Borders in Syosset was more crowded than it had been in years on Friday, July 22nd as a liquidation sale followed the announcement that the chain was shutting down. The store is expected to remain open un-til late September.

“We had worked very hard toward a different outcome. The fact is that Borders has been facing headwinds for quite some time, including a rapidly changing book indus-

try, the eReader revolution and a turbulent economy. We put up a great fi ght, but regret-tably, in the end, we weren’t able to overcome these ex-ternal forces.” Mike Edwards, CEO of Borders.

John DiGennaro of Plain-view, a frequent customer was disheartened by the news. “I think Borders is a great com-pany. I feel they are reason-able with their prices and they have a great rewards program. I love the store,” he said.

In fact, he fi rst met his wife, Lauren, at the store. The cou-

ple had been set up on a blind date on December 26th, 2003 and they met at Borders be-cause it was a halfway point between their homes.

Four months later DiGenn-aro proposed to Lauren at the very spot they met.

“I ran in and announced it to the whole store. I said, ‘I just asked this girl to mar-ry me and she said yes!’ The place went nuts and started applauding,” DiGennaro re-called. “For the fi rst time ever, not to be repeated, my wife


One of the highlights of the summer in Oyster Bay hamlet is saxophonist Richie Cannata’s horn blowning. For the past four years, Cannata has brought his Monday Night Jam Band to the Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce’s “Cruise Nights” classic car show on Audrey Avenue.

On July 26th, the band beat the rain and delivered a performance that rattled the oyster shells across the street at Canterbury’s Oyster Bar & Grill.

Cannata has been a side man to Billy Joel and the Beach Boys. His Monday Night Jam Band, which performs at the Bitter End in Man-hattan, has been together for over 21 years with various members.

Their line up in Oyster Bay fea-tured trumpet player Frosty Law-son, drummer Kevin Bregande, bassist George Panos, keyboardist Chris Clark and guitarist Jim Mo-ran with rotating vocals from Eren Cannata, Ed Terry, Chloe Lowery, Lisa Miller and Pamela Betti. Spe-cial guest Julio Fernandez of Spy-ro Gyra sat in on guitar.

Cannata was jazzed to be back in the hamlet. “I love playing in the street because it’s so different that it’s fun,” he said. “I’m used to playing Madison Square Garden. But I enjoy being around the cars. Musicians like two things — clas-sic cars and a winning baseball team.”

Cannata & Co. play every Mon-day night at 11:30 PM at the Bit-ter End where they pack the place until 4 AM.

“We keep it loose and improvi-sational,” said Cannata. “We justcall songs out as we go.”

This past week was a monu-mental one for Cannata who per-formed a big show in his home-town of Glen Cove as part of the city’s downtown concert series

Oyster Bay native Heather Mata-razzo is getting married. She and her girlfriend, recording artist Carolyn Murphy, plan to take advantage of New York’s legalization of same-sex marriage to make their longtime rela-tionship offi cial.

Known for her roles in “Welcome to the Dollhouse” as Dawn Weiner and Lilly Moscovitz in “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,” the 28-year-old Matarazzo is planning a fall or spring wedding with more than 200 guests.

She will wear an off-white dress while Murphy, currently working on her fi rst studio recording, will don a pants suit.

The couple has been engaged for three years and they decided now — with New York becoming the sixth and largest state to recognize same-sex marriage — was the perfect time to tie-the-knot.

Looking forward to starting a big family, they announced that each of them is hoping to mother a child and then adopting more.

For her next screen role, Matarazzo will portray Sadie Atkins in the up-

coming fi lm, “Manson Girls,” written and directed by Susanna Lo. The fi lm will be released sometime next year.

Town readies TR Park improvementsBy David J. [email protected]

The Town of Oyster Bay is giv-ing Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park a long awaited facelift. The town’s three-phase plan will span two years and cost approximately $10-12 million.

“I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve been a little disappoint-ed in myself in terms of TR Park. I think we waited a little bit too long to step up and make these improvements. But good things do come to those who wait,” said Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto.

“For the longest time I got in-volved in the cat and mouse game of going in and fi xing what was broken. But the cut and paste method didn’t work. From my

standpoint, the park needed a general overhaul,” The Supervisor continued.

