September 18, 2013 The Leader Page 3 Fabulous Ferrari‑Maserati Car Show in Locust Valley Events. Others included Sweet Tomato, Page One and Metropolitan Bistro. The Chamber also provided deserts and champagne. The selections of wine vendors were provided by Michael Chait from Marquis Wines & Spirits. Anthony Fiamma of Vino Fiamma provided sparkling champagne. A beautiful pair of diamond earrings, compliments of LeJoaillier, value $1780.00 were raffled. And the lucky winner was Eammon Lavin of Lattingtown. Trois Jours Boutique provided a fur wrap, value of $300, which was won by Amy Margolis. The shops of Locust Valley provided the 10 other gift baskets raffles. All monies from the raffle will be donated to the LVCC beautification fund. LV Chamber members who made it all happen (l-r), Marion Lippiello, Greg Lanza, Anna Gallo, Len Margolis and Kaye Weninger Photo by Sally Bandow When driving the country roads on the North Shore of Long Island, or as many refer to this area as the “Gold Coast,” one will catch a glimpse of a striking flash of red go by, or a beautiful couple strolling the sunny day in their show car. But there are many of us who can’t buy, but we can look. The best thing about an auto show is the chance to gawk at the cars most people can’t afford to buy. When one thinks of cars and luxury and speed - Ferrari comes to mind. On Sunday, the Locust Valley Chamber of Commerce held their first annual car show in partnership with FerrariMaserati of Long Island. Many cars started their engines and drove to the North Shore of Long Island to display their pride and joy. Sunday afternoon was a beautiful day in the village and if one passed the center of town from 4:00 - 6:00 pm they would have seen the hamlet transformed into a elegant festival with black and white racing flags, and many people. The car show event was coordinated by FerrariMaserati of Long Island, coordinator Laura Fisher-Petrocelli, and LV Chamber of Commerce Project Coordinator Greg Lanza, with the help of the board of directors: Len Margolis, Kaye Weninger, Anna Villilla, Carol Cotton, Asgeir Asgeirsson and Allison O’Rourke. Approximately 34 cars were parked in the parking lots on Elm Street, next to the train station in Locust Valley. They were so beautifully displayed, it mesmerized the people who came to catch a glance, close-up, of these exotic cars. In conjunction with the luxury auto show, the LV Chamber held a food and wine tasting. The attendance was well over 150 people. The entrance fee was $20 and the monies will be split: 50% will be given as a donation to the Don Monti Cancer Foundation, in the name of Ferrari-Masareti of Long Island, and 50% will be used for the Christmas Beautification Fund in Locust Valley. The LV Chamber had 8 fabulous tastings from vendors on the North Shore which included our own local eateriesMeridian, The Brass Rail, The Basil Leaf, the Locust Valley Market, Jeff Lawton As the sun started to set and cars were leaving the village, you could hear the engines and see them drift into the distance and think: We see them in the movies and dream: FERRARI 458 SPECIALE: Should you need to accelerate to 62 miles per hour in 3 seconds flat, and go twice as fast again in another 6.1 seconds, this is your car. Top speed is above 202 mph. With its dipped hood, the 458 Speciale is slighter and less muscularlooking than the typical Ferrari. The price in Italy starts at $315,000. It was a nice daydream and a beautiful way to spend the afternoon in Locust Valley. Music was sponsored by Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty. Decorations by Soundside Physical Therapy. Suozzi Wins Helene and Tom Suozzi On Tuesday, September 10, Nassau County Executive Candidate Tom Suozzi held a Primary Watch Party at the Polish National Home in Glen Cove, where he joined supporters as they waited for the results of that night’s Primary Election. Suozzi celebrated his 59% victory to become the Democratic Candidate in the County Executive race surrounded by well-wishers, fellow candidates and most importantly – his wife Helene. Photo by Frank Bradford Photography City of Glen Cove and NS‑LIJ Freon Litigation Mark Solazzo, COO of the North Shore-LIJ Hospital, confirmed to Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi that the proposed services’ cutbacks at Glen Cove Hospital are completely unrelated to the pending litigation. There is absolutely no basis in fact to support the unfounded speculation of any connection between these two unrelated matters. “Our plans have been established solely on the basis of ensuring the hospital’s viability into the future. Our planning is in no way related to the City’s Freon litigation,” stated Solazzo. Mayor Suozzi explained the City had no choice but to commence the suit against those who polluted the City’s water. Indeed, said the Mayor, “The City Council tried to avoid litigation but ultimately we had no choice. The choice was either the citizens pay or the polluters pay. We chose to go after the polluters. Suozzi said, ”Anyone who thinks that NS-LIJ would even considering closing a hospital on the basis of a year-old lawsuit that protects human health and safety and our City assets, is misguided.” In September 2009, testing revealed the presence of a toxic chemical called Chlorodifluoromethane in the groundwater pumped from the City’s “Seaman Road Well.” Chlorodifluoromethane (R22,” sometimes referred to as Freon-22) is a liquefied gas