iDA says job growth data was wrong

A G i A n t F e At

Economic development agency to submit revised numbers: chief

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO The head of Nassau County’s Industrial Development Agency on Tuesday said he plans to resubmit job growth data from 2013 to the state comptroller’s office, citing inaccuracies in figures published in a statewide audit last month.

“When I do have it, I will submit it to the state comptroller,” said Joseph Kearney, the Nassau IDA’s executive director. “I don’t have any more to say about this.

There’s nothing more to be said about this.”

According to the state comptroller’s May 18 report, the Nassau IDA in 2013 netted fewer jobs (1,835) than agencies in neighboring Suffolk (14,080) and Westchester (7,982) counties, despite granting more ($43,325,571) in net tax exemptions — tax exemptions minus payments in lieu of taxes — on its 278 projects.

In an interview with Newsday last week, Kearney argued the Nassau IDA’s statistics that year were an “anomaly” due to a filing error in which he said 6,000 jobs the agency was credited with creating or retaining were removed from a ledger.

He told Blank Slate Media Tuesday that some of the data, which the state’s 109 industrial development agencies self-report to Albany, may have also been mishandled by the state comptroller’s office in compiling the report.

“What happens when [the data] gets up there, I don’t know,” Kearney said. “If there were inaccuracies to the data, they will be corrected.”

When asked whether he thought data the IDA submitted to Albany for the state comptroller’s office’s 2013 report was inaccurate, Kearney replied: “I wouldn’t be resubmitting things if I didn’t Continued on Page 50

Munsey water tower N. Hills officials work to start July 1 win re-election Residents, officials outraged during M-LWD hearing Each gets new four-year term

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO

By Ja m es G allo w ay

Construction to replace a Manhasset-Lakeville Water District-owned water tower in the Village of Munsey Park will begin July 1 and cost about $2.3 million more than initially expected, officials said.

The now-$5.5 million project will be broken down into seven phases, with all work expected to be completed by early 2017, officials said.

During an informal hearing on the project Tuesday, engineers from the Melville-based H2M Architects + Engineers and construction officials from the Louisville, Ky.-based Caldwell & Walsh Building Construction Inc described the timeline to build a new 750,000-gallon tank and deconstruct the present 500,000-gallon tank at its site near Eakins Road, on Munsey Park’s border with the Village of Flower Hill.

“This type of work does not involve stuff like cutting down a tree where the tree is going to fall over,” said Paul Granger, H2M’s deputy water market leader. “This is done very carefully, very methodically with experienced demolition contractors who actually remove the tank piece by piece, so there’s not going to be any use of explosives or cutting.”

Work will take place between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and is expected to continue during the winter months.

Though officials said trucks transporting deliveries and workers will make frequent trips onto and off the site, only daytime deliveries would take place and parking would only be permitted on the water district’s three-acre parcel.

Four North Hills officials, including Mayor Marvin Natiss, were unanimously re-elected to four-year terms Tuesday in uncontested races.

Natiss received 236 votes, Trustees Dennis Sgambati and Gail Cohen received 232 votes and Village Justice Sigmund Semon received 236 votes. No write in candidates received any votes.

“I’m very happy,” said Natiss, who was re-elected to a fourth term. “I’m very gratified, and in an uncontested election, to have 236 people come out and show support, it’s gratifying.”

All four incumbents ran a joint campaign as members of the Homeowners Party.

“For the uncontested election, I would have to say that I’m extremely pleased with approximately 200 people that were voting in the election,” Sgambati said. “I’d like to than all the communities in the Village of North Hills for supporting myself and the Homeowners Party, and I will do my best in getting things accomplished over the next four years.”

A proposed project would replace the 85-year-old ManhassetLakeville Water District tower located in Munsey Park.

Residents in attendance said Tuesday’s presentation did not adequately cover how traffic would operate through the neighborhood or detail safety precautions for residences surrounding the work site.

“Now I’m going to have something a lot larger and a lot heavier up there. We all know what’s going on in the city with cranes that have not been properly secured,” said Roseanne Harvey, whose home is located directly behind the water district’s site.

“That thing gets loose,” she added, “that’s the end of my house, [Munsey Park Deputy Mayor] Mr. [John] Lippmann’s house and anybody’s house who’s right on the rim.”

Caldwell officials said the style of the proposed tower,

Sgambati and Natiss said they hope to oversee the completion of large construction projects in the village, including the Ritz-Carlton Residences and the proposed 46-home development on the former grounds of the St. Ignatius Retreat House off Searingtown Road.

“There are a lot of things going on now, and we want to finish them off and ensure they’re completed to the residents’ satisfaction,” Natiss said.

Both Natiss and Sgambati said they would like to continue the shuttle service from Village Hall to the Manhasset train station and to keep taxes low.

Natiss has said North Hills has the lowest tax rate of the 64 villages in Nassau County.

“We’ve kept the village taxes low. We’ve stayed on budget; no elected officials have seen any increases, no appointed officials have seen any increases,” Natiss said in May. “We try to run a tight ship, and that’s how the village tax stays low.”

Sgambati said he would also like to continue to work closely with the village’s emergency management program in place at Village Hall.

Caldwell has constructed more than 1,000 elevated water storage tanks in the last decade, and more than 40 in the tri-state area.

The 165-foot-tall Munsey Park water tower was constructed in 1929 and is one of the district’s two elevated water tanks that distributes water across Manhasset-Lakeville’s 10.2 square miles across Manhasset and parts of Great Neck and New Hyde Park.

Activists, pols rally for trans rights March, demonstration held outside Nassau County Legislature Sunday in Mineola

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO Avery Brogan will soon turn 18 years old and head off to college on scholarship this fall, but there’s something he says he’d rather not worry about when he leaves.

Born female but identifying as male, Brogan has been active with the Huntington Station-based Long Island Transgender Advocacy Coalition, pushing for legislation in Nassau County and New York State to recognize the rights of trans and non-gender-identifying individuals.

“I want to be able to achieve in life and I don’t want my anatomy to get in the way of that,” Brogan told a few dozen activists and supporters who rallied Sunday on the steps of the Nassau County Legislature.

Demonstrators marched from East Garden City to the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building, holding signs and chanting, “Wake up Nassau,” in urging county lawmakers to amend its human rights laws to cover the transgender community.

“It’s time to wake up to the 21st century,” said Juli Grey-Owens, the coalition’s executive director, in a

Several activists and elected officials, including Nassau County legislators Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury), Laura Curran (D-Baldwin) and Carrie Solages (D-Elmont),

spoke during the rally, as did a representative for state Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages (D-Elmont), who has co-sponsored amended anti-bias legislation at the state level to include the transgender community.

Provisions protecting transgender individuals exist in Suffolk

County and New York City, and in early June the an amendment to the Town of North Hempstead’s non-discrimination laws received bipartisan support from the town council.

“The next morning, guess what? North Hempstead was still standing,” Jacobs said.