“The hamlet is the soul of the Township. If something is wrong in the hamlet, something is wrong in the township. Having TR Park

in disrepair is not a good thing.” he concluded.

The park was envisioned as a memorial to America’s 26th Presi-dent after his death in January 6, 1919. It opened in 1928 under the direction of the Roosevelt Memo-rial Association, which preceded today’s Theodore Roosevelt Asso-ciation.

It was deeded to the Town of Oyster Bay on January 1, 1943. However, the deed, written by the RMA, included several restric-tions.

“TR Park has a certain person-ality that is well rooted in the his-tory of the hamlet. We want to preserve that historical perspec-tive. We don’t want to do things that are inconsistent with its ori-gins and development over the

The real estate market on the North Shore hasn’t been booming this year, however for veteran Mara Navaretta of Woodbury things are busier than ever. After working with large real estate agencies for over 13 years, Navaretta decided to open her own agency, Homes By Mara, with one employee, her-self. A year later, she now has 18 agents working with her.

Navaretta worked at Dan-iel Gale in East Norwich for eight years and left to go to Re/Max in Syosset, which went out of busi-ness. She also worked for Cen-tury 21 in Syosset and Laffey Fine Homes.

“I had been with all the big fi rms and ran the gamut. I found that each fi rm had its own rules that they wanted me to abide by which was not in the best interest of my clients,” said Navaretta. “A lot of the times it was in the best interests of the company.”

Navaretta began working on her own with her referral networkand listings. “I wasn’t nervous be-cause I knew that wherever I wentI never sk ipped a beat. My busi-ness was a l w a y s s t e a d y. My cli-ents fol-l o w e d me wher-ever I was at,” she said.

W h e n a s k e d what’s her secret, Navaretta cited personal integrity. “I’ve never done anything that I’ve regretted in my business. Every decision I’ve madeis for my clients even if I make lessmoney,” she said. “Agents recog-nize that and they enjoy working

The Locust Valley Rotary and Town of Oyster Bay co-hosted the annual Com-munity Picnic Pops concert at Thomas Park in Locust Valley on Thursday evening, July 21st. Neighbors gath-ered to enjoy the sounds of Phil Costa and the Some-thing Special Big Band de-spite the extreme heat.

The 18-piece big band got everyone’s energy up as they opened with Duke El-lington’s “Things Ain’t What They Used to Be” followed by “In the Mood,” “April in Paris” and “T.D.’s Boogie Woogie.” American Legion Howard A. Van Wagner Post

962 of Locust Valley posted the colors led by Command-er Tony Bliss and Judge Ad-vocate Charles Mills.

Trumpet player/conduc-tor Phil Costa of Plainview explained how his group was modeled after the Count Basie Band. “When Basie died, Frank Foster took over. He and I were buddies and he gave me a lot of their charts,” he said. “I was able to clone the band.”

The Something Special Big Band, which has been together for 25 years, plays approximately 40 gigs per year. In the summer they perform in parks and in the fall/winter they play librar-ies and formal affairs. Based

out of Flushing, Queens, the band gigs in Westchester County, New Jersey, Suffolk

County in addition to Nas-sau and Queens. Surpris-ingly, most of the members

are original.While most of the num-

bers were instrumental, singer Eddie Harris was spotlighted on the mic for “Alright OK You Win” and “Fly Me to the Moon” Nat King Cole style. Costa add-ed, “Eddie’s a fi ne vocalist. He was the backup for Joe Williams from the Count Basie Band. We pulled him out of retirement.”

LV Rotary President Janis Schoen was pleased to see the Community Picnic Pops tradition continue and the Rotary offered free hot dogs for the crowd.

While the Rotary is work-ing on their Gift of Life Program, they are always raising funds to help out

overseas. “There’s so much that has to be done,” said Schoen. “We had some re-ally bad disasters this year– a lot of hurricanes and tornadoes.”

