If you drove by Oyster Bay’s Theodore Roos-evelt Memorial Park Beach on Sunday, March 11th and saw the size of the crowd, you would have thought Billy Joel was holding a free con-cert. But the truth is the Piano Man was no-where in sight, instead, an army of Polar Bear swimmers ready to jump into the harbor for the

United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County’s 8th annual Polar Bear Plunge fund-raiser.

Hundreds of brave souls ran willingly into the chilled water and the massive crowd of spectators showed their support. Pledges raised by each swimmer went to benefi t UCPN’s pro-grams for children and adults with disabilities.

“We support 1,800 children and adults who


The Theodore Roosevelt Sanc-tuary & Audubon Center has re-cently undergone some changes but it’s headed in an upward di-rection. That was quite evident at its successful Legacy of Conserva-tion Gala at Piping Rock Club on Saturday, March 10th.

The evening honored three lo-cal women Barbara Conolly, Betsy Gulotta and Nancy Pirtle with the Legacy of Conservation Award.

Perhaps the evening’s most excit-ing news was the announcement that the Sanctuary has been award-ed a $250,000 grant from the LuEs-ther Mertz Foundation in the form of a challenge grant. In fact, TRS has already raised over $150,000 towards the grant already.

This much needed injection of support was greeted with thun-dering applause and the funds will be used to start building the long-awaited new aviaries which is ex-pected to begin later this summer.

“This year we are going to be

focusing on infrastructure updates and repairs. We are in the process of putting in a plan for new avi-aries, which we desperately need. The new version of the plan will be less expensive than the old one,” said Ted von Briesen, new Advi-sory Board President. “We will also be doing renovations on our caretaker’s historic house, which was built in 1885. We will be in-sulating the Learning Center and possibly adding some classroom space. Things are getting better all the time!”

Gala Honorees

This year the Sanctuary rec-ognized three local distinguished ladies, Conolly, Gulotta and Pirtle, for their environmental leadership and presented each of them with its highest award, the 2012 Legacy of Conservation Award.

Former longtime board member of The Nature Conservancy, Bar-bara Conolly has dedicated most of her life to the advancement of


After weeks of waiting, the Col-vin family of East Norwich was fi -nally able to retrieve the body of award-winning jour-nalist Marie Colvin, who died on Febru-ary 22nd at the age of 56 while working in the city of Homs, Syria as a war cor-respondent for the Sunday Times of London.

She was laid to rest at a Funeral Mass on Monday, March 12th at St. Dominic’s R.C. Church in Oyster Bay, under the direc-tion of Oyster Bay Funeral Home.

Massive media lined the perimeter of the church cover-ing the event glob-ally. Colvin was a highly respected A-list journalist who was directly targeted by Syrian President Bashar-al-Assad’s army for expos-ing the injustice that was happen-ing to the Syrian people.

Syrian-American Malek Jandali, a musician from Atlanta, GA, trav-eled to Oyster Bay from the south

to pay his respects to her family. “Her last moments were a few

steps from my hometown of Homs.She was exposing the atrocities ofthe Assad regime. For her to have

that courage andsense of humanity,the least I could dois meet her mom,family and friendsand salute her beau-tiful soul,” he said.

Jandali presenteda letter of condo-lences to the Colvinfamily from the Syr-ian people.

“Her work is uni-versal and unprec-edented. Marie’ssoul, message andcourage will staywith the Syrian peo-ple forever. She sac-rifi ced her life for usand we are going tomake sure to honorher forever,” he said.“Marie was trying totell the truth to theworld and exposethose vicious crimesagainst humans.This brutal regime

does not represent the Syrian peo-ple. We want freedom, love andharmony. We are going to takeBashar-al-Assad to trial and he isgoing to pay the price.”

