Serving the Bellmores since 1964

by Dylan Campbell

After months of preparation the Kennedy HighSchool Drama Club pulled out yet another successfulproduction. This past weekendthree perfect performances of“Urinetown” graced theKennedy stage.

After six days of intense workdeemed “Hell Week,” and monthsof line memorization and setbuilding the show was ready.

“Urinetown,” an hilarious taleof revolution that borrows fromseveral theatrical classics, isbased on a small town plagued with a 20-year drought.Under the rein of a monopolistic business makingmoney off a pay-to-pee system, a poor custodian andrich daughter of the monopoly owner find love and pas-sion in the heat of revolution.

The story was pulled off adroitly not only by the pas-sionate lead characters of Bobby Strong and Hope

Cladwell (played by Skylar Rudolfsky and SarahLermsider) but by the audience also engaging with LittleSally and Officer Lockstock (played by Carly Aielloand Austin Koenigstien) – along with the rest of the fine

Kennedy cast.The show provided a

metaphoric plot line in additionto song, dance and banteralong with the perpetual outfitchanges of Jake Sachs as Mr.McQueen.

There was continual juxta-position of comedic reliefalongside the tragic plot line. Itwas a flawless production of a

play borne from the hard work of cast, crew and DanielSheffield – the director – that truly paid off.

Showgoer William Goedel said, “I thought it was thebest show Kennedy has ever put on! It kept me laughingevery minute. The talent was phenomenal! Job well doneby cast and crew!”

During closing arguments at last week’s zoning Boardof Appeals hearing on a special exception request byNorth Shore Farms to open a supermarket at 2520Jerusalem Avenue, attorneys for both the supermarketand community members opposed to it clashed on howmuch traffic would increase in the neighborhood withthe inclusion of North Shore Farms supermarket.

Steve Schneider, engineer and traffic expert for attor-ney Jeff Toback, representing many community mem-bers, said in his report it would increase by 16%.

“Where did you get that number?” Attorney BillBonesso, attorney for North Shore Farms, asked. “From the state,” Mr. Schneider replied. “The state?”Mr. Bonesso responded. “Yes,” Mr. Schneiderreplied again.

Moments earlier Wayne Muller, traffic expert for Mr.Bonesso, had provided calculations that drew the con-clusion there would be no more than 1% growth in traf-fic yearly at that intersection.

Conservative traffic growth?Mr. Muller had rounded up to the 1% figure based on

a conservative state Department of Transportation fig-ure of .6% yearly traffic increase at the intersection ofJerusalem Avenue and Pea Pond Road.

Mr. Schneider and Mr. Bonesso also clashed in theirclosing arguments on whether traffic would increase ifthe 18,118-square-foot building North Shore Farmswants to lease was divided into smaller square footageareas and leased to other retailers.

“There may be more traffic, there may be less traffic,”Mr. Schneider answered.

Mr. Muller had spoken during his testimony dis-cussing several scenarios to compare traffic volumein single-use (supermarket) settings, and multiple-usesettings, in which there were several retailers in thebuilding.

North Shore Farms seeks a specialexception use to open the supermar-ket in a building larger than 9,300square feet. The store would operatefrom 6 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, and 6a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, and providefresh produce, fresh fish, deli-

catessen foods and a wide assortmentof other specialty items.

The supermarket would employ25-40 full-time employees, and sev-eral part-time employees.

The parking lot would hold 84-86parking spaces for vehicles. 12,000

square feet of the building would beused for retail, and the other 6,000square feet or more would be usedfor food preparations and storage.

Approximately 10 box truckswould deliver goods each day, withno more than four tractor-trailersdelivering goods each week. Trailerswould not be allowed to remain onpremises, said Mr. Bonesso.

He told Board of Appeals membersthat any refuse would be storedinside the building, and would beplaced into outside dumpsters onlyon the mornings of pickup. He notedthat North Shore Farms wasamenable to changing delivery timesto meet community requests.

He added that the firm brings inexterminators twice weekly to sprayfor all manner of insects and rodents.

A drive-thru window, opened whenthe property was operated by Rite-Aid, would be removed.

$117,100 are paid each year intaxes on the property, of which 60%goes to the North Bellmore School

District.Board Chairman Dave Weiss of

Bellmore told those at the hearing thatthose taxes are paid each year by theowner, whether the building is occu-pied or not.

The westernmost driveway onJerusalem Avenue would allow forentries into the property from bothdirections, but only a right turn whenleaving. There would be no left turnonto Jerusalem Avenue.