The band played threefull sets each with a batch of songs sung by Harris in the middle. From “Straight-en Up and Fly Right” to“What a Wonderful World” to “Save the Last Dance For Me” to “Beyond the Sea,” Harris turned on the charm while the band cranked outinstrumental classics like“Tuxedo Junction,” “One O’Clock Jump” and “AlmostLike Being in Love.” The show closed with “Ol’ Man River” and tribute to the military.

The long awaited traffi c light at the intersection of Cold Spring Road and Syos-set/Woodbury Road has been installed and will be up and running within days.

Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) originally started asking for this light about 10 years ago. The Department of Public Works decided, instead, to install a blinking light at the intersection. Jacobs ex-plained that although the blinking light, at least, gave some warning of the dan-ger, it never served the true purpose of stopping traffi c in one direction to allow traffi c

to continue in another.Jacobs never gave up the

fi ght to obtain the signal-ization and, fi nally, DPW agreed. “I cannot begin to describe what a great feeling it is to see this become a real-ity. As a long time resident of the area, I know, full well, the dangers and tension we all face when attempting to navigate this intersection,” she said.

It is one more piece of protection for residents that Jacobs has brought to reality. Others include the Wood-bury Road/Syosset Wood-bury Road intersection; the light at Tiebrook on Jack-

son Avenue; the turn signals at South Woods Road and Syosset/Woodbury Road; the light and turn signals at South Woods road and Convent Road; the improve-ments at Underhill Blvd and Jackson Avenue, south of the tracks; and, of course, the ongoing improvements to Jackson Avenue, north of the tracks.

“People tell me I am the traffi c safety legislator. I wear that badge proudly. If one life is saved, if one acci-dent is avoided, if we can all breathe easier when travel-ing in our area, I feel I am doing my job,” said Jacobs.

Auto Fire Occurs in WoodburyA car fi re occurred on Jeri-cho Turnpike in Woodbury on Friday, July 22nd at ap-proximately 8:12 PM fol-lowing the impact of two vehicles that collided in front of the Syosset-Wood-bury Park. While traveling west on Jericho Turnpike, a car was making a left into the park when it col-lided with another vehicle traveling east on Jericho Turnpike. Both cars were totaled and the drivers sus-tained injuries. After the

crash, the car heading east went up in fl ames and was

immediately extinguished by the Syosset Fire Dept.

“The Hit Men; Lee Shap-iro, Don Ciccone, Jim Ryan, Larry Gates, and Gerry Polci are a group of fi ve amaz-ing performers who collec-

tively and individually were the original musicians and voices for hundreds of hit records from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s,” Town Supervisor John Venditto said. “In pri-or years, they were known by other names like; The Four Seasons when they sang with Frankie Valli and The Shondells when they sang with Tommy James. After years of performing in the shadows, they have

emerged as ‘The Hit Men,’ playing their music around the world.”

OPINIONEDITORIAL

A tough choice on Coliseum vote

Business and labor organizations, development groups and politicians have all expressed their opinions on

the plan to borrow $400 million to fund the construction of a new arena and minor-league baseball park at Nassau County’s Hub in Uniondale. Now it’s your turn, as tax-payers who want to be able to afford to keep living and working on Long Island, to cast your votes in the bond referendum on Monday.

Asking residents and businesses to pay for a new hockey arena is brazen. Most taxpayers wonder why New York Islanders owner Charles Wang can’t pay for it himself, even though the Coliseum belongs to the county, not Wang.

We join those who com-plain that this vote comes on short notice, following poorly publicized hearings, and should never have been scheduled for a Monday in August — a blatantly cynical maneuver to make sure the trade unions can get the “yes” vote out and make it as hard as pos-sible for opponents to muster “no” votes.

The political nature of development at the Hub has had a destructive effect on the process. That was true of the Lighthouse project — a much bigger idea, formulated by Wang and former County Executive Tom Suozzi, a Democrat, that took many years to go nowhere — and it’s true now with Wang’s new collaboration with County Ex-ecutive Ed Mangano, a Republican.

The consequence of this hyper-politici-zation is that citizens have lost trust in the numbers and statements being presented. People just can’t accept Wang and the coun-ty — or the opponents of their proposal — as objective or believable. County-paid consultants say one thing, and critics say another. It’s a decision made easily only by the most politically faithful.