used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Due to its deleterious effects on the ozone layer, this man-made chemical compound is being phased out world-wide, by signatories to the Montreal protocol, including the U.S. From September 2009-February 2010, monthly water testing revealed the level of Freon in the City’s water from the Seaman Road Well was steadily increasing. Fortunately, the city was able to utilize a pre-existing Granulated Activated Carbon filter to prevent the Freon from reaching its water customers. On March 8, 2010, however, Freon levels in the City’s water supply surpassed the NY State and Nassau County Department of Health’s Maximum contaminant Level. According to the Nassau County Department of Health policy, a well must be shut down when the contaminant level is too high. The City of Glen Cove complied with the requirements to protect its residents, and the Seaman Road Well has been off-line ever since. The NCDOH refused to permit even emergency use of the well, (i.e. in case of fire). The City Council retained, on a contingency basis, Napoli, Bern, Ripka, Shkolnik & Associates, LLP, a New York City based law firm. The decision was that the firm previously recovered over $1 million for the City arising from contamination of its groundwater by the gasoline additive, methyl-tertiary butyl ether. The firm and the City repeatedly attempted to open a dialogue with NSLIJ, which referred all communication to outside counsel. Glen Cove City’s hand was forced due to an approaching statute of limitations, so the City commenced litigation. Napoli, NBRSA’s Managing Partner, said,” It is an unfortunate coincidence. The downsizing of the hospital has nothing to do with the lawsuit. Insurance should cover any verdict or settlement of the City’s claims.” In October 2012, NS-LIJ discontinued use of the system and installed a new well that does not use Freon. Page 4 The Leader September 18, 2013 EDITORIAL RUSSIAN BEAR Over the course of this past week we have witnessed the Russian bear, in the form of Russian President Vladimir Putin, emerge from international hibernation and, once again assert itself on the world stage. With dramatic last minute negotiations he was able to start a dialogue that was thrown away as impossible, in a speech delivered earlier by Secretary of State John Kerry. Putin proved the impossible was possible, much to the embarrassment but relief of those hunkered down at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their schizophrenic view of possible American military and diplomatic initiatives. Both President Obama and Secretary Kerry were quick to grab the lifeline thrown by Putin, and disingenuously sought to attribute the diplomatic option to President Obama’s threat to use military force against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad forces in the field. The fact of the matter is that Obama’s use of force was highly unlikely due to his paramount concern over retaliation by Syria and Iran against our allies in the region, as well as our being dragged into another Middle Eastern war. The one positive factor that has emerged to date is the acknowledgement by Assad that his administration does possess weapons of mass destruction. However, the enforcement of the dismantling and punishment for failure to do so has now been kicked over to the United Nations, where endless discussions and committees will, in the end, refer the matter to the Security Council, should enforcement be necessary. As we are all aware, Russia and China have the power to veto any resolution calling for United Nations military action against Syria, so this issue, along with Benghazi and Fast and Furious, will find itself without a sponsor to die on the vine of political inaction and citizen disinterest. What else is new in the Age of Obama? The Publisher LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: We encourage our readers to express their view regardless of opinion, through the Letters to the Editor column.

OPERATION WOUNDED WARRIOR To the Editor: To all of our many supporters over the past 5 years who have given so generously of their time and their money to help with our mission of assisting our injured troops and their families, we cannot thank you enough. Because of your support, the Locust Valley FD Operation Wounded Warrior has raised a total of just over $150,000 altogether over the past 5 years. This has in turn both helped to ease the burdens of and bring smiles to hundreds of injured veterans and their families, locally and afar. However, due to circumstances out of our control, we, the committee, regret to inform you that we are unable to hold our annual pasta dinner fundraiser this year. We do hope and expect to resume again next year as unfortunately the needs of our military injured men & women still exist. On that note NCFF Operation Wounded Warrior has other fundraising events coming up at various FDs and towns over the next 2 months. If interested in attending any of these events please check out the website for details. Among the many upcoming projects NCFFOWW is involved with are plans to help with the costs of installing new kitchens and /or purchasing new kitchen appliances for 6 injured troops on Long Island. Also, for those of you who cannot attend an event, should you wish, you can mail a donation to Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warrior at 120 Covert Ave, Stewart Manor, NY 11530.

