caused and still raise concern in the area. “Back when they went to build those containers, we had a protest where all of these mothers put their carriages out in the walkway,” he said. He noted the possibility of an aircraft hitting the oil facilities and the nearby area getting wiped out. He added: “If a plane ever crashes here, that’s it – end of story.” For the newcomer, Dougherty Boulevard acts as the community’s central vein, similar in relation to Cedarhurst’s Central Avenue, with a small strip of stores lining either side of the street. On nicer days, its common to see people walking along the sidewalks grabbing lunch at a local eatery or heading to the local post ofﬁce or heading into Citibank, but not with the numbers of shoppers of the Central Avenue strip. Small bodegas can be found on a few of the street corners, welcoming one and all but catering to the needs of the growing Hispanic population. At the center of the area, the Inwood Fire Department stands ready to respond to all local emergencies. Most of the people living in Inwood are described by their own neighbors as hard-working, blue-collar people, most of whom work in service industries. “Inwood was and still is a big service provider,” said Meserole,

whose business is now the oldest in Inwood. “Maintenance, plumbing, that sort of thing has always been the main business of this town.” “The people here are nice, they’ve got a lot of heart and work real hard,” said Randall Michaels, a self-described handyman from Far Rockaway who says he has worked around the area for the last 10 years. “Coming here every week to do a job or two makes me a happy guy – these people make me feel like family. It’s a lot different than next door in Lawrence.” Abe Gellis, owner of Lawrence Supply on Sheridan Boulevard, also said Inwood’s residents were different from their neighboring towns and villages. Gellis was not in the area as long as many other residents, moving here four years ago from New York City. “They’re friendlier here because they seem to know each other,” he said. “They’re just very tight knit.” That tight-knit community, however, has seen changes that it continues to see to this day – Inwood’s population, already more diverse than any part of The Five Towns, has changed considerably in the last decade. Throughout most of the 1900’s, Inwood was home to a large Italian immigrant population, still visible through many of the remaining families there. The hamlet was roughly 53 percent white in 2000, but that number declined to 48 percent by 2010 as other racial populations have moved into the area. Between 2000 and 2010, the African-American population has relatively stayed the same while the Hispanic population nearly doubled from roughly 26.3 percent to 42.8 percent of Inwood’s almost 10,000 residents, noticeable by some of the Hispanic themed shops and

Inwood, the western-most of The Five Towns, has often been called “the other side of tracks” according to residents. eateries, such as Caribbean Hut along Sheridan Boulevard or Inwood Super Mart on Dougherty Boulevard. In those kinds of stores, it’s not a surprise to ﬁnd English rarely, if ever, spoken as the restaurant caters to the new residents of the area. The Jewish population from nearby Lawrence and Cedarhurst has also expanded into the area, especially visible by the move of the Yeshiva Ketana of Long Island school in 2007 from North Woodmere. Local real estate agents said the area nearest to the golf course immediately became more attractive after the yeshiva moved in, especially for younger, newly wedded Jewish couples. “People have been coming in and out of Inwood for years,” said resident Reggie Hill. “To me, it’s always welcome because everyone brings something new to the plate.” “There’s a lot of Hispanic people here now and that’s an element not really present even just ﬁve years ago,” a longtime resi-

dent and business owner who wished to remain anonymous said. “The housing department is being picked up by Orthodox people. And other than that, you’ve got the people who lived here the longest are slowly becoming the minority.” “Inwood is the last frontier for the Orthodox Jewish people,” said Meserole, but he said the inﬂux of the population has not changed the area much by looking at it. He added, though, the area’s original Italian population was either leaving or passing away, allowing for openings throughout the village. The changes in population seem to have brought with it a change in attitudes towards the neighborhood by some of the area’s residents. “[The other Five Towns] do nothing for us,” said Diane, a grocery worker and resident of Inwood for over 50 years who did not wish to share her last name. “Things have really changed here – you used to be able to leave the

doors open at night, now you need to have locks and guns.” She said she felt the community is being forced to change by incoming populations. While the population has continued to diversify, the community’s reputation as a poor community has not. As of 2010, Inwood was one of Long Island’s lowest-income areas, with the average household making just under $50,000 a year. Most of The Five Towns’ households average upwards of $85,000 a year with many communities over $150,000 yearly. “We might be the poorest community in Nassau County. Oth-

They’ve done a great job and it’s great to have the store back.”

Another shopper from Cedarhurst, who wished to remain anonymous, said she missed seeing the smiling faces of everyone at the store. “It’s like seeing your neighbors coming here. I missed them a lot!” Both Steinberg and Klagsbrun complimented their crew for the hard work they had put in over the last two weeks. “It was a true team effort and unprecedented,” said Klagsbrun. “Everyone was working for the same cause and its truly amazing to be opened again.”

That’s not right.” One of the Sanitation Board’s Commissioners, Frank Argento responded, “I’ve heard this too many times, and I’m only on this commission for three years…people afraid to complain or to have exchanges like this because they feel like there’s going to be some type of retribution amongst our staff to you or that the service is going to get even worse,” Argento noted. “That’s not something that we’ll tolerate. If anyone behaves that way…I guarantee you that they’ll not be working for the district very long.” In addition, Argento added the importance of reporting the problem via email to have it on record. “Email us and tell us what your concerns are,” Argento said. “That way we have it on our record…When you’re dealing with unions and you’re dealing with labor…it’s important if we’re going to tackle this thing with a union labor force that we have documented the incidents so we can go back and take the proper action if there’s action to be taken.” Dozens of complaints later, from one resident calling gar-

bage mens’ inadequate performance as “idiosyncratic craziness,” others voiced problems with recycling or lack thereof. “As a resident for 65 years, number one, we’ve been recycling for years…I recycle, they [the garbage men] laugh at me, they put it in with the regular garbage and they dump it in the truck,” a female resident said. Another resident said that his recycling hasn’t been picked up in at least a month and referred to board’s comments as “ ﬂowery remarks,” and that they’re “not doing well at all.” George Pappas, Assistant Superintendent of the Sanitation District, noted, “…We’re proactive in helping you, responding to your complaints. We’re there for you, so please understand that if you need something done, call us, we’ll be there for you.” Pappas went on to note that people would often call, not take down the person’s name they’re speaking to or ask for the supervisor, and the message or complaint can get lost. “Ask for me, Ask for George,” he added. In an effort to stay on top of routes and calls, they’re in the process of exploring a new computer tracking system, which will “probably” start sometime next year. “It will have a lot to do with special pick-ups, more importantly it’ll

Pappas added, “It’s more for tracking problem stops, we’ll know you called Thursday, we’ll know that you called back on Friday…we’re going to know what the actual response time is.” Another resident noted that sanitation in the district hasn’t always had this many problems. “Most of us have lived here for decades, the ﬁrst two decades we’ve never had to have a meeting like this,” she said. “What changed?