In an e-mailed statement Monday, Nassau County Legislative Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves (REast Meadow) said: “The Nassau County Human Rights Law already clearly and unequivocally provides the protection that the Transgender community seeks.”

Jacobs, who contributed to writing the county’s current human rights laws, admitted she initially thought the transgender community was protected by the county but said she has submitted an amended portion to the Republican-controlled Legislature for five straight years, to no avail.

“I won’t give up,” Jacobs said.

“I can’t give up.”

Trans activist and World War II veteran Joanne Borden called for Republican leaders in the county and state to “practice what they preach,” referring to a party platform she said is meant to protect human rights and support personal freedom.

“Let’s tell them to stop hiding the inhumanity and masking the unAmericanism of their position,” she said. “Let’s tell them, when you give your word, swear to, preach and pledge your honor, mean it.”

Bierwirth’s tenure with Herricks nears end

By Ja m es G allo w ay Herricks Superintendent John Bierwirth’s storied career as one of the state’s most renowned and respected superintendents comes to a close next month.

Bierwirth, who has served in the top-spot at Herricks for the past 15 years, retires this June and will be replaced by Garden City Assistant Superintendent Fino Celano.

“Jack is one of the premier superintendents in the state,” Herricks High School principal Jane Modoono said. “I think Jack’s steadfast commitment is always to broaden opportunities for kids and to ensure they have the most rigorous programs available and the support to be successful.”

Birwirth had previously served as the superintendent of Portland Public Schools in Oregon, a district with more than 50,000 students, and as the national director of the education non-profit Outward Bound.

Earlier this year, Bierwirth was one of a handful of superintendents and about 200 people overall asked to provide

Herricks Superintendent John Bierwirth expert testimony in Albany for the state Education Department and Board of Regents on teacher evaluations.

Bierwirth said that after he retires from Herricks, he would like to work with Programme for International Student Assessment, an organization that uses tests to evaluate education policy and effectiveness in schools across the country and world, he said.

“What I would really like to do is to help them use the PI-

SAs for schools as a framework for discussion between districts about how they can improve programs, because it provides good data,” Bierwirth said. “[Pisa is] much better than every other assessment that I know.”

Bierwirth helped Herricks “sneak” into the PISA program in 2006, becoming one of eight educational institutions in the U.S. and two public school districts to pioneer an assessment that was previously used only in colleges.

During Bierwirth’s tenure at

Herricks, the percentage of students taking at least one AP test increased from about 30 percent to nearly 80 percent.

The district has also started or expanded initiatives like the English Scholars program, a new research program, a language immersion program and a reorganized English department that placed all students in the English honors program.

“Ironically, years later that has turned out to have put us in a very good position for the new diploma requirements for the class of 2022 where students will have to pass an English regents that looks very much like AP English Language,” he said. “We never set out to increase the number of AP’s, what we did set out to do is ensure the highest percentage of the student body left Herricks not with just a diploma but with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed.”

With a smaller per-pupil budget than many neighboring districts, Herricks schools under Bierwirth consistently rank among the best in the state.

Niche.com recently included all three Herricks elementary schools in the top 100 for New

York, and US News and World Report ranked Herricks High School in its top 100.

Bierwirth said when he joined Herricks, he was looking for a school that would be interested “in pushing out the edge of the envelope” and where he could stay until he retired.

“Not long after I got here, I started talking to teachers and parents about where they wanted to see the district in a number of years, and it turned out there was a tremendous amount of overlap,” Bierwirth said. “In terms of what was my proudest accomplishment, I would say working together with everybody, working towards those goals we had established and bringing them to life, making them real.”

Herricks Board of Education President Jim Gounaris has called Bierwirth a “brilliant” man.

“I’m going to miss him on so many levels,” Herricks Board of Education Vice President Nancy Feinstein said in a previous interview. “He’s just so full of information and insight.”

“He would always make time for everyone in the district,” she added.

Scotto calls for DA candidate debates Challenges Singas in primary, Murray in general election to discuss relevant issues

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO

Michael Scotto

Nassau County District Attorney candidate Michael A. Scotto has challenged his Democratic primary opponent, acting DA Madeline Singas, and Republican Kate Murray to debates prior to September’s primary and November’s election.

In a statement, Scotto, of Port Washington, called for at least two debates moderated by the League of Women Voters with three reporters being selected to question the candidates.

“We have an acting district attorney that is worried about county legislator meetings, we have a GOP candidate that uses a slogan stating she is a tax-cutter, and we have both of them arguing over how we lost the Islanders, none of which has anything to do with being a district attorney and handling the tough criminal issues facing Nassau County residents,” Scotto said in a statement. “I am calling for a

series of debates so we can address the real issues and show the people what we would each bring to the table as district attorney.”

Singas campaign spokesman Isaac Goldberg declined a request for comment on this story.

An email to Murray’s campaign was not immediately returned.

In an email Wednesday, Murray campaign spokesman Bill Corbett Jr. said, “Mr. Scotto should know that there is a process to follow in politics. First the Nassau Democrat Party must choose its candidate through its own debate and primary process. I am sure that there will be debates between the candidates closer to the election.”

Among the issues Scotto said needed to be debated are the county’s heroin and opiate overdose rate, its murder rate in the Village of Hempstead and “an ever-growing political corrpution issue in our county.”

“It’s time to raise the level of debate in the DA’s race above

pandering for votes based on non-issues that sound good but mean nothing and bring it to a level that addresses the real problems and shows each candidate’s solutions so the voters can make an informed decision,” Scotto said.

Murray, the Town of Hempstead supervisor since 2003, was pegged by the Nassau Republican Committee during a nominating convention in early May. Weeks later, Singas, a Manhasset resident who assumed the district attorney position following the departure of former DA Kathleen Rice to Congress, received the Nassau County Democratic Committee’s endorsement.

Scotto is the former chief of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office’s Rackets Bureau, serving the office for 22 years under Manhatten district attorneys Robert Morgenthau and Cyrus Vance. He is also a former counselor with Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C.

ONE Complimentary SANGRIA Seating: 12 Noon · 1:30 pm · 3:00 pm

BY B I LL S A N A N TON I O An officer of the Nassau County Police Department’s Third Precinct and two ambulatory technicians who last December rescued a mother who had just given birth were honored Monday with citations from county lawmakers.

Officer Michael Siarkowicz, and AMTs Matthew Beshlian and Ryan Makovy received the County Legislature’s “Cop of the Month” awards for administering CPR to the newborn and taking them to a local hospital.

“I think this is a reflection of the good work of our officers that goes unnoticed every single day,” said James Carver, president of the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association.

Upon responding to a call for a woman in premature labor, Siarkowicz, Beshlian and Makovy found the woman had already given birth to a baby girl who appeared blue in color, was not breathing and had a low heartbeat.

