While the total votes went down for both candidates, this time around Becker defeated Scaturro 55 percent to 44 percent. Voter turn-out decreased from the 2010 primary, possibly due to the earlier nature of the primary this time around. Even so, both candidates’ percentages grew from two years

Crammed between glossy store fronts, hidden on side streets and in the depths of office buildings are the artists and art sellers of The Five Towns. Down these hallways and secluded in these corners are colors stretched across canvases from artists around the world and around the corner. There are replicas and there are originals and there is something for everyone. The easiest gallery to find, located on Central Avenue in Cedarhurst, is Central Galleries owned by Jeff Beja, who has been the owner since the gallery started in Brooklyn over 27 years ago. Here, customers can find original work from more than 30 nationally and internationally known artists. “The gallery specializes in five rotating one man exhibits,” Beja said, so there is always a different artist being featured. Currently, the artist is Charles Fazzino who cre-

ates 3-D art that hangs in frames just like a painting. According to Beja, Central Galleries is one of the leading art galleries on Long Island because of its size. While the gallery is not very wide, it is rather deep and this extra space means more room for Beja to bring in paintings and original work that range anywhere from $150 to $25,000 with the majority of paintings falling between $1,000 and $3,000. “We have the absolute biggest selection of artists with the cheapest prices,” Beja said. Beja began selling artwork when he was 13 years old with his brother on the streets of Brooklyn. Since then, his business has expanded to include custom framing.

County Executive Edward Mangano has asked county government department heads to cut expenses by another 3.5 percent, five days after the state legislature declined to approve more borrowing, according to a memo distributed by Eric C. Naughton, Director of the Budget. The cuts are to be outlined by all the department heads in the Nassau as directed by Naughton, and sent in by this Friday to be evaluated and altered to meet the budget needs for the 2012 salary line expenses. Department heads were told to select positions that must be cut, as well as detailing how their departments will be affected with increased caseloads, program reductions, decreased hours of operation and increased overtime for the remaining staff. “This will allow the County to plan for the impact and additional costs that may occur as a result of layoffs,” Mangano stated. Precisely how much money will be saved is unclear, along with when the layoffs would begin. “County Executive Mangano spent Wednesday in meetings with County stakeholders,” Deputy County Executive Tim Sullivan said. “This is an internal memo and work in progress as the administration is in the process of modifying Nassau’s fiscal plan.” The Nassau County Press Office confirmed that this will be the third round of layoffs for county employees in the past year. Nearly 130 employees were laid off last June and more than 260 lost their jobs in December. The county’s cuts stem in part from an ongoing deadlock battle between Repub-

July 4 Means More than just the Beach and Barbeques th

By Deanna Del Ciello

nce a year, Americans are given time to think back to our country’s origins. The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, honors the birth of the United States and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It’s a day commonly associated with parades and picnics, fireworks and fairs, cookouts and concerts, family and friends, and a reason to fly the American flag.

History As the majority of Americans spend the day cooking, eating and drinking, it is important to take a moment to pause and remember the history involved with the celebration. The Declaration of Indepen-

dence marks the point in the American Revolution, the political upheaval during the 18th century of the 13 colonies in North America joining together to break free from the British Empire, when the colonies declared independence from Great Britain. This legal separation took place on July 2, 1776 when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After congress voted for independence, they turned their attention towards the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining their decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, ﬁnally approving it on July 4. While the Second Continen-

always celebrated Independence Day as July 4, which is the date

shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence.

When looking to promote national pride and unity, the Continental Congress adopted the national flag on June 14, 1777. “Resolved: that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” The first public Fourth of July even at the White House was held in 1804. The first Independence Day celebration west of the Mississippi occurred at Independence Creek and was celebrated by Lewis and Clark in 1805. Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on Independence Day, July 4, 1826. The names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were withheld from the pub-

County Cutting Another 3.5%, More Layoffs Coming CONTINUED FROM P. A1 licans and Democrats over the $41 million required by law to be paid for tax refunds to the county’s residential and commercial property owners. Democrats won’t vote for a bond issue to borrow the $41 million without GOP agreement to nonpartisan legislative redistricting, and county politics have been in a stalemate mode ever since May. The courts have mandated that the tax refunds be paid. Those funds will eiher have to come from borrowing or from savings achieved elsewhere in the

county budget. Mangano has also been busy with Nassau Interim Finance Authority Chairman Ron Stack, dealing with the repercussions of the Legislature’s failure to act upon the modified fiscal plan for the county’s budget deficit. “NIFA and I developed a fiscal stabilization plan for Nassau that held the line on property taxes while ending the County’s reliance on borrowing,” Mangano said. “It’s unfortunate that Democrat leaders derailed this plan and put politics ahead of our residents’ best interests. Working together, NIFA and I will do all

Becker Defeats Scaturro CONTINUED FROM P. A1 ago. In 2010, Becker won with 49 percent of the vote compared to Scaturro’s 36 percent. There was a third candidate in the 2010 primary, Don Maloney, who made up the difference with 13 percent of the vote. “I’m very thankful to the Republican electorate for seeing me as the best candidate,” Becker said. He is looking forward to taking on McCarthy in the fall. “It’s a

very important election, presidential and otherwise. I’m very happy to be part of that process.” Becker plans on stepping up his campaign in the coming months with more fundraising and meeting more people. “I’ll be doing much of what I’ve been doing.” While it has been announced that Becker won the Republican Primary and will challenge McCarthy in the fall, according to Nassau County Board of Elec-

in our power to address today’s actions in a responsible manner while protecting taxpayers. The County and NIFA will work cooperatively to reach a modiﬁed plan as expeditiously as possible.” Naughton said the layoffs are a necessary last resort due to a legislative vote that denied Mangano the authority to borrow the $41 million. The vote was split 10-9 with the Republicans in favor, and because borrowing requires 13 votes, three Democrats would have had to join the Republican majority, which the Democrats stood by their beliefs saying they won’t approve any new borrowing without a legislative redistricting plan that is fairer than one that Republicans had proposed.

Legislator Francis X. Becker (RLynbrook) said he has already received a handful of emails from residents in his district asking him to not cut funding for certain programs to which he replies that they need to convince the Democrats to comply so the funding can come from borrowing. “The reality is that people are injecting politics where they shouldn’t be,” he said. “Borrowing needs to be done to solve this problem and he (Mangano) is the ﬁrst person to actually have a plan.” Democratic Leader Kevan Abrahams’ (D-Hempstead) Spokesman Mike Florio said that Mangano is unfortunately putting the social services in the middle of this situation, again, to

deﬂect the criticisms coming to him for the budget deﬁcit. “He has blamed the Democrats, blamed NIFA, blamed the unions -- everyone, but himself,” Florio stated. Ryan Mulholland, the Director of Communications for the Civil Service Employees Association, Local 830 said the residents are already feeling the backlash of the cuts in social services, 911 services and even lacking crossing guards for kids in town. Mulholland said Child Protective Services’ agents are working at three times the expected level. They now have 40 to 45 cases to handle when 12 is the norm. “In social services we’ve already had to turn people away from lack of staff,” Mulholland said. “I also know for a fact that

people have been put on hold when calling 911 on a Saturday night because we can only staff two dispatchers.” Mulholland said he knows the lack of focus on public services derives directly from the Democrats and Republicans not being able to come to an agreement. Jerry Laricchiuta, President of the CSEA Local 830 also reafﬁrmed on their website that the organization believes that politics should not be mixed into government. “Who loses?” he asked. “The $40,000 a year county employee who did nothing wrong here. And once again -- the residents.” Laricchiuta also said that 3.5 percent cuts will most likely mean 100 more layoffs.

