Community ceremonies mark 9/11 anniversaryBy David J. [email protected]

Over the past 10 days, communities came together across the country to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the “day that changed everything for everybody” — Sept. 11, 2001. At fi ve local memorial ceremonies, people refl ected on the victims who were lost, thanked those who saved lives and renewed their faith in the United States of America.

NASSAU COUNTY

Nassau County residents united at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow for a ceremony at the county’s Lakeside Theatre on Wednesday, September 7th commemorating the 10th anni-versary of the September 11th ter-rorist attacks. Family and friends of the 9/11 victims bonded while resi-dents of Nassau County collectively mourned.

Nassau County Executive Ed Man-gano cut through the fanfare and got straight to the point.

“The pain is still as sharp as it was 10 years ago. Together we share the grief of 349 Nassau County families whose lives were forever changed,” he said. “We pause as a communi-ty to remember the brave men and women who charged into burning buildings to save the lives of inno-cent victims and continued to work at Ground Zero for weeks to come. In Nassau County alone, 18 active

volunteer fi refi ghters made the ul-timate sacrifi ce during their acts of heroism.”

Retired FDNY Fire Commission-er Thomas Von Essen spoke to the crowd about the overwhelming as-sistance FDNY received from vol-unteer fi remen from Nassau County and beyond on September 11th and in the months afterward.

“We didn’t even have time to ask for help and we had never asked for help before. But people knew we needed help. They knew the biggest, most powerful and well-manned fi re department in the world wasn’t go-ing to be able to do it without assis-tance so they came,” said Von Essen.

Commissioner Von Essen said he learned that anyone can become a hero. “Extraordinary things can be accomplished by ordinary people. When I hear the word hero used for an athlete or movie star, I think what a shame that people believe they are heroes. I have a different vision. It’s

someone who cares about others and is willing to risk their life to saveanother person. It doesn’t have to bea policeman, fi refi ghter or soldier. It can be an ordinary citizen who de-cides to do something extraordinaryby risking everything to help anoth-er person. That’s what heroes do.”

Full-time faculty at Long Island University’s C.W. Post campus in Brookville went on a four-day strike last week over a contract dispute that began on Sep-tember 7th - the fi rst day of classes for the fall semester. The strike, which was the school’s third in the past de-cade, was eventually settled on September 11th.

The striking union known as the C.W. Post Col-legial Federation rejected a fi ve-year contract that in-cluded a pay freeze for the fi rst year, a 3% one-time payout for the second year, a 2% one-time payout for the third year or possibly a 2% salary increase based on an increase in revenue and a minimum 2% salary in-crease up to a possible 4% based on an increase in rev-enue.

Anke Grosskopf of Locust Valley has been teaching po-litical science at C.W. Post since 2001. She was out on Route 25A in her gradua-tion cap and gown holding up a sign calling for fair ne-gotiations. “We understand these are diffi cult times and we’re not asking for outra-geous salaries. We want what’s fair,” she said. “We want both our students and the university to do well. But we have to be able to make a living too.”

Grosskopf felt the uni-versity is portraying the situation as if they can give scholarships to students or pay raises to faculty. “Usu-ally the way scholarships work is that it is the uni-versity’s obligation to raise funds through the endow-ment to pay for scholar-ships,” she said. “We are sad to have our students caught up in the middle of this.”

The professor made it clear that all the teachers were eager to get back to the classroom. “It’s stressful to be out here. We’d rather be working,” Grosskopf said. “Many professors feel that administration doesn’t treat us in the way we de-serve to be treated. We’re being treated as if we were expendable. But without faculty and students, you wouldn’t have a university.”

Grosskopf claimed that the major money is being spent on administration. “For every tuition dollar that

parents and students pay only 14 cents goes toward faculty salaries. The inter-esting question is where does the rest go?” she said. “What we’ve seen is a lot of growth in administrative overhead. But that’s not the core of the university. You can’t build endowment out of students’ pockets or fac-ulty’s pockets.”

Hoyt Hobbs of Manhat-tan has taught philosophy at C.W. Post for 45 years and remembers striking ev-ery time a contract runs out. “We understand that times are bad and students are having trouble. There’s no reason for us to get mam-moth raises,” he said, “but don’t try to kill us.”

