GC Animal Shelter Update
On March 1st, The Animal Lovers
League (ALL) will vacate the Glen
Cove animal shelter, after being in
operation for over 20 years, making
way for Cove Animal Rescue. Joan
Phillips, the league’s president, is
looking for a new location, outside of
Glen Cove.
A public outcry did not make a
difference in the final decision. Three
former volunteers at the Animal
Lovers League formed the new entity, and plan to expand the present
2,600 sq. ft. building by an additional
2,000 sq. ft. To ensure a smooth transition, personnel from Cove Animal
Rescue, will be at the facility 2 days a
week during the six week transition.
The relationship between the ALL
and the Glen Cove Spinello administration had deteriorated, when a new
operator for the shelter was decided
on. The Cove Animal Rescue will
receive $7,750, a month, from the
city. A $300,000 interest free loan
was given to the new group for the
expansion.

The Avianca Crash 25 Years Later
Twenty five years
ago, on January 25,
1990, an Avianca jetliner crashed on Long
Island's North Shore.
The Boeing 707, fourengine, passenger jet
ran out of fuel after it
missed landing at JFK
Airport. The plane
plummeted into a hill
just east of Oyster Bay,
on Tennis Court Road,
in Cove Neck.
First responders
rescued 85 survivors
by using News 12
camera lights to search
for victims. Neighbors
in the surrounding area
came out in the cold
night to help any way
they could. A total of
73 passengers died.
The anniversary of the
crash was remembered
on Sunday, the 25th, at
St. Dominic Church in
Oyster Bay.
The February 8,
1990 cover of The
Leader shows a

Pyramid Schemes
From the desk of Assemblyman Charles Lavine: Pyramid schemes
are nothing new. For more than two centuries individuals or groups that
are interested in separating people from their hard-earned cash have
found new and creative ways to lure unsuspecting victims.
Some people, believing it may be a legitimate opportunity to get in
on the ground level of a business prospect, have dumped thousands of
dollars into this type of scheme only to see no return on their investment. When the light goes on, and they realize they have been swindled,
there is little anyone can do to help.
Pyramid schemes follow a predictable pattern: a person known as
the recruiter creates a “business” or “product” to solicit investors. The
investors make an initial payment and then solicit other investors. When
the new investors sign on by investing in the prospect, the money is
stolen by these criminals. The new investors then solicit new partners
and the cycle continues until there is no one left to join the pyramid and
no additional money invested.
Recently, an old friend visited my office to explain that he and his
girlfriend had become victims of a pyramid scheme. They had invested
in this scam and lost all their money. His name is unimportant to the
story. What is relevant is that he and his girlfriend are of Hispanic
descent. They were approached at a neighborhood bodega about investing in a business venture that would provide them with a great return on
their investment. People must be aware that the criminals who operate
this type of pyramid scheme are targeting our immigrant community.
There is nothing particularly unique about unsuspecting immigrants
being taken advantage of. And, truth be told, many who are victimized
by these schemes are affluent and very well educated. The Madoff
investors are just one example. But for many people who are new to our
shores, the language barrier works to their disadvantage because many
do not have access to news reports and community information that
warns of these types of scams. And, sadly, many who are victimized
feel they cannot report these crimes to our authorities.
The criminals who organize these schemes are very good at hiding
themselves. They have no place of business, no phone number, and usually leave no trail. They slip out in the dark of night, leaving the victims
with an empty bank account and broken dreams. Each of us must be
cautious when so-called “friends” or those who speak the languages of
the nations from which we have come, try to persuade us to make
investments that will too often turn out to be swindles.

