FIVE TOWNERS GIVE WIN TO ROMNEY IN DEBATE; SOME CHANGING MINDS

HEART ATTACK FELLS NASSAU LEGISLATIVE LEADER WED. By Danielle Puma

By Rob Abruzzese

Nassau County Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt (RMassapequa), a 17-year county Legislator, died suddenly on Wednesday when he collapsed of a heart attack at a meeting with County Executive Edward Mangano and County Comptroller George Maragos. Schmitt was rushed to Winthrop Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 11:55 a.m. He was 62. “Nassau County has lost a dedicated public servant. My wife Linda and I lost a friend of over 20 years. I had the privilege of serving closely with Peter in the Legislature since its creation in 1996, where he distinguished himself as an outspoken advocate for the residents of the 12th Legislative District,” said Mangano.

President Barack Obama has been leading GOP contender Mitt Romney in most of the recent polls, but based on how Five Towners felt about the first presidential debate that was held on Wednesday night he still has a lot of work to do. This reporter scoured the area to get people’s reactions of the debate and had a hard time finding anybody who thought that Obama “won.” Even those that support the President had to tip their hats to Romney. “Romney made it interesting,” said Ron Dalessandro of Cedarhurst. “He’s a liar, but

that was a great presentation. Obama looked tired and everything he said sounded forced.” “I think it was an even draw,” Norma Kohan of Atlantic Beach said. “Obama was laid back for a reason. He felt that his quiet way that he expresses his ideas worked. Much to my disappointment, Romney was good too though.” Seemingly the President’s biggest problem was that of perception. Normally known as a good speaker, Obama just didn’t live up to people’s expectations. “I was surprised by Obama because he had no confidence,”

The Inwood 5K race, a Five Towns tradition since it was founded in 1993 by Michael DeRosa and Peter Sobol, will be run on Sunday, October 7th. The race begins inside Inwood Park, and goes down Bayview Avenue, turns left on Doughty Boulevard and proceeds to Healy Av-

enue. The route goes through the “back of Inwood” to Donahue Avenue along the Inwood Country Club, which hosted the 1923 U.S. Open and the 1927 PGA Championship. After that, the racers get on Sheridan Avenue and take it back to Bayview Avenue before finishing up at beautiful Inwood Park. According to inwood5k.com,

the proceeds of the race are given to graduating Five Towns highschoolers. Twelve organizations provide volunteers each year, and these organizations each choose one student at their discretion to grant a scholarship to. “It’s very important that organizations in the community are A family spending a crisp, cool morning at the annual Inwood 5K.

Fun Not Rained Out

By Raimundo Ortiz Monday and Tuesday mark the end of the Jewish High Holiday season, and begins a major holiday-less stretch that continues until Passover. On Monday, Jews celebrate Shemini Atzeret, the closing festival of the seven-day holiday of Sukkot and on Tuesday, they observe Simchat Torah, although in some forms of Judaism and in Israel these two holidays are combined. Shemini Atzeret is a day at the end of Sukkot that many Jews spend inside their sukkahs mustering up the spirituality that they will draw from for the rest of the year. Shemini Atzeret leads into Simchat Torah, which literally means “celebration of the Torah,” according to Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim of Chabad of Hewlett. On Simchat Torah, the final portion of the Torah is read, and the cycle begins anew. Rabbi Tenenboim said that on the morning of Simchat Torah, a very important aspect is the opportunity for everyone in attendance to receive an

/RFDO &DQFHU 6XUYLYRU 5XQQLQJ +DOI 0DUDWKRQ WR +HOS 2WKHUV CONTINUED FROM P. A1 The Adelsberg house was full of laughs during the fall of 2001, with eight-year-old Jonah playing a silly card game with his sister Jessica and her friends one Saturday afternoon. “The object of the game was that the loser had to drink eight ounces of water and not go to the bathroom,” said Howard Adelsberg, a lawyer whose office is on the third floor of 445 Central Avenue in Cedarhurst. According to Adelsberg, Jonah developed pain urinating. Not knowing the problem, but suspecting kidney stones or “something related to the kidneys,” Adelsberg and his wife Robin took their son to a pediatrician. “One thing led to another between cat scans and all those other tests they found a mass the size of a grapefruit enmeshed in most of his organs,” said Adelsberg. Jonah had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “The best way the doctor described was that it was like an octopus with tentacles all over.” “It was one hell of a year (2001),” said Adelsberg. Robin Adelsberg spent her weeks in the hospital with Jonah and then on the weekends, Howard would stay there while his wife went home to be with their daughter. “We switched roles so she could recharge her battery,” said Adelsberg. Originally the protocol the Adelsbergs were offered had a 75 percent cure rate over the course of a year. “The protocols are like a recipe for treatment or ingredients,” said Adelsberg. “This was I guess the difference between law where things are black and white and science where things are black, white and gray,” said Adelsberg. “Law, parenting, and medicine conflicted and me and my wife decided that 75 percent was not good enough.” They were able to find a different and far more aggressive treatment protocol that offered a 97 per-

cent cure rate over six months. According to Adelsberg, the chemotherapy and drugs used in the treatment were stronger and of a different nature than the previous suggested protocol, which meant it was much more taxing on eight-year-old Jonah. The suffering during the ordeal was felt throughout the family. “Psychologically, I was a wreck,” said Adelsberg. “It was tough on all of us. Me, my wife, and my daughter. It takes a toll when you’re a child and your younger brother has cancer and your parents have to drop everything for you and focus on your brother. But she was a trooper. Everyone had their own burden to carry.” The choice to take the more aggressive and strenuous protocol proved to be a wise one. Jonah made it through. “The first time they (doctors) saw how enmeshed it was and closed him up and said there’s nothing we can do at this time,” said Adelsberg. “As time went on the chemo melted the tumor away enough to do the surgery the second time. They said the tumor is dead and they cut it out.” Jonah is now 19 years old and cured of his cancer. Over the summer, he volunteered as a counselor at Camp Simcha, a camp affiliated with Chai Lifeline, the organization to which Adelsberg said he owes a debt “that can not be repaid.” “They were there with us right down the line,” said Adelsberg. “They’re a predominantly Jewish organization but they do help non-Jews and they don’t care whether the person is religious or not.” Chai Lifeline’s services include camps, hospital services, educational assistance, community service and crisis intervention. “They try to make life as normal as possible for really sick children,” said Adelsberg. The reason Jonah decided to help out at Camp Simcha was simple, according to Adelsberg. “He wants to give back

to those children, those kids, and the organization that was there to help him.” During Jonah’s illness, Adelsberg said Chai Lifeline would constantly bring home-cooked meals to the hospital where the family was for “a solid six months.” “They had people cooking these meals in a kitchen. I’m not talking about hospital food or TV dinners. They also had big brothers and sisters to try and cheer him up or take him on trips. They even had a big sister for our daughter who was going through all this as a sibling.” Now, Jonah and his dad do the ING Miami mini-marathon to raise money for Chai Lifeline. It is the third time in the last four years they have used this marathon as a fundraiser. “Jonah himself did it three or four years ago,” said Adelsberg. “He got me hooked on it. The year after he did it I said to my wife if Jonah can do it and he went through cancer its certainly the least I can do. And that’s what I did.” Adelsberg said Jonah runs the halfmarathon while he walks it. “He’s younger and in better shape,” said Adelsberg. The only time they did not participate in the last four years was last year. “The marathon we dealt with last year was my daughter’s wedding,” said Adelsberg with a smile and a laugh that has been hard-earned. Adelsberg does legal work pro bono for Chai Lifeline and the money he and his son have been able to generate is impressive. “In the past Jonah and I have raised close to $100,000. Right now we are already at $10,000 (for this year).” Their goal for this year is $30,000.