tions the Conservative Primary, which was held on the same day on the same ballot, was won by the write-in candidate 253 to 194 votes. As previously reported in The Standard, Scaturro’s name was missing from the Conservative ballot, but he was asking voters to write his name in. Although, Scaturro said if the nomination is split, the “Republican nominee will be the one to contest McCarthy.” While it is still unclear, it is possible that the two candidates will be challenging McCarthy in the fall. Scaturro told The Standard

that he will not make any public comment on the race until “returns are certiﬁed in the next couple of weeks.” “I’m going to wait and see what happened here exactly until I say anything about the race,” Scaturro said. McCarthy’s press representatives sent out a statement following the Tuesday’s primary: “Carolyn McCarthy will continue to work in a bipartisan way for economic opportunity, jobs, and to protect Medicare and Social Security for middle class families, small businesses, wom-

en and seniors. The people vying for her seat follow the Tea Party’s brand of no-compromise gridlock that threatens the middle-class and keeps choking our fragile economic recovery. We’re conﬁdent that Congresswoman McCarthy’s diverse array of supporters will help make this clear and simple choice known to all voters.” Becker said that he feels he will be able to defeat McCarthy in November. “I personally think that because of the way things are in the country today, people are fearful, they’ve had enough,

they truly want a real change for the future. I think Romney is going to be successful and I think I’m going to be successful too.” Becker also promises that if he defeats McCarthy he will do a better job of representing the interests of the residents in New York’s 4th Congressional District. “I’m very excited about this amazing opportunity to represent my community in Washington,” Becker said. “I think being there I will do a better job of reﬂecting their policies and beliefs and values as to how the government should be run.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. A7 the ‘party elite’, the conservative causes of less government and lower taxes take a back seat to the go-along to get-along mentality that serves so few! “Fancy Pants” Ivy-Leaguer... Mr. Becker couldn’t graduate Hofstra and if it weren’t for the family business, where would he be? No---- the Beckers have failed time and again to beat Carolyn McCarthy and voting for him again would be the very deﬁnition of insanity. As to Mr. Scaturro’s qualiﬁcations, I remind the readers that President Lin-

coln started from humble beginnings and was a self-taught lawyer, just as Mr. Scaturro raised himself up from humble beginnings, son of an Italian immigrant, boy scout and long time member of the local GOP. June 26, it’s time for a change, it’s time for Frank Scaturro to be the conservative/republican nominee for the 4th CD!”

that Scaturro has a sense of entitlement when it is Fran Becker who comes from a political family, when it is Fran Becker who says Frank hasn’t paid any dues which honestly belittles any credibility this paper may have had. As for these GOP ofﬁcials that have endorsed Becker, the wrath of the voter is upon them and they will feel the backlash, and it will hurt. I for one look forward to calling each and every one of them and bluntly asking “so you support resorting to baseless, photoshopping lies and accusations to “go-alongto-get-along”? Shame on you,

bate on the issues? Mr Becker dropped out of at least 2 debates. If he can’t handle a GOP debate how is he to handle a general election debate? The writer here is badly misinformed.” Yahoo commenter meganstevens504: “This endorsement spends more time attacking Frank Scaturro than it does citing reasons to support Becker. Honestly, how can anyone endorse Becker after he’s been ousted as LYING in desperation because residents and voters are fed up with the status quo Becker represent. How can anyone substantiate the claim

Saturday, June 23: From the Editorial Becker For Congress in June 22 issue: Facebook commenter Bill Maron: “What kind of a candidate is it that won’t attend a de-

shame on the pitiful writer that wrote this endorsement, Becker probably can’t even comprehend your ﬁnal reason to vote for him, it’s a policy issue, which we all know is over his head, but not ours.” Facebook commenter William J. Howe: “Good God the man blatantly lies and distorts facts. If I wanted Carolyn McCarthy to win, Becker would be the person to cast a ballot for. Btw, all the lies are about a lifelong conservative Republican. So much for honesty, integrity, and principles I guess, Ignore the conservative.

Brushes and Canvases Come to Life at Five Towns Art Galleries CONTINUED FROM P. A1 “We do top quality custom framing here,” Beja said, explaining that the business is really half art sales and half specialty custom framing. The gallery also offers custom framing of 350-yearold Tefillin, which are scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah and worn by observant Jews during weekday morning prayers, a service that Beja said has been very important to the community. While Central Galleries brings in art from around the world, PishPoshPaints gives customers art they provide themselves. Located on Franklin Avenue in Hewlett, PishPoshPaints manager David Weingarten can be found in a small office surrounded by paintings propped against walls and spread across flat surfaces. His business creates oil paintings on canvas from pictures that customers send in. “The experience is personalized for each customer,” Weingarten said. While PishPoshPaints deals with businesses such as pet stores and nursing homes, many orders come from individuals who send an email with a picture they own to the

business, and in 10 to 15 business days, a painting of that photo is rolled up in a tube and sent back to them. “All the paintings are handmade and on canvas,” Weingarten said. He helped start the business two years ago and has watched it grow into an international affair as orders and those who work for the business come from all around the world. And the business is still growing, according to Weingarten. “It’s going up and up. We’re consistently making a proﬁt,” Weingarten said. “The paintings make a great gift and the business is very attractive. We also try to work with customers as much as possible so we’re pretty ﬂexible on pricing.” PishPoshPaints has recently been featured on Groupon and similar sites that have helped bring in business for the company. Its prices range from $165 to $715 based on the size of the painting and how many people are featured in it. For Bocha Teichman, owner and teacher of Art Studio of The Five Towns on Frost Lane in Lawrence, the art that she’s selling is all her own. The studio where Teichman

teaches students ranging in ages from six to 96 has walls that have been covered with paint by her students’ hands and paint brushes. Slightly down the hall from her three teaching studios is a side room that acts as a kind of “back room” for her artwork that is on display just around the corner in The Coffee Bar on Central Ave. It is in this room that Teichman makes the most sales. “People come in here and they love the experience,” Teichman said. She has had her studio in this location for the past decade and usually sells anywhere from 10 to 20 paintings a year ranging from $350 to $1,800. She makes her living off of teaching. “Art is something people can learn,” Teichman, who spends half the week teaching and the other half painting, said. At her studio, her students are “purists” and paint with a limited color palette, a palette that uses only the primary colors. The students paint or sketch using images or props from around the studio. Teichman’s classes are small, with about seven to 10 people in each class, and last for 90 min-

utes. She plans on adding sculpting to the types of classes she offers. Owl Galleries located in the Malvin Mall in Cedarhurst offers a complete art experience, combining a framing center, ﬁne art gallery and teaching studio into one business. “It’s more than an art gallery, it’s an art center,” Eileen Michel, employee and mother of gallery owner Nick Michel, said. Here, people can purchase paintings from artists that have work hanging in the Museum of Modern Art, frame their work or take lessons in classes ranging from clay and ceramics to painting. The business started as an art gallery in 1967 and has since expanded to include its other aspects. Lessons are kept small, ranging from one person to 10 in each class, can last 10 to 30 weeks and cost anywhere from $25 to $85 per class. The paintings in the gallery are diverse and feature famous artists from around the world. Just as diverse are the prices, beginning at $200 up to museum collectibles.

