New here - need advice
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 05-01-2011 - 6:03am
Hi all - I'm from the UK but the UK site doesn't seem to have a message board for this topic, so here goes:
I've been seperated from my ex for six and a half years. We're now divorced and he's remarried.
He was extremely emotionally abusive during our relationship, repeatedly unfaithful, critical etc etc. We had three children and eventually he held my 6 year old daughter down in a fit of temper, at which point I told him to leave.
I hoped that he would improve once we were no longer together, but my daughter has become more and more unhappy. She's been saying for a long time that she didn't want to go to his house anymore (they now go every Wed and every other weekend). She says he undermines her, criticizes her, constantly swings from being nice to critical etc. Now she's told me that he grabbed her recently and made as if to punch her (made a fist and pulled it back but didn't strike). apparently his wife had to pull him away.
She told me that she remembers the original incident when she was six and has been remembering it vividly, shaking and crying. She refused point blank yesterday to go to his house (he had already taken my sons) and so I called him, told him she was distressed, didn't want to come and I wasn't going to force her. I told him we needed to meet to discuss some issues. (I refused to discuss them on the phone).
Well, he went mad. Ranted down the phone at me that he wasn't going to stand for it, it wasn't the first time he had had to put up with this from me, she and I didn't get to go off together and make decisions without consulting him etc etc. I have tried many times to talk to him over the past few years about her, he has always dismissed me and told me that she needed firm boundaries to feel safe and if we allowed her to 'dictate' about where she lived it would be bad for her. This time he ranted and ranted, wouldn't let me talk and finally hissed 'Do not push this. Do not push this'. I repeated that she wasn't coming, and told him she wanted to have a meeting with both of us there and his new wife because there were things she wanted to say.
There was complete silence for about a minute and a half and then he hung up.
He hasn't called back, or contacted my daughter by text, phone or email to check how she is. I have no idea what he's going to do. I started shaking uncontrollably after speaking to him, it brought back all the feelings of the eleven years with him.
I have booked counselling for myself and my daughter. I don't know what else to do. I'm scared he may try to prevent my sons from coming home in retaliation. I don't know what he's saying to them about my daughter and me. If he tries to take me to court I think we'd win (my daughter is 13 and very certain about what she wants) but I worry about the effect on all three of my children.
I am feeling completely wrecked. I don't have a partner and haven't even had a date for four years (I briefly dated someone before that who stalked me - I was obviously in such a state that I repeated the pattern) and since then have not been able to bring myself to trust another man.
Does anyone have any advice or strategies for dealing with him from now on? What do I do about my sons?
|Sun, 05-01-2011 - 1:10pm
Thank you so much for replying. I have already looked through that website and called their helpline. They were good and referred me to a local branch who can offer counselling, home visits etc.
I guess really I just wanted to be in touch with others who knew what I was going through. The ivillage site was fantastically helpful when I was pregnant and so I came here just to know I'm not alone.
He has now emailed me (still no text or call directly for my daughter to check how she is) going on and on about how unreasonable I'm being, how I'm undermining his authority, preventing him from parenting our daughter etc. He wants to have a mediation session with a counsellor. I am not willing to do this as I have been told by womensaid that abusers tend to turn counselling sessions into a platform to attack the other person, sometimes even manipulating the counsellor into agreeing with the abuser. I do not want to put myself in that position ever again. He has not responded to my offer to meet with him, his wife and my daughter so that she can say face to face what she has experienced.

