CSH Library Installs Rain Garden
A cooperative effort among
Business, Government and
Environmental Organizations
will bring a demonstration rain
garden to the grounds of the
Cold Spring Harbor Library and
Environmental Center this fall.
Funded primarily by a grant
from the Scott Paper Company,
the garden will serve to catch
and retain storm water runoff
and return it to the soil, while
providing an attractive focal

Bayville Hosts GC Hospital Rally
• LORIANN CODY
On Sunday, October 6, St. Gertrude’s
parking lot in Bayville was filled with
Glen Cove Hospital supporters despite
the bad weather. By holding a rally to
save Glen Cove Hospital in Bayville, the
third such rally, and the first not held
within the city of Glen Cove, rally organizers hoped to show North Shore Long
Island Jewish Health Systems’ management that downsizing the hospital has farreaching effects.
The packed podium of speakers
included political dignitaries: Glen Cove
Mayor Ralph Suozzi; former County
Controller Howard Weitzman; local mayors from Centre Island and Lattingtown,
and the current Bayville mayor Doug
Watson; Charles Lavine, Delia DeRiggiWhitton, Reggie Spinello and others. The
event was emceed by former Bayville
mayor Victoria Siegel, who introduced
speakers to the crowd of more than 200.
Mayor Suozzi noted his frustration in
dealing with the management of NSLIJ
Health Systems and stressed the importance of the public keeping up the pres-

mentioned the economic benefit (close to
$342 million back in 2010), that the local
economy can not afford to lose, should
the hospital close its inpatient facilities.
According to Lavine, NSLIJ Health
Systems is the 5th largest healthcare
provider in the US. Committee to Save
Glen Cove Hospital members spoke
about the outstanding care that GC
Hospital is known for, noting the 0%

GC Hospital Auxiliary:
Keeping Up With
The Changes
While the hospital at Glen Cove is
planning changes, there is one thing that
will not change, the dedicated members
of the auxiliary. These men, women and
teenagers are still hard at work in many
departments of the hospital and will continue to provide support for their
organization.
At the present time, the auxiliary is not
open to new members. In the spring when
the new programs and departments are in
place, more volunteers will be needed and
the auxiliary will be happy to welcome
anyone who would like to join this great
organization.

Glen Cove
Burglary Arrests
On Sept 12th, an apartment at 135
Glen Cove Avenue in Glen Cove was
burglarized. The suspects gained entry
through a rear window and removed a
Playstation 3 game console and games.
The burglary was caught on buildings’
surveillance video. Detective Glennon of
the Glen Cove Police obtained the surveillance video from the building as well
as surveillance recordings from other
buildings in the area. Once Detective
Glennon reviewed the video recordings
he quickly identified the suspect caught
in the surveillance video. That suspect,
a 16 year-old was arrested on September
27th and charged with Burglary in the
second degree. On September 29th, a 14
year old juvenile was also arrested and
charged with the burglary. The 16 year
old will be arraigned in Criminal Court
and the Juvenile will be arraigned in
Family Court, as a Juvenile. It was
apparent after reviewing the surveillance
video that one suspect entered the apartment through a rear window, while the
other suspect stood as a lookout. The proceeds of the burglary were recovered.
According to Detective Lieutenant
Nagle, “It was the second time this
month that surveillance cameras caught a
crime in progress.” The other case was
the arrest last week in which the downtown video cameras caught a 69 year old
Glen Cove man trying to lure a 15 year
old high school student into his vehicle
on School Street.

EDITORIAL
LET THE TALKS BEGIN
For the past two weeks the
American public has been witnessing the result of dysfunctional government. With Republicans and
Democrats feuding at the federal
level, little of the Nation’s business
is being attended to. The two
major political parties have hunkered down with the Republicans
looking for some concessions on
the continuing resolution and debt
ceiling and the Democrats employing the old Russian response,
“Nyet” which translates to, no
negotiations, no dialogue. This
game of political dominance where
one side seeks to vanquish the
other is at the root of this latest
encounter.
House Speaker John Boehner
(R-Ohio), has virtually prostrated
himself at the feet of President
Obama in a call for a meaningful,
good faith discussion of the financial issues that must be addressed
to allow our government to pay its
bills. Obama has refused to consider such a meeting, since, in his
judgment as head of his party, he
believes the Republicans must
capitulate and give him everything
he has asked for or they will experience the public’s wrath for not
doing so. He is confident that he
will be impervious to public criticism in the event of a default in the
payment of the nations’ bills and
that only the Republicans will
shoulder the blame, that he can sit
back and allow the Republican
Party to implode. If life, and cause
and effect, were so simple and predictable, he would have come out
on top of the recent Syrian situation where he boxed himself into a
corner with his fallacious reasoning.
Perhaps this is the time for
Americans to consider a new constitutional convention where
defects in our system could be
addressed and corrected. Term
limits immediately come to mind
to end the lifetime career political
path, as well as computer- generated congressional districts to end
gerrymandering, which assures
each party of certain election victory.
President Obama must come to
the realization he is the president of
all Americans for the next three
years and act accordingly.
“Democrat government consists of
listening, deciding and persuading,” wrote British Foreign
Minister Douglas Hurd. We submit
that, it also requires discussion, and
a good faith effort to resolve differences.