AMERICAN LEGION To the Editor: I’m living the good life in Florida, but Bayville will always be home. With that said, how will Bayville people explain to our sons and daughters returning from military service for our country, that while they were gone, there is no longer an American Legion Post due to some greedy neighbors. That building has a lot of history and memories you may not know. For one, the returning Bayville veterans built that building, led by Flatty Alfano, if you had a skill you helped. I remembered even on Sundays the boys were there laying bricks. I hope the neighbors who live very large, overlooking L.I. Sound come to their senses and realize how good they have it. With Mayor Siegel and the old Guard gone, things probably will never be the same, and that’s very disappointing indeed. The Leader is available to our subscribers online. For more information email: [email protected] To the Editor: Throughout Long Island many communities are actively working to restore their downtowns. The goal of this revitalization is to improve the livability and quality of life in the community by expanding and attracting employment, shopping and social activities. Revitalization improves the image of the downtown, offers residents a real sense of place, encourages historic preservation and provides more retail options, services and employment opportunities. This in turn will serve to prevent blight and abandonment, increase safety in our community, grow our tax base and help our community become more financially stable. Revitalization is a long-term plan of action that would tap into tourism, refine and expand our cultural base and promote the downtown as a destination location. Glen Cove is fortunate to have an IDA (Industrial Development Agency) and a CDA (Community Development Agency), both of which by definition are charged with the responsibility to foster revitalization in our community. As a former member of the Glen Cove IDA, I had a firsthand look at what its priorities have been: to court the developers of high-density residential projects throughout our city, leaving little effort or “political will” to concentrate on our downtown, thereby ignoring small businesses. This practice has been going on for decades to the detriment of our downtown. The IDA and CDA, if utilized properly, can be valuable tools to both small and big business. Let’s not forget what our downtown once was - a thriving hub that brought people in from surrounding communities to shop and spend time socializing. Affluent communities surround our city. If the downtown were again the vibrant center it once was, it would attract people from those communities; the city could again be the hub of commerce, culture and socialization it once was. Glen Cove has much innovation and intellect to draw upon. If other townships on Long Island can restore their downtown centers, there is no reason we can’t. We deserve no less.

Long Island is a sole-source aquifer region. The residents depend on groundwater for 100% of their drinking water. The deepest and cleanest aquifer lies above bedrock called the Lloyd Aquifer. It has sand deposits dating back to 80-100 million years ago. The middle layer is the Magothy Aquifer, with sand and gravel dating 50-80 million years ago. The Upper Glacial Aquifer was formed 10-15 million years ago and is composed of sand, gravel, rocks and boulders deposited by glaciers in the last ice age. The Upper Glacial Aquifer is the most vunerable to contamination. On the North Shore, a layer of clay known as Raritan Clay lies between the Magothy and Lloyd Aquifers. On the South Shore, a clay bed made up of Gardeners Clay lies below the Upper Glacial Aquifer. The Citizens Campaign for the Environment is bringing to the public the reality of our groundwater pollution. On Long Island, hundreds of contaminants have been detected in areas of the aquifer system including the Magothy Aquifer and have been detected in our drinking water wells. The contaminants include pesticides, household hazardous waste, volatile organic chemicals, petroleum products, and pharmaceutical drugs. Ageing sewage infrastructures and septic and cesspool systems are degrading. Long Island’s, rapid population growth in many areas causes contaminates to enter the groundwater supply. The Nassau Suffolk Water Commissioners Association (NSWCA) member Anker Johansen, noted that as stewards closest to water production, safety, and environmental and conservation issues, the NSWCA endorses the creation of a Long Island Aquifer Commission. We believe it can be especially effective if the committee includes experienced, qualified representation with first- hand knowledge of the drinking water issues that affect nearly three million Long Island residents. The association holds monthly meetings sponsoring experts, on cost efficiencies, rules and regulations, and laws associated with water utilities. Mr. Kelleher, President of Melville-based H@M Architects + Engineers, noted, Long Island needs to take a regional approach to our future, based on scientific fact, not politics. The aquifers are vast, but are threatened in numerous areas, including salt water intrusion, and other vital issues, that must be monitored. He said the value of water must be elevated in the public’s mind. According to the The Citizens Campaign for the Environment, the amount of water in the aquifer system is limited. In addition to providing drinking water, and adequate supply of fresh water from groundwater, it is necessary for maintaining crucial ecosystems such as salt and fresh-water wetlands, creeks, streams, ponds and bay salinity. Overpumping, called groundwater mining, is depleting the aquifers in some areas, causing streams to disappear and salt water contamination of some coastal water supply wells. Cancer producing, and toxic to wildlife, pesticides Imidacloprid, atrazine and metalaxyl are harmful to Long Island drinking water, and should be banned. A zero tolerance policy will ensure the protection of LI’s drinking water. Citizens Campaign announced that a $3 million, 3 year, public education campaign to rally Long Islanders, and pressure politicians to save the threatened water system is focusing on lowering LI’s nitrogen pollution. Residents also can be aware of how they dispose of hazardous products, and use the many greener, safer alternatives now available. Annual Pryibil’s Beach Cleanup Pryibil Beach. This event is one of the world’s largest volunteer data gathering efforts on behalf of the marine environment. Mayor Ralph Suozzi and the Glen Cove Beautification Commission invite volunteers to participate Photo courtesy GlenCoveHeritage.com in the 27th annual International Coastal Beach Cleanup on Saturday, September 21st, at 9 A.M.

