Miniature Forest Landscapes at LVGC

If you love Bonsai, but don’t have thetime to devote to creating your own hor-ticultural gem, there is hope. RetiredWest Babylon biology teacher HalMahoney entranced Locust ValleyGarden Club members recently, talkingabout his passion for the art of Bonzai ashe talked about Miniature TrayLandscapes of Trees, Soil, Water andRocks. He practices a form of Bonzaicalled “claft,” a word he coined that joinsthe words clump/raft to describe his styleof forest plantings. His method takes timeout of the equation and produces smallelegant landscapes in hours not decades.

There was something uniquely sweetin sharing his awe and delight as heshowed a tiny spoonful-size begonia with

a full-sized pink blossom next to a largepotted variety of thesame age. By removingthe larger leaves as thesmall plant grew, keep-ing it in a small pot andfeeding it weekly withMiracle Gro, he createdbeauty in a breathtakingminiature form.

“Flowers and fruitsmaintain their size asthe plant remains smallwhen confined to asmall pot,” heexplained.

All watched as hewired the branches of a

juniper bush with radiating branches andwrapped the limbs with copper wire untileach could be gently set vertically withthe group of limbs forming a forest land-scape. Then he offered another complet-ed juniper “forest,” and two smallbonsai plants as raffle gifts for theclub.

Pat S. Sullivan won the forestlandscape, member ElliePucciariello chose a miniaturehosta as her prize leaving thepink begonia for JudithMcQuiston.

The club’s August 10th meet-ing was a hands-on workshop byTheresa Soto entitled “Let’s Go tothe Beach.”

At the September 14th meetingat Bailey Arboretum manor houseat 10 AM, there will be a presenta-tion by the Mid Island Dahlia

Society titled “All About Dahlias.”Luncheon will be served. The fee for theevent is $10. New members are welcome.For information please call MembershipChair Gerry McKey at 671-8987.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomotoday announced New York Statewill take legal action against theUnited States EnvironmentalProtection Agency to prevent thedesignation of new permanentopen water disposal sites off thecoast of eastern Long Island. In aletter signed by more than 30 fed-eral, state and local elected offi-cials, the Governor providednotice to President Obama andEPA officials that the state willtake necessary steps to prevent theEPA from issuing a rule allowingdredged soil materials fromConnecticut to be dumped in theeastern region of the Long IslandSound. The EPA has failed to showthat there is need for an additionaldisposal site.

Governor Cuomo spoke atSunken Meadow, “We are here toclean up the Sound, not to dumpmore dredged material into theSound to create more issues. It isthe exact opposite of everythingthis state stands for and what wehave been doing together. Now wesay to the federal government, “Itwould be nice if you were helpfulby the way. It would be nice if youhelped us with funds, if you helpedus with resources, the protecteddrinking water and the coastalwater.” But I will be darned if youare going to be counterproductiveto us and we are going to be spend-ing money to clean it up. You’respending money to dump moredredged material. It’s not going tohappen.

We believe in collegiality. Wehave done a lot of good work withthis federal government. But theyhave turned a deaf ear to the stateof New York on this issue. Wehave been consistent, we havebeen talking about this for years.We have said we are against addi-

tional dumping of dredged materi-al and they insist on going aheaddespite us. We are here, we areunited, and our message is verysimple. It is counterproductive, itis absurd, it is an insult to the peo-ple of Long Island, and it is a wasteof taxpayer dollars. If the federalgovernment goes ahead withdumping additional dredged mate-rial we will take every action thatwe can, every resource that wecan. If that includes legal action tostop the federal government that isexactly what we will do becausethis cannot happen period, myfriends.

Now we say that this is thelongest signing table in history. Ithink this is actually going to godown in the record books as thelongest signing table. That actuallymakes the point. The point is, weare united on this issue on everylevel. You have Senate, you haveAssembly, you have federal repre-sentatives here, you have localcounty executives, you have locallegislators, you have Democrats,Republicans, liberals, conserva-tives, short people, tall people—you have every variety you canimagine. This does not happenoften. We are all here togetherbecause more than Democrats andRepublicans, more than Senate orAssembly, we are New Yorkersand we are people who love LongIsland. That is what unites us. Weare together and we speak with onevoice and we sign with one voicethat the federal government mustnot allow this to happen. Myfriends, if we stand together, Ipromise you it will not happen.Let’s sign the letter—thank you forbeing here.”