TEEN READ WEEK
I am urging teens to set aside the video
games and cell phones, to turn off the television set and grab a book during Teen
Read Week, scheduled from October 13
through October 19.
There are so many wonderful books
that are just waiting to be read. Today’s
technology-obsessed teens are missing an
opportunity to explore reading as an
option. I encourage parents to take their
children to the library or book store and
give them an opportunity to look through
some books and see what draws their
interest. Reading is a wonderful way to
enjoy adventures without ever leaving the
house. It’s fun and stimulates the mind
and imagination.
Teen Read Week, a national literacy
initiative organized by the Young Adult
Library Services Association (YALSA)
promotes the theme “Read For the Fun
Of It.” This year’s sub-theme is “Seek the
Unknown @ Your Library.” Participation
is free and as simple as encouraging children to pick up a book. It is a perfect time
to instill a lifetime love of reading,
Reading has been shown to help children expand their vocabularies, learn
more about the topics they love and
improve performance at school. Teens
can then vote for their favorite books in
the “2013 Teens’ Top Ten” contest at
ala.org/yalsa/reads4teens.
Each year, the state Assembly partners
with New York State libraries to encourage children to continue reading during
the summer months. Upon completion of
the Summer Reading Challenge, children
and teens receive a New York State
Assembly Excellence in Reading
Certificate. Teen Read Week provides an
opportunity to continue the summer reading momentum into the fall.
For additional information about how
to get involved, visit the Young Adult
Library Association’s website at

office at 516-676-0050.

OB Lions Club Raises $26,000
for Guide Dog Foundation
The Oyster Bay Lions Club raised
$26,000 for the Guide Dog Foundation
this year. These funds go to help train and
provide guide dogs for people who are
blind or visually impaired or who have
other disabilities.
Local business owners and leaders
founded the club in 1948, and more than
60 years later, the 32-member club is
going strong. They’re very active
throughout the year, including the Oyster
Bay Oyster Festival. The club’s main
fundraiser for the Guide Dog Foundation
is the annual spring benefit at the
Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club.
How do they choose names for the
pups the club sponsors? According to
Ginny Williams, former president, the
first two pups were named “Teddy,” after
Theodore Roosevelt, because of the connection to Oyster Bay. Both Teddys went
out as assistance dogs: Teddy is a guide
dog and Teddy II is a service dog for a
disabled veteran.
The club has also named pups in
memory of deceased members and honored long-time members for 50 years of
service to the Lions and their mission to
serve the community.
At the club’s most recent meeting
three more pups were named, bringing
the club’s total to eight. Soon Obie,
Ryder, and Iris will begin their journey to
become assistance dogs for people with
disabilities.

Confucius Acupuncture, A
Holistic Approach that Works
• LORIANN CODY
Located at 480 Forest Avenue in
Locust Valley, in Suite 509, Dr. Ying Duan
is making miracles happen. Well, at least
to her patients. Dr. Ying treats a long list of
injuries, symptoms and conditions, including (but not limited to): pain management,
infertility, arthritis, weight control, depression, skin disorders, TMJ and insomnia.
She will even help you quit smoking. Her
practice, located in Locust Valley and in
Manhattan, accepts most major insurance
plans and no-fault.
What sets Confucius Acupuncture
apart from other holistic practices is Dr.
Ying’s success in hard-to-treat cases. One
such success occurred with a 37-year old
woman who battled with infertility for
close to a year. After unsuccessfully going
with infertility drugs, the premenopausal
patient tried acupuncture and Chinese herb
treatments with Dr. Ying. Within 2
months, the patient’s FSH levels went
down, and within 4 months the patient was
pregnant.
In another unusual case, Dr. Ying treated a 10-year-old boy with tics. Over a few
years, the tics became more debilitating,
appearing to ‘spread’, encompassing
mouth and jaw movement, progressing to
neck twitches. A trip to the neurologist
ruled out more serious issues, but the tics
were affecting the boys self-esteem, making his school-life extremely stressful.
Dr. Ying Duan
After the initial consultation, Dr. Ying,
with her compassionate manner, decided
on a course of action. With only a few
acupuncture treatments, the eye blinking
diminished, but the other tics were harder
to treat. Dr. Ying chose a more aggressive
treatment, committing to seeing the
patient three times a week. After three
months of the more aggressive treatment,
there was a significant improvement.
Gradually, Dr. Ying weaned the patient off
the treatments. Four months later the tics
were gone. The patient is happy and more
confident.
For anyone with unusual and ‘untreatable’ medical conditions, and even those
with more treatable conditions, Confucius
Acupuncture may prove to be the healing
‘force’ you need. For more information
about conditions treated and accepted
insurance programs, visit: www.confuciusacu.com or call 516-598-1555.