Local Synagogue Giving Back to Israeli Soldiers BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

emale Israeli soldiers can expect a pick-me up ﬁlled with beauty products and letters from children, thanks to Chesed in Cheshvan for Chayalot, a program organized by The Young Israel of Hewlett, with the UJAFederation of New York. The synagogue and the UJA are presenting a program featuring Israeli soldiers and Bat Ami representatives from local yeshivas to help the Israeli female soldiers currently serving in Israel. Young Israel received a grant from the United Jewish Appeal and the New York Federation. A member of Young Israel assisting with publicity, Jennifer Zwiebel, said, “…Beauty products aren’t what they’re used to getting. The products include shampoos and lotions -- products that are really appreciated there. We also have Israeli ambassadors who come here and are representatives at differ-

ent schools and work with students and teach them about Israel.” Andrea Borah, one of the organizers of the event and member of the synagogue said that she heard of a similar event a few years ago and spoke to the agency. “When I spoke to the agency that did that event they were telling me how the girls really appreciate it,” Borah said. “People always forget about them. When they send stuff to soldiers, they were so happy to be remembered, it sort of touched me. It made me want to focus on them.” The synagogue is not making any money and 100 percent of what people donate will be sent directly to Israel to the female soldiers, Borah said. Naomi Joseph, a member of the synagogue will be doing makeup demonstrations with Arbonne makeup products and demonstrate looks like the Smokey-eye. While that’s going on youth leaders and girl scouts in The Five Towns will be helping

kids write letters to the soldiers. There will also be free rafﬂes and speakers. “We reached out to schools, girl scouts, everyone. We want everyone to come,” Borah said. Stephen Krown, president of Young Israel also encouraged community involvement. “We’re hoping to involve students from the schools, parents, youth in our synagogue, and everyone all around this wonderful event. I think that we’re looking to have people from the broader community participate because it’s an opportunity for different parts of the community to get together around what we consider a really good cause.” The event is free with light refreshments served. Products are available for consumer purchase and a 35 percent discount for soldiers. The event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 20th from 10:30 a.m. until Noon at the Young Israel of Hewlett at 1 Piermont Avenue in Hewlett.

Long Island Lacks Central Water Agency By Amanda Mayo Standard Staff

here is no central agency to address Long Island’s massive water problems, according to Professor Sarah Meyland, Director of the Center for Water Resources Management at New York Institute of Technology. Meyland proposed such an agency at the general meeting of the League of Women Voters of Southwest Nassau on Thursday at the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library. The League held a discussion on protecting Long Island’s Aquifers, led by Professor Meyland, who discussed the danger that Long Island’s water resources and water supply are in and the need for a water management agency on Long Island. “We do not have a single water management agency on Long Island,” Meyland said. She added that there are water agencies across the state, nation and even across the world, but there is not

one on Long Island. Meyland said the amount of water leaving Long Island’s aquifers is higher than the amount going in, which is a direct result of salt water intrusion. She pointed out that Nassau County is “well beyond” the number of water intrusion that can safely come out of its aquifers and there were 74 billion gallons taken out of aquifers last year alone. “There will not be a single elected official in Nassau County that knows this number,” Meyland said. “Any day of the year you can find out the condition of the water supply for New York City, but not for Nassau,” she said. Meyland said a water management agency would protect the water supply and improve it. She listed proposals for what such an agency could do, like conduct scientific studies, find out how much water is available, allocate water and administer a water well permit program, among other things. She pointed

out that 1980 was the only year where a water quality map was published. Other important things Meyland pointed out an agency could do were to provide educational material to citizens, report annually to the public and ensure speedier aquifer cleanup. “We need an agency that’s going to represent our interests as Long Islanders,” Meyland said. The idea for a water management agency was originally proposed at a November 5th conference in Cold Spring Harbor. According to Nancy Rosenthal, President of the League of Women Voters of Southwest Nassau, Long Island’s aquifers are in danger from various forms of pollution and here on Long Island, there is no water supply coming from large upstate reservoirs, instead it is only the water in the ground right on the Island. “We have only one source of water and we either protect it, or we don’t,” Meyland said.

Former Atlantic Beach Resident Charged with Practicing Psychology Without a License By Amanda Mayo Standard Staff

former Atlantic Beach resident was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly practicing psychology without a license. The woman, Amora Rachelle, 35, of Los Angeles was arrested in Westbury by Nassau County District Attorney Investigators and charged with Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree, Scheme to Defraud in the ﬁrst Degree, Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree and Unauthorized Practice, which are all felony charges. According to Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, Rachelle treated patients in her home between 2008 and 2010 without a license to do so. In 2008 she received $3,400 from GEICO for “psych” services rendered to a car accident victim. In February 2009, Rice said

Rachelle, who only possessed a Limited Permit to practice psychology, lied to the New York State Courts on an unsuccessful application for a position on a panel of court-appointed psychologists and continued to illegally treat patients after being denied a full license. Rachelle allegedly continued to see patients through her personal practice, Health I.Q., in the Los Angeles area, from November 2009 through early 2010 even though she was still unlicensed. After the initial three months, she refused to give patients needed diagnostic codes so they could be reimbursed by their insurance companies, causing patients to pay over $8,000 out of pocket. The case originated in the New York State Education Department, Ofﬁce of Professional Discipline (OPD), as part of Rachelle’s application for a license to practice psychology. OPD referred the case to the DA. According to Rachelle’s web-

Oliner went to address some of the most common complaints of the residents who attended the meeting. “First, garbage trucks should not go on to peoples’ property.

Lawrence Advances to Finals with 29-6 Win Over Lynbrook Text and Photos By Scott P. Moore

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes are headed back to the Nassau Conference III Finals after running through the rival Lynbrook Owls 29-6 in their semi-final matchup at Hofstra University on Saturday morning. The game was a playoff rematch of last year’s Conference III finals where Lynbrook defeated Lawrence en route to the Conference and Long Island titles. The Lawrence offense broke through and scored first during the first quarter on a five-play, 35 yard possession capped by a seven-yard run by senior running back Ryan Fredericks to give the Golden Tornadoes a 7-0 lead. Not to be out done, the Owls came right back on the next possession with a 12-play, 61 yard drive where the Golden Tornadoes’ defense could not keep the Owls back. Lynbrook’s Rocco Scibelli rushed four yards into the end zone to pull the Owls to within 7-6, but the extra point kick was blocked by Lawrence’s Eddie Robinson. Scoring afterwards became sporadic as neither team seemed to be able to kick their offenses into gear. Lawrence finally came through with seconds left in the first half. Lawrence’s huge 16 play, 80 yard possession was capped by a one

Championship Game Preview: Plainedge vs. Lawrence By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes are going to have their hands full when they head back to Hofstra University on Saturday to take on the Plainedge Red Devils for the Nassau Conference III Championship. The last time these two teams met was midseason – Plainedge entered the game having an up-and-down season while Lawrence was just starting their current eightgame winning streak. The game was the biggest slugfest Lawrence faced all year as they rallied behind running back Tyler Fredericks’ ﬁve touchdowns to win 56-40.