The county comptroller, George Mara-gos, says a new Islanders home is neces-sary, and that “the development of the Hub is critically important to the Nassau County economy … It currently supports hundreds of jobs and has the potential to create thou-sands of construction jobs and permanent jobs as well as increase tax revenue.” But Maragos also said last week that he does not have enough information on the Islanders’ arrangement with the county to complete

a “comprehensive analysis” of the proposal.This vote isn’t an up or down on the plan,

which needs much more1 detail, but it’s to get a sense of whether taxpayers are will-

ing to fund a project once it is deemed satisfactory by the County Legislature and the state’s Nassau Interim Finance Authority.

Those in favor of the plan like it because they are told it will create or save thou-sands of jobs, and that it will be a step in the right direc-tion, to a mixed-use devel-opment later on. The minor league team will be a popu-lar family attraction. With the new arena and ballpark as anchors, they are told, the site will become more attractive to developers who could fi ll other parts of the void.

We wish we were de-bating a grander plan, one more worthy of the people of Nassau County. There is an unmistakable is-that-all-

there-is? quality to this project. If there’s a vision here, it’s nearsighted.

But, with all that said, the Oyster Bay Guardian hopes voters say “yes” to the bond so the process of making this the best deal possible can move ahead. If it is approved, the county will move forward on a redevel-opment of the area that will be good for all. It’s not ideal, but it’s growth, it’s improve-ment and it’s a foundation on which a more worthy vision can be built.

If voters reject the bond, thinking that things will stay the way they are, they will be wrong. Rejection would have consequences. The county’s economic consultants, Camoin Associates, predict losses of 2,660 jobs and almost $8 million a year in sales-, hotel- and entertainment-tax revenue if the Islanders leave town. There would be no circus, no shows, no concerts in a shuttered Coliseum. The money those newly unemployed thou-sands would not spend at restaurants and stores and on services would have a ripple effect, hurting other businesses, not just in Uniondale, but in their home communities.

We think a “no” vote is a vote for higher taxes anyway, because property taxes would have to rise to compensate for the loss of tax revenue when the Coliseum closes. But in that case, when their taxes rise, residents would have nothing at the Hub to show for it.

We urge a “yes” vote on Monday’s refer-endum.

A newly erected gazebo is one of the many improvements made to Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay.

years,” said Supervisor Ven-ditto.

“However, it is 2011 and community needs and de-sires change. We felt we needed to strike that bal-ance. We want people to feel that a piece of that park belongs to them,” he added.

The Town spent a sig-nifi cant amount of time reaching out to the Theo-dore Roosevelt Association, Friends of the Bay and local sports groups, collecting in-put and keeping everyone in the loop.

Supervisor Venditto add-ed, “Everything is going to be done tastefully, artfully and practically. I think this is going to be a turning point of the quality of life here in the hamlet.”

Phase One of the project includes a complete renova-tion of the existing baseball fi elds including irrigation and walking paths around the fi elds, enhancing the natural grass and upgrading all the lighting.

A new turf fi eld with lights will be put in with bleachers. The parking lot was reconfi gured but it will contain the same amount of parking spaces.

Phase One is scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.

Phase Two will involve replacing the entire sea wall and revamping the memo-rial area of the park, which will include new walkways and a new landscape plan plus new façade for rest room building and a new

lifeguard station. Phase Two will be completed in the fi rst part of 2012.

Phase Three will be fo-cused on making improve-ments to Firemen’s Field featuring new lighting, lev-eling the ground and cor-recting drainage issues.

“We will improve the landscaping and make it more esthetically pleasing,” Venditto stated. “Once we get that work done at Fire-men’s Field I’d would be even more likely to encour-age Town employees to use it for parking.”

Phase Three is targeted to start in the fall of 2012 and fi nish by spring of 2013.

The Supervisor also not-ed that once the revisions to the park are complete, members of the Department

of Public Safety will be used to patrol the area in order to maintain its condition.

After remaking Ralph J. Marino Park and the TR triangle in recent years, the Town views TR Park as its next crowning achievement.