Beshlian and Makovy performed CPR on the child and the three transported mother and daughter to Winthrop-Universi-

ty Hospital, where the woman gave birth to a second child, a boy.

The girl, whose condition improved at the hospital, survived.

“You just think, what if you weren’t born or if you were born and did not survive,” Carver said. “Years from now, this child, due to the work of these guys behind me, will be able to go on to school, because a success in the community, marry, have children, be able to be a productive member of society.”

Siarkowicz, 32, Beshlian, 30, and Makovy, 32, did not give remarks during the ceremony.

Beshlian later told Newsday, “The whole call was a challenge. And without officer Siarkowicz and AMT Makovy it would have gone a lot differently.”

Acting Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter lauded the “team” effort of Siarkowicz and the AMTs. “There really is a team in Nassau County,” he said. “The AMTs are part of that team, it’s all part of the good work the men and women of the Nassau County Police Department do on a day-to-day basis that makes this probably the best police department in the country.”

Study finds harbor healthy despite poor rating

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO Hempstead Harbor has received a floundering health grade as part of a new study analyzing the health of the Long Island Sound.

Though its result revealed improved oxygen levels than in recent years, Hempstead Harbor scored a D+ rating, or a 60-70 percent grade, from scientists at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Studies, who tracked the dissolved oxygen and nitrogen levels and clarity of the waters.

Oxygen levels in the harbor, which includes Middle Harbor, Lower Harbor and Glen Cove Creek, received a B+ grade.

“Turning the tide on our water quality doesn’t happen overnight. We all know that years of neglect and ignorance took their toll on so many of our waterways,” North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said in a statement. “But in recent years the dedication and hard work of so many has begun to change that. I am deeply committed and confident that we will attain our mutual goal to restore Hempstead Harbor back to the pristine

body of water that it once was and see it teaming with fish, fowl and shellfish.”

Funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the non-profit Long Island Funders Collaborative, the study’s findings showed “a remarkable comeback” for the harbor, according to a news release.

Officials said previous studies of the harbor found an 80 percent mortality rate of starfish and crabs that live in the waters, and that almost 3 million clams and oysters repopulated the harbor from 2007-09.

“A healthy shellfish population prom-

ises to further improve water quality through natural filtration, as well as to restore a part of the Long Island Sound’s ecosystem and marine heritage,” Fish and Wildlife officials said.

Added Bosworth: “This report card evaluation of nitrogen and oxygen does indicate that the investments that we and our partners have made in the health of the harbor over the past 20 years have paid off, which includes wetland and shoreline restoration, improving storm water runoff, shoreline space preservation and shellfish seeding.

OUR VIEWS

Accountability missing from IDAs The system, if you want to call it that, by which industrial development agencies grant hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks each year to private businesses in an effort to boost job growth and economic development is lacking in both Nassau County and the State of New York.

Industrial development agencies in the state granted $105 million more in net tax breaks to businsses in 2013 than 2012 — while generating nearly 23,000 fewer jobs, according to a recent report by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.

Nassau County’s performance was even worse.

Tax breaks on projects approved by the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency were more than 10 times higher per job created than the state’s median level in 2013, generating just 1,835 jobs.

The county lagged well behind nearby Suffolk (14,080) and Westchester (7,982) counties in job creation despite approving more projects (278) and exemptions ($69,165,084) than its downstate peers, according to the report.

Nassau granted $23,611 in exemptions for every job it gained, eclipsing Suffolk ($644) and Westchester ($1,563), according to the report.

In addition, Nassau recouped just 37 percent of the exemptions through paymentin-lieu-of-taxes agreements with businesses, less than the 59 percent recovered by Suffolk and the 67 percent Westchester got back. Nassau issued $43,325,571 in net tax exemptions — tax exemptions minus payments in lieu

of taxes — greater than the $13,164,205 issued in Suffolk and $25,730,802 in Westchester.

Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos said an analysis of Nassau’s IDA activity conducted by his office found the agency “appears to support smaller scale projects with less jobs potential.” He made the sensible suggestion that it instead “favor higher quality projects that have the potential to create or retain a higher number of jobs.”

Maragos also called on the county industrial development agency to reconsider the criteria by which it grants tax breaks to businesses planning construction.

This followed a call by DiNapoli for all industrial development agencies to use “standardized project applications, cost-benefit analysis, uniform project agreements agreements and provisions for the recapture of benefits for certain nonperformance.”

In other words, to create uniform rules across the State of New York for awarding businesses tax breaks — something that does not exist.

In fact, industrial development agencies are not even required to file a report with the state on their activities. The information provided the state comptroller’s report, amazingly enough, is purely voluntary.

Alan J. Wax, a spokesman for the Nassau IDA and president of the Melville firm WaxWords Inc., defended the county IDA’s performance in 2013, saying that in 2013 the agency focused its efforts in assisting 58 businesses affected

by Superstorm Sandy the previous year.

But in his letter to the IDA, Maragos cited a recent telephone conversation with Nassau County IDA Executive Director Joseph J. Kearney in which the director was said to have disputed the accuracy of the job creation numbers in the state report and said that “updated NCIDA performance

data” would be submitted t by June 15.

Thus far neigther the Maragos of the state comptroller’s office say they have received the updated numbers.

There is no doubt that the county and the state benefit from well-placed tax breaks that generate jobs and economic ac-

tivity.

But clearly changes are needed both on a state and a county level for that to happen.

DiNapoli and Maragos have offered sound starting points for reform.

We hope elected officials in the county and the state to take them up on it.

Medicare for all the answer to Supreme Court ruling

T

he Supreme Court will soon decide on a suit that seeks to end many subsidies for the purchase of healthcare coverage.

Republicans, who initiated the suit because of a few words in the Affordable Care Act, may be panicking at the possibility that the court will abolish the subsidies.

Ironically, most of those affected, about six million enrollees, live in Republican-led states.

The predicted swell of anger would be directed at Republican legislators.

Despite many announcements

by Republican members of Congress, during the five year existence of the Act, as they like to call Obamacare, nothing viable has appeared.

Admittedly, the ACA is very complicated, and could stand revision.

Better alternatives have been successful in many other countries and an Expanded and Improved Medicare For All Act has been introduced in the 2015-2016 Congress by Representative John

Conyers.

Briefly, the United States National Health Care Act establishes a unique universal health insurance program with single payer financing. It would create a publicly financed, privately delivered healthcare system to all U.S. residents, including the territories.

It would immediately provide access to everyone, changing the now inefficient and costly fragmented non-system, at a vastly lower cost.

The ACA, despite informed resistance to some of the provisions forced on the Congress by powerful lobbying from the private insurance companies and big Pharma, was passed. It does not need to be the only solution.

The best provisions of the ACA would be included; patients would have their choice of physicians.

Standards of care would be established by expert medical panels.

Workers displaced by elimination of private insurance bureaucracies could logically be rehired and trained to implement the not-forprofit system, as is already func-

tioning in the Medicare model.

