Port H.S. changes tradition

HARBORFEST RAIN OUT

Graduates to wear gender neutral gown B y S arah M inke w icz Paul D. Schreiber High School is changing tradition and for the first time will allow graduating seniors to wear gender neutral gowns.

Kathleen Mooney, superintendent of Port Washington School District, said the decision came following requests and input from the students themselves.

The tradition at Schreiber High School had been for females to wear white gowns and males to wear blue gowns.

In an effort to keep the blue and white colors, Schreiber High School students were asked to vote for either blue gowns with white stoles or white gowns with blue stoles.

A total of 162 seniors voted – 88 votes for the blue gown with white stole and 74 votes for the white gown with blue stole.

Mooney said the decision for students to receive their diplomas later this month wearContinued on Page 48

DeMartin drops out of Assembly race Questions Democratic Party choice, criticizes N. Hempstead administration B y J oe N ikic Former Town of North Hempstead Public Safety Commissioner Andrew DeMartin bowed out of the race for outgoing Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel’s 16th Assembly District seat on Monday, but he didn’t do

so quietly.

In a sit-down interview with Blank Slate Media, DeMartin questioned the motives of the Democratic Party in selecting Anthony D’Urso as its candidate for the seat and slammed the town’s administration for how it operates.

“It’s unfortunate that the misguided and self-serving priorities of party politics would be the catalyst for the Democratic Party’s endorsement of a candidate

who has been out of civic life for over 20 years,” he said. “The residents of the 16th Assembly District are deserving of representation in Albany that is more than just a placeholder for a twoyear term.”

DeMartin was the first candidate to step forward following Schimel’s announcement in January that she would not run for re-election this fall.

He began working for the town in December 2010, heading the Office of Emergency

Management, town security, harbor security, code enforcement, parking enforcement, animal control and the Port Washington parking district.

DeMartin resigned from his post in February to focus on his run for the Assembly seat.

On May 25, the Nassau Democratic Committee formally nominated D’Urso for the seat at its convention.

D’Urso, 76, of Port Washington, served as North Hempstead Continued on Page 57

Rainy weather doesn’t Village enforces dampen Talent Show code on Port Biz Residents perform at HarborFest despite storm

Company found operating in parking lot

B y S arah M inke w icz

Despite poor weather during Port Washington’s 26th Annual HarborFest celebration, residents were still able to sing, dance and showcase their talents.

The festival, scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 5 at the Town Dock, Baxter Pond and Lower Main Street in Port Washington, closed after a few hours, but not before residents got the chance to perform.

“We were thrilled that we got through 100 percent of the talent portion,” Talent Fun Show emcee Stephanie Hall said.

For more than 10 years Fredda Meltzer’s kindergarten class at Manorhaven Elementary School has opened the Family Fun Stage at HarborFest by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by singing “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “America the Beautiful” a cappella, and this year was no different.

“Despite the weather being so unpredictable on Harborfest morning most of my students arrived early and excited about singing on the stage,” Meltzer said.

“They did a great job,” Hall said. “They were so cute with their little flags.”

Port Washington students Hannah Ericsson and Sophia Schleibeler opened the talent show portion of the event at 10 a.m. by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Other students who performed during the talent show included Ella Rowe, Isabelle Kitay, Juliana Urcan-Delgado, Kylie Urcan, Violet Lichtenstein, Tyga Weber, Payton Stevens, Emory Franco, Riley Duffy, Ella Osher, Rachel Oxenhorn, Abby Spring, Olivia Tesman, Alexandra Verkowitz, Rachel Braunschweiger, Ashley Gargani, Sarah

Port Washington North trustees expressed concerns last Wednesday after learning that a landscaping company has been operating out of storage containers in a parking lot owned by Safavieh Home Furnishings.

“There’s the four storage containers that are not being used for storage, some might be used for storage, but they’re being used as a base of operation for the Laurel Group, which include maintenance, compressors to power the equipment,” Building Superintendent Robert Bartbach said at a village board meeting.

“I can’t believe this,” Mayor Robert Weitzner said, laughing.

Kevin Yaraghi, human resources manager at Safavieh, told trustees the furniture store at 2 Channel Drive was leasing the parking in the back of the building lot to the Laurel Group.

Yaraghi said he believed the Laurel Group was using the containers for storage and was unaware that the Laurel Group was conducting business there.

The Laurel Group, he said, had leased the space from the

“The kids had an awesome time,” Hall said. “You should have seen them high-fiving and jumping around after they got off the stage.”

Hall said that although the weather wasn’t great there remained a steady audience of 30 people throughout the performances.

“If it started to rain people ran away and went under the tents,” she said.

Hall said there was an issue with the electricity, but it still didn’t stop the kids from performing.

“Because of the rain and water coming down we had to shut

previous building owners of the building at 2 Channel Drive.

“They did do our snow plowing, for our facilities so we wanted to carry out our part of the agreement for the remainder of the year,” he said.

The Laurel Group officials declined to comment on Monday.

Yaraghi said he was told the equipment and trucks would be out by Memorial Day weekend and if the vehicles were not out he would contact authorities to have the vehicles towed.

“I just don’t want you think you know we’re putting it on the back burner and you know not addressing it,” Yaraghi said. “The reality is I have done just about everything I possibly can in my power to address it.”

Weitzner said he was concerned residents would see the parking lot filled with landscaping supplies and think the village “wasn’t doing their job.”

“This is basically open, people can see through and I’m sure they can see what’s in there and it’s going to look like we’re running a second grade operation back there. It’s going to cause trouble,” he said.

“But allowing your business Continued on Page 57

off the music,” she said. “The kids went out there and sang a cappella and sang their hearts out holding umbrellas.”

HarborFest, which is presented by the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, had to close around 11:30 a.m. due to the rain and wind.

“Everyone was disappointed that we had to close early. So many people worked very hard,” said Bobbie Polay, executive director of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce.

“In 26 year’s we’ve been very lucky, this year not so much,” she added.

Polay said they were still able to hold this year’s model boat regatta, which she said, had more children attending than in Landscaping supplies at the parking lot at 2 Channel Drive in Port Continued on Page 56 Washington

Port resident turns loss into gain

After son’s sudden death, Ken Kraft focuses energy on improving Manorhaven village B y S arah M inke w icz Motivated in part by the death of his youngest son, Ken Kraft turned his attention toward the Village of Manorhaven.

“I channeled a lot of my sorrow into positive energy,” said Kraft, whose son Tommy died in a motorcycle accident last December at the age of 22.

“My kids mean everything to me,” he added. “When my son had the accident I basically went into the back room and just started writing ideas just to keep my mind going.”

Kraft grew up in Manorhaven, moved to Glen Head to raise a family, and In April 2015, moved back to Manorhaven with his wife, Patti, and their four children to renovate a two-family home they have owned for 34 years.

Kraft, a retired Nassau County police officer, is now running for village trustee.

Our Best Tips for Traveling with Hearing Loss

Before You Go:

Visit your audiologist • Have your hearing aids cleaned and checked to make sure they're working properly. Have your ears examined for wax as well.

• Ask about assistive listening devices like a vibrating alarm and Bluetooth® wireless connections.

Packing • Be sure to bring extra hearing aid batteries, wax traps and cleaning kit.

• Bring a dehumidifier if you can, especially when traveling to hot, humid, or tropical areas.

• Pack an outlet converter if you use rechargeable batteries.

Reservations • Ask about better-hearing accommodations or ADA compliance kits; many hotels provide accommodations such as closed-caption TVs and T-coil loops.

• Sign up for text or email alerts after booking to keep informed of departure times and changes.

On Your Way: • Keep your phone on vibrate so you won’t miss alerts.

• Tell a fellow traveler or staff member about your hearing loss. They can help ensure you don’t miss changes in itinerary or boarding times.

• When flying, you typically don't need to remove your hearing technology.

• If there are no visuals for stops on your bus or train, ask your neighbor to alert you when your stop is coming up.

You’ve Arrived!

• On tours, ask the speaker to use the transmitter microphone which communicates with your hearing aids.

• At hotels, remind the front desk that you have a hearing impairment, in case of emergency.

napp, a retired Pan American Airways employee in sales and marketing; and incumbent Trustee Priscilla von Roeschlaub.

Candidates running for mayor include Trustee James Avena and former Mayor Gary Pagano, who served from 1992 to 1998.

Mayor Giovanna Giunta and Trustee Kevin Gately are not running for re-election.

The village of Manorhaven will hold elections on June 21 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Village Hall.

Kraft said if elected he would like to create a “workable village board,” which he said has been lacking.

“It’s been like a gridlock, nothing can get done,” Kraft said. “And the only people that suffer are the people in the village.’’

Since October 2015, Kraft said, he has formulated more than 13 proposals that were forwarded to village officials. The proposals include suggestions for part-time code enforcement officers, parking, better care of the Dog Preserve Property, and changes to the garbage and recyclable schedule.

Kraft said the main issues in the village include protecting waterfront properties and addressing current parking problems throughout the village during the winter and summer.

He said he is running for trustee with hopes of improving code enforcement, parking conditions and the roads as well as what he called the unacceptable condition of the village’s preserve.

“Parking has been a nightmare down there,’’ he said. “We have alternate side parking, it’s a nightmare in the winter and in the summer it’s not too great either.”

Kraft said he recently joined, along with other concerned residents, to request a six-month building moratorium, which was approved by the village board on April 21, 2016.

The moratorium is to halt development on the waterfront properties in Manorhaven until a study can be conducted.

Although Kraft is running by himself, he said he doesn’t think that will have an effect on his chances.

Schools sued for denying record access

B y N oah M anskar The Manhasset School District gave an illegitimate reason for denying access to public records it is legally required to provide, according to a lawsuit an opengovernment group filed Tuesday.

The district is one of three government organizations that are “the three worst actors” of about 50 that did not complete or comply with Reclaim New York’s requests for spending and contract records under the state Freedom of Information Law, attorney Dennis Saffran said Tuesday at a press conference in Mineola.

“Whether these denials are the product of ignorance, incompetence or a blatant disregard for law does not matter,” Brandon Muir, executive director of Reclaim New York, said. “All taxpayer-funded entities and public officials need to know that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”

The lawsuit filed in Nassau County Supreme Court asks a judge to order the Town of Oyster Bay and the Manhasset and Elmont school districts to produce records and asserts that they either ignored or wrongly denied the nonprofit group’s requests.

Reclaim New York filed re-

quests with 253 Long Island towns, villages and school districts earlier this year for its New York Transparency Project, which aims to create a searchable online database of all public spending in the state, Muir said.

About 80 percent complied and provided the records, but 47 did not complete or comply with the requests as of Wednesday, Reclaim New York spokesman Doug Kellogg said.

In a statement, Oyster Bay spokeswoman Marta Kane denied the town ignored Reclaim New York’s request, as the lawsuit alleges.

The town is “working on compiling the roughly 1,400 pages of information and will notify the group of its availability as soon as possible,” Kane said.

Elmont school district Superintendent Al Harper did not return a phone call seeking comment.

The Manhasset School District’s denial of the records was based on a lack of specificity in the request and Superintendent Charles Cardillo’s claim that the district could not reasonably separate big-money contracts from smaller payments to teachers and parents that might contain pesonal information, Saffran said.

“It’s kind of the local equivalent of those rogue states that put civilians around military complexes so that the military complex won’t be bombed,” Saffran said.

“The fact is, though, it’s totally illegal.”

In an email, Cardillo said the district determined the “blanket request” for all payments to vendors was too ambiguous after consulting legal counsel and the state’s Committee on Open Government.

Because the district does not keep separate lists of large payments to contractors and smaller Continued on Page 47

Blank Slate papers take top honors at event B y N oah M anskar

The Press Club of Long Island named three Blank Slate Media newspapers among Long Island’s best at its annual Media Awards last Thursday.

The Great Neck News and the Roslyn Times were named the best and third-best weekly community newspapers, respectively, at the Press Club’s annual ceremony at the Woodbury Country Club.

The Manhasset Times won second place in the Best Headline category for

the November 2015 article “From addiction, a business is born,” about two recovering drug addicts who started their own clothing company.

“I am very proud of our dedicated — and talented — staff for everything that went into earning these honors,” Blank Slate Media Publisher Steven Blank said in a statement.

Judy Epstein won second place for humor writing for her column “A Look on the Lighter Side,” which runs in all six Blank Slate Media newspapers.

Treat Your Feet …and your body!

Her entry titled “Bin Laden’s Un-Common App,” published May 28, 2015, lists humorous “excerpts” from an application form for the Al Qaeda terrorist group that the U.S. government released last year.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by my colleagues,” said Epstein, whose column has appeared in various newspapers since 1997.

This was the first time Blank Slate Media entered the Media Awards contest.

The Press Club of Long Island, a chapter of the Society for Professional Journalists,

gave out hundreds of honors to print and broadcast outlets and inducted longtime Associated Press correspondent Frank Eltman and former Newsday columnist Les Payne into its Long Island Journalism Hall of Fame.

“From our hall of fame inductions to giving out prestigious awards to deserving professionals and students, this is the highlight of our year, and we congratulate all the winners,” Press Club President Chris R. Vaccaro said in a news release.

Concetta Terry leaves post at town Wife of embattled ex party leader steps down after being cited for ethics violations B y J oe N ikic The wife of former North Hempstead Democratic party leader Gerard Terry resigned from her town post Friday after she was cited by the town’s ethics board for failing to disclose her debts.

Concetta Terry, the Town of North Hempstead deputy clerk, violated the town’s ethics code by omitting debts from four financial disclosure filings, the town’s Board of Ethics ruled earlier this month.

The town board approved her resignation at its meeting Tuesday night.

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth declined to comment on Terry’s resignation.

The ethics board found “reasonable cause to believe” Terry, the wife of embattled former North Hempstead Democratic Committee Chairman Gerard Terry, did not list debts on financial disclosure forms in 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2013, according

to a memo Town Attorney Elizabeth Botwin sent to the Town Council on May 12.

Terry specifically failed to disclose debts over the $5,000 disclosure threshold on her original and amended town financial disclosure forms in those four years, and “understated the category of a debt” on her second amended forms in 2012 and 2013, the memo says.

Ethics code violations are punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, but town officials have not said if she would be fined.

The ethics board made the ruling at its May 9 meeting, the memo says, two months after it started investigating her for an “alleged omission” on her filings.

The ethics board’s investigation started after a Newsday report revealed in late January that Gerard Terry carried a $1.4 million state and federal tax debt while earning more than $200,000 a year in six government jobs. He and Concetta Terry live in Roslyn Heights.

The memo indicates Con-

cetta Terry failed to disclose her own debts and did not address her husband’s, which do not appear on her financial disclosure forms dating back to 2006, town records show.

Gerard Terry was arrested April 11 and charged with one felony count of state tax fraud.

Prosecutors have said more charges could be coming.

Terry was special counsel to the town and the attorney for its Board of Zoning Appeals under a legal services contract that was not renewed at the end of 2015.

He resigned as chair of the North Hempstead Democratic Committee in February.

In March, the town widened the pool of officials required to file financial disclosure forms and this year will enforce the 25-year-old requirement that leaders of town political committees file them. Terry never made a filing as a town contractor or party leader.

Relatives of town employees who also hold town jobs, as well as outside contractors who “di-

rectly advise boards,” must now file disclosure reports.