The Plainedge Red Devils (7-3 overall) Plainedge has had an roller coaster year – the team started the season 2-3 after their loss to Lawrence on October 6th, but won the last three games of the season to end in fourth place at 5-3. The team then defeated number five Manhasset in the first round of the playoffs in dominating fashion, 4715, to advance. This past weekend, Plainedge hit a five-game winning streak after upsetting the number one Bethpage Golden Eagles, the only 8-0 team in Nassau’s Conference III this season, to the tune of 28-14. The losses for Plainedge this season never came because of

a lack of offense – the team is highly explosive and averaged nearly 40 points per game this year, but rather a lack of defense, which gave up scores in its loss averaging over 43 points. Behind senior running back Ralph Caccavale, who rushed for 14 touchdowns and over 900 yards this year, the team has been able to keep its offense rolling through other team’s defenses. Quarterback Nick Frenger has been solid, throwing for over 600 yards and nine touchdowns. Average Score This Season: Plainedge: 38.7, Opponents: 21.6

The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes (9-1 overall) Lawrence has been on a heck of a roll since their defeat by the now-eliminated Bethpage on September 16th. The team has gone on to win eight straight, including two crushing victories against Five Towns rival Hewlett with scores over 50 points. Plainedge was the only other team to face a 50-plus points score by Lawrence during their last meeting. The defense, originally a thorn in the side of Coach Joe Martillotti’s side, has become a saving grace. Since the Golden Tornadoes last played Plainedge, the team has only given up more than seven points once – against Hewlett in the ﬁrst round of the playoffs – and held opponents to an average of 10.2 points per game. Behind brothers Ryan and Tyler

Fredericks, the running game is at its best – both brothers have rushed for touchdowns in the same game in 70 percent of the games this year. Average Score This Season: Lawrence: 40.5, Opponents: 18.8

What to Expect The Plainedge offense is much like Lawrence’s – a big running game with a strong passer behind it in case the running game gets shut down. There’s a key difference, however – where Lawrence has three capable rushers in the three Fredericks brothers, only one of Plainedge’s players rushed or caught passes for more than 3 touchdowns this year, senior Ralph Caccavale. Stopping him on defense means stopping much of the offensive game for the Red Devils, and Lawrence Coach Joe Martillotti knows that. “If we keep the big guys off with big plays, we’ll be the champs,” said Martillotti. Things have changed since the last time these two teams met and Lawrence’s defense is the best example of that change. Since that last meeting, opponent’s offenses have struggled to score on Lawrence, often managing bursts of offense for a few minutes before being shut down throughout the game. The new matchup should shave some points off of Plainedge’s average score if Lawrence’s defense holds up and stops much

The Lawrence offense is vicious – between the running of senior Ryan Fredericks and junior Tyler Fredericks, the constantly improving passing ability of sophomore quarterback Joe Capobianco and better performances from freshman Jordan Fredericks and junior Eddie Robinson, the offense is primed for a great game and champi-

onship gold. Expect Lawrence to score early and often, for upwards of 35 points, again giving or taking some two to three points more or less. “We just got to do what we can do,” said Martillotti. “I think they’re the one team in the conference who match up with us.” The winner of this matchup

will be the champion of Nassau Conference III and will go on to face the winner of the Suffolk Conference III Championship, currently the matchup of Sayville (10-0) vs. Westhampton (8-2), for the Long Island Conference III Championship. Last season, Lynbrook defeated Sayville to claim the title.

The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will take on the Plainedge Red Devils at Hofstra University’s James M. Shaurt Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. for the Nassau County Conference III Championship.

Bulldog Basketball Aiming for Comeback Season By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

fter a heartbreaking six point loss to Seaford in the first round of last year’s playoffs, Hewlett Boys Basketball is looking to make a comeback this season. This year’s team will bring back a majority of last year’s players, and with the benefit of experience under their belt, they will look to make some noise despite some tough opponents and a young team that only features a pair of seniors. “Expectations are certainly high as far as I’m concerned,” Head Coach Bill Dubin said. “We are returning everybody from last year. I think we made the playoffs last year in the first round, I think we can maybe get to the quarterfinals if we can win our first round game, and after that it’s up for grabs.”

Last season, Hewlett earned the fourteenth playoff seed with a 5-7 conference record (7-10 overall). Leading the way for Hewlett is 6’3” junior, Weldon Irvine and 6’2” sophomore, Avery Feldman, both of whom were AllConference players last season. Irvine also showed his athletic versatility this season for the Hewlett football team, producing as a wide receiver, kick returner and defensive back. “They have a different style of game,” Dubin said of Irvine and Feldman. “Weldon is more of a slasher and more of our go-to-the-hoop guy who’s got a nice outside shot. Avery’s got a beautiful outside shot and he can play inside and outside. Weldon is a tougher guy to guard because he can go to the rack, whereas Avery has a lot of basketball smarts and he’s only a sophomore.” Dubin and the rest of the coaching

staff are in the process of trying out players. Of his eventual 10 man roster, Dubin is mostly sure of seven players who will make the team, with the remaining three being uncertain as of yet. “The ﬁrst seven would be Nico Leguillow,” Dubin said. “He’s a guard. Harrison Brenner and Dimitri Baptiste are guards. Waldon and Avery are forwards. Kevin Dehaney is a forward/center. And then we had a couple kids who were injured. Nick Almante was a guard. After that, it’s kind of up for grabs.” Dubin is planning on employing a few different strategies offensively this year. “We’re actually going to put in a couple of new offenses this year,” Dubin said. “I won’t tell you what they are right now, but we’re going to put some new stuff in that we haven’t run in a long time, which Weldon Irvine and Avery Feldman are ready for Hewlett’s tough season.

Lawrence Basketball Looking for Championship Gold By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

ith football season wrapping up, the eyes of Lawrence Golden Tornadoes’ fans will turn to its successful basketball team. With junior All-County guard Eddie Robinson leading the pack, the Golden Tornadoes are looking to take their game to the championship level this season.

Last Season The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes had a successful season during the 2010-2011 school year. Lawrence finished first in the Class A-II Conference by going 14-3 during the regular season. Led by senior twins Ibraheem and Ahmed Shamseldin, Sampson Bialostok and then-sophomore Eddie Robinson, the team dominated the division. In the playoffs, Lawrence knocked off West Hempstead in the first round 67-58 and then Seaford in the quarterfinals 64-41. Lawrence then downed Great Neck North 63-46 before losing to Manhasset in the Class A finals by the score of 73-59.

The Eye of the Tornadoes Coach Joesph Suppel, back at the helm of the boys’ team after spending two years coaching at Oceanside High School, will be looking to have his team impress out on the court.

“I’m really excited to be home,” said Suppel, a 1999 Lawrence High School graduate who had previously coached the varsity boys’ team three years ago. “I’ve known these kids forever since I taught elementary school here.” Leading the Golden Tornadoes into the season will be last season’s biggest surprise – junior guard Eddie Robinson, who also plays wide receiver on the varsity football team. As a sophomore, Robinson was selected to be an All-County player. “He’ll be one of our leaders, besides what he does on the court, his leadership effort off the court will be one of his biggest contributions,” said Suppel. “A lot of teams know what he’s going to do on the court now – he’s pretty consistent.” Down the stretch last season, Robinson scored an average of 12 points and eight rebounds per game during the ﬁnal six games of the year. “He’s really well-rounded... and an excellent shooter.” Suppel also noted Clifton Lyerly, a junior who he said “ﬁts into any position on the court” but was most likely to be a small or power forward as the season progressed. Lyerly was an All-Conference player last season as a sophomore. “He’s probably my best overall athlete,” said Suppel. “He adds a lot of versatility to our lineup.” Sophomore Dwayne Daniel is on track to be one of the best

point guards in the county, according to his coach. Daniel also made last year’s varsity team as a freshman, providing nearly seven points per game in the ﬁnal six games of the year. “He’s an excellent shooter, excellent quickness,” said Suppel. “He really wants to succeed. He’s one of the hardest workers we have.” Suppel also said he would look to the team’s two seniors, Kwadwo Agyapong and A.J. Gallo, to provide some leadership on the court. Agyapong will be ﬁghting for the point guard position and is a “very good, strong athlete” according to Suppel. Gallo, a guard, is a good spot shooter who Suppel says will provide toughness to the lineup.