Legal ActionAgainst EPA

Oyster Bay residentsShawana Hughes, 40,and her husband LeeHughes, 42, werecharged with the abuseof their 3 month-old pit-bull puppy, MissHarper. After inflictingdevastating injuries ontheir pet, the guilty cou-ple took Miss Harper toa Westbury inhabitant,Reginald Smith, 35,who had yet to receivehis veterinary license.Smith illegally severedone of Miss Harper’shind legs, and both ofher ears. The amputation left bone and tissueexposed on the tormented pup’s leg. “Her scarsare most likely permanent.” observed Dr. KimBarlowe of My Pet’s Vet, after examining MissHarper, said, “Damage to the back toes of herother legs is likely permanent, and she couldhave surgery to repair her ears, but it may notcome to that.”

This was not Shawana Hughes’ first animalabuse case. In her first conviction of October2012, Hughes was sentenced to thirty days injail for failing to offer veterinary care to herprevious pit-bull, Snowball,for three straight months.Snowball was having a lotof difficulty breathing dueto an infected neck woundthat investigators suspect isfrom a chemical burn.Hughes, now a two-timeoffender, was sentenced onAugust 3rd to one year inprison, and five years pro-bation from owning anyanimals. Lee Hughes is cur-rently in custody; his sen-tencing will take place onAugust 10th. In March,both pleaded guilty to twofelony counts of unautho-rized practice of a profes-sion and one felony count

of aggravated animal cruelty. Luckily, Miss Harper was

given proper veterinary treat-ment after being rescued.After recuperating MissHarper was fitted with aprosthetic leg., and then MissHarper was later adopted bya family. Miss Harper’sabuse sparked an uproarfrom animal activists, andhas led to the creation ofNassau’s animal abusers reg-istry and cries for tougherpenalties for offenders.

Officer Nicholas Felitti was named ‘Top Cop’ in Nassau County. On August 1st

at the meeting of the Nassau Legislature. He received a citation from Police

Commissioner Thomas Krumpter for his assistance to a Locust Valley man a few

months ago. The man had written a letter to the Second Precinct commending Felitti

for his kindness and help.

Felitti answered a 911 call and knew the man from the neighborhood, and want-

ed him to have a nice Easter. Felitti, went to check on him and realized he had no

food. He went to the supermarket and bought him chicken, steak, cheerios, apples,

milk, bread, eggs, butter and potatoes. Felitti said the man was so appreciative. Felitti

wanted to give the man a helping hand. The Locust Valley man walked into the office

of The Leader and presented a letter of his thanks.

To the Editor:I had been out of food for a couple of days and I had no more minutes left on my

cell phone! I got an idea. I had called 911 Nassau County police and spoke to an

operator and told her I was out of food and had no one else to call.

She sent two officers to my home and they interviewed me and tried to help me.

After they left, an hour later there was a knock at my door - a police officer was

there with six bags of groceries for me, I said, “Thank you!”

Aren’t Nassau County Police wonderful and hard working? Thank You, Nassau

Police.

DEVELOP THE WATERFRONT

To the Editor:

Some folks described MayorSpinello's recent July 12th mailing con-cerning the “Resident Update - GlenCove's Waterfront RedevelopmentProject as nothing more than “scare tac-tics” and/or “an improper use of publicfunding for its preparation and mailing.”

Neither is the case. As the CEO andMayor of Glen Cove, it is his sworn andethical duty to keep us updated on hisknowledge, good or bad, of any profes-sional and independent analysis of ourfuture financial revenue, spending, bor-rowing, tax projections, jobs and wages.Like it or not, the manner in which he didthis was both effective and efficient.

The Glen Cove WaterfrontRedevelopment Project is not somethinghe is “doing to us.” It is instead somethinghe is trying to “do for us” so as to makecontinued living in Glen Cove affordable,more productive and enjoyable. It seemsas though most of the major industries,and large estates in Glen Cove that pro-vided a large portion of our tax revenuesare gone. This has probably hurt us tax-wise. The Mayor’s “Resident Update”reminds us at this point in time, what weare faced with. What do we want, futurehigher taxes if we do nothing, or themeans to stabilize property and schooltaxes by developing our waterfront? Pushhas come to shove – which will it be???

KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON

To The Editor:

I read your article pertaining to lastweek's Bayville Village meeting. As youstated the meeting was rather low-key.The Mayor did comment on the life-guards at West Harbor Beach and rightful-ly so for their quick action in respondingto an unconscious woman. The Mayorthen gave his usual update on things thatwere going on in the Village. TrusteeTaylor gave an update on the groupformed by him and local politicians tooppose the Governor's bridge across LongIsland Sound from Bayville to Rye, NewYork.

The Mayor also mentioned a panel heput together to look into abandoned andneglected homes in Bayville. We applaudthis action of the Mayor. The panel hasalready come up with a few homes thatneed attention. With this in mind I wonderif the Mayor and the Board of Trusteeshave given any thought to what wouldhappen to the proposed Bed-and-Breakfast building on the Steve's Pierproperty site should the Bed andBreakfast fail? This would be a largebuilding, 23+ rooms, a restaurant coffeeshop, pool and a gym, and some plans hadincluded storage rooms in the low-level.What would become of this building?One can only hope, given the latest courtdecisions that this would not lead to a casefor variances to allow multifamilydwellings in Bayville.

The Mayor gave an update on the

Steve’s Pier property noting that theVillage had received revised plans for 23+room Bed-and-Breakfast with aReservation desk, Restaurant with seatingfor 127 people, a Pool, Coffee Shop and aGym for the Village to review. TheVillage sent a set of the plans to H2M fortheir review. The plans also called for fix-ing up the parking lot across the street onthe south side of Bayville Avenue I findthis ironic that the property is listed onlinestating it has an approval for a Bed-and-Breakfast or Inn what ever you want tocall it. It seems the owner of the propertyknows something that we the residents ofBayville do not know. If the plans are stillbeing reviewed where is the approval?

It is extremely important that we keepa close eye on all the developments onthis piece of property and all others inBayville. I ask now that the residents ofBayville get involved by attendingVillage meetings. Let’s keep an eye onour beloved Village.

Sincerely yours,Frank BatesVP Save Bayville Now Inc.

EDITORIALPLAYING POLITICS OVER ZIKA

One of the favorite politicians'tricks is to block legislation, andthen blame the other side for fail-ing to pass it. That is what we arenow receiving from our politicians- from President Barack Obama ondown - and the stakes could not bemore dire.

Zika is a horrific disease thatcauses infant Microcephaly -shrunken brains and profoundretardation - in newborn babies,and Guillain-Barre disease - a neu-rological disease that can kill byshutting down the breathing mus-cles. It is spread by mosquitos - thesame mosquitos that brought WestNile disease to Long Island.

Since arriving in Brazil just twoyears ago - in 2014 - Zika hasalready killed 29 babies, andcaused over 3000 cases ofMicrocephaly. That is officially anepidemic. And the disease isspreading fast. New cases of Zikahave been reported all across SouthAmerica, Central America and theCaribbean. And just last month,Zika arrived in Florida, with 17cases reported in one area ofMiami.

US public health officials andmedical researchers have movedquickly to address the epidemic,spraying to kill mosquitos andresearching diagnostic tests andpossible vaccines to stop the dis-ease. Just this month, researchersbegan clinical trials on a possiblevaccine, that could be publiclyavailable as early as 2018. Butpublic funding for the clinical trialsruns out at the end of September.

That is ostensibly whyPresident Obama took to the air-waves to berate Congress, and SenChuck Schumer (D-NY) demand-ed that Congress re-convene topass a $1.9 billion funding bill.But they aren't telling you thewhole story. The RepublicanHouse of Representatives passed a$1.1 billion Zika funding bill inJune, but the Senate Democratskilled it in the Senate, demandingmore money. And PresidentObama can access unused fundingallocated for Ebola, to stretch thatdeadline.

So with only weeks left beforeZika research public fundingexpires, America's politicians arepointing fingers and playing thefake blame game. A manufacturedpolitical “crisis” over a real life anddeath medical epidemic. What adisgrace.