Winnipeg, MB
-15°c Partly cloudy
There are cockroaches and bedbugs, crack dealers and addicts, but for some at least, a rooming house provides a roof over their heads.
Michael, a childlike pensioner who favours oversized 1970s glasses, has something you don't expect to see in one of the filthiest, most menacing rooming houses in Winnipeg.
Lined up meticulously on his TV table sit a dozen tiny plastic toys and cars — the kind children get inside the chocolate egg of a Kinder Surprise.
"I've got 20 to 30 stuffed animals in my room," says Michael, a veteran resident of a behemoth rooming house on Spence Street. And, he loves Elvis. A nicely-curated cluster of photos of the King are tacked up on his wall.
Michael is fastidious, almost militarily so. He lines his shoes up neatly on newspaper and even puts a placemat under the old ghetto blaster that sits on the floor.
But the years of grime and decay — the walls a cigarette-smoke jaundice, a sink with no taps, pockmarked flooring, the hazy third-floor heat — make his efforts almost pyrrhic.
Michael's rooming house just south of Sargent Avenue in the Spence neighbourhood is ground zero for one of the city's most intractable and often tragic social policy problems, one that's shifting into a full-blown crisis thanks to Winnipeg's real estate boom.
Michael lives on a block with 19 other rooming houses, the biggest concentration in the neighbourhood. Even the longtime home of legendary Free Press editor John Dafoe is among them.
And, Michael's neighbourhood has the most rooming houses in Winnipeg at nearly 120.
His is one of the more troublesome ones, bedevilled by crack dealers and addicts, young prostitutes and the kind of dreary dilapidation that breeds conflict among residents. Cockroaches and bedbugs compete for insect domination. There is no real caretaker, and the landlords are so absentee that residents joke they must be in the Cayman Islands. The only way to contact them is to leave a note in the safe where rent cheques are dropped.
But, shuttering the Spence Street mansion would make at least 18 people homeless.
As bad as it is, the three-storey warren of rooms represent a proper roof for some of the city's most vulnerable, hardest-to-house people — not lazy welfare bums, mostly, but folks who have obvious mental or cognitive problems, chronic addictions like the young Red Seal welder who works just enough to support his crack habit, or who have weathered hardships and violence that most suburbanites cannot fathom.
"Rooming houses are a last resort for a lot of people, the only option," said Mary Burton, the rental housing worker at the Spence Neighbourhood Association. "You can't judge a person by where they live. You don't know what their story is."

The Trickster in Contemporary Film
By (author) Helena Bassil-Morozow
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
Trickster in Contemporary Film by Helena Bassil-Morozow
Book DescriptionThis book discusses the role of the trickster figure in contemporary film against the cultural imperatives and social issues of modernity and postmodernity, and argues that cinematic tricksters always reflect psychological, economic and social change in society. It covers a range of films, from Charlie Chaplin's classics such as Modern Times (1936) and The Great Dictator (1940) to contemporary comedies and dramas with 'trickster actors' such as Jim Carrey, Sacha Baron-Cohen, Andy Kaufman and Jack Nicholson. The Trickster in Contemporary Film offers a fresh perspective on the trickster figure not only in cinema but in Western culture in general. Alongside original film analyses, it touches upon a number of psychosocial issues including sovereignty of the individual, tricksterish qualities of the media, and human relationships in the mercurial digital age. Further topics of discussion include: common motifs in trickster narratives the trickster and personal relationships gonzo-trickster and the art of comic insurrection. Employing a number of complementary approaches such as Jungian psychology, film semiotics, narrative structure theories, Victor Turner's concept of liminality and Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the carnivalesque, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of film, as well as anyone with an interest in analytical psychology and wider critical issues in contemporary culture.

"Fagbug" Documentary and Filmmaker to Visit Fisher October 11
It was the 11th Annual National Day of Silence in 2007. Erin Davies was a student living in Albany. She proudly displayed a rainbow sticker on her Volkswagen Beetle, a sticker that ultimately made her the victim of a hate crime.
Her car was vandalized and left with hate words placed on the car's driver side window and hood. At first, she was embarrassed and shocked. But something told her to take the experience, embrace it, and use it to teach others a lesson.
She set off on a 58-day trip in the graffiti-peppered car around the United States and Canada, and she was armed with a video camera for the entire trip. Her car became known worldwide as the "fagbug," and after driving it around for one year, she gave it a complete makeover. She documented her trip, and premiered the movie, Fagbug, a year later.
Today, Davies lives in Syracuse, and travels across the country to tell her story with her mission to raise awareness about hate crimes and homophobia in our society. By sharing her story, she hopes to give a voice to those who are silent, to inspire others to take a stand against bullies, and to be an example of how to overcome obstacles by bringing a creative project to life. She is currently working on a second documentary.
Davies will return to the St. John Fisher College campus for the third year in a row on Thursday, October 11, which is also National Coming Out Day. The film will begin at 6:00 p.m. in Basil 135, and will be followed by a Q&A session with Davies. In addition, her car will be parked in the LeChase Commons on Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Davies' visit is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs.

