There are days that beingthe mayor can make one feellike his is carrying a tremendous amount of weight on hisshoulders and a relief valve isneeded This year I took up anew hobby/sport, stand-uppaddle boarding. Not only isthis incredible exercise but italso provides for some solitudeand quiet time to reflect. As Imake my way over to SandsPoint and back, I stand in the

middle of the harbor looking atour majestic Village and feeltremendous pride and gratitude to be such an integralpart of our community.

It has been a great summerin Sea Cliffi The residentscame down to the beach andenjoyed the expanded pavilionfacility in record numbers.The kitchen expansion and improvements allowed for amuch broader menu. The arts

Senior Survey

The Senior Survey is complete and we are ready to sharewith you some of our findings.The purpose of this survey wasto collect information from thesenior citizens in our community in order to assess demographics, individual’s needsand interests, awareness ofcommunity programs and perceptions of said programs.

We sent out 1127 surveys toSea Cliff residents 60 years oldand over. We received responses from 161 residents,making our overall response

Sea Cliff BeautificationCommittee’s annual luncheonwill be held at the beautifulBailey’s Arboretum in LocustValley. The grounds will bebright with fall foliage, andthe raptors are fascinating.

John Canning, as well asmusic by Joint Venture (aband of talented Sea Cliff lo

~ cals), and a barbershop quar~ tet. We attracted quite a~ crowd as we celebrated Joe

and what a big part of our com; munity he has become..i Local resident Bifi Long pur~ chased the two dilapidated.1 buildings on Sea Cliff Avenue0 (the former ceramics stores)

and has begun a complete re: habilitation. It is exciting to

see such investment in our-I downtown and we are very ex~ cited to see the end product ofu what is certainly a much apD preciated project.5 We have also been graced~ with a new sushi restaurant at‘ the old Once Upon a Moose loE cation. The new restaurant,J opened by Alan and Melisa) Geller, is named “Wansuapona~ Musu”, a play on the name ofo the former restaurant. Alan• and Melisa put their heart and

soul into every detail of thej decor, menu and ambiance oft the restaurant and have beenL rewarded with rave reviews.

I am sad to state that Rose’sGeneral Store has closed itsdoors. Chris and Rose Posthad really done a great job inopening a charming old fashioned general store reminiscent of our childhood days.They made the hard decisionof closing their doors due toeconomic and health concerns

rate 14.3%. Although this doesnot overtly seem to be a largerate of return, it is however statistically significant. From oursurvey we were able to collect arandom sample of our seniorpopulation. When reviewingthe data, we fqund the highestresponse rate was 20.5% in the81-85 age group, and our lowestresponse rate was 9.9% in the66-70 age group. Our oldest respondent was 99 years old andour youngest was 61 years old.We found that our sample varied on the awareness of programs available to our Vifiage.This included programs provided by Senior Outreach (68%aware), Senior Action (57%aware), Mutual Concerns (78%aware) and the Glen Cove Senior Center (57% aware). As faras participation, 25% of ourseniors reported using at leastone of these programs.

When assessing employmentstatus we found that 67% of ourseniors are retired. 40% of ourseniors volunteer in our community.

Please plan to join us.Bernards is catering thelunch, and there is a plethoraof wonderful raffle prizes.The cost is $25.00; the time is11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Fortickets or information, callSally Davies at 671-0831.

but they have opened an online store. Chris and Rose, wewish you all the best in yourongoing endeavors and thankyou for five years of memories— you are missed already.

The Board of Trustees and Icontinue to be busy with thebusiness of Sea Cliff. The continued renovation of VillageHall and the construction of asewer line are among ourbiggest project priorities. Continuing to keep spendingunder control (the budget actually decreased this year), weare convinced that throughconsistent effort these projectswill be funded through federalandlor state grants. We arealso continuing the monumental task of a codification of ourCode Book; the last time thistask was done was in 1979 byMayor Francis Deegan. I amalso continuing to look at areasto save taxpayers moneythrough consolidation of sen.’-ices with our neighboring communities.

