Lacrosse player Brendan Conroy, 17, of Muttontown recently signed a letter of intent to play for Army at the United States Military Academy at West Point next year. The high school senior currently plays midfi eld for St. Anthony’s and his team captured the Catholic High School Athletic Association Championship against Chaminade earlier this year.
When asked why he chose West Point, Con-roy stated, “It was just a gut feeling that I had. I knew I belonged there. I fell in love with the people and the community. I’m going to have a lot of opportunities coming out of West Point. I hope to progress and learn a lot about leader-ship and control. I think that will help me go far in life.”
Conroy started playing lacrosse in the 2nd grade following in his older brothers’ footsteps.

The Town of Oyster Bay Land-marks Preservation Commission had already recommended grant-ing landmark status for the Maine Maid Inn of Jericho.
Now it was the Town Board’s turn. At a hearing on No-vember 15th, the board not only in-dicated its approval for landmarking the 222 year-old build-ing, Town Supervisor John Venditto even contemplated pur-chasing the former restaurant.
When TOB Com-missioner of Planning & Development Fred Ippolito mentioned the property could be obtained for approxi-mately $700,000, Venditto asked him to further investigate the possibility.
“If you do grant the landmark status, it only pre-serves the outside of the build-ing,” said the Commissioner. “You can do whatever you want inside. You can even add an extension as long as it conforms to the exterior
design.”Ippolito noted that the Town
could fi nd a restaurateur to run the business. If acquired by the Town, Venditto said use of the property would be up to the resi-dents.
Built in 1789, thebuilding was the home of Quakers Val-entine and AbigailHicks, who helped found the hamlet of Jericho. The structureand property has his-torical signifi cance for being a stop on theUnderground Rail-road where Quakers helped hide escapedslaves in the 1800s. Valentine Hicks served as President ofthe Long Island Rail Road and was instru-mental in bringingthe rail service to the area.
The Maine MaidInn is situated in the22-acre Jericho Pre-serve and is linked to
the historic Jericho Quaker meet-ing house and Elias Hicks’ house, which were preserved by Nassau County.

It didn’t take long for Nassau County Police Department Rob-bery Squad detectives to piece to-gether what actually happened at the Roslyn Savings Bank in Wood-bury, according to a police report.
They had gotten a call about a robbery at the bank at 8081 Jeri-cho Turnpike at 3:42 PM on Mon-day, November 14th.
When they arrived, they were told that a white male had passed a note to a teller demanding cash and that the teller had handed over an undisclosed amount of currency.
But they quickly concluded that
they weren’t dealing with a lone bank robber. Instead, they say, the teller, Brian Bolivar, 20, of Hun-tington had conspired with the suspected thief, Nikko Carlson, 20, of Huntington Station to stage their encounter.
They arrested both men with-out incident and recovered the loot.
Bolivar and Carlson are being charged with Grand Larceny 3rd Degree and Conspiracy 5th De-gree.
They were arraigned on Tues-day, November 15th at the First District Court in Hempstead.

Veterans from American Le-gion Quentin Roosevelt Post No. 4 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8033 assembled in front of Oyster Bay Town Hall on Veter-ans’ Day, Friday, No-vember 11th, to hon-or all those who have served in the United States of America’s military and lost their lives in the process.
VFW commander John Bruckner of Oyster Bay, 82, has served in the Army from 1951-53 in Germany with the 7th army artillery. “We used to go up against the Russians on the border keeping them on the alert during the Cold War,” he said.
Bill Ferris of Oyster Bay, 87, served in the Navy from 1942-46 and saw combat in the Pacifi c bat-tling the Japanese. “I’m glad to have survived,” said Ferris, former American Legion commander.
Today he keeps in contact with his war buddies Don Christianson of Huntington and Ed Hahnemann from New Jersey.
Former VFW commander Mau-rice “Binky” Baron of Oyster Bay,
64, was in the Navy Seabees from 1966-70 and served in Viet-nam from 1968-69.
Refl ecting on Vet-erans’ Day, Baron said, “I think about those who lost their lives to give us the freedom we have. I wish we could exist with no war and live
in peace. We’d be better off.”American Legion Commander
and former Nassau County Com-mander of the American Legion Reginald Butt began the ceremony with a few words.
“Ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things. Simply put, that’s who veterans are. Young and old – rich and poor — black and white — and nearly every catego-ry in between, they are men and

