Callers posing as the utility company representatives, threaten to shut off electricity if a payment isn’t made on the same day. The scammers are demanding payments using money cards. The victim is told to purchase a money card at a convenience store or local pharmacy, and instructed to put cash on the card, or the gas and electricity service will be disconnected. The scammer then demand the pin number on the card. The police said a PSEG representative would not ask a customer to pay in a specific method of payment. The company also does not accept money cards. Also, a PSEG representative would have additional personal information about your account, which you could verify with the caller. If you think you are being scammed, hang up and call PSEGLI directly about your bill. Victims of this scam should report it to the Glen Cove Police Department. In another scam, Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice warned about a phone phishing scam by cybercriminals Car Crash in LV looking to get personal information with offers to help solve computer problems. The scam involves unsolicited telephone calls from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, and offering assistance with computers. Once cybercriminals have gained a victim’s trust, they can do one or more of the following: 1. Trick people into installing malicious software on their computer. 2. Take control of a victim’s computer remotely and adjust settings in order to leave the computer vulnerable. 3. Can request credit card information so that cybercriminals can bill for the phony service. Microsoft will not make unsolicited phone calls to help with a computer. If you receive a phone call like this, hang up. In Oyster Bay, there is a group of people posing as Oyster Bay athletes and supporters of the sports teams, claiming to sell candy for the teams. The scammers are holding papers with school logos on them. The papers also show official names of Mr. Kevin Trentowski, and Dr. Dennis O'Hara. The people doing this scam are not doing it on behalf of the schools or teams. The Nissan Murano was layingon it’s side. Last Thursday, at approximately 11:00 AM, a Porsche, Audi and Nissan were involved in an accident on Birch Hill Road and Buckram Road in Locust Valley. The Nissan overturned after hitting the Audi, sideswiping it, and then hit the Porsche’s front end lightly. LV fire crews had to pry open the door on the Nissan to rescue the driver. The streets are small and tight in the downtown area. It is hard to believe that people are driving so fast, that their car can overturn in such tight quarters. One person went to the hos- pital with minor injuries. In an eerily similar incident, an accident at Forest Avenue and Birch Hill Road happened on March 10, 2013. A Jeep Grand Cherokee overturned after striking another vehicle, and rescuers worked to free the driver. The driver was hospitalized. Brian Nolan, first assistant chief of the Locust Valley Fire Department, said his crew removed the front and rear passenger doors of the vehicle to free the driver. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured. Damage to the Audi was extensive.

Editor’s Note: The Leader’s Keepsake Graduation pull-out will in our July 2, 2014 edition. Page 4 The Leader June 11, 2014 EDITORIAL SOUTHERN SHAME This past week Arizona Governor Jan Brewer held a press conference to denounce the Obama administration for the cruel act of dumping children of illegal immigrants at bus stations in her state. This program was initiated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without any notice to Arizona officials who must now assume the responsibility to find shelter and care for these unfortunate children. Brewer, it will be remembered, has been critical of the President and his lack of enforcement of our immigration laws on our Southern border and has maintained her distance from Obama while visiting her state. Brewer wrote to the president, “I urge you to end this dangerous and unconscionable policy immediately and instead take actions to fulfill the federal government’s fundamental responsibility of protecting our homeland by securing our nation’s borders.” Brewer pointed out that the DHS has abandoned these children, some with mothers and others unaccompanied, at “bus stations without food, water or basic necessities.” Apparently, DHS has transported these children from Texas where they have entered the United States, where the Border Patrol has been apprehending them at a rate of 1000 immigrants a day. The president of the American Border Patrol stated that the Obama administration has been sending the wrong message to those thinking about entering the United States, since the Obama administration has expanded legal residence opportunities for undocumented youth which has played a major role in the increase in illegal border crossings. This truly unconscionable practice by our government has received little media attention but the use of children and their abuse as payback for a governor who has been critical of the Obama administration is both cruel and heartless. We ask, “Where is the national media whose exposure could help in ending this shameful practice?” The Publisher LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: We encourage our readers to express their view regardless of opinion, through the Letters to the Editor column.

