County political parties plan to ban hydrofracking wastewater

by Laura Schofer

Dueling bills – one sponsored by theRepublican majority and a second by theDemocratic minority – have been intro-duced into the Nassau County Legislatureto prohibit the acceptance of hydrofrack-ing wastewater into county sewage treat-ment facilities, including Cedar Creek inSeaford, Bay Park in East Rockaway andthe Glen Cove plant.

The bills, both Proposed Local Law2012, seek to keep what both partiesdeem to be “toxic byproducts” frombeing brought into sewage plants.

The Republican bill states “ThisLegislature further finds that fracturingfluids are comprised of water and chem-ical additives, including but not limitedto biocides, surfactants, viscosity-modi-fiers and emulsifiers.”

The Democratic bill points to the pos-sibility of “known carcinogens” as abyproduct of hydrofracking.

“Hydrofracking,” or hydraulic frac-turing, is a new and controversialmethod of extracting fossil fuels out ofthe Earth by forcing water, chemicalsand sand into rock formations to breakthem up. This process releases naturalgas. Some fear that the wastewaterproduced by this process will containmany contaminants.

A recent state Department of

Environmental Conservation draftEnvironmental Impact Statement hasidentified four sewage plants inNassau County as potential recipientsof wastewater if hydrofracking beginsin Marcellus, New York (on the bor-der of Pennsylvania).

The four locations are the Inwoodsewage treatment plant, the Bay ParkSewage Treatment plant, the CedarCreek Water Pollution Control Plantand the Glen Cove WastewaterTreatment Facility.

The bills are essentially the same. TheDemocratic bill was sponsored byLegislators Dave Denenberg and DeliaDeRiggi-Whitton and filed onWednesday, March 21, said MikeFlorio, spokesperson for theDemocratic minority.

The Republican bill was sponsoredby Legislators Denise Ford, DennisDunne and Howard Kopel and filed onThursday, March 22, said CristinaBrennan, Majority press secretary.

Both bills also state that the countysewage facilities are “not capable of

efficient handling flowback,” says theDemocratic version of the bill.

“This Legislature further finds thattertiary wastewater treatment facili-ties treat water to remove nitrogen,phosphorous and carbons but do nottreat for all the chemicals in fractur-ing fluid and flowback water.” saysthe Republican bill.

Both bills also acknowledge that“Nassau County’s wastewater treatmentfacilities discharge treated water intowaterways, which feed into Long

Island’s sole source aquifer,” reads theRepublican bill.

“We are acting now on behalf of allNassau residents to say no to additionalwastewater in Nassau’s sewer system,”stated Legislator Ford, a member ofNassau’s Public Safety Committee andPlanning, Development and theEnvironment Committee.

“The county has invested millions inrepairing and upgrading the operationsof our plants,” noted Legislator Dunne.“In my opinion, it is unwise to considerthe acceptance of unknown contaminat-

ed waste in Nassau. Our taxpayersdeserve to have properly running plantsthat provide for a high quality of life,not to be dumped on by some upstatemoneymaker.”

“Given the county executive’sdesire to privatize our [sewage]plants, this ban is particularly impor-tant because a private operator is like-ly to process as much wastewater aspossible for as much money as possi-ble to the detriment of our environ-ment and our taxpayers,” respondedLegislator Denenberg.

Other municipalities in New York,including Buffalo, Kingston andAuburn, have set a policy not to acceptflowback wastewater and other waste-water created by hydraulic fracturing.

The proposed [Republican] bill wentbefore the Nassau County Legislature’sPlanning Committee, chaired byLegislator Norma Gonsalves of EastMeadow, then to the Rules Committee,chaired by Majority Leader PeterSchmitt [ranking Democratic memberis Kevan Abrahams], on Monday, saidMs. Brennan.

What about the Democratic version ofthe bill?

“The Majority has the power to callthe bills. Our bill may have been first,but their bill can be called first,” con-cluded Mr. Florio.

. . . either bill will keep toxic byproductsfrom our sewage systems . . .

Guest editorial:No one wants the mail to stop

excerpted from U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine)

Our Founding Fathers recognized the importance of having aPostal Service. Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution givesCongress the power to establish post offices.

The Postal Service is also required by law to provide, as nearlyas practicable, the “entire population of the United States” with“adequate and efficient postal services at fair and reasonablerates.” This is called the universal mandate and ensures that thePostal Service cannot leave rural states or small towns behind.

The Postal Service, which has delivered mail to generation aftergeneration of Americans, will not be able to make payroll some-time this fall, according to the Postmaster General himself.