The town board also approved Tuesday a job transfer for Deputy Chief of Staff Nick Guariglia to Terry’s former post as deputy town clerk.

Town Councilwoman Dina DeGiorgio was the lone board member to vote against Guariglia’s transfer, citing an increase of pay of more than $10,000.

Terry made $80,371 annually, while Guariglia will be making $91,000.

Also at the meeting, the board passed a resolution to hold a public hearing regarding the regulation of vape shops.

De Giorgio said the board had no intention of banning vape shops, but wanted to ensure proper regulations were in place.

“Our concern is not so much that we ban these shops, because we can’t, but that they’re located in proper places and that their placement be regulated much in the same way that we regulate restaurants or bars or

other kinds of establishments where people consume alcohol or something like that,” she said.

De Giorgio said she had been working with the town attorney’s office to draft legislation.

She said some of the regulations the board was considering would require applicants to go to the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals for a conditional-use permit to operate a vape shop and to require the shops to be certain distances from schools, playgrounds and residential neighborhoods.

De Giorgio also said the board was looking into regulating what types of advertisements vape shops can use as some can be appealing to children.

“E-cigarettes and vaping products and things like that are only allowed to be sold to adults, you can’t be a minor, but some of these shops and retailers are using advertising that would be sort of encouraging children to use e-cigarettes and vaping products,” she said.

Ex Suffolk majority leader backs Kaiman B y N oah M anskar Third Congressional District candidate Jon Kaiman won his first major Suffolk County endorsement Thursday from Jon Cooper, the former Democratic majority leader of the Suffolk Legislature.

“He’s the most progressive candidate and the one we can count on to fight for social justice and human dignity in Washington,” Cooper said in a statement.

Cooper determined Kaiman is best equipped to push for federal infrastructure funding, increase workforce protections and “bring middle class jobs to Long Island” after talking with all the candidates, he said in a statement.

Cooper and Kaiman met with supporters Thursday at Munday’s restaurant in Huntington as the former North Hempstead town supervisor runs against four other Democrats in the North Shore district stretching from Whitestone, Queens, to Kings Park, Suffolk.

“From standing up for LGBT rights, Planned Parenthood and our teachers, to helping our seniors age in place and fighting climate change, I look forward to working with Jon Cooper throughout our district and for our country,” Kaiman said in a statement.

Cooper was among more than a dozen Democrats considering a run to replace U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, who announced in January that he would not run for a ninth term in the House.

In backing Kaiman, he breaks with other current and former Suffolk lawmakers — including Israel and County Executive Steve Bellone — who have endorsed Legislator Steve Stern, the only candidate from outside Nassau County.

In a statement, campaign manager Joe Diver touted Stern’s backing from Israel and the Huntington Town Democratic Committee, the only local political committee to make an endorsement in the race so far, as proof of his “proven progressive record of fighting for our values.”

“Stern has consistently fought to protect a woman’s right to choose, clean up the Long Island Sound and make college more affordable, and he’s the best choice to continue Rep. Steve Israel’s exceptional legacy,” Diver said.

Kaiman will face Stern, Jericho attorney Jonathan Clarke, North Hempstead Councilwoman Anna Kaplan and former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi in the June 28 primary. The winner will take on Republican state Sen. Jack Martins in November.

Conservatives back Phillips in Senate race B y J oe N ikic Elaine Phillips, the Republican candidate for the state Senate’s 7th District seat, announced last Thursday that she had received the Conservative Party’s nomination for the race.

“I would like to thank the Conservative Party for nominating me to run on their ballot line in November,” Phillips said in a statement.

She announced May 19 that she will run for state Sen. Jack Martins’ 7th district seat after she was nominated by the Nassau County Republican Party.

Martins filed FEC papers in January to create a campaign committee to run for the 3rd Congressional district’s seat just two days after U.S. Rep. Steve Israel announced he would step down at the end of his term in November.

The Old Westbury resident and former Mineola mayor had been consider-

ing a congressional run for several months and began discussing it more seriously after Israel’s announcement, campaign strategist E. O’Brien Murray said.

Phillips was elected to a third term as mayor of Flower Hill in March.

Democrat Adam Haber announced in February he was stepping down from the Nassau Interim Finance Authority board to make a second bid for the state Senate’s 7th District seat.

The Conservative Party has played a key role in elections in the past.

In November, four of the Surrogate and County Court races were decided by which candidate received more votes on the Conservative line.

In the Surrogate Court race, Republican Margaret C. Reilly defeated Democratic candidate Angela G. Iannacci with about 52 percent of the votes.

Iannacci received more votes on the Democratic line, 83,420, than Reilly received on the Re-

Flower Hill Mayor Elaine Phillips publican line, 78,213.

But Reilly, who also ran on the Independence and Reform party lines, received 15,563 votes on the Conservative line — enough to offset Iannacci’s lead and win the race.

Iannacci also ran on the Working Families, Green and Women’s Equality party lines, but did not

receive enough support on those lines to combat the Conservative Party’s strong turnout.

The race for three seats on the County Court bench showed similar outcomes.

The three Democratic candidates — Tammy S. Robbins, Steven M. Jaeger and N. Scott Banks

— got more votes on the Democratic line, receiving 82,960, 83,009 and 78,956 votes, respectively.

But they lost the race to Robert G. Bogle, Felice J. Muraca and Howard E. Sturim, who received 77,283, 76,018 and 76,202 on the Republican line, respectively.

Bogle, Muraca and Sturim each received about 16,500 votes on the Conservative line — enough to make up the difference with the three Democrats, who were also running on the Working Families, Green and Women’s Equality lines.

Efforts to reach Nassau County Republican Party Chairman Joe Mondello and Nassau County Conservative Party Chairman Daniel F. Donovan, Jr. were unavailing.

State Senate Democratic spokesman Michael Murphy criticized the Conservative Party’s nomination.

“The Conservative Party is the party that has wholeheartedly sup-

ported Donald Trump and his extremist and dangerous views,” Murphy said.

“They have supported the corrupt Republican machine of Dean Skelos and have been against all smart reforms to clean up Albany.”

“They are the party that wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and wants to take away rights from women,” he added. “Anyone that accepts their support disqualifies themselves from office.”

Since losing to Martins in 2014, Haber, an East Hills restaurateur and former bond trader, said he has developed greater name recognition from his work on the NIFA board and as a Roslyn school trustee, which would give him an advantage in the race.

Nassau Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs also said that name recognition would benefit Haber in the race.

“Familiarity with the voters is an important advantage,” Jacobs said.

Thank you, Jim Avena and the Dejana Family Foundation!

The Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation Ride For Research Bike Tour has become more successful each year. But, without the continued support of The Peter & Jeri Dejana Family Foundation and its Grant Administrator and Bike Tour committee member Jim Avena in particular, the event and the Foundation’s cancer research grants their donations help fund would not be nearly as strong.

Back victims of child sex abuse

t is hard to believe that in 2016 New York State law still prohibits victims of child sex abuse from bringing criminal charges or civil claims against abusers after their 23 birthday.

The trauma of a child sexually abused by an adult, usually one in a position of authority, can last for decades and coming forward to seek justice is often a gut-wrenching decision.

To then deny the victims — children assaulted by adults — the chance for justice is unimaginably cruel.

North Shore residents were recently reminded of this when the Catholic order that runs Chaminade High School suspended its former president from serving as a priest after finding allegations that he sexually abused a former student “were credible.”

The current Chaminade president, Brother Thomas Cleary, said the prestigious Mineola parochial school did not learn about the alleged abuse in 2011 until February 2015.

The good news is that the state Assembly is working on legislation to eliminate or significantly extend New York’s statute of limitations for child abuse cases.

Gov. Cuomo has said he would like to see a bill passed by the end of the legislative session that eliminates the statute of limitations pertaining to criminal cases and extends it for civil cases. He said he is also open to a one-year window to revive old cases.

The bad news is that legislative session ends June 16, agreement among the Democraticcontrolled Assembly is not a sure thing and Senate Republicans,

who are led by the Long Island delegation, have opposed eliminating the statue of limitations. They have argued that it could spur a spate of frivolous and difficult-to-prove lawsuits.

This is nonsense.

California saw about five false claims out of 850 against the Catholic Church — about 2 percent.

Are the legislators really going to protect hundreds of sexual predators, preying on children, because one or two people might be falsely accused?

False reporting happens in every category of crime. Why single out sexual assaults against children?

What next, decriminalize rape and murder because of fear of false claims?

Sadly, the Catholic Church has led the opposition to eliminating the statute of limitations for criminal cases, extending it for civil cases and permitting a one-year window to revive old cases.

The Catholic Conference spent more than $2.1 million on lobbying from 2007 through the end of 2015, hiring some of the top lobbying firms in Albany, according to a report in the Daily News. And that, the News reported, does not include the conference’s own internal lobbying team.

The Catholic Church, which has already paid out more than $2 billion to abuse survivors and their families in the United States, has been joined by some Orthodox Jewish groups and other private groups in opposition to a proposal to eliminate the time limit that prohibits adults who were victimized as children from bringing civil cases after their 23rd birthday.

It is hard to believe religious groups — especially the Catholic Church, with its history of abuse by priests — would lead a campaign against legislation that would help give justice to victims of horrendous crimes.

We hope the prospect of additional payments to victims and bad

publicity is not a reason in their opposition. But if not that, what?

Pope Francis announced last week that bishops who fail to report cases of sex abuse of children and vulnerable adults could be removed from office.

The move was a step in the right direction for a church that has

been criticized for not holding bishops accountable for failing to act in cases of clerical sex abuse.

We hope the religious groups and legislators in New York opposing the proposed legislation take the pope’s lead and begin thinking more about the victims of sexual assault than their abusers.

Vets who make it home suffer, too

I

n reference to your coverage of Memorial Day, “Great Neck Remembers the Fallen,” I wonder why no one ever talks about the problems our surviving veterans deal with.

Remember the scandal of the poor care veterans receive at VA Hospitals? The months they have to wait just to get an appointment? Even though the VA has a new boss, little has changed.

Recently, “60 Minutes” did a story about how the VA declares veterans dead and cuts off their benefit checks — even though they’re still alive!

According to a recent study, 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have PTSD or depression. Some 50 percent of those with PTSD don’t

seek treatment and the half that does seek treatment gets “minimally adequate” care.

Over 260,000 veterans have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and recent studies show that as many as 22 veterans commit suicide every day.

So before we give ourselves a pat on the back for “Remembering the Fallen,” let’s admit that our country does a lousy job of caring for our wounded vets, whether their wounds are physical or mental.

This is a disgrace that all the fancy speeches by politicians on Memorial Day can’t erase.

The season of corruption in N.Y.

H

ave you noticed that just about every day there’s a headline regarding corruption probes of state and municipal officials and projects?

In Albany, not only are former long-time aides to Governor Cuomo being investigated by the feds, his signature initiative, the Buffalo billion dollar solar plant project, is under siege.

Amidst allegations of contract rigging, subpoenas have been served on Cuomo’s office demanding records and communications with at least 20 companies involved with the state-supported Buffalo economic project and other initiatives in Syracuse and Albany.

Records of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute and the Empire State Development Corporation — both of which have been involved with government sponsored technology projects — have also been subpoenaed.

To add to the madness, the state’s Public Authorities Board, instead of waiting until the U.S. Attorney’s probe was completed, approved in late May the issuance

of $500 million in bonded debt to fund the Buffalo solar panel company. This could be another Solyndra in the making.

In New York City, investigations led by the Manhattan District Attorney and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District have been rattling the de Blasio Administration.

There’s the investigation into the political fundraising antics of Mayor de Blasio and his cronies.

Investigators are examining if campaign contribution limits were circumvented in 2014 to support upstate Democratic state senate candidates.

Then there’s the inquiry to determine if contributors to nonprofits controlled by the mayor’s allies received special treatment from the city government.

In a desperate move to shield communication between the mayor and his “shadow government”— political consultants and non-profit executives — de Blasio declared them “Agents of the City.”

Condemning this Nixonian ploy, Citizens Union Chief, Richard Dadey said, “This is part of an

George J. Marlin On The Right increasing pattern of the mayor to parse legal definitions that result in the mayor being less transparent and accountable.”

It was revealed in early June that the federal investigation into activities of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office has been expanded.

Is there hope for the laundry-hampered ?

I

hate doing laundry. Every time I take something out of the dryer, I get depressed: there’s the same tomato sauce, the same coffee, the very same grease spot as when it went in.

In fact, everything is still there ... except, sometimes, some of the original dye. That, I manage to wash away.

In fact, my total incompetence at laundry has affected the shape of my life.

Years ago, at work, I perfected the maneuver of leaping backwards out of my seat, flying from the path of the coffee I’d upset on my desk.

In restaurants, I ordered whatever matched the color I was wearing.

I would swathe myself in napkins, neck to knee, and hope for the best.

“Does the sauce have tomatoes?” I would ask the waiter.

“Oh, are you allergic?”

“Yes… to doing laundry,” I’d reply.

I gave up red wine, then chocolate ice cream. I bought a dirt-colored suit. In fact, no aspect of my life went unaffected

by a morbid fear of stains.

Except for my wedding.

There I was, all in white for the first — and only — time in my life, in the most expensive dress I’ll ever own.

But I decided to eat and drink with abandon, letting the chips — and dips — fall where they may. After all, when would I wear that dress again?

And wouldn’t you know, nothing happened to that gown!

I should have learned from this. But no.

Not even motherhood, that crucible of so much other change in my life, made a dent in my laundry phobia. It just meant that I had two sets of clothing to protect now — my own, and my children’s.

It started even before the first baby arrived.

For some reason, everyone’s advice included, “Wash all the baby clothes.” Right away. Before the baby was ever in them.

“Why?” I argued. I knew that once those adorable outfits came under my hand, they’d be ruined.

Was it selfish to want my child to have a few, fleeting mo-

Judy epstein

A Look on the Lighter Side ments of glory?

Because sure enough, as soon as I washed them, those baby things never did look the same.

I would treat the clothes with spot remover — pausing only briefly to whip them off the baby first — but still, forever after, you could see the dull yellowed outline of every sweet potato or carrot spill.

Eventually, rather than get upset, I just used old dingy clothes, saving the “good” ones for special occasions…only to find them outgrown, before the

special occasion ever arrived.

In fact, one of my lowest points as a mother is connected with laundry. It was the first time my baby got really sick.

I was holding him, wondering why he was so fussy, when suddenly, coming back up at me was his breakfast.

I would like to say that my first impulse was to hold him close ... but it wasn’t. Instinctively, I knew this for a laundry emergency, and I held him as far away from myself as I could.

I hoped at least to save my own shirt. I failed, of course.

That’s when my husband asked me, “Judy, is clean laundry the most important thing in your life?”

“Well, of course not, when you put it that way.”

But I still wasn’t liberated.

It took another child to do that.

And another mother.

I was helping a friend run a playdate, when suddenly the kids ran over to hug me, their hands covered in ketchup.

I was all for throwing that shirt away, but my friend insisted that she could get it clean.

“How did you do it?” I

asked, over and over. “I can’t get anything out, no matter how hot the water.”

“You’re kidding, right? You know that hot water only sets the stain, don’t you?”

“Um, now I do,” I replied.

Here might be the clue to my laundry problems, I knew.

But I think a better answer is just to somehow convince my friend to do my laundry. Because that’s the only way my laundry will ever really get clean.

3rd track plan would hurt, not help, L.I.

