George W. Hewlett High School came in as the 44th best New York State high school according to the latest U.S. News and World Report rankings. The school came in at number 281 nationwide. The report, which came out on Tuesday, included data on nearly 22,000 public high schools. According to U.S. News and World Report, the 2012 report ranked high schools from 49 states and the District of Columbia. The state of Nebraska did not report enough data to be included in the rankings. The report rewarded Hewlett High School with a U.S. News Gold Medal, which is the highest level of medal awards. To be considered for a gold medal award U.S. News looks at the performance on college-level Advanced Placement (AP) exams or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. Sixty-two percent of Hewlett High School’s students participated in Advanced Placement courses and 84 percent of those participants passed the AP exams. On state exit exams, U.S. News and World Report found that 97 percent of Hewlett High School students are proﬁcient in English while 98 per-

Woodmere Man Invents Hands-off Solution to Turning Music Pages By Susan Varghese When Woodmere resident, George Wolberg, set out to create a solution to a common problem, he didn’t realize the success it would become. “A few years ago, while playing the piano, I became very frustrated with the inconvenience of page turning,” Wolberg said. “Taking one’s hands off their musical instrument to turn pages is a challenge that musicians have faced for centuries. I looked on the internet to see if there was any device on the market for hands-free automatic page turning. I found two products targeted for people with disabilities — they were very large, bulky, and expensive. One device even cost over $3,000. At that point I realized that there was an opportunity to invent a compact, low-cost device to meet the demands of musicians

and people with disabilities.” Wolberg’s low-cost automatic page turner was born from the old adage, “necessity is the mother of invention,” he said. Wolberg started designing his

It works with iPad apps like ForScore, OnSong, MusicReader, and others. The PageFlip Lite starts at $199 and the Cicada starts at $79.97. In the past month, pianist Michael Brown used the Cicada during his piano recitals at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Other pianists, such as Roman Rabinovich, have also used it during their world-wide concert tours. “It’s a thrill seeing the product used by such talented performers on the stages of such

famous venues. I also received great feedback from the guitarist for the Temptations and Four Tops, who are on tour now in Europe, and shortly in the U.S.,” Wolberg said. “I principally began by making this for myself,” Wolberg explained. “ I wanted to make a product that I’d be comfortable using. Now the goal is to spread the word and have it in musicians’ hands around the world... People with disabilities are still using the PageFlip lite version. It’s more popular with that community of users because they often prefer the low-tech approach to reading, without the need to own an iPad or Android tablet.

Lawrence Trustee Ed Klar Not Running for Reelection CONTINUED FROM P.

Unfortunately with the ongoing lack of cooperation and information, for me personally it has come to the point where I no longer feel my time and efforts are being well-spent.” Klar, along with Deputy Mayor Joel Mael and Trustee Michael Fragin, have often complained during meetings about late or changed meeting agendas or not receiving vital documents before meetings. “For the past two years, I have been very vocal, both privately with the individuals involved and publicly at our monthly Board of Trustees meetings, concerning the lack of information being provided

to the members of the Village Board of Trustees by the Village Administration, as well as the lack of responsiveness and follow up,” he continued. “Exercising my ﬁduciary responsibility on behalf of our residents is extremely important to me. That responsibility cannot be exercised in the dark.” Klar has been a member of the Board of Trustees since 2004 and has served two consecutive terms and has served on the Parks Commission. Before becoming a trustee, Klar also served Lawrence as a part of the village’s Building Design board. “It’s a very sad day,” said Mael after Klar’s speech. “I understand exactly the way he’s been mistreated.

The man then punched the boy in the face before another of the men kicked the boy in the abdomen and ribs. The boy saw the third man reach for what he assumed was a weapon and was able to finally flee the scene. The suspects fled in an unknown direction. Police have released descriptions of the three men. The first was described as a black man, approximately 5’ 6”, 140 lbs with dark wavy hair and a dark complexion wearing a white t-shirt with American Eagle logo and black and white sneakers. The second suspect was described as a black man, approximately 5’ 4”, 120 lbs. with a light complexion wearing green, white and black Jordan sneakers.

Trustee Fragin added that he wished he could change Klar’s mind and make him reconsider his decision. “I can understand he feels burnt out, but it’s unfortunate he won’t be here for another term,” said Fragin.

Pitching Duel Ends with Wild Walk-off Win for Hewlett By Scott P. Moore Standard Staff Reporter

ewlett may have only recorded three hits through nine innings of baseball on Wednesday afternoon, but those were all the hits the team needed as they pulled off an improbable victory behind the pitching efforts of Luciano Morello, 1-0, over Levittown’s Division High School. After eight-and-a-half straight scoreless innings, the Bulldogs had a great opportunity to move runners at ﬁrst and second into scoring position in the bottom of the ninth inning. Hewlett Head Coach Andy DiBernardo called for a sacriﬁce bunt from Jason Cecchetelli, hoping to place it just right to get a second-andthird, one out situation for the

“Cecchetelli put it right where we wanted it,” he said. “We took a real chance. I thought about holding the runner, but I thought that in this crazy game we have to push the envelope.” A late-starting game due to a rainy forecast began in a ﬂash with both Hewlett’s Morello and Division’s Mark Martinez matching each other inning for inning and zero for zero. Morello, who earned his third victory of the season, scattered six hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out ﬁve over nine innings. He wiggled out of a few jams including a nail-biting secondand-third, two out situation in the fourth, keeping a struggling Hewlett offense alive. “It was a gutsy performance,” said DiBernardo. “[Morello] said he was not feeling good when

two and three hitters awaiting their turns. Cecchetelli missed his first attempt, which saw Division’s corner infielders make mad dashes for the plate. “We told him if they all sprinted like that to try and put the bunt where the shortstop was,” said DiBernardo. On the next pitch, Cecchetelli placed a perfect bunt past the charging third baseman and vacated shortstop hole, trickling slowly into the dirt. Division’s pitcher ran after the ball and fired to home, but found the throw just late as the Bulldogs’ Pat Pasculli slid over the plate giving Hewlett a walk-off victory. The team crowded around Cecchetelli after the play in celebration and driving a small crowd of about 30 people into a frenzy.

He has been our horse all year.” All three of Morello’s wins this season have come on 1-0 Hewlett victories. “My pitches were really on today,” said Morello after the game, his teammates still celebrating the win. “Coach’s pitch selection was good too and I knew my defense was behind me, so I kept throwing it in there.” Morello, who had thrown well over 90 pitches, said he was excited for win, especially since he was getting tired after nine shutout in-

nings. Martinez, though, might have out-pitched Morello earlier in the game. Division’s starter retired the first 17 Bulldogs he faced, approaching perfection. Before he could put six innings in the books though, Hewlett’s Brandom Martinez slammed a triple to dead center field, going over the head of the centerfielder still on the fly and might have been a home run in other high school’s fields. Division’s Martinez was pulled in the ninth inning after a single and a walk gave Hewlett two on with none out.

“Unfortunately, one of the two pitchers who pitched amazing had to lose that game,” said DiBernardo, who joined many in attendance in applauding Martinez’ effort after he was relieved in the ninth. “Fortunate for us, it wasn’t our guy.” The win gives Hewlett a 4-11 record to end the season and a strange, feel good victory that should be talked about for weeks and months to come. “This was a great way to end our year,” said DiBernardo. “Nothing will top what we did tonight.”

