McCarthy Has Wide Lead in Fundraising

INCUMBENT HAS MORE THAN ONE MILLION ON HAND

MANY BIDS, CONFUSION ON NO. 6 SCHOOL SALE; NEW BUYER IN THE MIX By Danielle Puma Confusion reins over the sale of the Number Six School on Church Avenue in Woodmere. Dr. Kenneth L. Berman, Past President and current Chairman of the Jewish Community Center Board, said the JCC’s $1 million deposit was recently returned to them by the School Board. Their offer to purchase the Number Six School currently stands at $10.5 million. “We were told that the school board was putting the sale on hold for the time being,” said Berman.

The JCC would bring a community center to The Five Towns to expand their programs and services if their bid is chosen. Berman said it would bring additional jobs into the neighborhood and become a meeting place for large events and celebrations. “We met during July with the real estate committee of the School District 15 School Board and had fruitful discussions,” said Berman. Richard Hagler, Executive Director of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach, said he had

As Dennis O’ Rourke sat alongside his family at the 9-11 Memorial Ceremony held in Cedarhurst’s Andrew J. Parise Park Tuesday afternoon, the crisp, blue sky and glistening sun provided a somber backdrop as families paid tribute to their lost loved ones. “It never gets easier. I talk about it now and still get goosebumps,” Rourke said. His brother, Kevin O’ Rourke, who was a first responder with Rescue 2 in Brooklyn, died that day.

“We’re luckier than some other families in the sense that we recovered his remains, but it’s still tough to deal with,” he said. Members of the Lawrence-Cedarhurst and Inwood fire departments carried American flags and saluted the names of local victims. The memorial also featured speeches from politicians such as Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you, our hearts ache with your hearts, and we pray that the

Hewlett Cheerleaders Training Just as Hard as Most Athletes By Danielle Puma

The Hewlett High School Varsity Cheerleading Squad is bringing their ‘A’ game and their new athletic attitude this season. The girls on the squad are training as hard as the guys on the football team for their first appearance at the upcoming Pep Rally at the end of this month. Jennifer Tuminello, the head coach and a 4th grade teacher at Ogden Elementary School, said they had 57 girls try out this year for both the JV and varsity squads and 33 girls were chosen. She trains the

varsity squad like any other sports team would be trained before a game. “Once our practices started in late August, we made them run, do pushups and sit-ups -- everything that real athletes do. These girls work just as hard, if not harder, than most athletes. It’s rough that people don’t see that because they wear skirts and not jerseys,” said Tuminello. Tuminello said her girls show off their jumps and stunts during practices, but believes they have not reached the high-

Two officers with the Fourth Precinct suffered injures while trying to arrest a Queens man on Lawrence Avenue last Thursday evening, police said. According to detectives, George J, Towns, 27, of Jamaica, Queens, was walking southbound on Lawrence Avenue yelling and cursing, which caused neighbors to become alarmed. Officers from the Fourth Precinct attempted to arrest Towns, but he fought with

OFFICERS ASSAULTED IN MAKING 5T ARREST

The Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department will finally have clarity on the $2 million two-bay extension they want to build on Washington Avenue, according to Benjamin Weinstock, Deputy Mayor of Cedarhurst. Upwards of 25 firefighters showed up in uniform to the Cedarhurst Town Board meeting on Tuesday night to demand resolution to the issue

of an upgrade to their firehouse, which was originally built in 1902. Before LCFD First Assistant Chief John McHugh could plead his case, however, Weinstock asked if he could speak first. When McHugh obliged Weinstock profusely thanked all the firefighters for their work and said what a pleasure it was to see them all there. He then told

them, causing himself and the officers to fall to the ground. Police said that as Towns was being placed into the rear of a patrol car he kicked and shoved the officers, who suffered injuries as a result. Police said one officer had a sprained wrist, sprained shoulder and a neck injury. Towns also bit the officer on the hand. The other officer suffered a sprained wrist, sprained shoulder and minor injuries to his arm and leg. Towns was charged with two counts of Assault in the second degree, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. He was arraigned on Friday, September 7th at First District Court in Hempstead.

what the building was worth,” said Hagler. Hagler has been told that nothing is going on in regard to the Number Six School property and remains updated through what he reads in the newspapers. “The sign is still up there in front of the school. I don’t know if my bid is good or not good. But [the school board] never sent the bid back to me,” said Hagler. Bnot Shulamith, an all-girl’s school housed in three different locations in the area, has been rumored to have placed a bid to purchase the property. Gary Schall, Superintendent of Lawrence Public Schools, said he does not know the price of the bid that Shulamith may have placed. “I could not say for sure, but I do believe [Shulamith] has placed a bid. As the Superintendent, I am the one designated to comment on the official ac-

tions that the board takes. Nothing has been officially reported, but the board is moving very efficiently,” said Schall. Yitzchok Zimmerman, Executive Director of Bnot Shulamith, was unable to confirm the bid by press time. David Sussman, Lawrence Board of Education Trustee and Republican candidate for New York State Assembly, said no decision has been made to determine what bid the school board will choose. “My understanding is that it’s still open for people to make bids and we are looking for the best price and best use for the community. The Number Six School is a very special property and we want to be sure that it’s in the best interest of the community,” said Susssman. Sussman said the board members are not rushing the bidding process because there are many factors to sort through in regard to the property, including the price.

McCarthy Has Wide Lead in Fundraising CONTINUED FROM P. A1 ocratic candidate, has raised $1,748,917 as of the last reporting of her campaign finances on June 30th 2012 with the Federal Election Commission. Currently her campaign has about $1,016,246 on hand. Her opponent Francis Becker, who lost to McCarthy in the 2010 election, has raised $55,104, with $12,058 on hand as of the June 30th filing with the FEC. And the other challenger in the race, Frank Scaturro, raised $156,047, with $42,834 on hand, according to the FEC filings from June 30th. The next official public disclosure of campaign finances from the Federal Election Commission is on October 15th. According to the FEC, McCarthy has received about $1,144,197 from individual contributions, and about $599,607 from NonParty PACs or other committees. Her campaign manager, Rasheida Smith, said that $100,000 of those numbers has come from individual contributions within the district. “She enjoys support from a nationwide base of supporters who recognize her status as one of a small minority of women in Congress, as well as her nationally-acclaimed accomplishments and mission,” Smith said in a statement. Becker’s campaign manager, Hilary Becker, said that Becker runs a more grassroots campaign compared to his opponent McCarthy, and that her substantial funds causes an un-

fair advantage for challengers to incumbents. “We’re a grassroots organization and our fundraising mostly consists of people scratching together whatever money they can,” he said. Becker has also been hosting fund raising events nearly every night of the week since August throughout the district. In this election cycle, $53,810 of Becker’s funds came from individual contributions, with $350 coming from non-party PACs and other committees, according to the FEC. But his campaign in 2010 took in $307,510, with $39,475 coming from non-party committees, according to the FEC. “I don’t know if we’ll put together anything close to those numbers again, but of course we would like it,” Becker said. “The only way we could really compete financially is if we get a substantial amount of money from PACs, so hopefully some are willing to step up and get behind our cause.” According to data from the FEC, McCarthy’s largest donations have come from Political Action Committees such as the American College of Cardiology Political Action Committee, which contributed $5,000 on September 19, 2011. The American Postal Workers Union Committee on Political Action also gave $5,000 to the McCarthy campaign on June 25th 2012. And the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen PAC Fund also donated $5,000 on June 30th 2011.

County Says Pensions Will Bankrupt Govts. CONTINUED FROM P. A1 gos said after he received pension contribution estimates for 2014. The State Comptroller estimated that Nassau County will pay $210.9 million in 2014, up from $184.6 million in 2013, and up from $96.9 million in 2010. According to the statement from Maragos, this latest increase of 14.3 percent in 2014 will bring the total increase since 2010 to approximately 118 percent. But Maragos said even more notable is that the County pension costs, as a percentage of payroll, will be increased by 125 percent, from 10.9 percent to 24.5 percent, of overall payroll costs. Governor Andrew Cuomo and the State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli have not given any assurances that these double digit increases will not continue and may actually go even higher if the U.S. and global economies weaken. “The latest Tier 6 pension level for new hires will provide little if any relief. A more compre-

hensive solution needs to be found by the Albany lawmakers that will guarantee the pensions promised to our municipal employees without bankrupting the municipalities,” Maragos said in his statement. Governor Cuomo’s Tier 6 pension plan to reform the pension system for state public employees has been met with harsh criticism from labor unions across the State, stating that a Tier 6 plan would drastically cut pension benefits for new employees. Basically, Cuomo’s plan reduced benefits for new public employees, and raised the retirement age from 62 to 63. According to statistics from the Fiscal Policy Institute, under the new plan an employee of 30 years will receive 50 percent of their final average salary. Under the former Tier 5 plan, that same employee received 60 percent of their final average salary. But even with these adjustments, the increasing costs of maintaining these pensions have hurt local governments throughout New York State, ac-

“The last thing any board member would want is to rush to judgment. We are thinking it through and seeing what’s out there. We weigh in everything – it won’t just be about the most or the least amount of money. There are multiple factors such as the use of the fields, building usage and price, of course,” said Sussman. Schall said the public will have the final say at a public referendum after a decision is made by the school board. “It is the board’s responsibility to bring forward the highest offer. They have a fiscal responsibility to ensure that. I would say the number one driving force, like in any business transaction, is the amount of dollars. It goes back to the schools,” said Schall. Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan has reportedly placed a bid of over $12 million in hopes to build a new multi-doctor practice. At the current time, the board still remains open to new bids and no deadline has been set to make a decision. “These aren’t easy decisions to make with such a unique property,” said Sussman.