In the past two years alone, the Postal Service has lost $13.6 bil-lion, and first-class mail volume has dropped 26 percent since2006.

No one wants the mail to stop later this year. That means that wemust pass a bill.

The U.S. Postal Service is the linchpin of a mailing industry thatemploys more than 8.5 million people and generates almost $1 tril-lion in economic activity every year. Virtually everyone – from bigretailers to small businesses to online shops – relies on the PostalService to deliver packages, advertise services and send out bills.The jobs of American in fields as diverse as direct mail, printing,catalog companies, and paper manufacturing all are linked to ahealthy Postal Service... The crisis facing the Postal Service is dire,but not hopeless. With the right tools and action from Congress,the Obama Administration, and the postal leadership, the PostalService can reform, right-size and modernize.

My colleagues, Senators [Joseph] Lieberman, [Tom] Carper,[Scott] Brown, and I have crafted legislation to update the PostalService’s business model and give it the tools it needs to surviveand succeed. We have introduced a bipartisan bill that will help thePostal Service reduce operating costs, modernize its businessmodel, and innovate to generate new revenue...

We worked hand in hand over a number of months with thePostmaster General to craft a bill that would save the PostalService money in a way that prioritized the lifeblood of the mail –mailers and the service around which business mailers have builttheir business models and around which individual customers havedeveloped their mailing habits.

Despite these negotiations, the Postmaster General has pushedahead with plans to abandon current mail service standards infavor of reduced access, slower delivery times, and higher prices,which will force many customers to pursue delivery alternatives.If those adjustments involve shifting to non-postal options in evena minority of cases – say 10 or 20 percent, the Postal Servicewould face an irreversible catastrophe. Once customers turn toother communication options and leave the mail system, theywon’t be coming back, and the Postal Service will be sucked intoa death spiral.

What do I mean when I say businesses will adjust their businessmodel? Companies large and small that rely on the mail tell me

that if service continues to deteriorate,they will conduct more businessonline and encourage their customersto switch to online services for bill-paying and other transactions.

Other businesses, such as smallnewspapers or pharmacy suppliers,have told me that they would seek non-postal delivery options, such as forlocal delivery and transport services.

Again, let’s assume only a smallfraction of businesses change theiroperations by shifting to these onlineor non-postal options – it could stillspell the end for the U.S. mail system.For every five percent drop in FirstClass Mail volume, the Postal Serviceloses $1.6 billion in revenue.

That’s why the downsizing of thelabor force and excess capacity thatthe Postmaster General states is socritical to saving the Postal Servicemust be carried out in a way that pre-serves service and does not inflictavoidable harm on these dedicatedworkers. Too many have assumed thatthis simply can’t be done.

But the fact is, there are manyoptions to cut costs and expand rev-enue while preserving service, suchas: reducing the size of processingplants without closing them, movingtiny post offices into local grocerystores, reforming an expensive andunfair workers’ compensation pro-gram, allowing the Postal Service toship wine and beer, refunding an over-payment into the federal retirementsystem, developing a new health planthat would greatly decrease the needto pre-fund future retirees’ benefits,and using buyouts to encourageemployees to retire.

The Postal Service will not be savedby a bare-bones approach that willrequire massive adjustments by itscustomers. Perhaps that might havemade sense in a time when customershad no other options, such as wouldhave been the case decades ago. Buttoday, the massive shift to online pub-

lications and commerce provides mostbusinesses alternatives to using themail. And a good portion of them willexplore and settle on those alternativesif the Postal Service makes it harderfor them to serve their customers.

Then there are the customers whosimply can’t adjust their business modeland could be forced out of business,taking the jobs they support with them.

Instead, the approach taken by ourpostal reform bill, the 21st CenturyPostal Service Act, would be to reduceexcess capacity in the Postal Servicewhile preserving service for cus-tomers. While our bill would not banthe closure of all postal facilities, itwould establish service standards andallowed for meaningful public com-ment procedures that would ensurethat delivery delays and impact oncustomers were mitigated.

The result would be that most facil-ities would remain open so as to pre-serve overnight delivery, Saturdaydelivery, and easy access to bulk pro-cessing for commercial mailers. Ourbill would still reduce the workforceand processing capacity at those facil-ities to match the volume coming in.

For example, rather than closing aplant that has excess capacity, our planwould allow a plant to downsize itslabor and volume capacity. This couldmean running one shift instead of two,or half a shift instead of a whole shift,using one sorting machine instead oftwo, using half the space and rentingout the rest, and so forth. That waythe plant still could process mail in theregion providing the same service itreceives today, while saving money.

