When driving the country roads on the
North Shore of Long Island, or as many
refer to this area as the “Gold Coast,” one
will catch a glimpse of a striking flash of
red go by, or a beautiful couple strolling
the sunny day in their show car. But there
are many of us who can’t buy, but we can
look. The best thing about an auto show
is the chance to gawk at the cars most
people can’t afford to buy.
When one thinks of cars and luxury
and speed - Ferrari comes to mind. On
Sunday, the Locust Valley Chamber of
Commerce held their first annual car
show in partnership with FerrariMaserati of Long Island. Many cars
started their engines and drove to the
North Shore of Long Island to display
their pride and joy.
Sunday afternoon was a beautiful day
in the village and if one passed the center
of town from 4:00 - 6:00 pm they would
have seen the hamlet transformed into a
elegant festival with black and white racing flags, and many people. The car show
event was coordinated by FerrariMaserati of Long Island, coordinator
Laura Fisher-Petrocelli, and LV Chamber
of Commerce Project Coordinator Greg
Lanza, with the help of the board of
directors: Len Margolis, Kaye Weninger,
Anna Villilla, Carol Cotton, Asgeir
Asgeirsson and Allison O’Rourke.
Approximately 34 cars were parked in
the parking lots on Elm Street, next to the
train station in Locust Valley. They were
so beautifully displayed, it mesmerized
the people who came to catch a glance,
close-up, of these exotic cars.
In conjunction with the luxury auto
show, the LV Chamber held a food and
wine tasting. The attendance was well
over 150 people. The entrance fee was
$20 and the monies will be split: 50%
will be given as a donation to the Don
Monti Cancer Foundation, in the name of
Ferrari-Masareti of Long Island, and 50%
will be used for the Christmas
Beautification Fund in Locust Valley.
The LV Chamber had 8 fabulous tastings from vendors on the North Shore
which included our own local eateriesMeridian, The Brass Rail, The Basil Leaf,
the Locust Valley Market, Jeff Lawton
As the sun started to set and cars were
leaving the village, you could hear the
engines and see them drift into the distance and think: We see them in the
movies and dream: FERRARI 458 SPECIALE: Should you need to accelerate to
62 miles per hour in 3 seconds flat, and
go twice as fast again in another 6.1 seconds, this is your car. Top speed is above
202 mph. With its dipped hood, the 458
Speciale is slighter and less muscularlooking than the typical Ferrari. The
price in Italy starts at $315,000. It was a
nice daydream and a beautiful way to
spend the afternoon in Locust Valley.
Music was sponsored by Daniel
Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.

Suozzi Wins
Helene and Tom Suozzi
On Tuesday, September 10, Nassau
County Executive Candidate Tom Suozzi
held a Primary Watch Party at the Polish
National Home in Glen Cove, where he
joined supporters as they waited for the
results of that night’s Primary Election.
Suozzi celebrated his 59% victory to
become the Democratic Candidate in the
County Executive race surrounded by
well-wishers, fellow candidates and most
importantly – his wife Helene.

