LV Rotary’s extravaganza keeps German tradition aliveBy David J. [email protected]

Guests enjoyed brat-wursts, Warsteiner beer, authentic German dancers and music from Die Spitz-buam who played classicslike “Roll Out the Barrel”and “In Heaven There is No Beer” at the Locust Valley Rotary Club’s annual Okto-berfest.

The club brought old German traditions to Thom-as Park in Locust Valley onSaturday, Sept. 24th.

Despite threats of rainthe club beat the odds, skat-ing by with an overcast day.

They weren’t so lucky onFriday evening, Sept. 23rd. Their kickoff event with Die Schlauberger had to be can-celled due to the inclement weather.

“This event has been go-ing on for nearly 40 years. The guys who started itout began the event in the Gristede’s parking lot (now Locust Valley Market). They would bring their favorite foods whether it was Italian or German or Polish. They would have never dreamed of all this happening with alive band in Thomas Park,”said Scott Pullo, who co-chairs the event with Randy Carr.

Although there are tons of fall themed festivals, the LV Rotary feels their event stands out from the crowd.

Packs of runners huffed and puffed their way through the balmy weather on Sunday, Sept. 25th during the Greater Long Is-land Running Club’s 26th annual “Ocean to Sound” Relay.

For the fi fth straight year, the Sayville Running Company captured the title when Adam Siepiola, 31, of Min-eola crossed the fi n-ish line in the team’s best ever time of 4:33:31.

The event, spon-sored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union for the ben-efi t of the Leuke-mia & Lymphoma Society, brought 125 teams of eight runners each to tra-verse a 50-mile sce-nic course stretch-ing from the South Shore to the North Shore of Long Is-land.

The relay began at Jones Beach State Park and concluded at Fireman’s Field in Oyster Bay.

The teams raced through 15 dif-ferent Long Island townships start-ing in Wantagh, traveling through Seaford, Massapequa Park, Mass-apequa, Farmingdale, Old Beth-page, Plainview, Woodbury, West Hills, crossing into Huntington

and hitting the Long Island Sound in Lloyd Harbor, returning to Nas-sau County via Cold Spring Har-bor and Syosset, reaching Oyster Bay Cove, and fi nally hitting Oys-ter Bay where a gala post race par-ty was held in Theodore Roosevelt

Memorial Park over-looking Oyster Bay Harbor.

“It was hot but my teammates were fantastic,” said Siepiola, who ran Leg 8 for the Say-ville team, “They kept increasing the lead with each leg, which made my job easy. By the time I got to mile 4 or 5 I knew I could relax. The heat didn’t re-ally bother me. I like running in warm weather. It keeps me loose.”

The team is named after the run-ning apparel store owned by teammate Brendan Barrett, 28, of Sayville. He gath-ers his friends and workers to make up the team.

“We hold some group runs out of the store on Tuesday nights. We put together some teams out of the people who show up for the group runs. It’s a good group of people,” he said.

SRC’s Shawn Pollard, 26, of Port Jefferson handled the tough-est leg of the race, Leg 7. It started


The Bayville Historical Museum held a special ceremony on Sat-urday, Sept. 24th to dedicate two museum rooms in the memory of directors Gladys Mack and Thom-as Alfano. Additionally, the muse-um opened its Fall 2011 exhibit of vintage photography equipment.

“Today we are proud to honor the memories of Thomas Alfano and Gladys Mack in appreciation for their many years of service for the museum and preserving the history of our village,” said Bay-ville Historical Museum Director David Rapelje. “In recognition of their hard work, we are going to rename two rooms in the muse-um in their memory. The Estates Room will be the Thomas Alfano Estates Room and the Colonial Room will be the Gladys Mack Co-lonial Room.”

Rapelje noted that Alfano was very fond of the Estates Room. “Tom donated many of the pictures that hang in the Estates Room and we are proud of the mural he had done on the wall,” Rapelje noted. “Gladys simply loved anything to do with history. She kept records on everything. We felt it naming the Colonial Room after her would be fi tting.”