Customers have to plan now forwhat they see coming. With all theseclosure announcements, customers arealready making contingency plans. Inthis way, the Postal Service hasalready triggered the hemorrhaging ofcustomers that our bill could preventif it were to become law...

FSD: Freeport teachers rejectcontract modification

The following is a press release issuedby the Freeport School District:

In a vote on Friday afternoon, theFreeport Teachers Association hasrejected a proposal to modify the exist-ing collective bargaining agreement.

As a result, the district is expected tohave to eliminate at least 20 teachingpositions, along with absorbing impactsto a broad array of student programs andservices, which could include changes toenrichment, class size, student activities,electives and conversion of full-daykindergarten to half-day, among others.

With several hundred ballots cast, thevote was narrowly defeated by a marginof 54%-46%.

The Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) developed between district lead-ers and the union specified a change inthe current collective bargaining agree-ment that called for a deferment of 1%of the 1.5% increase in salary for the2012-13 school year and deferment ofstep (teachers would still receive thesalary increase and step increase, but notin 2012-13).

In addition, a number of other minormodifications regarding personal timeand work hours favoring members of theunit were included in the MOU. Priordiscussions had focused on a completefreeze in salary and step in return forguarantees of no job loss, but this con-cept was rejected by union leadership.

“We are very disappointed in the out-come,” said [Freeport] Board ofEducation President Debra McQuillan.“Our community has a reasonable

expectation that students get the pro-grams and services they need. Broadlyspeaking, teachers were being asked todefer 1% of their salary to preserve pro-grams and the jobs of 20 of their col-leagues. Given the financial situation allschool districts face, it is only with thesupport of our teachers that we make itthrough this difficult time.”

The union president has indicated thatthe membership has spoken, and consid-ers the matter closed.

John Gross, the district’s attorney whoprovides labor relations advice and rep-resentation to the board and superin-tendent, indicated this proposal was typ-ical of many that are being considered inschool districts across the state.

“In fact, we are seeing unions and dis-tricts agreeing to contract modificationsin many other districts that are not defer-ments, as in this case, but new agree-ments that are lowering costs in order topreserve jobs and student programs andservices,” he said. “It is quite unusual tosee rejection of an MOU that is, on bal-ance, exceedingly fair to both parties.”

All administrators in the district,including the superintendent, havealready agreed to a 0% increase for the2012-13 school year. “The administra-tors recognize the gravity of the situa-tion,” said Dr. Kishore Kuncham, super-intendent of schools.

“And by the closeness of the vote, Ithink it is fair to assume that manyteachers do as well. We are sorry wehave to relay this outcome to our com-munity.”

The Spanish Inquisition redux?It was with considerable shock and a

sense of disbelief that I watched the vil-lage board meeting of February 15. It wasnothing short of being a grotesque dog andpony show – an obvious, transparent, andpoorly orchestrated attack on village offi-cials in an attempt to demean, debase,revile and humiliate.

Why? Simply, it is politics at its mostbase and crude level. It is the same type ofnonsense that is occurring on the nationallevel – our country being demeaned in theworld’s eyes by the persistent attacks onPresident Obama’s citizenship and hisfaith by questionable individuals andfanatical groups.

It is a thinly veiled attempt to underminehis credibility and the effectiveness of hisadministration through cowardly, ground-less ad hominem attacks. Whether you area supporter or critic of President Obama,the allegations against his character andperson are over the top – at best disre-spectful of the man and office and at worstdownright repulsive. How far we havefallen? We can and must do better.

Few question the fact that in a demo-cratic society, it is constructive and evenessential to rigorously question and whennecessary express opposition to policiesand decisions that you feel are either ill-considered or essentially wrong. But thereis a process and style for accomplishingthat end without looking like a bigot orfoolish.

Yet, in our village we seem willing topermit this travesty to go on – the admin-istration appearing tolerant of the endlesslitany of allegations and assumptions thatflow without any restraint imposed on thelips of the various presenters.

Why? First of all, be clear that this has

nothing to do with freedom of speech. Atits discretion, the administration has theauthority to impose reasonable structureupon meetings – in length, content, andmanner of expression.

So why have they elected to turn theirheads to the systematic humiliation of ourelected officials. Let’s face the fact that fartoo many of the commentaries at the podi-um are vindictive – and some openlysadistic in nature and should not be per-mitted. They are designed to humiliate,that is – they are purposely hurtful.

