Gold Coast Mansion’s
Sewer Pipe Capped
The State Department of Environmental
Conservation issued violations to Marvin
Schein a month ago, for sewage leakage from
his Gold Coast mansion. Schein could still
face legal action, said officials from the
Nassau County Department of Health, even
though the sewage pipe has been sealed with
concrete. The sewage discharge went into the
wetlands next to Crescent Beach in Glen
Cove.
Schein has been fined $15,000 by DEC,
and has not modified, revoked, or withdrawn
the fine. Health department officials have said
the pipe was a public health hazard and that
Schein knew about the problem since at least,
2011. Engineers hired by the City of Glen
Cove found the pipe leaking last month.
Crescent Beach has been closed to the public
since 2009, because of contamination. Any
waste water from a residential cesspool, being
discharged into a wetland, would be a threat
to the receiving water body and a public
health hazard. Schein denies any fecal matter
came from the pipe from his mansion.
Officials from the Health Department tested
the water from the pipe and it had fecal coliform and enterococci, indicative of sewage.
Schein said he swims at the beach, and is
denying any culpability that his property is
the source of contamination of the wetlands.
Schein said he took care of the problem as
soon as he knew it was leaking, which was
last month.

Assemblyman Charles Lavine (D-Glen Cove), left, joined Mayor Ralph Souzzi, Sea Cliff Fire Department Chief
Daniel Whittemore, Michael Hallquest, Congressman Steve Israel, and Nassau County Legislator Delia
DeRiggi-Whitton at a fundraiser for the National Brain Tumor Society. Hallquest, who became a volunteer firefighter with the Sea Cliff Department in 2001 and joined the New York City Fire Department in 2005, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2010. Since his diagnosis he has become a top fundraiser for the organization.
Doctors Discuss the
Downsizing of Glen Cove
Hospital
On August 8th, at 8:30 P.M.,
doctors had a closed-door meeting
at the Glen Cove Mansion to discuss the impact on the community
of the planned closing of inpatient
service at North Shore University
LIJ Hospital at Glen Cove. 100 doctors attended the meeting. Mayor
Suozzi was present, and has started
a petition, that has, to date, garnered
about 2500 signatures. There is an
outcry in the community, and is
spreading to other towns. At the
Oyster Bay Town Hall meeting last
Tuesday, president of the
Concerned Citizens of the
Plainview-Old
Bethpage
Community, Inc., Carol Meschkow,
said the proposed changes are
something we all need to be concerned about. She pointed out that
residents in Glen Head, Locust
Valley, and elsewhere, would have
to drive to Plainview or Syosset,
and even Manhasset, when Glen
Cove would have been their first
stop.
Plainview and Syosset
Hospitals would be impacted negatively. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
John Venditto said he is reaching
out to Mayor Suozzi to see what can
be done to help the situation.
Doctors present at the Mansion
meeting voiced opinions, that from
a business point of view, perhaps
the downsizing is understandable,
but from a community point of
view, it will be devastating. Suozzi
said at the meeting that the downsizing will hurt Glen Cove economically if employees, patients and
doctors go elsewhere and stop
patronizing businesses in Glen
Cove. He said taking a great facility that has been here for 87 years
and turning it into a Mash unit; Glen
Cove needs an inpatient hospital,
not a pass through to another facility. The mayor said the news about
NS-LIJ plans came as a jolt.
North Shore-LIJ officials said
the decision to eliminate inpatient
beds stems from declining volume.
The hospital is certified for 265
beds, but the average daily number
is closer to 150. About 700 doctors
are credentialed at the hospital, and
about 90% are voluntary, meaning
they have privileges at the hospital
but do not work for the NS-LIJ
health system, and that the other
10% are employed by NS-LIJ.
NS-LIJ officials said they would
find jobs for the 1200 employees
working at the hospital. Some will
stay in the emergency department
and the family practice center.
Other programs will be moved
along, with the staff, to other facilities. Orthopedic surgery rehabilitation, brain injury rehabilitation and
psychiatry are being moved.
Ambulatory surgery, outpatient
cancer treatment center and medical
offices will stay at the Glen Cove
Hospital.
Michael Dowling, North ShoreLIJ’s chief executive, has agreed to
meet with Mayor Suozzi and Rep.
Steve Israel (D-Huntington) in a
few of weeks.
Glen Cove Holocaust Center Receives Skolnick Family Funding
On Monday, August 5, The Holocaust
Memorial and Tolerance Center of
Nassau County (HMTC), located at the
Welwyn Preserve on Crescent Beach
Road in Glen Cove, announced that it
received a $100,000 contribution for a
new state-of-the-art classroom. With
building already underway, the classroom
will be housed in the Claire Friedlander
Education Institute.
The new classroom, with a seating
capacity of up to 25 students, will offer
state-of-the-art audio-visual aids and cutting edge technical equipment that augment the educational experience of
HMTC visitors. Using the new classroom, HMTC staff will offer specialized
Holocaust video-conferencing programs
and provide a wide variety of workshops
for students, educators, employers and
law enforcement personnel.
“I can think of no greater investment
we can make in our collective future than
education," said Skolnick Family
Charitable Trust Trustee Barry Skolnick.
"As a global society, we will only be able
to realize our potential by continually
learning about the lessons of the
Holocaust and how each of us can make
a positive impact on others and help to
build more inclusive communities.
HMTC has a tremendous amount of

