An ounce of prevention...Next Tuesday is National Night Out, when com-

munities across the country gather for fun and toget to know their law enforcement friends better.

Around here, the Nassau County and Freeportpolice, together with other community organiza-tions, are hosting a Night Out at Cow MeadowPark in Freeport, starting at 6 p.m.

Gangs and teen violence can be prevented. Anounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Police and their communities always need toknow and work with each other. As they say, “Ifyou see something, say something.”

And one way is for police to visit classroomsand become known and trusted friends of the kids.Another is to organize sports events for kids andteens to help them use their energy in positiveways and learn teamwork skills that will servethem in whatever jobs they choose. Where youngpeople have hope of a good future, the lure ofcrime is less strong. Our police are doing thesethings and more to help build the character of law-abiding citizens.

Neighborhood watch groups could always ben-efit from more young members, just like the aux-iliary police and junior firefighters. And theseyoung members can develop skills that could helpwith their future careers. For example, more thanone young ambulance volunteer has become amedical doctor.

National Night Out highlights the importance ofcommunity policing, work that goes on every dayof the year.

6 Mislabeled products bannedfrom Baldwin head shop

Attorney General Eric T.Schneiderman announced Tuesday thata judge signed an order that permanent-ly removes mislabeled or unlabeledproducts, including synthetic marijuanaand other intoxicants, from the storeshelves of Daze Smoke Shop on SunriseHighway in Baldwin.

In addition to the removal of thesedangerous products, the owners of DazeSmoke Shop, Kim and Ryan Fulcher,must also pay a $17,000 penalty. Theorder comes in response to AttorneyGeneral Schneiderman’s lawsuit andundercover investigation, in whichagents went into Daze Smoke Shop andpurchased items such as Salvia, Mr.Nice Guy ‘LMAO’ and NightlightsMetaphysical Crystal Capsules.

“The proliferation of synthetic drugabuse is an emerging crisis on LongIsland and across the state. Our creativeapproach to addressing this epidemichas resulted in quick action from thecourts and the swift removal of thesedangerous illegal drugs from storeshelves,” said Attorney GeneralSchneiderman.

“We are putting other head shopsacross the state on notice. Syntheticdrugs are dangerous, and these storeswill be held accountable for violatingthe law by mislabeling or not labelingthese products.”

The agreement, which permanentlybans the sale of any synthetic drugs orintoxicants, was signed Tuesday byJustice Anthony L. Parga, SupremeCourt, Nassau County. The order comesafter the attorney general’s office con-ducted an undercover investigation intohead shops across the state, and filed

lawsuits against 12 retailers, includingDaze Smoke Shop. Gregory S. Lisi, theattorney for Daze Smoke Shop, was notimmediately available for comment.

The investigation revealed that headshop retailers were selling designerdrugs, including commonly known syn-thetics such as “bath salts” and “synthet-ic marijuana.” Undercover investigatorsstatewide also discovered head shopemployees were promoting these dan-gerous synthetic drugs and giving tutori-als on how to prepare and ingest them.

Under New York State's labeling law,at a minimum, consumer commoditiesmust identify the name and place ofbusiness of the manufacturer, packer, ordistributor, the common product name,the net quantity of contents, and the netquantity of servings, uses or applica-tions represented to be present withappropriate directions and warnings forcustomary use.

On July 10, the attorney generalfiled 12 lawsuits against 16 head shoplocations, including the Daze SmokeShop. Within 36 hours of filing thelawsuits, the attorney general’s officeobtained Temporary RestrainingOrders from all 12 judges effectivelyremoving the mislabeled productsfrom store shelves. Tuesday’s orderpermanently bans this retailer fromselling synthetic drugs.

Although federal and state authoritieshave attempted to outlaw certain chemi-cals and their analogs and to removethese items from commerce, their effortscontinue to fall short as the chemists andproducers providing the products forhead shops simply alter formulas andstay ahead of the legislation.

Since the Nassau Inter-CountyExpress (NICE) kicked off its non-stop summer bus service to JonesBeach State Park and the Nikon JonesBeach Theater earlier this summer,ridership has increased by 40% on theN88 line that serves Jones Beach,according to Michael Setzer, CEO ofNICE Bus.