HEART ATTACK FELLS NASSAU LEGISLATIVE LEADER WED. CONTINUED FROM P. A1 Schmitt’s death leaves the Nassau County Legislature with a 9-9 tie between Republicans and Democrats. Norma Gonsalves, a Republican from East Meadow and the chamber’s deputy presiding officer, will temporarily fulfill the position as the legislature’s presiding officer. Lawmakers are due to vote on the proposed 2013 budget by the end of October. County officials will see if the passage of the budget can be pushed back by several weeks. Mangano will call for a special election to fill Schmitt’s seat within 30 to 60 days and both parties will choose a nominee in the coming weeks. The seat will remain vacant until then. “Nassau County is a better place because of Peter’s leadership, commitment and compassion and he will be greatly missed,” said Mangano. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray said she and her fellow Town Board members are deeply saddened by Schmitt’s sudden passing. “Seldom shy or silent, Peter was a spirited champion for the causes and constituency he represented. County government has lost a dynamic leader, and Nassau County residents are left to cope with the untimely death of a relentless fighter for the public’s well being. On a personal level, I am filled with deep sorrow over the loss of a good friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Schmitt family,” said Murray. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (DNY4) said she was shocked after learning of Schmitt’s passing. “Like many today I’m shocked and saddened by

Nassau County Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt died suddenly on Wednesday morning. Funeral services will be held on Monday, Oct. 8th at 11:00 a.m. the sudden passing of Presiding Officer Schmitt. I know that he fought for his constituents with great enthusiasm and passion. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,” said McCarthy. Mangano ordered flags to be flown at half-staff on County government buildings beginning Wednesday, October 3rd through Tuesday, October 9th in honor of Schmitt’s service to the residents of Nassau County. The hearings on the 2013 budget for Oct. 5th and Oct. 11th have both been cancelled. The next meeting will take place on Oct. 29th. A viewing will be held at

Massapequa Funeral Home located at 4980 Merrick Road in Massapequa Park on Saturday, October 6th and Sunday, October 7th from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Funeral services will take place at Saint Rose of Lima located at 2 Bayview Avenue in Massapequa on Monday, October 8th at 11:00 a.m. Schmitt is survived by his wife, Lois, and daughter, Samantha. “Peter was a loving husband, father and most recently a doting grandfather. My deepest sympathies go out to his wife Lois, his daughter Samantha and his entire family,” said Mangano.

He just didn’t look prepared.” One person seemed to think that Obama’s problem was that his mind was elsewhere. “Michelle was pissed at him because it was their anniversary,” Leonore Weidenfel of Woodmere said. “That’s probably why he seemed so tired and disinterested like he didn’t want to be there.” Meanwhile, some felt that Romney had the upper hand anyway since he’s more recently participated in the GOP debates. “I felt that since he’s been in debates more recently that Romney was probably more prepared,” Seymour from Woodmere said. “Obama didn’t have time to prepare because he’s

been busy running the country and taking care of business.” Many simply felt that they didn’t care what the President did or said, Romney just stole the show. “I don’t subscribe to Romney’s principles, but he looked presidential up there,” Stanley Chertok explained. “He was calm, contained, and not just rehearsed. It didn’t exactly change my attitude toward his policies, but he was presidential enough that I will give him a second look.” Lauren Brasco of Woodmere was also very impressed by Romney’s performance saying, “I thought he was great. I was on the fence before and after the debate I think I’m going to vote for him. I just thought that he was on point and had a good message.”

Bulldogs Strut Down Broadway at Homecoming Parade Text and Photos By Rob Abruzzese

The Hewlett Homecoming Parade went down Broadway from the elementary school to the high school.

ewlett High School held it’s annual Homecoming Parade at 12:00 p.m. last Saturday, Sept. 29th and the students and their friends and family were out in force to show their support. “Everyone was alive and really into it,” Kimberly Smith, a junior in the National Art Honor Society said. “Everyone has a lot of school spirit today and it made the entire event really nice.” Various groups from the Straight to Equality Club and the National Art Honor Society were represented. The freshman had a monster theme, the sophomores were outer space, the juniors fantasy, and the seniors had a superhero theme. The parade was followed by varsity football versus Plainedge, for full coverage of the game, see page A6.

Simchat Torah Marks End to High Holidays CONTINUED FROM P. A1 aliyah, a chance to read directly from the Torah. “Usually only seven people can get this honor, but on Simchat Torah, everyone gets the chance,” said Tenenboim. “Even the children get the opportunity. It builds the connection to the Torah in a young kid to be able to read and be a part of it. It gives them

importance.” Celebrating the spiritual connection to the Torah is the major thrust of this holiday. Whereas many holidays are about studying the Torah, and understanding it, Simchat Torah is simply a celebration. “You will see people dancing with it (Torah),” said Tenenboim. “This may seem strange but the idea is to have a relationship and

closeness with it.” Tenenboim said that Simchat Torah is probably the most anticipated of the High Holidays, because of the feasting, dancing and rejoicing. For Tenenboim, children are the top priority on Simchat Torah. “We believe the children are the future and share an equal part of the Torah with all Jews. They must build a strong connec-

tion, celebrate and show love.” Chabad of Hewlett will be hosting a celebration at 31 Franklin Avenue at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, October 8th. “We have a table that we put the Torah on and we dance around it. The kids have flags with different statements about their love and happiness of being part of this beautiful Torah,” said Tenen-

boim. The reason for revolving around the table is the symbolism of a circle and the continuing relationship with the Torah passing from one generation to the next. The Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre (Conservative), at 245 Main Street in East Rockaway, is having Shemini Atzeret services Monday morning at 9:30 a.m. and a Sim-

chat Torah service and celebration at 6:30 p.m. Monday evening, where refreshments will be served. Temple Israel (Reform) at 140 Lawrence Avenue, Lawrence, will have a dinner on Monday night at 6:00 p.m. followed by a service at 7:00 p.m. All attendees will march around the temple with the Torah while children carry flags and eat jelly apples.

Golden Tornadoes Crush Valley Stream South 57-27 By Raimundo Ortiz

L

awence senior running back Tyler Fredericks gave his signature performance of the young season so far on Valley Stream South’s field Saturday afternoon, gashing them for 190 yards on 18 carries and three rushing touchdowns. Head coach Joe Martillotti made it a point to give Tyler Fredericks the rock this week because he didn’t feel he had touched the ball enough to this point. “He runs hard in bad conditions and the field was a little muddy and sloppy.” Rainy weather was a concern for Martillotti and his staff heading into their matchup with the Valley Stream South Falcons, but the rain stayed away and the mud that was already there didn’t slow Lawrence down a bit. On the opening kickoff, the Falcons bounced a kick to the second to last line of Lawrence special teamers where Tyler Fredericks scooped the ball up and glided around perfect blocks untouched for a score. “After Tyler picked up the first kickoff

and took it back to the house I thought he was going to run well,” said Martillotti. On the second drive of the first quarter, after running the ball several times, quarterback Joey Capobianco dropped back and found his favorite target, senior wide receiver Eddie Robinson, all alone down the middle of the field for a 34-yard touchdown. Tyler Fredericks punched in a two-point conversion to put Lawrence up 15-0 after one quarter. The second quarter was an offensive explosion. Tyler Fredericks scored on Lawrence’s first three possessions of the second quarter on runs of 34 yards, 25 yards, and one yard. The Golden Tornadoes capped their scoring with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Capobianco to Robinson, their second hookup of the afternoon, pushing the lead to 44-0. Coming out of the half, Martillotti left his starters on the field for one more drive, which culminated in Capobianco’s third touchdown strike of the game, a 25-yarder to Mike Fragner. Once the starters were pulled, the Falcons were able to score 27

fensive starters against our second string guys,” said Martillotti. “Was I going to bring my starters back in? No. But I was a little concerned they kept their starters in because it was a little bit of an unfair matchup for awhile.” While sky high point totals are nothing new for Lawrence, which is averaging 52 points a game this season, Tyler Fredericks’ performance shined more than everyone else. While acknowledging that he is a special talent, Martillotti also said other factors played a role in Fredericks’ effort. “We lined up Simon Jones in the backfield a lot to block for him which helped out a little bit and gave us more of a power game. I also think they were trying to stop our passing game. We outnumbered them in the box which let us run the ball.”