Page 6 The Leader September 18, 2013 Waterside Festival The Festival was well attended! • VICTORIA SIEGEL Another very successful Waterside Festival was sponsored by the Bayville Chamber of Commerce, held on the weekend of September 14-15 at Ransom Beach in Bayville. The weather was perfect for shopping, eating, drinking, listening to delicious music, and just plain enjoyment of the day. There were more vendors this year and more variety of offerings. There were vendors for hats, toys, perfume, clothing, scarves, home and garden enhancements, local honey, home baked pies, fresh juices, plaques of every kind, front door decorations, food, clams, leather goods, sun glasses, investment counseling, home improvement products and services, and of course the Bayville Library selling a treasure trove of books. Two items really stood out from the offerings, and they were the hats and the bow and arrows. This was unusual for seldom does one find at least five vendors selling hats of every shape and material in a festival of this size, and they were all doing brisk business. It was not at all strange to see men wearing derbies and looking rather “spiffy,” and women wearing the popular fedora-very charming. The bow and arrow as a toy has not been seen for quite a few years; but they were very prominent at the festival. This might be the result of the popularity of “The Hunger Games,” both books and movies. The Family Bike-A-Thon, sponsored by the Village of Bayville, took place early Sunday morning and added to the success of the festival over all. The Waterside Festival ended Sunday evening at 5 P.M. after announcing the winner of the 50-50, who received $1800 and the winners of the Bayville Library raffles of Kindle, hand crocheted scarf, and $50 Gift Certificate for Over the Bridge Locust Valley’s 39th Annual Oktoberfest In 1972, the Band from Breisach-onRhine marched into Locust Valley’s Plaza after a short parade down Forest Avenue from the American Legion. The band played a short concert for a large crowd. The had come from Germany to play in the Steuben Day parade; band members and their wives were guests of various families in Locust Valley and Bayville. In the summer of 1975, a small group of Locust Valley Rotary Club Bicentennial Committee members, and other local residents, got together to plan the 200th birthday celebration of the U.S.A. in ’76 to raise money for fireworks. The Bavarian Festival turned out to be such a success that it became a yearly event and a Rotary fundraiser and so the Locust Valley Rotary Annual Oktoberfest was born. The Oktoberfest has become a tradition in Locust Valley. The Spitzbaum Band (Oompah), dancers, authentic food, entertainment for adults and children, and prizes are all part of the fun. It has become a fun-filled day for the entire community, as well as a fund raiser. The first Oktoberfest was held at the Locust Valley Shoppe’s Plaza and it continued to be held there for several years. Year by year the event grew, becoming more and more popular. As the attendance grew, Thomas Park was chosen as the site of the Oktoberfest, which centers around the Gazebo. In addition to traditional German food and beer, there will be wine and cheese, fruit platters and salads. Bring a blanket or chair, friends, an appetite and prepare to be entertained by folk dancers in traditional costume, twirling to the music. The Locust Valley Rotary is one of the largest clubs in the Rotary district. The strong ability to raise funds, and having assisted in the Haiti Earthquake, the organization works in conjunction with The Salvation Army, Ronald McDonald House and Toys for Tots. The Rotary supports free clinics for the needy, and volunteers to work in local shelters, and continues an ongoing effort to keep the local church food pantries supplied. The Rotary also volunteers to pick up kids from the airport who have flown here from a third world nation for a much needed heart operation, through the Gift of Life Program. So, join in the great fun of the Oktoberfest on September 28 from 1:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at Thomas Park, Locust Valley. WE WANTContact TO HEAR YOU!!!

