Calhoun wrestling is on the rise says second-year Head Coach Steve Romano. With seniorCaptains Jenard Rosemond and Austin Heckerleading by example, the team is driven bystructured practices. This enabled the team toaccomplish individual and team goals.

Rosemond, along with sophomore AnthonyFitzsimmons, took first place in the Section 8qualifier. Rosemond went on to finish third inthe Section 8 County Tournament and receiveda wild card to compete in the New York StateTournament in Albany.

He ended his career by taking sixth against

some very good competition. He is the firstwrestler to place in the state tournament in thelast 10 years from Calhoun.

Another surprise was Julian Arroyo, who tooksecond in the Section 8 County Tournamentafter missing the entire 2011/2012 year.

The team has a bright future with ChrisJohnson (second), Willie Jutt (second), MattKrause, (third), Dillon Goldstein (fourth),Pedro Moreno (fourth), Joseph Marcantonio(fifth), Phillip Popkin (sixth), Terran Cooper(sixth) and Isaiah Arroyo (sixth), all placing inSection 8 qualifier.

160 construction workers have been working 24 hours/six days a week inthree shifts since February 8 in the worst of weather to meet a Wednesday,April 24, deadline imposed by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to open the roadto full traffic, or face a $25,000 fine for every day it is not open after that.

The once-pristine highway and many of its dunes were torn to shreds bysuperstorm Sandy, and the reconstruction work was needed to repair thedunes to protect the roadway – and traffic.

“The tri-venture contractors, Picone, Bove and Tully, have until April 24 tobe completely finished or they will start getting fined $25,000 day,” remarkedEileen Peters, a state Department of Transportation spokeswoman. The DOTis the sole agency involved in rebuilding the dunes and road.

She said side projects would continue after the road was opened, but wouldnot impede traffic.

This reporter was accompanied along the closed ocean side of the roadto witness several construction activities on a 24-hour/six-day pace takingplace in preparation for re-opening.

Roadway, protection goneSuperstorm Sandy washed out nearly five miles of dunes abutting the road-

way that protect it against ocean elements, such as blowing sand and tidalwaters.

With much of the road exposed to the ocean with no dune protection, theeastbound, or ocean side, of the parkway was closed, leaving one lane foreach direction of traffic on the two-lane bay side of the road.

One section of the ocean side tarmac was completely washed out, requir-ing new pavement to be put down.

Ed Donovan, a project engineer for the DOT with offices at Field 10 atJones Beach, told this newspaper he has seen no traffic tie-ups in either direc-tion since the two-lane bay side of Ocean Parkway started handling traffic inboth directions. Byron Alford, regional constructional engineer for the OceanParkway project, confirmed he travels east on Ocean Parkway to his office inHauppauge each day and has seen no traffic jams either.

The transfer of cars from the ocean side to the bay side takes place wellbeyond Field 6, at the turnaround enabling drivers to turn around from east towest, near the Tobay Beach entrance.

Once transferring over, those driving east quickly see new dunes on theocean side covered with a straw-type material – or erosion-control net –with sandy patches indicating grass plugs.

Some five miles of Ocean Parkway are being reconstructed with newdunes, and topsoil placed atop them to provide for several species of vegeta-tion.

“1.2 million plugs of beach grass arebeing placed in dunes,” said Mr. Alford,“to provide for rooting in the dunes, whichhelp stabilize them.”

The special vegetation, such as redcedar, pitch pine, black cherry, chokeberry,bayberry, beach plum, rugosa rose, bear-berry, shore juniper and Virginia creeper,will further help stabilize the dunes whileenhancing the dune environment, contin-ued Mr. Alford.

Along the closed ocean side of the park-way sit several huge mounds of top soilbeing devoured one at a time by a one-armed bucket crane that digs into themound and dumps the load onto a convey-or-type platform. The conveyor belt movesthe dirt into position to be dropped onto thedune. Workers from a local landscapingcompany spread the topsoil out across thedune with a rake.

Still farther along the road several work-ers are planting grass atop the dunes.

One-day rest“The special payloader trucks have been

working 24 hours, six days a week to haulthe sand along the ocean side of the roadand then dump it. A bulldozer then spreadsthe sand using a global positioning systemthat tells it precisely where to deposit the

sand,” said Ms. Peters. Rebuilding thedunes is done scientifically, she said.

Mr. Alford said one day is given to pro-vide maintenance for up to two dozentrucks working three shifts to haul sand.