After last year’s near miss of making Long Island’s ﬁnal 16 teams in the playoffs, Lawrence will look to make its way back to the top of the league’s standings once again. “I expect us to be very competitive,” said Suppel. “I think our back court can compete with most in our conference.” Athletically, he said, the team is primed to enjoy breakaway runs down the court to set up quick plays. “Because of our athleticism, I expect us to be a tough defensive team,” he said. “I think our defense will be what really pushes us as far as we hope... to get back

to the stage we were at last year and hopefully get to that game we were at.” Suppel already has the team preparing itself to toughen up against non-league competitors. Lawrence will take on private Catholic high schools St. John the Baptist from West Islip on December 15th and Mineola’s Chaminade High School on December 23rd at home. “Our non-league schedule will give us some challenges early on in the season,” Suppel said. The league matchups will begin at the start of 2012 on January 6th when Bethpage High School visits the Golden Tornadoes at home to begin the Nassau Class A-II season. Suppel said the team always looks forward to matchups with the cross-Five Towns rival Hewlett Bulldogs. The two teams will face off for the ﬁrst time on January 12th at Lawrence and again February 3rd at Hewlett. “Being a Lawrence guy, there’s always that competition in the game because the kids know each other,” said Suppel, adding that the recent football rivalry has increased the energy during the games against each other, especially with both teams having found success in recent years in their conference. “Our conference is pretty tough,” said Suppel. “The

As far as key match ups are concerned, Hewlett will have a tough non-league schedule to start the season before moving on to League A2 opponents. They begin their non-league schedule on December 6th against Roosevelt before moving on to games against West Hempstead, Garden City, Jericho and Southside, all of whom Dubin feels are playoff teams in

their own leagues this year. In League A-II, it’s cross-town rival Lawrence that will generate the most buzz after making it to the semi-ﬁnals last season. Rivals Bethpage and Plainedge split their games with Hewlett last year. Southside, who won the league’s best record last year, has changed leagues. Rounding out the league are Sewanhaka

Saving Gas

great many politicians are full of hot air along with other noxious airborne substances, so it is kind of refreshing to see an elected ofﬁcial convert such an element, in this case, natural gas, into some kind of savings for the taxpayers. County Executive Ed Mangano as part and parcel of the ceaseless mission to cut expenses and balance the County’s books has come up with a good deal for John and Jane Q. Taxpayer – he’s switched the natural gas provider for the County’s sewage treatment facilities and water treatment plants from National Grid to Hess. The County will save $7.5 million from September 2010 thru August 2012 by taking advantage of the positioning in a declining natural gas market and are able to get the lowest prices and save on the future costs of the commodity. This is the ﬁrst time the County has not received its natural gas service from any company other than National Grid. In these dire economic times, we urge Mr. Mangano to put anything and everything out to competitive bidding. Longstanding relationships with suppliers and purveyors from paper clips to asphalt need to be comparison-shopped for the lowest prices. We applaud Mr. Mangano’s realization of millions in savings and hope he and the new Legislature will continue along last session’s path of cost and job cutting while holding the line on our taxes.

Read Andrew’s Lips

he New York Post has had a month-long fetish with a statement made by Governor Andrew Cuomo – so much so that they’re been running the quote every single day without let-up on their editorial page. In case Standard readers are not also aficionados of The Post’s editorials, here it is: “You are kidding yourself if you think you can be one of the highest-taxed states in the nation, have a reputation for being anti-business – and have a rosy economic future.” The Governor made this statement on October 17th to explain why he is planning on keeping his campaign pledge and oppose any new taxes for New York, including the renewal of the “millionaires tax,” which expires next month. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver along with an alliance of New York City-based ultra-Liberals has been agitating for the extension of the so-called “millionaires tax,” we say “so-called” because the tax falls on individual New Yorkers earning over $200,000 a year and couples with $300,000 or more in income. In some quarters, and maybe Arkansas, $200,00 gross might seem like a lot of money, but in New York, for many it merely represents a modicum of comfort won at great stress and effort. Even Senator Chuck Schumer has said that “$200,000 might seem like a fortune in much of the country, but it doesn’t make you rich at all in New York.” And why is that pray tell? Because we are among the most highly taxed people on the entire North American continent. A small homeowner here in our area can expect between all the federal, state, city, school and real estate taxes to forfeit up to and over 50 percent of his or her income before having dollar one to spend on one’s basic needs, let along comforts. Also, our cost of living here is terribly burdensome. Everything just costs more in New York, from buying a pack of gum to filling-up the car. Why put up with it? For ubiquitous access to kosher food? Better pizza? The Governor has stated that “New York has competition” and that wealthy New Yorkers will just decamp for Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida or elsewhere, as they have been doing now for more than a decade, often taking businesses and jobs along with them. The Long Island jobs picture is bleak in part because the environment is seen as being hostile to business, small, medium or large. When the surcharge was enacted in 2009, it was supposed to be a temporary measure, Mr. Silver and the unions want it made permanent, if not for those earning more than $200,000, then certainly for those earning more than $1 million. Neither option is viable. We see states like Texas adding hundreds of thousands of jobs and New York shedding them. Since the enactment of the “millionaires tax,” the state has vacuumed-up more than $14 billion in extra taxes – money that can’t help the local economy by being available for investment, job creation or plain old consumer spending. Every day another long time Long Island resident decamps for the tax-free Sunbelt. The Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce has been running ads nonstop on Fox News and CNN showing 23 miles of beaches, endless golf courses, swimming pools and hammering home the message of no state or city income taxes. One of the folks in the commercial, Wayne Huizenga (formerly of Blockbuster Video fame) beams into the camera and says, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.” We need not just no new taxes, we need real tax relief and the first solid step in that direction is letting the “millionaires tax” expire on December 31st. We applaud the Governor’s determination not to renew this punitive surcharge. We know our State Senator, Dean Skelos firmly supports this. We call on all our elected officials to let Mr. Cuomo know that Long Island has had enough of high taxation.

DEMOCRATIC VOICE

ELECTION DAY POST MORTEM By David Freedman

e in the local Democratic Party have used a certain mantra over the past years to, in a sense, give credence to an idea. The idea is that Republican control over wide political institutions in Nassau County especially in the Town of Hempstead is something that the voters would tire of. The argument that says “100-plus years of Republican control of Hempstead is bad for the Town” has proven in this election to have virtually no traction. The Republicans in The Five Towns certainly, were returned to ofﬁce by wide margins. This is not to say that this is better for the Town then the Democratic candidates. But the voters chose the status quo over change and that should be a huge wake up call for us Democrats.

David M. Freedman has been a resident of Cedarhurst for 12 years. He is a business owner in the Five Towns and is currently the President of the Five Towns Democratic Club. He is a published author of a novel “A Butterfly on the Gowanus Expressway” and he maintains a political blog called Federal Follies located on the web at http://thefederalfollies.blogspot.com. He is married with two children and is active in the community both politically and socially.

It can and certainly will be argued by the Democrats that lost, that campaign funding was a big issue and had they had bigger campaign treasuries, they might have prevailed. It can also be argued that of course this was an off-off year election and the lack of voter turnout was a causal factor in the Republican victories. But for the Democratic Party to win going forward, it has to face certain realities that it just does not want to see and which does not bode well for the party on a national level. The ﬁrst reality is that local voters are very uncomfortable with the President and this has a deﬁnitive trickle-down effect locally. His inability to lift the country rapidly out of economic instability is perceived as an inability to lead and frightens voters. I have talked to friends all over the country, Democrat, Republican, Independent, black, white and Hispanic. The vast majority have expressed to me that the Administration’s inability to get us out of this recession rapidly frightens them more than any other single issue. The war in Afghanistan and Iraq is not even on the table when it comes to this concern over the administration. The President’s wishy-washy stand on Israel has isolated him from most Jewish voters to the point that many who traditionally vote Democratic, now feel they are obliged to vote Republican. And not just in the national election, but in local contests as well, because coattails are perceived to be long.

