YOUR FIVE TOWNS HOMETOWN PAPER

ALLEGED MOLESTER PLOTTED MURDER OF VICTIM; USED VOODOO

LOCAL SOCIAL AGENCIES TO SEE BIG CUTS By Natasha Domanski The gavel has dropped and social service providers all over Nassau County have ofﬁcially been cut as part of the County Executive’s effort to close a $41 million deﬁcit. The cuts have affected more than 50 agencies that are aimed at providing mental health services and youth programs, including the Five Towns Community Center which stands to lose roughly $400,000 in youth program funding that serves more than 1,300 in this area. The Peninsula Counseling Center will also see about $136,000 cut for its youth addiction programs. Legislator Howard Kopel (R-Five Towns) said he briefly spoke with the Five Towns Community Center youth services program director, Bertha Pruitt, earlier this week about the cuts, and anticipates that this will be an ongoing conversation in attempt to downgrade the negative impact on Five Towns’ social services. Kopel is against the cuts, but he believes that the action to reverse the defunding has become the Nassau Democrats’ decision of whether

Daniel Miller, the Inwood man who was arrested back in April and charged with sexual assault after drugging and sexually assaulting a 17-year old male employee was arraigned once again yesterday morning after allegedly plotting to kill the same teen in order to prevent him from testifying in the sexual abuse case, the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office said at a press conference Thursday afternoon. Detective Lt. John May of the District Attorney’s office said that Miller, who is a practitioner of Santeria, allegedly tried to find a hitman to kill the teen and also used a Voodoo doll to try to kill him. May said that using a Voodoo doll is attached to the religion of Santeria. “He believed by casting a spell on the Voodoo doll, it would have physical effects on his sex crime victim,” May said. Miller owned a Santeria religious artifacts store in Inwood, where the 17-year-old boy was allegedly drugged and raped his first day on the job back in January. Miller allegedly gave the employee a cup containing a liquid mixed with Lorazepam, a drug used to relieve anxiety, and told the employee to drink it, according to Special Vic-

The employee awoke at 4:00 a.m. and found himself inside of Miller’s Inwood home. Miller then proceeded to drive the employee home, where he notiﬁed police soon after. Miller was arrested on April 19 at his Inwood home and charged with Criminal Sexual Act in the First Degree and his bail was set at $1,000,000. He remained in prison and, after a source came forward to the DA’s ofﬁce in June to reveal Miller’s plot to have the 17-year-old victim killed, Miller was arraigned again with bail set for $5 million bond or $2.5 million cash. He is due back in court on August 1. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

Hewlett House: A Home For Those Fighting Cancer this common cause,” says Maria Blank, a breast cancer patient who regularly visits Hewlett House. “It’s like a sisterhood. It’s the worst thing that ever happened to any of us but I come out of here and I feel stronger, happier.” Blank ﬁnds that one of the most important things about treatment is not only medical but mental as well. “If you look at other women have had breast cancer and you look at them, I feel like they’ve missed out on something. They’re not happy like we are,” she says. For Blank it’s comforting to know that someone else has been through the same thing and can share their experiences with her. “This is our connection,” she says. “We come in, we talk about our personal issues, our health issues and we leave here like a weight has been lifted off of us.” Geri Barish, executive director of Hewlett House and president of 1 in 9; The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition, opened the house for cancer patients in 2001. Originally the house was meant to serve breast cancer patients but Barish decided to extend her services for all cancer types. Barish herself is a threetime breast cancer survivor who

It feels like we’ve been together all our lives. There is just complete open honesty. It’s sharing. They are the most giving people,” she says. “That’s the one part of cancer I would never trade.” Over 300 years ago Hewlett House served as a residence for George Hewlett and his family but today the house has a much greater purpose – serving as a safe haven for the cancer patients of The Five Towns. Sit in on one of their group discussions and you will ﬁnd an amazing group of women with outstanding strength, courage and support all determined to win the same battle – cancer. “It seems like all of us have been brought here together by

Local Social Agencies To See Big Cuts for court mandated property tax rebates for the county’s residents and business owners. A fight over nonpartisan legislative redistricting added fuel to the flame, and politics have been in a stalemate mode ever since May. County Executive Edward Mangano’s office supports that notion saying, “The County Executive continues to urge Democrat Legislators to lay politics aside and put the people’s interests above that of their own political agenda.” Mike Florio, spokesman for Kevan Abrahams (D-Hempstead), agrees that if the Legislature

A1 or not they want to work in a bipartisan matter in the Legislature. “This is completely in the hands of Kevan Abrahams and the Democrats in the Legislature,” he stated. “We need 13 votes to bond for the money needed and if we don’t get it they’ll have to cut more. They’re holding the budget hostage.” The purpose of the cuts stem from an ongoing deadlock battle between Republicans and Democrats over the $41 million budget shortfall from 2011 that is needed

lost her mother to breast cancer and her son, Michael, to Hodgkins Lymphoma. Her difﬁcult life experiences have given her the strength to give back to the community and turn her traumatic losses into a positive outlet. Having been surrounded by cancer her whole life and even struggling with the disease herself, Barish wanted to establish an escape for cancer patients − a place where cancer patients can take crochet, yoga, writing and art classes all while bonding with one another about their treatment. “Going into a hospital and seeing the white coats go by with the bottles hanging and people ill, I was never comfortable,” she says. “You were just that number next on line. There was something always missing. There is such a difference when you come into a home environment because you can relax, you can laugh, you can cry, you can be angry.” Indeed Hewlett House has succeeded in creating that “home-y” atmosphere that she was looking for. The house is ﬁlled with family portraits of patients and their families. The living room has a lit up “tree of life” to symbolize strength. Little trinkets and paintings can be seen scattered around the house. The kitchen smells like grandma’s old apple pie and when it rains outside Barish of-

fers her visitors slippers so they don’t have to walk around with wet socks. Barish says all these little details make her visitors feel more comfortable and at ease. One of her main goals in establishing Hewlett House for cancer patients is to take the institution out of the picture completely. “We don’t do anything medical here, we’re not doctors,” she says. “We are people that can take away the pain and try to improve the quality of life. We can’t take the disease away but there are lots of hugs, lots of smiles,” she adds. Hewlett House offers many services for cancer patients and all at no charge. The weekly art, yoga and crochet classes are all taught by volunteers and the

group discussions and therapy sessions are all held by social workers who dedicate their time. The house even has a room ﬁlled with donated wigs from various stores so that patients can wear them during chemo treatment and a closet ﬁlled with special mastectomy bras for women who have had surgery so that they feel more like themselves. Barbara Milhaven, who was diagnosed with breast cancer three times, has been coming to Hewlett House ever since 2006. She says she fell in love with the house and the people there. Milhaven says she has met some amazing people through Hewlett House and always has a good time when she visits. Milhaven enjoys the companionship the most when she visits Hewlett House. “You can go anytime, for any reason. There’s always someone to listen to you, there’s always somebody to sit next to you or hold your hand and help you get through whatever is going on.” Milhaven says that sometimes it’s not even about the cancer. You can go into the house and talk about whatever problems you may be experiencing. Milhaven thinks that Hewlett House is an important asset for The Five Towns because women who have cancer need the comraderie and the togetherness. “You need to be with peo-

ple who experience the same thing you do in order for you to feel better about yourself,” she says. She feels that the classes that Hewlett House is a good way to develop friendships and relationships. “When you crochet with other women, you are not quiet,” she says. “Everyone is talking and talking about what they did that day or what they bought at the mall and in between all of that it helps you cope with you own life. These women are there and they are just like you. You are not alone.” Barish says that Hewlett House has an open door to all cancer patients – young, old, men and women. “Cancer does not discriminate,” says Barish. The house has become a place where different people from all around Long Island can come in and have at least one thing in common with one another. Barbara King, a new member of Hewlett House’s mastectomy discussion group, says that the house has really helped her cope with the disease. The nurse says that she learned a lot about the medical procedures necessary from the ladies in her group who have already experienced it. “I’m a nurse but when you’re a patient and you’re going through cancer, you don’t know what’s going on. These ladies embraced me and when I came here they

cal year of 2013.” Vilardi assures his residents that the board is really watching out how they spend money and doing the best they can to keep taxes under control. One major problem Vilardi hopes to tackle is the sporadic recycling schedule. “We’re talking about several different options for recycling,” he says. “I don’t have a deﬁnite program right now but within 2-3 months we will be expanding our recycling.” Vilardi says that the problem in itself is sometimes unavoidable. “What

happens sometimes is recycling pick up is every other Wednesday and if a holiday falls on a Wednesday, like it did recently, then our system is thrown out of whack.” Vilardi adds The Five Towns recycles at some of the highest rates because they have their own recycling facility in Lawrence. Just a couple of months ago, Five Towners brought forth complaints to the Sanitation District at a Town Hall meeting. Among one of those concerns were the sanitary workers carelessness

with spilling garbage in driveways and cutting through Five Towner’s shrubs as a short cut. Vilardi says that spilling garbage and cutting through property are prohibited. “If we ﬁnd that our staff is breaking any of our guidelines then of course, they will get suspended. If someone calls and makes a complaint we are trying to work with that as closely as we can.” Another complaint from Five Towners is that the sanitation workers have been rude and ver-

bally abusive. Vilardi says he does not tolerate that type of behavior and will try his best to remedy the problem. “Our superintendant has regular meetings with our staff. That’s one of the ﬁrst items we addressed in our ﬁrst meeting,” he says. “Those are the types of issues that we talk to our men about all the time and I think, just like the board, we expect a higher caliber of behavior at the district and we are trying to instill professionalism in all our operations.”

