The smell of cocoa beans will waft in the air through the streets of Oyster Bay this weekend as if it were Hershey, PA as the Oys-ter Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce holds its inaugural Chocolate Fair on Saturday, Feb-ruary 11th and Family Valentine’s Day on Sunday, February 12th.

The day will offer everything chocolate and love-themed led by Oyster Bay’s own chocolatier Lee Perrotta.

“I’m extremely excited because this a vision come true,” said Per-rotta, who is known to all as The Chocolate Lady. Her eponymous store is at 49 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay.

“We are trying to benefi t every-body so everyone has a good time. We will have lots of events in all different places.”

A thrilling part of the week for Perrotta will be the release of her fi rst book, Tempering Your WayThrough with The Chocolate Lady. The book features memoirs and recipes that coordinate with each chapter.

“It’s my life starting from age fi ve ending last summer in the West Indies buying my cocoa for the season. It’s a quick fun read,” said Perrotta.

This Valentine’s Day, The Choc-olate Lady has 180 different typesof chocolate for sale — all of whichshe makes herself. “We have lots of sexy things: blood orange andpomegranate chocolate, nipples ofVenus, rose creams with imported roses and laics, apricots and bran-dies, dulce del leche, no egg cook-ie dough truffl es, fudge meltaways in white, milk and dark, curry co-conut ginger bon-bons and more,”said Perrotta.

‘The money will go a long way toward addressing a wide range of needs.’

Marcellino talks tax at packed forumBy David J. [email protected]

The standing-room-only crowd at State Senator Carl Marcellino’s Feb. 2nd Community Forum want-ed to talk about just one thing — the state’s two percent tax cap.

From the moment Mr. Marcelli-no strode into the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club in Locust Valley, he was peppered with questions from residents worried about the effect of the cap on their schools.

School districts throughout New York State are now strategiz-ing about how to work within the

cap. Communities are allowed to

override the cap, but only if 60% of voters approve.

Governor Andrew Cuomo in-troduced the cap to force spend-ing controls throughout the state.

“Our spending is getting out of hand. People cannot afford to live here and young people cannot af-ford to stay here,” said Marcellino. “We have an expensive place to live in and an expensive state to live in. All the states around us are capping and we have to be com-petitive.”

Marcellino described Governor

Cuomo as “open and accessible” but said he doesn’t usually change once his mind is made up. “He is fl exible to a point,” he said. “Right now he is riding a tremendous wave of popularity.”

The Senator explained that the assembly, the senate and the gov-ernor must all agree to make any-thing work.

“Two out of three doesn’t count, it has to be all three before any-thing is going to happen,” he said.

Dr. Anna Hunderfund, Superin-tendent of Schools for the Locust Valley Central School District, was in the audience and expressed her

frustration with the new man-dates being put upon her district.

She asked, “If they couldn’t undo the mandates before the cap was passed, why wasn’t there legislation to forbid any new man-dates?”

Marcellino replied, “We pass that legislation every year. It doesn’t mean a thing. We always say we are not going to have any unfunded mandates. We pass the bill then we get to a situa-tion where something occurs and it gets bargained away for some-thing else.”

Producer’s fi rst show is answer to a lifetime dreamBy David J. [email protected]

Eileen McEvoy Harrigan always dreamed of being involved in the entertainment industry, but she found herself stuck in various cor-porate jobs.

One day the Oyster Bay na-tive decided she had deferred her dream too long. She left and never looked back.

The results? Harrigan has fi nal-ly gotten the chance to produce a

play. “The Monkey King” will de-but at the Bare Bones Theater in Northport from February 16th-19th.

“FDR’s words – ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself’ - in-spired me to fi nally leave my job, which I was very unhappy with. I never felt good about the work I was doing. I thought there’s got to be something better than what I’m doing,” said Harrigan. “I removed the fear factor and took an acting class at the Bare Bones Theater in

September.”She loved the stage, but Harri-

gan wanted to see how she would like working behind the scenes.

“I volunteered to help out one night. I started talking to a wom-an who was producing the plays there. When it came time for this show she asked me to be her as-sistant. I thought it was a perfect way to get my feet wet and learn the ropes,” she said.

In November 2011, the produc-er became ill and could no longer

do the show. She then asked Har-rigan to take over.

“I thought, ‘Ok, I’ll give it a shot.’ I fi gured I’d take all the skills I learned at my corporate job and apply it to this one,” said Harri-gan. “I took the fear out and just went for it. I did a lot of techni-cal stuff, which came in handy. It was a culmination of all the things I did at my job in the past. It just worked out.”

“I’m in awe of people who can

Chocolate Fair + Valentines = sweet and sexy

Moments after the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, February 5th, celebra-tions began all over Long Island. Giants’ fa-mous “Big Blue” color could be seen every-where in support of NY’s classic football team. As a result of “Giants Fever,” the A. Phimister Proctor Rough Rider statue of President Theo-

dore Roosevelt was mysteriously sporting a NY Giants fl ag in TR’s arm as he stands regally atop the TR triangle property, located between Berry Hill Road and Lexington Avenue at the entrance to South Street in Oyster Bay. This was quite fi tting being that the 26th President was responsible for shaping the rules of the modern NFL game.