CRUISE NIGHT To the Editor, : All of the residents around the vicinity of the “cruise night” car show in Oyster Bay, are getting sick and tired of the mess the people who visit the area leave. The participants who showcase these cars are very inconsiderate. When they leave at 9:00 PM, they rev up the cars and drag race up the streets. I have a small child who goes to bed at 7 PM and wakes up screaming because of the loud car that just flew up the street. There needs to be more police presence in the town when this show is on. Why can’t this show be held at the Theodore Roosevelt Park? If this situation doesn’t change, petitions will start going around. The police should be around to give out tickets to the drag racers. And people please clean up your mess when you leave town. Town Resident ation of a bio-diverse habitat supports the flourishing of fish in Oyster Bay, which leads to great fishing, healthy eating, and happy fisherman! Not sure who benefits to say otherwise… Sincerely, Captain Chris Cullen Island Current Fishing Fleet City Island, The Bronx THANK YOU To the Editor, I want to thank the members of our Community for their generous response to our recent Poppy distribution in anticipation of Memorial Day. The poppy is a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many. Disable veterans make the poppies.

FISHING IN OYSTER BAY Sincerely, Janice Deegan President, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 962, Locust Valley To the Editor, As a Captain and operator of four recreational fishing boats that fish for flounder and other fish in Oyster Bay, I have been asked about the claim that these fish no longer exist in Oyster Bay, or that somehow the operations of the Flower shellfish farmers have made them scarce. I understand that local newspapers have published this twisted tale, apparently without checking its veracity with people such as myself, who could have provided the truth if asked. I have been fishing this area for more than 30 years. My boats are based at City Island in The Bronx and trust me, I would not waste the money to take my boats that distance to Oyster Bay if I didn’t know with a great deal of certainty that my passengers would catch flounder, porgies, and fluke, each in its season. I can assure the non-fishing residents of the area that Flower’s shellfishing operation in Oyster Bay is not causing any negative effects on our fishing; as far as the recreational fishermen are concerned - they already know that. My 30-plus year’s experience has also shown me that the shellfish farmers’ cre- VETERANS BACKLOG REDUCTION ACT To the Editor, As your readers may know, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) has come under fire for delays with veterans’ benefits and care at their facilities. While I have already called for a criminal investigation into wrongdoing at the VA, I am writing to inform readers of my bill that would enact a common-sense solution to ensure veterans aren’t left waiting for claims. Currently, New York veterans wait an average of 297 days to receive disability compensation and benefits, a time table that falls far short of the 125-day goal the VA has set for filling these claims. This is unacceptable. That’s why I introduced the Veterans Backlog Reduction Act. This bill would give provisional benefits to veterans filing for disability if a claim hasn’t been processed within 125 days. The provisional benefit would be based on what a veteran with a similar disability receives or would be calculated based on a 40 percent disability rating. Put simply, this legislation would ensure no veteran filing a claim has to wait more than125 days for the benefits they’ve earned. To date, my office has recovered more than $7.4 million in back pay and owed benefits to my constituents by cutting through the red tape at the VA. If you, or a veteran you know, needs help with a VA benefits claim, please make my office your first resource. You can reach my office at (631) 7777391, (516) 505-1448 or (718) 875-1675. We are eager to help. Evan Lukaske ANIMAL WASTE To the Editor, Everyone on Long Island and in most shore towns in The United States have no doubt seen this sign or one like it: "NO ANIMALS ALLOWED.” Animal waste transmits disease pollutes our harbors and contaminates our drinking water." The goal of this signage is obvious; we don't want your dog defecating on the beach. There are other signs along the street that warn you about a fine if you do not pick up after your dog. I am amazed that some people heed this warning, then proceed to pick up the dog waste, tie it up in a plastic bag and shove it in the sewers along West Harbor Road in Bayville! What's the point? We're all worse off because of those few people. Not only are they reintroducing the feces back into the water system, they are clogging the sewers so that the next time it rains, water will be pooling around West Harbor Road long after the rains have stopped. I have two suggestions: stop throwing out your dog poop anywhere except in a garbage receptacle, preferably your own. The other is for Bayville Village to put out a few garbage cans on West Harbor Road so these lazy individuals have no reason to improperly dispose of dog waste. It's unfortunate that we need to cater to the hypocrites of Bayville, but I this case I'd say we will all win with better dog walking behaviors and improved sanitation around town.

Re-Landscaping Bayville Village Hall The Glen Cove Arts Council recently made it possible for ten girls from the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club to visit the K. DiResta Collective in Sea Cliff for an hour of fun making jewelry. Collective owner Kathleen DiResta, assisted by her friend and fellow artist Heidi Hunt, and her children Katherine and William, helped the girls, accompanied by GCBGC Arts Coordinator Sean O’Callaghan, to design their own bracelets and necklaces from the numerous varieties of beads displayed in trays for them to choose from. Each girl also made a pendant with her initials stamped into it. “I was so happy to have them” said Kathleen DiResta who really enjoyed working with the group, and was also grateful to the Glen Cove Arts Council for making the visit possible. GCAC is a non-profit organization that brings the arts to local youth through visits to museums, galleries and theater, and in addition offers scholarships in the arts to those with talent but without the financial means to pursue their dreams.