Robinson racked up four catches for two touchdowns and also intercepted a pass on defense. Law-

rence was also forced to go for two-point conversions on each of their scores in the second and fourth quarters due to a quirk of Valley Stream South’s field. Behind one of the end zones is a small body of water from which the ball can’t be retrieved. Therefore, successful extra points mean a lost football.

t was just a simple ball that touched the ground in practice, but it made the Hewlett Bulldogs head coach Jay Iaquinta realize that his team hadn’t turned the ball over once all season and it got him thinking. “I saw that ball hit the ground and the coaches and I noticed that hadn’t happened to us all year,” Iaquinta said. “Not one interception, not one turnover, and we thought that’s probably a big reason why we are 3-0. “We had one today and it it was a big one.” The big one cost the Bulldogs their chance at mounting what could have been an impressive second half comeback as they eventually went on to lose their first game of the season, 35-14 to the Plainedge Red Devils at home during Homecoming last Saturday. Just as they had done in each of their first three games, the Bulldogs fell behind 7-0 on the first drive of the game. That deficit wouldn’t last though as quarterback Zach Richman scored on an eight-yard run to tie the game up at 7-7 on the Bulldogs first attempt on offense. Unlike their first three games

The Bulldogs were still down, but after three consecutive come from behind victories so far this season they felt that there was still plenty of time for a comeback. “Every game including Bethpage we went down so at that time I don’t think any of us were worried,” Richman explained. “I thought that was a big drive for us though and I expected it

would help us rally.” From that point on the pace of the game changed in favor of Plainedge though. Hewlett was able to slow down it’s running game, but even on drives where the Red Devils didn’t score they were able to burn precious minutes off the clock. Finally, late in the third quarter, Plainedge’s Soriente broke through for his third touchdown of the game that made it 28-14. Hewlett was running out of time to mount it’s comeback. “We didn’t have the ball that much,” Iaquinta said. “When you

don’t get the ball consistently, we only had the ball once every 12 minutes, it’s hard to make plays.” Hewlett started at the 30-yardline on the next drive and the seriousness of the situation was on everyone’s face as the Bulldogs marched down the field. Quickly it was first-and-goal, then second-and-goal, third-and-goal and then it happened -- sophomore running back Jeremy Leguillow dropped the ball. “Jeremy is a great, young player who just loves the game of football and works really hard at it,” Iaquinta said. “He was just trying to make a great play and lost the ball.” Hewlett never had another big drive in them after that and already trailing 28-14, the Red Devils eventually added another score to go up 35-14. The one silver lining in the fourth quarter may have been that they were finally able to keep Soriente out of the end zone, but ultimately that wouldn’t matter much. It was a tough loss especially since it happened with a 3-0 record at Homecoming. “This might have been a different game if it weren’t Homecoming,” Iaquinta said. “We were a little bit too excited. We always try to keep that even keel and that’s why I don’t like Homecoming in our place. Too many distractions. Anytime anything is different it’s not good. I like normalcy.” Homecoming or not, Iaquinta now wants to see what his team is made of. He explained that it’s hard to learn much from a team that is 3-0, but by Monday in practice he’ll be able to tell a lot more about who is ready to move on and get better and who isn’t. “We knew they were a great team coming in,” Richman said. “Everyone was picking them, not picking us. So it’s not a big surprise that we lost this one. We certainly wanted it, but now we’ll really see who has that drive to win.”

Lawrence Up Against Manhasset at Home By Raimundo Ortiz

W

hile the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes have ripped through their Conference III schedule with basically no resistance through four games, averaging 52 points per game while their starting defense has given up zero points, Head Coach Joe Martillotti is keeping his team focused on the task at hand, the Manhasset Indians. “I expect we’ll see a big of a tougher game this week,â€? said Martillotti. “Manhasset has a pretty good team but we’re going to continue to do what we do with our guys.â€? According to Martillotti, what they do week to week inuences how their next opponent prepares for them. Unlike some teams in Conference III which have a set game plan, the Golden Tornadoes are adaptable. “It’s kind of a chess match with us,â€? said Martillotti. “We see what they are doing in the secondary and if they give us numbers in the box we run the ball. Fortunately we’re good

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 OfďŹ ce of Legislative Budgeting says the plan will cost the average Nassau County homeowner on a property worth $400,000, about $58 per year, however County Executive Ed Mangano has projected that the plan will cost tax payers an average

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

A golf ball rests on the green no less than ďŹ ve feet from the hole, on a barely noticeable hill which is tormenting its owner from putting it in its ďŹ nal 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!â€? he called out. “What do you think? Slightly uphill, right?â€? 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 ag 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,â€? 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

A couple of practice swings and a putt later, the ball sinks into the hole with a stereotypical “plunk.â€? “Nice putt, Jim!â€? said Sable, as he put the ag back in, collected Marigotta and friends’ golf clubs and headed to the next hole. “Thanks,â€? 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,â€? Sable explained. His stepfather, Cameron Wood, is the one of the country club’s pros on staff. “He takes me out here sometimes and gives me lessons. I’d like to be good at this some day.â€? Sable said his stepfather got him his position at Inwood to help him make money during high school. Now after completing his undergraduate studies and moving on to earn a Master’s in special education, Sable caddies to earn extra money Caddy Jon Sable helps a golfer aim up his putt on the third hole.

In the world of dresses and irty 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 ďŹ nish it with a belt,â€? 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 ďŹ gure you have, a safe dress is a beaded dress because it’s forgiving of ďŹ gure aws.â€? 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 air 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,â€? Danca added. “They last. Invest in classic pieces and add trend with an accessory.â€?

enough that we can throw or run depending on what they give us.â€? This season, Manhasset has shown a similar capability to run the football or turn to the air in times of need. The top focus of Lawrence’s suddenly stout defense will be Indians quarterback Kevin Overlander. “Overlander’s a very good quarterback and does a lot of nice things. He’s a great athlete,â€? said Martillotti. “If we blitz him and don’t get him he can make us pay running the ball. Also, he’s not afraid to be on the run and pull up at the line of scrimmage and throw it deep.â€? Despite Overlander’s versatility, Martllotti expressed the utmost conďŹ dence in his defense, which has not been scored on in 2012. “Who are they going to try and pick on?â€? asked Martillotti. “Are they really going to go at Eddie Robinson and Jordan Fredericks at the safety position? If they want to do that be my guest.â€? He also said that with a 6’3 cornerback in Mike Fragner, and a “4.5 speed guyâ€? in Raquan Grandy he is prepared to stop a passing attack. “Our secondary

guys are as good as any that are out there.� Another typical problem facing teams that have had as much success as the Golden Tornadoes is the tendency to relax and coast. That hasn’t been an issue for Lawrence so far, though. “We’ve have more competitive practices than some of our games,� said Martillotti. “�It’s tougher to run some of our plays against our scout defense because they know what’s coming which makes it a little trickier. It pushes us and we’ve got a nice little competition going on between the groups in practice.� Martillotti also has put the onus on his reserves to pick their level of play up, because they have been getting into lots of game situations. “We feel the next guys up need more work. I don’t want to see them go in and give up 27 unanswered points (as they did against Valley Stream South). We’re going to do a better job of getting our second string guys some more reps in practice and preparing them.� Game time is 3:00 p.m. Saturday at Lawrence High School

