Billy Dean’s court date postponed to Wednesdayby Laura Schofer

Green 2009 Inc., better known as BillyDean’s, will be back in court onWednesday, March 14, after an adjourn-ment of that hearing on February 29.

Green 2009 Inc. is appealing the Townof Hempstead’s zoning Board of Appeals’latest decision in August to deny a cabaretlicense to its facility being renovated at3500 Sunrise Highway in Wantagh. Thisdecision reversed the board’s earlier deci-sion to grant a cabaret license, after neigh-bors and other residents brought newinformation to the board about Mr. Dean’sother facility, the Showtime Cafe in NorthBellmore, believed by many residents tobe a “strip club.”

“This board finds, that, in as much asthe applicant had effectively misled thisBoard as to the nature of the entertain-ment to be offered at the proposed newcabaret, not only did this board have suf-ficient grounds to direct a rehearing butthe applicant has no grounds to now assertthat it had relied in good faith on the res-olutions issued by the board which, inturn, had relied on Mr. Dean’s less than

candid and incomplete presentation.,”state the Findings of Fact issued by theBoard of Appeals.

At the May 18 hearing, attorneyWilliam Cohn, representing Green 2009,and its owner Billy Dean, countered that“you can’t make up the rules as you goalong,” arguing that the board had alreadygranted Mr. Dean permits. He also pre-sented case law that limited municipalpowers. “You may regulate land use butyou do not have the right to tell someonehow to run their business,” said Mr. Cohnat the time.

Finally, Mr. Cohn presented argumentsstating that the board had repeatedlygranted a cabaret license to this site goingback to 1969.

But in its Findings of Fact, the Board ofAppeals addressed these issues, statingthat the cabaret or “special use permitapproved by the board in 1969 was onlyfor the conversion of the use from that ofa tavern to a cabaret but expressly only tofeature “dancing and live music,” it reads.

“We find that the applicant for the spe-cial exception for the subject premises in1969 made an express representation to

this board, that, if the special exceptionwere granted, the proposed cabaret usewould exclude such exhibitions as ‘go-go-girls’ and similar forms of entertain-ment.”

In the Findings of Fact, the boardmakes reference to those forms of enter-tainment. “Mr. Dean began to advertisethis proposed new facility – 3500Sunrise HIghway – on his website, awebsite that clearly and exclusivelycaters to explicit adult entertainment(featuring among other things the guar-anteed six-minute lap dance, hot oilwrestling, etc.) and to the patrons of Mr.Dean’s self-described strip club locatedin Bellmore, and which offers onlyexplicit ‘adult’ entertainment and noth-ing more,” it reads.

However at the May 18 hearing Mr.Dean said the Wantagh location was not“like the North Bellmore location. “I aman entertainer. This will have a Las Vegasstyle show – dancers, jugglers, aerialacts.” He stated that he used his website asa way of cross-marketing because thosepatrons who frequent his North Bellmorelocation “Might be interested in attending

[the Wantagh location.]”But the board was not swayed by this

argument. “The applicant’s choice toadvertise this proposed new facility on itswebsite, without any statement to distin-guish the proposed use from such obviousadult fare, it is clearly evident to thisboard, that, with or without explicitly‘topless, bottomless or nude’ entertain-ment, it is [clear] that Mr. Dean’s whollyconclusory rubric of ‘Las Vegas StyleEntertainment’ in a ‘Las Vegas show-room’ coupled with the admitted fact thathe intends to limit entrance to minors byreason of age that the applicant has failedto meet its burden of proof that this pro-posed cabaret will not fall within the cat-egory of ‘adult entertainment’and will nothave a negative impact on property valuesand the quality of life in the nearby resi-dential neighborhood, and is thereforeforbidden at this location located within500 feet of a residential district.”

The argument will finally be settledafter both sides present their argumentsbefore state Supreme Court JudgeAntonio I. Brandveen on Wednesday,March 14.

WFD’s Snyder is honoredState Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr.

(R-Merrick) announced that the stateSenate recently passed a legislative res-olution he sponsored honoringWantagh Fire DepartmentCommissioner and ex-Chief DonaldSnyder for his 60 years of service to theWantagh community.

