West Shore Rd. Update
Despite the poor weather, and a work
stoppage due to lack of payment, work
is progressing at the construction site on
West Shore Road . From the Village of
Mill Neck’s 2-27-15 Update: The
majority of the work being done currently, is PSE&G pulling the new wires so
they can remove the poles and allow the
contractor to drive the sheathing for the
new sea wall. They had eight crews
working on this so the Village is hopeful
it will be completed by the end of the
first week in March. Cablevision has
finished their work.
As a reminder, the road is closed to
pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles
until further notice. Please take extra
care traveling through the detours.
A link to the detours and schedules are
on the Village’s website: millneckvillage.com. The Village of Mill Neck has
asked the Old Brookville Police
Department to help deter speeding on
the Village roads during the project.
Bayville Mayor Paul Rupp
announced at the Monday, February
23rd Bayville Public Village Board
meeting that the contractor had walked
off the West Shore Road southern phase
project due to lack of payment. Bayville
Village officials reached out to Nassau
County to request that everything possible be done to resume work on West
Shore Rd. as soon as possible.
As of February 27th, the contractor
has been back at work, and utility
companies continue to move lines
underground. The county does not
foresee a delay in the completion date
for the project. Partial opening of
the road is still expected sometime in
April. Additional information can be
found on the Revitalize West Shore
Road Facebook page.

EDITORIAL
IWO’S 70TH ANNIVERSARY
Seventy years ago this week
dawn broke over the volcanic
island of Iwo Jima which the
Japanese occupied due to its strategic importance of being only 750
miles from Tokyo and mainland
Japan. An armada of 450 ships
carrying US marines of the 3rd
Marine division poured over the
sides of their troop transport and
into awaiting LCVP and Higgins
boats to be taken ashore to take this
otherwise worthless piece of real
estate. Little did they know that
this would be one of the bloodiest
battles of World War II.
After 36 days of close quarter
combat, 6821 marines lost their
lives in this engagement. PFC
William (Bill) Leahy was one such
marine that survived the bloody
engagement and now in his 90s
recalls the events that he actively
participated in which moved
America closer to victory in the
Pacific. As a young Marine of 17,
Bill had enlisted in the Marine
Corp giving up the comfort of his
home in New York only to find
himself on this Godforsaken volcanic island with its smell of
sulpher black ash terrain and
denuded vegetation.
Iwo Jima is only eight square
miles in size and is dominated by
the 550 ft high dormant volcano
near its southern tip, known as Mt.
Suribachi. The landing on IWO
met with stiff resistance from a
desperate Japanese army who were
well aware that the war was going
badly against them. They put up a
ferocious defense against the
Marine onslaught, but overwhelming force and the equal determination by young marines such as Bill
Leahy proved irresistible. In the
end most of the 22,000 Japanese
soldiers were killed with only 216
taken as prisoner. Bill Leahy captured one such Japanese soldier
and he recounts in the article
appearing in this edition of the
newspaper the difficulty he faced
in removing this prisoner to the
rear.
Today, Japan is one of
America’s staunchest allies in the
Far East. The sound of distant
drums have faded from the memory of most Americans with the
exception of people such as Bill
Leahy, who as a teenager fought
and survived carrying with him
vivid memories of the furnace of
hell he entered as a teenage and
lived to give us this account of a
battle that became symbolic of the
sacrifice and valor of young
Marines who helped defeat the
Japanese in World War II.

PSEG AND LIPA INCREASE
To the Editor,
Almost two years ago, Governor
Andrew Cuomo signed the LIPA Reform
Act. For Long Islanders who suffered
devastation from super storm Sandy and
the after effects, as well as those who
were weary of utility rates considered to
be among the highest in the nation, it was
a sign things were moving in the right
direction.
The naysayers who objected to PSEG
- an out-of-state company running things
on Long Island – as well as an agreement
that erased regulation and oversight of
contracts by the state attorney general and
comptroller, were outnumbered by those
who believed that real reform of LIPA
was a necessity.