The 4th Annual Gold Coast Concours/Bimmerstiock event is presented by Martino Auto Concepts/Mac Auto Couture, to benefit the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.. There were sports cars in a variety of bright colors, even one so elaborately decorated, it looked as though it had been decoupaged! There were Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Corvettes and many others. Nassau County Legislator Delia DiRiggii Whitton, who is a board member of the DRIF, Diabetes Legend of Sleepy Hollow Tour Oyster Bay Historical Society and Koenig Center are having an exciting tour. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow began almost 200 years ago, when Washington Irving wrote about the beautiful valley straddling the shores of the Hudson River, just thirty miles north of New York City. The bus trip will afford the opportunity to view panoramic and scenic vista of the Hudson River, the Palisades, and the Tappan Zee Bridge. The first stop will be Philipsburg Manor, which was a thriving farming, milling, and trading center during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A short distance from Philipsburg Manor is the 1609 Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, as well as the Old Dutch Burying Ground, where Ichabod Crane hid from the Headless Horseman. The next stop will be a guided tour of Union Church, which boasts stained glass windows by both Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall. There will be a break for lunch at Bridge View Tavern, before our tour of Sunnyside, the home of Washington Irving. Transportation: The tour bus leaves at 8:30 A.M. from the CW Post campus of LIU, 720 Northern Boulevard, and returns approximately 5:00 P.M. $95 for OBHS and PLA members, $115 for nonmembers. Transportation, lunch, tours, and light snacks en route are all included. Reservations and info: Alexandra Janvey at 516.299.2892 or email [email protected]. Please respond by September 23. Research Institute Foundation, and the mother of a daughter with diabetes, has raised many thousands for diabetes research over the past four years through her dedication to this event. At the DRIF booth board members and volunteers were selling raffles and handing out information about the organization. At the stage area, Joe Manfredi Station Manager of OWWR radio station at The College of Old Westbury, acted as Master of Ceremonies and introduced several musical performers. The car show is free to the public but raises money through registration fees for the cars, corporate sponsorships and raffles.

"!# " Board of Education members and administrators from the LVCSD with the award. Locust Valley High School has been identified by the NY State Department of Education as one of the best in the State! LVHS has distinguished itself as a NY State Reward School, the highest designation given by the State to any school. To qualify for this honor, Locust Valley High School had to meet the most rigorous criteria, which the State has established to date. In order to earn this honor, a school must: • Meet Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) for all subgroups of students including, English Language Learners and Individual Needs students. • Rank among the top schools in the State based on unweighted scores on the ELA and math State assessments. • Produce above average growth rate for: - All students - Lowest achieving (25% of all students) • Have extremely high graduation rates for: - All students - The most at-risk students When all of these criteria are met, a school will be named a “Reward School” and earn this very impressive honor. “I am extremely proud that the State has recognized Locust Valley High School as a Reward School and as being among the best in the State,” said Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Anna F. Hunderfund. “This is a testament to the hard work of the students, staff and administrators and the support of our Board of Education and community.” Dr. Hunderfund added that based on the rigorous process used to identify our high school as a Reward School, it is clear that despite economic challenges, Locust Valley is finding ways to continue to prepare all students for the academic challenges which they will face. ! $" !#" ! # !""

Two years ago Phyllis Gorham, Executive Director of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce, was able to obtain a piece of a beam from one of the World Trade Center towers . She asked Tony Tripp, who was at the time the Chief of Glen Cove Fire Department, if it could be placed on the property adjacent to the firehouse; then asked Tom Molloy of Glen Head to create a sculpture for the beam; and Maggie and Hugh Tanchuck of North Shore Monuments in Glen Head, to donate a base for the art work. A ceremony was held on Wednesday, September 11, in Pratt Park, next to the firehouse, where the sculpture was unveiled. Phyllis Gorham introduced Tony Tripp, who acted as Master of Ceremonies. As Gen Cove’s Poet Laureate, I read A Tribute to Heroes, which had been originally written in 2002, with an extra verse in tribute to those who helped make the dedication of the memorial possible. Rev Betsy Simpson, of the First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove, gave a Prayer for the Heroes, followed by a moment of silence,then Taps was played by Michael Mienko of the GCVFD. Robert Lynch played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes, and Rev Roger Williams of the First Baptist Church of Glen Cove, closed the solemn ceremony with a prayer. The monument has the following inscription: “Remembering those who lost their lives September 11, 2001, Dedicated to our firefighters who protect us everyday.” /&)/- ,$% ( -.)( ,,$" #)/- $( *,$' &).$)( (. , .#,)/"# ". - .) /.$!/&&2 *&(. *,$0. )-$- 1$.# -* $' ( ., - &)0 &2 . ,, - ( -.)( 1&& !&)1 , - #$#)' 3- $(. ,$), #- ( - (-$.$0 &2 , ') & !), .)23- &$0$(" ," ,))'- #$"# $&$("- ", . !&)1 !), (. ,.$($(" *$)/- !,)(. #&& 1$.# !* !'$&2 ,))' )!!$ .# # - )( !&)), #- .# '-. , -/$. 1$.# , --$(" ,))' .# - .#- ( 1&2 !$($-# - ' (. 1$.# *&2,))' #- -- .)