Snowbound
Last Saturday’s morning storm was nothing
compared to what came to Long Island with a
major winter storm that dropped up to a foot of
snow on our region Monday and Tuesday.
Local food stores were packed with shoppers
stocking up on staples such as bread and eggs.
The National Weather Service (NWS) had
issued a blizzard watch – in effect from 1:00
PM Monday until midnight Wednesday – for
the entire island. The weather service’s Upton
office said the ingredients would come together for a “possible historic nor’easter.” .
Snow accumulations of 18-24 inches were
projected, with the highest amounts predicted
for the East End. The NWS said, snow would
be accompanied by sustained winds of 25-35
mph, with gusts up to 55 mph, leading to
“extremely dangerous travel” with whiteout
conditions likely. Visibility on the roadways
was a quarter mile or less throughout the storm.
Secondary and tertiary roads became
impassable due to the snow. There was no
power outages in our vicinity.
Light snow developed Monday morning
and then gradually picked up in intensity by
late afternoon. The heaviest snow and strongest
winds occurred overnight Monday into
Tuesday, the NWS said. Snow fell at a clip of
1-3 inches an hour at times.
Temperatures during the storm were generally in the 20s with wind chills in the single
digits to mid-teens.
The snow tapered off Tuesday afternoon,
with mostly sunny skies on Wednesday. We
were snowbound, and at a standstill, but thankfully the storm was not as bad as predicted.
In a related story, the Town of Oyster Bay
acknowledged the impact that massive snowfall has, once it’s blanketed the area. According
to Town Supervisor John Venditto, who reassured residents that the Town is prepared for
whatever the winter brings.
“The Town is always quick to clear roadways and handle emergency situations whenever it snows, but residents are also advised to
take precautions and plan for action in the
event of a snowstorm,” Supervisor Venditto
stated. “To help with snowstorm preparation,
the Town provides an informative brochure
explaining snow removal procedures, very
important safety tips, and steps residents can
follow to help make snow removal easier for
everyone.”
The Supervisor noted that any resident or
organization interested in obtaining the free
brochure can pick up one at Town Hall North
(Oyster Bay), and South, (Massapequa), the
Department of Public Works (Syosset), at
major park facilities, or call or write to the
Town of Oyster Bay Public Information Office,
Town Hall East, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster
Bay, N.Y. 11771 (624-6380). A copy can also
be downloaded from the Town’s website,
www.oysterbaytown.com.
Supervisor Venditto stressed that it is
important for residents to keep in mind that the
severity of snowstorms can vary from mild to
harsh, adding difficulty towards how to proceed when dealing with each storm.
“Unfortunately the varying conditions of these
snowstorms make it difficult to provide a precise answer as to how or when particular roads
will be treated,” the Supervisor explained.
“There are several microclimates where weather conditions can vary significantly, so the
response of the crews must be ready to adapt to
those conditions.”
Tensions Escalate
on the Bay
• LORIANN CODY
Last week, the Town of Oyster Bay
Constable was called in to monitor the situation
as Frank M. Flower Oyster Company (FMF),
and the independent baymen (some are members of NOBBA – the North Oyster Bay
Baymen’s Association) clashed again.
There are numbered flagged stakes marking
the boundary of FMF seeded beds, and those
beds that are open to everyone, but both FMF
and the independent clammers venture close to
the line while harvesting the shellfish. Last
Tuesday there were about a dozen clammers on
the water along with the bay constable (who had
been called in by FMF), when one of FMF
dredging boats came dangerously close to two
of the baymen’s boats and the bay constable.
According to Town of Oyster Bay (TOB)
spokesperson Brian Devine, the Captain of the
FMF boat was ticketed for “reckless and potentially unsafe operation” of a marine vessel. The
ticket is for as much as $250.
NOBBA member Bill Fetzer, one of the baymen involved who used his cell phone to video
the event noted, “Flower’s boat actually hit one
of the stakes.” The video has since been
uploaded to YouTube.
With both parties (FMF and NOBBA)
involved in a lawsuit over the use of TOB leased
shellfish beds, tensions are high on the water.
Scam Alert
An alert has been issued to all Glen Cove
residents with regard to solicitors going doorto-door asking for donations on behalf of
APPCO
GROUP
US/Childfund
International. This organization does not have
the required permits and authorizations from
the Glen Cove Police Department to solicit in
our neighborhoods. Further, their “certificate” of not-for-profit status has expired
and/or does not state the required information
that would properly identify this group as a
not-for-profit.
The police department received numerous
complaints from residents regarding solicitors constantly ringing door bells at all hours
of the night and, when there’s no answer, the
loud banging of the doors of the home.
If, at any time, you experience a situation
as described, Do Not Open the Door.
Immediately call the City of Glen Cove
Police Department at (516) 676-1000.