Owner and teacher at Art Studio of The Five Towns Bocha Teichman sells her original work from her studio in Lawrence and in The Coffee Bar on Central Ave. “This is the one place where you can come and ﬁnd something for any style or budget or taste or preference,” Nick Michel said. “If someone wants guidance building a viable art collection, we can provide that.

Stark Choices for America

n Thursday the Supreme Court upheld much of the “Affordable Care Act,” otherwise known as “Obamacare” on the basis that while the government can’t compel you to buy a given product or service such as insurance (that not being an appropriate interpretation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution) it can however tax you or penalize you with a tax penalty if you don’t behave a certain way, i.e., buy health insurance which the government says you must have. A fine example of Orwellian double-speak that only the lawyers could dream-up. In fact this was conjured by the Obama Administration’s own attorneys in defending Obamacare before the Court – having jettisoned their previous contentions that Obamacare didn’t in fact constitute a tax. So now we see Obamacare for what it is – and it’s wholly constitutional – the largest agglomerative tax increase package in American history. “Taxation without representation is tyranny,” is a slogan popularized by Revolutionary War patriot Patrick Henry and others such as the Bostonian James Otis. While at the cusp of Independence Day it can be argued that we do have representation, it also can be equally argued that coercive, excessive and oppressive taxation also constitutes its own singular kind of tyranny. The Court’s ruling lays bare the nexus of what the 2012 election is all about. Do we want more taxes, more government spending, government as an ever-growing percentage of the gross national product, more government bureaucracy, more government involvement in nearly every aspect of our daily lives and more government power to direct how we live, or do we believe that people ought to decide for themselves what’s right for themselves? That the people ought to be able to keep the overwhelming majority of what they earn and what they pass on to their progeny? That government is not the solution to all our problems and that government should be a conduit for promoting private enterprise and initiative, not a hindrance to it. Here in the Socialist Republic of New York somehow capitalism survives in spite of the overarching and overreaching maws of big government, but not without cost – New York has lost over a million residents since 2000 and many New Yorkers grind away like slaves chained to a Roman-era galley grunting and straining every day to make ends meet. The Federal Government is aiming to impose itself to ever greater degrees on the lives of Americans. After all, “the private sector is doing just fine” and the solution is more public sector jobs with retirement at 80 percent of salary after 20plus years and lifetime health benefits. Boy are we ninnies for not getting one of those jobs! Last week in this space we spoke about the new tax embedded in Obamacare that taxes profits made on the sale of your home and increases in capital gains. On March 30th in this space we also wrote: “Among the stealth tax increases buried in the bill are a surcharge of up to 2.5 percent of adjusted gross income on anyone not buying qualifying health insurance as defined by the Federal Government; an employer mandate tax of $2,000 for full time employees for companies employing more than 50 workers who don’t offer health insurance; a 3.8 percent surtax on investment income for families earning more than $250,000, which also includes profits from the sale of a home; an excise tax on so-called “Cadillac” health care plans that “wealthy” people may have; an increase in the Medicare Payroll Tax; a doubling on the tax for early non-medical withdrawals from health savings accounts; Parents of special needs students will see certain tax breaks rescinded because of a new $2,500 annual cap on Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) which are now unlimited and which many parents use to pay tuition for these kids. But wait – there’s more – there’s a new 2.3 percent excise tax on medical device manufacturers for items retailing for over $100. The ability to deduct itemized medical expenses from one’s income tax has been made more difficult. Presently medical expenses in excess of 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income can be deducted. There is a new level of 10 percent of AGI as of 2013. If a family has had to deal with traumatic or catastrophic care, more of those enormous expenses will now come out of their pockets. There are new taxes on health insurance companies, on drug companies and the list goes on and on.” The nub of November is what kind of America are we going to have? Never has the choice been as stark or as clear-cut for the nation. We can head in the direction of the failed countries of Europe (does anyone here really have a hankering to live in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy or Iceland?) or we can chart our own course – the individualist American road that has made us the envy of the world, the place that millions vie and often tempt death itself to enter for a better life. Do we want a country where our every step, our every move is regulated and taxed or do we want a nation of freedom and unlimited enterprise and opportunity? As we sit here a few days from July 4th , our Founding Fathers never could have imagined an American society where the size of government seeks to surpass that of private enterprise, a government so large, so vast that it has its tentacles into every nook and cranny of life down to the village, street and house level – so enormous that its insatiable hunger for revenue reduces much of its working citizenry to penury and rewards the penurious for lack of work. No, the authentic America is being painted-over in European colors. This November we have an opportunity to re-hoist the stars and stripes above the mélange of E.U. standards and return America to the land of he free we all aspire it to be.

EDUCATION VOICE

Albany’s Same Old ‘New Teacher Assessment’ Bait-n-Switch By Dr. David J. Sussman

s a parent of four Lawrence High School graduates, my interest in local education over the past 22 years has become rather personal. As a 17-year trustee on the Lawrence Board of Education, I’ve channeled that interest toward ensuring every child in our district gets the best education possible. One challenge I’ve continually faced concerns the lack of a true system for meaningful teacher assessment. In our free market system, the value of meaningful assessment is fairly intuitive: consumers buy products and those that fail to deliver typically fail to survive. In the private sector, managers conduct annual or quarterly evaluations, during which they assess employee performance. Those who fail to perform are asked to improve or work elsewhere. The same applies to restaurants that offer poor service or unappetizing food, and physicians that provide indifferent or inadequate care. Accountability is the essence of competition, the core of democracy, and the source of our nation’s energy and ingenuity. Yet, this inherent giveand-take is absent from our nation’s educational system. Not for lack of interest or effort. Parents want to know who is educating their children, while all good teachers desire and deserve their due recognition and appreciation. Teachers unions disagree. For decades, they have ducked, delayed, and consistently denounced every effort to institute a simple system of meaningful teacher assessments. Every successful start ended in a complicated and cumbersome mess that served only to confuse facts, preserve mediocrity, and beneﬁt none. As a result, you can say that a slice of pizza sold in New York State is allowed closer scrutiny than of the teachers we entrust to educate and guide our children on their journey to the adulthood. Does all the fanfare accompanying New York State’s recently enacted Annual Professional Performance Review mean we’ve turned a corner?