Both Mack and Alfano died within months of each other ear-lier this year. “It was upsetting and a big blow,” said Rapelje. “I’ve known the Alfanos for many years and working with Tom over the past year has been very special. Just looking through the records and the way they were kept you can tell Gladys’ passion for this vil-lage.”

Mayor Doug Watson offered Proclamations for both Mack & Al-fano and read them aloud for the

Center enriches lives — and saves oneBy David J. [email protected]

John Bergano, 83, of Locust Valley learned fi rst hand how ded-icated — and cool in a crisis — the staff is at the Life Enrichment Cen-ter at Oyster Bay.

Thanks to their quick and com-petent response Mr. Bergano is alive today despite suffering a heart attack at the center’s Au-gust 24th “Bella Notte” (Beautiful Night) Italian themed party.

Carmella Falzarano of Locust Valley brought her sister Phyllis Bergano and her brother-in-law John to the event. Together they dined on fi ne Italian cuisine pre-pared by Chef Anthony Moschella and danced as well.

Half way through the party Car-mella told Program Director Mary Frignani that although they were enjoying themselves they were go-ing to cut out early because John wasn’t feeling well.

“They started to make their way up towards the lobby. Mary asked what was wrong. When Carmella told her that John was experienc-ing chest pains she refused to let them leave,” said Gail Speranza, Executive Director.

“When Mary ran to the recep-tion desk to call 911, John grabbed the wall near the men’s room and

collapsed on the fl oor,” she added.The entire staff sprang into ac-

tion. “Chef Anthony ran into thenurse’s offi ce and got the defi bril-lator.

“Evening Program Director Joanne Daddio got paper towels and water and started fanning Mr.Bergano.

“Our bus driver Tom Kleemanis a volunteer EMT for Glen Cove and we got John sitting up and hecame to,” said Speranza. “I took his hand, which was clammy and he had no color – I knew it was not good.

“Administrative Assistant Jill Mason fl agged in the EMT guys through the handicap entrance. Assistant Program CoordinatorNancy Farinaccio was in the back of the kitchen calling the fi re de-partment. We all had differentroles.”

An ambulance arrived and took Mr. Bergano to Syosset Hospital

Portledge School in Lo-cust Valley celebrated its school spirit and commu-nity pride at the 8th annual Founders Day on Saturday, September 24th. To begin the festivities students (pre-Kindergarten-12th grade) gathered in the middle school courtyard dressed in blue and white shirts where faculty, administra-tion, the Board of Trustees, parents and extended fam-ily members came to honor Portledge’s history and help build its future.

Founders Day serves as a homecoming for alumni but mostly it’s a day for bring-ing the Portledge commu-nity together. The school es-caped the threat of rain and all activities went ahead as planned.

A parade of students kicked off the day leading from the Lower School to the Middle School where freshman, sophomore, ju-niors and seniors displayed themed fl oats that ranged from freshness to Mister Softee to golfi ng to the mov-ie, “Up.”

Steven Hahn, Head of School, addressed the crowd at the opening cer-emony with some sad news. “We lost a well-respected and dedicated friendly col-league yesterday Luis Perez, who has worked on our buildings and grounds crew for 18 years. He passed away suddenly yesterday af-ternoon after a brief illness at the age of 70,” he said. “Right up until last week Luis was visible directing traffi c, making friends with parents and students as well as tending to our grounds and keeping the athletic

fi elds in shape. At the end of the summer he was able to go back to his native home of Chile for a vacation and he just spent a weekend in Florida celebrating his 70th birthday with his son. He re-turned to Portledge willing to share stories and seemed in wonderful shape.”

After a moment of silence for Perez, Hahn noted that at a later date a tree will be planted on the school grounds in his honor.

The tradition of Founders Day began in 2004 with the idea to unite the school at an event during the begin-ning of the year. “The goal is to have a really great time together and spend some time refl ecting on the his-tory of Portledge and rec-ognize how it has grown today,” said Hahn.

Portledge School grew one grade at a time from 1965 to 1976 solidifying its academics and athletics excellence with each year. “Today we recognize the past and celebrate the fu-ture,” said Hahn. “We move forward building an inclu-sive community and prepar-ing all of our students with the skills and values needed to meet the considerable

challenges that lay ahead.”Student Body President

Eraklis Diamataris, 17, of Old Brookville, Class of 2012, commended every-one for their efforts during Spirit Week despite the bad weather. “I look forward to the senior class continu-ing the solid leadership throughout the year leaving a positive and lasting legacy along the way,” he said.