Research labs need to know thatfunding will continue pastSeptember, and public health offi-cials need to know that mosquitoeradication funding will continue.The President and Congress needto arrange Zika funding, and stopthe fake political finger-pointing.

•PATRICIA BREXELIt was a beautiful evening last

Thursday, August 4th for the viewing ofan free outdoor movie “Pride andPrejudice.” The movie was shown on thegrounds of the Raynham Hall Museumin Oyster Bay. A light breeze was blow-ing that kept the bugs at bay. Moviegoersbrought blankets, chairs and picnic bas-kets. Museum staff sold popcorn, candyand other refreshments as a fundraiser tohelp restore the Raynham Hall Museum.

The museum is currently beingrepainted. Lee Construction from ColdSpring Harbor is doing the work. JohnCollin the president of the museum stat-ed that they scraped down to bare woodto find the original color that theTownsend's painted their home with. Hesaid they scanned the paint chips and thecolor was an off white, a dove grey.Paint chips from theshutters were alsoscanned and theywere green. They arealso replacing someof the glass in thewindows. The glassis hand made inGermany and isbeing imported bySA Bendheim, aglass company inNew York city.

Many peoplearrived early to enjoya free tour of the

museum. This movie was the third in aseries of 4 movies being shown this sum-mer. All four movies are a part of theJane Austen film series. The next moviewill be “Emma” which will be shownThursday, September 1st 8:30 PM.

50 Years Ago...By LC Scully

The Department of EnvironmentalConservation (DEC) suspended a dredg-ing permit to Jakobson Shipyard inOyster Bay until such time as the sedi-ment in the harbor around the shipyardcould be tested. A preliminary study byU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service revealedheavy metal contamination in the watersaround the shipyard and Commander Oil.Those findings sparked a host of ques-tions from environmentalists and publicofficials regarding the issuance of thedredging permit.

The Oyster Bay town board was con-sidering a proposal to eliminate all 12-hour parking meters from commuterparking fields. Apparently, revenue fromthe meters barely covered the cost ofoperating and maintaining them and theinconvenience only added to a usuallyhectic commuting experience. Accordingto town records, the meters collected$577,825 the previous year but the main-tenance and salary expenses to keep themup was $452,368.

An Oyster Bay Cove resident had aheart attack behind the wheel of his car.He hit a tree on The Hollows West, OldBrookville and died.

With summer in full swing, it ishard to believe that fall is just aroundthe corner. The stores are starting tofill up with school supplies, dormroom accessories, and back to schoolclothing. At Grenville Baker, regis-tration for our fall programs willbegin September 6th.Our goal is toprovide an assortment of programsthat allows our young members toexpress their imagination, learn askill, master a sport, make friendsand have a great time while buildingtheir confidence and self-esteem.

As always, a major part of ourschedule includes athletic activities.Thanks to our professional staff andour wonderful volunteers, our fallprogram will include soccer, gym-nastics and tumble, cheerleading andtaekwondo. It is a well-known factthat participation in sports buildsstrong minds and bodies, giving chil-dren a sense of competence andbelonging. Kids are also less likelyto experiment with drugs, tobaccoand alcohol when regularly engagedin sports activities. Keeping kidsactive and occupied with athleticsdevelops discipline, teambuilding,and leadership skills while encourag-ing healthy habits and positive deci-sion-making.

A new C.D.C. study has shownthat the fitness level of young peoplehas steadily declined over the pastdecade while childhood obesity hasbeen on the rise. Hardworking par-

ents are struggling to find ways tolure their children away from thesedentary temptations of TV, com-puters, and video games. Exercise iscritical to everyone’s health no mat-ter how old we are. Young people inparticular should be encouraged tospend at least 60 minutes participat-ing in moderate activity every day,with vigorous aerobic activity atleast 3 days per week. Muscle andbone strengthening activities are alsoneeded.

To that end, in addition to ourmore traditional sports, our Club isoffering Triple Play, a nationally rec-ognized program that encourages ahealthy, active life style. Our FridayFitness Challenge, consisting ofpush-ups, sit-ups, running and otherfitness exercises, provides a funopportunity for friendly competition.Our goal is to develop enthusiasmfor being active while demonstratingenjoyable and easy ways to stay fit.

