‘No taxation without representation’
Mahopac biz owners, politicians frustrated with ‘constitutional’ MTA tax
BY MARC WEINREICH
OF MAHOPAC NEWS
COMMUNITY
A number of local Mahopac
business owners and politicians
are frustrated with a ruling this
summer by a New York State appellate court that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority tax
is constitutional. The tax applies
to small business owners in the
12 counties of the New York metropolitan area supported by the
MTA whose payroll as of the first
quarter of 2012 exceeded $2,500,
or $312,500 in any calendar quarter. It also applies to self-employed individuals with net earnings that exceed $10,000 for the

2009, 2010, and 2011 tax years or
$50,000 for tax years beginning
in 2012, and requires them to pay
34 cents on every $100 in salary.
It was ruled unconstitutional
in August 2012 by a state Supreme Court judge, three years
after the MTA introduced the tax
to help shoulder the burden of
more than a billion dollar deficit
it was facing.
Many local business owners and politicians feel that they
shouldn’t have to pay for maintenance of the Metro-North and
Long Island railroads and the
New York City subway and bus
system because they are primarily used by people outside of
Putnam.
State Sen. Greg Ball, who
represents Mahopac, said in an
interview with Mahopac News
that he helped repeal the tax for
80 percent of the small businesses
in the 12 counties affected by the
tax, including Putnam County.
He called the tax “insidious and
harmful,” and will continue to
fight for a full repeal.
“The MTA Payroll Tax was the
most insidious and harmful tax
the New York State legislature
has schemed up in a long time,”
Ball said. “Thanks to our regional
efforts and a new majority in the
Senate we have repealed this
burden for 80 percent of taxpay-
ers, but we really need a full and
retroactive repeal…Since this
job-killing payroll tax was introduced, I have done everything in
my power to fight it. While I am
glad we have achieved the 80 percent repeal, my job isn’t finished
until this tax is fully repealed and
refunded to 100 percent of the
people that ever paid it.”
Ball said in addition to a fight
for a full repeal, he is also demanding a more forensic approach to the MTAs accounting
practices.

When Nagi Wissa decided
against selling cigarettes in his
Lake Mahopac Pharmacy and Surgical that he opened on Route 6 in
2010, he knew his store would be
an anomaly to some of the chains
in the area such as CVS or A&P.
For Wissa, however, the decision to ban tobacco products had
little to do with business. It was
more of an ethical choice.
“Being an independent pharmacist, you’re the neighborhood
pharmacy, and I want to focus
on well-being and part of that is I
don’t believe cigarettes are a part
of a healthy life,” said Wissa, who
added that he also doesn’t sell
soda and lottery tickets for the
same reason.

Now, his choice to not sell tobacco products alongside prescription medications has become
the crux of a push by County
Legislator Sam Oliverio Jr., who
wants to ban cigarettes from being
sold in any pharmacy throughout
Putnam County.
“Pharmacies are supposed to
make people well, and right next
to them are places that don’t do
that,” said Oliverio, who has
chaired the Health, Environmental, Education and Social Committee for the past 16 years. “It
doesn’t make sense…What’s
more important? That little bit of
profit you make on tobacco or the
health of our children?”
Oliverio acknowledged that
it’s a “bold, progressive law” he’s

‘Criminal mischief’ at Carver Cemetery
By Marc Weinreich
OF MAHOPAC NEWS
Town of Carmel Police Chief Michael Johnson said the damage done to
Carver Cemetery on Washington Road
in late July is being investigated as
“criminal mischief.” The post and rail
fencing that had been replaced by local volunteers in October was in “good
shape” on Memorial Day, according to
Town of Carmel Historian Brian Vangor, who was initially notified of the
damage by an e-mail from a passerby
on July 22. The new yellow and blue
metal cemetery sign provided by the
county and installed by the Town of
Carmel Highway Department in November was also taken down.
“It is unfortunate that events like
this occur after volunteers work hard
to preserve our history and make Carmel a more beautiful and better place
in which to live,” said Vangor.
The replacement posts and rails
have been ordered and will cost over
$100, according to Vangor. Volunteers
are in place to repair the damage once
the materials arrive and Vangor said he
expects to have everything back to normal by the end of August.
If you have any tips, please contact
Town of Carmel police at 845-6281300.

