EPL/Environmental Advocates, a leading New York State Environmental Group, has given its Legislator of the Year Award to Senator Carl L. Marcellino (R-Syosset) in recognition of his outstanding leadership on contaminated site cleanup legislation. The award was announced in the group's annual Voters' Guide, a comprehensive review of the environmental record of state lawmakers. FULL STORY

When Kmart Corporation announced earlier this year that it intended to close 326 under-performing stores as part of its Chapter 11 financial objectives review, Home Depot, Kohl's and Wal-Mart joined together to take over many of the store's leases. The Syosset location, at 111 Jericho Turnpike, will be a Home Depot store by spring of 2004. FULL STORY

This game saw Syosset have to play without two of its starters as both Jonathan Fuss and Brian Davis were unavailable. Coach Mosenson said, "That not having Jon Fuss on defense, really requires us to change our game plan and limits the ability of our team to take chances. He is such a good defender and a key to our success. Brian is one of our biggest, strongest and probably our most aggressive forward. We really miss when he isn't playing. Without the two of them, it puts us at a distinct disadvantage." Having said that, Coach Mosenson also said, "That the talent on this team is extremely deep and we should be able to overcome things like this." FULL STORY