Post SAT Play for Hewlett at Glen Cove By Rob Abruzzese

C

oming off their ďŹ rst loss of the season, the Hewlett Bulldogs won’t necessarily be looking to improve on the mistakes they made last week. Instead, they will be trying to making it through the SAT’s with enough focus left to play a competitive game of football. “The SAT’s are a huge factor,â€? Hewlett’s head coach Jay Iaquinta said. “Last year we played at Manhasset after the SAT’s and we were late, we were rushing, and we were down two scores before we knew what happened. Luckily we were good enough to come back and win, but it was just a scramble show.â€? To top off the fact that the Bulldogs are playing after their SAT’s, they are also travelling to Glen Cove for the game. So to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible, Iaquinta and his staff have made sure that travel arrangements have been made for all of the players ahead of time to avoid people

scrambling around at the last second. Football almost seems secondary to getting the kids there, on time, and focused on the game, but Iaquinta certainly is thinking about that as well. Coming off a tough and emotional loss, he likes what he has seen so far in practice and has even gone as far to say that he thinks the team will be better off. “They’re resilient,� Iaquinta explained. “They never get too crazy in an emotional game whether it’s a win or a loss. It’s just one game in a long journey. There are some things that we have to work on. You never want to lose a game, but you learn a lot more from a loss and you could see it in their body language that they are prepared for this game.� The Bulldog’s opponent this Saturday will be the Glen Cove Cardinals, whom they haven’t played in the last three years. Iaquinta and his coaches have been reviewing plenty of video tape to prepare though. “They like the big play so our

focus is going to be on containing them and stopping that big play,â€? Iaquinta said. “Their running game is their strength, they have nice size. To win high school football games you have to stop the run ďŹ rst. That’s almost universal.â€? After the Bulldogs let Plainedge’s Gianfranco Soriente run for 184 yards against them last Saturday it makes sense that they will pay attention to the running game. Glen Cove has a solid running game as well and one that comes with multiple options. Billy Neice is coming off an impressive 120 yard and one touchdown performance against South Side last week. Three weeks ago, Sean Tan rushed for 104 yards and Will Kassar had 81 and a touchdown in the same game against Carle Place. Glen Cove is the hot team of the two. Both are 3-1, but Glen Cove has won three in a row since losing it’s ďŹ rst game of the season. Hewlett plays Saturday at Glen Cove, 3:00 p.m.

On inwood5k.com, the diversity of Inwood is touted, as well as the civic pride. People of all backgrounds and age groups descend upon Inwood Park when it is time to race, and the unity is a big reason the Inwood 5K even exists. “It brings 12 organizations in our community together for one day,” said DeRosa. “Each provides volunteers and has a job to make the event run smoothly.”

The togetherness brought about by the race is the major payoff for DeRosa and Sobol, as well as the privilege of helping hard-working students reach their goals. “The personal satisfaction for Peter Sobol and myself is to coordinate the collective efforts of each organization and reward the students of their choice,” said DeRosa. The real show gets going after the main race is over. After the 5K is completed, young children swarm to the Inwood Park football field for the Pumpkin Tot-Trot. The Pumpkin Tot-Trot is free for kids ages six and under. These kids race around collecting pumpkins off the ground and are allowed to bring home the pumpkin they retrieve. All the tiny participants get a medal during the

5K awards ceremony. Registration is open until October 5th at 9:00 a.m. Entering the race costs $20 for entrants ages 18-65. Racers 65 and older pay $15. For those who missed registration, you can sign up for the race from 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. on October 7th for $25. There is also a 1K fun run for children 12 years old and under at 9:00. The 1K is $15 or $25 on race day. The awards being given out are for the top three finishers male and female, the top three physically challenged participants, and the top three in the following age groups: 12 and under, 1315, 16-18, 19-24, and five-year age groups through 80 plus.

It was absolutely evident if you were at both events. The Republican convention got off to a very slow and uncertain start, partly because the Romney campaign was thrown off stride by the revelations of Representative Akin, by continued pressure resulting from Romney’s refusal to release his taxes, and several other things, plus Hurricane Isaac forced the cancellation of the first day of the convention and set things in disarray,” said Levy. Levy said he could see that the Republicans were having a hard time getting their message across during the convention. He stated that Mitt Romney had a much harder task in Tampa Bay than Barack Obama had in Charlotte. “Obama could focus on the moderate, independent, suburban voters – the swingiest of the swing voters in this country. He did not have to worry about his left wing. Mitt Romney had to focus on getting the people that should be the most with him, to actually take his campaign seriously and to be energized by it. He had to spend a lot of time messaging and getting his right wing base at the same time. He was reaching out to people that are pro-choice, not for gay rights, anti-tax, anti-government, don’t want spending on anything.” During the course of the Republican convention, Levy said that Romney had to pivot and talk to voters that are a part of the “sandwich generation.” He said these are people that do not see government as the enemy, although they may be disappointed with its performance at times. “These are people whose parents may need long term care and heath care, whose children are in, approaching or just finished college and wondering how they are going to pay for that. Whether we like it or not, you need the deepest pockets to help you with these problems and these tend to be the federal government and after that, the state government.” Levy said that Romney did a decent job delivering his speech at the convention and picked up a balance of three

or four points. He said going into Charlotte, the race was deadlocked based on national averages of the poll. But Obama had an advantage during his speech. “Obama was able to focus on getting a head start by reaching out to those undecided moderates. He gave an intentionally underwhelming and unemotional speech. It was by design. He has been accused and people have concerns of him being all atmospherics-- a guy that gives a good speech, a guy that talks a good game but doesn’t walk it. Obama just wanted to not throw out this great rhetorical card and he succeeded. [Both speeches] cancelled out as far as I’m concerned—with one exception— Bill Clinton.” Levy said President Bill Clinton gave a phenomenal speech and made all the difference during the convention. He portrays the same image that Obama stands behind. “What [Clinton] stands for is the direction and image Obama wants to portray—that he is a moderate, fair-minded, middle of the road guy who you can trust. And maybe he doesn’t feel your pain like President Clinton, but

he understands your pain. And that’s what it comes down to now.” In the end, Levy said the November election would all come down to personality and whom people are comfortable with, rather than particular issues. “How people feel about a candidate is the sum total of all the issues a person cares about. And it gets filtered through the prism of their own life. They may express it as a guy they would have a beer with, a guy I’d have over for dinner, someone I can trust my children with, but that’s after filtering all these issues in. I want to see how they hold up under pressure because when you elect a president of the United States, you’re electing a person who is going to operate under the most intense pressure.” Nevada, Iowa, Colorado, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio and New Hampshire are considered to be the states that are still in play at this time. “In the end, the deciders will be a handful of suburbanites who are still undecided, who go back and forth and who will probably split their tickets. That’s what the campaign will focus on from here on in.”

