YOUR FIVE TOWNS HOMETOWN PAPER

The Jewish Community Center of the Five Towns, a bidder for Lawrence’s Number Six School, announced this week in an advertisement that is running in six local papers that they have signed and submitted a contract to buy the property. The advertisement reads “the JCC is excited to announce that we have signed and submitted a contract to the Lawrence School Board to purchase the #6 Public School on Church Avenue in Woodmere.” This advertisement follows a two-month old debate on the bidding process, where it is unclear if the process was supposed to be open or sealed, meaning whomever bid for the property is kept confidential. Two months ago, the JCC placed a bid of approximately $9.1 million. Shortly after, The Hebrew Academy of Long Beach reportedly made an offer of about $150,000 more. There has been speculation that because most members of the

Lawrence School Board have children who have attended HALB or been honored there themselves, that HALB was tipped off on the bid. Now the JCC is announcing that they have moved forward with their bid and have submitted a contract for the Number Six School. Rabbi Nahum Marcus, Lawrence School Board Trustee, said that the JCC can’t go forward with a contract because it has to go to the public first. “They can’t sign a contract to purchase it because it’s got to go to the community first,” Marcus said. The board picks the bidder and then the sale goes to a public referendum where residents can approve or deny the sale. Marcus said that he suggested to the board giving the public the option of picking between the HALB or JCC bid because the price of the bids are so close. As of press time, there has been no public referendum regarding the sale of the property.

“We should always remember, no matter what other pursuits we follow that our lives should be about helping our brothers and sisters and doing our share to sustain Israel,” salutatorian Malka Katz said in her speech during the Stella K.

The Lawrence School Board has been riddled with controversy since the bidding on Lawrence’s Number Six School in April when a board member accused fellow members of conflicts of interest and insider trading during the bidding process. Lawrence School Board Trustee Rabbi Nahum Marcus claims he has been ostracized from the board, while still officially

LOCAL LEADERS RECALL MEMORIES OF THEIR FATHERS Dr. Gary Schall, Superintendent of the Lawrence Union Free School District When Lawrence School District Superintendent Gary Schall was eight years old, in March of 1963, the fifth boy in his family was born. That same year, in July, Schall’s father’s business burned down, and in August his father went blind. “So, in September, we were a family of five boys and my father was out of work and disabled,” Schall recalls. “Watching him deal with that adversity in his life has had a deeply profound impact on me and how I view life,” Schall said. “He always had a positive attitude, you would never know he was going through challenges.” Schall said his father, Jerry Schall, was born in Brooklyn and had his own successful business in the women’s eveningwear industry until the fire demolished the building and, in turn, the business itself. The business went under, Schall said, and his father had to go on disability. His father then went for training to learn how to get around on the New York City subways; he travelled around while blind. “He learned how to function as a blind person

“He kept a positive attitude his whole life,” Schall said about his father. “He really overcame all these challenges. As I look at life and look at any challenges that might come my way, I look at my father’s attitude and it really gets me through my days.” Schall, who is the third son in his family, was married in June of 1980. His father passed away not too long after that, in September, the same year his youngest son went off to college. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him,” Schall said. “I tell people I put my key into the door to the school every morning and I look up and I know he’s watching.” Schall said his father has served as a constant inspiration in his life. “People tend to say I have a positive attitude,” he said. “It’s easy for me to have a positive attitude. It was much more of a challenge for my father and he always managed to stay positive.”

a vote of 127 to 15. Voted Yes on A10392: Amends the current education law in relation to required attendances. The law now has an added section that reads “The Board of Education or Trustees shall determine whether school session should not be held at an individual public school, or district-wide, on a day where if school were in session, absenteeism may result in the waste of educational resources because a considerable proportion of the student population is unlikely to attend because of a religious or cultural day of observance. Bill passed by a vote of 139 to 3.

Sources from the JCC said that they decided to run the advertisement to let the community know that the bid for the school is in. “We feel this community deserves a full service JCC and we are hoping the community will support us.” The advertisement asks for community members to show their support of the JCC’s actions by sending them an email. According to David Sussman, Lawrence School Board Trustee and Republican candidate for New York State Assembly, “the board has signed no contract with anyone” that he is aware of. “I certainly have not voted on giving anyone a contract and I’m unaware of any meeting they can place without me being there, I can’t imagine how they have a contract,” Sussman said.

Albert D’Agostino, attorney for the School Board, said “the district has not bound itself to any contract.” According to D’Agostino, the board is “nowhere near” selecting a purchaser for the property. Executive Director of HALB Richard Hagler said he is aware of JCC’s advertisement and “as of right now, the Hebrew Academy has not submitted a contract.” Hagler said the School Board sent a letter through the broker in charge of the sale that asked HALB, if interested in the contract, to sign and return it at a price the school board decided. “As of right now, we have not submitted a contract,” Hagler said. “I will take instructions from the Board of the Hebrew Academy, they will tell me what to do.” Hagler said that it is pos-

In response to the advertisement, Hagler said “I don’t feel anything about it, they’re allowed to do what they want to do and I wish them the best of luck. If the JCC gets the property we’re very happy for them. The JCC is a very worthwhile community organization and they do good work.” According to Hagler, there have been more bids for the

property. “I understand there are more offers but I don’t know what they are or who they’re from. Greiner-Maltz, the commercial brokers for the property, could not be reached by press time to conﬁrm the existence of other bids. Sources from the JCC would not comment on any other aspect of the proceedings of the sale of the Number Six School. Dr. Asher Mansdorf, president of the Lawrence School Board, when called by The Standard, would not comment on the matter.

Weiss says he is passionate about restoring residents’ trust in government and is determined to demonstrate by example that government can be efﬁcient, effective and responsive. Trustees Kenneth Kornblau, Esq., and Thomas Cohen are both running for re-election for two-year terms. Cohen has been

The Village of Hewlett Harbor will hold its elections on June 19 at Village Hall on 499 Pepperidge Road in Hewlett Harbor.

Rissa Pollack, mother of graduating senior Kobi Pollack says that DRS is special to her son. “There’s a sense of pride in belonging to this school. It’s very special – the teachers, the rabbis, they are all very unique and they form a very special bond with the boys.” Proud grandparent Daniel Mehlman was spotted in the front row cheering on Yonaton Mehlman who attained the high-

est honor at the school– valedictorian. “He’s kind, he’s good, and it gives me a great sense of pride that my grandson reached that pedestal in life” he says. As the ceremony came to a close Rabbi Eli Brazil asked the seniors to face their families and give them a round of applause for all their support in their years at Davis Renov Stahler. Before the rabbi could ﬁnish his statement the boys had already begun to clap. After giving recognition to the people who have inspired them most in their lives the boys tossed up their green graduation caps as a symbol for change and new beginnings.