“This park is going to become the centerpiece in our parks system. I’m look-ing to make TR Park a pre-mier showcase with some-thing for everybody. It will be a modernized setting with a clear historical per-spective,” said Venditto.

The Supervisor conclud-ed, “I think this is a very good thing that is happen-ing here. This property is going to be a great family environment for our chil-dren, our children’s chil-dren and beyond.”

Town readies TR Park improvements

on Friday, July 22nd. “The weather was 100 degrees but still a lot of people came out,” said Cannata who owns and operates Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove.

Cannata recently re-leased his fi rst solo album, self-titled, featuring 10 orig-inal tracks, which he’s very proud of. “It only took me 26 years to do,” he stated. “I’m like the shoemaker whose kids have no shoes.”

In August Cannata will be touring with Al Jardine including a stop at the Harry Chapin Theatre in East Meadow on September 17th.

He recently played with the Billy Joel tribute band, Big Shot, at Tobay Beach drawing a monstrous crowd. “I love those guys,” he said. “They play the music like we did in the ‘70s.”

“Cruise Nights” co-Chair Austin Azzaretto said to the

crowd. “Richie is a personal friend of mine and he does this for me once a year for free,” he said. “These guys are going to rock you right off the street tonight!”

While the threat of rain held off, Cannata and his band opened with the in-strumental “Put It Where You Want It” to warm up the crowd before Terry sang “What is Hip?” followed by Lowery belting out “Re-spect.”

Joined by his son Eren, Cannata jammed Van Mor-rison’s “Into the Mystic” as his son crooned the classic. “Playing with my son is the greatest thing in the world,” he said. “I’m so blessed to be able to have that.”

In a special moment, Az-zaretto requested that Can-nata break out the Billy Joel hit, “New York State of Mind,” the fi rst song he ever recorded with Joel in 1975.

While many people were wondering if the Piano Man

would emerge from his mo-torcycle shop, 20th Century Cycles, to get on the micro-phone, Cannata made his sax sing perfecting the ren-dition sans vocals. “I hope Billy heard that,” he said.

Betti delivered “Mustang Sally,” Miller did her best Robert Plant on “Whole Lotta Love,” Terry returned for a double-dose of Ste-vie Wonder on a medley of “Superstition” and “Living for the City” and Eren came back for “Fly Like an Eagle.”

As the clock struck 8:30 PM and the sky got dark, Cannata asked, “This is ear-ly for us. Can we play more or do we have cranky neigh-bors to worry about?” The crowd responded with a re-sounding yes and the party continued with Lowery on “What’s Goin’ On?” and the show concluded with Can-nata coaxing Azzaretto to sing “The House of the Ris-ing Sun.”

was speechless.”Today the couple have

two daughters, Emma, 3 1/2, and Kayla, 1 1/2, who they would often take to the store.

“They have a wonder-ful children’s section and my girls love books. It was their special place to go,” said DiGennaro. “Taking my daughters there was like coming full circle.”

DiGennaro cites the clos-ing of the Syosset Borders as a sign of the times. “Every-thing now is downloadable. It’s convenient, fast and at your fi ngertips. I can’t help but feel Barnes & Noble is a

ticking clock too. I wonder how long stores like that are going to last,” he said. “You

can’t download groceries or clothes therefore certain retail stores will always be there. But bookstores can become obsolete. I prefer to read books rather than a computer screen. But the younger generation coming up is more exposed to the technology which makes things tricky.”

All gift cards will be hon-ored during the liquidation sale. Borders Rewards Plus members will get their dis-counts through Friday, Au-gust 5th and Borders Bucks will be honored until July 31st. The liquidation sale will continue until the store closes in September.

with me because they know I will always be honest.”

One-by-one agents start-ed calling her to see if she had room for them, but Na-varetta says she is very se-lective who she lets join her fi rm.

“Most important is hon-esty and integrity. If they’ve been in the business, we know their integrity. I want people who are a good mix for our offi ce,” she said. “We are team oriented and it’s about having fun. I believe real estate should be enjoy-able.”

When she began, Nava-retta worked with her team without an offi ce and on the fl y. “Our meetings were like the martini lunches the girls had on ‘Sex and the City.’ We didn’t have an offi ce to sit at,” she said.