The support and assistanceI continue to receive from ourresidents, boards, volunteergroups, and staff is truly appreciated as I continue to steerour glorious Sea Cliff forward.The work of the mayor is neverdone, but when looked at witha clear mind from the distanceof the middle of HempsteadHarbor, the effort is well worthit.

Summary of Findings

Transportation data was alsocollected. Fourteen percent ofour seniors report that they donot drive. Eight percent reportthat they require rides to thedoctor and the grocery store.Overall, 69% of our seniors areaware that Sea Cliff providestransportation to doctor’s appointments, to Mutual Concerns lunches and to thegrocery store. Five percenthave used Village transportation for these purposes.

Generally our seniors have awide variety of interests andhobbies and they report wanting more activity programs, especially exercise.

Safety was also a focus. Ourseniors commented on bothpedestrian and automotivesafety. Stop sign noncompliance, speeding cars and obstructed sidewalks were alllisted.

Taxes and affordable houCingwere also an area of concern forour seniors.

There were some commentsasking for a “friendly visitor

Nestled around the quainthomes and streets of Sea Cliff,a main attraction of the Village is the presence of manydifferent trees providing refreshing green leaves and colorful flowers in spring,welcome shade and coolingduring the hot days of summer, and colorful fall foliage.Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, these trees arenow being lost at an increasingrate, impacting the quality oflife in the Village. These factors include environmentalstresses such as weather extremes, aging of old-growthtrees, invasive and non-nativeplants, insects, diseases, andincreased land development.

United States war memorials are located all over ourplanet. Granite, bronze, andmarble crosses, plaques, andstatues serve as silent reminders of the high cost offreedom.

Here in Sea Clift war memorials honor the sacrifice ofsoldiers, sailors, airmen andmarines from the Spanish-American war to date. Thenames listed on our memorialsare a true reflection of theircontribution, in Mr. Lincoln’swords, of their last full measure of devotion.

program.” As far as how ourseniors get their information,The Gold Coast Gazette, TheVillage Bulletin and word ofmouth appear to be most reported.So where do we go fromhere?

This is a starting point forour Village. We currently provide a wide variety of programsfor our senior community. Inour small Village we shouldshoot for 100% awareness ofour programs, which wifi resultin a higher level of participation and better programming.We can do better disseminatinginformation, maybe a seniorcalendar of events? Our seniorpopulation appears to volunteer and we can better harnessthis talent and energy. Volunteering is good for both thegiver and the receiver. Seniorshelping seniors is a fruitful collaboration and fodder for futureplanning. Finally, as a community we can commit to insuringthe safety of our seniors byabiding by traffic laws and

This last factor can be addressed if everyone considersthe impact of trees when landscaping or modii~ing theirproperties.

Remembering the time ittakes for a tree to grow to acertain height should makeone pause when thinkingabout removing it. In somecases it may be necessary(such as when a tree is diseased, dead, dying, or threatens to fall), but many timesthere are ways to live with thetree. Please consider all alternatives before deciding to remove any tree, and rememberthat Sea Cliff has a Village ordinance requiring a permit before doing any removal or

who died defending our way oflife.

In 1919, the Village dedicated a World War I bronzeplaque mounted on a hugeboulder in Clifton Park. Theboulder is flanked on each sideby four oak trees, living memorials to the eight war dead.

In the 1940’s, shortly afterthe beginning ofWorld War II,Mayor Myles and the VillageBoard unanimously approvedthe purchase of the property ofthe former Battershall Inn—tobe dedicated as Veterans’ Memorial Park. The park wascompleted and dedicated during the administration ofMayor John Bums. Memorial

clearing our sidewalks. Let’s remove obstacles that may curtailthe access and the activity ofour seniors.

In the same spirit of accessand activity the Village provides transportation to our seniors so they may meet theirbasic needs. We are very excited to soon have a new Villagebus with a planned arrival dateof this October. The bus was80% purchased with a Federalgrant and will replace our current bus.

