At the recent Glen Cove City Council meeting, Mayor Ralph Suozzi assured everyone there, that prior to the City Council voting on Resolution 6C, that “just the overlay zoning was to be voted on, not the entire Mansion project, nor the proposed subdivision of 17 to 20 acres for housing.” The item was listed on the agenda as: “Resolution considering approving a rezoning for the North Manor Estate Project.” (Proposed by Mayor Suozzi. Mayor Suozzi also stated that, “if the resolution of the overlay zoning was approved, the subdivision plans must then go to the Planning Board for further consideration. This might include further site, water & drainage testing.” The meeting was well attended by many residents, especially those in areas which would be most impacted by the changes: Dosoris Lane, Lattingtown Road, Beechwood and Lattingtown Ponds. There have been several public hearings and heated discussions prior to the vote. After a Council recess of half an hour, the resolution was approved but with three nays from Councilmen Tony Gallo, Tony Jiminez and Reggie Spinello. The deciding vote was cast by the Mayor. Reggie Spinello is running against Suozzi in the upcoming mayoral election. The zoning re-designation is considered a compromise, since the Mansion, built in Photo by Victoria Crosby 1910 for John and Ruth Pratt, could have been demolished, and more houses built had the zoning change not occurred. Kristina Heuser, a Republican who is running for City Council, commented that this issue has seen very little honest reporting, only fluff pieces about how the mansion is being preserved. “ Since when is changing the zoning to allow for subdivision and residential development against the wishes of all of the surrounding residents preservation? That's destruction of a beautiful piece of property and section of Glen Cove!” said Heuser. Sybil Carton, a resident of Beechwood, said that “Beechwood and the surrounding one acre planned developments are outraged at the ‘out of control’ Mayor’s recent actions. There would be 20, two family houses, 40 units, on less than 18 acres.” Dr. Eve Lupenko, candidate for City Council said, “the City Council made a responsible decision, which, in the long run, will protect the remainder of The Mansion and the great lawn. This is reminiscent of the debate a few years ago which allowed the development of 7 beautiful homes as compared to a massive development project, right across the street from The Mansion.” Meanwhile in nearby Manhasset, concerned residents fear that Inisfada, the mansion built by Nicholas and Genevieve Brady in 1916-20, and donated to the Jesuits in 1937, may be Continued on page 10 Damaged Dock in OB Faces Deadline The dock in Oyster Bay’s western waterfront needs repairs before it can open for the Oyster Festival, October 1920. The pier, damaged during Hurricane Sandy, is used by local fishermen and also is a primary dock for historic sailing ships and vessels that are honored at the annual festival. The pier has been off-limits since the very destructive storm hit Long Island. The pier was inspected by Nassau Suffolk Engineering and Architecture, and was determined to be structurally sound. Town officials believe the work can be done in time, and are confident that festival organizers can book the visiting ships, as they must, in advance. The decking and railing of the long pier needs to be replaced, and has served to dock various tall ships, the oyster sloop Christine, and FDNY Fireboat John J. Harvey. There is a competitive bid out on the work and the town board is expected to hire the contractor at an upcoming meeting. The cost is not yet known. Soccer Field Vote Tabled • VICTORIA CROSBY At the recent Glen Cove City Hall meeting another controversial vote was tabled. The city has interest from a developer in Virginia who wishes to build another assisted-living facility on Pascucci Field. The public response was very negative as Glen Cove already has many assisted-living places and comments on Patch.com accuse the mayor of not being transparent in this matter. Mayor, Ralph Suozzi, stated that this has been discussed for some time at precouncil meetings which are open to the public. However, it was noted by another comment on Patch.com that not many people attend the pre-council meetings because they are not permitted to comment at these meetings. Adam Ramadan posted on Patch.com that he was devastated that the mayor would negotiate a potential contract and then put it though a vote, rather than the request for a proposal process. He also asked why the public hasn’t been asked what they would like to see happen to this property. The mayor has subsequently said that the city should have asked the soccer community for their input. Beechwood resident Sybil Carton said that the Mayor’s “proposed selling of a soccer field, especially this one, without guaranteeing a new field without a public hearing is off the charts.” Pascucci Field is a regulation size, lighted soccer field on 4 acres of property adjacent to the Glen Street train station of the Long Island Rail Road. Glen Cove Hospital to Become Ambulatory Only The North Shore-Long Island Health System that operates Glen Cove Hospital announced Monday that in 2014 Glen Cove Hospital will become an ambulatory care facility due to under utilization of its declining patient volume and the change in hospital reimbursement under Obamacare. Hospitals under the new law will receive less compensation for each procedure and test. Hospital authorities were quick to mention that the 24-hour emergency room would remain as well as ambulatory surgery, The Monti Cancer Center, medical offices, and an outreach center. Programs such as orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation and psychiatry will be moved to nearby facilities. The news prompted Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi to express concern over the impact the change will have upon the local economy and especially the many Glen Cove medical practices that service patients. The State Department of Health will have the final say on the proposed changes. Hunger Relief The Summer Food Service Program, through the hunger relief organization Island Harvest Food Bank, offers free lunches for children 18 and younger, at the Robert M. Finley Middle School at 70 Forest Ave, this summer. Hunger is a real problem on Long Island. These supplemental meals help children receive adequate nutrition. The program is administered by the Food and Nutrition Service, and managed at the local level by USDA sponsors, including local government agencies, camps, and non-profit organizations such as Island Harvest. The program started on July 8th at Finley. Feeding America, the leading domestic hungerrelief organization, reported 62 percent of client households with children under 18 participate in the National School Lunch Program, but in the summer, only 14 percent are in a summer feeding program. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 16.7 million children under 18 live in households where they are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food necessary for a healthy life. Although food insecurity is harmful to any individual, it can be particularly devastating among children, due to their increased vulnerability and the potential for long-term consequences. 16.7 million, or approximately 23 percent of children in the U.S., live in poverty.