The McCarthy campaign also managed to bring in $12,750 from Votesane.com, which is a website through which contributions come in from individual donors. Much like the campaign contribution website ActBlue, the donations that pour into this Political Action Committee come from numerous individuals, not a single donation from the Votesane PAC, according to McCarthy’s campaign manager. By the end of the 2010 election, McCarthy had raised a total of $1,684,444, according to the FEC. About $966,763 of that came from individual contributions, and about $711,748 came from non-party PACs or other committees, according to filings from the FEC from December 31, 2010. Becker’s campaign manager said that McCarthy also gains an advantage when it comes to buying ads on television, as the Becker campaign cannot afford to run ads during primetime. “She gets a spot for an 8:00 p.m. ad, and we can’t afford to put anything on until 3:00 a.m., so of course it’s very frustrating for challengers to try and compete with incumbents.” The Conservative Party candidate, Frank Scaturro, has raised $156,047, according to the FEC. He has not received any money from PACs, acquiring most of his funds from individual contributions, according to the FEC. A representative of Scaturro did release a brief statement on the current campaign on the candidate’s behalf. He said that they are excited going into this election and are simply continuing to get the word out about Scaturro message.

cording those advocating for a reduction in pension costs. “The new Tier 6 level is not enough to solve the current problem,” Maragos said. Nassau County Legislator Howard Kopel agreed with Maragos on the issue of pension reform. “It’s a big problem. These pensions are choking county taxpayers,” he said. “Public unions were formed for a good purpose, but now they are destroying cities and states.” Comptroller Maragos echoed that sentiment in his statement, warning that pension contribution costs are increasing “at an alarming rate.” “These types of increases are unsustainable, may bankrupt every municipality and will cause even further job losses. Again, I call on State lawmakers to immediately address the skyrocketing pension contribution issue that they have been aware of and avoided for the past three years since 2010,” he said. County Executive Ed Mangano also called on Albany to find a solution: “Pension reform is essential to stabilizing finances for municipalities across the nation. I stand ready to work with our state leaders to bring relief to all counties across New York.”

Oliner said he is not worried about the LCFD’s ability to repay the loan. “It’ll be easy. We’d be lending it to ourselves since they are funded by us.” The major issue with the firehouse is that older apparatuses were custom built to fit into the bays, and the newer equipment

where you can really see the divide between the Hewlett girls and the rest of the teams. These squads have at least half a team of tumblers and we only have one. We go against squads that have been cheering for years and our girls start at 14 years old. We don’t have the same background as these girls.” Tuminello said her squad has it rough when it comes to performing their routines during a game due to the lack of the crowd’s involvement. She is hoping to change that this year when people see the hard work they have put into their new routines. “Unfortunately for them, the only crowd members that get involved are their moms. It’s

sad. To be honest, I think in the past, Hewlett cheerleading was looked at as more as a club. We have tried so hard to have the girls believe they are athletes. I think now they understand how much work they are putting in and it is paying off. And they do have people now coming up to them after their pep rally and after their games saying, ‘Wow, that was awesome!’ They are doing things they have never done before. So hopefully the crowd will start to notice the work these girls have been putting in.” This year the squad is working on their new ‘Wow stunts’ that will be seen for the first time at the Pep Rally on September 28th and at the Homecoming game on September 29th. The girls are

consistently practicing their new routine, which takes a lot of time and energy to perfect. “It takes dedication and you have to be selfless. You can’t come into our squad thinking it’s all about you because it’s not. You can’t always be the girl on the top of the pyramid. Sometimes you have to be in the background shaking the pom-poms. It’s a selfless sport and it’s difficult.” The Hewlett Cheerleading squad enjoys working together as athletes and having camaraderie with one another. Tuminello also enjoys spending time with the girls and watching them laugh and grow together as a team. “A lot of the girls were my for-

mer students and I just get a kick out of watching them grow up into these young women. I was a former cheerleader so it’s so much fun for me to get involved again. I’m very hands-on with them. I get right into the stunting and all the physical aspects. I love it.” Tuminello said her squad will show off all their hard work this upcoming season and hopes that the girls will grow even stronger in the years to come and be recognized in doing so. “I just want these girls to have the recognition they deserve because they work so hard and they get so beat up at these practices. I would just really love it if people would appreciate them just as much as I do.”

simply does not fit anymore. “They’ve got a 20-year-old truck that was built specifically to fit into their current space that’s beyond repair. It’s at the end of its life and needs to be replaced but the new trucks are much taller,” said Weinstock. Secondly, the limited space in the firehouse forces the firefighters to park emergency vehicles behind one another. In the case of water emergencies their boat and trailer combination is too long to fit inside the bay, according to Weinstock. McHugh mentioned this as well saying, “We have to move a truck to get the boat out because they’re stacked behind each other. Then we’ve got to hook

the boat to the trailer and that could be two or three extra minutes which is very valuable.” McHugh also said that beyond the inconvenience and extra time spent getting the vehicles out, safety is a huge concern too. “There’s very little height and we don’t want any-

thing similar to what happened to Paul Brady,” said McHugh. Brady was a Malverne firefighter who was doing routine maintenance on a truck when another fireman pulled the truck out and crushed Brady. The last expansion of the LCFD firehouse was a three-bay

extension in 1971, that did not include any improvements in terms of office space. This work, which McHugh expects to take about a year to complete, will not only comfortably fit the most modern apparatuses, but will also set aside an entire floor for new offices.

Hewlett Seniors Delighted to be Back in the Land of Linoleum By Cherie Luo

s the last beach day slowly ebbed away at the beginning of September, students of Hewlett High School were once again reminded of the familiar ring of the morning bell and the sound of excited chatter in the halls. Most students are reluctant to give up summer vacation: the good old days of sleeping in and hiding away in air-conditioned rooms. But on Sept. 4th, the first day of school, I was glad to be back in my second home of linoleum tiles and poster-plastered walls. The journey for the past three years has been an adventure: starting out as tiny, unassuming freshman worried about getting lost in the high school jungle, to moving up the ranks sophomore year while taking our first

AP class. We conquered the perils of junior year as the battles against the notorious SATs and ACTs were fought and won. Now what? As seniors of Hewlett High School, we know our way around the jungle. Are we finally allowed to sit back and relax? Not quite. This year will be packed and as busy as ever. Fall season sports have already begun in full swing. Starting at the end of August, Hewlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports teams have been practicing relentlessly in preparation for upcoming games, meets and matches. In Hewlett, the athletics are taken very seriously. As a member of Hewlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Swimming and Diving Team, I understand the huge commitment of being on a sports team and that participating on a sports team is not only physically taxing but also mentally exhausting. Hewlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Varsity Football

Cherie Luo

is currently a Senior at Hewlett High School. She is a member of the Steering Committee for District 14â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Leadership Forum, the Executive Board of Mock Trial, the Cabaret Night Business Staff, and is a contributor to the HHS newspaper, Spectrum. She also dives competitively for the Hewlett Swimming/Diving Team and pole vaults for the Track Team.

team had its first game at Bethpage High School on the night of Sept. 8th. As a team ranked under Bethpage in the conference, Hewlett was not expected to come out on top. But in the last two minutes of the game, Hewlett scored the winning touchdown and victory belonged to the Bulldogs. This game was especially important for the Hewlett Football Team because it represented their determination to win despite the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original expectations. Peter Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aunt May that once said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;With great power comes great responsibility.â&#x20AC;? Not only is this profound message applicable to Parker and his burning internal conflicts, but this message also applies to most high school seniors who have passed the road test. On Monday, Sept. 10th, Hewlett High School will have its first Senior Meeting to address the school parking lot and its parking requirements. Many Hewlett seniors drive their car to school and leave it in the parking lot during the day. However, the parking lot is shared with Hewlettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior center and students are only allowed to park in the school lot every oth-

er day. Being that I live a sevenminute walk away from the high school, I will not be amongst the seniors who circle the lot five times to find a parking spot. With little freshmen nervously wandering the halls, glancing at the hundreds of posters advertising school clubs, Hewlett High School has decided to hold the first Z-day on Friday, Sept. 14th. Every year in early September, a Z-day is held to introduce the new students to the extra-curricular activities that Hewlett has to offer. On Friday, all classes (except for the lunch periods) will

The pressure of college admissions has already been sneaking up on us during the summer vacation. With college deadlines around the corner and a packed schedule for the school-year, I know this year will be one of the most exciting ones yet.