Ateres Yaakov Eagles Pluck Rambam Ravens in Doubleheader By Scott P. Moore Standard Staff Reporter

he Ateres Yaakov Eagles, the defending Yeshiva High School Softball League champions started off on the wrong foot this season by being swept by the HAFTR Hawks, but have propelled themselves back into the thick of the standings by sweeping a doubleheader against the Rambam Ravens on Friday afternoon by the scores of 9-2 and 4-0. The Eagles took control of the first game early before the Ravens led a late rally during the end of the game. The Ravens managed to pick up a few runs before the Eagles shut down the bats and ended the game, earning a 9-2 victory. The second game between the two local Yeshivas was akin to old fashioned small ball – good pitching and good defense with timely hitting leading to the win. Starting pitcher Kharon Polatoff weaved his way in and out of jams all day, including a two-on, no one out jam and a bases loaded, two-out jam in the first inning alone. After the rocky first though, he settled down allowing only three more hits. Over his seven innings of scoreless ball, he allowed five hits and walked two batters. “He’s a great pitcher and he’s the heart and soul of our team,” said Eagles Coach Tzvi Herschenov “He just did a wonderful job for us today.” The Eagles picked up two

As the rain began to fall heavier, though, Hewlett took the goal back with another by Martorella, giving the Bulldogs a big 11-1 lead heading into halftime. In the second half, Coach Passuello pulled most of the starting line from the ﬁeld to give some of the backups a chance. The

Bulldogs scored twice during the third quarter and twice again during the fourth while Sewanhaka managed to net five goals during the half. As the rain came down in buckets though, the final horn sounded a Bulldogs victory. “We really need these guys to step up,” said Passuello. “We have a great first line, but so do all the other teams. These guys we’re going to need for the playoffs.” Hewlett was left without starting goaltender Michael Fine after he sustained an injury that

required 18 stitches against Lynbrook last week, but Coach Passuello said backup goaltender Justin Isaacs did a great job and he had faith the good work would continue. “[Fine] is really to be determined,” said Passuello, noting his questionability for the ﬁrst game of the playoffs because of the “vicious” hit. “Issacs is playing very well for us.

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes varsity softball team ripped through the Roosevelt Rough Riders in the teams’ last game of the regular season, dropping the visitors 34-5 at the Number Two School on Monday afternoon.

and the dust settled, Lawrence had the lineup bat around twice in the ﬁrst inning alone, scoring 13 runs. The Golden Tornadoes were not ﬁnished – eight more runners came across the plate during the third inning and 12 more during the bottom of the fourth. By the time the bottom of the

Island Trees to take on the Bulldogs on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Wynn said he is already looking forward to next season with much of this year’s starting lineup set to return. “I’m very excited for next year,” he said. “We’re going to have high expectations for these girls.”

Hewlett over Sewanhaka 15-6 in Tune-up for Playoffs CONTINUED FROM P. A4 season 5-3 in Conference III and 10-5 overall. The conference record was good enough to secure a third place ﬁnish and a home playoff game in the ﬁrst round

of the playoffs. “It was a nice win,” said Passuello. “We had a good season and we ended up in third place. We just want to get more consistent and more guys out there involved next time.”

The Bulldogs will take on their ﬁrst competition of the postseason this Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Hewlett High School. The opposing team, as of press time, was not announced yet.

YOUR FIVE TOWNS SEVEN DAY FORECAST

Lawrence Golden Tornadoes varsity softball’s graduating seniors won their last game of the season 34-5 The win improved Lawrence to 4-6 on the year, good enough for fourth place and a trip to the Nassau County playoffs. “We had our ups and our downs this season,” said Lawrence Head Coach Matt Wynn. “It was really great to end on such a high note.” The Rough Riders’ starting pitcher did one thing and one thing only – let runners on base. The Lawrence offense took advantage of free passes and fat pitches, astoundingly getting the first ten batters on base by base hit or by the walk. In fact, eight runners reached base by hit and five more were walked by Roosevelt pitching. By the time the first inning finished

fifth inning came, Lawrence was up 34-5 and the game was called on account of the mercy rule. Altogether, Lawrence punched out an amazing 26 hits along with nine walks on the day. “To win like this, it was perfect for our seniors,” said Wynn. Starting pitcher Emily DiNardi held the Rough Riders to five runs in the bout through her five innings pitched, earning her another win this season. The Lawrence Golden Tornadoes ended the season 4-6 and in fourth place in Nassau County’s League II, Conference Five and have earned a trip to the postseason. The number 16 ranked Golden Tornadoes will travel to

School Board Elections District 14

ast year we reported that the budget for the Hewlett-Woodmere School District (also known as District 14) has risen from $54.469 million in 2001 to $103.4 million for the 20112012 school year, which was an 89 percent escalation over that period. The new proposed budget foe 2012-2013 is going to be a whopping $106 million, as we reported in our March 30th issue. That works out to about a 94 percent growth in the school budget since 2001. There are about 3,050 students in the district (more or less) so the $106 million works out to a cost to taxpayers of roughly $34,750 per student. For this munificent and probably exorbitant sum, U.S. News & World Report ranked Hewlett High School as number 44 of all high schools in the state and number 281 in the nation – and the physical plant and facilities at District 14 schools are in pretty good shape, especially the athletic fields. It’s fair to say that kids in District 14 schools get a pretty good education. However -- $106 is a lot of money. The District 14 School Board is proposing a 1.91 percent property tax increase to pay for the rampup in spending from 2011-2012 levels. This proposed tax hike and new budget is to be voted on by District 14 residents on Tuesday, May 15th. While the tax increase is under the state’s two percent property tax cap, and that is to be commended – we need to find a way to cut and roll-back taxes. District 14 residents are heartily oppressed. Average three bedroom two bath homes in the district are shouldered with annual real estate taxes of between $12,000 and $15,000 – higher-end homes can see taxes well north of $30,000. This is a serious burden on homeowners on top of the onerous basket of taxes that gets deducted from one’s weekly paycheck. The District and the School Board has been responsible this year in planning the 2012-2013 budget and some of the increases are because of state-mandated expenses to be sure but maybe this is just so much whistling in the wind but we’re waiting for someone to come up with a plan to reduce the budget and lower taxes instead of just axiomatically accepting tax and spending increases as inevitable. Vote your conscience on the budget, bearing in mind that if the budget gets rejected twice by voters then the District will have to run next year on last year’s budget. A Hobson’s choice if there ever was one. Regarding the race for the three School Board seats – we’re pleased to see that longtime incumbents Marcy Goldberg and Jill Stern have opted to step aside and make room for some fresh blood on the board. Incumbent Stephen Witt has been a tireless presence for the area’s kids and no one can question his dedication, but he’s served on the School Board on and off for 28 years and he’s seeking yet another term. We think the time is ripe for change, so we urge you to vote for Fred Usherson to put a fresh perspective on the board. Melissa Gates and Jonathan Altus are also seeking spots on the board. We think a board mostly comprised of new faces is what Hewlett-Woodmere needs. Just as voters brought in newcomers Cheryl May and Scott McInnes this time last year, we recommend that voters continue that trend and put three more fresh faces on the board.

District 15

uesday’s election will not be a contest owing to no candidates opposing the reelection of incumbents Abel Feldhammer and Uri Kaufman. The District’s new 2012-2013 $93.1 million budget is also before the voters for ratification. The School Board and the Superintendent’s office have been doing a good job during the past year in slashing expenses to hold the line on burgeoning budgets. The rise in expenses for 2012-2013 is minimal and this is reflected in the successful no new taxes policy that the School Board has had in place for a number of years now. Last year in our endorsement of Asher Mansdorf and Murray Forman we wrote: “They have managed to hold the line on tax increases (the majority of real estate taxes go towards education) in an environment of shrinking state aid and increasing state spending mandates. They’ve managed to extract greater productivity from a downsized workforce. They’ve made improvements to the schools’ infrastructures including some of the playing fields, science labs, and auditoriums. Most significantly however has been the improvement in test scores, graduation rates, college acceptances and in the quality of instruction, education and extracurriculars in general. Is there still room for improvement? Absolutely. There are still facilities that need upgrading. There are yet more spending cuts that could be implemented and cost efficiencies yet extracted, but the board is clearly heading in the right direction working concurrently in the best interests of the kids and the beset taxpayers.” While we’re still somewhat concerned about possible conflicts of interest and allegations of insider-dealing over the sale of the Number Six School which have never been explained or dealt with satisfactorily, we nevertheless urge you to come out and vote in favor of the budget and give a vote of confidence to Mr. Feldhammer and Mr. Kaufman. It has to be said that Lawrence, with approximately the same number of students as Hewlett-Woodmere is doing it for $13 million a year less, which is one reason why real estate taxes for homeowners in District 15 are appreciably lower than in neighboring District 14. In these tough economic times when many homeowners are struggling to make ends meet, that says a lot.

