OYSTER BESTOver 200,000 at festival enjoy contests, music, rides, games,

arts & crafts, pirates, historic ships and, of course, oystersBy David J. [email protected]

The Oyster Festival, host-ed by the Oyster Bay Rotary, has the reputation of scor-ing big or washing out. For the 28th annual Oyster Fes-tival, the score was massive with over 200,000 people attending over the course of October 15th & 16th.

The key component was the picture-perfect weather making the waterside festi-val the place to be and the thing to do on Long Island for the weekend.

“I don’t think it gets any better than this,” said Su-pervisor John Venditto.

“The Oyster Festival is a golden opportunity to let Town of Oyster Bay resi-dents and everyone in the tri-state area see this beau-tiful hamlet. It’s an event that really showcases our town. As Town Supervisor, I’m gushing,” he added.

Oyster Shucking & Eating Contests

A highlight of the festival was the Oyster Shucking & Eating Contests, sponsored by Frank M. Flower & Sons and Newton Shows, on the West End Avenue stage.

Shuckers were given four minutes to shuck as many oysters as they could. Ac-cording to the rules, oysters had to be completely sev-ered from the shell, whole and not mutilated.

Last year, long-time champion David Mahnken of Melville was defeated by Ralph Alarcon of Lynbrook, who shucked 37 oysters, four more than Mahnken.

This year, Mahnken came back to try to reclaim his title. However, their compe-tition is a friendly one.

“I’m trying for my 10th win today,” said Mahnken, who was happy to see Alar-con. “We’ll see what hap-pens.”

When asked if he’d been training to defend his title, Alarcon said, “The economy is too bad to buy oysters to train. But it’s like riding a bike you just don’t forget. I’m happy I won once and the rest is just fun. I’m glad Dave is here. It wouldn’t be the same without him.”

And not only was St. Francis named one of the best hospitals in the countr y for cardiolog y and heart surger y by U.S.News & World Report for the fifth consecutive year, it was once again named the best heart hospital on Long Island. In fact, St. Francis has the most physicians recommended for cardiac care on Long Island. And that proven cardiac excellence should continue well into the future because St. Francis is a premier center for c linical trials in cardiac imaging and treatments. So, if your heart isn’t yet at St. Francis, maybe it should be. After all, you only have one heart.

Once again, St. Francis was named one of the best hospitals for cardiology and

heart surgery by U.S.News & World Report.

Is your heart in the right place?

It may have taken 35 years but Raynham Hall mu-seum in Oyster Bay is about to get the annex it desper-ately needs. The Oyster Bay Town Board approved the purchase of its neighbor-ing property, 30 West Main Street, for $540,000 as an expansion for the museum

at Tuesday’s meeting. The annex will be used for a visi-tor’s center as well as much needed offi ce space and col-lections storage. Meanwhile the vacated space at the mu-seum will be used restore the children’s and servants quarters, which comprises 1/3 of the museum.

This plan has been in the works since the mid-70s but it was never fully executed.

“Once the house next door became available we felt it was something we wanted to revisit. Each time the house was available in the past we moved too slowly on it, unfortunately, which is what has held us up every time,” said Museum Direc-tor Harriet Gerard Clark.

Raynham Hall museum in Oyster Bay will expand to include an annex as the Town of Oyster Bay will purchase its neighboring property at 30 West Main Street.


A community celebration was held in Oyster Bay’s Theodore Roosevelt Me-morial Park on Thursday, October 13th to commemo-rate the installation of artist Jerelyn Hanrahan’s “Gradu-ated Pearls,” a 40-foot in-teractive public art project that took two years to put together.

When we last left Hanra-han of Atelier Studio/Fine Arts, she was putting the project to bed in a new loca-tion in TR Park next to the beach with the help of John Lancia of JAL Construction and Peter Lizza & crew of Lizza Materials. The pearls were set in a fi gure eight as planned. However, as all great artists do, she changed her mind at the last minute.

“The crew left after fi ve hours and I looked at it and said to myself, ‘It’s not right,’ ” said Hanrahan. “I

called up John and said, ‘I need you to come back.’ We didn’t have a crane any more so we laid out blan-kets, untied each pearl and rolled’em.”