As the staff grew Homes by Mara opened their offi ce at 567 Jericho Turnpike, Suite 205, in Syosset where they share space with Nava-

retta’s husband’s law fi rm, Navaretta & Howard LLP. Her company offers a law fi rm, mortgage company and title company all under one roof.

“We are truly a concierge boutique agency,” said Na-varetta. “We have every-thing on site.”

Providing her clients with personal service is Nava-retta’s signature style. “We have different types of cli-ents — those that are very needy who call every hour on the hour and others who are cool with the process and realize that it takes time to sell their house or fi nd a house,” she said. “Each and every person gets personal attention. I’m hands on but not pushy.”

Navaretta doesn’t view herself as “the boss” but rather just a member of the team.

“We are all on the same page. My agents don’t have to come to me and say, ‘Can I do this?’ If it makes busi-

ness sense, we do it. People love it because there’s no hi-erarchy and word is spread-ing,” she said. “Other agen-cies are getting jealous and wondering what is going on. The calls are coming in.”

Continuing in her non-traditional way, Navaretta doesn’t like holding openhouses.

“You lose control at an open house. I don’t knowwho is coming in. I prefer in-dividual appointments,” shesaid. “If I do hold an open house, I will do it at the be-ginning of the sale and even then I require photo ID.”

Pondering the future of the real estate market on the North Shore, Navaretta sees things as moving up-ward.

“There are bidding wars on many properties. I’vebeen fi nding the buyersquickly and as long as the homes are priced right weare getting multiple offers,” she said. “We are getting the excitement of 2005 again!”

LEGAL & PUBLIC NOTICES

SPORTSOUT IN RIGHT FIELDBy Jeff Davis

LVHS Football PreviewIn just a short time our local high schools will be starting

practice and gearing up for the football season. This year the number 3 ranked Conference IV Falcons will begin a new season with a new head coach. Falcon lacrosse coach Matt McFarland will be taking over the reins from legend-ary coach Joe Knoll. His contract was not renewed after a poor season by the Falcons. However, he did manage to get them to the County playoffs in four of his six years at LV.

Coach Knoll has become the head football coach at Oys-ter Bay and been given the challenge of rebuilding that once storied program. McFarland an All-American lacrosse play-er at the University of Massachusetts also was a star player at Garden City High School where he additionally was a standout on the gridiron. At LV he has been a popular physi-cal education teacher and coaching the JV football squad. But his job is going to be diffi cult as the “Falcon Faithful” have high expectations for this team.

McFarland has begun the process of head coaching by putting together a superior group of assistants. The varsity staff includes Mike LoGerfo, Tom Dinova and Jeff Schiereck. Schiereck is coming over from formally being the head coach at Oyster Bay High School. He has great football knowledge and his experience as a head coach in Conference IV will be an asset that McFarland will rely upon. LoGerfo is moving up from the Middle School and has worked with the pres-ent group of players for several years and that too will be a positive asset. Tom Dinova also moving up from the Middle School is a former head coach of superpower Babylon High School where he won two championships.

The Falcons enter the season ranked number 3 and have a daunting schedule. McFarland’s goal will be “hard hitting and aggressiveness” on the football fi eld. The Green Birds are returning 22 varsity players from last year’s roster and have some really good JV players who will be moving up.

Quarterback Joe Jacobi has great fi eld sense and strong throwing arm that already has college recruiters putting his name down as one that will have to be watched. Chris Appell will be one of the featured running backs. He is thrillingly fast and even quicker starting off the ball. Appell changes direction and with a strong offensive line he will be fun to watch. One of the wide receivers will be Empire State Basketball standout Alex Rawa. Sidelined last year with an injury this year he is healthy and this natural athlete, who is quick, tall and intelligent, will be hooking up with “Throw-ing Joe Jacobi” to score lots of touchdowns for the Green. Very few receivers have Rawa’s speed or jumping ability.