The 30 graduates composed themselves on the auditorium’s stage, decked out in blue caps and gowns while listening to comforting remarks and words of advice from a range of adults and themselves. Headmaster Alan Bernstein encouraged students in his opening remarks to “think beyond the mundane” and to “make connections often and with passion, the world will be better for it.” Following Headmaster Bernstein was Peter Boneparth, president of the Board of Trustees, who told students to “go for it, you are equipped to go for it.” Commencement speaker Robin Wagner, ﬁgure skating coach

for Olympians Sarah Hughes and Sasha Cohen, graduated from LWA in 1975. To the students she said, “trust your instincts, take a breath, don’t rush and take your time. You are going to be ﬁne and even better than that, you are going to excel.” Valedictorian Dylan Phelan described leaving LWA as “breathtaking.” “I’ve built personal relationships and lifelong friends. Leaving it behind is a bit nervewracking but exciting. The school has equipped us with experience needed to prosper in a world as diverse as ours.” In his speech, Phelan inspired his fellow graduates to “work to improve not only your state of living but the state of living of all those around you.” For new graduate Melissa Ellowitz, LWA has been a “second home and family for the past six years.”

Graduates Sarah Levy and Ilana Broytman received their diplomas from Lawrence Woodmere Academy last Friday, June 8. Photo by Deanna Del Ciello. It is with this family that the students from LWA “can be confident that we’ll never be truly lost.” Melody Pierre-Gilles had “feelings of melancholy and nostalgia” during the graduation ceremony. LWA was an “unforgettable journey” where she

“learned many life lessons that cannot be found in a book.” Parents were also feeling a wide range of emotions on LWA’s graduation day. “It’s a feeling of peacefulness, Abbie Kugler of Hewlett said about her daughter Andie’s grad-

This is the next stage. You need to trust in their abilities.” For Raeshon Parrish of Queens, her son Trent’s graduation was “just wonderful.” LWA was a “great experience and great school.”

Headmaster Bernstein reminded the students to “take good care, be safe and stay in touch” before they tossed their blue graduation caps into the sky while standing on the steps just outside of the auditorium, never to return as a student of the academy again.

16th Senior Class Graduates SKA CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Abraham School for Girls graduation ceremony on Sunday. The ceremony was marked by a class of graduating seniors who have done so much throughout their four years at the school. The ceremony was held in the gym of the Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys in Woodmere. Mrs. Helen Spirn, principal of SKA, said she was honored to award the 75 new diplomas at the graduation. “You are all individuals who need to hear your own trumpet sound,” she said to the girls. “Remember, each of you has your own trajectory, your own unique chemistry, your own mission, your own talents. Each of you is your own person,” she said. Spirn went on to talk about the school’s senior night, where each girl was spoken about, fo-

cusing on their own unique traits. This is the 16th graduating class that has been educated through SKA. Spirn spoke about the remarkable accomplishments of their graduating class, including putting together certain programs like the school’s Traditions program. “It is your grade that provided leadership Malka Katz, Rikki Grosz and Sarah Katz, all from for almost every pro- Lawrence, at their graduation from SKA. gram we run at SKA,” Photo by Amanda Mayo. she said.

he thought the ceremony was amazing. “There was such happiness in seeing how my daughter grew throughout the years at SKA,” he said. Many of SKA’s graduating seniors will be attending school in Israel in the fall before coming back to the United States to

attend American universities. The girls were accepted to many prestigious schools including Stern College, Adelphi University, Queens College, the University of Maryland, the University of Chicago, Long Island University, New York University and Brandeis University.

Local Leaders Recall Memories Of Their Fathers CONTINUED FROM P. A1 cent study about the influence of fathers on their children. Bisso said her father has been a remarkable source of inspiration throughout her quest as an educator. Bisso’s father, Salvatore Michael Marchetta, was born in 1905 as one of nine children to an immigrant family from Sicily. His family settled in Brooklyn where his father was a barber. “My dad did not finish elementary school, he left elementary school in the sixth grade and did so because he needed to help the family out in delivering bread,” Bisso said. “He was a man of exceptional personal integrity and his moral code was very high.” Bisso said her father lived through the Great Depression and became part of the New York City Police Force as an officer in the 1930s. She said he was a dedicated civil servant his whole life. “Before the days of the transit police, the regular police would take care of some pretty awful things, accidents on the train

tracks and things like that,” Bisso said. “He was on the emergency squad and probably saw a great many troubling things but he never brought it home. He gave us his full attention when he was home.” Bisso said her father was an honest man, who never owned a credit card and barely wrote checks. “He really believed that if you couldn’t pay for it in cash you couldn’t buy it,” she said. She talked about how he always provided for his family and loved the police force he worked for so much that he even wanted all of his children to be police ofﬁcers. “I have a profound respect for the uniform because he wore it so proudly,” Bisso said. “I like to think I live my life by the standard he has set.” She added that even though her father was very proud of her wanting to become an educator, he still pushed her to take the test to be a cop. Bisso said her father also placed educators in the context of a civil servant position, like his own career on the police force, and he was extremely supportive and proud of her

calling in life to work as a professional educator. “He really felt that the work of a professional educator was very powerful and meaningful work,” she said. In Bisso’s dissertation study from 2004, she acknowledged her father, who taught her the value of honest work and pride in accomplishment. “He gave me the gift of an education and grounded me in the possibilities of persistence, hard work and integrity,” the dissertation says.

-- Amanda Mayo Father Eric Fasano, Resident Priest at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Inwood “I can summarize an important part of my relationship with my father by quoting a line from the ﬁlm ‘The Godfather’, which we both enjoy,” Father Fasano, resident priest at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Inwood, said. “Michael Corleone, upon taking control of the family, said, ‘If I ever need advice, who is a better consigliere than

my father?’” Father Fasano went on to say that the love his father and mother share was the first school of love that influenced him as a child. “He has always supported my calling to the priesthood and continues to be one of the greatest sources of sound adice and loving encouragement in my life,” he said. Father Fasano was ordained as a priest in June of 2002 for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. After serving St. William the Abbot Church in Seaford for six years, he was asked by Bishop Murphy to begin studies in Rome for a License in Canon Law (the internal legal code for the Catholic Church). “Having finished my license in June of 2011, I now serve as a Judge on our Diocesan Tribunal (court) in addition to my connection to Our Lady of Good Counsel,” he said.