One untenured teacher, who requested his name be withheld, found the whole process to be disappointing and sad. He said, “We are trying to stay where we are at and not lose. It’s not like we are doing this for the

money. We do it because we love the students and we’d like to love the univer-sity. What the administra-tion doesn’t get is that their workers want them to suc-ceed.”

The contract they settled on Sunday, September 11th will include a pay freeze for the fi rst year, a 2% salary increase for the second year, a 1.5% salary increase for the third year and 2% salary increases for the fourth and fi fth year. The faculty re-turned to the classroom on Monday, September 12th.

“We have reached a fair and equitable agreement that is in the best interest of our campus community,” said Dr. Paul Forestell, pro-vost of the C.W. Post Cam-pus. “We look forward to renewing our collaboration with faculty to serve the academic needs of our stu-dents.”

The parishioners of the Community Unit-ed Methodist Church of East Norwich kept the tradition going by holding their 53rd annual Frank Russo Memorial Chicken Bar-B-Q on Saturday, September 10th. Partici-pants enjoyed an eat-in or take-out dinner of half a chicken, corn-on-the cob, home-made potato salad, a roll and watermelon plus ice tea, coffee or water all for the bar-gain price of $12 ($7 for a kids 1/4 chicken portion). All proceeds went towards the church’s programs.

The event is named after the late Frank Russo who died in 1992. Russo was a long time parishioner who always worked the Chicken Bar-B-Q and volunteered his time helping the church with various events and activities.

“It’s a honor to hold this in Frank’s name. It’s a nice family event where everybody comes together and we enjoy each other’s company,” said widow Virginia Russo. “The good Lord is with us because the weather is beautiful this year.”

Mark Maloney, Ken Nastri, John DeBel-lis and Curt Velsor, who cooked and basted the chicken in its secret sauce, were work-ing the grill. “The sauce gives the chicken a nice fl avor. We guard the recipe like Coca-Cola does,” said Velsor. “Nothing much has changed in 53 years.”

In addition to the Chicken Bar-B-Q the

church also holds a bake sale, run by Vir-ginia Russo, Linda Gier and Barbara DiGi-ulio, featuring home baked goods made bythe parishioners plus a white elephant sale offering books, toys, jewelry and more.

The church is located on the corner ofRoute 106 and Vernon Ave. Visit: www.east-norwichcumc.com or call 516-922-0133.

The Teaching Studios of Art, located at 115 Au-drey Avenue in Oyster Bay, held its inaugural Plein Air Competition at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in Cove Neck on September 9th-10th. Thirty-fi ve artists each picked a spot on the 83-acre landscape to focus on. The event concluded with an art exhibit of all the work at the Angela P. Koenig Center at the Oyster Bay Historical Society on Saturday evening, Septem-ber 10th. The event was re-scheduled due to Hurricane Irene.

Rob Zeller, Director of the Teaching Studios of Art, served as one of the judges along with Bennett Vadnais and Jane McGraw-Teubner. “Sagamore Hill is just a beautiful property that is huge with a lot of vistas for plein air painting. I want-ed to make a big splash in Oyster Bay because we are an Oyster Bay art school,” said Zeller. “From a histori-cal perspective, Theodore Roosevelt was responsible for the National Park Ser-vice, which is a huge boon to plein air painting. It was a nice tie-in plus people were inspired by the topography.”

Superintendent of Saga-more Hill Tom Ross was quite impressed by the re-sults from the competition. “It’s very interesting to see the different takes on the property - the house, the windmill, the beach, etc. The house is extremely im-portant but the entirety of the landscape is amazing. There are many facets cap-tured in these paintings,” Ross said.

Winner in the oil divi-sion was Cesar Santos of Brooklyn who did a paint-ing called, “Beach at a Saga-more Hill,” featuring the weeds growing wild on the beach.

“I love the simplicity of

the composition. The loca-tion was perfect for using different textures with the sand and the grass,” said Santos. “I like playing with the light choosing what to use and what to avoid.”

The winner of the pastel division was Janet Angela Cook of Manhattan, who teaches for the Pastel Soci-ety of America. Her piece, called “Marshes,” features the way light bounces off the color of the marshes. The piece took her three hours in the hot sun to per-fect.