FRIDAY, April 18, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Restaurants near public housing developments tend to offer unhealthy meals, a new study finds.
Researchers analyzed menus from 61 fast-food and 72 table-service restaurants within a half mile of 13 housing developments and four residential neighborhoods in the Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., areas.
The housing developments and residential neighborhoods had similar numbers of restaurants, the majority of them fast-food outlets in both types of communities. Residents of the housing developments were predominately black and had low incomes.
"There has been a lot of research looking at the 'food desert' concept in which healthy foods are less available or accessible in lower-income neighborhoods," study co-author Katie Heinrich, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., said in a university news release. "In this study we found that both neighborhoods had equal access to foods, but that the quality of those available to public housing was much lower."
About three-quarters of the entrees offered at restaurants near housing developments were high in calories and fat and low in whole grains, vegetables and fruits, according to the study in a recent issue of the American Journal of Health Behavior.
"There is the thought that people are unhealthy because they make poor choices, and that can certainly be true. But there is a huge influence from the environment that people are in that goes beyond individual responsibility," Heinrich said.
"Here we saw that 75 percent of the time it's going to be very easy to pick an unhealthy entree from a menu because those unhealthy entrees make up the majority of a menu," she said.
The researchers also found that table-service restaurants offered more healthy entrees than fast-food restaurants. And fast-food restaurants were more likely to promote super-sized meal items, and to target youngsters by having mascots and offering toys with food items.
The study findings are "important because if you go to a restaurant that has a few healthy choices and a lot of unhealthy choices, the chance of picking an unhealthy entree increases significantly," Heinrich said.
Fast-food outlets outnumber table-service restaurants near public housing developments, and this imbalance can lead people with tight budgets to choose cheaper, unhealthy foods, Heinrich explained.
"I think that there is a delicate balance between trying to make healthy food choices and having your environment facilitate healthy choices," she said. "But if we don't set up environments where the majority of choices can potentially be healthy, it becomes much more likely that people are going to make unhealthy choices."

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/4/14
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Christian Ponder showed Sunday in helping the Minnesota Vikings beat the Detroit Lions why it's necessary to stick by the second-year starting quarterback. Ponder, who had struggled for most of the previous five games, completed 24 of 32 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with nine different receivers and not committing a turnover. Sunday was the type of progress Minnesota needs to see from its franchise quarterback. Some had wondered about Ponder's claim to that title, but the Vikings weren't swaying on Ponder because of a few rough games. "I know everybody in this organization believes Christian Ponder is our guy, and I have full, 100 percent belief that Christian Ponder's going to be our quarterback heading into the future," general manager Rick Spielman said Wednesday. "You also know that, as young guys develop, they're going to have hiccups. But you've got to be patient, and I thought last week (offens...

A move by Democratic Sen. Peter Galbraith in the Senate Government Operations committee early last week sought to bifurcate some of the requirements of H.73, a law passed by the House earlier this session that seeks more transparency in government. Galbraith's suggestion was to hold state government accountable for newer, and tougher, language that opens government records and public meetings, but exempt local governments.

ADDISON COUNTY — Late last week, county residents living near streams, rivers and lakes watched with bated breath as water levels climbed in some spots to record-breaking heights.
On Thursday, levels in Lake Champlain topped out at 102.36 feet above sea level, then began to slowly decline. Following more rain in the area late that night, water levels hit 102.64 on Friday. Those levels were far above the flood stage of 100 feet, and they exceeded the previous record lake height of 102.1 feet, set in 1869.
MIDDLEBURY — Last Thursday, one of the creators of an important report on Vermont agriculture stopped by Middlebury to highlight the pivotal role Addison County plays in the local food economy and to encourage those involved in local food production to keep at it.
"You guys rock. We all rock," said Ellen Kahler to the approximately 40 county residents, food producers and college students who gathered at Middlebury College for her presentation on the statewide Farm to Plate Strategic Plan.
MIDDLEBURY — Imagine a computer game where the user plays a waiter in a café, responsible for keeping the customers happy with quick service and small talk.
Now imagine that the game is conducted in another language, and that it is part of a foreign language curriculum.
SALISBURY — The date was April 2, 1865, and Salisbury's Lester Hack was a long way from home, in a whole world of hurt.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Planning Commission will discuss Section 12 — pertaining to "Land Use" — of the rapidly evolving update to the town plan at its Tuesday, May 3, meeting, which will be held in Holley Hall at 7 p.m. Section 12 is the most heavily scrutinized section of the town plan and it will set the visionary guidelines for future gravel extraction in Bristol.
Section 12 spans pages 62-71 of the 120-page draft town plan update, which can be found at www.bristolvt.net.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union board and teachers have agreed in principal on a new, four-year contract, the terms of which will be made public after ratification by all the school boards in the school district.
The new contract retroactively covers the past two years and the next two. For the first time ever, this single contract will cover all of the elementary and secondary school teachers in the seven-town ACSU.
VERGENNES — Expenses for operating the Vergennes recycling center are dropping and costs will be lower for not only the city, but for surrounding towns as well, City Manager Mel Hawley told Vergennes aldermen at their April 26 meeting.
Hawley said Casella Inc. has dropped fees for accepting recycled material, allowing him in turn to lower charges at the West Street recycling center. Aldermen approved the lower rates at the meeting.

