Are You Ready For The Suburbs?

Because they never looked better than today.

It’s all about teaching your children teamwork and dedication:

Two brothers who owned an infamous, mobbed-up Long Island restaurant savagely beat a Little League coach after he benched one of their sons for spewing an obscenity at practice, police said yesterday.

The coach, whose name the police are withholding, had an “ongoing problem” with the 11-year-old boy being disruptive during practices of the Bellmore Lightning team on Tuesday night, said Nassau County Police Sgt. Anthony Repalone.

When he tried to discipline the kid, the boy told the 45-year-old coach to “go f- – – yourself,” said Repalone. The coach then benched the child.

The boy called his father, Frank Basile, 48, of Bellmore, owner of the formerly mobbed-up fish-and-chips eatery Hudson & McCoy in Freeport.

Repalone said Basile, along with his brother Roger, 43, rushed over to the baseball field, screaming and cursing “in a fit of rage.” The coach spotted the two men heading toward him and told the kids to move away.

That was when Frank Basile “immediately punches him, rendering him semiconscious. He and his brother start pummeling and kicking” the victim, Repalone said.

But of course, boys will be boys:

A pair of nooses — including one around the neck of a tar-painted doll — were found hanging from a forklift truck on Long Island yesterday afternoon at the Town of Hempstead highway yard in Roosevelt.

The find was the latest in a recent rash of noose hangings that have fanned painful memories of segregation-era lynchings of blacks in the deep South.

But you should rest assured that the super-scary super-drug-resistant staph infection moving across the nation hasn’t come anywhere near the city . . . until now:

At least one Weston [Connecticut] HS student has been diagnosed with a potentially deadly antibiotic-resistant staph infection.

School officials sent a letter home to parents informing them that one case of the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus infection, or MRSA, has been confirmed at the school. Health officials are waiting for results of tests on another student.