Continuing a Founders Day tradition that began last year, the students of the lower school put three items into a time capsule to be opened at Founders Day in the year 2020. Lower school students presented three items for the time capsule: a picture of students & faculty of lower school, poster of all the ways interactive tech-nology is used in the lower school classrooms and a copy of the Portledge prom-ise and code of conduct.

President of the Board of Trustees Terri Austin Keogh, Class of ’85, closed out the ceremony. “Three years from this June we will celebrate our 50th anniver-sary with the Class of 2015. There’s so much excite-ment and enthusiasm as we look forward for Portledge.

We’ve come so far and ac-complished so much,” she said. “We have such a won-derful sense of community that through our stages of growth we’ve always main-tained and we will continue as we move forward. We should feel privileged to be part of this community. I believe the best is yet to come.”

Former Trustee Roger Bahnik was happy to see the shape the school is in. “It’s always a pleasure to come back to Portledge,” he said. “I’m glad to see the school is doing well. I wish them all the best in the future.”

The events of the day consisted of a variety of ac-tivities including 5th/6th grade and 7th/8th grade co-ed Blue & White soccer games, varsity boys and girls

soccer games against Law-rence Woodmere Academy as well as an alumni soccer game. Alumni reminisced

over old yearbooks at thealumni booth and childrenenjoyed a variety of infl at-able rides and crafts.

Oyster Bay residents Emanuel Cappello, 93, and his wife, Concetta Cappello, 90, celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows at St. Dominic’s Church followed by a reception with friends and family at Chas. Roth-mann’s Steakhouse in East Norwich on Sept. 4th.

Emanuel is an uphol-sterer, who started his own business Emanuel Decora-tors in 1953, which is still running in Wantagh. He still enjoys going to work three days a week.

Concetta having a back-ground in dress making, she was able to work as his fi rst seamstress when he fi rst opened his business in 1953 working side-by-side together. However, her pas-sion continues to be making

large old-fashioned Italian meals for her family and friends.

Emanuel always says, the reason why he married Concetta on September 7th, 1941 was because he was due to ship out overseas for World War II and didn’t want to leave his “pretty, sin-gle girlfriend alone in New York City.” He knew she was such a good dancer that he didn’t want other guys ask-ing her out to dance, and he knew she wouldn’t if she was a married women. The couple started dating in Co-rona, Queens in 1935.

Cappellos celebrate 70th Anniversary

On Saturday, October 1st the No Surrender Breast Cancer Foundation is kick-ing off “breast cancer aware-ness month” with a look back at famous survivors over the centuries while cel-ebrating women living with breast cancer today. To help set the theme, they will host their second annual “There & Back: A Celebration of Survival” at Christ Church in Oyster Bay. This historic church was where Theodore Roosevelt worshiped with his family. His eldest daugh-ter, Alice, was a fashion icon, writer, designer, trendsetter and known for her indomi-table spirit. She was also a breast cancer survivor. Alice Roosevelt Longworth embod-ies the No Surrender spirit and the party is a tribute to this incredible woman.

The event will feature the Warrior Angel Survivor Mod-els, a group of women who are all breast cancer survi-vors. They will be modeling vintage fashions that refl ect the clothing worn by famous survivors over the years such as Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo, Bette Davis, Hattie McDaniel, Betty Ford, Myrna Loy, Shirley Horn, Jennifer Jones, Rosalind Russell, Ju-lia Child and Nabby Adams, John Adams’ daughter who underwent a mastectomy without anesthesia 200 years ago, on October 8, 1811.

Starting from Nabby Ad-ams’ experience, there will be a retrospective of the strides made in breast cancer sur-gery. What was once a disfi g-uring ordeal has now become a work of art in the hands of this year’s recipient of the

Alice Roosevelt Longworth Award and the gala’s Medi-cal Honoree, Dr. Ron Israeli. Dr. Israeli has changed the lives of thousands of women through his surgical talent. His empathy and unparal-leled support of his patients makes the diffi cult journey through breast cancer a hopeful and positive experi-ence. This is what the NSBCF strives to impart to its mem-bers and visitors. Many of Dr. Israeli’s patients are the mod-els who make up the Warrior Angel Survivor Models.