City of Glen Cove and NS‑LIJ Freon Litigation
Mark Solazzo, COO of the North
Shore-LIJ Hospital, confirmed to Glen
Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi that the proposed services’ cutbacks at Glen Cove
Hospital are completely unrelated to the
pending litigation. There is absolutely no
basis in fact to support the unfounded
speculation of any connection between
these two unrelated matters. “Our plans
have been established solely on the basis
of ensuring the hospital’s viability into
the future. Our planning is in no way
related to the City’s Freon litigation,”
stated Solazzo.
Mayor Suozzi explained the City had
no choice but to commence the suit
against those who polluted the City’s
water. Indeed, said the Mayor, “The City
Council tried to avoid litigation but ultimately we had no choice. The choice was
either the citizens pay or the polluters
pay. We chose to go after the polluters.
Suozzi said, ”Anyone who thinks that
NS-LIJ would even considering closing a
hospital on the basis of a year-old lawsuit
that protects human health and safety and
our City assets, is misguided.”
In September 2009, testing revealed
the presence of a toxic chemical called
Chlorodifluoromethane in the groundwater pumped from the City’s “Seaman
Road Well.” Chlorodifluoromethane (R22,” sometimes referred to as Freon-22)
is a liquefied gas used in refrigeration and
air conditioning systems. Due to its deleterious effects on the ozone layer, this
man-made chemical compound is being
phased out world-wide, by signatories to
the Montreal protocol, including the U.S.
From September 2009-February 2010,
monthly water testing revealed the level
of Freon in the City’s water from the
Seaman Road Well was steadily increasing. Fortunately, the city was able to utilize a pre-existing Granulated Activated
Carbon filter to prevent the Freon from
reaching its water customers. On March
8, 2010, however, Freon levels in the
City’s water supply surpassed the NY
State and Nassau County Department of
Health’s Maximum contaminant Level.
According to the Nassau County
Department of Health policy, a well must
be shut down when the contaminant level
is too high. The City of Glen Cove complied with the requirements to protect its
residents, and the Seaman Road Well has
been off-line ever since. The NCDOH
refused to permit even emergency use of
the well, (i.e. in case of fire).
The City Council retained, on a contingency basis, Napoli, Bern, Ripka,
Shkolnik & Associates, LLP, a New York
City based law firm. The decision was
that the firm previously recovered over
$1 million for the City arising from contamination of its groundwater by the
gasoline additive, methyl-tertiary butyl
ether. The firm and the City repeatedly
attempted to open a dialogue with NSLIJ, which referred all communication to
outside counsel. Glen Cove City’s hand
was forced due to an approaching statute
of limitations, so the City commenced litigation. Napoli, NBRSA’s Managing
Partner, said,” It is an unfortunate coincidence. The downsizing of the hospital has
nothing to do with the lawsuit. Insurance
should cover any verdict or settlement of
the City’s claims.”
In October 2012, NS-LIJ discontinued
use of the system and installed a new well
that does not use Freon.

EDITORIAL
RUSSIAN BEAR
Over the course of this past
week we have witnessed the
Russian bear, in the form of
Russian President Vladimir Putin,
emerge from international hibernation and, once again assert itself on
the world stage. With dramatic last
minute negotiations he was able to
start a dialogue that was thrown
away as impossible, in a speech
delivered earlier by Secretary of
State John Kerry. Putin proved the
impossible was possible, much to
the embarrassment but relief of
those hunkered down at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue with their
schizophrenic view of possible
American military and diplomatic
initiatives.
Both President Obama and
Secretary Kerry were quick to grab
the lifeline thrown by Putin, and
disingenuously sought to attribute
the diplomatic option to President
Obama’s threat to use military
force against Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad forces in the field.
The fact of the matter is that
Obama’s use of force was highly
unlikely due to his paramount concern over retaliation by Syria and
Iran against our allies in the region,
as well as our being dragged into
another Middle Eastern war.
The one positive factor that has
emerged to date is the acknowledgement by Assad that his administration does possess weapons of
mass destruction. However, the
enforcement of the dismantling
and punishment for failure to do so
has now been kicked over to the
United Nations, where endless discussions and committees will, in
the end, refer the matter to the
Security Council, should enforcement be necessary. As we are all
aware, Russia and China have the
power to veto any resolution calling for United Nations military
action against Syria, so this issue,
along with Benghazi and Fast and
Furious, will find itself without a
sponsor to die on the vine of political inaction and citizen disinterest.
What else is new in the Age of
Obama?

