Defeats 4 rivals in 3rd District

By N o a h M a n s k a r Tom Suozzi won the Democratic nomination Tuesday to replace U.S. Rep. Steve Israel in the Third Congressional District with 6,532 votes, or 35.33 percent, setting up a likely contest with Republican state Sen. Jack Martins in November.

Marina, tenants seek accord over suit Lawyers try to avoid trial in dispute over Manorhaven evictions

By S a r a h Minkewicz A month after Haven Marina residents filed a lawsuit against the landlord, Michael Boromand, both parties are working to reach an agreement, a lawyer representing the houseboat resi-

dents said on Tuesday.

“We’re hoping to get to where we need to go,” said the lawyer, Michael Frevola of Holland & Knight LLP. He added that although he can’t discuss the possible terms, the “tenants are probably going to have to move.”

Although the trial is set for July 26 at Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola, Frevola said the parties are trying to reach an agreement before then.

Seven Haven Marina houseboat residents, Arthur Fishbein, Edward Merkel, George Wendt, Peter Mohan, Nick Cyprus, Kathleen Sutherland and Allan Glasser, filed a lawsuit against Haven Realty seeking to prevent Boromand from evicting them.

Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Daniel Palmieri on May 16 issued a temporary restraining order barring Boromand from trying to evict residents.

Houseboat residents said

there was a sign posted at the marina telling residents to vacate the area.

Haven Marina’s attorney, Anthony Placentini, said Boromand and a Haven Marina co-owner, Ed Mayourian, a developer, want their property cleared of boats to build waterfront condominiums.

“We’re hoping to settle this matter,” Placentini said.

Pidot tries to throw Development on wrench in Martins’ bid waterfront halted

Judge says federal election challenge can go forward Village OK’s 6-month moratorium

By S a r a h Minkewicz

By N o a h M a n s k a r For months, state Sen. Jack Martins has been considered the chosen Republican candidate in the race to succeed Rep. Steve Israel, but a challenger, Philip Pidot, continues to put bumps in his path.

Federal District Judge Joseph Bianco on Wednesday allowed Pidot’s request to set a new date for a Republican primary in the Third Congressional District to move forward, scheduling oral arguments in the case for July 11, court records show.

While Martins is currently the Republican candidate under Nassau County Supreme Court Judge Arthur Diamond’s June 24 ruling, the state Board of Elections will not certify him for the Nov. 8 general election against the Democratic nominee, Tom Suozzi, until the issue is settled in court, said a Pidot spokesman, Bill O’Reilly.

“To us it seems like a very clear case of the right of voters to choose their candidate in their primary,” O’Reilly said.

After receiving approval from the Nassau County Planning Board, Manorhaven trustees unanimously voted last Wednesday to approve a sixmonth moratorium on development of waterfront property.

Village officials said the moratorium will be in effect so an engineering company can produce a plan for the future of Manorhaven.

“The village board of trustees and other village officials need the time afforded by the moratorium in order to comprehensively address the question of how to properly modify the restrictions in place along the village’s waterfront without further development proceeding,” Village Attorney James Toner said.

Citing the absence of an adequate village plan, village board officials passed the moratorium on April 21, but later decided a correction needed to be made regarding the area of waterfront that would be affected.

Toner said the board wanted to make sure the paperwork was

correct and accurate, and on May 25 submitted the package to the Nassau County Planning Board for approval.

Nassau County planning officials on June 16 allowed the village to go ahead with the revised plan.

Sean Sallie, supervisor of the Department of Public Works Planning Division, said that it is up to the village to take the next steps to move the moratorium forward.

“The village is free to decide on the matter as it chooses,” Sallie said, because the county Planning Board “did not have any objection.”

According to Toner, the six months do not begin until after Village Clerk Leslie Gross files the paperwork and sends it to the secretary of state.

“Maybe in a week or so,” he said at the board meeting.

“I will be filing with the secretary of state,” Gross said.

“They will send back a letter saying that they received it and it’s on file and that’s when the clock will start.”

Gross said after she receives confirmation it will be posted on the village website.

H.S. graduates ready for the challenge School officials and students say final good-byes to Schreiber’s Class of 2016

By S a r a h Minkewicz Paul D. Schreiber High School’s class of 2016 is bound together by three significant threads of the same fabric — gratitude, love and courage, said Kathleen Mooney, the Port Washington School District superintendent.

“We are all part of the same fabric that makes us human,” she said to the hundreds who attended Thursday’s graduation ceremony at Schreiber’s football field.

“You are on the cusp of an important milestone in your life, and it’s very exciting to share this moment with you and you families,” Mooney said, adding that she also achieved an important milestone in her life.

“Exactly one month ago today, I had triple bypass surgery,” she said.

Mooney said because of her support system, she was able to summon her strength, determination and courage to confront her fear and “work to reestablishing a normal life.”

She said she is confident the

Mooney added that the students will be graduating with a “high-quality education from a community that values its schools and is committed to its children.”

According to Mooney, the graduating class was awarded nearly $2.2 million in scholar-

ships to universities and colleges across the country.

“And while it is not a competition, I do believe that you surpassed the class of 2015, well done,” she said.

The school board president, Karen Sloan, advised class members to chart their own course and avoid being swayed by others.

“Change is the only constant in life, but it doesn’t mean it will be easy,” said Sloan. “Be brave enough to make change and let it reflect in your choices. Make those choices from your hopes, not your fears.”

She added: “Don’t worry so much about the things that you cannot change; focus your energy on the things you can. The belief that all things change is true. No situation is permanent.

Be the change you want to see in the world. You may not be able to change a situation, but you can always change the way you handle it.”

Port lawyer named treasurer of group

By S a r a h Minkewicz

For Port Washington resident Annamarie Bondi-Stoddard, college didn’t run in the family but after doing well in school at an early age she decided to pursue a career in law, she said.

“I don’t come from a background of lawyers and doctors, and I was one of the first in my generation, besides my cousin, to go to college,” said BondiStoddard, managing partner of the law firm of Pegalis & Erickson LLC. “My parents and grandparents were Italian immigrants.”

Bondi-Stoddard obtained a law degree from Boston University and an undergraduate degree from Seton Hall University, where she graduated summa cum laude, with departmental honors.

After graduating from law school, Bondi-Stoddard said she had the opportunity to work at a firm that specialized in medical malpractice.

“You learned as you go along and I thought it was very interesting,” she said.

Bondi-Stoddard has more than 30 years of experience representing plaintiffs in medical

negligence cases involving women’s health issues, birth injuries, and surgical, neurosurgical, cardiac, cancer and other medical specialties.

Her successful cases include securing a record medical malpractice settlement against the New York City Health and Hospitals Corp. for an infant who sustained brain damage at birth as a result of oxygen deprivation and skull fracture.

Bondi-Stoddard said she believes the most important goals in medical malpractice litigation are helping secure the financial future of significantly injured individuals so they may have a better quality of life, relieving some of the financial burden on overwhelmed family members and helping make medical care safer for others.

Bondi-Stoddard was reelected as treasurer of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association for 2016-17 on June 14.

The association said its initiatives include preserving and enhancing New York’s civil justice system, such as advocating for the passing of Lavern’s Law to protect patient’s rights. The proposed law would start the statute of limitations from the

Annamarie Bondi-Stoddard time a patient discovers malpractice rather than the two and a half years from the time medical malpractice occurred.

“It is a privilege to formally link with this group of dedicated attorneys who work to ensure wrongfully injured New Yorkers have access to the civil justice system, and who promote legislation to protect the rights of New Yorkers injured as a result of negligent acts,” Bondi-Stoddard said.

Bondi-Stoddard is one of a handful of female managing partners on Long Island.

In 2016, she was named an Outstanding Woman in Law

by Hofstra University School of Law’s Center for Children, Families and the Law. In April 2013, she was awarded the Corporate Leadership Recognition Award from United Cerebral Palsy of Nassau.

The Long Island Business News (LIBN) named her one of Long Island’s Top 50 Business Women in both 2012 and in 2005. Bondi-Stoddard was awarded LIBN Who’s Who in Women in Professional Services in both 2011 and 2010, and celebrated with other industry leaders when she received the LIBN “50 around 50” Award.

She has been listed in Best Lawyers since 2007, and continues to be voted by her peers for inclusion in the New York SuperLawyers, every year since 2007.

She was past president of the Long Island Women’s Agenda, has been active on the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women committee, and participated in the American Cancer Society’s former ‘‘Choose You’’ movement.

She has written extensively on medical malpractice in publications such as The New York Law Journal and lectures on patient safety and medical

malpractice for lay audiences and law industry professionals.

Her published articles include: “Smart Patient, Healthy Patient” in Long Island Women’s Agenda: Issues in Focus and “Medical Malpractice Damages in Infant Death Cases” in The New York Law Journal.

She is a member of New York State Trial Lawyers Association, Nassau-Suffolk Trial Lawyers Association, Nassau County Bar Association, the American Association for Justice, New York State Bar Association, Nassau County Women’s Bar Association and New York County Bar Association.

Bondi-Stoddard is admitted to practice law in New York and New Jersey, in the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, in the United States District Court of New Jersey, in the United States Supreme Court and the United States Court of Federal Claims.

Bondi-Stoddard moved to Port Washington in 1991 and has three children who graduated from Paul D. Schreiber High School.

“We love Port. It’s a great community,” she said.

Ex building commish to aid transition Kevin Cronin returns to town to help Highway Department as employees retire

By J oe N i k i c With a number of employee retirements expected in its Highway Department, the Town of North Hempstead is rehiring a former Building Department head to assist with the department’s transition with new employees.

Kevin Cronin, 64, left the town in May 2014 after serving as its building commissioner for six years.

“Mr. Cronin’s expertise will help us devise a smooth transition for the Highway Department, as many of our long-time employees begin to retire,” Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said. “We also hope to codify the many processes and procedures of the department so that those new employees coming on board will have knowledge of the workings of the depart-

The position pays an annual salary of $122,500, but since Cronin will only be working part-time, he will make $98,000.

Trottere said he will be working at the Highway Department four days a week.

Cronin told Newsday in 2014 that it was a personal decision to leave his town post and that he was pursuing “other interests.”

Trottere said Highway Superintendent Thomas Tiernan intends to retire soon and that Cronin is not someone the town was looking at to replace him.

Tiernan is currently on medical leave after having a knee operation.

Nassau Community placed on probation

By J oe N i k i c Six days after its Board of Trustees gave final approval to the college’s new permanent president, Nassau Community College was placed on probation Tuesday by an independent accrediting agency.

According to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education report, NCC was placed on probation because it was out of compliance with seven of the accrediting agency’s standards, including leadership, planning and financial resources.

“It is quite serious for a college or university to be placed on probation,” a Middle States spokesman, Richard Pokrass, told Newsday.