The team will go as far as the offensive line will take them. This year’s “horses” are young but they do have expe-rience and they are big. Marlon Maldonado, Louis Falciano and Kevin Reiger will only be juniors but they are good. They all have real size, strength and when you add seniors Bob Bleistein and Ken Syrett this is as tough a group of line-men as any high school in Nassau County. If sophomore John Pocatello moves up to varsity, then the Falcons will have another huge, fast player who will help this team. All the players have been working extremely hard in the weight room this summer and Coach McFarland, who is a real mo-tivator, may be able to get this team a championship.

The schedule is tough: Sept. 10th – Mineola at LV, Sept. 17th - LV at Malverne, Sept. 24th – Seaford at LV, Oct. 1st – LV at Island Trees, Oct. 6th – LV at Roosevelt, Oct. 15th – West Hempstead at LV, Oct. 22nd - LV at Cold Spring Har-bor and Oct. 29th - East Rockaway at LV.

Gardening TipsFor all the emails I have received concerning tomatoes

and blossom end rot I do have a cure. Many readers have complained that their tomatoes are turning black at the blossom end just before getting red. This rot is caused by the high temperatures and uneven watering that can occur. The internet cure that truly works is quite simple. For each gal-lon of water crush two Tums tablets, and three tablespoons of Epson Salts. I also recommend a tablespoon of lime juice. Water the plants with this mixture and within three weeks the end rot hopefully will be gone.

Some gardeners remove the green tomatoes before they develop rot and “red them up” by placing them inside a brown paper bag for a day or so.

Portledge student Zach Kleinwaks, 13, of Glen Cove, won the Cal Ripken All Star Tournament Home Run Derby, a national contest for 13U boys held in Aberdeen, Maryland on Sunday, July 10th.

There were teams from all over the United States com-peting in the weeklong tour-nament, which was kicked off with a skills competition. Kleinwaks was chosen by the coaches of his travel team - the Long Island Yankees, to represent his team in the Home Run Derby.

In the Derby competition, batters were allowed seven outs. Any swing that didn’t produce a home run over the fence was considered an out. Kleinwaks was the second to bat during the competition, hitting a total of 12 home runs. He and his teammates anxiously watched nervous-ly from the grandstand as one by one batters took their turn to try to best his mark. In the end, Kleinwaks was the champion, as the second place batter hit six homers. Following the Derby, Zach was awarded an engraved baseball bat trophy.

At almost the same time last year, the Long Island Yankees participated in the Cooperstown All Star Village 12U Tournament, another national competition where Zach also became the Home Run Derby Champion, eek-ing out the second place fi n-isher by one home run.

Kleinwaks attends Port-ledge School in Locust Valley where his team reached the fi nals of the IPPSAL league this past season. He was the only 8th grader to play on Portledge’s varsity baseball team. At over 6 foot tall, and with incredible speed around the bases and to the ball, he has become a valu-able asset to the team as he pitches and plays fi rst, sec-ond and third base.

James O’Brien of Oys-ter Bay, has been awarded the 2011 “Premier ‘Mak-ing a Difference’ Scholar-ship,” by NEFCU – Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union. The NEFCU Scholar-ship Committee recognized Mr. O’Brien, who was also the recipient of the “Making a Difference High School Scholarship,” for his exem-plary academic accomplish-ments and his service to the community. The scholarship will help fund his college education. Mr. O’Brien, who recently graduated from St. Dominic’s High School, will be attending Salve Re-

gina College in Rhode Is-land this fall.

“We would like to recog-nize James for his outstand-ing academic achievements and strong commitment to helping the community, both of which he has shown throughout his four years of high school,” said Valerie Garguilo, Vice President of Marketing & Commu-nity Relations for NEFCU. “NEFCU has always found its mission in being aligned with and supportive of educational pursuits. We are proud to help further his achievements and wish him nothing but the great-

est success as he pursues his higher education.”

The “Premier Scholar-ship,” valued at $20,000, is presented annually as the fi nal constituent of NEFCU’s broader “Making a Differ-ence” Scholarship Program. The “Making a Difference” Scholarship Program was designed to support lo-cal teens as they pursue higher education. It has been in existence in Nas-

sau County schools for over 20 years and recently expanded to Suffolk Coun-ty schools in recognition of NEFCU’s 2010 community charter. NEFCU has provid-ed more than $900,000 in scholarships.