The northernmost driveway on PeaPond Road will be an entry only, anda right turn out only. The southern-most driveway on Pea Pond Roadwill be for both entries and exits.

There are discussions about “strip-ing” a left-turn lane onto JerusalemAvenue from Pea Pond, and gettingthe state Department ofTransportation to delay traffic lighttiming changes during Saw MillRoad closing times to accommodatefor more school traffic as it leavesthe area. – Douglas Finlay

Added audience member ThomasMistretta, “The musical was excellent, youcould tell how much work went into it.”

Skylar Rudolfsky – as Bobby Strong –told this newspaper, “This was my firstKennedy production, which is kind of bit-tersweet. Althought I’m so happy to havemade the decision to audition and be partof this, I wish I had more time to be indrama. Mr. Sheffield made a brilliantchoice in the show. It’s an incredible,refreshing musical and I feel it helpeddraw a big audience just out of curiosity.

Lots of people thought, ‘what isUrinetown?’ which is actually a title ofone of the numbers.

“This was, for most people, the firsttime they saw Urinetown, and I think wedid a great job introducing it to them. Iloved playing the role of Bobby Strong,and it will forever remain and unforget-table experience.

“I’m so grateful to everyone involvedin the show. I can’t wait to see whatKennedy drama has in store.”

It was another trendsetting perform-ance for the Kennedy Drama Club.

‘Urinetown’ is a hit

Mr. Muller said calculations fromthe state DOT and the Institute ofTraffic Engineers (ITE) TripGeneration Ninth Edition lead to theconclusion that multiple tenants –such as ‘mom and pops’– for theproperty would generate more trafficat that location.

This conclusion is an importantargument for Mr. Bonesso in seekinga permit for North Shore Farms tolease the property.

Mr. Bonesso asked Mr. Schneiderwhat Trip Generation edition he wasusing. “The eighth edition,” Mr.Schneider said. “Why the eighth edi-tion?” Mr. Bonesso shot back.“Because that’s what was on my com-puter,” Mr. Schneider answered.

In 2004 the town ruled no storeslarger than 9,300 feet could open ontwo-lane highways without first beingadjudicated by the zoning Board ofAppeals for the exception.

Pattern of exceptionsBarry Nelson, real estate expert for

North Shore Farms, testified that severalof the businesses along Jersalem Avenue,such as a dry cleaner, a garage station anda Dunkin’ Donuts, had been grantedexceptions to operate. He called it a“Pattern of exceptions.”

During cross examination Mr.Schneider asked what a pattern ofexceptions was supposed to mean.“To show there is harmony of useamong the businessses in the neigh-borhood,” Mr. Bonesso said.

Mr. Nelson also noted “An A&P super-

market had operated there until 1999.”Mr. Muller said his comprehensive

traffic study over three days (Monday,Thursday and Saturday) in Januaryshowed that only three children wereobserved crossing Jerusalem Avenueafter school. “There were 23 schoolbuses traveling in the area after schoollet out,” he said.

He concluded that whatever theproperty would be used for in thefuture would have some impact on theneighborhood – and the intersection.

Many in favor, many are notMr. Bonesso said he visited with the

Forest City Community Association,comprising neighbors living in thenortheast quadrant at JerusalemAvenue and Oakfield Avenue. Hereported that 351 voted at a meeting infavor of the supermarket, while 18were opposed.

During Mr. Toback’s cross-examina-tion of Mr. Muller, he raised Mr.Muller’s assertion that there were nomore than four accidents a year at theintersection.

Mr. Toback then asked Mr.Schneider how many accidents hadhappened on Jerusalem Avenuebetween Pea Pond Road and HarrisonStreet in the same time period.

“Twenty-two accidents,” Mr.Schneider said. Harrison Street is onlytwo blocks west of Pea Pond Road.

During final summations, Mr.Toback asked the board for time to

bring in a petition he said had 851 sig-natures opposed to the supermarket.He was granted the time.

Patricia Kaplan, living on RogerRoad – a small road leading into thethe athletic field – implored the boardto consider that 11 children live on theblock next to the supermarket, andtheir safety was a concern.

“I can’t even make a left turn ontoJerusalem Avenue because of the traf-fic now,” she said with emotion.

She reminded the board that duringsummer the athletic fields are in use allday, creating traffic hazards andnowhere for her or other families onthe block to park.

Several members of the WantaghChamber of Commerce were seen fil-ing into the hearing to sign a petitionagainst the supermarket opening.