$33 Million
LIHEAP Funds
U.S. Senators Charles E.
Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand
announced that New York State
will receive an additional
$33,337,670 in heating assistance
funds. The funds were allocated
through the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services’ (HHS)
Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Schumer and Gillibrand said this
additional $33 million will bring
New York State’s total federal
assistance for Fiscal Year 2015 to
$377,245,102. Both Schumer and
Gillibrand called on HHS to
release this critical LIHEAP funding to New York State last October.
“Hundreds of thousands of New
Yorkers each year, many of whom
are seniors on a fixed income, rely
on LIHEAP funding to help pay
for the home heating costs that
have become a larger and larger
share of their budget. This additional funding will help people
cover costs during this very cold
winter and will mean fewer people
will have to choose between paying for heat and the rent, heat and
prescription drugs, or heat and putting food on the table,” said
Senator Schumer. “Having these
funds available now, in January,
when winter is still rearing its ugly
head across the northeast, is critical. This boost in home energy
assistance could not come at a better time.”
“This funding is a lifeline for so
many New Yorkers struggling to
heat their homes and stay warm
this winter,” said Senator
Gillibrand, who called on HHS to
release critical LIHEAP funding to
New York State last October. “It is
crucial for families throughout the
state who have braved through
recent storms and frigid temperatures to have the resources they
need to stay warm throughout the
winter. I am pleased to announce
this critical funding because no
New York family should ever be
left in the cold.”
LIHEAP is the main federal
program that helps low-income
households and seniors with their
energy bills, providing vital assistance during both the cold winter
and hot summer months. Even
though the number of households
eligible for the program continues
to exceed those receiving assistance, this funding has been a lifeline during the economic downturn
and rising energy costs, helping to
ensure that people do not have to
choose between paying their energy bills and paying for food or
medicine.
Schumer and Gillibrand have
long fought to secure more funding
for the LIHEAP program. Annual
funding for LIHEAP has steadily
declined at the federal level since a
peak in 2011. Despite rising heating costs and lingering effects of
the economic downturn, the federal LIHEAP appropriation declined
from $4.7 billion in 2011 to only
$3.25 billion in 2013 after sequestration. In 2014, Schumer and
Gillibrand wrote letters to appropriators where they pushed for an
increase in the budget for the federal LIHEAP. Following this push,
LIHEAP was funded at $3.4 billion in FY2014, a $169 million
increase. Hundreds of thousands of
New Yorkers, particularly many
senior citizens living on a fixed
income, benefit from the program
each and every year.

SHADOW OF CRISIS
This past week President
Obama delivered his State of the
Union address which sought to
highlight his achievements in both
domestic and foreign affairs.
He stated that “We turned the
page and the shadow of crisis has
passed.” Asserting that the state of
the union is strong, he pointed with
pride that “In Iraq and Syria,
American leadership, including
our military power is stopping
ISIL’s advance.”
Now we do not know what
book the president has used as his
source in making such sweeping
statements concerning his domestic and foreign policies, however,
in reality, there is very little to support such glowing conclusions. On
the international stage it didn’t take
too long before his touted and perceived success in Yemen unraveled, with the resignation of
Yemen’s President Abed Rabbo
Mansour Hadi, which was brought
about by the pro-Iranian rebels. At
this point in time it appears that
another anti-American regime is in
the making in Yemen. Add this
country to the ISIS sphere of influence and occupation in the Middle
East.
With capital after capital falling
into the hands of ISIS and their
companion terrorist groups, the crisis facing us in the Middle East has
hardly passed. On the contrary it
has grown exponentially. The
question remains as to how our
country will respond to the crisis
that faces us in the Middle East? In
the first place, the President must
recognize that we are dealing with
terrorists who place little or no
value on human life. Their barbarous conduct in beheading captives and indiscriminant slaughter
of native populations should give
Obama a clue concerning the
nature of the beast he faces. These
are not people that rational negotiation will end their journey to
domination of the Middle East.
Our constant assertion that we will
not employ “boots on the ground”
is an invitation for further aggressive action. Senator John McCain
recently stated that we must
increase our military presence if
we are to stop ISIS in its tracks. He
is reading from history’s book and
not the nursery rhymes that Obama
uses as his guide.
Since we lack any intelligence
gathering body in Yemen, we are
,unfortunately, relegated to spectator status as others shape the course
of events to come.