Trust Trustee; David S. Rosen, HMTC Vice Chairman; Steven Markowitz, HMTC Chairman; Peter
J. Klein, HMTC Board Director; Jennifer Carpenter Low, HMTC Director of Development)
knowledge to share in that endeavor."
“The new classroom in the Claire
Friedlander Education Institute is crucial
for HMTC to reach additional educators,
students and other community members
in our continued work to teach universal
lessons that combat prejudice, bigotry
and intolerance,” said HMTC Chairman
Steven Markowitz. “We are grateful to
the Skolnick Family Charitable Trust for
their generous support of the Institute,
which we hope and expect will be
extremely valuable to our region.”
The Claire Friedlander Education
Institute is scheduled for completion in
January 2014.
The Holocaust Memorial and
Tolerance Center of Nassau County is the
pre-eminent Holocaust resource on Long
Island with a contemporary museum and
is one of the largest and most comprehensive education program providers in the
region. Since 2007, nearly 210,000 students, educators, employers and law
enforcement personnel have participated
in the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance
Center’s education programs.
With the Louis Posner Memorial
Library, the Center offers over 7,000 volumes of Holocaust, genocide, multicultural, anti-bias and anti-bullying material
for youth and adults, from Kindergarten
through post-graduate researchers. It is
the largest such collection on Long
Island. Additional information is available online at: www.holocaustnassau.org
Founders Allen and Connie Skolnick
established the Skolnick Family
Charitable Trust. Formerly known as the
CAMBR Charitable Foundation, there
are three principal areas of interest. The
first is education, from the broadest
prospective including all age groups and
all areas of study. Second, medical
research, which includes, but is not limited to, complementary medicine therapies; and, third, scientific research, with a
particular emphasis on nanotechnology,
stem cell research, alternative energies
and related fields. The Trust continues to
support a combination of Jewish-sponsored institutions and activities, as well as
various secular and non-denominational
programs.