Not even close. After months of hard-line rhetoric from lawmakers vowing to draw a line in the sand between our children’s futures and the union’s interests, Albany has enacted yet another bait and switch “concession.” Only this time it’s so utterly complex that school administrators will require special training to learn how to implement it. And even then, the new system is riddled with flaws, most notably a requirement that administrators must wait a minimum of two full years before proceedings to remove an underperforming teacher may begin. Once again, Albany has deprived parents of an invaluable tool to let them know if their child’s new teacher is exceptional or incompetent. As a school trustee, I repeatedly fought the union-imposed Albany deadlock that remains standing between teacher assessments and our children’s future. Though the unions blocked our many attempts, I accumulated an arsenal of experience that as an Assemblyman, I will use with far greater impact. Most teachers I know are exceptionally dedicated, educated, and committed to their students. The few who are not, because unions demand they be recognized as equals, diminish the value of their exceptional peers. For the sake of the majority, and for the parents and students, I am committed to establish a system that formally identifies underperforming educators, and grants the district the authority to demand adequate improvement, and the discretion to initiate termination proceedings without regard to tenure or seniority. Success is within our reach. The momentum of recent events has weakened teachers unions; dislodged their ideological monopoly on school policy; and fortified my determination to enact straightforward solutions for a streamlined assessment process. My proposal will create standards based on commonsense principles of clarity, efficiency, and discretion. It will deny decision-mak-

ZERO TOLERANCE By Joel Moskowitz

think it is safe to say that despite all the scandal, all the public trials, all the outrage we still just don’t get it when it comes to child abuse. Even more outrageous is the tendency to cover up past abuses and in some cases to vilify the victims. Our blind eye turned to these abuses helps perpetuate the epidemic of bullying experienced by our youth, after all child abusers get protection from school principals, rabbis, priests and communal leaders, why should bullies worry? The YouTube sensation of Karen Klein, a 68 year old bus monitor from Rochester NY being bullied and taunted by students while she sat and cried was a wake up call to all of us that what we teach at home is paramount to proper upbringing. What message are we teaching our children when there was a fundraiser in Brooklyn for a suspected sexual offender that raised half a million dollars for his defense? Or those four Ultra-Orthodox men who were arrested last week after being recorded bribing then threatening a victim of abuse to drop the charges against her tormentor? Penn State, the Catholic Church, Orthodox Judaism, Horace Mann and countless other institutions serially cover up instance after instance of abuse and only after it becomes a scandal erupts do they do anything to show sympathy or re-

morse. Inevitably, the abuser will have his supporters, after all the kids not being abused must think the teacher, rabbi or priest to be just swell. Then the victim becomes hunted again, shamed, called a liar or worse, told that they invited it upon themselves. With all that we have learned about protecting our children over the years – abuse need not be physical or sexual to be considered abuse. I know, because as a teenager I was the victim of terrible emotional and psychological abuse. Twenty-eight years after my episode a prominent Jewish publication printed a story about years of documented abuse by the same rabbi. I used my name for attribution in that article and while most of the responses were overwhelmingly supportive I was not surprised at all to ﬁnd out that the rabbi’s supporters considered me embittered and vengeful. Most recently, a former classmate of mine wrote an article for the online student publication of the university we attended. That school happened to have afﬁliate high schools that we both went to. His article details years of abuse by the principal of one of the high schools. This principal, in what was the worst kept open secret of my generation, time and time again wrestled kids, hit them, pinched them and got them drunk. The school’s answer after decades of abuse was to make this guy a dinner and sent him off to be a principal at a school in another city. Our culture has taught us to revere our leaders, but our leaders let us down when they protect abusers and refuse to weed out those that will damage lives. More importantly our leaders fail us when abuse is uncovered but excused away or dealt with quietly. We owe our children the knowledge that their safety, security and happiness is the most important thing in the world and that we will do everything in our power to rid our schools, camps, churches, temples and playgrounds of predators.

ike many college students, I changed my major a number of times. Always within the same genre, they were more like minor corrections rather than drastic career changes. It was not as if I was a biology major only to decide that art history was really my calling. Some people aspire to a certain profession because that is what their parents did, although my inspiration came from an otherwise unconventional source. Parents are often afraid of the influence television has over their children, and for good reason. But I wanted to be a criminal psychologist who worked for the FBI because Jodi Foster’s Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs was insanely cool and practically genius. Once I started sleeping again after seeing that movie, and it took a while, I decided that was what I wanted to do. Let’s just say, however, it did not last long. Of course, declaring myself a biology major would have been doubly ironic since I only showed up to bio three times that entire semester -on the first day of class, the day of the midterm and the day of the final. Anything I needed to learn, I learned in the library, since that was where the professor’s old tests were stored. The questions on exams I needed to take came directly from previous ones and I aced the course. It was nicknamed “Bio for Poets” simply because it was a requirement for all students, regardless of one’s major or interest. There were plenty of students who attended class regularly, despite attendance never being taken and the questions to all exams located in the library. Frankly, I did not understand those students and they did not understand me. Needless to say, before changing my major (again) I was sure Clarice did not need to know bio in depth. My strategy for doing well in this class was going to suit my needs just fine. I turned out to be right, specifically because I finally changed my major one last time to history, deciding to pursue a career in education. It turned out I had no interest in psychology and after a very brief introspection realized I would not make a good psychologist. Simple basic facts and personality quirks will forever prevent me from being a therapist. To begin, I talk too much to listen to other people’s problems professionally. In addition, I tend to interrupt people with a oneliner or a good joke. When something funny or sarcastic strikes me, I have to let it out. That habit is sometimes a problem when I am on the air, let alone if I had been a therapist. While there is a time and place for everything, I still struggle to believe that

Drug Wars a Waste of Money By Leonard Hoffman

e left off at a traffic stop. The policeman or woman who stopped your child for failing to signal has found enough marijuana under your child’s seat for 10 or so portions. The cost of this contraband is less than a week’s allowance and it is your son’s or daughter’s turn to bring it to a party that occurs once a month or so. According to a prominent criminal attorney, the officer at the scene apparently is the person from the moment of stopping a pedestrian or driver who will decide what if any charge will be leveled at the person. The officer or officers decide what they see and how they see it. They may choose to look the other way or they may choose to make an arrest and bring the person into the police station to be formally booked. Once someone is booked her life has changed. Even if the charges are dropped, the only answer that is honest, to the question, “Have you ever been arrested?” is yes. You can explain the circumstances but never know if someone chose to read it. According to the N.Y. Civil Liberties Union, nearly 700,000 stop and frisks were made in 2011 of which only nine percent were white (But there is no discrimination in law enforcement). Here is an excerpt of the charges in Matthews vs. City of New York: “The 42nd Precinct’s quota system reflects a wider problem within the NYPD. For years, the Department has been mired in scandals about its use of quotas that lead to unjustified stops and arrests of innocent people. Starting in May 2010, the Village Voice ran a series of articles exposing a quota system in

