COSTCO PLANS GAS STATION ON ROCK TPKE

Happy Grads

By Natalia Kozikowska A public hearing was held on Wednesday in Hempstead’s Town Hall to discuss Costco Wholesale Club’s plan to add a 22-pump gas station on Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence. Concerned residents oppose the proposal because they feel as though the station would generate more trafﬁc and potentially dangerous situations on the already busy road. Several business owners were also in attendance, expressing their concerns for the increased competition. If the proposal passes, Lawrence’s Costco will be the ﬁrst with a gas station on Long Island. Costco is seeking a permit to install three 30,000-gallon storage tanks in the southwest corner of Rockaway Turnpike and the Nassau Expressway.

Two years ago, Francis Becker and Frank Scaturro faced off in a Republican primary in their efforts to challenge Carolyn McCarthy for her seat in congress. Tuesday, history repeats itself as the candidates will be doing the same thing, with the same end goal in mind. Becker outpolled Scaturro 10,361 to 7,733 in 2010 and then lost to McCarthy in the general election by 7.2 percent, the closest win McCarthy has had since 1998. Because of his near success the ﬁrst time around, Becker be-

After the Westbury Beach Clubs in Atlantic Beach were devastated by Hurricane Irene last August, it became apparent that they no longer would be able to operate for the summer 2012 season. All of the club’s oceanfront cabanas were destroyed down to piles of concrete and rubble, along with many other main structures. Howard Taub, owner of the Sunny Atlantic Beach Club, decided to purchase the destroyed Westbury property along with other investors to give new life to a club that has become otherwise inoperable. Taub has been a key player in the Atlantic Beach beach club scene for the last 12 years. A graduate of Oceanside High School, Taub said he wasn’t always in the real estate business. “I was in retail from the age of 13 up until the year 2000,” Taub said. He was a retail manager for his family’s electronics and appliances business in Queens and then, when the business “changed direction,” he became its proper-

Taub grew up in Oceanside and then moved to Cedarhurst with his wife in 1998 when the opportunity to purchase Sunny Atlantic from his grandparents arose. The purchase was ﬁnally made in 2000. “I needed to be close to where I was working so we rent-

ed an apartment in Cedarhurst,” Taub said. His family has owned the club since the early 1980s. “I decided to purchase the Westbury property because it became available,” Taub said, adding that he likes owning beachfront property. “We’re going to make it similar to Sunny Atlantic,” he said of the plans for the old Westbury property. Westbury’s smaller property, Westbury III, is set to open on July 4 while the larger property will

open next season. Both properties together will be called The Shores. “We’re going to do whatever we can to put money back into the club,” Taub said. “We’re going to make it a thriving beach club like Sunny Atlantic.” He said that the plans are to give members “what they pay for and more” and to “exceed members’ expectations.” He said he wasn’t sure yet what will make The Shores different than the other clubs down at the beach but he is certain that it will be a “destination resort beach club.” “It’s going to be what the Village of Atlantic Beach deserves,” he said. “A nice, thriving, ongoing beautiful beach club for a village that’s been just as beautiful for the last 100 years.” The larger club at The Shores will be ready to show for reservations this August. Taub said the reason why he and investors are able to open up the smaller club at The Shores (formerly Westbury III) is because it didn’t receive as much

Tensions between Republicans and Democrats in the Nassau Legislature have been steadily rising since May as the stand-off in the between the Republican majority and Democratic minority has proved to be intractable. The Republicans want to pass a bond issue to help retire arrears in property tax refunds. This requires a super-majority in the legislature, not a simple majority. The Democrats have balked

Although Atlantic Beach as a community dates back to the mid 1920’s, it didn’t become an incorporated village until 1962. At that time, it was the ﬁrst village to incorporate in New York State since the enactment of a 1936 amendment to the State

Socal Service Agencies To See Big Budget Cuts If No County Bond Issue CONTINUED FROM P. A1 at voting for the bond issue unless the GOP legislators concurrently vote to approve nonpartisan legislative redistricting. More budget cuts will be implemented by the County Executive if the bond issue isn’t passed owing to the requirement to refund overpaid property taxes as the refund monies would come at the expense of social service allocations. Nonproﬁts that depend heavily or exclusively on County funding ﬁnd themselves in the middle of this budget battle. “Our organization saves the county money by keeping many kids, opposed to the thousands, out of the ERs and out of jails,” said Andrew Malekoff, executive director of the North Shore Children and Family Guidance Center. “Twenty to 30 percent of our calls here at the center are emergencies from kids who suffer abuse, substance abuse and contemplate suicide, but if we can’t provide for them they will be ending up in facilities that cost the county and tax-payers way more money, which negates everyone’s loses in the end.” Malekoff said their agency

may lose up to $200,000 total if the county reduces their budget. A county reduction will result is a decrease of yearly state funding, as well, as the state normally matches what the county provides. He said that they will have to release at least one full-time counselor who sees over 40 to 50 kids a day, and they would have to reduce their outpatient program that assists residents from all over Nassau from teens to young adults. Malekoff added that their program has not seen a budget increase in 25 years, despite the massive increase of pill and general drug abuse and deaths on Long Island. He has worked for the county since 1977, and believes that along with the recession and unemployment being higher than ever, more factors than ever are contributing to families at risk. “You have to feel bad for the people impacted by this,” he said. “Our amount of money, overall in the budget is a small, small amount, but the people that are being helped is tremendous.” In a press event in Mineola on Monday many of the agencies rallied to confront the legisla-

Costco Plans Gas Station On Rockaway Turnpike CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Its plan is to take 163 of its 822 parking spaces to create the station. There could be 915 spaces if the club opts to build additional spots on undeveloped land which is currently owned by New York State. The town is requiring at least 775 parking spaces based on the proposal. If Costco stripped out the entire parcel now, as it stands today, it would have over 900 spaces and would not require a variance. Costco’s plan shows a second contingency that relates to the Nassau Expressway. In the most conservative plan, it would widen the road and take a portion of those spaces and that would leave Costco with 735 spaces. Before Costco may proceed to

build the gas station, Hempstead’s Board of Appeals must grant Costco a parking variance. The town board meeting, which has already been closed, was held to request that the property be included in the Gasoline Service Station (GSS) overlay district. Anytime there is a new gas station in the Town of Hempstead it has to be included in that zoning overlay district. Even though Costco is in a different zoning district it will still need the approval ﬁrst. The grant has not been decided upon yet and there is still no set date. Assuming the town board approves the GSS request and the zoning board approves the variance request, Costco will go back to the Town Board. Attorney Michael Shanker, a representative for merchants

tion with what they said was not much of a response. “It was embarrassing, disheartening and discouraging,” said YES Community Counseling Center Vice President, Jamie Bogenshutz. “The brunt of the budget cuts will be our youth services,” she said. “They will be shut down.” The YESCCC provides over 1,000 Nassau County children a year with individual, family and group counseling as well as school programs that call out to subjects lesser discussed, like struggling with sexual and substance abuse, grief counseling, bullying, socialization and coping skills. Bogenshutz said the budget cuts will bring on a gamut of job losses. Therapists, counselors, receptionists and the entire human service network at the organizations will lose their jobs, putting more Nassau residents at risk for foreclosures and social issues like depression leading to crime; something that their ofﬁces would normally counsel for. Bogenshutz said that the agencies will show up at this Monday’s Legislature meeting to propose that both parties work together for a secure ﬁnancial

and residents of North Lawrence and Woodmere, says the proposed gas station could potentially create a dangerous situation as they take parking spaces. “That’s why they are here − to get the variances,” he says. “If there aren’t enough parking spaces it is possible that it will create a dangerous situation because people are backed up and trying to get in or as they circle around.” Shanker does not feel that fear of competition plays a heavy role in the opposition. “I think that most residents are doing this in good faith.” In an effort to show to the Town of Hempstead board the potential hazards that could come as a result Shanker is hoping to compile a trafﬁc study report. During the hearing however, he voiced his concerns that he will not be able to compile the study ontime before the next hearing. Suphi Yildirman, who attended the hearing on behalf of the BP Gas Station, says the road is

plan, and that they cease to point fingers at one another. Ted Levy, Nassau County Youth Board leader said he is hopeful about his team who has been working on a proposal for the Legislators. “We are hoping that our input can help people to move ahead,” he said of the county officials. “Basically, the leadership of the county has to compromise. It can’t say, ‘It’s my way or no way’ and let people suffer.” Levy’s organization is also set to suffer complete defunding of their social service program, should the budget cuts be passed. Statements from the County Executive’s office support the notion that both the Republicans and the Democrats are still unwilling to cooperate on the budget. “The Democrats should do the right thing and provide the three votes necessary to avoid these draconian cuts,” Ed Mangano said about sparing the cuts. County Spokesman Brian Nevin agrees with Mangano’s statement saying, “The only money being wasted is that on the salaries of these nine [Democratic] legislators who ought to be ashamed of themselves for trying to hide their political motivation with fantasy facts. Their shameful self-interest is the only thing putting these services at

risk.” Local Legislator Howard Kopel (R-Five Towns) believes the cuts are a terrible strain on the county, and if the Legislature of Nassau County is willing to work something out then it’s possible that the cuts don’t have to happen. “It’s a matter of arithmetic, really,” Kopel said. “It’s simple calculus. The money isn’t there and the place it can come from is borrowing, which is temporary.” Kopel added that if the agencies in crisis propose a ﬁnancial solution to the board that hasn’t been thought of then he would be delighted to hear it. Legislator Francis X. Becker (RLynbrook) afﬁrmed that these cuts will affect everyone in the county, agreeing with Malekoff, and that, of course, he is not interested is seeing an increase in social disruptions like more hospital visits and a spike in crime. “It’s tragic,” Becker said of the situation. “Once again, this is caused by the Democrats not wanting to cooperate. I am stunned and shocked that it has come to this point.” He said that he believes Mangano will make the budget cuts to the youth programs a last resort, but that the old notion stands -- there is no way for the county to come up with $41 million in cash. Kevan Abrahams’ (D-Hemp-