In my opinion, we are not witnessing apublic discourse, wherein citizens rightful-ly and dutifully present their concerns andneeds to their elected officials. Rather, it isan inquisition – not unlike that of the infa-mous Spanish Inquisition. Certain resi-dents coming to the podium are not askinggermane questions, reciting facts or mak-ing helpful commentaries; rather, they areInquisitors.

Their style is not one of reasonablyquestioning – rather they savagely interro-gate our elected officials, as if they weregiven a holy charge from God to root outevil and disclose heretics. When will wesee burnings at the stake?

This is balderdash! What we are wit-nessing is political theater at its worst,designed to pay back for old elections andto influence future elections.

Comically, the meeting wandered instyle and substance from the aforemen-tioned inquisition to some type of ersatzrevival meeting replete with hallelujahs,then to a 2012 version of Woodstock –minus Bob Dylan, and finally to just apure outpouring of vitriol and hate.

How sad. What happened to dignity and self

regard? What happened to our self-respectas a community?

Without question, I had some signifi-cant disagreements with the previousadministration and on a number of occa-sions expressed them both publicly andprivately. But I am tired of hearing aboutthe imagined or real shortcomings and/orsins of the Glacken Administration. Theyare the past and there is little we can doabout it.

If there were criminal wrongdoings, itshould be brought to the attention of theattorney general’s office and left for theirinvestigation.

Any good therapist will tell you thatcontinually focusing upon the past is aconvenient way of avoiding dealing withthe frightening problems of the present. Itis far easier and more comfortable to focusupon what the previous administration didnot do then to confront what the presentadministration has not done but should doto move Freeport ahead.

Be aware that the more you attack thepast administration, the more you makethe present administration look suspicious.There comes a time to focus on the presentand of course the future, as that is whereour lives as Freeporters will be shaped.

And please, would our elected officialsand some members of the public stop sum-moning up an image of God and the flag.These types of dramatics are not necessaryand appear artificial.

Many Freeporters served honorably inthe military and as many or more possessa deep abiding faith in God. In my opin-ion, it would be better to keep that person-al or at least out of public/governmentmeetings – reserving it for expression withour families, in our daily conduct, and

within our religious institutions of choice. In my opinion, using patriotism or a

belief in God as a vehicle to advance apolitical agenda or batter another individ-ual is distasteful and disrespectful to thosevery notions of God and patriotism. Wehave all witnessed how incredibly divisiveand polarizing it has proven to be on thenational political scene. Must we emulatethat foolishness and in doing such –destroy the fabric of this community?

Almost a decade ago, while on theBoard of Education, a colleague remindedme that there was a time in Freeport’s notso distant past when we were a segregatedcommunity. Feeling anxious and defen-sive, I was quick to refute my colleague’sallegation as a misperception.

But I felt the necessity to reflect on thisrather unnerving thought to see if it hadmerit. My colleague was correct. Therewas a time when this community was qui-etly segregated.

Fortunately, we have come well pastthat reality and now take pride in what welike to consider a diverse, multi-cultural,and multi-ethnic community.

But we must be cautious, as this situa-tion is fragile and can be disrupted, severe-ly damaged or destroyed by imprudentmissteps and insensitive, ill-conceivedcommentary.

If the situation reaches a deafeningcrescendo, good people of all colors andethnicities will say “enough” and exit ourcommunity. Then we are left with a lessthan desirable situation. I fear we are onthat path – I cherish the wish that I amwrong.

he Leader

by Douglas Finlay

Many of Long Island’s best comedians,who developed their comedy routinesduring the burgeoning Long Island com-edy club scene from the mid-1980s to2000, will gather at the Bellmore MoviesLiveStage on Sunday, April 1, to pay aspecial fundraising tribute to ventrilo-quist Vince Dantona, who died recentlyat age 62.

He is being remembered as among themost elegant and loved of all Long Islandcomedians for his warmth of spirit, gen-tleness and generosity. All proceeds willgo to his family.

“These comedians paying tribute toVince all came up with him during theexplosive growth of the Long Islandcomedy club scene during the mid-80s,”remarked Rick Morgan, organizer of thetribute, promoter and longtime closefriend of Mr. Dantona.

And all on the bill are confident play-ers who now perform nationally on TVand stage, in cruises, clubs, theaters, forcorporations and private halls – and are“funny as hell,” he added.