Meanwhile, Bellmore Life’s face-book pages recorded tens of residentsin favor of the new supermarket.

Let’s hit the reset button on zero tolerance

by Lynda Bekore

Just shoot me.That was the highly ironic phrase that first popped into my head

when I recently read of the 7-year-old boy in Maryland, suspendedfrom school for saying “bang” after realizing that the Pop-Tart hewas trying to nibble into a mountain came to resemble a gun.

Just shoot me, as in “spare us another incident of zero-tolerance poli-cies run amok,” like the other recent example of a 5-year-old girl sus-pended for talking about shooting her Hello Kitty soap bubble gun.

Just shoot me, because I can’t comprehend intelligent, experiencedadults replacing their natural common sense with false, and potentiallylong-term harmful, punitive action in the name of political correctness.

If you think these are isolated incidents, try googling “zero toler-ance.” You’ll get over 38 million hits. 94% of our schools have zerotolerance for weapons and 88% for drugs, which includes over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin or Tylenol, according to the U.S.Department of Education. The vast majority of punishments for anyinfraction, minor or major, are suspension or expulsion. No firmstatistics are available for the number of students affected, but it’sestimated to be in the thousands.

For any student, the stigma and shame of a school suspension canbe emotionally life-altering; for older students, suspensions becomepart of their permanent record, adversely affecting their chances ofacceptance to college.

Most experienced principals would usually not choose to suspend astudent for anything but egregious misconduct, or repeat bad behav-ior, instead opting for discipline more appropriate to that specific stu-dent or situation. But their hands are tied by the extreme limitations ofzero tolerance imposed by their school boards, who themselves feelconstrained by a litigious culture that demands expensive retributionfor any perceived slight to another child’s precious self-esteem.

We can all throw our hands up in the air or shrug our shoulders andtsk-tsk the silliness of “other” people’s narrow-minded lack of goodjudgment, or we can try to make it stop. Maryland state Senator J.B.Jennings recently introduced a bill, “The Reasonable School DisciplineAct of 2013,” which calls for clearer disciplinary guidelines at specificgrade levels for behavior that is not directly physically violent, such asnibbling a pastry into a gun, or talking about shooting bubbles from aHello Kitty bubble gun. While the bill has some pronounced weakness-es that need to be amended, such as assigning schools the Herculeantask of delineating and defining any and all types of infractions thatmight occur, its merit lies in its attempt at some return to flexibility andgood judgment over blind adherence to ineffective rules.

The idea of actually having to legislate common sense is almostKafka-esque in its absurdity, but this is what we’ve come to. Whenthings in our world go out of whack, we need to hit the reset buttonand sometimes the only reboot available when emotion replaceslogic in public policy is legislation.

Of course, there is another recourse, at least when it comes tolocal education policy. You don’t need to be an elected official toraise concerns, question the rules or simply have your voice heard.Have you attended a school board meeting lately? The power ofyour participation may just surprise you.

It was a moment right out of a Hollywoodmovie. John Larocchia of Bellmore pacedback and forth in a second-floor classroomat Mepham High School. He was waitingfor his sweetheart, Trisha Seminara; waitingfor her to appear so he could ask her tomarry him in the very spot their love affairsparked more than 10 years ago.

Over the school’s loudspeaker John heardtender strains of “Faithfully” by Journey; hestepped into the hallway. There she was,looking even more beautiful, more perfectthan when he first asked her to the seniorprom all those years ago.

He got down on his knee (his speech hadbeen memorized), pulled the ring from hispocket and asked her, “Will you marry me?”

The camera pulls in for a closeup ofTrisha’s face. She is smiling, but before shereplies, the scene fades.

Flash backThe year is 2003. It is early spring and

John Larocchia, then a senior at MephamHigh School, is hanging around afterschool waiting for Trisha Seminara. She isinvolved in the school’s science researchprogram and when she leaves the second-floor classroom there is John out in thehallway, ready to ask her out.

“On our first date we went to the movies.We saw ‘Ask Me if You Can,’” Trisha said.“Then we decided to go to the prom, datedall summer and as chance would have it, weboth ended up at Marist College.”

“It was not planned that way,” explainedJohn. “We knew we needed to make indi-vidual decisions and we did. But then wewere assigned to the same dorm in freshmanyear. We lived one floor apart from eachother. It was completely random, and yet itwas fate.”

The fates certainly seemed to play somerole in this love story. Although John andTrisha began dating in high school, they firstmet in sixth grade, both participants in theNorth Bellmore School District’s CreativeArts Program.