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

With a Bipartisan Approach, America can Take-on China By Carolyn McCarthy

raveling around Nassau County and meeting with residents of the Fourth Congressional District, I’m hearing a common theme from community leaders, business leaders and regular citizens alike. While people recognize the consecutive months of job growth the last few years, it doesn’t matter to them when unemployment and uncertainty are still too high. Too many people are still struggling – even the employed are too often living paycheck to paycheck – and conﬁdence is weak in the situation improving quickly. Many are skeptical of government’s ability to help. I don’t blame them when they turn on the TV and see politicians in Washington bickering about petty disputes that have nothing to do with the economy. But American democracy itself isn’t the problem – I believe it’s the hyper-partisan, obstructionist agenda brought to Washington by the freshman class of ultra-conservative ideologues that has brought more dysfunction the nation’s capital than I’ve seen in my lifetime. Thanks to them we’ve spent countless hours debating things that most Americans agree upon – like extending the payroll tax cut or protecting Medicare from privatization – because of differences in other matters like women’s health care funding. It would be wrong not to note that there are many of us in Washington who are focused on the economy, and putting party politics aside in order to try to improve the economy. You can see this with many of my Congressional colleagues and in recent initiatives that I’ve participated in with regards to America’s position in the global marketplace. Just this Wednesday, May 9, I told my colleagues on the ﬂoor of the House of Representatives: “Our nation is at a crossroads. One job at a time, we’re gradually emerging from one of the worst recessions in living memory. But at this very moment, we can either stand in the way of America’s ongoing recovery, or speed it up. American businesses have recently watched their counterparts in other countries, like China, become world leaders in exporting. I believe strongly that now, it’s America’s turn. It’s America’s turn to put our workers – the best workers in the world – to work in selling their goods and services to an untapped global market. It’s America’s turn, to see its innovative businesses reach their full potential, to grow and create local jobs in communities across the country.” I was speaking just before the overwhelmingly bipartisan vote to reauthorize the U.S. Export-Import Bank, which passed with the support of every

She is a member of the Education and Workforce Committee as well as the Financial Services Committee, and is ranking member of the International Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee.

Congress member in New York except one, and with the support of leaders as different as Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer. All 93 votes against this legislation, in fact, came from the Right Wing of the Republican Party. As the “Ranking Member,” or lead minority party member, on the International Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee of the Financial Services Committee, I’m proud to have played an integral role in the bipartisan negotiations to help bring about this deal. It’s a win for the American people. The U.S. Export-Import Bank reports that it has assisted 5,716 American exporters since 2007, with about twothirds of them being small businesses, the backbone of the American economy. This includes six companies in my district, including A.J. Hollander Enterprises of Lawrence; Ecological Laboratories of Lynbrook; Ellman International of Oceanside; and International Logistics Express of Valley Stream. In fiscal year 2011 alone, the Bank supported nearly 290,000 American jobs. And the Bank is self-funding, using fees and interest from companies it assists, and makes a profit, which goes into the U.S. Treasury for taxpayers. Since 2008, the Bank has generated $1.9 billion in excess revenue for U.S. taxpayers. I also fought recently to position the United States economy and its workers more strongly against China by joining a bipartisan Congressional letter with upstate Republican Nan Hayworth, Long Island Republican Peter King, and others. In the letter we tell President Barack Obama and top Administration officials to help make trade with China more fair and profitable for American businesses and workers – and to bring up the issue at a critical summit between the two nations at the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue, whose last summit was held in Beijing last week. Protectionist measures by foreign nations like China put American companies and workers at a competitive disadvantage and limit American job growth. This is outrageously unfair and unacceptable, and we must fight back with conviction. You can read the full letter on my website, at www.carolynmccarthy.house.gov. Improving our economy and working in a bipartisan manner to achieve that are central to my mission as a member of Congress. Newsday recognized these priorities of mine in an editorial last year when they called me “a nationally recognized voice of reason.” Dale Brown, chief executive of the Financial Services Institute, said in an Investment News article last month, “Ms. McCarthy has influence… She is a credible voice on the Democratic side of the aisle.” But the greatest satisfaction of all will come when I see more and more of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle working together to improve our economy. It’s the duty and responsibility of elected officials to put politics aside and do what’s right for the people we represent. Even if it means making something that used to be common in Washington but is becoming increasingly rare: compromise and cooperation. The American people deserve nothing less.

onths in the making, I was finally able to complete a half marathon last Sunday, along with thousands of other runners participating in the Long Island Marathon. After logging plenty of hours and miles, running 13.1 miles went a lot faster and more easily than I expected. My joints did not hurt and I felt great, even somewhat emotional, as I crossed the finish line and reached my goal. A number of local bands performed live as we ran by, one group played Bruce Springstein’s “Glory Days” which made many of us smile to ourselves. Some runners had messages printed on their clothes. One runner had “I’m sexy and I know it” written boldly between his shoulder blades, while a woman near me had “I RUN TO REIGN” emblazoned on her back. Those who ran in support of a particular charity wore shirts in recognition of that, while the otherwise dizzying sea of brightly colored shirts changed as if part of the landscape we continued to pass. With more than enough thoughts and ideas whizzing through head at any given time, listening to music as I run is unnecessary. Regardless, I ran for about a mile near a man who sang every song on his playlist out loud. While we did not share the same taste in music, I was pretty impressed at his ability to run and sing at the same time. Then there was the woman who sang Fun’s “We Are Young” like her life depended on it as we ran under an overpass, her voice resonating and bouncing off the cavernous walls. To add to the moment, she gesticulated wildly with her hands, like there were hand motions to the song that only she knew. More power to you, I thought. Whatever gets you through the night – or in this case, through the run. Onlookers and supports cheered and held up posters along the route. One woman held a sign that read, “Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body” while another read, “And You Thought this Would be FUN?” That made me smile, as did the two which read, “Water Now – Beer Later” and “One Mile to Tequila.” Toddlers sitting atop shoulders and young children standing along the side cheered their parents on. The most excited of the spectators was a dog who howled as his owner ran by. “Hi, baby!” cried a woman near me, waving excitedly at the dog as she ran by. I laughed, thinking that this was almost as good as the guy who was running in a double breasted suit and hat. Not kidding. Immediately after finishing, I called my husband and we spoke briefly, after confidently telling him I really felt fine and that the race had gone well. I then texted a cou-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

TO SELL OUR SEWERS? AH, THAT IS THE QUESTION!

he big question on the minds of all deep thinkers in The Five Towns this week is why Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano wants to sell the County’s sewer system for $750 million. The ﬁrst red ﬂag these astute Five Towners notice is this -$750 Million …that sounds like a bargain at twice the price! But, then these neighborhood pundits start wondering that even at this “cut-rate bargainbasement markdown,” why would anyone actually want to buy the underground sewer system? After all, sure the sewers comprise networks of conduits and tunnels, but, mostly, their stuffed with old wet leaves. Yes, who, indeed, would want this labyrinthine, subterranean cluttered migraine headache? Well, Dear Readers, when you want your in-depth questions answered with detailed, “out-of-the-box” insights and esoteric background information, you come to me, The Legendary Danny O’Doul – affectionately referred to by thousands of Five Towners as “The Right Place!” Now, to begin with, what must be acknowledged is that the Nassau County Sewer System is one of the biggest “Landlords” in the County. Yes, you read that correctly -- the County’s sewer system is a “Landlord.” And, don’t think I am referring to discarded baby alligators, snakes and hamsters. I am talking about a clan of reptilian-humanoid creatures who inhabit our County’s sewers in growing record numbers. Perhaps, a few of you are familiar with a species of “Lizard People” who have long been rumored to dwell in subterraneous compounds throughout this country and possibly, throughout all The Americas. In Texas, they have long been referred to as “The Lavacans,” and centuries ago some ventured out of their underground lairs and

intermingled with some local Texans, thus creating a hybrid race of beings, some of whom became political leaders, captains of industry and cowboys. Out in New Mexico, residents have long called these underground dwellers “Los Hombres del Iguanos.” In New England the upper-crust Brahmins refer to them as “Those Damn Lizard Trolls.” And, on the Paciﬁc coast of Northern California they are known as “Underground Gator Ghouls,”or “Uggs.” Even the Mexicans have a name for the species that populates their country, if not all of Central America -- “Los Chubacabras Crocodilo Subterraneo.” So, why may you ask does Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano want to sell the sewers to a private buyer? Well, you see, I think Big Ed is afraid of something. What I think he fears is that because Nassau County has been a poor “landlord” and has not kept up with its side of the bargain by maintaining and cleaning its sewer system, Big Ed is worried that many of the county’s underground “residents” will soon decide to make their way above ground and into our neighborhoods. Especially, with the very reasonable real estate prices we are currently experiencing throughout the Island! Imagine the terror when fashionable ladies strolling along The Avenue dressed in Lululemon, shod in Prada and Nike, outﬁtted with Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren handbags and busy talking into their Bluetooth headsets, suddenly encounter “Underground LizardWomen” walking along, dressed in last year’s Calvin Klein fall collection and the entirely wrong shoes. Oh, the humanity! Run for your lives, ladies! This is exactly what Big Ed wants to avoid at all costs -even if means “hocking” the county’s sewer system for pennies on the dollar. Just as long as the buyer covenants to put