REALITY CORNER

A Federal Hot Potato By Jeff Katz

his is not exactly what I’d call a victory for the potato. Last month the United States Senate blocked a proposal by the Department of Agriculture that tried to restrict the amount of potatoes that schools across the country could serve up to our kids, limiting them to two servings per week. They also wanted the ability to regulate how the potatoes could be prepared, namely whether it was okay to turn them into French fries as well as into baked potatoes, home fries, potato pancakes, and . . . well, you get the idea. The shocker is that we’ve come to the point where nothing at all seems to be beyond the reach of the Federal government! Limited government? The Founding Fathers might have thought we were absent that day from school, when we were taught about that important idea in American History class! One of the cornerstones of our democracy is the separation of powers. This is accomplished not

only by separating the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government from one other, but also by separating the Federal government from State and local governments. A related pillar of the American system is frequent elections. This is so that ofﬁcials who do harm can be removed fairly quickly, in the next election, before they can cause too much damage. Separation of powers spreads power around as thinly as possible. This ensures that no single individual becomes too powerful. It is a protection against tyranny. After all, even the U.S. President is the head of only the executive branch of the Federal government, so even his powers should be limited. But this is not the direction in which we’ve been headed. One of the basic protections of liberty is being eroded, and both major political parties have participated. If the issue of the potatoes our schoolchildren eat is a “Federal case,” then what isn’t? Mind you, the Senate did vote to block the Department of Agriculture’s ability to regulate how many potatoes can be served up in our schools. But, alas, they didn’t block the Federal regulator’s ability to restrict how the potatoes would be prepared. So, if your kids like French fries, you might need to hire a lobbyist to make sure they’re allowed to eat some in school for lunch!

hile two things one can always count on are death and taxes, I would like to add something else to that list: gravity. If I stand at my desk and drop a pencil, ten out of ten times, the pencil will fall. Tried and true, gravity is dependable and can be relied upon. With no interest in space travel, no plans to leave earth’s atmosphere, and unable to sleep standing up, it is safe to say that gravity will always play a permanent role in my life. A self-proclaimed gym rat, getting in a daily workout is a priority. From the standpoint of my mental health, if I have not made it to the gym or missed a day for some reason, it is readily apparent in my behavior attitude and demeanor. Frankly, I become very crabby, snapping at anyone and everything over nothing, pent-up energy inside my body with no chance of release. Those who exercise regularly can empathize. The dress still hanging in my closet, I have diligently been sticking to diet and exercise regimen, determined to reach my goal. Even while on vacation, I did not allow myself all-you-can-eat nights at my favorite restaurants. My Achilles heel is chocolate chip cookies, especially when they are soft. Because I am a martyr, I will make do with a crunchy one. Put a batch of soft ones in front of me, however, and watch them disappear. Attending an event while we were away, my daughter served as my wingman, keeping to my side as I perused the food, ensuring I did not go astray. Playing the role of adult and partial baby-sitter, she let me have one cookie, but then made me stop when I went for another. “Mommy!” she yelled at me. “Remember the dress!” Becoming more like an albatross and less like a goal, I put the cookie back. Smiling in approval, she took my hand. “No sweets, Mommy,” she said. “No sweets.” Sweets, however, are something I cannot and will not do without. Dark chocolate, specifically, has clearly been overlooked by our federal government as a food group. In this case, I was determined to have my cake and eat it, too. Having a piece of chocolate every now and again should not preclude me from getting into my dress. If that meant, however, that the exercise portion of my plan needed to be tweaked, or intensified, then that’s life. So out came the running sneakers, for it was time to get back on the treadmill. Running is the best form of exercise I know despite what it does to my knees. Upon the advice of my exercise guru, I run often but for short distances. Even if I have the energy to run further than five miles, I stop, having no interest in injuring myself. The system was going just fine, until I managed an injury af-

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

AN INTERESTING CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY

ow many times are you mistaken for somebody else? Yes, like when you’re on the Avenue and someone you don’t know comes up to you and says, “Myron, you look great!” And, then you tell the friendly stranger that, indeed, you are not, Myron, and, yes, it is not a problem. Then you ﬁnd out who the real Myron is and you discover he is dead. So, now you realize that you, basically, look good for a dead guy. This actually happens to me quite often and sometimes it is quite a laugh and other times it is quite burdensome. Like this week -- when I was mistaken for Dr. Murray Vindaloo. Now, granted most people in The Five Towns don’t know the otherwise famously inscrutable Dr. Murray Vindaloo, an esteemed Doctor of Journalism, who has served as my mentor and dear friend for almost 20 years. Now, Dr. Vindaloo is prone to where sunglasses, like me, but that is really where the comparisons end. Chieﬂy, I don’t wear traditional Punjabi purple robes and turban. Oh, and I don’t have a ranch near the Kashmir region of India. Furthermore, I am not a 32nd de-

gree Mason, nor am I a Knight of the British Order. Though, I do like Kosher Vegetarian Indian Cuisine like the kind expertly prepared by the Cordon Bleutrained gourmand – Dr. Murray Vindaloo. In fact, the good doctor, me and our mutual pal – Buddy Vroyle who is a musician’s musician and fantastic jazz vocalist – hang around frequently at Dr. Vindaloo’s palatial spread in Hewlett Harbour. I have also learned much from Mr. Vroyle, whose vocal style is somewhere between Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald. It is Buddy who taught me how to scat properly without sounding like a Satchmo Armstrong impersonator! Often we will barbecue an entire lamb or sometimes a steer on the Doctor’s ﬁery barbecue pit. And, he usually serves it with a nice saffron rice and a sweet chutney. Then, after dinner I usually sit at the piano and sing duets with the talented Mr. Vroyle – beginning with the Noel Coward song book and then turning up the intensity and tackling such up-tempo numbers as “How High The Moon” (with the scat from Charlie Parker’s “Ornithology”) and “The Wabash Cannon-

ball.” Sometimes, Benny Gamal – the Sephardic Stand-Up Comic Sensation – will also join us and bring along some kubehs, cigarim, and chumus. Benny Gamal has been promising us to bring along his dear friend and fellow comic – Clownvis – who has appeared on television, and is the foremost Elvis Tribute Clown in the business. But, Clownvis spends most of his time in the midwest and only recently has begun playing big rooms like the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. So, sure people sometimes mistake me for my double, triple or even quadruple! But, when you’re legendary, many people have seen you – but, sometimes cannot connect the name with the face. Like what happened to me this week with Dr. Murray Vindaloo (whose high-level diplomatic endeavors are not for public consumption), but his duty to his public includes much internet blogging on issues vital for the residents of the Five Towns. In fact, I am proud to say that Dr. Murray Vindaloo (along with Buddy Vroyle and Benny Gamal) have been instrumental in spearheading with me my Initiative to Incorporate Woodmere as a Village. Remember – it takes a Village to make a tsimmes and it takes Dr. Murray Vindaloo to expertly prepare and cook this traditional sweet dish!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for Veterans Day Coverage To the Editor, Thank you so much for the honor and special opportunity of being interviewed for The South Shore Standard’s issue that reﬂected on Veterans Day, one of the most meaningful holidays of our great nation. Being chosen by your publication to, in some small way, represent generations of brave and selfless military veterans is an privilege I cherish. While The South Shore Standard’s very talented and kind reporter, Susan Varghese, wanted me to share my personal experiences, I felt that, by doing so, I was able to salute the service of countless veterans and keep alive the memory of dear friends from childhood to adulthood as well as people I have never met but still feel akin to. I must add that my service as Lieutenant JG in the WAVES ended the year my daughter was born, in 1953. I was proud to have served our nation and have helped our war wounded regain strength and relearn needed, every day skills through medical occupational therapy. But, I was also glad, that year, to hear that there was a gentleman in Kansas who believed that Armistice Day should be expanded to celebrate all veterans of all wars. One year later, President Eisenhower signed that very idea into law. Today, The South Shore Standard is keeping the spirit of that historic moment alive in this community. Many thanks to your esteemed publication for enriching our community. Most sincerely,