COVE ANIMAL RESCUE
To the Editor,
The letter from Ms. Weber is greatly
appreciated. It just shows the concern that
she and many others have about animals.
That is exactly why Cove animal Rescue
was formed. Three of our Board live in
Glen Cove, the three that don’t were volunteers at the Shelter and our seventh
member is a veterinarian. Through our
volunteering at the Shelter we saw the difficult conditions under which the animals
were housed. The dogs remained in their
cages from 4 PM until morning when
someone let them out. Therefore they
relieved themselves in the cages, cages
where they were housed day after day.

increased by the donated services already
received from our architect and engineers.
However, the animal Lovers League,
upon leaving, is taking with it the money
donated for the care of the animals and the
expensive equipment that was bought
with those donations. Our Agreement
with the City is such that the new expansion is being dedicated to Glen Cove upon
completion and any items purchased for
the care of the animals will remain with
the shelter. With this assurance, we would
hope that those concerned about animals
will again give freely.

Most cats live in cages or condos with
insufficient room as prescribed by the
Shelter Veterinarian Association. This
will all change with Cove Animal rescue.
The facility will be cage free, the animals
can go outdoors on their own volition and
the dogs will be able to relieve themselves
outdoors until about 9 PM and then again
at about 7:30 AM.
While we have never run a Shelter, as
Ms. Weber points out, it is for that reason,
after considerably searching, we have hire
Licensed Veterinarian Technician Scott
Konezny as our Executive Director. He is
coming to us from the North Shore
Animal League. His earlier years were
spent at Bideawee.

January 18: A Busy Day at Glen Cove Hospital
• LC COLGATE
The infamous ice storm of January 18
caused aches, pains and fractures galore
amongst the North Shore community
and the Glen Cove Hospital did a yeoman’s job of taking care of the injured.
According to Susan Kwiatek, executive director of the hospital, the ER usually sees between 48-50 patients on a
“normal” Sunday. But on that Sunday,
just ten days ago, the number soared to
122 visits due to the calamitous weather
that turned routine events such as
retrieving the daily newspaper into death
defying acts.
Ms. Kwiatek received a call at home
that morning notifying her of the surge
in patients and she immediately made
her way to the hospital where she spent
the day in the emergency room. The
supervisor on duty also put out a request
for additional doctors, nurses and staff to
come in and help with the increased
caseload.
Dr. Leo Huertas, executive director
of the Emergency Room was one of the
first to brave the unsafe road conditions
and get to work. He was called at home
around 9am and he faced icy and slippery roads along his commute from
Locust Valley to Glen Cove. He commented on how lucky the hospital is
because so much of the professional
staff lives locally and could actually get
to the hospital, even with sheets of black
ice swaddling the main thoroughfares.
Sea Cliff Sewer
Village of Sea Cliff’s groundbreaking ceremony
Assemblyman Charles Lavine, center,
attended the groundbreaking for a sewer
project in the Sea Cliff business district.
The design and construction for the project will be covered by a $250,000 grant he
secured for the Village of Sea Cliff in
2009.
On hand were: Eric Swenson,
Executive Director of the Hempstead
Harbor Committee, Erin McDonnell,
Village of Sea Cliff, Mayor Bruce
Kennedy, Nassau County Legislator Delia
DeRiggi-Whitton, Sea Cliff Trustee
Edward Lieberman, Esq., Sea Cliff
Trustee Elena Villafane, and Donald H.
Crosley, Nassau County Community
Development Program Coordinator
Critical care nurses were re-deployed
from upstairs and nursing assistants
were brought down from other units in
the hospital. Ms. Kwiatek said there
were “many broken bones” and the
place was “really packed with ice fall
victims.” While thankfully none of the
injuries were considered life threatening,
there were some complicated fractures
presented on scene. One person had to
be taken to the hospital in Manhasset for
additional attention.
Dr. Huertas reported that the bulk of
the injuries were to the shoulders,
ankles, wrists, and ribs and there were
innumerable head wounds. Some
patients were sent immediately to the
operating table and some were stitched
up and sent home. During the busiest
morning hours, Dr. Huertas said that
nearly 40 ambulances made their way to
the hospital and additional EMT crews
were brought in from Glen Cove. He
expressed his gratitude to the patients
who were tolerant of longer than usual
wait times and said that no one complained as they waited for medical attention. He also thanked the medical team
at the hospital who “came in during their
off hours and pitched in.”
We should all feel lucky to have a
professional and dedicated medical staff
at the Glen Cove Hospital to tend to our
aches and pains when Mother Nature
gets angry and knocks us on our tushies.
New Year Law Changes
Assemblyman Charles Lavine (DGlen Cove) said, “The new laws that are
effective January 1, 2015, will benefit
local communities by helping to grow the
economy and assisting residents with
remaining healthy and safe. An increase
in the minimum wage from $8 to $8.75
will help provide hardworking families
that are struggling to make ends meet
with a deserved bump in the hourly rate.
While nationwide nearly 53 percent of all
minimum wage earners are full-time
workers, 55 percent of the minimum
wage earners are women, reflecting a significant inequity in pay.”Assemblyman
Lavine continues to highlight the need to
further increase the minimum wage as
well as to index it to inflation.
Beginning this year, Medicaid mandate relief goes into effect, thereby freezing county costs for the Medicaid program at the current rate. This significant
change will save localities $370 million
this year and $552 million next year,
helping to lower the local tax burden.
“Along with that, I am making New
York more business friendly and helping
to create jobs. I supported laws that provide tax credits for businesses that hire
veterans and for those that employ developmentally disabled individuals. These
tax initiatives will help improve the local
economy and ensure more people are
employed.” Assemblyman Lavine said
he will continue to fight to pass legislation that contributes to a strong, sustainable economy so communities and families can thrive.
In an effort to continue to protect the
environment, the final piece of New
York’s e-recycling law went into effect
on January 1. With the harmful impact of
the improper disposal of e-waste, it is
now easier to recycle laptops, videogame
consoles and flat-screen televisions
through local recycling programs. Visit
www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/66872.html
for more information on electronics recycling.
Lastly, a new law aims to protect children from fraud and identify theft by
allowing parents to place a credit record
freeze on children under the age of 16 so
their identities cannot be compromised.