He said the sand is being dredged fromthe Fire Island Inlet, and pumped to pay-loaders that dump the sand into the trucks.

Pointing on a map to a large sand bar inthe middle of the inlet,Mr. Alford saidboaters have com-plained for yearsabout poor navigationinto and out of theinlet because of thesand bar.

Both Jones BeachInlet and RockawayInlet have jetties thatprevent the westernshift of sand into theinlet. But no such jet-ties exist at Fire IslandInlet, creating thelarge sand bar.

Mr. Alford said600,000 cubic feet ofsand was removedfrom the sand bar forOcean Parkway, withanother 200,000cubic feet to be

removed to fix the Robert Moses StatePark traffic circle, also severely damaged.

The total cost of the two-month projectis $33 million, and workers are working inall kinds of weather conditions to get theproject completed, concluded Mr. Alford.

DOT busy elsewhereMeanwhile, the DOT is in the middle of

replacing the 1930s tunnel underneathOcean Parkway that links the Central Malland parking field four, an over-$2 millionproject planned well before superstormSandy hit, said Ms. Peters.

She added that the extension of theWantagh Parkway bikepath to Jones Beachthrough parking Field 4 is also on scheduleto be completed by Memorial Day.

MOUNDS OF TOPSOIL punctuate Ocean Parkway, bottom, and are being used to cover the tops ofseveral rebuilt sand dunes using heavy conveyor machinery, top. Several species of vegetation willbe planted to further strengthen the dunes to make them ocean worthy.

NEW DUNES feature straw-ero-sion protection and plugs forbeach grass to stabilize them.

Ocean Parkway to open April 24from page 1

The Town of Hempstead will hold apublic hearing at Town Hall inHempstead village on Tuesday, April9, 10:30 a.m., to provide for publiccomment on the proposed redrawingof a map to determine councilmaticdistricts within the Town ofHempstead.

The map is required to be redrawnevery 10 years in order to reflectchanging population as revealed in thelatest census.

The latest federal census showsthere is a growing minority populationin some parts of the Town ofHempstead, including Elmont, ValleyStream, Freeport and Baldwin.

There are approximately 760,000residents in the town. The proposedmap has a deviation of 5.93% from themost populous to the least populousdistrict.

At a Town Hall meeting heldFebruary 19, the Town Board voted tohire Skyline DemographicConsultants, Inc, to gather demo-

graphic information that will be usedto redraw the six councilmatic districtswithin the Town of Hempstead.

Skyline is the same firm that drewthe new legislative districts in NassauCounty, and drew the state Senate andAssembly districts. SkylineDemographic is in Schenectady, NewYork.

At that February meeting, nine resi-dents spoke on the resolution to hireSkyline and urged the Town Board toconduct a fair and transparent processto ensure that all town residents areequally represented in the new map.They also called for public hearingsboth during the day and in theevening.

Hempstead Town Supervisor KateMurray responded to residents’ con-cerns and stated that “the last time wecreated these maps there was no prob-lem with the maps; it was done toeveryone’s satisfaction.”

The Town Board released its map onMarch 19. However, after reviewingthe proposed map, the Town ofHempstead Democratic Committee

issued its own map and filed it withthe Town of Hempstead on Thursday,March 28.

“The map that the Town Board pro-posed was created in a partisan matter,by a private Republican political strat-egy firm and without any publicinput,” remarked Robert Young, firstdeputy leader of the Town ofHempstead Democratic Committee.

The Town Board specifically elimi-nates Baldwin and Freeport from theonly proposed ‘minority/majority’ dis-trict,” said Mr. Young.

A minority/majority district refers toa councilmatic district in which themajority of its residents are black,Hispanic and/or Asian.

Town spokesperson Susie TrenklePokalsky said “the Town Board is ded-icated to the empowerment of minori-ty communities and looks forward toadopting council district maps thatcontinue to protect the voting power ofminority communities.”

While the Town Board has proposedone minority/majority district, townDemocrats have proposed creating

two councilmatic districts where themajority of voters are black, Hispanicand/or Asian.

Residents of Bellmore, MerrickUnder the Town Board’s proposed

map, residents in Bellmore andMerrick will be in CouncilmaticDistrict Five, which begins at the mostsouthern border of Lido Beach, headsnorth through Oceanside, Baldwin andFreeport and also includes parts ofWantagh and Seaford.

Meanwhile, North Bellmore andNorth Merrick will be drawn intoCouncilmatic District Six, along withLevittown, East Meadow, NorthWantagh and North Seaford.