Bully for Big Blue!

Valentine’s Day is far more than cards, candies and fl owers, it’s about the celebration of a romantic bond between two human beings. While our society tends to herald couples like Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and Jay-Z & Beyoncé, we tend to overlook the suc-cesses around us. This week the Guardian spotlights two local couples who have been married over 60 years. We talked to Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick of East Norwich and Ruth & Iver Roslund of Locust Valley about their lifetime relationships and what makes them work.

Mabel & Robert Fitzpatrick

Mabel & Robert Fitzpat-rick of East Norwich met on the beach in Port Washing-ton through a mutual friend when Mabel was 15. Her family spent the weekends there while Robert was born and raised in Port Washing-ton. They both share a love of boating and the water.

The couple instantly began dating. “I liked her from the start,” admitted Robert, who went into the Coast Guard at age 17 dur-ing World War II. When he came home he re-enlisted into the Navy for four years when he served during the Korean War. Meanwhile Mabel kept busy attending nursing school.

The couple married in January 6th, 1951 and hon-eymooned in Florida. “We hit all the tourist traps,” said Mabel.

The Fitzpatricks moved to East Norwich in 1953 and had children right away. They were blessed with two daughters, Gale and Donna and one son, Robert.

Robert went to work for Republic Aircraft in Port

Washington in the supply department. He then moved on to be employed by Lin-coln Processor before run-ning his own painting busi-ness. While Robert worked days, Mabel worked nights at Winthrop Hospital for 40 years.

“We saw each other com-ing & going,” said Robert. Mabel added, “It was hectic but we did it.”

In 1995 Robert had a quadruple bypass and in 2011 he had another bypass where his doctors repaired a leaky valve. “I’m still here and feeling good,” declared Robert, who collects coins and stamps and works in his garage doing woodwork projects.

The couple describes their relationship as “very friendly” and they have managed to remain on each other’s good side for 61 years. “We’ve always got along very good,” said

Robert. Mabel said, “If we ever had a problem, we just worked through it. It’s im-portant to not stay mad at each other.”

In addition to traveling cross-country, the Fitzpat-ricks spent the summer months at their vacation home in New Hampshire on Lake Swanzey.

“We bought it as a ‘Do It Yourself’ and now it’s done,” said Robert. “We enjoy it with our children, our three grandchildren (Christopher, Justin and Joshua) and four great-grandchildren.”

“We planned to retire there but we never left East Norwich,” said Mabel. “It’s a very homey community and we love it.”

Ruth & Iver RoslundRuth & Iver Roslund of

Locust Valley met at a Sweet 16 party in Glen Cove on the last Saturday of June in 1938. “When I walked in the

party, there were three girls sitting on the couch. Ruth was sitting in the middle and that was it,” said Iver.

Iver was born & raised in Locust Valley while Ruth grew up in Manhas-set. After graduating Glen Cove High School in 1937, Iver went to work for local lumberyard Nassau Suffolk Lumber & Supply. In 1942 he went into the Army. The couple married on Septem-ber 5th, 1943 at the Reform Church in Manhasset fol-lowed by a honeymoon in New York City. Because Iver was still in the service Ruth went home to live with her parents.

After coming out of the service, Iver and his two brothers took over their father’s construction busi-ness, Iver Roslund & Sons, in January 1946 building high-end homes. On the day after Thanksgiving in 1948, the Roslunds moved into

their Locust Valley home which Iver built with the help of his brothers.

The couple had two chil-dren Robert & Cynthia and they were heavily involved with the Reformed Church of Locust Valley as well as the boy scouts and girl scouts. Ruth was busy vol-unteering for the American Red Cross and Iver dedicat-ed his time to the Locust Val-ley Fire Department where he has served for 74 years. Ruth likes to play bridge while Iver enjoys bowling.

“Iver is very understand-ing of me and I am very un-derstanding of him,” said Ruth. “We’ve been fortunate to be blessed with a won-derful life.”

The Roslunds have trav-eled all over the world vis-iting Yugoslavia, California, Grand Canyon, Hawaii. Australia, Paris, New Zea-land, Fiji, London, Norway,

Sweden, Denmark, Germa-ny, Holland, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Greece and Egypt.

Ruth had colon cancer four years ago but survived the surgery and today she is cancer free. “Thank Godthey got it all,” she said. Today they have fi ve grand-children and one great-grandchild

When asked what has been the key to their success, Ruth said, “We believe in trust and love. We brought our children up that way.” Iver added, “We had good role models like my mom and dad. They got married and stayed married. Today you just don’t know.”

Recently the couple cele-brated Iver’s 93rd birthday. “I really love Iver because he’s a very thoughtful per-son who’s both kind and gentle,” said Ruth. “He’d do anything in the world for anybody.”

The Scott family of Bay-ville appeared on NBC’s news coverage of the NY Giants ticker tape parade down Broadway on Tues-day, February 7th celebrat-ing their Super Bowl XLVI victory over the New Eng-land Patriots.

Venturing into Manhat-tan at 5:15 AM, the Scotts were determined to secure a good spot on Broadway between Exchange & Wall Street.