As estimated in a study conducted by the Center for Economic Research and Policy, the average cost of coverage for a middle income family of four, now about $4,200 annually, could be reduced to about $2,700 for all health care costs. An employer’s share of the costs would be drastically reduced as well.

Savings would come from reduced administration, bulk purchasing and coodination among providers.

Funding would come from federal, state and other taxes, similar to those derived from a number of levies, along with closing of tax loopholes that plague our economy.

We have already seen lower total expenditures even with the unnecessary costs caused by the current system, but we must seriously consider that we could do much better, at a lower cost, while investing in the human right to universal healthcare coverage.

Steps to be taken to combat cyber attacks

N

ot a week goes by without news of another high-profile cyber attack — Target, Sony, JPMorgan Chase, just to name a few.

Not even the federal government is immune. Just this week, the U.S. government announced that hackers had accessed the personal data of more than 4 million current and former federal employees. And earlier this week the Internal Revenue Service announced that individuals used stolen data to gain access to the tax returns of more than 100,000 people through an application on the agency’s own website.

It’s clear that information theft is a constant threat that impacts companies on a daily basis.

For every big, public incident, there are scores more that

O

go unreported.

Cyber crime is a broader problem that’s not confined to tech companies and large corporations. The risks are very real for all companies.

The truth is, if you possess personally identifiable information on a lone employee or single customer, you have a cyber exposure.

That data doesn’t have to exist on a network, either. These days, holding any personal information — even if it exists only on paper — presents a potentially costly privacy risk that falls under the cyber umbrella.

Loss can occur as a result of access to networks via stolen credentials or breaches, unsecured or lost mobile devices, or malicious email or Web links.

Regardless of your size or industry, adequate controls are

needed to minimize the risks to your sensitive data. Here are five steps you can take to strengthen your cyber risk management strategy: 1. Perform a risk assessment.

A critical first step in enhancing your data security is to identify system vulnerabilities and understand how your data is managed and secured. You should have a thorough inventory of the kind of information you have, how much of it you have and where you have it.

2. Educate your team. Everyone is accountable in managing cyber risks, including temporary workers and contactors. Implement a sound internal communication and training strategy on the protection and proper use of sensitive data, including how to recognize and report security threats. Integrate cyber security

Oh, I believe in yesterday

n June 2 the New York Times reported that Barnard College announced it will begin accepting transgender women, joining a slate of women’s colleges that have created formal policies on whether to admit students who do not identify with their birth sex.

The new policy, which the Board of Trustees has approved, welcomes applicants who “consistently live and identify as women, regardless of the gender assigned to them at birth.” Students who enter as female and then transition to male while at Barnard will be able to stay at the college and receive a Barnard degree.

Transgender men however, who were assigned female at birth but identify as men at the time of application, are ineligible for admission, as are students who identify as neither gender, regardless of their birth sex.

In Spokane, Wash, Rachel Dolezal,

into employee orientation, with an emphasis on the consequences of sharing passwords, falling for email phishing scams, exposing laptops and USB storage devices to theft, and otherwise neglecting to observe data security policies.

3. Know your vendors. When entrusting personal information to third parties, implement reasonable measures to ensure they have the capacity to protect this information. This means selecting only service providers that are capable of maintaining safeguards for personal information equal to or better than yours, and contractually requiring them to maintain such safeguards. You should also require your vendors to show proof of insurance to provide you with protection if they are the cause of loss.

4. Address portable devices.

Accidental loss and theft of laptops, smartphones and tablets are leading causes of compromised data. It is crucial to always encrypt these devices to render the protected information unreadable and unusable in the event of a breach.

5. Make sure you’re properly covered. Insurance is an important weapon in this war.

According to the Ponemon Institute, the average security breach costs organizations almost $200 for each record that’s stolen, or about $5.5 million for the typical company breach. A claim that size could cripple a business without adequate insurance coverage. Ideally, it never gets to that point.

Pacific Trade Deal defeat a good thing for environment

who has claimed for years she was black and heads the local chapter of the NAACP is white, in reality changing her ethnicity hence claiming to be born into the wrong race.

I know that Al Shapton after giving it some thought, not much I would imagine has since blamed the white parents for outing Ms. Dolezal but I would give anything to have been a fly on the wall when he heard the news.

Thus in the view of the liberal who is willing to discard traditional values, the truth is 1) what you want it to be and 2) is predicated by your feelings.

This gives pause to the liberal’s new favorite mantra of, “ be what you want to be”.

Oh for the simpler days of yesteryear when just about everything made sense.

Bill Viggiano Williston Park

A

s I noted this Friday, June 12, the Democrats defeated the Fast Track [Pacific] Trade Agreement and sent it to the dumpster.

What I had been hearing about it was as a matter of fact, quite scary.

I also have to keep in mind what I hear about the trade agreement we have with our two closest neighbors. It is said that Canada imports cheap labor that is not paid well with poor living conditions and that Mexico does not pay wages that compare to our minimum standards.

Whether there are other appropriate benefits, I cannot say though I tend to doubt that there are. That is not in line with big corps.

President Obama’s stance on this matter is not in line with his general priorities. I don’t know why.

With the effort to keep our planet clean and control global warming, having a huge number of huge freighters and huge cargo planes going back and forth twenty four- seven would have to be a huge source of pollution.

To my knowledge, not one word has been spoken in this regard. Everyone should, as much as possoble, make their stuff locally to aboid this.

The above rejection of this agreement is an example of democracy in action: Government by and for the people.

Another example of this is

getting little by little a better minimum wage. It should not have to be a hard fought battle and it is still not a fair share.

As I saw on The PBS Newshour, it was Nancy Pelosi who presented the good news about the agreement to President Obama.

She has been in the spotlight a long time, is well known and does not have any dark clouds hanging over her.

Should our electorate decide they would like to have a woman for president, she is a good example of who to choose.

I don’t see that someone like her would be a chameleon if elected.

Celebrating an iconic deli’s 127th anniversary

C

ongratulations to Katz’s Delicatessen on your 127th Anniversary! Eating at Katz’s Delicatessen is a religious experience for those who enjoy great deli.

Forget the fancy tablecloths, waiters and sparkling bottled water in other restaurants. Go to the Manhattan Lower Eastside of our ancestors to enjoy authentic New York food eaten by genera-

tions of Big Apple residents. Your bubbee would be proud.

Take a day free from worrying about cholesterol and your weight to enjoy life!

When out-of-town friends or family come to visit, they always insist we go to Katz’s for a great lunch. There is no equivalent to Katz’s deli-style good grub.

Don’t forget to stuff a dollar in the tip cup for the counterman

who serves you. Your reward will be a great sample of what’s to come. In front of your eyes while you salivate in anticipation, he will build a sandwich requiring two hands to eat.

The restaurant is a trip down memory lane, with photographs of celebrities from different eras.