OUT OF GAS This month the Motor City of Detroit filed for federal bankruptcy protection since it could no longer function under its massive debt load. This day of reckoning has been forecast for years by responsible municipal analysts, however the city has resisted, thanks to the infusion of cash from bondholders seeking high returns on their investments. With approximately 40 percent of the city’s total income from taxes and fees earmarked for pension payments to former city employees, not enough was left for debt retirement, and ongoing city services. The Detroit bankruptcy was years in the making with excessive demands by municipal employees, which compliant city government officials were happy to grant for labor peace and reciprocity at election time. Also included in the toxic brew were the rating agencies that touted Detroit municipal bonds as a safe investment with high returns. A trip to Detroit, or viewing a video depicting the viability of Detroit, would have convinced any awake investor or financial advisor that this was not a city in decline, but one that was already dead. Its city services, such as police and fire, have been reduced to the point where crime and fires have spiked, leaving those residents who have remained, to suffer the consequences of poor management and governmental corruption. Detroit may be the first major American city to experience the consequences of fiscal irresponsibility and poor governance in the delivery of necessary municipal services, but clearly it will not be the last. As long as we elect lowintellect individuals to positions of responsibility who cave into the excessive demands of municipal employee unions, the recipe for disaster is assured. Detroit was the first. Which other U.S. city will be next? The Publisher L E T T E RS TO T HE E D I TOR The Leader has received several unsigned letters to the editor.

A SPECIAL THANKS FROM A SPECIAL GUY To the Editor, Congratulations and thank you for your excellent special graduation keep sake edition of July 3, 2013. I know that all of the graduates will appreciate your caring and support. I am proud that I had the opportunity to work closely with so many superintendents, principals, staff, students and their parents when I served as a Nassau County 4-H Club agent and as a monitor and mentor. I send my congratulations and best wishes to the all. proclamation by the Glen Cove City Council; which I was informed was approved at its July 23 meeting. The good that results from approving this proclamation cannot be weighed and measured for consequence. As I said following the meeting I scheduled with the Mayor and Connie and Bob, it is an important symbol for the city; a way to show respect and honor the veterans who served in this country’s wars and were wounded during the course of that service. It is a gesture that pays tribute to so many who have sacrificed so much on behalf of our country. The citizens of Glen Cove should be proud of this accomplishment. Charles D.

THE LEADER IS ONLINE! To the Editor, What happened to Mayor Suozzi’s open transparent government pledge? I have been very displeased, to say the least, for the last seven years. While attending Tuesday, July 23’s city council This past June, I was visited by Conrad “Connie” Steers and Bob Chiappone, both of whom are affiliated with the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH), with a straight forward and honorable request. Can Glen Cove become a Purple Heart City? For those who are unfamiliar with MOPH, it was founded in 1932 and chartered by an Act of Congress in 1958 to recognize military men and women who were wounded in combat. It provides support for all veterans, scholarship programs for members and their families while maintaining communication with members of Congress on issues key to all veterans. I asked Connie and Bob to join me at a meeting with the Glen Cove City Mayor to ask if he might be willing to put the measure before the City Council for discussion and ultimately a vote.

