Schein could still face legal action, said officials from the Nassau County Department of Health, even though the sewage pipe has been sealed with concrete. The sewage discharge went into the wetlands next to Crescent Beach in Glen Cove. Schein has been fined $15,000 by DEC, and has not modified, revoked, or withdrawn the fine. Health department officials have said the pipe was a public health hazard and that Schein knew about the problem since at least, 2011. Engineers hired by the City of Glen Cove found the pipe leaking last month. Crescent Beach has been closed to the public since 2009, because of contamination. Any waste water from a residential cesspool, being discharged into a wetland, would be a threat to the receiving water body and a public health hazard. Schein denies any fecal matter came from the pipe from his mansion. Officials from the Health Department tested the water from the pipe and it had fecal coliform and enterococci, indicative of sewage. Schein said he swims at the beach, and is denying any culpability that his property is the source of contamination of the wetlands. Schein said he took care of the problem as soon as he knew it was leaking, which was last month. Sea Cliff FD Fundrasier Assemblyman Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove), left, joined Mayor Ralph Souzzi, Sea Cliff Fire Department Chief Daniel Whittemore, Michael Hallquest, Congressman Steve Israel, and Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton at a fundraiser for the National Brain Tumor Society. Hallquest, who became a volunteer firefighter with the Sea Cliff Department in 2001 and joined the New York City Fire Department in 2005, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2010. Since his diagnosis he has become a top fundraiser for the organization. Doctors Discuss the Downsizing of Glen Cove Hospital On August 8th, at 8:30 P.M., doctors had a closed-door meeting at the Glen Cove Mansion to discuss the impact on the community of the planned closing of inpatient service at North Shore University LIJ Hospital at Glen Cove. 100 doctors attended the meeting. Mayor Suozzi was present, and has started a petition, that has, to date, garnered about 2500 signatures. There is an outcry in the community, and is spreading to other towns. At the Oyster Bay Town Hall meeting last Tuesday, president of the Concerned Citizens of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Community, Inc., Carol Meschkow, said the proposed changes are something we all need to be concerned about. She pointed out that residents in Glen Head, Locust Valley, and elsewhere, would have to drive to Plainview or Syosset, and even Manhasset, when Glen Cove would have been their first stop. Plainview and Syosset Hospitals would be impacted negatively. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto said he is reaching out to Mayor Suozzi to see what can be done to help the situation. Doctors present at the Mansion meeting voiced opinions, that from a business point of view, perhaps the downsizing is understandable, but from a community point of view, it will be devastating. Suozzi said at the meeting that the downsizing will hurt Glen Cove economically if employees, patients and doctors go elsewhere and stop patronizing businesses in Glen Cove. He said taking a great facility that has been here for 87 years and turning it into a Mash unit; Glen Cove needs an inpatient hospital, not a pass through to another facility. The mayor said the news about NS-LIJ plans came as a jolt. North Shore-LIJ officials said the decision to eliminate inpatient beds stems from declining volume. The hospital is certified for 265 beds, but the average daily number is closer to 150. About 700 doctors are credentialed at the hospital, and about 90% are voluntary, meaning they have privileges at the hospital but do not work for the NS-LIJ health system, and that the other 10% are employed by NS-LIJ. NS-LIJ officials said they would find jobs for the 1200 employees working at the hospital. Some will stay in the emergency department and the family practice center. Other programs will be moved along, with the staff, to other facilities. Orthopedic surgery rehabilitation, brain injury rehabilitation and psychiatry are being moved. Ambulatory surgery, outpatient cancer treatment center and medical offices will stay at the Glen Cove Hospital. Michael Dowling, North ShoreLIJ’s chief executive, has agreed to meet with Mayor Suozzi and Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) in a few of weeks. Glen Cove Holocaust Center Receives Skolnick Family Funding On Monday, August 5, The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC), located at the Welwyn Preserve on Crescent Beach Road in Glen Cove, announced that it received a $100,000 contribution for a new state-of-the-art classroom. With building already underway, the classroom will be housed in the Claire