The acrylic winner was Loraine Volz of Hicksville for her work, “Beech at Sag-amore,” which featured the beech tree around the back of TR’s house. “I love beech

trees plus I loved the colors of the home. Being there I felt very close to Teddy Roosevelt,” said Volz, who is a student at the Teaching Studios of Art. The piece took her over 12 hours to complete in the course of two days.

The Grand Prize Winner was David Paulsen of Wa-termill who capture Best-in-Show with his oil painting simply titled, “Sagamore Hill.” The painting features an array of trees in a pan-oramic view. “The land-scape is beautiful because it’s got some depth to it,” he said. “It’s rather distinct with some nice old trees.”

Locust Valley’s Opera-tion Democracy in conjunc-tion with the Locust Valley Chamber of Commerce held a free concert in Thomas Park on Sunday, Septem-ber 11th called “Music for Peace.” The event is part of the cultural program Sister Cities International, which promotes peace.

“This movement started nine years ago by Sister Cit-ies International as a way of fi lling the sky with music for peace,” said LV Chamber President Kaye Weninger. “There’s no agenda behind this. There’s over 250 towns across America doing the same thing today.”

The featured act in the program was Rob Baione of West Islip who plays ev-erything from Dave Mat-thews Band to Metallica. He is known for his gigs at the Library Café in Farmingdale and the Fatfi sh Bar & Bistro in Bay Shore.

Baione played a wide variety of selections such as Frank Sinatra’s “Sum-mer Wind” to “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles to an instrumental version of Leonard Cohen’s “Halle-lujah.” People causally lis-tened while they picnicked and children played in the background.

OPINIONEDITORIAL

Keep kids safe on their way to and from school

In days past, parents used to be able to send their children off to school with-out a second thought about whether

they would return safely. And while children are still in good hands during class time, there are dangers that they face outside school that parents should be aware of.

With classes back in ses-sion, it’s important for par-ents and non-parents alike to make sure they have chil-dren’s safety in mind, espe-cially when they’re behind the wheel.

There’s no mistaking school buses for anything else on the road: The yellow be-hemoths take up so much space that they’re virtually impossible to miss. The students stepping off of those buses, however, are a different story. Drivers need to be cog-nizant of where buses are stopping and to give them their undivided attention when students are getting out.

It’s not just coincidence that buses use a light system similar to traffi c lights. When a bus is preparing to stop, it fl ashes yellow lights. When it is stopped, the lights are red. Not only is it illegal to pass a bus whose door is open and whose red lights are fl ash-ing — from either direction — but it can put children’s lives in danger. Breaking the law may get you where you’re going a min-ute or two sooner, but it’s not worth the risk. Stay at least 20 feet from a stopped, red-fl ashing bus.

If your children ride a bus, remind them that they should always cross in front of it, where the bus driver can see them — and

where other drivers expect them to be.As often as we may tell them to look both

ways when they cross the street, children don’t always listen, so driv-ers in areas where there are schools must be extra vigilant. And parents must remind their children that they should cross the street only at intersections or crosswalks.

If your kids walk to school, make sure they use crosswalks where there are crossing guards. If you can’t walk with them, plan a specifi c route for them

to take to the bus stop or school, so you’ll always know where they should be on the way there or back. Their route should cross as few streets as possible and, if possible, avoid busy streets.

Drivers need to be observant not only when there are buses on their routes, but whenever they are in or near a school zone. Obeying posted school-zone speed limits may make you feel like you’re slowing to a crawl, but you’ll endanger the children gathered there, as well as your driving re-cord, if you ignore them. Pay extra close attention during the hours when school is starting or letting out.

Given the hectic pace at which we live these days, and the distractions and dan-gers our children face when they leave for school, it is more important than ever that we take all necessary precautions to keep them safe. The back-to-school season should be a fun time for them, and it’s up to the rest of us to make sure that getting to school, and getting home, are danger-free.

An Oyster Bay woman was arrested for aggra-vated cruelty to animals on September 5th, after suf-focating a dog in Franklin Square.

According to detectives from the Nassau County Police Department’s 5th Precinct, Nicole Ottaiano, 20, of Oyster Bay, tied two cloth hair ties around a dog’s muzzle and sat on top of a sheet that was covering him, suffocating the animal, while she was staying at a home on Barnes Street in Franklin Square.