I am disappointed and angry that the Mayor had negotiated behind closed doors to sell the public property known as Pascucci Field to a private company. His indifference to the people of Glen Cove is outstanding; he never brought this out in public to hear what the people thought about it. He never even posted a request for proposal (RFP). If he had, at least he might have generated interest from the private business sector and produced bids. It is time to say good-bye to this unresponsiveness to the citizens of Glen Cove and to the lack of transparency of his government.

Permanent repairs to the plants need to be made so that the facilities can withstand the impact of future storms. County Executive Edward P. Mangano ordered an advisory committee to meet bi-monthly with the Commissioner of Public Works and the Office of Legislative Budget Review to evaluate the status/progress of the repair and rehabili- tation of the wastewater treatment plants. Mangano has called for an investment of over $700 million in repairs. Other members on the committee will come from the following organizations: Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Operation Splash, Sludge Stoppers, League of Conservation Voters, Point Lookout Civic Association, Vision Long Island, and the Nassau Coalition of Civic Associations. After each meeting, a progress report is to be sent to County Executive Mangano. Photo by H&K Engineering Group It was announced last week by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, that the Environmental Protection Agency will provide $815,000 to Nassau County for cleanup of the Doxey site in Glen Cove. The site is the final brownfield site in Glen Cove’s Waterfront Redevelopment Area to be decontaminated. It is estimated the completion of the Waterfront Redevelopment Area project will create 7000 temporary construction jobs and 750 permanent jobs. Senator Gillibrand announced legislation to revitalize inactive industrial sites when she was at Glen Cove Ferry terminal and Boat Basin last year. The Senator’s Waterfront Brownfields Revitalization Act will award similar grants to nonprofit organizations and other local governments that redevelop abandoned and underused industrial properties on waterfronts. The Doxey site is crucial for the city’s plans for redevelopment of the waterfront. Brownfields are harmful to surrounding environments and habitats . At least 38 acres of Hempstead Harbor are impacted by contaminants, reducing the quality of the habitat available for wildlife, fish and shellfish. In the sediment of Glen Cove Creek, a high concentration of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals were identified. An estimated 450,000 contaminated sites in the U.S. are targeted for cleanup and redevelopment. The EPA’s brownfields investments have leveraged more than $20 billion in cleanup and redevelopment funding. The funding has enabled 90,000 jobs, in construction, cleanup, and redevelopment.

Supervisor Venditto and the ‘Music Under the Stars’ Concerts Great music of the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties highlights the fourth week of the Town of Oyster Bay’s “Music Under The Stars” concert series, Supervisor Venditto announced. All concerts begin at 8 p.m., unless otherwise noted. On Wednesday, July 31, the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra, conducted by founder Lou Panacciulli, will perform at Plainview-Old Bethpage Park, located on Washington Avenue in Plainview. The orchestra will be performing some of the most beloved songs from Broadway, television and the movies. “The Nassau County Pops are highly regarded for presenting an entertaining mix of popular and light classical music,” Supervisor Venditto remarked. “Renowned harmonica virtuoso Jia-Yi will be a special guest that night, and vocalists Jack and Ann Cassin will perform love songs from some of the biggest hits on Broadway. This will be a very special night for fans of many music genres.” The month of August begins with hit songs from the 80s floating through the summer air at Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park, located on Motor Avenue in Farmingdale. 80s tribute band Rubix Kube will rock the park on Thursday, August 1. Also appearing will be Lisa Lisa, who, with her band Cult Jam, recorded some of that decade’s most memorable hits. “Lisa Lisa is famous for the number one hits ‘Head to Toe,’ and ‘Lost in Emotion,’ which she recorded with her band Cult Jam,” Supervisor Venditto said. “She has been called ‘The Queen of Latin Dance,’ and it is with great excitement that the Town of Oyster Bay welcomes her. In addition, guests will also hear one of the best and most original eighties tribute bands, Rubix Kube. It should be a fantastic night with songs from a decade that produced great music.” On Friday, August 2, fans of The Beatles and Chicago will want to be at John J. Burns Park in Massapequa, where the cast of Beatlemania, as well as Beginnings, a Chicago tribute band, will delight fans. The Supervisor continued, “Chicago is one of the most successful bands in American music history and Beginnings presents an honest, inspiring and entertaining tribute to the music of this group. Beginnings has entertained so many throughout the country and it’s exciting to welcome the group to the Town of Oyster Bay.” The fourth week of “Music Under The Stars” concludes with some of the most well-known music of the 50s and 60s as Lenny Cocco and the Chimes, Tommy Mara and the Crests, and Shirley Alston Reeves, the former lead singer of the Shirelles, will all be performing at John J. Burns Park, in Massapequa, on Saturday, August 3. The Supervisor concluded by reminding residents that they are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket to the performances.