Romney Wins First Round

I

n the 1970s the two colossi of pugilism, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had three epic fights for the undisputed heavyweight crown. Their fighting styles and approaches could not have been more different from one another, ditto their lifestyles, politics and personalities. The contests, one of which was called “The Fight of the Century� and the last of which was “The Thrilla [sic.] in Manila� polarized Americans, often splitting families and even spouses from one another. Both fighters were the most talented of their generation and it seemed that far more than a boxing crown was at stake when they were in the ring. On Wednesday night America saw the first of what will be three epic toe-to-toe battles held in a confined space and televised to the world. In one corner we had the incumbent President of the United States, an incredibly intelligent and gifted individual, an undefeated heavyweight political champion who vanquished such notable contenders as Hillary Clinton and John McCain with ease and aplomb. In the other corner, the former Governor of Massachusetts – a man who amassed great wealth by virtue of his gifts in business and finance and rose to secure the Republican nomination for president by dint of his indefatigability in the face of a chorus of naysayers. The clear underdog going into Wednesday night’s match-up was Mitt Romney. Battered by pollsters, pundits and even by many in his own party and nearly given-up for dead, Romney’s reputation was not as a “great communicator.� What ensued was a desperate Romney furiously punching to get himself out of the corner if not off the mat. Like James J. Braddock (portrayed by Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man) Romney was literally fighting for his survival and like Braddock, he surprised everyone at ringside by repeatedly stinging the reigning champ and going the distance. Romney was aided by a couple of factors – first, it seemed as though a thoroughly bored and desultory Obama showed-up in Denver. This can’t be the way the president plays one on one basketball at The White House gym. He was playing a zone defense when man-to-man coverage was in order. Second, debate moderator Jim Lehrer seems to be approaching his dotage. At times he seemed to be snoozing out on the porch and allowed a nearly unrestrained tit-for-tat type of debate, Romney was able to dance like a butterfly and string like a bee. That Lehrer gave more talk time to Obama and kept trying to cut-off Romney later in he debate actually worked to Romney’s advantage as it compelled Romney to be more forceful and concise. In fairness to the president, the presidency is a tremendously exacting job no matter how well one does it and burnout in office is quite endemic. In the first half of the 19 th Century, James K. Polk, (America’s 11th president and also a Democrat) insisted on only serving one term owing to how thankless and stressful the job is. In fact, Polk, who up until that point was America’s youngest person elected president, actually died just three months after leaving office. If Romney is elected, look for his hair to go mostly gray after a couple of years on the job. Romney’s key triumph in the first debate was his bursting forth as a GOP moderate. He actually took ownership of RomneyCare in Massachusetts and vigorously fought back against Obama’s attempts to paint him as a Tea Partier. With Paul Ryan running to his right, Romney can now reclaim the center. Romney came across as forceful, relatable and empathetic. He also turned some Democratic jingoisms on their head, most notably his terming of Obamanomics as “trickle-down government.� Romney’s performance will reenergize many a listless GOP congressional and senatorial campaign across the country and ensure that the second and third debates will be both highly watched and highly important to the outcome of the election. The first and subsequent debates show some of what’s best about America. Here you had two superbly intelligent individuals on opposite sides of the political spectrum conducting a civil debate, free of invective and personal slurs. The sparring was all about policy and all verbal. The debate was on a very high level intellectually, almost to the point of being wonkish. That neither Mr. Obama or Mr. Romney dumbed it down was thoroughly refreshing. Adults speaking to adults about our very grown-up heavyweight challenges as a nation. Next Thursday on the undercard, Congressman Ryan will go up against Vice President Joe Biden in what surely will be a highly entertaining and informative debate. There are two more presidential bouts slated between now and the end of the month. Look for a much tougher match in the next round, but whatever the outcome, the American people and our democracy are the undisputed winners.

COMMON SENSE

TOWN CLERK POST MORTEM By DAVID FREEDMAN

O

ver the past week, we the residents in the Town of Hempstead have seen our Town Clerk, Mark Bonilla arrested and charged with multiple counts of alleged sexual harassment . Along with those charges, he was accused of possible attempts at blackmailing his accusers, by attempting to obtain intimate photos of one of the female accusers by forcing her ex-boyfriend to provide them to him. Kate Murray the TOH Supervisor has called for his resignation and to date, he has not resigned, rather, he has reported to work. Last year, I supported Steven Anchin in his run for the Town Clerk’s position. I believed that new blood was needed in the Town Clerk’s ofďŹ ce. For that matter, I believed new blood was needed in all of the Town ofďŹ ces. The Democratic candidates ran on a mantra that 100-plus years of one party rule in the Town of Hempstead was corrupting. Although, I agreed that the mantra was correct in its assessment of creating corruption, I stated in an article last year, that I felt that the repeated discussion by Democratic candidates had little traction with the voters and that November, the Republican incumbents were swept back into ofďŹ ce rather handily. The reality is that 100-plus years of one party control in a town the size of Hempstead is corrupting inherently. Entrenched politicians tend to gain a sense of entitlement and tend to show preference to their friends in public works projects as well as patronage positions. No surprises there! But the arrest of Mark Bonilla now brings the

He is a published author of a novel “A Buttery on the Gowanus Expresswayâ€? and he maintains a political blog called Federal Follies located on the web at http://thefederalfollies.blogspot.com. He is married with two children and is active in the community both politically and socially.

“obviousâ€? to light in a clear and convincing way. Even Mr. Bonilla’s closest supporters are running for cover. With Mr. Bonilla delaying what may be an eventual resignation, those in power must feel that an ugly spotlight is being pointed at the whole Republican apparatus in the Town of Hempstead. People are now starting to see with a newly opened eye, the wasteful spending going on in the Town. This light now shows clearly on shuttered business districts in villages like Woodmere, or even in downtown Hempstead itself. It illuminates the lack of support for real development of affordable housing. The existing town government has failed for generations to see that Hempstead is really a large city, with real urban problems. Why is Hempstead providing passport services, when anyone can walk into any post ofďŹ ce and get the exact same service? Why does a person have to take off from work to obtain copies of birth or death certiďŹ cates at Town Hall when other municipalities provide those services online with payment by credit card? We live this way because entrenched political cronyism permits it. Up until now, very few people felt energized to complain about our lack of services. Now we see the coziness that exists in our town government. It is a coziness which allows a public ofďŹ cial to actually contemplate making a $10,000 payment to make a “problemâ€? go away. So what do we do about it? First we must recognize that Hempstead is at the breaking point. Economically, we cannot survive the tax structure, the waste and the indifference by our elected ofďŹ cials. We need new blood. Second, we need a comprehensive plan for redevelopment. This includes low and middle income housing. We need to make tax abatements and credits available to support new business growth and to bolster existing businesses to survive and grow. The Town of Hempstead must modernize its processes, especially in the building department as well as how we manage development to make it easier to get things built. How do we do all this? We have to get to the polls. We cannot abdicate this responsibility. If we want to get the entrenched politicos’ attention, we need to speak out and speak out loudly and most importantly, we must vote.

The God Particle By Joel Moskowitz Scientists have recently conďŹ rmed the existence of something called the “God Particle.â€? The scientiďŹ c name for this particle is the “Higgs Boson,â€? named after the physicist who originally theorized its existence. The theory is that electroweak or elementary particles acquire mass by colliding with mass. Of course this would entail a great deal of force and speed. The idea behind the research is to conďŹ rm the existence of the “Big Bang Theoryâ€? and in essence how the world was created. For 50 years a laboratory in the suburbs of Geneva called CERN, has been using colliders to test the theory and recently after billions of dol-

lars spent has identiďŹ ed the particle. While physicists prefer to call it by its scientiďŹ c name, “Higgs Boson,â€? almost everyone else calls it the God Particle. I think it’s obvious that we prefer God Particle because for up until about 700 years ago the only way humans could describe creation and the physical world was in religious terms. Since then science has added a different dimension to explaining creation. Or as I like to describe it, the world was chugging along at 30 MPH until about the 15th Century, then we put the pedal to the metal and have not taken our foot off since. In order to reconcile the existence of God with Big Bang, religious people rely on two things that science can never explain; what came before Big Bang and the human conscience otherwise known as the soul. The scientiďŹ c blueprint may prove exactly how the world was created and how we evolved but it fails to explain who or what pushed that ďŹ rst button. Science simply explains the existence of things in terms of time, space, motion and mass; religion explains things

hile there are plenty of people who can only work in sterile and silent conditions that make libraries look like carnivals, I ourish amidst noise and chaos. The noisier, the better. Music blaring in my ears, I cannot concentrate unless life is going on around me, with an added dose of Van Halen owing through a headset. In this case, silence is deafening. Some people work in an ofďŹ ce and others work from home, though I ďŹ nd the latter to be at-out impossible. It is not because my house is too quiet – Ha! Rather, I ďŹ nd that when I am home, all I wanted to do is housework. I cannot allow the beds to remain unmade, or a toy left out of place or the oor upswept, all resulting from a busy morning getting the kids off to school. Instead, I must ďŹ nish straightening the house before I sit down to do my other work, the work for which I actually get paid. And as a result, when I leave in the morning to take the kids to school, my work bag is in tow and my mind is already ready to face the assignments before me – all of which will be accomplished outside of my home. Some treat various Starbucks locations as their place of work, where they meet clients and treat them to lattes. For many reasons, it has become an accepted practice. I, on the other hand, follow that mindset but regularly visit a different location, one that I actually have the chutzpah to refer to as “the ofďŹ ce.â€? A table at Gotta Getta Bagel in Woodmere is where I can often be found clicking away at the keys on my semi-functional netbook, i-Pad situated next to me, eating a large salad bite by bite. I am here so often that the staff knows me by name and when I tell certain friends I am at the ofďŹ ce, they know where to ďŹ nd me. The hustle and bustle of the store might be distracting to some but it is exactly what I need to be fully productive. On occasion, my husband stops by to pick up lunch or just to check on me. Recently, in the midst of working on a submission, he walked into the store to pick up his order. Sitting beside me for a moment, he tended to a business call and began to innocently nibble on my salad. My eyes bugged out of my head. He did not even realize what he was doing, as innocuous as it might have been to a normal person. I, on the other hand, am not normal – and I don’t share my food. A couple of minutes later, bag in hand, he was out the door and on his way to work. StupeďŹ ed by what had just occurred, I began to rant at a closed door after he was clearly out of earshot. “Do I go to YOUR place of work and eat YOUR