the 81st Precinct in Brooklyn as revealed by audio tapes secretly made by Officer Adrian Schoolcraft. A police officer in Queens recently admitted that the use of enforcement quotas led officers to plant cocaine on innocent people in order to boost arrest numbers.” The result of the drug wars in this country has been a systematic creation of a prison population, a non violent minority underclass of young people going into prison that come out with no ability to get a job or a loan to further their education. This leads those coming out of prison to a life of crime that would not have been considered a choice when they were 15 or 16 years old. There is more insidiousness though. The people who fund the elections of the “tough on crime” judges also fund “tough on illegal immigrants”. They also fund shrink government initiatives for privatization. These are the priorities of the private prison industry. Private prisons make money by saving money. They hire less experienced staff and offer nothing but minimum necessary requirements for help to inmates. The result of that policy can be seen in the disproportionate numbers of poorly controlled prison riots, by unsanitary health conditions, by substandard record-keeping, by high employee turnover and by the number of deaths in detention. Fundamentally, the companies work to promote misery. In Pennsylvania last year, judges went to jail for taking bribes in exchange for sentencing juveniles to time in juvenile prisons for what you would send them to bed without TV (perhaps even

for a month). In the U.S at large, minorities who use marijuana at a slightly lower rate than whites are incarcerated at a rate seven times that of whites. Prisons cost us $40,000$50,000 per year, per inmate and produce an underclass that is increasingly unproductive in a 21st Century economy. It is time to recognize that we are failing to invest in our future and instead are burying it. One percent of traffic deaths are marijuana related compared to 52 percent from alcohol. Marijuana is a natural substance that does not produce abnormal behavior and compared to alcohol and tobacco is much less harmful to the body, less addictive, and less difficult from which to withdraw. It also, unlike the myth, is not a gateway drug to harder drugs. There is no credible correlation that marijuana use leads to harder drugs. There is a correlation that people who use harder drugs are more likely to have used marijuana but is also likely they used alcohol. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire say pot serves as a “gateway” to other drugs mainly for young people who are poor, unemployed, and subjected to severe psychological stress. In other words, it’s not about pot but about the potholes young people encounter on the road of life. The niceties of “Just Say NO” made Americans feel good about their posture while in reality the strong arm of the law has been saying no with mass incarceration. We imprison our citizens at a much higher rate than any country on earth and we do so by punishing non violent drug offenders without one shred of evidentiary benefit. The tipping point has arrived where more people support at least decriminalization compared to existing laws, and at this point you must lend a loud voice to redirect the justice system to deal with criminals and not petty drug use.

AND THEY’RE OFF – IT’S THE OFFICIAL START OF SUMMER!

Harbor.” Let me explain, what really happened was that Kenny Banya who, as you may remember, forced Jerry to take him to Mendy’s for a meal and Banya then ordered only soup, and the Talmudic discourse that followed dealt with the deﬁnition of “a meal” and whether “soup” constitutes “a meal.” There was a lot riding on the outcome of this debate, because if “soup” were not “a meal,” then Jerry would have to take Banya, to Mendy’s, again, but this time he would have to buy him, a proper “meal.” In an interesting aside, if you ever go to Mendy’s on 34th Street in Manhattan, and, look carefully at the group Seinfeld picture on the wall, the only person missing from that picture is Kenny Banya – a cruel irony which I pointed out to the proprietors. How can anyone have a meal, or even a soup, in a restaurant whose owners do not give proper kudos to Kenny Banya – the man who put Mendy’s on the map? Well, getting back to Banya, it was he who was spotted in Xaga Sushi – where he was not having a sushi lunch, but merely a bowl of Miso Soup with a seaweed salad on the side. After that, Banya went to Trader Joe’s for some free coffee and complimentary sample. Jennyy, the lady who works the free coffee and complimentary sample counter – distinctly remembers Kenny Banya asking for Ovaltine, but trying the “Columbian-Gold” free coffee and telling her “that’s gold, Jenny…GOLD!” And, Kenny Banya is not looking for an estate in Hewlett Har-

bor – that was pure hogwash. All he seeking is a small twobedroom garden apartment on Broadway in Hewlett – maybe, even a large one-bedroom with a little terrace. So, you see how rumors get spread out of control and the truth is played fast and loose here in The Five Towns. And, speaking of hearsay, innuendo and gossip, a totally surreal thing happened to me on The Avenue this week. I had just come out of Chase Bank with some “potential coffee” – though definitely a hot black drink of some sort. Walking towards Cap One for some “real” free coffee, I looked into a vacant storefront with some evidence of a new tenant in the process of moving in. I stared at the sign on the window: “New Home of Gossip,” it read. Well, I thought, finally a new business here in The Five Towns that is destined to succeed. If gossip, indeed, bought a home – it would definitely be right here on Central Avenue. I eagerly asked the proprietor of a neighboring store when “gossip” would be fully moved-in. The lady shook her head and looked at me like I was some sort of freak who actually “buys” coffee, and, maybe, even shops on The Avenue. Something seemed amiss and I decided to re-read the sign in the window. I nearly dropped my cup of Chase brew (which was decidedly undrinkable) when on clearer inspection, the sign now read: “New Home of GoShip.” I must say that a part of me was sad, and a part of me was excited. Yes, there was still no “Home of Gossip” here in The Five Towns – the Gossip Capital This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing of the Free World. off and wishing all the parents here in The Five But, what kind of a business Towns a wonderful summer in their European could The Legendary Danny convertibles, alligator shirst and Gucci shades. Also, make sure and visit GoShip daily to send up O’Doul open up right here on The Avenue – especially, with those sushi and salad- filled “care packages” to all all the new-found parking! their starving “yutes” in summer camp!

ell, with most of The Five Towns’ brats now thankfully out of their parents hair for the next six to eight weeks, safely ensconced in the great outdoors where bootstrapping and deprivation await and the civilization of Upper Crust personal pizza pies, Tokyo Sushi and Cheese Store extra-large $50 flavored iced coffees are as far away as are Mommy and Daddy. Life is harsh for these youngins. No Tina’s Nails. No Jildors. No Max and Gino’s. No Denny’s. Well, who cares, a little roughing it is good for these spoiled little pishers. And, besides, their parents are paying top-dollar to teach their children a hard lesson. Namely, leave these Five Towns -- and raccoons, bears and awful food await you – and, may all your malls be filled with Kohl’s and Family Dollar Stores! So, now that I can potentially get a parking spot on The Avenue, I may actually be able to visit Downtown Cedarhurst once in a while. Sure, it is not as busy, exciting and internationally-flavored as Downtown Woodmere, but it has many banks to speak for it – and where there are banks – there is usually “free coffee” – the object of my personal daily quests. I must say, that after last week’s spontaneous, and supposedly, double-confirming Seinfeld sightings in Hewlett, I think I have finally gotten to the bottom of all this ersatz excitement. It wasn’t Jerry Seinfeld, but it does involve, “Seinfeld.” And, it doesn’t involve “Hewlett

From the OpEd piece by Francis X. Becker This Is Your Chance in June 15 issue: Yahoo commenter danharper477: “’As a person well versed in ﬁnances, I clearly see the policy failures that have created this economically devastating

scenario in our country today’. Then why haven’t you brought this knowledge to Nassau County Mr. Becker? How can anyone take you seriously when in running for congress you deny having raised taxes and support putting the county further in debt? Did you purposefully not mention there is a primary? I’m sorry, but this piece is just insulting to how democracy functions, nothing but fluff and talking points. I challenge your sincerity Mr. Becker, there is no way you, a supposed fiscal conservative who has contributed to the fiscal crisis in Nassau county, will be able to unseat Carolyn McCarthy. And to have the arrogance to not acknowledge you have a primary, to not be out there meeting voters, and instead spreading lies about your opponent. Mr. Becker, you are a disgrace.