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing off and giving this helpful hint to all my readers: If you see leaves, garbage, or other debris stufﬁng up the sewer on your street, please clean it out immediately…or, we might all be competing soon for parking on The Avenue with a bunch of clammy beings driving European super-cars, talking on cell phones, but looking strangely similar to the “Creature from the Black Lagoon!”

bars on all of the County’s sewer grates to keep all these slithering reptilian humanoids from escaping their underground lairs. And, the buyer of the sewer system also has to promise to clean out all the leaves, garbage, and other storm-driven debris and maintain the sewers diligently, to keep the rain water flowing freely – the way the Lizard People like it! However, there may be an even more nefarious agenda at work here. There is a rumor that one of the possible buyers is none other than Apple. Yes, THAT, Apple, maker of the i-Pad and i-Pod, and soon, maybe the i-Drain -- a hi-tech sewer filtration sensor which will let only rainwater into the sewers, and keep out the flotsam and jetsam that usually makes its way down there. What will Apple want in return for its $750 Million investment? Well, as talk abounds of problems at Apple’s Foxconn supplier in China, the smart money is betting that Apple will corral these Subterranean Lizard-People and colonize them as a new, low-cost workforce, who simply will not unionize. Best of all, this direct distribution channel will mean that goods can get to Apple even quicker, resulting in their increased ability to stock their stores quickly and smoothly with the least amount of shipping and freightage. Big Ed, must know this and, may even believe that Apple will float that new Coliseum he’s been angling for ever since he first took office. Who knows, maybe, Apple told him they’ll name it “The Edward Mangano Nassau Coliseum.” And, perhaps they’ll erect a huge bronze monument of Big Ed sitting at the wheel of his Chevrolet Corvette, smiling and waiving to all incoming sports fans and concert goers. Perhaps, Apple can get its techies to install a hitech speaker system in Big Ed’s bronze-forged facsimile of his classic American sports car so all passersby can hear Big Ed intone, “I did it, I did it…I saved the Nassau Coliseum!” And, with any luck, some local college students, frenetically wreaking havoc during their frat’s “pledge week,” will dismantle the whole stinking statue and chuck it into the nearest sewer!

SOAPBOX

Packed With Pride

By Joel Moskowitz

here are not many titles I would want more than one I’ve had now for close to 24 years and that is the title of “dad.” Most of us get into the whole parenting thing without much training and like everything else in life we have our good moments and less than stellar ones. We usually don’t take time to reﬂect on the role we play in our children’s lives but every so often a milestone in their lives is on the horizon and we ponder not just the moment but the whole package. This Sunday, my wife and I will be escorting our daughter, our oldest child, down the wedding aisle. As the date gets closer I am a collage of emotions but the one that stands out most to me at this point is pride. It is a pride borne out, yes from my own parenting but more so from my daughter’s own journey of personal growth. While

my wife and I surely have something to do with it, I never cease to be amazed at the choices she’s made, including this one and the determination used to make them. I admit, I am not sad to see her leave the house or feeling an imminent sense of loss like one sees in the faces fathers in romantic comedy movies. I am not the type of father who thinks no one is good enough for my little girl. I actually encouraged independence and always (jokingly, but not really) told my kids that at 18 “they are out of here.” I accept that as my children get older so do I. I also realize that as they become more independent I don’t worry about them any less. When I walk my daughter down that aisle I will not wonder where all the time went. I will be thankful that my baby girl has spent every day of her life amazing her parents and peers and constantly topping all previous accomplishments. I

will reﬂect on a child who would not accept any limitations set on her by others, who set goals and achieved them, who exceeded expectations, overcame obstacles and never backed away from a challenge. I will wish for her eternal love and lifelong happiness. I will pray that she gets as much joy from her children as I have from her and her siblings. Most importantly, I will wish her a partnership as deep and understanding as her parents have. I often joke that I did not really begin to appreciate my father until I was about 30, I expect no less from my kids. It is hard to understand what goes through someone’s mind until you experience the same thing. As I approach this experience I can only thank my kids for giving me the best years of my life. I hope that despite my very human capabilities I have imparted knowledge and love that will sustain them in the future. Jews bless brides and grooms to build a faithful home amongst Israel. Today I bless my daughter the bride and her groom to build a strong, faithful home that will shine upon the whole open world.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King! To the Editor, Your article in The South Shore Standard for the week of May 4-10 2012 called “The King is Dead” was very informative and well written. There is one point that I feel is worth mentioning. Though, (see last paragraph ) you mentioned that Deli can do well if and when the Glatt deli owners put as much effort into their food as their non-Glatt and nonkosher counterparts. I know of one Glatt kosher deli/restaurant in The Five Towns that is beyond excellent and that is Traditions Restaurant on Central Avenue in Lawrence. I have been a loyal customer of theirs since they opened both in the restaurant as well as catering jobs that they have done for me. Everything that you mentioned that you feel is lacking can be gotten there. The owner, Scott Fagen is a person who is does not “take the customer for granted.” There has never been a time when I have been in the restaurant that he has not greeted his customer knowing their name and smoozing a bit with them while at the same time being on top of everything. His staff is also excellent and do their best to please the customer. I feel that I can speak from experience as I had been a customer of the local kosher delis for many years prior to my becoming religious and no longer eating in non-glatt restaurants that were open on Shabbos and holidays.

Robert Dornbush Bayswater

Hoffman’s Timing is Off To the Editor, I read with dismay the article by Leornard Hoffman concerning “timing.” It read like talking points for the Obama reelection campaign. Only economists in the tank for Obama like Austin Gools-

bee and the less than peerless Paul Krugman were referenced, and their pronouncements are rejected by most economists. First of all, it can be argued that the recession faced by Obama was no more serious than that faced by Reagan in 1981 (with combined double digit unemployment and double digit inflation). Second, the recession was not caused solely by greedy Wall Street capitalists and rapacious banks. The financial community tried unsuccessfully to manage the enormous amount of bad mortgages the banks were forced to grant applicants without the means to pay for them -- all in the name of “fairness.” George Bush did NOT cause the 2008-2012 recession. Third, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion under Obama in three years -- way more than the debt increased under Bush in eight years. The Keynesian solution of spend, spend, spend advocated by Krugman could not possibly have worked in an economic climate hostile to entrepreneurs -- particularly small businesspeople -- thanks to the dead hand effect of Obamacare, stifling federal regulation, and a totally misguided emphasis on feckless green energy projects like Solyndra. Finally I refer to the fact that, while unemployment remains high at 8.1% -- hardly indicative of economic recovery -- it masks the fact that a great many unemployed people have simply given up looking for work. Related to this fact is the explosion of people that have applied for social security assistance claiming disability as a remedy for being unable to find work. No, America is not yet Greece. It is simply on the way. I therefore recommend to Mr. Hoffman that he familiarize himself with the eminently reasonable Ryan plan for restoring our economy to sanity without punishing any Americans.

Senseless Slaughter To the Editor, Cedarhurst demolished many trees this week. The south side of Central Avenue (between Cedarhurst Ave. and Maple) had been lined with some beautiful trees for as long as this resident can remember... that’s 18 years in Cedarhurst alone. The trees offered enormous shade, rain-cover and mostly, the sole natural beauty of this block...that I ‘used’ to enjoy on my daily walk. When I asked the workers why they were cutting down all those trees, they said to enable them to pave the sidewalk with Cedarhurst’s red brick. What? Red brick? Instead of many trees some 50 years old? This irreversible demolition truly disturbed me. Decades to grow; minutes to destroy. Irreplaceable. My heart sunk. Residents grow accustomed to the beauty of their town, and some even move here for the lush suburban elements not found in concrete jungles. I wonder at the sensibilities of Cedarhurst elected officials: spending monies that could help the poor, the handicapped, and the stores closing down in droves. But instead...a thoughtless slaughter of our town’s natural life and beauty? For bricks??? Why weren’t residents consulted, the people that pay the salaries of officials? I’d like to see a response from Cedarhurst officials that any and all such plans under the town’s review, that can in any way affect residents, be voted on in the town hall. If these bricks were intended to somehow contribute to the beauty of this town, to ultimately revitalize commerce...I suggest Cedarhurst bring in intelligent strategists and marketers instead.