Glen Cove vocalist, Sabrina Ali, sang the National Anthem, then an opening prayer was given by Rabbi Irwin Huberman of Congregation Tiferith Israel in Glen Cove. Phyllis introduced Mary Stanco, President of the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce, and they both gave a dedication. The Assistant Chief of the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department, Robert Marino, addressed the crowd, followed by a Blessing of First Responders by the Rev. John Burns, of the Community Gospel Church and Chaplain at the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department. Mayor Ralph Suozzi addressed the crowd and spoke of how people in Glen Cove lost four members of our community on 9/11/01, and how the ferry had been used on that day to bring those stranded in Manhattan to Glen Cove.

The tournament ran from 4:15 a.m. to 4 p.m., and was open to anglers of all ages and was limited to the first 350 boats. The tournament, sponsored by the town’s department of parks and Oyster Bay Marine Supply, automatically entered all registrants in a special raffle, with great prizes which included Mercury inflatable boats and Mercury outboards, rods, reels, ice chests, water skis, dinners for two and more. Along with plaques, the winners of first through 10th places, received gift certificates in the following amounts: first place $2,000; second place - $1,000; third place $750; fourth place - $600; fifth and sixth places - $500; seventh and eighth places $400; ninth and 10th places - $300. The winners of 11th and 12th places received a $200 gift certificate and 13th, 14th and 15th place winners, each received a $100 gift certificate. Photos by Patricia Brexel.

The proceeds from the dinner are used to support Adopt-A-Battalion’s mission of sending care packages to United States troops serving in Afghanistan, as well as patients in the Northport Veterans Administration Hospital. The funds will also be used to support new initiatives that Adopt-A-Battalion will be launching next year to support those who have returned home after serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. Patricia (3rd from right) and Jack Parker (2nd from right) founded Adopt-A-Battalion after receiving a letter from their son, Tim, a Major in the United States Marines, who was serving in Iraq. In the letter, he wrote about how troops serving in Iraq were not receiving cards or letters from home and, while serving in the desert, could not get to a store to purchase basic supplies, such as personal hygiene products, which citizens in the United States take for granted. Since that time, Adopt-A-Battalion has been sending troops care packages with items such as toothpaste, granola bars, coffee singles, and cards and letters of support. Also pictured (center) is AdoptA-Battalion Vice-President Richard Page 12 The Leader September 18, 2013 Locust Valley Falcons Take Second Place in Mineola Cup The Locust Valley High School Boy's Varsity Soccer team earned 2nd Place in the Mineola Mustang Cup pre-season tournament. The team advanced to the Cup Final after a penalty kick shootout victory against host Mineola in the semifinal. Goalie Billy Mullen made 3 saves on 4 kicks to secure the victory as David Villalobos, Constantine Linardos, and Jose Rivas each scored in the 3 - 1 shootout win. The team lost in the final to Lynbrook and took home the runner's up trophy. The Falcons had 4 team members recognized as All-Tournament players; Billy Mullen, David Villalobos, Alexander Van Patten, and Carlos Hernandez. Also playing in the tournament was Oyster Bay High School, and Lynbrook High School. The LVHS Falcons are all smiles with their 2nd place trophy. 2013 Mustang Cup All-Tournament Players More from the “Battle by the Bay” Charity Fire Drill Seastreak Charters Corporate Excursions from Glen Cove In the last issue of The Leader (9/11/13), Victoria Siegel reported on the Bayville Fire Department No. 1 charity drill “Battle by the Bay” at Centre Island Beach.