While the freshmen are getting a feel for the co-curricular activities of Hewlett High School, sophomores, juniors and seniors will sit through several sets of orientations that delineate new school rules and any upcoming important events. Every year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always reminded of the mysterious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zâ&#x20AC;? in Z-day.

Pick Wick Wins Shul League Championship By Raimundo Ortiz

scintillating half-inning of the Shul League season. Templeman singled to get Pick Wick going. Unger then popped up to the mound. Number eight hitter Ari Bodner, 0-2 to this point, then singled and moved Templeman to second. With two on and one out, Azman stepped in and was set down swinging by Konig. Beth Sholom was one out away from going home champions. Pick Wick then turned to a pinch hitter, Dani Rosenthal who was sitting on the grass taking in the game. Clad in a bright orange polo shirt, jeans and dress shoes he looked far from prepared to hit in the biggest spot of the year. He threw off his glasses, exchanged his dress

oe Eisenberger of Pick Wick out dueled Beth Sholom’s stud pitcher Yehuda Konig in a 3-2 victory last Sunday that crowned Pick Wick as champions of the Five Towns Shul Softball League. Pick Wick advanced by defeating last year’s champion Chabad 5-1 in their semifinal matchup. Beth Sholom knocked off Woodmere 7-3 in the other semifinal game. Konig notched the first hit of the game for Beth Sholom with a one-out single in the first. Number three hitter Ari Moskowitz followed that up by crushing a ball to center field where Evan Blachman tracked it down. Neil Osrof struck out swinging to end the inning scoreless. Pick Wick wasted little time scoring. After a leadoff popout by Blachman, Shmuel Gestetner and Adam Ofman notched back-toback singles. Eisenberger singled home Gestetner before Joe Davidson hit into a tailor-made 6-4-3 double play. Despite the unsatisfying end to the inning Pick Wick led 1-0. In the top of the second, Eisenberger kept Beth Sholom’s offense quiet, retiring the fifth, sixth and seventh hitters in order. In the bottom of the second Konig used a bit of help from his defense and a poor base running decision by Pick Wick’s Ephraim Templeman to set a tone for the next few innings. Templeman led off with a sharp single to right field but was gunned down stretching it into a double. Konig easily set down Ezzy Unger and Ari Bodner to end the second. The third inning started off with a whiff by Jeff Spivak. Greg Telsey reached base with a twoout single but it was inconsequential because Yitz Roz struck out looking in a dominant frame by Eisenberger. Konig was equal-

ly dominant in the third, retiring Bari Azman Dovid Kirschenbaum before walking Blachman. The walk was no matter— Gestetner grounded out to third to end the inning. In the top of the fourth inning, the Beth Sholom lineup decided they were done being dominated by Eisenberger. After a fly ball out to left field by leadoff hitter Alan Heller, Konig drew a walk. Moskowitz, Osrof, and Josh Heller followed that with consecutive singles, Heller’s tying the game by driving in Konig. Jordan Slotnick popped up to the pitcher with the bases loaded, but Danny Moskowitz picked him up by singling to center field, scoring Ari Moskowitz. After four and a half innings Beth Sholom had stolen the lead, and was now up 2-1. Eisenberger and Joe Davidson both reached base in the bottom of the fourth but a determined Konig induced back-to-back pop ups to escape

the jam. In the top of the fifth Eisenberger recaptured his form. Spivak singled to lead off the inning but Eisenberger got Todd Soifer to ground into a rally-killing double play. Telsey flied out to left field to end the inning. Pick Wick couldn’t muster any offense in the bottom of the fifth inning outside of a Bari Azman one-out single. The sixth inning played out in much the same fashion. Roz smacked a leadoff double and then was stranded on second base as Alan Heller, Konig, and Moskowitz failed to even advance him. Pick Wick didn’t do much more. Konig walked Gestetner before getting Ofner to bang into a 6-4-5 fielder’s choice. Eisenberger flew out to center and Davidson hit the ball back to the mound to finish the sixth. Beth Sholom was clinging to their 2-1 advantage. Beth Sholom sent the heart

Bulldogs Beat Tough Bethpage Team, Away in the Rain Text and Photos By Ryan Lavis

oing into last Saturday night’s game against The Bethpage Golden Eagles, Hewlett Bulldogs head coach, Jay Iaquinta, said that people shouldn’t underestimate the passing ability of his quarterback Zach Richman. And 232 yards and 3 passing touchdowns later, Richman proved his arm could keep up with his running game as the Bulldogs won 34-28. With an onslaught of rain pouring down onto the artificial turf, Bethpage held a lead through about four quarters – mostly scoring on strong runs through the Hewlett defense. But Hewlett managed to rally with about four minutes left in the game, climbing to within two points of Bethpage on a Richman rushing touchdown on third and goal. After sending an onside kick out of bounds, Bethpage gained possession on a short field. But the Bulldogs defense forced The Golden Eagles to go three and out. With about 1:30 left on the clock, and at their 15-yard line, Hewlett head coach, Jay Iaquinta, said he looked at his defensive coordinator, Dave Yaker, as the two simultaneously said the same play number – a short pass to receiver Kevin Dehaney. “We said it at the same time, and just thought, ‘that’s got to be it’,” Iaquinta said at a recent practice following his team’s big win. “That was the play that was going to do it or not do it. And it did it.” Hewlett receiver Kevin Dehaney blasted through a small hole in the Bethpage defense,

and took the pass from Richman 85 yards for a score. As Richman and Dehaney’s teammates cheered from the sidelines, the Bulldogs took a 32-28 lead, completing the two-point conversion on a pass from Richman to Kevin Fuchs, making it 34-28. “When he first caught it, I

I knew he was off to the races then.” But before the game’s dramatic conclusion, Bethpage managed to hold a lead over Hewlett the majority of the time – pounding through Hewlett’s defense. “We knew what they were going to do, but they did it better than we could defend against it,” Iaquinta said of Bethpage’s mostly rushing offense. “We have to give them credit. We had some trouble stopping them.” Despite that Bethpage held

never played in a game before. “We have a lot of inexperienced kids that aren’t as big this year,” Iaquinta said. “To be over there in adverse weather conditions, persevere and never give up just says a lot about the character of these kids.” Hewlett scored the game’s first touchdown, as Fuch took a pass from Richman 36 yards for a touchdown, making it 6-0 with about six minutes left in the first quarter. David Ben-Yosef then got the extra point on a kick. But Bethpage responded at the tail end of the first quarter. At first and goal with about eight seconds left in the quarter, The Golden Eagles scored on a three

yard run from Nick Carlino. Quaterback Christian Feruzza then threw a pass to Dean Andreadis for the two-point conversion, making it 8-7, Bethpage. As the rain continued to fall into the second quarter, Hewlett came back as Jeremy Leguillow ran the ball 74 yards, putting Hewlett ahead, 13-8. But Hewlett missed its extra point attempt. Bethpage scored two more times in the second quarter, taking their lead into halftime. At first and ten with about five minutes left in the second, Bethpage’s Yoannis Efstathiou ran the ball 13 yards for a touchdown. Feruzza then completed the two-point conversion on a two-yard run. The Golden Eagles asserted their lead at the close of the quarter, as Feruzza completed a 35-yard pass, making it 22-13 at halftime. With about five minutes left in the third quarter, Hewlett’s Leguillow scored on a 24- yard pass from Richman at second and

But it would remain stuck there as they failed to get the extra point. Bethpage shut down Hewlett’s

offense for most of the fourth quarter. But Richman and his team managed to break through in dramatic fashion as the clock dwindled down to its last couple of minutes. “We never try to get too high after a win or too low after a loss,” Iaquinta said after his team’s comeback against Bethpage. “They certainly deserve the rewards of a great, exciting game, but it’s a long season.”

Hewlett Traveling to Battle Vikings in Glen Head By Ryan Lavis

till coming off their big win against Bethpage on Saturday night, the Hewlett Bulldogs are geared up to face the less-daunting North Shore Vikings on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. away at North Shore High School in Glen Head. Unlike Hewlett’s latter opponent, who went undefeated during the 2011 regular season,

North Shore put together a dismal 0-7 record last year. But Hewlett Head Coach, Jay Iaquinta, said he does not underestimate any team, and tells his boys to treat each game with an equal level of focus. “We’re going in there with a business type attitude, looking to get the job done again,” Iaquinta said. “It was a nice win against Bethpage, but every game matters.”

Iaquinta said he’ll stay the course in regards to strategy, using quarterback Zach Richman’s arm and speed to make drives through the North Shore defense. “We’re not changing things up too much. We think we’re doing the right thing from day one, so we don’t plan on changing things throughout the season. Maybe we try to focus more,” he said. Saturday’s game will mark the

first time these two teams face one another, as North Shore head coach Dan Agovino noted Hewlett’s speed as being his main concern. “They’re a fast team, but so are we. We’re looking to play fast right back at them,” Agovino said. He also said that Hewlett has a lot of momentum coming off their dramatic late-game rally against Bethpage on Saturday

night. “They’re coming off a big win, and probably still have a high coming from that.” North Shore lost their first game of the regular season against the Division Blue Dragons on Friday, 40-28. Agovino said his team got off to a slow start that night, and never caught up with the Division offense. He said that he’s looking for-

ward to good performances from fullback Ken Daley, who’s a senior, and junior Anthony Magliocco at tailback. His quarterback for the game is sophomore Mike Floccari, who is starting in his second varsity game. “We have a real balanced team. There aren’t any super stars in any position, but there also aren’t any weaknesses. We’re just going to try and play good fundamental football.”