Friedlander Education Institute. The new classroom, with a seating capacity of up to 25 students, will offer state-of-the-art audio-visual aids and cutting edge technical equipment that augment the educational experience of HMTC visitors. Using the new classroom, HMTC staff will offer specialized Holocaust video-conferencing programs and provide a wide variety of workshops for students, educators, employers and law enforcement personnel. “I can think of no greater investment we can make in our collective future than education," said Skolnick Family Charitable Trust Trustee Barry Skolnick. "As a global society, we will only be able to realize our potential by continually learning about the lessons of the Holocaust and how each of us can make a positive impact on others and help to build more inclusive communities. HMTC has a tremendous amount of (L to R: Howard S. Maier, HMTC Chairman Emeritus; Barry Skolnick, Skolnick Family Charitable Trust Trustee; David S. Rosen, HMTC Vice Chairman; Steven Markowitz, HMTC Chairman; Peter J. Klein, HMTC Board Director; Jennifer Carpenter Low, HMTC Director of Development) knowledge to share in that endeavor." “The new classroom in the Claire Friedlander Education Institute is crucial for HMTC to reach additional educators, students and other community members in our continued work to teach universal lessons that combat prejudice, bigotry and intolerance,” said HMTC Chairman Steven Markowitz. “We are grateful to the Skolnick Family Charitable Trust for their generous support of the Institute, which we hope and expect will be extremely valuable to our region.” The Claire Friedlander Education Institute is scheduled for completion in January 2014. The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County is the pre-eminent Holocaust resource on Long Island with a contemporary museum and is one of the largest and most comprehensive education program providers in the region. Since 2007, nearly 210,000 students, educators, employers and law enforcement personnel have participated in the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center’s education programs. With the Louis Posner Memorial Library, the Center offers over 7,000 volumes of Holocaust, genocide, multicultural, anti-bias and anti-bullying material for youth and adults, from Kindergarten through post-graduate researchers. It is the largest such collection on Long Island. Additional information is available online at: www.holocaustnassau.org Founders Allen and Connie Skolnick established the Skolnick Family Charitable Trust. Formerly known as the CAMBR Charitable Foundation, there are three principal areas of interest. The first is education, from the broadest prospective including all age groups and all areas of study. Second, medical research, which includes, but is not limited to, complementary medicine therapies; and, third, scientific research, with a particular emphasis on nanotechnology, stem cell research, alternative energies and related fields. The Trust continues to support a combination of Jewish-sponsored institutions and activities, as well as various secular and non-denominational programs. August 14, 2013 The Leader Page 3 TOB Referendum Vote on Mall In mid July, the State Supreme Court in Mineola ruled that there were enough signatures on a petition brought forth by the Taubman Company, a mega-mall developer, to have a referendum on the sale of a 54 acre brownfield site in Syosset, now owned by the Town of Oyster Bay and occupied by the town’s Department of Public Works (DPW). Taubman’s representatives, a group called Long Island Jobs Now, insist that the town’s sale of the DPW site is a back room deal to Simon Properties, Inc., a competitor of Taubman. On August 20th, there will be a public referendum vote on whether the Town of Oyster Bay’s sale of the site to the Simon Property Group is approved. The nearly twenty-year battle is over a mall proposal by Taubman Company to build a regional mega mall, on the former Cerro Wire site, which Taubman acquired in 1994, and the adjacent Oyster Bay Townowned land used for its Department of Public Works complex. If Taubman were able to purchase the town’s acreage, it would mostly be used to build a parking lot for its proposed mall. Taubman and Simon were both in negotiation with the Town for nine months for the DPW property. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto said Taubman’s offers contained “subject to” clauses, which presupposed, that, the necessary permits to build the mall would be granted. Venditto said, that would not hap- pen, since the people of the Town of Oyster Bay do not want a regional mall in their town. Eventually, Venditto and town officials accepted $32.5 million for its DPW property from Simon. The property had been assessed for $25 million. State law allows townships to make decisions in the best interest of the town and its citizens, and it was decided the Simon offer was the best for the Town and would keep taxes low and offset town debt (see related article on page 2). In a lawsuit brought against the Town by Taubman, a Suffolk County judge ruled against Taubman, stating that the Town acted “legally, appropriately and reasonably in the sale to Simon.” Notwithstanding this decision, Taubman launched an intensive campaign against Town officials alleging “backroom” deals and other illegal conduct. Simon Properties doesn’t want to build a mall. The land is a former Superfund site, classified as a brownfield. Only a small portion can be developed for housing or similar uses in the immediate future. Other alternative development ideas are being studied for the best use of the land. Supervisor Venditto stated, “If there is one message above all, it is to make sure our residents come forward to vote “Yes” not only to stop Taubman from building a regional shopping mall in our town, but to send a message to Taubman that this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated in the Town of Oyster Bay.. Rally for GC Hospital • LORIANN CODY On Monday afternoon, August 12, more than 200 community members, doctors, local business owners, and politicians, joined together in a rally to show support for keeping overnight patients stays at Glen Cove Hospital. North Shore LIJ has plans to repurpose Glen Cove Hospital as an ambulatory care facility in 2014. Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi led the rally, calling on North Shore LIJ Health Systems (NSLIJ) management to postpone the repurposing of the hospital so that the entire medical community can evaluate the needs of the 75,000 locals who live on the north shore and need access to the outstanding medical care provided by Glen Cove Hospital. Mayor Suozzi stressed that he would be speaking with local politicians, the Governor, Dr. Nirav R. Shah, the Commissioner of the NY State Department of Health, and management of NSLIJ in the upcoming weeks. Dr. Andrea Kaplan, head of Family Practice, reiterated how wonderful the hospital is and called for the community to get involved, by contacting their local political representatives or writing the governor or Dr. Shah directly. Representatives from both the Glen Cove and Sea Cliff fire departments were on hand to show support for the hospital as well as special guests Mildred and Frank Feinberg, who have donated millions to Glen Cove Hospital over the past few years, and whose Ralph Suozzi with the Feinbergs names grace the front of the building. Frank Feinberg is a WWII vet who stressed the hospital should be synonymous with honesty, integrity, communication and respect. Those interested in saving the hospital can sign the online petition at www.glencove-li.us. Mayor Suozzi has collected thousands of signatures to date and hopes to garner 10,000 or more names. Photos by Sally Bandow Clam Warfare The incident happened off Glen Cove in Hempstead Harbor. John Mirabito, 59, of Shirley, was charged with 2 counts of menacing and will be arraigned on Tuesday in First District Court, Hempstead. Mirabito was operating his 21-foot Steiger boat when it collided with the victim’s 21-foot boat. The collision damaged the victim’s boat, and an argument ensued. Both men were clamming at the time. Mirabito went into his cabin and returned with a rifle pointed at the victim and another male passenger. The victim gunned his engines and drove away. Nassau County’s Marine 20 called for backup from the U.S. Coast Guard. Initially the Coast Guard declined, but eventually a vessel was dispatched to the scene. Bay Constables from both Oyster Bay and North Hempstead responded. North Hempstead constables are allowed to carry sidearms, but are insufficient against a shooter with a rifle. Oyster Bay constables are not allowed firearms. Surrounded by authorities, Mirabito was taken into custody without further incident. The rifle was recovered in the cabin. There has been a debate for over 2 decades in Oyster Bay over how Bay Constables can respond to emergencies without firearms, and make arrests. Clammers stake out their turf through leases on Long Island’s fertile shell fish beds. The clammer’s turf is marked by floats, and clammers are willing to defend their spot. Over the years there have been arguments and even brawls between rival clammers in the Long Island waters. Community spirit. The crowd in front of the hospital Sea Cliff and Glen Cove Fire Departments showed their support. Alternate Development Ideas The Cerro Wire Coalition was formed to fight against the proposal by the Taubman Company to build a mega-mall on the former Cerro Wire property on Robbins Lane, in Syosset. The organization currently includes 26 civic, business, educational and community group representing more than 40,000 Town of Oyster Bay homeowners, and 6,000 small business owners, countywide, that are vigorously opposed to this