Scouts’ honorThree local Boy Scouts were heralded in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor held by Troop 253 at Oyster Bay High School Performing Arts Center on Sunday, March 11th. (Pictured from left) OBHS graduate of the Class of 2011 Christopher Kulis, 18, of Oyster Bay and OBHS Seniors Constantine Davantzis, 18, of Oyster Bay and Matthew La Rosa, 18, of East Nor-wich all came up the ranks together as they began scouting at an early age. Each was inspired by older scouts to follow the path to Eagle Scout rank, which is only achieved by a mere 2% of the scout-ing population. They each completed an Eagle Scout project as well as earning an extensive list of merit badges. All three men received accolades from the United Sates Marine Corps, the U.S. Army, Kiwanis Club, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Town of Oyster Bay, village of Muttontown, OBHS, Matinecock Lodge #806, Congressman Peter T. King, Ameri-can Legion – Quentin Roosevelt Post No. 4 and others for their unique achievement.

Audience members will get on a cruise of love and hijinks this weekend at Lo-cust Valley High School’s Howard A. Schmock Au-ditorium when the Locust Valley Jesters present Cole Porter’s, “Anything Goes,” March 16th-18th. The leg-endary show, featuring Broadway hits “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top” and the title track, will have audience members dancing in the aisles.

Director Abbe Gail Gross and Musical Director Wil-liam Margiotta are the partners-in-crime who have been cooking up these stel-lar LVHS productions for 27 years. Together they put on “Anything Goes” in 1998 and felt it was time to give it another go.

“We recently did ‘The King & I’ which was heavy and ‘Cinderella’ was a fairy tale so we were looking for something big and splashy that involves tap dancing and comedy,” said Margiot-ta. “Every tune in the show is a gem. There isn’t a dud in the whole bunch. Cole Porter was a genius!”

A group of cast members took a trip to Manhattan to see the show, which is cur-

rently playing on Broadway. “It’s exciting because the kids have gotten very famil-iar with the material,” said Margiotta. “It’s a real time piece but it’s a funny show that’s fi lled with slapstick-type jokes.”

Junior Ernest Schiefer-stein, 17, of Bayville will fi ll the role of Billy Crocker a broken down broker who falls in love with Hope Harcourt (played by Emily Parks) who comes from a privileged background.

After playing a Prince and a Russian, Schieferstein was happy to sink his teeth into a different type of role. “This is a little more modern. It’s interesting to be involved in this style of show business that was introduced in the 1930s. I enjoy doing all this stuff,” he said.

Senior Hannah Milnes, 17, of Locust Valley takes on the role of Reno Sweeney – a singer/dancer/former evangelist who falls in love with Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (played by Sophomore Kon-rad Matthaei, 15, of Locust Valley) and ends up getting married to him.

“I love her confi dence. She’s sexy, smart and very sure of herself. She’s some-one who doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” she said.

Senior George White,

18, of Locust Valley is no stranger to the stage as he will perform for his 8th show as a LV Jester when he transforms into Elisha J. Whitney an old drunk Wall Street banker.

“It’s sad that I’m not go-ing to be able to do this any-more,” White said about his last LVHS show. “The Jesters are like a tight-knit family.”

Senior Christina Boutros, 18, of Locust Valley is known for her beautiful voice which she lets fl y on “Heaven Hop” in the role of Snake Eyes Johnson’s girlfriend, Bonnie, a racy girl who goes after money and wants to built herself up to be infamous. “It’s fun channeling some-one else,” she said. “She’s nothing like me.”

Margiotta described the cast as a “real talented and fun group” making “Any-thing Goes” a perfect fi t. “This show is a huge project that touches a lot of kids,” he said. “It will be an expe-rience they will always re-member.”

“Anything Goes” will be performed on tonight Fri-day, March 16th at 7:30 PM, Saturday, March 17th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, March 18th at 3 PM. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. For group sales or more info., call (516) 277-5144.

The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Cen-ter, located at 134 Cove Road in Oyster Bay Cove, will hold its annual “Egg-stravaganza” event on Sat-urday, April 7th.