Hundreds turn out for charity BBQ
Nearly 300 people turned out for the
Sons of American Legion’s annual pig
roast at the American Legion Post 1080
on Buckshollow Road last Saturday afternoon. The local residents and out-of-towners wined and dined like kings and queens
into the evening, and after all was said and
done, they helped raise more than $5,000
for various charities, from the American
Cancer Society and St. Jude’s Hospital to
the Boy and Girl Scouts of America and
several other local foundations and causes.
Scott’s Corner Market in Pound Ridge
donated a 139-pound pig that was roasted
on-site for nine hours by local resident
George Castagner. Friends of the legion
and nearby families enjoyed the day with a
raffle from local businesses and face painting for the kids, and a Budweiser truck was
on hand to keep the beer flowing into the
evening. Mahopac News was on hand to
capture some of the fun!

for MMS principal
Mahopac Central School District
is continuing its search of a
replacement for middle school
principal Ira Gurkin, who retired
this summer. The following is a
message from Superintendent Tom
Manko:
Please note that the district has
re-opened the Middle School Principal search. The initial search did not
identify candidates who met our rigorous, high expectations for building
leadership.
The district is accepting applications via the Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES’ On Line Application System (OLAS) for the new
Financial Planning | Investment Management | Retirement Planning | Estate Planning
search through and including Friday, August 2, 2013. It is expected
that this second search will conclude
prior to the beginning of the new
school year in September. Once the
quality of the candidates becomes
known the district will be able to
determine if one of these new candidates meets the district’s criteria for
Middle School leadership.
Please encourage qualified candidates to apply via OLAS. Contact

proposing, but he thinks that pharmacies are the one area of commerce where there’s good reason
for a ban on tobacco products. The
fact that he grew up with secondhand smoke is another reason he
is pushing to ease the burden on
many children who face similar
conditions today.
“My father smoked three packs
of Parliaments per day,” Oliverio
said. “I’d wake up every day with a
sore throat. The house stunk of cigarette smoke. When I was a teenager, he tried to give it up and then
completely gave it up. But it was
too late. He died of lung cancer.”
Oliverio will be holding a Health
Committee meeting at 5:30 on
Aug. 13 in the county office building on Gleneida Avenue in Carmel
to allow local business owners and
representatives of pharmacies the
opportunity to voice their opinion
about the possible ban. His goal is
for the legislature to approve the
proposal in September and then
send it to County Executive MaryEllen Odell for her to consider
signing into law.
Odell said in an interview with
Mahopac News that she will absolutely consider the proposal,
but questions whether it’s “smart
legislation” or “feel-good legislation.” Furthermore, she thinks banning tobacco in only certain areas
doesn’t make the entire point.
“I think it’s overregulation to be

quite honest with you,” Odell said.
“If you’re going to ban tobacco,
ban it in its entirety. If you’re going
to make a point, make a point in its
entirety. I’m respectful and mindful
of the damages that smoking has on
individuals and families, but to just
single out those businesses [such as
CVS and A&P], is not fair to them
because they’ve been responsible
partners in our community.”
Putnam County Health Commissioner Dr. Allen Beals, who
initially recommended the initiative to Oliverio, said the fact that
Putnam has high rates of radon
emissions can increase one’s risk
for lung cancer. He said it’s especially important for residents of
Putnam to understand that they’re
putting themselves at a disadvantage because of the radon exposure
coupled with the fact that tobacco
products are readily available in
places that are supposed to be selling products that are good for your
health.
“We want to stop it from being sold alongside where you buy
cereal,” Beals said. “But also in a
pharmacy, in a place where consumers get normal products and fill
their health [needs] to treat the very
problems caused by tobacco.”
MTA
Route 6, is also frustrated with
the recent ruling.
“It’s just another layer or
tax, but a very small portion of
my clients use the MTA,” said
Schneider, who also serves as
Town Councilman. According
to Town Comptroller Mary Ann
Maxwell, approximately $35,000
is budgeted annually for the MTA
tax.
Schneider has been advising
his clients to file a petition with
the New York State Department
of Taxation and Finance so that
if the law is changed and the
MTA tax is ruled unconstitutional
again, they could be eligible for
a refund on the money they’ve
spent paying for a service that
they don’t use.
Vincent Tamagna, chairman
of Putnam County’s Transportation Task Force, said that taxpayers were funding the MTA even
before the tax was implemented
in 2009. According to Tamagna,
approximately $1.8 million in
taxpayer money is already used
for two line items in the annual
county budget that go toward the
MTA. Through county taxes, they
have paid for station maintenance
for services such as snow plowing, shoveling and upkeep of infrastructure. A second line item in
the county’s annual budget is for
generally subsidizing the MTA.
Tamagna said the ruling by the
state appellate court needs to be
challenged by a Federal Court.
“It’s another hidden tax,” Tamagna said. “Wherever they can
get money, they take money. It’s
taxation without representation.
For New York City to be able to
tax us is really unconstitutional.”
FROM PAGE 1
that if we conduct a forensic audit of the MTA accounting practices, we will uncover hundreds
of millions of dollars in savings
and we will be able to fully repeal
the MTA payroll tax once and for
all,” Ball added.
Mike Bucci, executive director
of the Mahopac-Carmel Chamber
of Commerce, said he can appreciate why local business owners
are upset that they’re now legally
obligated by law to pay for a service that they may never use.
“Anytime you’re forced to pay
a tax or fee that you can’t prove
you’ll benefit from or never will
benefit from, it’s understandable
why there will be a lot of discussion and in this case frustration
with the tax,” Bucci said.
One of those local businessmen is Rich D’Andrea, owner of
Park Ford in Mahopac. The dealership, which employs nearly 40
people, was recognized in July
with an award given to less than
10 percent of the Ford and Lincoln dealerships across the U.S.
for surpassing Ford’s sales goals
while displaying exemplary customer service. But D’Andrea said
the new MTA tax is a burden and
is fundamentally wrong.
“We certainly don’t think it’s
legitimate,” D’Andrea said. “We
think it’s a burden, unjust. All of
my employees are driving.”
Lisa Vinci, control office manager for the dealership, said Park
Ford of Mahopac pays nearly
$8,000 per year for the MTA tax.