GC Theater Talks Continue Mayor Ralph Suozzi is working on efforts to reopen the Glen Cove movie theatre, which has been closed since March. The mayor is in direct contact with the equity group purchaser of the theatre’s note, and the theatre’s previous operator. Incentives and financial assistance have been offered to both parties, includ- ing the Industrial Development Agency and the city’s resources. The Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Improvement District are discussing a “welcome back” plan. Many people in Glen Cove want the theatre back, including the local restaurants, which have lost a lot of business since the theatre closed. '( '$% ''%& # # # # $ ''%& & ''%& '! ''%& "!

FINKLE In last month’s Reflections article, I acknowledged that Knole, the former Herman Duryea / Bradley Martin estate at Old Westbury, was a delight to visit. Each time that I drove through the open iron gates during a twenty year period, I entered a private domain set apart from the world outside. As Part One concluded last month, there I was waiting in the entrance hall of Knole, holding documents containing mansion photos. Rapidly walking towards me was Esmond Bradley Martin, the estate’s owner. He was tall, in his mid sixties at the time, very well dressed with tan pressed slacks, navy blazer and a cool gold tinted ascot. With a big smile, he introduced himself as we shook hands. He was very interested in viewing the materials that I had uncovered. Before we sat down to peruse, Mr. Martin insisted on showing the house. That was exactly what I had hoped. We climbed one of two separated marble staircases, both leading to the most spectacular rotunda that I’ve ever seen. I stared upward in absolute amazement. (Last year’s much overused expression “awesome”, would for this year’s fad word be called “amazing”.) There was no other area just like this in any other Long Island mansion. The splendid huge oval shaped space was well over forty feet high, bordered by a second floor railed circular balcony, surrounded outer rows of windows allowing in the brilliant sunlight. Set high above it all was a majestic domed ceiling. This had to be the center of the house, the point from which everything radiated. Many wide archways lead to huge surrounding rooms. The walls of the entire rotunda were composed of blocks of Caen stone imported from Normandy. The highly polished floor appeared to be large red terra cotta squares leading through entrances far down long corridors. A central wide sweeping white marble staircase leading up towards many bedrooms completed the interior architectural masterpiece. I eventually saw each of Knole’s seventeen fireplaces, most were pristine and carved from Italian marble. The exterior of Knole, as viewed from the south elevation, had the look of an ancient Italian Palladian two story villa, quite unlike the site presented at the front entrance. A rectangular reflecting pool with water fountain situated between the rear wings, fashioned a balance, added charm and also a gentle mist. Five, thirty foot high marble columns stood on the east side of the lawn and a series staircases leading to multi terraced colorful English gardens with exquisite statuary and distant lily pond, lay to the west. I could ramble on for pages detailing the immense rooms with twenty foot ceilings, antique marble fireplaces, imported vintage paneling, ornate plaster work, exotic wall coverings and massive arched French doors and windows, but as space will allow, I’ll write a bit more about some unique experiences. Esmond, the son of Bradley Martin and Helen Phipps, moved to the family Knole Rear Elevation, circa 1906 residence of Knole during the early 1960s. He was the grandson of Henry Phipps, steel magnate and partner of Andrew Carnegie back in the day. Esmond lived there alone but had two housekeepers who performed the daily cleaning and cooking chores. He appeared sort of shy yet a well mannered gracious gentleman. He pursued varied interests such as chess, collecting vintage pocket watches, playing lawn or court tennis, cultivating orchids, collecting stamps and filling the cozy library with leather bound rare books. After the tour of mansion and gardens, time was spent looking over the old estate related magazines, books and post cards from my collection. He had been unaware how much past publicity the property had warranted. I left some materials in his possession to study for a few weeks and upon my return, he asked if I had additional society magazines from the 1930s. Of course, I had collected just a few hundred period magazines at that time but in the 1980s the archives were rapidly expanding. So for the next twenty years, Finkle became a “bookmobile”, picking up the magazines and books that he had viewed and delivering “new” vintage issues. Esmond discovered that many of his friends and relatives appearing on those old glossy black and white pages were photographed while attending Long Island gala’s, playing polo, at weddings and just hob knobbing with others in society. He enjoyed searching Town and Country, Spur, Vogue, Country Life, House and Garden and architectural publications for bits of nostalgic remnants from his past. From the 1970s through the1990s Knole was utilized as a location for feature movies, television shows and advertisements. In his words, the fees received for allowing the use of his property “helped to pay the real estate taxes.” It was an out-of-body experience, chatting, laughing and dining with famous film stars prior to and between takes. Some of the many movies filmed at Knole, were “The Purple Rose of Cairo” in 1985 with Woody Allen directing, Jeff Daniels and Mia Farrow in the title roles. I returned each day for an entire week and mingled with cast and crew.