troops and their families, we cannot thank
you enough. Because of your support, the
Locust Valley FD Operation Wounded
Warrior has raised a total of just over
$150,000 altogether over the past 5 years.
This has in turn both helped to ease the
burdens of and bring smiles to hundreds
of injured veterans and their families,
locally and afar.
However, due to circumstances out of
our control, we, the committee, regret to
inform you that we are unable to hold our
annual pasta dinner fundraiser this year.
We do hope and expect to resume

many of you at the Hope for the Warriors
run in November.
Sincerely LVFD OWW
Co-Chairs and Committee members.
AMERICAN LEGION
To the Editor:
I’m living the good life in Florida, but
Bayville will always be home. With that
said, how will Bayville people explain to
our sons and daughters returning from
military service for our country, that
while they were gone, there is no longer
an American Legion Post due to some
greedy neighbors. That building has a lot
of history and memories you may not
know. For one, the returning Bayville veterans built that building, led by Flatty
Alfano, if you had a skill you helped. I
remembered even on Sundays the boys
were there laying bricks. I hope the
neighbors who live very large, overlooking L.I. Sound come to their senses and
realize how good they have it.
With Mayor Siegel and the old Guard
gone, things probably will never be the
same, and that’s very disappointing
indeed.

To the Editor:
Throughout Long Island many communities are actively working to restore
their downtowns. The goal of this revitalization is to improve the livability and
quality of life in the community by
expanding and attracting employment,
shopping and social activities.
Revitalization improves the image of
the downtown, offers residents a real sense
of place, encourages historic preservation
and provides more retail options, services
and employment opportunities. This in
turn will serve to prevent blight and abandonment, increase safety in our community, grow our tax base and help our community become more financially stable.
Revitalization is a long-term plan of action
that would tap into tourism, refine and
expand our cultural base and promote the
downtown as a destination location.
Glen Cove is fortunate to have an IDA
(Industrial Development Agency) and a
CDA (Community Development Agency),
both of which by definition are charged
with the responsibility to foster revitalization in our community. As a former member of the Glen Cove IDA, I had a firsthand look at what its priorities have been:
to court the developers of high-density residential projects throughout our city, leaving little effort or “political will” to concentrate on our downtown, thereby ignoring small businesses. This practice has
been going on for decades to the detriment
of our downtown. The IDA and CDA, if
utilized properly, can be valuable tools to
both small and big business.
Let’s not forget what our downtown
once was - a thriving hub that brought people in from surrounding communities to
shop and spend time socializing. Affluent
communities surround our city. If the
downtown were again the vibrant center it
once was, it would attract people from
those communities; the city could again be
the hub of commerce, culture and socialization it once was.
Glen Cove has much innovation and
intellect to draw upon. If other townships
on Long Island can restore their downtown centers, there is no reason we can’t.
We deserve no less.

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

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

the many fabulous cars which lined School Street and
Glen Street in Glen Cove on a recent sunny and warm
afternoon. The 4th Annual Gold Coast
Concours/Bimmerstiock event is presented by Martino
Auto Concepts/Mac Auto Couture, to benefit the

Legend of Sleepy Hollow Tour
Oyster Bay Historical Society and
Koenig Center are having an exciting
tour. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
began almost 200 years ago, when
Washington Irving wrote about the beautiful valley straddling the shores of the
Hudson River, just thirty miles north of
New York City. The bus trip will afford
the opportunity to view panoramic and
scenic vista of the Hudson River, the
Palisades, and the Tappan Zee Bridge.
The first stop will be Philipsburg
Manor, which was a thriving farming,
milling, and trading center during the late
17th and early 18th centuries. A short distance from Philipsburg Manor is the 1609
Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, as
well as the Old Dutch Burying Ground,
where Ichabod Crane hid from the
Headless Horseman. The next stop will
be a guided tour of Union Church, which
boasts stained glass windows by both
Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall.
There will be a break for lunch at
Bridge View Tavern, before our tour of
Sunnyside, the home of Washington
Irving.
Transportation: The tour bus leaves at
8:30 A.M. from the CW Post campus of