We are very fortunate to have adedicated group of coaches who arecommitted to sharing their knowl-edge, expertise and love ofsports.These role models can makeabig difference in a child’s life. Ourcoaches teach positive lessons actingasboth teachers and mentorsfor thechildren of our community. If youare interested in coaching, we arelooking for volunteers for this fall.

Register for membership, and/orbus service at your earliest conven-ience. To learn more about our pro-grams attend our Open House onThursday, September 14th from 6:00PM to 8:00 PM. Call 516.676.1460x16 with any questions.

•CHRISTINE LORINGWho doesn't love a ladybug? They are

enchanting and are making a comebackon Long Island. The nine­spotted lady­bug Coccinellids, are known as ladybugsin North America, and ladybirds in otherareas. Entomologists widely prefer thenames ladybird beetles or lady beetles asthese insects are not classified as truebugs.The 9­spotted is New York’s officialstate insect. Scientists are saying thecomeback is nothing short of a miracle.The nine­spotted ladybug, commonlyreferred to as C­9, (Coccinella novemno­tata), is a relatively large (5­7 mm long)ladybug native to North America. Upuntil 1970, C­9 was the most common

ladybug species inthe northeasternUnited States, witha wide rangeincluding most ofthe states andsouthern Canada.

This species has an important naturalrole in agricultural bio­control due to itswide diet of crop pests (including manyscale insects and aphids) as well as its tol­erance for living on a breadth of differenthost plants. C­9 is one among many dif­fernt types of Coccinellids. They arecommonly yellow, orange, or red withsmall black spots on their wing covers.Cornell University scientists went toQuail Hill Farm in Amagansett five yearsago after one 9­spotted beetle was seen.The insect has been bred in the laborato­ry at Cornell since, and scientists are ask­ing for the public to step in and help

spread ladybugs across Long Island andthe country. Cornell's Lost LadybugProject has been in existence for 16 years.

To order fifty larvae for your gardenfrom Cornell's website:www.lostlady­bug.org/ladybug­larvae­sales­1114.org/The cost is $50.

Environmental activist AdrienneEsposito of Citizens Campaign for theEnvironment has stated, “The bumblebeeis in a very serious decline of this corner­stone population. They are criticallyneeded as pollinators for fruits, vegeta­bles, crops, flowers, and the main culpritseems to be pesticides and climatechange. You get to a point to where thespecies is not able to recover, so we're ata crossroads.”

A horrible story concerning bumble­bees from the organization Earthjustice:“Two years ago, at a Target store outsidePortland, Oregon, customers arrived to astartling sight. The parking lot was cov­ered with a seething mat of bumblebees,some staggering around, most alreadydead, more raining down from above.The die­off lasted several days. It didn'ttake long to figure out that the day beforea pest­control company had sprayed apowerful insecticide on surroundingLinden trees to protect them from aphids.An estimated 50,000 bumblebees per­ished. The tragedy wiped out as many as300 bumblebee colonies of bees nolonger available to pollinate nearby treesand flowers.”

The deadly pesticide used is knownas neonicotinoids,“neonics” for short,developed a decade or so ago to replace

organophosphates and carbamates, whichare also highly toxic but dissipate farmore quickly. Scores of plants, fruits,vegetables, ornamentals,are sprayed withneonics. The chemical penetrates theleaves and is taken up by the plant’s vas­cular system, turning the plant poisonousto insects eating the leaves, pollen andnectar. Alternatively, the plant’s seeds are

s o a k e dor thesoil ist r e a t e dwith thec h e m i ­cal, withthe same

result. This is convenient for keepingbeetles off of roses. It is lethal for beesand other pollinators. And even if it does­n’t kill directly, as happened at Target,sub­lethal doses interfere with the bees’immune systems and make them vulner­able to pests. They can also damage thebees’ability to navigate back to the hive.Several of the neonics, are made byBayer. Bayer is a German company; andsince 2013, neonics may not be used onbee­attractive crops in Germany or anyother country in the European Union.This prohibition on use in the EU is amanifestation of what’s known as thePrecautionary Principle, “Look beforeyou leap.” In the United States we do itbackwards: Chemicals are deemed inno­cent until proven guilty; many times withdisastrous results.