A

$2.2 billion project to build a LIRR third track expansion in three to four years is unrealistic. It’s likely commuters will have headaches for 10 years.

The bait-and-switch tactic of the LIRR’s “good idea” of eliminating seven at-grade crossings isn’t going to overshadow the truth of the matter.

The seven at-grade crossing construction sites and the construction work that will take place in-between along the Main Line will only increase delays, cancellations, timetable changes, traffic nightmares, parking headaches and more for commuters.

It’s likely buses will be needed to leap frog construction areas to get commuters from one station to

another.

LIRR service is deplorable now in both bad weather and good.

New switch technologies aren’t even being explored to handle the supposed current track congestion.

The new track will cross Nassau County, giving commuters nothing to cheer about.

The profiteers are the “freight minded” businesspeople in Suffolk

County, from where products will be transported and both the LIRR and franchisee NY & Atlantic Railway will make more money.

Freight cars pulled by two to six dirty diesel engines will transport garbage, hazardous waste and heavy materials to points west.

More freight trains will rumble through the Main Line communities day and night during “off peak”

hours.

Once completed the third track trains will not even stop in most Main Line communities.

I thought the LIRR was supposed to be a passenger train service?

MTA 5-year-plan a year late and $7.3B short

R

ecent approval of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority $27 billion 2015-2019 FiveYear Capital Plan by the Albany MTA Capital Program Review Board is nothing to be proud of.

It was one year and five months late.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo continues to never give any specifics of how he will come up with $7.3 of the $8.3 billion promised to meet the shortfall the 2015-2019 MTA Five Year Capital Plan.

The same is true for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his promised $2.5 billion.

The original proposed previous 2010-2014 MTA $29 billion Five-Year Capital Plan was cut to $24.2 billion before being approved.

This doesn’t include the balance of $7.3 billion of the $8.3 billion more pledged by Cuomo and $2.5 billion by New York Mayor de Blasio to help cover shortfalls in the MTA’s proposed $27 billion 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Plan (cut from the origi-

nal $32 billion).

The original proposed 2015-2019 MTA $32 billion Five-Year Capital Plan in September 2014 was rejected by the New York State MTA Capital Program Review Board.

In October 2015, a revised $28 billion 2015 - 2019 MTA Five Year Capital Plan was approved by the MTA Board. In April 2016, it was revised again to $27 billion.

How can the MTA justify cutting $8 billion in badly needed capital improvements over a ten year period and still provide the day to day services millions of New Yorkers count on?

How many critical capital improvement projects will be postponed into the next 2020 - 2024 Capital Program?

The next 2020-2024 MTA Five-Year Capital Program will first have to deal with $8 billion in unfunded carryover projects and programs going back 10 years.

By waiting all these years, the costs will have gone up by another billion or two.

Next, many other new worthy capital projects that will be competing against each other including the Long Island Rail Road controversial Main Line Third Track for funding out of the next MTA Five-Year 20202024 Capital Plan.

This could include, but not limited to the 2nd Avenue Subway Phase 2 ($5.5 to $6 billion); Long Island Rail Road Main Line Third Track ($1.5 billion); Metro North West Bronx Penn Station Access ($200 million), Staten Island North Shore Bus Rapid Transit ($600 million); Staten Island West Shore Bus Rapid Transit ($1.5 billion); restoration of LIRR service on the old Queens Rockaway Beach LIRR branch ($1 billion); Triboro X Subway Express (new subway line connecting the Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn for $2 billion); Main Street Flushing Queens Intermodal Bus Terminal ($100 million); reopening the Woodhaven Blvd Atlantic Branch LIRR Station ($40 million); Brooklyn-Queens Waterfront Street Car Connec-

tor (connecting various neighborhoods along the waterfront from Sunset Park, Brooklyn to Astoria, Queens ($2.5 billion); Queens Woodhaven Blvd. Bus Rapid Transit ($400 million); Rockland-Westchester Tappan Zee Bridge Bus Rapid Transit (which would feed into the Metro North Hudson Line Tarrytown Station $200 million) and Western Queens Montauk Branch Light Rail (between Glendale and Long Island City on the old Montauk LIRR branch - $100 million) just to name a few.

Don’t forget future electrification of LIRR service on the Port Jefferson branch from Huntington to Port Jefferson ($360 million), on the Montauk line from Babylon to Speonk ($360 million), on the Ronkonkoma line from Ronkonkoma to Yaphank ($120 million) and Oyster Bay to Mineola ($120 million) is needed.

All four combined could easily cost almost $1 billion.

This does not include several hundred million for a new

storage yard on the Port Jefferson Yard to support electric multiple unit MU cars.

All would provide a one seat ride for upcoming Eastside Access service to Grand Central Terminal in 2023 making the LIRR more attractive to current and future new riders.

Cuomo, the state Legislature and de Blasio continue to just kick the can down the road.

They remind me of the character Wimpy who famously said “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

When the bills become due, taxpayers will be stuck with Cuomo and de Blasio’s tabs.

Why would the next governor or mayor want to pay for any of Cuomo or de Blasio’s bills?

Trump is what U.S. needs: a Christian, nationalist

D

onald Trump is a Christian, and a nationalist.

Those in control in our country are antiChristian internationalists.

Hence the media, a wholly owned arm of those in control, is being used to do everything it can to prevent his election.

The globalists understand that should Trump walk in the

door of the White House as our next President, their plans for reducing the U.S to just another colony in their global plantation will be set back by 25 years, or more.

This panics them. Hence the media attacks on Trump.

Those in control see him as the most serious threat to their plans since President Kennedy,

For the latest news, visit us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.theislandnow.com

and look what they did to him.

Don’t rule out a similar solution to their “Trump problem” .

At minimum, given the threat Trump represents to the “powers that be,” we can expect that the relentless media attacks against him, augmented by continued Soros-funded demonstrations at Trump rallies by paid agitators, will continue 24/7 from now until the election, and thereafter, should Trump win, as is likely, if he’s not physically eliminated beforehand.

But whatever the outcome of the election, patriotic Americans should understand that there are irreconcilable differences

between the internationalists who see the U.S. as just another administrative district in their planned New World Order, and the rest of us.

So long as the internationalists remain in control, their machinations against us will continue.

They are in the U.S., but not of it. They are an enemy inside the gates. Traitors in our midst.

Their intent is to merge us into their atheistic NWO, forcibly if necessary.

They have no loyalty to the U.S. Unfortunately, they’re in control of our government and media, and have been for some time.

There will be continued conflict in the U.S. so long as this situation continues.

The non-stop cultural agitation by the media, and subversion of the U.S. economy by those in control, which we see daily, will continue.

There won’t be any peace or quiet until (if) the enemy is pushed out of our government, and then out of our country.

Martins goes back on word about Kings Pt. Park

K

ings Point Park is in danger again, thanks to the lying Sen. Jack Martins.

A year ago, despite the unanimous decision of the Court of Appeals in June 2014 that protected Kings Point Park from depredations by the Village of Kings Point, [state] Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel introduced a bill, AO 8133, in the waning days of the session that would allow the village to “alienate’’ a parcel of the park on Kings Point Rd. for a municipal garage.

Citizens who support parks mobilized against this with a barrage of calls to Schimel and Martins.

Martins called me and promised he

would “never” introduce a co-sponsoring bill in the Senate, that Schimel’s bill would never pass the Assembly and that he was devoted to parkland and greenery, especially in an environment of ever-growing development.

But on June 3, Martins introduced his co-sponsoring bill into the Senate, S 7999.

So what happened?

Beats me. We understand village officials escorted Martins into the park and showed him the Quonset hut on Kings Point Road that the Court of Appeals ordered removed and said that was the only part of the wooded area to be affected.

But the citizens who brought the case against the village and park commission-

ers say that’s not so. The actual area is much larger than Martins was shown.

Why does the Village of Kings Point keep wasting time and money on this?

Why can’t it simply replace its municipal garage on the property of the former Village Hall that was demolished?

More important, why did Sen. Martins break his promise?

Could it be that he’s running for Congress on the same line as Donald Trump?

You can imagine what Trump would recommend!

I urge everyone to contact Sen. Martins at his local office, 516-796-5924, or at martins@nysenate.gov The time to act is now: in the wan-

ing days of the Legislature, Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan can make just about anything happen late at night.

As Judge Eugene Pigott wrote in the Court of Appeals opinion: “A project involving the construction of a DPW facility measuring some 12,000 square feet in area, regrading, paving of access roads, destruction of numerous mature trees, and removal of hiking trails is not merely a change in the nature and scope of a road salt storage facility.’’

Let’s protect Kings Point Park before it is too late.

Legislature lags in addressing drug alternatives

B

iologic medicines currently help millions of patients suffering from serious conditions like cancer, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

New medicines called biosimilars, which attempt to mimic the therapeutic properties of the original biologics, are becoming available.

These will create new treatment options — and cost savings — for patients.

But unlike generic versions of chemical drugs, biosimilars are not exact duplicates of their innovator drugs.

Biologics are complex molecules grown within living cells, and an attempted copy can only be, as the term suggests— similar to its innovator drug, but never exactly the same.

This distinction is important, as doctors and pharmacists know, because even seemingly minor differences between two similar biologics can be the difference be-

tween helping a patient, or hurting them — sometimes severely — through unintended side effects such as unwanted immune responses.

Many states have prepared for biosimilars by passing legislation meant to ensure their safe prescribing and dispensing. More need to catch up, including New York, which has yet to adopt legislation addressing substitution of biologics at the pharmacy.

Substitution is expected to bring cost savings for patients and the health care system, but policy must reflect that biosimilars are different from generics: First, we need to ensure that only “interchangeable” biosimilars- those which the FDA has determined produce the same effects as the original product, without additional risks if a patient is switched between them — are ever substituted. While only one non-interchangeable biosimilar has been approved, FDA’s Dr. Janet Wood-

cock has predicted the approval of an interchangeable biosimilar by the end of 2016.

Even more important, we need to ensure clear and timely communication between pharmacists and physicians about the specific product received. Keeping accurate patient records and knowing what medicine patients actually receive is vital to accurately attributing adverse drug reactions, and tracking the long-term safety and efficacy of biologic medicines.

This is especially important with biosimilars, which benefit from an abbreviated approval process. It also promotes manufacturer accountability for their products.

While communication between prescribers and pharmacists around substitution might seem intuitive, many states— including New York— don’t require it.

Thus, legislatures across the country are passing laws reflecting the importance

of this communication, and of recording substitutions, when dispensing biologics.

In November of last year, our neighbors in New Jersey enacted such a law.

Legislators in Albany are now working extend these protections to New York’s patients by passing legislation that promotes transparency and communication between pharmacists, doctors and patients, so everyone knows which biologic is actually dispensed after one is prescribed.

The burden of educating legislators and urging them to act on this issue falls on the entire medical community, including pharmacists like me.

I will continue educating my colleagues, doctors and the patients we serve about the importance of this issue. I hope New York legislators and my fellow pharmacists agree, and advocate accordingly.

Ali’s greatest performances were outside ring

W

e have lost a great man in Muhammad Ali who fought many battles in and out of the ring.

He was a fighter, poet, activist and more importantly a man who care for people and tried to right what he saw was wrong.

Now whatever some us might think of his anti-Vietnam stance no one can deny that here was a man who stood up for his beliefs and risk losing everything he worked for and all for what he saw was wrong.

Now how many of us would do that ?

I remembering back in 1964 my father and myself listening to our radio while living in Queens Village, we listen to a most epic fight between than Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston.

In the end he beat the best and the rest is history. He later in the ‘60s converted and became a Muslim. For decades he suffered from Parkinson’s and has fought hard for a cure. He truly lived by his own words, “Float like a

butterfly, sting like a bee.”

As such he made people think that we need to change our thinking in relations with others. He truly walked the talk.

Now that in my opinion has made him in the greatest!

New York City is in vanguard of the future

G

eorge Marlin should take off his blinders, drive into New York City and see the vanguard of the future.

Knowledge-based businesses are expanding in number, employees (high paying, non-minimum wage jobs) and devouring rental space as soon as it comes on the market.

These businesses are not moving to Texas, Florida or

North Carolina, where Republican governors and legislatures represent the antithesis of what these businesses,’ highly educated and paid employees look for when deciding where they would like to live and work.

The proof of the pudding is that New York City’s population has been growing in recent years.

I agree that New York State tax dollars poured in to barren upstate areas is a gross mistake.

I fear that as long as upstate voters mistakenly elect and re-elect republican local office holders whose policies and approaches strongly resemble those of southern republicans (Texas, North Carolina and Florida) nothing will change. The dynamism that is New York City’s will not trickle up to these areas.

Give hearing process a chance in Haig case

I

am a parent of three children, two of whom are in the East Williston Schools and one who will be there soon enough.

I did not attend Wheatley myself, my kids are not old enough to have had Mr. Haig, and I don’t know anything more than the general public about what has been happening with him.

I am a firm believer in “innocent until proven guilty.”

I also believe issues should be resolved through the proper channels, established protocol should be followed, and, sooner or later, the truth will come out.

At this point, however, emotion seems to have taken over from reason and patience is in

short supply.

It has come to my attention that school board members, administrators and other district personnel are being harassed, taunted, threatened, and accused of wrongdoing.

People, especially adults, should think about what kind of example they are setting when they behave in this manner.

However, that is not why I am writing this letter.

I am writing because it has also come to my attention that children of school board members and other district personnel are also being harassed.

That friendships are being ended, exclusion is being prac-

ticed, and nastiness is going down in halls of Wheatley. This is wrong.

These children have done nothing, they have no idea what is going on, and they are not to be blamed for any perceived injustice perpetrated by a parent.

This is an adult matter and should be handled by adults. And for those people who don’t agree with me and have adopted a “sins of the father” rationale, they should know the targeted students are not the only ones suffering.

It is very upsetting for a child to walk down the hallway alongside a person they have known and liked since nursery school, with whom they have shared class time, bus rides, birthday parties,

bar mitzvahs and countless moments of friendship, where warm feelings have endured despite typical childhood angst and even parental conflict, and witness dirty looks, nasty snickers, and hateful comments thrown their friends’ way.

It is very upsetting for them to overhear hurtful accusations.

It is very upsetting for them to see their friends ostracized and to be pressured to participate in the ostracizing.

As adults, we all know that the mob mentality lurks in every crowd and hopping on bandwagons is often an irresistible urge.

Resist it. Wait. Watch. Listen.

The truth will come out.

I have no idea what the truth is, what revelations are to come or what is going to happen.

But I do know we owe it to our children to set a good example and to teach them that the wheels of justice sometimes churn slowly.

And we owe it to all children in this district not to tolerate bullying and harassment.

A child who has done nothing wrong does not deserve to be condemned for things they have had no part of.

If nothing else comes of this scandal, perhaps this is one good lesson that can be learned.

Martins, Schimel threaten Kings Pt. parkland

P

art of a 100-plus year old forest in Kings Point Park will be destroyed through the actions of our elected officials.

The Village of Kings Point began engaging in illegal Department of Public Works activities in Kings Point Park many years ago.

These illegal activities in Kings Point Park have included cutting down forest, poisoning the area with lead, and polluting the ground with chemicals, for which they were fined by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Then in 2009 they planned to go further and destroy 5.4 acres of parkland to build a new DPW com-

plex.

Along with the late Julian Kane, we brought a lawsuit and won a unanimous decision at the New York State Court of Appeals saving the parkland.