were to come to an agreement on a level of bonding, then it’s possible that the funding for social services could be restored. “We still believe funding could be taken from the 2009 Red Light Program,” Florio said of the program. The goal of the red-light camera program was to gather revenue directly for the social services of Nassau County while improving driver safety all over the county. Florio said that the County Executive reneged on that promise, and that the funding is now going to a small fraction of paying back the County’s debt. Leaders of the social service agencies like Jamie Bogenshutz, Vice President of the YES Community Counseling Center, said they’re not interested in hear-

ing the political back-and-forth of the opposing parties in Nassau County, but that they simply want their Legislators and party leaders to do whatever it takes to restore funding. “We have generated an online petition,” Bogenshutz said. “We almost instantly got 600 signatures and we will be sending that to our local leaders.” Bogenshutz added that their agency has been coping with the cuts by indeﬁnitely suspending their school programs that educate thousands of students about drug abuse and inform them of trauma coping skills, and by referring the people who come to their mental health facilities to other resources -- many that they cannot currently afford. In other developments, Man-

gano has released a statement saying that he entered into a partnership with Universal Management Technology Solutions, Inc. in order to identify and obtain additional agency savings through strategic sourcing services with the hopes of saving the county anywhere from $15 to $25 million, annually. “My administration is working tirelessly to protect taxpayers by eliminating wasteful spending and implementing efﬁciencies,” Mangano said. “I have cut over $200 million in fat from Nassau’s budget and this initiative will further assist in achieving greater savings for our residents.” Mangano’s ofﬁce said that each government agency will be explored in order to assess what can be trimmed. They anticipate

that these cuts can be seen by the public even in the next week, mentioning that savings can be achieved from the energy purchased by the County in order to beneﬁt taxpayers while improving the area’s environment. Legislator Francis X. Becker (R-Lynbrook) added that outside agencies have certain expertise that the Nassau County government ofﬁcials may not, and could save on the simpler aspects of the County like using different materials for road improvement to save costs, or even more simply by promoting competition between companies. “I don’t know how much fat could be in the contracts to begin with,” Becker said. “But, I am very interested to see where things go.”

Over 300 years ago Hewlett House served as a residence for George Hewlett and his family but today the house has a much greater purpose – serving as a safe haven for the cancer patients of The Five Towns.

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

The chapel would separate from St. George’s in 1844 and be called Trinity Church, Rockaway. In May 1878, the current church building would open its doors for the growing population of the area.

A Day in the Life of a Local Golf Caddy

TEXT AND PHOTOS BY SCOTT P. MOORE

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

Give it a little extra.” A couple of practice swings and a putt later, the ball sinks into the hole with a stereotypical “plunk.” “Nice putt, Jim!” said Sable, as he put the ﬂag back in, collected Marigotta and friends’ golf clubs and headed to the next hole. “Thanks,” said a grinning Marigotta before stepping off to the side to let his friend Paul Amttie take his shot. “Golf runs in my stepfather’s blood,” Sable explained. His stepfather, Cameron Wood, is the one of the country club’s pros on staff. “He takes me out here sometimes and gives me lessons. I’d like to be good at this some day.” Sable said his stepfather got him his position at Inwood to help him make money during high school.

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

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

In the world of dresses and flirty casual wear, black is back, lace is in, and fur is taking over. “Start with a little fur vest, layered with a bulky sweater, and finish it with a belt,” advised buyer and stylist, Maria Danca. To transition a summer piece into fall, like a long and whimsical maxi skirt, pair it with a sweater or leather jacket, Danca said. Emeralds, sapphires, and deep purples are this season’s go-to colors. The jewel tones and a touch of sequins or beads are just the right amount of glitz, according to Danca. “No matter what figure you have, a safe dress is a beaded dress because it’s forgiving of figure flaws.” As far as lengths and cuts go, Danca noted that a micro-mini only really works for beaded dress, but a dress hitting right above the knee is sophisticated and classic.

Broadway Being Resurfaced From Woodmere to Hewlett CONTINUED FROM P. A1 ment on Broadway was deteriorated. “Some money became available from money saved from another project,” he says. Kopel also discussed plans for the next big project on Peninsula Boulevard. “It’s not scheduled yet but its moving forward,” he says. The bids for that project open on July 17. “Once the bids are open we’ll know who the lowest qualiﬁed bidder is and at that point we’ll formulate the schedule.” Kopel understands that with construction on major roads may not always be what is most convenient for drivers. “It’s a mixed bag,” he says. “I hope people realize it’s going to be repaved on one hand but on the other hand as much as the county’s DPW will try and work with

me to minimize discomfort, there’s going to be some short term pain.” A mixed bag indeed, considering that merchants and residents from Woodmere are split over the DPW’s decision to repave Broadway in Woodmere and Hewlett. While some anticipate that the project, which began on July 8, will only help make the roads safer, others feel that the construction is unnecessary, impacting their daily commute and even their sleep. The construction takes place during the night into the early morning from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. All vehicles will be ticketed and towed if they are left on Broadway during the construction times. Mike Martino, press secretary for the DPW, says that the construction is expected to

Hewlett Residents Are Concerned Over Sale Of Temple Beth Emeth CONTINUED FROM P. A1 ple, Inc. (Congregation Beth Emeth) may sell the property to Kingdom Resources for the amount of $2,400,000. In New York State, the process to sell a religious building is a little complicated. According to New York State law, the application for the sale of a religious building is recommended by the State Attorney General to the State Supreme Court. The State Supreme Court is then the party who may or may not approve the sale. Also, when a not-for-proﬁt religious building

is sold, it must be sold to a similar institution (not-for-proﬁt religious institution, regardless of the religion). “We just want to know where the application for the sale of the building is. What is going on with the sale of the building?” The Hewlett Residents Association said they want to know about what’s going on with the sale of the temple for safety reasons. Halperin and other members of the organization said they have reached out to Pastor Elsie Obed herself to see what she may be using the building for.

Hewlett House: A Home For Those Fighting Cancer CONTINUED FROM P.

take three weeks but these types of projects are subject to weather. Martino says that the DPW has chosen to work with Carlo Lizza and Sons Paving Inc. but did not disclose the budget for the project. Debbie Velasquez, owner of Debbie Flowers on Broadway, says that her business has not been impacted as a result of the road work. Instead she is happy to see that the DPW is working on improving road conditions. While she admits that she may drive down Broadway a little more cautiously as a result, Velasquez says it’s great that they are making the road conditions safer and are working on the project at an appropriate time. “I think it’s great that they’re doing it and they’ve picked the summer months and in the evening so really it’s not affecting us,” she says. “I think they chose a good time to do it by doing it at night.” While Velasquez is happy about the resurfacing proj-

ect, Mike Rossano, resident of Woodmere and employee at Woodmere Locksmith believes that the road work is frustrating. “It’s annoying because it slows down trafﬁc,” he says. Rossano is unsure whether the construction was necessary in the ﬁrst place and whether the project has impacted Woodmere Locksmith’s business. “It’s hard to say whether business is affected as a result because the economy is down. Business might be a little off because they can’t park here,” he says. “Who knows why they are doing this stuff?” he asks. “To me it seems like they are just trying to end the budget because whatever excess money they had in the budget has to roll over to next year’s budget and they get less.” Rossano also says that his sister, who lives directly on Broadway, can hear the workers jack hammering all night disturbing her sleep. Woodmere resident David Levi is also unhappy with the resurfac-

ing project. “I’m not too sure why they decided to repave Broadway of all places. I think there are other roads that are in much greater need of resurfacing in The Five Towns,” he says. “It’s also real hassle for me because can hear them at night when I try to sleep,” he says. “I live right off of Broadway and it gets really loud.” Although he says business is not affected by the resurfacing project, Suresh Patel, manager at Subway in Woodmere, agrees with Levi that the construction is unnecessary. “It did not need to be paved,” he says. “The road was good. There was no damage on the road before the construction.” Like Levi, Patel feels that other roads could have beneﬁted from a repaving project such as the roads right behind Broadway – East Broadway and Cedar Avenue. Talia Rothschild, a resident of Woodmere, disagrees with Levi and Suresh arguing that Broadway was in dire need of resur-

facing. She was happy to see that the DPW was taking steps to ensure the roads are safer for commuters. “I was pleasantly surprised to see that the DPW is repaving Broadway,” he says. “The road was extremely bumpy and I’m sure this will make it better for everyone,” she adds. Mike Martino, press secretary for the DPW says that the county may look to expand the project further in the future but not right now. He believes that the construction will improve road conditions and address issues on the roadway such as potholes and uneven surfaces. Currently, there are no plans to change the stripping plans. He advises drivers “to be aware of and follow detours and posted suggestions.” Most importantly he says to watch out for workers in the area and slow down. Martino recommends that drivers can avoid all construction by using other local roads that detour around the construction.