Participants can come to the Sanctuary, create their own basket, visit some egg-

laying animals and then go on an egg hunt throughout the Sanctuary’s nature trails. Col-lect the eggs and take home whatever is inside! Members $5 per child, non-members $8 per child and adults – sug-gested $2 donation.

The event is for children ages 2-10 (with parents).

Session 1: 10:30-11:30 AM (toddlers only), Session 2: 12:30-1:30 PM (kids 2-10) and Session 3: 2:30-3:30 PM (kids 2-10).

Although she’s only 10, Kaitlyn Maleady of Glen Cove has forged her way through taking the top spot in her age group for the third round of the Knights of Columbus’ Free Throw Championship held at St. Dominic’s Monsignor James E. Collins Sports Center in Oyster Bay on Saturday, March 10th. She is the only member of the Knights of Columbus - Fr. Thomas Connelly Council #5314 to advance to the next round.

Known as the regional round, which is Nassau County-wide, Maleady sank 16 free throws out of 25 tak-ing fi rst place in the 10 year-old girls’ division. Although she shot two less than her round two score (18 of 25), Maleady was still able to pull out the win.

“I was a bit more ner-vous than last time because there’s more people here,” said Kaitlyn. “My dad gave me some good advice. He told me, ‘Remember that it’s all about form.’ ”

Kaitlyn is multi-talent-ed as she also plays soccer and softball. However, bas-ketball remains her favor-ite sport and she has been playing since fi rst grade. Over the last two years she has played point guard on a travel team, the St. Hyacinth Storm and at the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club in Locust Valley.

Standing 4 feet 6 inches and weighing 68 lbs., Kait-lyn is very small which can

work for or against her. “On defense I can get down lower but I can also get my shots blocked easier so it’s not always great to be lit-tle,” she admitted.

In the last round Kaitlyn (18 of 25) beat out her 12 year-old brother Sean (15 of 25) by three baskets. At that point Sean vowed to defeat her by three baskets in the next round. He made good on that promise as he scored 19 of 25 free throws in the third round taking a runner-up spot in his age group behind 12 year-old John Timony of Merrick, who shot an incredible 24 of 25. However, this didn’t matter as long as he beat out his sister as he predicted he would. “I’m very happy,” Sean said.

When asked if there was any sibling rivalry going on, Kaitlyn smiled and said, “Maybe a little bit.” She is excited about advancing to the next round. She practic-es with her brother at home and her dad often takes her to the YMCA.

Another runner-up was Dayna Morfi s, 13, of Bay-ville, who returned to the contest by being a runner-up in the last round as the winner was unable to at-tend round three. This time she shot 12 of 25 but was edged out by 13 year-old girls’ division winner Eliza-beth McGannon of Garden City who shot 13 of 25.

“I’m proud of all the kids. This is the furthest our coun-cil has ever gotten. We’ve never had a representative go beyond the counties,”

said Steve Peguillan of the Fr. Thomas Connelly Council #5314. “We will look for-ward to rooting on Kaitlyn in the All-Long Island round. Possibly Dayna and Sean may get a phone call as well. You never know.”

Kevin Coleman, Trea-surer of the K of C Nassau County Conference, added, “All the children did a great job from the council level to the district level. Every one is a winner as far as I’m con-cerned.”

Other female winners included: 11 year-old Irene Krische of Williston Park (18 of 25), 12 year-old Rosema-rie Falco of Valley Stream (20 of 25), 13 year-old Eliza-beth McGannon of Garden City (13 of 25) and 14 year-old Kelly O’Krepkie of Port Washington (17 of 25).

Male winners included: 10 year-old Timmy Kiggins of Manhasset (23 of 25), 11 year-old Harris Eisenberg of Old Bethpage (24 of 25), 12 year-old John Timony of Merrick (24 of 25), 13 year-old Troy Veritzan of Beth-page (22 of 25) and 14 year-old Stephen Deely of Floral Park (23 of 25).