A few months ago, a bill was introduced by [state] Assemblywoman Schimel that would have allowed 1.5 acres to be removed from Kings Point Park.

The progress of that bill was halted when it was met with overwhelming public opposition.

Now, the mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Kings Point have succeeded in having Sen. Jack Martins and state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel sponsor new legislative bills that

will allow more than one acre of parkland to be taken from the public, approximately half of which is a 100-plus year old forest.

The forested parkland will be destroyed and a new DPW building constructed after the clear cut.

Once that is accomplished, the existing DPW facility on Sunset Road, comprising approximately two acres will be sold for private residential development.

To make up for the parkland taken, Village of Kings Point plans to establish new parkland at the lower end of Manhasset Bay. But they do not own that proposed substitute land and they plan on seizing it by eminent domain if necessary.

This is a shocking abuse of state and local government power.

Forested parkland is going to be destroyed so that existing municipal land can be freed for private residential development.

To facilitate that land swap, property owners on East Shore Road will be threatened with eminent domain proceedings if they do not agree to give up part of their property.

The bills currently before the Legislature enact loss of public parkland for the profit of private real estate developers.

In the wake of multiple convictions of New York State legislators, this apparent abuse of power to further sale of public land to private

real estate developers further undermines the faith of the citizens in the integrity of their government.

If the people of Great Neck care about their parks and the forest that remains, then I urge them to contact the offices of Sen. Martins and Assemblywoman Schimel and oppose their parkland alienation bills.

Unless our elected officials respond to your requests and agree to withdraw or amend this disturbing legislation, then part of our local forested parkland will be destroyed and lost forever.

Media giving Obama, Clinton a free pass

I

have noticed the Roslyn Times has not had any columns defending Donald Trump.

I would like to add my perspective.

Last week, I heard Mr. Fareed Zakaria, of CNN fame, speaking on Bloomberg radio.

I sent Mr. Zakaria the following letter.

To Mr. Zakaria: This morning, Mr. Zakaria, you trashed Donald Trump as a “liar.”

You went further and implied that Mr. Trump was taking our political system into an unchartered territory of deceit and this was endangering our political system.

I am an avid Donald Trump supporter.

If you are so worried about “honesty” and “deceit” in our political system, I am writing to remind you of a few things.

The impeached President Bill Clinton was the most scandal ridden liar this country has ever seen.

“I didn’t inhale.”

“I will not raise taxes on the middle class.”

“I did not have sex with that woman.”

Whitewater.

White House travel office scandal.

Firing all Justice Department lawyers and putting a stop to their investigations.

The betrayal of our warriors in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Orgies at Jeffrey Epstein’s island with underage girls.

The defamation of Anita Broderick, Catherine Willie, et al.

The Mark Rich pardon.

I could go on.

As for Hillary Clinton, the incompetent, ceremonial secretary of state.

Part and parcel of all the Bill Clinton scandals.

Plus: Thievery of white house belongings “We were under fire when we landed in Yugoslavia”

Email scandal with 30,000 deleted emails Email scandal with unsecured server open to hacking by China, Iran, or Russia.

This by the way, has endangered the lives of some of our undercover operatives.

The pardon of the cop-killing, leftist-radical, Kathy Boudin “We are going to put the coal companies out of business” and subsequently lying to an unemployed coal miner that he heard it out of context The Goldman Sachs meetings she is too ashamed to make public.

The Benghazi betrayal of our warriors (just like Bill in Mogadishu) The incredible conflict of interests and corruption with the Clinton Foundation.

Justifying the physical attacks on Donald Trump supporters at the San Jose rally.

I could go on.

President Obama

“If you like your doctor you can keep him.”

The deceit, in particular by Jonathan Gruber, to mislead the public regarding the cost and implementation of Obamacare.

Mr. Gruber called the American public “too stupid to understand the law.” Meanwhile, the only people too stupid to vote for the law were congressional Democrats (not one Republican voted for the law).

“I have Israel’s back.”

The “reset” with Vladimir Putin The “red line” with poison gas attacks with Assad.

The total withdrawal of troops from Iraq, and then, after horrible chaos, putting the troops back in.

Blocking the Department of Justice prosecution of Hillary Clinton Handcuffing our border guards so they cannot do their job.

The Benghazi attack, and the fact the commander and chief of the largest military in the world could not move one military asset over

13 hours to help our warriors. He falsely blamed an internet video.

And the worst of all, the total lying fabrication that there was a peaceful deal with Iran to stop their nuclear proliferation.

In fact, as Ben Rhodes just recently admitted, it was nothing but a “sell job” with no substance to it.

Will millions die in the future because of that “deal” and his lies?

I wonder, Mr. Zakaria, if your search for honesty and integrity ever applied to the above three.

I doubt it. I think you are a malignant liar, just like them.

I do not think you are a journalist, but instead, a scheming, political hack.

You might think you have fooled a lot of people with your smooth talk with the compliant hosts on Bloomberg radio, but there are plenty of people who see through you.

Port biz celebrates 3-year anniversary B y S arah M inke w icz

For Port Washington resident Nancy Verdi, being a business owner runs in the family.

Verdi, owner of Hummingbird Web Design, said she learned what is was like to own a business from her parents, who opened a small retail business in Huntington Village. “I watched both my parents take a risk and venture out to support four kids,� she said. “They weathered the storms of self-employment and could proudly say they built something from nothing. I witnessed first-hand their passion and dedication to succeed. I believe it was their hard work and courage that influences me to be the business owner that I am.�

After graduating with a degree in fine arts at SUNY New Paltz, Verdi worked at the Sheraton Hotel directly under the director of training and was

responsible for designing protocols. “One of the valuable things I learned at the Sheraton was to be very detail oriented,’’ she said, “and Sheraton’s whole thing was to exceed the customers’ expectations and that was one thing that I really carried through life and with my business now.�

In 1991, Verdi and her husband left their studio apartment in the city and moved to Port Washington, and she decided to take a break from working to raise her two children.

After her children went off to collage, Verdi said, she was ready to get back to work and do something creative using her artistic background. “I gravitated towards web design, which was really good because it’s kind of creative and I’m all about helping the small business owners so I really have to utilize my managing skills and my service oriented skills,� Verdi said.

Verdi decided to take web design classes at Hofstra University to bring her up to speed, and get her ready to launch her own company from home. “This type of business was kind of a no brainer for me, because I’m working from home so I didn’t have to invest a lot,� she said.

Verdi choose to name her company Hummingbird Web Designs to go along with her tag line, “helping small businesses fly.� “I choose the hummingbird, not only because I love the bird but they’re small, they’re very savvy, very much like small business owners. I always thought it was appropriate,� she said.

Three years after starting the company, which she operates from her home in the village of Port Washington North, Verdi now works with a team that includes three programmers and three web designers. She currently

has 18 clients. “Little by little I’m growing, but the most important thing is to really build that team,� she said.

Her clients from Port Washington include the Port Washington Parks Conservancy, and her company is currently redesigning the website for the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District.

Verdi said her other clients include a fundraising website, hair dresser, travel agent, pediatric optometrist and more. “They keep me very busy,� she said.

Verdi said most of her work is by referral. “Every year it seems I have about 30 percent growth,� she said.

Hummingbird Web Design’s prices are $1,600 for the basic plan, $3,000 for a large website and $4,500 for an e-commerce larger website plan. Verdi said the average time it takes to build a website is a month, depending on the

In the next few years, Verdi said she’d like to get a storefront somewhere in Port Washington and continue expanding the company.

OUR TOWN

Americana creates fun place to shop At its best, the shopping experience ought to be edifying, educational and a pleasure.

Strolling down the Champs Elysees in Paris, walking down the Via Condetti by the Spanish Steps in Rome or browsing at Harrods in London are all transcendent experiences.

Many years ago I remember being in Harrods and looking for something, anything, I might be able to afford.

As I walked from room to room I came across a scene I will never forget. A charming little five year old Chinese girl who was obviously some kind of prodigy walked up to a sparkling white grand piano on display and started playing a Bach sonata. By the time her parents realized what she was doing a crowd had gathered around her to listen.

When she finished playing, the crowd started to applaud, she was startled by this and she ran into her mother’s arms. This is the kind of experience you find when you do luxury shopping at the best places. These stores have a knack of combining art and shopping.

But you needn’t travel to Eu-

rope to find this.

Walking down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or Worth Avenue in Palm Springs and you feel the same kind of excitement and pleasure.

And closer to home we have our own version of Rodeo Drive.

It’s called Americana Manhasset and was developed by Frank Castagna way back in 1956.

His dream was to build a premier shopping destination and with the help of a world class architect he succeeded.

You will find all the high end stores including Prada, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loro Piana, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Gucci, Cartier, Burberry, Coach and now a high end sports fashion store called Bandier.

I caught up with Andrea Sanders who is the Americana Senior vice president and its creative director and asked her to explain the Americana magic.

She told me “We look to provide our customers with a sensory experience, from the beauty of the architecture to the smell of the flowers, to the warmth of the customer service….We have a wide breadth of international brands that all bring their unique

aesthetic to Americana. “ The architect of the Americana is Peter Marino, who grew up in Queens, went to school at Cornell and is now considered to be the definitive post-modern architect for luxury stores throughout the world.

He dresses in leather and he may look like a biker but has the

Dr. Tom Ferraro Our Town

aesthetic sensibility of a fine artist.

Last weekend I wandered around the Americana to get a feel for the place.

I stopped into Cipollini Trattoria for brunch. I think this restaurant is a perfect example of

the Americana Manhasset.

The outdoor seating reminds me of the Ville D’Este Hotel on Lake Como and its inside design encourages people watching.

The clientele all look cool, all vary in age and the place has good energy. I don’t know how Peter Marino did it but its working.

After brunch I stopped in at Coach located right next door.

Last year Coach was consigning work from the Los Angeles artist Gary Baseman and I asked about him.

His limited edition tee shirts are all sold out but what they are doing now is making fun and playful handbags with that Peewee Herman Funhouse dinosaur Rexy on them.

This is the brainstorm of Coach’s new creative director Stuart Vevers who knows something about branding. I can see that the idea of fun is penetrated high fashion.

It seems to me that Louis Vuitton started this trend twenty years ago when they hired Takashi Murakami the Japanese artist who started the flat art movement and cartooning.

My next stop was the Louis

When artists collaborate with fashion designers fun things begin to happen. Here are sneakers using a Gary Baseman print sold by Coach.

Vuitton store where I chatted with two customers, a father and son from Hewlett. The son had just returned from a year abroad in Paris and when I asked them why they drove up here to the Gold Coast from Hewlett they said “The shopping is just as good here as on Madison Avenue and it’s a lot closer to get to.”

I finished my shopping day with a quick stop at Bandier the high end sportswear shop and then had my glasses adjusted at Morganthal Frederic.

I was home within 10 minutes.

I started by saying that shopping ought to be educational and a pleasure. Anyone can appreciate the pleasure of Americana Manhasset with its architecture, its flowering landscape, its luxury items and its Manhattan style restaurants.

But how is all this high-end luxury shopping an education?

Can shopping be considered adult education?

Here’s my answer. We are beginning to see a fashion trend in full swing where designers are using cute fun playful images on clothing and bags. Murakamis cartoons on Louis Vuitton bags.

Rexy the dinosaur on Coach Bags. The Burberry bee on their stuff.

Limited edition Jason Baseman cartoons on high end tee shirts. The list goes on and on.

All these creative directors in charge of branding watch trends and watch what sells. And what is selling is cartoon fun playful stuff fused to high-end luxury.

This is the perfect response to the American dilemma.

Whether you happen to be a one percenter or a fifty percenter we are all in the same boat. And the name of that boat is overwork.

Americans are by far the most industrious and hardworking people on earth. We take fewer vacation days than any other civilized country. What every American needs is some play time, some free time, some fun time.

So let me thank Frank Castagna and Frank Marino and all those fun artists like Gary Baseman and Takashi Murakami and even Peewee Herman for combining beauty and play together in such a luscious way.

Who knew that luxury fashion could carry hidden messages but it can. The message is that life is tough so it makes sense to smile a little and have a little fun every day. Hello Kitty gives big business a hug!

Who could have predicted that one?

Village receives $3M to improve Blvd.

B y S arah M inke w icz

Manorhaven board officials announced last Friday that the village received $3 million from Nassau County to repave and improve Manorhaven Boulevard in Port Washington.

Since Manorhaven Boulevard is a county road, Village Trustees Jim Avena and Priscilla von Roeschlaub said they met with Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton in March to discuss ideas to enhance Manorhaven Boulevard and to receive extra funding.

“Jim and my conversation with Leg-

islator DeRiggi-Whitton began with relatively modest funding requests, such as bus shelters, benches, plantings and lampposts,” Von Roeschlaub said. “But as we continued to discuss ideas for our lovely village along Manhasset Bay, Delia knew the county could help to dramatically enhance our main street for the entire community to enjoy. We are very eager to see this excellent project through to completion.”

Von Roeschlaub said some of the ideas discussed included new sidewalks and curbs, building façade upgrades, benches, attractive streetlamps and

plantings.

After agreeing with the village, DeRiggi-Whitton said she submitted an amendment to the Nassau County Capital Budget and Plan for $2 million in streetscape improvement funding.

The amended plan, which was adopted by the Nassau County Legislature on March 7, will enhance the entire milelong stretch of Manorhaven Boulevard over and above the $1 million allocated

by Nassau County to repave the entire road.

Von Roeschlaub said before any plans are finalized, the community will be in-

vited to review concepts and provide input and that the vision for this project is to turn the village’s main thoroughfare into an area that will serve its residents, attract visitors and create community pride.

“I want Manorhaven to be better than it is,” Von Roeschlaub said. “I want it to be beautiful.”

Nassau County officials said before construction begins, the village needs to conduct a traffic study, meet with residents and businesses to gain input, and get approval from the Nassau County Planning Commission.

MAC backs Pagano, Kraft, Ruemenapp B y S arah M inke w icz

Gary Pagano, candidate running for Manorhaven mayor

The Manorhaven Action Committee announced last Wednesday that it’s endorsing Gary Pagano for mayor and Barbara Ruemenapp and Ken Kraft for trustee.

The organization’s acting secretary, Caroline Dubois, said in a statement that the candidates were endorsed by the MAC Steering Committee based on “their proven ability to solve everyday, quality of life issues, protect the environment and prudently manage village finances.”

“As practical and proactive problem solvers, these community activists and longtime residents of the village have demonstrated their energy, experience and proven ability to guard and enhance the quality of life in our beautiful community,” Dubois said. “Their demonstrable lack of affiliation with any special interests or big businesses is of extreme importance to the residents of Manorhaven.

We endorse these ethical, experienced and efficient individuals, who we believe will truly bring transparency into Village Hall.”

Others running in the election include Trustee Jim Avena for mayor, and incumbent Trustee Priscilla von Roeschlaub, running for re-election, and newcomer Roy Smitheimer, founder of the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District, also running for trustee. Open seats in Manorhaven include mayor and two trustee seats. Mayor Giovanna Giunta

and Trustee Kevin Gately are not running for re-election.

MAC is a local civic association formed in August 2015, which meets once a week to brainstorm solutions to local quality of life issues and offer them to the trustees for action, according to its website.