Her organization, Lilie’s International Christian Outreach, has a membership of close to 4,000 people, the residents group said, and they wonder if the building, which has an ofﬁcial capacity of 320 people, will be used for services for this organization. If the building was to be used for these purposes, the residents are concerned about roadway safety and other hazards. Pastor Obed’s services usually attract thousands of people in grand places like the Marriott Marquis hotel in Manhattan, a building that has far more space – and far more parking space – than the building located at 36 Franklin Avenue in Hewlett. “We want to focus on the safeties of the town,” Halperin said. He spoke about emergency vehicles having to get through that area along with

parking issues. The residents association is concerned that they haven’t heard from any of the people involved in this transaction, wondering why the key players in the sale of this temple have not been transparent with what is going on. The residents want to know what the ofﬁcial status of the sale is, and why it’s been so hard

to obtain information on a public building – information on what exactly is the building being used for. “Here’s a new organization in the community, what is it all about? Who are they?” Halperin said. “Why aren’t they disclosing what their intentions are right now?” The residents association has invited key players in

the sale of the building including representatives from Congregation Beth Emeth and Pastor Elsie Obed to their meeting on Monday, July 16. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Da Nicola in Hewlett. The meeting is open to the public and any residents of the Hewletts or Woodsburgh are welcome to be part of the organization.

Defending Champs Chabad Romp over Hewlett 18-1 Text and Photos By Raimundo Ortiz

habad’s offense led the way in an 18-1 romp over Young Israel of Hewlett (YIH) two weeks ago Sunday. The cracking of bat on ball violence was more deafening than the planes that flew over the field on their way into JFK airport. The Five Towns Shul League did not play last Sunday. Chabad jumped on top from the get-go, nearly batting around in the top of the first inning. Hertz Mendy and Shlomo Ross landed the big blows in the first, lacing a double and a triple respectively. Chabad racked up five hits and six runs in the frame. Chabad starting pitcher Zach Hatten brought the heat in the bottom of the first, retiring the side in order and letting YIH know that it was going to be a long morning. Chabad’s Eli Kirsch doubled in the second inning after singling in the first, leaving him a triple and a home run away from the cycle after just two at-bats. Mendy followed Kirsch with his second

two-bagger of the morning before Chabad was ﬁnished. Three more runs crossed the plate and they pushed the lead to 9-0. In the bottom of the second YIH scraped together three singles to knock in a run against Hatten, who had looked invincible in the ﬁrst. Neal Ben-Dayan drove in the run. Clean

Defending champs Chabad after their win over YIH fielding in the top of the third kept Chabad’s high-powered offense off the scoreboard and YIH had designs on a comeback. Chabad had other plans though. Four singles preceded Kirsch’s third smash of the ballgame, a triple with the sacks full that increased the lead to 12-1. They were not finished launching impressive blasts. Immediately following the triple, Mendy cranked a long home run over the left fielder’s head that allowed him to break into a home run trot. They continued to pound the ball all over the field, stroking five

more singles before ﬁnally ending the onslaught. When all the smoke had cleared, Chabad had sent 13 batters to the dish and scored nine runs in the fourth. “It wasn’t our best game today,” said YIH captain Jason Cohen. The bottom of the fourth inning wasn’t any better for YIH. Stu Kotler drew a one-out walk, but any momentum was stamped out by Chabad shortstop Asher Ross. On a screaming liner hit by Ira Schecter, Ross dove full-extension to his right and snapped his glove closed around the ball. Jack Diamond then grounded out to second base to end the inning, stranding

Kotler at first. The fourth inning barrage marked the end of Chabad’s scoring, but the 18 runs they compiled were more than enough. After Ross’ highlight-reel grab, YIH was only able to muster one single, off the bat of Ben Agamie. Hatten stifled YIH all morning long. Throughout the game YIH mustered little more than ground balls to second and short. Occasionally they would lift a ball into right or center, only to have the ball nestle into the gloves of Chabad’s sure-handed outfielders. For the morning, Hatten only allowed four hits, all singles, while walking two. Kot-

ler was the sole member of YIH that Hatten failed to retire. Hatten’s superior showing was overshadowed, though, by Kirsch and Mendy’s mashing. They combined to go six-for-six at the dish, and collected 14 total bases, 10 RBIs and six runs scored. “What can you do?” asked Ben-Dayan. “They’re the defending champs.” Correction: Last week it was reported that Beth Sholom was the reigning Five Towns Shul Softball League champion.

Island Avenue Wins 14-11 over Expansion Woodsburgh Team Text and Photos By Raimundo Ortiz

oodmere’s Island Avenue team outlasted Woodsburgh on Sunday, July 1st, getting a full seven innings from pitcher Mo Eidlisz in a 14-11 thriller. (The Shul Softball League did not play this past Sunday.) After taking it on the chin in their ﬁrst outing, Island Avenue got right to work in the top of the ﬁrst inning, smashing back to back doubles to lead off the game. A single, a pop out, and an RBI double by Eidlisz pushed the lead to 3-0 before Woodsburgh’s pitcher, The Standard’s Editor, Howard Barbanel, settled down and retired the next two batters. Woodsburgh responded to Island Avenue quickly. After a groundout to short, Woodsburgh blitzed Eidlisz and took back the lead with two doubles, two singles, and an eagle-eyed walk totaling four runs. Island Avenue’s offense showed no signs of slowing down in the second inning. The

first five batters reached base in another furious flurry of offense that included a booming triple off the bat of Judd Boczko. After two innings, Island Avenue was up 7-4, and looked to have Barbanel on the ropes fighting for his life. Jack Fruchter led off the bottom of the second inning with a base knock, but a strikeout, fielder’s choice and groundball out to first base meant a scoreless inning for Woodsburgh. Barbanel was a different pitcher in the top of the third inning, stranding three Island Avenue runners and escaping a jam without giving up any runs. Woodsburgh’s offense did not carry the momentum into their at-bats though, with the heart of the order popping up to infielders twice and lazing one fly ball into left field. Barbanel played the role of Houdini in the top of the fourth and wriggled out of another pickle, this time with the help of second baseman Stan “The Man” Haber. Island Avenue captain Josh Aaron sent a screamer to-

wards Haber who flashed elite reflexes in snatching the line drive out of thin air, then hustled over to second base to force out Shalom Yona Weiss, who had been too aggressive on the base paths and taken off for third. Haber’s scintillating glove work was not enough to spark the Woodsburgh offense, though, because the sixth, seventh, and eighth hitters sandwiched a strikeout looking between two routine groundouts to short. Eidlisz had put away six straight and Island Avenue appeared primed to ride their early offense to a victory. Island Avenue tacked on another run in the top of the fifth inning, increasing their lead to 8-4 before the silent Woodsburgh bats began barking. Three singles and a fly out to right field preceded a long triple by Woodsburgh three-hole hitter Elliot Daniel that drove in three runs. Daniel scored on a single by Jason Steinmetz, who was then brought home by Alan Steinmetz. Five runs crossed the plate against the stunned Eidlisz and Woodsburgh regained the lead,

9-8. Not to be outdone, Island Avenue showed Eidlisz they had his back in the top of the sixth, tagging Barbanel for seven singles and plating ﬁve while forcing the morning’s fourth lead change. Eidlisz trotted out to the mound for the bottom of the sixth inning with a brand spanking new 13-9 lead.

Haber led off the inning with a walk, followed by singles off the bats of Fruchter and Barbanel, and leadoff man Philip Kalban but the rally stalled when Larry Stern hit into a double play. Two runs scored before the double play. Daniel singled but Jason Steinmetz popped up to third to end the threat. In the top of the seventh,

Weiss tripled and scored to push Island Avenue’s lead to 14-11. That would be the game’s ﬁnal run, because Eidlisz withstood a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh by Alan Steinmetz, to slam the door on any comeback dreams. “It’s the ﬁrst win in a string of many,” said Eidlisz after the game.