Marcus Claims Bd. Is Trying To Force Him Out Of Office CONTINUED FROM P.

All they did was send an email. I showed up an hour later, when I was supposed to and the meeting was already over.” Marcus said he spoke to Trustee David Sussman, Republican candidate for New York State Assembly, when he arrived. According to Marcus, Sussman said nothing important happened at the meeting but that there was an executive session.

“I don’t know if it’s true, I haven’t seen anything official,” Marcus said. Marcus believes that the board discussed during the executive session the hiring of an outside attorney to remove him for the board for what he told The Standard in April. Dr. Asher Mansdorf, president of the School Board, told The Standard he does not discuss what goes on in executive session and would not comment on the matter. Sussman confirmed that the meeting time and venue was changed. “I got an email as I believe did everybody else. I can’t comment further than the fact that I received an email.” Sussman also confirmed that he spoke with Marcus after the meeting and that Marcus told him his computer was broken at the time.

Wildcats Ground Hawks, Going to NY Yeshiva Championships By Natalia Kozikowska The DRS Wildcats swept the HAFTR Hawks 4-0 last Friday to advance to the Yeshiva League Championship game. The Wilddcats started their game strongg with two runs in the first inning. g. From there on in, the fate off the Wildcats was in star pitcherr Yitzy Schwalb’s hands. Schwalb b did not disappoint, giving up no o walks or easy pitches to HAFTR. Tensions were running high h as the two Five Towns teamss went head to head. DRS came e in strong with two runs in the e top of the first. Second baseman n Eitan Dechter and right field-er Yitzchak Ginsberg each had a base hit, followed by a double by y Avrumi Blisko. Doron Youseflaleh h knocked a single shortly after, alllowing Ginsberg to score the firstt run for DRS and allowing for Blissko to steal home for a 2-0 lead. In the second inning Hawk k pitcher Jason Schlessel gave e away three consecutive walkss to Yani Kadish, Dani Scheinman n and Yaakov Abittan leaving the e bases loaded. It was then that Eiitan Dechter slammed the ball farr into the outfield. Even though h this fly ball was caught by Hawk k outfielder Yitz Oppen, Kadish h tagged up to take the run and d jumped out for a 3-0 lead. It seemed as though thingss were looking up for the Hawkss when pitcher Schlessel had a powerful 1-2-3 inning in the top off the third, but this only held DRS S back for a short period of time. e. The Wildcats scored again in the e

fourth inning, on what HAFTR would say was a questionable call. Last week’s grand slam hitter, Daniel Ash, knocked a triple and Dani Schienman was at the plate again. Schienman had a close call base hit with two outs. HAFTR was outraged when the umpire did not retire Schienman at ﬁrst base. Their players could be

heard yelling their disapproval with the call. The umpire, however, stuck with her call that Schienman was safe. This base hit lifted the Wildcats to a 4-0 lead as Ash ran across home plate. HAFTR remained without any base hits for the ﬁrst three innings but got back into their rhythm by the fourth inning. The Hawks’ Yitz Openn broke the no-hit streak in

gle in the bottom of the fourth but the Wildcats defense and pitcher shut them out before they were able to score. The Hawks had some strong offensive plays in the fifth inning including a base hit by Austin Feit and a base hit by Adam Dahan, but Dani Schienman caught a fly ball in the outfield to shut out Hawk batter Benji Horowitz. The Hawks’ defense also picked up around the fifth inning but this effort may have come too late. Although DRS was unable to score for the rest of the game their runs in the first four innings secured their victory. DRS coach Larry Gross was all smiles after the Wildcats’ victory over HAFTR. “I think we pitched well and that’s 90 percent of the battle” he says. “When you don’t walk anybody and you don’t give up any hits it is a good recipe for winning.” Gross is most thrilled for his team who just landed their fourth straight victory. “I’m just happy for the kids, that’s all. It’s a nice feeling and for the seniors it’s a good way to end up their year here.” Wildcat pitcher Yitzy Scwalb attributes a great game to his teammates but his focus is really on the championship game. “Its exciting, we have to go Brooklyn now” says Schwalb. “I heard

Shaare Torah is a good team but I think we have a good shot.” Schwalb is also excited to represent The Five Towns in the Yeshiva League Championship game this year. “I’m not from The Five Towns, but a lot of people on the team are so it should be fun” he adds. Schwalb is conﬁdent that his team will take home the title. “I think we’re going to win. I don’t even think its going to be close” he says. His conﬁdent statement was followed by loud cheers from his teammates. Despite the heartbreaking loss for HAFTR, coach Rabbi Ari Glasser is proud of all his team has accomplished. “You can’t be too upset about making the playoffs and being the number two seed” he says. “Though they feel like they could have done more I think they have nothing to be ashamed about, they had a great season.” Glasser agrees that his team just started to hit too late into the game. “The last three innings they had at least two guys on base but we just couldn’t get that magical hit we were looking for.” DRS (8-2) will be playing the undefeated Shaare Torah Stars this week on Monday at 3:30 p.m. at Brooklyn’s McDonald Playground located on McDonald Avenue between Avenue T and Avenue S. The two have never played against one another before this game.

Inwood Buccaneers Registering Players for First Practice on August 2nd By Natalia Kozikowska

he Inwood Buccaneers have been a breeding ground for NFL stars like Lyle Alzado, Vaughn Sanders and Louis D’Agustino. The local youth football program has had its door open to young boys with an interest in football for over 50 years making it one of the oldest and most historic members of the 16 Nassau County Football League teams. The program has thus expanded to incorporate other sports such as soccer, bas-

ketball and even cheerleading. It all started in 1956 on a warm sunny afternoon when a group of five boys were playing football. Without the knowledge of the boys, an onlooker, Billy Brightman, now the founder of the program, was watching them play. He walked over to the boys and simply asked, “How would you boys like to form a football team?” Thrilled, the five boys agreed and ran home to their parents to try and convince them to join the yet unborn organization. Fifty six years later those five

boys- Richard Sorrentino, Jim Fiero, Michael Dominici, Kevin Gravey and Frank DeBaise, are called the “Original Buccaneers” that started a legendary football team right here in The Five Towns. Frank DeCicco Jr., the football director of the summer program and a volunteer coach was a Buccaneer in 1977. The program has been a long running tradition in his family. His uncle was one of the original Buccaneers and his father has been involved with the organization since DeCicco

was. “My dad has been involved since ‘77 and is currently president of the organization” says DeCicco. “He hasn’t left.” DeCicco has been a coach off and on since he was 19 years old and now two of his children are also involved in the program. One of his fondest memories as a coach was when his son, then six, scored his ﬁrst touchdown. “That was unbelievable. He still talks about his ﬁrst touchdown” he says. “There is no better feeling in the world.” Indeed the Buccaneers football program prides itself on strong family values. Most of the volunteer coaches are parents of the children involved. Bobby Player coaches his son’s team. “Its such a family orient-

He says that coaching his son was one of the best experiences of his life. His sevenyear-old son agrees and says that he is proud to have his father as a coach.