The endorsements, MAC officials said, were based on an objective ranking system on knowledge of governmental operations, fiscal responsibility and proven managerial skills. They were also based on the candidates’ positions on infrastructure issues including parking; snow plowing; code enforcement; building inspections; emergency preparedness; maintenance of roads and sewers; village communications; governmental transparency and responsiveness.

“The Manorhaven Action Committee endorses our former Mayor Gary Pagano, as well as Barbara Ruemenapp and Ken Kraft for trustees, because they agree with our vision for the future of Manorhaven,” Dubois said. “MAC based its endorsement on these candidates’ comprehensive understanding of vital community issues, their past service to the residents and their steadfast commitment to halt overbuilding. MAC believes that public access to the waterfront for bike paths and fishing piers, protecting the village from overdevelopment, providing environmental stewardship of our wetlands and realworld solutions for our infrastructure issues are priorities.”

Village to add safety signs near parkland B y S arah M inke w icz Baxter Estates officials discussed safety concerns last Thursday about groups of people spending time at the parkland after sunset.

Board officials agreed to add signs in the village parkland adjacent to Chase Bank, located at 115 Main Street in Port Washing-

ton, reminding residents there is no trespassing before sunrise and after sunset.

Trustee Alice Peckelis said she was concerned about the parkland, located at the bottom corner of Hilltop Road and Overlook Drive in Port Washington.

She said she was watching her son’s dog when she noticed a group people in the area.

“I was too intimidated to go

back there,” she said at the meeting.

“These weren’t young kids, these were grown men,” she added. “We need to call the police and figure it out.”

Village Clerk Chrissy Kiernan said police officers went by the location twice.

“You need to call them immediately, because they will respond,” Mayor Nora Haagenson

said.

Peckelis recommended that the village put up a sign in that area to notify the public when the area closes.

Deputy Mayor Charles Comer said there was a sign there before but he believes it was taken down.

“I think there should be one in that area where they all congregate so that they know they’re

not supposed to be there,” Peckelis said.

According to Kiernan, safety signs do not require a resolution, and there is parkland throughout the village.

Officials agreed to add safety signs near the parkland adjacent to Chase Bank, but no action has been taken on the parkland near Hilltop Road and Overlook Drive.

Alleged robber caught after 4-hour search B y N oah M anskar Police arrested a man Wednesday morning who they believe carried out a string of two dozen knifepoint robberies across Long Island and in Queens.

The Nassau County, Floral Park and New York City police departments arrested the suspected robber at Van Siclen Avenue and Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park between 11:30 and 11:45 a.m. after pursuing him for four and a half hours, Floral Park Police Commissioner Stephen McAllister said.

NYPD and Nassau County detectives told McAllister the man in custody is Khalif House, 24, of West Hempstead, who has allegedly robbed two dozen stores with a large kitchen knife since March 1.

There is a “high probability that he’s our guy,” McAllister said.

A Nassau County police spokesman could not confirm any details of the arrest, but said officers are “interviewing a person of interest” in connection with the crime pattern, which began at a North New Hyde Park Dunkin’ Donuts.

The search started when a man who lives on North Tyson Avenue in Floral Park saw a man sleeping on his couch around 7 a.m. Wednesday, McAllister said.

He called Floral Park police and officers who were already nearby responded,

McAllister said. House saw them and ran, he said, losing the officers around 7:15 a.m. when he jumped a fence and hid in a cellar door.

The Floral Park officers called NYPD and Nassau County police, who responded with a presence that eventually grew to dozens of officers, two helicopters, and members of multiple task forces, McAllister said.

An Emmy, but she wasn’t acting

Kaiman wins award for role in Time Warner Cable spot on diversity of Hispanic-Americans B y J oe N ikic For Kim Kaiman, winning an Emmy Award for her role in a Time Warner Cable public service announcement was “a little embarrassing.”

“I still can’t believe it,” she said.

“I almost feel slightly guilty because it was one of the few things I’ve done in over 20 years where I wasn’t acting, I was just being myself.”

Kaiman, executive director of the Town of North Hempstead Business & Tourism Development Corporation, received the award at the 59th annual New York Emmy Awards on March 19.

Kaiman was nominated for her role in Time Warner Cable’s “We Are One” campaign, which aimed to build awareness about the diversity of the Hispanic-American community.

She said the announcement’s message was that Hispanic Americans come from all different walks of life and don’t necessarily look similar.

Kaiman, whose great-grandparents were Spanish, said people are often shocked when she tells them she is Hispanic because of her appearance.

“I think for me, they just look at me like I’ve got three heads, like really you’re Hispanic?” she said. “I can give

them my entire genealogy and it still wouldn’t make a difference.”

She said people should recognize that Hispanic Americans do not have one specific look that identifies them.

“You can’t put us into a vacuum,” she said.

Kaiman said her great-grandparents were sugarcane workers in the Canary Islands.

They then moved to Puerto Rico, she said, where both her grandparents were born.

Her grandfather eventually moved from Puerto Rico to the Bronx, where he owned a bodega.

Kaiman said she grew up in a bilingual household, where she learned to speak Spanish fluently.

The theater was a big part of her upbringing, she said, as she went to numerous performing arts and theatrical venues to perform.

Kaiman said as the years went on, she saw that acting wasn’t going to be her calling in life.

“I realized that I was probably never going to be able to make a living out of it and decided to go to law school at CUNY Law and graduated,” she said.

Although she decided to take a different career route, Kaiman continued to stay involved in the theatrical

community.

She said she has performed on stage locally in Great Neck, Port Washington, East Williston and Queens in the past 25 years.

“Some people like to go to the gym as their hobby, some people like to go jogging in the morning, some people like to cook,” Kaiman said.

“For me, I just enjoy doing theater.”

She said her love of the theater has rubbed off on both her daughter and her husband, Jon Kaiman, who is one of five Democratic candidates vying for the nomination to run for outgoing U.S. Rep. Steve Israel’s Third Congressional District seat.

“It was so interesting to sit back and pass on this tremendous love and be able to share that with my daughter,” Kaiman said. “It’s interesting to see this little spark in her come out.”

She said she and Jon have performed together at Temple Israel of Great Neck.

Through all of her acting experiences, Kaiman said winning an Emmy reigns supreme over her other achievements.

“Who thinks they’re going to win an Emmy? Not me. I didn’t even think we were going to be nominated,” she said. “For me, it represents 25 years of Kim Kaiman enjoying this hobby of mine.”

Northwell HQ moves from Manhasset to NHP B y N oah M anskar New York’s largest healthcare provider now officially calls New Hyde Park its home.

About 300 Northwell Health employees moved into the healthcare conglomerate’s new Long Island headquarters at 2000 Marcus Ave. last month, adding to its large presence in the area, spokesman Terry Lynam said.

The 100,000-square-foot building houses Northwell’s top executives, the Northwell Health Foundation and seven administrative departments that were formerly based at 145 Community Drive in Great Neck, according to a June 6 news release.

Northwell started an extensive renovation in early 2015 that gutted the building and added 4,000 square feet of conference space and a cafe that has yet to open, Lynam said.

“It’s a big upgrade from our previous space,” he said.

Northwell, the state’s largest private employer, announced plans to move in late 2014, saying it had outgrown its previous offices. Other Northwell staff members will continue to occupy that building, the news release said.

The new headquarters brings employees that used to work in separate buildings under one roof, Lynam said.

“Just having everybody within the same office is much more convenient, much more accessible, builds greater teamwork amongst staff, so it’s a real good setup for us and it enables us to be more efficient and accomplish things in a quicker amount of time,” Lynam said of the marketing and communications department’s new office.

The building, leased from New Hyde Park-based Lalezarian Properties, is about half a mile from Long Island Jewish Medical Center and across the street from

Northwell Health Board of Trustees Chairman Mark Claster, left, and President & CEO Michael Dowling unveil the signage on the health system’s new Long Island headquarters at 2000 Marcus Avenue in New Hyde Park. the office building at 1111 Marcus Ave., the home of Northwell’s Center for Advanced Medicine that it will eventually own in a $113.7 million deal closed last year.

With additional offices at 1979 Marcus Ave. and 1981 Marcus Ave., Northwell has “thousands” of employees within about half a mile of each other, Lynam

said.

The health system employs 61,000 people in the New York metropolitan area.

Northwell’s New York City headquarters occupies three floors of a 16-story building on East 59th Street in Manhattan, the news release said.

Lord & Taylor celebrates 75th anniversary B y N eglah S harma

Lord & Taylor in Manhasset

To commemorate its arrival in Manhasset, and in the United States in 1941, Lord & Taylor kicked off Memorial Day weekend with a special charitable shopping event to benefit the United Service Organization, a private nonprofit focused on military support, now also in its 75th year.

The upscale chain retailer kicked off its weekend-long festivities with Breakfast at Sarabeth’s on Friday with Manhasset’s community leaders.

For the three-day weekend, customers could purchase a $5 storewide 25 percent savings pass, with the full cost of the ticket benefiting the United Service Organization.

The organization puts special emphasis on helping forward-deployed troops, military families, wounded warriors, fallen soldiers and others.

“Partnerships like this are important because they help the USO provide services and programs at our locations around the world,” said Michael Hoar,

USO vice president of corporate alliance.

The Congressionally-chartered nonprofit has nearly 180 worldwide locations to keep military service members connected with their families, home and country as they serve the nation.

“The USO provides a touch of home through centers at airports and military bases in the U.S. and abroad, top quality entertainment and innovative programs and services,” said Sarah Camille Hipp, a spokesperson for the USO. She said that service and entertainment tours are made possible through donations of the American people as well as corporate partners.

The United Service Organization provides mobile entertainment gaming, holiday care packages, Operation Phone Home, couples seminars and programs for military mothers-to-be.

Currently, the organization has five centers located in the tri-state area, with an additional one opening soon in Newark, New Jersey.

Port Water District testing sprinkler system B y S arah M inke w icz The Port Washington Water District is testing a sprinkler control technology to reduce the water wasted during lawn irrigation.

District officials said by testing the second-generation Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller, which relies on weather forecasts, they hope to reduce water use by 15 percent.

“We are thrilled to have this technology installed at our district headquarters to test what level of water conservation can be gained this summer,” said David Brackett, chairman of the Port Washington Water District Board of Commissioners. “Roughly 50 percent of all water used for lawn irrigation is wasted through evaporation, wind and runoff. Having a smart controller that can significantly reduce the amount of wasted water is well worth experimenting with.”

Operated through a smartphone, tablet or laptop, the smart controller manages the entire irrigation process of a home, officials said.

By tying into the district’s Wi-Fi network, the controller connects to local weather stations and various sensors throughout the irrigation system monitoring precipitation, soil temperatures and the rate of water loss from the soil.

Each zone in the irrigation system can be programmed to specify the grass type, number of shrubs and plants, and shade or sun levels to prevent oversaturation and runoff.

“Standard clock sprinkler timers are often set at the beginning of the season and forgotten about until the systems are shut off in the winter,” Paul Granger, superintendent of the Port Washington Water District, said. “Smart controllers are designed to remove all of the human error involved in managing a home’s irrigation system; if the technology works as advertised, you will never see a

sprinkler working during a rainstorm.”

The district will test this technology by installing a smart controller meter at its administrative headquarters, at 38 Sandy Hollow Road in Port Washington.

The test began on May 17 and will last through September.

Officials said results will be compared to water usage records from previous years.

Depending on the results of the pilot and reliability of the equipment, the district will consider whether or not to revise its current irrigation system permit program to require the use of controllers that have a WaterSense label.

According to its website, WaterSense is a partnership program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that seeks to protect the future of the nation’s water supply by offering people a simple way to use less water with water-efficient products.

Art League hosting Project Lives photo exhibit

T

he Art League of Long Island will present a photographic exhibition of the award-winning book Project Lives--New York Public Housing Residents Photograph Their World.

The exhibit will be on view in the Art League’s Strolling Gallery from June 21 to Aug. 22.

Project Lives takes you on a remarkable journey into a world turned inside out, where the camera’s subject becomes the storyteller. Participatory photography — of which this collection marks one of the largest efforts anywhere — approaches a new visual medium, a universal language speaking across borders and cultures.

What happens within these brick walls is visible and real and you can see it all at the Art League of Long island. Be prepared to be amazed.

Discover how participatory photography is mightier than the sword. Hear how a few socialminded New York photographers decided to empower the powerless with cameras and pens.

See for the first time a group of people, invisible to most of the world, tell their story in their own pictures and words.

Project Lives originated

when, on behalf of his 501(c) (3) non-profit Seeing for Ourselves, George Carrano pitched the idea of a participatory photography program to the New York City Housing Authority in early fall 2010.

The NYCHA recognized that the poor public perception of the projects and their residents did not serve either the residents or the cause of public housing well.

The program was a success and by the time it eventually did come to an end in May 2013, it had ballooned to serve hundreds of residents of 15 housing projects.

While tens of thousands of New Yorkers had enjoyed the photographs online, this audience was insufficient for Project Lives to fulfill its aim of pressing the reset button in terms of support of public housing by all levels of government.

So George conceived of a book that would allow the photographs, combined with a meaningful backstory, to extend their reach. Already thrilled by the publicity accorded their photographs online, the photographers were overjoyed at the prospect of a book showcasing their work. So with the aid of Chelsea Davis and Jonathan Fisher, the book was published in April 2015.

By using their single-use film cameras as a window into the heart of the projects and a creative instrument of hope, the courageous souls who set out on a daunting mission — to change how their neighbors, friends, relations, and very lives are viewed

by America — may accomplish more than helping preserve their homes.

Project Lives brings you a unique experience of a city within a city. These 18 large format selfcaptioned color photographs created to accompany publication Project Lives tell the story of the people and by the people and you can see it at the Art League.

For a generation, tabloids, television, and Hollywood have defined the public image of New Yorkers who live in the city’s 334 housing projects.

Focusing on crime, disrepair, and other ills that afflict these islands of red brick, such portrayals ironically have made it all too easy for government to reduce the support these projects have relied on since their birth some 80 years ago. And so conditions worsen further yet, as buildings try to soldier on past their useful life, at times crumbling around the 400,000-plus tenants. What if these New Yorkers had the tools

and training to document their own lives? And the opportunity to share the result?

Long Island artist and photographer Holly Gordon, in her book review of Project Lives noted: “Yes, they were taken in the housing projects but they are universal icons of daily life in America in our time. Their unpretentious truth has the power to change how we see life in the projects. Perhaps, we may even become more sensitive to our own daily lives as well as to each other wherever we live. These pictures might have been plucked from any of our smart phones or family albums. But it was New York City housing project residents from children to seniors, with no previous photographic skills, who

documented their lives. Their photos and words are filled with hope and love and family and life, even though they live in an environment where the deck certainly seems to be stacked against them”.

The Art League of Long Island not-for-profit art visual arts organization located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills. The Strolling Gallery is open to the public, free of charge mornings and afternoons during weekdays and during class sessions on the weekends.

Celebrate strawberry season with ease Strawberries are bountiful in June. From farmer’s markets to supermarkets to, even, many peoples’ backyards. These luscious sweet berries come in many varieties and sizes. They are naturally low in calories and have moderate levels of Vitamin C. Remember, when hulling strawberries use your trusty tomato corer...it makes removing strawberry stem a breeze, (see my column from May 11, 2016).

Easy Strawberry Jam will quickly replace whatever you have purchased in the past. It is 100% natural, contains no corn syrup and is appropriately sweet. When you see how easy it is to make homemade strawberry jam, you will wonder why you ever bought store bought.