His main concern is that Costco’s proposed gas station would induce so much trafﬁc that customers would be unable to enter his station. In addition Yildirman says that if the proposal is passed that Costco’s gas station would only be 100 meters away from his. “One hundred meters is very close,” says Yildirman. Yildirman also says that another gas station would only generate more competition on a strip were there are already so many options. “We already have nine other gas stations. We have a Gulf, we have a Sunoco, we have Shell, we have a BP, we have a Hess and we have a Mobil.” He feels that building yet another station will only be another challenge for owners who already face competition on Rockaway Turnpike. Peter Halperin, a resident

Woodmere who travels on Rockaway Turnpike every day is opposed to bill because he says it will create major trafﬁc jam-ups. “It’s going to cause a lot of backup in the Costco parking lot, back-up on the street and just major problems on Rockaway Turnpike that are already there.” Costco’s attorney, Daniel Baker says that in the previous public hearing there was no opposition to the proposal. “Nobody showed up at that time,” he says. “I haven’t spoken to everybody who’s here today. I don’t know what all their concerns are,” he adds. “The only concerns I did hear are from people who have neighboring gas stations.” He says that gas station owners are simply concerned that Costco’s gas station may infringe upon their business. “New York State doesn’t view that as a reason for opposing,” he says.

stead) Spokesman Mike Florio mentioned that he thinks a few lost financial causes reinstated in the past few years would help even if the county could keep open one more non-profit than the Legislature had previously thought. “At Monday’s hearing we pointed out that in 2009 the Red Light Program was meant specifically for this situation, to ensure that a day like this never happened,” he said. “At this point the services are being treated like pawns, but if we just eliminate even the $2 million that we spend in political mailings to Nassau residents, it would cut some corners. In a time of fiscal crisis like this, those type of things should be the first thing cut, but they have not been.” The goal of the red-light camera program was to change driver behavior while gathering revenue for the social services of Nassau County. The county’s website says that studies across the country prove red-light camera programs are successful at reducing the number of red-light runners and increasing compliance with traffic laws, thus making roadways safer for all drivers and pedestrians. “I always hope that people will come to their senses and do the right thing,” Florio said of the County Executive. “Even if it is in the eleventh hour.”

that Costco has hired a traffic engineer who has prepared a report which was presented to the town board and will be presented to the zoning board. “That [the report] will state that what Costco is proposing will not have any adverse or negative impacts on any existing conditions, meaning whatever traffic numbers and flow exist now will not increase in any negative way if this application is approved and they put in a gas station. Although Mayor Martin Oliner says he is a big fan of Costco, even saying “there is no better store in America,” he is concerned that an additional gas station will create more traffic in the area. He suggested that a better location for Costco to build its proposed station would be behind the mega store on Bay Boulevard. “I think the store personally is a great store but on the other hand if it’s on Rockaway Turnpike it’s just from a traffic point of view, not a good idea,” he says. Mayor Oliner says that at first glance citizens are concerned about traffic so he would like to see what Costco’s plans are to alleviate the potential problems. “What I’ve asked for and what I still need to see are the traffic studies,” he adds. “I am far from convinced that it won’t have a hazardous impact on traffic and if it would, then I would certainly be against it.” The next hearing is scheduled for August 1 at 2:00 p.m. at Hempstead’s Town Hall located on 1 Washington Street in Hempstead.

REMEMBRANCES

Steven S. Russo, 59, “He Loved Music”

By Amanda Mayo

teven S. Russo, a longtime resident of The Five Towns, passed away on May 30 after a long battle with cancer. He was 59. Russo was born in Brooklyn on September 6, 1952. In 1958 his family moved to The Five Towns and he graduated from George W. Hewlett High School in 1970. Russo went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from C.W. Post in 1975. Upon graduating, Russo started teaching in the Valley Stream Union Free School District and for the private school district of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. “He loved music, he was a musician,” Marc Russo, Steven’s brother, said. “He used to teach English and music, and he also gave private music lessons.” Marc said his brother played drums, keyboard and guitar and played in a number of local area bands throughout the years. “He was very dedicated to his students and had very good relationships with them and their parents,” Marc said. Steven started teaching in public and private schools in the 1980s all the way up until a few years ago. He

The band is an all-volunteer community band that plays “classics from Sousa to Gaga” and had a performance recognized by The New York Times last year that was labeled as “robustly rhythmic.”

“He was a very independent person,” Marc recalls of his brother. “He had viewpoints that really were original, never part of a category.” The TriBattery Pops labeled Steven as “a real hipster who understood and guided us.” Steven was also a member of the Sephardic Temple in Cedarhurst. Steven is survived by his father, Samuel and his brothers Marc and Alan. Services were held at Boulevard-Riverside Chapels in Hewlett on June 1.

governments throughout the nation are facing incredible challenges resulting from the global recession,” he said, stressing the importance of smaller village governments. “With less financial support from federal, state and county agencies, many of our longer-term capital programs must be fully locally funded.” He added that over the next two years, the Village of Hewlett Harbor will be looking at costefficient ways to address infrastructure deterioration. Trustee Tom Cohen, who was re-elected with 64 votes, said that even though many of the small village elections were uncontested, that doesn’t mean that they are unimportant. “In my third term as Trustee I plan on continuing to update and upgrade our technology and communication systems,” Cohen said. “I plan on working with my fellow trustees to maintain a fiscally responsible budget and keep Hewlett Harbor ‘simply a great place to live.’”

Theresa Socias, Lifelong Inwood Resident By Amanda Mayo

heresa J. Socias, a lifelong resident of Inwood, passed away on Monday, May 28. She was 96. Socias was born on October 27, 1915 in Inwood as one of eight children to parents who were Italian immigrants. She attended school up to the eighth grade at The Number Four School in Inwood, which now houses only a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten program. Her son, Anthony Socias, said she worked for a number of years in a dress factory, also in Inwood. “Outside of maybe a year of her life, she lived at 154 Mott Avenue in Inwood,” Anthony said. “She was a seamstress for a number of years and then when she got married to my father she stayed home and took care of me as a housewife.” Theresa’s husband, Ralph, 88, is retired from the Town of Hempstead highway department.

Anthony said his mother put a lot of her time into her local Roman Catholic Church, Our Lady of Good Counsel in Inwood. “She went to church every day,” Anthony said. “Her whole life was devoted to her family and devoted to the church. She pretty much went to every wedding that was there.” “She loved to cook. We al-

ways did Christmas Eve at my parents’ house and had the traditional Italian seafood dinner,” Anthony said, adding that the family did holidays at his parents’ house for a while, and then, for about the last 10 years, he did holidays at his house. Anthony said his mother loved to cook, sew and tend to the garden. He said she was always sewing something – blankets, sweaters, potholders. He said she also liked to read, and she spoke Italian ﬂuently. “She was a simple woman, content with what she had,” he said. “She was devoted to my father, devoted to me and my wife and kids. And she went to church every day.” “She had a warm heart,” Anthony said. “She would give whatever she had to anyone who needed it.” Theresa is survived by her husband, Ralph; her son, Anthony and his wife Catherine; and her grandchildren, Daniel and his wife Jaclyn, and Patrick.