Decades later,
a splash of color
In 1931, the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company became
the first chain store to do business in Lake Mahopac. Edward
Joyce had built the first store in
the new business section in Mahopac and rented a portion of it
to the A&P Company. The A&P
store later moved up the street
to the Clark Building and took
over one of the two street level
stores there. The Clark Building
was a three story building built
by John W. Clark. Hyman Nussbaum’s Mahopac Department
Store was on the left side with
the A&P opposite on the right
side. The two story building at
the corner of South Lake Boulevard and Cherry Lane, built by
Henry Lynn, was once occupied
by Simone’s Lake Mahopac
Market.

Nussbaum’s Mahopac Department Store, which had burned
down in a fire.
The D&H Pharmacy was located on the right side of the
Clark Building and The A&P
closed its store on South Lake
Boulevard in around 1960. In
June 1966, a new A&P opened at
654 Route 6 on the former Hotel
Mahopac property. Rumor has it
that there is a circa 1930’s photo

Stop and smell the feet
“Do you smell that?” I asked my
husband.
“Smell what?” he responded.
“It smells like… feet,” I replied,
wrinkling my nose.
He nodded.
“Why do you think that is?”
“Cuz we’re in the shoe store?” I
wondered.
“That would be my guess,” he
said dryly.
I looked around and saw a number of men in their socks trying on
shoes. We were in the men’s shoe
department of our local department
store, which, in my experience, had
the potential to be a somewhat more
odiferous experience than being in
the women’s shoe department. This
is not to suggest that men’s feet are
stinkier than women’s. Okay, yes,
actually, it is meant to suggest that.
I was just trying to be PC (podiatrically correct).
“Well, it’s really stinky,” I commented as I pinched my nose.
“Blame them,” he said, tilting his
head toward the other men trying

on shoes in the store.
I shook my head.
“This is not the guys’ fault. It’s
the department store’s fault.”
“How do you figure?”
“I think that if you run a department in a store that has the potential—strike that— the likelihood
to be unpleasant smelling, it is
incumbent upon you to make sure
that there are a number of antistinkifying measures in place, like
air fresheners and high-powered
fans, to protect the delicate sensibilities of the other patrons.”
“… Such as yourself,” he added.
“Yes.”
“Because your feet don’t smell.”
“Right.”
He snorted and said, “Your feet
smell like VINEGAR.”
I gasped and said, “They do
NOT.”
“They do,” he nodded. “They
always have.“
I was stunned. I had always
prided myself on the fact that I had
odorless feet. When we went to
friends’ homes and they would ask
us to take off our shoes at the door,
I would kick off my shoes with
confidence. I would go sockless
in the summer without care. I was
completely secure in my smell-free
feet. But now, to find out that I
did actually have stinky feet called
into question everything I knew to
be true about myself. It was not
the kind of revelation you expect
to find out about yourself in your
forties. Especially when the person
informing you has been living with
this secret for a couple of decades.
It was like finding out you had a
birthmark on your back that looked
like Elvis, or that you sang Barry
Manilow songs in your sleep, or
anything else truly horrifying that
you couldn’t be aware of unless
someone else pointed it out to you.
“How come you never told me?”
I asked him incredulously.
He shrugged. “I guess it never
bothered me enough to say anything.”
“If the vinegar were on the other
foot, I’d definitely tell you,” I told
him. “It’s one of those things you
count on your partner to mention so
some stranger doesn’t end up telling
you instead.”
“What’s the big deal?” he
wondered. “So your feet smell like
vinegar. It’s not a bad smell.”
“It doesn’t gross you out?” I