The owner of the dog, who lives at the Franklin Square home, said he saw Ottaiano, who was playing on a bed with his dog Jack-pot, an 11-year-old shep-herd mix, put the hair ties around its muzzle. He told her to remove them, he re-

counted, and then went to a different part of the house for about 20 minutes.

When the man returned, he found Ottaiano on a blanket on the bed and dis-covered his other dog, Little, an 11-year-old Staffordshire terrier, under the blanket with two hair ties around his muzzle not breathing. He attempted to revive the dog, to no avail. Jackpot did not suffer any permanent injuries.

The 5th Precinct did not offer any details about the relationship between Ot-

taiano and the FranklinSquare man, but, detectivessaid, she had been living athis home for the past fi ve months.

Ottaiano was chargedwith aggravated cruelty to animals, and arraignedon Sept. 6th at First Dis-trict Court in Hempstead.According to Chris Munz-ing, a spokesman for Nas-sau County District Attor-ney Kathleen Rice, her bailwas set at $5,000. She hasno prior record in NassauCounty, and was represent-ed by the Legal Aid Societyof Nassau County.

Munzing said that Ot-taiano’s charge is a ClassE felony, which carries amaximum sentence of 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison. Sheappeared in court on Sep-tember 8th for an attorneyconference, he said, addingthat it will likely take sever-al months before a hearing is scheduled in the case.

It’s that time again in the village of Bayville when things start to get a bit scary as Bayville Fire Company #1 continues the tradition of holdings its legendary Haunted Firehouse, open-ing Friday, Oct. 7th at 7 PM.

This event, which serves as a fundraiser for the fi re company, is done with a combined effort of commu-nity volunteerism and inno-vative creativity. The adven-ture features near 60 live action participants waiting to frighten every person who dares to come through.

The Long Island Region of the Horse-less Carriage Club of America and the National Park Ser-vice held its annual Pre-World War II Antique Car Show at President Theo-dore Roosevelt’s Cove Neck home, Sagamore Hill Na-tional Historic Site on Sunday, Septem-ber 11th. The show featured Pre-World War II vehicles and attracted car collec-tors from all over Long Island.

John P. Judge of North Babylon showed off his re-cently obtained 1916 REO Model F, which he found through a car show. “These cars are very unique. The simplicity is their genius,” said Judge, who is a for-mer diesel mechan-ic. “It’s was so exper-imental at the time. Everything that was in them was new. It was advanced for their time.”

But it wasn’t smooth sailing for Judge from the be-ginning. The engine was ceased, the brakes were shot and the tires were worn out. It took him three months just to break the en-gine free. “Now it runs great and starts up every time,” he said. “I get 20 miles to the gallon so I can’t complain.”

He also bought a REO truck, which is currently in pieces. “That’s my retire-ment project,” he added.

Ed Virgilio of Alb-ertson was beaming with pride over his 1912 Ford Speedster, which he bought a year ago. “A young fellow built this car in his garage in Mal-verne. I was fortu-nate enough to talk him out of it,” he said. “It’s funny what money will do.”

The automobile came with a spot-light and monocle-racing windshield. The car was com-pletely refurbished and in perfect con-dition when he pur-chased it. “All I do is polish it and clean

it,” Virgilio said. “I drive it all over. In the morning on the way to shows, when there’s no traffi c ev-erybody loves you. On the way home in the afternoon I hear a lot of four letter words because I’m holding up traffi c. My top speed is 33 mph.”

Steve Gittelman of Huntington heard about the car show through friends. His 1926 Stutz Speed-ster - a 4-seater with 8 cylinders - was purchased on Ebay. Gittelman purchased it because it was Cornelius Vander-bilt’s car.

“He’s the Vander-bilt gave up money for love,” said Git-telman, who is writ-

ing a book on Van-derbilt’s life. “As a wedding present his father wrote him out of his will and he was thrown out of the family.”

In terms of driv-ing, the car needed some help. “It’s cool to drive around like Cornelius. How-ever, you have to wear a raincoat be-cause it shoots out anti-freeze. It runs great for about a mile,” said Gittel-man, “She’s got a lot of heart and a lot of soul. She picks up real fast.”