GROHMAN The Jakobson’s boatyard was a bevy of activity as cameramen snapped photographs of the soon to be launched boat. While many boats had been sent down the weighs of the facility in the heart of Oyster Bay, New York, the June 9th, 1962 ceremony was a first of its kind. The vessel, one hundred and four feet in length was one of the most advanced vessels in the world. Powered by a fourteen thousand horsepower engine, it was designed not to ply the surface of the waters of the seas but rather sail atop them on the retractable wing-like foils and after reaching a speed of twenty-six knots, she would alight from the friction of the water and zip across the water nearly five feet above the surface on her port and starboard mounted foils. The twin foils, along with her stern foil would allow for the boat to free herself from the confines of normal water travel and attain speeds in excess of nearly sixty knots. With her set of non-traditional sea legs set for testing, many remembered an earlier voyage completed on a much different surface the previous August when the H.S. Denison first set sail. Before the H.S. Denison could alight her way across the waters of the world, she first had to be designed and built. In 1957, Colonel Charles R. Denison of the Maritime Administration authorized a seventy-five thousand dollar study to determine the feasibility of utilizing hydrofoil technology for commercial use. Grumman engineers were confident that the technology was available or could be developed. An agreement was reached in 1958 that provided one and a half million dollars with subsequent costs to be incurred by private industry. Though hydrofoil technology had been successfully proven, building an ocean-going commercial hydrofoil remained an unknown entity. By July of 1961 the hydrofoil, built to the specifica- tions and requirements of the MARAD, had been accomplished. Though Grumman engineers and craftsmen had completed the building of the massive boat, she remained untested. On August 1, 1961, nearly a year and a half of preparation was set to the test as the novel boat was laid upon a flatbed truck. Hauling the twenty-four tons of hull and her fifteen ton cradle was no easy undertaking. The trip across Long Island, from Bethpage to the lapping waters of Oyster Bay Harbor, was only twelve miles in length but it would not be an easy voyage. Even though her superstructure had been removed, the H.S. Denison still stood nearly seventeen feet off of the ground. The route for the overland trip was carefully studied. For sixteen months leading up to the travel date, the United States Trucking Corporation worked with county and state agencies to ensure that power lines, traffic signals, and other overhead contrivances were fixed, repaired, or altered, to allow for vertical clearance. Railroad schedules were determined, bumps in roads were repaired, and the proper escorts and permits were attained. For a boat designed to sail atop the waves at breakneck speeds, her first trip would be painstakingly slow. The convoy set out before dawn and after nearly nine and a half hours and after moving no more than a mile and a half each hour, the boat carefully completed the trip. Though her first voyage had not been lightning fast it had proven successful. She was finally launched into the waters of Oyster Bay Harbor in June of 1962. Once tests were completed, a commercial shipping company would be utilized to test the boat under normal conditions in ferrying both passengers and cargo. With the ability to ferry between seventy and eighty passengers at high speeds, the future of hydrofoil technology appeared as if the sky was the limit. In late June of 1962, a few weeks after her historic overland voyage, the H.S. Denison, fully equipped with her foils and power plant, leapt nearly clear from the surface of the waters of the Long Island Sound. During her first few runs, she reached nearly fifty knots. Manning the helm was Captain William P.O. Clarke, Jr. Piloting the craft, alongside his crew of four, was an interesting experience. “The motion sensation at 60 knots in the Denison,” Captain Clarke explained in an interview was “similar to that of riding the Lexington Avenue subway on a long express run…speed with quick little rocking movements from side to side.” The test crew, housed in the boat’s aircraft styled pilot house, communicated by headsets as they “flashed” atop the water. Working as a team, the crew was confident in their ability to address all of the normal issues that arose while crisscrossing a busy waterway including, if the situation arose, with how to handle a foil being sheered off by “striking a reef or heavy flotsam,” or if an “extreme roll or pitch” caused the H.S. Denison to lose altitude. Reaction to different type of sea conditions, as Captain Clarke noted, was just one of the many tests required before the boat would be transferred for commercial use. Testing would continue until August 30, 1963 when she was finally accepted by the Secretary of Commerce, Luther H. Hodges, on behalf of the United States Government. Though her final cost towered at over ninemillion dollars Hodges confidently claimed on the grounds of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, that the event marked the “beginning of a new industry in the United States.” The H.S. Denison soon found herself the toast of the maritime industry as she completed a tour of various seaside locations along the eastern seaboard during the fall of 1963. Though Grace Lines had already been H.S. Denison selected for commercial use, the plan was scrapped due to the estimated cost of outfitting the boat for passengers and cargo. By the following year the hydrofoil was turned over to the United States Navy where she was utilized as a training platform for a possible new era of above the waves sailors and in 1965, she was in the waters off of Point Mugu at the Pacific