The Oyster Bay Town Board conducted a hearing regarding fi nancing for a pro-posed expansion of the East Norwich Firehouse at its No-vember 15th meeting.
The East Norwich Vol-unteer Fire Company No. 1 is looking to expand its fi rehouse by approximately 6,400 square feet for the stor-
age of fi refi ghting apparatus and administrative purposes.
The department has pe-titioned the Town Board to authorize the issuance of $1,616,000 in tax-exempt ob-ligations to provide funds for the project. “Under the inter-nal revenue service code, if local municipality approves of borrowing the fi re compa-ny can get a preferred rate,” said James Cammarata, at-torney for the EN Fire Com-
pany. “This is not an obliga-tion for the town.”
Although the Town Board reserved decision on the matter in order to go over the fi gures, Town Supervi-sor John Venditto indicated that they were behind the fi re company 100%.
“The men and women of our fi re districts know what they are doing. We trust your judgment and you’ve never led us in the wrong direction,” said the Super-visor. “Our fi nancial people will look at the numbers but you can count on the sup-port of this board.”

The Incorporated Village of Bayville and the Fetzer family hosted the 4th annual Turkey Trot 5K Run & Chil-dren’s Chicken Run (1K) to benefi t the Matthew Fetzer Foundation on Saturday, No-vember 12th at West Harbor Beach in Bayville. The race, which drew over 150 partici-pants, is held in the memory of Matthew Fetzer, son of Bill and Ann Fetzer of Bayville, who died on April 7, 2005 at the age of 10 from leukemia.
The Fetzer family holds a year-long toy drive for the children with cancer at Co-lumbia Presbyterian Hospi-tal in Manhattan, Winthrop Hospital in Mineola and Co-hen Children’s Medical Cen-ter in New Hyde Park. They throw parties at the hospi-tals during various holidays where they give away toys to children in the cancer ward.
While most toy drives oc-cur during the holiday sea-son, the Fetzer’s toy drive goes all year long. This year alone they have held 15 par-ties with more to come dur-ing Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. “The kids recognize us and when they hear we are coming, they know a party is happen-
ing,” said Ann Fetzer, Mat-thew’s mother. “This was Matthew’s wish. He would always say, ‘We have to help these kids.’ The toy drive would be a dream come true for him.”
The Fetzer family misses Matthew terribly and they strive to keep his upbeat spirit alive. “I love hearing stories about Matthew and people showing me pictures of Matthew. I like when people come up to me and talk about him,” said Ann. “Doing the toy drive gets us through the holidays. Every day I say to myself, ‘I can’t believe he’s not here.’ It’s horrible. I could go to the hospital every day to do something. Tell me to go into Bayville Intermediate School and I can’t do it.”
The day began with a children’s Chicken Run up West Harbor Road. Win-ners were: fi rst place male – Chris Foglia (10), fi rst place female – Maria Foglia (12), second place male – Oliver Gross (11), second place fe-male – Katherine Simon (9), third place male – Jeremy Hees (9) and third place fe-male – Claire Simon (6).
The winner of the 5K race was Austin Huminski, 23, of Oyster Bay who captured his third local title after winning
the Brooke Jackman Race for Literacy in May and the Bayville 5K Run in June. Hu-minski completed the race in 17 minutes and 15 seconds.
“The fi rst mile and a half was smooth. But the second I made the turn around at the Centre Island police booth I hit that wind,” he said.
Second place fi nisher Thomas Glenn of Levittown (17:24) had the lead but Hu-minski surpassed him. “He caught me around the turn at the police booth. I decided to draft behind him to conserve energy then I made the move to pull ahead,” said Humin-ski. “I knew I had that speed in me.”
Huminski has established his own running club with his running pal Vince Giam-banco called Citius (www.citiusnewyork.com), which is on the rise. “We are grow-ing by leaps and bounds,” he said. “We picked up some fast runners. It’s cool that the running community knows who we are now.”
Another member of the Citius team Samantha Snu-kis, 25, of Bayville was the fi rst place female coming in at 19:05. Snukis also was the fi rst place female in the Town of Oyster Bay Super-visor’s 5 Kilometer Run in October. This weekend she will be running her goal race - the “Rothman 8K” in Phila-delphia, PA.
The Trot was sponsored in part by the North Oyster Bay Baymen’s Association, Vil-lage Sports of Locust Valley, Dodds & Eder, North Shore Towing & Diving, Village Gourmet Catering & Deli, Bayville Chamber of Com-merce, Dr. Thomas Finn, IGA Food Basket, Marty’s Party, Monti’s Auto Works and La Bussola Ristorante.
All toys donated to the
Matthew Fetzer Founda-tion’s Toy Drive must be new and wrapped (no stuffed animals). Gift cards are accepted as well as video games, iPods, CDs and DVDs for the older kids. Toys can be dropped off at Village Gourmet Deli in Oyster Bay, Locust Valley High School, IGA-Food Basket in Bayville and at the Fetzer home lo-cated at 19 University Road, Bayville, NY 11709. For more info., call (516) 628-8107.