The Foundation is privi-leged to announce that Miss Elizabeth Roosevelt will serve as the Co-Honoree of the eve-ning. A lifelong Oyster Bay resident, art historian, avid sailor and photographer, she will represent the Roosevelt family and present the Alice

Roosevelt Longworth Award to Dr. Israeli.

The party begins at 7 PM at Christ’s Church, 55 East Main Street, Oyster Bay and tickets are $100 each and $75 for those under the age of 29.

The No Surrender Breast Cancer Foundation is a 501 (C) (3) not for profi t orga-nization that helps women through their breast cancer from diagnosis to life post treatment. Their Before Forty Initiative raises awareness of the risk faced by young, African-American women of developing Triple Negative Breast Cancer and is working ensure they get early base-line screening, before the age of 40, to fi nd this aggressive type of cancer before it has a chance to spread.

OPINIONEDITORIAL

Ed Mangano’s midterm report card

Halfway through his fi rst term as county executive, Ed Man-gano is proposing yet another

budget that takes a hatchet to spend-ing.

Whenever the county is faced with a budget hole, Mangano cuts. Even though he is being forced by the Nas-sau Interim Finance Authority to close budget holes without the one-shot revenue deals that previous adminis-trations had the benefi t of, it seems as though Mangano refuses to consider increases in taxes, rather than just cuts, to close budget gaps. Whether it be jobs, services or programs, nothing is safe from Mangano and his single-minded desire to follow his campaign promise and not create new taxes for Nassau residents.

Which made us wonder: Just how well is Mangano sticking to his cam-paign promises? How is what he said he would do stacking up against what he’s actually doing?

Cutting taxes: AMangano pledged that he would

reduce taxes on homeowners, starting with the energy tax that the Suozzi ad-ministration implemented in 2009. In fact, minutes after taking his oath of offi ce, Mangano signed a law repeal-ing the tax, which would have cost residents about $70 a year.

He has also not raised taxes since he took offi ce, opting instead for bud-get cuts.

For keeping one of his biggest promises, we give Mangano an A.

Reforming the assessment system: Incomplete

In his campaign, Mangano said that the key to fi xing the county’s budget was to fi x its assessment system. Ac-cording to Mangano, more than $1 bil-lion of the county’s $3 billion in debt was tax certiorari payments. Tax cer-tioraris are the payments that munici-palities make to residents when they

can prove they have been overtaxed.Mangano promised to freeze county

assessments for one to fi ve years, and he did — for four years. Last year he replaced the county’s yearly assess-ments with a four-year cycle, calling it the Tax Stabilization Order of 2010.

In a very controversial move, he also ended the county guarantee, and made school districts and villages responsible for paying off their proportional share of future property tax overpayments. It was a move, Mangano said, that would save the county millions, but it came under harsh criticism from Democrats. Of course, while reducing the county portion of the property tax bills, it will not reduce taxes — just move them to a different bill.

All in all, Mangano says that his measures have saved the county $28 million in waste in the assessment sys-tem.

But what he still has yet to do is actually fi x the assessments. Proper-ties all over the county are continually over-assessed, leading to the griev-ances that bring about certiorari pay-ments in the fi rst place. Although as-sessments are frozen at their lowered values (if home or business owners challenge and win), the problem of inaccurate assessments has not been fi xed.

Until it is, we can’t give Mangano a grade. But so far he’s doing well.

Creating jobs: COn Mangano’s own website, he em-

phasizes creating jobs and boosting economic development in the county. But if he goes through with his plan to slash more jobs to balance the budget, he will have cut the county work force by 20 percent since he took offi ce. That’s hundreds of jobs that Mangano has eliminated, which seems to fl y in the face of his pledge to create jobs.

While no one likes the fact that their tax dollars fund Civil Service employ-ees’ benefi ts, those employees’ salaries

matter just as much to the economy as that of a construction worker who would have been hired to build a new Coliseum.