Lucy Salpeter Woodmere

It Doesn’t Take a Village and 50 is Golden To the Editor, The Legendary Danny O’Doul does not speak for all of us in Woodmere. We are quite content without adding another layer of government on top of the Town of Hempstead. We don’t need a Board of Trustees, a Mayor, an attorney, a justice, a clerical staff, an auditor, an engineer and the tax-

es that pay for them. Nor do we need meetings of the disgruntled and their never ending complaints. Nor do we need the political campaigning for those positions -- including the phone calls and mailings. Leave that to the other Villages in The Five Towns. Perhaps Danny (non-alcoholic) O’Doul needs to get liquored up in order to recognize reality. Village of Woodmere? Nyet. Concerning Joel Moskowitz’s column last week about marriage and his 25th Anniversary, while I agree with his concepts -- my wife and I will be celebrating our 63rd anniversary on Dec 5th, our son has been happily married for 31 years and our daughter similarly for 24 years, I must take exception to your attributing the golden anniversary to 25 years. My ﬁrst recollection of a golden anniversary was that of my maternal grandparents, many, many years ago, when they were married for 50 years. They have long since moved on. My parents then celebrated their golden anniversary -- again at 50 years -- right here in my Woodmere home. Exactly when did 25 years cease being a silver anniversary and convert to gold? That’s carrying inﬂation a bit too far. I will be interested in hearing the history on that.

Air Raid To the Editor, I am a resident of Albertson, where my neighbors and I have, for the last few weeks, been continuously subjected to huge, low-flying aircraft passing directly over our homes. It used to be more sporadic months ago, but now it is constant. My neighbors and I suffer from lack of sleep and we cannot even talk outside. One neighbor said that he saw the rain coming off the wings one time, and I was able to read, “Air Berlin.com” on the underbelly of a plane as it flew over my home! That’s how close they fly . The 5,000 to 10,000 feet that the FAA states is total-

ly false. More important are the environmental issues --the toxic fumes and spewed fuel that are so dangerous to our health. I have written to Senator Schumer, Congressman Ackerman and Mr. Namgano without any success; each office has either redirected me to another office that in turn redirected me to still another office or has told me that they are unaware of the noise or sent me automated replies. There is no need to fly over Long Island! Whatever the FAA wants to accomplish will come off the backs of hard working people who wish to preserve their health, their investment in their homes and a good quality of life. If you want your voice to be heard, you can attend the TownVillage-Aircraft-Safety & Noise Abatement Committee (TVASNAC) meeting that will be held this month on Monday, November 28th at 7:30 p.m. at Lawrence Village Hall in Lawrence. This forum is open to all. Guest FAA speakers will be Jeff Clarke, Senior Manager FAA Eastern Region and David Siewart, Manager JFK Tower. I plan to be there!

Blima Mandelbaum Albertson

More Concern on Planes Dear Editor, Should we be concerned that an increasing number of loud, low-flying planes are flying over our homes day and night -- 68,408 aircraft in 2010 -- making us wish we lived somewhere else? Should we be concerned that 80 percent of these planes are flying well below the FAA mandated altitude for safety? Should we be concerned about the health issues associated with the very realistic possibility of having jet fuel spewed down upon us? Should we be concerned that over 90 percent of all aircraft “bird strikes,” two of which occurred at JFK last week, occur at altitudes below 2500 feet?

SIBLINGS

By Brooke Gottlieb

hree years ago, my brother Reuben had just graduated from high school and I was just beginning. I was and still am the baby of the family. Every year since, my grandparents have asked me at every holiday get-together, “Are you done with high school yet?” This Thanksgiving, I am prepared to say, “Almost!” Perhaps the most signiﬁcant difference this Thanksgiving will be that I have a new best friend, Reuben. Reuben and I have always been close, but over the past few years, we have developed a different relationship. Yes, he will always be the boss when my parents are away, but now Reuben is more than just the older brother with a car who drives me everywhere. I am no longer the little sister who loves to barge

in and embarrass my brother when all of his friends are over either. As I have gotten older, we have had to adapt. We have had to realize that at the end of the day, we are best friends above all. No longer will we share a similar bond over watching “The Simpsons” at the dinner table. Instead, we will have to rely on our friendship, our funny Facebook pictures and our obsession over Jay-Z to keep us together past our childhood years living in the same house. This past weekend, I visited Reuben. He took me out with all of his friends and I did not feel like the baby. We were on a somewhat common ground besides the fact that I had no clue where I was going and the big, unfamiliar campus was a bit overwhelming. Sadly, there is no “Maintaining Your Relationship With A

Sibling For Dummies.” Over the past year, I have realized that my friends are always there for a good laugh, but Reuben is my backbone. I guess I can say that I am lucky, but the truth is that this relationship will take compromise and effort from both sides. Reuben is going to be home for Thanksgiving break, but it is strange to think that this time next year, our schedules will be completely different. I will not be counting down the days until Reuben comes home so I can annoy him and sit on his bed for hours, convincing him to watch “Real Housewives.” Instead, both Reuben and I will have to make the effort and adjustments necessary to see each other and catch up. It will not be as easy as walking down the hall anymore. How our friendship will develop next year is uncertain, but this process is just another step in growing up. One thing I am conﬁdent about is that I will always be the one who chooses which television show we are going to watch. Sorry Reuben, but “Entourage” will never be a top choice.

With an increase in gas prices and toll prices, you might want to think twice before taking a far trip over the river and through the woods to grandma’s.

Properly Preparing the Turkey County Executive Edward Mangano and acting County Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein recently released tips to properly prepare a turkey to avoid food poisoning and cooking ﬁres. “Thanksgiving is a festive day, I wish all of our residents a very happy and healthy holiday,” said County Executive Mangano in a statement. “The Department of Health offers the following simple tips for safely handling, cooking, and storing turkey to ensure a safe and enjoyable meal.”

Storing Turkey: Fresh turkey: Buy a fresh turkey within one or two days of planned cooking and serving. Refrigerate it immediately upon returning home. The temperature in the refrigerator should be 40°F or lower. Frozen turkey: Turkey, which is frozen, should be stored in a home freezer at 0°F or below.

Thawing Turkey: Thawing time for a frozen turkey depends on its weight, and the method used. The preferred way to thaw turkey is in the refrigerator, at a steady, cold temperature of 40° F or lower. Allow approximately 24 hours in the refrigerator for every ﬁve pounds of turkey. For example, an 18-pound turkey will need 3-4 days in the refrigerator to thaw. A frozen turkey can also be thawed in cold water. Change the cold water every 30 minutes. A 12-pound turkey takes about six hours to thaw in cold water. A large bird (20 to 24 lbs.) takes about 12 hours. A properly thawed turkey can be kept in the refrigerator for an additional one to two days before cooking. Do not thaw frozen turkey at room temperature, because the higher temperature promotes growth of disease-causing bacteria. Microwave ovens can be used to thaw a turkey, but only if the manufacturer’s instructions are followed for the size of the turkey, minutes per pound and power level needed, since each microwave oven varies. If the microwave is used to thaw the turkey, cook it immediately after thawing.