mega-mall. The Cerro Wire Coalition wants a YES vote on August 20th. The coalition is advancing the cause to promote Smart-Growth/Mixed Use Options for the former Cerro Wire site on Robbins Lane in Syosset. Some ideas for the land include: • Next generation/Senior housing • High-tech incubator • Medical/health care facility • Research/Bio-tech/Science/Engineering • Professional offices • Small business based retail • Boutique Hotel • Educational Institution Glen Cove Man Arrested Police responded to a 911 call regarding a man assaulting another person with a knife on Craft Avenue in Glen Cove. Once officers arrived, they located the 17 year old female victim , and arrested her 19 year old ex-boyfriend. It was discovered that the man unlawfully entered the residence by climbing through an unlocked window. Once inside, the man allegedly surprised his ex-girlfriend, and proceeded to assault her inside the home. The defendant, allegedly, also threatened the victim with a large kitchen knife, a broken plate, and threatened to choke her with a phone charging cable. The defendant was charged with Burglary 1st degree, Assault 3rd degree, three counts of menacing 2nd degree, and three counts of possession of a weapon 4th degree. The victim was treated for a swollen bruised left eye, facial bruises, and a lacerated lip. The defendant was arraigned on August 9th at First District Court in Hempstead, and was held on $25,000 cash bail. Page 4 The Leader August 14, 2013 EDITORIAL COLD WAR MENTALITY Last week President Barack Obama appeared on Jay Leno’s “Tonight” show and expressed his opinion as to the present state of Russian-U.S. relations since the granting of asylum to former National Security Agency employee and defector Edward Snowden. Snowden is wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice, charging him with espionage for disclosing secret U.S. telephone and surveillance information to the international press. The Justice Department has sought his return and requested his extradition from Russia, where he was holed up for the past month. Instead of acceding to the U.S. request for extradition, the Russian government, under President Vladimir Putin, issued a one-year visa to Snowden in a direct rebuff to Obama, who was infuriated by his action. As a result of Putin’s action, Obama cancelled a one to one meeting with Putin, scheduled for September 4th in Moscow. Obama cited the cooperation between Russia and the United States in Afghanistan, and the Boston Marathon bombings this year, but stated, “But there have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and Cold War mentality.” This present state of affairs, giving rise to what Obama has described as “some pretty blunt exchanges and animated exchanges” is in contrast to the spirit of cooperation Obama expressed to then - Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, in South Korea in 2012, “Remember, tell Vladimir after my election I have more flexability.” This message of cooperation only reaffirmed to this former KGB officer that, “flexibility“ meant that conciliation and compromise by the United States was in the offing. Negotiations between a hardliner, such as Putin, and Obama, a former college lecturer, leaves little doubt as to who will prevail in any sensitive foreign relations issue and negotiation between Russia and the United States. The sad fact is that President Obama brought few skills to the White House. In the area of foreign relations, professional career diplomats will keep our ship of state afloat, and, on course, if our captain will stop sending counterproductive messages to our adversaries on the world stage.

INFORMING THE PEOPLE To the Editor, At the July 23 city council meeting, I was happy to see that good sense prevailed and negotiations to sell off Pascucci Park were tabled after a motion to do so was made by Councilman Tony Gallo and seconded by Councilman Reggie Spinello. I am also grateful that councilmen and current candidates Spinello and Gallo sent the word out to inform the community that this transaction was taking place. If the community had not been made aware of these secret negotiations to sell off our public land, there would not have been the huge outcry that I witnessed at the city council meeting. The Mayor would have pushed his agenda through at the meeting and all of the Democrats on the council would have voted in favor of selling off our land. Kudos to Reggie Spinello and Tony Gallo for their concern for the community and for taking the necessary steps to inform the public of the proposed action. Linda Darby LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY To the Editor, For more than 17 years, the Cerro Wire Coalition has successfully fought against the Taubman Company's proposed mega‐mall on the former Cerro Wire property on Robbins Lane in Syosset, directly opposite Lifetime Fitness and adjacent to the railroad