As the Seastreak left, it was quiet which is important for the surrounding area restaurants and other boaters. “Introducing Seastreak’s chartered services to the City of Glen Cove is another way that we are inviting residents and the surrounding communities back to the waterfront to enjoy all that it has to offer. Our team, the city and the city’s partners at the county, state and federal level are proud to restore access to this rare stretch of coastline,” said Scott Rechler, chairman and CEO of RXR Realty, the developer of the 52-acre Garvies Point site. “We are delighted to be here,” said Seastreak President James Barker. “We welcome the opportunity to show the community that our season is still under way through the fall, and to show off one of our The sleek Seastreak. Photo by Victoria Crosby beautiful vessels. Our connection with RXR as well as the City of Glen Cove is very meaningful to Seastreak, and we take pride in the world-class service we provide.” Seastreak vessels are available for private charter for corporate meetings, holiday parties, fundraising events and other special occasions. Options include traveling through Lower Manhattan Harbor to such sites as the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island, the South Street Seaport, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, as well as Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos, Nantucket Island, Block Island, Atlantic City, and either of New York ‘s baseball stadiums.

September 18, 2013 The Leader Page 13 Celebrating the Sassanese of Glen Cove A day has been declared in honor of “Sister Cities” and emigrants in Glen Cove. A flag of the Comune of Sassano will fly each year on, August 17th, the Annual Emigrants’ Day. Mayor Ralph Suozzi was joined by members of the Club of Sassanese of America, to celebrate the people of Sassano who have made Glen Cove their home. The Sassanese have kept traditions of their native town with a commemoration of the celebration of St. John the Baptist and St. Rocco, the most important religious holidays of Sassano. Sassano is 80 miles SE of Naples. Historians and archaeologists swarm the site of Magna Grecia and ancient Lucania. The origins of Sassano are traced to 1000 and 1400 A.D. The many churches, art treasures, and fountains are Medieval. There is evi- dence of Byzantine Greek monastic presence, as there was a sacred building used by Byzantine monks, in the 13th century, dedicated to St Zacharias. The Valley of Orchids is in Sassano. There is an astonishing array of 184 species of the Orchid family. The display covers an area of about 18 square miles, and bloom from April to June. The Valley of Orchids is a great source of pride for the community, and, in May, the traditional Festival of the Orchids is held. It is very convenient and easy to get to Sassano. The population is about 5000. In recognition of the special bond between Glen Cove and Sassano, the City of Glen Cove passed a resolution on July 24, 2012, at a City Council Meeting, declaring an Annual Emigrant’s Day. Sassano, Italy, Glen Cove’s ‘Sister City’ Photo courtesy Mimmo Benivento OBEN Schools Welcome New Faculty and Staff It is always with great excitement and anticipation that the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District welcomes and embraces new members to the staff. Each new person offers new visions and enthusiasm on becoming a part of the proud tradition of educational excellence that has become the standard in Oyster Bay. The Math Department at OBHS welcomes Ms. Lauren DeClemente. Ms. DeClemente studied at Hofstra University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Mathematics Education. She continued her education at Molloy College, where she received a Master of Science degree in Adolescence Education – Mathematics 7-12. Ms. DeClemente comes to Oyster Bay from Baldwin Senior High School, where she taught for five years. She began her teaching career at Hicksville High School. The Fine and Performing Arts Department had the difficult task of replacing two extraordinary teaching “legends” of the OBEN community. Mr. Robert Stern’s position was filled by Ms. Meagan Finnerty, who will be teaching music to the students at the Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School. Ms. Finnerty holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, with a minor in Special Education from Penn State University. She is currently attending Hunter College for a Master’s in Piano Performance. Ms. Finnerty has worked in the Massapequa School District, Miller Place School District, Port Jefferson School District and Sachem School District. She is originally from Medford, New York and is currently residing in Holbrook. Mr. Stephen Walker retired in June, leaving a huge void to be filled in the OBHS music program. Mr. Michael Giannetta has been invited to Oyster Bay High School to teach 7 and 8 Grade Band. Mr. Giannetta did his undergraduate study at the prestigious Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. He holds Master’s degrees in Trumpet Performance from SUNY Stony Brook, and Conducting from Southern Oregon University’s American Band College. Previously, Mr. Giannetta has taught Elementary Band for the Commack Public Schools, and District-Wide Band for both the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools, and the East Northport School District. He is originally from Malverne, where he attended Valley Stream North High School. Mr. Giannetta currently lives in Mineola. Sometimes finding a new teacher is easy when they are already working in the District. For the past three