Preparation: Once thawed, remove the turkey’s neck and giblet pieces. Wash the turkey thoroughly inside and out with cold water. It is safer to cook stufﬁng outside the turkey because a stuffed turkey takes longer to reach the proper cooking temperature. If stufﬁng is cooked inside the turkey, stuff the bird very loosely. To help prevent foodborne illness, be sure to wash everything that comes into contact with the uncooked turkey with hot, soapy

water – including hands, sink, cutting board and utensils used to prepare or stuff the turkey. Cooking: Read the label for cooking instructions. The turkey should be cooked at an oven setting of 325°F or higher. A thoroughly cooked turkey, as well as stuffing, must reach a minimum of 180°F before being removed from the oven. The juices of the turkey should run clear. While pop-up timers give some indication of “doneness”, it is recommended that the temperature be checked in several parts of the bird with a regular meat thermometer. Inadequately cooked turkey is the main reason that roast turkey causes illness!

Serving: Let the turkey stand 20 minutes before carving. If stuffed, remove the stuffing from the bird and serve it in a separate bowl. Everyone looks forward to leftovers. Remove leftover turkey from the bone, and refrigerate it, stuffing and gravy within two hours of cooking. Use leftover turkey or stuffing within three days and leftover gravy within 1-2 days. Improper cooling and reheating are major causes of food borne illness in addition to insufficient cooking. For more information about food safety, please contact the Nassau County Department of Health Office of Food Protection Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. at: (516) 2279717, or visit http://www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/Health/ Food/protection.html.

AHC is Cedarhurst’s Appliance Superstore

.H.C. Appliance is located at 530 Central Avenue in the heart of Cedarhurst. Sandy and Jay Tau, the owners of AHC, have been respected members of The Five Towns community for over 25 years and have over 30 years’ experience in the appliance industry. With their recent move to their new 6,000 square foot state of the art showroom, Sandy, Jay, Maya and their knowledgeable sales staff have brought the business into the 21st Century. AHC Appliance is the only authorized Five Town dealer of Subzero, Wolf, Viking, Monogram, GE, Kitchenaid and other wellknown brands. With extensive knowledge of the thousands of products and brands the staff at AHC prides themselves in guiding thousands of customers into making smart educated appliance choices.

Besides major appliances they sell most brands of televisions as well as seasonal items such as snow blowers, barbecues and air conditioners. They offer expert installation on each type of product. AHC prides itself in their extensive product knowledge. “I spend quite a bit of time,” Sandy says, “attending factory trips and training to be up to date on the never ending changes going on within my industry. I work closely with the manufacturers and have countless conversations with the wonderful group of people at Star-K to make sure that I am advising my Orthodox customers properly. I want to be sure that their appliances are conducive for Sabbath and the holidays. This is not an industry that one can simply jump into. It takes time, learning, knowledge and experience to do this job properly. The store caters to every type

of appliance style as well as every budget. It has a huge selection and options of different colors, sizes and styles all just dedicated to the appliance industry. “We had been approached over the years by different people in the industry to be part of a design center. We recognized early on that there are many ﬁne cabinet places and kitchen dealers so limiting ourselves to one kitchen cabinet company or decorator just wasn’t an option. “ AHC is sensitive to the precarious ﬁnancial times we live in and offer appliance rentals and leasing as an alternative option. They offer expert installation by a local licensed and insured installation company. The showroom is open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Fridays (during winter months) and 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. They are closed on Saturdays.

AHC Appliances’ Noel Denker, Sandy Tau and Maya Catania are always available to help customers through every step of their purchase. Photo by Scott P. Moore.

What The Well Dressed Man Will Be Wearing… Emporio Says Green is The New Lavender BY SUSAN VARGHESE STANDARD ASSOCIATE EDITOR

kay guys, for spring 2011, green is the new lavender. When it comes to ties, the skinnier the better. Slim is in, according to Emporio storeowner, Josh Szpilzinger.

Small lapels, and skinny ties are going to be big, Szpilzinger explained. Even for the suit obsessed who don’t stray from traditional cuts and designs, Szpilzinger suggested updated neckwear to freshen up a dated wardrobe. Expect to see even the most rigid suit-and-tie men in patterned plaids, checkered designs, and pleat-less pants to accentuate the slim fit style. Just in time for the season, Szpilzinger is expanding their collection from traditional Hugo Boss to Hugo Boss Red Label, which is their younger trendier division. On the other end of the spectrum, for the classic customer, Emporio now has Ravazzolo suits that are “made to measure,” it offers customers custom-made suits starting at $2300. For a sporty ensemble, Szpilzinger suggested a green Lacoste polo ($95) Hugo Boss Jeans ($125), and Donald J. Pliner loafers ($298). To prepare the kids for Easter or Passover, Szpilzinger recommends a black blazer from Princeton ($200), a Linea Franco tie ($30), and slacks by Tallia ($43). Szpilzinger also noted suits from Ravazzolo, Canali, and Lacoste sportswear, for boys and men.

March madness at Emporio

men with some options, Szpilzinger said.

Pictured is a suit jacket by Alesso ($299), slacks by Alesso ($125) and a tie by Lario ($85)

“This is a very vibrant community…finding women’s shoes here? No problem, but for men’s shoes there was nowhere to go.”

The key to staying trendy and traditional is to not be too out there, Szpilzinger said. “Every trend has the extreme. The runway model and what they wear, and then there’s always something that a customer could pick up that’s actually wearable.“

About Emporio Emporio’s flagship store was started 20 years ago by Szpilzinger and co-owner David Rappapport, and is based in Brooklyn. However, Emporio in Cedarhurst opened only two years ago to provide

Shades of green neckwear ($29-$150)

Pictured clockwise: Black Canali suit ($1,595), grey Alesso suits (each $1,425), and ties by Lario ($85)

Lacoste Polos (ranging from $79.50-$88.00)

When asked what’s important to men when they’re shopping, Szpilzinger said, “to have everything under one roof.” Szpilzinger noted Emporio’s selection and free expert tailoring to be a valuable asset to customers. “A customer can get their sportswear, their ties, suits, and shoes, and they didn’t have to go to different places. For a retail store, we carry a massive inventory. People walk in, and generally speaking, they’re going to find what they’re looking for. I think that’s a piece of mind for a customer, to know that they can come in and know that they’re not going to do this three times--it makes all the difference.“

“President Obama attended the ﬁrst college basketball game ever played on an aircraft carrier. Don’t confuse that with the NBA. That’s a bunch of guys not playing basketball on a sinking ship.”

“Rick Perry forgets his own talking points, Herman Cain forgets every woman he ever groped, Mitt Romney forgets he used to be for everything he is now against; they don’t need debates, they need ginkgo biloba.”

–Jay Leno “If we have to sit through any more of these Republican debates, I’m ready for a dictatorship.”

–David Letterman “I’m thinking Herman Cain doesn’t get it. He brought a date to the debate.”