R. Brinkley Smithers Golf
Invitational a $200K Success
The Long Island Council on
Alcoholism and Drug Dependence
(LICADD) held its 33rd Annual R.
Brinkley Smithers Golf Invitational on
September 23rd and brought in more
than $200,000 to support its life-saving
substance abuse prevention programs
and comprehensive addiction services.
More than 170 golfers teed-off at The
Creek and Piping Rock Clubs in Locust
Valley and 200 dinner guests gathered in
support of LICADD. Key sponsors
included: The Jobin Organization; The
Christopher D. Smithers Foundation;
Baum-Essex Manufacturing; Seafield
Center; Moritt Hock & Hamroff; Murray
Hill Suites; Daniel Gale Sotheby’s
International Realty; Hirshleifers; and
Astoria Federal Savings.
Former WABC News Sports Anchor
Scott Clark, who served as event emcee
and auctioneer, began the Diamonds in
the Rough Reception and Dinner at The
Creek. He spoke of his personal experiences with alcoholism and addressed the
importance of the services LICADD provides to children and families on Long
Island. Mr. Clark helped energize the
crowd throughout the award ceremony
and live auction and encouraged guests
to donate generously to combat the
growing crises of abuse, addiction and
drug-related fatalities in our communities.
This year’s tournament honored

LICADD Board Chair Jeffery
Capazzi explained the appeal of the R.
Brinkley Smithers Golf Invitational, “It
has been my pleasure to co-chair this
event year after year; the players enjoyed
a beautiful day on the greens, and we’ve
raised considerable funds to support
LICADD in executing its mission.”
A Local Author’s
‘Impeccable Connections’
• PATRICIA BREXEL
Malcolm MacKay’s,
“ I m p e c c a b l e
Connections: The Rise
and Fall of Richard
Whitney,” is more than a
wonderful
biography
about the man who
became the youngest
president of the New
York Stock Exchange. It
is also a great starting
point for understanding
the events that would
lead to the implementation of the securities regulations that endure to
this day. MacKay takes
the reader through a history lesson of the Whitney family and
weaves together the threads of the super
wealthy and very powerful figures of the
time. Through this tantalizing tale of
interconnected alumni and family ties,
MacKay tries to come out with a reason
for why a man who seemingly had it all
became one of the biggest embezzlers of
all time.
A local resident, MacKay based his
book on reports and records from the era,
as well as personal
conversations with
Whitney and his
family. The book
is an easy and compelling
read.
Though Whitney
was a ruthless and
unsympathetic
businessman, he
was also a gentleman. Accounts of
his heroics on the
floor of the stock
exchange
are
thrilling, albeit his
actions of short
selling and manipulation of stocks
are frightening. There is a sense of pity
as the once all-powerful wall-street giant
frantically tries to revive his crumbling
empire. There is a sense of grace as
Whitney does time at the infamous Sing
Sing prison. It is an incredible story that
is told by a very qualified writer who
knew Whitney in his later years.
Impeccable Connections is one connection every reader should make.

The Character of a Community
Saturday, September 28, was an
absolutely spectacular day in Oyster Bay
for Homecoming 2013. Unlike
Homecoming in recent years, there was
no rain, no snow; just bright blue skies
and puffy white clouds.
Spirits were high and smiles were on
faces as the community came together
and filled the stands to enjoy a football
game under the lights as the Baymen
hosted the Mules of Malverne. It quickly
became apparent that the Mules would
win the game.
This is when the Oyster Bay community really showed what it was made of.
On the field the young Baymen athletes
never gave up. They shook off the score
and fought hard, right up to the final
buzzer. Despite insurmountable odds, the
Baymen played with heart.