The Democratic planUnder the Democratic plan, North

Bellmore and North Merrick areplaced into Councilmatic District Fourwith north Wantagh and north Seafordand Levittown; East Meadow is placedin Councilmatic District Three.

Yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch

A new custom started in Naples, Italy, hasspread to other parts of Europe and hopefullywill be coming soon to a cafe near you. It wasborn of the economic crisis, which hurt both richand poor.

Put simply, a group of three businessmencomes into a cafe and orders four coffees, threefor now and one “for later.” A few hours later anold man who is obviously down on his luck comesin and asks if the cafe has any coffee “for later,”The waiter serves the coffee paid for by the groupof businessmen.

About dinnertime a couple comes in and ordersthree dinners, one “for later.” The next day atlunch a young lady comes in and asks if the cafehas any lunches “for later.” The waiter serves hera lunch gratis.

Back in the Depression in this country barsstarted the custom of offering free lunches. Butthe catch was you had to buy a drink. Thus wasborn the expression, “There is no such thing as afree lunch.”

Nowadays at some locations Panera offers onespecial soup at whatever price the customer iswilling to pay. Some pay more than the suggestedprice as a donation and some pay less, but all keeptheir dignity.

So our hope is that some cafe or other foodestablishments will see this column and think,“Hey, we could do that.” It might help if some ofthe “regulars” mention the idea to the owners oftheir favorite eating places and start ordering acoffee or lunch “for later.”

NB-NM basketball players are Senior Division champsIn dramatic fashion the Core

Financial Group (coached by HerbMaletz) came from behind to defeat RTSUnicom 54-48 for the North Bellmore-North Merrick Basketball League(NBNM) Senior Division championship.

Core Financial was led by outstandingshooting, passing and rebounding of J.R.Howell (24 points) and Eric Gossert (13points). Ryder Lampert (six points) wasone of the leaders in the tenacious press-ing defense.

Jonathon Krakoff, Evan Rothchild,Kyle Kravitz and Eric Mounts controlledthe backboards and limited the otherteam’s rebounding ability. SeanWosleger and Noah Yaney played aggre-sive defense, and created numerous

turnovers. Due to an injury, ChristianRagusa was unable to play, but was aninspiration to the team.

In the losing effort, RTS Unicorn(coached by Dan Fink) played a superbgame, led by the unbelievable scoringand rebounding (18 points and 12rebounds) of Joe Condello. Joe Bellairsand Scott Shapiro also contributed to theteam effort.

In the semifinal game, Core Financialnipped Gelfand, Rennert and Feldman(coached by Todd Kamelhar) in overtime73-71, J.R. Howell, Eric Gossert, RyderLampert and Sean Wosleger paced theoffense with 24, 18, 14 and seven points.All other members of the team mademajor contributions toward the victory.

Residents in Bellmore and Merrickwould remain in Councilmatic DistrictFive under the Democratic plan, butwould move Freeport and NorthBaldwin into Councilmatic DistrictTwo.

Minority/majority districtsWhile the Town Board has proposed

to keep Councilmatic District One aminority/majority district, it doesremove some minority voters inBaldwin and Freeport, and placesthem in the white majority

Councilmatic District Five, whichincludes the Bellmores and Merricks.

The Town of HempsteadDemocratic Committee’s mapincludes two minority/majority dis-tricts – District One in Hempstead vil-lage, which moves west to NorthValley Stream, and District Two inSouth Hempstead, Roosevelt and partsof North Baldwin and Freeport.

The League of Women Voters alsosupports the idea of twominority/majority districts. “Webelieve that due to changes in wherepeople were living as of the 2010 cen-

sus, the town can and should createanother minority/majority district,”said the League’s Barbara Epstein.

“The Town Board specifically elim-inates Baldwin and Freeport from theonly proposed minority/majority dis-trict,” said Mr. Young. “We believethat all minority communities in theTOH need fairly elected representa-tion. It is unconscionable to deny theserights that are protected under the1965 Voting Rights Act.

Merrick native developssoccer safety clothing

Merrick native Matt Weill, co-founderof Storelli Sports (http://storellisports.com/), an apparel brand designed exclu-sively to protect soccer players, with hisparents Patricia and Joseph Weill,attended the 31st Annual Long IslandJunior Soccer League Convention heldin Melville last month.

Mr. Weill, an attorney and entrepre-neur, is part of a team of young, hip andtalented professionals who have beencompetitive soccer players and whohave developed a new apparel line.

