 Welcome to Adventureland

Since 1962  Adventureland found 

Along the Long Island sound 

Look there everywhere around 

Rides and games merry-go-round 

It's a playground of family rides

When bumper cars drive and collide  

Flow of colorful balloon float on by 

Hurricane Coaster soars into the sky 

Open all summer is planned

Weekends winter seasonal span 

Restaurant and arcade stand

All year at Adventureland

HOME OF LONG ISLAND’S INDEPENDENCE

Published Great South Bay

1776 Battle of Independence

A time of history penance

Stage on Long Island land

Under Washington’s command

Defiant battle’s cries wrath

Trail the forsaken patriot’s path

Waging at Long Island coast

Independence was once lost

British troops sought to overtake

Thrashing Long Island’s landscape

British victory of one battle score

Yet, America ultimately wins the war

Liberty and freedom triumphed ever since

Look Ma No TV 

By Susan Marie Davniero
Published Great South Bay, Long Story Short

Look Ma no TV - I turned off the TV. Yet, the choice was not mine. By chance during our home renovations my husband and I moved out temporarily while the home repair (new kitchen/bath) work is being done. We didn't take the cable TV box with us deciding against it due to the expense of disconnecting and installing elsewhere could result in loss of our special plan. Without cable hookup no TV would work, so we're living without a TV.

Living without a TV is the new normal for us. We will be back home soon enough but during this time our life has change channels so to speak. It seems radio days are here again...as my husband, Bob and I turn on the radio; FAM Sports, WHLI AM, 1010 News and Family Radio. Reading has become a page turner in this chapter of our lives reading the newspapers,  books, magazines, jumble and crossword puzzles. And conversation has turned up its volume as my husband and I talk more.

I admit I can't join in with the office water cooler TV shows talk at work...but like a TV commercial, it was just chatter and a waste of time.  But shutting off the TV has it awards.  It seems shutting off the TV has become a blessing in disguise. The TV blocked my energy to be free to live life to the fullest. Without spacing out wasting time in front of TV I have found space in my day to get everything done. After years of Mom telling me to shut off the TV and do something worthwhile - I am. Mother was right after all.

For me, TV watching is like chocolate cake...it's something that I once enjoyed but was bad for me, that I don't do anymore. And I'm healthier and better shape since turning off the TV. And my husband and I only are getting closer.

Living without TV reminds me this is not our home. It's not forever and the real Gallup Poll can only be taken after we back home hooked up with cable, if I will resume the old TV habit. But I have learned that living without TV isn't so bad after all - I can survive! 

Without the accompaniment of the TV, I have found company with family, friends, hobbies, church and everything is getting done on my "to do list that." It's a new world. L

Life is not a spectator sport - I learned to live life not watch it. Essentially, turning off the TV has turn into a better healthier life style for me.

9/11 Locked In Our Memory

9/11 LOCKED IN OUR MEMORY

Verses and Visions A New Day Book

The 9/11 attack

There was no turning back

Twin Towers doomed

Devilish flames loomed

Towers fell of steel

Dawning horror surreal

Commanding evil here

Death lay near

What we dread

The massive dead

Amidst dark of death

What is left

A rumble mass

Colossal heap vast

Ruins on the street

Spill smoke and heat

Clouds barreling down

All over New York town

Suffocating ash wrath

Lies in the cloud’s path

The scare has begun

Driven to run

A snapshot to see

Of a city’s tragedy

The sacrifice lend

Of police and firemen

Gruesome reality

Of the mass fatality

As years may past

9/11 forever will last

The day will always be

Locked in our memory

9/11 LOCKED IN OUR MEMORY

The years may past yet 9/11 forever will last, locked in our memory.  On yearly cue, we commemorate the forsaken anniversary of September 11. Once on the ground towering over the people stood the Twin Towers. 

Today the barren burial land is renamed Ground Zero. To break into reminiscence of the somber world of darkness lucid on that day as pavements crumbled and air was sucked away by evil suffocation.  The 9/11 annual revisit is our presentiment to unite and memorialize the roster of the fallen, the brave, the sacrifice of women and men.  We shall never forget.

The unprecedented attack in 2001 brought home a renewed united patriotism – a light in the darkness, a flicker of hope on the ground of dust.  Lost of life that day cast somber a darkness saved by the light of a rich exchange of faith, hope and charity to go on.  September 11 was a turning point.  An awakening to see America is no longer unassailable. Yet, we can look back on that dismal day and see what we did not lose – our patriotism, prosperity and prayers.