Paving But No Turning

few months ago we wrote an editorial urging the County to start proactively paving some of our major streets here in The Five Towns that were starting to wear down a bit. We’re delighted that a big chunk of Broadway from Woodmere Boulevard all the way east to the triangle where the street meets-up with West Broadway is being completely repaved from curb-to-curb. The intersection of Broadway and Woodmere Blvd was showing serious signs of disintegration. We’re also pleased that the work is taking place overnight from 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. (see news story this issue) so as not to choke-off this important east-west artery during working hours. We’re also pleased that the Department of Public Works hopes to complete the project within a few weeks. Where we’re a little less enthusiastic that in the course of repaving the street there is no plan on the boards whatsoever to install a turn lane for the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Broadway in Hewlett. We’re written about the “Franklin Avenue Choke Point” several times in this space and how this is the knot in Broadway’s “tie” that strangles the easy flow of traffic and in fact is one of the primary causes of traffic backing-up more than a mile all the way to Woodmere at key hours. It is one of the prime irritants for area residents trying to travel between Hewlett and Woodmere. We have asserted here that the hellacious traffic caused by that inefficient intersection is a cause of Downtown Woodmere’s economic blight as consumers from points east are loathe to travel in Woodmere’s direction to shop. This would have been a perfect time to re-imagine that intersection in some way and not just pave-over the problem, so to speak. We still advocate turning that stretch of Broadway into a one-way street and doing to the same to West Broadway in the opposite direction so as to accommodate motorists who need to get to the Hewlett train station and not disrupt the flow of traffic. Right now, just one person making a left turn at rush hour can jam traffic up for a mile or more. While there’s time, we urge the DPW to re-think how lines are painted at that intersection and perhaps also install a left turn light along with a turning lane. Not to maximize this opportunity would be a colossal shame. Also on a good note, the DPW says that it will start accepting bids next week for the repaving of Peninsula Blvd which is in sore need to resurfacing. These kinds of things demonstrate that government can get things done. Now we need that turning lane.

Freedom of Religion

ewlett’s Reconstructionist Congregation Beth Emeth has sold their building (as we initially reported back in April) and is leaving the area. Some of the former congregation’s neighbors in Hewlett are less than happy with the new owners of the facility. We report in today’s issue that the new occupants will be a charismatic evangelical Christian organization. Some Hewlett residents are concerned that the facility at 36 Franklin Avenue will be overrun by thousands of would-be worshippers thereby exacerbating trafﬁc problems in the area or creating new ones. Another unspoken concern is about missionary work and proselytization. Nobody likes change in their backyards and we’re sorry to see the congregation go but at the end of the day some other institution was going to move into Beth Emeth. It could have been sold to an Orthodox synagogue or a yeshiva. Would the neighbors have been any happier at that prospect? Maybe. Maybe not. The former St. Mary’s church on Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence is now a Hispanic church after having also been a Korean congregation and the world hasn’t come to an end. We live in a country where freedom of religion and freedom of assembly are protected by the Constitution and thank God for that. The building has zoning and ﬁre code regulations and if Beth Emeth’s new occupants abuse those rules they’ll probably run afoul of the law but in the meantime we have to assume that they’ll turn out to be good neighbors until proven otherwise and what they do with the building is their affair so long as no laws are broken.

Letter from the State

ost every employer in the state received a letter recently from the NYS Department of Labor about an “Interest Assessment Surcharge in 2012.” The letter says, “the national recession has led to record levels of unemployed workers receiving unemployment insurance benefits. As a result, New York State has borrowed over $4 billion from the Federal Unemployment Insurance (UI) Trust Fund since 2009. New York must pay approximately $102 million in interest on these loans to the federal government by September 30, 2012. In order to pay the interest on these federal loans, New York State is required to assess a temporary charge on employers, called an Interest Assessment Surcharge (IAS).” So, New York employers have to pay up to an additional $12.75 per employee by September 30th. Our check is in the mail. The unemployment rate in New York State is at 8.5 percent and New York has the dubious honor of being the only state among the 50 in the U.S. to have its rate go up in the past year. It was at eight percent in March 2011. In New York City the unemployment rate is 9.7 percent. These numbers don’t reflect all those people who’ve exhausted their 52 or 99 week extended unemployment benefits, all the people who’ve given-up looking for a job, all the people who are underemployed doing part-time work or have taken huge pay cuts, all the recent graduates catching rays on the beach because they can’t find a job and all the people who’ve moved out of the state in search of work. But the “private sector is doing just fine,” so our President says. More public sector jobs is the answer. Clearly. Oh, and heaping a load of more taxes on the “two percent” of Americans earning more than $200,000 if single and $250,000 if married will surely boost the economy and bail out the govern-

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

McCarthyCare, Right Back Where We Started By Francis X. Becker

he Supreme Court decision the week before last has shocked the nation on both the left and the right — the right because the conservative Justice Roberts sided with the liberals on the court with a ruling that was both convoluted in its reasoning as it was illogical, and the left because they were euphoric at their good fortune and the sudden turn of events. What I find most disconcerting is that it is being reported that Justice Roberts originally sided with the conservative majority (?) but withered under the attack by the president and media saying it would be unprecedented to reverse major legislation passed by Congress. But that discussion is for another day. However, let us take a step back. We expected the court to do the heavy lifting for us by finding Obamacare (which I am going to call McCarthyCare for this article because of her support for this very unpopular mandate) by finding the healthcare act unconstitutional. But we have to remember, going back a few years, that McCarthyCare did pass Congress and was forced into law against the public’s will before 26 states went to court to challenge its constitutionality. However, maybe this is all a blessing in disguise and people will really

come out to vote in November, angry in knowing the terrible impact this law can have on our country and our healthcare. So, in essence, we are right back where we started. Let us now recall the famous (or rather infamous) statement made by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House at the time, that we, “Must first pass it to see what’s in it.” I remind you that Carolyn McCarthy went along with this strange thinking when voting for the bill. Most in Congress, and I would assume Carolyn McCarthy, never even bothered to read the 2,800 page bill, but passed it anyway. Do you recall also all the attention on Senator Scott Brown from Massachusetts when he was elected to office, to the relief of the country, that his would be the vote to block McCarthyCare? However, the Democrats did an end run around and it somehow it still became law. I still don’t understand how they did this but it was through some back door bureaucratic maneuvers that it was accomplished. And now that it has been passed we are finding day by day, page by page, how much we dislike it more and more. Polls indicate that well over 60 percent, and the number is growing, oppose this legislation. The sad part of this is that the bill is called the “Patient Protection & Healthcare Affordability Act.” In the end it will be anything but affordable. Since its passage we have seen health care costs continue to skyrocket. It is being reported that the tax as stated by Justice Roberts but argued by Carolyn McCarthy to be a penalty, will create 159 new bureaucracies, 47 new agencies, 68 grant programs and there

PROFILE IN COURAGE By Joel Moskowitz

fter reading about the Supreme Court decision to uphold Obamacare, I posted on Facebook, that Justice Roberts should get the Proﬁles in Courage award. I admit that I don’t know much about the Affordable Care Act that was challenged in the courts. If anything I noticed that after its passage the rates on my policy went up, according to my insurance company -- to pay for the pre-existing conditions they are now required to cover. Not being a lawyer, I can’t discuss the scholarly pros or cons of Roberts’ vote. As neither a conservative nor a liberal I cannot rightfully argue for or against the law on ideological grounds either. As an American however, I am relieved. I am relieved that there is an adult in the room. I have no doubt that Justice Roberts under other circumstances would have voted differently. However, Justice Roberts has now, by his vote, admitted to all, that the court over the past few years has been grossly politicized and that politicization has damaged the fabric of our republic. He is courageous not for upholding a questionable law, but for upholding the right of those elected to pass laws and govern. While Republicans are running on repeal of the act they ought to stop and listen to reason. Democrats can enjoy the victory lap but should be reminded how polarizing politics is in this

country, how razor thin this victory is and they too should listen to reason. It does not take courage to read the talking points from party headquarters to make policy decisions. It takes courage to assess what is fair and right for the country even if it goes against certain of your principles. Perhaps now, we can take our cue from Justice Roberts and find a middle ground on some issues. Gay marriage may be abhorrent to some but it is obviously a civil rights issue. It’s time for us to stop discriminating against fellow citizens and give them the rights we all enjoy, even if our faith dictates otherwise. The separation of Church and State protects us to practice our faith, not impose it. We can probably just concede that marijuana laws in this country are arcane, obsolete and cost way more than they are worth. It is time to have a sensible drug policy despite the moral abhorrence many have towards any drug use. It is time to have a balanced fiscal policy. Some new taxes, plenty of spending cuts. We have gone way overboard and now is not the time for ideological spitting contests. If you don’t agree with me look at Europe and call me back. Want to be Greece? I know I don’t. We have the largest, strongest military in the history of the world; do we really need to spend more on our defense? Two wars, justifiable at the onset have gone on for way too long; can we find a sensible withdrawal policy that still allows us to make our point? Our jails are full, our big cities declining and classrooms crumbling. Should we decide how to fix these things through ideology or through common sense? I am on the side of Justice Roberts, the side that says we elect representatives to make laws and policy whether we like them or not. For his stand Justice Roberts has my vote.