“Many institutions that have been placed on warning or probation in the past have returned to compliance in 12 to 18 months, while some have taken a bit longer.”

“The important thing to emphasize is that the time limit is real,” Pokrass added. “During the time Nassau is on probation, the commission staff will be monitoring the situation and offering advice where necessary.”

Although NCC will remain accredited, it must file a report by Nov. 1 showing how it is address-

ing the problems.

The college’s Interim president, Thomas Dolan, said that while the report was not what the college wanted, it was expected.

“We remain accredited and that’s the most important message that we need to convey right now,’’ Dolan said. “The report was not unexpected but the time frame we have been offered is very challenging. Fortunately, we had already begun work on a task force to bring us back into compliance. We must be accredited, we will be accredited. There is no choice.”

He said he appointed a 14-person task force made up of seven faculty members and seven administrators after the Middle States Commission released its April accreditation report on the college.

“We had a good sense then of what would be required of us and we are underway in developing all of those documents,” Dolan said.

He said that students and potential students at the Garden City-based institution should not fear that the school will lose its accreditation.

“The most important message must go to our current and future students,” Dolan said. “Nassau Community College remains accredited and a viable and affordable option for all students pursu-

W. Hubert Keen ing a college degree.”

Nassau Community College officials completed the final step in selecting a permanent president last Wednesday after the school’s Board of Trustees unanimously approved the outgoing Farmingdale State College president, W. Hubert Keen, as its leader.

Keen, 71, is expected to begin serving as the college’s president on Aug. 1.

“We now have a president,” the Nassau Community College board chairman, Jorge Gardyn, said to a round of applause at Wednesday’s board meeting.

Nassau Community College has been seeking a permanent president since Donald Astrab left the position in July 2012.

Dolan, formerly the Great Neck superintendent of schools, has served as interim president since September.

Keen has served as SUNY Farmingdale’s president since 2007.

On May 12, the State University of New York chancellor, Nancy Zimpher, and the SUNY Board of Trustees approved his selection by the NCC board.

“While this opportunity is not one I anticipated, it is one I am pleased to embrace, and am honored to be entrusted with NCC’s leadership,” Keen said.

While Keen’s appointment was unanimously approved 6-0, before the vote a trustee, Anthony Cornachio, voiced opposition to Keen’s contract.

“The reason being I have severe cataracts and haven’t read it. I haven’t had time to think about it,” Cornachio said. “And the first time I was aware that the contract would be presented was today in executive session.”

Gardyn said that it was the same contract that both Astrab and Dolan were given and that the board’s counsel had explained the

contract’s details in executive session.

“I think it is essential and imperative that we have this approved now,” he said. “If we don’t, then you have single-handedly stopped the process of picking a new president.”

Vice Chair Kathy Weiss said the board needed to approve the contract because it begins on Aug. 1 and the board did not have another meeting before that date.

Since four of the trustees were not at the meeting and could not vote, the board needed Cornachio’s vote for approval.

Trustees Linda Green, Wanda Jackson, Donna Tuman and Arnold Drucker were absent from Wednesday’s meeting.

After the board went into executive session during the meeting to discuss the contract with its counsel, Cornachio voted in favor of the contract, thus finalizing Keen’s appointment.

The board also voted to amend Dolan’s contract so he can help with the transition.

He pledged his “full assistance” during Keen’s transition as the school’s president.

“I can’t say enough good things about the conversations I have had with Dr. Keen,” Dolan said.

Town breaks ground on Petrus Park in Port

By S a r a h Minkewicz After a five-year campaign to rebuild Alvan O. Petrus Park, construction began Tuesday on the $1.3 million project.

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio, elected officials, community leaders and local residents joined for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Alvan Petrus Park in Port Washington.

The 50-year-old, 1.8-acre park is located on land once owned by Harbor Homes LP, but through the years it had become ill-maintained, overgrown and unusable as a recreational facil-

ity, officials said.

Bosworth said she pledged to refurbish and improve the park when she took office in 2014.

“Our goal from the beginning was to transform Alvan Petrus Park into a recreational space that can be enjoyed by residents of all ages for many years to come,” Bosworth said. “It is an exciting day for the town and for the residents of this community as we take the first step towards transforming this park into a showcase facility.”

In 2015, the land’s ownership was transferred to the town and it was dedicated as public park land.

Manorhaven clerk to be replaced, officials say

By S a r a h M i n k e w i c z Manorhaven Village Clerk Leslie Gross will be replaced by Deputy Village Clerk and Treasurer Sharon Abramski on July 1, village officials announced.

Gross, who was the village clerk for two years, said she was told by newly elected Mayor James Avena the day after the June 21 election that she would be

replaced.

Gross said she doesn’t know why she is being let go, but was told she was “overqualified for the position.”

“I do not know where I will land next,” Gross said. “No prospects at the moment.”

Gross was the Town of North Hempstead clerk from 2007 to 2013. She lost to current Town Clerk Wayne Wink, then a

Democratic Nassau County legislator. She then replaced former Manorhaven Clerk Liz Gaynor, who became the village clerk at Sands Point in Port Washington.

Gross received her bachelor’s in speech pathology and audiology at Ohio University, a master’s in education of the hearing impaired, and training as a master municipal clerk at Cornell University.

When asked why he was replacing

Gross, Avena declined to comment.

Avena won the election on June 21, receiving 505 votes, defeating former Mayor Gary Pagano, who had 371.

Avena will be sworn in as mayor on July 6 at 7 p.m. at the board’s reorganization meeting, along with Trustees Priscilla von Roeschlaub, and Ken Kraft.

Efforts to reach Abramski were unavailing.

OUR VIEWS

Ethics in Albany still an oxymoron

L

et’s just call the L.L.C loophole in the state’s campaign finance laws what it is — legal bribery. Or legal extortion. Or both.

What else would you call a system in which businesses seeking legislation worth millions of dollars to them can make unlimited campaign contributions essentially outside the public’s eye to candidates for statewide office and the state Legislature?

Gov. Cuomo recently presented — but did little to push — state legislators with eight separate options to reform the L.L.C. loophole.

The legislators chose none.

This after the recent convictions of New York’s top two legislative leaders — former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan) and former Senate leader Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Center.

Silver was sentenced to 12 years in prison for receiving kickbacks, honest service fraud and extortion. Skelos received five years in prison for bribery, extortion and conspiracy.

Both cases had a strong local flavor with New Hyde Park-based Glenwood Management Corporation playing a central in the prosecution of both Silver and Skelos.

Glenwood’s chairman Leonard Litwin was named as an unindicted coconspirator in the Skelos case Cuomo appeared to excuse Republican state senators, who have consistently opposed ending the L.L.C. loophole, saying that closing the loophole would be “tantamount to political suicide for the Republican Party in the state because they believe it ends corporate money,” according to the New York Times.

“Left unsaid,” the Times added “was that Democrats, including Mr. Cuomo have feasted on the L.L.C.

money as well.”

State law allows an individual to give as much as $60,800 a year to a candidate for statewide office, but caps corporate contribution at $5,000.

But the state Board of Elections ruled in 1991 that L.L.C.’s, limited liability corporations, which are a hybrid between a regular corporation and a partnership, would be treated like people rather than corporations.

This allowed businesses like Glendale Management to make virtually unlimited contributions to state officials by forming as many L.L.C.s as needed.

Using dozens of limited liability companies, Litwin and Glenwood directly or indirectly made at least 1,834 contributions worth $13.2 million between 2000 and 2014, according to the Gotham Gazette.

Included was $1.1 million to the New York State Senate Republican Campaign Committee and $1 million to Cuomo’s re-election bid.

Glenwood was by far the largest donor to the campaigns of Cuomo, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. Locally, Skelos received $110,000 and state Sen. Jack Martins received $45,000.

Why would Litwin and Glenwood contribute so much money?

Glenwood, which owns luxury residential towers mostly in Manhattan, benefitted by receiving up to $100 million in tax subsidies under a real-estate tax abatement called a 421-a. The program, as coincidence would have it, must be approved every four years in Albany.

Charles Dorego, a Glenwood executive, testified that the law’s continued renewal was an “abso-

lute necessity” for Glenwood.

Without it, he said, the cost of city real estate taxes — the largest component of a luxury high-rise’s operating budget — would make building such towers unfeasible, in part because lenders would not finance them.

Glenwood also benefited from another state-administered program, using it to obtain more than $1 billion in low-interest, tax-exempt bond financing since 2000, to buy land and construct eight buildings it has put up since 2001, according to testimony at Mr. Silver’s trial.

Glenwood also depended on the governor and the legislative leaders to renew favorable rent regulations that determine when a developer or landlord can shift rent-stabilized apartments to market-rate rentals.

Not exactly most people’s idea

of the free market system at work.

This is good for elected officials and developers, but not so good for taxpayers who have to either cover the cost of the tax breaks out of their pockets or receive less in benefits from the state.

Now multiply this by all the other developers with similar incentives as Glenwood’s.

And then add in all the other industries – financial services, health, insurance and legal to name a few – whose finances depend on the votes or rulings of state officials.

To make matter worse — hard to believe as that may be — are the restrictions placed on the use of campaign contributions by state legislators. Or lack thereof.

Skelos used $762,145 in campaign contributions to pay his lawyers in his corruption trial. Silver spent $1.4 million. And that was

all legal.

We would like to think that at least most contributors expect their campaign contributions go to candidates’ political campaigns — and not their criminal defense funds.

Adding insult to injury, state law also permitted both Skelos and Silver to keep their state pensions — $95,590 a year in taxpayer dollars.

The state Legislature recently voted to strip the pensions of newly elected lawmakers convicted of corruption.

But the legislation allows Skelos and Silver get to keep their pensions.

All of which is a good argument for raising legislators’ salaries, capping their outside income, publicly financing campaigns and getting rid of the L.L.C loophole.

But guess who gets to make those decisions?

To cool or not to cool, that’s a question

I

t’s finally summer. The two most basic things that we enjoy having are sunshine during the day and air-conditioning around the clock.

The weather is beyond our control.

However, when it comes to air-conditioning it is a privilege that we have and very often abuse.

In addition, if some people have their say, we may not have much electricity in the future to keep things cool.

Utility companies urge us to cut down on our use of air conditioning, but most people don’t pay attention. Many energy users will keep the air on when they leave their home, just to make sure that they will return to a cool bedroom or living room.

To keep the air flowing we need electric power and it has to come from somewhere.

Right now, we rely on either natural gas or nuclear power to generate the energy to heat and cool our homes.

There is no immediate substitute for these plants. Many of those plants are aging quickly and will have to be shut down.

So what happens then?

Environmental groups tell us that we need more solar and wind power and that those two sources will meet our energy needs.

However, if you follow the news on Long island, there isn’t much hope for either type of power.

About 10 years ago the Long Island Power Authority proposed that windmills be built out in the Atlantic Ocean not far from Jones Beach. That announcement was greeted with enormous protests.