It is the irony of America’s land of liberty and of the free to beckon the way on the path en route taken by terrorists, as worldwide globalization opens a gateway of entry, placing in position to target America’s economic, commerce and military supremacy. 

However, the heart of our power is Americans endurance to persevere and prosper.  The dust remains of 9/11 sin given to the wind. America has risen above, beyond the haunting doom fate of 9/11.  Terrorist shall not win.  However, given the World Trade Center rebuilding projection for construction with no end in sight, citing delays in progress – perhaps, alas, the terrorist won after all.  

Alas, in a world lay hidden the cancer of terrorism has no cure.  Only in a perfect world shall terrorism be gone.  The unseen enemy lingers throbbing in the shadows, beckoning at street corners pulling to unlock our doors.  Yet, shadows are enlighten, street corners in surveillance, doors fasten by security in a united force band of Americans alert on guard. Americans have stood together to fence our land and hold the key to permit dwellers entry.  Terrorists need not apply.

Since the 9/11 attack there is no turning back. 9/11 will always be locked in our memory.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

There are times when we re-examine the meaning of life and it usually takes a tragedy. September 11 was one of those times.

A new hero rose from the ashes at Ground Zero – the working class hero embodied and personified as the brave roster of Firemen, Police and rescue workers. On that 9/11 day we gave witness to acts of courage to surpass the deeds of legendary heroes.

We shall never forget.

THIS SEPTEMBER 11^TH DAY

Announce in the sky

The attackers fly

Flash of wrong

Bears evil along

Sense of coming ill

With an evil will

Exercise their powers

Upon the Twin Towers

Faith had denied

Glory stands aside

Towers falling burn

Scattered ashes urn

Spare us grief yet

Lest we never forget

Somber Ground Zero lay

This September 11th day

Newsday Letters: Lessons after 9/11

  Published September 11,2014

There are times when we re-examine the meaning of life, and it often takes a tragedy. Sept. 11, 2001, was one of those times.

A new hero rose from the ashes at Ground Zero -- the working class hero embodied and personified as the brave roster of firefighters, police officers and rescue workers. On 9/11, we witnessed acts of great courage.

Essentially, the working class heroes are the saviors of home and humanity, not the idle rich bourgeois or pretentious celebrity.

Show us a tragedy, show us a hero. We shall never forget; 9/11 is forever locked in our memories.

Susan and Robert Davniero, Lindenhurst

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

There are times when we re-examine the meaning of life and it usually takes a tragedy.  September 11, 2001 was one of those times.

A new hero rose from the ashes of Ground Zero – the working class hero; Firemen, Police and rescue workers. Essentially, working class heroes are the saviors of humanity; not the idle rich bourgeois or pretentious celebrity.

On that 9/11 day we gave witness to acts of courage to surpass the deeds of legendary heroes.  In most part the fictional surreal superheroes have quite suddenly been made real by the real everyday heroes walking amongst us who were always there yet never really seen.

Show me a tragedy – show me a hero.  Alas, the real 9/11 heroes never came home. We shall never forget.

In memory of September 11, 2001 - remember to hang your flag!

9/11 FOREVER

Published:  NY Daily News

The years may past yet 9/11 forever will be locked in our memory.  To revisit and break into memory of the somber September 11 day when pavements crumbled, dust clouds plowed our streets and the Twin Towers fell in death.  We shall never forget.

Essentially, Osama Bin Laden’s death brought home a renewed united patriotism, a light in the darkness as Americans unite in victory.  The terrorists did not win after all.  United we stand. This is a proud day for America.

Mission accomplished.

Susan Marie Davniero

PROUD DAY FOR AMERICA
Published NY Post

It’s a proud day for America.  The fictional surreal superheroes have quite suddenly been made real by U.S. Navy Seals heroic feat in the demise of Osama Bin Laden. For some period of time after news like this there are no other stories.

What is owed to the story are the lives of 9/11 victims and on this occasion to remember and memorialize the victims. For all intent purposes justice finally is serve for 9/11 victims. Judgment Day will be visited upon Bin Laden.

Apparently Americans are buoyed by the death reaching out to unite and feel the pulse of the nation’s embrace in celebration.  Normally you wouldn’t celebrate one’s death yet this is a new normal.

Perhaps Bin Laden’s death will bring about a peace momentarily and to pause into the violent world of terrorism. However, the enormity of terrorism is beyond Bin Laden.  Although there is satisfaction to the nature of 9/11 madness Al Qaeda still remains and we need to remain alert for retaliation.  

Today there is some closure to 9/11; yet, alas, the war on terrorism is never really over.