Commemorative plaques were issued to fi rst 100 vehicles that entered the gate but there was no ve-hicle judging at the show.

Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay opened its new exhibit, “A Scrap-Book for the Ages: Four Generations of Alices,” cen-tered on the lives of four women named Alice in the Weekes family on Saturday, September 10th. The museum kicked off the weekend with a cocktail reception on Friday evening, September 9th in the Victo-rian Garden for its supporters.

The basis for the exhibit is the Weekes family scrapbook where the museum’s fa-mous George Washington letter was found in. “The more we looked at the scrapbook we realized that it is about more than the George Washington letter,” said museum director Harriet Gerard Clark. “There’s an amazing treasure of documents in that scrapbook including autographs from Wil-liam Wordsworth, John James Audubon and Theodore Roosevelt, poetry by Alice Delano and drawings of Oyster Bay by John Abeel Weekes.”

The Weekes were one of the founding families of Oyster Bay. The inscription at the front of the scrapbook reads from Al-ice Russell Howland Delano (1806-1834) handed down to her daughter Alice Ha-thaway Delano Weekes (1827-1917) and to her daughter Alice Delano Weekes (1878-1949).

Raynham Hall made sure to include the fourth Alice – Alice Delano Weekes (1901-1964), who was completely deaf and danced in the Michel Fokine Dance Company. “We couldn’t leave her out because she’s a great mystery and had a wonderful personality. Plus she’s related to the Roosevelts,” said Clark.

In addition to the scrapbook and its vari-ous documents on display, Raynham Hall presented Alice Hathaway Delano Weekes’ wedding dress in the exhibit. “When she

was 16 she wrote a valentine to John Abeel Weekes, which was pretty daring at the time but it was a leap year and apparently back then during leap years girls are allowed to do that,” said Clark. “Three years later theymarried at age 20. She moved to New Bed-ford and would summer in Oyster Bay.”

The story of the four Alices presents a lo-cal connection that people can follow with a timeline. “I hope it will be as much fun for people to see as it was for us to put it together,” said Clark. “All four Alices had tremendously different life experiences. History is the real reality show. You justhave to use your imagination instead of the television.”

Raynham Hall Museum, located at 50 West Main St. in Oyster Bay, is open Tues-day-Sunday, 1-5 PM. For info., call 516-922-6808 or visit: raynhamhallmuseum.org.

was the day a piece of our hearts were taken, never to be whole again. Ten years may have past but the pain of losing you only grows stronger. We love you with all our broken hearts.”

Rosemary Cain, mother of fi re-fi ghter George Cain, announced, “George, your light still shines brightly. Memories of you keep your spirit alive. We will never forget you.”

Vicki Tureski, sister-in-law of victim Steve Pollicino, said “Steve, there are no words to explain what it’s like to live without you. Ten days, ten months, ten years, it doesn’t seem to get any better. We just plain miss you. The sound of your absence is louder than any sound I’ve ever heard.”

Barbara Hoerner, widow of vic-tim Ronald Hoerner, stated, “Ron you are my hero and my soulmate. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. You are always in our hearts - always remembered, never forgotten.”

LOCUST VALLEY

The Locust Valley community gathered on the corner of Weir Lane and the entrance of Thomas Park parking lot on Friday, Sep-tember 9th to dedicate and unveil a new memorial in remembrance of the 9/11 victims.

The memorial consists of two 7-foot replicas of the Twin Towers made out of Grigio Sardo Gran-ite, which were designed, built and donated by Anna Villella (nee Gallo) of Cosmo Tile & Stone and Mario and Joe Gallo of Forest Iron Works.

The Gallo family has been working on plans for this proj-ect the past few years with the help of LV Chamber President Kaye Weninger. She, in turn, has worked with the Town of Oyster Bay to make the project a reality.

“We join together to remember and honor the men and women who lost their lives on that tragic day. It has been an honor for my family to be involved in this spe-cial memorial project. My dad had the plan for many years and said it would get done,” said Villella.

The towers are placed in a gar-den surrounded by four new trees and three park benches, plantings and bushes plus a fl agpole donat-ed by various local organizations, businesses and families of the vic-tims including the Locust Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Locust Valley Rotary, Matinecock Neigh-borhood Association, Operation Democracy and the Locust Valley Fire Department.