close friend of mine recently put his oldest on the bus to sleep away camp. This was their first time sending a child away to camp and it was initially unclear who was going to fall apart first -- the parents or the child. Within a few minutes, however, the winner was clear as the parents donned their sunglasses and packets of tissues were made available by friends. “I am not ready for his college semester abroad,” the dad told me later, still weepy eyed. Ever the realist, I said “He’s nine -- let’s worry about this later.” We sent our three oldest children to sleep away camp this year, leaving our younger three at home. This was the first summer away for my older son and while we were concerned he might get emotional when it was time to say good-bye, he boarded the bus like a champ. After the buses pulled out and I got back in the car with my younger clan, I was curious to see how the new pecking order would emerge. While in many other families the next in line is clearly delineated by age order, our next in line are twins who have just finished kindergarten. True that one child is older than the other, but not by very much. Who came out first and how much earlier does not often matter and rarely crosses our minds, but it obviously matters to some. As we drove away from the buses, the conversation ensued between them as to who would sit next to our toddler on the bus to and from day camp on a daily basis. My son, the older twin, proclaimed that it should be his job and explained why. “I should sit with her,” he said, “because I am more responsible.” (His word, not mine.) My daughter, his better half, took offense at his comment. Although I am not convinced she knew what the word “responsible” meant, she definitely knew she was being insulted. The ranting and raving began as she asserted that they should switch off sitting with our toddler because that plan was fair. He was not convinced and I decide to wait a little before intervening. When he would not back down, however, it was time for a reality check. Turning to my son who had quickly gone from “older brother” to “fascist dictator,” I reminded him that he was barely older than she was. “It was only a minute,” I said to him, a tinge of anger in my voice, but he was prepared with a response. “A minute is long enough,” he said, and thus solidified his place in the food chain. Playing the role of Solomon, however, I decreed that they would indeed switch off sitting with their younger sister on the bus. (For fans of The Ten Com-

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

ARE ZOMBIES COMING TO THE FIVE TOWNS?

“I walked with a zombie, I walked with a zombie, I walked with a zombie, Last night” “I Walked with a Zombie” Copyright Roky Erickson

ometimes, late at night, I get the fear that The Five Towns of Long Island will sometime soon be overrun by undead zombies. I know what you’re thinking. “Wow, you mean someone else is worried about the exact thing that I am?” Yes. Even Big Ed Mangano must be concerned with this, too. In fact, two slabs of rock solid evidence that the Nassau County Exec. must be worried about an imminent attack from the other side, is that he merged police precincts – to better consolidate from the probable inﬂux of zombies – and two, is racing to sell the sewers. Presumably, the sewers and sewer treatment system will be sold to not merely the highest bidder, but to the buyer who best guarantees to Nassau County that it will protect us from any poten-

tial zombie threat which may emanate from “below” snaking through the damp, labyrinthine underground channels. So, the words of the week are: “Zombie Threat.” Are you also concerned about the zombies? Well, you say you only care about the economy. So, what about zombie banks and voodoo economics? How about, a president who some believe to be a zombie? Why do think that those in-the-know are “zombie-prooﬁng” their homes, cars and sheds? It is a recognized principle that you can drive a new Ferrari, but if it is not able to “ﬂame-throw” and batter hundreds of undead zombies trying to take over your estate in Hewlett Harbor, you might as well drive a Hyundai and live on Peninsula Boulevard! So, heed my warning folks. Especially those of you who are right now frying out your frontal lobes on the sands of the Sunny Atlantic Beach Club, where membership in the Young Israel of Woodmere, includes a free locker with no shower there. Oh, and

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing off and reiterating to you: “Watch out for zombies!” And, if you ever need a place to fortify yourself, come visit me in my small Italianate homestead, Audubon Estate, in the exclusive Woodmere-Enclave of Wemphis, On-Long-Island…I’m on North Elvis Presley Boulevard … and I’m the “last house of the left!”

don’t think you are safe on the beach. No, no, no….zombies may hate water, but they love the sand And, they don’t need sunscreen. Now, next time you are sitting in your Bed Bath and Beyond special-Italian folding beach chair with matching telescoping umbrella, unobtrusively look over your shoulder, or maybe even to the right and left of you. Oh, you never know when a zombie may be waiting patiently to chomp off your upper arm, or maybe the round part of your thigh. Tomorrow, I want all of you beach club members to ask your “cabana boys” and “life guards,” to be extra-vigilant to protect each and everyone one of you from the impending zombie invasion. Any teenage valet may be able to move beach furniture, refresh your “iced latte,” and do a “tequila run,” but how many can effectively pre-empt and thwart an advancing 6 foot 5 inch individual who just happens to be a card-carrying member of the “Zombie Army.” Trust me, not many! So, for those of you who are skeptical, or too-cool-to-beschooled in this almost-unstoppable foe, I have just one scene to lay on you: Central Avenue at 9:00 a.m. on every summer’s day – eerie, empty and evil. If, that ain’t evidence that zombies walk among us…I don’t know what is!

LIBERAL VOICE

Your Affordable Care Act By Leonard Hoffman

merican exceptionalism is a catch phrase that everyone loves to use. We are unique in many ways and when it comes to healthcare we have been exceptionally obtuse. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the twisted arms in Congress and the twisted language in the law, overcame the twisted logic that people don’t need healthcare as a human right. All industrialized countries and some third world countries recognize and act upon the understanding that it is in their nation’s good to insure their citizens’ health. The health care bill that has passed through the Supreme Court will never be repealed. America is the only industrial country that does not provide healthcare to all its citizens. There are complaints in every other country about problems with the health care system but they each have a system which does not allow people to go untreated. Overwhelmingly, citizens in other countries want the system they have instead of no public system at all. They have a system that allows for fundamental health care benefits to keep people reasonably healthy. And they pay taxes, understanding the taxes go to support their healthcare. We are still subject to the private insurance based form of healthcare. People earn magnificent sums to run companies in which they employ people specifically to figure out how to deny people healthcare. We have the only national Medicare system that does not allow the government to negotiate drug prices. What a disgrace! When the country’s historians look back to this point in time they will recognize the one great thing about the health care law that is now established constitutional law. The law could not have been fixed and molded and tweaked until it was law. You can’t fix something that does not exist and now we can fix the law. The problems with this bill surroundS its cost because it still re-

lies on private insurance. The private, for profit (Switzerland requires health insurance companies to be non-profit) insurance system leads to systemic problems. The currently devised ACA has unwittingly set in motion some things to exacerbate these problems. In the fee for service system we now have, insurance companies had an incentive to deny you care and in many respects that did not disappear. The problem now is the law requires the companies to pay a minimum percentage of their outlays for actual expenses instead of overhead. In practice, this may lead to problems similar to Defense Department “cost plus contracts.” In other words, if the company spends more for healthcare it will be entitled to spend more overhead and administration (which includes executive salaries). With private fee for service, doctors still have incentive to do more testing, particularly if they can charge for the tests themselves. The conversation about tort reform enters here. If a doctors’ liability is limited, the argument goes, he will not find the need for unnecessary tests. However, many of those tests are their bread and butter. Limited liability will benefit insurance companies because doctors must still buy insurance though they might need less of it. Thus you can see that national insurance is the logical way to go and it is why all other countries spend only one half as much per person as we do while our health fares worse overall. With national insurance, everyone with the capacity and inclination to become a doctor can go to school and graduate with zero student loans. He or she can then practice medicine with zero malpractice insurance. We as society will guarantee to take care of someone suffering from malpractice. (The government will pull a license if a doctor or nurse grows incompetent and a centralized database will more quickly spot it). Evidence, not profits will lead to better testing choices and procedures. The public will have an incentive to

blow the whistle on fraud since it is their system being defrauded. They will also be more likely to listen to medical advice if they know it is intention, not proﬁt based. Drug companies presently spend more on advertising than research for their drugs. That huge savings (some countries forbid drug advertising) can be diverted to purchasing more of those necessary drugs at lower cost for all Americans. Negotiating lower prices is the hallmark of capitalism which seems to be of no concern to Republicans or Democrats in Congress. It was one of our many bargains with the devil. Slowly but surely the ability to buy into Medicare at lower cost (public option) instead of private insurance, a drug policy that requires the country negotiate prices, and the installation of a medical records process (that does not require a 58-year-old columnist to answer questions about childhood diseases each time he goes to a doctor) will seriously bring down costs. Fundamentally, a shift to a tax in lieu of insurance premiums is the great transformation to be accomplished. Perhaps right-wing talk show hosts will stop railing that the government is telling you what you can or cannot eat and instead welcome public service announcements that make people think more about becoming and staying healthy. Those talk show hosts will claim that socialist forces have taken over. This is not a defeat for Microsoft that is entitled to sell Excel and Word. It is not a beginning to a mandate that everyone is entitled to a Chevy Volt. Healthcare (and food) are basic human needs that a country as rich as ours can provide logically and affordably. Insurance is the process of spreading risk. Since everyone will need health care at some point, a national healthcare system is simply the method a country adopts to create the largest pool of insured. American exceptionalism will kick in again at some point. We can look at many other systems and craft one that takes the best practices of them. As the lovably quoted Winston Churchill (whose country adopted a National Health Service in 1948) said: “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing -- after they’ve tried everything else.”