Reflections of a Bygone Era
Panfield, The Estate of Albert G. Milbank
• ORIN Z. FINKLE
Decades ago, when first exploring the
myriad of winding country roadways
required to find my way along the Gold
Coast, I was determined to locate
Panfield, the former estate of prominent
attorney and noted philanthropist Albert
G. Milbank. A rather amusing conversation took place. I was driving eastward
from the Hamptons’ and stopped for
gasoline somewhere near Riverhead.
When I asked the station attendant how to
get to Lloyd Harbor, I received this
strange reply, “Oh, do you mean that rich
neighborhood where “Lloyd” Bridges
lives”? “Thanks anyway”, I replied. Of
course, I knew that actor “Lloyd” Bridges
really resided in California. So, with the
aid of a trusty road map, I eventually
found Panfield. Why I remember this
long ago conversation, who knows?
Even to this day, it seems that many
Long Islanders’ have never heard of this
scenic tranquil area just north of
Huntington. Its beauty is comprised of
over nine square miles having a population of more than 3,600 people. At its
inception, Albert G. Milbank was elected
the first Mayor of Lloyd Harbor after
incorporation during 1926. He remained
at that position for the next twenty years.
However, one hundred years ago in
1915, when the Panfield manor house
was designed by talented architect John
Mead Howells, the entire surrounding
acreage was identified as Paulding Farm.
The farmed land was at that period divided into three sections consisting of about
one hundred acres each and the central
portion was named Panfield. Today the
superb former Milbank mansion remains
as private property sustained with loving
care and situated on harbor waterfront
land reduced over the years to roughly
over five acres.
During 1925, admired floral design
author Miriam Hargreaves visited the
Milbank’s at Panfield in order to compile
detailed landscape notes for a national
magazine article that concerned the many
delightful gardens and natural flora layering their estate. She wandered watchfully
for hours over the vast colorful acreage
and at later dates, returned to the property during various bloom periods. Miriam
accumulated a large variety of notations
including the following excerpt which I
acquired from her transcripts that dealt
with the actual residence itself.
“Surely Panfield is an evolution of
planting reaching out to cover the land
with elegant beauty. I reminded myself
that this house was less than ten years
old. It looks so venerable and so protected by vines and acres of gardens. No bees
welcomed my entrance under the now
green wisteria. I was admitted into a spacious hall. For a moment I stood very still
staring at its dark height, surrounded by
purple floor tiles, stately oak paneled
walls and the seemingly watchful hanging heads of elk and moose.”
“The stairs leading broadly up and
away from me branched at either side of
a center landing, overlooking the harbor
and continued to the many galleries
above. I lingered for a moment before
entering a passage leading to a vast room.
Plainfield front elevation and reflecting pool, Circa 1925
Plainfield living room mantel and side chairs, Circa 1925
I was quite tempted to wander into the
adjacent oak paneled and book lined
library displaying first editions carefully
protected by leaded glass and nothing on
top of the carved stone mantel but pewter.
There were deep cushioned chairs and a
writing desk of huge proportions where
Mr. Milbank could privately watch over
the harbor as he worked.”
“However, I stepped down into the
quiet living room done in all shades of
browns and gold. The scene was of a
heavy carved ceiling with an intricate
stone apostle mantel framing a dark
painting of early Chinese, with a wise
man sitting on the edge of a mountain
crag, thinking. There were comfortable