Ad Libs: Pop go the props if the actors don't stop
Original post made by Rebecca Wallace, arts & entertainment editor of the Palo Alto Weekly, on May 28, 2010
Then Kris talked about her art: She coaches actors on how to move with their instruments and mime playing, so they look like real classical musicians.
Kris cracked me up when she said the script was very passionate -- which meant she had to remind the actors that never, even in the heights of anger, would a real musician actually slam his violin down.
Fortunately for the props department, the actors aren't playing heirlooms. ...

From humble beginnings, the Green Party stirred up German politics when it entered parliament three decades ago. What started as a protest party is now an established part of the country's political landscape.
In her hand-knitted, mohair sweater, Marieluise Beck stood out in the German Bundestag among lawmakers meeting to vote for chancellor on March 29, 1983. She was one of 28 new members of parliament elected in a national vote on March 6, 1983. "It was breathtaking," she said. "It actually came as a shock for the political establishment in Bonn."
Next to her, in a proper suit and tie, sat the leader of the Christian Democrats (CDU), Helmut Kohl - the new chancellor. Marieluise Beck congratulated him, though not with a customary bouquet of flowers.
The young Green politician handed the chancellor a sparse pine bough in the name of a citizens' initiative to fight the decline of Germany's forests.
Humble beginnings
The Green party had been founded just three years earlier, at a time when hundreds of thousands of West Germans were taking to the streets to protest the stationing of US intermediate-range, nuclear-warhead missiles on West German soil. Fearing the missiles represented the next phase in the global nuclear arms race, environmental, peace and human rights activists came together in January 1980. They viewed themselves as a peaceful, ecological, grass-roots democratic movement more than an actual political party - something of an "anti-party" party.
By the mid-1990s, however, the Greens had matured and outgrown those early stages. In 1998, the Greens entered into a national government coalition with the Social Democrats; Joschka Fischer became the country's high-profile foreign minister and deputy chancellor. The party now had to prove it could govern. Key moments for the Greens came in a 1999 vote on German participation in military missions in Kosovo, as well as in an agreement with energy providers in 2000 on the phasing out of nuclear energy by 2021.
The coalition of the Greens and Social Democrats was defeated in the 2005 parliamentary elections, sending Greens back to the opposition benches. Observers feared the party's decline when Fischer, whom many regarded as the driving force within the party, left the political stage.
Beck recalled the worries surrounding Fisher's departure, "The years have proven, however, that the party is carried by its issues."
In the state of Baden-Württemberg in 2011, the immensely popular Winfried Kretschmann became the party's first-ever Green state premier. The state capital, Stuttgart, is also ruled by a Green party mayor. In terms of coalition-building, the party has become a serious consideration for conservatives and Social Democrats alike. In opinion polls, its numbers have never been better.
Political weight
The history of the Greens is a success story, said Lothar Probst, a professor of political science at the University of Bremen. "They are what we call an 'middle party' that's gets election results ranging from 10 to 20 percent," Probst said, adding that such results put them ahead of smaller parties like the Left Party, the liberal Free Democrats, and the Pirates.
A reason for the party's strength is that their voter base is much broader than it was decades ago. Today, the party is involved not just with environmental issues, but with a spectrum of topics including education, social justice, consumer and climate policies.
Running out of topics?
Where environmental topics were once the exclusive prerogative of the Green party, however, those issues have now become key issues across the political spectrum. Other parties now sponsor environmental legislation. After the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats became outspoken opponents of nuclear energy.
But that does not mean that Greens can forget about such issues, said Probst.
"We are still at the very beginning and are already facing many problems and conflicts," he said.
Probst said he saw room for the Greens to get involved in current food scandals, an issue they have had success with in the past.
Beck, too, said she was convinced the Greens will not run out of issues.
"No one can dismiss ecological necessities, certainly not a growing global population that seeks - and has a right to - prosperity," she said. "[People] must recognize that in the long run, growth can't function at the cost of nature."
Where will the Greens be in five years? Busy with the next election campaign, Beck said, and "hopefully on its way from one government to the next one."
As her second term comes to an end, things are getting uncomfortable for Angela Merkel. The opposition wants to dictate the political agenda with its majority in the upper house, and is looking to block new laws. (28.02.2013)
Germany is in the process of completely transforming its energy sector at a pace unmatched by other industrialized nations. Nuclear power is being phased out as renewables are gradually taking over. (22.01.2013)
German intelligence sources say some 60 Germans have died fighting for the jihadist group "Islamic State." Many others have returned from conflict zones in Syria and Iraq - and now pose a threat at home.
Though successful in state elections, Germany's Green Party cuts a weak figure in the Bundestag. The Greens' conference in Hamburg showed unity, despite internal differences regarding the party's future course.
Keep up with the latest as Hamburg meet Bremen in the Bundesliga's Northern German derby. But first Lewish Hamilton and Nico Rosberg race for the Formula 1 drivers' title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Russian foreign minister has spoken out against the West saying it is seeking a regime change in Moscow. The conflict in eastern Ukraine continues to claim lives amid allegations of Russia deploying more troops.
Schalke's win against Wolfsburg gives a much-needed boost to the Roberto Di Matteo project. But for a team with such humble beginnings, hard work - rather than an ex-Chelsea boss - will ensure success.

