Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District administration building Sewanhaka Central High School District officials are weighing a request from some Elmont parents to remove Bellmore-Merrick from the high school's sports schedule after years of complaints about racial harassment at games The topic is expected to come up at the next meeting of the Sewanhaka school board March 25 at Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park Sewanhaka schools Superintendent Regina Agrusa in a statement Tuesday acknowledged the parents' concerns but said “the district is also aware that many Elmont parents and student-athletes wish to continue these games the district is carefully reviewing all options in the best interest of our student-athletes before making any formal recommendations about the future game schedule.” The parents’ request came after an incident during a girls varsity basketball game in Bellmore last month when two players from opposing teams tussled over the ball the governing body for school sports in Nassau County However, some Elmont parents said in interviews with Newsday that it followed numerous games at which their children have been subjected to racist behavior The Sewanhaka district includes five high schools in Elmont The Bellmore-Merrick district includes three high schools in Bellmore and Merrick Its high schools’ population ranges from 3% to 4% Black Bellmore-Merrick school leaders and athletic officials say a limited number of spectators have engaged in racist behavior in recent years and they have been removed from the stands and disciplined whenever officials became aware of the conduct superintendent of the Bellmore-Merrick district said in a statement that the district has “extended our deepest apologies and held ourselves accountable for unfortunate behaviors that have occurred in the past with Elmont Memorial High School.” “We continue to have ongoing conversations with the Sewanhaka Central High School District and Section VIII and remain committed to fostering an environment that is supportive and respectful of all.” president of the Elmont PTSA Dad’s Club and father of three Elmont Memorial graduates “We can't just keep putting our kids at risk Why not get ahead of this before something major happens and then we’ve got YouTube videos showing a melee?” Johnson said numerous parents spoke at a public meeting with district and athletic officials this month asking for Bellmore-Merrick to be removed from Elmont teams’ schedule this fall “There’s nothing else that we have identified at this time as being a fix … The other measures we’ve attempted haven’t worked," he said The recent incident that prompted calls to remove Bellmore-Merrick from Elmont's sports schedule “had nothing to do with race,” said Patrick Pizzarelli executive director of Section VIII Athletics An Elmont player who is Black was removed and suspended for two future games after a dispute with a white player from Bellmore A video later showed that the Bellmore player hit the Elmont player and either pulled her hair or got tangled in it after which the Elmont player punched back the Elmont player’s suspension was lifted after one game and the Bellmore-Merrick district suspended its own player for two games Two earlier incidents in 2021 and 2023 “were racial and we have zero tolerance for any of that stuff,” Pizzarelli said both by the Bellmore-Merrick school district and Section VIII.” Not all parents support the request for a break from games with Bellmore-Merrick school officials should “find the culprit and suspend them” or impose another penalty whose son has played basketball for three years at Elmont and whose two daughters also played sports for the school “It's not everybody that is responsible for those actions.” But some Elmont parents said there has been a pattern for years of racial harassment by Bellmore-Merrick community members many of which don’t get reported because the players don’t want to risk their shot at college scholarships “They tell their parents but they don’t tell the officials,” said Sheldon Meikle board member of the Elmont Spartan Club booster organization and former member of the Elmont Union Free School District’s school board immediate past president of the Elmont High School PTSA and a trustee on the Elmont board of education said parents “want to see meaningful impact Some Elmont parents want to remove Bellmore-Merrick from the high school's sports schedule The request was prompted by the suspension of an Elmont girls varsity basketball player after a

a decade ago in Bellmore a new restaurant is ready to take over the space as a proof of concept for future franchisees "Roberto Chang" offers modern Latin and Asian street food It's the first restaurant for businessman Paul Cicchetti of Port Washington although he tested "Roberto Chang" at Westbury's Samanea Mall during COVID We don't have dishes," Cicchetti told Patch What they will have is easy-to-eat foods while on the move As for why he selected the long-dormant spot on Merrick Road Cicchetti said the community is primed for his unique menu There's all kinds of businesses there," he said Perhaps the most important business there is next-door neighbor Brokerage Comedy Club and owner James Dolce Cicchetti hopes to get plenty of foot traffic throughout the day They plan to have hours of operation from 7:30 a.m You'll also find a dessert menu and more than a dozen coffee bar choices "It's stuff you can't get everywhere," Cicchetti said who is excited about the "Roberto Chang" product "This is going to be our pilot location to see how it works," he said Cicchetti is already anticipating the proliferation of "Roberto Chang." He expects a clearer picture of the restaurant's future within eight months "All our food comes in prepared off-site." The uniqueness of "Roberto Chang" goes beyond the food you're going to be engrossed in a music video," he said "You're not going to pay so much attention to the time anymore." If the health department signs off this week Cicchetti will have "Roberto Chang" ready to open on Monday for a soft launch Roberto Chang owner Paul Cicchetti hopes diners come for the adventerous and healthier food — and just maybe a couple will feel inspired to open their own franchise explained that he came up with the concept for his Latin and Asian modern street food restaurant in Bellmore about seven years ago.  “‘Roberto Chang’ started as a man from the Bronx and would play music while selling his cuisine on street corners,” said Cicchetti before hosting a grand opening event in March.  Don’t expect to see Roberto Chang hanging out at the restaurant Cicchetti noted that Chang is “a fictitious character was to create a Latin and Asian story that delivered equal focus on both cuisines While the Roberto Chang story may be made up the concept is loosely based on some of Cicchetti’s life experiences growing up in New York research points to both Latin and Asian populations as being among the fastest-growing demographics in the country Roberto Chang‘s interior is replete with murals of urban street scenes coupled with vibrant urban music pumping on TVs and over the sound system “Look at the counter and it looks like a guy setting up a street food business … a grassroots idea,” Cicchetti said “Taking a dream and turning it into reality.”  A large part of the concept at Roberto Chang is an emphasis on healthier eating healthy food products,” said the owner noting that seed oils are not used in the kitchen Cicchetti opined that “Seed oils … especially when heated … become toxic.”  The question of whether seed oils are bad for you is a debatable topic with the Cleveland Clinic noting that the relationship of seed oils and health involves a complex mix of factors including what products the oils are used in and whether or not the oils are being heated at very high temperatures Roberto Chang uses commercial-grade air fryer units to prepare many grab-and-go menu items Greater Long Island sampled a chicken empanada already involved with several construction businesses sees himself as more of an entrepreneur than a restaurateur He said one of the main reasons for starting Roberto Chang was to provide young people with an affordable franchise business idea “We want to be a healthier type of food franchise that provides opportunities for young people,” Cicchetti said adding he already has identified some potential franchisees He said he believes franchises are notoriously expensive and for the most part Most franchises want prospective owners to have about $1 million in liquid cash assets to get involved Cicchetti explained that his business model is one that doesn’t require much space and is very affordable. When asked how affordable he said entry into his franchise can be had from an investment of $50,000 to $100,000.  who credits his bus driver father for his work ethic considers Roberto Chang a “restaurant of the future.” “I’m not in the restaurant business I’m in the franchise business and we sell food,” he said adding that he decided to embark on this venture now, “Because I’m an entrepreneur and I see opportunity I was also a young person who became an entrepreneur “What drives me is the potential opportunity of some high profile franchises such as Subway Raising Cane’s and Hunt Brother’s pizza,” franchising success stories worth billions of dollars.   Cicchetti’s current goals are twofold: provide people with some healthier fast-food alternatives and also help young entrepreneurs.  “I want to get this (Roberto