I still remember attending two hearings on the South Shore attended by almost 1,000 people.

They complained that the windmills would kill birds and harm the fish. I learned for the first time that there was something called “visual pollution.”

The locals didn’t want wind-

Jerry Kremer Kremer’s Corner

mills because somehow they would make the ocean view ugly.

Even though many of the island’s most prestigious environmental groups supported the plan, it was eventually shelved.

Last year two private companies announced that they wanted to install solar panels on large stretches of vacant land in rural Suffolk County.

Their proposals were met with all types of opposition.

Some neighbors complained that the solar panels would be unsightly.

Others argued that they would harm property values.

This past week National Grid, as part of its carbon free program, proposed that solar panels be installed around the site that once had the Shoreham nuclear power plant.

Since the Shoreham plant was closed down in 1989 and the plant dismantled, nothing has happened with that site. Among the victims of the plant closure was the local school district and the town, both of whom relied heavily on the tax revenues.

Literally, within minutes, neighbors started complaining that the solar installation would result in trees being cut down and a variety of other empty claims.

According to National Grid, the solar farm would provide clean power for 13,000 homes and generate 72 mgw of electricity.

I am all in favor of saving

trees, but we have to get our future power from somewhere.

Many of the existing power facilities in Nassau and Suffolk counties were built before 1980 and there is a need for future power sources.

The only major solar facility on Long Island is at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. It is a model for the nation and is a source of badly needed energy as a backup for that great scientific organization.

Attempts to build another power plant at the site of the Caithness plant in Islandia have been rebuffed, even though the existing facility has been praised for its clean air qualities.

Whether our residents like it or not, the island needs new and cleaner sources of energy.

We love our air conditioning and use it freely.

But if the naysayers keep up their drumbeat of opposition, it might be wise to start buying fans like they use in those hot places that don’t have air conditioning.

Tax protests have long history

T

his June, a commemorative stamp by the U.S. Post Office celebrates “Repeal of the Stamp Act, 1766.” Two hundred fifty years ago, American colonists experienced a “rehearsal for revolution.”

Colonists’ resistance to Britain’s extreme efforts to tax and regulate them contributed to fundamental American values and practices that continue to inform our politics and democracy, down to the present day.

Some of the transformative results from that pivotal experience two and a half centuries ago include: 1. Having begun with a defense of every Englishman’s right to “No Taxation without Representation,” the colonists challenged the British view of “virtual” representation, whereby members of Parliament (which included no Americans) were said to speak for the entire Empire even though few people voted for them in England.

Colonists cited their own experience with a much more democratic system of “direct” representation, emphasizing

that the representatives whom they elected to their colonial assemblies were the only ones who could tax them.

2. This was also a logical step toward the conclusion that only local representative bodies could legislate for them, not a Parliament 3,000 miles distant.

3. Initially proud to cite their rights as “Englishmen,” colonists proceeded to claim them as linked to “natural rights,” which they shared with “all mankind.”

This view was expressed by individual colonies and then in their “national” gathering at the New York Stamp Act Congress.

4. As the “contagion of liberty” spread from colony to colony (especially fostered by the newspapers and postal service that Franklin did so much to advance), the colonists, for the first time, began referring to themselves as “Americans,” not primarily New Yorkers, Virginians, or by parochial colony identities.

They were on their way toward the motto that Franklin and Jefferson would propose in 1776: E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One).

The process of protest and

Michael D’Innocenzo Out of Left Field reform, central to American life over centuries, was both deliberative and inexorable.

Although more and more began seeing themselves as “Americans,” the colonists were reluctant revolutionaries.

Their “rehearsal” for independence spanned more than a decade, and the Stamp Act Repeal experiences set the tone and principles.

Compelling factors account for that measured process.

Because of “salutary neglect” (the Mother Country’s lack of attention and systematic rule), Britain had benefited with little

investment and effort.

But the colonies benefited even more.

They became the most advanced societies in the world, with the highest standard of living for the majority (described

by Franklin as “the happy mediocrity”), and they enjoyed the most extensive self-government of any people on the globe.

Seventy to 95 percent of white male adults were able to vote in the 1760s (varying among the 13 colonies), while no people voted in most nations, and only 10 percent of male adults could vote for Parliament.

This was accidental and circumstantial.

The voting laws in the colonies were the same ones that had been used in England since the 1400s.

In “Old World” Britain voting was based on land ownership because property was scarce; thus, only the privileged could vote.

Because land was abundant in the colonies — and people were scarce — the same laws had a diametrically opposite effect; even most white men who came to the colonies as inden-

tured servants eventually qualified as voters.

We chose to highlight the outcomes of this “rehearsal for revolution” because much more space would be needed to detail the fascinating protest processes.

However, tied to the 200th anniversary of the Stamp Act saga, editors of The New-York Historical Society Quarterly agreed to publish a two-part analysis of our study: “The Role of New-York Newspapers in the Stamp Act Crisis” [Part I, July 1967; Part II, October 1967].

Our approach used the NewYork newspapers to make comparative assessments of what was happening in the various colonies, and to track the mounting three-pronged protests.

1. Constitutional and legal arguments (including “natural rights”) were illustrated at the Stamp Act Congress in New York City, and by resolutions of individual colonies.

2. The use of economic sanctions led to pressure on Parliament by British businessmen (although the term “boycott” was not yet used).

A look on the li g hter si d e

Who are these people? Oops, they are us

W

hen I was in college, my roommates and I spent countless hours over coffee and donuts, missing deadlines and deciding what to do with our lives.

We didn’t know what jobs we would get, or where life might take us, but some things we knew for sure: “I could never live in the suburbs.”

“I’m never having kids.”

“I could never marry a man who wore polyester.”

True to our principles, we found jobs and apartments in New York City; and when we went out to dinner, we were always careful about the seating.

In fancy midtown restaurants, my friends and I would insist on changing tables to get away from crying babies, asking pointedly to be seated in the “No Screaming” section.

“Who ARE these people?”

I would demand loudly — and indignantly — of no one in particular. “Don’t they hear their chil-

dren screaming? Doesn’t it bother them? At least, they should have the decency to look embarrassed!”

Eventually, I met someone and married him.

“And does he wear polyester?” my friends asked me.

“I don’t care what he wears, as long as he’ll wash it himself,” I replied.

And it’s his fault, really, that we moved to the suburbs. He did not appreciate the charm of my Greenwich Village basement apartment.

More to the point, he couldn’t see commuting an hour each way from a place where the odds were better than even of waking up with a cockroach on your face.

It was just as well. All our other friends had already moved out of the city, and we soon grew tired of renting cars just to see them.

Soon we had a mortgage of our own.

But my metamorphosis was not complete. Not until we had a baby of our own, as well.

It was months before I took

meal while it was still warm, for the first time in months.

Emboldened by my success, I ventured farther afield...to a place with cloth napkins.

It had been a bad day — the kind when the baby is teething, and nothing you try is any help.

By the time I sat down, with a friend and her baby, I was a wreck.

“Better order quick,” our waitress warned us, “the kitchen’s about to close.”

“Bring us two of whatever you’ve got, as long as there’s fries,” we replied without looking up. We were fully occupied keeping the china away from the little ones.

Eventually, I figured out that the solution was moving the high chairs away from the table. True, then the kids were perilously close to other peoples’ tables, but they were all asking for their checks, anyway, so who cared?

The children were past the stage when throwing food on the floor would amuse them, and by now I was getting pretty cranky myself.

A Look on the Lighter Side him out in public. (Okay, it only felt that way.) But when I did, I finally saw the point of shopping malls; supermarkets; drivethrough cash machines!

Eventually, I worked up the nerve to take the baby to a diner.

I expected the worst, waiting to be pelted, by my fellow customers, with stale rolls and butter pats when he cried.

But he didn’t make a sound, and I actually got to eat a whole

I noticed a table of college kids frowning in our direction.

“What do you suppose they’re looking at?” my friend asked me.

“Who cares? Our food is here,” I replied.

At last, I discovered that re-arranging the sugar packets would amuse my child.

I had just worked out a way to eat with one hand and hold the container with the other, and he was having a lovely time picking out a couple of packets at a time and tossing them on the floor, when suddenly, the hostess swooped down on us and snatched the whole thing away.

He screamed, of course. But I didn’t bat an eyelash; I was almost done with my burger.

“I think they don’t want kids here,” my friend whispered.

I was indignant. “Then what do they have high chairs for, if they don’t want babies in this place? What do they expect, opening a restaurant in the suburbs?

Who are these people, anyway?”

Prez pick shouldn’t define candidate

W

hether it’s in politics, business, or personal relationships, there are times where we have to judge people and determine who deserves our trust.

My experience is the best way to judge someone is to look at everything they’ve already done — how they’ve conducted themselves when faced with adversity and how they have worked with others to resolve common issues.

Over the past nearly six years, I’ve actively worked on measures that cut income taxes for residents and small businesses to their lowest levels in decades (twice); repealed the MTA payroll tax for small businesses and schools; passed the property tax cap; controlled state spending; dramatically increased state education aid for our local schools; secured funding and advanced measures to protect our waters here on Long Island; enacted a paid family leave program here in New York; enhanced economic development and opportunities for workers and workforce development; fought against anti-Semitism; and enacted laws to combat the growing heroin epidemic ravaging our communities.

All of this was done without raising a single tax or fee.

Most importantly, all of these measures were achieved through bipartisanship, working across the aisle and finding common ground.

Positive results always come before partisan politics in my book.

Regardless of whether something is a Republican idea or a Democratic idea, if it’s the right idea, then let’s come together and get it done.

No one taking an honest look at my tenure as a state senator, or before that as mayor of Mineola, can say that I haven’t worked across the aisle and that I haven’t made a positive difference in what we have achieved.

Locally, I have worked with our communities, villages, towns, school districts, emergency responders, parents and students to address local concerns. Whether it’s marshaling state resources for local needs or lending my voice to a local effort, again I have been there working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make a positive difference.

Both parties’ utter failure to work together in Washington have put this country on the wrong path.

Considering the serious issues we face, from the economy to na-

tional security, that dysfunction concerns me greatly.

People expect and demand better, and they’re right. We need more representatives that value results more than gridlock. That’s why I’m running for Congress.

The publisher of this paper recently wrote an over the top diatribe because I responded to a reporter’s question that, as a Republican, I would be voting for the Republican Party’s nominee for President.

That he disagrees with me is his right.

That he didn’t even attempt to discuss it with me himself and instead made unfounded assumptions based on his own personal views without giving my actual record any real consideration is not.

He should know better.

However you may feel about the choices this year for President, for either party, each of us has the right to choose for ourselves how we will vote and why.

Further, that choice does not and cannot be interpreted as a wholesale embrace of that person’s policies, statements, or positions.