"However, the cortex, which is dwarfed in most species by other brain areas, makes up a whopping 80 percent of the human brain. Compared with other animals, our huge cortex also has many more regions specialized for particular functions, such as associating words with objects or forming relationships and reflecting on them. The cortex is what makes us human."
-- John J. Ratley, M.D., "A User's Guide to the Brain: Perception, Attention, and the Four Theaters of the Brain"
I'm not sure what, if anything, meaningfully connects these fragments to the passing of Robert Altman -- or his films, as alive now as they ever were -- but they were all things I encountered during a day spent thinking about Altman and, to my surprise, not wanting to speak out loud about him to anyone. I talked to my mother on the phone. She asked hesitantly, "Have you heard any news today?" "Yeah," I said, and changed the subject. What can I say that isn't trivial? (Rhetorical question, please.)
In this state of grief, nothing I'm writing or thinking about Altman is adequate, or even makes much sense, in large part because a whole moviegoing lifetime of engagement with his movies (beginning at age 15) has so profoundly shaped who I am and how I experience the world. Like hundreds, thousands (millions?) of cinephiles and cinephiliacs, I found life (and, paradoxically, shelter) in Robert Altman's movies. "Nashville" is my church, to which I return again and again for joy, insight, inspiration and sustenance. (I haven't written about it for years, but I also know that I'm almost never not writing about "Nashville.")
To this day, I am in some deep but irrational sense convinced that the characters in "Nashville" (even though I know they're played by 24 of my very favorite stars!) continue to exist outside the parameters of the movie itself. I've met and interviewed, for example, Ned Beatty, but there's Ned Beatty the actor and then there's Delbert Reese, who is someone else entirely. Delbert exists, imaginatively independent of the great actor (one of my all-time favorites) who inhabited him in "Nashville." (This is most unlike the other most-influential movie in my life, Roman Polanski's "Chinatown," made just the year before "Nashville," which is as "closed" a film as "Nashville" is "open." "Chinatown" ends so definitively that, "Two Jakes" aside, any life beyond the final frame is unthinkable.)
Right now I just want to share another fantastic memory: In 2000, I heard there was going to be a 25th anniversary reunion screening of "Nashville" at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. I'd moved back to Seattle by this time, but I bought tickets the moment they became available (for five bucks apiece) and went to LA for the event: My favorite movie, in a pristine print, in one of the finest movie theaters in the world, with most of those 24 favorite stars in attendance. It was... transplendent (as a Shelley Duvall character once said). I'll post an update with IDs later, but for now, see if you can identify the people onstage (taken with a now-primitive, but still beloved, Canon Digital Elph)
Pauline Kael's famous, ebullient review of "Nashville" here reminds us how exciting and innovative the movie was in 1975.