In fact, it seems that Mangano’s job-creation plan is centered on the Hub area and his failed redevelopment plan for the Coliseum.

While he has been vocal about his desire to create private-sector jobs in the county, it doesn’t seem like Man-gano is doing much to that end.

The one place he does seem to be creating jobs is the former U.S. Na-vy-Grumman property in Bethpage, which the county says is now home to more than 15,000 jobs in homeland defense, manufacturing and television and movie production. Mangano has also hosted many job fairs during his tenure.

However, it still seems that he is better known for cutting public-sector jobs than he is for creating private-sector ones.

Cutting wasteful spending: C+

There’s no arguing that Mangano has cut spending. He has slashed the budget by millions of dollars since he took offi ce, and his proposed 2012 budget is the fi rst negative-growth plan in years, reducing spending by $63 million from the current budget.

However, it seems that nearly all of Mangano’s cuts have come at the expense of jobs. He has reduced the county work force to the lowest level since the 1950s.

He has also cut spending on pro-grams that many county residents depend on, such as services to the el-derly and 911 operators. His plan to reorganize the county Police Depart-ment is taking heavy fi re from the de-partment’s union, and we’re unsure whether his plan to reduce the num-ber of police precincts from eight to six will really benefi t taxpayers in the long run.

(Continued from page 1)for a brain scan and chest x-rays. He was later trans-ferred to North Shore-LIJ at Manhasset where he under-went surgery to implant two stents.

One of his arteries had been 100 percent clogged and another was 90 percent clogged.

“The hospital told him because of our fast action, we saved his life,” said Spe-ranza. “If he had gotten into the car, he could have died. It was a matter of time and persistence. There was an urgency in Mary’s voice that made him think twice but he never made it to the front door.”

John Bergano has lived in Locust Valley since 1942 and is a retired glass cutter who worked on constructing the World Trade Center in Manhattan and the Broad-way Mall in Hicksville.

He’s an active guy who bowls several times a week and played softball for the past 20 years for the Long

Island Tigers senior travel-ing team.

This is Bergano’s second heart attack. He had one 10 years ago and had a stent put in back then.

“I started feeling pains in my chest after I ate. I got to the top of the stairs towards the men’s room and the next thing I knew I woke up on the fl oor,” he said. “They immediately started work-ing on me administrating aspirin, putting a patch on my chest, taking my blood pressure – everything.”

“Looking back, it’s lucky I passed out. They told me if I got in the car, I would have never made it to Glen Cove Hospital,” said Berga-no. “Luckily, I have no heart damage.”

These days Bergano is back to bowling but has to stay away from the ice cream due to high choles-terol. “The doctors told me to take it easy,” he admitted. “I’m not cutting my grass any more. Now my grand-son does it.”

with a mile-and-a-half up hill then it rolled only to hit another hill towards the end.

“I did it last year so I knew something of it going in. I do a lot of training on hills like that so I was confi -dent going in. When you do it, you just have to focus on the next mile,” said Pollard. “To be honest, it was brutal. When there was two miles left it was killing me. Guys in the support vehicle were giving me water and dump-ing it on my head. I ran with fear in me. I just didn’t want to disappoint the guy run-ning the next leg. Because my leg is near the end, if you lose the lead it’s all on you.”

Second place went to Team Katie Elite. They were running in honor of Katie McBride who died from leu-kemia at the age of 12.

The team’s Ryan McDer-mott, 22, of West Hemp-stead crossed the fi nish line at 4:42:44. The recent graduate of Duke University is currently training for the

New York City Marathon running 75-80 miles a week to get in shape.

“I love running through Oyster Bay. I especially love the downhills,” said Mc-Dermott, who collectively ran with his buddies from Chaminade. “It was humid. I thought it would be a little cooler. You just have to hy-drate with a few water stops along the way.”

Twenty six year-old Joe Dare of Souderton, PA from the Runner’s Stop Men team, which took third place at 4:47:48. The team made up of graduates from La Salle University and Queens College were pleased with their time.