Another benefit, advocates cited, was
that the LIPA Reform Act would ensure
rates for the delivery portion of consumer’s electric bill would not increase
for three years. However, there is no such
assurance included in the Reform Act
regarding the power supply charge, which
represents about 50% of a ratepayers’
electric bill and has actually increased
several times in the last 12 months.
Now, less than three years in, PSEG
and LIPA are seeking increases of 3.8 percent for each of three years in the delivery
charge. With delivery charges frozen until
2015, the proposed rate increases would
hike the monthly bill about $3.25 beginning in 2016 through 2018.
According to PSEG and LIPA officials, the increase is needed for numerous
things including infrastructure improvements, tree trimming, equipment and
more. One part of the revenue would create a reserve fund that would assist LIPA
with its credit rating and borrowing
money. That, of course, would be a good
thing.
However, it’s becoming clear that this
road has a few curves that may or may not
have been anticipated and many of those
who believed things would be better with
PSEG running things, are sitting up to
take notice recognizing that the delivery
charge rate can continue to rise year after
year, with no oversight or review.
And, the reality is that we don’t know
at this stage if PSEG is doing a better job
because we haven’t had – thankfully –
another super storm of the magnitude of
Sandy. One thing is sure: ratepayers will
be facing increases in the delivery charge
beginning in 2016. There will be public
hearings to justify the increase. The newly
created Department of Public Service on
Long Island will review the request – an
agency lacking power - and ultimately the
LIPA board of trustees will decide
whether it should be granted….the same
board that made the request for the
increase.
That system does not protect Long
Island ratepayers nor does it provide the
sorely needed oversight that provides
transparency. The state attorney general
and comptroller were cut out of the
process for expediency, or so it was said.
However, faster doesn’t always mean better and for that reason the power of oversight needs to be restored. It is a vital
component of earning the trust of the people you serve.

ENERGY CONSERVATION TIPS
To the Editor,
With gas and oil prices still high, many
people are trying harder than ever to conserve energy, but high prices are just one
reason to conserve energy.
Anyone who owns a home or drives a
vehicle has been impacted by the high
energy prices. Our energy resources are
not infinite, and in the long run, energy
conservation is good for the environment,
as well as our personal finances.
The best place to start saving energy is
at home. Home heating and cooling systems use tremendous amount of energy.
Maximize their efficiency and minimize
their fuel consumption by making sure
they are operating properly.
There are other ways to help keep
heating and cooling bills down, such as
finding and repairing leaks around windows, doors, foundations, electrical outlets, exhaust fans and attic openings.
Additionally, lighting is another large
energy consumer. Residents are encouraged to select energy-saving bulbs and
fixtures when replacements are being
made. Also, it is recommended that residents light only areas that are being used,
and turn off the lights when you leave the
room. You can also apply this same principle to televisions, home entertainment
systems and computers.
I encourage residents to use ‘energy
sense’ when it comes to operating appliances. For example, wait until you have
full loads before running the dishwasher
or washing machine. Recycling is another important way you can help save energy and help the environment in the long
run. Returning recyclable materials to the
marketplace save valuable resources.
Outside the home, the family car or
SUV is the largest energy consumer. To
help save fuel, make sure your vehicle is
properly tuned up. Have the engine
checked regularly to spot any problems
that could be increasing fuel consumption. Short car trips consume more energy,
so plan one trip to do your shopping and
errands rather than taking individual trips.
Conserving energy isn’t difficult, but it
does take some thoughtful planning. The
result, though, is that we will use our
resources more effectively while still
obtaining maximum comfort and satisfaction from the energy-consuming products
in our lives and, perhaps, saving ourselves
a few dollars in the process.
Sincerely,
John Venditto
Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor

Iwo Jima Remembered
William Leahy, at 17, enlisted in the
U.S.M.C. in December, 1943. At that age,
he needed parental permission to join.
Eventually his mother relented and
signed the form. Less than one year later
the young Marine fought in what is considered the bloodiest battle the Corps has
engaged in to date. In the following,
Leahy vividly recalls some memories of
the 36 days he spent on Iwo Jima.