The new line incorporates propri-etary, patent-pending technologies andsleek, intelligent design to betterabsorb impact; minimize and preventabrasions, cuts and bruises; and takethe pain out of the game.

“Physically and psychologically,soccer is a tougher sport than manypeople realize, but not the playersand coaches,” said Mr. Weill, whowas a scholar athlete at MerrickAvenue Junior High School beforeattending Kellenberg Memorial High

School, where he was on a team thatwon the Long Island Catholic SchoolChampionship.

“They know all too well about thepainful abrasions, serious fractures andevery kind of injury in between thatplayers suffer,” Mr. Weill said.

“Injuries hinder performance andcan lead to serious health issues andlimit enjoyment. We created Storelli totackle these issues head on, makingsoccer safer and more enjoyable forplayers of all ages, professionals andamateurs alike,” said Mr. Weill, whoplayed in the 2000 and 2002 NCAASoccer Tournaments for The JohnsHopkins University.

Among Storelli's biggest fans isTony DiCicco, U.S. Olympic GoldMedal- and World Cup-winning headcoach, and a former All-Americangoalkeeper himself, who says that,“For protecting players of all ages andabilities, there is really nothing on themarket that compares with Storelli.”

Calhoun High School will host itssecond concert to raise money forChallenge Day.

Performing on Friday, April 5, at7 p.m. in the Calhoun High Schoolauditorium, will be “America’s GotTalent” finalist Nick Tangorra, LongIsland rock band Toxin fronted byCalhoun alumnus Jason Kloos, andLong Island pop group Love inMotion – as well as special guest andCalhoun alumnus Robbie Rosen.

The proceeds will go towardsChallenge Day, an event in whichprofessionals come to the school

and help students break down barri-ers, as well as to target and addressdiscrimination and bullying in allof its forms.

“The great thing is that none of theperformers will be paid for theirappearance,” said Calhoun HighSchool Principal David Seinfeld.“They all understand the worth ofChallenge Day, and the importanceof developing a bully-free learningenvironment.”

For information on tickets, call992-1301. They are $8 in advance,$10 at the door,

Wee Friends Nursery School and DayCamp has rented out the Jacob GuntherElementary School in Bellmore.

Wee Friends, at both 1865 BeechStreet in Wantagh and 2600 RegentPlace in Bellmore, provides a day campfor children from ages three monthsthrough kindergarten.

With another location in Merrick, WeeFriends opened at Gunther inSeptember. Extensive flood damagecaused by superstorm Sandy at itsMerrick location hastened Wee Friends’complete move to Gunther, and theclose of the Merrick location.

Only classrooms on the first floor arebeing used at the Gunther locationbecause all have a bathroom and youngerchildren are involved. Supervision is alsoeasier on the main floor.

Continued economic uncertainty hascreated success at the Gunther locationin Bellmore. Bellmore-Merrick teachers,both moms and dads – the clientele WeeFriends in Bellmore serves – are workingto tie up economic ends, causing them to

send their children to daycare. It gives the teachers the opportuni-

ty to drop off their kids before schooland pick them up once school ends.Wee Friends serves the same clientelein Wantagh.

Wee Friends has been around for 37years. Barbara Feman, teacher director,says, “Wee Friends focuses on the devel-opment of the whole child,” with cogni-tive teachers who help the kids learnconcept skills with hands-on activities.

Laurie Kass, a teacher at WeeFriends, is bringing in fish to her classof four-year-old students to dissect.They will be given surgical gloves andwill be looking at the eyes and bones ofthe fish. The unit they are studying is“Under the Sea,” and what the environ-ment is like down there.

That environment may tell somethingabout why fish eyes are the way theyare, as well as the bones.

Everything the children learn inter-twines with their unit. Ms. Feman callsthese projects “an outgrowth of alearning experience.”

Wee Friends offers a balance of arts

and sports. Music and dance teachersinteract with the kids for a half-hourevery day and experiment with differenttypes of music.

New pool comingActivities focus on areas of art,

library, movement, tennis, science, mathenrichment and music. But of note isthat the outside play area at Gunther isbeing redeveloped to include a pool,though there are other playgroundswhere the kids can still play for a half-hour or so. The pool will be completelyfinished in about four to five weeks,which the children are excited about.

Children’s enrollment is on theupswing at Wee Friends since it pickedGunther as a new location.

For information visit the Wee Friendswebsite at www.weefriendsnurs-eryschool.com.