Becker for Congress

ogi Berra used to say that “it feels like déjà vu all over again,” and so with the reprise of the GOP primary between Frank Scaturro and Fran Becker we have a repeat of 2010 when the two squared-off for the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Representative Carolyn McCarthy in the 4th Congressional District. Mr. Scaturro is one of those bright young Long Island boys who by dint of brains and hard work got himself an Ivy League education and then a four year stint as Counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee dealing with constitutional and judge-appointment issues. Like many an ambitious Washington staffer, Mr. Scaturro’s eyes turned towards being elected to Congress and so he came back here after many years away and sought the Republican nomination. Coming home he opted to play (and still play) the outsider role, declining to work with the party’s leadership and rank-and-file – preferring to go the primary route than the “go-along, get-along” approach. In this vein, he has assiduously alienated dedicated lifelong Republicans by asserting that they are “party hacks,” hurling chares of “bossism” and “cronyism,” and so forth. What Mr. Scaturro has failed to adequately comprehend is that any party and every party runs on local district, town, village and neighborhood organizations and these organizations typically have elected leaders. In our area many of these leaders are also the people’s elected representatives on the Town and County level. These folks have been elected time and time again because they’re been doing a good job for their constituents. There’s nothing nefarious about it. But Mr. Scaturro, because he was not given the nomination by acclamation by the party by virtue of his descending on us locals from the august heights of Washington and his Ivy League credentials chooses to run an insurgent campaign to make an endrun around the party, burning as many local bridges he can along the way, like Sherman in his march across Georgia. To Mr. Scaturro, that he’s never held any kind of elected office whatsoever on any level is immaterial. That he’s also never held any kind of significant appointed office aside from working as an attorney in D.C. also doesn’t matter. It’s all ideology to him. He’s on a Quixotic crusade. He’s bright, young, personable and very conservative, so send him to back to Washington. Ambition mixed with a heady dose of entitlement. No sense of needing to pay any dues and get some experience before heading to Congress. It reminds us of the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and look where that’s gotten us. We have another view – a view that says legislative experience matters. That constituent service matters, that community service matters, that a lifetime living in the district matters, that longstanding family roots matter. Francis X. Becker (or Fran as most people call him) is as local as local leaders get. He has devoted his life to the people of Southwest Nassau. He’s no fancy-pants Ivy Leaguer. He’s a graduate of Lynbrook High School, Nassau Community College and Hofstra. Becker has been elected 10 times (the last time in November 2011 by over 70 percent) to the Nassau County Legislature and is in his 19th year serving the residents of Lynbrook, Valley Stream, East Rockaway, Malverne and parts of Oceanside and Rockville Centre. The hometown folks who know him best keep sending him back to Mineola with overwhelming margins and its not because he’s lacked challengers – it’s because Becker delivers for his constituents and because Becker can be counted on and because Becker’s word is his bond. Becker is not a lawyer, he’s a financial planner and studied business finance. We think that’s exactly the right kind of skill set necessary to help get America out of the ongoing financial disaster we’re facing with trillion-dollar-plus annual deficits. We don’t need someone to lawyer things to death – we’ve got Obamacare for that -- we need someone with a sharp pencil to make spending cuts. In 2010 in his run for Congress against Carolyn McCarthy, Becker repeatedly visited every nook and cranny of The Five Towns and we got to know him pretty well – Becker is a man of deep convictions and integrity who has his fingers on the pulse of the area. Every local GOP officeholder endorses him for all the reasons we state above and that’s why we also endorse Fran Becker for the Republican and Conservative Party nomination to face Carolyn McCarthy in November for New York’s 4th Congressional Seat. We urge you to get out and vote on Tuesday and make your voice heard. Another reason to vote for Becker -- We saw this posted on Facebook this week: Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8 percent sales tax on it? That’s $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It’s in the Obamacare bill and goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be to come to light after the 2012 elections? So, this is “change you can believe in?” Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8 percent sales tax. If you sell a $500,000 home, there will be a $19,000 tax. This bill is set to shaft the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. You weren’t aware this was in the Obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren’t alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren’t aware of it either. That’s right. We’re finding out what’s in Obamacare. Rep. McCarthy voted for it and supports it. And don’t forget you pay that 3.8 percent even if you have no gain on the sale. And if you do have a gain, your capital gains tax is going up from 15 percent to 20 percent plus the aforementioned 3.8 percent federal home sales tax.

PICK-UP MY RECYCLING AND STOP AUSTERITY IN EUROPE By David M. Freedman

y wife tries hard to sort and separate our trash from the recycling all the time. She separates and ties up the newspapers and buys special colored bags to hold our recycling. She is constantly reminding me to place the right items in the right garbage can in our house. We believe in recycling and in the need to help save our environment. After many years of doing this, I am still surprised when I see my recycling sit for weeks at a time uncollected. Often times, it requires a phone call to Sanitary District 1 to get a pickup. Now if recycling collection was on an appointment basis, I would have nothing to complain about. I would simply call before the cats and the raccoons attacked my recycling bags, which are piled up high because the Sanitary District pro-

vides me with only one recycling container. This is despite repeated requests for another or even two, which would easily handle a month’s load fairly well. But unfortunately, my recycling needs to be re-bundled on a regular basis, because it sits there for weeks on end, rotting and stinking in the sun. When we ﬁrst moved to The Five Towns, there was no recycling, so we put everything together and watched how for the most part everything departed our premises on a regular basis. Now, my garbage moves and my recycling sits and when it is removed it is combined with all the other garbage, ostensibly to be sorted at a central location. Now if this was only me, I wouldn’t complain! But everybody I talk with has the same story. So please Sanitary District # 1, please pick up my recycling on a regular basis!!!! Now on to another and more troubling subject. Students of history only need to look back to the late 1920’s and early 1930’s to see an economic disaster repeating itself. Europe is coming apart economically and once again European banking powers have promoted the concept of austerity as the Eurozone collapses. Economic history has shown that when an economy is foundering, removing cash from that economy only makes things worse. Yes it easy to say, that countries should only live within their means. But with 25 percent unemployment in Spain and Italy and Greece in danger of collapsing economically, economic turmoil can

Nanny State By George Sava

ecently Mayor Bloomberg announced his proposal to restrict the sale of sugared drinks in New York City. Similarly, Cambridge, Massachusetts is considering a ban of sugary drinks in restaurants. The impetus for these restrictions is the concern that a high intake of soda and other sugary drinks increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. Opponents of these restrictions claim that these “fat laws” are nothing more than a restriction on our personal freedoms. According to a recent Forbes article, “Nanny state restrictions encourage citizens to abdicate their decision-making to the government. As blogger Bill Whittle stated, ‘the more your government restricts your options, the more you psychologically look to government to keep you safe, fed, clothed, housed and sustained.’” Mayor Bloomberg’s counter is that widespread obesity drives up health costs for everyone. According to some reports, around $117 billion is spent on obesity related health care. Clearly obesity is a great problem in our country. Today, over two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. One-third of the population is considered obese. Nearly a third of youths are overweight. Sadly, there are some estimates that 42 percent of the country will be obese in 20 years. As such, more states are looking to take action. According to The Washington Post, more than 25 states are currently debating over 140 bills aimed at obesity. Various state legislators cite the success of various anti-smoking laws passed in the 1990s and the importance of additional health related laws today. As background, from 1998 to 2005, the consumption of tobacco fell 20 percent. From 2005 to

2010, consumption fell 7.6 percent. According to a Washington Post article, “The drop was a result, they said, of factors that include the sharply higher cost of cigarettes, restrictions on cigarette advertising and a shift in public perceptions as the dangers of smoking are more aggressively and widely publicized.” Notwithstanding, like many issues before us today, there is a great divide as to the Mayor’s new proposed restrictions. Do we allow the government to restrict our freedom of choice for our alleged own good? Are we incapable of making health related decisions for ourselves and our families? Are those who choose to live unhealthy lives truly a drain on health related resources? For the sake of full disclosure, I am a statistic. For years I lived a very healthy lifestyle which included exercise and healthy eating. In the last several years, however, with work and family concerns my eating and exercise habits have been less than optimal and I have allowed myself to gain weight. Although I have pledged to right the ship, being in my forties I realize it will not be easy. What is interesting about my personal situation is that I don’t drink sugary drinks. My current state is the result of a long term fast food diet and a lack of exercise. I point this out because although various politicians vilify sugary sodas as public enemy number one in the ﬁght against obesity, the fact remains that the sales of various sodas continue to decline. According to an MSNBC report, “U.S. soft-drink sales have fallen for six straight years as consumers switched to healthier alternatives such as juices and tea and cut back on spending in the recession.” Therefore, sodas might only be step one. If so, the question becomes what’s next? Although I am somewhat amenable to Mayor Bloomberg’s proposals I am very concerned about a possible slippery slope. How far is the government prepared to go, how much are various elected ofﬁcials prepared to restrict and what penalties are they prepared to enact for “our own good?” Arizona has already proposed a $50 tax on overweight individuals. Is this the future? If it is, I’m not sure I am ready to include a height and weight statement on my annual tax return.

here are a number of well-known song lyrics that go round and round in my mind. Some of them I live by, quoting them regularly regardless of time and place. It is safe to say that by and large, my kids would prefer I stop doing this altogether. I can be heard reciting the immortal words of Mick Jagger, reminding my children they cannot always get what they want, but if they try sometimes they just might ﬁnd, they get what they need. If they are injured or skin their knees, I ask them if I should sing Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” which annoys them every time. (That is not the intent, but it certainly is a perk.) And even though Kelly Clarkson used an already established idiom as the title of her hit song, “What Does Not Kill You Makes You Stronger” has quickly become part of my repertoire. Lately I have begun to wonder if the wise words of Simon and Garfunkle should be added to the list. Who knew just how true they were. “If I think back on the all the crap I learned in high school/ It’s a wonder I can think at all” should go down as probably the best lines ever. On that note, I am silently praying that all of my friends who teach in various high schools have decided to skip reading my column this week. There are about a handful of things I remember learning in high school, none of which have anything to do with math. I remember what a punnett square is (Thank you, Mrs. Fried) but I don’t remember how to make one (Sorry, Mrs. Fried.) I know that “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” and that The Crucible isn’t really about the Salem witch hunts. I know that my hands belong at “10 and 2” on the steering wheel and that squirrels are not targets. The most important lesson I learned, however, is that “The masses are asses.” So said my 11th grade history teacher and they are words to live by. My education truly began in college and later in graduate school. I was blessed with having great teachers and mentors along the way to guide and shape me. Part of that was the constant nagging question of, “And what are you going to do with that?” It was not enough to learn, study and grow – it was also about having practical and attainable goals. I wonder, therefore, who is responsible for misguiding some of the Occupy Wall Street protestors. One female protestor who was interviewed on national television a few weeks ago touted her Ph.D. in Philosophy and raged against the greater establishment who, she blamed, was responsible for her lack of employment. Personally, I think her biggest problem and the reason for her unemployment is that she has a doctorate in philos-