The next round will be the All-Long Island round, which includes the best free throw shooters from Nas-sau County, Suffolk Coun-ty, Brooklyn and Queens, will be held at Chaminade School in Mineola on Satur-day, March 31st at 10 AM. Winners of the All-Long Is-land round will go on to the New York State Champion-ships typically held at West Point later in the spring.


If you are walking on Anstice Street in Oyster Bay this week-end and you think you see a cat in a hat or a nerdy elephant named a Horton, don’t fret or call the eye doctor it’s just the St. Dominic High School Dra-ma Club channeling Dr. Seuss. These creatures and more can be seen on stage at St. Domi-nic Performing Arts Center on March 16th & 17th at 7 PM and Sunday, March 18th at 5 PM in “Seussical the Musical.”

After taking on “Godspell” in 2010 and “Little Shop of Hor-rors” in 2011, director Katherine Reilly wanted to switch things up. “I was looking for a show that was bigger than last year in terms of cast and more fam-ily friendly,” she said. “I wanted something happier. We were aiming to try and bring the pro-duction to the lower grades in order to draw the little kids.”

The “colorful and cartoony” atmosphere and vibe of the mu-

sical is contagious and some-thing the cast instantly connect-ed with. “The kids like the fact that everything rhymes,” she said. “I wanted to keep it human even though it’s a show about animals. We are not using any elephant trunks or bird beaks.”

Reilly was drawn to the show after listening to the song, “Alone in the Universe.” “I heard that song and fell in love with the en-tire score,” she admitted. “ ‘Solla Sollew’ is my other favorite.”

Senior Joe Kalinowski, 17, of Amityville, who played Seymour in “Little Shop” last year, land-ed the role of Horton this time around and he sees a strong cor-relation between the two char-acters. “Horton’s very similar to Seymour in that he is a shy, nerdy outcast,” he said. “The main difference is ‘Little Shop’ was funny but dark where ‘Seus-sical’ is just plain silly.”

Junior Tania Boltus, 16, of Westbury takes on the Sour Kangaroo, a role she played in 8th grade at St. Brigid’s.

“The character is mean but

funny,” she said. “It’s fun be-cause I get to be bossy. I’m en-joying the role more now thatI’m older and I know what toexpect.”

Senior Tina Dasaro, 17, ofGlen Cove likes the upbeat toneof the show as she prepares toplay Mayzie, a bird who is com-pletely full of herself. “I’m morequiet so it was hard at fi rst butI made it work,” she said. “It allcomes together naturally.”

Sophomore Caroline Hickey,15, of Huntington is the star ofthe show as the infamous Cat inthe Hat a role she is truly enjoy-ing. “I like how fun, whimsicaland different the show is. ‘LittleShop’ was more realistic. This issimply crazy. You can really dowhatever you want with it,” shesaid. “I saw what other peopledid with the character of the Catin the Hat, I re-read the booksand then put my own spin on it.”

Tickets for “Seussical the Mu-sical” are $10 for adults and $5for children/students. For moreinformation, call (516) 922-4888.

OPINIONEDITORIAL

The problem’s the process, not the plan

There is a lot to like about County Executive Edward Mangano’s police precinct reduction plan that was

passed by the Legislature last week. Its purpose is to update an outmoded public safety system, redirect police energy in the right directions and save the county mon-ey. So why is the plan so hard for so many people to swallow? Because it has the same problem that has plagued Mangano’s concepts in the past: It’s the presentation, not the plan.

If you were walking down the street and someone jammed a $100 bill into your mouth, you’d be more offended than pleased, wouldn’t you? Sure, you’d take the money, but the way the gift was presented would corrupt the benefi t. The packaging of Mangano’s new policing strategy feels like that: Even if every promised benefi t materializes, the lack of information that has been made public, combined with the cocky bluster of the Legislature’s majority, make it hard to support what might very well be an idea whose time has come.