It is not too late to voice yourcomments and concerns regarding our senior community. Weare focused on our future and inthe process of evaluating ourVillage Plan for Senior Citizens. This new data will be incorporated as we move forward.Feel free to share your thoughtsby visiting or calling Karen atSenior Outreach, Village Hall,671-0080 x 20.kmontagnese@seacliff-ny.gov

Thistree removal permit, requestedat the Vifiage Hall, is requiredfor all trees that are greaterthan eight inches in diameter.The Village Tree Committeewill inspect each tree proposedto be removed and providefeedback to the property owners, working with the applicants to address their concernsin a way that balances the applicant’s needs and the goals ofmaintaining the character ofthe Village.

If you have any questionsabout thetree Permit process,please feel free to contact theTree Committee through theVillage Hall.

Park is today a beautiful placeof memory, contemplation, andthe celebration of freedom— aswell as the hallowed location ofour Vietnam, Korea, andWorld War II memorials.

As Americans and Sea Cliffresidents, we are mindful ofthe fact that our war memorials are places of honor andthat we owe all the names onall the plaques a debt of gratitude and respect.

We stand before our memorials and, in contemplation,are saddened by the realitythat, in the sweet springtimeof their life, these brave soulsforfeited everything. We mustalways honor them.

HOW & WHY TO BUILD A RAIN GARDENby Eric Swenson, Executive Director of the Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee

Rain gardens are gardens thatare specifically designed tosoak up rain water, mainlyfrom roofs, but also from driveways and patios. They look likeregular flower gardens but theyare more. When it rains, a raingarden fills with a few inches ofwater and allows the water toslowly filter into the groundrather than running off to thestorm drains. Compared tolawns, rain gardens allowabout 30% more water to soakinto the ground! They also helpkeep stormwater out of thestreets so pollutants are not

carried down into storm drainsand into the harbor.Choosing a SpotWhen choosing a location, pickan area that is relatively flat orhas a slight depression. Keepthe following in mind:• Rain gardens are NOT a solution to wet areas! There mustbe good drainage so that raincan soak in within 24 hoursafter a rainfall. This will alsoprevent your garden from becoming a mosquito haven.• It should be at least 10 feetaway from the house. Use agutter lead or build a swale to

direct rainwater from roof gutter or driveway to garden.• The garden should receivefull or partial sunlight.• Avoid the area over a septicsystem.• There must be an overflowoutlet that wifi transport excessrainfall to a proper location (notyour neighbor’s lawn!).How Big?The size of your garden will depend upon 3 factors: 1) the sizeof the drainage area; 2) the typeof soils on the site; and 3) thedepth of the garden. A typicalrain garden ranges from 100 to

300 square feet. For advice oncalculating the dimensions, callthe Nassau County Soil andWater Conservation District at(516) 364-5860.Ready to Dig?• Use string to outline theshape of your garden.• On a slope, more digging willbe required on the uphill side.Use extra soil to build a bermon the downhill side.• The bottom of the gardenmust be flat and level.• Don’t forget to make an overflow for heavy rain events!

Plant SelectionChoose plants that have a variety of heights, textures, andbloom times. Native perennialplants are recommended. It isimportant to select plants thatcan tolerate both wet and dryconditions, and that are suitedto the sun/shade exposure ofyour garden. Twice a year, theLong Island Native Plant Initiative (L~NPI) holds a nativeplant sale. They can bereached at: (631) 560-9945.

ENTER MADELINE KLEby Jean Davis, Vifiage Historian

HOW’S YOUR ROOF?by Kathleen Van Bloem

In October of 1964 the CivicAssociation wanted to do something to make Long Islandaware of the Vifiage of Sea Cliffand its unique placement onthe north shore of Long Island.

At that time we had a groupof artists who had moved intothe Village to join our alreadyestablished artists. Enter Madeline Ke who had the idea thatwe could have a Craft and ArtShow that would attract peopleto the Village. She called it, “TheSquare Mile of Art”. Shestepped forward to take theleadership to make it happen.