CAMPAIGN TRAIL

Goodbye Columbus?

n 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. That’s how the history lesson of Christopher Columbus was taught to us kids back in the black and white 60s. Old Chris was a pretty big deal back in the day. After all, this is the man who discovered America, or the Western Hemisphere. Although Columbus Day didn’t officially become a national holiday until 1937, Americans (and other countries on this side of the world) have been commemorating the anniversary of his first landing in the Caribbean on October 12, 1492 for centuries now. Like a lot of holidays, in America its been moved to the closest Monday to the 12th so that a lot of folks can get a three-day weekend. This year it’s on the 8th. Originally of Italian heritage, Columbus is also known as Cristoforo Colombo in Italian and Cristóbal Colón in Spanish. This explorer has an alias to fit any nationality. In New York, ItalianAmericans and Hispanic-Americans for decades have had separate Columbus Day parades as the rivalry to claim ethnic rights to this man’s glory hasn’t been able to be merged or reconciled. A lot is known about Columbus. He thought he was going to find a passage to the Orient by sailing west from Spain across the Atlantic. What he didn’t know was that two whole continents would block his way. He sailed for gold and riches but it would be his conquistador heirs who would find it among the Incas, Mayans and other indigenous peoples in Central and South America. Everyone my age knows about the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, his three boats. To Americans of European extraction, his feat and daring compare with Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. After all, this was a guy who really didn’t know where he was going, how long it would take to get there, what he’d encounter by way of dangers along the way or even if his theory about finding land at

P

Posthumous portrait of Christopher Columbus by Sebastiano del Piombo. all would hold any water, so to speak. This was still a time when most thought the world was flat and that Columbus might just sail right off of it. It was “boldly going where no man had gone before.” Even Armstrong knew how many miles away the moon was from earth and about how long it would take to get there. Columbus? Really it was like taking off for the next galaxy. With no radar. No sonar. No GPS. No mechanical, steam or electrical power. No packaged or canned food. Not even any plumbing. This took a potent combination of guts and greed both on Columbus’ part and on that of their Most Catholic Majesties, Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain. No end of places and things have been named after him. We have Columbus Circle in Manhattan, Columbia University, the CBS television network, the District of Columbia down in Washington, Columbus, Ohio and it goes on and on. Of course, Columbus only “discovered” America for the Europeans who profited very nicely from his initiative. The Spanish became an immensely rich global empire, spreading their lan-

guage and the Catholic faith throughout much of the hemisphere. The French for a time did well in North America until they either sold or lost most of it. The British were the dominant power also in the region and the countries of the United States and Canada emerged from what was British North America. For the Jews, America became the best haven of freedom and opportunity they ever had along with providing the alliance with the U.S. that helps make Israel possible. So, while Columbus’ legacy has been good for white Europeans and their progeny, it set in motion no end of ethnic cleansing, genocide, dispossession, disease and despair for Native Americans (both in North and South America) that to a great extent prevails to this day, notwithstanding the ubiquity of Indian gambling casinos. It also set the stage for the forceful importation of millions of blacks from Africa, their being dragged into slavery and their legacy of persecution and discrimination that has only been redressed recently.

eople often ask me what my top priority is and I tell them it has never changed – creating private sector jobs. My Senate Republican colleagues and I are committed to creating a more business-friendly climate in New York so that businesses can grow and create jobs. During the past two years we’ve accomplished a lot to achieve this goal. In fact, 145,000 new private sector jobs were created in New York State last year. The first thing we had to do was put an end to state government gridlock and get government functioning again for the taxpayers. Senate Republicans worked with Governor Andrew Cuomo to pass two early budgets that reduced state spending, cut taxes and resulted in the creation of new private sector jobs. Families on Long Island have had to tighten their belts to make ends meet and so did state government. This year’s budget reduced spending by streamlining government and cutting the state bureaucracy.

Dean Skelos

is Majority Leader of the New York State Senate and State Senator for New York’s 9th S.D. which includes The Five Towns

As we reduced state spending, we were also able to reduce taxes. We enacted the Middle Class Tax Cut and Job Creation Plan last December that reduced personal income tax rates to their lowest in 58 years. More than four million middle class taxpayer had their rates cut. The tax cut package also reduced taxes for manufacturing companies by $25 million to help create jobs. Families on Long Island pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation. Senate Republicans worked with the Governor to enact a two percent property tax cap that is working to bring skyrocketing property taxes under control and finally provide relief to overburdened homeowners. The job-killing MTA Payroll Tax was a direct hit on the budgets of every business, school and non-profit organization. Senate Republicans led the fight to repeal this burdensome tax for schools, non-profits, and 80 percent of small businesses that had been required to pay it. That’s 60,000 businesses on Long Island that will be able to reinvest these funds in their businesses. In addition to cutting taxes, we have also worked with the Governor to make targeted economic investments to grow business and create jobs. This year’s budget included $150 million for the second round of Regional Council economic development awards funding to rebuild regional economies. The Long Island Regional Economic Development Council recently submitted its one-year progress report on 62 different projects

involving a state investment of nearly $60 million. The Regional Council reported that these investments have retained or created 6,000 jobs and attracted a commitment of $81.5 million in additional economic investments. Also included in this year’s budget is the “NY Works” program. This program accomplishes two goals: it will improve and rebuild the state’s roads, highways, and bridges and fund other critical infrastructure projects, while at the same time, create thousands of new jobs and help get our economy back on track. Last year, the Senate passed its NEW JOBS-NY plan. This plan eliminated taxes on manufacturers and included cuts in corporate and personal income taxes for small businesses. It also included tax incentives for businesses to hire new employees and the plan reduced energy taxes. We did not have a partner in the Assembly for these common sense-measures, but we will continue to pursue them. The last two years in New York State government have been some of the most productive in recent memory. Senate Republicans are looking forward to an even better New York going forward. As we look to next year, we’re ready to tackle our economic challenges. New York is headed in the right direction towards a stronger economy, but as people and businesses continue to struggle, we know there is much more work to be done.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It was Terrorism To the Editor, I was amazed to read in The Wall Street Journal that the Obama administration finally admits after about two weeks of denial, that the attacks on the US embassies in Libya and Egypt were in fact attacks by terrorists and not as a result of the YouTube movie about the Prophet Mohammad. This after he sent his stooges to the Sunday morning TV talk shows five days after the attacks who blamed the storming of ALL the USA embassies in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Asia TOTALLY on the insane YouTube video. Let us not forget UN Ambassador Rice also. Up until last week blaming it on the YouTube video. It looks either like a cover up or an administration that cannot connect the dots. In either case, it is deplorable. To quote Ronald Regan – HEAR WE GO AGAIN! This administration has NOT for one minute in its almost four years in power, taken any responsibility for anything that can be construed as negative to him, his policies, laws enacted, regulations or his administration. Maybe we should call him the Teflon President. All that any ordinary citizen had to do is connect the dots:

The anniversary of 9/11 Coordinated attacks The use of rocket propelled grenade launchers I did, and so did so many other individuals. But not Obama. The only conclusion any ordinary citizen could have reached was: al Qaeda. Since when do spontaneous demonstrations come with rocket propelled grenade launchers? But NO. If he did link the events to al Qaeda, it would show the American people and the world that his appeasement policy did not work and he failed to ramp up the security at ALL US embassies around the world on the anniversary of 9/11. It is 1979 all over again, but this time, Americans were killed and not taken hostages. Appeasing your enemies, like Neville Chamberlain did with the Nazis, does not work. But this President apparently has not learned from what history teaches us – if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. And we have!! The enemies of the USA are emboldened because of the weakness they see in the US, caused by this weak President. The continuation of his policies for an additional term will conclude his agenda of weakening the USA in the eyes of the world, both economical-

ly and militarily. Make no mistake – he will do it. Just read his book. He outlines it, just as Hitler did in “Mein Kampf.” Unfortunately no one took Hitler seriously, nor do many people in the US either. It seems the US public is too concerned with reality shows or animated movies to listen to what he says or sees what he has been doing. All this is his plan to weaken the US. Make no mistake about it. One last note to keep in mind – Obama’s refusal to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu – when they both are to be in NYC to address the UN General Assembly, shows how Obama views Israel, not as a strategic partner, but a country he has thrown under the bus. At a time of great turmoil in the Mid East, not just from the events of last week, but from Iran’s determination to make a nuclear bomb and desire to destroy Israel, shows his ineptness and total disregard for Israel. But he seemed to have enough time to go on the Letterman show that day. Americans wise up. Four more years of this, and we will become another Greece. His FAILED policies will lead this country to greater turmoil than what was exhibited 11 years ago on 9/11.

I

t’s October and nothing beats a fresh and crisp apple picked directly off the tree -or even a pumpkin twisted off of its vine. It’s worth the drive out east so grab the kids and your friends and take a scenic drive to some of Long Island’s best apple orchards and pumpkin patches. There are also many local wineries nearby that parents can enjoy after the kids tire out from too many apples. Many of these farms offer delectable autumn treats such as apple cider donuts, freshly baked fruit pies, roasted sweet corn and homemade sticky caramel apples. You can also enjoy a hayride through the orchards after picking a bushel or a peck of apples and the biggest pumpkins. If you’d prefer staying closer to home, there are some great u-pick places that won’t put a damper on your gas bill.

Tasty Apple Tips and Recipes

Y

ou come home after a long and enjoyable day of apple picking with the family and unload that huge bag that is spilling with McIntosh and Granny Smiths. What can you do with your abundant fall harvest? How many times can you smear a spoonful of peanut butter on an apple slice or throw some chopped pieces into your oatmeal? Apples are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes that’ll have your taste buds going bananas!

Roast the pumpkin seeds: Here is a quick and easy way to turn the pumpkin into a very tasty treat. 1. Rinse the pumpkin seeds under cold water and pick out the pulp and strings. 2. Place the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet, stirring to coat. If you prefer, omit the oil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. 3. Sprinkle with salt and bake at 325 degrees farenheit until toasted which will take about 25 minutes. Check and stir after 10 minutes. 4.  Let them cool and store them in an airtight container.

Don’t wash apples until just before using to prevent spoilage Keep apples cool after picking to increase shelf life Try not to drop apples because it’ll cause them to bruise Apples make a great centerpiece for your autumn table and bring color to the room š Try making homemade oating candle holders by cutting off the top of the apple, coring it, and then hollowing the center. Fill the empty apple with a tea light and then allow it to oat in a large glass bowl. š Dry apple slices in your oven and use them to decorate candles, make homemade potpourri by adding lots of cinnamon, or eating the slices as a healthy snack.

n conjunction with this year’s Grandparents Day, more than 100 family members from across Long Island recently gathered to celebrate their beloved seniors during the Third Annual “Savvy Senior Day,” presented by Long Island senior advocacy and resource group, Association of Generational Experts for Seniors (AGES). Featuring food, music and entertainment, the event rolled out the royal carpet for all seniors who were nominated for Savvy Senior over the summer, all of whom were awarded certificates of appreciation. The event also revealed and announced Long Island’s first-ever Savvy Senior King and Queen, with 82-year-old Peter Vannucci of Northport, NY and 74-year old Sondra Rose of Cedarhurst, NY each donning royal crowns and robes while receiving gift certificates toward professional studio portraits, complements of Bradford Renaissance Portraits. Additionally, 93-year-old Michael Montelione of Nassau County, NY, a veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor who is past commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3211 of Hicksville, NY, was recognized and awarded an American Legion commemorative challenge coin as well as an American Legion/ American Flag cross flag from The American Legion Post 1066 Commander, Jack Hipp. Rose, who became a community activist after her grandson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage three and trained with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society' Team In Training program so she could regularly raise funds for the organization through her participation in hiking, biking and half marathon events, says she is delighted to be named this year’s Queen. “It was great to receive this honor and be able to share my ex-

4POESB 3PTF PG $FEBSIVSTU perience and passion for being an active senior,” says Rose, who has completed 13 half marathons and one full marathon to date. “It is my hope that other seniors will consider ways in which they too can enjoy being active while making a difference for community causes that are near and dear to their hearts.” While spending much of his life rescuing others during his 18year stint as a Jones Beach lifeguard and a Korean War veteran, Vannucci, an avid skier, was designated “King” for his personal of triumph over illness. After suffering a heart attack in 1993 at 63 years of age and 210 pounds, which forced Vannucci to restrict his skiing altitudes, he changed his diet and applied a natural, holistic approach, reversing his cardiac heart disease without surgery and dropping his weight to 180 pounds.

B4 this year’s Savvy Senior King,” says Vannucci. “There are so many seniors out there doing great things who deserve to be recognized and appreciated and I share this honor with all of them. What is so wonderful about Savvy Senior Day is that it reinforces the great camaraderie that we as seniors share with one another. We all experience a tremendous sense of solidarity and

pride whenever any senior is celebrated.” “It has been so uplifting to see so many people working together to ensure this event’s success so every senior nominated received their day to shine,” says AGES Chairperson Rita Medaglio-Barrera. “Thanks to their support, many of today’s exceptional seniors living on Long Island were recognized for the countless contributions they’ve made and continue to make. It was with

great honor and admiration that we received the opportunity to celebrate each and every one of them.”

“In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s new book, he says his ďŹ rst clue that the housekeeper’s son was his was when the boy started looking like him. His second clue was when he was the only Mexican kid with an Austrian accent.â€?

–Conan O’Brien “Arnold Schwarzenegger was on ‘60 Minutes’ promoting his book. He said you can’t run from your mistakes. You have to confront them. Yeah, especially if they look exactly like you and keep calling you dad.�

“Mitt Romney and Snooki are back in the news. Romney recently was asked who he liked better, Snooki or Honey Boo Boo. He picked Snooki. Snooki heard this and said it was awesome but she still hasn’t decided who she’s voting for. You should be allowed to vote or be on ‘Jersey Shore,’ not both.â€? – Jimmy Kimmel “You have to ďŹ gure Snooki will vote for Obama. She might be the only person in America who is better off now than she was four years ago.â€?

–Jimmy Kimmel “Florida election ofďŹ cials say at least 10 counties have identiďŹ ed suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration forms. And they were turned in by a ďŹ rm working for the Republican Party of Florida. I guess they got suspicious when they realized most of the votes were for Bob Dole.â€?