This time of year you can easily whip up a strawberry dessert by combining ripe strawberries with a store bought Angel Food Cake.

Your family and friends will think you fussed for hours, only you have to know that it took five minutes.

Enjoy the bounty of June....eat strawberries.

Menu Easy Strawberry Jam Angel Food Cake Dressed Up with Strawberries Fast Whipped Cream Easy Strawberry Jam 3 lbs. ripe, but not mushy, strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (approximately 10 cups) 3 cups sugar 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and shredded on a box grater (approximately 1 cup) 2 tblsp. lemon juice 1. Using a potato masher, crush strawberries in a pot until fruit is mostly broken down. Stir in sugar, apple and lemon juice.

2. Bring to boil over mediumhigh heat, stirring to ensure sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to boil mixture, stirring and adjusting heat as needed, until thickened this will take about 20 to 25 minutes. (Jam is very frothy in the beginning and requires constant stirring to prevent it from boiling over; froth will subside as

jam boils.) Remove pot from heat.

3. Let jam cool completely, about 2 hours. Transfer jam to airtight containers (I use old Mason jars) and refrigerate until set, 12 to 24 hours. (Jam maybe refrigerated for up to 2 months.)

4. Serve on toast, over your breakfast yogurt, over ice cream... to name just a few uses.

Angel Food Cake Dressed Up with Strawberries 1 Angel food Cake, store bought, sliced

1. Place berries in a nonreactive bowl large enough to accommodate them.

2. Sprinkle with lemon zest and Liqueur and stir. Refrigerate until serving. (This gets stronger and stronger the longer it marinates.)

3. Served over sliced Angel Food Cake.

4. Pass Whipped Cream alongside.

Fast Whipped Cream Once you try whipping cream like this, you will NEVER do it any other way!

1 cup cream 1 tblsp confection sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1. Put about 1 cup cream in a 4-cup glass measuring cup (a quart take-out container works well too), add sugar and vanilla.

2. Blend, with a hand-held blender for 30 to 45 seconds.

Museum ball to honor Museum exhibit: Scharf ‘Glamorous Graffiti’ painting up to 3 cars An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti, Nassau County Museum of Art’s 2016 Ball, will be held on Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m.

Inspired by the two current exhibitions at the Museum, An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti thematically evokes the work of Kenny Scharf and other late 1970s and early 1980s artists whose vibrant, edgy urban street art transformed contemporary art. Kenny Scharf will be a special guest at the Ball.

New for the 2016 Ball is Late Cosmic Party, a party just for young trendsetters 21-40.

The ball is the Museum’s major annual fundraiser, providing an important component of the museum’s operating budget, offering support for an ambitious schedule of exhibitions and stimulating educational programs for adults, students, families, special-needs individuals and school groups.

An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti will be held at the museum’s historic Gold Coast mansion, which along with extensive gardens and grounds constitutes the former Frick Estate.

Guests will dance to the music of the Alex Donner Orchestra, and will bid for exciting auction prizes including artwork, jewelry, fine dining and unique event experiences.

The ball also features a raffle for a beautiful necklace and earrings of baroque pearls and Swarovski crystals by Ambalu Jewelers.

The media partner for An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti is the magazine, New York Cottages and Gardens.

Tickets to An Evening of Glamorous Graffiti, the 2016 Museum Ball, on Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m., are $1,000 per person at the Patron level, $500 per person at the Friend level and $350 per person at the Junior level (ages 40 and under).

All but $200 of each ball ticket price is tax deductible.

Tickets for Late Cosmic Party (ages 2140) are $125 ($150 after May 31).

Ball ticket holders and sponsors at all levels are the Museum’s guests at Late Cosmic Party. All but $50 of each Late Cosmic Party ticket price is tax deductible.

Tickets to the 2016 Museum Ball may be purchased online at nassaumuseum. org, link top right on home page, or can be obtained by writing to the developmentoffice@nassaumuseum.org or calling the development office at (516) 484-9338, ext. 16.

Nassau County Museum of Art is located at One Museum Drive in Roslyn Harbor, west of Glen Cove Road, just off Northern Boulevard, Route 25A.

Come watch artist Kenny Scharf Karbombz! (paint) up to three vehicles on the Museum grounds. Adults and family groups are encouraged to watch the artist at work. Here’s an opportunity to watch art and interact with the artist as he creates new art works from conventionally painted automobiles. Karbombz! takes place on the grounds on Sunday, June 19 from 12 to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 4 p.m.

In the Museum Tent, from 1 to 2 p.m., Scharf will be signing copies of Kenny Scharf: Kolors, a survey of his Pop-Surrealist work published by Damiani/Standard Press/Paul Kasmin Gallery.

The book will be available for sale at the Museum Store (only books purchased from the Museum Store will be signed). Free with Museum admission, reservations not needed.

Tom Chapin to headline Crosslines folk festival Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Tom Chapin, whose career spans five decades, headlines the second annual Crossroads Folk Festival on Sunday, June 12.

It will extend from 1-8 p.m. at Crossroads Farm on the grounds of the former Grossmann’s Farm, 480 Hempstead Ave. (intersection of Ocean Avenue) in Malverne.

The farm is located just one-quarter mile from Southern State Parkway Exit 17-S and also within a few blocks of the Long Island Railroad’s Malverne train station.

The family-friendly festival will also feature performances by Long Island-based folk-rock harmony trio Gathering Time, New Jersey-based folk stylists Mara Levine and Mike Agranoff, and Long Island-based singer-songwriters Mike Barry, Marci Geller and Kirsten Maxwell, as well as a few upand-coming local showcase artists earlier in the day.

In addition, the Folk Music Society of Huntington will host a jam tent for those amateur and professional musicians with a desire to play, sing or just listen, while there are a playground and farm animals to keep youngsters entertained. Tickets — priced at $20 ($10 for students and seniors 60 and over) are available for purchase online at crossroadsfolkfestival.com and will also be available at the gate for an additional $5.

More details on the festival, including parking information, also appears on the website.

“Prior to last year’s launch of the Crossroads Folk Festival, there hadn’t been a fullfledged folk festival in southwest Nassau since Nassau Community College discontinued its annual event a decade ago,” said Gathering Time’s Stuart Markus, a Malverne resident who has been advising the Nassau Land Trust’s Farm Advisory Committee.

“This slate of musicians will appeal to people who aren’t necessarily dyed-in-the-wool folkies,” he maintained. “Anyone who enjoys acoustic music and appreciates good songwriting will dig these acts.”

Nassau Land Trust Chairman Rick White said: “Since we started managing this land as open space, we’ve held a number of special events to spur public interest in our sustainably run organic farm, and to increase awareness of issues facing our environment. We’re expecting this to be the biggest of our summer events.”

Festivalgoers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. A number of vendors will have food for sale, while Lithology Brewing Company and other local brewers will pour microbrews. New York State wines and soft drinks will be available for purchase as well.

Whether you channel Ethel Merman or Ben E. King, The Temptations or Smokey

Robinson, Julie Andrews or Michael Jackson, come on out and make a joyful noise in celebration of Pride Month!

Yiddish opera troupe to perform ‘The Mikado’ The Gilbert and Sullivan Yiddish Light Opera Company performs its production of “The Mikado,” Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular comic opera, on Wednesday, June 15 at 7:15 p.m. at Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove.

W. S. Gilbert, the lyricist and book writer, set this hilarious satire in Japan with Japanese characters, a device that allowed him to more freely skewer British officials and institutions.

Der Yiddisher Mikado will be performed with Yiddish lyrics and English dialogue.

Starring in the role of Yum Yum, or in Yiddish, Tsipe Tsviele, is Glen Cove’s own Carly Baron, a soprano who studied voice and opera at Muhlenberg College and Florence University of the Arts.

In addition to the Gilbert and Sullivan Yiddish Light Opera Company, Baron has also sung with the Utopia Opera, Schola Cantorum on Hudson and Schola Repertory Singers ensembles.

She is a winner of the Meistersingers German Lied Vocal Competition and the

Collegiate Aria and Art Song Category of NATS. Baron is the daughter of Barbara and Jay Baron of Glen Cove.

Explaining her interest in Yiddish, Baron said that she is the granddaughter of a fluent Yiddish speaker and teacher.

She has been singing in Yiddish since middle school when she performed for three years with the National Yiddish Theatre-Folksbiene’s Kids and Yiddish.

Baron is thrilled to be reconnecting with her past as a Gilbert and Sullivan Yiddish Light Opera Company cast member.

Tickets for Der Yiddisher Mikado are $18 per person. There will be light refreshments with a cash bar.

The performance begins at 8 p.m. To obtain tickets, call CTI at (516) 676-5080.

CTI is located in Glen Cove, 40 Hill Street, at Landing Road.

Long Island’s oldest continuously operating Jewish congregation, CTI has provided Jewish programming and education to the Long Island community since 1897.

Carly Baron will star as Yum Yum/Tsipe Tsviele in The Yiddisher Mikado on June 15 at Congregation Tifereth Israel in Glen Cove.

With the College Wing Eating Championships now completed at three Long Island colleges earlier this month, where students battled each other in an excite-wing and captivatewing throwdown to see who would represent their school at the Second Annual NY Best Wings Festival later this year, the three winners have finally been announced.

Molloy College’s Anthony Pedriata, SUNY Old Westbury’s Jose Gomez, and NYIT’s Tobin George each came out on top, beating out their peers by eating 12 Buffalo Wings from Wing Zone the fastest, and will now advance to the main event going up against last year’s champ from Molloy, Tom Malinowski.

Crowds descended upon the campuses at Molloy College April 9, SUNY Old Westbury May 3, and NYIT May 5 to watch Pedriata, Gomez, and George in an all out wing-frenzy not for the faint-of-stomach.

Going up against some fierce trash talk-wing and strategies from “the typewriter” to “wishboning,” the three

titans of chicken put their appetites to the ultimate test and will now advance to New York’s wing mecca for a shot at the title and bragging rights if they’re crowned this year’s champs.

At the College Wing Eating Championship at the New York Best Wings Festival later this year, the winner of the final round will receive a $100 gift certificate to Wing Zone, a special VIP ticket to the NY Best Wings Festival, a first-place trophy for the school to showcase and honor their college champion, and an online feature at BestWingsLI.com and NYBestWingsFestival.com.

As they prepare for the final and ultimate challenge, these three College Wing Eating Champions are now left with the gratify-wing feeling of accomplishment as their road ahead leads to the 2nd Annual NY Best Wings Festival.

In rapid succession each immigrant religious group has sought to dominate the spiritual skyline of the city.

The German Jews raised Temple Emanuel and the Irish Catholics, to mark their coming of age, constructed St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. Not to be outdone, the Episcopalians thrust St. John the Divine into the skies, the Baptists responded with Riverside Church, and the African-

Americans claimed Harlem with the elegant AME Zion Mother Church. But the battle goes on…Eastern European Orthodox Jews celebrated the Eldridge Street Synagogue and the Italian Catholics claimed their Little Italys with renaissance landmarks. Since 1965 Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Jains, Hispanic Christians, African Christians and Muslims, and American Evangelicals and Pentecostals have entered the battle of architecture to claim their place in the New York sun.

Community Synagogue groundbreaking The Community Synagogue in Port Washington held a ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the new, pardes, outdoor classroom on May 20.

“Pardes is the Hebrew word that means “garden”, but like the word in English that it sounds like, it implies a “paradise,” Rabbi Zeplowitz said. “The magnificence of our synagogue building is matched by the spectacular beauty of our grounds. This new outdoor space will allow our youngest community members to feel “at one” with the world, to show appreciation for God’s Creation, to find joy in being outdoors and to take their first steps as responsible stewards of our planet as we are taught in the Torah.”

The Outdoor Classroom will include areas for gardening, water play, art, a reading corner, climbing, building, gathering, music, dramatic area, digging and science.

Children will benefit from spending more time outdoors, especially in natural places. The goal of the Outdoor Classroom is to increase the quantity, quality, and benefit of outdoor experiences for children since most children do not get enough of today. It promotes more opportunities for gross movements which promotes fitness and health and different topography challenges the mind and body. It gives the children many opportunities to reflect, observe in a multi-sensory experience.

Learning in an outdoor environment recognizes and celebrates differing learning styles. It fosters social interactions, open creative play, discovery and exploration.

Chief Salerno’s tips for teens on prom night Port Washington Police Chief James Salerno would like to remind young people to make responsible choices on prom night.

To ensure everyone has a safe prom night, parents and guardians need to talk with their teens regarding prom safety.

Tips for Parents include; Know and discuss the school code of conduct before the prom with your child; Does the school code of conduct extend to off-site functions that have been approved by the school?; Know who your child is attending the prom with and discuss the events for pre and post prom parties with other parents; Discuss the dangers of drinking and driving. New York State law mandates arrest and license revocation/suspension of any person under twenty-one driving with .02% or more Blood Alcohol Content; Talk with your child about the dangers of club drugs, warning signs and

who to notify for assistance; Pre-plan and role-play answers that your child can use to get out of uncomfortable situations. (e.g., offered alcohol, getting a ride from an intoxicated driver, unwanted sexual advances, etc.) Discuss guidelines and a curfew; Discuss the consequences of violating these rules; Discuss travel plans, use a reputable limousine service that will not allow a person to bring, serve or introduce alcohol into the vehicle; Know who is driving to the prom and who will be a passenger. Limit the number of passengers to increase safety and reduce driver distractions; Know the location of post prom parties and who is sponsoring them; Talk to your teenager about the serious dangers and consequences of underage drinking and driving; If your child’s’ plans change, confirm the change with the parents of other children; Remind your child that you are there for them, if

they need a ride home or to an after prom affair.

“Involved parenting is the best prevention,” Salerno said in a statement.

“Parents remain a powerful influence in fostering healthy teen development and preventing negative outcomes.”

Tips for Teens include; Alcohol is illegal for persons under the age of twenty-one underage drinking is illegal and can result in arrest, injury, or worse; Don’t let friends’ drink and drive; Plan ahead—make sure you have a safe plan for prom night; Discuss your plans with your friends; remind each other about responsible decision-making and confronting peer pressure; Do not accept any drinks from someone you do not know. If you leave your drink, discard it and get a new one; Do not leave your possessions unattended; Learn the warning signs for alcohol poisoning and drug intoxica-

tion, contact 911 for assistance and immediate treatment; Take extra money or have a responsible person available for transportation for a safe ride home or in case an emergency arises; Remember to charge your cell phone and have it with you; Know where you are and where you are going; keep your parents and friends informed; Trust your instincts, if you feel endangered or uncomfortable, leave immediately; Intoxication by alcohol or drugs can lead to poor judgment and dangerous situations; Remember to contact your parents if your plans change; Practice and discuss answers you can use to get out of uncomfortable situations; Do not allow anyone in your car or limo that has drugs or weapons. It is dangerous and everyone in the car is at risk of getting arrested; It is illegal to alter your drivers’ license or any other form of government identification.

Martins welcomes students to state Capitol State Sen. Jack Martins (R-Old Westbury) recently welcomed local high school students Jessica Baer from Schreiber High School, Grace Kim from Manhasset High School and Anahi Tapia from Sewanhaka High School to the State Capitol in Albany.

The three students were in Albany to participate in the League of Women Voters New York State Education Foundation’s annual Students Inside Albany conference.

The conference is designed to increase high school students’ awareness of their responsibility in a representative government and to provide the tools necessary for meeting that responsibility.