By LC Colgate It is hard to believe our Summer Day Camp ends on Friday, August 16th. For many families this is a time to vacation and make extended family visits before revving up again for the start of school in September. However, here at the Club, this time of year signals our annual scheduled maintenance and beautification program. There’s a window of opportunity for the staff, after the Club closes to the kids for the season, for floors to be stripped and refinished, carpets cleaned, walls repainted, repairs made and in general to spruce up the Club. Another end of the season ritual is the annual End of Summer Picnic and this year is no exception. The annual picnic is scheduled for Friday, August 16th, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Our Summer Day Camp staff have put together a last-gasp-of-summer, fun-filled afternoon for a barbeque that will include favorites such as hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, games, sports, inflatables and much, much more. All our Summer Day Camp kids and their families are invited to attend. Volunteers are needed for set up, servers, food donation and clean up. Contact Anita, our Camp Director, at 676-1460, ext 16, if you are able to help. The saying goes whenever one door closes another opens, and these words aptly apply to Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club. In closing the door to summer programming, we open the door to fall. Following the buzz of activity by our hardworking staff giving the building a much needed face lift, we prepare for the registration of members, new and old, for the 2013-2014 school year. On Tuesday, September 10th the Club will host an Open House from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. to kick-off registration for membership, transportation and fall programs. After the Open House all forms are available at the Club and you can register in person Monday thru Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or call 676-1460 with any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you all at the picnic. Then be sure to enjoy the rest of the summer and we’ll see you in September. $! &!" /, *.- 5!. #(.) .,)/&6 '), ) .( #( ." -*,#(! -/' ', ( && ."( #( ." 1#(., 1"( ."3 , #(-# '), "3 ()/(., '), "4,- 0( 1"( ( #( ), #(! )( &-" 0,3."#(! ,)' . #!".- )! #!".- &,.#)(- &- .#%- #(.-.#(& *,-#.- #( .#)(- ( ) )/,- 0)#& #(.- &#% #(!

The festival is a three-week-long adventure that challenges all who participate to take their playing to the next level with standard repertoire from Mendelssohn symphonies to Beethoven quartets. The focus of the festival is chamber music, which provides musicians the opportunity to shine like a soloist while among their peers in a small ensemble. Chamber music allows the students to learn how to communicate and work as a team while building bonds with their ensemble partners. Wednesday and Thursday were all about showcasing the quartets, quintets, septets and ensembles that worked hard all through July to learn and perform their pieces for audiences at the Hillwood Recital Hall and the Cinema Recital Hall at LIU Post. Students as young as nine years old had the chance to perform alongside musicians their own age, and even professionals in the field. Members of The Pierrot Consort (the ensemble-inresidence at LIU Post), Susan Deaver, Dale Stuckenbruck, Veronica Salas, Haewon Kim and Maureen Hynes played alongside festival participants in some of the groups, and on Friday, July 19th, violist of the Emerson Quartet, Lawrence Dutton, even gave a special master class for selected ensembles. On Tuesday July 23rd, The Imani Winds, a wind quintet dedicated to premiering new works around the globe as well as participating educational residencies that reach thousands of students each year, performed a concert at LIU Post to the delight of the Festival participants. Many of the ensembles in the Festival showcase families. Sarah, Angela, and Laura Bogen are all sisters who play violin, flute, and cello, respectively. Chloe Wendell, Amanda Segale, and William Halpern, who play viola, violin, and bassoon, are all cousins, and the directors of the festival found a quartet for bassoon and strings so they could play together. Music brought even more families together in the Festival Chamber Orchestra concert on Friday July 26th, when the full orchestra (l-r): Amanda Segale, violin, William Halpern, bassoon, played at Tilles Center. Alec Maire, cello, and Ryan Furrer, viola. The concert featured winPhoto by Kristi Halpern ners of the Chamber Music Festival Concerto musicians, and also to have fun spending Competition: Jane Changkyung Park three weeks making music!