Mill Neck resident Sharyne Wolfe has some-thing all women want – a complete knowledge of the best places to shop in Man-hattan and Long Island. The good news is she’s will-ing to share her tips in her new book, The Fashionista’s Shopping Guide to the Gal-axy of Discount New York Fashion. On November 12th she held a signing at For-est Books in Locust Valley where fans picked up copies of her paperback and chat-ted about fashion.
Wolfe teaches fashion de-sign at Nassau Community College. When she broke her wrist she couldn’t drive because she has a stick-shift car therefore she sat home and wrote. “I always wanted to do something like this,” she said. “I started writing and the project just kept growing.”
The book focuses on how to be stylish yet cost con-scious while fi nding the best bargains on Long Island and in Manhattan. Some of the local places featured in the book included Next to New in Oyster Bay, Worth Re-peating in Locust Valley, Revivals in Roslyn, Unique
Thrift in Westbury and Cen-tury 21 Department store in Westbury.
The book is also pep-pered with cute shopping stories and parallels shops with places to eat plus mass transit directions for Man-hattan locations.
Wolfe often goes shop-ping with her girlfriend Mar-guerite Ehlen of Lloyd Neck. One of her current favorite shops is Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. “I get a thrill out of shopping,” she said. “It’s like going on a treasure hunt.”

Bayville was the place to be on Saturday night, November 12th as the Locust Valley-Bayville Soc-cer Club sold out its annual Ca-sino Night at St. Gertrude’s Parish Center. Guests enjoyed a buffet dinner and open bar as they tried their luck at various gaming tables likes craps, poker, blackjack and roulette as well as slot machines. Throughout the evening people bid on silent and live auction items plus they fi lled the Chinese
Auction baskets with tickets. All proceeds from the event went to benefi t the Locust Valley-Bayville Soccer Club.
Overwhelmed by the turnout, LVBSC President Alex Sklavos stated, “At our fi rst Casino Night we had 60 people. The past three years we’ve been over 200 people. This year we sold 300 tickets and we still have people walking up to the door. This is a tremendous night!”
The Club encompasses kids from Bayville, Locust Valley, Oys-ter Bay and Glen Cove with 320
kids in the intramural program and 340 kids in the travel program featuring 24 teams. “Our league has grown by leaps and bounds. We put out a great soccer product with professional instruction. The parents have bought in 100%,” said Sklavos. “We focus on devel-oping skills with the kids. Every-one believes in it and they do what they can to support it.”

The Thanksgiving holi-day is traditionally a time of thanks, cheer and celebra-tion. For the fourth year, Del-Mir Caterers at North Shore Synagogue has volun-teered to do all the cooking and host a free traditional Thanksgiving luncheon on Thanksgiving Day, in the temple ballroom at 83 Mut-tontown Road in Syosset.
The luncheon is held for anyone in the community who has nowhere to go for the holiday. The Jewish War Veterans Post No 655, Giancarlo and Josephine Costa and hosts Bobby and Keith of Del-Mir Caterers
sponsor the event. “The dinner started at La
Viola restaurant 19 years ago when the Costas fi rst bought the restaurant. We did about 40 meals the fi rst season. Then the event mushroomed the year after that,” said Larry Sklar of the Jewish War Veterans Post 655. “Last year we served almost 500 meals.”
Lunch, featuring turkey with all the trimmings, will be served on Thursday, No-vember 24th from Noon to 2 PM. Home delivery will be available to those who are homebound and are unable to get to the synagogue.
“We always make sure there is food leftover which goes to the veterans’ resi-dence in Northport the next morning,” said Sklar. “Any homebound person who or-ders one meal actually gets two so they have food for Friday being that Meals on Wheels doesn’t deliver on Thanksgiving or the Friday after.”
To make reservations or arrange for a meal delivery, call Larry Sklar (646) 641-8460 or Josephine Costa at (516) 931-1325.
There is no charge for the meals or delivery.