Lawrence Thrashes Glen Cove 62-7 in Home Opener Text and Photos By Raimundo Ortiz

scamper. Kashawn Goldsby, a senior, relieved starting quarterback Joey Capobianco and wound up scoring a touchdown of his own on a six-yard run in the fourth quarter.

he high-octane offense of the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes that averaged 45 points per game last season en route to a Conference III championship is back in full force to defend the crown. Unfortunately for the rest of the league, it looks like they have brought a defense with them too, which came to dominate in a 62-7 thrashing of the Glen Cove Big Red, last Saturday. Senior running back Tyler Fredericks began the scoring party midway through the first quarter, bursting through the line of scrimmage on the left side and rumbling through several Glen Cove tacklers for a 39yard touchdown run. After that bruising run, Glen Cove and their unconventional offense tried to answer. They moved the ball a bit, catching Lawrence’s defense being overly aggressive once or twice for modest gains. “We got up the field a couple of times and I was a little frustrated there because we needed to sit gap heavy and just react to the ball,” said Lawrence head coach Joseph Martillotti. On that drive the Golden Tornadoes’ defense bent a bit but certainly did not break. In the red zone sophomore Jordan Fredericks picked off a pass and

all over offensively. That’s a huge asset having a true fullback who can block and carry the ball,” said Martillotti. Martillotti expects Jones to eventually “get lost in the mix” back there and surprise defenses with how well he can run the ball. “At 235 pounds he’s a load to take down when he gets in the open field, which will happen with everyone keying on Jordan and Tyler.”

CONTINUED ON P. A7

Jordan Fredericks, who had five total touchdowns last Saturday, getting crunched in a scrum. took it 95 yards to the house for Lawrence’s second score of the game. It would be the first of five total touchdowns for the younger Fredericks. The second quarter was where Lawrence put the screws to Glen Cove. Lawrence marched down the field and Tyler Fredericks punched in a one-yard touchdown run, his second of the day. Lawrence’s next score was a shovel pass to Jordan Fredericks, which he took 35 yards into the end zone. It was a play made possible by excellent communi-

cation between Martillotti and his star players. “Tyler (Fredericks) came off the field after the first series and said the middle linebacker is keying on him,” said Martillotti. That tip led to a shift in attack that would feature a bit more of Jordan Fredericks. “That’s the communication the kids have with me coming right off the field.” With under a minute left in the first half and Lawrence already leading 27-0, Jordan Fredericks blazed an 80yard touchdown run to seal the half. While Tyler Fredericks is a

high priority for any coach trying to defend against Lawrence, the sophomore made his presence known. “I really don’t think we can hide Jordan Fredericks anymore,” said Martillotti with a grin and a chuckle. “People are going to start game planning for him.” In the third quarter Tyler Fredericks ripped off a 55-yard touchdown run, his longest of the afternoon. Jordan Fredericks scored two more touchdowns in the quarter on a 47-yard interception return and a 15-yard

Senior running back Tyler Fredericks led Lawrence in rushing with 163 yards and three touchdowns.

Lawrence vs. Lynbrook: Preview of Week Two

By Raimundo Ortiz

fter throttling Glen Cove 62-7 last week to begin their Nassau County title defense, the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes will square off against their local rival, the Lynbrook Owls in week two. Lawrence defeated Lynbrook twice in 2011, once in their regular season matchup and then in the semifinals of the Conference III playoffs which ended the Owls’ season.

In both games Lawrence’s defense, which has received a ton of attention heading into the season, played remarkably well holding Lynbrook to six combined points. “Last year they were one of the few teams our defense did play well against,” said Lawrence head coach Joe Martillotti. “We really hope we can carry that over.” The Golden Tornadoes wreaked havoc on Glen Cove in week one, turning them over five times and running back two interceptions for

touchdowns. After struggling mightily last season on that side of the ball, facing Lynbrook may be a matchup that can build further confidence in the youthful unit. Conversely, the Owls were one of the teams that withstood the Golden Tornadoes’ offensive attack better than their peers. “They held us to 36 points and 29 points last year which sounds silly but when you’re averaging 45 points a game that means they’re doing a good job,” said Martilotti. He

credited Lynbrook’s creative defensive schemes for causing confusion and disrupting Lawrence’s potent offense at times. “They mix it up, they blitz from different angles and they throw some funky stuff at us.” Martillotti also brought up Lynbrook’s chameleon-esque Matt Mott, who has lined up at linebacker, defensive end, and nose tackle in the same game against Lawrence in the past. “They have one of the best defensive players in the league in Matt Mott, so if he’s on the

field we have to account for him wherever he is.” Martillotti said Mott gave the offensive line issues in last season’s semifinal game. “He’s a very talented kid.” To prepare for Lynbrook, Martillotti has had the scout teams practice a variety of schemes. “The toughest thing preparing for them defensively is that they run several different defensive fronts. We’re going to practice a bunch of looks so we can be ready for anything that they can throw

Lady Bulldogs Slay Floral Park Knights 3-1 By Danielle Puma

n a warm and sunny Tuesday afternoon, the Hewlett Lady Bulldogs girl’s soccer team defeated Floral Park’s Knights 3-1. Most of the team’s players made their return from last year and their knowledge of the game is what motivates them to be victorious this season and to make it to the playoffs. Gil Kreiss, the head coach, said his girls have an advantage this season and work hard during their practices to prepare themselves for a win. “I think we happened to be the better team on Tuesday. I don’t know [Floral Park’s] roster well enough, but we played with a lot of intensity. We had a total drive to win and it paid off in that way,” said Kreiss. Many of Kreiss’ star players are returning girls from previous years. Ivy Greenbaum, a senior sweeper on the team, is a returning All-County player and a four-year starter. Val DeNapoli, a senior stopper, is another four-year starter and was AllConference last year. “Our team had five shut outs

They are accustomed to my expecta-

tions and it’s a big advantage.” Kreiss said he puts pressure on the girls to be precise and on the quality of drills that they do during practices. It keeps his team motivated and gives them

a positive state of mind. “It’s important to do things properly. We have a saying: Practice makes permanent. I’m about intensity when they get out onto the field. They are very well motivated and really motivated this season. We are coming out strong.” The first goal for the team is to win Conference III. If the girls win the Division, they will automatically get into the playoffs. Kreiss said the team’s practices will pay off and help them reach their goals. “It’s so important to be respected by your teammates and that comes from their work ethic in practice and during games. It’s all about having knowledge of the game itself.” When the team played against Floral Park on Tuesday, Kreiss said the girls kept their momentum going throughout the game. Players would shout out “Give it up, Hewlett” or “Keep it strong” whether they scored a goal or not. “When the other team scored, we didn’t get down. We just kept going. Sometimes teams can’t come back after the other team scores. We come back. That’s talent for my team.”

at us.” Offensively, the Golden Tornadoes will remain adaptable. Both Tyler Fredericks and Jordan Fredericks were successful on the ground last week against Lynbrook, but Martillotti is not afraid to go airborne if the rushing attack stalls. “We’re going to take what they give us. If they want to load the box we can throw the ball. They’ve got to pick their poison.” The game will take place at Lawrence High School Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Lawrence Thrashes Glen Cove 62-7 in Home Opener CONTINUED FROM P. A6 Matt Leone, a senior defensive lineman paced the defense by racking up nine tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery. Florian Capobianco, the older brother of Joey Capobianco recorded three tackles and two sacks of his own. Tyler Fredericks and John Perrone picked up a sack each bringing Lawrence’s total to five. Senior cornerback Raquan Grandy intercepted a pass in the first quarter to go with Jordan Fredericks’ two picks. “Defensively, we flew to the ball,” said Martillotti.