Students from all across the state come to Albany to learn about state government and how individual citizens can get involved in the policy-making process.

As part of the conference, Baer, Kim and Tapia spent an afternoon “shadowing” Martins during a recent Senate session.

Martins talked with the three students about his role as asState senator and what he does on a typical day in Albany when the Senate is in session.

Martins also brought them onto the floor of the Senate Chambers, where they were able to watch legislative debates and votes on bills.

Martins is pictured with (from left) Baer, Kim and Tapia in the Senate chambers during their “shadowing” experience as part of the “Students Inside Albany” Conference.

Manhasset schools sued over records request Continued from Page 4 payments to individuals, the district would have to produce a new set of records to fill the request, which the law does not require, Cardillo said.

“The district’s payment records may contain personal identifying information such as a payee’s social security number or home address,” Cardillo wrote.

“If so, revealing such information would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and would have to be redacted prior

to disclosure.”

But court decisions going back to 2001 have rejected arguments like the school district’s, said Robert Freeman, executive director of the Committee on Open Government.

Saffran said the Freedom of Information Law requires municipalities to provide the records and redact personal information.

Several other governments used spreadsheet programs to delete personal data, Saffran said, and one blacked it out by hand.

“It wouldn’t be creating something new. It would be withholding or redacting a portion of an existing record,” Freeman said.

Cardillo said the district tried to redact personal information, but determined “the task could not be completed without unreasonable time and effort,” which the law does not require.

Reclaim New York intially listed the Town of North Hempstead as noncompliant, and its website says Mineola ignored the

request as of May 31.

But Mineola Village Clerk Joseph Scalero said he corresponded with the group multiple times since its request in January and sent the requested documents on Tuesday. The town sent its documents May 19, spokeswoman Carole Trottere said.

“This is an ongoing thing,” Scalero said. “They can’t just come out of a vacuum and say we never spoke.”

Trottere and Scalero said Reclaim New York’s requested a

large amount of information that took weeks or months to process.

North Hempstead ultimately produced more than 850 spreadsheet pages and more than 1,200 electronic document pages, Trottere said.

Reclaim New York spokesman Doug Kellogg confirmed the group received the town’s and village’s documents, and called the town’s website “a big step in the right direction on transparency.”

Blank Slate papers take top Island honors

Publisher Steven Blank with columnist Judy Epstein

Continued from Page 4 “We hope that the awards competition helps to make the journalism on Long Island even stronger.”

Blank Slate Media’s awards awards follow the northwestern Nassau County newspapers’ four wins in the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest in April and the opening of its newest newspaper, the Port Washington Times, in March.

The Great Neck News won third place in NYPA’s spot news category for its coverage of a tree falling on Village of Great

Neck resident Stephanie Epstein while she slept in July 2015, and last year’s Guide to Roslyn took an honorable mention in the special sections category.

The six newspapers’ common editorial page took second place among publications with a circulation of similar size.

In honoring Williston Times’ honorable mention for the Past Presidents’ Award for General Excellence, judges praised the Williston Times’ “solid” reporting — particularly its coverage of the 2015 local elections — as well as the paper’s layouts, ads, photos and editorial pages.

Kohl’s donates $211K to Cohen Children’s Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York, part of Northwell Health, was awarded a grant of $210,998 from Kohl’s through its Kohl’s Cares cause merchandise program.

Presented at the children’s hospital during the annual Children & Healthcare Week fair, the Kohl’s donation to Cohen will support the Kohl’s Cares Keeping Kids Healthy Program, a community-wide nutrition and physical activity program that works to improve children’s overall health and wellness.

Since 2000, Kohl’s has donated more than $4.2 million to Cohen.

“We are very grateful to Kohl’s and Kohl’s Cares for their extraordinary support of the children’s hospital this year and for the last 16 years,” said Debbie Riccardi, director of community outreach at Cohen.

“The partnership between Cohen and Kohl’s is making a tremendous difference in helping to educate our community about making choices about proper nutrition and exercise, which are keys to wellness.”

More than 30 second graders from Our Lady of the Snows in Glen Oaks, Queens, participated in the “hands-on” health fair visiting 12 tables staffed by doctors, nurses and other clinicians.

The event covered a wide range of topics, including the operating room, listening to the heart with a stethoscope, learning about helmet safety, dental care and injury prevention. It also included a tour of an ambulance and a presentation on healthy eating.

Held in the hospital’s lobby, the health fair showcased Kohl’s Cares Keeping Healthy program, with local Kohl’s employ-

ees volunteering at the event.

During Children & Healthcare week, Cohen hosted more than 650 elementary school children who participated in the kids’ health fair.

Kohl’s supports Cohen Children’s Medical Center through the Kohl’s Cares cause merchandise program.

Through this initiative, Kohl’s sells $5 books and plush toys, where 100 percent of net profit benefits children’s health programs nationwide, including hospital partnerships like this one. Kohl’s has raised nearly $300 million through this merchandise program.

Through the Kohl’s Associates in Action

volunteer program, more than 834,000 associates have donated more than 3.2 million hours of their time since 2001, and Kohl’s has donated more than $79 million to youth-focused nonprofit organizations.

Kohl’s also offers fundraising gift cards for schools and youth-serving organizations.

Port H.S. seniors to wear gender neutral gowns Continued from Page 1 ing blue gowns and white stoles “goes beyond the transgender issue.”

“As a progressive school district we believe that the time has come to no longer separate students by gender and to demonstrate a more inclusive practice at graduation,” Mooney said. “This is a supportive step in preparing our students for the global environment, which they will be joining as young adults and a unify-

ing action to show our respect for their individual needs.”

The argument over what color gowns the students should wear sparked a debate at an April 19 meeting.

A Shreiber High School senior, Lorraine Johnson, said during the public meeting that if students are forced to wear a color that they don’t identify with it could make them feel uncomfortable on what “is supposed to be a fun and happy day.”

“Why does Shreiber have girls and white and boys in blue at graduation?” Johnson said.

“Well it’s for the sake of tradition and while traditions can be really important to us sometimes the greatest tradition is to do the right thing. My initial thought about this issue was that I like the way it’s always been and I like the mix of white and blue and I think I’d look nice in a white gown, but then I thought about the students that may be among us who might

not appreciate being forced to gender their outfits. First of all some people might not have told anyone that their gender identity does not match the one assigned at birth and beyond that not everyone feels they fit into the girl or boy category.”

Mooney said the district was guided by the Dignity for All Students Act, which seeks to provide the state’s public elementary and secondary school students with a safe and supportive environment

free from discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment and bullying on school property, on a school bus or at a school function.

“We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and their years of dedication and hard work as they move forward onto higher education, into professional careers and as members of the armed services,” she said.

The school’s graduation ceremony will be held on June 23.

New bat house installed on latest ‘Off the Trail’ North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth recently joined Ranger Eric Powers of the hit North Hempstead Television (NHTV) program “Off the Trail,” to hang a bat house along the Hempstead Harbor Trail.

It was all part of the latest episode of the show, which also takes a look at the amazing sense of hearing of both bats and horses.

In the new episode, Ranger Powers also instructs viewers on how to easily build a bat house for their own backyard.

With the assistance of Parks Department personnel, the bat house was hung in a cottonwood tree along the trail in order to control the insect population.

The Town of North Hempstead uses many environmentally safe methods of pesticide control, such as bat houses.

Bats can eat up to 1000 mosquitoes per hour. Several bat houses have also been installed at Clark Botanic Garden with great success in controlling the insect population.

“Off the Trail” also visited the Nassau County Police Department’s Mounted Unit at Eisenhower Park to see how horses are trained and how their extraordinary sense of hearing helps them in their work.

The episode will air in May on Channel 18/63 on Cablevision and Channel 46 on Verizon FIOS, or at www.

County clerk speaks to Milan seniors

From left: Ram K, Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell and Milan Seniors Club President Dr. Nilesh Soni

Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell was the guest speaker at the Milan Seniors Club meeting at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park.

O’Connell spoke with members about the services the Clerk’s office provides to the community including the processing and maintenance of the County’s land and court records.

O’Connell was also proud to announce to the group that Nassau County land and miscellaneous records are now available to search online.

The public can access County Clerk records such as deeds, mortgages, property cards, UCC filings, and business names from their home or office.

The Clerk explained that this online service has been introduced for the convenience of Nassau County residents. Access is available through the County

Clerk’s website at http://www. nassaucountyny.gov/clerk or by going to www.uslandrecords. com.

O’Connell also advised residents about mass mailings for costly deed retrieval services, some of which cost 1000% more than the Clerk’s Office fees, and to disregard such offers. These deceptive solicitations advise homeowners they need to purchase a certified copy of their deed which actually can be obtained directly from the Clerk’s office for a nominal fee.

She cautioned homeowners to be aware of other types of scams seen at the Clerk’s office and initiatives she has undertaken to assist and protect residents. Clerk O’Connell reminded the seniors to be wary of solicitations looking for any type of personal identifying information.

Her talk examines the evolution of the East End, including its social, economic, and environmental history. It includes colorful characters of yesterday and current chal-

lenges facing what has been called “one of the last great places.”

Richard Barons, Executive Director of the East Hampton Historical Society, has called Professor Weigold’s Peconic Bay book “an engrossing collage of folklore and facts that tells an episodic history of Long Island’s eastern forks.”

Hillary would be a 185 cops graduate disaster for veterans from police academy

D

ear Ms. Rubin In today’s Great Neck News your article depicts Donald Trump as a draft dodger but Hillary’s husband Bill also dodged the draft — no mention in your article of that.

You also mention Obama has done more for veterans than any other President – are you talking about the V.A. scandal that was responsible for thousands of veterans getting screwed by corrupt V.A. officials under Obama’s tenure?

You also point out Hillary’s fine efforts to help veterans – I have two words for that: Benghazi and E-Mail server. She put countless American service people in danger and let four men die because she wanted to run for President in 2016.

You also pointed out that Donald Trump calls for the expanded use of torture, which would put U.S service people at risk— just ask Sen. McCain how he was treated as a P.O.W., which crippled him; of course, as a politician he is against “torture” of U.S. held P.O.W.s.

As a charter member of “Concern for P.O.W.s” an organization that helped free our Vietnam P.O.W.s, I can safely say that every one of them was treated inhumanely by the North Vietnamese.

I know you’re a Democrat, but Hillary Clinton will be a disaster for the veterans and the country they served.

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter presented certificates of completion to 185 police recruits on May 31 at a graduation ceremony held at Hofstra University in Hempstead.

The recruit class was the largest class of graduates in over 20 years. The recruits completed seven months of intense law enforcement training at the Nassau County Police Academy.

Of the 185 graduates, 175 are members of the Nassau County Police Depart-

ment and the remaining are graduating to Village and City Police Departments and the Sheriff Department.

“Nassau County has one of the lowest crime rates in the nation thanks to the dedicated men and women of the Police Department,” said Mangano. “Nassau County Police Officers are known for their professionalism and expertise in intelligence led policing. As County Executive I take great pride in our Police Department and I welcome these new officers to the force.”

Tips for when hiring a home inspector I want to take a moment and say I am remiss in not mentioning anything about Memorial Day, the previous week; so I am regretfully sorry and would like to thank all our veterans, and current service men and women for keeping our country safe and free for all to enjoy!

You’ve been looking for months, maybe years or if really lucky a few weeks or days for that special home, condo or coop to finally settle down in with your family, wife, girlfriend or significant partner.

Your agent has negotiated for you, provided all the necessary documents, bank commitment letter, proof of funds, tax returns, pay stubs and credit scores. You’re exhausted, but you are still not done. You have to now hire an inspector (not for a co-op or condo), before signing your contract, to make sure your special home is not a “Money Pit” (from the 1986 Steven Spielberg movie with Tom Hanks(Walter)

and Shelley Long (Anna)).

Walter and Anna purchase a dilapidated old house with the assistance of their real estate agent “friend” from a little old man, but did not hire an inspector to check their purchase, because they thought they were getting a super deal. They figured that they would spend some money and go thru the renovation process.

Little did they know what they had to endure, especially with the contractor, Curly (actor, Philip Bosco) that they hired.

If you want a belly laugh, download the movie and you will be laughing through most of the movie.

But in reality, it’s not funny at all, when you consider that spending a measly $350-$550 to hire a professional and licensed (must be in New York State) home inspector or engineer, to check your home will go a long way to ensure that what you are buying will not turn into a “mon-

philip a. raices Real Estate Watch

ey pit.”

As I mentioned last week, referrals from friends as to whom they hired, would be a start.

You can also ask your agent for a recommendation, assuming you have full trust and credibility in their expertise, knowledge and trustworthiness.

First thing first, ask about their fees and what they will do.

Then ask them what they

will be checking out. The following is what they should be analyzing: 1. Roof 2. Foundation 3. Electrical box and outlets 4.

Boiler/heat/radiators, forced air, radiant heat, etc.

5. Gas connections/stove 6. Checking Water from faucets and shower (cold and hot) as well as leaks 7. Attic area for insulation, water leaks. (functioning of attic fan, if applicable) 8. Windows and air leaks, where there might be heat loss 9. He might advise to check for permits and C.O’s (Certificates of Occupancy) on rooms, bathrooms, decks or any types of structures that may not be original. This could potentially affect your ability to get a mortgage on that specific home.

10. Your inspector will possibly either print out your report on the spot, if he has the technology to do this or within 24-48

hours.

Then you an go over it with your attorney and see if there are any major flaws in the home that would cause a major expense after purchasing.

Remember, the home inspector works for you and not the seller, so they will disclose whatever is right and not right about the home.

I can assure you, it will be the best insurance to protect you from falling into a “Money Pit.” Philip A. Raices is the owner of Turn Key Real Estate in Great Neck. He can be reached by email: Phil@TurnKeyRealEstate.Com or

Town takes part in Port HarborFest

Continued from Page 2 previous years.

After finding out the event was cut short, Long Island resident Kenny Matos said on the HarborFest Facebook page, “That’s unfortunate, this is one of the best festivals in Long Island. Reschedule to August! That’ll give the vendors plenty of time.”

Port Washington Chamber of Commerce officials responded: “I understand, we’re all disappointed. But there are so many vendors who schedule other fairs and events so most of them wouldn’t be able to be at a rain date event. We also

spend a lot of money for tents and other rentals, on-site electricity, sound company, etc. that we don’t get back when it rains so we can’t pay those costs twice.

Same issue for the entertainment in the children’s fun park. It really is lousy, but thankfully it only happens rarely. First time in 13 years, which isn’t bad.”

Officials said the mission of HarborFest is to celebrate Port Washington’s nautical heritage and to increase public awareness of the need to preserve and protect its waterfront and environment.

Next year’s HarborFest is scheduled for June 4, 2017.

Despite poor weather conditions, residents still performed in the Talent Show at HarborFest in Port Washington.

DeMartin drops out of Assembly race

Continued from Page 1 town councilman from 1992 through 2005.

DeMartin said he was “shocked” when he found out that D’Urso had entered the race.

“I’ve always shown a streak of independency and that necessarily is not what they’re looking for in this particular thing, as they’ve reached out and grabbed another candidate that I would say is not going to be as independent a thinker as I am,” he said.

DeMartin also said that he suspects there was a “higher-up” in the committee or someone with strong political influence who made the choice.