A season for sharing
A s the holiday season approach-es, many of us are planning celebrations. We enjoy the
tradition of giving gifts to loved ones, thanking those with whom we’ve shared joy and love throughout the year. We have giving on our minds. And as we come together to exchange gifts, we enjoy the bounty of the season, gathering around tables of plenty.
But this is also the time when our thoughts should turn to the less for-tunate — those who have little, who may get no gifts at all, and those who are hungry. Many of the most vulnera-ble members of society — our children and senior citizens — are at risk in a weak economy. Many families have breadwinners who are out of work, and they, too, fi nd themselves among the ranks of the “food insecure” or the hungry.
There has been a jump in the num-ber of food banks and charities that now fi nd erstwhile donors coming to their doors seeking help. Their re-sources are being strained to accom-modate the need. And it’s not just now; the need is year-round, as more of our citizens fi nd that food is becom-ing unaffordable.
Island Harvest, the largest hunger-relief organization on Long Island, serves as a bridge between those who have surplus food and those who need it. Its staff and volunteers collect food from more than 800 restaurants, ca-terers, farms and other businesses and
distribute it to a network of nearly 570 soup kitchens, food pantries and low-income day-care centers as well as senior, youth outreach and rehabilita-tion centers in the area.
Having reported a sharp increase in demand for food in recent years and with no end in sight, Island Harvest says it can use help with food collec-tion and delivery during the holiday season. It accepts all types of canned and packaged food, including frozen turkeys, canned vegetables, fruit, tuna and canned meat as well as cereal and shelf-stable milk. Donations of non-perishable food can be dropped off at any McDonald’s, Panera Bread or Bris-tal Assisted Living locations. Frozen turkey donations are being accepted only at Panera and Bristal locations.
Island Harvest also accepts mon-etary donations, which help fuel its trucks and pay for volunteer training and advocacy. Donations can be made online, using a credit card, at www.is-landharvest.org. Checks and money or-ders can be sent to Island Harvest, 199 Second St., Mineola, N.Y. 11501. And of course, volunteers are always welcome. To volunteer, call (516) 294-8528.
The Interfaith Nutrition Network of Hempstead, which helps hungry and homeless Long Islanders, runs 19 soup kitchens, including the Mary Brennan INN in Hempstead and the Long Beach Food and Friendship INN, as well as three homeless shelters. In addition to nonperishable food, it ac-cepts sandwiches and monetary dona-tions, which can be made online or by sending a check or money order to 211 Fulton Ave., Hempstead, N.Y. 11550. Volunteers and those willing to spon-sor a drive or a meal are also welcome. More information can be found on the INN’s website, www.the-inn.org.
Besides food, there are other ways we can help the needy in our midst. Warm clothing, blankets and toys are always welcome. The INN accepts per-sonal and baby-care items as well as clothing. And the U.S. Marine Corps will host its annual Toys for Tots Drive, with collection boxes set up through-out local communities. A donation to Toys for Tots can make the holiday season brighter for a child who might not otherwise get any gifts.
We hope those who are more for-tunate will remember those in your communities who are not, and give what you can this season. And when the holidays are over, don’t forget that in the months ahead, particularly over the summer, there will be just as much need for food and clothing donations. Keep the giving spirit going into next year. You don’t have to look very far to fi nd real need.