Maksym leads Farmingdale
Updated: April 13, 2009, 11:34 AM ETBy Ryan Canner-O'Mealy | ESPN RISE Magazine
One after another, the shots whizzed past Lauren Maksym. Within minutes, a dream season had turned into a nightmare.
Then just a freshman, Maksym had helped lead Farmingdale (N.Y.) on an improbable run to the Class A state semifinals. But there, the Dalers ran into a dominant Fayetteville-Manlius squad.
"It was 8-1 or 8-2 before we could blink," Farmingdale girls' lacrosse coach Shari Campbell says. "During a
timeout, Lauren came over and had tears in her eyes. She was shell-shocked, ...

The 2014 Oyster Bay High School Lady Baymen varsity spring track team recently completed a most memorable and record breaking season. Two school records were shattered this season; one relay record and one individual. Oyster Bay's 4x800 meter relay team comprised of seniors Nicole Giannetti, Cassandra Iacono and juniors Linda Cameron and Rachel Wesley, broke the existing school record, and later broke their own record with a time of 10:01.56 at the Section VIII State Qualifier Meet on May 29.Nicole Giannetti's senior year as a member of the Oyster Bay Girls' Varsity Track team will also be one that will be long remembered. In addition to helping break the school's 4x800 meters relay record, Giannetti broke the school's 2000 meter steeplechase record, with a time of 7:23.79. Winning the 1500 meter run in very dramatic fashion at the Nassau Coaches Invitational, with an amazing time of 4:59 was a memorable mid-season highlight. Giannetti earned All-Conference honors in both the 1500 meters and 3000 meter runs and All County honors in the 2000 meter steeplechase. Giannetti qualified for the New York State Track and Field Championship in the 2000 meter steeplechase, finishing fifth and thus earning All-State honors. Giannetti was recruited by Haverford College to run for them when she attends this fall where she will study bio-chemistry.
The 2014 Oyster Bay High School Lady Baymen Varsity Softball Team was crowned Class B Nassau County Champions this season when they defeated Carle Place High School in the finals at Mitchel Park in Uniondale. The Lady Baymen swept the best of three series with 2-0 and 11-9 victories. The week before in the Class B semi-finals, the Lady Baymen swept East Rockaway High School by scores of 6-0 and 13-1 to advance to the county finals. Next up for the county champs was the Long Island Championship game on June 5 at Mitchel Park, where the Lady Baymen lost in a thrilling 10- inning battle with Center Moriches High School.
During regular season play this year the Lady Baymen were placed in conference 2 and played a very competitive schedule against the top 11 teams in Class A, which earned them the number one seed in the Class B playoff format. The Lady Baymen finished the season with a 10 - 13 record. The Lady Baymen will graduate three seniors and co-captains this year: Olivia Agostinello, who will be attending Temple University; Caroline Kelly, who will be attending Elon University; and Jacqueline Romeo; who will be attending Oswego University in the fall.
The remainder of the roster for the Lady Baymen includes juniors: Madison Albert, Michelle Morris, Kelly McKeon, and Brittany Wilson; sophomores: Dana Galgano, Alicia Romeo, Samantha Romeo, and Danielle Sugar; freshmen: Emily Moore, Alexandra Gagliardi, Sarah Collette, and Kaela Kilfoil.
The 2014 Boys Track season had its share of ups and downs throughout the first eight weeks of the season. Narrow margins of defeat to Roosevelt High School (13-1) and Carle Place (8-6) left the Baymen with a conference record of 7-7 but, with a chance to revive their season with a victory at the Division Championship meet at Cold Spring Harbor on May 12.
Juniors Jack Sherbal, John Ottaunick, Chris Canadeo and Francis Kalombo-Ngoy were expected to score the majority of the teams points along with Seniors Stephen Vlavianos and Adrian Maznio. Sophomores Alex Tosi, Jason Cassella and Jerry Ochoa would have their hands full competing against an impressive group of runners from Friends Academy.