“We got photos of Eli Manning, Justin Tuck, Ah-mad Bradshaw - everybody. It was awesome,” said fa-ther Jamie Scott on screen accompanied by his wife Suzy and daughters Kristin and Sarah. “We wanted to be on the rail and we got on the rail. We were front and center for the whole thing.”

His daughter Kristin added, “It was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportu-nity. I’m so glad I was here.”

The Scotts were thrilled when they got their Giants fl ag autographed by Steve DeOssie. “It’s so exciting! We are all revved up as a family,” stated Jamie. “What a day! We have two million people lining the streets of Manhattan cheering on our 53 NY Football Giants - God Bless!”

Marchands welcome baby MiaMargaret and Ron Marchand of Bayville welcomed their daughter Mia Francesca into the world on December 27th, 2011. Mia weighed 6.12 and was 20 1/2 inches long. Mia’s twin brothers Ronnie and Vinnie, age 9 are thrilled to have a baby sister. Equally excited are Mia’s grandparents Fran and Vinnie Saltarelli of Woodbury and Ron and Dolo-res Marchand, formerly of Rockville Centre.


Consignment stores have become all the rage these days not only for bargains but for unique hard-to-fi nd styles. However, most of the market is geared to-ward adults. Enter Gina Weinberg of East Norwich and Donna Cohen of Oyster Bay, two friends who put to-gether the Spotted Owl – a consignment store for kids, which recently opened at 39 East Main Street in Oyster Bay. They will host a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for their Grand Opening tomorrow, Saturday, February 11th at 11 AM.

Weinberg, who grew up in Syosset and Cohen, who was raised in Oyster Bay Cove, have been friends for 20 years. They have six chil-dren between them - Cohen has two girls and Weinberg has four boys. Together they make the perfect pair. Co-hen is an organizer/neat freak while Weinberg is handy and has a business background. They joined forces for this new venture and its been successful from the start.

The idea came about last winter when they found themselves overloaded and swamped with clothes from their friends. “I remember saying to my husband, ‘Oh my God, I could open up a store with all the stuff I have for my kids.’ The concept made sense to us because

kids stuff is so expensive,” said Cohen. “There are a lot of consignment stores but none that cater to kids. We felt there was a niche here in Oyster Bay.”

The store features clothes for boys & girls from infants to age 16 plus some toys, books and DVDs plus mater-nity clothes for the moms-to-be as well. The clothes are pre-owned, but not al-ways pre-worn. Lots of new clothes come in with tags on them.

“People clean out their closets and bring the clothes to us. We go through them and separate what we are taking and not taking. They get 40% of what they sell for,” said Cohen. “When you shop here you can dress your kid in designer clothes at a fraction of the price.”

All clothes must be washed with no stains and in next-to-new condition. “We check the prices on the computer and we take into consideration all the differ-ent sales,” said Cohen. “We try and price items in the middle range of where we think it should be.”

If people don’t want the clothes back the Spotted Owl donates them to a dif-ferent charity each month.

The store began when Weinberg & Cohen gath-ered as much clothes as they could through friends. Now just by word-of-mouth their business has grown tremendously. “We are a bit overwhelmed with the stuff

that has come in but we’ve been getting great things,” said Weinberg. “We’ve been selling North Face jackets, Ugg boots and Ralph Lauren items. The top name brands go really fast.”

The name of the store came from Weinberg who is a Harry Potter fan. “I’ve al-ways had a thing for owls,” she admitted. “Plus the The-odore Roosevelt Sanctuary, which is up the block, is one of my favorite places.”

If you can’t fi nd what you are looking for the Spot-ted Owl has a Wish List for specifi c items. “We go hunt-ing for it. We get the stuff people ask for within days,” said Weinberg. “Every time some one drops off a bag it’s like digging for treasures.”

Although they’ve only been open nine weeks, the store is already talking about expanding. “We are going into the next room and considering taking the back area as well for storage because we are running out of space,” said Weinberg. “We can’t tag the clothes fast enough!”

The store accepts con-signments on Mondays from 10 AM-12:30 PM or by ap-pointment. Hours are: Tues-day-Friday: 11 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays 10 AM-5 PM. Soon they will be opening Thursday nights till 7 PM.

OPINIONEDITORIAL

A veto by Cuomo may save redistricting

Looking at the current New York state government, you could almost forget that until recently it was an ineffec-

tive embarrassment, a decidedly non-func-tional democracy.

Since Andrew Cuomo was elected gov-ernor, things have been looking up in our state. There’s been ethics reform and man-date relief; same-sex couples are fi nally al-lowed to marry here; the 2 percent tax cap should help force more modest spending levels; and in 2011 there was the rarest of occurrences in Albany — legislators bal-anced the budget and passed it on time.

The one task at which lawmakers have consistently failed the people of the state, however, is redistricting. Every 10 years, af-ter the federal census, the lines of state As-sembly and Senate districts, and Congres-sional districts, must be redrawn to refl ect New York’s ever-changing demographics. The task seems a straightforward math-ematical challenge: If an area shows an in-crease in population, it gets an increase in representation, and if its population drops, so does the number of legislators it sends to the capital, with the goal of approximate equalization among all districts. But what should be a transparent, aboveboard pro-cess inevitably gets bogged down in politi-cal gamesmanship and shady deals. What we, the people, get in the end are “redrawn” districts that keep incumbents in offi ce year after year.