To the Editor:A few weekends back,
I was down at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park, which itself refl ected the fantastic weather of the day, particularly the new turf fi eld and affi liated im-provements. The fences that kept folks out from the construction were removed, and 2 groups of young peo-ple were on the fi eld, some playing pick-up soccer and others football. Several peo-ple were walking or jogging around the fi eld, while oth-ers were just sitting under the new gazebo or walking the perimeter of the entire recreational area beside newly planted landscaping and newly installed antique lamp-posts. Not as obvious,
but no less important, were the substantial drainage and fi ltration improvements (with more to come for the balance of the park). Al-though this is just phase 1 of a 3 phase renovation of the Park (as well as of Firemen’s Field), and while there will no doubt be hurdles to clear down the line (which I am confi dent will be cleared), it was a tremendous thing to see.
In all of it, a thank you - for the tireless efforts of the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Youth Athletic Association in having the foresight to initiate all of it and the per-severance in pushing things forward, and for the many Town personnel who re-tained the patience and con-fi dence in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich community to see it to such a very success-ful completion, particularly
Supervisor John Venditto, former Deputy Supervisor/current Town Attorney Len Genova, Commissioner of Parks James Byrne, Com-missioner of Public Works Richard Betz, Deputy Com-missioner of Public Works Leslie Maccarone, Deputy Commissioner of Parks Doug Tripodo and former Commissioner of Public Works Jack Libert. Thanks all for sticking with us. This is yet another improvement for the community by the community. Very well done.

New idea for Cerro property
To the Editor: I have a great idea for the
Cerro Wire property, turn it
into a railroad station. The Syosset and Hicksville train stations parking lots are maxed out. Another train station would help the park-ing situation. There would only be traffi c in the early morning and in the evening and the weekend will be very quiet for the residents. They could even build a small strip mall there with stores to service the com-muters.