Hanrahan not only want-ed them moved closer to the beach but she changed the shape to look as if a lady placed her pearls on a dress-er complete with a hook & collapse on each end.

“The fi gure eight looked too tight to me. I wanted to make it more interactive so you can walk into the sculp-ture,” said Hanrahan, who grew up in Oyster Bay and currently lives in Mill Neck.

Hanrahan dedicated the piece to her parents, Glo-ria & Jeremiah Hanrahan. While her father has passed on, her mom was at the opening wearing a smile. “When she fi rst told me about it I thought the idea was wonderful but I never thought it would be such an undertaking. She worked

very hard on it. Jerelyn has a lot of energy,” she said. “My husband would have loved this.”

Lois Smith of Smith Jew-elers was amazed at how realistic Hanrahan’s “Pearls” came out. “They are strung with knots in between show-ing they are high quality pearls with nice luster. They look like Akoya salt water pearls, which are the best,” she said. “Jerelyn did a fi ne job. This is very appropriate for our town.”

Oyster Bay Main Street Association President John Bonifacio recalls putting to-gether the seed money for the project with his board. “It’s been a long time in the making, but it’s great to see it come to completion. It was a challenge but the end product is great for the community,” he said. “We need to gather support to keep it here and maybe put together a petition to see if

OPINIONEDITORIAL

Goodnight, Mr. Watson

A community is made up of many compo nents. However in

a historic community like Oyster Bay, there are spe-cial people who make up its soul. Oyster Bay resident Johnnie Watson, formerly of Virginia, was a big part of the hamlet’s soul. On Oc-tober 17th, Mr. Watson died at the age of 82. He was a devoted life-long Deacon of Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Oyster Bay and he loved his fellow parishioners like family.

To know Mr. Watson was to adore him because wher-ever he was he instantly lit up the room with his 100-watt smile, undeniable charm and upbeat positive attitude. He was a man who loved life and had a passion for living. He appreciated each day as a gift from God and when you saw him you thought, “Here’s a guy who got it right.”

Each year at Mt. Olive’s Martin Luther King Day ceremony Deacon Watson would sing and dance up and down the isles like a young James Brown. At age 82, this man had moves twenty year-olds couldn’t duplicate. When he per-formed for his Lord and savior, Mr. Watson beamed light and defi ed age.

I distinctly remember how proud he was in Janu-ary 2009 when Barack

Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. Mr. Watson had tears of joy streaming down his face because life had come full circle for him. Here’s a man who suffered through racial segregation and saw his hero, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., assassinated to watching an African-Amer-ican man reach the highest pinnacle of our society as the leader of the free world.

Mr. Watson was the father of Rosetta, Johnnie, James and Betty Jean, brother of Bertie Colona, grandfather

of Tamika, James II, Me-gan, Serena and Synthia and great-grandfather of Ki-Jana, Nikia, Mikayla, Jo-siah, Rodney Jr., Jeremiah and Terrence Jr. He was also survived by many niec-es, nephews, relatives and friends.

Visiting will be held at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, located at 163 South Street in Oyster Bay, on today, Fri-day, October 21st from 7-9 PM, under the direction of Oyster Bay Funeral Home.

A Funeral Service will follow at Mt. Olive Baptist

Church on Saturday, Octo-ber 22nd at 11 AM with in-terment at Burton Cemetery in Melfa, VA on Wednesday, October 26th.

Mr. Watson can never be replaced and our hearts go out to the Mt. Olive family for losing their patriarch fi g-ure.

Although Mr. Watson is no longer here physically, his unbridled spirit will nev-er leave Mt. Olive or Oyster Bay. His faith is stronger than death.

by Rodney Dow who beat Andy Schuller in a shuck-off in 1985. Both men shucked 57 oysters in 4 minutes then Dow shucked another 22 oysters in 2 minutes for the win.

As the shuckers battled their way through, it be-came clear that Mahnken and Alarcon were not the only frontrunners.