crossing. You may have heard that the Town of Oyster Bay recently agreed to sell surplus land adjacent to the Cerro Wire site and with frontage on the LIE service road to a responsible development group with stellar reputations and strong ties to Long Island. This sale will add $32.5 million to the town’s tax base, protect open space and preserve our quality of life. Taubman's latest strategy is to try to stop this sale from going forward. Taubman thinks that if it can somehow block the sale it can then acquire the Town land for itself, expand its property and build an even larger mall. We MUST not allow this to happen! Based on Taubman's past behavior, we know it will do anything to build its mall, regardless of the damage that will cause to our community. And we are seeing that again now. In their effort to stop the Town land sale, the Taubman forces ran a petition drive which has forced a public referendum vote on this land sale. Taubman's paid signature collectors distorted the facts and told outright lies to convince residents to sign their petition. Now WE need to take action to preserve the quality of life we all hold so dear. If we vote "YES" to the town's land sale, Taubman will not be able to acquire the land for itself and we can finally put an end to the mall. We need Town of Oyster Bay's registered voters to go to the polls to Vote "YES" to Stop the Mall. The referendum vote has been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 20. Please visit our website at nomallhere.com or Facebook at No Mall Here, where the date and polling places will be posted as soon as they are finalized. In the meantime, if you wish to volunteer a few hours of your time to help with our efforts, please email me at [email protected]. For almost 20 years, we've been trying to stop the mall. The vote to approve the land sale could finally make that happen. Please spread the word ‐‐ Vote "YES" to Stop the Mall. so proud that he and Peter Crisp persuaded Manhasset Hospital to be the first hospital in the area to be part of North Shore LIJ Health System. It is heartbreaking to think of all the fine improvements made over the years could be no more; The Wunch Rehabilitative Services could be reduced. In 2007, the community raised money with Picnic Pops for a new Critical Care Unit, to be closed. This year a just-completed Head Injury Unit, which has been full since opening,is to be moved to Syosset (What a waste). I guess the big hospital has forgotten the enormously generous gifts of love to our local hospital by Missy and Peter Crisp and Mildred and Fran Feinberg. Most important of all, is to keep patient beds in our hospital! Without beds, we will certainly lose our great doctors. We need a leaner more efficient hospital but a REAL Hospital. This move by NSLIJ will take the wheels out from under the whole community and the economy of the City of Glen Cove. Please write to stop the decertify inpatient beds.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto said the unique event will allow fan to go inside the game and experience football from a different perspective. “Coaches of the LIU Post Pioneers have agreed to wear a microphone during the practice, giving attendees the feeling of being inside the huddle,” said Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto. “Attendees will discover some of the complex strategy and nuances that go into an NCAA football program.” Admission will be free for Town residents, but all attendees are encouraged to bring a can of food, which will be donated to Island Harvest to benefit the fight against hunger. The event will be preceded by a youth clinic, featuring players and coaches from LIU Post, as well as a player BBQ, which is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. “The Town of Oyster Bay is pleased to support the sport of football, which is interwoven in the fabric of the Long Island community,” said Supervisor Venditto. “It’s an honor to have an outstanding college team, like LIU Post, practicing on one of our fields. I believe it speaks volumes about our outstanding facilities, here in the Town, which are considered to be among the finest in the Nation.” Supervisor Venditto said the Family Football Night will provide a memorable night for fans of the sport and provide a rare opportunity to learn the sideline plays from coaches. “The collegiate players serve as role models for the Town’s young players, who can, one day, aspire to further their own education, through athletics,” Supervisor Venditto said “Best of all, this event celebrates the game of football and advances a worthwhile charitable endeavor at the same time.” New Principal at Landing School Danielson Framework The Glen Cove Board for teacher evaluation of Education has and observations, and appointed Dimitri conducting training Kryoneris as principal of workshops to instill pride Landing Elementary and confidence in the School.