Brokers Say Local Real Estate Market is Picking-up By Susan Varghese

t’s spring selling season, and although the real estate market has been struggling the past few years, Five Towns realtors say that with the prices dropping, it’s ﬁnally starting to look up. According to the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island, a home priced at $399,250 in Nassau County last March saw a 4.8 percent decrease in

price last year. Ronnie Gerber, realtor at Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate said, “ The market…it’s going. There are a lot of houses on the market. The rates on the mortgages are very good, that’s what’s driving it. People are taking advantage of the low rates and prices.” More private homes are being sold, Gerber said. “The reason why things get picked up is

that people don’t know when the prices have hit rock bottom until prices start going up. People are feeling like the rates are as low as they’re going to be. They feel like it’s time to make a purchase.” The pressure to buy while prices are low is a common sentiment in a ﬂuctuating market. In the past month, a $2,200,000 home in Hewlett Harbor, a $370,000 home in Ce-

darhurst, a $310,000 in Woodmere, and a $265,900 home in Inwood have been sold. In Nassau County, there have been 524 homes, 38 condos, and 58 co-ops this year through March 2012. Pending home sales in Nassau have increased by over 11 percent over last year, with 982 sales pending. Milky Forst of Milky Forst Properties said that there are deﬁnitely more sales than prior

years. “Sales are doing a lot better than they were. Prices have come down, there’s definitely a stronger market this year. The Five Towns market has definitely improved, definitely more sales. It’s mainly homes. Co-ops haven’t picked up yet and aren’t doing as well.” Over 10 co-ops and condos have been sold since January in The Five Towns, with co-ops ranging in price from $32,000

to $205,000 and condos from $155,000 to $350,000. Susan Hollander of South Shore Estates noted that there are still many rentals, but sales have been picking up. “Houses are selling because prices have reached reasonable asking prices. People are coming out of the woodwork now. The market is promising and looking forward. I believe that I’m optimistic about the market.”

New Homes are Sprouting Like Spring Flowers TEXT AND PHOTOS By JONATHAN WALTER

ow halfway through spring, ﬂowers are popping up from the ground in The Five Towns, and so are brand-spanking new houses. From Hewlett Neck to Lawrence, houses and apartment buildings are being built to meet the high standards of Five Towns residents. Contractors are hard at work, erecting these structures. Some are nearly complete, requiring just some minor interior work and landscaping, while others have a long way to go, not looking like much of anything besides a mass of wooden planks and two by fours. Teardowns are coming back in vogue for those wanting a new home with all the bells, whistles and interior square footage imaginable. Despite the down economy and struggling real estate market, these new home owners are building their dream houses, many of which will be ready for the moving vans really soon.

HOME DESIGN

Redesigning your Home? Transitional Is In By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

pring cleaning does not need to just apply to polishing up the furniture and dusting off the shelves – why stop there anyway? A brand new design to any room can freshen up the home as the summer comes in and local home designers are suggesting a look they call “transitional.” As the name implies, transitional is a mid-way point between the traditional style, which is more ornate and popular in homes, and modern, which simpliﬁes items to the bare minimums and appears both stylish and classy. With this convergence, the two styles are mixing together to bring out the best in

homes. “Mixing does work,” said Michele Venturella, a representative at J. Mark Interiors in Cedarhurst. “Adding different elements here and there can really change a room.” The center of this, said Venturella, focused on Italian cabinetry for her. The sleek and stylish wood cabinets appear simple but can also be framed with a more traditional ﬁnish, bridging the gaps for the transitional look. Along the walls, different shades of grey have become popular for homes as the modern look overtakes the traditional theme during this transitional period. In bathrooms, glass mosaics, full of colorful pieces similar to stained glass or puzzle

pieces, have become very popular and a favorite among customers in our area. In other rooms, wallpapers, as always, continue to also be a dominant presence. “Textures, in wallpapers, are definitely in,” said Venturella, displaying a cushion-like paper in her showroom that, while looking full of depth, was as flat as paper. Lighting is a unique feature that can change the entire view of a single room. Venturella noted more elegant fixtures could still fit in with the modern look, but the look and feel had depends on the customer. In other parts of the home, energy-saving LED lighting has become popular in its own right and perfect, especially used in hidden strips, for illuminat-

ing countertops, bookcases and even stairwells while not being so bright to light an entire room or energy consuming as the average light bulb. On the floors, things have not changed much in the last few years – hardwood flooring is still popular throughout the home, especially covered with designer area rugs. “Nylon rugs are new thing we have,” said Alexander Rabinowitz at Pearl Carpet and More in Woodmere. “They have a lot of traditional designs on them, floral patterns that many people here like.” In addition to the new rugs, Rabinowitz noted that any other flooring options are really up to the customer’s room design. “Even with a blank canvas, your rugs and tiles should match

everything else going on in the room,” he said. “But we work with customers to make sure it looks good.” Michael Nacht of Dee-Jay Carpet in Cedarhurst agreed with that sentiment – the carpet or rugs are some of the last things that go into a room. “It’s a background for the room and not a focal point,” he noted. “Unless the owner wants to make the ﬂooring a bit of the focus, then we work with making sure it is noticed.” Nacht said that modern colors such as shades of grey, which last made their appearance as a popular choice around 15 years ago, have made their way back into common use, helping set off the transitional look of rooms as they go towards modern design. He not-

ed earthtones were being used less frequently as the interior designs make this switch. “What’s in this year will be out in ﬁve years,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s a huge cycle that repeats itself every 10 to 15 years. Much of this stuff was even popular 30 years. It’s like clockwork.” JGL Designs, which houses J. Mark Interiors, is located at 461 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst.

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

The Gay Marriage Debate Misses the Point Entirely

his week President Obama became the ﬁrst President in U.S. history to come out in favor of gay marriage. Obviously, Mitt Romney is against such a thing. The voters of North Carolina and a whole lot of other states have legislated against it to the extent of passing amendments to their state constitutions to that effect. What the President’s pronouncement does is set the stage to further ramp-up the volume in the Kulturkampf that will pass for this year’s presidential election. The delineations between “red” and “blue” states are essentially those between states whose populations deﬁne themselves as religious or secular with a preponderance of religious people identifying with the Republican Party and secular folks with the Democrats. There are independent and swing voters in both categories and people who straddle the fence. Social Conservatives say that “marriage” is only between a man and a woman, primarily citing religious imperatives and directives to that effect. Liberals talk about equal rights for all Americans and no discrimination based on sexual preferences. Both groups want legislation to enforce their particular view of this domestic arrangement. That’s where both sides have it wrong. The one question not asked

in this debate is “why is the government in the marriage business at all?” Marriage and other intimate relationships are very much at the core of one’s personal life, which ought not be anyone’s business. Why is the government determining the status of marriage of any kind and why do married people receive preferences or differentiations in their tax status? Government should not be in people’s bedrooms. The best way to handle the issue is to get government out of the marriage business entirely. Let couples be joined either religiously or with any kind of ceremony they want (or not) and/ or with legal contracts drawn by lawyers stating their mutual and reciprocal responsibilities without the government being the certiﬁer or arbiter of peoples’ status as a couple. Why do we need a “government stamp” on these personal decisions? And if people decide to split-up, let the courts just handle property settlements as civil suits. The government should not be granting divorces either. A waste of government time, personnel and money. To make this entirely fair, there ought to be no discriminatory laws or preferences for singles or couples, particularly in taxation. Everyone should pay the same rate. Folks should be able to designate (especially for medical emergencies and the like) who

their signiﬁcant other is, likewise for inheritance issues. Tax deductions for dependents (particularly children) should not be contingent on marital status, but on dependent status which makes things fair for single parents.

Because we have separation of Church and State, as enshrined in the Constitution, the logical resolution to this issue is for government to shutter the marriage bureaus entirely and leave these things to peoples’ consciences

and preferences. The gay marriage debate is a sideshow to the more important challenges facing Americans during this critical election year – it enables both candidates to effusively pander to their core con-

stituencies on an issue that is decided on the state, not federal level anyway. Let’s get government, at every level out of the bedroom and focused instead on the basic, essential services which really are its mandate.