“It was diffi cult but fun. The course was rather tough. It was like racing with a ghost. You are always looking around for some-body. It was like Death Val-ley out there,” said Dare. “I fell apart during my last two miles. But I’ll be back next year and hope to compete a bit better.”

crowd. Copies were given to their families and another copy will be on display at the museum.

While the Mayor de-clared June 11, 2011 – Gladys Mack Day in Bayville earlier this summer, he did the same for Alfano on Sep-tember 25, 2011.

“Both Tom and Gladys were good friends of the vil-lage who did a lot for this community and they both loved that museum,” said the Mayor.

Patrice Keitt, Alfano’s daughter, spoke on behalf of her family. “I know my dad is here and I know he’s thrilled. Aside from his fam-ily and friends, the only thing he loved more than anything was the village of Bayville and he devoted 50 years of his life serving it,” she said.

Keitt told the story of her father and Uncle Joe fi ghting the Bayville to Rye Bridge in Albany. “It’s a beautiful example of how individuals can make a dif-ference. I’m proud to say that my father and uncle were essential in that fi ght,” she stated.

She also had fond memo-ries of political campaigns for the Taxpayers Indepen-dent Party (TIP) to end one party rule in Bayville. She specifi cally recalled one Election Night in 1982 when Victoria Siegel was fi rst elected mayor. “My fa-

ther was so excited he gave her a big hug and lifted herup,” she said.

Mayor Siegel spoke about the unique museum exhibits and the artistic manner inwhich they were displayed.

“Tom & Gladys really deserved each other. Theywere like yin & yang in that what one missed the otherone caught,” she said. “They were both collectors who had a keen sense for impor-tant details and a shared passion for history. Their kind doesn’t come around too often.”

Rapelje’s new museum exhibit showcases various types of vintage camerashe’s collected through the years from multiple dona-tions. “They are simplisticin how they were all manu-factured,” he said. “Most of them still work but it’s hard to fi nd fi lm for them.”

He had a camera on dis-play from his great-grandfa-ther’s collection called the Long Focus Montauk, which uses sheet fi lm as well as hisgrandfather’s old-time mov-ie projector.

He also had some funones like a Polaroid thatmade stickers and Vivitar’sfi rst disposable camera that sold for a dollar.

Rapelje also added a small exhibit on Bayville po-lice and fi remen with badges and old uniforms as well as an exhibit on artifacts from the 1974 Indian dig that oc-curred down by the Creek.

Oktoberfest in September“There’s an authenticity at-tached to it because of our German dancers, German cuisine, freshly drafted Ger-man beer and German live music,” said Pullo. “All the other festivals are cookie cutters.”

The LV Rotary Club suf-fered a big loss this year when longtime member and major community leader Ed Minicozzi, Sr. died in the spring. “It was a huge loss not only for the club but to the LV community as well,” said Pullo. “We always have a problem with the beer permit. Last year I sent out a mass email to our club members requesting help. Ed emails me a quick re-laxed statement – ‘I’ll take care of it.’ Two hours later the NY state liquor author-ity emails me the permit. He was a guy who made things happen. This year we had no problems whatsoever be-cause I believe Ed is still tak-ing care of it knowing him.”

The food, children’s ac-tivities and beer tent all fl owed smoothly due to the strong volunteer backbone that the LV Rotary Club sup-plies ever year. “Our cama-raderie is part of the engine that makes up this particu-lar club,” said Pullo. “We get together socially as well as civically. It’s a tight group and we are very welcoming to new members.”

One of the highlights of the Oktoberfest is the tra-ditional German dancing

performed by the Original Enzian members, founded back in 1922, which is the second oldest club in North America, based out of Platt-duetsche Park in Franklin Square.

The group of six dancers (three male, three female) performed Schuhplattler

dancing in their traditional lederhosen and dresses as the crowd made multiple toasts forgetting they were on the North Shore of Long Island but rather in a small village in the heart of Germany.

The Locust Valley Rota-ry’s motto is “Service Above Self” therefore proceeds

from the event contribute to many local causes in the community including the Ronald McDonald House, Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club, Rotary International’s Gift of Life, Nepal Program for Progress and many oth-ers. For more information, visit: www.lvrotary.org.

