Gov. Perry Endorses
Lally for Congress
(l-r) Texas Governor Rick Perry endorses
Republican Congressional Candidate Grant Lally.
Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas)
appeared at The Milleridge Inn in
Hicksville on Tuesday, September
30th, to endorse Grant Lally for
Congress. Perry addressed the
packed main dining room of Lally
supporters and discussed the static
state of our national economy, our
border crisis and the burdensome
tax code.
Both Gov. Perry and Grant Lally
agree on a plan for a more prosper-
ous America with the approval of
the XL Pipeline, which not only creates high paying jobs but reduced
dependency on foreign oil,
increased border security utilizing
today’s technology at the border to
stop the flow of illegal immigration
into the United States, and a revision of our tax code to encourage
investment and savings by our corporations and citizens.

Greenvale Man
Arrested
The Third Squad of the Nassau
County Police Department reported
that a Greenvale man was found to
have firearms and drugs at his
home last Thursday evening, and
was arrested.
According to detectives, officers
received a 911 call to 5 Carl Street in
Greenvale at 6:13 PM. The man was
calling about a gun in the home.
When police arrived, they were met
by Donald Miller, 51, saying he had
a rifle in the house. Miller then told
officers to go inside and take a look.
Once inside, officers saw in plain
view an AK-47, SKS rifle, a Marlin
rifle, a Colt semi-automatic .380 caliber pistol and seven clear bags containing what is believed to be
cocaine. Miller was placed under
arrest without incident. Subsequent
to arrest detectives recovered two
daggers, a switchblade and ammunition for the Colt handgun.
Miller is charged with eight
counts of