Mr. Dantona’s talent as a ventriloquist,his humaneness, and his kindness andgenerosity came through repeatedly fromthe words of many friends who will be atthe fundraiser – and who shared the stagewith him.

“One time he was performing at aclub and an inebriated woman becameoffended at something George [Vince’spuppet] said,” remarked comedian andclose friend Al Isaacs. “So the womangets up and throws a drink in George’sface. Vince quickly asks the lady,‘Ma’am, what are you doing?’ The ladyshoots back to Vince: ‘You stay out ofthis!’ ”

“That’s the best compliment to hear,”said fellow ventriloquist Peter Michaels.Mr. Michaels vividly remembers stop-ping by a club one night after he had fin-ished performing to see Mr. Dantona per-form with George.

“At some point in the show the stringbreaks that works George’s mouth, soVince eyes me in the audience and says tothem – by moving George’s lips with hishands – that he’s going to do a ‘little sur-gery’ and be right back,” Mr. Michaelsrecalls.

“So the two of us get to work behindstage and I fashion a coat hanger-type ofmechanism that will allow Vince to move

George’s mouth, he added. “Vince goes back out and the first thing

George does is turn to Vince and say tohim, ‘What’s the matter with you? Youdon’t even know how to fix a string, youlittle s---?’ ”

“Watching Vince work with Georgeon stage was just magnifi-cent,” said comedian ChillyMost, who shared billingswith Mr. Dantona. “Hemade George feel so real,he connected with his audi-ence, George’s eyes mov-ing side-to-side.”

Comedian Maria Walshsaid that when she first start-ed working with him, Vincewould bring in his suitcase,with George in it. “Georgewould start speaking fromthe suitcase,” she recallsone time, “askingVince ‘who’s there?’ ”

When George wastaken out of the suit-case, he looked at Ms.Walsh and said: ‘Oh,she’s just my size,’ andthen, ‘Would you liketo get in my suitcase?’”

“George was asweet little wise guy,”added fellow ventrilo-quist Ken Warren.

He could carry a showVentriloquist Greg Paparklis remem-

bers Mr. Dantona as a generous man, anda ventriloquist who could make an entirecomedy routine work with just George. “It’s amazing that he could carry a showwith just one puppet,” he said, “becausemultiple puppets [characters] help tochange and shape material throughout ashow.”

Each puppet, he offered, “is its ownact” in which the ventriloquist can offerso much more material. “I was impressedwith what he could accomplish as a ven-triloquist with just one puppet.”

“George was Vince to the nth degree,”remarked Mr. Michaels, “warm, nevermean spirited.” Sometimes, Mr. Michaelsadded, “Puppets are the best part of us[ventriloquists].”

Mr. Warren, like Mr. Paparklis, wasoften the generous recipient of a showMr. Dantona couldn’t make.

“I didn’t mind if they called my puppet

George instead of Leroy,” said Mr.Warren whenever he substituted forVince and George, who had top billing.“It was just a great feeling that Vincecared about you to give you a gig. It’sunusual for comedians to do this sort ofexchange because of all the competition

that’s around,” he contin-ued.

What capped the deal forthose who received suchreferences was that Mr.Dantona would also write acheck for them immediate-ly, said Mr. Warren.

A classy ventriloquist“When I first met my wife

and brought her with me toa gig I was sharing withVince, she didn’t like ven-triloquists,” said Mr. Isaacs.

“She was afraid ofthem [perhaps fromthose “TwilightZone” and “Chucky”episodes?] but sheloved George and sheloved Vince.”

Mr. Dantona, hesaid, “embodied thetrue entertainer. Itdidn’t matter whatcrowd he enter-tained, he was thec o n s u m -

mate entertainer.”Close friend and comedian

John Rizzo called Mr. Dantona“A special kind of guy. He wascheerful, optimistic, upbeat,just a very cool cat” who never“dished dirt on anyone.” In thecomedy business, he said, thatwas a major accomplishment.

Mr. Rizzo recalled Mr.Dantona driving up toConnecticut, where Mr. Rizzolives, to attend his mother’sfuneral. “It was an honor to bea friend of his.”

Comedian Paul Bond toldthis newspaper that during aroast given in Mr. Dantona’shonor a few years ago at acomedy club, he got atten-tion (don’t all comedianswant it?) by dressing up asGeorge, putting on the hat,the clothes and likeness ofGeorge, got on stage andplayed George as he wouldbe...40 years from now!

John Blenn, a NorthBellmore playwright who wasan entertainment reporter for30 years, said Mr. Dantonawas born to be an entertainer,and entertainment was his firstlove. “He had a kind word foreveryone he met. And he wasa clean ventriloquist!” he con-cluded.