Falcons pull out a winnerIn a game that has clear implications for

the playoffs, the Locust Valley Falcons de-feated the Long Island Champion Seaford Vikings 13-12. Before a full house at Fred Smith Field in Locust Valley, the Falcons kept their undefeated record, 3-0, and sent shock waves throughout the Long Island football community.

The game was a story of two halves. The Vikings have perhaps the biggest team in Conference IV. They are noted for their tough “in your face” football and for the fi rst half it looked just that way. The Vi-kings’ plan was to run behind their “All County” tackle, P.J. Ruttera, 6’4, 285 lbs. They did just that and scored two fi rst half touchdowns for a 12-0 advantage.

On the Falcon side of the defensive line, Kevin Rieger at a mere 205 lbs. and Sean Rudowsky at 195 lbs., faced the brunt of the Seaford punishment. These two linemen were knocked down, pushed around and never gave an inch. What could have been the breach in the levy, with their blood, tenacity and dedication, the LV boys gave out more than they received. By the end of the game Rieger and Rudowsky with fellow lineman Louis Falciano, and linebackers Matt Vezza and John Piscitello had reduced the vaunted Seaford “Giants” into a tired and defeated team.

Did I forget to mention Chris Appell who had ten tackles or Alex Rawa who had an interception and several knockdowns? Tom McNamara and fellow end Ryan Pa-niagua were brilliant closed passing lanes and stopped any attempt of Seaford to go around the ends. The Falcon defense, the best in Conference IV, lived up to all the ex-pectations of Head Coach Matt McFarland. This was as good a defensive effort as any team in Locust Valley history has ever put forward. The second half was so exciting that when the game ended the crowd sat silently having expended all their energy and emotion.

Quarter three opened with an attempted onside kick by Seaford. They wanted to put the game away. McFarland had anticipated this and had his “hands team” on the fi eld. The kick was fi elded by LV’s best set of hands, Rawa, who fell on it at the 50-yard line. Now LV’s offensive line became offen-sive. If it was second wind, or tough condi-tioning, the line started blowing Seaford off the ball. Center Ken Syrett opened the mid-dle. Rieger and Falciano the guards opened running room for fullback Cody West. Tight end Paniagua caught a fi rst down from quarterback Joe Jacobi and then Appell be-hind a devastating block from Vezza broke through and scored from 22-yards out. The usual sure foot of Bradley Conn missed this PAT and the score was 12-6.

Seaford again began banging at the LV defense and found themselves going no-where. After a punt the Falcons again be-gan on their own 20-yard line with 4 min-utes remaining in the third quarter. The ten play drive that ensued was classic football. Off the option that Jacobi runs perfectly the Falcons moved the ball. McFarland then sent in halfback Callum Ewen. If you haven’t seen Ewen run he has two speeds, fast and invisible. He broke off a run for 30 yards and it took only two more plays for tough West to power in over Syrett for the score from the 2-yard line. This time Conn made sure he didn’t miss and LV was ahead 13-12.

What happened in the last fi ve minutes is what makes football so exciting. Three times Seaford drove inside the Falcon 30 yard line and each time they were stopped. After the game all Rawa, Appell and West

could say was, “This was a real team win,” and it certainly was! LV next faces Island Trees High School in Levittown.

St. Dom’s dominatesOn a Thursday evening game in Brooklyn

the St. Dominic’s Bayhawks garnered their fi rst victory of the season against Nazareth High School 28-22.

The Bayhawks’ head coach Tore Barbac-cia was pleased with his team’s fi rst victory.“This is a young squad just really learning the fundamentals of football. This was a good building block, I am proud of their ef-fort but we still have lots of work to do,” the coach said.

Nazareth jumped to an 8-0 lead but the Bayhawks answered right back. Nick Mo-rano capped off the 44-yard drive with a 4-yard dive for the touchdown. The two-point conversion failed and the score was 8-6. The ensuing kickoff saw the Nazareth run it in for the touchdown and with the conversion the Bayhawks were behind 16-6. With the character you expect from any St. Dominic’s team, the Bayhawks quickly an-swered with Ryan Perkins running around an end for the touchdown. Marc Flynn add-ed the two-point conversion and St. Dom’s was behind 16-14.