TOB Referendum Vote on Mall
In mid July, the State Supreme Court in
Mineola ruled that there were enough signatures on a petition brought forth by the
Taubman Company, a mega-mall developer, to have a referendum on the sale of a 54
acre brownfield site in Syosset, now owned
by the Town of Oyster Bay and occupied by
the town’s Department of Public Works
(DPW). Taubman’s representatives, a
group called Long Island Jobs Now, insist
that the town’s sale of the DPW site is a
back room deal to Simon Properties, Inc., a
competitor of Taubman. On August 20th,
there will be a public referendum vote on
whether the Town of Oyster Bay’s sale of
the site to the Simon Property Group is
approved.
The nearly twenty-year battle is over a
mall proposal by Taubman Company to
build a regional mega mall, on the former
Cerro Wire site, which Taubman acquired
in 1994, and the adjacent Oyster Bay Townowned land used for its Department of
Public Works complex. If Taubman were
able to purchase the town’s acreage, it
would mostly be used to build a parking lot
for its proposed mall. Taubman and Simon
were both in negotiation with the Town for
nine months for the DPW property. Oyster
Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto said
Taubman’s offers contained “subject to”
clauses, which presupposed, that, the necessary permits to build the mall would be
granted. Venditto said, that would not hap-
pen, since the people of the Town of Oyster
Bay do not want a regional mall in their
town. Eventually, Venditto and town officials accepted $32.5 million for its DPW
property from Simon. The property had
been assessed for $25 million. State law
allows townships to make decisions in the
best interest of the town and its citizens, and
it was decided the Simon offer was the best
for the Town and would keep taxes low and
offset town debt (see related article on page
2). In a lawsuit brought against the Town
by Taubman, a Suffolk County judge ruled
against Taubman, stating that the Town
acted “legally, appropriately and reasonably
in the sale to Simon.” Notwithstanding this
decision, Taubman launched an intensive
campaign against Town officials alleging
“backroom” deals and other illegal conduct.
Simon Properties doesn’t want to build a
mall. The land is a former Superfund site,
classified as a brownfield. Only a small
portion can be developed for housing or
similar uses in the immediate future. Other
alternative development ideas are being
studied for the best use of the land.
Supervisor Venditto stated, “If there is
one message above all, it is to make sure
our residents come forward to vote “Yes”
not only to stop Taubman from building a
regional shopping mall in our town, but to
send a message to Taubman that this kind of
behavior won’t be tolerated in the Town of
Oyster Bay..
Rally for GC Hospital
• LORIANN CODY
On Monday afternoon, August 12, more than 200
community members, doctors, local business owners,
and politicians, joined together in a rally to show support for keeping overnight patients stays at Glen Cove
Hospital. North Shore LIJ has plans to repurpose Glen
Cove Hospital as an ambulatory care facility in 2014.
Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi led the rally, calling
on North Shore LIJ Health Systems (NSLIJ) management to postpone the repurposing of the hospital so that
the entire medical community can evaluate the needs of
the 75,000 locals who live on the north shore and need
access to the outstanding medical care provided by
Glen Cove Hospital. Mayor Suozzi stressed that he
would be speaking with local politicians, the Governor,
Dr. Nirav R. Shah, the Commissioner of the NY State
Department of Health, and management of NSLIJ in
the upcoming weeks. Dr. Andrea Kaplan, head of
Family Practice, reiterated how wonderful the hospital
is and called for the community to get involved, by contacting their local political representatives or writing the
governor or Dr. Shah directly.
Representatives from both the Glen Cove and Sea
Cliff fire departments were on hand
to show support for
the hospital as well
as special guests
Mildred and Frank
Feinberg, who have
donated millions to
Glen Cove Hospital
over the past few
years, and whose
Ralph Suozzi with the Feinbergs
names grace the
front of the building. Frank Feinberg is a WWII vet
who stressed the hospital should be
synonymous with honesty, integrity,
communication and respect.
Those interested in saving the hospital can sign the online petition at
www.glencove-li.us. Mayor Suozzi
has collected thousands of signatures
to date and hopes to garner 10,000 or
more names.