chairs, books on many tables, a piano,
deep window recesses and a huge burning log in the massive fireplace. This all
spoke of coziness and daily casual family
use, a perfect lived-in atmosphere.”
It’s fascinating to actually “view” the
twenty five room, unique light brown
stucco faced mansion with a reddishbrown color tile roof, as seen through the
eyes of a person who had carefully
explored the property ninety years ago
when Albert and Marjorie Milbank
resided in the comfort of their country
home. Even the two charming high
walled gardens positioned directly across
from the front facade of the house, add a
dash of color, attraction and stature to the
picturesque entry. Somehow, reading
detailed period estate articles revealed
throughout my collection, provides a
soothing sensation of truly reverting into
that verdant bygone era.
J. J. Levinson was the original designing landscape architect of Panfield. The
well- known landscaping firm of Lewis
Plainfield entrance foyer, Circa 1925
and Valentine essentially provided the
thousands of lush dispersed plantings
during the time of the estates construction. A few years later, Levinson had
built his own attractive, designed by
architect Harrie Lindeberg, brick colonial
home in the town of Sea Cliff, a comfortable abode which I have photographed
countless times over many years.
Albert Goodsell Milbank passed away
in 1949 at age seventy three, but the charitable foundation bearing his name
remains actively providing funds to a
multitude of very worthy causes.
During the 1950s the property was
subdivided and Panfield was eventually
purchased by Bernard Castro, founder of
the prestigious Castro Convertible sofas.
Years later the house was acquired by his
daughter Bernadette. She and her husband continue to reside at beautiful
Panfield. A large family entertainment
room with an indoor pool was added to
the home decades ago and by careful
design preparation, its exterior architecture blends exactly with the entire structure. The mansion remains well maintained, treasured and in superb livable
condition.
Although I’m actually writing this
piece during January, it’s amusing to daydream of relaxing by the mansion with a
cool drink on a warm bright summer day.
I picture sitting at a round white table
shielded by a large umbrella on the rear
lawn of the property. I gaze directly out at
Panfield’s long pier extending far into
Lloyd Harbor which presents a serene,
yet impressive view. It affords the aura of
being a welcome guest of Albert and
Marjorie Milbank during the 1920s,
while calmly observing the assembly of
white sails noiselessly gliding along the
azure backdrop. In silence, with a gentle
breeze wafting in from the Sound, it’s
quite easy to simply close my eyes and
progressively doze off. I honestly believe
that this tranquil venue……zzzz
Leader readers, for the next three
issues, Reflections will focus on various
estate properties but with a unique twist.
I will present rare period photos showing
“The Lady of the Manor” along with
family scenes depicting socialites enjoying carefree summers spent nearby their
magnificent country estates.
Mansion Makeover
The Glen Cove Mansion and
Conference Center has a new owner.
According to county records the property
was closed on December 4th for $7.5 million dollars. Wei Wang, a New Jersey hotel
developer, bought the 54.5- acre property
with the intention of making the hotel a
beautiful destination spot. Wang also paid
$2.5 million for personal property.
In 2013 the Glen Cove City Council
rezoned the property with a 4-3 vote, to
allow 40 homes to be built on a 22.7-acre
subdivision on the mansion grounds.
The previous owner , Oaktree Capital
Management LP, from Los-Angeles,
bought the property for $26.5 million in
2006. Wang plans to build on the subdivision.