James Schultz of Bay-ville was stackin’em up along with Louis Tuccillo of Woodbury.

Dave Relyea of Frank M. Flower & Sons served as the judge for both contests while Q104.3 DJ Jim Kerr was the announcer.

Relyea counted each tray as the anticipation grew. It was announced that Schultz shucked 36 while Alarcon knocked out 38, one more than his winning total from last year.

When it came time to count Mahnken’s tray, Rely-ea shouted out, “40!” Mahn-ken had defeated Alarcon and reached a new personal best, but there were still others to count.

Tuccillo came close with 39 knocking Alarcon out of second place. But it was Steve Trcka of Milford, CT who surprised the crowd by shucking 41 oysters, just one more than Mahnken, making him the new shuck-ing champion.

“I’ve been doing oyster contests for 30 years. I vol-unteer for the Milford Oys-ter Fest and Norwalk Oyster Fest. It’s just something I know how to do. That’s all it comes down to,” said Trc-ka, who makes a living as a painter. “Some people can ride a bike and draw pic-tures. I can’t do either. But I love oysters!”

The Oyster Eating Con-test began with shocking news. Shawn Leonard of Cold Spring Harbor, the reigning champ for the past three years, wasn’t al-lowed to compete because he signed up too late and all slots were closed.

“I really wanted to com-pete because I trained a lit-tle bit,” said Leonard. “But I’ll be back next year and I’ll be on time.”

The Oyster Festival eat-ing record is held by Da-vid Leonard, Shawn’s fi rst cousin, who ate 480 oysters in 2 minutes and 5 seconds in 1998.

The world record is held by Tommy “Muskrat” Greene of Annapolis, MD chugging 288 oysters in 1 minute and 24 seconds in 1985.

Each of the contestants began with a tray of 36 oys-ters, followed by a series of cups with 12 oysters each.

The time limit was 2 min-utes 40 seconds.

“This contest is not for the faint of heart. You need a stomach of iron,” warned Kerr. “This is truly an ama-teur event. Professional eat-ers are barred from the com-petition. People are here for the love of the sport. It will blow you away.”

The crown was up for grabs, but it was quickly snatched by Paulette Gayle of Queens who instantly became the star of the show. Winning with ease, Gayle ate 156 oysters to the amazement of the crowd.

“I love oysters but I never knew I could eat this many. I used to eat them back home in Jamaica,” said Gayle. “They went down easy like I was drinking. But next time I want hot sauce!”

Gayle works as a nurse aide for the Bianculli family of Mill Neck. “Paulette told us she could win but I didn’t be-lieve her. Meanwhile she won by a landslide,” said Ralph Bianculli. “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. No more seafood at the house, I’ll tell you that much!”

Second place went to Carlos Jaramillo of Elmont who gobbled down 104. He claimed, “I drank’em down and chewed what I could. I was just looking for some

free oysters!”First place winners for

both contests received a plaque and $50 and 2nd place winners each got a plaque and $25.

Tall ship and historic fi re boat

At the Waterfront Pier the American Privateer Lynx was a huge draw boarding over 4,000 visitors during the weekend. Senior Cap-tain John Beebe-Center en-joyed showing the vintage vessel.

“It’s popular with the young folks who might have seen ‘Pirates of the Car-ribean,’ which is entirely appropriate since Johnny Depp and the gang trained on this boat in 2001,” he said. “Kids love it — can-nons, steering wheels, big sails, period clothing with puffy shirts — what’s not to like?”

The Lynx spent the sum-mer in the Great Lakes and will be heading to Newburg, NY then on to New London, CT after the Oyster Festi-

val. This winter she will be in Mystic Seaport getting a new paint job.

“She’s really nimble if you can say that about 100 ton boat. She’s very respon-sive and maneuverable,” said the Captain.

Another big attraction was the John J. Harvey, which served the FDNY from 1931-94 then pumped water for 80 hours, along-side FDNY fi reboats Fire-fi ghter and John D. McKean, on September 11, 2001.

Chief Engineer Tim Ivory said today the boat is used to promote waterfront aware-ness and historic ships.