You can learn more about our past history at Katz’s than visiting any local museum. The

list of all the famous customers who have visited Katz’s over the many decades is amazing.

Look closely at the back of some chairs. Perhaps a former president or two or some other famous individual used the same seat.

Every winning politician in decades has made a campaign stop at Katz’s!

The portions and quality

continue to be one of the best buys in New York today.

Anyone still hungry after dining there must have a tapeworm!

Let’s hope the continuing redevelopment of this neighborhood doesn’t also overrun Katz’s as well!

One woman’s poison… is such a treat!

My husband has only one rule for me when it comes to what I feed my family: I’m not allowed to serve them anything that didn’t come into the house with a receipt.

All because of a few honest “mistakes.”.

I was still a teenager, living with my folks in Maryland, when I noticed that the label on my mother’s jar of Bay Leaves had “Laurel” written in very small letters underneath.

Well, every spring, the woods near our house were filled with bushes sprouting peppermint-drop-looking flowers, and everyone called them “Mountain Laurel.”

Why not pick some of those leaves and use them in soups and stews, instead of bay leaves?

Except it turns out they’re not related to bay leaves at all.

They’re related to hemlock.

The same stuff they brewed up and gave to Socrates, in ancient Greece, when they’d had enough of his Socratic Method.

Then there was that time in college, when I realized that our room actually had a fireplace, so I could treat my roommates to

“chestnuts roasting on an open fire,” just like the song says.

They smelled wonderful!

And they tasted wonderful, too...for the first 10 seconds.

Then they turned bitter in our mouths, and we all spat them out.

“Where did you buy these chestnuts, Judy?”

“Buy them? I didn’t buy them. They’re all over the ground, in front of the dorm.”

“But those aren’t edible chestnuts — they’re horse-chestnuts, from horse-chestnut trees!”

“You mean there’s a difference?”

“Um, yeah — horse chestnuts are poisonous!”

So, like I said, a few honest mistakes.

A few years after my husband and I bought a house in the suburbs, the county came along and stuck a tree in the ground, in front of it.

“What is it, anyway?” my husband wanted to know.

“It’s an Ock-me Cherry,” the workman said.

“What, Acme does trees now?”

“I dunno. Some Japanese or-

Judy epstein

A Look on the Lighter Side namental.”

I shouldn’t have been surprised when the thing flowered and bore fruit. But I was surprised at the mess.

The cherries fell all over our car, street, and sidewalk, staining everything they touched.

I had to hose off the sidewalk every day, just so people could walk by. And there were still loads of cherries on the tree, waiting to drop.

Why wait, I wondered? So one afternoon, while my kids were napping, I got out a ladder and a pot, and started “harvest-

ing” our crop.

It wasn’t long before I had another thought.

The fruit looked so juicy and ripe; what if they turned out to be edible? It would be such a waste to throw them all away.

So I put the pot on the porch, while I tried to call the Cornell agricultural extension.

But this was July, and it was hot outside. Who wants bees buzzing around their porch, drunk on fermented cherryjuice?

So I decided to cover the pot and keep it cold in the refrigerator while I finished the calls.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

The sitter! I had forgotten — she was watching the kids for me, just for an hour until my husband got home, because I had a doctor’s appointment. I gave her strict instructions on what she could feed the kids, then grabbed my purse and rushed off.

When I walked back in the door, my children were screaming, trash was all over the floor, and my husband was on the line with the Poison Control Hotline.

“Judy,” he barked, “Did you

tell the babysitter she could feed our children those mystery cherries?”

“Of course not! What kind of a mother do you think I am?”

“Never mind that. Just tell me, why are there cherry pits in the trash?”

“Oh my God. What does the hotline say?”

“They say they’ve never heard of an ‘Ock-me’ cherry, so they can’t say if any amount at all is safe to eat. Where does the sitter live, anyway? She’s not answering her phone, and for all I know she’s comatose, somewhere.”

She was fine, of course. My husband is such a worry-wart!

When we finally reached her, she told him of course she would never give the kids anything I hadn’t listed, and anyway the cherries hadn’t tasted very good, that’s why she’d only eaten two.

Just for the record, when they’re ripe enough, they’re delicious.

But don’t tell my husband that; he still thinks I throw them all away. One man’s poison is this woman’s treat!

Kremer ’ s cor n er

American Pharoah a true sports hero The past few weeks haven’t exactly been happy weeks.

The weather may be warmer now but it took a very long time for the sun to shine two days in a row. The national news is not very encouraging either and politics in New York is at a stalemate.

So I want to pay special tribute to a horse, not just any horse, I mean American Pharaoh.

Up to a week or so ago, there wasn’t anything or person on the horizon to make us all flash a collective smile. Somehow, it took a beautiful stallion to turn things around in a dramatic way.

History has proven that many horses win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and then miss out on the Triple Crown by losing the Belmont Stakes.

Prior to the big race, I wasn’t sure if this particular horse would capture the imagination of anyone because the last thing we needed was another loser.

You can say there is no connection, but I think otherwise.

Whether you live in Rockville, Maryland or Roslyn, there has been something missing these past few months.

We have been itching for some real exciting news and not quite sure where it

affection of millions peowould come from. There ple, literally overnight. are many Ranger fans in We all know the rest the local area who were of the story. Ninety thouthrilled with the playoffs, sand people and millions but in the end, the Rangof television viewers ers fell short. around the world were There was a lot of adtreated to a spectacular vance hype in the media victory by a very special about this golden horse horse. but a lot of us refused to To show how special be caught up in anticipaAmerican Pharaoh is, altion of what would hapmost half the people who pen on the day of the big bought a winning ticket, race. Why get overly exjerry Kremer have not cashed in their cited, so soon?

Kremer’s Corner ticket. They would rather Somehow, on the big have a souvenir than get day, you could almost feel a couple of bucks for their excitement building up.

America was ready for a winner of any kind breakfast coffee.

Once all the thrills had subsided, I and we decided to put our hopes on a horse.

On that fateful Saturday, some of my started thinking about the state of the sports friends and neighbors, who know noth- business in America and how disappointing ing about horseracing, were talking about it has become.

Team owners are willing to pay obscene American Pharaoh.

You could sense that something was amounts of money for some athlete who building up around the country and that this turns about to be a big bust. If they don’t fail time there was not going to be any disap- on the field they fail off the field. There are pointment, like what we have gone through a growing number of stories about high paid players assaulting a spouse or girlfriend and in the past.

This horse had become the object of the periodic suspensions for illegal drug use.

If I were a soccer fan who follows the sport around the world, I wouldn’t be in a state of ecstasy about the FIFA scandal. The players are no doubt, highly competent and give the fans loads of thrills.

But to think that some of the big names in the organization may be going to jail for bribery is not very comforting.

Multi-million dollar bribes to host a soccer event and under-the-table payments for product endorsements, surely doesn’t build up confidence in the soccer industry.