Paradise Weekend at
Planting Fields Arboretum
• VICTORIA CROSBY
In the gloomy, dark days of winter
there is nothing like a visit to a tropical
island to lift the spirits. A lot of people did
just that over the past weekend by visiting the greenhouses at Planting Fields
Arboretum, where the warm, humid air
and bright, colorful flowers, accompanied by the music of the islands on steel
drums by Steeldrumania, made you feel
like you were in paradise. In the main
greenhouse there were palm trees, ferns,
orchids, and many other types of tropical
plants, and in the smaller greenhouses,
off the side of the main, were many varieties of summer flowers.
Executive Director Henry Joyce welcomed visitors and spoke briefly on the
history of Winter Gardens. The two-day
event was free, with no parking fee, and
also offered lots of activities for children,
including sand art, mask making and a
performance by a ventriloquist. People
arrived early as last year the parking lot
filled and guests were turned away. There
will be many varieties of beautiful camellias blooming in their own special greenhouse in mid-February, another sure way
to chase away the winter blues.
There are always events at Planting
Fields and Coe Hall, even during the winter months, so be sure to call 516 9228678 or check the website for upcoming
events, such as the Music at the Mansion

TERMS OF SALE
Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to
all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State
Soldiers’ and Sailors' Civil Relief Acts.

the lien is purchased.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending
bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a tax lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser's rights
with respect to the lien(s) and the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or the Federal and State
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser's right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act(FIRREA),12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et.seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC) receivership.

Heritage Matching Grant for the
Ida May Project
Back in December, The Christeen
Oyster Sloop Preservation Corporation
received a Parks HAS matching grant of
$173,451 for the construction of the historic
Oyster Dredge Ida May replica.
Board member Jamie Deming, who
headed up the grant application effort,
talked about the process. “Putting together
the application was an arduous process, but
we felt we had a good case for the heritage
grant as that is our basic mission and it fits
the larger context of the Western Waterfront
Land Use Plan.” As Deming explained, the
Western Waterfront Land Use Plan was
developed with much public input under
the leadership of State Senator Carl
Marcellino and signed into law in 1998.
This plan prevented large-scale commercial
and real estate development on the shores
of Oyster Bay. It sought to provide public
access to the waters of Oyster Bay, emphasizing education, recreation, environmental
and historical stewardship, tourism, and
revitalization of downtown Oyster Bay.
According to the Western Waterfront
Plan, one of the shipyard sheds, “Building
J,” was designated to become a maritime
museum and boat-building shop. The
Christeen Oyster Sloop Preservation Corp
is the non-profit that occupies this building.
The Christeen Corp is currently working to
build the Ida May replica with community
participation.
Clint Smith, President of the Christeen
Corp., explained. “It will allow us to move
forward full speed and brings us a long way
toward funding the entire project. This is a
matching grant, so a portion can be
matched by volunteer labor and donated
materials. Since most of the work is being
done by volunteers, this part won’t be difficult to achieve.” Smith went on about the
greater challenge, “we need to raise
$100,000 in cash to satisfy the grant
requirements. We’re extremely optimistic
that this award will provide the necessary
confidence to future donors that the project
will be completed.”
Donations can be made online at
www.idamayproject.org or by check made
out to the Christeen Corp and mailed to PO
Box 386 Oyster Bay, NY 11771. For more
information, call (516) 305-9204. To see
the Ida May under construction,
visit Building J on Tuesdays and Thursdays
between 9 and 4pm. Volunteers are
welcome!