GC Budget
Commercial
property
tax
decrease is within Glen Cove Mayor
Reginald Spinello’s proposed 2015
budget. Commercial real estate taxes
will decrease .84 percent, which
translates to a reduction of $80 in
taxes per $500,000 of assessed value.
The proposed budget includes a minimal increase of 1.17 percent in residential property taxes, or $38 for a
home with an assessed value of
$500,000.
“I have presented the 2015 budget to the City Council for their consideration. We will begin our discussions on the budget during the
October 7th pre-council meeting. On
October 10th, budget books will be
available to the public. A public hearing on the proposed budget is scheduled for October 14th during the City
Council meeting. We will then continue our discussions until we take a
final vote on the budget during the
October 28th City Council meeting,”
said Mayor Spinello.
This is Mayor Spinello’s first proposed budget for Glen Cove. It is the
result of numerous meetings with
each of the city’s department heads,
the city controller, and Glen Cove’s
first responders, to discuss their
needs for the coming year. Having
received their input and keeping the
city’s taxpayers in mind, the Mayor
formed the proposed budget.
GC Crackdown on
Illegal Housing
The Glen Cove administration
has promoted a steadfast commitment to address quality of life issues.
Illegal housing and overcrowding
are first on the list, since it puts lives
at risk while debasing a neighborhood. “I urge residents to contact my
office or code enforcement if illegal
housing or overcrowding are suspected. This administration’s message to any others participating in the
illegal housing business is this: illegal housing and overcrowding will
not be tolerated,” said Mayor
Spinello.
An amendment has been added to
the city’s housing code concerning
illegal housing. The legislation pre-
sumes illegal occupancy if there is
more than one, gas or electric meter,
mailbox or entrance, and multiple
doorbells at single-family dwelling
units. The goal of the Department of
Code Enforcement in Glen Cove is
to provide uniform and aggressive
enforcement of building, housing
and zoning codes. One of the main
dangers of multiple overcrowded
dwelling environments is fire hazard.
Code enforcement violations last
year collected $43,650. Landlords
are still responsible for overcrowding of their properties, but tenants are
also considered culpable by Glen
Cove officials.
Veto the Villa
• SALLY BANDOW
Glen Cove city officials, on September 30,
decided to hear what the residents had to say about
building The Villa, at the gateway to the city,
instead of allowing a vote on the 194 unit complex. Following an extensive presentation by the
developer’s attorney, Patrick Hobish, that made
the construction sound like a dream come true, it
was the resident’s turn to voice their concerns, of
which there were many. Most of the 200 plus residents that attended the meeting at City Hall were
against the complex, that would allow the 194
units to be built on a 3.96 acre plot that usually
would allow for about 80 units. Mayor Spinello
told the audience that some of the Planning Board
members were not familiar with the proposal and
would need time to review it.
Each resident was asked to keep their concerns
to a three minute time limit, while the attorney
spoke for close to ½ hour and up, until the residents began to protest. Many of the concerned residents came from neighborhoods that bordered the
proposed complex, saying that they did not want
to look at the back of a project that would destroy
their yards, bring down property value, increase
taxes, over extend the school, garbage, and sewer
systems and remove 200 plus trees. Few thought
the project would be a major improvement for the
city. One speaker said the idea was good but it was
too much, too soon, and it would be better to
improve restaurants, shops and tourist attractions
before building apartments, condos and town
houses.
The continuation of the hearing has not yet
been scheduled.
IRS Scam
Nassau County Police warn residents that
scammers are posing as IRS agents. Scammers
are using fake names and IRS badge numbers.
They may be able to give the last four digits of a
victim’s Social Security number. Scammers are
able to spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller
ID, to appear that it’s the IRS calling.
The scammer claims that the resident or family member owes money for unpaid taxes. The
victim is told that they or family members can
face jail time, and foreclosure. NCPD states the
IRS does not ask for a pre-paid debit card or wire
transfer or for credit card numbers over the phone.
After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and
others soon call back pretending to be from the
local police or DMV and the caller ID supports
their claim. If you believe you are a victim, call
911 immediately after hanging up. Anyone with
information should call 1-800-244-8477.
Montessano Tackles
Albany Corruption
Assemblyman Michael Montesano (R,C,IGlen Head) is expressing the need for ethics
reform in Albany. Since his time in office began
in 2010, cleaning up the corruption among state
officials has been a priority. With only one
week left of the 2014 Legislative session,
Montesano and his colleagues hope to see the
passage of Assembly Bill 7173, which would
require any state officer or local officer convict-
ed of a felony involving breach of public trust
to forfeit pension rights or retirement benefits.
“As we head in to the final days of session,
I believe it is critical to focus on restoring public trust and see to it that this legislation, which
would strip corrupt elected officials of a taxpayer furnished benefits, be taken up for a
vote,” said Montesano.
Tom Suozzi Elected
Morgan Park Fest Chair
The Executive Board of Morgan Park
Summer Music Festival announced that Marge
Suozzi, who has chaired the Festival for more
than 50 years, is retiring. The Executive
Committee has asked her son, Tom Suozzi, to
succeed her, and he has accepted. Marge will continue to serve on the Executive Board as
Chairman Emeritus and will organize the annual
Young Performers Competition.
Morgan Park Summer Music Festival just
completed its 55th year of providing free concerts
to the public. During that time the festival has
grown from hosting one concert in the summer of
1959, to now offering concerts every weekend in
July and August.
In announcing her retirement, Marge
expressed her gratitude for all of the volunteers
who have dedicated many hours to making the
Festival such a long standing success, “Volunteers
are the heart of Morgan Park Summer Music
Festival. I can never thank them enough for all
that they have done, both for me, personally, and
for the Festival. It has been a fun and rewarding
55 years, but it is now time to pass the baton to the
next generation.”
The Executive Board voted unanimously to
appoint Tom Suozzi to assume the chairmanship
of the Festival.
Suozzi, an attorney and CPA, previously
served as Mayor of Glen Cove from 1993 to 2001
and as Nassau County Executive from 2002 to
2009. He is currently practicing law at Harris
Beach Law Firm in Uniondale.
Morgan Park Summer Music Festival is an allvolunteer nonprofit organization. The professional shows are completely funded through the generous donations that are received from businesses
and individuals. Taxpayer money is not requested, nor received, to bring this high caliber talent to
the Festival.
EDITORIAL
INVISIBLE ENEMY
This past week’s news was
dominated by the emergence of the
Ebola virus on U.S. shores. The
case involved a Liberian man
named Thomas Duncan who travelled from Liberia to Dallas, Texas,
after having contracted the deadly
and contagious virus. Health officials in Liberia have sought to prevent anyone displaying the deadly
symptoms, such as fever, vomiting,
diarrhea and loss of appetite, from
leaving Liberia. However, it
appears that Duncan, appearing
normal, lied to airport officials that
he did not come into contact with
anyone who displayed its symptoms, which would have denied his
departure. Once in the United
States, Duncan came into contact
with approximately 100 people,
including his own family, who the
Center for Disease Control (CDC)
told to remain in their homes until
the period of incubation has
passed. However, they disobeyed
this order, requiring a guard to be
stationed outside their home.
President Obama has ordered
some 4000 of our troops to this
region of West Africa to aid in the
containment of this aggressive disease, which allegedly can only be
passed by coming into contact with
the body fluids of one carrying the
virus. This does not explain how
medical aid workers with full coverage of their body have contracted
the virus.
We submit that any deployment
of our service personnel into an
area rife with a contagious disease
should be held in abeyance until
more exhaustive protocols are
developed by the CDC for their
protection. Great caution requires
that they be kept apart from the
civilian population they are being
assigned to help, however this may
prove impossible since this invisible enemy’s insidious invasion of
its victims is not yet fully known.
It seems to us that since a victim
may have contracted the virus
without immediately exhibiting its
classic symptoms, that travel from
the affected regions of Africa be
highly restricted, and that anyone
entering the U.S. from such
regions be quarantined for the
incubation period of 21 days.
The first obligation of our government is to protect our citizens
and service personnel and to avoid
placing them in harm’s way, while
endeavoring to provide humanitarian services to those living in the
area of contagion. We are fighting
an enemy that has all the qualifications for a Pandemic. We must act
now, and boldly, to confine its
deadly reach to Africa.