The publisher knows that, which makes his comments and attack that much more troubling

— it is just such things that have created the hyper-partisan atmosphere so many of us despise.

The rush to judge someone based on a label or a preconceived bias. It’s the reason that Washington is mired in gridlock. And it has to stop.

Thankfully I do have a record of accomplishment.

I have been endorsed by this paper and others for my work in government and the positive results I have championed.

I have been elected and reelected because the residents of my senate district have seen those efforts and results first hand.

I will not be labeled, compartmentalized or defined by a single answer to a single question.

I am a Republican.

I believe in fiscal responsibility; I believe in opportunity for all through work; I believe in the dignity of work; I believe that we must care for those most in need and provide for them; I believe that education is a civil right but that with rights come responsibilities; I believe that we must protect our environment for our children and our posterity; I believe that opportunities in our economy must be available to all; I believe that we must develop a rational

national immigration policy; I believe that we must protect our country and our residents from the onslaught of radical Islamic terrorism; I believe in background checks for gun purchases and heightened penalties for those who would purchase and use guns illegally; I believe that we have a heroin epidemic that requires mobilization and a national effort to curtail; and I believe that there is no Republican way or Democratic way to get these things done. We must find common ground and work together. I have done so all my years in government and will continue to do so.

I am a candidate for Congress to bring my experience and abilities to addressing the pressing issues facing our nation. I am well suited to the task of working across the aisle to get results.

This paper’s publisher appears all too eager to fuel the partisan polarization that has gripped our national politics.

That’s a shame, because he knows better and our community certainly deserves a lot better than that.

Money drives political decisions

W

hen you listen to the constant chatter and debate around certain social issues such as guns or climate change or immigration, just to name a few, don’t you often wonder how the two sides — right and left; liberal and conservative — Democratic and Republican can have such strong opposing views of the same issue?

These issues should not be dividing us.

On the contrary; they should be uniting us but the special interests help fuel the division.

But why?

Stop wondering. Once we clear the smoke, it’s not all that complicated.

We can either believe what the lobbyist and the money interests and some politicians on both sides of the isle would like the dialogue to be about; or we can just follow the money.

Guns is a good example.

The NRA and their lackeys in Washington would like to change the debate about gun violence and make us believe it’s a 2nd Amendment issue or about terrorists or listen to the latest. Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House of Represen-

tatives, wants to make sure that we do not deprive the Constitutional due process under the law of people who are on the government’s terrorist watch list or no fly list.

Now who would argue against due process?

But his and the NRA’s real concern is the bottom line of gun manufacturers.

The NRA and other like-minded organizations spend millions of dollars on greasing the skids and the palms of blood sucking politicians who keep the debate centered around passionate issues such as the Constitution and terrorism. However; the common dominator of gun violence; pure and simple are guns.

The loyalty that these politicians such as Paul Ryan have to their benefactors is greater than their love of country. Just follow the money.

Climate change.

I’ve scratched my head for a long time wondering how some people deny that climate change is real even though climate change is changing our world in profound ways?

The majority of the world’s scientific community will attest to

it and there is enough evidence to prove it but there are enough skeptics who say that it is not happening.

Well it’s time to follow the money again. The money interests and their blood sucking backers in Washington would like to change the dialogue and claim that climate change is caused by God and is not man made.

If you’re trying to wrap your head around climate change, don’t consult Donald Trump.

“I am not a believer,” the Republican presidential candidate said on a radio show last September. “Unless somebody can prove something to me, I believe it’s weather.”

Sadly, Trump isn’t alone.

Approximately six in 10 Republicans including two-thirds of Tea Party members and nearly 24 percent of Democratic congressmen say that climate change is a minor problem or not a problem at all.

Although 97 percent of climate scientists insist climate change is real and caused by human actions, a significant number of members in the Senate and Congress deny these atmospheric changes, ac-

cording to Think Progress.

Some conservative commentators have gone so far as to describe climate change as a “hoax.”

Why on earth would they do that?

Well it’s that sacred bottom line again.

If a business leader has a vested financial interest in fossil fuels, or is in manufacturing and his plant is spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; there’s a good chance he won’t want to acknowledge the threat of climate change, because doing so would force him to address some uncomfortable questions about how he might be contributing to environmental destruction; which may impact his bottom line.

It’s a lot cheaper to hire lobbyists and grease the palms of blood sucking politicians than to “clean up” their act.

Immigration. Now there’s a complicated social issue or maybe not so complicated.

Guess what? It’s time to just follow the money again.

The blood suckers in Washington would like us to believe that immigrants are taking away our jobs. They want to protect us by

building walls; they want to stop them from coming over the border; they want to deport them.

That’s going to protect our jobs?

Wrong again my friends. It’s the titans of industry who are to blame for the lack of jobs not Mexican immigrants.

These short-sighted titans of industry who have decimated our capacity to manufacture who have decimated towns and cities across our country who no longer have industries that they once had because their jobs have been moved and given away to foreign workers. They are the culprits who are to blame.

Now why did they do that and continue to do so and why do their backers in Washington continue to want to cloud the issue and change the dialogue?

Well, because their loyalty to their contributors who only care about their sacred bottom line is greater than their love of country.

I guess we just have to keep on following the money!

A successful, finger-lickin’ good fundraiser

T

hank you, thank you, thank you.

Sunday, May 22nd was Alper’s True Value Karmacue — the 8th annual BBQ festival on Irma Avenue in Port Washington. And what a enjoyable day it was!

Alpers hosted one of the largest crowds ever for this important fundraiser.

The results of the day are tallied, and the reviews for the event are unanimous — it was the best Karmacue to date!

Sam Alper opened his store in 1911 as a jewelry store, and while much has changed since, the Alpers True Value Hardware family continues to be an extraordinary example of a Port business giving back to the community.

Karmacue, the brain child of Adam Novick (a fourth generation Alper) is designed to bring the Port community together in the spirit of good “Karma”, to eat yummy BBQ for a great cause.

Alpers donates 100 percent of the proceeds of the festival (over $30,000 to date) to the Community Chest of Port Washington, a venerable Port charity.

In its 67 years, the Community Chest has helped well over 100,000 residents and given out over $5 million in grants.

The success of Karmacue is shared by many, and I’d like to take a moment now to thank you all. From the attendees, sponsors, musicians and Port Washington Crisis Relief Team volunteers to ALL

others who donated their time — I am in awe of your generosity. I especially want to thank Robyn Croutch and Michael Schwartzman, who functioned as the day’s MC and the Cook-Off’s work judge, respectively, who assisted Adam throughout the day.

A special thank you to the Town of North Hempstead for use of the Showmobile, the street closure permit and for its cooperation throughout the year.

Your ongoing support is the essence of true partnership.

I would be remiss if I did not thank the eight BBQ teams, who perfected their spice rubs, arrived at 4 a.m. and who cooked ribs for 1,000 people on their own

time.

Lastly, my abiding gratitude to Adam Novick and the entire Alpers Hardware family and staff for embracing this tradition and committing their time and energy to the People of Port.

Port Washington is a magical town, whose kindness and beauty is often lost on those who are struggling.

I count my blessings that I am surrounded by the dedication, concern and generosity of so many.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Clinton, Trump have much to answer for

I

was considering whether or not to write anything this week. Yet, to have my say is the democratic way.

If I don’t and do not like the outcome of things, there is nothing more that I can say.

I read the article about the New Hyde Park Fire Department; The man with a Florida address yet collecting from two fire departments, one in Suffolk County.

He is said to be so defiant about not having to abide by the

laws.

Then there is Trump running for president. It is said that two cases against his university, one filed in Texas and one in Florida were dropped after he contributed to two campaigns.

His other financial shenanigans are quite well known.

Then there is Hillary and her hubby Bill with such a murky past including the Vince Foster episode.

Hilary has her rah rah rah

supporters that think much more of having a woman president than they do of their country. Ignorance abounds.

With her as president we might find out how much of our country has been sold out to foreign powers due to contributions to her foundation.

I am not going to start on the primary voter fraud except it is not the first time voter fraud has determined an election outcome.

Most everywhere one looks

including every level in New York State one sees so much of what I am calling political prostitution.

As humans, we have free will and in a healthy state have conscience and the normal feeling of shame for wrongdoing.

Once a breach has been created within a human being one becomes like a cunning beast.

In a sense worse as Mother Nature guides and keeps the animal realm in check.

The human race has been

given a list of sins that are considered to be deadly. This may well be true.

The two presidential candidates may well come tumbling down this summer.

There may also be enough voters wanting to independently elect Bernie Sanders who is honest and arrow straight.

We will see.

Train to LaGuardia headed for trouble

I

nitiation of construction for the new $4 billion plus LaGuardia Airport missed current status of the accompanying Train to the Plane project.

The original project sponsor Gov. Andrew Cuomo and supporters continue to be overly optimistic concerning building a train to the plane for LaGuardia Airport.

Success for this project is dependent upon the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Metropolitan Transportation Authority working well together.

Fifteen years after 9/11, the Cortland Street World Trade Center No. 1 IRT subway station is still several years away from being back in service.

If there are no new delays, perhaps the station will reopen by December 2018.

The PANYNJ & MTA fought for years over budget, funding sources, scope and schedule. Construction for the MTA portion of the project just started only months ago.

Everyone has long forgotten that the successful PANYNJ Air Train, which currently runs between the LIRR Jamaica Station and Kennedy Airport was supposed to continue proceeding north along the Van Wyck Expressway and connect with LaGuardia Airport.

The PANYNJ did not have suffecient funding to complete the original full scope of the project.

This original extension to LaGuardia Airport could also have connected with the LIRR and No. 7 subway line at the Mets - Willets Point Station.

Construction primarily within existing highway right of way would have eased any local community opposition from those who owned homes and or businesses adjacent to the route.

Too bad the PANYNJ choose instead to spend billions in non transportation investments during this same time period instead of completing the Air Train to LaGuardia Airport.

The estimated cost of $450 million for construction of LaGuardia Air Train is just a concept based upon a planning feasibility study.

Eighteen months have passed since Cuomo announced this project with no known progress to date.

There are no environmental documents or any preliminary design and engineering efforts necessary to validate any actual construction costs.

They will be refined as projects progress beyond the planning and environmental phases into real and final design

efforts.

Value engineering which is a process used to reduce costs will be used during the final design phase.

Unfortunately, history has shown that estimated costs for construction usually trend upwards as projects mature toward 100 percent final design.

Progression of final design refines the detailed scope of work necessary to support construction.

The anticipated final potential cost for LaGuardia Airtrain could end up several hundred million dollars above Cuomo’s estimated figure of $450 million.

Costs will be further refined by award of construction contracts followed by any unforeseen site conditions and change orders to the base contracts during the course of construction.

There will be significant conflicts when the LaGuardia Airtrain is built and open for service with connections to both the Mets Willets Point subway and LIRR stations.