DEMOCRATIC VOICE

Election Day Post Mortem CONTINUED FROM P. A8 The party is perceived to be too out of touch. It is this perception, which is not based in reality that is killing us. Democrats must take stock of the political realities. The word “taxes” terriﬁes most voters. Bandying the word around is political death. Unfortunately, most voters are less of afraid of deﬁcit spending and a huge national debt than they are of new taxes. The fact that this is ruinous in the long run does not change the reality that voters will not vote in this economic climate for any candidate who is perceived to want new taxes. There is a backlash occurring nationally against the traditional Democratic base. Unions are now considered to be much less of a factor in the political spec-

trum, because membership is down and because right to work laws have lessened their ability to recruit. But they also are suffering a perception issue that their contracts are not reﬂective of the economic realities. Workers expect to contribute into their health insurance. Pension plans are costing employers way too much and that union demands are perceived to be unreasonable considering the economy. The fact that workers have achieved safer working environments and better wages overall may be perceived as counter-intuitive in light of today’s economy. The Democrats have to navigate this better. It is costing them votes. Locally, we have to examine what kind of Long Island do we want? The reality that we are not so suburban anymore ﬂies

in the face of the idea that we perceive ourselves much in the way our parents and grandparents did. Long Island still sees itself as the escape valve for New York City, even though many of the big companies that provided work here are gone. It may be so that we dreamed of moving to the suburbs, but our children are moving out in droves, because they see no future here. What is left is a voter base tied to the past and that voter base will continue to vote Republican unless the Democratic Party wakes up to that reality and starts spending real money on local campaigns, honing their message based on the future and not the past and starts attracting the young people who will revitalize the part and Long Island. I hope it happens right away!

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

“iPads Cannot Fly” CONTINUED FROM P. A8 ter only two miles. Here’s where gravity comes in. Over the past ﬁve years, I have used numerous column inches to regale readers with details of my latest stupid move. My talents know no limits, though even I assumed I had seen it all when I gracefully broke my toe and needed stitches. Before this week, the toe was in ﬁrst place. That, however, has changed. That was before my escapades last Sunday at the gym, before I fell off the treadmill and before I shattered the iPad. I cannot explain to you exactly how I managed to fall off the machine, though I imagine my foot must have hit the plastic runners alongside the belt as I ran. Somehow, I took a misstep and fell. Luckily, I did not roll backwards and hit the wall behind me, the likes of which I have seen in animated movies, all of which are plausible when I am in the picture. Instead, I somehow lost my foot-

ing and fell. In an effort to save myself, I mangled my finger and destroyed the iPad. As a result of jarring the treadmill, the iPad flew like a Frisbee, landing flat on the floor. As I went to pick up the really expensive toy that had fallen face down, I commented, “This is not going to end well.” Unfortunately, I was right, for as I picked the iPad off the floor, tiny shards of glass fell, the remnants of the screen laying both on the linoleum titles and in my hand. Gravity had struck again, besides my own personal trip to the floor as a result of my grace. True to form, however, this was not the worst part of the experience. The problem was really that the iPad belonged to my husband. I began to prepare for what was sure to be one unfortunate conversation when I got home. As they say: this was not going to be pretty. Luckily for me, I am not the adult in any relationship. My husband, accustomed to my antics, heard the entire story, and

New in Movies Friday, November 18 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1: Rated PG-13. The

highly anticipated ﬁnal chapter to the Twilight Saga is ﬁnally here. Bella and Edward get married at the Cullen house and then have a romantic honeymoon getaway off the coast of Brazil. Bella then becomes pregnant with Edward’s child – an event that could cost Bella her life. Meanwhile, Jacob, Sam and the rest of the werewolf pack try to prevent the “monster” from being born, saying it is their mission to do so in order to protect the people. Bella grows weaker and weaker as time goes by, and suddenly, drinking human blood is making her stronger.

immediately looked at my finger. “Ice and ibuprofen,” he said, as the swelling on my finger increased, the shades of purple intensified. My hand was more important than any toy, regardless of price. A couple of minutes passed before he asked the most logical question, searching for some clarification. “How DID this happen exactly?” he asked. I retold the story, but he shook his head, needing to cut to the chase. Like any good lawyer, he wanted the bottom line. “Did anything happen to the car or did you cause injury to anyone else?” he asked as if I was on the stand. “NO,” I said, bizarrely proud that in this case I managed only to hurt myself. “Okay, then,” he said, case closed. Having put it in perspective, with no liability and no looming insurance hike, this was not going to be as bad as I had imagined. Always ready to take advantage of an opportunity, however, this may be the perfect time to tell him about the ticket I just got.

FIRST PERSON

The View from a Nikon Woodsburgh Resident is Photography Enthusiast BY SUSAN VARGHESE

here are many ways to see the world and Michael Goffin prefers the view from his Nikon 18-200mm lens. Goffin, a Woodsburgh resident, is an amateur photographer with an eye for the beauty in nature. “I like taking pictures of anything that’s beautiful,” Goffin said. “A lot of photographers do faces. They evoke the most emotion from a person. But, those faces invariably are sad, or old, and tell a story of a sad life. It upsets me, so I don’t do that. Most of my work is nature. The beauty in nature – it could be butterflies or [pictures] down at the docks.” Goffin grew up in Far Rockaway, but has been living in The Five Towns since 1973. A retired radiologist since 2008, he was

previously the Chairman of radiology at St. John’s until 2001, and then worked at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Since then, Goffin has had more time to take photos, but he noted that he started from a much earlier age. “When I was a child, I belonged to the photography club in my temple,” Goffin said. “In those days, it was very expensive to develop the film. My parents came from very modest means. We didn’t have the money to develop roll after roll and throw out 90 percent of the pictures. But my interest in photography started then.” Radiology and photography aren’t as different as they seem, Goffin added. “Radiology, when you think about it, is very visual. I was always a very visual person...I always wanted to

do something a little more, but time got in the way.” Eventually, in the fall of 2007, after realizing that the small, basic camera he had was insufficient (the shutter lagged and by the time the camera went off the moment passed) he purchased a new camera, a Nikon D80. He’s sold about 300 of his pictures online and also makes note cards that can be used for the holidays. He may have sold hundreds of his photos, but that’s not the reason he likes to take pictures. “It’s the idea that somebody likes what I do,” Goffin said unassumingly. “...There’s a great satisfaction to not only to produce something I like, but to know that someone else gets pleasure out of it.” Goffin can be found snapping shots at the pond in Hewlett Harbor, where he’s been able to find a unique perspective every time he goes back. “It’s amazing how I’ve gone back time and time again, and each time I find something different,” Goffin explained. “ Whether it’s the time of day, the position where I’m standing…always a different perspective.” His family has been supportive, which includes his three kids, five grandkids, and wife, Lynn, but Goffin said that sometimes he needs a reminder to stop taking pictures and relax. “ My daughter said ‘enough – you’re supposed to come to these events and enjoy them!’” Goffin said with a laugh. “Then my eldest grandchild had a bar mitzvah, and I left my camera at home.” His wife, Lynn noted her delight that Goffin found something he has a knack for. “…He’s got a great eye. He sees things that other people don’t see, but they can appreciate it…It’s something that he loves. I hope that someday when I retire, I’ll find something that will enthrall me as much as this enthralls him.” Besides a natural inclination to take photos, Goffin noted that his past profession awarded him experience. “I think the fact that my whole career, I was using my eyes and looking at images and dissecting them. I found myself walking around and looking at the world as though I was looking through the lens of a camera…That’s just what I do.” Full galleries of photos can be viewed and purchased at photoartbymichael.ifp3.com
