(Continued from page 3) “This is wonderful and I promise that we will use this to improve the site and sustain it to the point that it will be maintenance free,” said Ascoli whose daughter Debra M annetta was killed on 9/11. “We want to make it last forever so we can honor our loved ones.” Ascoli is the Babylon 9/11 Memorial facility c o ordinator and works with other families and volun teers in maintaining the site. The Town’s memorial was planned by the families of Babylon residents who were killed in the terror ist attacks, Babylon Town Supervisor Steve Bellone reminded residents. He called it one of the most beautiful 9//11 memorials in the country. “It is that way because it was created by the fami lies through a long and sometim es difficult and painful process,” he said. “But out of that process cam e something that is truly fitting and a lasting memorial to those special people from our com munity who were lost that day.” Star Fight Prom otions undertook the project of organizing the fundraiser when Laura’s husband, Neil, learned that one of his students, Jenny Ne- dell, lost her father, Laurence on 9/11. The Nedell’s lived in Lindenhurst, and Laura and Neil joined Jenny and her family at services at the memorial one year. “It was just beautiful and we decided we wanted to do something for the families,” said Laura. Twenty-eight kickboxers from clubs throughout the Tri-State area participated in the event, held in late summer. “This was also a wonderful opportunity for peo ple from outside of the town to get to see the Town’s beautiful memorial,” said Laura. “And we encour aged them to do so.” In other Town business: •approved the Town’s budget for the coming year. The new fiscal plan is expected to reduce the total real property tax for the town by 5 percent, passing along a minimum total tax reduction of $3.5 mil lion. The new spending plan calls for $140 million in spending with the general fund expected to go from $44.7 to $45.7 million in 2011. That would result in an average tax increase of $40 per home for 2011. Offsetting that increase, however, is an estimated savings on homes of approximately $100 a year for garbage district taxes. •set a public hearing for Dec. 8, to add penalties to the town code for those who enter a building or structure that has been deemed unsafe, unlawful or not fit for human occupancy; •confirmed Robert Scarangella, Matthew Can ning, Thomas J.