Clam Warfare
The incident happened off Glen Cove in Hempstead
Harbor. John Mirabito, 59, of Shirley, was charged with 2
counts of menacing and will be arraigned on Tuesday in First
District Court, Hempstead.
Mirabito was operating his 21-foot Steiger boat when it
collided with the victim’s 21-foot boat. The collision damaged
the victim’s boat, and an argument ensued. Both men were
clamming at the time. Mirabito went into his cabin and
returned with a rifle pointed at the victim and another male
passenger. The victim gunned his engines and drove away.
Nassau County’s Marine 20 called for backup from the
U.S. Coast Guard. Initially the Coast Guard declined, but
eventually a vessel was dispatched to the scene. Bay
Constables from both Oyster Bay and North Hempstead
responded. North Hempstead constables are allowed to carry
sidearms, but are insufficient against a shooter with a rifle.
Oyster Bay constables are not allowed firearms. Surrounded
by authorities, Mirabito was taken into custody without further
incident. The rifle was recovered in the cabin. There has been
a debate for over 2 decades in Oyster Bay over how Bay
Constables can respond to emergencies without firearms, and
make arrests.
Clammers stake out their turf through leases on Long
Island’s fertile shell fish beds. The clammer’s turf is marked
by floats, and clammers are willing to defend their spot. Over
the years there have been arguments and even brawls between
rival clammers in the Long Island waters.
Community spirit.
The crowd in front of the hospital
Sea Cliff and Glen Cove Fire Departments showed their support.
Alternate Development Ideas
The Cerro Wire Coalition was formed to fight
against the proposal by the Taubman Company to
build a mega-mall on the former Cerro Wire property
on Robbins Lane, in Syosset. The organization currently includes 26 civic, business, educational and
community group representing more than 40,000
Town of Oyster Bay homeowners, and 6,000 small
business owners, countywide, that are vigorously
opposed to this mega-mall.
The Cerro Wire Coalition wants a YES vote on
August 20th. The coalition is advancing the cause to
promote Smart-Growth/Mixed Use Options for the
former Cerro Wire site on Robbins Lane in Syosset.
Some ideas for the land include:
• Next generation/Senior housing
• High-tech incubator
• Medical/health care facility
• Research/Bio-tech/Science/Engineering
• Professional offices
• Small business based retail
• Boutique Hotel
• Educational Institution
Glen Cove Man Arrested
Police responded to a 911 call regarding a man
assaulting another person with a knife on Craft
Avenue in Glen Cove. Once officers arrived, they
located the 17 year old female victim , and arrested
her 19 year old ex-boyfriend. It was discovered that
the man unlawfully entered the residence by climbing
through an unlocked window. Once inside, the man

knife, a broken plate, and threatened to choke her with
a phone charging cable. The defendant was charged
with Burglary 1st degree, Assault 3rd degree, three
counts of menacing 2nd degree, and three counts of
possession of a weapon 4th degree. The victim was
treated for a swollen bruised left eye, facial bruises,

EDITORIAL
COLD WAR MENTALITY
Last week President Barack
Obama appeared on Jay Leno’s
“Tonight” show and expressed his
opinion as to the present state of
Russian-U.S. relations since the
granting of asylum to former
National Security Agency employee and defector Edward Snowden.
Snowden is wanted by the U.S.
Department of Justice, charging
him with espionage for disclosing
secret U.S. telephone and surveillance information to the international press. The Justice
Department has sought his return
and requested his extradition from
Russia, where he was holed up for
the past month.
Instead of acceding to the U.S.
request for extradition, the Russian
government, under President
Vladimir Putin, issued a one-year
visa to Snowden in a direct rebuff
to Obama, who was infuriated by
his action. As a result of Putin’s
action, Obama cancelled a one to
one meeting with Putin, scheduled
for September 4th in Moscow.
Obama cited the cooperation
between Russia and the United
States in Afghanistan, and the
Boston Marathon bombings this
year, but stated, “But there have
been times where they slip back
into Cold War thinking and Cold
War mentality.”
This present state of affairs,
giving rise to what Obama has
described as “some pretty blunt
exchanges
and
animated
exchanges” is in contrast to the
spirit of cooperation Obama
expressed to then - Russian
President Dmitri Medvedev, in
South Korea in 2012, “Remember,
tell Vladimir after my election I
have more flexability.” This message of cooperation only reaffirmed to this former KGB officer
that, “flexibility“ meant that conciliation and compromise by the
United States was in the offing.
Negotiations between a hardliner, such as Putin, and Obama, a
former college lecturer, leaves little doubt as to who will prevail in
any sensitive foreign relations
issue and negotiation between
Russia and the United States.
The sad fact is that President
Obama brought few skills to the
White House. In the area of foreign relations, professional career
diplomats will keep our ship of
state afloat, and, on course, if our
captain will stop sending counterproductive messages to our adversaries on the world stage.

INFORMING THE PEOPLE
To the Editor,
At the July 23 city council meeting, I
was happy to see that good sense prevailed and negotiations to sell off
Pascucci Park were tabled after a motion
to do so was made by Councilman Tony
Gallo and seconded by Councilman
Reggie Spinello. I am also grateful that
councilmen and current candidates
Spinello and Gallo sent the word out to
inform the community that this transaction was taking place. If the community
had not been made aware of these secret
negotiations to sell off our public land,
there would not have been the huge outcry that I witnessed at the city council
meeting. The Mayor would have pushed
his agenda through at the meeting and all
of the Democrats on the council would
have voted in favor of selling off our land.
Kudos to Reggie Spinello and Tony
Gallo for their concern for the community and for taking the necessary steps to
inform the public of the proposed action.