Why would any Nassau or Suffolk LaGuardia Airport bound travelers with luggage attempt to squeeze in on already packed AM & PM rush hour No. 7 subway and LIRR trains?

Gov. Cuomo apparently never consid-

ered how this issue will be resolved when contemplating this project.

Cuomo in 2014 promised that the LaGuardia Airtrain would be up and running within 5 years or by 2019.

Now he has said this will occur by 2021.

To build a train to the plane from Mets - Willets No. 7 subway and Long Island Rail Road station to LaGuardia Airport within five years for $450 million as promised by Cuomo is a planners dream.

In reality it will be a nightmare for both taxpayers and riders. You can count on cost overruns in the hundreds of millions and multiyear delays in construction before reaching beneficial use.

Perhaps Great Neck News and Blank Communications can a run a contest.

Readers can guess the future opening service day date.

I’ll take April 1, 2025.

Winner gets a free ticket to ride.

correction The June 24 editorial “Suozzi Dems’ best pick for 3rd” gave incorrect information about North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan’s legal background. She graduated from Cardozo School of Law but is not a member of the bar and has not practiced law.

Continued from Page 18 One key petition by merchants to Parliament began: “We don’t pretend to understand your American matters, but our trade has been hurt.

Pray remedy it: and a plague on you if you won’t.”

3. Mass demonstrations by the Sons of Liberty (joined by the often neglected “Daughters of Liberty”) produced crowds in the thousands, unprecedented at any previous time in America. Numbers always count.

As the renowned historian Carl Becker showed, the process of protest and revolution had a dual dimension.

First, its goal was to secure the rights of Englishmen, as colonists understood them. Learning that the liberty that they had known could not be guaranteed by the Mother Country, they reluctantly struck for independence. Along the way, the three-pronged protests continued —

and expanded — so Becker’s view of the second “Revolution” (beyond “Redcoats Go Home”) became a “Battle Over Who Should Rule at Home.”

Advanced as the colonists and their governments were in a comparative global context, Americans, affected by the 1760s Stamp Act Crisis, challenged the politics of deference and worked to replace them with more popular sovereignty at every level.

The Postal commemoration of 1766 Stamp Act Repeal is a reminder that Jefferson often referred to an expanding “Empire of Liberty,” and that Lincoln frequently cited Jefferson’s views as a continuing beacon for all who strive for inclusive democracy.

D’Innocenzo and Turner were Columbia classmates; their historical writing spans half a century. [Website cited in Mike’s previous column should be BillMoyers.com] Letters Continued on Page 53

Port holds first Special Needs Walk

By S a r a h M i n k e w i c z

Although the skies were threatening rain during the Special Needs Walk along the Hempstead Harbor Shoreline Trail on Saturday, attendance did not suffer, officials said.

“We were so pleased with the participation of the various special needs communities who attended,” said Lisa Grossman, director of development for Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington. “Its flat terrain makes it perfect for people of any age or most any physical ability to take a leisurely stroll through the woods with frequent views of Roslyn Harbor. We were also so happy that residents of the Helen Keller National Center were able to join us.”

The event, organized by Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington and Spectrum Designs, an apparel shop in Port Washington, was held on May 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is to occur annually.

Officials said the event was to raise awareness for adults and children of all ages with special needs and to increase awareness and use of the Shoreline Trail, which opened in May 2015.

The Shoreline Trail is a 1.25-mile trail that begins at the southern entrance to North Hempstead Beach Park.

A gazebo near the boat ramp and boathouses marks the trail head.

The participants and their friends, family members and caregivers walked all or part of the trail, participated in

“When Lisa called to suggest this event to team up on, I thought it was a brilliant idea,” said Stella Spanakos, director of development for Spectrum Designs and Nicholas Center. “Spectrum and Nicholas Center are always looking for new experiences for our teens and

young adults. This was a wonderful way to explore nature.”

Aside from engaging special needs communities and generating awareness of the trail, the event created another activity for a separate special needs group, Grossman said.

“Before the event, we reached out to AHRC Nassau to request help in cleaning the trail of debris beforehand,” Grossman

added. “They enjoyed it so much that they are doing cleanups on the trail on a regular basis.” For information about Residents For a More Beautiful Port Washington, visit presidents.org or call 767-9151.

Boat tours to give history of waters

By J oe N i k i c Great Neck Historical Society president Alice Kasten said the society has always looked for ways to better educate the community on the places of interest surrounding the Stepping Stones Lighthouse.

The society’s newest idea, Kasten said, is to take people on a boat tour around the lighthouse.

“The truth is that the lighthouse is in the center of a huge amount of history,” she said.

“There are islands all around and other things all around that people don’t know about and they should be made aware of.”

On July 10 and Aug. 21, the historical society will be hosting “Circle of History” boat tours to the areas surrounding the Stepping Stones Lighthouse.

Kasten said there would be two tours each day, one beginning at 1 p.m. and the other starting at 2:30 p.m.

She said the boat tours would be narrated by a guide and will show passengers historically significant areas such as the lighthouse itself, Hart Island, City Island, the Merchant Marine

Academy, the various bridges in the area and more.

“We thought this would be a good thing to do and a good thing so that people who were interested in the area can realize there is more to it,” Kasten said.

She said the society would like to take passengers to the lighthouse itself, but because it is in disrepair and unsafe, the group can only bring people close to the structure.

The lighthouse was built in 1877 and was updated in 1944.

The Town of North Hempstead acquired ownership of the lighthouse, which sits about 1,600 yards off the shore of Kings Point, from the U.S. Coast Guard in 2008 as part of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act, agreeing to submit yearly reports to the National Park Service on “any capital improvements to preserve and restore the structure within its historical accuracy.”

In April, Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth announced that the town was awarded a $165,000 National Park Service grant for the restoration of the Stepping Stones Lighthouse.

Town officials have said problems with the building include the outward shifting of the base’s foundation blocks and a crack in the basement floor leading to open water.

Additionally, the brick and granite on the top of the northern side of the lighthouse are leaning outward and roof damage caused by deteriorating gutters has affected the structure significantly.

Kasten said proceeds from the boat tours will go towards matching the park service grant.

She said the society will use Port Washington Water Taxi boats for the tours, which hold up to 30 passengers including the tour guide.

Tickets cost $50 per passenger to go on the boat tour and $40 for Great Neck Historical Society members.

Those interested in going on the tour can purchase tickets by calling the Great Neck House at 482-0355 or going to its location at 14 Arrandale Ave. While tickets are almost sold out, Kasten said the historical society is looking at adding a third day to the boat tours if there is enough interest.

Stepping Stones Lighthouse She said that to add a third day the society would need to find more sponsors due to the costs of operating a boat.

Currently, Kasten said, the boat tours have received funds from AvalonBay Communities, First Capital Equities, Stepping Stone Sailing Club and Port Washington Yacht Club.

She said the tours were open to people across the town, not just those from Great Neck.

“The lighthouse belongs to

all of us in the town,” Kasten said. “The ride stresses the history of the whole area around the lighthouse and we’d love to have the community support.”

She said that she hopes the immediate interest the historical society has gotten for the boat tours can lead to a continuation of the program in the future.

“We love that people are so interested,” Kasten said. “I’m sure we will do it again next year with different sites.”

Manhasset graduates move on to take next step b y G a b r i e ll e D e o n a t h I’m somewhat proud that I took a risk Jason Fiacco, valedictorian at Manhasset High School’s 96th annual commencement on Friday, recalled the first risk he took as a 4-year-old. Fiacco said that as he watched his father inflate basketballs with a handheld pump, he thought he could become smarter by making his brain bigger. With this goal in mind, he took the nozzle of the pump, put it in his ear, and began to pump air through it. The result, Fiacco said, was a broken eardrum and a trip to the emergency room.

“My basketball pumping ear experiment was really the first time I could remember experiencing failure and disappointment, and it surely wasn’t the last,” Fiacco said. “Whenever I tell this story,

and pursued my idea, despite the fact that it didn’t work out. Taking a chance and diving into the unknown might lead to failure, but it’s the only way to see if you’ll succeed.”

Kevin Gleason, class president, also touched upon the theme of success and failure in his address, citing historical figures like Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. who faced major setbacks in their lifetime, but were ultimately successful in their efforts and made great impacts.

“Although you may be tempted by material goals – making lots of money or driving fancy cars – remember that true happiness is the result of having a passion and never giving up if you have Continued on Page 60

New Art League photo exhibition takes a look at life on the Island

T

he Art League of Long Island’s juried exhibition “The Long Island Life” asked photographers to capture the essence of what living on Long Island meant to them.

In this competitive exhibition, juror Neill Scholl selected 60 photos out of 366 images submitted.

The exhibit will be on view in the Art League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery July 2 through July 24.

The artists’ reception takes place Sunday, July 10 from 1 to 3 p.m.

On Thursday, July 14 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in a lecture by Neill Scholl titled “Photography as DNA Art: Driven to Record”, the juror will discuss his work and the work of historical LI photographer Hal Fullerton. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Scholl first became interested in photography as a teenager in the 1940s.

His early work, produced during the 1950s and ‘60s, focused on New York City and its environs, often transforming the geometry

of the viewed setting into formal abstraction.

After moving to Long Island, Scholl began to concentrate on landscape photography, revealing a

strong commitment to the environment and concern with suburbanization and human encroachment on the natural wilderness.

His work is included in the per-

manent collection of the Heckscher Museum in Huntington.

In addition to his work as an artist, Scholl has promoted the arts in numerous other ways.

Most recently, he partnered with the Suffolk County Historical Society to recover and restore the glass plate negatives of early 20th-century Long Island photographer Hal B. Fullerton. As a result of these efforts, the Heckscher Museum exhibited thirty-two of Fullerton’s works from April to August of 2013.

Scholl curated, together with Peter Dicke, “Fullerton’s Long Island; The Lure of the Land,” currently on exhibit and featuring 70 large prints of Fullerton photographs in the Grand Staas Gallery of the Suffolk County Historical Society.

The Art League of Long Island is located at 107 East Deer Park Road in Dix Hills.

The gallery is open to the public, free of charge, Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on weekends 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For more information about the Art League visit www.artleagueli. org or call (631) 462-5400.

Let’s not barbecue on the Fourth of July I don’t know why everyone thinks they have to barbecue on July Fourth?

Why not break the stereotype and make a delicious meal that allows you to enjoy your guests instead of standing over a very hot grill.

The following menu is easy to prepare, but requires a slow cooker (you can even plug the slow cooker in outside, if you have access to an outlet) and the rice is made in a rice cooker.(I plug my rice cooker in my outdoor outlet too.)

See the June 23 article in The Island Now for more information on cooking rice in a rice cooker.

The rest of the meal just requires washing and assembly.

Finish off this easy meal with store-bought ice cream and you have a new tradition for the Fourth of July.

No one will ever miss the hamburgers and hot dogs.