SCENE AT SEA

STING O’ THE SEA

Onboard Tales from Captain “Sting” Ray Skydell This week’s episode:

“Blue Monday”

e were just east of the Captree Causeway, angling for Blues this Monday morning, after a busy Sunday at sea, in which we wrestled two small hammerheads onboard “Sting O’ The Sea,” my 1969 Chris-Craft Commander. “Sting-O,” as she is affectionately referred to, is a 42 foot fishing boat of the “old school” variety – hand-crafted back when they made vessels to last and take a hundred continuous 20 foot waves crashing down on deck. Now, mind you, tackling a couple of 12 foot sharks, is not exactly a hard day at sea, but these hammers were unusually angry – like they wanted was to stick around to watch the Mets lose later that afternoon. I wound up whacking one of them in the head with my Callaway Big Bertha which I always keep on board for driving practice balls into the sea foam, or in the event, one of my questionable “guests” decides that illegal substances magically become legal once we reach “international waters,” and subsequently decides to use one of my strawshaped fishing plugs to inhale a few lines of Columbian “powdered sea salt” into his membraned-damaged shnozolla. Back to the sharks. The larger, but more lethargic of the pair, put on a magnificent dying scene, after I shot him with my spear gun – actually, this Hammerhead must have had his SAG (Screen Actors Guild) membership card -- because not since Elvis in Love Me Tender, has a sea mammal reenacted the death of Clint Reno with such evocative drama and emotional pathos! So, sharks, shmarks! I’ve

seen many come and go in my time, and I’d rather tangle with a feisty Marlin any day – especially a real big one who can drag a Buick over the waves while making it look like the Big Kahuna hanging ten! That is a thrill, I tell you, … a thrill! Now, this Monday morning, the Blues were suddenly all hitting at once, and let me say that a Bluefish on Monday morning is no hung-over fillet. No, the Bluefish is like the rooster, gets up at dawn and is ready for action. If a Bluefish was Jewish Orthodox male he would get up at 4:00 a.m. and pray with the “Vasikin Minyan” – a group of at least ten insane Jewish men who like to pray at dawn and then line up at the bagel store before it opens! This is the state of mind and body of the Bluefish on Monday morning. By 8:00 a.m., me, and my first mate, Manny “Mahi Mahi” Martinez, must have had about six big keepers thrashing in the “Sting-O’s” built in filtrated and aerated catch chamber– with the largest hovering at about 20 pounds. Suddenly, “Mahi Mahi” hits what appears to be the Loch Ness Monster – but, turns out to be a 60 pound Bluefish the size of a Kia Sedona. Just as we were about to continue vac-

uuming all of the Blueﬁsh out the sea, I got a call on the shipto-shore that two old lunatic friends from Bimini were waiting for us at the docks. Well, I can tell that “The Weird” just blew into town, and even, “all you can eat Blueﬁsh” must be put on hold to host these dudes who I affectionately refer to as “Double Trouble.” By the time we reached the dock, I noticed that these two mental cases were sitting on a wood bench, resting their feet on a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a small box of what appeared to be dynamite sticks, and a mesh beach bag containing four full bottles of Hornitos Brand tequila, a sack of fresh limes and an Uzi submachine gun. Well, I’ll check back in with all of you, again and, I’ll be sure to tell you how the rest of my “Blue Monday” turned out after “The Weird” blew into town! Editor’s Note – This being the height of summer and of the South Shore boating season, we will occasionally be featuring the intrepid tales of Captain “Sting” Ray Skydell between now and Labor Day to give fellow boaters and “landlubbers” a taste of the seas that surround our fair community and a whiff of the brisk salt air.

Rockaway Beach: The New Hipster Hamptons It’s Just Four Miles West and a Whole World Away from Here By Amanda Mayo

“G

o west, young man,” Horace Greeley stated in his 1865 editorial in The New York Tribune, a quote that was emblematic of America’s expansion westward and the notion of Manifest Destiny. Just as the west was an unknown frontier for Americans centuries ago, so too are The Rockaways for many Five Towners – that long peninsula right over the ramp at Seagirt Boulevard, a beach-lovers paradise waiting to be explored. In what seems like an almost overnight change, this stretch of sun, surf and sand is being pumped full of life again, turning Rockaway’s beaches into a hipster Hamptons.

Making A Comeback While most Five Towners like to go to Atlantic Beach, Long Beach and other points east, there are actually miles of pristine shoreline to the west of here, just over the Lawrence-Queens border.

‘60s and ‘70s. It’s where the cool kids from trendy Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint go to hang out, surf, catch some rays, chow down on delicious dishes and create a community that hasn’t had a heyday since the 1920s. Rockaway Beach, the main beach community in the Rockaways, is sandwiched between Arverne to the east and Rockaway Park to the west and covers a little over 68 acres. It is the largest urban beach in the United States, stretching for miles along the Rockaway Peninsula facing the Atlantic Ocean. Only the wealthy were able to afford homes on the beautiful waterfront property back at the turn of the 20th century. It was a resort beach town, until bridges, roads and railways were built and turned it into a year-round residential neighborhood. Low-income housing projects built in the 60’s and 70’s exacerbated a sharp economic decline that started earlier as small beach bungalows attracted many low-income year-round residents.

Rockaway Beach Today Just as Long Beach has seen its fortunes revive, Rockaway Beach is on a roll of rejuvenation. It is now a happening beach scene where anything goes. Dozens of blocks of low-income housing have been knocked down to make way for fancy new condos with ocean views, the boardwalk on the beach between Beach 86th Street and Beach 106th Street are now filled with gourmet beachside food stands and trendy twenty-something hipsters from Brooklyn and surrounding areas who come down to the Rockaways in droves to surf, take in some sun and play in the sand. Last summer, The Standard published an article on Rockaway Beach as “A New Hipster Paradise” (http://standardli.com/2011/07/ rockaway-beach-new-hipster-paradise/) – a summertime spot on the shoreline that is finally making a comeback after years of being a ghost town. Vendors kicked boardwalk food up a notch, fusing gourmet flavors into beach snacks and transforming the area in what seems like no time into a cool getaway.

Stuff To Do People are coming from all over the boroughs and Long Island to spend lazy summer days down at the beach. Rockaway Beach houses the only legal surf spot in New York City – between Beach 88th and Beach 90th streets – and surfers are there all year long. The New York Surf School (http://www. surﬂessonsnewyork101.com/) gives year-round surﬁng lessons down at Rockaway Beach starting around $70 for a group rate. Individual lessons are also available, as well as their Rockaway Beach Surf Camp, which starts at $100 for a full day of camp where experienced

the fancy of every palate. The famed Rockaway Taco, located at 95 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, is a popular destination serving up fish tacos, juices filled with mango, jicama, lime and cucumbers, and the average snacks like chips and guacamole ($4, family size $7), chips and salsa ($3) and tostadas ($4, deluxe $5). Thai Rock, another restaurant that’s situated right off the boardwalk, at 375 Beach 92nd Street, serves up authentic Thai flavors like Massaman curry, chicken satay and seafood options like red snapper with ginger sauce. The restaurant also offers jet skis, kayak and water sport rentals starting around $20 for kayaks and $65 for jet skis, karaoke on Wednesday nights and live music on the weekends. Motorboat and The Big Banana, another vendor situated right on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk, is a food establishment that serves up fish fry and chocolate-dipped frozen bananas. Fish is fried in a batter with Bud Light beer, fries are hand-cut and spicy creole sauce is poured on top of options like spice-rubbed shrimp po’boys. The Lobster Joint, another delicious boardwalk café option, serves up New England seaside sandwiches, including a heaping lobster roll on a toasted bun. Fresh fruit, ices, frozen yogurt and soft serve ice cream can be found next to The Lobster Joint, as well as DP Pizza, which serves up deep dish pizza by the slice and Pelicans Jungle II, which offers things like spicy and gooey grilled cheese for adults for $6. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a gourmet food cart on wheels on the day you choose to go down to the beach. Alexander Chaparro, of Venezuela, stays in Rockaway Beach during the summer and runs a food cart that offers hot dogs with toppings like fresh onions, cabbage, crushed potato chips and cheese for $4. Vegetarian hot dogs are avail-