Reading at the Club
Reading with a young child is the
single most important predictor of
how well he or she will do in school.
Reading improves one’s vocabulary,
writing skills and ability to listen.
Reading introduces children to the
language of books, a means of
expression that differs from the language heard on television and in conversation. Reading nurtures a child’s
imagination, exercising their ability
to visualize images expressed in
words. Reading helps children to
develop a sense of empathy and
greater knowledge of the world
around them. Well into adulthood,
reading provides a wonderful source
of entertainment and relaxation.
Here at Grenville Baker Boys &
Girls Club we recognize the importance of this lifelong skill. We seek to
complement the language arts education our members receive in school
and at home. In the Learning Center
each day after school, our children
receive reading and writing help with
their homework assignments.
Partnering with the Locust Valley
Library, we also provide a Reading
Club for our members of all ages. The
younger members travel to the library
once a week to be tutored by the
librarians and volunteers there to
strengthen their reading, writing and
vocabulary skills. Our older members
participate in a Book Club, reading a
book together and then discussing the
issues and ideas raised in the story.
The ability to express their point
of view is developed in our
Newspaper Club for teens, working
to build our members’ reading and
writing skills and to boost academic
achievement. Opportunities for
improvisation and creativity only add
to the fun. Our Write Now Program
encourages our readers to write their
own stories, encouraging original
thinking while exercising their reading, computer and grammar skills.
The ability of younger members to
read and write is emphasized further
in our Time for Kids, where members
learn about a wide range of issues and
current events.
None of this is a substitute for
reading aloud to your child at home.
Children who are read to develop
stronger language skills at an early
age helping them to acquire powers
of concentration, expression and
excellence at home and at school.
Reading to a child raises her selfesteem. So please take the time to sit
and read with your child; sharing a
moment of closeness together can
ensure a lifelong love of reading. And
know that while your child is here at
the Club we will do our part to nurture and to grow our community of
strong, young readers.

Pet Adoption
Senior residents living in the Town of Oyster
Bay who are looking for a ‘furever’ friend can look
no further than the Town of Oyster Bay Animal
Shelter. According to Councilman Anthony D.
Macagnone, adoption fees are waived for senior
citizens through the town’s ‘Seniors for Seniors’
program. “Oftentimes people look to adopting a
puppy or kitten when considering a new pet, however, there are many advantages to taking home a
‘senior’ furry friend,” Councilman Macagnone
said. “Generally speaking, senior canines and
felines come already trained and ready for another
chance at a good life.”
The councilman noted that under the town’s
‘Seniors for Seniors’ program, the adoption fee and
any cost associated with spaying or neutering will
be waived for a senior 62 and older who adopts a
senior dog or cat. Seniors who adopt a dog would
still have to pay the normal license fee.
The councilman added that the Animal Shelter,
which is located at 150 Miller Place, Syosset, is
open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. (677-5784). He noted that to see photos of
some of the animals available for adoption, visit the
town’s website, www.oysterbaytown.com.

By LC Colgate
On Thursday, January 25, an Avianca

Cove Neck.
One of the first to arrive at the scene
was John Hossfeld of Jacobsen
Shipyard. The shipyard facilities were
opened to federal investigators who were
on the scene, trying to determine what
happened. One of the most immediate
problems at the site was lack of communication due to many downed wires.
NYNEX and New York Telephone
moved swiftly to restore service.
Cellular phones were sent in but were
ineffective because of the hilly terrain. A
100-foot tower was erected to enable rescuers to maintain contact with base stations.
Anne Galasso, a resident of Cedar
Avenue in Locust Valley said she was
having a hard time living with what she
saw the night of the fatal crash. She was
in bed reading and had heard the plane
circling the area. It was making such a
racket that the windows of her house
started to shake. Going outside to see
what the cacophony was all about, she
was astounded to see a plane flying so
low that she could see heads inside the
aircraft windows. The lights in the plane
were on and the engine was running but
she knew in her gut that the plane was
going to crash.
Two Oyster Bay residents were
arrested and charged with criminal possession of cocaine.
Karen Pillari reported that her car
was stolen while parked at the Country
Plaza Deli in Locust Valley.