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

STRANGE RUMORS ABOUT “NOTHING” AND WEIRD RATTLINGS, SEINFELD SIGHTINGS

ow, Jerry Seinfeld never much interested me – whether as a stand-up comic on The Tonight Show, dull straight-man foil on his eponymous sitcom, or even as the royal guest of Mayor Parise and the Cedarhurst Trustee posse, while in town to shoot an Aussie Bank commercial. I think what really makes Seinfeld so unremarkable is that he has a knack for surrounding himself with much more interesting and talented people. He’s kind of the King of Glom (not to be confused with “glam”) in that he must appear to be the predictable center of attention, while all his minions entertain around him, like dutiful court jesters. But, this is not to vilify Jerry Seinfeld. Sure, he’s boring, but people really seem to take to his bland brand of comedy. So, it really did not “wow” me when a rival news outlet made the outrageous claim this week that Jerry has been seen around town and has started house-hunting in Hewlett Harbor. This “online only” news outlet made several bizarre claims, chieﬂy among them, that Jerry Seinfeld was spotted in “Xagahama Sushi” (sic) — presumably Xaga Sushi – and that he went shopping in an unnamed “local supermarket.” Now, I could see Jerry and his wife making their way to The Five Towns to shop at Brach’s, Seasons or Gourmet Glatt, heck, even Trader Joe’s. But, I would peg Jerry to dine at a place like “The Cottage” coffee shop, or maybe, Carlos and Gabby’s. Not that Xaga Sushi is bad, or anything, the place is ﬁne – just not real representative of Five Towns cuisine. And, the whole idea that Seinfeld would be

looking to settle in Hewlett Harbor, sounds like a story dreamed up by hack public relations scoundrels, or maybe, one of the new Hewlett Harbor Trustees, or even, the village’s Mayor, himself. As an expert in Five Towns’ real estate, I can tell you that people are stealing houses now in this tax-laden burg, and yet, the turnover on these estates is relatively tepid. Nothing makes a market percolate better than “celebrity sightings” and crazy rumors. If I were Jerry Seinfeld, I would look to move into Back Lawrence -- in District 15 – where he could snag a spacious ponderosa with a 12 car garage to house his famous Porsche collection. He’d save at least $50,000. a year on property taxes and have some very funny neighbors. Plus, when Larry David comes to visit – he can bring along Richard Lewis, Jeff Garland and Super Dave Osborn and the whole gang can hang out in “Traditions Deli” – The Five Towns’ glatt kosher answer to The Carnegie, and Katz’s Delicatessen. In fact, I am sure that Traditions will name a sandwich after Seinfeld – maybe bologna and hot air all on a marbled rye! So, before you go out house hunting in Hewlett Harbor, or grabbing your Nikon J1 to skulk in the parking lot of Key Food, hoping to grab a paparazzi shot of the Seinfelds shopping, maybe stake out Zomick’s in Gourmet Glatt – where their specialty is cinnamon bobka! You know, come to think of it, if Jerry Seinfeld does, indeed, choose to settle here in The Five Towns, he really won’t stick out too much. After all, as long as he drives his Porsche Carrera or Cabriolet, and keeps his Speedster in the garage, he’ll

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing off and, perhaps, finally warming up to the idea of Jerry Seinfeld becoming a Five Towner - - who knows, maybe Newman, Jerry Stiller and Keith Hernandez are lining up right behind him!

just be one of the thousands of local residents who tool around in such German sports cars. And, he is basically just a Jewish-looking guy who likes to wear baseball caps. Again, so do most adult male Five Towners. Therefore, maybe the idea of Jerry Seinfeld coming to The Five Towns is not that crazy. And, when you add to this his close cordial relationship with Mayor Parise and the Cedarhurst Trustee posse, as well as the Fourth Precinct police officers, you almost see the beautiful logic to this proposition. Hell, Jerry can drive his roadsters fast here, AND not have to worry about getting any parking tickets! If Jerry Seinfeld was, indeed, seen dining at Xaga Sushi, you can bet that by next Tuesday there will be a “Jerry Roll” -- featuring lox and horseradish. Perhaps, the boys at Xaga Sushi really have been feeding Seinfeld, and thus garnered the inside scoop about his potential relocation here. The restaurant which is currently the size of a Five Towns’ “California walk-in closet,” is in the process of moving to spacious digs in the double store next door. The new place is rumored to have a bar and even a stage. Perhaps, Jerry Seinfeld will be a regular patron and, maybe, even perform some stand-up on “Open Mic Nights!” Well, don’t think that I am warming up the band to welcome Jerry Seinfeld to The Five Towns, but maybe the idea of snagging him as a “local hero” is not entirely bad. Perhaps, there’s not anything wrong with it! And, best of all, with Jerry Seinfeld’s endorsement, my campaign to incorporate Woodmere as a Village, and install myself as its first “Legendary Mayor,” may actually finally gain some traction. After all, I am virtually unbeatvable, as the only candidate running who is imbued with the power of “The Kavorka!”

A Meaningful Recovery By Joel Moskowitz

ontrary to conventional wisdom, America is not as hated in the rest of the world as the media would have you believe. Certainly, that is truer in the developing world. While there is a perception of American arrogance, the feeling seems to be more that America makes decisions ﬁrst and asks questions later. People around the world are not upset that America acts, it is how she acts. It is American culture and way of life that they try to mimic. Everything from super markets to TV shows to malls is imported from the U.S. Now in a hyperconnected world everyone has access to and thus covets more than ever, the American way of life. Geo-politics means very little to the middle and working classes of the developing world, bread and butter is all they care about. Watching the Western world confront the ﬁnancial crisis renders our superiority meaning-

less. To the third world it is just a “welcome to our life” moment. Declining infrastructure, cuts in social welfare, joblessness, poor education, disappointment in government, these are all part of how most of the world lives in regular times. We have been given an opportunity, an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and to make our recovery meaningful. As I travel and therefore have to observe the unfolding political and ﬁnancial events at home from afar, I am struck by how out of touch we are. One side refuses to raise taxes the other to cut spending. We are stuck in a logjam that dissuades our leaders from seeking compromise and us from sacriﬁcing. Our military efforts have now become more burdensome than anyone predicted. The world waits for America to withdraw and to regain her footing. A weakened America makes no one, except perhaps France, happy. Because of America’s size and strength I am sure our recovery is imminent. What worries me is

that we will perceive it strictly as exceptionalism, not an opportunity. America is at her best when she is healthy and at peace. America shines when she exports goods and good will. The world waits for us to get our house in order because they know that a strong, healthy America is good for them as well. The upcoming election does not seem to offer an alternative to partisan bickering and special interest politics, too bad. I still haven’t made my mind up yet though I am leaning towards the candidate whom I believe will throw out the campaign promises and govern with a ﬁrm, fair hand. Now, more than ever we need a battle cry of what we can do for our country. Tax cuts and more social programs won’t help, but clear and concise plans to share the burdens will not only speed our recovery; it will make it stick and be meaningful. America will remain the one world power for a long time. It is what we do with our power that the rest of the world waits to see. We can recover and squander away another surplus on tax cuts and prescription drug supplements or we can ﬁx what’s broken, change our lives and make the world a better place. If only.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Supports JCC Bid for Number Six School

is already “home” to so many of our neighbors and friends; let us be “home” to everyone.

To the Editor, The JCC of the Greater Five Towns has bid for the Number Six School property that has been offered for sale by the Board of Education for School District #15. This acquisition will give the Five Towns what it is lacking a community center where the entire community can come together under one roof. Currently, the JCC is located primarily in “the little house on Grove Street.” From there and a multitude of satellite sites the JCC provides essential services to the community, including a Nursery School, Senior support programs, Traumatic Brain Injury programs, Food Pantry, After School Programs, Holocaust Survivor programs and the list goes on and on. All segments of our community population can beneﬁt or have beneﬁted from the programs and services offered by the JCC. In order to expand and reach everyone who needs or wants to be part of the JCC, we need to move to full service facility that will provide the classroom space, meeting room space, facilities for social and recreational activities for all ages and populations and the ability to be the community center our community deserves. We urge the residents of School District #15 to support the efforts of the JCC to be an integral part of their lives and the lives of the community. The JCC

Kudos for Beach Workers To the Editor, Having been fortunate enough to live in Atlantic Beach for the past 27 years, I have found the beaches to be maintained in a pristine fashion. Many residents as well as beach club members would agree that the beaches on the South Shore of Long Island are a great location to bring up children, and enjoy summer activities. This year speciﬁcally, I have taken the time to meet the people that manage eight resident beaches located in the Village of Atlantic Beach. I have discovered that approximately 30-40 high school and collage students are hired for the summer season, not only to maintain the beaches, but to provide various services for the residents’ convenience. They provide chair storage, the setting up and removal of beach chairs and umbrellas at the end of the day, and are also delegated to make sure that only authorized residents and their guests enter the beach. The amount of applicants that apply for this job is signiﬁcantly larger than the amount of individuals who get offered the job. Many of these workers return year after year and consider this a great way to spend their

summer. These young individuals rely upon mainly tips and the generosity of the residents and their guests. As a resident, many of us perhaps take these young workers for granted. Having worked with many of these individuals at my own beach, I have found them to be a delightful group of people, who treat the residents with courtesy and politeness, as well as greet everyone with a smile. I also notice a gentleman riding an ATV up and down the beaches to make sure that all the beaches, both public and private, are well maintained, with lifeguard supervision. My compliments to these young people, and I hope the community realizes how fortunate we are to have them at our service.