September 8th, 2012 Lawrence Glen Cove

“Two of the turnovers went for touchdowns and the other ones led to touchdowns. The defense set us up and the offense hammered it home.” For the game, which lasted three quarters for the starters, Jordan Fredericks stole the show with 132 rushing yards, 49 receiving yards, and five total touchdowns. Tyler Fredericks was the Golden Tornadoes’ leading rusher, piling up 163 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Lawrence’s next game is will take place at Lawrence High School on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Really Big Questions

adical Islam hates America, Israel, the West, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Bahaiism, and just about any and every other “ism” that isn’t Islam. Radical Islam is not monolithic. It is manifested in both Shiite and Sunni streams of Islam. It is embodied in the disparate and scattered outposts of the Muslim Brotherhood (the organization that now dominates Egypt’s civilian government), it is ubiquitous in Hamas, Hezbollah and the entire Iranian government; it permeates Pakistan and the Taliban in Afghanistan, it is at the core of Wahabi-based Islam in Saudi Arabia. It is making inroads into Turkey and its Islamic government and it is personified by the Salafists who are hellbent on violent jihad (holy war) and who are running amok at our embassies in Cairo, Tunis and in Yemen. And the entire mad circus has a ringleader in al-Qaeda. On the 11th anniversary of 9-11, the Radical Islamists purposefully attacked the nearly non-defended American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing our 52 year-old Ambassador to that country, J. Christopher Stevens, a married father of two who was the chief U.S. diplomat responsible for marshalling U.S. support for the Libyan rebels attempting to overthrow Ghadaffi – an irony that is astonishing and appalling. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed since 1979 when our man in, you guessed it, Afghanistan was kidnapped and murdered. Some pundits have blamed the “spontaneous” rioting on some clips of a film which is alleged to be derogatory about Islam that were posted on YouTube. We know that any new piece of video, literature or art that is in any way critical of or parodies Islam is supposedly justifiable grounds for mayhem and slaughter. We’re being utterly sarcastic here. Burnings, murders and violent demonstrations by thousands of people are not brought about by “spontaneous combustion,” these things need to be planned well in advance and well organized. This was not about any film clip or web video – this was about attacking America again on the sensitive anniversary of 9-11 – designed to rub our noses in the fact that our Islamic foes are implacable, regardless of how much progress we’ve made against the war on terror. All this begs a whole bunch of questions that have been asked for the last couple of days but bear repeating: Why didn’t the Administration and the State Department beef-up security at our Middle Eastern embassies and consulates around September 11th? Surely, U.S. intelligence had to know the significance of this date for our enemies? Why didn’t we ask the governments of the host countries where our diplomatic facilities were located to also increase security? When our embassy in Cairo was attacked, why didn’t we demand intervention by the Egyptian military to secure the grounds? We give $1.6 billion in aid annually to that government and most of that finds its way to the military. Why didn’t the U.S. use this aid as leverage to attain the desired result? Why is everyone giving a pass to the new Libyan government for the Benghazi attack? And other questions such as “why is it that Moslems seem unimpressed by the Obama Administration’s concerted policy of appeasement, apologia and mollycoddling?” Why do Radical Islamists not care one whit that we have an ultra-liberal President “of color” who has an Islamic name? Why doesn’t it impress the Islamic wing-nuts when the Administration publicly disses Israel and fails to unambiguously have its back? Why does snubbing Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu not send the Islamists rushing into our arms? The reason is simple. We’re not dealing with rational people over there. When contending with those who glorify and revel in the deaths of others and even of themselves, when dealing with those imbued with a kamikaze complex, when facing those who want to bring about a return to the Seventh Century right now in our day, when up against folks who believe in “my way or let me show you the way to the cemetery,” the only thing these people understand or appreciate is straight talk backed-up both by the threat of and use of force. As the Cold War ended, some thought we were on the precipice of eternal peace. Were that it were so. Unfortunately, the crisis of our time is not Communist expansionism but Radical Islam. We need a U.S. government that fully understands this fact and how to respond to it.

See You in September

t seems as though there is an invisible “Autumn switch” up there in the sky and it always seems to get thrown somewhere around Labor Day. While the first day of Fall is on September 22nd, Labor Day, which was on Monday, September 3rd came in with slate gray skies and cool, wet breezes, putting a damper on all outdoor Labor Day festivities, especially those taking place at the beach. It wasn’t the way summer was supposed to end. Labor Day was followed by a week that was mostly wet and cloudy, finally breaking for some crisp sunshine last Sunday, the 9th. Most area beach clubs were already shut down tight as a drum by the 9th even though the day was exquisite. It’s hard to get students to work on the weekend after Labor Day once school starts. Last Sunday was one of those 40 to 60 picture-perfect days we get in any given year here in New York – loads of sunshine, low to nonexistent humidity and not too hot, not too cold. Sunday was followed by what can only be described as a gorgeous week of cool evenings (open window weather) and warm sunny days. But look up in the sky – there is an autumnal feel to the sky and clouds and it’s getting darker earlier and earlier – making some after work outdoor activities a bit more challenging. The earth spins on its axis, the orbit around the sun continues, the seasons change and time waits for no man. As we keep scurrying about, stop and take a good look around at the myriad beauty of Mother Nature and take advantage of September, one of the year’s prettiest months.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

WE DESERVE MORE THAN SILENCE By Francis X. Becker

eorge Bernard Shaw wrote in Back to Methuselah that “silence is the most perfect expression of scorn.” That’s at least better than noted author Robert Louis Stevenson, who said “the cruelest lies are often told in silence.” And Carolyn McCarthy has been more silent than a showing of Mel Brooks’ Silent Movie. Her staggering lack of interest in our community is disdainful. And we must hold her accountable. The Standard last week published a well-written editorial, “Numbers Don’t Lie,” reminding voters that while Democrats like the President are telling people that things are all fine, numbers and facts prove these claims are entirely off-base. But what’s more curious is that Ms. McCarthy hasn’t uttered a peep. When the Democrats chose to strike from their party platform that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel, Carolyn McCarthy remained silent. Her silence was deafening as she refused to stand up for Israel and her constituents, choosing to go along and saying nothing. And then after the decision was overturned a day later by a contentious voice vote, McCarthy still didn’t say anything. But this isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s a nearly two-decade incumbent doing what’s best to survive in her job: staying silent. When the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics released abominably bad job numbers last week, proving Carolyn McCarthy and President Obama have no idea what to do to fix our faltering econoCounty Legislator Fran Becker is the Republican

my, McCarthy stayed silent. Unemployment has been above eight percent for 43 straight months. More than 368,000 people left the workforce last month – the largest number of attrition since December 2010. There’s no question that we can and must do better. Carolyn McCarthy continues to have no plan how to right-size our faltering economy; it continues to move slower than a snail’s pace at creating jobs, slower than analysts say is required for an economic recovery. But one thing remains constant: our federal representative is mute at offering solutions or even discussing the situation. I bet she doesn’t even understand we’re in the worst economy since the Great Depression. Isn’t it amazing that Carolyn McCarthy hasn’t said anything of substance on creating jobs or rightsizing our faltering economy during this campaign? It’s bewildering that Carolyn McCarthy has failed to recognize the job numbers report’s real truth: a huge number of Americans have simply given up trying to find work and dropped out of the pool of potential workers. Sixteen-year incumbent Democrat Carolyn McCarthy hasn’t even recognized that people are hurting in this dreadful economy she helped create after almost two decades in Washington. Fact of the matter is the political conventions are over and the job numbers are bad. And Carolyn McCarthy still refuses to talk about it or offer solutions. That’s an unacceptable disgrace – a complete abdication of her congressional responsibilities. Why have we sent her to Congress if she won’t represent us? As a small business owner myself, I know what needs to be done to turn this economy around. I’m the only candidate in the race with an actual Middle Class Jobs Plan that will put Long Islanders back to work. My plan is sup-

God, It’s Judgment Day for you Too By Joel Moskowitz

s Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year approaches I am reminded of a skit from the 70’s in which Gilda Radner playing Roseanne Rosanandana on Saturday Night Live goes to Times Square to report on the revelry bringing in the new year. Dumbfounded, she reports that no one is there to celebrate and no matter how many times her colleagues back in the studio try to tell her that it’s the Jewish new year not December 31st, she doesn’t get it and continues to talk over them reporting back on the lack of celebrators. Jews do celebrate the arrival of a new year differently than the rest of the world. Ours is a more solemn occasion. Our culture, influenced by the religious traditions of thousands of years force us to use the days as a time of reflection and repentance. We sit in judgment before the Master of the Universe, who on these days decides if we shall live or die, become rich or poor or find happiness or sorrow. Our synagogues fill up more than the rest of the year, either from all the guests and family who have joined to celebrate with relatives, or just those who come only for such important holidays. While growing up I learned to fear this time

of year, after all I might receive a death sentence. I’ve grown older now and I see the High Holidays from a different perspective. It is not just a day for God to judge us but also a day for us critique God. While I can almost hear the cries of blasphemy emanating from the minds of some readers, understand that in order to criticize God, you have to believe in Him. While I find comfort in the channel of communication given to me by my Orthodox upbringing, I don’t for a second believe that it is the only legitimate form of communication with God. I will stand in synagogue and cry with the rest of my congregation as we appeal to God to show us mercy. I will also stand there and demand of Him to end the hideous violence that saturates His earth, to end illness and premature death and to lift those impoverished because of a wrecked world economy and natural disasters. I will beseech Him to shut down the ranting of zealots who stand in judgment of others, who play God’s policemen and attempt to enforce their own perverted vision of His commandments. I will beg God to show us a sign that He never intended for hatred and persecution to be carried out in His name. Mostly, I want God to let us know that to Him the content of our character means more than the size of our head covering. Some years back a prominent Orthodox rabbi said in an interview on CNN that he would rather that people do not attend synagogue than to go to a Conservative or Reform Shul. Similarly, an Orthodox rabbi in this neighborhood at a meeting I attended told the board of directors of a charitable organization that assists people affected by