In his words:
There was a war going on and I wanted to fight for our country. After boot
camp at Parris Island, S.C. much to my
disappointment, I was assigned to guard
duty in Maryland. One day I noticed a
Fleet Marine Force sign-up sheet on a
bulletin board at the camp. I immediately
signed my name to it. An old Marine,
with previous service, a “retread” were
the only Marines available for guard duty
except me. He told me, “To forget it, the
notice had been there forever, and no one
was ever called up.”
I proved that old Marine wrong. After
some advanced training at Camp
Lejeune, N.C., I eventually arrived in
Guam in October, 1944. I was assigned to
the 3rd Pioneers of the 3rd Marine
Division. We shipped out and headed for
an eight-square-mile volcanic island
called Iwo Jima, about 750 miles south of
Japan. It was heavily fortified with about
22,000 Japanese soldiers and it was said
to be impregnable.
We were there on the first day of the
invasion, February 19, 1945. For the first
10 hours everything seemed to be going
well. We were still on our transport ship,
but we could hear everything that was
going on through the P.A. system. Then a
Kamikaze raid badly damaged one of the
carriers in the fleet and forced us to head
out to sea. We were just a sitting duck in
the harbor.
The next day, they let down the cargo
nets on our ship and down we scramble
onto our landing craft. No mean task that
was. Three times that day, we climbed up
and down the cargo net because the
artillery and wreckage made it impossible
to make a beach assault.
My company, Fox Company, 2nd
Battalion, 21st Marines, about 240 men
or so, finally hit the beach the next day.
There were American bodies everywhere. I don’t think I saw a dead enemy
soldier for about a week. They were all
underground, dug into caves.
We were getting hit hard. We were
taking a pounding. They were giving
everything they had. We dug in foxholes
as fast as we could. But the holes kept
filling in, because the whole island was
made up of very fine volcanic ash.
Marines were getting hit all around me.
Then we advanced up the island, alternating between forward and reserve
units. But even if you were in the reserve
you could be assigned to stretcher duty,
bringing in the wounded and the dead
from the front lines, which in many ways
was worse. A buddy of mine, Charles
Thomas Lochre, from Johnstown,
Pennsylvania, went out on stretcher duty
and I never saw him again. We lived and
fought side-by-side and then he was dead.
I saw the flag go up. The famous one on
top of Mt. Suribachi. That hill was captured a few days after the invasion. A lot
of people think that was at the end of the
invasion. But we had many more rough
battles ahead of us. Actually, the worst
action was in the northern part of the
island. That’s where the Japanese headquarters and their General were located.
There were two things all the ground
troops hated, tanks and rocket launchers.
And I don’t mean the Japanese tanks and
rocket launchers. As soon as our tanks
came in or the artillery started deploying
the rocket launchers, the Japanese would
zero in on us. The guys in the tanks were
all zippered in but the guys on the ground
really caught it.
I guess they fed us all-right, mostly
cold K-rations. Once in a while they’d
manage to bring in big vacuum bottles of
hot coffee up to the front if the action
calmed down. Most think of the Pacific
as hot and balmy. But actually it was pretty chilly, especially when it rained. Once
during those 36 days, I actually got to
have a hot shower. After about four
weeks we were pretty “skuzzy”. Our uniforms were covered with blood from carrying out the dead and wounded. They
took my dirty clothes and threw them
away and gave me new ones.
Our favorite defense weapon was a
bulldozer. We put some metal up around
by the operator and he would raise the
blade and forge ahead into the enemy
lines. The Japs were all underground.
They had a very intricate network of tunnels. One day my buddy, Ralphie Lane
from Brooklyn, and I were clearing a
cave. I don’t know how it happened but
& $ & " " ! !
#" % that time he went in first. I heard a
scream, saw a gun flash and I fired at it. I
guess I hit the Jap. We pulled my buddy
out and blew the cave. There were probably more of them in there. I just don’t
know for sure. But Ralphie was dead,
shot in the head.