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

Glen Cove’s 9/11 Anniversary
Dedication and
Commemorations Ceremony
• VICTORIA CROSBY
The 12th anniversary of 9/11 was
commemorated with a special ceremony.
Two years ago Phyllis Gorham,
Executive Director of the Glen Cove
Chamber of Commerce, was able to
obtain a piece of a beam from one of the
World Trade Center towers . She asked
Tony Tripp, who was at the time the
Chief of Glen Cove Fire Department, if
it could be placed on the property adjacent to the firehouse; then asked Tom
Molloy of Glen Head to create a sculpture for the beam; and Maggie and Hugh
Tanchuck of North Shore Monuments in
Glen Head, to donate a base for the art
work.
A ceremony was held on Wednesday,
September 11, in Pratt Park, next to the
firehouse, where the sculpture was
unveiled. Phyllis Gorham introduced
Tony Tripp, who acted as Master of
Ceremonies.
As Gen Cove’s Poet Laureate, I read
A Tribute to Heroes, which had been
originally written in 2002, with an extra
verse in tribute to those who helped
make the dedication of the memorial
possible.
Rev Betsy Simpson, of the First
Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove, gave
a Prayer for the Heroes, followed by a
moment of silence,then Taps was played
by Michael Mienko of the GCVFD.
Robert Lynch played Amazing Grace
on the bagpipes, and Rev Roger
Williams of the First Baptist Church of
Glen Cove, closed the solemn ceremony
with a prayer.
The monument has the following
inscription: “Remembering those who
lost their lives September 11, 2001,
Dedicated to our firefighters who protect
us everyday.”

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

Oyster Bay Blue Fish
Tournament
If hours of fishing, followed by a tailgate party with hot dogs, beverages,
snacks, raffles, awards and prizes, sounds
like a perfect day to you, then you would
have enjoyed the 27th Annual Town of
Oyster Bay Bluefish Tournament, which
was held on Sunday, September 15th.
The tournament ran from 4:15 a.m. to 4
p.m., and was open to anglers of all ages
and was limited to the first 350 boats. The
tournament, sponsored by the town’s
department of parks and Oyster Bay
Marine Supply, automatically entered all
registrants in a special raffle, with great
prizes which included Mercury inflatable
boats and Mercury outboards, rods, reels,
ice chests, water skis, dinners for two and
more.
Along with plaques, the winners of first
through 10th places, received gift certificates in the following amounts: first place $2,000; second place - $1,000; third place $750; fourth place - $600; fifth and sixth
places - $500; seventh and eighth places $400; ninth and 10th places - $300. The

Support Our Troops Fundraising Dinner
held in Massapequa Park. The proceeds
from the dinner are used to support
Adopt-A-Battalion’s mission of sending
care packages to United States troops
serving in Afghanistan, as well as
patients in the Northport Veterans
Administration Hospital. The funds will
also be used to support new initiatives
that Adopt-A-Battalion will be launching
next year to support those who have
returned home after serving in
Afghanistan or Iraq. Patricia (3rd from
right) and Jack Parker (2nd from right)
founded Adopt-A-Battalion after receiving a letter from their son, Tim, a Major
in the United States Marines, who was
serving in Iraq. In the letter, he wrote
about how troops serving in Iraq were not
receiving cards or letters from home and,
while serving in the desert, could not get
to a store to purchase basic supplies, such
as personal hygiene products, which citizens in the United States take for granted.
Since that time, Adopt-A-Battalion has
been sending troops care packages with
items such as toothpaste, granola bars,
coffee singles, and cards and letters of
support. Also pictured (center) is AdoptA-Battalion Vice-President Richard

Following the Sea Faire event this summer, the ferry dock at Garvies Point was
recently visited by Seastreak, a large catamaran which had been chartered for a special corporate event.
“Having a company like Seastreak
offering a chartered service from Glen
Cove's waterfront is a testament to the
decade-long revitalization efforts that have
taken place along beautiful Hempstead
Harbor,” Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi
said. “By welcoming NY Waterways this
summer, and now Seastreak, we are able to
show off our magnificent new maritime
facilities to two of the region’s leading ferry
companies.”
The inside of the vessel was comfortable
with air conditioning and roomy seating, as
well as a bar serving snacks and drinks. As
the Seastreak left, it was quiet which is
important for the surrounding area restaurants and other boaters.
“Introducing Seastreak’s chartered services to the City of Glen Cove is another way
that we are inviting residents and the surrounding communities back to the waterfront to enjoy all that it has to offer. Our
team, the city and the city’s partners at the
county, state and federal level are proud to
restore access to this rare stretch of coastline,” said Scott Rechler, chairman and
CEO of RXR Realty, the developer of the
52-acre Garvies Point site.
“We are delighted to be here,” said
Seastreak President James Barker. “We
welcome the opportunity to show the community that our season is still under way
through the fall, and to show off one of our