Missile Range. Despite her success, her future as a commercial hydrofoil had already passed. The H.S. Denison, and those craft that followed in her wake, proved the successful design of those men, like the craft’s namesake, believed could be built and flown above the surface of the sea. Like other projects in the late nineteen fifties and midsixties including the nuclear ship N.S. Savannah, the H.S. Denison and her design may have proven herself too costly and too fast for commercial utilization. Though the H.S. Denison’s voyages along the waters of the Long Island Sound marked an historic first of its kind, her initial voyage from Bethpage to Oyster Bay, well before her wing-like foils had even been attached, marked an interesting historic entry into the annals of the New York maritime record. In the diametrically different voyages, one excruciatingly slow and the other lightning fast, the H.S. Denison, a revolutionary vessel of ingenuity and design, had made history like few other vessels could ever take credit, not only on land on Long Island but also both above and on the waters of the Long Island Sound. Page 8 The Leader June 11, 2014 Origin of Father’s Day Sonora Dodd • BY ADAM GROHMAN Father’s Day, celebrated on June 15th, 2014, marks the annual celebration of fathers and their paternal nurturing and guidance. While several theories abound to the origins of the annual celebration, Ms. Sonora Dodd, daughter of Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, developed the idea after attending a Mother’s Day celebration in 1909. Her father single-handedly raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters after their mother died during childbirth and his continued efforts remained an integral part of her understanding and appreciation for his work. Mrs. Dodd wanted to ensure that his efforts and the efforts of fathers everywhere were celebrated as equals throughout the land. Though the principle seemed warranted and just, establishing the annual celebration as a national observance was a several decade crusade. In her hometown of Spokane, she readily gained support from the Spokane Ministerial Association and the local chapter of the Young Men’s Christian Association. According to the Spokane Chronicle on June 6, 1910, the official petition listed “The beautiful custom of Mother’s Day suggests the question,. “Why not a Fathers’ Day?” The petition continued stating that “a Fathers’ Day would call attention to such constructive teachings from the pulpit as would naturally point out…” including “the father’s place in the home…the training of children, the safeguarding of the marriage tie,” and “the protection of womanhood and childhood.” As noted in the petition, “the meaning of this, whether in the light of religion or of patriotism, is so apparent as to need no argument in behalf of such a day.” Though Sonora wanted to honor her father’s birthday of June 5th, organizers relented to celebrating the event on the third Sunday of June. Three weeks after the petition was issued, the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910. Though successful, the idea of having an annual celebration was hampered by many who believed that such an event was unnecessary and only a ploy for expanded commercialism. Despite the naysayers, Sonora trudged on with her campaign to ensure that fathers everywhere were provided their own special day. With each passing year, additional cities across the United States began to celebrate the occasion and by 1916, President Woodrow Wilson offered his support by attending the annual Spokane tradition. President Calvin Coolidge also heralded the idea but it would not be until President Lyndon B. Johnson offered a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday every June as Father’s Day did the idea finally take hold. Six years later President Richard M. Nixon finally established the observance of Father’s Day by proclamation and the day has been celebrated ever since.

The event titled, Founding Friends: For the Love of Raynham Hall, and is the title of the exhibit celebrating the founders who had been instrumental in restoring the saltbox house, once the home of Samuel Townsend, and full of history of Oyster Bay and the center of the Culper Spy Ring. The invitation used an old photograph of Mrs Miner Clifford Hill in a rose garden. Beginning in 1950, Mrs Hill, formerly Carolyn Mathers Pettuga, was the driving force behind the creation of the Alex Sutherland, Harriet Gerard Clark and Rebecca Finnelli Friends of Raynham Hall, leading her friends to help restore and furnish the landmarked house and to open it to the public. Guests sipped wine, southsides and other mixed drinks and nibbled on delicious hors d’oeuvres by Periwinkles of Oyster Bay. Each table under the tent was adorned with a vase of beautiful fresh flowers. Alex Sutherland, Director of Public Relations, welcomed guests and thanked them for their support. Inside the house the exhibit showed photographs through the years of the evolution of Raynham Hall, including photos of some of the people present at the party. The house is owned by the Town of Patricia Sands and Anne Nolte Oyster Bay and Friends of Raynham Hall operate it as a museum. The style of the building had been changed from the original saltbox design to a more Victorian style in the 1880s and then back to its original Colonial style in the 1950s. A capital campaign is under way to restore the museum building, reopen the slaves’, servants’, and children’s quarters and to restore the Lincoln Market building as an education center for the museum. In 1991 Raynham Hall Museum was awarded accreditation by the American Association of Museums, and is the only historic house museum on Long island to achieve that honor. Raynham Hall Museum is located at 20, West Main Street in Oyster Bay. For further information call 516 922-6808 or visit raynhamhallmuseum.org.