They also had something called a spider trap. The enemy would bury steel,
like our 55-gallon drums, in the ground,
get inside, and camouflage the top, wait
for a patrol to pass by and then pop out
and shoot us. Well the bulldozer worked
out real fine in those situations. On one
sweep we captured a Japanese soldier
who was in a spider trap. His legs were
sticking up out of the ground. When we
pulled him out he indicated that his leg
was injured and he couldn’t walk, so we
put him in a shelter half and took him
back to the CP. On the way to the rear,
numerous Marines wanted to shoot and
kill this injured Japanese soldier. I had to
fend them off on several occasions.
Saving him proved worthwhile, because
it turned out that the next day they gave
him a radio and sent him behind the
Japanese lines in an effort to get the
Japanese General to surrender.
That’s about the only time you’d capture a Jap. They never gave up. I admired
them. They were tenacious fighters. I didn’t hate them. They were the other team
and they lost. And they lost big. Out of
the estimated 22,000 Japanese soldiers on
the island, we only captured 216. Some
3000 Japanese soldiers were hiding in the
William Leahy
caves, and eventually surrendered or
committed suicide. The ones that surrendered were surprised by the American’s
kindness in offering cigarettes, and water.
We took a very heavy hit. Of the 60,000
Marines who took part in the invasion,
6,831 were killed and 19,000 were
wounded. I was one of the rarities of that
battle. I was never wounded.
When the island was pretty secure, we
turned it over to the Army on April 1st.
We went back to Guam to train for a
planned November 1st invasion of Japan.
If the Japanese fought so hard for a tiny
island like Iwo Jima, what would they

College Board Changes the
Dates for the PSAT
• LORIANN CODY
In recently published reports, College
Board, the organization behind the
Preliminary SAT/ National Merit
Scholarship
Qualifying
Test
(PSAT/NMSQT),
the
Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) and Advanced
Placement (AP) high school programs,
has changed the dates the PSAT will be
offered. Starting this fall, the PSAT test
dates will be on two Wednesdays, not on
a Wednesday and Saturday.
While this change may seem insignificant, by not offering the Saturday test
date, College Board is potentially limiting the amount of students that have
access to take the test. Schools will no
longer be able to offer the test on a
Saturday, an option that did not impact
instructional time, or space accommodations.
College Board has changed the PSAT
testing days in anticipation of a restructured SAT that is expected in March
2016. College Board cites that by having
two Wednesday PSAT Fall test dates,
students will be better prepared to take
the new SAT in the Spring.
However, the opposite may be true.
State Assemblyman Charles Lavine
(D, Glen Cove) agrees. In a recent letter
to the College Board, Assemblyman
Lavine urged the educational organization to reconsider their decision. He stated, “students facing a loss of instruction
time may opt to bypass the PSAT while
others may be shut out of the process by
a lack of space to accommodate all the
students.”
The PSAT, the precursor to the SAT,
is the test that is used to award National
Merit Scholarships. National Merit
Scholarships range in amount from $500
to $2500, annually, and some colleges
offer additional merit assistance scholarships (up to full-paid tuition) and some
corporations do, as well. For some students, the Merit Scholarships are a necessity. By limiting the testing days, College
Board may also be limiting the amount
of students that have access to the test.
At the same time they are changing
the testing days, College Board is touting
earlier access to scholarships for lowincome and minority students. On their
website, College Board announced partnerships with 5 of the countries leading
scholarships funds to allow greater
access to scholarships and information to
better help these students attend college.
The funds include the Hispanic
Scholarship Fund (HSF), Jack Kent
Cooke Foundation (JKCF), and the
United Negro College Fund (UNCF).

the 1950s, 60s and 70s during the initial
heyday of Barbies and Matchbox toys.
This period of huge, post-World War II
suburban expansion with massive new
interstate road projects, car manufacturing and an explosion of the fashion industry, is directly reflected in the toys exhibited. The show will be held in the 1957
Manor House with its stylish rooms,
making a perfect backdrop for the glamorous Barbies.
