The scene at last summer’s Rocco’s Voice for Autism event in Oyster Bay.
TOBAY Board votes to support local summer charitable events By MIKE POLANSKY Senior Correspondent The Oyster Bay Town Board voted unanimously at its July 15 meeting to support several local charitable events scheduled for this summer. Among the approved requests was one from Rocco’s Voice for Autism to use the TOBAY Beach Spray Park on July 29 for an event serving children with autism and their families. The organization aims to connect with families affected by autism and provide opportunities beyond traditional services. The event is free and open to the public. The board also approved a request from Giglio USA for assistance with its inaugural Festival of the Festa Del Giglio, to be held July 31 through Aug. 3 at Municipal
Parking Field M-5 in Massapequa. The festival honors San Paolino di Nola and is rooted in a centuries-old tradition. The Massapequa Giglio Association seeks to preserve and pass on the cultural heritage of the celebration. In addition, the Veterans Health Alliance of Long Island received approval for its first annual Ride for PTSD Awareness, which will be held Sat., Aug, 9 (Raindate Aug. 16). It will begin at Municipal Parking Field M-9 in Massapequa and conclude at Eisenhower Park. The Bethpage Chamber of Commerce was also granted support for its Carnival and Music on Broadway event, set for July 31 through Aug. 3 at Municipal Parking Fields B-1 and B-4 in Bethpage. The chamber will receive assistance from the town and the use of town equipment. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
The July 14 meeting of the Massapequa Park Village Board brought out both positive news and ongoing residential frustrations. The board unanimously approved Mayor Daniel Pearl’s appointment of Scott Wiss as Associate Village Justice. Wiss replaces Krista C. Palleschi, who became Village Justice following the June death of longtime Village Justice Gerard Giannattasio. Wiss holds a bachelor’s degree from SUNY Stony Brook and a J.D. from New York Law School. He currently serves as senior partner and managing attorney at Levine and Wiss, a law firm with offices in West-bury, Amityville, and Brooklyn. An active figure in the legal community, Wiss is the husband of Village Trustee Christine Wiss, a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Nassau Lawyers Association. He is affiliated with the Mas-sapequa Chamber of Commerce, the Nassau County Magistrates Association, and the Fraternal Order of Police. Wiss previously served Mass-