But kids loved seeing the boat spraying water high in the air. “It becomes a wet fest. It’s like a big lawn sprinkler,” Ivory said.

No small festival

Event coordinator Len Rothberg thought the 28th annual was the second big-gest Oyster Festival next to the 25th anniversary year in 2008 drawing an estimated

205,000 people.“Mixing this delicious

food with good weather is the key. Another factor is that it rained all week and everybody had to get out of the house,” said Rothberg. “Next year we hope to add more picnic tables to the Main Stage area.”

Event Co-Chair Paul Rosen was pleased that the new Food Court layout worked. “There was a lot of anxiety about this year be-cause of the new confi gura-tion. But I think the layout worked well. I loved the way the food court fl owed. I like the rectangle shape because everybody got ex-posure,” he said.

“I have to fi nd a new place for the bandstand. It’s too close to the arts & crafts vendors. We want it in the right place but we don’t want to interfere with commerce. We will fi gure it out,” he added.

Food sales were through the roof. The Rotary’s oyster booth sold 40,000 oysters. The Life Enrichment Cen-ter at Oyster Bay sold out of clam chowder and the

Mill River Rod & Gun Club’sfried oyster booth sold out by Sunday at 4 PM.

‘Best of the Food Court’ Contest

Mill River Rod & Gun Club’s fried oysters took fi rst place in the “Best of the Food Court,” contest spon-sored by Whole Foods.

Second place went toOyster Bay High School for their pickles and the Oyster Bay Lions Club took third place with their oyster stew.

Mill River Rod & Gun Club sold 144 gallons of oys-ters from their booth, which is one of the last original food booths from the very fi rst Oyster Festival.

“We’ve been here from the start of the Oyster Fest. We have a special recipe for our oysters that is quite pop-ular. In fact, some people come to this festival just to eat our oysters particularly,”said Past President KennyWarren. “They wait on line for a long time but they want what they want.”

Next year the club is thinking about putting some more grills on to get the product out quicker.

Before the festival closed, the winner of the Rotary Raffl e was pulled by 10 year-old Trinidy Grodner of Huntington. The winnerwas Isabel Dye of Oyster Bay and she has opted to take the $15,000 in cash.

State Senator Carl Mar-cellino, who has been in-volved with the Oyster Fes-tival since the beginning, views the event as OysterBay’s hallmark.

“This festival is known worldwide. People email us about the Oyster Fest fromall over,” said the Senator.“Oyster Bay is the OysterFestival to people.”

“American Idol” con-testant Jerome Bell sang the national anthem at the opening ceremony. Origi-nally from Texas, Bell, 28,has lived in Manhattanfor the past six years and reached the top 40 during Season 10.

“Doing ‘Idol’ was an in-credible experience. I’ve made life-long friends onthat show. I still talk to ev-eryone,” said Bell, who wore a shirt of his hero — Michael Jackson. “The plat-form is so huge and you can’t believe just how manypeople watch the show. I was getting phone calls and emails non-stop.”

Conor Shelley of Rock-ville Centre, 23, took the overall top prize as he fi n-ished the race in 15 minutes and 26 seconds. This was his fi rst time competing in the race as he just recently graduated from Marist Col-lege.

“Today is a personal best for me. Any day you get a personal best is a good day,” said Shelley. “I knew I had it from the gun. The course suited my strengths. I’m a big downhill runner. The fi rst mile and a half is uphill but it’s gradual. I thought if I could hold these guys by the time the course turns around then I got it.”

Coming in second place only four seconds behind Shelley was Juan Nuonte of Farmingdale, 35, who closed in on the lead runner during the last mile fi nish-ing in 15 minutes and 30 seconds. “Originally I had a good .1 miles on him but then over the last mile he closed in on me,” said Shel-ley. “I have to attribute him with my fast time. If I had that large lead, I wouldn’t have kicked so hard.”

Nuonte, speaking through an interpreter, said, “The course was good. I’m very fast and I wanted to catch the lead runner so I saved my energy for the last mile and then sprinted the rest of the way.”