In addition to tight father-son bonds within the program, DeCicco Jr. says he teaches his kids important values like sportsmanship. “It’s a rough sport but the fact is when I teach kids to tackle someone, I also teach them to pick them up” he says. “We also teach them how to lose the same way they win” he adds.

Player says he learned those values in his three years playing for the Buccaneers. “It doesn’t matter if you win or lose” he says. The Inwood Buccaneers charge $135 per child and $110 for any additional children. The fee includes the uniform, insurance, league fees, buses and trophies. DeCicco Jr. says that he would never turn

There are other ways to do it .We could sell raffles, work concession- there’s always something we can do.” The program’s teams are divided into ages groups between 6-13, with one team for each age, except 6’s who play with the 7’s. There are anywhere from 1822 kids on each team. Each age group has a weight limit that is strictly adhered to before each game. A 17 lb uniform and growth allowance is given for weigh-ins before the game. The Inwood Buccaneers’ first practice is on Thursday, August 2 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. From there on in practices will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m.– 11:00 a.m. Game schedules will not determined until after Labor Day but all home games and practices are held at Lawrence High School’s football field. The Buccaneers play four home games and four away games. The regular season ends around Thanksgiving but can last until December depending on whether the Buccaneers make the playoffs.

Vote

ne of the truly great things about the U.S. of A are the almost unlimited opportunities to exercise democracy that we enjoy. We are privileged to be able to vote on just about every level of authority in our lives be it school or library boards, town and county offices and of course state and national offices. This Tuesday we see hyper-local democracy in action as most of the villages in The Five Towns hold elections for Mayor, members of their Boards of Trustees and even Village Justices. While many of the races are uncontested, it is nevertheless important to come out and cast your ballots. No one should be elected by acclamation or worse, apathy. The many uncontested races are generally a testament to the good jobs many of our local officeholders are doing. It is far from glamorous to run a small village. These folks are giving of their time, energies and efforts to serve their friends and neighbors and for this they should be commended. Many local officeholders are leaders in business and the professions and their time is very valuable in the private sector. We all benefit when accomplished people volunteer to serve their communities. We do however urge more people to run for office because democracy is more dynamic and incumbents more accountable when challenged and as we’ve said time and again, elections ought to be consolidated into just once or twice a year. There is no reason to hold six elections in almost as many months – it tries the patience of even the most civic-minded residents.

Lord of the Flies

fter more than two inches of drenching rain on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week our flying nemeses have been given abundant opportunities to spawn, lay larvae and breed in large numbers. There is a high probability that many a Father’s Day barbeque will be assaulted by mosquitoes and horse flies this weekend. Our marshes have been replenished and puddles have been seen everywhere well into Thursday. We urge you to take defensive measures to protect you, your kids and your outdoor experience. Last issue we had a list of recommended counter measures, take a look online and do battle against these critters. It needs to be noted that Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner has been taking his hyper-local micro-management duties quite seriously to the point of involving himself in all manner of final solutions for the many mosquitoes and flies that beset his marsh-surrounded village, for this alone he earns the sobriquet of “Lord of the Flies” (we mean this in a positive way) and deserves another term in office just for his valiant forays jousting with these nefarious winged predators. All politics are local and Oliner knows the devil is in the anti-fly details.

Number Six School

he Five Towns JCC is engaged in a public relations campaign to try and persuade the District 15 School Board to sell them the now-vacant Number Six School in Woodmere. While there are conflicting reports as to whether a contract has been submitted or not, there is no doubt that the JCC wants to purchase the property. It has never been clarified whether the bidding process for the school was an open or closed affair. It did seem somewhat irregular a couple of months back that about an hour after the JCC submitted their $9 million-plus bid that HALB (Hebrew Academy of Long Beach) came in with a higher offer by a razor-slim margin of $150,000. Most of the School Board members refuse to be quoted on the record as to whether this was in fact an open or closed process – a matter that is of no small significance owing to the potential conflict of interest issues that arise from the fact that nearly all the board members either have or had kids in HALB or have been honored by the school in the past. If it was an open bidding process (and Board member Nachum Marcus says it was not) then there should have just been a public auction with everyone having the right to keep upping the ante. If it was closed, then board members should not have allegedly alerted HALB as to the JCC’s bid so they could top it if ever so slightly. We would sure like to see the minutes from the School Board’s meetings to determine the facts in the matter. Having said this, wouldn’t the public be better served by an open auction and/or letting the voters decide who should buy the facility? The people own the school property and the people should derive the most value from the sale of it. Value is monetary, certainly – but there are also other social imperatives at stake, to wit, which buyer would serve the most residents of District 15? If the bids are narrowly close as they are in this case ($150,000 is negligible when $9 million is on the table) then the public interest transcends just dollars and the people in a referendum ought to be able to exercise their democratic rights and choose who gets to own the Number Six School. This process needs to be made more transparent and accessible and the people should have a say not just on whether the property is to be sold but also to whom.

LIBERAL VOICE

Marijuana: Gateway to Hell? By Leonard Hoffman

ay marriage has been a high visibility news item these days. The news about President Obama “evolving” was the subject of controversy. Is it political? Is it timely? Does it make a difference? Coincidently, Mitt Romney had his past exposed from high school days in an extensive Washington Post article. The story about Romney leading a gang down the hall in high school to cut the hair of a gay classmate while he is crying and screaming on the floor was graphically detailed by four or five classmates. More troubling to me was the story about him walking a near blind professor into a closeddoor and laughing about it. Combining these stories with his denial (denying that he remembered them) I have arrived at one conclusion. Mitt Romney exhibits sociopathic behavior, or put another way he is a sociopath. As defined in the dictionary: 1. a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. This description of the former governor ties into many of the character traits he exhibited, famously the dog on the car but more famously the thousands of people thrown out of work by Bain Capital with no regard to leaving them jobless and the U.S. to pay their pension bills. Current sociopathic behavior includes support for the Republican-Ryan budget that will deprive hungry children