25 Years Ago...
By LC Colgate
It is the second week of
October, fall has arrived and
Soccer, Gymnastics, Tennis and
Cheerleading are in full swing,
thanks to the hard work and
dedication of our volunteers
and staff. Taekwondo continues
to be a favorite activity for our
Club kids and the 2014 season
of our ever popular Basketball
program is fast approaching.
Soon our gym bleachers will be
filled with parents and friends
cheering on their favorite team.
October also brings our
Hispanic Heritage Celebration
Dinner on Friday, October 18
from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The
cost is five dollars per person.
Please join us for great Latino
food, music and performances.
Each
year,
National
Hispanic Heritage Month
begins September 15, the official Independence Day for
Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua, and continues
through October 15. The
Independence Days for Mexico,
Chile and Belize also fall during
this time 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, our teen leadership program where members
develop leadership skills and
explore career and educational
opportunities while performing
community service.

The Generals Weekly Wrap-up
The 5-6 years-old Peanuts Battled
Franklin Square, but came up short losing
14 -7, After giving up two first half
touchdowns the Defense shutout the
Warriors in the 2nd half with great efforts
from Francesco Allocca and Liam
Gorney. The Offense struggled missing a
key piece from the O-line, but Nicholas
(Nicky) Spampinato on the O-Line and
Rodney Hill Jr. from the Quaterback
position stepped up to help lead Oyster
Bay to their only Touchdown by Allocca.
The Little Generals continue to improve
and are looking forward to their match up
next Sunday.
The 7-8 year old General defense
played hard and physical. If not for three
missed tackles the General defense
would have kept Farmingdale scoreless.
The General defense was led by a strong
effort on the defensive line, (Verdi 4 tackles 1 assist, Olivieri 3 tackles and
Rodriguez 3 tackles) as well strong linebacker play from Jaden Marshall who led
the team with 5 tackles and 1 assisted
tackle. The General offense was led by,
PJ Verdi 4 rushes 46 yards to lead the
team. The offense had success all day
moving the ball however a turnover early
in second half turned the game thwarted a
Generals comeback.
Even during a close game against a
very tough Farmingdale team (4-0),
every 7-8 year old General had significant playing time again this week.
The 9 year old Generals had a tough
day on the gridiron, losing to a deep
Inwood Buccaneer team, 34-6. Inwood
started fast building an 18-0 lead, but
Tighe Mullarkey threw a perfect 60 yard
scoring pass to Kyle Marshall running a
deep “Go” route to cut the score to 18-6
at halftime. In the second half, the
Generals were unable to keep pace
despite another torrid running attack by
Kyle Marshall. When Marshal left the
game later in the 3rd quarter, Tommy
Beggs stepped up with several tough
runs through the defense with Christian
DeBellis spreading the offense to keep
the Generals competitive. Tighe
Mullarkey also broke a 60 yard run but
was caught at the 7 yard line. On the next
play, a critical interception once again put
the Generals back on defense where
Mikey Palagonia, Joey Pothlanski,
Glen Cove Junior Soccer Marks
Season Opening
Roman Ragusa and James Ryan played
tough in the trenches with Mitch
Harmantas and Dylan Beggs filling in the
gaps. Giuseppe Alloca and William Ryan
found themselves in starting roles replacing key Generals personnel on both
offense and defense. Andrew Watts
played spectacularly, breaking up several
pass attempts by Inwood.
The 10 Year Old Generals of Oyster
Bay Bayville won a thrilling game over
East Rockaway, 14-13. In the first quarter, Matt Pisciotta for the Generals was
the first to score on a 45 yard touchdown
run with Luke Paniagua running for the
extra point. East Rockaway tied the score
up late in the first quarter on a sweep.
Score at the end of the first quarter was 77. Luke Paniagua scored on 45 yard QB
bootleg run with Matt Pisciotta running
up the middle for the extra point. Score
midway through the 2nd quarter was
Generals 14 - East Rockaway 7.
East Rockaway scored from 25 yards
out on a cutback run and with Sal
Mangano, Jake VanVelsor, Michael
Gangi and Ben Spampinato gang tackled
the opposing runner to stop him short of
the extra point. As it turns out, it was a
key play in the game as the final was 1413 win for the Generals.
Highlights: James Hosey with a key
1st quarter interception returning the ball
for 5 yards, Key fumble recovery by
Nathan Kearney and Alex Lodati stopped
drives by East Rockaway. Luke Paniagua
led the way defensively with 12 tackles
along with 6 by Jake Van Velsor, 4 by
David Hill and 3 by James Hosey.
The 11 Year Old Generals got back
into the win column with a dominating
team effort 25-0.
The entire Defense held Garden City
to 4 first downs with 56 total yards and
caused 3 turnovers. Aiden Danenza,
Danny Riso had interceptions and Carlo
Paz recovered an onside kick. Danenza
had a strong game with 3 TD's and Rocco