In New York, Democrats control the As-sembly and Republicans control the Senate. So it’s no surprise that Republicans are pro-testing the redistricting lines the Democrats have drawn for the Assembly, while Demo-crats are crying foul over the lines their op-ponents have drawn in the Senate.

As if the redistricting process wasn’t al-ready opaque and obscure enough, recent laws and court decisions have added to the problem of redrawing lines in time for the state’s primary elections, which used to be held in September. A federal judge has moved Congressional primaries up to June 26 to comply with the Military and Over-

seas Voter Empowerment Act, which gives citizens overseas more time to vote as ab-sentees in November’s general election. The state must now decide when the primaries will be held for Assembly and Senate seats. The earlier the primaries, the sooner re-drawn district maps must be agreed on and approved, because candidates must know who they are running to represent.

Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, a Republican from Rockville Centre, is pro-posing moving the state primaries up from September to August. Skelos would like to reschedule both the state and federal pri-maries to August — which would still com-ply with the MOVE Act — so as not to dis-rupt the legislative calendar.

Cuomo has said that if a purely partisan redistricting plan makes it to his desk, he will veto it. We hope he keeps that promise.

It’s been a year since the governor sub-mitted a bill to the State Legislature to es-tablish an independent redistricting com-mission. Democrats and Republicans have ignored the bill, in spite of their campaign pledges to create such a commission.

Skelos has said that doing so would re-quire an amendment to the state Consti-tution. An amendment would have to be passed by two consecutive sessions of the Legislature, meaning the madness of the current system wouldn’t end until the 2020 election.

If an amendment is what it takes to fi nal-ly get a fair redistricting process, fi ne. But where is the progress on it? It’s been nearly a year since the Senate did any work on cre-ating it. Has anything been done since?

We hope that Cuomo will stand by his promise to veto a redistricting plan drawn along partisan lines, though we suspect that the pressure for earlier primaries may force him to cave, arguing that at some point we must have new maps, primary campaigns, primary winners and general elections. We think this may be the last time in a decade for elected leaders to demonstrate that New York state government is not of the parties, by the parties and for the parties.

Oyster Bay High School junior, Alessandra Puccio, has been selected to repre-sent New York as a National Youth Correspondent to the 2012 Washington Journal-ism and Media Conference at George Mason University.

Puccio joins a select group of students from all over the country for an in-tensive study of journal-ism and media. She was chosen based on academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism and media studies.

With distinguished fac-ulty, guest speakers, and direct access to elite D.C. practitioners, The Washing-ton Journalism and Media conference offers aspir-ing journalists and student leaders an unparalleled ex-perience. The week long program, held at George Mason University’s state-of-the-art campus, will encour-age and inspire young lead-ers from across the country who desire a unique experi-ence focused on successful careers in this dynamic in-dustry.

The Washington Journal-ism and Media Conference (WJMC) will be held July 8-July 13, 2012. The WJMC is a unique student leader-ship conference designed to develop and encourage future leaders for careers in the changing world of media in the 21st century. The conference Advisory Board, chaired by News-eum senior vice president,

Susan Bennett, includes CEOs of media companies, distinguished journalists, renowned authors and uni-versity faculty. For more information, visit their web-site at wjmc.gmu.edu.

Puccio serves as treasur-er of the Oyster Bay High School chapter of the Na-tional Honor Society and the Junior Class. She is a valuable member of the 2011 League Champion Varsity Field Hockey team. Puccio has already made a name for herself as a jour-nalist in the local press here in Oyster Bay.

Friends Academy will host children’s singer/song-writer Darlene Graham to the Friends Academy Early Childhood Center. Children, ages 2 to 6, are invited to this fun-fi lled one-hour per-formance beginning at 2:30 PM on Saturday, Feb. 11th.

In addition, parents are invited to tour The With-ington House (home to the Early Childhood Center, ages 3 and 4), as well as the Friends Academy Lower School, K-5.

Renovated in the spring of 2010, The Withington House and Lower School classrooms feature cutting-edge technology, includ-ing SmartBoards, Smart-Tables, iPad stations in the fi rst grade and the interac-tive touch-sensitive HATCH learning system in the Early Childhood Center.

This fall, Kristin Minuto joined the program as its new director. A Kindergarten teacher for 10 years and in-volved with curriculum de-velopment, Minuto has also been teaching Early Child-hood students since 1997. “I am honored to be a new member of the Friends Acad-emy family,” said Minuto.

The innovative multi-age Early Childhood program of 3- and 4-year-olds pro-vides Spanish four times a week, math and science, literacy, socialization and independence, as well as

hands-on baking, garden-ing and physical education. In September, Minuto cre-ated a new “Master Painter” program, in which children study nine master painters, one each month, and recre-

ate their style of artwork.A playful and fl exible af-

terschool program rounds out the program, which of-fers highly supervised ac-tivities between 3:30 and 6 PM Friday.

Dear Neighbor,

We are writing to warn you about proposed changes to the Village Code that may signifi cantly reduce the value of your property and limit your freedom to enjoy your land as you see fi t!