of meals to give greater tax cuts to the wealthy. It also includes his inability to tell the truth or even appear that it actually matters as much as raising money to outspend his rival. True to form, the right wing makes an attempt to ﬁnd similarly reprehensible behavior by Obama at the same approximate age. They seized upon his drug use which is out of character for a president while very much in character for a teenager. Let’s compare adolescent drug use to other forms of behavior. While hard-core drug use for long periods of time is antisocial behavior, short-term recreational use of marijuana takes place with about one in three or four adolescents. It is a victimless crime. There are more reports coming out in a new book that Barack Obama actually smoked a good deal of pot with his high school buddies. Probably, most parents who hear about it will ﬁnd it disturbingly excessive, particularly because they will hear it painted by those who hate the President already. For some people, this is indeed self-destructive behavior. While some will argue that the user himself is a victim, and his or her drug use is manifestation of inner pain as is an eating disorder or a physical tick, it is still not doing harm to any other person. What harm using marijuana is to that person, the user, is the question at hand. Smoking marijuana is a victimless crime; the problem is it is a crime. Over 850,000 arrests were made last year for marijuana possession. Only a small percentage of that was for possession with intent to sell. Almost all arrests were for possession of marijuana to use for personal pleasure. The issue I am focusing on is the destruction of youths. The destruction does not come from using marijuana. Lives are destroyed because of the sequence of events beginning with arrest for small possessions of marijuana, a weed.

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

This is Your Chance

By Francis X. Becker

or years people have complained to me about our current representative in Washington D.C., Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy. One person said to me recently, “Watch this, she will ﬂy in to campaign for a week before Election Day and afterwards we won’t see her again for two years.” When I ran against Carolyn McCarthy two years ago in 2010, this is exactly what she did. As I often stated during the campaign at the time, Carolyn McCarthy is completely out of touch with her district—as is evidenced in part by her ultra liberal votes for Obamacare and the wasteful trillion dollar stimulus package — and this is the reason why: To best represent the people you serve, I believe you have to be present with them in the district so you can listen, know and understand their concerns and their hopes for the future and those they hold for their families and our country. Simply put, Carolyn McCarthy is never here to do that, so she can’t really know and that is why she votes the way she does. It should be obvious to everyone by now that Carolyn McCarthy has very little concern for us as illustrated by her total absence from the district which has been going on for years and years now. During my tenure in representing Valley Stream, Lynbrook, Malverne, East Rockaway and Rockville Centre in

the Nassau County Legislature I have seen her perhaps six times. I attend just about every Eagle Scout Court of Honor to which I am invited to congratulate these fine young men and their families on the amazing accomplishment of having achieved the highest award in scouting. These young men (and young ladies in the girl scouts) are our future leaders. They deserve our attention and encouragement. There was a time also that a flag was presented by their congressperson to all Eagle honorees that had flown over the capital. No more. I have not seen Carolyn McCarthy at any of these important moments in the lives of the families and young men in her district for as long as I can remember. Even those who have supported her in the past have to admit, she doesn’t care. And everyone knows she spends most of her time at her home in the Hamptons or in Washington. That’s fine. But she has stopped doing her job a long time ago. For those who complain and have had enough, this is your chance do something about who represents you. Put your dissatisfaction into action. Contribute to the cause. I am putting myself on the line in running for Congress again this year, but I can’t do it alone. Be a part of the army that will change who represents us in Washington for the next two years and years to come. And if you really want to change Washington — you — we have to change who we send there. As a result of the 2012 re-apportionment, the geography of the New York Fourth Congressional District has moved east here on Long Island, changing the demographics and political make-

his afternoon, I was ‘smokin’ hot.’ Ever read the names of nail polish? They are printed on the bottom and are really quite amusing. I wonder sometimes who stays up all night coming up with names to match the colors in the bottles that I do not often see as having any connection whatsoever. One color I noticed today was called ‘mucho dinero’ and while one might expect the color to be a shade of green, it was not. It was a pearlized coral-like color that I did not think was attractive at all. I’m not sure what about that color screamed ‘mucho dinero’ unless it was named by someone with a good sense of humor. To me, it could have been named ‘80s Prom Queen.’ I am often ‘tomboy no more’ and once I was even ‘ballet slippers.’ Sometimes I am ‘sole mate’ and I love ‘chocolate kisses.’ I’ve never been ‘barely there’ and when I can, I am ‘wicked.’ But this was my first time being ‘smokin’ hot.’ Some women take the choosing of the right nail color very seriously, often too seriously, as if it was a life and death situation. Too pink or not too pink? That is the question. A couple of years ago, there was a woman testing out a number of different colors when I walked into the salon. To say she looked as if she had camped there over night is not much of an overstatement. Her socks were off and both feet were up on the coffee table. She had multiple open bottles surrounding her, having painted each of her toenails – and her fingernails – a different color. To me, they were all the same shade of hot pink. I could not tell the difference. She, on the other hand, seemed to have been ready to cure cancer or solve some higher math problem the way she was surveying her options. She was on a mission and this was serious business. More than once, I have sat in front of a manicurist and when asked what color I would like, I have simply responded, “Surprise me.” I do not imagine this woman would ever have left something like nail color to such chance. I, on the other hand, am just living on the edge. Some manicure devotees write down the name of a new color they may have chosen for the first time and liked. Then they have conversations about them, as if mentioning the names themselves is enough identification. Fingers spread wide as if she may be a duck’s webbed foot, one girl may say, “Oh! Is that ‘the hamptons’?” only to hear that ‘yes, it is’ or that, no – it was one of the other two hundred shades of pink. Who knew there were so many shades of one color? My sister-in-law has a real eye for color and can truly discern the difference between shades. She and I may look at a bottle of red nail polish

Made in Israel

ohannesburg – In late May the government of South Africa announced that it will require that merchants not mislabel products “made in the occupied Palestinian Territories,” as “made in Israel.” Israel summoned the South African ambassador to protest and a spokesman for the foreign ministry accused the government of South Africa of racism. Israel feels that she is being singled out from dozens of other countries with territorial conﬂicts. However, for years already in the European Union, Israel has had to accept that products made in Judea and Samaria do not get similar preferential tariffs as products made on the other side of the Green Line. Britain allows merchants to label food as made by Palestinians or by “settlers.” With this latest proposal by the gov-

ernment in Pretoria, the tide does not seem to be turning in Israel’s favor. The hypocrisy of Europe in the postcolonial era has been known for years. The only reason the Brits, the French and others pick on Israel is because of the guilt they feel for their own colonial crimes and because of their failure to hold onto their empires. But the South Africans? The history of South Africa is stained with oppression, Apartheid and racial laws that rivaled Nazi Germany. Until around 1990 it was illegal for a white and a black to have intimate relations. Yet when the history of the post Apartheid era is written it will show a newly freed people choosing reconciliation over revenge, how the formerly oppressed seek to improve their lot by opportunity, not by reallocation and redistribution of assets nor by vengeance.