“Vince was one of thepurest guys on the comedycircuit because he encour-aged everyone, and wasloved for it,” remarked comedian CarieKaravas.” Comedian Palma Florentinoexplained that “No matter what wenton in the environment around him, healways took from it the good, and heapplied it to his comedy.”

“Vince,” added Ms. Karavas, “has beentaken from everyone’s lives far tooearly.” “Even George looked sad at the

wake,” said Ms. Walsh. “George was speechless,” said comedi-

an Randy Levin.

More diverse comedy landscapeMany comedians who will be on stage

on April 1 “cut their teeth” in the LongIsland comedy clubs starting in the mid-1980s, when comedy was in full swingand the laughs flowed from club to clubon a regular basis.

Club owners such as Rich (East SideComedy) and Chuck (Chuckles)Minervini, Jimmy Finn (Governor’s),John Ryerson (McGuire’s) and GarySmith (The Brokerage in Bellmore)helped nurture their talents and sharedthem freely among the clubs, with littlerestraint about when they could playother clubs.

But with the advent of comedy on TV,for example, and earlier economic reces-sions, clubs experienced a substantialslowdown, and many such as Chucklesand East Side Comedy closed becausecomedy revelers, with no money, couldstay home and watch comedy on TV.

The comedians playing tribute to Mr.Dantona have expanded their repertory toinclude TV (HBO, Showtime, ComedyCentral), cruise ships, corporate and pri-vate parties, and clubs outside the LongIsland and New York areas, as well aslarge comedy shows in larger halls suchas NYCB Theatre in Westbury and

Bellmore Movies LiveStage.Some can still be found on

Long Island starring in theLong Island Comedy Festivaland Long Island’s Comedy-To-Go, and at firehouses, bookstores, restaurants and schools.Dan Dantona told this newspa-

per his dad had just received athird night’s billing at Caesar’sPalace in the Poconos, andwould be working there threenights a week. “He thought he might be able torelax a little now, spend somemore time with his family.”The night before he died, Mr.

Dantona had just “torn thedoors off” The ClemenceCenter, a large venue inupstate Elmira, according togood friend and comedianChris Roach.

Mr. Dantona would havebeen pleased at his latest for-tunes. “It’s as though I’mhalf-expecting him to giveme a call at any time now,”said Mr. Morgan, who pro-moted Mr. Dantona.

But, concluded a wistfulChilly Most, “Vince is nowon the road once again withus all...sharin’ the love.”

The comedy tribute extrava-ganza to Vince Dantona isbeing produced jointly byRick Morgan and by GarySmith ofNYEntertainmentClub.com.Tickets are $20 in advance,

$30 at the door. For tickets call 785-4234 or 631-

654-0507, or you can visitdantona.eventbrite.com, and nyenter-tainmentclub.com. Or call theBellmore Movies at 783-3199.

Friends to pay tribute to a great American comic heroBellmore Movies LiveStage plays host to Long Island’s best comedians in fundraiser

Vince Dantona and George

A Purple Heart war heroVincent Dantona was born in Brooklyn and in 1968, at age 18, joined the Marines, ship-

ping off to Vietnam to fight the Communist insurgency mounting there.“My dad was a tunnel rat,” explained son Dan Dantona. He said his dad would be

lowered head first into small holes acting as entranceways to a tunnel and, with a gun,crawled around in tightly confined spaces. “He never really talked about what he diddown there,” Dan continued. He was also a point man seeking out enemy soldiers toradio back to his platoon. “He was sometimes caught in firefights between the enemyand American soldiers,” said Mr. Morgan. “He was a heck of a soldier.”

But Dan conveyed to this newspaper that “my father eventually went anotherroute.” Perhaps after all he’d seen, he consciously transformed his life into one ded-icated to making people happy. “His dummy was hand-carved from a friend inVietnam,” Dan continued. “His friend’s name was George.” Dan thought he heardfrom someone in the family that George had been killed in action.

“But I never saw dad yell at anyone, or get mad or get moody over any situation.He never complained.” Instead, he said dad would walk around the house and playpractical jokes on everyone.

“Vince exuded a paradox,” said comedian Randy Levin. “He used to play tochildren and was the warmest of people, but he also crawled around in enemytunnels 40 years ago.”

Comedian and friend Dan Rebecca will blow taps for Mr. Dantona at the tribute.“For me not to honor him would be wrong.”