Taking third place was local runner Shane Giannet-ti of Oyster Bay, 19, who is currently a sophomore at William Jewell College and was home on fall break, fi n-ished in 15 minutes and 41 seconds. He was running for new team Citius, which was started by another local runner 23 year-old Austin Huminski of Oyster Bay.

Huminski, who was recovering from tenden-

tious in his Achilles, took 12th place overall coming in 17:16. “I’m from Oys-ter Bay so I know this loop well,” said Huminski who captured his personal best. “The second I hit Sandy Hill I go as fast as all hell until I hit the fi nish line.”

Top honors among the women went to Saman-tha Snukis, 25, of Bayville (18:40), with former Long Islander Crystal Perno, 30, of Clifton Park (19:07) tak-ing second place and Noni DiGermenci, 37, of Port Washington (19:32) edging out Shari Klarfeld, 30, of Plainview (19:40) for third place honors in the Wom-en’s Division.

Other local fi nishers scoring towards the front in this year’s Town Super-visor’s Run included Em-ily Baker of Oyster Bay (1st Athena 140-159 pounds), Bernadette Winnubst of Locust Valley (2nd Athena 140-159 pounds), Kiera

Scognamiglio of Locust Val-ley (3rd woman 14 and un-der age group), Joe Lacorte of Oyster Bay (2nd 15-19 age group), Vince Giam-banco of East Norwich (1st 20-24 age group), Alessan-dra Echeverria of Oyster Bay (2nd woman 25-29 age group), Jean Bohan of Oys-ter Bay (1st woman 40-44 age group), Kevin Gianetti of Oyster Bay (2nd 45-49 age group), Joanne Gallo of Oyster Bay (2nd woman 60-64 age group) and Nina Jennings of Mill Neck (1st woman, 75-79 age group).

Greater Long Island Run-ning Club Secretary Linda Ottaviano, who competed in the race and scored fi rst among the women in the 55-59 age group, praised the Town for making the event possible. “Supervi-sor John Venditto and the Town Board have been in-credible supporters of local recreational sports, and we are thrilled that Council-

man Chris Coschignano has brought his law fi rm Sahn Ward Coschignano & Baker on board as a presenting sponsor,” she said. “A spe-cial thank you goes to Bob

Cook and the Runner’s Edgefor helping us to bring Long Island’s fastest runners to Oyster Bay every year!”

Accreditation is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance.

The team specializes in the evaluation and treatment of all types of breast conditions including benign and malignant breast tumors, breast pain, suspicious and abnormal mammograms, previous breast cancer diagnosis or positive biopsy, and BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations.

“From the time patients make their fi rst appointment through any necessary treatments and follow-up care, Winthrop’s Breast Health Center is committed to delivering the best possible breast care every step of the way,” said Dr. Monteleone.

The Breast Health Center team works in close collaboration to ensure patients have full access to all of the vital programs and services needed to maintain good breast health. Among the comprehensive breast care services offered at Winthrop are:

The Friends of Bailey Arbore-tum held a cocktail fundraiser on Friday, October 14th to celebrate the Centennial of Frank and Lou-ise Bailey’s acquiring the 43-acre property in Lattingtown in 1911 as a country estate, named “Munny-sunk,” which is now simply known as the Bailey House.

The guests enjoyed drinks and hors d’oeuvres while listening the sounds of Bob Merrill and the Gul-ly Low Jazz Band. They bid on a variety of silent auction items and purchased raffl e tickets. Prizes in-cluded a 30-person cocktail party at the Bailey House, a fl owering tree and 100 daffodils. All pro-ceeds from the Centennial Cel-ebration went to maintenance and improvements for the arboretum’s buildings and grounds.

The event, which was catered by Mark of Excellence, was co-chaired by Margaret Stacey of Locust Valley, Janet Deans of Lo-cust Valley and Lynda Anderson of Bayville.

The Bailey House, which sits in the middle of the estate, was structurally condemned until Nas-sau County stepped in brought it back to life. Since that time new energy has been pumped into the

arboretum, which is currently thriving.