surfers teach students how to ride the waves. The company also offers surf camp combined with relaxing yoga right on the beach. For lesson and camp information, call (718) 496-3371. Surfing isn’t your thing? That’s no problem. Rockaway Beach houses a few different playgrounds, basketball courts, handball courts and a beachside tennis court starting around Beach 86th Street. “It’s a nice break from the sand and direct sunlight on the beach,” George Romano, 27, of Brooklyn, said, stepping away from his basketball game for a minute. When hunger strikes down at the beach, there is now no end of delicious food options to satisfy your taste buds. For the beachgoer’s sweet tooth, Steve’s Craft Ice Cream serves up mouth-watering flavors like Mexican Chili Chocolate, Salty Caramel and Cinnamon Coffee in pretzel cones, regular cones or a cup starting around $4. Steve’s is located on the boardwalk at Beach 106th Street. Dria Atencio and Devinne Right next to Steve’s is the popular Caracas Arepa Bar, a trendy Gallagher, both of Brookspot where beachgoers can find delicious Venezuelan arepas (a type lyn, at Motorboat and the of corn pancake), empanadas and tropical drinks. The arepas and Big Banana. Photo by Amanda Mayo. empanadas come stuffed with items like shredded beef, cheeses, avocadoes and plaintains. Emapanadas start at $4 and arepas start at $7. Rachel Manning, of Far Rockaway, said she loves working down at the beach. “I love working on the boardwalk,” she said. “I love meeting new people – the people here are great.” The 26-year-old said she hung out at Caracas a lot last year, and liked it so much that she wanted to start working there this year. Making your way down the boardwalk, you would next come across the Low Tide Bar, at Beach 96th Street. The bar serves beers and organic wines right on the boardwalk (just remember – you can’t leave the designated seating area with an alcoholic drink in hand!). Erin Littlestar, of Brooklyn, said she started working at Low Tide Bar this summer and she loves being able to escape the city. “It’s always nice when you can just go ahead and jump in the ocean before or after work. It’s great down able, also for $4, as here,” the 28-year-old said. well as beef burgers One block away from the for $7 and a steak sandboardwalk and the ocean, wich for $8. Chaparro said A shrimp-filled appetizer beachgoers will find a mulhe loves the people in Rockfrom Thai Rock, a restautitude of restaurants that fit away Beach. “The first summer I rant in Rockaway Beach was here [last year], I made lots of that serves up more than friends. They’ve been so amazing just food. Patrons enjoy that this year we rented out a house karaoke on Wednesday so we don’t have to commute from Brooknights, as well as live music ly lyn,” he said. “We can live right here and experience on the weekends. R Rockaway Beach all summer long.” Photo courtesy of Thai Rock. Rockaway Beach has certainly made a comeback and if you’re planning on heading down there to spend the day, you don’t have to worry about packing lunch. Most of the food down on the boardwalk is under $10, but be sure to bring cash because most of the vendors don’t accept credit cards. Rockaway Beach is all the beachside getaway you need without the crowds. To get to Rockaway Beach, take Route 878 south to Seagirt Boulevard (the last exit before the Atlantic Beach bridge), then travel down Rockaway Beach Boulevard (or Edgemere Avenue) down to around Beach 80th Street – this is where the food vendors start along the boardw walk – it’s just four-and-a-half miles from Route 878 to arro, 27, B Beach 80th Street. Parking is free as long as it’s along the Alexander Chap his e id ts ou a, Shore S Front Parkway.

The Best of This Week’s Post 11pm Wit

Jimmy Fallon

David Letterman

“According to a poll by National Geographic, 65 percent of Americans said President Obama would better handle an invasion by space aliens than Mitt Romney. Well sure, once the aliens landed they’d see there’s no jobs and they’d go home.”

–Jay Leno “I secretly want Romney to win because, look, I’m a comedian. Mitt Romney is an ultra-Caucasian Mormon zillionaire who uses his dog as a hood ornament. For me not to secretly want him as President, it’s like Halliburton secretly not wanting a war.”

–Bill Maher “Last night was the big annual congressional baseball game between the Democrats and Republicans, and the Democrats won 18-5. Of course the Democrats won. Did you see who the umpire was? Chief Justice John Roberts.”

–Jay Leno “The Obamacare ruling makes Roberts the ﬁrst Republican to favor an insurance law with an individual mandate since, well, Mitt Romney.”

–Jay Leno “People will now have to have health insurance. The same way every driver in California has car insurance.”

–Jay Leno “If you’re an illegal immigrant in Arizona hoping to become a citizen so you can get free healthcare, this is the greatest week of your life.”

–Jay Leno “The Democratic Convention is $27 million in debt. They had to cancel the kickoff event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. A speedway is the perfect place for the Democratic Convention. You go around in circles, turn left ev-

ery few seconds, and you end up right where you started. “

–Jay Leno “Now that healthcare is guaranteed, I’m frying everything I eat. Fried food and cigarettes.”

–Craig Ferguson “A man is ﬁling a lawsuit against Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, claiming they have ties to al-Qaida. When al-Qaida heard this, they said, ‘Please do not lump us in with those maniacs.’”

–Conan O’Brien “Mitt Romney reminds me of the guy in high school who only has friends because his parents have a swimming pool.”

–David Letterman “While talking about the economy, Joe Biden said it’s a depression for millions of Americans. He used the word ‘depression’ to describe the economy. I don’t know if Mitt Romney has picked a running mate yet, but Joe Biden sounds like he’d be perfect.”

For a unique dining experience that’s sure to entertain, The Beach at The Sands of Atlantic Beach is a brand-new restaurant that serves up authentic barbeque food with a separate bar and lounge area, indoor and outdoor seating and a nightclub setting when the sun goes down all overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant’s dinner menu features classic barbeque comfort food with its own unique twist. Start out with

“A rare copy of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation sold for $2.1 million at an auction house in New York City. As you know, the Emancipation Proclamation is the document that freed the vampires.”

an order of “Burned Ends”, tender brisket that has been re-cooked until the ends are crispy, served over North Carolina vinegar slaw for $7.95. Barbecue nachos ($9.95), loaded fries ($7.95) and fried pickles ($5.25) are other yummy appetizer options. Platters filled with dry-rubbed Baby Back ribs, smoked brisket, barbeque chicken and pulled pork start at $12.95 are sure to make your mouth water just reading the description.

–Jay Leno “Yesterday morning Facebook was temporarily ofﬂine, leaving millions of workers unable to do anything except their jobs.”

Steve Byrne stars as Steve Sullivan in Sullivan & Son, a comedy coming to TBS on Thursday. Sullivan gives up life as a corporate attorney and his gorgeous girlfriend to take over his parents’ bar. Photo courtesy of TBS.

–Jay Leno “President Obama has a new ad that hits Mitt Romney’s business career by calling him an ‘outsourcer-inchief.’ Romney responded with an ad of his own — made by an excellent company in India.”

New on TV Sunday, July 15 3 Days To Open With Bobby Flay: FOOD 10:00 p.m. Criticallyacclaimed chef and owner of 15 restaurants Bobby Flay is saving new food businesses that are at risk to lose it all before they even open. Bobby offers his expertise in the high stakes world of food with only three days until the big opening to restaurateurs who have no prior experience. Everything is on the line – including savings, livelihood and integrity – and these new businesses need Bobby’s help or failure is imminent. They have big plans to

open a restaurant, but they have no clue how to do it. Can Bobby Flay save their dream in just three days? Flay assists the restaurateurs in money matters, restaurant setup, kitchen supplies, creating a menu, training staff, putting the dining room together and everything else that comes along with opening up a brand-new restaurant. In a test of will, skill and perseverance, these restaurant owner hopefuls are against the clock to make sure their opening night doesn’t become their closing night.