And, you will not miss sweating over the fire. Trust me!

Menu Serves 8 Slow Cooker Beef or Chicken in Lettuce Wraps Rice* Carrots, Spiralized Cucumbers, Sliced* Seaweed Salad* Chili Dipping Sauce* Soy and Sesame Dipping Sauce *Recipe Not Given (NOTE: Seaweed Salad and Chili Dipping Sauce are available at Asian Supermarkets, like Shin Nippon in Roslyn, H-Mart at various locations or North Shore Farms, various locations) Slow Cooker Beef or Chicken Lettuce Wraps (You may easily make this with chicken or beef, I made chicken and beef to offer a choice to my guests) Cooking Spray 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices 4 garlic cloves, crushed

Nassau County and TD Bank are together sponsoring “Celebrate America,” a fireworks show and concert at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park Eisenhower Park on Saturday, July 2.

The fireworks, presented by the Long Island based Grucci family, are part of a night in Eisenhower Park which kicks off with a performance by The Steam Punk Pirates and Killer Joe and the Lido Soul Revue.

“The annual Fireworks Show and Concert here in beautiful Eisenhower Park is a great opportunity for our residents to come

out and enjoy this ‘World Class’ fireworks show,” stated Nassau Count Executive Edward P. Mangano.

The theatre area gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and the fireworks will begin at nightfall (approx. 9:30 p.m.).

Tickets are required for admission to the Theatre area and are available free of charge, at any TD Bank on Long Island, while supplies last.

There is no formal seating; visitors should bring blankets or chairs.

Space is limited and overflow will be directed to other viewing and parking areas.

Works from S. Africa on display at Adelphi Handcrafted Imports and Barnes Gallery, both of Garden City, announced last week a curated exhibit to be held at Adelphi University through July 28.

The exhibit, “Artists of Cape Town”, may be viewed at the Ruth S. Harley University Center Gallery between the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The exhibit will feature the original ceramic artwork of three artists from Cape Town, South Africa: Dragana Jevtovic, Siyabonga and Toni Burton of Zizamele Ceramics.

Every piece by Dragana Jevtovic is uniquely decorated by hand, and often includes African motives: birds, feathers and geckos.

Shunning ready-made commercial products, she mixes her own cobalt blue and tawny underglaze colors.

Her cobalt Blue Guinea Fowl design, inspired by Dutch and Chinese tradition and interpreted with a vision which owes much to her European heritage, depicts the quaint, indigenous African guinea fowl that abound in the gardens and parks of Cape Town.

Each vibrant and colorful piece, created and signed by Dragana, is a unique work of art, according to a press release.

From humble beginnings in the township of Guguletha, Siyabonga grew up surrounded by creativity.

With a father and two brothers who were passionate about art, Siyabonga’s love for painting began at an early age.

Each piece by Siyabonga is uniquely

decorated by hand and includes African themes inspired by the sunset, desert and sea of the motherland.

Toni Spiller Burton, founder of Zizamele Ceramics, hails from KwaZulu-Natal.

She studied at Michaelis School of Fine Art where she majored in Ceramics and History of Art. Toni oversees and trains a group of local artists who are members of the local Xhosa tribe.

The signature creation of Zizamele Ceramics is the Bambanani Bowl.

The design displays a group of women in colorful clothing all supporting one another by touching hands and dressed in the traditional South African head covering or scarf, very symbolic of the lovely Xhosa women.

Handcrafted Imports (www.handcraftedimports.com) was founded by Eleanor Poppe of Garden City and Etienne Pieterse of Cape Town, South Africa, to bring the works of talented artists in South Africa to the United States, according to a press release.

Through a partnership with Greg Schnoor, owner of Barnes Gallery, an extensive selection of artwork is on display and available for purchase at the gallery at 2 Nassau Blvd, Garden City. Select items are also available for purchase at the Smithsonian African Museum of Art in Washington, D.C. To view glimpses of the exhibit online, please visit art-galleries.adelphi.edu. Find us on social media: Facebook: Adelphi Exhibitions, and Twitter/Instagram: @AUExhibitions.

His imagery draws upon pop icons, media advertising and consumer culture of the 1960s, including TV cartoon characters such as the Flintstones and the Jetsons. Curated by Director Karl E. Willers and the Museum’s staff, Kenny Scharf showcases major paintings and sculptures from throughout the artist’s career.

Highlights of this exhibition are the expansive mural Pop Renaissance that surrounds the viewer, a version of the artist’s Cosmic Cavern club-like environment, as well as a recreation of the artist’s former Brooklyn studio complete with spattered walls, painted furniture and other workspace ephemera.

Community Concert Band opens 86th season The Port Washington Community Concert Band will begin it’s 86th season of evening July concerts at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, July 1 at the John Philip Sousa Memorial Band Shell in Sunset Park on the shore of beautiful Manhasset Bay just north of the Town Dock.

Begun in 1931, the concert band, now under the able direction of Aaron Prindle, actually carries on an even longer tradition, as the heirs and successors to the turn of the century Port Washington Brass Band, which marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in newly elected President Theodore Roosevelt’s inaugural parade.

That band seems to have been quit popular. Upon spotting them from the reviewing stand, President Roosevelt leapt to his feet exclaiming, “That’s my band!” He then stepped down off the platform and enthusiastically shook the hand of each and every bandsman. Their concerts drew wide notice and they soon transitioned into the Nassau County Brass Band.

Although Nassau no longer has an official band, Port’s own band plays on.

The July 1 concert will mark the anniversary of the country by paying tribute to “Americana.” This will be followed on three successive Friday evenings with a July 8 program that will guide the audience through “New Frontiers.” Their July 15 concert will be “Brought to You By the Letter B” The four-concert series will end on July 22 with a mid-season crescendo marking “Summer’s Sunset.”

The Port Washington Community Concert Band was actually the inspiration for Mrs. Gay Pearsall in 1963 when she first envisioned a band shell to commemorate the legacy and music of “March

King” John Philip Sousa. At the time, Port’s band had been performing their summer concerts on an open platform set up under the hot sum on the Town Dock.

While Mrs. Pearsall wished to honor Lieutenant Commander Sousa by honoring his extensive body of stirring marches, she also wished to give the town’s band a suitable and acoustically appropriate venue to continue playing annual summer band concerts and to give their audiences a shady nook from which to enjoy them.

And so was born the non-governmental John Philip Sousa Memorial Band Shell which is now celebrating it’s fiftieth concert season.

The most important mission of the Port Washington Community Concert Band is to warmly welcome talented members of our current Schreiber High School Band to join the community band’s ranks that consist of professional musicians, band directors and music educators, members and alumni from both

professional and other community bands, as well as alumni from college bands and Schreiber and other high school bands.

Over the years, however, the band’s generous sponsorship by the Port Washington Schools Summer Music Program has created a false impression that the community band is a diminished summer subset of the Schreiber High School Band itself, rather than the vibrant, polished community band that performs in Port each July.

Program, a re-grant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council, Inc. The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy will present cultural performances throughout the summer and fall. Composer’s Night, a series for emerging artists, continues on July 21, with the Bobby Katz Quintet. On July 30, the North

Shore Music Festival will present Puccini’s great opera, “Madama Butterfly” – the evening includes dinner and spans both Hempstead House and Castle Gould for a new experience at the Preserve.

This year, the Village Day Fall Festival is set for Oct. 16, just in time for the autumn harvest. October brings the second annual Haunted Halloween Mansion with a Masked Gala on October 21, and Tiger-Fried Productions will present Agatha Christie’s murder mystery “And Then There Were None” in Hempstead House in November.

To purchase tickets for all cultural events, call the ticket line at 516.304.5076. To purchase a 12-month membership, visit www.TheSandsPointPreserve.org, call 516-571-7901 or visit the Gate House at 127 Middle Neck Road, Sands Point, NY, 11050. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sands Point Preserve Conservancy is a non-profit organization with the mission to protect and preserve the 216-acre waterfront grounds and historic mansions and to provide a range of cultural arts events in Hempstead House and Castle Gould and educational programs for families and schools in the Phil Dejana Learning Center and Outdoor Classroom.

Dance Visions NY to perform in Sands Point

Hempstead House and its surrounding grounds has long been a welcome venue for the performing arts, and on Sunday, July 10 at 3 p.m., Dance Visions NY joins the mix.

Under the direction of Beth Jucovy, the company honors the legendary choreographer Isadora Duncan’s groundbreaking dance aesthetics and techniques, which were created in the same era in which the Guggenheim Estate was established. With the historic mansion and Rose Garden as its stage, the company of 10 dancers performs a combination of Duncan’s works as well as site-specific contemporary, original works.

The July 10 program, “When Nature Dances,” highlights the Preserve’s distinct setting, with dances performed both outdoors and indoors. Outdoor works include authentic Isadora Duncan dances of Nature and Classical Greek art and mythology created between 1905 and 1927.

Among these works are “The Tribute to the Greek Gods” to Schubert’s Symphony in C, Strauss’s Roses from the South, and Nature-themed Chopin, Brahms and Schubert waltzes, etudes and mazurkas.

Jucovy’s original works are among the afternoon’s highlights, paying tribute to Duncan’s technique as it evolved

over time. Jucovy’s award-winning piece, “Through the Portals,” presented indoors, features projections of the original paintings of visual artist Susan Ruth Cohen.

The program also includes classical and neoclassical dances that fully complement the natural setting of the Preserve.

Admission is $10 per person for Sands Point Preserve Conservancy members, and $20 for non-members.

The program is made possible in part with funds from the Decentralization

Weber students act in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Curtain’s Up production of Beauty and the Beast, Jr. had two performances at Weber Middle School.

More than 40 talented kids sang, acted and danced up a storm on the Weber stage to large and enthusiastic audiences.

Directors Allison Friedman and Stacey Medford had been rehearsing with the young actors since March. High School students, Emma Goldman and Valentina Scotto, worked hard as the stage manag-

ers of this large, multi-faceted musical production and Alexandra DeAngelis was the assistant director.

Additionally, many theater and drama students from Weber Middle School assisted with the sets, costumes, and props.

Curtain’s Up: A Musical Theatre Experience was founded In 2014 by Allison Friedman and Stacey Medford . This unique and popular afterschool program

is funded entirely by the non-profit organization HEARTS. Curtain’s up debut stage production, “The Wiz”, performed to sold out audiences and rave reviews in November 2014. Middle School and High School students worked backstage and assisted Allison and Stacey in many aspects of the production. Emily Baxter and Lauren Blank staged a very successful musical workshop production in 2015 that was performed in multiple venues.

OUR TOWN

Stores reflect Brits’, Americans’ differences We will celebrate the 4th of July this weekend with barbecues and fireworks.

But burgers and booms don’t really tell us much about the essence of this national holiday.

Independence Day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock and 52 others.