VILLA PROJECT HEARING
INFECTED SCHOOLS
To the Editor,
To the Editor:
Thank you very much to those of you
who attended the Hearing on Tuesday
evening concerning the Villa Project. I am
proud to report that the Hearing was an
overwhelming success. We had between
200 and 300 people from all walks of life,
many who spoke articulately about the Villa
Project. As a result of the overwhelming
concern about the Project, Mayor Spinello
stated that the Hearing Record would be
kept open and additional comments could
be filed. The Mayor stated that there will be
another hearing to be scheduled in later
October or early November.
Because the hearing record will remain
open, we can still collect signatures and we
urge you to sign the Petition if you have not
done so and please forward the petition to
anyone you can. If a hard copy petition is
preferred, please call 516-652-1564.
I want to recognize all of your efforts for
making this Hearing a success - we have
made a our first move toward ensuring the
community voice is heard. I also want to
personally thank everyone who spoke so
eloquently and in particular Grace Slezak
for putting ads and articles in the local
papers at her own expense and her Boom
Boom Boom speech, Marie for giving out
flyers on her bad foot and and to
Marsha Silverman for getting News 12
involved. See the coverage: http://longisland.news12.com/news/glen-cove-citycouncil-planning-board-hold-public-meeting-on-proposed-condominiums-on-glencove-avenue-1.9451195
It takes us all working together to have
create a democracy and I felt exhilarated on
Tuesday when I walked in and saw all of
you. By the end of the night I felt that we
can truly make a difference in the future of
our community.
Please give yourselves a round of
applause for a job well done and lets fight
even harder going forward!
I have created a Facebook Group called
Glen Cove North Shore Citizens for
Balanced Development. If you are on
Facebook, please like and sign up for the

I have just returned from my annual family reunion in Dallas and I must share with
The Leader, as the Paul Revere of journalism for our community, what I experienced
on the other side of this country.
The Dallas school district has been
infected recently with outbreaks of TB and
paralytic diseases so that my nephews had
to be home schooled. Although the CDC
isn’t making the connection that bringing
infected children from Central America is
directly related to our school children getting sick, the timing points to a different
conclusion. The illegal children are overrunning that school district and trailers had
to be used as classrooms. No one should
allow the bringing of infected children into
our country. It is very disturbing to me
what’s going on in this country, and what
else aren’t we being told.