“Jones Beach State Park is one ofNassau County’s most spectacular destina-tions and we are especially pleased to beable to offer a reliable transportation optionto the beach this summer,” said Mr. Setzer.“It’s even more gratifying to see the over-whelming response of our ridership.”

The N88 offers daily nonstop busservice to Jones Beach and Nikon JonesBeach Theater through Labor Day fromthe Freeport LIRR station every 30 min-utes on the half hour from 8:30 a.m.through 7:30 p.m., stopping at JonesBeach’s West and East Bathhouses andthe Central Mall, and returning to theFreeport station.

The Schooner still pleases every palate – in a newly refurbished setting

by Carissa Gagliardi, Arielle Martinez,Leah Sobel and Danielle Sopchak

Newly renovated, The Schooner is afamily restaurant with a twist. By day, it isa beautiful dining room with the best viewon the Nautical Mile. By night, it is a chicbar for a younger crowd. As a multifacetedestablishment, The Schooner is the perfectplace to enjoy great food and fun times.

Owners Ronnie Gaeta andFrank and FlorenceFineo opened TheSchooner in1971.

S i n c ethen, therestauranthas beencomple t e lyr e v a m p e d .Cabana 435, whichis under the managementof Mr. Gaeta’s son, Ronnie Gaeta Jr.,was created with a nightclub atmospherethat is open until the wee hours on theweekends.

About two and a half years ago, TheSchooner underwent massive reconstruc-tion – for a change of scenery. The entirerestaurant was renovated only to needanother reconstruction after HurricaneIrene in 2011. Mr. Gaeta said that Ireneblew off the deck, and there was at leasttwo feet of water in the restaurant.

However, the hurricane did not stop theowners from making The Schooner a wel-come place to eat and, therefore, renovatedit again to make it what it is today.

Upon arriving at the Schooner, cus-tomers enter a large wooden door thatlooks like an entrance to a boat. With onestep inside that door it feels even more likestepping onto a cruise ship. The walls, napkins and tablecloths are

bright white – like sails – and the windowsare slanted out, looking onto the water.Candles, seashells, miniature boats onplaques and even a map of Long Island

scatter about the Schooner.Inside, there is a mod-

ern styled bar withplenty of

ottomans tosit and relax.

On thed e c k ,tables are setfor outdoor din-ing right on thewater. There are eight boatslips on the deck, where customers canpark their boat, stay and have dinner.

The inside dining area hosts sit-downmeals for customers of all ages. They offera full menu, a children’s menu and dailyblackboard specials, while Cabana 435offers a bar menu. The Schooner alsooffers a price-fixe menu and early bird dis-counts Monday-Thursday.

Signature soupsThree of The Schooner’s signature

soups—seafood chowder, lobster bisqueand Tuscan white bean—satisfied thepalate. The creamy seafood chowder con-tained shrimp and clams. The Tuscan whitebean soup, the soup of day, was light andflavorful. But the lobster bisque is verymuch everyone’s favorite.

Popular dishesSome of The

Schooner’sm o s tpopularm e n u

items

are its lobsterand salmon

dishes – andrightfully so. The

salmon was tenderand flaky while served

with a complement of rice andvegetables.

While delicious crab cakes melt inyour mouth, the lobster mac and cheesewas a delectable choice. This dish is anadult version of the child treat, butcomes with larger chunks of lobster. Thestrawberry and mandarin orange saladwas the well-equipped salad of the day,overflowing with grilled chicken.

The bays by the Nautical Mile are

closed to clamming, forcing TheSchooner and other restaurants to buyclams from outside of the local area.Mr. Gaeta said The Schooner gets itsclams from Blue Point on PatchogueBay, and these clams have about thesame shelf-life as clams from bays thatare closer by.

The Schooner offers a variety of livemusic to enhance the atmosphere

and entertain the crowd.On Friday and

Saturday, there isa DJ at Cabana

435 from 5-11p.m. After 11,the nightclubmoves the

party insidebecause of strict

noise regulations. OnSundays between 1-4

p.m. an acoustic guitarist per-forms on the patio, and at 5 p.m. a liveband plays outside at the bar.