–Jay Leno “These debates are tightly controlled. Each side, Obama and Romney, had to agree to 32 pages of rules. It’s like being a Kardashian husband.�

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

Enjoy The Silence? I Don’t Think So. CONTINUED FROM P. A10 food?!â€? I wondered out loud, the staff behind the counter laughing hysterically. Walking it off, I resumed my work and got back to my salad. This, for me, is just another day at the ofďŹ ce. Knowing many people in the neighborhood, there are few days that go by in which I do not see at least one or two with whom I have a relationship. Some know that I am working, so they smile, allowing me to continue and not break a train of thought. Others ask me if I am writing my next column, hoping I may give them an idea what the topic du jour might be, while others are simply interested in sharing some feedback about something recently published. Either way, I am appreciative that they have taken a moment or two to say “hiâ€?, even when tell me they have not enjoyed what I’ve been writing lately. Admittedly, maybe I spend too much time at Gotta Getta, though Joel (the proprietor and a friend) swears he does not mind. One woman who has seen me here on numerous occasions told me she does not think it is nice that I plug my computer into the outlet in the store and use Joel’s electricity, something I do not pay for in

space and freeing up a table, I gathered my belongings as the phone continued to ring. Finally, like being called up from the bullpen, it was time to take the mound. “Miriam,â€? screamed Joel, “can you get that?!â€? The rookie that I am, I was taken aback, but ready to help my team. “Really?â€? I asked him, but he was dead serious. Picking up the cordless phone from the counter, the words “Gotta Getta Bagelâ€? ew out of my mouth as I answered the phone. Of course, I could not help the person with his request and Joel, knowing who it was, told me to just ask him to call back later. A persistent caller, though apparently not a customer, he did not want to take “noâ€? for answer. I kept at it, ďŹ nally convincing him that he’d be happier speaking to someone who knew what he was talking about if he just called back in a little while. I must have convinced him, or sounded like the complete idiot I seemed to be, because he took my advice, promising to call back in an hour. I hung up the phone and smiled, satisďŹ ed at my semicompetent contribution to the team. “See?â€? I said aloud, beaming with pride. “I really DO work here.â€?

SOAPBOX-

The God Particle CONTINUED FROM P. A10 as beyond the scope of those logical things. Young people today look at the world as less complicated than before. My kids still cannot believe I ever had to dial a phone number or had to go to the library to do research for a term paper. They barely know what a pay phone is and cannot fathom that anyone used a typewriter. But we older folks remember a simpler time when we were not connected to everything and everyone all day long. We spoke to our friends and family when we were near a phone and had something to say. We saw the news once a day and we read newspapers. More importantly, we took time out to recognize that there was a power greater than science and technology that explained

things to us that logic could not. And we basked in the world’s relative simplicity. I like the term God Particle because it denotes the limits of scientiďŹ c explanation. There are just some things that cannot be explained and frankly shouldn’t be even in a world where information can be obtained in seconds on a smart phone. Mysticism tries to explain the unexplainable on a spiritual level but even the mastering of that discipline is limited to a select few. What excites me most about scientiďŹ c revelations is not the absence of God but His apparent retraction. We used to need God to explain every element of the universe and our existence, now we really only need God to explain why we should choose good over evil, why we should tap into our soul.

Science enables us to limit religion to our homes and communities and to unify as the human race in wider areas. We no longer have to ďŹ ght over who holds the ultimate truth because no matter which deity we worship science has proven He used one blueprint to get us all to this point. The rest is up to us. We are the only species that has the ability to retract from animal instincts. We are not predators and overall we seek to help one another. Science may explain which chemicals in our brain coax us to be altruistic but deep down we all know that only God has the power make us this way. In the immortal words of the great Bob Dylan: “Well it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody.â€?

the cost of my salad. I showed her that, in fact, my computer was not plugged in but was running on battery. I have had to plug my computer in on occasion, I told her, but it is a rarity and, again, Joel did not mind. Upon further review of the evidence, she apologized but still questioned whether treating the store as my regular hangout was acceptable. I thanked her for opinion, reassuring her that I purchase food each time I am here. I don’t loiter – I pay to play. My friend Julie joked with Joel that for the amount of time I spend here, I should be paying him rent. She may be right. I have sarcastically offered to help behind the counter if necessary, though I am not sure I’d be anyone’s ďŹ rst choice in a customer service industry. It was a few months ago, when the store was really full and they were understaffed, I literally heeded Joel’s call when he asked me to pitch in. The phone was ringing off the hook and high school seniors with limited school hours because of ďŹ nals had ooded the store. People were waiting for custom salads while others just wanted a bagel – but either way, the place was hopping. My work done for the day and my salad bowl empty, I was ready to pack it in.

Goodbye Columbus?

CONTINUED FROM P. A11 This is why Columbus Day has lost favor in certain quarters as being politically incorrect. A lot of people of color justiďŹ ably ďŹ nd the fuss over Columbus to not be their party and a lot of white folks have decided to feel guilty for the sins some of our ancestors committed centuries ago, even though

we ourselves had nothing whatsoever to do with it and as a consequence fall over themselves apologizing for their background and their heritage (which used to be called “Western Civilization.�). There needs to be a middle ground. America is still the greatest country and the greatest idea of a country ever in-

vented by man. We are the source of so much good for humanity and what much of the world aspires to be. While a lot of bad happened in the creation of the Americas, a lot of really good good has come of it for most and it is the ultimate good that needs to be celebrated on Monday, notwithstanding how we got here.

What to do with all those Pumpkins? CONTINUED FROM P. B1

should carve only under adult supervision. Never hold the knife in a stabbing position. When carving, keep a portion of the knife blade in the pumpkin and use slow, steady saw strokes. Cut the lid at an angle so the outside diameter is larger than the inside. This prevents the top from falling into the pumpkin when it shrinks. Scoop out the seeds and stringy esh with a large spoon or an ice cream scooper. Carve the facial features closest to the center ďŹ rst and work outward. Cut out the larger features in sections. Use an X-Acto knife for the ďŹ ner details and the tip of a potato peeler to make small circles and curves. Remove carved portions by gently pushing them into or

out of the pumpkin. š Reattach a section that is accidentally removed by using a toothpick to pin it back in place. š Make design holes large enough to provide adequate ventilation for the candle. š Flatten a spot in the base of the pumpkin for the candle but avoid digging too deep because the pumpkin becomes prone to rot. After you’re ďŹ nished creating the scary specimen, it is time to light it up with a tealight candle for the whole neighborhood to admire. Be sure that the ame is not too close to the top of the pumpkin, and coat the cut surfaces with petroleum jelly or vegetable oil to preserve it. If that sounds like it is too time-consuming for your busy lifestyle, you can paint the pumpkin instead of carving it up. Make sure you select a pump-

kin with as smooth a surface as possible. Coat it with multipurpose sealer before the paintjob begins. This will prolong the life of your creation. After applying the sealer, the first step is to draw the design on the pumpkin with a Sharpie or a dry-erase marker. Then, with a soft, wide brush paint the large areas of the pumpkin first. Apply several coats if necessary to ensure an even look. Wait for the initial paint to completely dry, and then begin painting the details. A thinner brush would be useful for more intricate additions. Paint the stem with glue and pour glitter over it and shake off the excess to create a sparkling stem. You can attach rhinestones, beads, buttons or any other small accessory with a hot glue gun. You can even use the hot glue to attach hats or animal ears made out of cardboard or a sturdy fabric.

Tasty Apple Tips and Recipes

Directions: 1. Quarter your apples (no need to remove peel or seeds). 2. In a large stock pot add your apples and fill with water--just enough to cover the apples. 3. Add your sugar. 4. Wrap your cinnamon and allspice in a doubled up cheese cloth and tie, and add this to the apples and water. 5. Boil on high for one hour (uncovered) checking on it frequently. 6. Turn down heat and let simmer for two hours (covered). 7. Take off the heat after two hours of simmering and let cool. 8. Remove spices and mash up the apples to a pulp like consistency (a potato masher works well for this). 9. Once cool pour into a strainer over a large bowl. When most of the juice has drained away, put the remainder of the pulp into a doubled up cheese cloth and squeeze over the bowl until no more juice comes out. 10. (At this point you can either restrain the juice to get out the little bits of pulp that remain with a cheese cloth draped inside the strainer to catch them or just leave it like I do). 11. You can store in an air tight container in your refrigerator for up to a week or you can freeze it for later use if you like. 12. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove and enjoy either plain or you can add caramel syrup or caramels, whipped topping with cinnamon.