EMBARRASSED
To the Editor:
I read your article “School News, Good
and Bad” with great interest but was disheartened and disappointed to learn that the
data released by the New York State
Department of Education rated Locust
Valley teachers near the bottom of all school
districts in Nassau County. In fact, when I
went to the on-line site you listed in the article, I was distressed to find out that the percent of highly effective teachers in Locust
Valley is in the lower ten percent of all
school districts in New York State.
Locust Valley has 11% of its teachers
rated as highly effective. This contrasts
with an average among all school districts in
Nassau County of 60%. In fact, Locust
Valley is forth from the bottom and barely
above the ratings of Roosevelt and
Hempstead. By contrast , as The Leader
article points out, surrounding districts all
had a large percent of highly effective teachers; Jericho (89%), Syosset (90%), North
Shore (94%) and Oyster Bay (62%).
So why did Locust Valley do so poorly?
Surprisingly, the answer provided by Dr.
Hunderfund, Superintendent of Schools,
and Ms. Harrington, president of the Locust
Valley Teachers Association, is that the
appraisal was deliberately designed to provide low rankings. Dr. Hunderfund explains
in the article that “each district’s” APPR
plan (which is the basis for the evaluation) is
different. “In our district” (unlike the other
districts in the state) Dr. Hunderfund goes
on to say, the district created a formula that
would NOT qualify many teachers as “highly effective.” “Ours was a much more conservative.” Ms. Harrington added, “high
standard we have…translates into more
modest ratings.” I don’t know how these
statements make any sense, but does anyone
seriously think the Jericho, Syosset and
North Shore school districts have lower
standards?
So we have an administration and labor
union deliberately designing a formula
which embarrasses our teachers. We have a
rating policy which reflects very poorly on
our entire community and is completely out
of step with teacher appraisals used by other
school districts in the county and state.
Finally, we are left to wonder why Dr.
Hunderfund and Ms. Harrington would use
this “much more conservative approach” to
begin with? Do they think it will inspire the
teachers? Do they think this is a good motivational message? Or do they really think
Locust Valley has very few highly exceptional teachers? After all, that is what these
ratings tell anyone who reads them.

GWL School Honored
Glenwood Landing School was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon
School. The U.S. Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan recognized 337 schools as
National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2014,
based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing
achievement gaps among student subgroups. Principal Bridget Finder said, “I
take great pleasure in letting you know
that Glenwood Landing School was one
of three Long Island schools to receive
this coveted award, specifically as an
Exemplary High Performing School.
The honor is truly a reflection on how
hard our teachers, students, and parents
LVHS Athletes of Distinction
have worked.” She added, “We create
opportunities for students to communicate and collaborate as reflective, creative, critical thinkers who are passionately engaged in their own learning,
while supporting them with differentiating instruction in order to foster each student’s optimal growth and achievement.”
Glenwood Landing School was recognized in the category of Exemplary
High Performing Schools. These are
among the state’s highest performing
schools as measured by state assessments
or nationally normed tests. Student subgroup performance and high school graduation rates are also at the highest levels.

Locust Valley High School was
recently honored for being named a New
York State Scholar-Athlete Team School
of Distinction.
This prestigious honor means that
every one of the high school’s varsity
athletic teams earned scholar-athlete status, achieving a grade point average of 90
or higher, during the 2013-2014 school
year. Nina Van Erk, executive director of
interscholastic athletics for Nassau
BOCES, attended the Board of
Education meeting to present the award
to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Anna F.
Hunderfund; High School Principal Dr.
Kieran McGuire, and Director of Health,
Physical Education and Athletics Mark J.
Dantuono. A ceremony was also held at
Nassau BOCES.
“It is a true honor to be recognized as
a School of Distinction,” said Dr.
McGuire. “Our student-athletes excel
both on and off the field. They make the
effort to prioritize both being a member
of a team and being a member of an academic program. We couldn't be prouder.”
Locust Valley is one of only seven
high schools in Nassau County to earn
School of Distinction status for the 20132014 school year. Congratulations to all
the athletes, along with the coaches and
teachers who supported them!