women who served or still serve America,” said Com-mander Butt. “Some have endured great hardships, separation from family and drastically altered lifestyles. Some have experienced the horrors of war. All sacrifi ced something so that we could
enjoy the freedoms we have today.”
He continued, “Today is important because we choose to honor the living veterans from the Greatest Generation to the Latest Generation. But we must honor them with deeds, not just words. We must heed
the words of our fi rst Com-mander-in-Chief, General George Washington who said, ‘The willingness with which our young people will fi ght in any war, no mat-ter how justifi ed, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive the vet-erans of earlier wars were
treated and appreciated by their country.’”
American Legion Chap-lain Harold Havekotte asked everyone to gather together for a collective prayer. “We bow our heads in thankful-ness for the victories. Thou hast granted us – and to those peoples who have
united with us to stamp out the evils of aggression, intolerance and greed,” he said. “Grant us now thy con-tinued blessing upon unity and strength, that makes victories possible in war, that we may win greater victories of peace.”
Commemorative wreaths
were laid at the veterans’ monuments in front of TownHall by Ferris and Fred Ma-roni. The service concluded with the veterans hand sa-luting during the playing of“Taps.” A post-ceremony re-ception was held at the LifeEnrichment Center at Oys-ter Bay on East Main Street.
takes issue with the histori-cal signifi cance aspect of the building,” said Venditto. “My instinct is this is some-thing we should be doing.”
Thomas Abby, Clerk of Jericho Quakers, stated, “We urge the Town Board to award the Valentine Hicks home landmark des-ignation. The decision will help give the Maine Maid Inn its rightful place in American history as well as facilitate efforts to preserve it for future generations.”
Powerpoint pre-sentations were delivered by Dr. Kate Velsor of SUNY Old Westbury and Director of the Underground Rail-road Teaching Partnership as well as Betsy Murphy, librarian of the Jericho Li-brary and Jericho historian. Murphy even read letters from second graders from Robert Seaman Elementary School in support of saving the Maine Maid Inn.
Jennifer Sappell, Execu-tive Director of Long Island North Shore Heritage Area, feels Old Jericho is be-ing stripped of its history. “This is a story of ordinary people who led extraordi-nary lives. These people took risks, made a differ-ence and helped to change the world,” she said. “When places disappear, memories die. Let’s not let that hap-pen.”
Howard Kroplick, Presi-dent of Long Island Motor Parkway Preservation Soci-ety, noted that the hamlet of Jericho was the center of the Vanderbilt Cup Race (1904-10) and the Maine Maid Inn is situated in the location where several ma-jor vintage car events took
place.Alexandra Parsons
Wolfe, Director of Soci-ety for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, discussed the Maine Maid Inn’s architectural sig-nifi cance. “Admittedly the building has lost some of its architectural integrity but it still is historically signifi cant. There’s plenty of cultural signifi cance on this building therefore that alone is reason enough to designate it as a Town of Oyster Bay landmark,” she said. “There’s a strong physical relationship be-tween the Jericho Preserve, Elias Hicks’ house, the Jeri-cho Quaker meeting house and Valentine Hicks’ house. If the Maine Maid Inn is lost, the larger story can be lost.”
Theodore Roos-evelt re-enactor James Foote stepped up to the podium, out of character, and stated, “I’ve witnessed the slow loss of historical structures that’s why I sup-port landmarking the Val-entine Hicks house because it fi ts into a puzzle of other historical structures within the immediate area. It’s important that we keep a sense of our history to un-derstand where we are go-ing.”
By request from the Supervisor, Foote quickly noted what Colonel Roos-evelt would say. “A nation’s possibility of achieving greatness lies in the present but nothing helps it more to achieve that possible great-ness than its consciousness of past achievements,” said Foote as TR.
There was some opposition to the Town ac-
quiring the property. Larry Sklar of Jericho said, “We already have the Jericho meeting house, which is a landmark. I don’t know why we need two? I would love to use that $700,000 to make a monument park for all the soldiers and war veterans that lived in the Town of Oyster Bay who served in 10 wars.”
David Husing of Bayville was more concerned from a fi nancial perspective. “If you grant the landmark-ing status then you should make sure no money comes from the tax payers of the Town of Oyster Bay for any work involved on the proj-ect.”
John Collins, a long-time member of the Town of Oyster Bay Landmarks Preservation Commission, said the Maine Maid Inn application is one of the most signifi cant he has seen in the entire history of the Landmarks Commission. “There’s no question about the historical associations and architecturally I think it’s a strong application as well,” he said. “There’s a lot to be learned from buildings like this. Histori-cal buildings are a tangible link to the past.”
In closing, Vendit-to and the Board reserved decision on the landmark status. However, the Su-pervisor indicated which way he was leaning. “Once in a while the opportunity comes along to make a statement and I think may-be this is an opportunity for all of us to re-affi rm our historical perspective,” he said. “We can’t go back and change history but we can preserve and respect it.”
“I always tried to play with the older kids so I could get better,” he said.
As a young man, Conroy was a snowboarding champion but decided to further pursue the sport of lacrosse instead. “Lacrosse was something I could do well and I knew it would take me somewhere,” he said. “Snowboarding is a solo sport, however lacrosse is a team effort. Lacrosse taught me more about friendship and working with others.”
In the 6th grade Conroy began to play com-petitively when he joined the Long Island Express summer travel team. He was so successful that he was in-vited to the Nike Blue Chip camp in Maryland where college scouts attend. “It’s pretty nerve-wracking pro-cess,” he admitted. “If you miss a groundball, you’ve got 70 heads watching.”
Standing 6 ft. tall and weighing in at 191 lbs., Conroy describes himself as a “spontaneous player” who stays on his toes. He
noted that his mentors are Mike Channenchuck and his faceoff coach Matt Schom-berg
The popularity of lacrosse is growing and Conroy sees that trend continuing. “Kids are growing up with la-crosse and it’s just a mat-ter of time before the NLL (National Lacrosse League) becomes a lot bigger than it already is,” he said.
Conroy will be headed
to West Point with his long time friend and teammateTimmy Stackpole of Mass-apequa who plays long pole defense. Together they werea big part of the champi-onship win against Chami-nade, which was a huge mo-ment for both of them.
“I really felt like I con-tributed to the team,” said Conroy. “It was great to be a part of something that ev-erybody was striving for.”