WE CAN HELP!

Becker Not Responsive to FEMA Abuse To the Editor, It was difﬁcult for me to keep a straight face as I read an article written by Legislator Francis X. Becker in last week’s issue of The South Shore Standard. In his article, Mr. Becker is promoting his current and most recent attempt to unseat Representative Carolyn McCarthy. As he exhorts what he perceives to be Ms. McCarthy’s lack of physical presence among her constituents and at activities in her district, I was immediately re-

he DRS Wildcats of Woodmere suffered a heartbreaking 5−7 loss to the Shaare Torah Stars of Brooklyn on Monday in the Yeshiva League Championship after a long and hard fought battle. Wildcat pitcher Yitzy Schwalb did not walk a single batter and the game even went into 12 full innings before the undefeated Stars managed to pull away with a two run homer by MVP Max Antar to take the title. The Stars set the bar high for DRS in the bottom of the first with two runs. First Eliot Haddad knocked a single in between second and third. It was then that Bobby Matalon hit a ground ball near Wildcat pitcher Yitzy Schwalb. Schwalb threw the ball to first baseman Dani Schienman but a missed catch allowed Matalon to take two bases for a dead ball as Haddad advanced to third. With two outs Davey Haber knocked a single and Haddad ran across home. The next chopped single let Matalon score for an early 2−0 lead. The Wildcats came back strong in the top of the second with a solo homerun by Daniel Ash − his second of the season. Ash smashed the ball right out of the park and DRS began to chip away at the lead. Yoni Kadish was walked by Star pitcher Felix Harari. DRS pitcher Yitzy Schwalb was at bat and racked up an out with a fly ball catch but Kadish advanced to second. A groundball single by Eitan Dechter allowed Kadish to advance to third and a sacrifice RBI by Yitzchack Ginsberg tied the game up 2−2 as Kadish ran home. The game of cat and mouse continued as Shaare Torah scored another run in the bottom of the second when Issac Mizrahi hit an RBI single which allowed for Abie Shalom to score on a set up from his triple in the prior atbat. The pressure did not seem to faze Wildcat pitcher Schwalb as he managed to shut out the Stars for the remainder of the inning. DRS tied the game up and even took the lead in the top of the fourth once again proving to the

undefeated Stars that this win would not be easy. Doron Youseflaleh knocked a single followed by Daniel Ash’s double. Yoni Kadish was walked to first for a second time which loaded the bases. In great scoring position, DRS pitcher Schwalb knocked a single and Youseflaleh tied the game up as he ran across home. With the bases still loaded, Eitan Dechter also hit a single but Daniel Ash was thrown out at home. It was then up to DRS outfielder Yitzchak Ginsberg who did not disappoint, hitting a single that allowed for Kadish to run home and for DRS to jump out to a 4-3 lead. Just moments after DRS took the lead the tables turned once again. In the bottom of the fourth Nissim Faham chopped a single followed by a triple by Sol Setton which gave Faham some breathing room as he ran home to tie the game 4−4.

teams were at a standstill. It seemed as though no team could secure the victory with a run. For the next four innings both teams remained scoreless partially because of some strong defensive play including an exchange of two powerful 1-2-3 frames in the ninth. The heat was on for Shaare Torah in the 12th inning after they pulled off yet another 1-2-3 in the top. In the bottom of the 12th the Stars found themselves in scoring position once more but this time DRS could not stop them. The inning started with a base hit by Eliot Haddad. It was then that Max Antar

After the walk-off homer the Shaare Torah Stars were presented their trophy which was handed to Shaare Torah’s principal, Richard Altave who then presented the award to Stars’ coach, Ed Caston. Altave was honored to present the award to the coach and was thrilled that Shaare Torah won its first Yeshiva League championship. Altave, who happens to be a graduate of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach (1974) said that he was intrigued to see the Stars go head to head with a Five Towns team, his alma mater. “Shaare Torah is my team now and I totally rooted for them,” he said. “But I will tell you if we had to play anybody in any team in the

Yeshiva League it would be DRS because I ﬁnd them to have the best “midot” (ethics and behavior.) They are the most sportsmen-like team in the league and their coach, Larry Gross, is an incredible human being. We couldn’t have played a better team.” Shaare Torah coach Ed Caston was relieved after the game was over, especially after knowing that his team was on the edge of completing a perfect season. “Ever since we went 4-0 the notion of a perfect season and going undefeated was bold and actually carrying it out is an amazing feeling,” he said. “Just to think we accomplished this every break went our way until the seventh inning of this game when what appeared to be the game winning hit turned out to be a phenomenal play on their part by forcing that play. For that one moment then I thought maybe, just maybe, it’s not going to be our day but I did not let that be a driving factor.” In reference to the Wildcats, Caston had nothing but the utmost respect for the team. “Hats off to them,” he said. “They had great defense and some tremendous plays and their pitcher was consistent around the plate.” Despite the heartbreaking loss for DRS, coach Larry Gross was not disappointed in his team and felt that his team had an incredible season. “It was the craziest softball game I have ever coached in 15 years,” he said. “It was a great year. We played awesome, they played great and they deserved to win today.” Gross had no regrets. “We played hard. My pitcher pitched great − 12 innings he didn’t walk one batter which is unbelievable. You had the two best teams there and somebody had to win and somebody had to lose.” As for next season, coach Gross said he’ll worry about that next year.

Shul Little League Ends Season, 50 Teams had Great Fun By Natasha Domanski

he time for summer camp, watermelon dripping down your chin and running through the sprinkler has officially dawned for the youth of The Five Towns and Far Rockaway as the Synagogue Little League season came to a close this past Sunday. The some of the closing games were held at the Number Two School in Inwood, with the fourth and sixth grade teams playing in the afternoon under the brilliant sun. Surrounded by their parents and fellow athletes, the Youth League members conducted close scoring games. The fourth grade team, the Shaaray Tefila Thunderballs were reigning champions, winning against the KBYT-C Red Shul in the 6th inning, 4 -3. The sixth grade’s Shaaray Tefila A team, coached by Charles Levine, defeated the Shaaray Tefila B team 1-0 in the 6th inning with an RBI single, ending their season with a 6-1 record. “The pitching duo of Yehuda Levine and Benny Miller combined today, producing only a two-hitter,” Coach Levine said proudly. “It’s been a good season. We lost our first game to this team in

the regular season so it feels good to come out on top.” Motti Fox, the coach for the sixth grade B team, and assistant coach for the fourth graders’ team, the Thunderballs, said despite it being the end of the season most of the kids in the league will still see each other, mentioning that

upon leaving, both teams were heading to one of the boy’s Bar Mitzvahs. “These kids have been playing together since ﬁrst or second grade,” Fox said. “I think the league is a good outlet for the kids and therapeutic for the families, really. We have great coaches, and it’s just a really healthy league.” Fox also

mentioned that getting to watch the kids grow up is a treat that the league provides, and something the parents enjoy, which was evident by the ample amount of onlookers. “After this some of the kids go on to play hardball, but most head off to concentrate on their studies,” he added. The fourth grader’s game had the crowd roaring as the game started with quick runs from both teams, and a double hit in the third inning from the Thunderballs. The game ended with the Thunderballs’ pitcher, Aron Fox, striking out the last Red Shul batter with a runner on third, securing their score of 4-3, and their season record of 5-0. Their other pitcher, Simcha Spirn threw at the top of the game. “The kids are in their fourth year and have won the championship all four years,” Thunderballs’ Coach Baruch Aryeh said. “They have only lost two games in four years of Little league.” Jeff Kunin, who’s son Menachem plays on the Red Shul team, aid this year was more professional than ever for the kids who got to play under the guidance of hired umpires, a change from the previous umpires who were former players

in the little league. “It’s just a lot of fun for them and for us,” Kunin said. The Commissioner for the league, Paul Silverstein said that this league has been professionally conducted for over 25 years now, and each year the passion of coaches and parents grow. “Our main objective to is keep the kids interested and committed,” Silverstein said. “We promote good behavior and sportsmanship to help the kids become wellrounded individuals.” The league is divided between children from ﬁrst to eighth grade. They host over 50 teams with at least 15 kids per team. Umpires are from the community and thoroughly know the crafted rules. Silverstein said the league usually hosts girls’ teams, as well, but they didn’t have enough young ladies sign up this year. He’s hoping that will change for the 2013 season. Coaches celebrated with their players after the games concluded on a team basis. “This is a nice community program,” Silverstein said. “We also have a very popular basketball league, but amongst all the youth activities the little league is always the most celebrated.”

Bagelry-

t’s hard to walk a few blocks around The Five Towns without finding at least one bagel place for your morning breakfast run. With such a large variety in the area, residents can satisfy every type of taste bud. Whether you prefer a plain bagel, a toasted bagel, or a funky cinnamon raisin or Black Russian bagel, The Standard’s intrepid tasting panel agrees that all the local bagel options are pretty good. We tested and rated eight bagel places in The Five Towns and made our comparisons based upon plain bagels available at kosher and non-kosher establishments even though most places have many different flavors and options. Those options along with toppings and stuffings can make a significant difference in a bagel’s ultimate taste but we opted to evaluate based on classic regular bagels to even out the playing field. Bagels were originally exclusively a Jewish bread but have long since crossed-over into the American culinary mainstream so much so that bagels can be found even in mass-market establishments such as Dunkin’ Donuts. Bagels are a staple for many a breakfast and lunch and because they are such an important part of our daily cuisine we ventured forth to review our area’s best bagels.