It begins with the sentence “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

But the real essence of this holiday is that we had the courage to separate.

In 1765 the Stamp Act and the Townsend Act created serious animosity between the colonies and the British Empire and the colonies were at war by 1775.

Since that time America has grown and prospered and now is the greatest of all world powers.

We all have a deep pride in being American with all of our energy

and optimism.

Thus all those fireworks.

It may prove edifying to explore some of our British heritage since most of the settlers who came to the American colonies were from England.

This means that a large part of our character on the deepest level is British.

What is the American character, what is the British character and how are we the same?

Let’s take an anthropological excursion to the Americana Manhasset shopping center to compare an American brand versus a British brand and see what we learn.

I am of course referring to the Ralph Lauren store and Burberry’s.

When you gaze at a Ralph Lauren shirt you will see one thing, a guy on a horse playing polo. This implies lots of speed, energy and sportiness. And it’s also about the acquisition of class.

The Declaration of Independence may say ‘all men are created equal’ but Americans seem to be making great efforts to find

Dr. Tom Ferraro Our Town

some class.

Indeed, a polo player represents pure class and polo is referred to as the sport of kings.

When I walk down the promenade at the Americana Manhasset heading east away from Ralph Lauren you soon come upon Burberry’s a penultimate British store.

Burberry is a British luxury brand with headquarters in London. It was established in 1856 as a maker of outerwear and most people immediately associate Burberry with their tartan plaid check on scarves, trench coats and high end handbags.

The tartan print is taken from Scottish clans and symbolizes both authority and gentility.

When you look at these brands face to face you can see that the Polo brand represents youth, energy, movement and risk taking.

What is more risky than riding atop a galloping horse and trying to hit a little ball with a long stick.

This reflects the American spirit even more than the Marlboro man.

The Burberry tartan pattern symbolizes something older, more solid, orderly, authoritarian and upper class.

One can feel a solid British essence of manners and etiquette and refined culture in that pattern.

In the most famous essay on American character, written in 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville suggested Americans were ‘exceptional’ in our down to earth practicality and our energy and our naïve hopefulness. All still true.

But I can’t help but feel that we could use some more of that

old-fashioned British etiquette and gentility to soften the edges.

Maybe then we would have less cursing and less anger.

We do well to celebrate the 4th of July with barbecues and with fireworks but it doesn’t hurt to think back to our British roots at this time of year and maybe even emulate some of those British good manners. I bet it would make our daily life better, our business more successful and even help out with our embattled international reputation as well.

I’ll see you soon at Ralph Lauren or Burberry’s.

Take your pick.

American roots can still be seen in our British legacy.

Port Times used poor G.N. responds judgment in running letter to book drive

A

breath of much needed journalistic fresh air swept into Port Washington over these last few months — and it has been the arrival of your new newspaper.

Long demanding a strong news and opinion source in Port Washington, The Port Washington Times has not disappointed.

Yet, we are very disappointed by something that occurred within your newspaper last week. Without even dignifying the writer’s name, you published a very personal attack against a candidate in the just concluded Manorhaven Village election.

This letter was a largely inaccurate, bilious, nasty, below the belt, and uncharacteristically personal attack against one of

the candidates for trustee, Roy Smitheimer.

We realize that we live now in The Age of Trump. That means that nasty adjectives, damning names and unsupported, non-researched accusations are all fair game in the new land we live in.

But not, we had hoped, in Port Washington.

We realize that you have a duty to publish the disparate voices of as many people whom you can accommodate.

And, you do so--and do so admirably.

You have diversity of opinions. Likewise, the writer of this obnoxious screed against Mr. Smitheimer has her First Amendment rights, too — but we are disappointed that this fine newspaper, which is the best

thing that has happened in this community in a long, long time — would agree to publish something so obviously personal.

Newspapers are not under any legal or other form of obligation to publish, verbatim, every bit of flotsam and jetsam that comes in.

We regret that you published this.

In an extremely close election, we feel that this letter of falsehoods harmed Mr. Smitheimer.

Disappointed we are, and we hope that this kind of letter — against anyone--never sees the light of another issue.

Hank Ratner Jon F. Weinstein Port Washington

his is a letter of appreciation to the people of Great Neck.

On May 2-9 the National Council of Jewish WomenLakeville Section had a READ TO LEARN book drive.

It was a total success!

We collected over 1,000 books. There are many people and groups to thank, so here goes.

Thanks to Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Instruction Kelly Newman who allowed all the elementary school children to collect books, to all the principals of those schools including Parkville Pre-K and K who encouraged their students to cooperate, to the Great Neck Library that donated five boxes of books, to the clergy and mayors who informed their congregations and residence who donated books, to the students of North and South High who collected all the books and brought them to our store at 43 S. Middle

Neck Road.

To Mayor Jean Celender who called and was able to get a landlord to give us a store and to Mr. Khalili who gave us the store to use, to Rabbi Widom of Temple Emanuel who had delivered two bridge tables and eight chairs for our comfort and lastly to members of NCJW, Roberta Mallman, Sylvia Fassler and my co-chair Sandy Kendall who sorted, labeled and were in the store to receive books — my deepest thanks on a great endeavor.

Now we need to distribute the books to children for whom a book is a luxury.

If you are a daycare center, nursery school, hospital, clinic, psychologist, psychiatrist, pediatrician, social worker or anyone who wants books for the children, please call to arrange to pick up the books.

I say again, Great Neck is great!

County adds names to vets’ Wall of Honor A ceremony held this past Saturday featured the unveiling of the names of 280 veterans added to the Walls of Honor in Eisenhower Park.

The additions bring the total to nearly 8,500 veterans whose names have been added since the Monument Committee and Nassau County Veterans Monument Fund were established in 1991.

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano, Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves, County Legislators C. William Gaylor and Rose Walker, and N. Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth joined local veterans at the ceremony unveiling.

“The Walls of Honor were built for residents to commemorate the brave members of the United States

Armed Forces who risked, and many of whom gave, their lives in order to protect our freedoms,” said Mangano. “Together, we pay respect to all those who served our nation.”

The Walls of Honor are open to all those who have served the nation and were honorably discharged whether they served during war time or peace time.

The Nassau County Veterans Monument Fund, Inc. is a private organization that collects a $100 donation for each veteran’s name to be added to the Walls. For applications, please call (516) 804-5802.

The question: to rent or not to rent?

You’re sick of renting and it’s becoming expensive. You’re looking around and finding so many people are purchasing a co-op, condo or house.

You’re thinking, maybe it’s your moment to consider buying, too.

So the first step would be to begin seeking out a referral to a lending institution to provide you a pre-qualification or commitment letter.

You will need two years of tax returns, or if self-employed you will need to be in business for at least two years and provide your 1099 forms and tax returns, also for two years. You will need two to four weeks of your pay stubs, ID with photo, and information on all debts (credit cards, installment loans, mortgages or any other types of liabilities).

With that in hand, you begin your search for an experienced, knowledgeable, credible and straight-shooting broker or salesperson to assist you in your journey to find your home. You will begin your search either with a referral from a friend or business associate or, as many are doing, going online, to locate a Realtor.

You find several and interview them, settling on one or possibly two; because working and feeling comfortable with more than two agents, can become unnecessary, if you vet and interview the agents

properly.

Even exclusive listings can be shown by any Realtor by state law, and he or she can represent you as a buyer’s agent.

Remember, for most, this will potentially be the most expensive purchase of your lifetime; so you want to have the most experienced and qualified person to assist you: a broker or salesperson who will listen twice as much as he talks (two ears and one mouth) and fully understands your specific needs and wants based on your budget, towns you would consider, type of property to purchase, bedrooms, baths and condition and most importantly, your timeline for moving in.

Now you are armed and somewhat prepared with what you need to go to battle in this crazy highdemand, low-inventory, historic 40-year-low-interest-rate market.

You’re looking for yourself, with your sweetheart, girlfriend or wife and you’re finally going to pull the trigger and buy something, so you can now be your own landlord and gain the tax benefits, appreciation and freedom of owning.

It also eliminates the fear of having to move when your landlord doesn’t renew your lease, because he sees the excellent market we are currently experiencing and decides to sell.

Another reason, you have a disagreement about your dog, cat,

philip a. raices Real Estate Watch

smells from cooking or noise from music or your parties, and don’t want to pay any more increases.

Or more devastating, he or she tells you, “my kids are moving back home and I will not be renewing your lease.”

Whatever the reasons, it is still a pain to have to find another rental, with potentially higher prices, and packing up everything while working your job or business.

The stress of it all can be overwhelming, and with your tendency to procrastinate you start to feel your blood pressure rising from the day-to-day grind of looking for and finding another place to live.

The scary realization that you must move very soon is starting to give you palpatations.

However, all of a sudden, you have an epiphany, making a deci-

sion to never have to give a dime to any landlord ever again.

You have the money – by the way, you can use money from any retirement plan to buy your first primary residence without penalty and you can do this every two years – and the thought of owning something is becoming a more positive reality and you are starting to get excited. Are you single, bringing up your family, starting one or maybe just a five-year plan and then possibly moving up to a larger space or lastly, just moving out of state, due to the high cost of housing and taxes? Many more people are leaving New York than are moving into the state. In certain towns and locations, one must have much deeper pockets than average, as do many professionals across the Long Island area who are employed in the medical, legal or financial professions. However, the typical home in the U.S. is now selling for $225,000. As we know, in a good to superior area with above average schools in Long Island, you couldn’t buy a piece of land, let alone a home for that amount of money. So it’s survival of the financial fittest.

Yes, it is rough out there, but if you put your mind to work the money can be earned; it all depends on how motivated you are to change your financial situation and if you are willing to go back to school and learn a different trade

part time.

As I always say, “If you keep doing the same thing, expecting different results” you are in the business insanity syndrome. But, more important, look at someone who is doing what you do, five years longer than you. Get used to it, that is exactly what you will be doing. So if you don’t like what you see, what are you going to do about it?

The money is here in Long Island. You just have to make a greater concerted and committed effort to gain more knowledge, put in more time, apply what you have learned and bend down, where you will find the money. Unfortunately, 35 percent of the people are renters. That can change, if those individuals do something about it.

Then you will be in a position to go out and buy your next place to call home!

Suozzi wins primary in Congress race Continued from Page 1 “positive” campaigns and pledged to bring unity to an increasingly polarized Congress.

“We’re not going to just run to get a job,” Suozzi said. “We’re running to do a job, to actually try and make the best country in the world even better than it is.”

Only about 10 percent of 186,389 registered Democrats cast ballots in the district stretching from Whitestone, Queens, to Kings Park in Suffolk County.

Suozzi carried the Nassau County portion by about 10 percentage points and the Queens portion by about 20 percentage points. Stern, the only Suffolk County candidate, won 54.55 percent of Suffolk’s 4,656 votes, about 33 percentage points ahead of Suozzi.