“North Carolina Republicans
Push Extreme Voter Suppression
Measures” is the headline of a
story by Ari Berman that ran in
The Nation last week. Knowing
off the bat that The Nation is a
liberal political publication, seeing the word “extreme” in a red
state story for me became a red
flag. To the liberal, anything the
right does is extreme. The second red flag are the words “voter
suppression” when talking about
voting in a southern state. To the
liberal, all southern state Republicans do is sit around thinking
of ways to suppress the black,
and now, the Hispanic vote.
This, despite the fact that the
Republican Party was founded
to end slavery and it was the
Republicans who allowed blacks
to register to vote on the south in
the 1950s when the Democrats
would not. Just ask Condi Rice
about that. She is a Republican
because as a child in Alabama,
the Democrats would not let
her father register to vote. The
Republicans welcomed him.
More times than not, if you
substitute the words “common
sense” for the word “extreme,”
you will get the reality of what
is going on. This story is a case

in point. For if you make the
substitutions, and re-title the
story “North Carolina Republicans Push Common Sense Voter

with a more accurate account of
what is being proposed.
More on that later—but first a
little background.
If you only read the Democrats
with bylines’ (80 percent of the
media) version of the Supreme
Court’s June ruling regarding the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, you
would have thought that the Supreme Court ruled that the entire
Voting Rights Act was gutted
and states were free to suppress
black votes willy-nilly. The story
above is meant to cement that
impression.
What the Supreme Court actually said was that you can have
federal oversight and protection

My two cents:
OPINION
to mention is that if you get to the polls
by closing time, no matter how long the
line, you must be allowed to cast a ballot.
However, extending voting hours accomplishes is to allow the controlling entities
to see how many votes are needed to prevail and get those registered to the polls if
they are needed.
“Eliminates state supported voter
registration drives and pre-registration for
16/17 year olds: Why should taxpayers
pay to register those who are not allowed
to vote because of age? There really are
better things to spend tax dollars on or
better yet, give that money back to the tax
payer.
“PURGES VOTER ROLLS MORE OFTEN”
Of course the liberal would be against
this. Purging the rolls often means eliminating the dead. As been documented
in cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, and
New York liberals often need the dead to
win. This is why they are so against voter
I.D. laws. Without them, it is much easier
to get illegal votes.
“IT FLOODS THE DEMOCRATIC
PROCESS WITH MORE MONEY”
This of course is the liberal author’s
reaction to Citizens United vs. FEC. The
only money the liberal wants allowed is
monies supporting their causes or candidates. All others are corrupt, especially if
it comes from conservative groups.
So you see, any honest reading of the
proposals would conclude that these measures are neither extreme nor designed
to suppress votes. Well, actually they are
designed to prevent illegal votes. It is too
bad that honest reporting must step aside
to promote the liberal template.
What is truly eye opening however, is
that the left’s constant push back against
common sense voting laws show just how
much they depend on fraud to win elections. I mean liberals actually say that
Voter ID laws violate the civil rights of
non-whites. They actually say that asking
a black person to show an ID at the polls
is an unfair and racist burden! So, what
about having a driver’s license when driving a car? Is that too much to ask of black
people? How helpless do Democrats think
non-whites are in this country? They are
too helpless and stupid to show an ID
card?
Nah, the left just knows that if every
person had to show ID at the polls, their
candidates would not stand a chance. All
we are saying, is to give fraud a chance…
This is what I KNOW. What say you?

