By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

Republican incumbent Legislator Howard Kopel and Democratic candidate Adam Moser were the subjects of a “spirited discussion” at a meeting of the Lawrence Association on Wednesday evening. The two candidates for Nassau County Seventh District Legislator were asked a host of questions on local issues including the Lawrence water quality problems, Rockaway Turnpike traffic and rising taxes. Both candidates agreed that the Lawrence wa-

The Nassau County Legislature released a review of the 2012 budget that may be approved next week that included a plan to reorganize and consolidate two of the county’s eight police precincts in a move that could save the county about $15 million. The precincts that would be closed were not presented in the available version of the budget, but the plan calls for a reorganization of the current precinct districts which were laid out in 1972.

Standard Staff Reporter

The Town-Village Aircraft Safety and Noise Abatement Committee held its monthly meeting in front of a larger than usual and untamed crowd mixed with flight officials, government representatives and upset local residents at Lawrence High School on Monday evening. A large contingent of roughly twenty representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PA), Aviation Development Council and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) were on hand to an-

members, many local residents continued to echo the complaints of their neighbors from previous months about the lev-

el of noise from aircraft flying overhead into and out of JFK. “I suggest to you that during certain hours, Long Island become a no-fly zone,” said Kurt Langjahr, a representative for New Hyde Park. “It would allow our residents to get some rest.” The crowd applauded his idea, but FAA official Jeff Clarke shot down the idea immediately.

District 14 Schools Adding More Teaching Assistants By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

The Hewlett School Board announced the addition of four half-time teaching assistants at Hewlett Elementary and three half-time teaching assistants at the Franklin Early Childhood Center this past Thursday at this month’s meeting. At last month’s Hewlett School Board meeting, parents were up in arms about large class sizes throughout the district, and parents still remain skeptical of this new plan. “Eight years ago, my now 12th grader was in 4th grade and had 18 other kids in his class,” Jackie May of Hewlett said. “This year, my fourth grader has 24 children in her class, which I know is below the limit, but not where I think Hewlett should be. We’ve brought ourselves to being just standard and making class sizes as high as they can go. Children are getting lost and they aren’t get-