We’ve seen similar public reactions to county initiatives in the recent past. The self-serving Republican redistricting plan was nothing less than cynical gerrymander-ing, manifested by its rush to be approved, a general impression that has thus far been upheld in court. And Mangano’s attempt to sneak a fastball past voters in the form of a half-cocked Nassau Coliseum proposal was overwhelmingly repelled. But while the cost of redistricting is political capital, and building the Islanders a new home is all about fi nancing, the stakes of a proposal to reorganize policing in Nassau County are much higher.

The protection of the people and their property is the primary function of gov-ernment. So when you start proposing sweeping changes to those services, it is in-cumbent on government to provide ample details about how everything’s going to work.

Under Mangano, plans always seem foisted on a public that, at best, will be per-

mitted to vent its spleen at a hearing or two before succumbing to the unstoppable force of GOP control. In this case, that nominal concession to dissent is not enough.

This never would have happened under former County Executive Tom Suozzi. He excelled at building consensus. He’d give beginning-to-end refi ned and illuminat-ing plans to anyone who’d listen. His goal always seemed to be to persuade, to con-vince, to enlighten, to make believers out of skeptics.

To their credit, the administrators tasked with promoting Mangano’s policing plan have made themselves amply available. Dep-uty Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter and Chief Deputy County Executive Robert Walker have conducted a multi-stop tour worthy of the Rolling Stones; the problem is, they haven’t been able to provide answers to the most fundamental questions.

During a Baldwin campaign stop a few months ago, Walker intimated that the plan had been under development for almost two years. But at the same meeting, he was unable to tell nervous residents what their new policing center would look like, what services it would and would not provide, how many people would staff it and what those people would be empowered to do. Those are not questions that can go unan-swered at this late stage.

Again, all indications are that the pre-cinct revamp will be a victory for Nassau County. But when it comes to public health and safety, indications are insuffi cient. This isn’t a new sports venue or a remapping of voting districts. This is a wholesale recon-struction of law enforcement in this county, and the fact that no one knows, or at least is willing to share, the very foundations of the plan is unacceptable.

We have heard Mangano’s version of the What: undiminished police protection at a lower cost to taxpayers. Now it is time for him to address the How, Where and When. This plan may very well be a good one, but with the facts that have thus far been di-vulged, how would anyone know?

Saying goodbye to ‘intrepid journalist’Father Kevin Smith, Pas-

tor of St. Dominic, welcomed the hundreds that gathered to pay their respects to Col-vin’s family and celebrate her life.

“The Colvin family is an important part of this par-ish. We are with you today and always for anything you might need,” the Pastor de-clared to her mother Rose-marie, brothers William and Michael and sisters Aileen and Cathleen as well as her nieces and nephews who sat in the front pews.

Family friend Katrina Heron delivered a touching eulogy about the two sides of Colvin, the hardcore jour-nalist and the lighthearted sailor who loved to laugh.

“These surroundings to-

day are a bit sedated for her taste,” said Heron, “Her voice was unmistakable — expansive, amusing, irre-sistibly self-confi dent, self-deprecating, full of passion, full of belief and very much alive. Marie sought out light, beauty, wisdom, truth and fun.”

Talent and guts

Describing her as an “in-trepid reporter who was completely in command of her craft,” Heron was in awe of her blend of talent and guts. “She struggled with worldly woes, took on ever greater risks in her work and she trusted life. She lived in the attempt. She never went anywhere without her reporter’s notebooks,” she

said. “Marie died valorously and with nearly unimagina-ble bravery doing the work she believed in. We are so proud of her.”

Colvin looked to her fam-ily and friends for warmth, bonding and recreation. “She came come to us to play and have fun. She sailed like a bird in fl ight. I picture her sailing on a day like today on the beautiful bay,” said Heron. “She had a genius for bringing peo-ple together and everyone was defenseless against her laughter.”