Locust Valley Office | 71 Forest Ave | 516.759.0400 Page 10 The Leader June 11, 2014 Flag Day Flag Day is on Saturday, June 14, and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto asks residents to show their patriotism by celebrating Old Glory and properly displaying the U.S. Flag. “The Stars and Stripes has been a symbol of the triumphs, resiliency and courage of the United States of America, its citizens and those who serve in the Armed Forces defending this great nation,” said Supervisor Venditto. “It is quite fitting that we have a special day of observance honoring the flag that many have sacrificed their lives defending.” Flag Day occurs during a particularly patriotic time of the year, between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, and while Flag Day is not a federal holiday, Supervisor Venditto said it is a special and important American day of celebration. A history buff, Supervisor Venditto noted that the raising of the American flag has often occurred during many iconic events in American history. He continued that the American flag being planted on the moon’s surface by Apollo astronauts, and soldiers raising the flag during the Battle of Iwo Jima, are just two of many such moments. The Supervisor added that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write a poem, which later became known as “The Star Spangled Banner,” after seeing that the flag was still flying over Fort McHenry following a British attack during the War of 1812. The Supervisor compares that event to a more recent event. “After the horrifying attack on the World Trade Center, many of us took inspiration that even amidst the devastation at Ground Zero, the brave firefighters proudly raised the Stars and Stripes.” said the Supervisor. OB Garden Tour Old Glory When displaying the American flags, the Supervisor reminds everyone to follow protocols, such as not allowing the flag to touch the ground or anything beneath it, not flying the flag in inclement weather, and illuminating the flag when it is flown at night. Flags that are worn and in a condition that’s not worthy of being used as a symbol of the United States should be destroyed in a dignified manner. Supervisor Venditto suggests bringing such flags to a local American Legion or Veterans of Foreign War post, where such flags are destroyed in a proper manner. The Supervisor also advises residents to contact a local America Legion or Veterans of Foreign War Post for more information on U.S. flag etiquette, or visit the Town’s website at www.oysterbaytown.com to download a flag etiquette brochure. “Let us take part in Flag Day activities, to show respect for the symbol of our great nation – a land we are very fortunate to call our home,” said Supervisor Venditto. “I look forward to seeing the American flag proudly displayed throughout the Town on Flag Day.” One of the magnificent formal gardens at Planting Fields Arboretum The Gold Coast of Long Island’s North Shore springs forth once again as the Oyster Bay Main Street Association presents its Third Annual Garden Tour.

Conger Goodyear house in Old Westbury for $3.4 million. Now Mr. Rosen is back in the Long Island news, garnering headlines in media outlets such as the New York Times, Daily News and Newsday concerning his intention to place a 33-foot high “painted bronze sculpture of a beyond naked woman with an exposed fetus” on his property. On Tuesday, June 3, village mayor Fred Carillo was quoted in the New York Times as saying “it (the statue) is out of character with the neighborhood” and suggested that perhaps the edifice would be better placed outside a building devoted to obstetrics and gynecology. The Times also reported that this story has gained coverage in places as far away as Romania. The Damien Hirst statue, weighing in at 13-tons, is currently in position on Mr. Rosen’s property. It is covered with a tarp as Old Westbury officials debate its fate. Representatives for Mr. Rosen were apparently testifying in front of Old Westbury board officials on Monday, June 2. Among Old Westbury villagers, discussion about the questionable statue has purportedly been respectful and perhaps that is because it is only visible from Mr. Rosen’s private road, which leads to his home as well as just a handful of others. The news has reported that a school bus also travels the lane. Mr. Rosen has acquiesced to the requests of the village board and has agreed to maintain planting and hedges to shield it from public view as well as turn the statue so the more “graphic” side is not facing the road. According to Realtor.com, Mr. Rosen’s home was built in 1938 by Edward Durell Stone and later owned by Mr. Goodyear, who was a founder and the first president of the Museum of Modern Art. It has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and is situated on 5.52 acres.