On August 1st, Nassau residents will head to the polls to vote on a $400 million bond issue that would allow for the construction of a new sports arena at the current location of the Nassau Coliseum, this would be the new home for the New York Islanders. However, the general consensus is that the average Five Towner hasn’t even heard of the plan on the special election. The plan would keep the team in the county through 2045 under the deal, as well as provide a new venue for concerts and other events. The bond also calls for the construction of a baseball stadium that would be home to an Atlantic League of Professional Baseball team. Nassau County’s Ofﬁce of Legislative Budgeting says the plan will cost the average Nassau County homeowner on a property worth $400,000, about $58 per year, however County Executive Ed Mangano has projected that the plan will cost tax payers an average

No Solutions in Sight for Plane Noise TEXT AND PHOTOS BY SCOTT P. MOORE Representatives from the FAA and JFK Airport assured residents and local government ofﬁcials action was being taken to try and alleviate air trafﬁc noise at a Monday evening meeting of the Town-Village Aircraft Safety and Noise Abatement Committee (TVASNAC) in Lawrence Village Hall.

“This is not a rehash of the previous meeting,” noted TVASNAC executive director Kendall Lampkin, calling the meeting a “part two” instead. He clarified TVASNAC was not a lobbying group, but rather a sounding board for both residents and officials to discuss solutions. “We reemphasized what the criteria for runway selection are,” noted David Siewart, Air Traffic Manager at the JFK Air

Inwood resident Nancy Manara thought it was “the end of the world” when planes were taking off continuously over her home.

He said surveys were being taken to make sure that officials follow the standards and procedures in place to keep noise levels down.

Center on the path to ﬁscal recovery, an organized closure may be the only option,” they said. Neighboring hospital, St, John’s Episcopal is preparing in the event that Peninsula does close. “We are very saddened and concerned by Peninsula’s situation,” said Nelson Toebbe, CEO of St. John’s in a statement. “Peninsula has been a valuable resource to this community for decades. We have been aware for some time of the ﬁnancial challenges Peninsula faces and we have both short-term and long-term plans in place to care for Peninsula patients who wish to use our services.” In preparation, St. John’s said in a statement that once the state approves their expansion plans, they will start increasing the capacity of the emergency room, ambulatory care, surgery, intensive care and in-patient facilities, Toebbe said. St. Johns may also hire Peninsula employees if Peninsula closes. They number of employees hired will vary, but it could be 250 employees, nursing staff in particular. “We will do our best to be

Trinity-St. John’s Episcopal Church, a parish with an unmistakeable landmark house of worship on Broadway in Hewlett, recently celebrated its 175th anniversary. “We are acknowledging the legacy given to us,” said Reverend Owen Thompson, Rector of the parish for the last six years. “We are looking, not only at the past, but the present and the future.” Thompson said the anniversary was signiﬁcant for his con-

gregation especially due to the changes in both the demographics of the local area, especially with many churches closing, and how people perceive God in their everyday lives. “We are here to stay… and there’s much we want to continue to do for the next 175 years.” Trinity Church was founded on May 3rd, 1836 as Trinity Chapel, a mission of St. George’s Church in Hempstead. The chapel itself would be erected and completed a year later on May 8th when it was consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese of New

York. The chapel, moved 100 feet north of its original location during the 1870’s to make room for the current church, now serves as the home of Trinity Church’s ofﬁces, school, and social events. The chapel would separate from St. George’s in 1844 and be called Trinity Church, Rockaway. In May 1878, the current church building would open its doors for the growing population of the area. In 1978, Trinity Church would merge with Far Rockaway’s St. John’s Church to form Trinity-St. John’s Church, due to decreased attendance and ﬁnan-

His stepfather, Cameron Wood, is the one of the country club’s pros on staff. “He takes me out here sometimes and gives me lessons.

A Day in the Life of a Local Golf Caddy

A golf ball rests on the green no less than five feet from the hole, on a barely noticeable hill which is tormenting its owner from putting it in its final resting place. Jimmy Margiotta, a food services business owner from Long Beach, is crouched down staring at the slight incline, using his putter for leverage. A slight frown appeared on his face before he stands up. “Jon!” he called out. “What do you think? Slightly uphill, right?” A young man donning a green pull-over vest atop a white polo and khaki shorts jogs over from where he was holding the hole’s flag marker and crouches down where Margiotta had been a moment before. He observes it and squints for a moment as the sun bakes the course. “Oh yeah,” says Jon Sable, his golf caddy for the day, with a quick smile and light pat to Marigotta’s back. Sable is a 22 year old graduate student at Manhattanville College and has been a golf caddy at Inwood Country Club for six years. “That’s just a

ur vests, and oversized sweaters in brick reds, blacks, and jewel tones are just some of the trends that fashion-forward female Five Towners will be wearing this season. Fur seems to reign as the top trend among local stores like Lonny’s, Flirt, and Sheryl David. Contrary to popular belief, however, fur doesn’t have to be a splurge; faux-fur capelets and vests are practical, chic, and versatile. Using accessories like a waist-cinching belt or layering a sweater underneath makes it flattering for nearly everyone. When it comes to showing skin, less is more, but off-the-shoulder tops and dresses with open-backs will add a touch of allure without giving too much away. Fitted cardigans have been traded in for chunky sweaters, leaving prim and proper styles in the past for a more relaxed and bohemian look. Leggings and a good pair of jeans are fundamental, but options like leather leggings and flared jeans create more interesting looks. Corduroys are an emerging trend rising in popularity, and some buyers, like at Lonny’s, swear that the impeccable fit make it a must-have.

In the world of dresses and flirty casual wear, black is back, lace is in, and fur is taking over. “Start with a little fur vest, layered with a bulky sweater, and finish it with a belt,” advised buyer and stylist, Maria Danca. To transition a summer piece into fall, like a long and whimsical maxi skirt, pair it with a sweater or leather jacket, Danca said. Emeralds, sapphires, and deep purples are this season’s go-to colors. The jewel tones and a touch of sequins or beads are just the right amount of glitz, according to Danca. “No matter what figure you have, a safe dress is a beaded dress because it’s forgiving of figure flaws.” As far as lengths and cuts go, Danca noted that a micro-mini only really works for beaded dress, but a dress hitting right above the knee is sophisticated and classic. High necklines and open backs in dresses add flair without going too over the top, Danca said. The average price of tops and dresses are $98-$398. “Buy the navy or black dress, or a beautiful silk top,” Danca added. “They last. Invest in classic pieces and add trend with an accessory.” Flirt was opened a little over a year ago by owner, Carla Haynes. Danca is previously the owner of The Strapless Dress boutique in Lynbrook. “Flirt is a place you come for a special occasion, for a birthdress,” Danca said. day dress, party dress, date dress, “It’s a more going out look.

Hewlett’s Jermey Leguillow gets great blocking on a run up the middle. Lawrence seemed more than eager to put the nails in the cofﬁn as Tyler Fredericks rushed 56 yards down the ﬁeld on the team’s next possession for another touchdown, giving the Golden Tornadoes a 26-10 lead, followed by a two-point conversion from Lawrence sophomore quarterback Joe Capobianco to freshman wide receiver Jordan Fredericks, Ryan and Tyler’s brother, for a 28-10 lead. Hewlett turned the ball over on downs in four plays and the Golden Tornadoes took advantage. Capobianco threw 35 yards to wide receiver Eddie Robinson for another touchdown. The extra point kick was good and Lawrence went up 35-10. The Bulldogs refused to go down quietly and mounted a huge comeback. On their next possession, Leguillow rushed two yards into the end zone to bring the team within 18 points at 35-17. An onside kick gave Hewlett the ball back and the Bulldogs capitalized with quarterback Zach Richman throwing to wide receiver Sam Grill for an 11-yard touchdown pass. A faked

extra point kick turned into two more points as Grill ran the ball into the end zone to tighten the lead to 35-25 at half time. After the teams came back on the field in the third quarter, Hewlett continued to pick up steam. Two plays into Lawrence’s possession, Capobianco was picked off giving Hewlett the ball deep in their own zone. The possession produced no points, but the shock and anger was evident on the Lawrence bench. On the Bulldogs next possession, Richman found wide receiver Sam Martorella for 16 yards and another touchdown. The Bulldogs closed the gap to three points at 35-32. The tight score seemed to wake up the beast in the Lawrence offense, however. Tyler Fredericks rushed 72 yards down the field into the end zone for a touchdown, his third of the day, and putting the Golden Tornadoes up 42-32. The Lawrence defense, seemingly missing in the second quarter, prevented the Bulldogs from getting a first down on their next possession and quickly got the ball back to the offense.