Joel Moskowitz is a businessman and writer who resides in Lawrence NY. His blog “The Ranting Heeb” can be accessed at http://therantingheeb.blogspot.com/ -Joel prides himself on being outspoken and welcomes all comments.

South Africa it seems can get a pass for singling out Israel on this issue. It is understandable if you look at it from their perspective, a formerly oppressed people siding against the oppressors elsewhere. While a valid argument is made that Israel is not the aggressor, when push comes to shove -- to the uninformed, Israel has the air force, army and big weapons; the Palestinians do not. Because of the misperception of the uninformed it is easy to blame Israel’s problems on public relations and of course anti-Semitism. The reality is slightly more complicated than that. Most of the world cares little about the nuances of international political intrigue. They see a world that is progressively ridding itself of undemocratic regimes. While the successor states may need a lot of work in building truly egalitarian societies the ﬁrst baby steps seem like a step in the right direction. It’s time for Israel to realize that it’s no longer about who is wrong or right or who has more of a claim to the land. It is about the occupation of a people who have been shafted by everyone

i. My name is Howard and I’m a Mets fan. Like with any 12-step redemptive program for various uncontrollable abuses and addictions, it seems necessary to preface any article about Met fandom with a public acknowledgement of my weakness, much as someone might do in a support group like AA. Like many Met fans, this addiction got started early in childhood and has persisted deep into my adult years despite all logical arguments to the contrary. It’s the kind of thing that has you watching last Sunday’s third Mets-Yankee game hoping for the guys from Flushing to pull-out at least one win against the hated Bronx Bombers. It has you watching this while outdoors at a beachside bar with a bunch of other similarly afflicted guys when more well adjusted folks were taking in Vitamin D on their chaise lounges and listening to the idyllic crash of the surf. It’s the kind of thing that has you watching the Mets play on Tuesday night in Tampa Bay with nary an expectation of victory in the world and yet seeing them devastate the Rays 112. It’s the kind of thing that has you buying a ticket package to a bunch of home games knowing full well that very many of these games will not be victories. Met fans experience emotions that whipsaw from agony to ecstasy at speeds analogous to the mood swings of a newly menopausal woman. Hot flashes followed by rapid crashes are not uncommon in either situation. But while there are medicines that act as palliatives for women in their later stages of life, there’s nary a solution for the Met-afflicted, notwithstanding the advertised properties of beer. The truly serious fan will actually wear a Met hat (or other article of clothing) out in public. This typically elicits comments of sympathy, commiseration, pity, incredulity or when administered by Yankee fans, a Rodney Dangerfield-esque dose of “no respect.” And after last weekend’s drubbing of the Mets at the hands of the aforementioned Yankees, any base-

especially their own Arab brethren. Much as I’d love to wave a magic wand and make the Palestinian problem disappear for my beloved Israel, the truth is more complex. The world is watching and ultimately, if Israel wants to remain a member in good standing in the family of nations she will have to do more than improve her public relations. We can decry the hypocrisy of France or England but we can’t pull the same on countries like South Africa. And that should be a chilling wake up call to Israel and her supporters.

ball bragging rights in New York were most assuredly forfeit by the abysmal conclusions of each of those three games played by the Mets. Although the Mets are playing above .500 to the surprise even of avowed fans, there are maddeningly humiliating defeats that cut fans to the quick. There are reasons for many of these losses and they start with the bullpen – the Mets have the honor and distinction of having the worstperforming relief squad in the major leagues, clocking in with an ERA of over 7.00 – the relievers can be counted on to choke in must-hold situations, to flatout extract a defeat from the jaws of victory by literally handing a slew of runs to a team the Mets had been leading for six or seven innings or to ensure a dramatic collapse in the ninth. One of the only ways to ensure a win is to let starters like Johan Santana or R.A. Dickey pitch for an entire game – something that occurs only 3.4 percent of the time these days in the majors but far more often for the Mets. (I’m convinced that Major League Baseball “goosed-up” the game by institutionalizing and beatifying the “100 pitch count” for starters so as to make the games more exciting and utterly unpredictable by using more inferior relievers so as to battle the perception of baseball being slow and boring that existed before the 90s – but that’s another column…) Inconsistent pitching has plagued the Mets for about a decade now. Some years the starters are good and the bullpen bad (like this year), some years it’s the exact opposite and some years both groups of pitchers are a misery. Sometimes there is an inexplicable and maddening loyalty to position players who can’t hit their way out of a batting cage. Two cases in point are first baseman Ike Davis and left fielder Jason Bay. Davis has been in a hitting slump that had him batting about .170. He’s up to .188 as of Thursday having come alive in the last two games against the Rays. In the National League where pitchers bat, Davis, until Wednesday had been an assured second guaranteed out along with the hurler at the bottom of the rotation. Davis is going to have to have an incredible

last two-thirds of the season to get his average above .300. The hapless Jason Bay who went 0-14 between Friday and Tuesday and is batting at .187. is another guaranteed strikeout, ground-out or fly-out. As of Thursday he had only four homers and six RBIs for the whole season. In three years with the Mets he’s only produced 22 home runs in contrast to the 36 he delivered for the Red Sox just in 2009. Bay is costing the Mets $66 million over a four year deal. Maybe the Mets feel they have to get their moneys worth by playing him. If that’s the case there are probably 50,000 Met fans who would pay the Mets $10 each just to have Bay benched in favor of a hungry, hard-charging up-and-comer. I would venture that most Met fans would help pay for a trade to any other team that the Mets would have to subsidize – just to end the misery – and Bay’s becoming semi-conscious battingwise Wednesday and Thursday in Tampa is by no means any indication he can be consistent. This week the Mets astonishingly got over the Rays in three straight. This weekend the Mets play the Reds who are in first place in the NL Central, followed by the resurgent Baltimore Orioles who are having their first winning season in 20 years and are number two in the AL East. No big challenges there. If they emerge victorious through most of these contests it will be the triumph of irrational exuberance over the forces of pure logic and statistics – and next weekend the Mets get another crack at the Yanks, this time at home. Having said all this (and I feel better for getting it off my chest, thank you) back in late February I penned an article called “The Fight for Second Place,” where I predicted even before Spring Training that the Mets would be contenders for second place in the NL East and so far this prediction has been pretty accurate (they’re now in second place in the NL East) which is all the more amazing considering that everyone had the Mets pegged to be in dead last – and herein you see fully manifested a Met fan’s dependency and addiction, so help me, someone please stage an intervention.