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

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John
Venditto said the unique event will allow
fan to go inside the game and experience
football from a different perspective.
“Coaches of the LIU Post Pioneers

the practice, giving attendees the feeling
of being inside the huddle,” said Oyster
Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto.
“Attendees will discover some of the
complex strategy and nuances that go
into an NCAA football program.”
Admission will be free for Town residents, but all attendees are encouraged to

interwoven in the fabric of the Long
Island community,” said Supervisor
Venditto. “It’s an honor to have an outstanding college team, like LIU Post,
practicing on one of our fields. I believe
it speaks volumes about our outstanding
facilities, here in the Town, which are
considered to be among the finest in the
Nation.”
Supervisor Venditto said the Family
Football Night will provide a memorable
night for fans of the sport and provide a
rare opportunity to learn the sideline
plays from coaches.
“The collegiate players serve as role
models for the Town’s young players,
who can, one day, aspire to further their
own education, through athletics,”
Supervisor Venditto said “Best of all, this
event celebrates the game of football and
advances a worthwhile charitable
endeavor at the same time.”

Portledge Summer Offers STEM Programs for Teens
Jane Powel served as Education
Manager of the DNA Learning Center at
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, under
Nobel Laureate James D. Watson, during
his collaboration on the Human Genome
Project. This summer she is teaching the
Future Scientist Program at Portledge
School in Locust Valley. It is a top tier
laboratory course that conducts experiments in each of the scientific disciplines: biology, chemistry, physics, earth
and space and engineering.
It doesn’t sound much like summer
camp, but that’s the point. Melissa
Worth, Director of Portledge Summer
Adventures, says that the response to this
course has been overwhelming. “This
program bridges the gap between fun science for kids and the advanced science
courses many older students pursue as
juniors and seniors in high school. There
is a big demand for summer programs
with more in-depth learning targeted at
this tween age group, who have graduated out of our other programs.”
That’s good news, considering that
The US Department of Labor claims that
of the 20 fastest growing occupations
projected to 2014, 15 of them require significant mathematics or science preparation. “If our programs are a fun introduction to science, students may be more
likely to explore those courses in
school,” says Worth. That may be what
Portledge is counting on. The school has
plans to expand the science curriculum
electives in the coming year to include
the same type of experiential learning
that engages students during the summer.
Until then, Summer Adventures pro-
Students take part in Portledge Summer Adventures STEM program.
vides plenty of Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Math (STEM) offerings for students in the 11-15 year- old
age group: Junior Engineering, Physics
Lab or Build Your Own Computer are
intensive versions of the ever-popular
Summer Adventures science favorites
like Space and Rocketry, Science and
Cooking, Go Wild and CSI and Spies.
Says Worth, “We are proud to offer a
variety of programs along a spectrum of
age groups - from sports to computers,
art, science and drama to build on childrens’ curiosity and passion.”
Portledge is an independent, college
preparatory, pre-nursery to grade 12
school. Within this community, students
are inspired to realize their individual
potential by developing the critical thinking skills and moral courage necessary
for success and life-long learning in an
increasingly complex world. www.portledge.org for more information.

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

The Oyster Bay East Norwich Boys
& Girls Club partnered with Sprint to
celebrate “Internet Safety Month.” The
goal of Internet Safety month was to
open the lines of communication about
Internet and media safety between young
people and the adults who care for them.
Throughout the month of June, the Club
participated in activities dedicated to
educating youth, parents, staff and the
local community about Internet and
media safety.
This very special month was kickstarted with an Internet Safety Poster
Contest, and prizes were awarded to the
winners. Then, each week, topics
focused on Cyberbullying, Social
Networking, Online Privacy and appropriate games to play online. The
Kindergarten thru third grade members
navigated through Router’s Birthday
Surprise each week, while the older
members in grades fourth thru eighth,
watched informative videos and discussed the topics for each week.
The Club would like to thank Sprint
for their partnership and support for this
extremely important program.
For further information regarding this
event and all other Club programs,
please contact Lorraine Rubin, Child
Care Director, at 922-9285, ext. 19.

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

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