Watson, during his collaboration on the Human Genome Project. This summer she is teaching the Future Scientist Program at Portledge School in Locust Valley. It is a top tier laboratory course that conducts experiments in each of the scientific disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, earth and space and engineering. It doesn’t sound much like summer camp, but that’s the point. Melissa Worth, Director of Portledge Summer Adventures, says that the response to this course has been overwhelming. “This program bridges the gap between fun science for kids and the advanced science courses many older students pursue as juniors and seniors in high school. There is a big demand for summer programs with more in-depth learning targeted at this tween age group, who have graduated out of our other programs.” That’s good news, considering that The US Department of Labor claims that of the 20 fastest growing occupations projected to 2014, 15 of them require significant mathematics or science preparation. “If our programs are a fun introduction to science, students may be more likely to explore those courses in school,” says Worth. That may be what Portledge is counting on. The school has plans to expand the science curriculum electives in the coming year to include the same type of experiential learning that engages students during the summer. Until then, Summer Adventures pro- Students take part in Portledge Summer Adventures STEM program. vides plenty of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) offerings for students in the 11-15 year- old age group: Junior Engineering, Physics Lab or Build Your Own Computer are intensive versions of the ever-popular Summer Adventures science favorites like Space and Rocketry, Science and Cooking, Go Wild and CSI and Spies.

Their mission is to heighten public awareness, understanding and appreciation of the railroad’s role in our heritage and to increase public understanding of rail technology and its impact on Long Island life. The museum will collect, preserve and interpret the railroad heritage of Long Island. The Oyster Bay Station, built in 1889, and on the National Registry of Historic Places, will be preserved and restored to its 1902 appearance, and will house the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum. The very site that President Theodore Roosevelt used, to commute from his home, Sagamore Hill, will now host families, school children and tourists. A restored station/museum/visitor center will serve as a major attraction and catalyst for economic growth, while providing a long needed connection to the waterfront by a new entrance to Theodore Roosevelt Park via a revitalized railroad station plaza. OBRM has completed a structural analysis of the station and is in the midst of a campaign to complete its restoration. The Museum lobbied for, and with the support of other community organizations, obtained an agreement from the NYS Department of Transportation to relocate the entrance to Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park, to the railroad plaza at the northern terminus of Audrey Avenue, adjacent to the Station. We opened the Station this year as part of the museum experience, and over 2000 children, adults, and seniors visited the Museum last year. 2013 marked the completion of the restoration of the 1903 vintage turntable that was used to turn steam, and later diesel locomotives, upon their arrival in Oyster Bay for their trip back west. It, too, was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places. In 2007, The Nassau County Bond Act awarded a $524,000 grant to the Museum for Locomotive #35, built in 1928 by the Pennsylvania RR’s Juniata Shops, for its restoration. There will be an outdoor exhibit area featuring this locomotive and other historic examples of railroad rolling stock. The Museum will incorporate a “Visitor Center” that will showcase and provide information regarding the many Oyster Bay attractions, merchants, restaurants and civic groups. A “Tourist Trolley” will originate at the new Museum Plaza and transport visitors to the hamlet’s many attractions. Currently, the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum is housed in the Preview Center, located at 102 Audrey Avenue. The OBRM Education Committee has established working relationships with the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central The cover and a sample page from the Oyster Bay Railroad Museum’s Educator’s Guide. School District, Nassau County Museum of Art, Cradle of Aviation Museum and Raynham Hall Museum, who have joined in a shared mission of serving students, teachers and the communities of Long Island. The Museum Education program will offer hands-on enrichment experiences for grades 3-12, including special needs students, through our anticipated guided field trips. These hour and a half evidential reasoning and tactile interactive, focused discovery lessons, will include an orientation experience at the station, beginning with a motivational video and a discovery search of the stations exhibits and displays guided by our support materials, all of which will be dependent upon a fully functional station. The ability to implement the education program does depend on additional financial support, and the progress of the station restoration. The Oyster Bay Railroad Museum will provide an experience that will be both educational and enjoyable for the entire family! Through interactive displays and hands-on learning experiences, visitors will be able to know what it was like to work, ride and be part of the Long Island Rail Road’s history.

Throughout the month of June, the Club participated in activities dedicated to educating youth, parents, staff and the local community about Internet and media safety. This very special month was kickstarted with an Internet Safety Poster Contest, and prizes were awarded to the winners. Then, each week, topics focused on Cyberbullying, Social Networking, Online Privacy and appropriate games to play online. The Kindergarten thru third grade members navigated through Router’s Birthday Surprise each week, while the older members in grades fourth thru eighth, watched informative videos and discussed the topics for each week. The Club would like to thank Sprint for their partnership and support for this extremely important program.