Father’s Day: Not as Old as you Think! By Deanna Del Ciello

here are certain holidays that always raise the question “Where did they come from? Why is there a day designated for this?” Most people settle on the answer that certain holidays were created by greeting card companies. But Father’s Day, in fact, was not and went through years of opposition from citizens and the government before it was ﬁnally declared a national holiday. Father’s Day can thank its creation to its twin and more popular holiday, Mother’s Day. Activists Ann Reeves Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe can be credited with the creation of Mother’s Day in the post-Civil War era, in an effort to connect the mothers of Confederate and Union soldiers. Mother’s Day became a commercial holiday in 1908 when, after being inspired by Jarvis’ daughter Anna who wanted to honor her own mother by making the day

a national holiday, the John Wanamaker department store in Philadelphia sponsored a service dedicated to mothers in its auditorium. When the connection was made between Mother’s Day and retailers, the holiday became widely accepted and in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson approved the resolution that ofﬁcially made the second Sunday in May a day to honor mothers. After Mother’s Day became so successful, there was a push to create similar holidays to honor other family members. Father’s Day was the choice that was most likely to succeed. On July 5, 1908, the nation’s ﬁrst event honoring fathers was held in a West Virginia church: a sermon that was given in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah. This event was a onetime commemoration and not an annual holiday.

Following the service in West Virginia, a woman from Spokane, Washington, became inspired to create a holiday for fathers. Sonora Smart Dodd was one of six children raised by Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, who was a widower and raised his chil-

dren on his own. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them. She originally suggested her father’s birthday which was June 5, but the pastors didn’t have enough time to prepare their sermons so the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. After gaining more support for the holiday, Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on July 19, 1910. Eventually the holiday began to spread. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge encouraged state governments to observe Father’s Day but many men continued to disdain the day. One historian wrote that men “scoffed at the holiday’s sentimental attempts to domesticate manliness with flowers and gift-giving.” It took a few decades after the first celebration of fathers for the day to

become a national holiday. Americans had originally resisted the holiday because they saw it as an attempt by merchants to replicate the commercial success of Mother’s Day. Newspapers frequently featured cynical and sarcastic attacks and jokes aimed at the holiday. Congress was also against the holiday, fearing that it would become commercialized and rejected two attempts to make it ofﬁcial. However in 1957 things started to change when Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal accusing Congress of ignoring fathers for 40 years while honoring mothers, thus “[singling] out just one of our two parents.” Then in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the ﬁrst presidential proclamation honoring fathers and designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

Local Leaders Recall Memories Of Their Fathers CONTINUED FROM P. A7 est in serving as a priest,” he said, adding that not every parent is supportive of such a calling these days. “With prayers, advice, and a loving home I could always call my own, my father has made it clear that he supports God’s plan for me 100 percent,” Father Fasano said. “My folks have even begun attending Mass at Good Counsel and St. Joseph’s whenever possible, and so, The Five Towns and these beautiful churches have started to become a second spiritual home for them as well.”

-- Amanda Mayo Frank Scaturro, Republican Candidate for U.S. 4th Congressional District Frank Scaturro, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 4th Congressional District, remembers his father, Salvatore Scaturro, fondly. “He was a very kind, very good man. He was very devoted to our faith and always put values ﬁrst. That’s the thing I always remember,” Scaturro said. His father immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1950 when he was nine years old. The family originally moved to Brooklyn but eventually began to branch out into the Long Island area, which Scaturro remembers exploring with his father as a child. “There’s a great metropolis to the west and country to the east and my father gave me a taste of

both,” Scaturro said. “I look back fondly on fishing trips we took down on the boats off Freeport. We would go camping out east in the Riverhead area, typically once a year. We would take a lot of car trips to historical sites and every time we went into the city I asked to go see Grant’s tomb. Those are really some of my fondest memories.” Besides day trips with his father, Scaturro remembers his family’s Father’s Day tradition, which lasted until 1986, of going to his grandmother’s house for dinner. “My grandmother would cook amazing meals, always the taste of Sicily and she would make enough food to feed an army. That was how we spent most, if not all, our Father’s Days when my grandfather was around.” Scaturro’s father died just after New Year’s in 1994 from a brain tumor. “It was a year and three months of him bravely struggling with the brain tumor he was diagnosed with,” Scaturro said. “That’s the thing that really struck me about him. He was such a good, decent, honest man. Someone who took his faith seriously and put values first. He didn’t want people to make a fuss over him.” Scaturro recalled his father always working hard to provide for his family. “He was intent on giving his children opportunities that he never had. He always wanted me to have the best opportunities for education and so forth. He was always very selfless.

It’s going to be something fairly simple.”

-- Deanna Del Ciello Village of Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner Despite facing Parkinson’s Disease late in his life, Oskar Oliner, Mayor Martin Oliner’s father, always managed to keep his sense of humor. “He never gave up hope and his desire to live,” he says. “He always had a smile on his face and always cracked a great joke when he needed to. I just remember him as extremely loving and caring to me and to all my kids and my wife.” Oskar Oliner faced many hard-

ships in his life. The Holocaust survivor, who passed away 11 years ago, spent time in a concentration camp. He lived in Poland during World War II and was eventually saved by a Polish gentile family who allowed him to live in their barn during the Nazi occupation after he escaped. The Mayor says that his father was a strong-willed individual all throughout his life. “He never collapsed – he escaped from the concentration camp,” he says. “My father faced numerous challenges with courage and determination, never questioning God’s divine plan.” Despite all the hardships that his father had to overcome, the Mayor says he was very loving, caring and affectionate – particularly given the fact that he lived through the Holocaust. “Many Holocaust survivors were very bitter,” says Oliner. “My father was not.” Before Oskar Oliner became successful in real estate, the May-

That’s My Boy: Rated R. A single father ﬁnds his lackluster parenting skills coming back to haunt him in this Adam Sandler comedy penned by Role Models collaborators Ken Marino and David Wain, and co-directed by Sean Anders and John Morris. As a teenage father, Donny (Adam Sandler) struggled to raise his son Todd (Andy Samberg) until Todd was old enough to strike out on his own. Subsequently estranged from his father for years, Todd is about to marry the love of his life when Donny turns up determined to form the father-son bond they never had. Now the harder Donny tries to connect with his long-lost son, the more furious Todd’s future bride grows with the unwelcomed intruder and his obnoxious antics. Leighton Meester, James Caan, Susan Sarandon and Milo Ventimiglia co-star.