have been convinced for years that my birthday brought with it very bad karma. If something bad didn’t occur on the actual date, it happened near or around it. This kept up for a while and culminated with the tragic events of 9-11. Although I knew none of this was actually about me, I could not help feeling I was the common denominator in each of these equations. This year, however, was different. About two weeks ago, my friend Daniel with whom I share my birthday called with an idea. While he was turning 25, and although I was not, he proposed we do something positive in celebration of our special day. The Susan G. Komen Foundation’s 5K Walk/Run for the Cure in Central Park was taking place the morning of our birthday and what better way, he argued, for us to spend our day than by doing something like this. No convincing was necessary: I was in. Called the “9/9 Birthday Bash,” Daniel organized our team on-line and we sent out emails asking for support. While my name might have been on the letter, it was Daniel who spearheaded the entire project. And within the short time span from the moment he had the idea until the morning of the race, close to $5,000 had been raised. While assembling our own team that morning on Central Park West, and having never been there before, we were overwhelmed by the sea of people who had gathered, intent on participating as well. Many teams had their own shirts in memory or in honor of a loved one who served as their inspiration to lace up their sneakers and be part of something greater than themselves. We, too, filled out sheets of pink paper, and honored those who are close to our hearts and had either survived breast cancer, or had lost their battle. One member of our team had stood by his wife as she battled, and beat, her breast cancer. He wrote her name down on the pink paper which said “In honor of,” adding the words, “I love you” right underneath. The enormity of that paper hit me, and my hands trembled a little as I pinned the paper to his back so that everyone could see it as we ran. We split up into two groups: walkers and runners. With a birthday sign around my neck as I ran, many runners around me took the opportunity to wish me a “Happy Birthday” as we continued through the park. It felt great. It is one thing to celebrate with family and be surrounded by those you love on your special day. It is another thing altogether to do all of that and participate in something as proactive, inspiration-

COMMUNITY VOICE

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

The Land of the Sleaze

By URI KAUFMAN

few years ago, a reporter from a major newspaper conducted a contest to see which state had the most dreadful political culture. This was shortly after the public learned of Elliot Spitzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evening hobbies and so it seemed to me to be a fairly easy exercise. However, after much agonizing, the reporter judged auctioning a senate seat even sleazier and gave the prize to Illinois. It pains me to see my beloved state bumped off any pedestal, even one crowning a culture dirtier than a dung beetle. For if ever there were a case where we New Yorkers could cry â&#x20AC;&#x153;we wuz robbed!â&#x20AC;? this would have be it. If Washington were alive today heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stuff his wooden dentures in his mouth, assemble a militia, and march on Albany. Now letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be fair at the outset and point out that Albany corruption has not left Republicans untouched. Former Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno was indicted. But his case has a not unimportant distinction, at least insofar as he was acquitted on five counts and saw his conviction on two remaining counts overturned on appeal. Today he walks the streets a free man. The Democrats have not been so lucky. Spitzer avoided indictment, but his Comptroller, Democrat Alan Hevesi today sits in jail for his part in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay to playâ&#x20AC;? scandal surrounding the New York State Pension Fund. While working out in the prison health club, he might rub shoulders with former State Senator Carl Kruger who is now doing seven years for bribery. Another seven year sentence was handed out to former State

Senator Efrain Gonzalez for stealing close to half a million dollars that belonged to charities. State Senator Shirley Huntley was just arrested for corruption but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look on the bright side. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent until proven guilty. I suppose the same could be said for State Assemblyman William Boyland, now under indictment for bribery. Except that he was recorded soliciting a bribe even while waiting for trial on previous bribery charges. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be some kind of record. The nicest thing you can say about former State Senator Hiram Monserrate is that so far as anyone knows he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steal a penny. He was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend badly enough to send her to the hospital for stitches. Now it is true that he avoided jail time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the prosecutor settled for probation, counseling and community service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I still find the case more troubling than the usual cash-in-paper-bags affair. I mean, stealing from charities is one thing. Giving your girlfriend a black eye, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unAmerican. For sheer chutzpah, the winner hands down and beyond rational debate has to be former Democratic State Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada. There was nothing special about his conviction for embezzling funds from federally funded healthcare clinics. No, what made that case special was that Espada chose to run for re-election while he was under investigation by the Bronx DA, the IRS, the FBI and the New York State Attorney General. And who could blame him? The people of New York have long signed their citizenship over to the Democrats. They hold two thirds of the Assembly and have held it in an iron grip

for close to 40 years. Yes, the Republicans have a tenuous hold on the Senate for now and yes they managed to elect one governor since Nelson Rockefeller. But the working assumption is that the Democrats hold the Assembly and that this will never change. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vito Lopez. Only in a state where the ruling party feels impervious to public accountability would a Speaker of the Assembly approve the payment of over $100,000 in taxpayer hush money to settle sexual harassment charges. Only in such a state would a Speaker feel he could do that, figuring that it would all remain secret. All of which brings us to the case of Assemblyman Harvey Wiesenberg. Now, compared to the Democrats described above, his pilferage seems practically quaint. You see, since 2008, Harvey has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;double-dipping.â&#x20AC;? The way you do this is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;retireâ&#x20AC;? on December 31 one day before your term is up and thus qualify for a pension, then the next day when you start a new term you assume office and collect your salary as if nothing happened. Thus does Harvey collect both his salary and his pension. As Harvey is quick to point out, there is nothing illegal about this. But, of course, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole problem. Go try and find any other position anywhere else on the planet Earth where it is possible to collect both a salary and a pension for the same job. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Harvey Wiesenberg, you can do it with taxpayer money. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be comforted to know that the practice is now illegal. But only for future lawmakers. Maybe, at last, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for us to send a message. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to vote for politicians that serve us, rather than the other way around. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to let Harvey earn that pension, but because he really is retired, not because he gamed the system. This time out, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be voting for David Sussman for Assembly. I hope you will too.

Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die?

or Jewish people, Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish Near Year of 5773 arrives this Sunday evening, September 16th. Unlike the Chinese New Year, Jews donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set-off tumultuous parades replete with snaking dragons and firecrackers in the streets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in fact, in many Jewish communities, the streets are deserted. Unlike the secular New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday on December 31st and January 1st, there are no bacchanalian soirees with endless champagne, noisemakers and giant crystal balls descending from atop Times Square. Jews eat hardy, pray hardy but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t party hardy on their new year. While there are a whole bunch of artery-clogging meals on the order of a Thanksgiving, a preponderance of time is spent in synagogue. These holidays are mandated in the Torah (bible) to take place on the exact dates on the Jewish calendar that they do. The shofar (ramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or gazelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horn) is blown repeatedly on Rosh Hashanah â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sound thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piercing (when done well, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to do) and ancient and eternal all at the same time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a sound thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant to awaken us from the torpor of our daily routines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to jolt our seats to the upright and locked position and focus on things way bigger than us and our often petty concerns. During ancient times, particularly at Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) when the holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) would enter the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant, containing the stone tablets of the ten commandments were housed

and the Devine Presence (a physical manifestation of God) would enter those sacred precincts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it was the only time of the year it did so. The High Holy Days (or High Holidays) are called so in part owing to the nature of actual contact with God that would manifest itself in the Temple and it was because of that contact that the Temple Mount and its environs are considered sacred. In the High Holiday machzor (prayer book) we intone repeatedly â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed and on the fast day of Yom Kippur it is sealedâ&#x20AC;Ś who shall live and who shall die (and by which unpleasant ways)â&#x20AC;Śwho will wax rich, who made poor, who will be exalted and who brought lowâ&#x20AC;? as our individual and communal fate is determined in the celestial court. Nothing short of life and death itself are at stake, which is why these upcoming holidays are considered the paramount religious occasions of the year for Jewish people. Its what packs the house. For the majority of Jews there is a sense that if one fails to show up for the High Holidays, it could be mega-bad karma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why thumb your nose at the big guy and take a silly risk by staying home? The notion of â&#x20AC;&#x153;who shall live and who shall dieâ&#x20AC;? is more palpable the older one gets. Kids, teens and twenty-somethings are blessed with a sense of indestructibility and immortality. As Katie Perry and other pop singers intone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be young forever.â&#x20AC;? As time goes by and the warranty starts to run out on our individual machinery, we become more acutely aware of the fragility of our existence. Age is not just a number. There

(August 31st issue), as in the case of Hewlett-Woodmere, District 14, the increasing cost of school taxes has turned away numerous would-be buyers when they hear our tax assessment, in this area in Nassau County. Just look into the compensation given to the administrators in a Five Towns school district, overloaded with personnel. No mercy to the home owners within District 14, many who have sold or in the process of selling. The cost of survival is beyond their means! I am losing neighbors for this reason.

No Longer Alone To the Editor, I am a resident of Woodmere for 51 years. I do not know C. Brozik, who wrote you the letter to the editor regarding â&#x20AC;&#x153; Clergy Exemptions Costing Millionsâ&#x20AC;? (August 31st issue) I do not even know the writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gender, which is of no importance. I finally agree with the beliefs which were expressed in the letter and have wondered if I was the only other resident who felt this way. Something is not right!