“I was kind of a goofy kid,” said John.“The summer going into seventh grade, Iwent to drama camp at Hofstra. I had want-ed to create this new persona for myself, butit turned out that we [he and Trisha] were the

only kids from CAP in [Hofstra’s] dramaprogram. Now it’s almost 20 years later andlook where we are.”

“We had mutual friends in high schooland started hanging out together in our jun-ior year,” explained Trisha. “Then we start-ed dating and have been together eversince.” Two months ago, Trisha and Johnmoved into an apartment in Baldwin.

“It’s been a long relationship,” sighedJohn. “While she was away junior year [atMarist College] in London I heard this song,‘Bless the Broken Road,’ and it stirredsomething in me, really pulled me. So I lis-tened to it again and again. I knew that eventhough she was far away, that she was theone for me. I knew I wanted 100% to bewith her forever,” he said. “I shared the songwith her and she loved it. It’s our song now.”

John wanted to get married sooner butfinancial circumstances made it impossi-ble. Then his luck changed.

“She was so supportive, really won-derful and understood that we had towait,” he said. “I told her maybe thissummer we’ll get engaged. She didn’tknow about my plan.”

The plan was two years in the making. But “Just around New Year’s this year Iput the plan together. On January 29, I satdown with Mr. [Michael] Harrington[principal of Mepham High School], thebest guy in the world, and told him what Iwanted to do,” said John.

“He was very supportive and said hewould help me. We looked at the calen-dar and picked a date – February 28.Then I spent every free moment gettingall the details together, along with helpfrom my sister.”

The plan“I didn’t have any idea what was going

on,” said Trisha. “He told me we had towait until July and I said okay. I guess I’measily tricked.”

Trisha received an email from BillLeacock, a longtime physics teacher atMepham High School who invited her toparticipate in a Career Night Program onFebruary 28; Trisha accepted the invitation.

That night at Mepham, Trisha made herway upstairs unaware of the surprise thatawaited her. She was accompanied by oneof her closest friends, Alex Valenti, who

knew precisely what was in store. Trishanoticed the classroom was dark but then, “Iheard the music; I saw John and I knew. Iwas freaking out. ‘No way, No way,’ I keptsaying.”

“It was a surreal moment,” said John.“When I saw her I knew everything wasright. It was an intimate moment, perfect,the best moment in my life so far.”

She said yes. They made their way downstairs to the

main lobby. There was another surprise forTrisha. John’s sister Christina Larocchia andher boyfriend Billy Ruvola (on a keyboard)sang their song, “Bless the Broken Road.”

Outside, a limousine was waiting for Johnand Trisha. The digital sign in front of the highschool (which Mr. Harrington had set up afterTrisha made her way inside) read,“Congratulations to John and Trisha.” Johnhanded his future bride a dozen roses and theyrode off into the future – or in this case to LaParma Restaurant in Oceanside, where the twofamilies were waiting for the happy couple.

“She is the most perfect girl for me. Wemet very early on but when you know, youknow. I’m marrying the love of my life, mybest friend,” said John.

Trisha laughed. “From the beginning Isaw how kind he is, how passionate, his loy-alty and the love he has for people. He’s justwonderful; he makes me laugh.

“Now I need to surprise him but I have awhole lifetime to figure it out,” she said.

“We are proud to support the annu-al scholarship program with the hope ofencouraging our students to pursue acareer in the water industry and are pas-sionate about sciences,” said WilliamVarley, president of New YorkAmerican Water, and chairman of theNew York Chapter of NAWC.

“The tremendous personal and pro-fessional growth shown by our previ-ous scholarship award recipientsensures a promising future for ournation’s water services.”

Students must meet certain criteria,including being a United States citizen, a

New York state resident for five years,and residing within New York AmericanWater’s service areas, including Baldwin,Baldwin Harbor, Bellmore, Merrick,Roosevelt, Seaford, Wantagh, and partsof North Bellmore and Levittown.

In his closing argument to allowNorth Shore Farms a special excep-tion use for the property at 2520Jerusalem Avenue as a supermar-ket, Bill Bonesso, attorney forNorth Shore Farms, referred to asimilar case that went before thestate Supreme Court concerningspecial uses vs. as-of-right uses.

As-of-right uses include usingproperty for restaurants and othersimilar retail uses.