Wednesday, June 20: From the OpEd piece by Francis X. Becker This Is Your Chance in June 15 issue: Facebook commenter Joseph Lopresti: “First off, no matter who wins, we must all be united against McCarthy this November. Mr. Becker has been in the County Legislature since its founding in 1996. When spending such time serving your constituents, positions are going to be taken which you must defend. What politicians would not have such positions? Reagan? Rep. King? or any of the conservative greats? Of course all could have such charges levied against them. Yet Mr. Becker’s time in the Legislature overall has been a resounding success for those he represents. Just one example is the removal of the home heating tax after County Executive Suozzi left. Mr. Becker has been a successful small business owner for many years, and deeply understands issues concerning families, since he has one of his own.

You have spoken of ﬂuff in the past post. Yet after doing a little digging myself, Mr. Scaturro himself has things to hide. Yes he did work as a staffer in congress, for Arlen Specter....a now liberal Democrat. Besides this Mr. Scaturro doesn’t appear to have much of a record to run on. And as I have learned very well over the past three and a half years, you must be wary of young college professors with small records and big talk.”

From the Editorial Becker For Congress in June 22 issue: Yahoo commenter danharper477: “Becker is disgusting, what pathetic attempt to try and stay on some kind of message, he should just drop out at this point, everyone is seeing him for his lies. Admitting to Mr. Scaturro being conservative, his double-speak will not fool voters.” Facebook commenter Ken Jacoby: “Just what kind of experience has Becker put to work for the people of his legislative district in 16 years serving in Mineola? Oh yeah, okaying Mr. Gulotta’s shameful budgets that lead to the Suozzi takeovers and then more recently deciding in the depths of the recession that the newly elected Republican leadership was ENTITLED to a 46% raise, before being shocked and surprised by the uproar that forced him to vote against the 46% raise...

The MVP of the game was Beth Sholom’s starting pitcher Yehuda Konig, who surrendered only three hits over seven shutout innings. Konig chipped in on the offensive end as well, stroking a triple and two singles, doing his part to dispel the notion that pitchers can’t be two-way contributors. Island Avenue was victimized by some tough inﬁeld bounces throughout the morning that extended the duration of innings for the champs. In the third inning, these formed ominous clouds over the heads of Island Avenue as Beth Sholom erupted into a thunderstorm of offense

North Woodmere Kicks-off Season Taking Edwards Ave 18-4 By Raimundo Ortiz

n Sunday, Young Israel of North Woodmere (YINW) braved the sweltering humidity and moatlike remainders of last week’s heavy thunderstorms at Lawrence Middle School to kick off the Five Towns Shuls Softball League’s seventh season with an impressive 18-4 win over Edwards Avenue. League commissioner Gordon Zisholtz, of YINW, arrived at Lawrence Middle School more than an hour before game time to prepare the ﬁeld for the ensuing onslaught of fun and witty repartee. While plopping the bases in their proper spots, and carefully placing one foot in front of the other to form foul lines constructed by orange cones, Zisholtz expressed gratitude to the hosts of his games. “We can’t thank the Lawrence public school system enough,” he said. “Especially Lawrence High School and Lawrence Mid-

dle School. They’re great.” The game featured fireworks in the first inning, when YINW’s Michael Theiss swatted an inside the park home run in his first at-bat in several years with the team, plating two. Edwards Avenue responded with four runs in the bottom of the first, but that was the last time their offense made any noise. In the second inning, the charms and quirks of recreational softball were on full display when YINW’s Alex Saje was called out at second base while a pitch was being thrown. Saje, whose company NYS-Tees sponsored YINW’s baby blue T-shirts and caps, took a step off of second base which constituted an illegal lead. After briefly protesting, Saje trudged back to the steps serving as his dugout while his teammates snickered and shook their heads. “I feel like I need to appeal that,” Saje said several innings later in a voice indicating equal parts amusement and exasperation.

The players from Young Israel of North Woodmere. After the base running gaffe, YINW’s offense turned on the jets and never looked back. The next six hitters reached base on

a combination of three singles, a walk, and a double by Avi Cohen scoring for a total of ﬁve runs in the inning.

Photo by Raimundo Ortiz In the third and fourth innings, YINW kept the hits coming and scored another 11 runs. Even Zisholtz proved he is far

more than a softball bureaucrat. The man YINW calls “Commissioner” Gordon, both his literal title and a clever reference to Gotham City’s top cop, walked and doubled on Sunday. He also took the mound for two innings, walking two and surrendering a solitary single. The outcome of the game was secondary, though, in the grand scheme of things. The purpose of the league was to get people together once a week to represent their Shuls, and bring the members closer together. The Five Towns Shul Softball League places no restrictions on who can play, creating a welcoming and fun environment. “It’s cool to see kids playing now who were in Little League when we ﬁrst formed this league,” said Jack Aspir of YINW. “You have all ages coming together, from teenagers to men in their ﬁfties. It brings a great sense of camaraderie to a group of people you

N. Woodmere Man Biking Over 3,000 Miles for Special Needs Kids By Natalia Kozikowska

orth Woodmere resident Aaron D. Neufeld is biking 3,279 miles across the United States to beneﬁt children with special needs starting this Sunday, July 1. His seven week trip will begin in Los Angeles and end back in New York. Neufeld is one of nine participants taking part in the crosscountry bike trip and the only biker representing New York. The 22-year-old has already single-handedly raised $4,026.97, just $973.03 away from his $5,000 goal. Neufeld is working in cooperation with The Friendship Circle, a program of the Jean Fischman Chabad Center of The Five Towns which provides assistance and support to families of children who have special needs. The Friendship Circle pairs teenage volunteers with children with disabilities, a cause that Neufeld keeps close

to his heart. “I have special needs friends,” he says. “I’m very close with some of them.” Neufeld admits that the fuel that will keep him going is knowing that his work is going towards a good cause but he also wants to prove to himself that he can ﬁnish the physically grueling task. “Biking across country has always been on my bucket list,” he says. “I want to be able to complete it and I think it’s great – we’re going to be stopping in every state and stopping in different Friendship Circle chapters and meeting volunteers and the children in those states and the families that are involved with the Friendship Circle all across the country.” There are many hazards that come with biking such long distances, especially in the heat, so Neufeld has a very vigorous training schedule. Earlier this summer he biked across Long Island with a few of his friends to help him prepare. His trip began

in Montauk Point near the lighthouse and ended in his home town, North Woodmere. The entire trip was about 120 miles and gave him a good idea of what to expect for his seven week journey. He says that the nine person crew will be traveling about 85100 miles each day but he is most concerned about the heat. “We are traveling through the desert so it’s possibly going to be over 100 degrees and long stretches of road where there are no towns and no stores to stop in case of an emergency so we are really cautious. We are going to be really cautious about hydration. We might start biking on some nights as early as three in the morning to avoid being in the sun.” Neufeld says that his biggest challenge will not be keeping his endurance but rather the hills he will encounter as he passes through Denver, Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. “I’m terriﬁed of the climbs,” he says. “I’ve