Consider the honeybee. She has beendomesticated by humans for some thir­teen millennia. She is the only creaturebesides us who manufactures food forhumans. She stings only in self­defense.All honeybees are social and cooperativeinsects. She pollinates a substantial frac­tion of the plants humans consume. Onecalculation has it that every third bite of

food you eat was pollinated by a bee.Theuse of ‘she’ here is deliberate. All workerbees are female, as is the queen. The onlymales, are the drones, who mate with afertile queen, and are a fraction of thetotal in a hive that has sixty to a hundredthousand bees.

Domesticated bees are around twothirds of the total bee population in theworld, the rest are wild. Butterflies polli­nate too, and other insects, and humming­birds, even bats in the tropics. In theUnited States, Europe, and elsewheredomesticated bees are a major player inagriculture. Bee colinies can bounce backfrom adversity. At least it used to be thatway, until the winter, spring of 2006­2007, when Colony Collapse Disordertook hold.; the die­off of domesticatedbees excelerated. On May 9, 2014, theHarvard School of Public Health releaseda chilling new study suggesting that evensmall amounts of neonics can significant­ly harm honeybee colonies and causemass wintertime die­offs. The Harvardscientists found that hives of beesexposed to two forms of neonics weremuch more vulnerable to ColonyCollapse Disorder than unexposed hives.“We demonstrated again in this study thatneonicotinoids are highly likely to beresponsible for triggering CCD in honeybee hives that were healthy prior to thearrival of winter,” said lead study authorChensheng (Alex) Lu of Harvard in astatement.

Help protect bees from pesticides.Explore organic ways to grow healthyplants, such as using compost for healthysoil and controlling pests with home­made remedies, and biocontrols likeladybugs. Saving bumblebees and hon­eybees is an action that in essence pro­tects the future food of the human race.

Mixed conditions tested the patienceof the three Oakcliff teams who competedin the 40th Around Long Island Racehosted by Seacliff Yacht Club. The threeteams worked patiently and tirelesslythrough the light breeze to win five tro­phies awarded.

Ethan Johnson and Sean O'Halloran,who double­handed Oakcliff's Ker 11.3,received three awards for First Place inDivision VI, First Place DoublehandedDivision, and First Place in JuniorDivision. Johnson said after racing, “Itwas an awesome race, a lot quicker thenwe were expecting. We decided to keepour options open and stick as close as pos­sible to the shore. That decision paid off,especially during the night when wepassed most of the fleet.” The team cred­ited their unusual sail choice of havingboth their windseeker and A2 sails up atthe same time. The 'gybe­set­that­never­was' allowed them to capture as muchwind as possible and sail past the rest ofthe fleet.

Also sailing the event under theOakcliff banner was Simon Says, anAndrews 68 owned by Lorenzo Vascotto.Out of the 19 crew members, seven wereunder the age of 25, qualifying them forthe youth category as well. It was the firstOakcliff boat to come across the finishline at 6:44 AM, one day and 15 hoursafter crossing the starting line. Simon

Says was also the biggest boat in the fleet,measuring in 10 feet longer then any otherboat registered. Coach and bowmanBrendan Larrabee was really proud of thecrew for working hard together and keep­ing their patience in the difficult condi­tions. Many of the crew had never sailedon a boat as big as Simon Says, and manyhad never sailed together before either.The crew was proud of their results and islooking forward to the next offshore chal­lenge.

Oakcliff’s Class 40 also raced withfour people, finishing third place in PHRFSpinnaker Division IX. The team arrivingat the finish line a little over two hoursafter Simon Says and an hour and a halfafter the 11.3. Crew member KarineJansen said, “It was a good race, with agreat crew, but unfortunately we gotrained on for eight hours. Everyone andeverything got wet. Even though condi­tions were fairly miserable, we still had alot of fun.” The three teams combined towin the Second Place Team Trophy, withthe highly decorated team High Noonbeating them for first place.

Even though the conditions weren'tideal for racing, the teams fought to makethe best of it. The tough conditions couldnot dampen the spirits and camaraderieof the competitors, making the event aproud accomplishment for all threeOakcliff teams.