Bagel Boss – $0.95 Each − $10.00 per Dozen Bagel Boss claims that their food is something its customers will “always remember” but the panel seemed to feel

Best

$0.90 each - $10.60 per dozen Bagelry’s plain bagel is our panel’s honorable mention for best crust. Our panel felt that while the inside of the bagel was lacking in taste, the crust was excellent which saved the bagel. Besides the crust however, our panel felt that this bagel didn’t have anything else special about it. Bagelry, located in Cedarhurst, specializes in bagels and offers customers a variety including pumpernickel, sesame, everything, whole-wheat and cinnamon raisin bagels. Bagelry is located at 507 Central Ave in Cedarhurst. (516) 295-1222 “Classic looking bagel. Excellent crust. But I’m not grooving on the inside of the bagel, I ﬁnd it to be very bland. I think the crust is way better than the inside.” “It’s a little bit of a bland taste. It wasn’t salty, it wasn’t sweet. I think it was the right amount of crunchy but it didn’t taste that fresh, in my opinion.” “I think this is the best crust we’ve had, but I think the inside is very bland. It doesn’t have much unique ﬂavor to it.” “It’s very bland, there wasn’t any taste to it. The crust was really great, it is the perfect crunchy crust you want

Bagel Island – $0.90 each - $7.80 per dozen Bagel Island made our panel’s top three favorites and not only that, but it’s also kosher. Our panel felt that Bagel Island’s plain bagel was the best looking out of all that were tasted, while also having a great texture and crunchy crust. Bagel Island is located at Rockaway Turnpike, Bagel Island offers much more than just bagels. Their menu includes salads, soups, wraps, sandwiches, pizza and desserts. A very affordable menu, all items are under $10.00, except for Nova Lox, which weighs in at $27.99 per pound. Bagel Island is located at 480 Rockaway Turnpike, Lawrence. (516) 239-6122. Kosher, check certification. “I think this is the prettiest looking bagel. It’s bronze and well-done. It wins the beauty contest. It’s pleasant. There is nothing extraordinary happening but it’s very pleasant. It’s not too doughy, I like the crust.” “I’m not a big fan of sweet bagels but if I were this would definitely be the place to get it. Texture was great, crust was crunchy enough. It was soft, it tasted fresh. I liked it.” “I liked the crust. I liked the overall flavor of the bagel. I think it was a good slightly above average bagel.” “I normally prefer saltier bagels, but I really enjoyed the sweetness of this one. I thought it had a nice buttery taste that I haven’t tasted in the other bagels. I thought it was a really great crust and inside had a perfect amount of doughiness. I really like this one.” “Beautiful crust. Great flavor.”

Bagelo$1.00 Each − $12.00 per Dozen Bagelo is famous in The Five Towns for its large breakfast menu, deli sandwiches and wraps and their bagels are pretty good too! The panel felt that the bagels were very attractive and it had a subtle salty taste which is more appropriate for their salty spreads like olive cream cheese or vegetable cream cheese. Bagelo is located at 26 Franklin Avenue in Hewlett and 1023 Broadway in Woodmere. (516) 295-1879 (Hewlett). (516) 569-7052. “This is a very ﬂuffy looking bagel. This one is a little more on the saltier side, which I like. Saltier bagels go better with nova and lox. It’s kind of doughy but it’s a good overall texture.” “I thought it was a little too soft personally for my taste. I think it could have been a little bit crispier. I thought it was an average bagel.” “I liked the taste. It was saltier instead of sweet like some of the other bagels. I think it was fairly average.” “I like the saltiness of it but I thought it was too doughy, it could have been crispier. It also looked on the smaller side.” “I think it was salty and had a good taste. It’s an average bagel.”

and you’re satisﬁed.” “I think it’s beautiful. It was a little too ﬂuffy so I dislike that part but overall it’s a very good bagel.”

Magic Bagels $0.95 Each − $10.00 per Dozen The panel has voted and the best bagels in the Five Towns are from Magic Bagels! Magic Bagels’ slogan is “The best tasting bagels anywhere,” and we agree. Their bagels are baked fresh throughout the day and they are also pretty good looking. Magic Bagels also has a wide selection of different bagels to choose from like their poppy, sesame, salt, everything, whole wheat, pumpernickel, egg, onion, French toast, cinnamon raisin and bialys. Magic Bagels is located at 1749 Peninsula Boulevard in Hewlett. (516) 374-3384. Penin “The “Th bagel has an appropriate amount of suntan for the t summer. Nice golden glow.

Gotta Getta Bagel – $1.00 each - $12 per dozen, 6 extra included for free with a dozen Located in Woodmere, Gotta Getta Bagel offers kosher bagels. Our panel found their plain bagel to be on the sweeter side and chewy. While our panel enjoyed the size of the bagel, there wasn’t much else that our panel loved about this bagel. Gotta Getta Bagel offers a variety of bagel toppings, breakfast items, sandwiches and catering. Kosher, check certiﬁcation. Gotta Getta Bagel is located at1039 Broadway in Woodmere. (516) 569-6628. Gottagettabagel@gmail.com “This is a seriously sized bagel but it’s also a little pale-faced. Kind of needs some fresh air and sunlight. It’s also on the sweet side. I would call this an average inoffensive bagel.” “I thought it was a little too sweet for my taste. It also didn’t taste very fresh to me. I’d say it’s subpar as far as bagels.” “I think it’s too sweet. It’s too chewy. It doesn’t taste that fresh.” “I like the way it tasted but I think it’s too sweet for a bagel. I also think the crust is too chewy but it was still satisfying.” “I think it tasted sweet. It has good ﬂavor but it’s too big.”

$1.00 each - $12.00 per dozen Toddy’s plain bagel is tied for second best kosher she bagel by our panel. Our panel found Toddy’s plain bagel to be sweet, with the appropriate amount of doughiness and crunchiness in the crust. While our panel enjoyed the flavor the bagel was slightly too chewy. Toddy’s offers a wide range of bagels while also giving customers many other breakfast and brunch choices. Toddy’s is located at 436 Central Ave in Cedarhurst. (516) 295-1999. Kosher, check certification. “I’d say it’s a very classic looking bagel. It has sweetness to it. I like the doughiness of the inside and I think that the crust is the appropriate crunchiness.” “I thought it was very simple. I didn’t think there was anything special about it. I think it’s a little too chewy. It didn’t taste that fresh to me.” “I think it’s a little too chewy. I like the flavor it’s a little different than your average bagel. It was too hard to rip apart.” “It was definitely too hard to rip apart. I like the inside way better than the outside. The crust was too doughy, there wasn’t enough differentiation between the crust and the inside of the bagel.” “It’s not so crunchy but I like the flavor. It tastes a little sweet, I love that.”

Best Overall Winner: Magic Bagels in Hewlett Best Kosher Bagel Winner: Bagel Island on Rockaway Turnpike Best Crust Honorable Mention: Bagelry in Cedarhurst

Island Bagel Bar$0.35 Each −$10.00 per Dozen Island Bagel Bar comes in at a close second for best bagels in The Five Towns. Our panel particularly enjoyed the hefty size and crispiness of the exterior. They also seemed to agree that Island Bagel Bar offers its customers a larger-than-average size that will leave you full, even after one bite! The bagels tasted super fresh and The Standard gives it two thumbs up. Island Bagel Bar is located on 284 Burnside Avenue in Lawrence. (516)-371-3357. “It’s a hunky bagel. I like the crispiness of the crust, its good crispiness. It’s a very pleasant taste and just the right amount of chewiness, not too much, not too little.” “It tasted very fresh like they just made it. I also think it’s a very attractive bagel, very big for its size. I thought it could be just a little bit crunchier.” “I think it’s a very ﬁlling bagel. It has a good ﬂavor (even though it’s plain). I like the chewiness of it but it could be a little less chewy.” “I thought the crust could have been a little bit crispier. I thought it had pretty good taste but it could have been tastier. It’s a hearty bagel you take a bite of it

A1 damage as the larger club (formerly Westbury). “There’s only 26 units there compared to 250 units at the big club so it’s not going to take that much of an effort to get the small club open,” he said, adding that a lot of recalls from potential renters have already been coming in. “There’s not many times when oceanfront cabanas become available,” he said. Sunny Atlantic has a 10 to 12-year waiting list.