(BPT) - As millions of high
school students prepare to head back
to the classroom in a little more than
month from now, many may reflect
on their summer jobs serving tables,
operating cash registers, tracking inventory and assisting customers.
To most, those summer jobs were
solely for the purpose of having a
little extra cash, or maybe to build a
college resume. But students should
consider the long-term knowledge
gained in such a short span of time.
These hourly positions often provide the building blocks for something bigger to come in the future:
a career.
The restaurant industry hires
hundreds of thousands of seasonal
employees every summer, including high school students getting
their first taste of the working world.
One-half of all adults have worked
in the restaurant industry at some
point during their lives and one out
of three adults got their first job experience in a restaurant, according to
the National Restaurant Association.
But can summer jobs in restaurants lead to bigger and better
things? Research shows that nine
out of 10 salaried restaurant employees started in hourly positions, and
80 percent of restaurant owners began their industry careers as hourly
workers. Nearly all restaurant employees say the industry is a good
place to get a first job and learn basic
working skills.
Even if you didn’t have a summer
job in a restaurant, it’s still a hot spot
for career opportunities. This year
is the 14th consecutive year that
the restaurant industry is posting
stronger job growth than the overall
economy, with employment now totaling more than 13 million. Eightyeight percent of restaurant employees say restaurants often provide the
opportunity to start at the bottom
and move up to management.
And it’s going to keep getting
better. The National Restaurant Association projects that restaurant and
foodservice outlets will add 1.3 million new positions over the next 10
years.
It’s no wonder training for a career in this growing industry is on
the rise. Nearly every state in the
U.S. - 47 in total - now implements
ProStart, a two-year program that
brings the industry and the class-
room together to give 95,000 high
school students across 1,700 schools
nationwide a platform to discover
new interests and talents, while
opening doors to fulfilling culinary
and restaurant management careers.
ProStart is just one of the programs
offered by the National Restaurant
Association Educational Foundation
(NRAEF), which is committed to
ensuring it supports the development
of a highly-trained and professional
talent pool through scholarships and
educational programs. Since 1997,
the Foundation has granted $15 million in scholarships to students and
educators, giving them a jumpstart
on successful careers.
In addition to the ample employment opportunities the restaurant
industry provides, its employee base
is incredibly diverse, consisting of
people from various backgrounds,
speaking many languages and with
different skill sets. Eighty-one percent of restaurant employees say the
industry is a place where people of
all backgrounds and experience can
open their own business.
Millennials make up a large percentage of today’s workforce and
this group tends to gravitate toward
organizations that do good for others. In fact, Jim Lewis, CEO of the
National Society of High School
Students, recently told Forbes that
Millennials are responding to companies that focus on helping others
and want the sense that they are giving back to the community.
And restaurants are certainly part
of that trend. In fact, more than nine
in 10 restaurants are involved in
community service.-For the past 15
years, the NRAEF, in partnership
with American Express, has presented the annual Restaurant Neighbor
Award to celebrate this outstanding charitable service performed by
restaurant operators. It’s companies
like these that will continue to attract
Millennials as they seek out career
opportunities with socially responsible companies.
As summer comes to a close and
students return to school, they can
feel confident in saying they not
only spent their summer making
some extra spending money in a restaurant, but also had the opportunity
to build a foundation for a bright,
fulfilling career.

Celebrate summer with family
(BPT) - Facing busy calendars
and over-scheduled summers,
Americans are dedicating, on average, only 40 minutes a week
for family time, according to a
research study from the NYU
Child Study Center. With summer
in full swing, it’s the perfect time
to capture those fleeting family
moments and create delicious celebrations of happiness, laughter
and togetherness.
Culinary artist, Clare Crespo,
knows how important quality
family time can be, which is why
she is inspiring all families—including her own—to get creative
in the kitchen. Crespo lives by
the mantra that food preparation
and presentation is half the fun,
and can be a spur-of-the-moment,
group event. Take ice cream, for
instance:
“A scoop of Breyers ice cream
is a deliciously blank canvas—one
that has the potential to bring out
the dessert artist in all of us,” said
Crespo. “Amid fits of giggles and
messy moments, a simple bowl of
ice cream can unleash imaginative and memorable quality time
together, even if only for a few
minutes.”
Whether you’re inside the
kitchen or out, Crespo urges families to take every opportunity to
celebrate life’s delicious moments
this summer:
family around the dessert table,
grab a scoop of ice cream, and
dig in. Capture these “delicious
moments of family togetherness”
and share them on Facebook.com/
Breyers for a chance to win prizes