I could go on and on, sport by sport, pointing out how disappointing they have become to the average fan but I don’t want to detract from the great victory by American Pharaoh.

He made us all proud, and yes, he made millions of people smile.

For at least a day or two, everyone around us wanted to claim this horse as one of the family.

We were ready for some good news and this incredible creature did what no human being had done for us in quite a while.

VGN trustees lacking in accessibility

L

ast week I went for a walk on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

The path I follow each time I walk varies like the weather and is never quite the same. This time it was Arrandale Avenue.

Paying attention to the different homeowners’ landscapes that blossom come Spring is an adventure in the Village of Great

Neck. This time the adventure was a bit different.

Along the sidewalk, I noticed a hole a half foot deep. One misstep and certain injury would occur. I took note of the closest address.

Back home, I looked at the Great Neck Village website planning to send a message to the village trustees, but the Contact Us pages are missing the trustee

email addresses.

The website only allows contact with someone anonymous at info@greatneckvillage.org.

I wondered if my email of a safety concern would be treated as important? I wondered how long it would take for my message to be directed to the correct desk?

Fast forward to Monday, I phoned the Village Hall. I asked

if there is a method to contact the trustees directly and the answer I received was “Why? “ Why was I asked “Why?” Perhaps residents have given up on trying to reach their trustees in which case my phone call came as a surprise. Perhaps the trustees don’t want to be reached?

Either way I have learned that my experience is not unique,

and it would seem that my fellow residents and I know that our mayor and trustees stopped listening to us a long time ago.

It is time for communication.

I hope you voted for Pedram Bral, Anne Mendelson and Raymond Plakstis to be heard.

Hoping Rep. Rice will surprise me

A

fter reading the article “Rice finds surprises as a Congressperson,” I’m wondering what surprises we will find in our U.S Representative of the 4th Congressional District.

With the Congresswomen settling in to her new job and as she reflects on her first couple of months in office, it’s time to tune in our radar and begin to watch exactly what Kathleen Rice can bring to the table.

Like most fresh face politicians, Congresswomen Rice says all the things that people want to hear and hits many of the topics that are paramount to a community and a nation.

Has she talked about the question of term limits? Check.

Has she spoken about the rules & games of the inner workings of Washington? Check.

Does she opine on the misgivings of the electoral system? Check.

Does she express indigna-

tion to the attentions given to our homeless and jobless vets? Check.

Does she speak of the need to reform campaign finance laws and necessity for party compromise?

Check and check.

So as she takes residence in her office at 1508 Longworth, with boxes of all these great ideologies, we wait and see as she unpacks and settles in if she will have her own voice that can affect positive change or will she get swallowed up in the system as she entrenches

herself among the members of the ol’ club?

Will she be able to set herself apart from the machine?

She spoke recently to the League of Women Voters of Nassau County about the influence and success of lobbyist working on behalf of the big businesses.

But will she be able to reconcile the campaign contributions of these businesses with the unwavering requirement of party fund raising?

As she will undoubtedly need to not only fill her coffers but that of the party, can she confidently do anything different and be successful in that regard?

As I always am, I’m optimistic when our political leader takes the job.

Whether optimism will turn to disappointment remains to be seen but like Kathleen Rice, I can be surprised too.

Saying Caitlyn Jenner is OK is wrong

I

n 1976, Bruce Jenner, the U.S. Olympic decathlon champion, was considered not only the world’s greatest athlete, but a poster boy for American values and ideals.

I still can’t believe that he has resurfaced, 40 years later, as none other than Caitlyn Jenner.

Obviously, his days of being a poster-boy for anything are over.

However, in order to make his or anyone else’s gender transition accepted, support has to come from: 1 - our elected officials, 2 - our mainstream media, and 3 - our colleges and universities.

Luckily for him, his new lifestyle got an enthusiastic endorsement from all three liberal institutions.

There are some industry experts who estimate that Jenner will turn this makeover into a $50 million dollar fortune.

Personally I don’t give a damn whether he prefers Chanel or Oscar de la Renta, or whether he checks off male or female on his Medicare card.

Bruce and Caitlyn Jenner

are both sad, disturbed individuals and I find this whole issue perplexing and rather boring and tedious.

Why millions of people would waste their time watching a Jenner reality TV show, says less about Jenner and more about the decline of American society during Barack Obama’s tenure in office.

For those of you who do care, here are a few examples of people whose “helpful” policy decisions made all of this possible: 1 - To get the ball rolling, (no pun intended) the Obama Administration ended a 33-year ban on Medicare coverage for “gender reassignment” surgery.

That’s the new PC term for a sex-change operation. The Department of Health and Human Service’s ruling was in a response to a lawsuit filed on behalf of Denee Mallon, age 74, a transgender woman and army veteran from Albuquerque.

Denee is now a “she” veteran, who was once a “he” veteran. It’s sort of confusing, but remember that our radical leftwing President’s game-plan has always been to make everyone’s

inner-self feel good, regardless of the consequences.

1 - Smoke a legalized joint, 2 - pick up your welfare check, 3 - stay on unemployment as long as you like, and 4 - everyone, even illegal aliens, are all welcomed to receive every entitlement that this socialistic president can think of.

However, on Election Day, they must remember who made all of this possible and show their appreciation by voting Democratic!

Progressive’s, check in hand, will rush to your aid. Unless of course, 1 - you are a senior citizen in need of expensive chemotherapy to keep you alive, or 2 - if you are an 8-month, unborn fetus, or 3 - if you are a registered Republican.

According to far-Left zealots, all of these people are not worth saving!

2 - Barnard College, the nationally known “woman’s Ivy”, has decided to increase their incoming freshman class in a

rather innovative way. They are admitting transgender women who “consistently live and identify themselves as a woman”.

What will the dean of admissions or the NCAA do if these scholars try out for Barnard’s swim team? That’s anyone’s guess.

3 - Locally, even our own Town of North Hempstead jumped into the fray. Two weeks ago, our Town Board unanimously passed an amendment protecting all of our transgendered residents from discrimination.

This not only covers workers employed by the town, but employees in private businesses as well.

The next time I walk into our Town Hall to pay my taxes, I hope to see new workers, just like Caitlyn, sitting there.

4 - And finally, in Massachusetts, public school students are now permitted to legally “pick their own gender”. What a great democracy we live in! Right ?

(By the way, the Obama Administration coincidently ordered all federally funded schools to allow students to pick their own gender as well.)

Since president Obama, the ACLU, and all the woman’s and gay right’s organizations have banded together to fight against gender discriminatory practices being committed here, I’m sure progressives everywhere will now turn their attention abroad. I’m looking forward to meeting them at the airport when they return home from countries like Saudi Arabia or Iraq, after they press for gay marriage and sex change operations over there.

To tell you the truth, I’m not so sure the Ayatollah Khomeini will appreciate their philanthropic efforts. But I’m sure that won’t stop them.