“We have a children’s habitat area and we’ve done a lot of the gardens over. We’ve done nature walks through the woods and es-tablished a nature program for teenagers and summer program for children,” said Stacey, who serves on the Board with Deans. “We are uncovering a lot of what was here before and bringing it back to what it was. This is a big family place and a favorite loca-tion for grandparents and dog walkers.”

found out the owner was getting ready to sell they acted quickly. The Friends of Raynham Hall, who over-sees the museum for the Town of Oyster Bay, for-warded the down payment and talks began with the Town to acquire the prop-erty.

“The Town has always agreed, since the mid-70s that it was a logical exten-sion for Raynham Hall,” said Clark. “They were ex-tremely receptive to the idea.”

The annex building, once known as the Mavros house, currently holds an apart-ment and two offi ces. Rayn-ham Hall hopes to make the transition over the course of the next year.

“Our vision is to have a visitor’s center on the ground fl oor and our offi ces would move to the second fl oor and the collections storage would move to the third fl oor,” said Clark. “We want to open it up to a more welcoming format making it a safer spot for kids who come in for fi eld trips.”

In addition to the new space, the most exciting portion of the project will be reclaiming the rooms within the museum, which have been used for offi ces and storage for so long. “We want to reinterpret them as they originally were as ser-vants quarters and children’s rooms. Now people are fi nd-

ing the lives of the servants very interesting as well as the lives of the children,” said Clark. “Many people from this area are descen-dants of the servants who lived here. I know it will be interesting for them to redis-cover their own history and that is what we are aiming to be able to provide.”

Clark predicts the chang-es to Raynham Hall will take 3-5 years depending on funding and said they will be able to make the changes without having to close the museum. The Friends of

Raynham Hall will set up a specifi c fund drive for the project as well as apply for grants.

In terms of creating a synergy between the two buildings, the museum plans to restyle the annex to be more complementary with Raynham Hall. “We will take down the fence between the two properties and probably add a door on the side so the annex will open into the Victorian gar-den,” stated Clark.

The transformation will be a collaborative process

between the Town and the Friends of Raynham Hall. “The Town has already of-fered to help with labor such as painting, demolition and carpentry. And, of course, we are certainly willing to do our share,” said Clark. “It’s a wonderful thing that Supervisor John Venditto and his team have been able to do for the museum and the Town of Oyster Bay in general.”

Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce President Michele Browner found the piece more beau-tiful than she expected. “Of course we believed in Jere-lyn all along that she would deliver the most incred-ible artistic creation. But it’s more luminescent than you would ever expect,” she said. “I’m so glad they chose

this location.”Sagamore Hill Superin-

tendent Tom Ross found the piece speaks well to what’s happening in Oyster Bay’s growing arts community. “Jerelyn is an amazing art-ist and I think the public is really going to enjoy and appreciate this sculpture,” he said. “The pearls look like they’ve been washedup from the bay and landedhere. It’s a wonderful addi-tion to the park.”

SPORTS

Falcons fl yLocust Valley High School

is now the only undefeated team in Conference IV and the sole possessor of fi rst place. Two weeks ago they killed Roosevelt and this we-ek they soundly ended West Hempstead’s bid to remain undefeated with a 25-6 win.

When you say the Falcons fl ew, well instead of wings, they used the accurate arm of Joe Jacobi. The Falcons’ offense is extremely well bal-anced with 90 yards gained on Jacobi’s arm and 149 yards gained on the ground. This balance creates prob-lems for LV’s opponents. The air game is Jacobi throwing, Alex Rawa, Tom Nastasi, Tom McNamara, John Keschl and Chris Appell receiving. Rawa and McNamara each had touchdown catches. On the ground fullback Nick West added a TD with a burst of 22-yards and tailback Appell had a TD. West ended the day with 76 hard fought yards and Appell had 60 yards.

The offensive line was of-fensive. Center Ken Syrett may be having an all county year at center. He is basical-ly undersized but his upper body strength would make Hercules envious. Time after time he blasted through the Ram defense and his oppo-nents were 50 lbs. larger. His line mate guard Kevin Rieger was equally devastating as were Marlon Maldonado and Bobby Bleistein. When you add other great linesmen in Louis Falciano and McNama-ra at tight end, you have the “little engine that hurts.”