years, Ms. Colleen Kelly was working at Vernon as a teaching assistant. This year, she returns to Vernon to teach a self-contained classroom for Grades 3 and 5. Ms. Kelly attended Mount Saint Mary College and earned certification in Childhood Education 1-6, for children with disabilities. She is currently attending C.W. Post for her Master’s Degree in Special Education, with a concentration in Autism. Ms. Kelly is originally from East Rockaway and is still living there. The Science Department for the District has a new face in the front office. Ms. Janna Ostroff was hired last spring, and worked closely with Dr. Root for a smooth transition. Although her office is in the high school, Ms. Ostroff will be working throughout the district in her position as K-12 Director of Science and Technology for Instruction. Ms. Ostroff earned the degree of Bachelor of Arts in both Chemistry and Education from Colgate University. She also holds a Master of Science in Geochemistry, from the University of Oxford, and a Master of Science in Comparative and International Education from the University of Oxford. Additionally, she attended Hunter College in the Educational Administration and Supervision Program. Another long-time teacher, Ms. Rosemary Crawford, retired last June and left the English Department with the difficult task of finding a replacement. Ms. Nicole Schwartz was enthusiastically chosen to fit the bill. She will be teaching 7th grade Literacy Connections; 11th grade AIS; 10th grade Honors; and 10th grade Regents classes. Ms. Schwartz attended SUNY Geneseo, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Secondary Education. She then went on to SUNY Stony Brook, where she received a Master’s Degree in Liberal Studies. Parents have been expressing their concerns at Board of Education meetings about the need for more help to handle the heavy work load in the high school Counseling Center. The District has responded by bringing Ms. Debra Strell on board, to serve as the Supervisor of Counseling Services. Ms. Strell attended Hunter College where she earned a Bachelor of the Arts degree. She then went on to Fordham University, where she achieved a Master’s in Business Administration. She also holds a Master’s in School Counseling from Long Island University at the CW Post campus and, a Certificate in Educational Administration from Queens College. Before coming to Oyster Bay, Ms. Strell worked for the West Hempstead School District as the Director of Guidance, and before that, as a Guidance Counselor at Lindenhurst High School.

By LC Colgate Fall is in the air and the Club has reopened its doors to welcome in the new school year. We are excited to be back in full swing with a Club full of kids again. On opening day, we had almost 175 children in attendance with more than 75% of those members taking advantage of our homework help program that day. While we offer a safe place for kids to go after school, we strive to be more than just a babysitter. Our programs and activities are designed to help our members learn, grow and develop good life-long habits that help build confidence and increase self-esteem. As part of this goal, we provide homework assistance programs and tutoring to encourage members to complete their assignments and to prepare for class in a positive and productive atmosphere. Homework help is a highly effective program based on the premise that kids need to view homework as an opportunity to study independently and to finish projects on time, giving them a sense of accomplishment and achievement. Also, as an added incentive, our members participate in “Power Hour,” an interactive afterschool homework program with proven results. Kids who are involved in “Power Hour” receive recognition and earn “power points” which can be redeemed for prizes. Homework help is available on a daily basis for our younger kids in the Cahill Learning Center and for tweens and teens in the Florence Auerbach Teen Center. Stephanie Urio, Director of Program Outcomes, runs homework help and “Power Hour” for all our kids. Staff and volunteers lend a hand by tutoring Club members and stimulating their interest in learning in a fun after-school setting. If you would like to help us empower some of our kids by becoming a homework help volunteer, please call the Club at 676-1460 ext. 16. # #- , +*,. .#. - .# #/() +*+/'.$*) " - (*, ) (*, ( $.$*)- , +, -,$ ) (*, +*$-*)$)"- */, $) */, + .- ) !.

State residents would have an opportunity to vote on the initiative in the general election in November 2014. The Alzheimer’s Research Bond Act of 2014 would fund scientific research of Alzheimer’s disease, including tracking its causes, treatment and clinical trials of medication. By issuing taxpayers approved bonds for Alzheimer’s research, the state of New York can leverage new revenues, to provide research grants and other financing to collaborations of New York institutions while also Obituaries creating jobs and leading the effort to find a cure. Assembly Lavine unveiled his proposal to seek $1 billion in funding for Alzheimer’s at a press conference in June with Congressman Steve Israel at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Congressman Israel said, “With the cost of Alzheimer’s to our country expected to skyrocket, researching the disease is not just a matter of compassion for a cure, it is a public policy imperative. I look forward to Assemblyman Lavine’s legislations’ passage and signature into law.” It is estimated that 300,000 plus New York State residents have Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other related diseases.