“My personality probably does not agree with North Hempstead leadership,” he said. “I don’t step in line for anybody. I’m

more about the people.”

DeMartin said that both North Hempstead Democratic Party leader John Ryan and Nassau Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs were supportive of him until the party selected D’Urso.

He said that the fact he is an “independent thinker” may have discouraged the party from choosing him.

Efforts to reach Ryan for comment were unavailing.

While working at the town, DeMartin said he did not have major differences in ideas from Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and her administration, but they had a difference in “styles.”

He said he was more “upfront” and preferred to “move in a rapid direction,” while the town

Andrew DeMartin was not on the same page.

“I think they’re very cautious in the way they move and proceed,” DeMartin said. “I think it’s a slow-paced type of government that doesn’t necessarily move in a progressive manner.”

While he described Bosworth

as a “beautiful person,” he said that he did not “love” Town Attorney Elizabeth Botwin “in any way, shape or form.”

DeMartin said that Botwin was the prime force behind most of the town’s decisions and that she was more difficult to work with while Bosworth was easy to get along with.

Both Bosworth and Botwin declined to comment.

In terms of the town’s recent ethics reforms after a Newsday report revealed in late January that Gerard Terry, the North Hempstead Democratic party leader, carried a $1.4 million state and federal tax debt while earning more than $200,000 a year in six government jobs, he said that the town was “doing fine,” but thought it could have

lessened the impact the report had on its employees.

“There’s a way to do that too and not necessarily hurt people,” DeMartin said. “I think there was a lack of thought on the human aspect of how that affects people.”

DeMartin, who now runs his own emergency management consulting business, AJD Security and Development, said while D’Urso was a “fine gentleman,” he would not vote for him nor the Republican candidate for the 16th Assembly District, Matt Varvaro.

“I don’t think we should be sending just fine gentleman to Albany,” he said. “I think we need to send people to Albany that have tenacity and are willing to make changes and be brave.”

Resident concerns delay development Continued from Page 19 ther a retail store or a restaurant.

The developers first appeared before the board on March 7, but were told the proposal could not be approved at the meeting because it hadn’t gone before the zoning board, and there were concerns about landscaping and lighting.

Guardino said changes were made in the site plans and it was approved by the zoning board.

He said the developers are proposing to plant 14-foot evergreens, and build a 4-to-5-foot retaining wall topped by a 6-to-7-foot fence as a buffer between the building parking lot and the adjacent resident’s property.

“That would block any lights or headlights,” Guardino said.

He added that they are also choosing

to use LED lighting to further limit the impact on residents.

Flower Hill resident John Karey, who shares a property line with the site, requested that the developers build a higher wall, and another neighbor favored that approach, also.

“Why can’t the retaining wall for my neighbor who sits higher than I, and for us for safety, sound, aesthetics, start at 15 feet?”

Karey said that he wants to see one structure in lieu of multiple walls and fences.

Village Engineer Stephen Lawniczak said at the meeting that the developers cannot build a 15-foot concrete wall, due to the landscape.

Village Mayor Elaine Phillips said a two-foot retaining wall and 13 feet of

Village enforces code on Port business Continued from Page 2 to just dictate what kind of businesses you feel like making deals with and having them work within our village is a little bit insulting and I think you can appreciate that,” Weitzner added.

Weitzner said the village doesn’t have active code enforcement due to a lack of funding but the Laurel Group’s use of the parking lot for its operations was discovered by Bartbach.

“We have a building inspector and superintendent that recognizes there are violations but they are not hired for a separate use to go around the village,” he said. “It’s when we get complaints that we have to act.”

Village Attorney Stuart Besen said the village should follow usual procedure and order a remedy before issuing violations.

“They’re in violation of the village code,” Besen said. “On so many levels.”

Board officials said they will issue a seven-day notice to have all landscaping material off the property.

“The board can be a little bit lenient so long as there’s not complaints, but in the long run the last thing we want to see is a landscaping company running in the back of your building as a part of our plan of a maritime zone and a passive zone and to see trucks and landscaping trucks back and forth,” Weitzner said. “So you need to relay that.”

“We’re doing our best and you should be doing your best and I’m sure this will al work out,” he added.

Yaraghi said the seven days would be more than enough time to remove the materials from the parking lot.

fencing might be the best option.

“I love that idea just for safety reasons,” she said. “What’s wrong with that?

Nothing.”

The village board said the board would continue to work with the developer on the proposal.

Phillips said board members will go to the property to see what would be the best option for developers that would also meet the resident’s need.

Also at the meeting, the board passed

a law amending the administrative code to allow the village to use a “best value” analysis when awarding contract bids.

The law states, “The Village of Flower Hill may award contracts for certain goods and services on the basis of a best value offer as an alternative to awarding such contracts to the lowest responsible bidder.”

“This will allow the village to be able to award contracts on best value rather than lower price,” Village Clerk Ronnie

Continued from Page 3 “I thought if I come in by myself and people know what I’ve done, I think I’ll have a better chance,” he said.

Although he’s running in his own political party, the Proactive Party, Kraft said he’d have no problem endorsing Pagano and Ruemenapp.

Kraft is currently a member of the board of directors of the Glen Head/ Glenwood Landing Business Association as well as a recent member of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce.

Kraft said his interest in the village paved the way for the formation of the Manorhaven Action Committee, where, he said, “over the past eight months many residents have come together to express their dissatisfaction with the current operation of the village government and its inability to address many quality of life issues that have apparently existed for quite some time.”

He graduated from Nassau Community College with an associate degree in marketing and from C.W. Post College with a bachelor’s degree in marketing.

He was a member of the Port Wash-

ington Fire Department’s Flower Hill Hose Company. He served in the U.S. Army, where his assignments included Fort Hood, Texas, and Vietnam. He was a police cadet, police officer, and sergeant with the Nassau County Police Department for over 37 years, finishing his career with the Bureau of Special Operations where he supervised the C.A.P.E.R. Alarm Program for victims of domestic violence and threats to life.

Kraft’s volunteer experience includes coaching over 1,000 boys and girls in soccer, basketball, baseball and softball and conducting after-school programs for fishing and basketball in his North Shore School District community.

He was also a member of the Glenwood Landing American Legion Post 336 in Glen Head, where he served as house chairman, board of directors member and food drive coordinator, raising money each year to provide holiday meals for families and seniors in need in the North Shore/Glen Cove area. He also coordinated collection of 1,500 DVD’s for Walter Reed Army Hospital and the Northport VA Hospital.

FICA benefits worth the payments B y D iane B rangman

Social Security District Manager in Mineola, New York Your first job is a landmark occasion. You’re meeting new people, making professional connections, and probably cashing that first paycheck. You might be a little surprised when you see a portion of your earnings go to a tax called “FICA” for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act. This deduction goes to Social Security and is your way of helping us secure your today and tomorrow. It’s our job to keep the safety net of Social Security strong through your incremental contributions.

Understanding how important your contribution is takes some of the sting away because your taxes are helping millions of Americans. By law, employers must withhold Social Security taxes from workers’ paychecks. While referred to as “Social Security taxes” on an employee’s pay statement, sometimes the deduction is labeled as “FICA.” This stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, a reference

to the original Social Security Act. Sometimes, you will see “OASDI,” which stands for Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance, the official name for the Social Security Insurance program.

The taxes you pay now mean a lifetime of protection

a changing population — and you can count on Social security in the future.

Because you’re a long way from retirement, you may have a tough time seeing the value of benefit payments that could be many decades in the future.

But keep in mind the Social Security taxes you’re paying can provide valuable disability or survivors benefits, if the unexpected happens. Studies show that of today’s 20-year-olds, about one in four will become disabled, and about one in eight will die before reaching retirement.

To learn more about Social Security and exactly what you’re earning for yourself by paying Social Security taxes, take a look at our online booklet, How You Earn Credits, at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10072.html.

We’re doing this job to— for retirement in old age or benefits that your Social Secuin the event of disability. And rity taxes help provide. Social gether.

Continued from Page 66 Officers from Nassau County’s K-9 unit, robbery squad and search squad were on the scene, as were NYPD’s fugitive squad and U.S. marshals.

Police set up a perimeter in the area about one-tenth of a mile long and notified the nearby John Lewis Childs School, McAllister said. Nassau County police were ready to deploy 30 more officers when a woman called the Floral Park Police Department saying she had seen a man nearby who matched House’s description, he said.

Police found him and surrounded him after a short chase, McAllister said.

“It was a dogpile,” he said.

Floral Park resident Matt Hynes said NYPD vehicles sped past him as he was driving east on Jericho Turnpike near Tulip Av-

enue on Wednesday morning. He saw side streets blocked from just past Tulip Avenue to the Holy Spirit Church at South Sixth Street, he said.

The suspect has allegedly robbed 24 stores in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens counties using a large kitchen knife, usually late at night. Nassau police labeled him their top priority in April after he robbed a New Hyde Park Subway shop.

McAllister said House allegedly attempted a 25th robbery at a Dollar Tree store in College Point, Queens, on Tuesday night.

NYPD officers thought he would next head to a Dunkin’ Donuts at Hillside Avenue and Little Neck Parkway because it fit his pattern, McAllister said.

They did not find him there but arrested his girlfriend and seized his car, he said.

“We wanted to capture this guy because he’s been a thorn in Nassau County’s side for quite some time with these serial robberies, so it’s a big win for everybody today,” McAllister said.

Most of House’s alleged Nassau County targets have been 7-Eleven, Dunkin’ Donuts, Carvel and Subway stores. Police have said he staked out the locations to make sure no customers were inside, usually wearing a mask or dark cloth to cover his face.

Suffolk County police have participated in the investigation, Nassau police have said.

Floral Park police Sgt. Ron Dagliano was determined to capture House throughout the search Wednesday because cops had him cornered in such a small area.

“He was like a dog with a bone,” McAllister said.

Sebastian Velasquez and Mike Michael Merolla anchored the infield while Angelo Malandruccolo and Alan Sikora held down the fort in the outfield. The Sharks took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the fifth when Manfredi made a huge throw from center to toss out a runner at third. With two men on in the bottom of the sixth and Symanski still on the mound, Merolla made a big play on a fly ball to deep short.

Symanski struck out the last two batters to toss a complete game. What a great day for the Sharks. Next stop, the Championship. Good luck 10u Red Sharks.

Olde Trading Post/Park Chapels Athletics vs. Albertson Herricks Little League

Marlins The Athletics played a hard-fought game against the Marlins on a beautiful Monday evening at Merillon Field.

The Athletic rallied too and fought back with homers by Jesse Tricario and Sebastian Velasquez. Randolph Edel walked and then stole home. Young Brian O’Connor added another RBI but the A’s fell short.

The Athletics, after this close loss, look forward to a rematch with the Marlins this coming Wednesday.

The Athletics played superbly and evened up their series against the Marlins on Wednesday at Caemmerer Field. The Athletics offense erupted with numerous extra base hits and the final score was 105.

Devan Shah and Michael Gagliardi showed improvement at the plate and provided key at bats. Sanay Shah and Ethan Vo also contributed, advancing baserunners by providing hard hit balls when needed.

Ft. Lauderdale strikes down Cosmos, 2-1 The New York Cosmos had a challenge in front of them. Not only did they have an opportunity to clinch the Spring Season title, but they would have to do so on the road and in their fourth game in 11 days.

However, it was the Fort Lauderdale Strikers that were able to spoil the Cosmos’ chances with a 2-1 victory at home over the NASL’s top team at Lockhart Stadium.

“We had the game in our hands to be able to be the spring champions,” said Cosmos Head Coach Giovanni Savarese. “Even though we created chances, we didn’t look convincing. We didn’t connect the passes going forward that we wanted to.”

In the 35th minute, Jose Angulo earned the Strikers a corner kick with a strong attack into the penalty area that was put aside

by Cosmos goalkeeper, Jimmy Maurer. The ensuing set piece was delivered in, headed from the front post to the back by Dalton, and sent into the goal with an Angulo header.

The Cosmos were able to pull within 2-1 with a goal from Juan Arango two minutes into stoppage time, but it would not be enough.

Arango earned his teamleading fourth goal of the season on a free kick from 22 yards away. Confusion and screening in front of Strikers goalkeeper, Diego Restrepo, made it a onegoal game to add some drama to the finale.After the Arango goal brought New York back to life and within 2-1, the Cosmos had one final opportunity to equalize in the third minute of stoppage time.

The Strikers followed up Geison Moura who promptly “The second half was much their first half goal with a tally in took a shot through the legs of a better,” Savarese said of his

team’s effort. “We created many chances. We attacked and had the better of the play.”

New York finishes the Spring Season with 18 points (6-0-4) and a +7 goal differential that is currently good enough for first place. Indy Eleven, Minnesota United FC, Carolina RailHawks, Tampa Bay Rowdies, and the Strikers are all in position to attempt to overtake the Cosmos for first place.

The two latter firms are the least likely to pass New York due to goal differential. A first place finish in the Spring Season clinches a playoff berth.

“It’s not up to us now,” said Savarese. “It was up to us today and our main goal was to win the Spring Season, but now it depends on the results in order to be able to clinch it.”

The Cosmos will look to get back on track as they meet up with New York City FC in the Fourth Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Coffey Field on the campus of Fordham University.

Garden City girls beat Manhasset in final minute B y G regory G iaconelli The third-seeded Manhasset Indians varsity girls lacrosse team has lost their Nassau Class B championship game to top-seeded Garden City Trojans, 9-8, Wednesday night at Bethpage High School. The Trojans would net the game winning goal with 29.2 seconds left in regulation and put an end to a fantastic season for the Indians.

Despite taking the Trojans to the championship game, Indians head coach Danielle Gallagher felt the rivalry between these two teams has been tremendous over the past couple of seasons.

“We always had a big rivalry with them” said Gallagher. “A few years ago, we got moved from a Class C school to a Class B school. That kind of intensified the rivalry.”

Over the course of the past few seasons, it would come down to the Indians, Trojans and the Wantagh Warriors fighting for supremacy in the conference. In 2012, the Indians would go on to lose against the Trojans in the championship game.

They would exact revenge the following year and eventually capture a Long Island Championship.

Two seasons ago, the Indians would triumph once again as they would go all the way to the State Finals to win their first title since 2003.

Fast forward to 2016, the in conference rivals remain intact and the two powerhouses would add another classic installment to their historic rivalry. The Indians would lose an overtime thriller to the Trojans 9-8 in the Woodstick Classic back on April 30.

In the Nassau B Championship game, the Indians would lose by the same score but it would end in the dying seconds of regulation. In the first half, the Trojans outscored the Indians 4-3 and the second half had both teams combining for 10 goals.

Although it was hard to mount a comeback after being down 4-0, the girls managed to fight back and put in a full team effort till the end. Gallagher stressed that they were playing scared and competitive defensively but they just couldn’t capitalize on their chances.

“We got into a big hole and couldn’t

get out” said Gallagher. “We had our opportunities. We took a lot of shots and unfortunately we just didn’t finish.”

Looking back on this past season, there is plenty to be proud of. Gallagher praises the seniors for guiding them to another magnificent run and for their CHERRY 1-8 Page - 05-19-16_Layout 1 leadership.

They graduated lot of seniors

last season with five players named “As always, we have a great group of seniors who worked their tails off” said Gallagher. “They do a great job of being good role models to the younger kids and it teaches them that teamwork is the key to success.

That has been the key to success for many 5/19/16 2:46 PM Page 1 many years.”