At their January meeting, your Muttontown Village trustees tried to sneak through signifi cant changes to the Village Code without following proper legislative procedures, without providing reasonable notice of the changes and, most importantly, without providing any explanation of how these changes will affect you and your family. The Village trustees also failed to offer any rationale as to how the changes would serve the public interest or produce scientifi c support for the proposed law.

Having failed to pass these sweeping changes in January, the Trustees now propose to force through these measures at a meeting inconveniently scheduled for Valentine’s Day(February 14) when most of us would prefer to spend the evening with our loved ones rather than at Village Hall defending our basic property rights.

You deserve an explanation! Village Trustees have an obligation to explain the reasons for imposing such far-reaching changes and to disclose how, and by how much, you and your family will be impacted by the new law.

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS! Attend the Village meeting on February 14th, 2012 at 7:30 pm

Please visit: www.muttontowndeclassifi ed.org

to learn more about the proposed law and how it impacts your property values and quality of life.

MUTTONTOWN BEWARE

Concerned Citizens for MuttontownHow Does This Affect You and Your Family?

Steep Slopes & Yield: Affects more than 1,100 parcels of land! • Currently, the Village Code requires land with slopes of 25% or greater be deducted from building lot yield. The proposed Code would require that all land with slopes of 15% or greater be deducted from property yield.

• This change, which potentially impacts more than 1,100 parcels in the Village, may signifi cantly reduce your land value or outright prevent you from subdividing your property.

New Wetlands Defi nitions: Affects at least 175, perhaps many more of you! • Today, the Village Code defi nes wetlands as naturally occurring areas 12.4 acres or larger. The new law defi nes wetlands as 2,000 square feet or larger – equivalent to reducing 10 football fi elds to ½ a tennis court.

• Wetlands will also now include man-made ponds and “seasonally saturated areas.”

• These changes directly impact at least 175 Muttontown landowners and may impact many more depending on site-specifi c conditions.

100 foot Buffer Area Affects you and your neighbors! • The new law requires a wetland and its 100-foot buffer to be kept in its natural state. You may be prohibited from mowing your lawn, planting a rose garden or installing a fence.

• Even if a wetland is not located on your property, the 100-foot buffer around your neighbor’s wetland may extend onto your property and interfere with your use of your own land.

• The proposed code would now require that the wetland area and surrounding 100-foot buffer be excluded from a property’s yield. Such reductions in potential yield could dramatically reduce the value of your property and even prevent you from subdividing altogether.

Fines and Imprisonment That’s right, fi nes and jail! • If the Village fi nds you have disturbed your new wetland or the 100-foot buffer, you face costly fi nes ($3,000 per day) and even jail time.

Increased Costs and Delays, Greater Uncertainty • Dreaming of adding a pool, tennis court, horse barn, garage or addition to your home? DREAM ON! After spending many thousands of extra dollars on experts to stake your new wetland and buffer, resurvey your land and suffer through myriad other red tape required by this extremely stringent law, ultimately your application may be denied (after a very lengthy, expensive review process). This has a direct impact on the value of your land.

Though the holiday sea-son of giving is now behind of us, Homes By Mara Re-alty President and Owner Mara Navaretta is keeping the spirit of giving alive this year, setting up a reserve fund within her Syosset-based agency in which a portion of this year’s com-missions will benefi t Chil-dren’s Brain Tumor Foun-dation (CBTF). Navaretta decided to launch this ini-tiative after being moved by the tragic story of one of her real estate associate’s, Fred Adlman, who suffered the loss of his daughter, Jill, in 1990 due to a brain tu-mor. Adlman and his wife, Bonnie, have since become active with CBTF, serving on its board and assisting its mission to improve the treatment, quality of life and long term outlook for children with brain and spi-nal chord tumors.

“Fred and I are grateful to Mara, her corporation and agents for supporting the many children who have been diagnosed with brain tumors, as well as their families,” said Bonnie Adl-man. “It is uplifting to see a local business stepping out to support a cause that is so near and dear to our hearts. I know Mara’s efforts will have a pinwheel effect in building awareness and inspiring other businesses to get more involved with charitable organizations.”

To commemorate her new support initiative for CBTF, Navaretta kicked of the New Year with a dona-

tion of $500 to the Foun-dation. Further donations resulting from a percent-age of commissions col-lected among participating agents will be made on a quarterly basis throughout 2012. Additionally, Nava-retta will donate a portion of the agency’s annual prof-its to CBTF at the end of the year. She and her agents are also planning to participate in some of Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation’s upcom-ing fundraising events.

“As a mother with a seven year old of my own, I have an innate love and passion for children and am always looking to lend a helping hand to children in need,” said Navaretta. “Fred and Bonnie are re-markable individuals. While they have suffered the trag-edy of having lost a daugh-ter, I am inspired by their ability to not only live on but also the amazing work

they have done in conjunc-tion with Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation to help other children whose lives and families are affected by brain tumors. My heart goes out to the children who have been diagnosed with this disease and I am proud to offer my help to Chil-dren’s Brain Tumor Founda-tion and the many children and families they serve.”