Falcons lose in semi fi nals
The Locust Valley High School Football team lost to the East Rockaway Rocks 30-13 in the semi fi nals on Nov. 10th. The game was much closer than the score indi-cates.
For the Falcons it was a season of seven straight wins, a loss in a game that probably shouldn’t have been played because of the weather condi-tions, a fi rst round playoff vic-tory and then defeat at Hofs-tra University. It was a terrifi c season for a team with a fi rst year head coach and one that had many underclassmen playing in key positions.
It was also a year that saw Locust Valley produce some exceptional football players, some of whom will be playing next year in colleges across the country. Alex Rawa the star wide receiver, to quote Glen Lavy a former LV coach, “Rawa is truly a Division I football player. He is the best that I have ever seen at that position for Locust Valley.” Quarterback Joe Jacobi has a cannon for an arm and will be playing somewhere after he graduates. Defensive end and tight end Tom McNamara could easily be All-County at both of these positions. These senior players anchored this outstanding LV squad.
The game played on a per-fect night at Hofstra saw Lo-
cust Valley score fi rst. Jacobi faded back and behind excel-lent pass protection hit wide receiver Rawa for a 50-yard touchdown play. The Falcons were up 7-0. The Falcon de-fense managed to scoop up an East Rockaway fumble and drive down the fi eld. It seemed that they could not be stopped. On a simple dive play into the end zone LV fumbled and East Rockaway recovered for a touchback.
The Rocks then proceeded to march down the fi eld and score so instead of the score being 14-0 with LV in front it was tied at 7. East Rockaway again marched down the fi eld after an LV punt scored mak-ing it 14-7 East Rockaway. Locust Valley didn’t panic and again Jacobi was able to hit Rawa for a touchdown pass and it was 14-13. Unfortu-nately, the PAT went wide so at the half the Birds were down one point.
The third quarter the Rocks continued to pound their running game against the LV but the Falcon defense held fi rm. Bad fi eld position and a sack put the Green on their 2-yard line in a passing situation Jacobi was rushed, tried to pass, but was called for intentional grounding in the end zone and East Rocka-way was awarded a safety, putting the Rocks in front 16-13. Rockaway would score two late touchdowns putting the game clearly in the win
column for the underdogs in the fourth quarter.
The Locust Valley team had many seniors who all will be graduating and moving on to college. These seniors include: Chris Appell, Matt Valsecchi, Cody West, Tom Nastasi, John Keschl, Joe Jacobi, Nick West, Kevin Sa-bogal, John Johnson, Bradley Conn, Bobby Heney, Thomas Allen, Matt Formicola, Bobby Bleistein, John Ciarletta, Sean Rudowsky, Chris Murray, Ken Syrett, Tyler Fallon, Alex Rawa and Tom McNamara.
This year’s coaching staff worked together for the fi rst time. Head coach Matt Mc-Farland was organized and his staff was fi rst rate. Assis-tant coaches Jeff Schiereck, Mike LoGerfo and Tom DiNu-ovo have to be given credit for the outstanding job they did all year. Trainer Tim Bellisari is the best in Nassau County. The team was in shape and escaped serious injuries for the entire season.
Next year the Green will have some underclassmen that have seen signifi cant time playing this year and should help make sure that LV continues to be one of the better teams in Conference IV. Linebackers who were just sophomores, Matt Vezza and John Piscitello were good this year and will be much big-ger next year. Marlon Maldo-nado at tackle this year was only a junior and he should be even better as a senior. Kevin Rieger was outstanding on the line and with another year should be All-County quality. Ryan Paniagua was an outstanding defensive end and he too next year will be counted upon. Finally Cal-lum Ewen whose speed in the backfi eld or returning the ball can be electrifying will also be returning, which is exciting.
This was a great year for Locust Valley football and every member of this team should hold their heads high and be proud.

The St. Dominic CYO 5th Grade Girls Soccer team continued its winning ways with victories over St. Aid-an’s and Holy Spirit this past weekend. The team is currently undefeated and will head to the playoffs.
St. Dom’s defense is un-yielding and has allowed only six goals the whole season. Key defenders have been Broke Regan, Sidney Cunningham, Lindsey Pur-cell, Isabella Moore and Emma McGuckin.
The offense for St. Domi-nic has scored over 42 goals this season and has spread out the scoring among its many talented players. Goals have been scored by: Nicole Coccia, Molly Milano, Catherine Williams, Cath-erine McCauliffe, Julia Cuta-jar, Grace Wiesenfeld, Erica Duke, Hannah McLaughlin and Charlotte Mahon.
The offense has gotten a boost by all the assists that have been provided by Vic-toria Monteleone, Laura Regan, Caroline Finelli and Sarah Pantina. The team is coached by Tom Regan and
Frank Monteleone.This is the fi rst year St.
Dom’s has fi elded a team at this age group and their success is a result of practice twice a week and the good start the girls got with the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Intramural program. Ev-ery practice ends with a scrimmage against their sis-ter team, the St. Dom’s 6th grade girls at the playing
fi elds in Muttontown. Both CYO teams received addi-tional training at practice from members of the C.W. Post Girls Varsity Soccer team who shared their ex-pertise and enthusiasm forsoccer with all the girls.
This group of young la-dies has locked up a playoffspot and hopes to bring achampionship home to Oys-ter Bay.
The St. Dominic CYO 5th Grade Girls Soccer team is cur-rently undefeated and will head to the playoffs.