Rev. Dennis Mason, OFM conducted the Mass along with Auxiliary Bishop Paul Walsh from the Diocese of Rockville Centre along with concelebrants Fr. Smith, Monsignor Robert O. Mor-

rissey – Secretary to Bishop William Murphy and Fr. Ge-rard Gordon, Associate Pas-tor of St. Dominic’s.

In his homily, Rev. Mason painted a picture of Colvin meeting Jesus in heaven and what he would say to her as he greeted her. “Per-haps in our hearts we can see Jesus taking Marie by the hand, drawing her to himself and saying, ‘Blessed are you Marie. Like my dis-ciples you have continued my presence and power in this world. Blessed are you Marie in your hunger and thirst for righteousness and your courage to be the voice for the voiceless. Blessed are you Marie for your mer-cy, which led you to risk your life so many times over for the sake of those who

no one else would show mercy.”

Praising her selfl ess-ness, Rev. Mason said, “Her fi rst thought was never for herself but always for the other. She was persecuted for righteousness and there-fore will inherit the land of promise. We will remember her as the most respected, talented, compassionate, selfl ess journalist of her generation.”

Standing Up for Marie

Outside on the sidewalk Tamil Americans from the United States Tamil Political Action Council (USTPAC) held up posters in support of Colvin’s work as a jour-nalist. “When the world was turning a blind eye, Marie

was courageous and alwaysbrought out the truth,” saidSeetharam Sivam of theUSTPAC. “She was the voicefor the voiceless people andwe want to thank her forwhat she did for us. She’spart of our family.”

Fox News commentatorJudy Miller was in tears asshe left the church at theconclusion of the ceremonyfor her friend. “She dieddoing what she loved todo. She told the stories ofpeople whose voices needto be heard,” Miller said.“That’s just about our onlyconsolation right now. I’mprivileged to have been herfriend.”

Family and friends gath-ered at a post-Mass recep-tion at the Crescent BeachClub in Bayville.

environmental education within her community. Dur-ing her career as a natural history teacher in schools and organizations through-out Long Island, includ-ing the Human Resources School, Holy Child School and Planting Fields Arbore-tum, she worked to advance environmental awareness in future generations.

Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Cen-ter Advisory Board member, Betsy Gulotta has been an advocate for environmen-tal conservation for many years.

In addition to her teach-ing career at Nassau Com-munity College, Gulotta worked for the New York State Department of Envi-ronmental Conservation for three years writing a unit management plan for state-owned tidal wetlands. In 2001, she helped found Friends of Hempstead Plains at Nassau Community Col-lege, a non-profi t organiza-tion dedicated to preserving and restoring the historic prairie habitat known as the Hempstead Plains.

In addition, Gulotta is ac-tive in South Shore Audu-bon Society, was a member and chair of the Friends of Hofstra University Arbore-tum, and also supports The Nature Conservancy and Long Island Botanical Soci-ety.

As a lifelong resident of Muttontown, Nancy Pirtle has always been aware of the rich history and impor-tance of the land on the North Shore, which her family moved to in the late 1940s. She has given many years of dedicated service and unstinting generosity to her community.

Pirtle and her family demonstrated their commit-ment to environmental pres-ervation in 1970 through their donation of 400 acres of land in Muttontown. This land, which is com-

prised of fi elds, woodlands, ponds, and estate grounds, ultimately became the Mut-tontown Preserve, Nassau County’s largest nature-preserve. Additionally Pirtle is particularly proud of her twenty-year association with the Theodore Roos-evelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center.

Upcoming Programs

TRS Director Ted Scherff was beaming with pride over the Sanctuary and he’s looking forward to the up-coming spring activities and summer camps.

“We encourage the fam-ily unit to do things together in nature,” he said. “One of my greatest joys is meet-ing grandparents bring-ing their grandkids to our youth activities and hearing that they brought their chil-dren and they came here as a child themselves. At this point we are witness-ing three generations of the Sanctuary’s legacy.”