CBTF Executive Direc-tor Joe Fay says he is hap-py to have Homes By Mara among its supporters. “We are delighted to welcome Homes By Mara to the ranks of corporations that sup-port Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation,” commented Fay. “Because CBTF serves so many families on Long Island, we appreciate a lo-cal business that recognizes and supports not only our organization but, more im-portantly, the families and survivors whom we serve. This horrifi c, deadly disease can only be conquered by supporters who step for-ward to help, like Mara and her fi rm.”

Fay added, “We know that all families, including those affected by children’s brain and spinal cord tu-mors, value businesses that tangibly demonstrate their commitment to issues af-fecting the communities where they do business. By supporting CBTF, Mara and her agency reinforce that their concern extends not only to their own clients but to the entire Long Island community.”

Syosset Central School District recently announced that two Syosset High School students, Sida Chen and Daniel Chui, have been selected as candidates for the United States Presi-dential Scholars Program. Scholars are chosen based on outstanding academic success, artistic excellence, leadership, and involve-ment in school and the com-munity.

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program serves to recognize and honor the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school se-niors.

Each year, 3,000 candi-dates are named based on broad academic achieve-ment and SAT and ACT scores. Approximately 500 candidates are named semi-fi nalists and forwarded to a commission for further review. In April 2012, the Commission on Presidential Scholars selects up to 121

academic scholars and up to 20 arts scholars. Only 141

students will be named U.S. Presidential Scholars.

One of America’s greatest contemporary voices, Linda Eder, returns to LIU Post’s Tilles Center for the Per-forming Arts in Brookville on Saturday, February 11th at 8 PM with a romantic program just in time for Valentine’s Day. The perfor-mance is sponsored by The Klar Organization.

Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. Lin-da fi rst appeared in the pub-lic eye in 1987 after winning the television talent show Star Search for twelve con-secutive weeks. This TV suc-cess led to a leading role on Broadway as Lucy Harris in “Jekyll & Hyde,” for which she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award.

Eder launched her re-cording career in 1991 with her self-titled debut album and soon established a vi-tal niche as America’s most popular and acclaimed new interpreter of pop standards and theatrical songs with such releases as And So Much More, It’s No Secret Anymore, Christmas Stays the Same, Gold, Storybook,

Broadway My Way and By Myself: The Songs of Judy Garland. Most recently, she crowned her two-decade re-cording career with a new album, Now, which reunites Linda with Broadway and pop composer Frank Wild-horn.

Eder has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Davies Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Wolf Trap and the Ravinia Festival. Her most recent Tilles Center performance was at Gala 2009, when she shared the stage with an-other Tilles Center favorite, Brian Stokes Mitchell.

Tickets to see Linda Eder, Saturday, February 11th at 8 pm at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts are $82, $62 and $42. All ticket prices include a $2 per tick-et facility fee. Tickets are available online at www.tillescenter.org or www.ticketmaster.com, in person at Tilles Center’s box offi ce or by telephone at (516) 299-3100 or 1-800-745-3000. The box offi ce is open Monday-Saturday from 1-6

PM. There is a service fee for all tickets purchased on-line or by phone. There are no refunds.

Marcellino talks tax at packed forumSeveral speakers said

mandates for the Locust Val-ley Central School District should be frozen because of its high performance.

Marcellino agreed, “I’d like to see some school dis-tricts who are performing very well get relief from some of these rules. Give them a break for a period of time. I suggest you write let-ters to the governor to sup-port this position because right now it’s in the minor-ity.”

Marcellino said the school districts in the 5th Senate District should get some mandate relief before the end of this year.

“What form it will take I don’t know. We will work on it and try to easy the pain to make it better for the dis-tricts to live within the cap,” he said. “We know it’s not going to be easy but it’s a law that has to work and it’s

an extremely popular law. Eight out of nine letters I get are for it.”

The Senator did warn that the wealthy districts are not going to get as much aid as the less fortunate dis-tricts.

“They think we have too much and they don’t have enough,” he said. “You have districts upstate who don’t have anything, they are fl at broke and ready to close.”

When the crowd cried that the 2% cap wouldn’t cover their costs Marcel-lino suggested that they use the override clause, which would involve garnering just over 60% of the vote.

However, the Senator did say piercing the cap was controversial and admitted that it would “tick off” the governor.

He suggested that the school district live within the 2% cap for the fi rst cycle. “Try it and see what

happens,” he said. “Next year if it has to be adjusted, we will work to amend and correct the problems.”

LVCSD Board of Educa-tion President Jack Dolce asked Marcellino, “The cur-rent increase in the pension plan alone exceeds the 2% tax cap for the school dis-trict. How can the state ex-pect the cap to work under these circumstances?”

Marcellino stated, “Pen-sion systems are a mandate. People in civil service get a pension by constitution. Pensions are a percentage of salaries; the higher the sal-ary, the higher the pension. The step increments are ne-gotiated not mandated and they are contractual. They were created by the districts through negotiations.”

The crowd grumbled about the cost of pensions and called for the constitu-tion to be changed. Marcel-lino replied, “A deal was

made. People worked under those conditions and the constitution was set up for civil service. If you worked for government, you were not going to work to get rich you were going to work for security. I’m not going to break that agreement. I’m not going to vote to take money out of people’s pockets that they worked all their lives for.”