Mahopac resident owner of top dance school
Hard work paid off this summer for the 51 Competing Team
members from Mahopac resident Darcy Baia-Cohen’s Darcy’s
Academy of Dance. The competitive dance team, which is
based just outside Mahopac in Putnam Valley, won America’s
Best Dance School and the coveted Las Vegas Cup at the Access Broadway National Talent Competition in Hershey, Pa.,
beating out schools from across the nation.
For the members of the team, the recognition was a high honor; they have dedicated themselves for years and have chosen
dance over sleepovers, time with friends and even school sports
to train weekends, early mornings and evenings throughout the
school year.
In addition to the members of the Competing Team, another
30-40 recreational-level dancers who make up Darcy’s Dance
Crew also attended and scored well at the National Talent Competition in Hershey, PA. Together, these two teams prepped and
performed 115 dance numbers, which spanned multiple genres
of dance including Musical Theater, Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip
Hop, Tap and Contemporary dance at various levels from beginner through advanced technical ability. The Competing
Team and Crew Team performers range in age from 7 to 17.
Baia-Cohen, who has been in business since 1993, said she is
proud to win the award.
“I am so proud of all my dancers,” Darcy said as she accepted the Las Vegas Cup on behalf of her dance team. “Thank
you very much for this award.”
In addition to the Las Vegas Cup, both the Dance Crews and
the Competing Team won top honors in many of the categories.
Dance Crew numbers won Best Choreography, Best Young
Dance Group and Best Senior Dance Group. Dance Company
numbers also won Most Entertaining, Best Dance Production,

JARED MILIAN
Senior gives heart and soul to soccer
Jared Milian is a rising senior at
Mahopac High School and is a midfielder
on the varsity soccer team.
BY ROB DIANTONIO
OF MAHOPAC NEWS
How old were you when you first
started playing soccer and how did you
get into it?
I was in kindergarten when I realized
soccer would take priority in my life. I
realized this through watching my brother
play in-house soccer.
What do you think are your strengths
as a soccer player?
I think my strengths as a soccer player
consist of my IQ on the field, my ability
to think quickly, and my ability to put the
ball through almost any gap.
ing on?
I would like to improve my strength, to
make it that much harder to knock me off
the ball. I would also like to work on my
finishing to start racking up some more
goals to really help my team out.
What are your goals/expectations for
the team this season?
My goals and expectations for the team
this season are to match if not surpass our
2012-13 team, which would include making it to the section semifinals.
As a senior are you looking to take on
more of a leadership role with the team
this season?
I absolutely would like to step up as a
leader for my team. We have a great group
of kids and I think it would be a great
honor to be someone they respected.
The team lost a very talented player
in Joseph Iraola to graduation. How
tough will it be to replace him and are
you looking to try to fill that scoring
void for the team?
I think a player like my best friend
Joey is irreplaceable and a team can only
hope to find someone half as good as
he. I am trying my best to fill the large
void Joe-Joe has left in terms of scoring
goals, but I highly doubt I’ll come close
to Joe’s amount of career goals — he was
a machine.
How would you describe who Jared
Milian is to the readers at home?
I’d say in simplest terms, I’m very
outgoing and it takes a special person to
put up with me. I’m also the type of kid
that never stops looking for improvement,
especially in soccer.
Who are some other players on the
team that you expect to step up and
score plenty of goals this year?
Some players I expect to step up and
have big seasons are Conor Butler, Ryan
Conlin, Jesse Lichtman, Ray Arcieri, and
the rest of the starting 11. I also have high
hopes for newcomers like Brett Mattos
and Kris Nikprelaj.
Have you decided where you’re going
to college and why did you pick that
college? If not, have you narrowed
down which college you want to go?
Which colleges are in the mix?
I have not yet decided where I want to
attend school for the 2014 fall semester.
I’ve gotten a lot of e-mails asking me to
attend their school or showing interest
but only few have stuck out among them.
These schools include Oneonta State and
Stony Brook University.
Besides the summer league team at
Lakeland, are you playing soccer for
any other teams over the summer?
I play for a club by the name of New
York Soccer Club and I owe them a lot of
credit for the player I am today.
What are you looking to improve
about your game before the season
starts? Is there anything you’re focus-
Tell us one thing about yourself that
not a lot of people may know?
One thing people may not know about
me is that I’m very approachable and easy
to talk to.
What’s your favorite subject in school
and why?
My favorite subject in school is history.
History is important because by learning
from the past we can create a better future.