The case, 7-Eleven v. Board ofTrustees of the IncorporatedVillage of Mineola, slip numberOp.09871 (2001) stated that“Where the denial of a special usepermit is based upon a claim oftraffic congestion, there must beevidence that the proposed usewould cause greater traffic conges-tion than as-of-right use.”

“Here,” continued the SupremeCourt opinion [in the case of 7-Eleven], “there was no evidencethat the petitioner’s proposed useof the property for a [conveniencestore] would have greater impacton traffic than an as-of-right use.”

Mr. Bonesso told this newspaper

the above case echoes precisely –and forcefully – the case withNorth Shore Farms, and that Mr.Toback and those for the opposi-tion cannot argue effectively thatthe North Shore Farms will haveany more impact on the neighbor-hood than any other retailer in thebuilding would.

But Mr. Toback told the boardthat in the Town of Hempstead’swisdom – after it had decided inthe 2004 case that buildings over9,300 square feet fronting two-laneroadways had to be argued beforethe Board of Appeals – it gave theboard the decision for appropriateuse of the property, including anunderstanding that more cars in thecommunity may mean more dangerfrom more accidents.

Mr. Toback reminded the boardthat research indicated that 22 acci-dents on a stretch of JerusalemAvenue within two blocks of theintersection – without an additoinalinflux of traffic for a new super-market that could increase trafficby up to 16% – is danger enough todeny the application. – D.F.

Dr. Leon Livingston, Dr. Douglas Livingston and theirassociates at Livingston Foot Care Specialists.

Do you suffer from a painful bunion? Now thereʼs a new techno-logically advanced surgical procedure that will allow you to walkimmediately after the procedure,with minimal down time, Nocrutches, no cast and early return to work. The surgeons atLivingston Foot Care specialists have extensive training andexperienced in this technologically advanced procedure.

A bunion is a poorly aligned big toe joint. The big toe may point to-ward the second toe causing a bump on the outside edge of thetoe. This poorly aligned joint will lead to many complications in-cluding arthritis including inflammatory or degenerative forms,causing the protective cartilage that covers your big toe joint todeteriorate. This is why it is important to treat your bunion de-formity.

Bunions are often caused by an inherited foot type, foot in-juries, and certain deformities and can be exacerbated byhigh heels or ill fitted shoes. This may lead to swelling, red-ness, or soreness around the big toe joint, thickening of theskin at the base of the big toe, corns or calluses, pain, andrestricted movement of the big toe. By pushing the big toeinward, a bunion can squeeze your other toes into abnor-mal positions. Over time, this crowding can lead to con-tractures the other toes known as hammertoes.

A bunion may be treated conservatively with suchmodalities as utilizing wider shoes with a higher toebox, paddings, strappings,ice, anti-inflammatorymedications, custom molded foot orthotics, and in-jection therapy, which can help alleviate the symp-toms associated with a bunion. If theseconservative modalities fail to resolve the symp-toms then surgical management is an optionand the new technology available today canfix this condition with minimal down timeand early return to work.

State of the art care in a state-of-the-art facility.

Keep the spring in your step – and arthritis awayby Drs. Leon and

Douglas Livingston

It’s that time of year again whenthe weather is changing from warmto cold and back to warm again.

As we move from winter to spring,the symptoms of arthritis intensifyand leave people in pain. Arthritis isan inflammation and swelling in thecartilage and lining of the joints, gen-erally accompanied by an increase injoint fluid. The foot contains 30joints, so it is not uncommon forarthritis to be found in the feet.

The Centers of Disease Controland Prevention identifies arthritis asthe most common cause of disabilityin the United States. It limits theactivities of many people, especiallywhen found in the foot and ankle.

There are different forms of arthri-tis that are found in the foot and

ankle. The most common form isosteoarthritis. It is often referred toas “degenerative joint disease” or“wear and tear arthritis.”

Unfortunately, as we age it causesa breakdown in cartilage and the paingets progressively worse. If you areexperiencing stiffness, swelling or adull, throbbing pain during the night,these may be symptoms ofosteoarthritis. Although there is nocure for osteoarthritis, there are dif-ferent treatments that can relieve thepainful symptoms.

Another form of arthritis is knownas rheumatoid arthritis. It is a majorcrippling disorder that can compro-mise the quality of life of those whoare affected by it. As the most seriousform of arthritis, it frequently affectsboth ankles and toes.

Symptoms may include pain,swelling, redness and stiffness in the

joints. There is no cure for rheumatoidarthritis, but there are various treat-ment options that can help control it.