“When oceanfront cabanas become available they tend to go pretty quickly,” he said. In 2000, Taub purchased the club from his grandfather and then, in 2002, he and his wife moved to Hewlett, where they currently reside with two children. He said he likes owning beachfront real estate over his other retail properties that he currently owns in Queens. “You can take a chair on the beach and just sit and view the world instead of looking at concrete,” he

Arrests For Fraud, Theft, Shoplifting CONTINUED FROM P. A3 than one victim for the purpose of “cleansing through prayer” at a church or other location and then told victims the money would be returned. Another victim claimed to have paid Lee $160,000, which was also never recovered. Morris County detectives worked with the Nassau County Police force to arrest Lee, who

was transported to Morris County jail on Tuesday, according to the release. The release states that she was charged with theft by deception, theft by failure to make a required disposition of property received, money laundering, failure to pay taxes and failure to ﬁle a tax return. Her bail was set at $75,000. Osmina Guzman, 45, of Far Rockaway, was arrested Mon-

said. Although the scenery may be more serene while working oceanfront real estate, Taub said his job is still challenging and time consuming. “This is an 11-month-a-year job,” he said. “As soon as we close down for the summer, the next day we start preparing for the upcoming season,” he said. “We rebuild, we refurbish, we repaint. We replace anything that’s rotten that needs work.” He said that the constant work cycle at Sunny Atlantic is one of the major reasons why that club didn’t get as heavily damaged during Hurricane Irene as others in Atlantic Beach.

Taub said he likes living in The Five Towns with his family. Aside from it being close to his job, he said the endless amounts of activities for children here are great. “The facilities, parks and recreation are fabulous, and it’s local to beaches, local to shopping, local to almost anything that you could ever want,” he said, adding that it is also just a short train ride to the city. As far as real estate advice goes, Taub said the best advice he can give to any young professional looking to boost their career in the ﬁeld is to “buy now.” “Between the interest rates and the prices, now is the right time to buy,” he said.

Dana Taub and Howard at the Sunny Atlantic Beach Club.

day after she allegedly stole over $42,000 worth of money, jewelry and silverware from two homes in Woodmere and one home in Cedarhurst where she worked as a housekeeper. Guzman was charged with three counts of grand larceny. On Friday, June 15th, Carl L. Piro, Jr., a 36-year-old from Malverne, and David Vega, a 30-yearold from Hempstead, were both arrested for shoplifting from Lowes located at 253-01 Rockaway Turnpike in North Woodmere. On Monday, June 18th, John D. Jordan, a 56-year-old from Far

Rockaway, was arrested for shoplifting at Loehmann’s, located at 1296 Broadway in Hewlett. Criminal mischief and vandalism rounded out this week in crime for The Five Towns. Over the last few weeks, many items have gone missing from cars parked on Five Towns roadways, and the Fourth Precinct in Hewlett suggests that all residents should keep their car doors locked. Most of these crimes happen when automobile doors are left unlocked, according to a spokesperson from the Fourth Precinct. On Thursday, June 14th, an un-

known person(s) broke the passenger front window of a vehicle while it was parked in a driveway on Fiesta Court in Hewlett and between 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 17th and 2:30 p.m. on Monday, June 18th, an unknown person(s) cut through a screen door and removed a guitar from a residence located on Cumberland Place in Lawrence. This week, however, reported theft from automobiles appears to be down, as there were only two reported incidents. On Friday, June 15, around 1:00 a.m., an unknown person(s) removed

items from the glove compartment of a vehicle parked on Inip Drive in Inwood. Between 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 17, an unknown person(s) removed tools from a vehicle while it was parked on Bayswater Boulevard, also in Inwood. The Fourth Precinct of the Nassau County Police Department urges anyone who has any knowledge of the above crimes to contact them at (516) 573-6400. And, as always, contact your local police department or call 911 in case of an emergency.

lot of people. I’m doing a person-to-person basis on a larger scale than people have seen candidates do for a long time. I’m combining the best of old fashioned, traditional means of getting out the vote with new media by using Facebook, Twitter and our website.” Becker explained his campaign strategy as delivering ﬂyers, making phone calls and “all the other things you would do in a campaign.” Even though both have been campaigning consistently for two years, the candidates agree that next week’s primary will have a low-showing of voters because the community is used to having primaries in September, not June. They also do not think that this year being an election year will have an effect on the number of people voting next week.

Trustee: Irving Langer: 455 votes Village Justice: Donald Buchalter: 430 votes “This was an excellent, excellent turnout for an uncontested election,” Dave Smollett, Village Administrator for the Village of Lawrence, said. “For an uncontested election, this was one of the larger turnouts.” Trustee C. Simon Felder said that the victory the village saw on Tuesday in an uncontested election was an unprecedent-

Support for Scaturro comes from leaders far and wide. Former U.S. Congressman John LeBoutillier calls him “one of the best candidates in the nation” and “an honest, conservative Republican” in his article titled End the Political Thuggery in Nassau County: Vote Scaturro for Newsmax. Scaturro received a letter of support on his run for Congress from U.S. Senator Tom Coburn in which Coburn applauds Scaturro’s work on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Gregg Nunziata, former Chief Nominations Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and Judiciary and Homeland Security Policy Counsel to the Senate Republican Policy Committee, wrote a column in which he agreed with Coburn in support for Scaturro and said “I don’t know Mr. Becker, but I do know Frank, and I know that he has a record of service for which conservatives should be thankful.”

Support As the days before the primary dwindle, support for each candidate has been growing. Anthony Santino, 4th District Councilmember for The Hempstead Town Board, said he “enthusiastically and wholeheartedly” endorses Becker. “He’s a proven go-getter. He’s certainly well poised to win [McCarthy’s] seat back for the Republicans in November. I urge all Republicans to come out and vote for Fran Becker, he is the one who can take the seat back.” Cedarhurst Mayor Andrew Parise is also supporting Becker. “That’s who the Republican Party is endorsing so that’s the direction I’m going.”

ed victory. He said that usually local governments like Lawrence’s generally don’t get more than 70 or 80 people to come out and vote. “This was an uncontested election and we got 500 people to vote,” Felder said. “I want to congratulate not only those who ran for ofﬁce but the citizens of Lawrence. This is the ﬁrst time in my recollection, since I’ve been involved in village government for the last 25 years, that the citizens of the commu-

Our recommendations on where to go and what to do

Inspiration It is this record of service that encouraged Scaturro to run against Becker with the hopes of then facing McCarthy. “I care about this country,” Scaturro said. “I’m stepping up because I’m not satisﬁed with a lot of leadership that has been offered. This is about all the people who are out there who are suffering. I’m running for reasons that have to do with the people, the country, the next chapter, great American experience.” The idea to try to win back McCarthy’s seat for the Republicans occurred to Scaturro during the 2008 presidential election when it became clear that President Obama was going to be elected. “I

had a sense the country was really going to be headed on the wrong path and I thought, you know what, for the ﬁrst time in years, I thought this seat would be winnable.” Becker’s inspiration came from his children and grandchildren. “We’re in a situation where government in Washington and current Administration has added $5 trillion in new debt to the country which is on the futures of our children and grandchildren.”

The Issues Both candidates main concern lies with cutting government spending in order to help improve the state of living for Nassau County residents. “We’re impacted by runaway spending in Washington,” Becker said. “First thing we need to do is something that helps the country. We need to stop the spending, work to create jobs and grow economy and that is the most important thing that needs to be done in Washington at this point and that will help us all.” Scaturro also intends on cutting government spending. “I think that we need to work toward a balanced budget and we need to adopt rules to cap debt. Cutting spending is the aspect of ﬁscal responsibility that politicians don’t like to talk about but we need an honest discussion.” Becker and Scaturro agree that a new direction needs to be taken in regards to healthcare. While Becker promises “to vote for a full repeal of Obamacare and enact free-market based reforms in its

nity have shown such an interest about what happens in our community.” Felder said that even though the election was uncontested, it was a good way to show that the citizens are giving this administration a mandate to continue it’s good work.

WOODSBURGH Trustee: Lee Israel: 15 votes Trustee: Edmund Mukamal: 16 votes Trustee Lee Israel, who re-

ceived 15 votes, said he is truly optimistic about the future for the village of Woodsburgh and appreciates the trust and support that was provided in his re-election. “I look forward to the opportunity to again serve the Village of Woodsburgh and its residents as Trustee,” he said. “As a uniﬁed board we will work hard under the leadership of Mayor Schlaff to improve the quality of life and continue to make a better Woodsburgh.”

Becker and Scaturro: Similarities and Differences By Deanna Del Ciello

hile there are many similarities between Republican candidate Francis Becker and Frank Scaturro, there are also many differences between the two. Becker was born and raised in Nassau County while Scaturro was born in New York City and raised in New Hyde Park after his parents moved when he was young. Becker’s education ended with his graduation from Hofstra University with a degree in Business Finance while Scaturro went on to attend University of Pennsylvania Law School after graduating from Columbia Univeristy with a degree in Political Science and History. Becker has had a longer political career. He was the ﬁrst elected representative of the 6th Legislative District in Nassau County, which includes Lynbrook, Malverne, North Lynbrook, most of Valley Stream and East Rockaway, south Rockville Centre and portions of North Valley Stream and Oceanside. He has been re-elected in his position by wide margins for ten consecutive terms. Scaturro’s political career involves serving as Counsel for the Constitution on the Senate Judiciary Committee for four years. According to his campaign website, he was a key aide on President Bush’s nominations of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito to the Su-

preme Court. Scaturro is also known as a whistle-blower for his efforts to revitalize President Ulysses S. Grant’s tomb. When he worked as a volunteer with the National Park Service, he noticed that the government agency assigned the role of taking care of the tomb was not performing its duty. He then founded a non-proﬁt organization, the Grant Monument Association, to serve as an outlet for citizen support for the monument and a source of education on the life and legacy of President Grant. By 1997, his many reports and memos were answered with a $1.8 million face-lift. Scaturro has also published multiple books and articles regarding history and law, is a visiting law professor at Hofstra Law School and is an Eagle Scout. One of the major differences between the two candidates can be seen through social media. If Facebook and Twitter are any indication on how the votes will fall on Tuesday, Becker is well in the lead with 2,401 likes on his Facebook page to Scaturro’s 1,733 and 1,188 followers on Twitter to his opponent’s 381. While Scaturro is lacking in the social media aspect of his campaign, he is well ahead of Becker money wise. According to the Federal Election Committee, Scaturro has raised $124,510 with $62,326 on hand. Comparatively, Becker has only raised $45,559 with $16,709 on hand.