To the Editor, After reading article after article in the local papers about the JCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to purchase the Number 6 School from District 15, I feel it is time to set the record straight. On November 1, 2011, the JCC of the Greater Five Towns submitted a bid to purchase the school for $7.750 million. On February 8, 2012 we increased our bid to $9.1 million, each time submitting all the necessary paperwork and financial documents. We had hoped the school board would consider all that a full-service community center brings to the entire community and not just the actual purchase price. Again, on May 4, 2012 the JCC increased their offer to $10.1 million and then again on June 1, 2012. Our offer to purchase the Number 6 School now stands at $10.5 million. We were requested to provide the school board with a $1 million deposit as a show of good faith, which we did in the form of a certified check, and recently the $1 million was returned to us. We were told that the school board was putting the sale on hold for the time being. A full-service community center would enhance the lives of the residents of The Five Towns and surrounding communities by allowing the JCC to expand

their much needed programs and services, bringing additional jobs into the neighborhood, housing many local organizations all under one roof, and act as a central meeting place for large scale events or celebrations. We met during July with the real estate committee of the School District 15 School Board and had fruitful discussions. It is our hope that a final decision will be forthcoming in the near future.

Ann Taylor, If Only! To the Editor, Like many busy women in our community, when the shofar sounds on the first day of Elul, it signifies not only the start of a time of prayer and repentance, but the beginning of a marathon of cooking, cleaning and shopping to prepare for the holidays. Having been in holiday prep mode for several weeks, I noticed, Danielle Pumaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guide for Getting Everything Together for the Holidayâ&#x20AC;? and decided to read it to see if I overlooked anything.

Heroes of 9-11 Recalled At Cedarhurst Ceremony CONTINUED FROM P. A1 good Lord gives you the comfort that you deserve as you move forward with your lives. My prayer is that in the upcoming year that this country once again becomes a country of ‘we’ rather than a country where fingers are pointed at each other,” Skelos said. Rabbi Kenneth Hain, of Congregation Beth Sholom in Lawrence, spoke about remembering those victims during the upcoming Jewish High Holidays. “Rosh Hashanah is also a day of remembrance and that too is why were here – to reflect on the memory of the people we

lost,” Rabbi Hain said. Bruce A. Blakeman, former Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature and Former Commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, also talked about the families who suffered heavy losses that day, mentioning his nephew, Thomas Jurgens, who was also killed on 9-11. “They don’t want you to forget the evil that took the lives of people that were near and dear to us and people who we loved and cared about. We never want you to forget that there are people out there who will continue to do evil and hurt us because they will never understand our way of life.”

Tube Titillation: New TV Season Features Cutting-Edge New Shows and Durable Returning Favorites By Ryan Lavis

or Five Towners looking to exercise their full couch potato muscles, sit in front of the TV and catch up on their favorite shows, there are a host of series starting their fall seasons. There are also many new and exciting shows starting up this fall to keep you and your remote busy.

New Shows Revolution From producer J.J. Abrams, who created the classic Lost series, comes a show about a post-apocalyptic future where there is no electricity, and technology has vanished. It stars Elizabeth Mitchell, Tracy Spiridakos, Billy Burke and Giancarlo Esposito (of Breaking Bad fame). It premieres on Monday, September 17th at 10:00 p.m. on NBC.

Vegas Set in 1960s Las Vegas, this new drama from CBS is based on the true story of Las Vegas Sheriff Ralph Lamb, played by Dennis Quaid. The show focuses on Sheriff Lamb’s dealings with Chicago mobster Vincent Savino played by Michael Chiklis, as

Wednesday, October 10th at 10:00 p.m. It stars Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney and David Eisenberg. The show focuses on the personal lives of these firefighters, while also portraying this dangerous job of rescuing people and putting out fires.

Returning Fall Shows Boardwalk Empire The prohibition-era drama returns to HBO for its third season on Sunday, September 16th at 9:00 p.m. Set in 1920s Atlantic City, this period piece follows the county’s corrupt treasurer, Nucky Thompson (Steve Bucemi), as he deals with mobsters, politicians and government agents all looking to either take a piece of his bootlegging operation, or arrest him for his illegal activities. Season 3 will include 12 new episodes. And if the previews HBO has already released are any indication, this season promises to be filled to the brim with the illegal bootlegging and political backstabbing that marked the first two seasons of this landmark series.

Vegas premiers Tuesday, September 25th at 10 p.m. on CBS

Grey’s Anatomy The long-running ABC drama that focuses on the fictional lives of surgical interns and residents,

son on Sunday, September 30th. Actress Julianna Margulies won an Emmy in 2011 for her portrayal of the show’s main character, Alicia Florrick. After her husband’s scandal, she is forced to return to her job as a litigator to support her children. The Good Wife also stars Chris North as the husband, Peter Florrick.

Dexter The Showtime drama, Dexter, focuses on a blood spatter pattern analyst for a fictitious police department in Miami. Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) also has a tendency to murder people as he balances both his job and his relationships. It returns for its seventh season on Sunday, September 30th. The show’s producer has also confirmed that Dexter’s Eighth season will be it’s last.

he tries to bring law and order to Las Vegas. It premieres on Tuesday, September 25th at 10 p.m.

Animal Practice This new NBC comedy about an overly serious veterinarian, who prefers to spend the majority of his time with animals, will premiere on Wednesday, September 26th at 8:00 p.m. The show stars Justin Kirk, who is well known for his role on the Showtime series Weeds. Another “main character” is Crystal the Monkey, who viewers might recognize as the monkey in both The Hangover: Part II and episodes of Community.

as they become doctors and maintain their personal lives, will return for its ninth season Thursday, September 27th. Last season ended with several characters crash landing a plane in the mountains. The ninth season will focus on the plane crash, along with the usual cast of characters over at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.

Homeland

Created by Jimmy Fallon, this new NBC comedy stars Jesse Bradford, Anthony Anderson and Zach Cregger. On the show, these three single friends share an apartment as they raise their infant children. It premieres on Wednesday September 26th at 8:30 p.m.

This hit mystery thriller, which feels like a smarter version of the classic Fox series 24, will return for its second season on Showtime on Saturday September 30th for 12 new episodes. Starring Claire Danes as the bi-polar, CIA officer, Carrie Mathinson, this series follows its main character as she tries to prevent terrorist attacks from ever reaching American soil. With Season 2 ending just as Mathinson had an epiphany about another character’s true intentions, season 3 is shaping up to continue the drama and excitement that won this show a 2011 Golden Globe for best drama series.

Guys with Kids

Tina Fey’s hit comedy series heads into its seventh and final season on Thursday, October 4, premiering on NBC. With a star studded cast that includes Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan, this comedy series is loosely based on Fey’s experiences as head writer on Saturday Night Live. It takes the audience behind the scenes of a fictional comedy series on NBC. Season 7 will focus on Tina Fey’s character, Liz, as she becomes a mother. Fey has also said the show will bring back a host of characters for its final season.

30 Rock starts its last season Thursday October 4th at 8:00p.m.

The Walking Dead This post-apocalyptic AMC series where a group mostly made up of strangers travels through a zombie inhabited world, will return for its third season on Tuesday, October 16th for a 16 episode run. Based off a popular comic book series, this television show stars town sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he leads his wife, son and a group of people he met along the way to safety. As Season 2 ended with major characters being killed off, the storyline of Season 3 can literally go anywhere as the main characters are once again traveling in the wilderness, trying their best to escape becoming zombie food.

Community Although several writers including creator and show runner Dan Harmon will not return for Season 4 of Community, the show’s new writers have promised to maintain the quirky and off-beat humor that helped create this show’s cult following in its first three seasons. Following a motley crew of friends at a community college, the show is known for its unique, reference-heavy episodes that often see its main characters fighting paintball wars and jumping through time-space continuums. Community will move its time slot from Thursdays to Fridays at 8:30 p.m., with Season 4 set to premiere on NBC on October 19th for a total of 13 new episodes.

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

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

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

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

The chapel itself would be erected and completed a year later on May 8th when it was consecrated by the Bishop of the Diocese of New

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

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

Sheryl David Sh

bit up. 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.

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. High necklines and open backs in dresses add flair without going too over the top, Danca said. The average price of tops and dresses are $98-$398. “Buy the navy or black dress, or a beautiful silk top,” Danca added. “They last. Invest in classic pieces and add trend with an accessory.” Flirt was opened a little over a year ago by owner, Carla Haynes. Danca is previously the owner of The Strapless Dress boutique in Lynbrook. “Flirt is a place you come for a special occasion, for a birthday dress, party dress, date dress, dress,” Danca said. “It’s a more going out look. We have a few long, formal gowns, too.” • Flirt is located at 5 Franklin Avenue in Hewlett. (516) 295-0206. Flirtfabulous. com.