LIBERAL VOICE

Marijuana: Gateway to Hell? CONTINUED FROM P. A8 Many arguments of concerned citizens against legalizing pot have some merit and we should examine them. Many adults know friends who smoked marijuana about the same time in life as President Obama (They and their friends did not become the editor of the Harvard Law Review, but only one person a year does). My cousin, who lived in Boro Park and was ﬁfteen years older than me, did not do any drugs but he had a hard time ﬁnishing high school. Later on he became head of neurosurgery at a prestigious hospital. There is a clear recognition among universities that adolescent behavior is not criminal by nature or an impediment to healthy maturity. They recognize alcohol and recreational drug use is among those adolescent activities. Princeton University provides 98 percent of the students accepted to attend

with dormitories space. The students at Princeton are offered to choose either substance free dorms or non-substance free dorms. You commit to a complete ban of substances in the former and do not commit to the ban in the latter. The folks who run Princeton at some point recognized that future leaders of business, politics, science, etc. are still teenagers coming in and at best young adults on exit. On the one hand you could ban all substances and punish the offenders, but the administration recognizes that any punishment for underage drinking or using marijuana would outweigh the seriousness of the offense. Proper punishment would include expulsion if the student is unable to complete coursework or if violent or deviant behavior resulted from substance abuse, (Remember, Mitt Romney did not appear to need drugs to exhibit deviant behavior.) but that same punishment

is meted out if no drugs are involved. Now look at the positive attributes of their policy. The university students do not feel compelled to go outside on the streets or alleys of New Jersey to occasionally blow off steam. Thus there is no driving while impaired and no overusing in an attempt to have one or two more for the road. Another important fact: no police enter campus grounds looking for people who are committing harmless misdemeanors. Imagine your son or daughter driving with three friends when a police car ﬂashes its lights behind for some infraction. The person sitting behind the driver panics and tries to discard a small amount of marijuana under the driver’s seat, but when the policeman looks in the car the contraband is visible or he thinks he sees something and asks everyone to get out of the car. To be continued…

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

This is Your Chance CONTINUED FROM P. A8 up of the district. For those who don’t realize it, the new district now includes a part of Congressman Pete King’s old district which is an amazing opportunity to defeat Carolyn McCarthy because this is new territory for her and territory that is unlikely to support her liberal agenda. While the district still leans Democrat, there are signiﬁcantly fewer Democrats now in the new district than the old district. Also, the geography of the district has shifted away from areas along the New City border that overwhelmingly (80 percent) vote Democrat and into areas that for the past 10 years have voted overwhelmingly for Republican Congressman Pete King and for Republican members of the state legislature. Long Island is a quintessential suburban community whose values, in political lingo, are center right. (Carolyn McCarthy’s voting record is liberal left) The Nassau population is also highly educated and well versed in the issues. The new district, largely comprised of middle class families, will be more responsive than ever before to the Republican message of growing the economy, creating jobs, and re-

ducing spending and taxes. As a financial planner who works on a daily basis with families from all demographics and walks of life helping them plan for their futures and for their children’s futures, I hear the same worries and concerns from just about all of them. Within the past four years they have found it increasingly difficult to save enough money for retirement, for their children’s education and simply to make ends meet. They are equally concerned about the security of their jobs. In the past, only on occasion, would I counsel a person who had lost their job or was in between jobs. Now, and for the past three years, I am doing this on a regular basis. Before even getting to the planning part of our meeting they will express their worries, wondering if the economy will ever improve and will there be better days ahead. Invariably they also express their concerns about the future of our country and the national deficit and what impact it will have on their children and future generations. Nassau County is also one of the highest taxed counties in the nation, and people are fed up with taxes. As someone who

cares very much about my community, it takes a great toll on me to see people suffering like this. It makes me angry because I feel it does not have to be this way. As a person well versed in finances, I clearly see the policy failures that have created this economically devastating scenario in our country today. And Carolyn McCarthy is a part of the problem and a key reason, along with her fellow Democrat colleagues, for the current state of our economy and nation. Does all this make you angry? Do you want to see our country turned around and on its way back to economic prosperity? Well, this is your chance. Get involved, contribute your time and contribute financially. Don’t let this opportunity pass by where we can send someone who believes in the same things and has the same values as we do and is passionate about representing you and your family in Washington. Let’s send to Washington a person who is prepared to fight the out of control spending and runaway national debt that threatens the futures of our children and grandchildren for decades to come. I’m ready. I am willing. I need your help. Let’s do it.

Inventive Burger Recipes for Father’s Day Barbeque By Eileen Goltz

sit for 5 minutes. Serve on a roll or bun.

Special To The Standard

Modified from Oprah.com

rowing up the only time my dad cooked was when it was barbeque time. This is not to say that my dad was a good barbeque-er but rather, he was an enthusiastic barbeque-er who always surprised us with how he always managed to come within an inch of incinerating his culinary offerings. But trust me, even his disasters were delicious. I have LOTS of interesting barbecue memories of which is my father was the star. Primary among them is the time he squirted a wee bit too much lighter fluid on a grill, a charred garage and the fire department visiting the neighborhood. Needless to say, as Father’s Day rolls around my thoughts turn to charred hot dogs (and garages) burnt burgers and all the creative mixtures he threw on the grill. Actually “barbecue” is one of the most misused words in our cooking vocabulary. Putting steaks, hot dogs and hamburgers on a grill should be called “grilling” not barbecuing. In actuality, when you barbecue you’re supposed to slow-smoke meat at a low temperature for a long period of time, with a liquid or sauce (and smoke) as a flavoring and tenderizing agent. As best as I can tell the origins of barbecuing are in the early 1500’s when Spanish explorers found natives of the West Indies preserving meats in the sun. They had a word for this process, “barbacoa.” It’s assumed that this is where the modern word barbecue came from. When the European immigrants began settling the southern United States the racks were replaced with pits and smokehouses. The modern concept of barbecuing meat with a sauce traces its beginnings to the western cattle drives of the mid to late 1800’s. The bosses weren’t inclined to use prime cuts of meat to feed their cowboys so tougher cuts like brisket cooked in chili flavored sauces were used. So, in honor of all the men out there who fulfill the role of dad here are some of my all time favorite grilled burger recipes. They’re the perfect gift to share with the dad you love the most.

While burgers are cooking toast the buns and if you want to make the sun dried tomato mayonnaise just put everything in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Serve the burgers on rolls with lettuce. Makes 4

In a large bowl, combine the corn chips, taco seasoning, onion and egg. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side. Top each burger with a cheese slice; cook just until cheese begins to melt. Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and salsa. Makes 6.