had tons of practice, I’ve biked hundreds and hundreds of miles. This Thursday I did many miles in the heat. I was preparing for the desert that day but in the New York area there aren’t that many hills and we are going through the Rocky Mountains so I’m really worried about the uphill climbs and being able to keep up.” Even though Neufeld says that his bike seat has become his second home, he learned how to ride a bike late in the game. “I used to live in Brooklyn where it’s really cramped so I actually didn’t learn how to ride a bike until I was 12.” His mother was the person who gave him the initial push to become more active. He recalls spending an entire summer playing video games and his mother, ﬁnally fed up, unplugged the game from the wall and forced him to ride his bike. He eventually fell in love

lum bottoms are paired together with simple patterns, mixing old styles with new. Marc by Marc Jacobs swimsuits start around $80. Tops and bottoms are sold separately. Gottex, a popular Israeli bathing suit company founded in Tel Aviv that is considered “haute couture” swimwear, has many styles this season with a feminine feel. Skirted one-piece suits with ruched tops take you back to the days of the original beach clubs and feminine one-piece tube top suits are just as ﬂirty as their two-piece counterparts. Bikinis from Gottex are available with highwaist bottoms, another style that is reminiscent of beach days past. Marc by Marc Jacobs swimwear is available online at Bloomingdale’s, www.bloomingdales.com. Gottex swimwear is available online at http://www. southbeachswimsuits.com/.

ummer is in full swing and stylish beachgoers will be wearing a mix of simplicity with animal prints, bright colors, feminine lace, artsy patterns and shiny material. Oversized hats and straw bags complete the perfect beach look with an effortless ﬂair that will look like hours, instead of minutes, were spent putting the ensemble together.

Animal Prints Black and whites are back and better than ever this summer season. The simple two-color combo has been kicked up a notch in funky patterns on one and two-piece bathing attire. Animal prints are big, especially with designer Michael Kors this season. The designer’s styles this season include twopiece bikinis available in black-and-white zebra prints and brown snake prints. These classic patterns and colors are certainly a bathing suit staple. Two-piece suits aren’t the only swim styles that are popular in animal prints. Bandeau tops and one-piece suits with side cutouts are also available in these popular patterns. Michael Kors offers a bandeau two-piece suit in brown zebra prints and a one-piece cutout in similar simple brown colors. For a younger twist on these patterned suits, Guess offers bikinis in brown animal prints – tiny triangle tops and bottoms that tie at the side. Michael Kors swimsuits are available at Loehmann’s in Hewlett, online at http://www.net-a-porter. com/ and at Macy’s y in the Green

Patterns and Details Israeli swimwear brand Gottex takes center stage this summer season with beautiful patterns that look like simple brush strokes on an artist’s palette. Both their bathing suits and bathing suit cover-ups are adorned with these patterns in feminine pinks, purples and blues. More detail-oriented patterns that look like amped-up versions of paisleys and mod designs are also popular this summer in one-piece suits, bikinis and cover-ups. Artsy florals also reign supreme amongst Gottex designs this summer. Gottex suits start around $40 and Gottex cover-ups start around $80. Swimsuit company La Blanca also has artsy patterns covering their suits, with names like “Floral Fantasy” and offers simpler suits with details like shimmering and shiny materials. Florals look like a brush painting in bright colors, available from La Blanca in onepiece and two-piece with ruched bandeau tops. The brand also carries solid color suits in shining materials in every style from the “tankini” to an array of different two-piece shapes to halters, tubes and regular-strapped tops on onepiece suits in bright pinks, teals and turquoises.

the ferocious thriller Savages, featuring the all-star ensemble cast of Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Benicio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Emile Hirsh and Demian Bichir. The ﬁlm is based on Don Winslow’s bestselling crime novel that was named one of The New York Times’ Top 10 Books of 2010.

run a lucrative, homegrown industry – raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia [Lively]. Life is idyllic in their Southern California town, until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena [Hayek] and her brutal enforcer Lado [Del Toro] underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon – with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent [Travolta] – wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills.

“Today Joe Biden said the only place Mitt Romney has created jobs is in China. This has sparked an angry rebuttal from Romney spokesperson Wen Cheng-Bao.”

–Jay Leno “Regis Philbin will be hosting the fourth hour of the ‘Today’ show with Kathie Lee Gifford. Of course, the Supreme Court has to rule whether it’s constitutional.”

–David Letterman “A new study found that a record number of America’s wealthiest citizens are renouncing their citizenship to avoid high taxes. Which explains why today Donald Trump claimed HE was born in Kenya.”

–Jimmy Fallon “Analysts, according to The Wall Street Journal, say the weak economy is causing less energy use, resulting in falling oil prices. So basically the worse the economy is, the lower the price of oil. Do you know what that means? If Obama gets re-elected, gas could be free.”

–Jay Leno “Yesterday in New Hampshire, President Obama said Americans need someone who will wake up every single day and ﬁght for their jobs. Then he said, ‘But until we ﬁnd that guy, I’m still your best choice.’”

–Jimmy Fallon “Republicans are now talking about President Obama, saying he’s not much of a president. They’re also saying he is a lousy vampire hunter.”

–Jimmy Fallon “This week a woman in Florida got into trouble for groping a TSA agent while she was getting a pat-down. Or as the TSA put it, ‘The student has become the master.’”

–Jimmy Fallon “A group of gay Republicans called GOProud has endorsed Mitt Romney. There was some confusion. When they heard Romney had a reputation for going either way, they didn’t know that meant ﬂip-ﬂopping.”

EDUCATION VOICE

Albany’s Same Old ‘New Teacher Assessment’ Bait-n-Switch CONTINUED FROM P. A6 ing authority to union operatives, handing it instead to local school districts. Above all, it will take us a step closer in the direc-

tion of true reform and the quality of education our students and their parents deserve. Dr. David Sussman has lived in the Five Towns since 1963. He is a Lawrence High School grad-

uate, a physician in private practice, and a trustee on the Lawrence School District board for 17 years. He is the Republican candidate for New York State Assembly District 20.

N. Woodmere Man Biking Over 3,000 Miles for Special Needs Kids CONTINUED FROM P. A8 with biking and bikes almost every day. On a more personal level Neufeld considers his journey across country a decade celebration. “It’s only been ten years since I’ve learned how to ride a bike,” he adds. In addition to crossing biking across America off from his bucket list and raising money for children with disabilities he is also looking forward to developing relationships with the eight other bikers who will be riding with him. “None of these cross country guys know each other and we’re going to be spending many hours a day together. We’re going to be close and we’re all different ages.

We’re going through a lot of emotional and physical stresses together and I think at the end of it we’re going to have really awesome friendships.” Neufeld anticipates that this cross-country bike trip will be a life altering experience. “It’s going to be a very life changing trip both in that I’m doing something amazing − covering 3,000 miles from coast to coast. I will be able to put that under my belt and say that I did that, but I also get to meet these families and get involved and see how this organization is changing families all across the country.” Family and friends are proud of Neufeld and will be keeping their ﬁngers crossed and waiting as he arrives back in New

York on August 17. David Arbeli of North Woodmere says he used to bike with him every day. “The fact that he took it to the next level and is biking back from California – that’s impressive,” he says. “He’s doing something meaningful.” As for next year, Neufeld says he is not opposed to making the 3,000 mile journey again. “If I have the opportunity to take off seven weeks again and my legs are still attached to my body then absolutely, I think I would do it again.” To help Aaron D. Neufeld reach his fundraising goal visit his page and donate at Bike4Friendship. com/ANeufeld. For more information about Friendship Circle go to FC5Towns.com.