–Jay Leno “Computer hackers claim to have stolen Mitt Romney’s tax returns and are willing to leak them publicly unless the Romney campaign agrees to pay them $1 million. This is such an unethical money-making scheme that Mitt Romney said he was quite impressed. ‘I could use these guys at Bain Capital.’”

licans which tell a completely different story. They say he has created zero jobs and that he is the only President in history not to create any jobs. Needless to say, one of them is not telling their story correctly. I went to the U.S. Department of Labor website to see how many non-farm jobs were created from 01/01/2009 (the month Obama assumed office) until 08/31/2012 (the date the latest job figures were available). Using these figures, I calculated the jobs created (lost) per month since he took office until 08/31/2012. The answer is that Obama has NOT CREATED ONE NEW JOB SINCE BEING IN OFFICE. In fact the figures show the country lost approximately 260,000 jobs. It appears that Obama and his cohorts, in order to arrive at the four million new jobs figure, apparently are using the figures starting from 01/01/2010 and not 02/01/2009. They are NOT using the employment figures from the date he assumed office. What a distortion of the truth! It appears he thinks he can stop the employment clock and re-start the statistics when it is to his benefit? No he cannot! I find it amusing how he picks and chooses when he begins to be

responsible for job creation. In addition, it appears he continues to blame others, including Mother Nature for all his problems while in office and refuses to take any responsibility for not achieving what he has set out in his 2008 campaign to do. I have been in the business world for over 44 years and know that when a CEO takes over a company he or she takes responsibility from DAY 1 for the problems he or she inherited and to hopefully fix them. A new CEO knows what he or she is getting themselves in for when they seek the job. Obama certainly must have known! If he didn’t, then he was ill prepared to assume the office. He knew or should have known when he was campaigning for office the country was in a deep recession and in 2008 lost approximately 3.6 million jobs (per the U.S. Department of Labor) He is responsible from DAY 1 to figure out how to jumpstart the economy and get people back to work. He campaigned stating that if he could not reduce the deficit in half and bring the unemployment number below 8 percent that he should be a

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

We Deserve More Than Silence CONTINUED FROM P. A8 ported by 132 American economists and will put economic growth and job creation on the front burner. And at a time when Israel and

its supporters are hearing loud voices from within the Democratic Party shouting down the very right for the Jewish State to exist, my commitment to standing with our greatest ally in the Mideast is only strengthened.

My position of being a powerful advocate in support of the Jewish State greatly contrasts with simply sitting in silence – a stance that my opponent, 16year Democrat incumbent Carolyn McCarthy, has perfected.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Birthday Doomesday? CONTINUED FROM P. A8 al and awesome as running to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. Frankly, it does not get much better than that. For Daniel, the day continued with a huge win by his beloved Jets. Arriving at Met Life Stadium in anything but his Jets jersey would never have occurred to Daniel, but this day was different. He went to the game in the shirt we had all received from the Susan G. Komen Foundation for participating in the race. Left and right as he walked to and from his seat, Daniel was thanked by complete strangers who had never seen him before, but were clearly close to someone who had suffered with the disease. Speaking to him after the game, we both remarked what an incredible experience it had been and how we hoped to make it an annual tradition. I took that opportunity to thank him as well, for had he not seen the ad for the race on a bus and

taken the initiative to set up our team, none of us would have been there. While efforts such as these are always about the team, every team also needs a leader -- and for us, that was Daniel. Just a few days later, I was able to say thank you again to someone who sincerely deserved it and thought about others before thinking about himself. I was in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, long after the 9-11 memorials and ceremonies were over. Driving down the West Side Highway was a solemn experience though the crowds were long gone and the bagpipes all put away. Nevertheless, I took pause as I drove past the Freedom Tower, still in a semi-state of disbelief that they have to be built it in the first place. It seems like only yesterday that the Twin Towers were part of that majestic skyline and yet we all remember where we stood when we learned that they were no more. After parking my car and be-

fore heading into work, I went to the corner bodega for a cup of coffee. As I walked in, I noticed a fireman in his dress uniform, taking money out of the ATM located in the store. A member of Engine 14, I had never seen him before in my life but I caught his eye and he caught mine. While I would have otherwise smiled and walked on, I could not let the opportunity pass. “Thank you,” I said to him, a warm but saddened smile on my face, appreciating the magnitude of the day and the recognition that a simple ‘thank you’ can give. He smiled back the same way. “You’re welcome,” he said, and proceeded out of the store. And just like that, I had shared an intimate and personal moment with a complete stranger, the same way my birthday had been intimate and personal with many others whom I did not know. And while I am not exactly sure what to make of it all, I am beginning to believe that maybe my birthday may not be doomed after all.

SOAPBOX

God, It’s Judgment Day for you Too CONTINUED FROM P. A8 the financial crisis, that if they include a certain Conservative rabbi on a proposed rabbinic advisory board he would not participate. Ironically, this same rabbi made himself out to be a champion of civil rights when in his previous posting in a midwest city, Reform and Conser-

vative Jews objected to the expansion of his congregation in the middle of their residential neighborhood. Now is the time for us to reflect, repent and ask God for His mercy. It is also the time for us to stand up and cry out that God live up to His side of the bargain. The world may have a huge population, the biggest ever and get-

ting bigger. But it is smaller and more interconnected than ever before. He may be watching us, but now we see everything He does – in real time. Much of it is not pretty and outright destructive. We have more to question and more to call Him out on. This New Year I don’t just pray for forgiveness, I pray for answers.

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die? who came before us and who are no longer here but live on in our hearts and in our memories. Having our prayers answered involves a lot of confession of our inadequacies and contrition for our weaknesses, of which there are many as we are all only human. It involves Teshuva (repentance), Tefila (prayer) and Tzedakah (charity) so that we’re inscribed and then sealed in the

Book of Life for yet one more year. Warmest wishes to all our readers for a Joyous New Year and an Easy Fast. Everyone here at The Standard is grateful for your support this past year, thanks for spending part of your weekends with us and I hope that the new year of 5773 is one where all your dreams come true.

PREVIEW

Other notable voices in Finding Nemo are Albert Brooks, Willem DaFoe, and Brad Garrett. Finding Nemo was originally released in May of 2003 without 3D technology.

CONTINUED FROM P. A9 it seems – and we’re still here. There are multitudes of prayers on the High Holidays for just about everything under the sun – we pray for prosperity and livelihood, we pray for peace and security for our brethren in Israel. We pray for health for us and our loved ones. We pray for the souls of family members

SNEAK CONTINUED FROM P. B5

Finding Nemo 3D Nemo is a curious little clownfish who lives with his loving father. One day Nemo decides to explore when he is swept away and winds up in the fishbowl of a dentist. Nemo’s father Marlin teams up with a forgetful Regal Blue Tang fish named Dory (voiced by Ellen Degeneres) to find his son, while Nemo must escape the fish bowl as well as navigate the dangers of the sea.

Nemo and his father Marlin taking a swim before Nemo wanders too far and winds up trapped in a dentist office’s fishbowl, forcing Marlin and a forgetful fish named Dory to search for him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CONTINUED FROM P. B6 one term President. We have had in each of the years he has been in office $1 trillion dollar deficit and unemployment is currently at 8.1 percent. Why didn’t he stick to his promise and not run for re-election? Another broken promise! Economists state that for the U.S. economy to grow it needs to create approximately 200,000 new jobs per month.

In addition, a growth rate of three to four percent per year is needed to get to the job figure of 200,000. We are at 1.8 percent for the first half of 2012 and it does not look like it is getting any better. The economy grew in 2009 at 0% (half the year the economy was in a recession), 3.1 percent in 2010 (due to all the stimulus money that poured in the economy), and 1.6 percent in 2011. Remember also, Carolyn

McCarthy -- the heel clicking follower of Obama -- is running for office once again and signed on to ALL his proposals and plans to fix the economy. In my humble opinion, she is part of the problem, and come November, hopefully the others in her district are wise to what she has and has not done for her constituents and the country.

Delightfully Light Lunches for Rosh Hashanah and Beyond By EILEEN GOLTZ

Special to The Standard

ith the length of the walk home from shul on Rosh Hashanah growing in direct proportion to the unpredictable September day’s temperature and humidity it’s important to have the kind of lunch waiting to that doesn’t add to your perspiration. Sure, cholent, chicken or brisket are nice but let’s face it, when it’s like Masada at noon outside nobody wants anything even remotely warm. That’s why a cold yontif (or shabbos) lunch might just be the best thing to serve this time of year. Just think how great it would be if you could main course salads that incorporate your meat or fish as well as creating new and exciting dishes that are not only “cool” but will have everyone clamoring for an invitation. Besides, why start out our marathon of holidays with overeating when we have four more weeks to gain those extra five pounds we all seem to find on our hips every year? You can always double or triple the following recipes and you can usually change the meat in any recipe to grilled or poached fish. Just make sure that if you’re going from fish to meat that you have the appropriate pareve substitutes for the rest of the meal. As a last note before you hit the recipes, you can, of course, serve these as “side” dishes and have your grilled, roasted or baked chicken for those traditionalists that believe that the only true and wonderful fish to be served this time of year is the gefilte.