The Senator did say that the state is implementing new pension tiers going for-ward.

“When new employees come in, they will get less, move their retirement age back and pay more in,” he said. “Unions are saying,

‘No.’ But I think they are wrong.”

In regard to the possibil-ity of freezing the step in-crements, Marcellino said, “The Senate has approached the governor and asked to freeze the steps, not elimi-nate them. The governor said we are not going to get anywhere with that there-fore it’s off the table and the Assembly has said ‘No’ as well.”

With all the changes go-ing on, one person inquired if a consolidation of school districts would be the gov-ernor’s next move.

“He will come around to it. I believe that’s where he is going to go. There is incen-

tive money in the budget to study the proposal but it’s never really worked out,” said Marcellino. “Sooner or later there will be a push to make a reduction in a num-ber of taxing entities. Wheth-er or not it will save the state money remains to be seen.”

After two hours of going round-and-round the issue, Senator Marcellino closedout the discussion by stat-ing, “The state government, the country and the world are going through tough economic times. We will getthrough it. It has happened before. In the meantime, we have to save what we can save and try to get past this problem.”

take you away from reality for two hours.” Harrigan said, “I thought to be a part of that would be fabulous. I love TV, the theater and the movies. It’s a wonderful world.”

After living in Phoenix, Arizona for a year and Con-necticut for three years, she decided to move back home.

“When it came time to raise my children and send them to school, I said, ‘There’s no place like home,’ ” said Harrigan. “Oyster Bay

is a gem. There’s no place like it.”

The play centers around accountant Rupert Marlowe who stole money from his mobster boss and ran away with his daughter Diane to Bali on New Year’s Eve. Now, a half man, half mon-key demon character that Rupert sold his soul to has come to collect. The play, written and directed by Don Intonato of Syosset, stars his son Ben Intonato.

“It’s funny yet dark and

edgy. We all need a little of that darkside,” said Har-rigan. “The message is: you ou don’t know what you are capable of until you are put to the test.”

TERMS OF SALE

Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts.

However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differ-ential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceed-

ings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a suc-cessful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchas-er’s rights with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership.

The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premis-es herein listed. The Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasurer is part of the bankrupt-cy estate. However,it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchas-ers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agen-cies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk.

The rate of interest and penalty at which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount for which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Trea-surer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all amounts deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limit-ed to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase shall be of no further effect.

Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale.

This list includes only tax liens on real estate located in the Town of Hempstead. Such other tax liens on real estate are advertised as fol-lows:

LEGAL & PUBLIC NOTICES

SPORTSOUT IN RIGHT FIELDBy Jeff Davis

NY Giants win Super Bowl XLVI

The gladiators have fought. America took a Sun-day night off for a football game. New England, which prides itself on being the “Red Sox Nation,” has another reason to hate New York. The New York Giants and it’s New York, even if Jersey Gov-ernor Chris Christi thinks differently, as they rode through the “Canyon of Heroes” on February 7th. As I predicted, the New York Giants are Super Bowl champions. The Giants were 3 point underdogs but managed a 21-17 victory over the QB Tom Brady led New England Patriots.

The entire Super Bowl experience was perfect. The city of Indianapolis showed Mid-West charm and proved that intelligent planning is possible from elected offi cials. The hotels that sprung up, the $10 “Cable Fly Ride” which launched riders for 650 feet, 80 feet above the street going to the Sta-dium was more popular than anyone could have expected. It is a ride that will probably be a feature of Indianapolis as the Arch is for St. Louis.

Kelly Clarkson sang the National Anthem and didn’t even make a mistake. Madonna was the half-time entertainment and didn’t have a “wardrobe malfunction.” The commercials weren’t political, weren’t offensive and actually were very entertain-ing. Car makers had the best commercial using Clint Eastwood’s distinct voice saying, “This coun-try can’t be knocked out with one punch.” Twitter lit up with thousands saying that Eastwood should be running for president. Can’t laugh at that since we have elected actors before and they can be very successful presidents. Acura had a commercial with Jay Leno one upping Jerry Seinfeld. Audi’s, “vampires” and Pepsi wanting “respect” were prime time winners too. The price for commercials this year was $3.5 million for each 30 second spot. The estimated audience was 110 million in this country and untold additional millions world-wide.

The game was fi rst rate. Giant quarterback Eli (MVP) Manning completed 30 of 40 passes for 296 yards. Manning’s key throw to wide-out Mario Manningham was remarkable on so many levels. First Manningham came down with the ball and kept his feet inbounds. Secondly Manning had rolled right and threw the ball, threading a needle to Manningham, a feat that required incredible arm strength as well as accuracy.

The G-men ran enough to keep the Patriot de-fense off balance and the defense had a safety and several key sacks, two most notably by Justin Tuck. With all that being said, Tom Brady still had 57 seconds left to pull off a miracle and quite nearly did. The last play, the “Hail Mary” pass nearly was batted toward a Pat player, but just fell short.

The game is over. The hype has ended. What can possibly happen in the world of sports that will capture so many people’s attention? Did I hear anyone say “March Madness?” For fun how about emailing me your picks for the fi nal four and who will be the National Champion.