G Y DAM ROHMAN The biplane’s engine coughed, sputtered, and finally began to run smoothly. The aviator at the plane’s controls adjusted his flying cap and goggles. He wiggled his toes and noted that his low-cut shoes were, in fact, untied. Just in case, he pondered, if his plans did not work as hoped. Comfortable with his flying costume, confident in his machine, and with a positive weather report received from Roslyn, Harmon raised one of his leather glove-covered hands and gave a thumbs up to his bevy of mechanics and the throng of spectators along the field. Returning his hands to the controls, he began to ease the fragile biplane forward. The biplane’s engine roared as he increased the speed for take-off. Clifford Harmon pulled back on the stick and felt the aircraft lift into the early-dusk sky of August 20, 1910. Harmon was a gentleman aviator who had been enamored with flight from the moment he first ascended aboard a balloon. After mastering balloons, he decided to take his passion for air travel to the next height. With financial security provided by wise and successful real-estate projects, Harmon purchased his first biplane from Henri Farman for $10,000.00. Harmon first began tinkering with the biplane in early May 1910, and he quickly began to gain expertise. By May 15th he was gaining confidence in his ability to handle the fragile craft, and within six days, after nearly continuous practice and flying, he, as an amateur, was awarded the first pilot’s license from the Aero Club of America. A month later, on June 28th, he remained airborne for a total of sixty-five minutes – setting a record for sustained flight in America. Though laurels continued to be bestowed upon him, Harmon had his sights set on an aerial achievement that remained on the horizon. The crowd that had gathered at the Mineola airfield on the afternoon of August 20th had long heard of Harmon’s plans to cross the Long Island Sound. The first aviator to successfully navigate, in a “continuous aeroplane flight across Long Island Sound from any point within one mile of the Nassau County Court House at Mineola…to any point north of Long Island Sound and east of Mamaroneck River,” would be awarded a trophy. Harmon and several other intrepid aeronauts had attempted the feat, and to try to win the Country Life in America trophy offered by Doubleday, but all had failed miserably, with a host of wrecked planes and bruised egos. Less than twenty-four hours before Harmon took off on August 20th, he had watched Columbia University student Philip Wilcox, alight in his aircraft on his intended attempt to cross the body of water. Wilcox’s plans did not bode well and quickly ended when Wilcox’s plane plunged toward the Hempstead Plains. Harmon and others raced to his aid to find Wilcox wiggling free from the twisted frame. Amazingly, Harmon aboard his aircraft readying for take-off. Wilcox was not hurt but his damaged aircraft would require extensive repairs. The Long Island Sound crossing by aircraft remained elusive. Despite the hardships of his colleagues, Harmon pressed on. As the winds increased from fifteen to twentyfive miles an hour, Harmon alighted higher into the sky. Meanwhile, his mechanics and a newspaper reporter rushed to a waiting sports car. The driver manning the wheel of the already running automobile shifted into first gear and the car sped off in a whirlwind of dust as they chased their aloft friend. Two additional sports cars, driven by friends of Harmon and other aeronauts, roared away in pursuit. Something was up, the crowd mumbled and gossiped. They wondered if Harmon was going to make another try to cross the Long Island Sound. Harmon carefully banked the plane northward and, then, after a few minutes, westerly toward Roslyn. Maintaining a sharp watch from the ground, the three sports cars sped down the lanes and avenues from Mineola to Roslyn, spending more time on two wheels then all four. The mad dash was quickly curtailed by the diligent efforts of an alert police officer on his motorcycle. While the “trip” was over for the automobile-bound supporters, Harmon continued on his way toward Hempstead Harbor. Suddenly, the men working along the docks at Glenwood Landing peered skyward. The aircraft’s engine buzzed overhead. The odd sight of the “birdman” quickly caused a celebration among the myriad yachts and work boats in the harbor. Tug whistles sounded and deck guns roared. Harmon smiled as he scanned the waters below. Though he had made several passes high above Hempstead Harbor on previous occasions, on this flight he had his sights on a different port of call. He steered his craft northward toward the Larchmont Yacht Club. Harmon had promised to circle the yacht club during a previous dinner party. He had