Planting Fields opened as a New York
State Park in 1972, at a time when ever
increasing numbers of Long Islanders
Barbie and Matchbox cars.
were driving to State parks for recreational activities. With more and more new
and exciting models of cars being produced every year, finely detailed versions
of these cars were produced for children,
by Mattel. These stylishly-made miniature vehicles and the gorgeous Barbies
make the show appealing to, not just boys
Bayville Senior Citizens Club
• VICTORIA SIEGEL
The Bayville Senior Citizen Club isn’t
all about fun, trips, and friendship; it is
also about keeping informed or important
issues such as, putting financial, personal, and legal issues in order.
At the February 24th meeting, the
club members heard from two leaders in
their field on what needs to be done in
order that should the need, present its
self, everything would be in place, thereby less stressful for everyone concerned.
Deborah-Ann Siegel, CPA of D.
Siegel, CPA, 40 Bayville Avenue,
Bayville, addressed the Estate Tax and
how one is affected. What can be done to
reduce the estate tax burden as well as the
documents that you should have – Power
of Attorney, Health Proxy, Will, Trust.
Also discussed were the various income
types – Social Security, wages, alimony,
pension, dividends, etc. Many assets one
accumulates over a lifetime – primary
residence, vacation home, annuities, collectibles and more.
Ms. Siegel stated that it was very
important that there should be a review of
beneficiaries in your existing life insurance annuity retirement plans, and wills
to ensure they have a valid beneficiary.
This review should take place annually
or whenever there is a change in family
structure, such as a marriage, divorce,
Deborah-Ann Siegel, CPA
and girls, but to men and women, too.
For the exhibition guest curator,
Matthew Bird, an associate professor of
industrial design at the Rhode Island
School of Design, bought over three hundred dolls and miniature cars on eBay,
spanning the late 1950s through 2009, the
year Barbie marked its 50th Anniversary.
Bird says that, “Barbies and Matchbox
cars are just as valuable today as they
were in the 1950s for one reason: they
helped, and still help, kids imagine themselves as grownups. They made for personal empowerment”.
In the exhibition the dolls and cars are
grouped chronologically, diorama-style,
on individual stands. The dolls are
accompanied by vintage print advertisements. An old issue of Life magazine features Hollywood star, Grace Kelly, whose
dress on the cover inspired the inaugural
run of Barbies in 1959.
Henry Joyce, Executive Director of
Planting Fields Foundation which is presenting the exhibition says that, “the toys
make a stunning show and tell a compelling history of how toy manufacturers
used contemporary fashion and design to
create a new phenomenon in popular culture - fabulous toys”.

There was also a discussion of estate
planning tools: gifting, 529 plan/college
saving plans, charitable giving, life insurance, and pre-paid funeral arrangements.
The office of D. Siege also offers an
Estate Box which will organize your senior care plans to make it easy on your

Hutcher and Citron LLP, 200 Garden
City Plaza, Garden City, addressed the
legal reasons for – health care proxies,
power of attorney, advance directives
(living wills, health care proxy and do not
resuscitate – DNR.)
Ms. Galante explained the following
estate planning tools: last will and testament, trusts which can be revocable (that
you as grantor will continue to have power
over the assets in the trust) and irrevocable
(you as grantor no longer have any power
over the assets and a trustee will manage.)
Irrevocable trusts are often used for
Medicaid planning purposes.
Maria Galante, Esq. also stated that not
all trusts are created equal and one should
seek the advice of a trust and estates attorney and an accountant before devising
such a tool for your estate planning.

LV Author Promotes New Book
LV Falcons Scores
Locust Valley High School Wrestling Team
Rajdeep Paulus at a previous book signing
• LORIANN CODY
Locust Valley author Rajdeep Paulus
is expecting the final book in her young
adult fiction trilogy to be available in
stores in late April. Towards that end, she
is promoting “Soaring Through Stars,” at
the upcoming launch party, scheduled for
April 23, at 7:00 PM at the Book Revue
in Huntington. “Soaring Through Stars”
completes the trilogy that began with
“Swimming Through Clouds” and
“Seeing Through Stones.”