COMMON SENSE

Pick-Up My Recycling And Stop Austerity In Europe CONTINUED FROM P. A6 easily turn into political turmoil and the possibility of the rise of totalitarianism could easily repeat itself. Let us not forget that after World War I, Germany was put in an economic position of extreme austerity to pay back war reparations. This lead to the rise of Nazism, Fascism and on the other side of the political curve, Communism and all of the subsequent horrors that these systems enforced on peoples, leading to World War II, Korea, the Cold War, etc. And this was even before the Crash of 1929 which only exacerbated the situation.

However, it also showed that at a very early time, that we lived in a world economy and that there were little protections, economically, from the events taking place in other parts of the world. There are those who will say that these are different times. They will say that the proliferation of media and the internet make it harder for extreme dictatorships to take power. That would be fooling ourselves. China still remains a power to reckon with. Russia under Putin seems to be sliding back very quickly to the kind of totalitarianism seen during the Communists. Democracies throughout Europe are threatened by

economic instability in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Cyprus. It would be easy for us in America to sit back and say it cannot affect us here. It is affecting us now and the stock market volatility is just one sign of how. Since we are a world economy now and what happens in the Eurozone directly affects our shaky economic recovery, it is time for the Obama Administration to forcefully push Europe to free up moneys to support the banks in Europe and get those economies moving again. It will be good for Europe economically and politically and good for the Unites States economy as well.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Words to Live By CONTINUED FROM P. A6 ophy. Higher education is wonderful. It should, however, come with a necessary and practical function. Even I recognize that -- and I could be a student for life. At one point, I toyed with going back to graduate school. Already holding two master’s degrees, my husband was less than pleased with my idea, even though I swore this additional degree served a purpose. He did not buy it. “Earning graduate degrees is not a hobby,” he said. “You want to go back? Get a sponsor.” That’s when I came up with my idea – I was going to get a corporate sponsor to pay for my education. The concept was that I would wear a company’s paraphernalia and logo on campus every day for a set number of hours. That would include the cafeteria, the library and anywhere else I went. As a person with little to no shame, using myself a human billboard made complete sense. And however long it took me to complete the degree would be the length of the contract with said sponsor. People thought it was the craziest idea I had ever come up with while I thought it was my best idea

yet. And despite all of my excitement, I never went through with it. I had another child instead. As one’s education becomes more and more specialized, basic fundamentals and foundations of being a well-rounded individual often get lost. It is not a criticism but rather a reality. The same way I no longer remember how to determine the area of a triangle (and who really cares?) is the same way others cannot recall that Walt Whitman’s “O’ Captain, My Captain” is about Abraham Lincoln. However, if you realize you never learned this information in the ﬁrst place, that is where the gaps in your education become upsetting. Sufﬁce it to say that when a close friend of mine with a successful medical practice realized that he had no knowledge of history – world or American – he was devastated. “I know nothing about history,” he told me. I imagined he had been exaggerating, until he said, “And I just heard about the Korean War – that was terrible!” I burst out in laughter. It was possibly the funniest thing I had ever heard. “I am going to learn something new about history every day,” he continued. “That’s a great idea,” I said, bare-

ly able to contain my giggles. “And you know what else?” he asked. “Did you know about those Japanese internment camps after World War II?” Oh man, I thought. I told him that yes: I knew about the camps. “Well, who else knew?” he said. I promised him that Japanese Americans knew all about it, but he ignored me. “That was also terrible!” he replied. Tears streamed down my face as someone I know to be incredibly intelligent continued to sound like a bumbling idiot. It’s one thing not to know something and a completely other thing to make a public service announcement about it. “Teach me something right now,” he said. “Okay,” I replied. “What about the Policy of Appeasement?” Before he could ask what that was, I peripherally explained some of its details, making sure to include that Hitler and Chamberlain were the main players. But before I could get too far, he had just one question: “And who was Chamberlain?” Here are two new life lessons: high school doesn’t teach crap after all and it’s a blessing that doctors do not need to know anything about world history to be great in their ﬁeld.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. A7 minded of how Mr. Becker did not attend the last meeting of the Valley Stream Community Association where the main speaker was a geomatic expert who completely discredited the 2009 flood maps instituted by FEMA, and which have severely damaged a significant number of Mr. Becker’s constituents. These constituents are still paying county taxes based upon assessments which ignore the fact that the flood maps have totally obliterated the market values of homes belonging to Mr. Becker’s constituency. It seems to me that Mr. Becker would want to hear the scientific reasons why these maps should be rescinded and tax assessments, ignoring the effects of these maps on home market values, should be changed to offer some sort of relief to the “victims” of these maps. Mr. Becker was not at that meeting. Frank Scaturro was and spoke with the expert that evening. Of course, Mrs. McCarthy was not there either. Her

SNEAK

representative was there, so it is not an exact example of the pot calling the kettle black. A couple of months ago, Mr. Becker conducted a meeting of a committee of the Nassau County Legislature. The meeting focused on the problem of the FEMA flood maps. The meeting was sparsely attended. The meeting might have been more significant if Mr. Becker had conducted the meeting three yeas earlier, when he first became aware of the FEMA flood map problem, and if he did not wait until an election year to surface with such a lame effort to help FEMA flood map “victims.” Just two weeks ago, Mr. Becker’s colleague in the County Legislature, Howard J. Kopel, wrote an article endorsing Fran Becker and demeaning Mr. Scaturro’s experience. What is most interesting and should be of concern to Mr. Kopel’s constituents, is that Kopel’s endorsement of Becker is predicated upon Mr. Becker’s grandfather being a former congressman, and Mr. Becker’s family history. It is extraordi-

Grant has no campaign contributors, a tendency toward outbursts of profanity and a snowball’s chance in hell – until he lures recently ﬁred alternativeweekly reporter Phil Campbell (Jason Biggs) to run his campaign. Phil may be a political

nary that in a democracy where Mr. Kopel holds an elective position that he takes a stand and makes an endorsement of a rationale that is an embarrassment to the integrity of the political structure, as created by the founding fathers. Mr. Kopel’s use of Becker family history and accomplishments could easily be used as a justiﬁcation for the creation of dynasties and royal families. Mr. Becker is correct when he says that McCarthy should not be reelected. However, he is incorrect on his view as to who should be the representative. At the very least, Mr. Scaturro, who certainly has the academic and work credentials to do the job, should have the opportunity to be the representative. I cannot see how he could do less or worse than Becker or McCarthy. Republicans on Primary Day have an opportunity to make meaningful change in Nassau County and Washington, D.C.

ambam Mesivta’s Class of 2012 held its graduation celebration on Monday at Congregation Beth Sholom in Lawrence. Seniors Matthew Bach and Dov Herzberg led the lively ceremony with a projector setup, used for their endless slew of jokes and entertaining anecdotes. Each one of the school’s 37 graduates received an award that evening – for academics, midos (outstanding character), chessed (good deeds) and athletics. The tightknit group of graduates took the time to thank their mentors and teachers, and each one of them received a pie with his own photo on it during the banquet that followed the ceremony. Many of Rambam’s graduates will be attending yeshivot in Israel in the fall and then, upon their return to the United States, they will be attending prestigious universities like Brandeis, New York University, Princeton, Yeshiva University and Stony Brook University to name a few.

Republican Congressional Primary Tuesday As Becker and Scaturro Reprise 2010 Tussle CONTINUED FROM P. B6 place,” Scaturro offers a broader plan for voters, saying he “will not support measure that compromise the high quality of care that American receive or stiﬂe the application of life-saving breakthroughs in medical technology.” Scaturro said “meaningful health care reform can be

achieved at a lower cost to consumers without compromising the health of patients or bankrupting our country.” Both candidates have stated their position on Israel, agreeing that the country is one of the most, if not the most, important ally to the United States. “Our alliance is not only a strategic one but also a spiritual

one,” Becker’s campaign website states. “Israel needs our assurance that the United States will be with her in her efforts to defend against terrorist attacks and the threat of nuclear annihilation from her enemies.” Scaturro explained his position on Israel by saying he’s “a big believer of peace through strength.” “We should make it clear that if

Iran doesn’t halt what it’s going to do, Israel will do what it deems necessary for survival and we are going to support that.” While the candidates seem to line up closely with one another on many issues, the primary on Tuesday is a Republican-Conservative primary, meaning it is possible that one candidate wins the Republican nomination while the other wins the Conservative. Becker has his name on both primaries, while Scaturro’s only appears on the Republican’s. Even though his name is missing from

the Conservative ballot, he is asking voters to write his name in. Becker does not anticipate the nomination being split. “I anticipate the support of people I have represented for a long time.” Scaturro said that if the nomination is split, the “Republican nominee will be the one to contest McCarthy.”

Redistricting One of the major differences between this primary and the one held in 2010 is the redistricting that occurred in March. In-