The idea grew, committeesformed, and merchants offeredtheir store windows to artists

Sea Cliff Fire Departmentheld its annual inspection onJune 9 in front of the firehouse.The department’s new chief,Danny Whittemore, gave awarm welcoming speech at thestart of the ceremony. Housechaplain John Hesse prayedthe opening prayer. Department chiefs, Village officialsand visiting chiefs made the

The following company awards werepresented: Sea Cliff Fire Department Hook & Ladder Company won trophies for the mostfirefighters in line and thehighest percentage of participation. The Engine & Hose Company was given a trophy for the“Best Appearing” Company.

the antique dealers found usand took over three stores, thencame a local travel agency, apottery shop that gave greenware classes, a bookstore, aframe shop, a real estate office, and the Chocolate Mousseopened its doors for lunch. Thisidea developed into the MiniMart, which brought thousandsof people to the Village foryears to come.

So we thank the creative,brave people, like Madeline,who saw where we can go andwhat we could do in this SquareMile.

Leave it to Sea Cliff to findanother unusual way to celebrate life in the Village. OnJuly 15, the town came out tocelebrate Joe Mazzeo’s SOyears as a barber in Bart’sBarber Shop opened by Joe’sdad Bart in 1934. Part of SeaCliff Avenue was closed off formusic by Alfreeda with KrisRice, Dan Roth and JoeCiampa, and dancing in thestreet. Tracey Warzer of theCreative Arts Studio hosted areception in her studio andRob Mansfield of Grassrootssupplied the refreshments.Everyone was walking aroundwith the uniquely designed“Joe Celebrates 50 Years atBart’s” tee shirts, and most appropriate for the occasion there

was entertainment by a Barber Shop Quartet, Neal Siegaland His Big Butter and EggMen.

Emcee John Canning helpedto keep things festive and fun,including running a Sea Clifftrivia contest where residentswere able to win a Joe Mazzeotee shirt if they came up withthe right answers. MayorBruce Kennedy presented Joewith a proclamation from theVillage that read: “Whereas,the Village of Sea Cliff has arich heritage and Americanatraditions; and whereas, BartMazzeo established one ofthose traditions by openingBart’s Barber Shop back in1934; and Whereas, Bart realized his son Joe’s only passions

were pretty young girls andmellow aged wine, he wiselysent him to Barber School andtook him into the business; andwhereas, over the next 50years, Bart’s Barber Shop became Joe’s Barber Shop andhis son created the distinctive“Sea Cliff Cut” which madeSea Cliff men recognizablearound the world; and Therefore be it Resolved in the nameof all residents of Sea Cliff, theMayor does hereby declareJuly 15,2012 to be Joe MazzeoDay in the Incorporated Village of Sea Cliff and the Boardof Trustees honors, recognizesand salutes Joe for 50 years ofservice to the community thatwould not be the same withouthim.”

After two successfhl years ofthe Clear Bag Leaf CollectionProgram, the Village Boardhas decided to continue thisprogram for the 2012 leaf season. This program continues tokeep our streets cleaner andsafer in addition to reducingthe rising cost of leaf collection.This program continues tokeep total leaf disposal tonnage down, eliminating leavesin the road by landscapers whoillegally bring leaves fromother communities or do notproperly dispose of the leaves.The public’s cooperation in theimplementation of this program last year was excellentand helped continue its success. As a reminder, the detailsregarding the leaf program areas follows:

The Sea Cliff Silly Shakespeare Company (SCSSC) inconjunction with the Sea CliffCivic Association presentstheir delightful version ofWilliam Shakespeare’s “JuliusCaesar” with a decided “MontyPython’s Flying Circus” twist.For the tenth season, SCSSCwill perform its hilarious version at the Sea Cliff BeachPavilion Theater on Saturday,September 22 at 6 p.m. TheSCSSC’s version, titled appropriately, “Julius Caesar’s Flying Circus,” provides thetheater going public with anedited, credible and entirelyaccessible version of Shake-

raked into the streets. Leavesin clear plastic bags can beplaced curbside on either ofyour two garbage days (Monday & Thursday or Tuesday &Friday). This policy is effectiveimmediately.