beautiful vessels. Our connection with
RXR as well as the City of Glen Cove is
very meaningful to Seastreak, and we take
pride in the world-class service we provide.”
Seastreak vessels are available for private charter for corporate meetings, holiday
parties, fundraising events and other special occasions. Options include traveling
through Lower Manhattan Harbor to such
sites as the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s
Island, the South Street Seaport, Martha's
Vineyard and Nantucket, as well as
Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos,
Nantucket Island, Block Island, Atlantic
City, and either of New York ‘s baseball
stadiums.

Celebrating the Sassanese
of Glen Cove
A day has been declared in honor of
“Sister Cities” and emigrants in Glen
Cove. A flag of the Comune of Sassano
will fly each year on, August 17th, the
Annual Emigrants’ Day. Mayor Ralph
Suozzi was joined by members of the
Club of Sassanese of America, to celebrate the people of Sassano who have
made Glen Cove their home. The
Sassanese have kept traditions of their
native town with a commemoration of
the celebration of St. John the Baptist
and St. Rocco, the most important religious holidays of Sassano. Sassano is
80 miles SE of Naples. Historians and
archaeologists swarm the site of Magna
Grecia and ancient Lucania. The origins
of Sassano are traced to 1000 and 1400
A.D. The many churches, art treasures,
and fountains are Medieval. There is evi-
dence of Byzantine Greek monastic presence, as there was a sacred building used
by Byzantine monks, in the 13th century,
dedicated to St Zacharias. The Valley of
Orchids is in Sassano. There is an astonishing array of 184 species of the Orchid
family. The display covers an area of
about 18 square miles, and bloom from
April to June. The Valley of Orchids is a
great source of pride for the community,
and, in May, the traditional Festival of
the Orchids is held. It is very convenient
and easy to get to Sassano. The population is about 5000. In recognition of the
special bond between Glen Cove and
Sassano, the City of Glen Cove passed a
resolution on July 24, 2012, at a City
Council Meeting, declaring an Annual
Emigrant’s Day.