Rajdeep “call me Raj” Paulus, who
books are also on sale on Amazon.com,
was a recently featured author on their
home page. Raj writes about a new kind
of hero, and tackles tough subjects.
“Swimming Through Clouds,” the first in
the trilogy, is about hope and kindness,
but it’s also about child abuse, humantrafficking, domestic violence, and the
isolation that can be part of immigrant
life. It chronicles the relationship
Rajdeep discussing her books
between siblings Talia and Jesse
Vanderbilt, who live with an abusive
father, but it is really Talia’s story and her
friendship with classmate Lagan. “Seeing
Through Stones,” focuses on Jesse, his
desire for freedom from their abusive
father.
Raj is still waiting for the reviews to
come in for “Soaring Through Stars,” but
she did send me a quote from the back
cover:
“Talia and Jesse Vanderbilt have
escaped a childhood full of abuse, and
when they have a chance to put their
father behind bars, setbacks arise from
every direction. The siblings can't help
but consider the option to walk away and
move on with their lives. Then someone
unexpected brings his own secrets, forcing the Vanderbilt teens to revisit their
pasts and rethink their plans. Through it
all, Lagan and Talia’s Post-it love story
blossoms, while Jesse and Summer hit
roadblocks. From the award-winning
author of Swimming Through Clouds
and Seeing Through Stones comes a
powerful story of freedom and belonging
in this final book of the young adult trilogy that began with an invitation on a little Post-it note.”
Young adult fiction is an up and coming genre, and both the first two books in
the series are a fast, ‘you-don’t-want-toput-it-down’ kind of read. By tackling
tough subjects in a thoughtful manner,
Raj has set herself apart from the usual
young adult fiction author. You can purchase her books on www.amazon.com,
www.playlistfiction.com, or at local independent booksellers such as The Book
Revue in Huntington and Forest Books in
Locust Valley. She’s on facebook at:

fight like for their own homeland? I had
decided at that point that I would never
make it home. Then the atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, and Japan finally surrendered,
on September 2, 1945. The dropping of
the atomic bomb proved to be a good
decision as it saved hundreds of thou-
sands of lives on both sides.
I came home on my 20th birthday,
April 22, 1946. Being in the Marine Corps
was the defining point of my life. But,
looking back now, it seems like a vignette
from a distant past. Sort of like when I read
about the Civil War as a child and imagined what it would be like to fight in a war.
I sometimes wonder if I was really there.

At the Annual NY State wrestling
championships in Albany NY this past
weekend, Mexico High school of
Syracuse (2nd place last year) edged out
Locust Valley Defending State
Champions 103 pts. to 99 1/2 pts. At
press time the final scoring is not official.
A recount is in order. Locust Valley may
have not been given the proper points
deserved for the 7 pins they achieved on
Day 1 of the tournament.
Sophomore Jon Gomez down 6 to 2
entering the final period tied the score at
6 and then Gomez won his first state title
in overtime. Senior Nick Cassella had an
outstanding tournament and won the
state title in the 132 lb. Wt. class. Casella
is now a 4 time All American. One 1st
place title, 2 - 2nd place and last year a
5th place finish. Senior Sam Ward 138
lbs. lost a tough match 7 to 6, in the
Finals, on a controversial call where his
opponent Hunter Richard was given 2
extra pts., during a “roll” series in the 3rd
and final period which gave Richard
from Holland Patent High School the
title. Most of the people I talked with
from other schools felt Ward should have
won the match, that an improper call hurt
Ward. Also Kevin Jackson placed 4th in
NY State at the 145 lb. wt. class. And last
year’s NY State Champion sophomore
Hunter Dusold 120 lbs., lost his state
semi final match. Dusold had to wrestle
back and placed 5th.
Helping L.I. Firefighters
Buy Homes
The Nassau County Firefighters
Museum in Garden City has invited a
mortgage expert from Evolve Bank &
Trust to speak with Nassau County firefighters and their families at a special session at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March
25th.