• Please place only leaves inthe clear plastic bags. If anyhousehold refuse, grass, or debris is visible inside, the bagwffl not be collected. This is important since contaminatedleaves cannot be compostedand add to the waste stream.

• There is no limit to thenumber of clear plastic bagsyou can place curbside between November 5 and December 21. For the remainder ofthe year, a maximum of fourbags may be placed curbsideon your “rubbish” or “heavy”collection day.

• At any point throughoutthe year, leaves placed in blackor white plastic bags will be

speare’s “Julius Caesar,” whileat the same time using interactivity with the audience andsome of the Monty Pythontroupe’s shtick to help aid andabet this tragedy’s storylinewith humor.

Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” explores the events of 44B.C. during which the citizenry of ancient Rome fearedthe growing power of JuliusCaesar, the only likely candidate amongst a succession ofmilitary leaders to achieve thestatus of absolute ruler ofRome’s growing empire. Theinfighting amongst these likewise ambitious military lead-

treated as rubbish.The plastic bags will be

separated from the leaves andrecycled. Clear plastic bags areavailable at local supermarkets, large discount stores andlocal hardware stores. Pleaselimit clear plastic bags to the45-gallon size.

• Landscapers are requiredto remove leaves and dispose ofthem at their cost.

• Failure to comply withthese regulations will result infines.

We look forward to everyone’s continued cooperationwith the program for the goodof your neighbors and the Village. Landscapers are awareof these changes, but we needyour help to ensure your landscaper’s compliance.

Ifyou have any questions regarding this new program orneed to report violators, pleasecall Village Hall, 671-0080.

One of the most importantendeavors in Public Works isimproving and maintaining infrastructure throughout theVillage. This infrastructure includes road maintenance,drainage, sign maintenance,public buildings including theVifiage Hall, libraries, Department of Public Works, thebeach pavilion, the firehouseand equipment. The followingis an update on some of theVillage’s recent infrastructureendeavors.

Roads: In June and Julythe following roads were pavedby the Village: Downing Avenue from Glen Cove Avenueto Carpenter Avenue, GlenolaAvenue from Glen Cove Avenue to Carpenter Avenue,19th Avenue from Central Avenue to Prospect Avenue, 17thAvenue from Park Avenue toProspect Avenue, Harbor Wayfrom Carpenter Avenue toMarlen Court. The VillageDPW placed curbing prior topaving at these locations to improve drainage and maintainthe edge of the road. Approximately one third of the cost ofthis work was paid by the NewYork State Department ofTransportation through theirConsolidated local street andhighway improvement program.

County Roads: Startingthe end of August, NassauCounty will be paving ProspectAvenue from Glen Avenue toSea CliffAvenue and Glen Avenue from Prospect Avenue toGlen Cove Avenue.

Signs: DPW crews havebeen out replacing cautionsigns and stop signs that havefaded. They are also clearingovergrown brush that oftenblocks the view of these signs

by oncoming traffic. Crewshave also been adding reflective red and yellow strips onthe post of stop signs and caution signs for better night visibility. Residents can help byassuring that their hedges andshrubbery stay pruned in amanner which does not blocksigns.

Beach Pavilion: The expansion and rehabilitation ofthe beach pavilion was completed and has been enjoyed byall. The arts gazebo is complete but work continues onthe speaker enclosures, housing the speaker systems,which were donated by JerrySimpson. The new shade sail,which was paid for by theTown of Oyster Bay, has beeninstalled and will provide additional shade for some beachactivities, particularly those byour seniors.

Village Hall/Library: TheVillage has applied for a second grant through the Office ofParks and Historic Preservation to work on Phase II of Village Hall renovation. Thisphase will address the remaining exterior repairs to thebuilding to assure it stayswater tight.

New Motor Equipment:The Village has purchased anew midsize dump truck withplow and sander. In the nearfhture the Village will be purchasing a new sanitationtruck. In October the Villagewill be receiving a new seniorbus which will include capacityfor 10 ambulatory persons andtwo handicap spaces includinga wheel chair lift. Eighty percent of this new bus is beingpaid for by a grant from theNew York State Department ofTransportation.