Soccer star wins national championship with academy team
Arun Basuljevic, a rising senior at Mahopac, plays pivotal role in championship game for Red Bulls
BY DAN WINOGRADOFF
FOR MAHOPAC NEWS
After beating three teams in six
days in the group stage to reach
the championship game, Mahopac
rising senior Arun Basuljevic and
the under-18 New York Red Bulls
Academy team defeated Shattuck
St. Mary’s Soccer Academy of Shattuck, Minn. 2-1 in overtime in the
United States Soccer Developmental Academy Finals on July 20 in
Houston, Texas.
The group stage games were
played at Houston Amateur Sports
Park and the championship game
was played at BBVA Compass Stadium, home of the Major League
Soccer team the Houston Dynamo.
In the championship game, the
Red Bulls gave up an early 10th
minute goal to Shattuck, but they
eventually tied the match at one in
the 30th minute on a goal by Ethan
Decker. The battle between the two
powerhouse squads lingered on and
the match needed overtime to decide
the champion.
In the 115th minute of the match,
the Red Bulls found a way to pull
the victory out, and it all happened
with Basuljevic’s aggressiveness.
Basuljevic managed to get a shot
off, as he blasted one towards the
keeper. The keeper deflected the
shot, but the ball managed to bounce
right to Basuljevic’s teammate, Jhon
Estama, in which he buried the ball
into the back of the net to ensure the
lead. The Red Bulls then closed out
the game to win the championship.
Basuljevic, who created the spark
for the offense in overtime, was
ecstatic when the final whistle was
blown, as his teammates charged
off of the bench and onto the field to
celebrate with the whole team over
the victory.
“It was an amazing feeling,” Basuljevic said. “To win a national
championship is the best feeling for
any athlete and it was so rewarding
to see all of the hard work we put
into the season pay off.”
Basuljevic, who is committed to
play for Georgetown University in
the fall of 2014, feels that this experience has taught him a lot and he
will use what he learned from playing with his academy team in preparing himself for the college game.
“I have gotten better in all aspects
of the game and I am a much more
complete player now than I was a
year ago,” he said. “I scored more
this season and I was more involved
offensively. I took a bigger responsibility on the team and I became
more of a leader as the season went
on.”
Basuljevic scored two of his seven goals on the season in the USDA
Finals and recorded three assists in
the tournament.
The rising senior and his fellow
teammates went undefeated in the
group stage before reaching the
championship game by tying Albertson Soccer Club 3-3 and defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy 1-0 and the Seattle Sounders
Academy 4-0.
Basuljevic was recently named as
a MLS Star of the Future by mlssoccer.com. He was very pleased with
the recognition.
“I am very fortunate to be able to
play on such a great team with such
good players,” Basuljevic said. “I
just want to continue to improve and
hopefully one day I will be a professional soccer player.”

TLC Foundation Aug.
10 at Camp Kiwi
The Ty Louis Campbell Foundation is holding “Mess Fest” at
Camp Kiwi on Aug. 10. Ty was a
little boy who passed away last October after losing a battle to brain
cancer, weeks after his third birthday. His father, a former Mahopac
resident, has had the support of the
community throughout the difficult
times and has worked to launch the
Ty Louis Campbell Foundation,
which aims to raise funds for more
research into childhood cancer.
The group recently launched a new
initiative, “The Muddy Puddles
Project.” Jumping in muddy puddles was the thing Ty wanted to do
most when his cancer was initially
cured, and that concept organically
grew to become the premise of
the project. In celebration of Ty’s
life, their goal is to inspire parents
to let their children have more fun
in honor of children, like Ty, who
spend their childhood unable to
embrace the simple joys of being
a kid.
The Muddy Puddles Project encourages parents everywhere to
photograph their kids jumping in
puddles, getting messy with finger paints, playing with glitter,
and anything and everything they
can think of as long as it is fun and
carefree, and post the images to
The Muddy Puddles Project website at muddypuddlesproject.org.
One hundred percent of the proceeds gained from the $5 fee to
post pictures will be directed to
The Ty Louis Campbell Foundation at thetlcfoundation.org, which
was founded in September 2012 to
raise funds and awareness that will
directly support pediatric cancer
research.
For more information, contact
Joe Sergeant of the Ty Louis Campbell Foundation at 917-287-6299.