Thursday, July 19 Sullivan & Son: TBS 10:00

The dinner menu also offers sandwiches like a trio of sliders ($10.95), a popcorn chicken club ($10.95) and a build-your-own-burger option for $12.95. Seafood options are abound with unique dishes like blackened fish tacos ($12.95) and citrus grilled shrimp ($17.95). A full children’s

p.m. Set in a popular pub in a working-class Pittsburgh neighborhood, Sullivan & Son follows Steve Sullivan (Steve Byrne), a successful corporate attorney from New York who brings his girlfriend, Ashley (Brooke Lyons), home to Pittsburgh to meet his parents. Steve’s timing is impeccable, however, since his Irish-American father, Jack Sullivan (Dan Lauria), and Korean mother, Ok Cha (Jodi Long), are preparing to retire and sell the family business – a bar called Sullivan & Son. The bar is a hot spot among locals – the unofﬁcial “town hall” to the neighborhood. It doesn’t take long for Steve to realize that what he really wants out of life is to return to his old neighborhood and take over Sullivan & Son, even if it means giving up a lavish Manhattan lifestyle with

the gorgeous Ashley. Steve begins his quest for a more meaningful and rewarding life … behind the bar.

New in Movies Friday, July 13 Grassroots: R. It’s the year 2001 – before Twitter, before the ﬂash mob and before Barack Obama. A political unknown named Grant Cogswell (Joel David Moore) decides he must take down Seattle City Councilman Richard McIver (Cedric the Entertainer). Cogswell has only one dream, but it’s a big one – an elegant monorail gliding silently above the city’s wet streets, with only a tiny footprint on the ground. He is apoplectic with rage over McIver’s mass tran-

LEGISLATIVE VOICE

McCarthyCare, Right Back Where We Started CONTINUED FROM P. A6 have already been 12,000 pages written to implement the plan. Did you know also that the IRS will be hiring 16,500 new agents to enforce the penalty (or collect the tax as the Supreme Court suggests—yes this is America, can you believe it?) Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy thinks this is all good. She believes in big government. She is an extremist when it comes to government intruding in our lives. That is why I have often stated she is out of touch with her district and its middle class values. Truly, has the government ever implemented in a competent and ﬁnancially sound way any program in its entire history? Look at Medicare, Social Security, the Post Ofﬁce, they are all going broke. I highly doubt McCarthyCare will be anything but a disaster. If there was ever a time not

to add a new entitlement/welfare program to the cost of running our government, it is now. I am concerned for the future and what kind of country I am going to leave my children and grandchildren, if there is a country left at all. Soon, we may be asking Greece to bail us out. In three and half years we have added $5 trillion to our national debt. The Congressional Budget Ofﬁce says the cost to implement the mandate is now $1.76 trillion, not the $940 billion originally projected. Where is the money going to come from? Take all the money and wealth from Forbes magazine’s wealthiest in the country and it does not add up to this amount. This is insanity. Carolyn McCarthy must be held accountable in November for putting us into this terrible mess which threatens our country and its very existence, let alone its future. One thing I don’t understand

is that no matter what your political philosophy, how is our country going to pay for this new entitlement and welfare program? We currently have the ﬁnest healthcare in the world. Yes, we need reforms as to access and to cost. But that doesn’t mean you throw out the baby with the bathwater, which is what McCarthyCare in fact does. November may be one of the most important elections in our country’s history. We need less government, not more government. With the Supreme Court decision, we are right back were we started. It is all now back in the hands of the people. To defeat McCarthy/ Obamacare, we have to change the people we send to Washington. We need to send people there who are willing to repeal and replace this dreadful and costly mandate. That is exactly what I will do if elected to Congress.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Vocabulary Lesson CONTINUED FROM P. A6 mandments: “So it shall be written and so it shall be done.”) Continuing to assume their roles as the oldest children in the house, the conversation in my car then turned to “inappropriate language” they know they are not allowed to say. Being big kids, it seemed to them that the next thing they should know is what all of the bad words were that I do not allow. There are two words I do not tolerate in my home: retarded and hate. I have no patience for either one and often ﬁnd myself correcting adults when they say these things as well. All of my children know these words are not acceptable and are rapidly learning that there are other words that bother me as well, though not to the same degree. Fortunately for me, my twins

could not remember what those words were and did not have older siblings around for consultation. Instead, they put their heads together in an attempt to ﬁgure them out. “What is the F word?” I heard my daughter ask my son as I froze in horror. He thought for a moment and then it came to him. “FAT!” he exclaimed with a smile on his face, as if hitting the jackpot. I breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could bask in his glory, however, my daughter turned on him the way only a woman could. “Mommy!” she cried, pointing at her brother. “He called me fat!” Truth be told, to any woman “fat” really is the “F word” so I knew exactly what she was talking about. But the conversation did not end there. “What’s the S word?” asked my son. I have often referred to

“stupid” as the “S word” and cannot stand when someone is referred to as stupid. Something can be stupid, like a fool’s errand or a bad movie, but a person may not be referred to that way. Again, I hung back and listened to the conversation unfold instead of intervening. I was convinced they would remember it was “stupid.” This time, it took them longer to come up with an answer and it was not what I had expected. Before long, a light bulb went off over my son’s head. “SHNITZEL!” he exclaimed, and I did all I could to contain my laughter. A little later, I told my husband about the events in my car. While we both got a good laugh out of the story, I pointed out the obvious: If this is the WORST language we heard the entire summer, we were going to be just ﬁne.

Gotta Get One of Joel Baruchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bagels (and Bobkas)

By Amanda Mayo

t four oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock every morning, before the crack of dawn, before the birds are chirping and before most people are waking up for work, Joel Baruch heads down to his bagel shop in Woodmere to begin baking the fresh bagels and pastries of the day. The smells of freshly-baked everything bagels, Challah rolls, danishes and chocolate rugeluch ďŹ ll the air once the ďŹ rst customers start to arrive at Gotta Getta Bagel at 6:00 a.m. Baruch said he got started in the bagel business about 17 years ago, when he decided that his job in the insurance industry wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fulďŹ lling enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to open a bagel store,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I hired someone to teach me how to make bagels.â&#x20AC;? Born in Queens, Baruch attended Yeshiva High School of Queens and then went on to Queens College, where he graduated with a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Arts degree in Communications. He said he simply needed a job after college, so he answered an ad one day for a job at an insurance agency, a place that he went on to work for about ďŹ ve years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was an insurance investigator,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making enough money and I wanted to own a bagel store instead.â&#x20AC;? Even though the career change didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like a big deal at the time, it came to deďŹ ne Baruch as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bagel manâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a calling in life to cater to the neighborhood, making sure everyone is well-fed and happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need a seat?â&#x20AC;? Baruch asked one of his customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sit here, sit here!â&#x20AC;? He would give up his seat for anyone who comes into his bagel shop. He treats every customer like family, and says he loves the feeling that his bagel shop is like a mini-neighborhood within The Five Towns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows me in the neighborhood, and here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like Cheers!â&#x20AC;? You only have to tell Baruch your name once â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because he is sure to remember it, a characteristic that sets him apart from other bagel shops in the area. People love coming in to see Baruch and get that tight-knit

feeling of being at home before or during their morning breakfast shufďŹ&#x201A;e. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meeting people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I like best,â&#x20AC;? he said. Two years before he opened Gotta Getta Bagel, in 1997, Baruch moved to The Five Towns, where he currently resides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy access for me,â&#x20AC;? he said of his Woodmere residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right around the corner from work.â&#x20AC;? And, with a schedule like his, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that work is right around the corner. Every morning when Baruch starts making the bagels, breads

Baruch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bagels, pastries, mufďŹ ns, challah rolls â&#x20AC;Ś it all has to be fresh.â&#x20AC;? He said he also ďŹ lls up the extensive salad bar at this time, a popular lunchtime staple with a seemingly endless supply of toppings, dressings and greens. For Baruch, making bagels has become second nature to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You start with mixing the ingredients â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ďŹ&#x201A;our, salt, yeast, etcetera,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you let the dough rise, and you kettle [boil] the individual bagels for a couple of seconds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the water has to be at a rolling boil.â&#x20AC;? The next step, he said, is to put the bagels in a 500 degree oven for about 15 minutes and then a fresh, delicious bagel is born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make a lot in that ďŹ rst early-morning batch, dozens upon dozens of bagels,â&#x20AC;? Baruch said, adding that he has to make even more bagels than what customers see in the store because he

When the bagels are starting to run out at Gotta Getta Bagel, Baruch begins the process again to make more. This could happen a few times each day, he said. Baruch said his favorite bagel is an everything bagel. Yanky Fontek, of Far Rockaway, has been working for Baruch for the last four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good boss,â&#x20AC;? Fontek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to all of his workers, he takes care of his workers. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also extremely hospitable and wonderful to his customers.â&#x20AC;? Baruch treats everyone like family and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder that his large clientele keeps coming back for more. A lot of his business is devoted to catering, he said, and catering packages are done for everything from family get-togethers to Bar/Bat Mitzvahs to birthday parties and more. Baruchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitality even shines through his daily bagel specials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you buy one dozen bagels, you get six free. Pastries are sold for a low price, starting at $2.00 for muf-