TOWN OF OYSTER BAY

Hundreds gathered at TOBAY Beach, east of Jones Beach off the Wantagh Parkway, for the Town of Oyster Bay’s annual 9/11 cer-emony, which specifi cally focuses on the 90 residents from the Town who lost their lives in the 9/11 ter-rorist attacks ten years ago. This year’s standing-room-only event was held on Friday evening, Sep-tember 9th.

This year, the memorial was enhanced with new lighting and was bookended by two new wa-ter fountains and the crowd was bigger than ever. TOB Supervi-sor John Venditto went out of his way to set the tone for the evening making everyone feel comfort-able.

“This is your night, this is your

beach and this is your memorial,” the Supervisor said. “You are free do as you feel. If you feel like laughing, let out a laugh. If you feel like crying, shed a tear. You are home.”

The Supervisor explained that he is often asked what makes the Town’s memorial different from all the others. He stated, “This memorial was created by each and every one of you. It’s distinctive because it is very personal.”

Members of the Oyster Bay Town Board as well as the Town Clerk and Receiver of Taxes ven-tured into the crowd to light resi-dents’ memorial candles while Venditto opened the mic to fam-ily and friends who cared to share thoughts on the loved ones they lost.

Grace McKenna, fi ancée of vic-tim Lester Marino, said, “Every year I come to this memorial site sad and with a heavy heart. For the nine years that I knew Lester, I had a wonderful life. But I cannot erase what happened I can only acknowledge it. Today I choose to live with the glass half full under partly sunny skies. I’m grateful for all the memories I have.”

Melissa Pascuma-Gangi, daugh-ter of victim Michael John Pascu-ma, Jr., said, “Ten years ago I was forced into a life that I didn’t want

and never expected. The pain is still so strong and it’s hard to wrap my mind around the tragedy that happened in our world. The sad-ness in my heart will never go away. When I see images of that day it is hard for me to breathe. When I saw that tall tower crum-ble to the ground my happiness went with it. The anger and sad-ness that I feel then and now is indescribable.”

Fireman Bill Gleason, friend and colleague of victim Chief Pe-ter J. Ganci Jr., told the crowd, “Every day we step in harms way to save people. On 9/11, it wasn’t every day. That day we put others before ourselves. We stepped into harms way knowing we might pay the ultimate price. Unfortunately, we lost hundreds of rescuers then and have lost hundreds since. These are people who step for-ward to protect you. We did it for you and without hesitation. That’s our legacy to you.”

OYSTER BAY

State Senator Carl L. Marcellino led Oyster Bay’s commemoration at the Western Waterfront 9/11 memorial in Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park on Saturday morn-ing, September 10th.

Addressing the crowd that

gathered in front of the memo-rial on West End Avenue, Senator Marcellino announced, “Through-out our history there are certain dates we will never forget. At the 46th minute, eighth hour of the 11th day of September of 2001, no one will forget where they were on that day.”

As the Senator spoke, his tone became intense and his volume increased. “At that moment in time we saw pure evil in its raw-est form. The worst of humanity occurred at that moment. Those planes maliciously fl ew into the towers to harm innocent people who did nothing but go to work that day,” he said. “I’ve heard people talk about how we should put it in out of our minds and set everything at peace. But I simply can’t do it. Every time I think of it or see an image of it, I get angry and I want to stay angry because I don’t want to ever forget what happened on that day.”

Marcellino explained that while we saw the worst of humanity, we also saw the best. “When people were running away from those burning towers, our fi rst respond-ers were running in carrying gear to protect and save people they didn’t know. They had to know that they might not come back,” the Senator said.

“Those terrorists tried to de-stroy this country by breaking our will and our spirit. But theydid not succeed, will not succeed and cannot succeed because this country and its people are thebest thing to ever happen to thisplanet,” Marcellino continued.

The event concluded with thededication and blessing of a sec-tion of a beam from the WorldTrade Center obtained by the At-lantic Steamer Fire Company #1.

LOCUST VALLEY MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL

Locust Valley Middle/High School student body and faculty gathered on the athletic fi eld to hold “9/11: A Ten Year Tribute”on Monday morning, September 12th.