“For the last 60 years, Donald Snyderhas selflessly volunteered his time andenergy to protect the residents of theWantagh Fire District. His devoted serv-ice to the community deserves ouradmiration, respect, and gratitude. I’mpleased that the Senate passed this reso-lution to recognize his long and dedicat-ed service to the Wantagh FireDepartment and the community,” saidSenator Fuschillo.

Mr. Snyder first joined the WantaghFire Department in 1951. He worked hisway up through the department’s ranks,serving as a lieutenant, captain, andassistant chief before becoming chief ofthe department in 1962. In 1966, follow-ing his service as chief, he was electedas a fire commissioner and has held theposition ever since.

The resolution noted that throughouthis 60 years of devoted service, Mr.Snyder “heroically performed, aboveand beyond the call of duty,” the respon-sibilities required of a volunteer fire-fighter.

With passage of the resolution,Donald Snyder’s name and record ofservice will forever be part of the NewYork State Senate’s official record.

Seaford Youth Wrestling a successThe sixth season of Seaford Youth

Wrestling will be looked upon as one ofthe program’s most successful years todate. All 28 wrestlers ranging from firstto sixth grade came into the programknowing little, if anything, about thesport of wrestling.

By the season’s end, just four shortmonths later, those same kids were com-peting with some of the best kids in thecounty.

Fourteen wrestlers placed in localtournaments and five placed in the high-ly competitive Youth CountyChampionships held at Island Trees.

While the kids were all happy toreceive their awards, as coaches we didnot measure the season’s success in rib-

bons and medals. It was measured insteadby their improvement and by the numberof kids who fell in love with the sport. Itwas evident by the kids wrestling beforepractice had started and after it had endedthat they were really enjoying themselves.

“My son came home loving thesport. He is already counting the daysuntil the summer camp starts and isalready talking about next season,”said Emily Brandi. “He is all in fornext season.”

The Seaford coaches look forward toseeing the returners to the program con-tinue to improve and are even more anx-ious to begin teaching the next crop ofnewcomers for the first time.

The Bellmore Congregation ofJehovah’s Witnesses is building a newKingdom Hall on Pea Pond Road in NorthBellmore, on the Wantagh border.

The group has been around for decadesand, because of changing demographics,the reconstruction is designed to accom-modate congregation members of bothBellmore and East Meadow, which totalclose to 100 in each community.

“We are looking to increase space forBible education,” Anthony DiRusso,coordinating minister, told this newspaper.“We have increased the property from2,800 square feet to 3,900 square feet.”The new building will offer more parkingand be handicap accessible.

He noted that parking for congregants inprevious years was difficult at timesbecause there was not enough space, sothey had to park on side streets around theneighborhood. “There will now be over 41spaces,” he said.

The first Kingdom Hall was built in1959. Additional property was purchasedin 2001, with plans of expanding.However, in 2009, the hall was demolishedbecause the original plans for the pur-chased property changed. In September,construction of the new Kingdom Hallbegan, using both lots to build on.

Jehovah’s Witness congregations stretchfrom Merrick to Massapequa. The firstfour Kingdom Halls were in Bellmore,Massapequa, Bethpage and Farmingdale.But when the Farmingdale and Bethpage

halls relocated to their own properties, EastMeadow joined Bellmore. TheMassapequa hall was eventually closed.

The building boasts the newest in“green,” or environmentally friendly, fea-tures. For example, the new structure willbe powered by photo-voltaic cells that pro-vide the electricity. The energy is retrievedfrom sunlight using solar panels and is con-verted into electrical power.

A new geothermal wellwater system,which will regulate both the heat tempera-ture and cooling air inside, draws waterfrom wells below the property. Mr.DiRusso added that the new systems willsave running and operating costs by 80-90%. “The new hall is community-orient-ed; it fits in with the community,” he said.

Funds from the congregants are going

towards the cost of the construction. Mr.DiRusso added that additional fundsbecame available when the Massapequahall was sold. With the added space andincreased sanctuary, the new hall will holdapproximately 100 congregants. Proceedsfrom the services will be put towards thegeneral funds to help pay for the Bellmorebuilding.