OBEN Schools Welcome New Faculty and Staff
It is always with great excitement and
anticipation that the Oyster Bay-East
Norwich School District welcomes and
embraces new members to the staff. Each
new person offers new visions and enthusiasm on becoming a part of the proud
tradition of educational excellence that
has become the standard in Oyster Bay.
The Math Department at OBHS welcomes Ms. Lauren DeClemente. Ms.
DeClemente studied at Hofstra
University, where she earned a Bachelor
of Arts in Mathematics and Mathematics
Education. She continued her education
at Molloy College, where she received a
Master of Science degree in Adolescence
Education – Mathematics 7-12. Ms.
DeClemente comes to Oyster Bay from
Baldwin Senior High School, where she
taught for five years. She began her
teaching career at Hicksville High
School.
The Fine and Performing Arts
Department had the difficult task of
replacing two extraordinary teaching
“legends” of the OBEN community. Mr.
Robert Stern’s position was filled by Ms.
Meagan Finnerty, who will be teaching
music to the students at the Theodore
Roosevelt Elementary School.
Ms. Finnerty holds a Bachelor’s
Degree in Music Education, with a minor
in Special Education from Penn State
University. She is currently attending
Hunter College for a Master’s in Piano
Performance. Ms. Finnerty has worked in
the Massapequa School District, Miller
Place School District, Port Jefferson
School District and Sachem School
District. She is originally from Medford,
New York and is currently residing in
Holbrook.
Mr. Stephen Walker retired in June,
leaving a huge void to be filled in the
OBHS music program. Mr. Michael
Giannetta has been invited to Oyster Bay
High School to teach 7 and 8 Grade
Band. Mr. Giannetta did his undergraduate study at the prestigious Crane School
of Music at SUNY Potsdam, where he
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Music Education. He holds Master’s
degrees in Trumpet Performance from
SUNY Stony Brook, and Conducting
from Southern Oregon University’s
American Band College.
Previously, Mr. Giannetta has taught
Elementary Band for the Commack
Public Schools, and District-Wide Band
for both the Hewlett-Woodmere Public
Schools, and the East Northport School
District. He is originally from Malverne,
where he attended Valley Stream North
High School. Mr. Giannetta currently
lives in Mineola.
Sometimes finding a new teacher is
easy when they are already working in
the District. For the past three years, Ms.
Colleen Kelly was working at Vernon as
a teaching assistant. This year, she returns
to Vernon to teach a self-contained classroom for Grades 3 and 5.
Ms. Kelly attended Mount Saint Mary
College and earned certification in
Childhood Education 1-6, for children
with disabilities. She is currently attending C.W. Post for her Master’s Degree in
Special Education, with a concentration
in Autism. Ms. Kelly is originally from
East Rockaway and is still living there.
The Science Department for the
District has a new face in the front office.
Ms. Janna Ostroff was hired last spring,
and worked closely with Dr. Root for a
smooth transition. Although her office is
in the high school, Ms. Ostroff will be
working throughout the district in her
position as K-12 Director of Science and
Technology for Instruction.
Ms. Ostroff earned the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in both Chemistry and
Education from Colgate University. She
also holds a Master of Science in
Geochemistry, from the University of
Oxford, and a Master of Science in
Comparative and International Education
from the University of Oxford.
Additionally, she attended Hunter
College
in
the
Educational
Administration
and
Supervision
Program.
Another long-time teacher, Ms.
Rosemary Crawford, retired last June and
left the English Department with the difficult task of finding a replacement.
Ms. Nicole Schwartz was enthusiastically chosen to fit the bill. She will be
teaching 7th grade Literacy Connections;
11th grade AIS; 10th grade Honors; and
10th grade Regents classes. Ms. Schwartz
attended SUNY Geneseo, where she
earned a Bachelor’s Degree in English
and Secondary Education. She then went
on to SUNY Stony Brook, where she
received a Master’s Degree in Liberal
Studies.
Parents have been expressing their
concerns at Board of Education meetings
about the need for more help to handle
the heavy work load in the high school
Counseling Center. The District has
responded by bringing Ms. Debra Strell
on board, to serve as the Supervisor of
Counseling Services.
Ms. Strell attended Hunter College
where she earned a Bachelor of the Arts
degree. She then went on to Fordham
University, where she achieved a
Master’s in Business Administration.
She also holds a Master’s in School
Counseling from Long Island University
at the CW Post campus and, a Certificate
in Educational Administration from
Queens College. Before coming to
Oyster Bay, Ms. Strell worked for the
West Hempstead School District as the
Director of Guidance, and before that, as
a Guidance Counselor at Lindenhurst
High School.

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

Assemblyman Lavine
Seeks Support for
Alzheimer’s Research
Assemblyman Lavine (D-Glen Cove)
has filed a bill (A08140) that would ask
New Yorkers to support a one billion
bond to fund Alzheimer’s research. State
residents would have an opportunity to
vote on the initiative in the general election in November 2014.
The Alzheimer’s Research Bond Act
of 2014 would fund scientific research of
Alzheimer’s disease, including tracking
its causes, treatment and clinical trials of
medication.
By issuing taxpayers
approved bonds for Alzheimer’s
research, the state of New York can leverage new revenues, to provide research
grants and other financing to collaborations of New York institutions while also
Obituaries
creating jobs and leading the effort to
find a cure.
Assembly Lavine unveiled his proposal to seek $1 billion in funding for
Alzheimer’s at a press conference in June
with Congressman Steve Israel at the
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Congressman Israel said, “With the cost
of Alzheimer’s to our country expected to
skyrocket, researching the disease is not
just a matter of compassion for a cure, it
is a public policy imperative. I look forward to Assemblyman Lavine’s legislations’ passage and signature into law.”
It is estimated that 300,000 plus New
York State residents have Alzheimer’s,
dementia, and other related diseases.