On Wednesday Febru-ary 1st, the St. Dominic 6th Grade CYO Team in the B Division played St. Mary’s of East Islip. The special part of the game came when Oyster Bay resident Nicholas Viscovich, a 6th Grader with Special Needs, was placed in the game. Nick has been practicing all season with the St. Domi-nic Team, but this was his fi rst game action. The team ran a special play for Nick, called “Superman.” After a couple of near misses, Nick hit a big shot and the entire gym erupted in applause.

What made the night unique was the fact that many of Nick’s close friends and family traveled in to see the big game. Also in at-tendance was Nick’s good friend, Fr. Gerry Gordon,

Associate Pastor at St. Dom-inic’s R.C. Church.

To top off a great night, St. Dom’s won the game 27-15. Both teams played a hard fought game and Nick was the team’s good luck charm. The 6th Grade B Di-

vision Team is now 7-2 onthe season. The 6th Grade C Division Team, coached by Ken McGee, is also hav-ing a nice season with a re-cord of 8-2. Both teams arein good shape to make the playoffs.

Zippy The ChimpOn Valentine’s Day I’ll be sixty-four.

Ouch. I used to fl irt with the Oyster Bay Guardian columnist and everybody’s sweetheart, Gloria O’Rourke, and send her a dozen red roses every February 14th. And then she’d mention it in her column, saying “Jackie only sends me fl owers so I’ll tell everybody it’s his birthday.” We all miss her greatly.

The picture (above and to the right) was taken at my house at 29 Garey Court in Lansing, Michigan on my 25th birthday. Seated at the banquet table, surrounding the immense turkey I had cooked for them, are my mother Dorothy, my sister Katie Dunn, my girlfriend Andrea Green, Larry Wick-ett & Mike Eddy & John Sase from my Michigan State rock band The Pillow-Cayse, me & Zippy The Chimp.

The PillowCayse had spent a chunk of the summer of 1971 barely eking out a living in Cape Cod. At the end of the trimester the guys drove the band truck from the midwest to East Nor-wich to spend a few days and then we headed on to Massachusetts.

Lee Ecuyer, an entrepreneurial ge-nius from Freeport, had put himself through college and then went on to make a fortune with his trained chim-panzee “Zippy.” Zippy was a national celebrity, featured on Howdy Doody, Ed Sullivan and many other television shows in the ‘50s and ‘60s. My pal Joe Buglisi and his wife Debbie answered an ad to move into Lee’s jungle ani-mal-proof home, become Zippy The Chimp’s “parents” and take the reins squiring the talented little ape to su-

permarket openings and shopping malls coast-to-coast.

One very hot June night in that summer of 1971, before heading to The Cape, my band was practicing in my mother’s dining room, blasting the Rolling Stones. Jefferson Airplane and the James Gang. Most of the lo-cal hippie population was gathered at the octagon windows at 941 Oyster Bay Road, scattered in the backyard and everywhere, many if not all of them sailing on any of a variety of in-toxicants, when my good pals Joe and Debbie...and Zippy...came screaming up in their huge white Eldorado.

Joe opened the back door and Zip-py leaped out. He was wearing tiny blue jeans and his classic white sweat-shirt that read “Zip,” and within min-utes was playing hide and seek with the freaks and then rollerskating on the patio. Every single person in that entire Woodstock-era gang was shak-ing his or her altered head in disbelief as this incredibly childlike animal ran about among them.

The classic light bulb went on over

my head and I said, “Joe, let’s have some fun.”

I had always loved teasing my mother Dot’s sister Janet, who mar-ried my father’s brother Len, and they lived just two blocks away. And I must toss in that at the age of twenty-four I had never seen my Uncle Len laugh.

Joe and I walk over to Floyd Place, each holding one of Zippy’s hands. His head’s just above our knees, he’s about the size of a three-year-old. We knock, my aunt open the door, look-ing us in the eye, not looking down. I open the screen door, we take a step in, and with us each giving a slight yank, in the blink of an eye Zippy’s up on Aunt Janet’s chest, with both of his long hairy arms wrapped all the way around her neck.

My Uncle Len looks up from his Newsday wondering what’s going on. My aunt’s petrifi ed, as frozen as Walt Disney.

She looks at me wide-eyed and blurts, “Does he b-i-t-e?”

My uncle laughed so hard he almost fell out of his chair.

259 First Street, Mineola, New York 11501 • 1.866.WINTHROP • winthrop.org

21-year-old Sergei takes a 3-mile walk in Petrozavodsk, Russia every day. But

he will never consider it routine. Not after four major heart operations, the first

when he was only two years old. And certainly not after surviving a desperate

20-hour train trip and a transatlantic flight late last year for emergency surgery.

Through the efforts of a nonprofit foundation, Sergei made his way to Winthrop-

University Hospital, where a renowned heart surgeon and a multidisciplinary team

of physicians and staff agreed to take on his almost-hopeless case. They replaced

Sergei’s failing aortic and mitral valves in a tense 8-hour operation.

Today Sergei is a walking miracle. With a healthy respect for Winthrop’s guiding

truth: Your Health Means Everything. To learn more, go to winthrop.org. For a

physician referral, call 1.866.WINTHROP.

My daily walk in Petrozavodsk began last year in Mineola.