Small World – Wicked Webs • CHRIS ROBERTS Flowers are in full bloom, the air is hot and humid, and air conditioners everywhere hum 24/7. Yes, it can only mean one thing. It’s spider season. That time of year when I give up working in the garden until first frost. I did my best during spring and early summer, and now my flora must face the world alone. Even so, my nemeses will search me out and attempt to engage me in battle. I’ll awaken to webs strung across my doors, their makers huddled in corners, chuckling, no doubt, as they await my capture. There are few sensations more viscerally distressing than that of spiders’ silk alighting on skin. My Audubon field guide to insects and spiders has been taken off the shelf and now sits on my coffee table - the better to know my enemy. The photos alone can induce a gag reflex, but I am compelled to know what I’m up against. There I find my public enemy number one – the Wolf Spider. Audubon describes it as, “dark or with lengthwise dark and light stripes. Covered with long hair.” Its hobbies include, “basking in the sun, keeping warm and ready for quick pursuit of potential prey.” “Spiders don’t scare me,” you say? Then perhaps you don’t know these vampires of the insect world well enough. According to Audubon, “Below the eyes are 2 small jaws…that end in fangs. Venom is produced in glands and empties through a duct in the fangs…used to paralyze or kill prey.” Who of us hasn’t relaxed upon a sofa, a la Miss Muffet, when between the cushions emerges an arachnid heading toward, rather than away from us? Tell me you haven’t screamed in hysteria, even if you were alone and defenseless. And who among us doesn’t hesitate, before inserting his or hand in the mailbox. Here is my spider story. One morning, I awaken and stroll into the living room on a bright and warm summer’s day. In short order, I notice an insect on the ceiling. It is quite large, so I assume it is a cellar cricket. With that, I blithely grab a broom and swat it down. It lands on my sofa and disappears between the cushions. Tissue in hand, I pull up the cushion only to find myself face to face with the dreaded Wolf Spider. Only inches away, I am overwhelmed with the fight or flight instinct. Alone in the house, my will to survive takes control – for if I don’t kill it now, it will continue to threaten me in my own home and I may have to move. And so I slip my shoe off and pummel it over and over, until it is reduced to a medium-sized stain. Even so, I use half a dozen paper towels to scrape away its remains. That is the power this monster has over me. “What a coward,” you say? “Afraid of something thousands of times smaller than yourself,” you deride? Then I submit the following for your consideration. Sister-in-law Melissa sifts through papers stored in her basement. The light is dim. This part of the house is musty as it is rarely dusted - typical of most homes. Suddenly a searing pain is felt in her forearm just below the elbow. Melissa jumps back and inspects the area only to find a large circle of red. The pain is nearly unbearable to the point of causing her to gasp for air over and over again. She runs to the doctor who offers no explanation for her injury, and is sent home with instructions to take over the counter pain medication. That night, Melissa cannot sleep as the pain is unrelenting. The following day, she calls poison control. By now, the hot red welt has expanded, creating dare I say, spidery lines heading toward her hand. Poison control informs her that she may have a spider bite and calls her doctor with instructions for an antidote. After days of agony, the bite begins to heal. Ahead weeks later, Melissa returns to her basement to finish the document search that started her ill-fated adventure. There in the dim, she sees her – shiny black, large abdomen with a red hourglass tattooed to her underbelly – the black widow spider. Melissa runs for her bug spray, but the assassin is long gone by the time she returns – never to be found. So should you drive by my home and tsk that the bushes could use a good trimming, or that the garden needs weeding, perhaps you’ll stop and remember why I’ve ceased attending to my grounds. And Melissa, Audubon says that the black widow can survive up to three years. danielgale.com Oyster Bay, NY Locust Valley, NY Glen Cove, NY New to market.