Now that President Obama and John Kerry have assured us that Iran has repented and can finally be trusted, rumors began circulating in Washington this week, that Caitlyn Jenner has already contributed to the Clinton Foundation to insure her nomination as President Hillary Clinton’s ambassador to Iran.

Way to go, Hillary !!

Wheatley Club’s plan remain troubling

E

ast Williston’s Board of Trustees has set the date of Monday, June 29, 2015, at 7:30 p.m., for the public hearing for the Wheatley Hills Golf Club’s current plans that, apparently, may still include bedrooms for upwards of 13 -15 (or more?) male workers.

Although the Club’s current plans (4/15) appear to reduce the number of planned rooms from 12 bedrooms to eight bedrooms in its western-wing (approximately, within 20 feet of East Williston residences), there seems to be no mention of the club’s reducing the total number of male workers living in those bedrooms.

As those who attended East Williston’s public hearing (12/4/14), involving the club’s earlier, conditional use-application may recall, the club’s attorney indicated that 13 workers were living Numerous residents who attended the aforementioned meeting, including my husband and myself, expressed surprise and dismay at hearing 13 workers were living at the club.

At the aforementioned meeting, the Club’s attorney declared that a large amount of workers had been living at the Club for many years….again, to the surprise…and, to the contrary observations…of many East Williston residents.

East Williston’s village attorney, at the aforementioned meeting, asked the club’s attorney for the following information: paperwork showing when workers had been living at the club; background checks on its workers, and records of I am not aware of any government-stamped, supporting documentation from earlier years that has been submitted to our board of trustees, by the club, justifying having 13 male workers living there in the past….or in the present.

Even if the club could verify it had even, possibly, 2 apartments existing legally on its premises, how would that justify the club’s making the “quantum leap” assumption that 13 (or more?) single male workers should be allowed to be housed in such apartments?

It would seem that any potential “living quarters” on Golf Clubs’ premises might be offered to house very few folks in managerial, instructional, and/ or security positions (e.g., a general manager, a head greenskeeper, a golf pro, night-watchman, etc.)….certainly, not 13 (or more?) employees.

In my opinion, establishing a boarding house-like facility at the Club for 13 (or more?) single male workers is not appropriate in the Village of East Williston and should not be approved by our Board of Trustees.

East Williston homeowners whose quality of life may be impacted significantly by our village Board of Trustees’ potential approval of the club’s current plans should ask: 1. What officially approved, receipt-stamped documents, already on file with the Village of East Williston, give the Club the right, specifically, to house employees on its property?

2. If the Club has been boarding 13 (or more?) workers before its current renovation-plans were submitted, how many male

workers will it house in its nowplanned 8 bedrooms?

3. Will our Village officials enact a limit on the amount of workers…male or female…that can be boarded in these 8 bedrooms?

4. How will homeowners’ security, privacy, safety issues, etc., be addressed?

5.Did the club present official documentation requested by East Williston’s Village Attorney at the public hearing (12-4-14): paperwork showing when workers had been living at the club; background checks on its workers, and, records of workers living there?

I urge each homeowner to review, for himself, the current (4/2015) Wheatley Hills Golf Club’s plans on file at our village office.

Again, although the club’s current plans (4/15) appear to reduce the number of planned rooms from 12 bedrooms to 8 bedrooms in its western-wing (approximately, within 20 feet of East Williston residences), there seems to be no mention of the club’s reducing the total number

of male workers living in those bedrooms….which still implies, in my opinion, that the Club may continue to intend to house 13 (or more?) male workers in those bedrooms.

If you have similar concerns and/or questions regarding the Club’s most recent plans(e.g., security issues, privacy issues, safety issues, etc.), I urge you to attend the public hearing, June 29, 2015, 7:30 p.m., in our Village Hall, to voice your opinions on this issue that has the serious potential to impact, negatively, East Williston’s quality of life….and, its property values…. far into the future.

This may be your last opportunity to speak out!

As prior, scheduled hearings have been postponed at the last minute for various reasons, I would suggest you call our village office beforehand to confirm the date and time of this public hearing (Monday, June 29, 2015, 7:30 p.m., Village Hall).

Still takes a village to raise a child right

N

YPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton pointed out while on the John Gambling radio show AM 970, that there is a breakdown in American family values.

He said,’ We’re starting to reap what we have sown over

the last 40,50 years, with homes dissolving and homes without parental guidance.”

This in turn has caused a deterioration of police -community relations. I could not agree with the commissioner more for he hit it right on the nail. Respect and guidance starts in the home

and goes onto the schools and finally onto the streets.

Parents need to be more involved and need to take the upper hand and must teach their children a total respect for authority. They need to enact restrictions for their children and to impose times for their chil-

dren to be home. They need also to know who their children are with and phone numbers where they can be reached at all times.

Our Finest as Commissioner Bratton pointed out they feel demoralized by lack of respect on the street.

While they are only doing

their duty in trying to protect and serve the community. Our local communities must instill in our youth good moral values.

Remember this too: It takes a village to raise a child !

Confronted by discrimination, Ra ducks

R

ecently state Assemblyman Ed Ra had the opportunity to speak out against discrimination and instead he ducked.

The school board of East Ramapo has been taken over by parents who send all their children to private schools. They took over the school board to gut the budget and reduce their personal taxes at the expense of the minority members of the community.

These parents have, in effect given themselves a tax break on the backs of parents who simply cannot afford to send their children to private schools — and Ed Ra has sided against public school families.

According to The Capital, the Albany newspaper devoted to government watching: “representatives of a growing Orthodox Jewish population have gained a majority on the school board even though their children attend private yeshivas. The board has ordered deep cuts to staff and programs in recent years, causing a variety of state agencies, including the comptroller’s office and education department, to scrutinize and criticize its financial decisions.”

And who are the children being affected: “ low-income families, immigrants who do not speak English and students with disabilities.”

A bill was introduced to grant

the state oversight to address just such problems and ensure that one group does not oppress another, locking out a generation from educational advancement.

Unfortunately, my fellow coreligionists took this as an attack on Judaism rather than a blow against discrimination. I am a Jewish man, whose paternal family escaped the anti-Semitism and pogroms of Romania, I keenly feel the need to attack discrimination whenever it raises its head, and against whoever perpetrates it.

The residents in East Ramapo are divided, and those with the power are oppressing those without the power. It is shameful that the oppressors are Jewish and that

Ed Ra is abetting their conduct.

Ra rather than taking a principled position chose to mutter some platitudes and coming together: “This bill is just creating more division, and by doing so, we’re not going to get the best outcomes for the children of this district. What this really calls for is for people on both sides of this issue to come together and find common ground.”

How, then Mr. Ra are we to protect the children by doing nothing?