“The Town of Hempstead is satisfiedwith our building plans,” Mr. DiRusso toldthis newspaper. With more parking spaces,members will not need to park in the street.

All of the people helping in the con-struction, from carpenters to heating con-tractors to lunch preparers during work, arevolunteers from the local congregations.The congregation hopes to have the newKingdom Hall finished by the summer.

Dr. George Caso: What thefamily doctor used to be

Guest editorial by Adrienne Garfinkel

Sometimes people living nearest to home are taken forgranted and not properly recognized. We have had an out-standing member in our community for eight decades, Dr.George Caso.

Longevity and selflessness are characteristics that shouldreceive community recognition. A member of Curé of Arsand its school doctor, he served as honorary chairman whenthe church and school buildings were being renovated. Hewas also a member of the Merrick Fire Department andserved as its fire surgeon for more than a half century.

When one considers what the family doctor used to be, youwould have the perfect portrait of Dr. George Caso. His wait-ing room was always filled and he not only had open officehours but made house calls regardless of weather conditions.He continually responded to all calls from police, fire and anyemergencies. In addition, one could knock on his door anytime if they needed his counsel, knowing that his patienceand skills as a master diagnostician were invaluable.

No one more than George Caso was a Merrick man: A grad-uate of Mepham High School (and in its Hall of Fame), heattended St. Lawrence University on full scholarships inter-rupted by three years of service in the U.S. Army Air Forcewith honor. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa, then attended med-ical school at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, com-muting daily on the LIRR. Then came his marriage to VirginiaWyszynski, R.N., followed by his next best decision: open-ing his practice in Merrick, his beloved hometown.

His first office was at 1 Merrick Avenue, the second was anapartment on Loines Avenue and then he built his home/ officeon the corner of Babylon Turnpike and Kirkwood Avenue.

An impressive part of his practice is that he has deliveredmore than 2,000 babies for Merrick mothers.

Dr. Caso takes pride in another great accomplishment – hisfive children, who are all professionals that serve our communi-ty population: Diane, doctor of social work; George III, judiciallawyer; Gina, M.D., internist; Cynthia, social worker; andJeffrey, DDS, dentist. His brother, Ralph Caso (deceased) was aformer Nassau County executive and the Nassau CountyExecutive building in Mineola is named in his honor.

Widowed and retired, Dr. Caso is working in anothercareer: author of three novels and a children’s book.Whenever the name Dr. Caso is mentioned, people enthusi-astically respond, “We love him!”

Your community wants to know. Are you a Caso-deliveredbaby or former patient? If so, please upload your photo andgreeting to our Facebook page or drop it off in our mail slotat 1840 Merrick Avenue, Merrick. We will be glad to sharethem as a tribute to the beloved doctor.

They’ve learned about trail markingsand helped plant 100 trees in honor of theGirl Scouts’ 100th Anniversary. At theFarm at Oyster Bay they took part in aspecial outdoor art program focused on thecolors and textures of nature and then usedtheir new insights to paint a giant mural.

The girls are learning what it means tobe considerate and caring. They’ve recy-

cled unwanted cans and bottles, using themoney to buy toys for their peers throughthe Toys for Tots program. Troop 3121saluted the bravery and sacrifice of thosewho defend our country while participat-ing in the Veterans Day Ceremony at theAmerican Legion. They also participatedin the Wantagh Fire Department’s firesafety program. Several members werehonored for their work creating fire pre-vention posters.

shop, Theater performances, fun atAdventureland, bowling, skiing and tripsto the circus and to see the Islanders.They’ve participated in several eventshonoring the 100th anniversary of the GirlScouts organization and its founder,Juliette Gordon Low.

Question: Tired of hearing this is a bad real estate market?

Answer: I am too! Really it is not a bad Real Estate Market, Homes are sell-ing, Buyers are buying, especially right here in our local South Shore. InterestRates are at an all time low. I broke in to Real Estate in 1973, interest rates werearound 8% as I recall – you can get a mortgage for less than 4% if you qualifynow – 2012. Prices of homes are down from the over inflated years of 2000-2007, and yes still coming down for awhile longer, but if your home has updatesand is priced to current market you will get a great price, the saying goes - selllow buy low.