In a statement Tuesday night, Martins said he looks forward to facing Suozzi in the Nov. 8 general election.

“Our next representative needs be someone who will focus on the right priorities and can work in a bipartisan manner to deliver results,” said Martins, a former Mineola mayor who lives in Old Westbury. “That’s what I’ve done since my first day in public service. I look forward to discussing these issues over the coming months.”

In written statements Wednesday, Kaplan, Kaiman and Stern encouraged Democrats to unite behind Suozzi to ensure Israel’s seat stays in their party’s hands.

“While we did not prevail at the polls, the fight for these critical issues

Tom Suozzi after winning Tuesday night’s Democratic primary at Ben’s Kosher Deli in Greenvale.

— and to make Congress work for New York’s middle class families again — goes on,” Stern said.

Israel announced in January that he would not seek a ninth term in Congress.

Suozzi’s victory comes despite Israel’s endorsement of Stern, his fellow Suffolk County lawmaker and friend of 20 years.

Stern, of Dix Hills, recruited Israel’s former campaign staff and had Israel appear in one of his TV ads.

Suozzi made his ability to “get things done” the cornerstone of his campaign, saying it would set him apart as a bipartisan worker in Washington. His campaign consultant Kim Devlin said that message and his emphasis on in-person campaign-

ing resonated with voters.

“It’s very evident that voters are looking for someone who will just simply do something,” Devlin said.

Suozzi said he will maintain his focus on issues in the general election campaign. He wants to hold “town hall” events like the 16 he held throughout the Third District in the primary season, but centered on specific issues rather than geographic areas.

“If it’s a positive campaign in the general election, we’re going to win this election because we’re going to win on the

issues,” Suozzi said.

Suozzi aides said about 25 percent of Democrats turned out in his hometown of Glen Cove, indicating his roots there are still strong. Suozzi thanked the city Tuesday night for its support “through thick and thin.”

The five Democrats showed few policy differences, but each touted unique proposals and credentials.

Kaiman pledged to create a national version of Project Independence, the program he started as town supervisor to help senior citizens stay in their homes as they age. Kaplan said her unique life experience as an immigrant and as the only woman in the race equipped her to best represent the ethnically diverse district.

Stern championed a federal version of his Suffolk County program to turn vacant homes into housing for veterans, which Israel introduced in the House last year.

Embracing an outsider identity, Clarke said campaign finance reform is essential to progressive change on other issues and eschewed donations from special-interest and third-party groups.

Despite taking a large loss Tuesday, Clarke said he was glad Suozzi won. “We both have the same goal of revitalizing the Democratic Party,” he said Wednesday.

On a phone call Tuesday night, Suozzi encouraged Clarke to run for office again and offered to help his future campaigns.

Pidot tries to throw wrench in Martins’ bid Continued from Page 2 party’s Third District nomination.

Three others dropped out after the Nassau, Suffolk and Queens GOP committees endorsed Martins in March, about two months after he launched his congressional campaign.

The state Board of Elections ruled May 4 that Pidot did not have the required 1,250 signatures to get on the primary ballot for the North Shore district stretching from Whitestone, Queens, to Kings Park in Suffolk County.

State Appellate Division judges ruled June 17 that Pidot has 1,261 valid signatures, meaning both he and Martins have valid petitions.

But after three days of hearings, Diamond agreed with the Board of Elections that there was not enough time to create new primary ballots before Tuesday.

The federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act, or MOVE Act, also plays into the case. It requires states to send absentee ballots to members of the military stationed overseas at least 45 days before a federal election.

New Republican primary ballots would have to be mailed by mid-July for

a vote by mid-September, Pidot’s court filing says.

Martins’ lawyers have argued neither state nor federal law would allow a second primary, and there is no precedent for holding one except in cases of fraud, which has not occurred here.

Murray said Pidot also did not defend his petition signatures before the Board of Elections in May despite having two extra days to do so.

O’Reilly said Martins’ lawyers dragged out the proceedings by delaying hearings.

Pidot challenged the Board of Elections’ rejection of his petition in Nassau County Supreme Court on May 6, but Judge Thomas Adams dismissed it May 11 because of procedural issues, court records show. Pidot asked Adams to reconsider May 19, records show, but the judge rejected the request.

Pidot appealed to the state Appellate Division June 13, which he could have done after Adams dismissed his challenge the first time.

But O’Reilly said he went back to Adams because the judge ruled the opposite way in a similar case when he was on the Appellate Division bench.

Manhasset graduates to take next step

Continued from Page 26 a momentary fall,” Gleason said. “So I leave you all with this message: Life is like learning to ride a bike. You will fall off many times, but the only way to reach success is to get up, dust yourself off, and keep going. Success is the result of learning from failure.”

The salutatorian, Julia Henry, spoke about the significance of numbers in her class’s journey to graduation. However, with all the numbers that Henry included in her speech, she says that the number “one” holds the greatest importance.

“There is only one Manhasset, only one Plandome Road, only one Louie’s and only one town in the country that has a lacrosse stick featured in its Snapchat geotag,” Henry said. “Perhaps most importantly, there is only one Manhasset Class of 2016. Whether you are a national science research competition winner, all-state singer, club president, all-county athlete, class clown or all-star bench warmer, you

have added immense value to our class.

Together, we make an unforgettable and extraordinary class of 2016. Together, we are one.”

As departing advice as the graduating class’s advisor, Jacqueline Wiley told this year’s graduates to find a job about which they are passionate.

“A job you love will make you have to tear yourself away from your desk after working 13 hours without a lunch break,” Wiley said. “What I wish for you, the Manhasset High School Class of 2016, is that you find what fuels you, and when you do, I hope you work harder then you’ve ever worked before. Work until you’re picking yourself up off the floor because that’s how you know you’ve found it.”

Wiley went on to explain that not every student will find their passion right away. She said that they may be in their junior year of college and still not know what they want to major in, but she hopes that they continue to trust their instincts and al-

low themselves the time and space to find their passion.

Principal Dean Schlanger took a different approach to saying goodbye to the Manhasset High’s 2016 graduating class.

He expressed the sadder sentiments that he and the other teachers and staff experience watching students that have been with them for six years move on to new chapters in their lives.

“Having had the wonderful opportunity to journey with you through middle school and high school over the last six years, my colleagues and I feel that graduation, while surely a celebration, is also bittersweet,” Schlanger said. “While all of us are proud of you and happy, this ceremony also suggests a loss in a way. June of 2016 represents high school memories coming to closure.”

To further communicate the feelings the day held for Manhasset High faculty, Schlanger asked a student, Michael Ottavio, to sing Nichole Nordeman’s “Slow

Down.”

“Within the lyrics of ‘Slow Down,’ the words ‘I am your biggest fan’ are repeated several times,” Schlanger continued. “As your principal, I am one of your biggest fans of the Class of 2016, as are your teachers and staff that have crossed your path over these six precious years.”

Six members of the graduating class were also inducted into Manhasset’s Silver M Society, an organization honoring exemplary students that excel in multiple categories of education. Inductees this year included Lauren Merola, Kyle Cherry, Eliana Rozinov, Madison Foglio, Elizabeth Boyle and Kimberly Te. The graduating class presented a class gift to the Manhasset Board of Education during the commencement ceremony, which took place in the front of the high school. Two handmade benches were given to the board to be placed in the new art gallery in the lobby of Manhasset High School.

Marina, tenants seek Town breaks ground accord over lawsuit on Petrus Park in Port Continued from Page 1 ton woke up on May 6 to no electricity and no water, forcing them to use gaspowered generators.

Manorhaven village officials said at a planning meeting on May 9 that the power outage was the result of vandalism at the marina, which is located at 12 Matinicock Ave. in Port Washington.

Since the power outage, electricity has not been restored to the houseboats.

Nassau County fire marshals have issued a violation to Boromand due to the conditions.

“We found there were violations, electrical violations and propane gas usage. In our opinion these are unsafe conditions for how they are stored,” Assistant

Chief Fire Marshal Mike Uttaro said.

Village Attorney James Toner said electricity has be restored to the marina, but not to the houseboats, which are awaiting inspection.

He added that the majority of the boats will not meet the required code and that what started out as an alleged act of vandalism has “spiraled down to a safety issue.”

“I think ultimately the marina has to be shut down,” Toner said.

Sutherland said she’s already in the process of looking for a new apartment for her husband, son and herself.

“I mean what are you going to do?

It’s hard,” she said.

Continued from Page 12 “I have been advocating for restoring Petrus Park since 2011, before I was even elected councilwoman,” De Giorgio said.

“This is a true victory for the community.

If not for their tireless efforts, this project would never have succeeded, and I am reminded of my favorite quote by Margaret Mead, ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.’”

The new park was designed by the engineering firm Cashin Associates PC, and construction will be done by Woodstock Construction Group of Bayville.

The Town Board approved the contract with Woodstock Construction at the

April 19 board meeting, for $1,289,800.

Officials said the project should be completed in December. The park will feature a basketball court, picnic benches, playground, a walking path and handball court, placed up against a hillside to make maximum use of space.

The town worked closely with community leaders, members of the Hands of Change group and local Harbor Homes residents to incorporate their views into the design, officials said.

Alvan Petrus Park was named after Alvan Petrus, who died in 1985. He was director of Littig House Community Center and an active member of the Port Washington community.

Schreiber graduates ready for the challenge Continued from Page 3 ing for four years.”

Ronis referred to her fellow classmates as “bright and fun interesting human beings.” She told them to focus on what’s good in life and not allow their creativity to be bound by external expectations and reminded them that they are prepared for life after graduation.

“We are ready for this, and we’re good enough to be who we’re supposed to be,” she said. “My fear is that there are students sitting here who don’t believe that. And if we don’t believe it all the amazing potential inside each of us is lost.

Don’t let that get lost. Embrace your strengths and throw them at people who say they don’t matter.”

Ronis said in her speech that she spent a lot of time baby-sitting, and would see a “museum of Crayola abstract paintings and macaroni art” created by the children she watched.

She said that the children would display their work proudly and receive the appropriate response from their audience, meaning herself, and that the kids have the “confidence to explore and exhibit creativity” without being told otherwise.

“It’s a genuine moment of unselfish happiness for them and then those children are sent off to schools to fight for their right for individuality,” she said. “They struggle to maintain themselves while they’re simultaneously told that they’re not good enough for the things they think they

want. Then, by the time they get to where you guys are, they firmly believe just that. That their creativity is not good enough.”

Ronis said she believes the four years spent in high school “should be spent building confidence and forming opinions and learning about yourself and about the world,” and that Schreiber allowed her to do that.

“Schreiber has been such an incredible space for all of us to take the time to flourish in this regard,” she said. “We were given this huge gift and we’ve already done everything we could’ve done. How on earth could anyone tell us that we aren’t ready for the real world? Seriously, we’re set.”