The game was not as lop-sided as the score would indi-cate. West Hempstead moved the ball but their drives were cut short by the Falcon de-fense when it counted. The D accounted for 3 intercep-tions, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 tipped pass, and 1 sack. Any time the Rams got something going the Conference leading Falcon defense took the ball away. They stripped the ball and hit ferociously. Bobby Heney at nose guard was so quick off the ball that the center trying to block him had to turn around. Heney also is just plain mean when it comes to hitting. He fi nish-es off tackles and his quick-ness and athletic ability can’t be matched by his opponents.

Linebackers Matt Vezza and John Piscitello, only sophomores, are cannibals, and eat up opponent running backs. The LV defense has only given up 56 points in 6 games for a 9.3 point average of points against. The team scores about 23 points per game. Also most of the points against have been 4th quar-ter points when the game has long been decided. Teams that pass play right into LV’s best athletes: Rawa at safety, Nastasi and Appell on the outside just like catching and do catch opponent’s passes. Don’t forget Tyler Fallon. He won’t let you forget him as he had an interception and a fumble recovery. You can-not run around LV either as the ends, McNamara and this week Cody West just don’t give up the outside. McNa-mara could be All County at

two positions, tight end and defensive end.

The game scoring was ex-citing. A drive started with West Hempstead moving the ball to the Falcon 38-yard line and Piscitello helps cause and recovers the fumble. LV made them pay for the er-ror. Nick West up the middle, Appell turning like a “whirl-ing Dervish” and then Jacobi pump fakes and hit Rawa for a 30-yard strike. The second score saw Nick West burst up the middle for a nifty 22-yard saunter. The third score in the fi rst half was a 29-yard pass to a wide open McNa-mara. He was wide open be-cause he ran his pass pattern perfectly and Jacobi knows where and how to hit his mark.

The half ended 19-0 in fa-vor of Locust Valley. The third quarter again the saw a Ram mistake. McNamara battered a Ram pass and Tyler Fallon caught it. The Green crew was on their way again. This time the drive ended with Chris Appell around end on a perfect option play for the score. Hempstead would score in the fourth quarter but when placed in catch-up mode, the Ram offense couldn’t overcome LV’s sec-ondary.

Tomorrow the Falcons will be in Cold Spring Harbor playing a tough Seahawks team whose record is 4-2. The game will start at 3 PM.

Baymen lose to ClarkeThe Oyster Bay Baymen

hoped to follow up on their previous week’s victory against the North Shore Vi-kings. The Clarke Rams of East Meadow School District were too big and too power-ful and defeated the small Baymen squad 41-21. The Head Coach Joe Knoll was proud of his team’s effort but the small squad and several injuries to key players have made the season especially long for the Baymen. Yet the game started off on a great note. The Baymen received the kick-off and marched 80 yards for the touchdown. The score by Robert Morgan came on a sweep around end. In spite of the windy conditions,

quarterback Steven O’Neill did complete several passes.

A power pass to Phil Mi-hlstin and a screen pass to Josh Ramos. Later scores came on runs by the speedy and elusive Ki’Jana Walker-Michel and another Morgan touchdown. Knoll praised the defensive play of linebacker, Matt Romeo, who played his heart out. Unfortunately re-building years for small high school squads can be long and diffi cult.

Next up the Baymen will travel down to Malverne to play the Mules who are hav-ing a rebuilding year of their own. The Mules share a simi-lar 2-4 record as the Baymen.

The Ma-sons provide a relaxed atmosphere amongst the hectic Oyster Fes-tival crowds. Families come to enjoy authen-tic German beer and bratwurst while listen-ing to traditional Ger-man music. (Above, from left) Chris Ioan-nides of Brooklyn, Steven & Maria Sere-metis of Westbury and Stavroula Boundouris of Brooklyn celebrate the day with a toast. (Below, from left) Barry Fielding, Peresh Dave and Warren Obes served up Okto-berfest, Hefe-Weizen and Hefbrau Dunkel beer.