The Schooner is able to fit any cus-tomer’s liking. Whether it’s a Fridaynight out or a Sunday brunch, markthis restaurant on your list of places todine.

Carissa is a sophomore studyingjournalism at SUNY Geneseo; Ariellewill be a senior editing her BaldwinHigh School newspaper; Leah willattend the University of Michigan as afreshman studying journalism and psy-chology; and Danielle is a sophomorestudying English at the University ofTampa. All are Leader interns.

Designed on a platform of safety first,the Freeport Water Taxi is the latest way forpeople to not only see the beauty of thebays, but have the chance to experience adifferent kind of local transportation.

Rick Cohen is the owner and one of fourcaptains of the boat My Bonni V. Namedafter his wife, the 44-foot catamaran isFreeport’s new water taxi and tour service.The boat sails passengers to and fromFreeport’s Nautical Mile and PointLookout, and runs one-hour daytime andsunset cruises.

With a maximum capacity of 28 peo-ple, the boat provides an ample amountof room to sit and view the breathtakingscenery. The taxi also has a designated“splash zone,” where you can get wet—boat traffic and large waves permitting.

While life jackets line the ceiling, youprobably won’t need them sinceCaptain Rick takes you at a relaxingfive miles per hour.

Mr. Cohen and his daughter Emily, 23,

purchased the boat in March and startedthe service on Mother’s Day. Since then,the taxi has been wildly successful and isbooked solid on many nights.

“Right now the one-hour tours are morepopular, but the taxi service is slowlycatching up” in popularity, said Mr. Cohen.

Mr. Cohen, an Oceanside resident,chartered a fishing boat for eight years,and his family spent a lot of time inboats. “I’ve been on the water my wholelife,” said Emily, who is also the deckmanager and crew.

The Freeport Water Taxi is an innova-tive attempt to help eliminate the need todrive after drinking. Customers can callthe water taxi to make the trip betweenPoint Lookout and Freeport.

The water taxi is “based on a no drink-ing and driving platform,” said Mr.Cohen. “My other boat is down the canaland every Sunday I would see an endlessparade of cars that represent a drinkingand driving incident.” The taxi’s mainpurpose is to allow people to have funand get to their destination in a sensibleand safe way, he explained.

The Freeport Water Taxi has quicklybecome known for its sunset cruises,which are generally booked. The trip,which starts at 7:30 p.m. every day,begins in Freeport and travels along thebay, giving passengers beautiful viewsof the ever-changing colorful sky fromall sides of the boat.

On Wednesdays, Rachel’s WatersideGrill partners with the taxi and conductsa sunset wine and cheese cruise. Thehour-and-a-half cruise, for $29.95 perperson, includes wine, cheese and fruitplatters, a dessert buffet and coffee.

On Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday,the taxi runs from 3-10 p.m., while onFriday and Saturday people can board theboat from 3-11:30 p.m. Prices range from$7-$25 and the trip is free for childrenunder three years old.

The Freeport Water Taxi has privi-leges behind most of the restaurants onthe Mile. They are able to dock and con-veniently chauffeur customers to andfrom these restaurants, which includesThe Schooner, Rachel’s Waterside Grill,Bracco’s, Tropix, E.B. Elliot’s and more.

Additionally, private charters are

available Mondays and Tuesdays.Since the Freeport Water Taxi andTours has been on the water, it hasoffered specials for the Memorial Dayair show, the June Point Lookout fire-works show and for events such asbirthday parties.

Recently, because of high demand, thetaxi started a service to pick up peoplefrom Long Beach and take them toFreeport. Mr. Cohen hopes to keep thetaxi running until October and open inMarch for seal watching.

Takashe Carroll and Tiffany Burkefrom Brooklyn, took a spontaneous driveout to Freeport and rode the water taxi onthe hour daytime cruise. Ms. Burke said,“I enjoyed it, it was relaxing.” Ms.Carroll added, “It was calming after along day of work.” They both mentionedthey would do it again.

This family-oriented boat service isthe new way to travel around the bay.As a man from the corporate world,Mr. Cohen explained that he is goingto be “retiring to” his boat instead of“retiring from” his corporate job.

Freeport Water Taxi offers a new way to commute – and sight-see

THE VIEW experience when first embarking on a ride on the water taxi.
