Dennis Joseph Epilone, formerly of Hicksville, passed away on April 19, 2012 suddenly. His children, Hicksville residents, are Stephanie, Joseph and Michael Epilone. Dennis was loved and adored in the Hicksville community and could always make everyone laugh. He will be sorely missed by many of us. He was so proud of his kids and loved them with all of his heart. He loved watching them play on their Hicksville teams and was so proud to witness his son Joseph hit the first ever home run over the fence on the new turf fields at Abe Levit Park. His family wishes to thank everyone who has been supportive during this time of loss.

Across Nassau County, residents are reacting with mixed emotions to the Nassau County District Attorney’s recent arrests of more than 100 men for soliciting prostitutes, including three from Hicksville, four from Levittown, eight from Wantagh and East Meadow, and one from Bethpage. The DA’s office not only arrested the men, but made public their names and photographs.
But for as shocking as these very public revelations may be, some local residents seem nonplussed by the whole incident.

West East All Natural Bistro and Wine Bar is a fresh and virginal startup that provides hope for change in a landscape that has become stagnant and saturated with the same, tired, fast food, assembly-line approach, and artificially hospitable corporate eateries.
A few years ago Raquel Jadeja and her husband, Jay were just regular customers of Danny Wu’s establishment. Wu is the original owner of The West East All Natural Bistro. The Jadejas many years of restaurant experience led them to become Wu’s unofficial consultants. Their friendship, which was a symbiotic progression, culminated when Jay became a co-owner and head chef in October of 2012.