Coming up on April 7th the Sanctuary will host one of its most popular pro-grams, Eggstravaganza, where kids, ages 2-10, can meet egg-laying animals and they can create their own basket then search for prize-fi lled eggs on the nature trails. “This event sells out every year,” said TRS Outreach Coordinator Brooke Roeper. “It keeps growing in popularity.”

Keeping with the nature theme Wildlife Care Coordi-nator Alice Bryant displayed a live red-tailed hawk at the event, which guests ad-mired. Meanwhile Caretak-er Blair Broughton showed off an American Kestrel.

“This is our biggest fund-raiser of the year and it’s important that the com-munity comes out to sup-port us. This is what makes the Sanctuary run,” said co-Vice President/co-chair Marian Minkin. “The Sanc-tuary is one of Oyster Bay’s

pearls. To have 16 acres of open space in the middle of Oyster Bay is a big deal. We don’t want this place to turn into the next subdivision therefore we need commu-nity support to keep it go-ing.”

Board member and long-time supporter Ed Mohlen-hoff was on hand to greet new supporters and wel-come them into the fold. “I strongly believe in the Audubon mission and edu-cating the young people about nature,” he said. “The Sanctuary is a real gem of a place. If you’ve lived in Oyster Bay, you probably spent a lot of time here as a child. I was lucky enough to grow up around it and spent many years there.”

come to our programs for school, therapy, recreation, housing and socialization. We can’t have those pro-grams and level of services without the support of the community,” said Robert McGuire, UCPN Executive Director. “People have so much fun at this event that they come back every year and bring more friends. These are all generous people who just want to do good.”

UCPN has raised more than a quarter of a mil-lion dollars over the years and the tally is getting big-ger. “The crowd has shown up big time this year and, luckily, the weather is co-operating,” said event co-chairman/founder Jack “Polar Bear Extraordinaire” Sullivan. “The water is the warmest that we’ve seen in eight years (42 degrees) but

it’s still cold.”One person who was

missing in body but was present in spirit was late former co-chair and long-time UCPN board member Lenny Ferraro. However, his daughter Lisa Ferraro was representing him. “This is a very emotional day for me. I know he’s here with us,” she said. “The sun is shining down today and I’m sure my dad’s smiling down on us.”

Ex-Atlantic Steamer Fire Chief Frank Ozol of Oyster Bay served as co-chair of the event. The Steamers served over 600 free hot dogs to the crowd even before the swim began causing Ozol to say, “This is easily our big-gest year yet!”

Both Assemblyman Har-vey Weisenberg of Long Beach and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Ven-ditto were both on hand to lend their support to the

cause. “I’m not just here as a legislator I’m here as a parent of a special child who has Cerebral Palsy but he only gives me happiness. I know how diffi cult it is. This is the reality you learn when you get involved with UCPN,” the Assemblyman said. “The UCPN provides leadership and they care enough to become surrogate parents to these kids. We are so grateful to them.”

Amazed at the size of the crowd, Venditto stated, “If you look around here you have residents from all cor-ners of the township com-ing together voluntarily and unselfi shly to do the right thing. The enthusiasm you feel in the air is genuine. Ev-eryone is working as a com-munity team. It seems to be building every year making the event bigger and better.”

Tom Bazzini came with a gang of guys from the Long

Beach Polar Bears who hold their own Polar Bear Swim in Long Beach on Super Bowl Sunday, which drew 6,000 swimmers and 20,000 spectators last month. The LBPBs raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation and they generously raised $3,000 for UCPN this year.

“I’m grateful to have a healthy daughter and this is our way of giving back and showing some gratitude,” said Bazzini. “Things are a bit different in Oyster Bay than in Long Beach. We are used to sandy beaches. You guys have rocks, which is more challenging on the toes. But this is all good pos-itive energy.”

Diana Trama & Cheryl McManus of Bayville went in the water in honor of Tra-ma’s late husband Michael and McManus’ late father-in-law Francis. “I thought it would be a good way to re-member both of them,” said McManus. “This is some-thing they both would have done and enjoyed.”