also offered to provide the Tiffany cup, valued at $2,000.00, to the first person to reach him upon landing after a successful navigation over the Long Island Sound. Harmon eased the controls forward and the plane swooped low over the yacht club. Jubilant members waved and shouted to their airborne friend. Several members donned their skipper’s hats and rushed to their motor boats to try and pursue him as he continued to circle above the club and docks. After several passes of the Larchmont Yacht Club and when it was clear that the motorboats would have difficulty in keeping up with the speeding airplane, Harmon nosed his aircraft eastward along the Connecticut shoreline. The last rays of the day were quickly disappearing and Harmon knew that he had to land before darkness fell. After a few minutes, as he neared Greenwich, he spotted his father-in-law’s estate and the waters of Indian Harbor. Commodore Benedict, aboard his yacht tender, saw his son-in-law approaching and ordered his crew to take him ashore at once. Mrs. Harmon, sitting on the porch of her father’s home, put down her binoculars and ran out onto the lawn to greet her husband. Harmon began to descend and prepare for his landing on the well-manicured lawn of the estate but quickly realized he was too high. The plane’s motor continued to roar as he overshot the lawn. Committed to landing, he decided to put his fragile craft down in the neighboring marsh. The skids of the Farman biplane began to slice through the tops of the grassy field, when suddenly wires began to snap, canvas ripped and frames cracked. The plane finally shuddered to a sudden stop. Harmon shut down the engine and sat quietly in his seat. He released his hands from the controls and smiled. He knew that his plane was wrecked but it could be repaired. Most importantly, not only had he survived the landing, he also made history. The entire aloft flight, lasting a total of twenty-nine minutes, and covering a total of twentyseven miles, had been accomplished. His wife rushed to him and the two hugged. It seemed, as Harmon explained, that his wife would receive the trophy as she was the first to greet him upon his landing. Word of the successful flight over the Long Island Sound quickly spread throughout the region. A host of locals began to converge on the scene, the aviator, his wife, and the wrecked aircraft. Harmon and his bride left to return to her father’s estate and despite the diligence of a lone sentry ordered to guard the wrecked aircraft, several curiosity seekers were successful in procuring souvenirs including parts of the frame, spark plugs from the engine, and part of the steering mechanism. The following morning, Harmon returned to the damaged aircraft along with five of his mechanics. He took a seat on board the airplane, described to those who had converged on the site how the plane worked, recounted the experiences aloft, and then, after posing with his father-in-law for several photographs for newspaper reporters, stood up and declared, “Now tear her down, boys.” The mechanics diligently began to work on breaking down the aircraft so that it could be transported back to Mineola for rebuilding and repair. In the late afternoon, the dismantled and damaged aircraft was placed aboard the Samuel Chard, an oyster boat, skippered by Captain William Chard. Ironically, the body of water Harmon had finally conquered with the use of an airplane was now being utilized for the famous plane’s return to the shores of Long Island. Harmon’s biplane was repaired and he, along with his fellow early aeronauts, continued to explore the heavens and test the limitations of aircraft in an assortment of experiments and flights. Though his efforts were wide-spread within the early years of aerial exploration, it was his early evening flight across the Long Island Sound on August 20, 1910 that will, assuredly, remain one of his most remembered aviation achievements.

Piper Gets a New Home • SALLY BANDOW “Piper Gets a New Home,” written by local author Mariah Leal, animal lover who was brought up in Locust Valley, touches the heart of all the people who want to get a dog from a breeder instead of the pound. One of her main characters, Maiya,wanted a specific size and personality to adapt to her other dog, Zaniah, an Akita, and she chose to go in that direction. Maiya looked hard and long and decid- ed on a Bull Mastiff named Piper. He came from a breeder in Michigan and was carefully shipped to New York. The book is a great book for children who need to know what they are going to get, and how patient they will have to be during the training period. Mariah is planning to write another book which will be second in a series. The book is available at the local libraries and also at Petco.