Students Laura Doukas, Matt Higgins, Taylor White, Doug Ed-wins, Richard Wallace, Rachel Doukas and Cassandra Vargas spelled out “Never Forget” and “9-11” with thousands of miniature American fl ags representing the 2,979 lives lost ten years ago on September 11, 2001.

Senior Laura Doukas was over-come by the fact that the innocentvictims never imagined that day would be the last time they would see their families. “I was in secondgrade on September 11, 2001. To think that I was worried about what games I was going to play at recess that day while people in-side the World Trade Center weredeciding who would be the lastperson that they would call,” she said. “With fl ames surrounding them they were deciding whether or not they should stay there orjump from the towers in a lasthope to save themselves. It causesme to think about how importantlife is and how we need to appreci-ate and cherish each other.”

Senior Kenneth Syrett is the sonof a New York City fi refi ghter from Engine 205 who shared his verypersonal experience with 9/11.

“When I saw the replay of the planes going into tower the fi rstthing that went through my mind was: where’s my dad? He and his brother went in late that day be-cause they weren’t supposed towork but they were called in. I didn’t know where he was and Icouldn’t contact him – he didn’t have a cell phone plus all the net-works were down,” he said. “From then on every time he’d work a 24-hour shift, I had to call him beforeI went to bed and just as I woke up. I couldn’t sleep without know-ing he was OK. Still today I feel on edge when he goes in but I’mextremely proud to know that he was there helping others.”

LVHS Alum Marc Taddonio, Class of ’81, of Old Brookville cameto speak to the students about his brother Michael, Class of ’80, who was a victim of 9/11. He explained how he took in his brothers’ three kids and he was overwhelmed by the local support he received from his friends and neighbors.

“I realized that people care about those around them. It’s what we call a sense of community. Ev-eryone wanted to and needed to do something for us. For months I saw high school friends, peers and rela-tives getting things done for us,” Taddonio said. “Look around you. Your friends are important and always will be. I saw the best in people during a horrible time. We live in a world where people care. I truly appreciate my community and I love the people in it.”

SPORTS

OUT IN RIGHT FIELDBy Jeff Davis

Falcons soar in openerMatt McFarland, coaching his fi rst game as a head coach, saw his Locust Valley Falcons

defeat the big and tough Mineola Mustangs 26-6. The Locust Valley team ranked third in the Conference lived up to their ranking with this victory. This year’s Falcons have a core of tall receivers surrounding senior quarterback Joe Jacobi. The strong-armed quarterback at

6’ enjoys the luxury of being able to throw to wide receiver Alex Rawa at 6’4” and ends Ryan Paniagua, 6’2” and Tom McNamara, 6’2” who have speed, size and great hands. For most teams that would be enough but the Falcons also have another wide receiver in Tom Nastasi, 6’2” who has “fl ypaper” hands and great football sense as well as terrifi c natural ability. These four young men also play defense better than they play offense. This is one of the rea-sons the Falcons will be tough for any opponent to face.

The scoring opened with Jacobi, who was 6 for 10 for the day, hitting Paniagua with a 10-yard pass for the score. The Falcons followed this up with a second touchdown off the option. Jacobi handed off to fullback Nick West, who knows how to run north to south and moved through the middle for a 31-yard touch-down. Both extra points were true as Bradley Conn’s kicks fl ew through the uprights. Special teams contributed with the third LV touchdown.

The Mustangs had scored and McFarland teaches that you al-ways come back when something goes wrong. Mineola kicked off and Callum “Mercury” Ewen returned it 82 yards for a touch-down. Ewen not only went through the Mustangs but his high-light can only be shown in slow motion because at normal speed it was a blur. The fi nal score came in the fourth quarter when tailback Chris Appel motored over from the 2-yard line.

The Falcons’ offensive line lead by guards Louis Falciano and Marlon Maldonado, tack-les Bobby Bleistein and Kevin Reiger were tough all day. When they were pass blocking, Jacobi had plenty of time and that was key to this victory. Coach McFarland in an inter-view after the game was most excited about the defense. Reiger held the inside and had 5 individual tackles. Nastasi at cornerback was everywhere. His hits were hard and he consistently stopped the Mustangs’ passing game.