As many young firefighters find
homeownership on Long Island prohibitively expensive, forcing them to relocate
to less costly parts of the country – taking
with them the valuable firefighter training obtained at Long Island’s local volunteer fire departments. Evolve Bank &
Trust, a supporter of the Nassau County
Firefighters Museum, sought to help with
this issue once it was brought to their
attention.
Oyster
Bay
resident
James
Cammarata, an attorney and an Oyster
Bay volunteer firefighter/AEMT since
1979 and NCFF Museum board member
will participate in the information session, to discuss and answer questions
about the home-buying process.
Thomas M. Sullivan, CPA, the LPO
Manager of Evolve Bank & Trust, a
Long Island resident with broad experience in mortgages will provide attending
firefighters with information on options
and opportunities during a realistic
overview of the Long Island home-buying landscape. Topics will include firsttime homebuyer programs; an overview
of the different traditional loan programs
such as conventional, FHA, VA, plus
things to consider when deciding
between a house, condo or co-op. This
program will be of great interest to firsttime home buyers and single buyers, as
well as young families and couples.
Tom, a graduate of C.W. Post, has
earned a reputation as a “mortgage professor” among many of his customers.
His ties to the fire department date back
to his childhood in North Massapequa.
His father served 25 years in the FDNY
and was a captain when he retired.
While his father passed away when Tom
was a teenager, he never lost his passion
for the fire service and appreciation of all
that it represents.
The free information session is open
to the first responding First Responders!
Seating capacity is 50 persons and the
general public may attend if there is room
available. RSVP via email to
[email protected] or call
(516) 572-4177, ext. 4.
Evolve Bank & Trust will donate
$500.00 to the Nassau County
Firefighters Museum & Education
Center for every mortgage client from
this event or the Museum.
About the Francis X. Pendl Nassau
County Firefighters Museum &
Education Center: The nearly 10,000
square-foot teaching facility features
hands-on displays, historical fire equipment and live demonstrations on fire prevention and fire safety techniques. Since
opening in June of 2006, more than
100,000 visitors of all ages have been
taken step-by-step through a working
fire, from alarm activation and emergency call to the “knocking down” of
flames at the scene. The Center’s
exhibits also trace the evolution of fire
service equipment, gear and apparatus.

I am writing to share some sad
news with the community. Within the
last few weeks, we lost two individuals who had a long history with our
Club: Ruth Colgrove and Jane Hahn.
Ruth Colgrove passed away on
Thursday, February 12, 2015. She
was 90 years old. Mrs. Colgrove was
the wife of Gray Colgrove, our Club’s
Board President from 1978 to 1984.
Mrs. Colgrove was involved in many
Club fund raisers and activities,
including the Clothing Sale, Mother’s
Club and the Dinner Dance to name a
few. Mrs. Colgrove would often visit
the Club just to learn how things were
going with the staff and our kids.
Their son, Peter, who is a Club alumnus was on our Board of Directors for
several years. Ruth was also active
with St. John’s Church, Meals on
Wheels and the Friends of the Locust
Valley Library. Active well into her
eighties, Ruth loved to skate at the
Beaver Dam Club, play tennis at the
Creek, walk with the Winter Weezers
and canoe on Tunk Lake in Maine.
Jane Hahn passed away on
Sunday, February 15, 2015. She was
89 years old. For more than 20 years,
Jane worked as a member of our staff
as the Club secretary until 1993.
Jane’s husband, Bill was a longtime
coach here at the Boys Club along
with his brother Brian. Jane worked
on the clothing sale for more than 30
years. She was instrumental in creating most, if not all, of the scrapbooks
of the Club’s history that we often
refer to today. In addition, she was
responsible for typing all the Club’s
correspondence, which seems like a
minor task but we need to remember
this was when there were no computers. And we sent out many letters,
even in those days to raise funds to
run the Club. Jane was the first secretary I had here at Grenville Baker—
she was a gem—the most polite person I have ever met. Among her many
nieces and nephews, is Holly Katz, a
member of our Board of Trustees.
Both of these ladies represented
our organization with pride and
enthusiasm—both believed in what
our mission and the children we
serve. They will both be missed.
Our condolences to their respective
families.