The Oyster Bay-East Nor-wich Chamber of Commerce raised $2,000 for Trustee Alex Gallego to hit the wa-ter. “We support all kinds of causes in the community and this one touches our com-munity closely. For the 5th year in a row we have Alex Gallego getting in the water representing the Chamber,”

said Chamber President Mi-chele Browner. “We call himThe Baby Bull!”

Oyster Bay High SchoolInteract Club advisor Lak-shmi Narendran got a teamof students to raise fundsand take the plunge. “It wascold but I’m glad the airwas warm,” said sophomoreNick Augustine, 16, of Oys-ter Bay as he dried off.

“I thought I was going tobe hyperventilating when Igot out but I was fi ne,” saidsophomore Mimi Grassi, 16,of Oyster Bay.

SPORTSOUT IN RIGHT FIELDBy Jeff Davis

Coaching and teaching sports isn’t easy

Spring is in the air! The Little League teams are beginning to be put together. Parents are out try-ing to give their children some early instruction that will jumpstart their child and help ensure a great season. Lacrosse is everywhere as is tennis and soc-cer, and it is still March! For most of us who have been locked up in our homes waiting for the warm weather so we can get out, we understand that it is more important that our children rid themselves of “Basement Syndrome.” This is a condition that most contagious and is noted by young adults, children and even our youngest having a game stick in hand and being pointed in front of a monitor of some sorts. It is a condition that can leave children lack-ing in color, overweight and sometimes even bereft of friends. How can sports help?

Sports are part of learning how to be an indi-vidual, how to work in groups, having self respect, learning to do something without a parent being the leader, and most importantly learning that failure is part of life. For the tennis player, the golfer, or the bowler, when you are out there you are alone. The hit, the miss, the strike or the gutter bowl, it is all you. Mom and Dad can’t help; it is what you have done to prepare for that moment. It’s like taking a test. If you haven’t studied, attended class or lis-tened to the teacher; when you get a D or an F, what did you really expect? For team sports, it is meeting new friends, learning what it is to play or succeed in that sport, learning the skill and also seeing where you fi t in with the pack. Children aren’t blind and they know where their skill set leaves them. Not ev-eryone bats fourth, pitches perfectly and is the kid every coach wants on their team.

That all being said, children put into the practice regimen, the game condition, just as in school feel notable stress. In this set, parents can only do so much to alleviate what their children feel. It is the up to the coaches to deal with these stresses and make the game fun, the sport learnable, and under-stand that the world is not decided upon the Little League diamond, on the tennis court or the soc-cer fi eld. For many parents, who almost always are coaching their own children, they must be aware of not only how the children perceive them but also how the parents perceive their coaching. Coaches are often accused of playing favorites, letting their child play the most or have the best position. They say it to themselves, they say it to other team par-ents and their children hear it and suddenly an ad-ditional stress is added to the child/player.

This is just reality. So as it is early in the season I have put together a number of books that parents who are going to coach should read. Every parent who coaches already believes that he knows all about the sport but teaching it to 5 year olds or 12 year olds is a must if you really want to be a mentor and a meaningful coach. None of these books says that winning is what children coaches must teach. I recommend the following:

■ How to Coach Little League Baseball… by Jack Patterson

■ Managing Little League by Ned McIntosh■ Coaching Youth Lacrosse by American Sports

Education Program■ Beyond Winning, The Timeless Wisdom of Great

Philosopher Coaches by Gary WaltonIf you want to be a coach, be a good coach and

learn what it takes for a parent to be successful coaching other people’s children. Moms remember that coaching isn’t just for Dads. In many respects most Mom don’t have the memories about how good you were supposed to be when you were a player. At the very least make sure your husband coach, who no doubt played like Mantle, understands modern child psychology, as well as every rule of the game, at least reads something on how to teach the sport and how to interact with parents of children on the team. Coaching can be fun and rewarding but it does take some preparation.