Lost and Found: A True Story
• LC COLGATE
The handwritten letter, postmarked
from Minneapolis, arrived in late August.
I was curious because I do not know anyone in the state of Minnesota and I certainly didn’t recognize the return address.
Inside the letter read,
Dear LC,
I believe I am looking for you. Did
you lose a gold religious medal, probably at Jones Beach or other NY
beach? It is inscribed with your name
and the date of 12-25-74. It was
found and I would like to return it to
the rightful person.
My jaw practically
hit the kitchen floor. It
was my medal, the one
that fell off my scrawny
teenage body in August
of 1977 while riding the
waves at Jones Beach.
That afternoon, it was
hot, sultry and humid, a
typical New York summer day. As I bobbed
in the water, I remember thinking that the
necklace was too long and that I should
probably get out of the aqua-style air conditioning and leave it on my towel. And then,
whoosh…as the angry surf toppled upon
me, I felt the thin gold chain and charm tangle in my hair and disappear…poof, gone. I
lunged after them and watched my St.
Christopher icon catch the sunlight among
the churning sea as it fell back, deeper into
the dark, gray abyss. I was fourteen years old
and had been given the necklace on
Christmas Day in 1974. It was taken by the
ocean in one single horrible second. I shuffled onto the boiling dry sand, sniffling and
crying, feeling empty and perfectly miserable. Who would have thought that nearly
forty years later, the letter from Minneapolis
would bring St. Christopher back to me?
According to religious websites, St.
Christopher is a very popular saint and is
revered as one of the fourteen Holy Helpers.
He holds patronage of things related to travel and travelers and is a guardian to many,
including boatmen, gardeners, drivers,
mountaineers and transportation workers.
It’s not hard to find anyone these days.
You can locate your high school sweetheart,
your bunkmate from camp, your first boss.
All you have to do is launch a search engine
and voila! There they are. And I am pretty
easy to find since there aren’t many people
in New York with my name, none to be
exact. That’s how my Minneapolis fairy
godmother found me. Once we connected
via email, she shared that her father had been
a beachcomber “back in the day” and he had
found my necklace, many years ago. It was
put in a safe deposit box along with other
treasures that the sea had spit out, including
signet rings, wedding bands, keys and
assorted objects that were probably once
held dear, and then lost. When he died, his
daughter took possession of the contents
from the bank and came upon the myriad of
valuables left behind. And there was my
medal, still in perfect condition, chain intact.
The necklace flew across the eastern
part of the country in a padded envelope
and my heart beat furiously as I carefully
opened the package and spilled the contents onto the table. I just couldn’t believe
that the necklace that had been swallowed up by the Atlantic Ocean in 1977
was returned. It was staring right at me,
still shiny and still perfect. The timing
was fortuitous too as I was soon to
embark on a trekking expedition that
would lead me through three countries in
ten days, completing nearly one hundred
miles by foot. My necklace and my lucky
St. Christopher icon, protector of travelers, accompanied me but stayed safely
ensconced in my backpack. Miracles do
happen.
P.S. Christine Fleming is the letter
writer and daughter of the metal-detecting
beach sleuth who found the necklace back
in (probably) the ‘70’s. She is also the
president of Be The Match. Be The Match,
operated by the National Marrow Donor
Program (NMDP), manages the largest
and most diverse marrow registry in the

Work is fundamental to our
lives. It means so much more
than a paycheck. It offers purpose and the opportunity to
lead an independent, selfdirected life for all people,
including people with disabilities. But the rate of unemployment for people with disabilities is still vastly higher than
the general population.

rate bonus is subject to change at any time after first anniversary date of account opening. Hypothetical example of how bonus works: Assume an account is opened on July 1, 2014 for $50,000. A $10,000 withdrawal is
made on February 15, 2015. No other withdrawals are made prior to the July 1, 2015 anniversary date. The low balance is now $40,000, so $100 in bonus interest will be paid on July 1, 2015.
Blessing of the Animals
ST. GERTRUDES ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
ST JOHN’S OF LATTINGTOWN
• VICTORIA CROSBY
In celebration of St. Francis of Assisi St.
John's of Lattingtown Episcopal Church in
Locust Valley held the annual blessing of
the animals. This year all the pets were
dogs, which caused Vestry member Larry
Ward to joke that “the church is going to the
dogs.” In the past past there have been cats,
hamsters and other assorted pets, but this
year saw only dogs, of all shapes and sizes
and breeds, sitting quietly in the aisles or
making doggie noises.
Children stayed in church with their pets
and the noise level was a little higher than
usual, but Interim Priest, the Reverend
Canon Thomas Orso, was able to conduct
the service with grace as always until the
parishioners and their pets approached the
altar for a blessing. Then it was a little
chaotic but although there was some loud
barking and fussing there were no dog
fights.
Meghan, a very well behaved whippet,
attended choir practice then sat quietly at
the feet of her owner, choir member,
Bumble Ingham, in the choir loft during the
service until it was time to come down to be
blessed. The service closed as the choir
sang “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as
they stepped over and around the dogs in
the aisle.
At coffee hour, held outside in the cloister following the service on a lovely sunny
morning, there were treats for the adults
and children as always, but this time there
was also a special table set with doggie
treats for the pets. For further information