Barbero. 1 TD lead the offense. Carlo Paz
caught a key 20 yard pass for an important first down early in the game and also
had some key blocks on our TD drives.
Matt Murphy forced an interception as he
just missed a QB sac!
This was a great effort on both sides of
the ball by the entire Generals squad.
LVHS Beats Seaford 13-5
John Piscitello made a tackle on a
fourth-and one at the Locust Valley 46yard line with 6:59 remaining in the game
to ice the Nassau IV win. Jordan
Formicola scored two touchdowns. His
two-yard score with 10:26 left in the
fourth quarter gave the Falcons a 13-0
lead. He scored on a seven yard run with
4:36 remaining in the first quarter.
Formicola also intercepted a pass on the
Locust Valley four-yard line with 8:23
left in the fourth quarter. Piscitello made
eight tackles, including one for a loss, to
lead Locust Valley (3-1).
The Falcons travel to Cold Spring
Harbor next Saturday at 2pm.
TOB Hosts Baseball Jamboree
Aiden Van Ommeren “kicked” off first goal as Mayor Suozzi is positioned to play role of goalie.
On Saturday, September 21st families
and friends lined the streets as Glen Cove
Junior Soccer players marched in their
annual season-opening parade. Over 400
children were in attendance with their
proud parents carrying cameras in hand to
snap photos of their young players as they
passed by. Team members donned their
uniforms, carrying sponsor banners, all
local Glen Cove and area businesses. They
marched from the Middle School through
the downtown and on to John Maccarone
Memorial Stadium for the opening day ceremonies.
Ken Pilla gave opening remarks as master of ceremonies where he recognized his
colleagues on the league board and Marco
Mallusa, founder of the soccer league 44
years ago. He also thanked all of the families of the players for their continued support as he announced his retirement as
President of the League where he served
since 2007 and member of the Board of
Directors for the past twelve years. The
Glen Cove Junior Soccer League also
offered its sincere thanks to Parks and
Recreation Director, Darcy Belyea and all
of the grounds crew, in particular, Terry
Dailey, Department of Parks and
Recreation Supervisor.
After the opening remarks, Mayor
Ralph Suozzi presented both Ken Pilla and
Terry Dailey with citations. Mayor Suozzi
thanked Ken Pilla for volunteering and
serving as a role model for the youth of our
community and Terry Dailey for his commitment and hard work in making sure the
fields are in perfect playing condition for
all games.
The start of the season was marked by
Terry Dailey’s 5 year old nephew, Aiden
Van Ommeren, as he “kicked” off the first
goal and Mayor Suozzi played role of
goalie. The day concluded in a series of
games played by each division. For information, visit www.glencovejrsoccer.org
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John
Venditto announced that the Town of
Oyster Bay will host the Long Island
Challenger Baseball Jamboree at John J.
Burns Town Park, located on Merrick Road
in Massapequa. The special event brings
together Challenger teams from across
Long Island and from outside New York
State. This year’s event is scheduled for
Sunday, October 13 with registration beginning at noon and opening ceremonies at
12:45 p.m.
Challenger Baseball is a Little Leaguesanctioned program established in 1989
that gives physically and mentally challenged children the opportunity to play
baseball in an environment structured to
their abilities.
“The Town of Oyster Bay created their
first dedicated field at John J. Burns Park to
meet the special needs of the players with
features such as synthetic turf, which offers
a stable, uniform and shock-absorbing playing surface. Since then, we have added two
additional fields suitable for the Challenger
Division,” Supervisor Venditto said. “The
turf has the bases and pitcher’s mound
marked on the surface and not raised. This
enables safer and easier mobility for walk-
ers and wheelchairs. In addition, the field
has wider gate openings to accommodate
wheelchairs, cement pads to facilitate
access onto the field and nearby restroom
access.”
The league enables boys and girls with
physical and mental challenges, ages 4-18,
or up to age 22 if still enrolled in high
school, to enjoy the game of baseball along
with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide. Today,
more than 30,000 children participate in
upwards of 900 Challenger Divisions
worldwide. Teams are set up according to
abilities, rather than age, and can include as
many as 15-20 players. Challenger games
can be played as T-ball games, coach pitch,
player pitch, or a combination of the three.
According to Al Friese, Commissioner
of the Massapequa Coast Little League’s
Challenger Division, “Buddies” are utilized
for the benefit of Challenger players.
According to Friese, teams across Long
Island and one from New Jersey are expected to participate in the Jamboree. There will
also be games, inflatable rides and food for
everyone in attendance. At 3:00 p.m., there
will be Magic by John Lepre, to amaze and
entertain all who attend.