North Woodmere Kicks-off Season Taking Edwards Ave 18-4 CONTINUED FROM P. A8 would normally just say hello to once a week at Shul.” That friendliness was easy to see when the teams began arriving for the game. Due to a lack of benches on Lawrence Middle School’s baseball ﬁeld,

a large set of stone steps served as the dugout for both sides. As they mingled the atmosphere was collegial. They all set their bags, bats, gloves and cleats down, stretched out and talked with each other about work, their kids, and the several ponds scattered on the in-

Beth Sholom in Decisive Win in Shul League Opener CONTINUED FROM P. A8 Man himself may have struggled to get. Ari Moskovitz was able to channel his inner superhero, though, and make the catch, prompting Island Avenue captain Josh Aaron to offer plenty of encouraging words. “That was a shot!” Aaron said to the frustrated, but still smiling Ginsburg as he returned to the bench. “I don’t know how they got that one, you really hit it.” Despite failing to get a hit, Ginsburg was the most impressive player on the ﬁeld for Island Avenue. At one point, a foul ball

was launched deep into left and Ginsburg sped after it despite calls to leave it alone until the inning had ended. “That boy sure loves to run,” said the umpire as Ginsburg sprinted away halting the game. Beth Sholom spent the morning proving why they are the defending champs and simultaneously sending a message that they weren’t going anywhere. Island Avenue was beaten soundly, but seemed rusty and slightly unlucky as opposed to outclassed. They were frustrated but not discouraged. “We came to play ball and we’re having a

ﬁeld that were beyond raking and shoveling. While competition is not the emphasis of the league, that aspect is not lost on Aspir. “Nothing beats crushing the ball for a double when your eight-yearold is there to watch you and says, ‘Wow Dad, nice hit!’”

good time,” said Aaron. After the game, the teams shook hands, took pictures, and headed home. While most of the men hurried away to be with their families, Slotnick and Benamy, two of Beth Sholom’s younger players were in no hurry to leave the ﬁeld. They made bets with each other, identifying targets far away from where they were standing, and challenged each other to chuck baseballs at their marks. They were two players who dazzled during the game, and couldn’t resist just a little more competition. It was the entire morning in a nutshell. Fun in the beginning. Fun at the end. With some good competition sandwiched in the middle.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

The Future of America CONTINUED FROM P. A6 there is a wrong time or place for humor. Finally, the #1 reason I could never be a therapist is because for better or for worse, I am brutally honest. Put that all together, and it’s a disaster waiting to happen . I have even imagined a nightmarish therapy session in which a patient says, “Doctor, voices in my head are telling me to jump out that window” and my only response is, “Well, thank G-d we are on the bottom floor.” Lucky for all the patients I may have had, education beckoned and the rest is history. I often wonder what will inspire my children to pick their career paths in life. One of my daughters wants to cure cancer because she has three friends who have lost parents to that dreadful disease. From his fascination with rockets and NASA, one of my sons wants to be the first rabbi-astronaut. And while it is still very early, my youngest seems to have an affinity for medicine. She is often found walking around with her toy stethoscope or my husband’s real one, insisting on listening to people’s heads, hands or feet, instead of their heart. Though they are not common-

ly confused, her inspiration is a new television show called Doc McStuffins about a girl who fixes the various ailments from which her dolls and stuffed animals seem to suffer. It is all very cute, until you try and take her stethoscope away. I am not trying to squash her creativity -I just don’t want her sleeping with it at night. So after she is done diagnosing me with itchy-itis (no clue what that is because I am not a teddy bear) or announcing that “The doc is IN!” it is time for her to go to bed. My other son has also expressed some interest in medicine. Unlike a good friend of mine who has told her only son that he has no choice but to become a good Jewish doctor, I have set no such expectations upon my children. This son of mine, however, has also donned the coveted stethoscope. Most recently, he has asked me if he could listen to my heart and even knew where it was. “No problem,” I said, as I proceeded to properly position the flat metal surface so he could hear the beating of my heart. Unfortunately, he did not really understand what he was hearing. As a result, he decided my heart was not there. I re-

assured him that it was, in fact, exactly where it was supposed to be but he insisted it was not. He then changed his diagnosis. “Well, if it is there,” he said, “it is definitely not working.” (Insert death stare here.) Luckily I know that his medical training, and his bedside manner, have years to go before he’s ready to actually see patients. By that time, he’ll have amassed a wealth of medical knowledge, including the names of each bone in the body. That information would have come in very handy last weekend when he struggled to explain what part of his foot hurt. “Mommy,” he said, his face filled with pain, “my foot really hurts.” Knowing just by looking at him that he was in serious discomfort, I asked him where it hurt. “Here,” he said as he pointed. “In my foot hip.” Without smiling or laughing, I asked for confirmation of the pain’s origin. “In my foot hip!” he said again, frustrated by the need to repeat himself. I smiled. “That’s your ankle,” I explained, which brought a smile to his face. “Oh,” he said, with a tinge of embarrassment. “So, that’s what it’s called.” Suffice it to say, I think he’ll need to go to bio class everyday.

GRADUATION 2012

Lawrence Sends-off 249 Seniors from Class of ‘12 Text and Photos by Deanna Del Ciello

awrence High School seniors celebrated their graduation this past week at the Tilles Center on C.W. Post’s campus. As the rain poured outside, friends, family, faculty and students gathered in the warmth to celebrate the last moments of high school. “Although it’s bittersweet,” recent graduate Nicole Gartner said, “I can conﬁdently say the past four years of high school have been ones I’ll take with me.” The 249 graduates gathered early at the performing arts center to take pictures with friends. “You think about everything that happened then and now, everything changed,” new graduate Joshua Samuel said. For Kristen Michael, the thing she’ll remember most about Lawrence High School is the teachers. “They’re really nice and they care about their students.” While some students seemed sad to be leaving, others could not wait to get onto the next stage of their lives. “It’s been a fun four years at Lawrence,” graduate Brandon Helicher said. “I can’t wait to get to college.” Students gathered in their blue gowns, listened to speeches from teachers and faculty and smiled through their last moments as students of Lawrence High School. “It’s deﬁnitely something I’m not going to forget,” graduate Nick Masselle said.

Elegant LHS Prom at Crest Hollow Country Club Text and photos by Amanda Mayo

awrence High School held their annual senior prom on Sunday, June 24, at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. The girls wore long, ﬂowing dresses in bright colors adorned with jewels and crystals while the boys looked sharp and polished in suits. Lawrence High School seniors, who graduated the next day, on Monday, June 25, said they were happy to spend one of their last evenings together as seniors before beginning new chapters in their lives. It was not just high school seniors in attendance, but dates were brought from surrounding areas and even younger students from the high school.