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes ended the Hewlett Bulldogs’ season after defeating them 62-32 in the first round of the Conference III playoffs at Lawrence High School on Saturday afternoon. Hewlett received the ball first and things looked promising on the team’s first drive down the field that took the Bulldogs 87 yards over 11 plays, but the Lawrence defense prevented Hewlett from reaching the end zone. The Bulldogs were forced to go for the field goal which put the team up 3-0. Lawrence struck right back on their first possession with senior runningback Ryan Fredericks rushing four yards for his first touchdown of the day and a 7-3 Golden Tornadoes lead in the first quarter. Ryan’s brother, junior runningback Tyler Fredericks, also added another touchdown in the opening minutes of the second quarter to give Lawrence a 14-3 lead. Two plays into Hewlett’s first possession of the second quarter, Lawrence defender Mike Fragner intercepted the ball and ran it over 30 yards to the Hewlett 11yard line. Two plays later, Ryan Fredericks rumbled through the Hewlett defensive line and barely into the end zone for another touchdown, giving Lawrence a 20-3 lead. Hewlett, down 17, was not finished though. On the Bulldogs’ next possession, the offense pushed down the field 55 yards before Jeremy Leguillow rushed nine yards into the end zone, bringing Hewlett back within ten at 20-10.

Towns rival Hewlett in the ﬁrst round of the Conference III playoffs. “The same broken record – we’re tough offensively and hard to stop,” said Martillotti. “As long as we have the ball though, it’s really hard to stop us.” The Bulldogs struggled throughout most of the game trying to ﬁnd a way to stop the Golden Tornadoes. Runningback brothers Ryan and Tyler Fredericks showed off why they had a reason to be feared, each scoring four touchdowns during the game accounting for over third-quarters of the team’s points on those plays. “No matter what they did today, we were still throwing the ball, running

he mood during the “Five Towns Bowl II” – Hewlett-Lawrence matchup – at Lawrence High School dramatically changed during the second quarter – the normally loud and rabid Golden Tornado fan base were stuck in a stunned silence as they watched the team’s 25-point lead slip away during the second quarter as the defense allowed three touchdowns to score. “Defensively there during the second quarter, we had a little bit of a brain fart,” said Coach Joe Martillotti. The team gave up the majority of its lead during the ﬁnal eight minutes of the second quarter. “They had a couple of big plays on us and that on-side kick.” During the Hewlett comeback, the only sounds from Lawrence’s fans, coaches and some players was to referees as six ﬂags came out for penalties, most against the Golden Tornadoes. Heading into half time, the mood was eerie – the players looked a little shocked and the fans, while applauding, could

the ball,” Martillotti said. “We’re just talented on all fronts.” It was the starting defense though, which had shined in the team’s previous three games by not allowing a single point, that gave up the lead. “It is what it is,” he said, shrugging. “It’s a matter of time though because when we get the ball, we’re going to score.” Notes: QB Joe Capobianco was 9 for 15 on passes during the game, throwing for one touchdown and one interception... Ryan Fredericks scored four touchdowns in the game, giving him thirteen straight games with a touchdown since last season... 62 points was a new season high for Lawrence’s offense, but the 32 points given up was the most in four games as well... wide receiver Eddie Robinson had one of his best days of the year with two receptions and one touchdown as well as two fumble recoveries on defense.

ewlett Bulldogs Varsity Football saw its season come to an end on Saturday when they fell to the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes in the second slugfest between the two teams this season. Hewlett got back into the game when, down 35-10 in the second quarter, they scored 22 straight points to make it a three point game. That was all she wrote for the Bulldogs though, as Lawrence dashed their hopes by stepping up defensively and scoring 27 un-

answered points of their own to win 62-32. “We fought hard,” Starting Running Back Jeremy Leguillow said. “It’s just that we couldn’t ﬁnish in the second half. They are a very good team, but I feel like we should have won. They came back hard and we didn’t know what to do. We didn’t regroup the way we wanted to, but it was a good game.” Leguillow scored two rushing touchdowns in the game for Hewlett. “I’m just so happy that I got to play on Varsity this year,” Leguillow said. “All of the seniors are

like crying right now. They wish we had this game back, but it was a great experience and a great season.” After the game, Hewlett Head Coach Jay Iaquinta was not pleased with the result, but was happy about his team’s performance. “We are real proud of our kids,” Iaquinta said. “All we asked them to do is give us effort for the full 48 minutes. We’re thrilled with the effort they gave us. We had a lot of adversity. We had some injuries and a lot of things to deal with. These kids persevered all the way through and never stopped ﬁghting.

ally good football team. We probably had to score one more time in the third quarter. We didn’t and that gave them an opportunity to score. It kind of got away from us.” Iaquinta is looking forward to next season now and is excited about some of his breakout players making strides next year. “We have some good kids coming back in Richman and Leguillow plus some good kids at the end,” Iaquinta said. “We’re a grunt team. We have to work hard and we have to make up for deﬁciencies with hard work in the off-season.”

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Dude, Where’s My Car? CONTINUED FROM P. A6 ple of friends and spoke to one on the phone. We discussed running a half marathon together. “People reassured me throughout my training that if I ran 10 miles, I could run 13,” I told him, and I said it was true. “You know what isn’t true?” I said. “It’s not true that if you run 13.1 miles after being able to run 10, that you will be able to find your car when it is all over.” The Long Island Marathon does not start and finish in the same location. I parked near the start, not realizing that was an incredibly foolish move. I also did not realize that there would be no signage directing runners to various parking areas once they completed the course. In addition, I had not predicted that every Nassau County Parks and Recreation staff member that I’d ask for directions would either not be able to help me or would send me in the wrong direction. Had I known any of this before the event, I would certainly have handled things differently. Not only does the race start and finish in different areas, but on opposite sides of the highway as well. The race begins near Nassau Coliseum and ends in Eisenhower Park. Here’s something else I did not know before this run: there are 930 acres of lush grounds in that

park, all of which I seemed to cover as I searched for my car. And just to clarify: the problem was not that I did not know where I had parked my car. I knew it was at Nassau Community College (NCC). The problem, however, was finding NCC from where I was. Like a living, breathing Seinfeld episode, I walked and walked and walked, enjoying the irony that after completing this run, the greatest challenge was just getting back to my vehicle. I even posted it on Facebook as I continued on, always inviting others to enjoy the craziness that is my life. I even called my husband and asked him to find me on a map and tell me where to go. He offered to come and pick me up. I told him that was ridiculous – but so was walking for an eternity after running 13.1 miles. I was not the only one in this boat. A number of runners asked me for directions (more irony), though I could not help them and certainly did not know the way. They went one way, I went another. I finally found someone driving through the park in an official Nassau County vehicle. “How do I get to Nassau Community College?” I asked him. “You’re going in the right direction,” he said, and pointed straight ahead. “See that?” he asked, motioning to the traffic light in the distance. “That’s

New in Movies Wednesday, May 16 The Dictator: Rated R. Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen returns for the leading role in his fourth feature ﬁlm The Dictator. Cohen, who also co-wrote the movie, re-teams with director Larry Charles who previously directed Cohen’s mockumentaries Borat and Bruno, in this satirical tale of an oppressive, democracy-hating dictator and his journey to America. Cohen stars as Admiral General Aladeen, a North African dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come back to the country he so lovingly oppressed. Aladeen pretty much does whatever he pleases, including riding an elephant in the streets of New York City and winning the 100M race at his country’s Wadiyan games (with a little help from a handgun). Upon arriving in America, Aladeen’s misadventures lead to a series of out-

Hempstead Turnpike.” I must have looked confused, so he tried another approach. “You know where the ‘Hooters’ is on Hempstead Turnpike?” he asked me. That was a good one, I thought. “Do I know where the HOOTERS is on Hempstead Turnpike?” I replied incredulously. “Um, no.” I wondered if he had another landmark to give me, but instead just told me to get there and make a left, and I ﬁnally did. After proceeding down Hempstead Turnpike for about ten minutes, with no one else from the race heading in the same direction, I knew something was wrong. The next person I asked for directions looked aghast when I said I needed to walk to NCC. “That is really far,” she said, then added, “and in the other direction. “ Promising she was not crazy, she offered me a ride to the college which I politely declined. I decided that all of the walking must count as a good post-run stretch, so off I went. Forty minutes later I arrived at my car, having walked a total of 90 minutes from beginning to end. Who could have predicted that running 13.1 miles would have been the least challenging part of my morning. Actually, I should have known that would happen because this is just par for my course. For me, it was just another walk in the park.