Gout is a type of arthritis that caus-es a hot, burning sensation within thejoint accompanied by severe pain. Itis caused by the buildup of uric acidcrystals within a joint. This is mostcommonly found in the joint of thebig toe but it can also cause pain inthe ankles, knees, hands and wrists.

A gout attack can be caused bynumerous contributing factors, includ-ing the intake of alcohol, certain foodsand medications. Treatment is avail-able for those who experience a goutattack but if left untreated, the symp-toms will progressively worsen andresult in permanent damage and exqui-site pain.

Treatment options vary dependingon the type of arthritis. Some forms oftreatment for the foot and ankle

include, but are not limited to, physicaltherapy and exercise, anti-inflammato-ry medication and/or injection therapy.Orthotics or specially prescribed shoescan help relieve symptoms.

If you are experiencing early morn-ing stiffness, limitation in motion of ajoint, recurring pain or tenderness inthe joint, redness or heat in a joint,skin changes such as rashes andgrowths, and/or swelling in one ormore joints in your feet, do not hesi-tate to call Livingston Foot CareSpecialists at 826-0103 to set up anappointment.

Our doctors – with over 47 yars ofexperience – at Livingston Foot CareSpecialists at 1685 Newbridge Road,North Bellmore, understand the crip-pling effects arthritis can cause andare dedicated to making sure ourpatients remain active and pain-free.

DR. DAVID H. KRINSKY D.M.D. F.A.G.D.

Radon detection can save livesHealth agencies throughout the United

States have joined forces to promoteawareness of the leading cause of lungcancer for nonsmokers.

The American Lung Association,Centers for Disease Control and NationalCancer Institute all agree that radon is anational health problem and encourageradon testing during the season.

Radon is a naturally-occurring, invisibleand odorless radioactive gas. One in 15American homes contains high levels ofradon. Millions of Americans are unknow-ingly exposed to this dangerous gas.

In fact, a recent study by HarvardUniversity ranks radon as America’sleading in-home hazard. By taking sim-ple steps to test your home for radonand fix if necessary, this health hazardcan be avoided.

Radon gas is not isolated to certain geo-graphical areas or home types. Radonproblems have been detected in homes inevery county of the U.S. It caused moreAmerican fatalities last year than carbonmonoxide, fires and handguns combined!

If a home hasn’t been tested for radon

in the past two years, EPA and theSurgeon General urge you to take action.Contact your state radon office for infor-mation on locating qualified test kits orqualified radon testers.

The federal commitment made byEPA, the General ServicesAdministration, and the departments ofAgriculture, Defense, Energy, Health andHuman Services, Housing and UrbanDevelopment, Interior and VeteransAffairs will focus efforts on radon reduc-tion and mitigation in homes, especiallythose of low-income families, many ofwhom do not have the resources to makethe simple fixes necessary to protect theirhomes and loved ones. Learn more aboutthe Federal Radon Action plan atwww.RadonPlan.org.

Last year, the federal consortium metwith key leaders in the public health,environmental and private sectors tolaunch the federal radon action plan thatincludes both immediate and long-termsteps to reduce radon exposure. You canlearn more about National Radon ActionMonth at www.RadonMonth.org.

The Long Island Council of Churchesinvites one and all to its Easter dawn wor-ship service at Jones Beach beginning at6:30 a.m. on Easter Sunday, March 31,rain or shine, at Jones Beach State Park

“Easter celebrates resurrection, new lifein the face of death,” observes the Rev.Thomas W. Goodhue, executive directorof the LICC. “After all the destructioncaused by superstorm Sandy along theSouth Shore and elsewhere, it is good towelcome Easter and celebrate recovery asdawn breaks on the beach.”

This year’s preacher will be Rev.Goodhue, and his sermon will focus on“Hanging on for Dear Life or LeapingToward New Life.” He will also have astory for children, who are encouragedto attend.

Soh Young Lee-Segredo, a member ofFreeport United Methodist Church, andmembers of the Multi-Cultural PeaceMission Choir, will sing, as will DonWarner from Wantagh MemorialCongregational Church.

Enter Parking Field 6 and head duesouth toward the beach, where there willbe large LICC banner directing youtoward the gathering place. Parking is freeat that hour. The service is brief (about halfan hour) and informal. Worshippers areencouraged to dress warmly and bringbeach chairs or blankets.

Worshippers also are encouraged tobring nonperishable food or monetarydonations for the LICC’s emergency foodpantries, which have been inundated withrequests for help this year, particularlyfrom senior citizens and from thoseaffected by Sandy.