Thornton Wilder’s Amer-ican classic, “Our Town,” will be revived this weekend by the Locust Valley Jesters at the Howard A. Schmock Auditorium at Locust Valley High School on November 19th & 20th. LVHS Principal Dr. Kieran J. McGuire will be pleased as the drama is noted to be his favorite.
The stage will be rather bare with a lack of props just as Wilder intended. “Thornton Wilder didn’t
want the audience to sit back and relax and watch a show. He wanted them to be engaged and think about the play. You have to use your imagination,” said Di-rector Abbe Gail Gross. “It’s about being present in your own life and appreciating the things around you.”
The students have con-nected with Wilder’s mate-rial as they developed their characters and adapted to the tone of the show. Ju-nior Ernest Schieferstein, 16, of Bayville narrates the show as the Stage Manager.
“I help the audience relate to the town and the char-acters,” he said. “I’m like Thornton Wilder in a char-acter form.”
Junior Teddy Kahn, 15, of Bayville landed the role of George Gibbs on a whim by trying out at the last min-ute. He likes the character because he’s a normal guy. “George is in an interesting position. He’s growing up but still trying to have fun and be a kid. I can identify with that.”
Sophomore Alexander Van Patten, 15, of Bayville
plays Emily Webb’s father Mr. Webb who has many sensitive moments in the play. “You have to get in your character’s mind and think beyond what the script says,” he said. “You have to put yourself in the character’s shoes.”
“Our Town” will be per-formed on Saturday, No-vember 19th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, November 20th at 3 PM. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. For group sales or more in-formation, call (516) 277-5144.

The Locust Valley Jesters will present Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” at the Howard A. Schmock Auditorium at Locust Valley High School on November 19th & 20th.
On November 10th, the Board of Trustees of Port-ledge School in Locust Val-ley appointed Simon Owen-Williams as its next Head of School. Owen-Williams suc-ceeds Steven L. Hahn, who is retiring after six years as Head of School.
Board President, Terri Keogh ‘85, said, “When Steve announced his retire-ment last March, we com-mitted ourselves to a thor-ough national search that would identify the man or woman who will lead our school into an even brighter future. We are confi dent that Simon is the right person at this time in Port-ledge’s history.”
Owen-Williams is cur-rently Head of School at Carlisle School in Martins-ville, Virginia. Carlisle is an independent day school that has expanded to three campuses and has grown to full enrollment under his leadership. He is a native of Wales and attended Ex-eter University in England, graduating with an honors degree in politics and com-pleted a master’s degree in education at Columbia Uni-versity.
Betty Ann Roel, Chair of the Search Committee, commented, “Simon rose to the top of our list quickly after he was brought to our attention because of his suc-cessful experience as Head of School and his great rep-utation as an educational
leader and advocate for hisschool. His desire to return to Long Island complements an international perspec-tive on education, both ofwhich will serve Portledgewell. He made a strong pro-fessional and personal im-pression on the parents, stu-dents, teachers and alumni as well as on the membersof the Search Committee.We also visited Carlisle School and saw fi rst-hand the outstanding job he has done at that school. Finally,his references were glow-ing. We welcome his lead-ership at Portledge.”
“I am deeply honored to have been selected as the next Head of School at Por-tledge. I have known and respected the school for many years. This is a bit of a coming home for my wife, Candace, and me, and wewelcome the many opportu-nities the school has beforeit,” said Owen-Williams, who formally begins his du-ties on July 1, 2012.