McFarland was particularly impressed by his two sophomore inside linebackers. Matt Vezza is quick and fearless in his tackling and big John Piscitello is also quick and his strength for a young man is Herculean. Throughout the game he shed blockers and with Vezza made sure no one could move up the middle. McFarland also had praise for Bobby Heney on special teams.

Bayhawks lose hard fought gameSt. Dominic High School opened their second season of football hosting a night game

against the very able and tough Bishop Ford High School. The Bayhawks were defeated 36-26 in a game that was exciting from start to fi nish.

Head Coach Tore Barbaccia, who is charged with rebuilding the St. Dom’s program, is very proud of this young team, which only has six upper classmen and is predominantly made of sophomores and freshmen. The Bishop Ford team is one of the better Catholic League small school teams and these young Bayhawks did not give an inch.

The scoring started on a quick drive from the 4-yard line by Chris Volberg. The Bay-hawks, who utilize a two-quarterback system, had great results from both Marc Flynn and Matthew Cafi ero. In setting up the second score, Flynn threw a perfect pass to Dan Hopkins. The 40-yard plus pass was followed up when Flynn was fl ushed from the pocket, kept his wits about him and ran in for the score. This tall young man is only a sophomore but conducts himself like a seasoned veteran. Hopkins kept the Bayhawks in the game when he returned a kick-off for a St. Dom’s score. Hopkins’ return was fun to watch and had the large crowd on its feet. Ryan Perkins had the fi nal St. Dominic’s touchdown with a nifty run.

Coach Barbaccia was very proud of the effort put forth by this young squad. This is a team that will be seeing many victories in future games and certainly in the years ahead.

Barbaccia also spoke about Chris Gillen the very talented linemen who broke his wrist. Losing a player of this quality is always diffi cult. He was having an outstanding game when the injury occurred.

Rams sink BaymenThe Oyster Bay High School Baymen were outsized and out gunned in their fi rst con-

test against the West Hempstead Rams. Head Coach Joe Knoll, who has been brought in to revive the Baymen football program, saw his team lose 41-14.

Knoll, who only dresses 23 players, gave an honest assessment of the game in a post interview. He indicated that there were many areas that can be improved. But overall he felt the student athletes certainly gave a great effort.

The Baymen’s touchdowns came in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Steven O’Neill passed to wide receiver Josh Ramos for a nice 46-yard play. The second came on a 1-yard run by Ki-Jama Walker-Michel. Ramos kicked both PATs.

Coach Knoll praised the play of Joe Collery at nose guard and James LaRusso at de-fensive end and at center. He also mentioned the injury of junior Zach Greenspan, who

unfortunately broke his arm and will be especially missed.

The Mill River Rod & Gun Club hosted its 12th annual Pat & Jimmy Carroll Children’s Snapper Derby on Saturday morning, September 10th at the West Harbor Beach dock in Bayville. The event is an end of the summer tradition in Bayville and the competition is friendly drawing a large crowd of local kids.

The Snapper Derby is named after the late Pat & Jimmy Carroll who were longtime members of the Club and fi shing enthusiasts. The Derby is run by their sons Steve and James Carroll of Bay-ville, who are two of the eight Car-roll children, in conjunction with the Club. Bait and fi shing poles were provided for participants.

The snappers weren’t abundant this year as they have been in the past. However, Marissa Dworken, 10, of Plainview not only caught a snapper but at the end of the con-test she surprisingly pulled up a cocktail bluefi sh.

After the fi shing was complete, the families went back to the Mill River Rod & Gun Club’s Clubhouse

where they were treated to Boar’s Head hot dogs, donated by Tom and Patti Craft, chips, soda and

ice pops.Prizes were awarded to: Boys’

First Place winners Colby Santoro and Nicholas Capozzi (tie) who caught two fi sh each and Boys’ Second Place winners were Steve Kiernan, Peter Rodriguez, Bran-don Warren and Nicholas Amen-dolara who caught one fi sh each

(no third place winner). Girls’ First Place winners were Lauren Brown and Giovanna Veteritti who caught two fi sh each. Girls’ Sec-ond Place winners were Marissa Dworken, Samantha Amendol-ara and Kaylee Waage who each caught one fi sh. They all received fi shing equipment as a reward.
