Billy Minicozzi Knows Oyster Bay

Billy Minicozzi called to identify the Aug. 30 mystery picture in the Enterprise Pilot. He said, “It’s people playing volleyball at Theodore Roosevelt Park.” That is correct.

The newspaper had an early deadline because of the Monday holiday, so he was the lone caller, and always a welcome voice to hear. If you remember, there was extensive coverage of beach volleyball during the Olympics, but at TR Park you don’t have to wear a bikini. It’s a ‘dress as you come’ event.

How Well Do You Know The Area? Do you know where this week’s picture was taken? If you do, call the Enterprise-Pilot at 747-8282 and let us know. If you have a picture that you think might be interesting for others to guess, drop it off in our box at Raynham Hall Museum, 20 East Main St., Oyster Bay. It was great to spot the young people playing volleyball — the picture was taken the day of the Oyster Festival kickoff event at the waterfront.

Speaking of the festival, get your appetite up for oysters and clams. Beverly Zembko is finalizing the menu for the Tom Reardon Memorial Food Court. We can’t wait to see what will be offered this year.

Last year we just loved the Po’ Boy sandwiches: fried oysters in a tasty roll. We went back for seconds.

Successful ArtWalk Stroll

Wednesday, 19 June 2013 00:00

With notices now coming in, the first ArtWalk on June 2, was a success. Walter Imperatore, co-chair of the Marketing Committee of the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of commerce offered, “We were generally happy with the results. Jim Perna of Long Island Picture Frame, who’s running this event for the chamber, said that he saw an increase in the number of people on the streets. That being said, we were looking to attract more people.”

ArtWalk also gave several artists the opportunity to share their talent with the public as the Arts & Antiques Walk planned for this summer’s Sundays debuted. It is intended to bring people to the hamlet by adding “eye candy” to the streetscape and Julie and David Heiss of the Madd Potter agreed it did.

Boys Lacrosse Wins County Championship

Thursday, 13 June 2013 00:00

County title is a first for Quakers and their program

With fans wildly cheering from the sidelines, the Friends Academy Boys Varsity Lacrosse team kept rival Cold Spring Harbor at bay before ultimately beating them 9-4 to capture their first ever Class C Nassau County Championship.

Coach Brian Crocco credits the team’s offensive balance with their success in the championship game and throughout the 14-2 season. “What we have found all season is that while we do have a few serious impact players who contribute quite a bit to our offensive success, what has been most remarkable is that we have shared the scoring well, especially in big games. During the championship game, we had seven different goal scorers contribute for the win — two seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores. We have six guys with at least 20 points each this season, so in crucial situations we have found that any number of guys can make a play.”
