Sabino challenges Ceriello in M.P., Frankel seeks vacant seat in F. Hill BY R O S E W E L D ON Three mayor seats, 13 trustee seats and one village justice seat in municipalities across the Manhasset area will be up for grabs in elections on Tuesday. With one exception in Flower Hill, incumbents are seeking reelection in every seat. MUNSEY PARK Anthony Sabino is running against one-term Mayor Lawrence Ceriello for the top seat in the village, village Clerk Tara Gibbons told Blank Slate Media via email. Sabino, an attorney and law professor at St. Johnâs University who co-founded the Sabino and Sabino practice in Mineola, was elected to a two-year term as a trustee in 2018 on the Residents for a Better Munsey Park ticket after serving on the villageâs Building Advisory Committee, but lost a re-election bid in
2020 when his seat and that of outgoing Trustee Jennifer Noone were taken by Regina Im and Gregory LiCalzi. Ceriello, an attorney and partner in the real estate group of the Manhattan-based firm Morrison and Foerster, is also a former trustee, having won one term in 2017 before succeeding Frank DeMento as the villageâs mayor in an uncontested race in 2019. Trustee Joseph Williams, who was elected to Cerielloâs vacant seat in 2019, is seeking re-election, as is two-term Trustee and Deputy Mayor Antonio DâAngelo. Both trustees are uncontested in their races. Residents can vote at Village Hall, located at 1777 Northern Blvd., from noon to 9 p.m. PLANDOME HEIGHTS Trustees Daniel Cataldo, Gus Panopolus and Norman Taylor are Continued on Page 27