The Nazareth team turned the ball over and quarterback Flynn hit Dan Hopkins for a 61-yard touchdown pass. As the half closed the Bayhawks were on top to stay with the score 22-16. St. Dominic’s scored mid-way through the third quarter. Flynn dashed in for a score and it was 28-16. The Bayhawk defense held the rest of the game and St. Dominic’s captured their fi rst vic-tory of the season. Coach Barbaccia praised the work of right tackle Sean Hughes.

The Bayhawks will next play Stamford Academy tonight, Friday, Sept. 30th for a home game at Centre Island Beach Field.

Baymen fall to MustangsRebuilding a football program is never

fun and the young and small Oyster Bay Baymen saw their record fall to 0-3 with a 28-7 loss to the Mineola Mustangs. Head coach Joe Knoll thought his team was ca-pable of a better effort but the Baymen, who are rebuilding, just didn’t have it for this game.

The lone touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a kick-off return when Ki’Jana Walker-Michel returned the kickoff 80 yards for the score. Josh Ramos kicked the PAT. Coach Knoll did mention several of his players who did put forth tremendous efforts. Defensive tackle Joe Collery had a great game. On the offensive side of the ball Thomas Kelly, forced to move from guard to center, played really quite well and Conor Comack as always came to play and gave it his all. Next week the Baymen will have a bye in the schedule.

The Waterfront Center of Oyster Bay started a new tradition on Friday, Sep-tember 23rd when its inau-gural Benefi t Regatta was launched featuring nine teams racing in Oyster Bay Harbor. Proceeds from the event went to help fund out-reach programs and public access to the Oyster Bay es-tuary.

“This idea grew out of a regatta the Oyster Bay Main Street Association and Re-naissance Properties put together on Saturdays for business people,” said WFC Board Member Willets Mey-er of Oyster Bay. “The idea was to move it to a Friday afternoon and enjoy the same format that golfers get to enjoy. Rather than golf-ing we are sailing.”

The companies involved came from all over Long Island. “It’s an interesting group ranging from big cor-porations like Cablevision and Daniel Gale to smaller companies like Advantage Funding and TH Alliant & Kunstadt P.C.,” said Meyer.

Unfortunately, the weather last Friday wasn’t cooperating as it began to rain. “It was a little disap-pointing to wake up and fi nd weather like this. But sailors are a bit tougher than golfers,” said Meyer. “We go out in all weather as long as it’s not dangerous where we are battling thun-der and lightning. All we need is a little wind.”

Everybody raced with evenly matched 23 foot one-design Sonars with 3-4 people per boat. They sailed small triangular 15-20 minute courses getting in a total of fi ve races overall.

“Everybody was very com-petitive. We had plenty of breeze but we got very wet. But both the water and the air are warm so it was OK. We made it through,” said Meyer. “We had a good time and everybody was enthusi-astic.”

After the regatta was over the results were tabulated and announced over dinner and cocktails at Seawan-haka Corinthian Yacht Club on Centre Island. The win-ners were: First Place - Chil-dren’s Radio Productions, Second Place - Cablevi-sion, Third Place - Dodds & Eder, Fourth Place - TH Al-liant & Kunstadt P.C., Fifth Place - Farrell Fritz, Sixth Place - Advantage Funding, Seventh Place - Intercounty Paving, Eighth Place - Em-pire Financial and Ninth Place - Daniel Gale Sothe-by’s International Realty.

Sponsors for the event

included: Farrell Fritz, Hun-tington Hyundai, Hunting-ton Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Liberty Jet & Rallye BMW Westbury, CRE Asset Man-agement, Mill Pond Con-signment, Scheblein Plumb-ing & Heating and Daniel Gale Sotheby’s Internation-al Realty.

“The Waterfront Center is a wonderful organization and an important one for both the sport of sailing and the community in general. Oyster Bay needs to use its main asset, the harbor, as affectively as possible. This is the type of organization that teaches people to not only enjoy the harbor but how to be responsible stew-ards of the harbor,” said Meyer. “We need to bring in all walks of life and the Wa-terfront Center is an outlet for everybody. We are not a profi t making institution. Our central goal is to get people on the water.”