Sherbal was the most dominant Bayman of the day, walking away with two individual titles in the Long Jump (19'9) and Triple Jump (39'2) and earning All-Division by placing 3rd in the 110HH (17.7). He earned 26 points out of the team's 138 points as they won by a comfortable margin over Friends Academy (94 points) and Carle Place (93 points).
Jack would later earn all-county in status, and eventually qualify and compete in the Pentathlon at the New York State Championships held in Cicero New York.
Other members of the team who earned All-Division status and contributed significantly to the team's victory were John Ottaunick (100m), Adrian Maznio (400m hurdles), Alex Tosi (1600m, 3200m, and 4 x 800 relay), Chris Canadeo (Shot Put), Stephen Vlavianos (Discus), Francis Kalombo (800m) and Jason Cassella (3200m). While only the top three performances in each race earned All-Division, competitors who placed in the top 6 earned points for their respective teams. Jerry Ochoa, Dylan Mavros, Matt Palczewski, John Falcone, EJ Madden and Kevin Ochoa all placed in the top 6 of at least one event, making this championship a true team effort.
The victory was a bittersweet one for Coach Kevin Cotter, as it was the final match-up against Carle Place coach Adrienne Tonner, who is retiring from coaching Carle Place track after decades of success. Coach Cotter said of Tonner, "He was part of a successful program that won this championship for 10 years in row. He's a competitor, and a gentleman that I have always used as my standard of success. I learned many lessons coaching alongside him."
The Lady Baymen Girls Lacrosse team had a very successful year in their second season of existence. The girls went all the way to the county final before falling to nationally ranked Cold Spring Harbor. During the season, the girls posted a record of 11-6 competing in a very tough conference II and received many post season awards. Rebecca Layne and Vanessa Yu were named All-County, while Michelle Yu earned Honorable Mention All-County honors. In addition, Hannah Kaiser, Nicole Hauser and Emma Devereaux received All-Conference nods and Shelby Cook was named "Unsung Hero." This year's graduating seniors will be tough to replace, but the future looks bright for the Baymen with 10 of 12 starters returning and key players coming back from injury. Over the past two seasons the girls have accumulated a record of 23 - 8, finishing this season ranked 15 in the state.
Sunday, 23 November 2014 00:00Driving rain and an early start time did not deter 600 people who arrived at Crest Hollow Country Club recently to celebrate the Women's Fund of Long Island's 20th year and to honor four exceptional women.
The breakfast started with a meet and greet and a chance to showcase Women's Fund contest winner Patti Hogarty, designer of "Women as Bamboo." Inspired by her neighbor's bamboo, she entered the contest drawing a design of the bamboo, which Ambalu Jewelers of Roslyn then turned into various pendants of which 40-percent of the profits would go to WFLI. Hogarty wrote a short essay comparing women to bamboo in that they are strong and can weather difficult storms, yet remain graceful and continue to grow sending out new shoots.

Oyster Bay High School Principal Dr. Dennis O'Hara addressed the board of education at Tuesday night's meeting about offering a summer school program at the high school. It would be the first time the district had a summer school program in more than 12 years.
Dr. O'Hara explained that with the institution of the Common Core state standards, students are faced with a greater level of academic rigor and more challenging coursework. The program would offer remedial and enrichment classes for students both in and out of district.

In the history of Oyster Bay High School athletics, no one has ever won a Girls' Tennis New York State Championship. Celeste Matute and Courtney Kowalsky became the first when they won the 2014 New York State Doubles Championship in Latham on Nov. 3. What makes this tremendous achievement even more remarkable is that Matute is a junior and Kowalsky is a sophomore.
The girls, who are usually singles players, teamed up to take on the very best players in Nassau County and New York State. They won all 10 matches in the section XIII and NYSPHSAA tournaments and left Latham as the 2014 New York State doubles champions.