Friday, May 18 Battleship: Rated PG-13. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) is a talented but undisciplined slacker. His brother Stone (Alexander Skarsgard), a naval Commander, forces Hopper to join the Navy where he becomes a lieutenant on the USS John Paul Jones DDG-53, a sister ship to his brother’s command. During the Rim of the Paciﬁc Exercise, the world’s largest international maritime exercise, Hopper gets into a brawl with a captain of the Japanese Maritime Defense Force, and learns that he will soon be kicked out of the navy for his acts. Meanwhile, a small group of alien ships arrive in the waters near Hawaii where they erect a massive forceﬁeld around the islands, trapping a number of Earth’s warships, including Hopper’s ship. The aliens attack, and Hoppers superiors are killed, leaving him in command of the John Paul Jones. The aliens then use NASA signals to send messages back to their home planet, making a larger invasion imminent. It is now up to Hopper and his maritime team to save Planet Earth from alien destruction.

HAFTR and Science Go Hand in Hand

AFTR High School students recently received many awards at two independent science fairs. The results from Long Island Science Congress’ Junior Division and the HAFTR High School Science, Math & Engineering Fair were announced on April 30. This year, seven groups consisting of 21 ninth-grade students participated in the Junior Division of the Long Island Science Congress, with students winning ﬁve achievement awards, six meritorious awards, and two honorable mentions. In addition, seven students received higher level awards: Max Lent, who tested for left-right bias; Rachel Gelnick, Gabby Schwartz, and Katie Glickman, who explored the presence of bacteria in water from different sources; and Yonina Keschner, Alexandra Seelenfreund, and Daniella Seelenfreund, who investigat-

ed how the amount of living space affects the population growth of guppies. These students have been invited to accept their LISC awards at a special ceremony at The Wheatley School in Old Westbury on Tuesday, May 22.

HAFTR Students Celebrate Major Israeli Holidays, Have College Fair and Start “Academic Integrity.”

By Nicole Wengrofsky

ince returning to school from our Passover vacation, HAFTR students ﬁnd ourselves immersed in our work and preparations for upcoming SATs, ACTs, and AP exams. However, we still took the time to recognize the signiﬁcance of events such as Yom Hashoah, Yom

Ha’atzmaut, and Yom Hazikaron, and are had several programs in which all students were involved. On April 18th our entire student body had the privilege of hearing a ﬁrst-hand account of the Holocaust from Mr. Harry Engelman, a survivor and HAFTR grandparent. His story was extremely moving and helped set the tone for Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Nicole Wengrofsky is a 16 year-old HAFTR student. She’s involved in activities such as model United Nations, the school paper, HAFTR Tattler, iShine, the volleyball team, and book club. She enjoys reading and playing volleyball in her spare time and has two very different career interests; writing, and interior design.

He reminded us that he was not only here speaking to us in order to tell his own story, but to represent those who perished and are not here today to share their own stories. On April 25th an assembly was held in honor of Israel Memorial Day, or, Yom Hazikaron, in order to commemorate those Israeli soldiers who sacriﬁced their lives in order to defend our Jewish Homeland, the State of Israel. Mr. Tuvia Book along with a selected group of students presented a truly meaningful program for both students and faculty. The following day, students celebrated Israeli Independence Day or, Yom Ha’Atzmaut with a delicious bar-

beque. On the night of April 23rd, the annual College Fair for HAFTR juniors and their parents took place, something that I personally found quite exciting. Representatives from various colleges attended including Barnard College, New York University, Brandeis University, Cooper Union, and Columbia University, just to name some. Students and parents had the opportunity to ask questions and learn directly from college admissions counselors about the college application process. This program made the entire college application process very real for me, as I am sure it did for the rest of my peers. We had our ﬁrst

chance to see which type of college is our best ﬁt and allowed us to foresee which type of college education we would like to pursue. Recently, a program was launched in HAFTR known as “Academic Integrity Week,” to facilitate discussions regarding the consequences of cheating. Throughout the week, teachers and faculty members met with students in an effort to discourage cheating inside as well as outside of school. Humorous stories about outrageous cheating scandals were posted throughout the school to raise awareness about the issue. One in particular that I enjoyed was about Henry Ford,

who while at Yale paid another student to write a paper for him. The teacher confronted Henry about this, and although Henry attempted to deny the accusation, when his professor opened up the paper and the other student’s bill for writing the essay fell out, he had to admit to his cheating. Through these stories, activities, and discussions teachers were able to illustrate the detrimental effects cheating can have on ones reputation and morals. It is hard to believe that the school year is coming to a close next month. Nonetheless, we all continue to work hard to ensure a successful and meaningful ending to another school year.

HEWLETT HAPPENINGS

Hewlett Students Stage Cabaret Night for Kids with Cancer; Seniors Learn Job Interview and Time Management Skills By Cherie Luo

pril showers bring May ﬂowers. I remember learning this clichéd chant in second grade and since then it has always stuck to me. Plagued by constant sneezing during allergy season, I am one of the many people who are dependent on rain showers to wash away the asphyxiating pollen in the air that is especially overwhelming during the month of April. With few rain showers

that month, however, those affected by allergies were forced into battle, armed with nasal spray and Claritin. Although the war against allergies was ongoing, the various entertaining events in Hewlett were a nice reminder as to why the month of April was enjoyed by so many. On April 21st, the annual Cabaret Night was held at Hewlett High School. A night brimming with brilliant vocal performances, talented dance routines and hilarious comedy skits, Caba-

Cherie Luo is currently a junior at Hewlett High School. She is a member of the Steering Committee for District 14’s Youth Leadership Forum, the Executive Board of Mock Trial, the Cabaret Night Business Staff, and is a contributor to the HHS newspaper, Spectrum. She also dives competitively for the Hewlett Swimming/Diving Team and pole vaults for the Track Team.

ret Night 2012 was truly remarkable. Starting in September, the business staff and cast of Cabaret Night work all year to create a fun show for students, family, teachers and community members to enjoy. Cabaret Night was ﬁrst created by the Rosenberg family in memory of Laura Rosenberg who had passed away due to pediatric cancer. Since then, Cabaret Night has raised thousands of dollars and donated it Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Pediatric Cancer Research. Every year I look forward to Cabaret Night, especially the celebrated comedy sketch which features a hysterical teacher skit where students poke fun at teachers and administrators for their idiosyncrasies and quirks. After the show on the 21st, the entire cast of Cabaret Night along with the business staff

chairmen, visited Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and performed for children dealing with cancer. Cabaret Night not only created laughter and cheers in Hewlett but also at Sloan Kettering. On April 23rd, third quarter report cards were mailed home. Probably the most hated time of the year, grumbles of third quarter grades were heard in the halls of Hewlett High School. While the other quarters are essentially the same length, students complain that third quarter has the least amount of days, and therefore give students less time do well because there are generally less tests administered. Perhaps the moaning complains of this wretched third quarter are the result of students’ high stress level with AP testing around the corner and ﬁnals and regents

around the next corner. On April 26th, Hewlett High School’s Interview Day was held at the school library. As a part of the graduation requirement, students must take the mandatory class, Computer Tech and Careers (CTC). As part of the class, an Interview Day is held twice a year to help give students the experience of a real job interview. Prior to Interview Day, students in CTC create a resume and learn the proper etiquette of an interview. On the 26th, administrators and community members are invited to Hewlett to be the “employer” in a mock interview. While some of the interviews can take up to 45 minutes, each interview is generally 15 minutes and consists of the “employer” asking questions and prompting students to think on their feet.

On the last day of the month, April 30th, students of Hewlett attended an assembly dealing with time management. Keynote speaker Dan Faggella, was invited to Hewlett High School and gave a presentation on the importance of time management and ways in which students can better use their time. With distractions buzzing around us, students sometimes drag out assignments and waste time. Mr. Faggella advised students to keep on task by setting aside blocks of time entirely devoted to work, to create a calendar of all upcoming events and to keep our goals in mind in our everyday life. In fact, this presentation did have a positive effect, because the period after, I created a Google Calendar to better organize my upcoming tests and events for the month of May.