Chamber Spotlight
Goldberg Plumbing celebrates 30 years
Even when Doug Marr first
began working with Dave Goldberg from Goldberg Plumbing, he
wasn’t necessarily sure what he
wanted to do with his career. “I
had never intended on becoming
a plumber,” he said. “[But] when I
came home [from school], I didn’t
have a job.”
Upon graduating from Clarkson
University in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in engineering and
management, he began working
with Goldberg out of the company’s garage in Yorktown. “I was
good with my hands -- I picked
stuff up very quickly,” he said.
“Within a year or so I could go out
and do jobs myself.”
And yet, even after Marr became Goldberg’s son-in-law -- he
married Dave’s daughter, Mindy,
in 1988 -- he still had reservations
about becoming heavily involved
in the business.
So, in 1994, Marr left Goldberg
Plumbing to continue to pursue a
lifelong passion in engineering, attending Manhattan College for a
master’s degree in environmental
engineering. “I got a little tired of
plumbing for a bit,” he said.
When he graduated in 1996, he
began working for the town of Yorktown in the engineering department. Then, in 1998, he became a
Project Manager at Folchetti and
Associates in Brewster, where he
worked until 2005.
But it was in 2005 when he decided to return to Goldberg Plumbing in order to help Goldberg out.
“The stress was getting to him,
and he needed help in the office,”
he said. “And to find someone
to [eventually] take the business
over.”
At that point, Goldberg had been
running his business for well over
30 years. “It was hard for him,”
Marr said. “He built it up for years,
so for him to let go, it was really
difficult.”
But Marr knew that when he fully committed to returning, he was
going to have to eventually take
over the business from his fatherin-law. “When I came back, the
intention was that I would take it
over eventually.”
And Marr admits that the transition wasn’t without its challenges,
because he and Goldberg didn’t
always meet in the middle. “It was
a little bit difficult,” he said. “It’s
always been difficult, just because
we’re so different.”
Over time, Goldberg became
less-and-less involved in day-today operations, instead focusing on
the important business decisions,
and handling estimates and marketing. “He’s the kind of guy that
always thought he could do it forever,” Marr said. “But it gets hard
after a while.”
Though Marr has been running
Goldberg Plumbing for the past
two years, the official transition
didn’t take place until January of
2012.
Now, since Goldberg has ceased
operating his company day-to-day,
Marr is able to focus on the future
of the business.
And even in spite of the fact that
Goldberg has moved on, many
of the company’s values that he
worked to develop in over 30 years
of running the company still remain, including his top-notch customer service.
“You’re never not going to get
a callback from us,” Marr said. “A
sign of a great company is how they
respond when something doesn’t
go right... everybody makes mistakes. We always fix them regardless of what happens.”
Doug Marr (left) and Dave Goldberg
Though the work atmosphere
has changed drastically -- Marr has
focused on delegating duties to his
key employees -- Goldberg’s customer-first vision remains wholly
intact.
“When people call us with a
problem,” Marr said. “We do what
it takes to resolve their problem.
[That’s] something Dave believed
in strongly.”

Luck out with the weather,
not your financial goals
You can get lucky by finding a
parking meter with time left on it.
You can “luck out” by having nice
weather on your vacation. You can
even be lucky at love. But when it
comes to financial matters, you’re
better off not counting on Lady
Luck — and focusing instead on
setting and pursuing goals.
Here are some suggestions for
establishing and pursuing your financial objectives:
• Be specific. You probably have
a lot of ideas about what you want
to do, but if you’re going to turn
these wishes into reality, you need
to get specific. So, for example,
instead of telling yourself that you
want to retire early, set a goal of retiring at, say, 62. You can then use
this target number to help guide
your overall investment strategy.
To illustrate: You can determine
that you need to invest a certain
amount of money each year, and
earn a certain rate of return, to be
able to retire at 62. You can also estimate about how much money you
can afford to withdraw from your
investment accounts each year to
sustain a retirement that begins at
62.
• Prioritize your goals. Of course,
you want to achieve all your financial goals —and you can have
a better chance of doing so if you
rank these goals in terms of both
importance and timing. For ex-
GUEST
CORNER
TOM
CASEY
ample, you may want to send your
kids to college, purchase a vacation
home and still be able to retire at
age 62. How should you allocate
your resources to each of these
goals? Should you invest more at
any given time for a specific goal?
What types of investments are best
for each of these goals? Prioritizing your goals can help you answer
these and other questions — and
help direct your overall investment
strategy.
• Be prepared to change your
goals. Over time, your family and
financial circumstances can change
considerably — which means you
shouldn’t be surprised, or alarmed,
if you have to change your goals
accordingly. And you’ll find it
easier to maintain this flexibility if
you’ve worked diligently to create
an investment portfolio with sufficient resources to allow you to
change direction, as needed.
• Review your progress regularly. If you’re going to eventually
achieve your goals, you absolutely
need to measure your progress
along the way. Are your investments performing the way you
had anticipated? Are your goals
becoming more expensive than
you had initially envisioned? To
achieve these goals, are you taking on too much — or too little
— risk? To answer these types of
questions, it’s a good idea to review your overall progress at least
once a year and then make whatever adjustments may be necessary.
As you can see, it will take considerable effort to set, review and,
hopefully, achieve your goals. And
it can be somewhat complex, too,
so you may want to work with a
financial professional — someone
who takes time to talk with you
about your goals, understands your
risk tolerance and family situation,
and has the training and experience
necessary to help you work toward
your objectives.
But in any case, think hard about
your goals and how you might accomplish them. And don’t delay
in taking action — because goals
are generally easier to attain if you
have time on your side.