LET IT BE
• BY ADAM M. GROHMAN
The decks of the steamer Benjamin
Franklin rumbled beneath his feet as he
walked from the salon onto the main deck.
With the steamer entering into the waters of
the Long Island Sound, he hoped that the
rough waters of his journey and life were in
his wake. Though the steamer eventually
found an even keel and proceeded to make its
way toward New York City in a smoother
fashion, the turbulence of his own personal
journey followed him like a shadow. For the
twenty-eight year old lawyer each waking
moment aboard the steamer was a tortuous
reminder of the failings of his life and of his
father’s lofty and sometimes unreachable
expectations. “Let it be,” the voice inside his
head boomed as the twin paddlewheels of the
steamer churned through the water. “Let it
be…let it be,” the voice continued to command. He strode along the deck toward the
stern and starred out onto the waters of the
Long Island Sound. He closed his eyes and
felt the cool breeze against his face. “Let it
be…”
Nine days earlier, on April 20th, 1829,
George Washington Adams sat dejectedly in
his room in Boston, Massachusetts staring at
the recently delivered letter. He read it over
once again. The previous requests to the
Capital had been penned by the hand of his
mother. This request though was from his
father. George thought of the consequences of
a journey to Washington. The request to escort
his mother and father back to Boston would
be nothing more than an opportunity for his
parents to question his choices in life and its
wayward track from accepted norms. His
problems had expanded with each waking day
of his life. He was indebted both financially
and personally to his father and he had not
made any progress with his torts to begin to
counter balance the scale. In addition, an offspring, the result of a passionate tryst with the
chambermaid of the family’s doctor, added
another layer of stress to the young man.
While his brother remained the apple of his
parents’ eye, George felt that he could do
nothing right. While most of his failings were
due to his own self-indulgence, George knew
that distance between he and his parents
would be best for both parties. With his
father’s recent loss in the presidential election
and the bequest to provide escort to their
home state from the young nation’s capital, he
realized that despite his own misgivings to
making the journey, he was obligated to
answer the request and prepare his trunk for
the impending voyage south. For George, he

period. Hispanic Heritage month provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Latino culture and to recognize
the contributions made by Hispanic
Americans in the United States. At
Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club,
we particularly emphasize the important role that commitment to family,
faith, hard work and service plays in
Hispanic American culture today.
At our Dinner, we also commemorate El Dia de la Raza, the Columbus
Day tradition that celebrates the multicultural and diverse groups – Maya,
Aztec, Inca, European, Spanish,
Portuguese and French – who have
contributed to the history and culture
of the Western Hemisphere.
All proceeds from the Dinner will
benefit the Keystone Club. The members of our Keystone Club are teens
who develop leadership skills and
explore career and educational opportunities while performing community
service. Over the past year,
Keystone’s members have given more
than 2000 hours of their time to serve
the community. They helped younger
children with homework and raised
money for animal shelters, children’s
hospitals and volunteer fire departments. They partnered with Habitat
for the Humanities to build homes and
with Meals on Wheels to bring food to
the elderly. They served the homeless
at soup kitchens in Huntington and
the Bronx. They visited the sick at
Schneider’s Children’s Hospital and
Ronald McDonald House., to name a
few. We are extremely proud of their
efforts. Please join us to lend your
support, to have fun and to celebrate.

25 Years Ago...
By LC Colgate
The overall budget for the town of
Oyster Bay was down by $1.1 million.
There was a horrific head-on collision
on Skunks Misery Road in Locust Valley.
The driver of the car at fault was taken to
the hospital with a broken jaw and was
charged with driving while intoxicated.
The three passengers in the hit car were
taken to various hospitals by police helicopter and sadly, their condition was critical.
About thirty headstones were overturned in the Bayville Cemetery and some
very old stones were broken into pieces.
The Oyster Bay town board approved
an amendment to its codes that would
establish a series of fines for any person
who created a dangerous situation in a
building or allowed such a situation to
continue.
The first three-acre subdivisions in
Old Brookville were for sale by Daniel
Gale New Home and Land Center. The
properties, called Brookville Meadows,
were located opposite the Brookville
Country Club and vineyards. There were
eighteen one-of-a-kind settings with magnolia bushes, azalea and abundant rhododendrons. Each property was readied for
building, complete with underground
electric and cable wiring, road improvements, water and all appropriate systems.
The lots were for sale ranging from
$840,000 to $890,000. According to real
estate brokers familiar with the transaction, when Old Brookville up zoned, it
created an opportunity to allow buyers to
build their dream houses.
A quarter of a century had passed since
Miss Stoddart’s School for Very Little
People became known as Portledge
School. Molly Stoddart began the school
in 1933 at the request of members of St.
John’s of Lattingtown where she taught
Sunday school. The initial enrollment of
just two students grew so quickly that in
time Molly and her partner Peggy
Hawthorne settled into a small house on
Duck Pond Road on the property of
Horatio Nelson Slater. In 1965, the estate
of Alice Coffin gave the school 58-acres
of her property that adjoined the Slater
land.