Democratic Assemblyman Titone from Staten Island took up the challenged and answered courageously: “I don’t appreciate the possibility that if I vote yes, I may be called an anti-Semite,” Titone

said. “If I vote no, I’m racist. Certainly, this is a local issue and I am concerned, like many of you who are voting no, about the proverbial slippery slope of what will happen next. But still, there is something in my gut. I know it when I see it. Something has to be done immediately, or at the end of the day — not the Jewish community, not the black community, but for the children of East Ramapo. If that means we put a monitor in place temporarily, then so be it.”

Fortunately, the bill passed in the Assembly, no thanks to Mr. Ra. Gary B. Port LT. Colonel, (retired) West Hempstead

Bridge demolition to slow LIRR service B y A d a m L i d g e tt The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will reduce Long Island Rail Road train service between Great Neck and Port Washington this weekend during demolition of the 115-year-old Colonial Road Bridge in the Village of Thomaston.

Service along the Port Washington line will be provided by buses that will run every hour — a reduction in the usual train schedule, which runs every half hour, said MTA LIRR spokesman Salvatore Arena.

Those traveling east to Manhasset, Plandome and Port Washington will get off their trains at the Great Neck station to board buses or vans, the MTA said in a release. Passengers should expect to arrive about 25 minutes later than usual, the MTA said.

Passengers traveling west who take the train from the Port Washington and Plandome stations will need to get on buses about 25 minutes earlier than normal to board a train at the Great Neck station.

Buses will begin replacing the

The Colonial Road Bridge going through prep work for its demolition, scheduled to start this weekend. Photo by Martha Gorfein trains at 12:04 a.m. on June 20 and train service will be restored at 3:15 a.m. June 22. Demolition work will run continually during these hours, the MTA said.

The 115-year-old Colonial

Road Bridge, which is located at the intersection of Colonial Road and Grace Avenue, has been closed to vehicular traffic since March 30, and will remain closed for a year.

The MTA also advises passengers to pay close attention to platform signage as many Port Washington trains will operate on alternate tracks and platforms.

LIRR workers prepped the

bridge in May for its demolition, removing lead paint from the bridge and starting work on a new retaining wall and drainage improvements.

The MTA closed the bridge in March, and will spend about a year replacing it as part of a $45 million project that includes making track-level drainage improvements, building a retaining wall and extending an existing pocket track used to turn trains around.

The MTA has said the replacement of the bridge is essential to the East Side Access project, which will bring the LIRR straight into Grand Central Station in Manhattan. The project, which the MTA says is still about seven years away, will cut the travel time of commuters who work on Manhattan’s east side by 20 to 30 minutes when completed.

Herricks principal looks ahead to retirement

By Ja m es G allo w ay More than a dozen years ago, Jane Modoono received two job offers on the same day: one to be principal of Horace Greeley High School in Westchester and one to be principal of Herricks High School.

Her decision defined the next decade-plus of her life.

“Jack [Bierwirth] really convinced me to come here, and I’m so glad he did,” Modoono said, referring to Herricks Superintendent John Bierwirth.

Now, both Modoono and Bierwirth plan to retire in just a few weeks, something Modoono said has already sunk in.

“I’ve been crying for the past few weeks,” she said. “I think we built a really strong culture here where it feels like a family with a lot of love and laughter and hard work…I’ll miss that.”

When Modoono began at Herricks, she and Bierwirth set a goal for the school to increase the share of students taking AP tests — not for the score but simply because taking the test was found to be an indicator of success.

At the beginning of their

couraging. It’s not more students at the top taking more AP course. It’s a higher and higher percentage of each class feeling prepared enough they can take the test,” Bierwirth said. “We did not twist any students’ arms — there was no new program that we instituted that improved those numbers.”

Among the other programs touted by Modoono that were established during her tenure were the robotics club, discovery days, an expansion of the enrollment in the district’s research program, the Chinese language program and the English Scholars.

“Those are great opportunities for kids to follow their passion, and I think that teaches kids how to be really good listeners,” Modoono said.

Bierwirth said Modoono has “made incredible contributions to the district” during her tenure.

“On a personal and a professional level, [she was] someone who was extraordinary to work with,” he said. “It’s easier to leave it a short answer than a long answer, because a long Jane Modoono answer would take me quite a Now, he said, that figure has while.” tenure, Bierwirth said, about 30 Modoono said she and her percent of students took at least risen to almost 80 percent. one AP test.

York City to their home in East Hampton, where Modoono said she hopes to develop “a sense of community” and find volunteering opportunities she finds meaningful. “[But] my first goal is to rest,” she said. “I’ll be exhausted by the time this is all over.”

Modoono said she would also like to do some consulting work. She has been asked to help out at the honors college at Queens College and she said she will do some consulting for BOCES. “What I’d really like to do is coach new principals,” Modoono said. “I would be good at that, and I also think it would be enjoyable for me.”

While Modoono said she won’t miss the late nights or getting up at 6 a.m. every morning, she said she will miss her interactions with the students.

“I’ll really miss having fun with kids,” she said. “They crack you up. You can always joke with them, tease them — their ideas are fresh.”

“I’m surrounded by 1,400 adolescents,” she added. “At any time in the day I can go out and laugh with them.”

Cancer survivors celebrate at NS-LIJ B y A d a m L i d g e tt After New York Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer known as Ewing sarcoma, his father said three words to him – “let’s do this.”

“I had the feeling that I had to do something,” Herzlich said at the Don Monti Cancer Survivor’s Day held on June 6 at North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute in Lake Success. “I told my father that day that I wasn’t going to accept this. I said ‘I’m going to beat this and play football again.’”

About 2,000 other cancer survivors gathered at the North Shore-LIJ Cancer Institute to celebrate the Don Monti Cancer Survivor’s Day, according to a statement from North Shore-LIJ. While at Boston College in 2008, according to the health system, Herzlich complained of pain while playing squash.

His first medical tests showed nothing was wrong, so he returned to his classes.

Eventually the pain would become so severe he would have to stop playing football. But in 2009, he announced he was cancer-free.

After the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2012, Herzlich’s father said three more words to him – “we did it.”

“All of you here with me now, we’re all working toward one common goal,” Herzlich said. “We want to be able to say there was cancer but there is no more.

We can beat this.”

Also present during the cancer survivor’s event were North Shore-LIJ Presi-

dent and Chief Executive Officer Michael Dowling, North Shore-LIJ Board of Trustees Chair Mark Claster and Acting Executive Director of the cancer institute George Raptis.

North Shore-LIJ also presented Caroline Monti Saladino, president of the Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation, with their Compassionate Care Award.

Her brother Don Monti died at North Shore University Hospital in 1972 at the age of 16 as a result of myeloblastic leukemia.

“My parents were determined not to end his life, so they established the Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation one week later,” she said. “I see faith, hope, lots of love, courage; but most important, I see success.”

“Today is a celebration of Don’s life, my parents’ lives; and it is a celebration of your life,” she said.

A North Shore-LIJ nurse practitioner, Suzanne Ludlum, also had her own battles with cancer. She fought against breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer.

“I would encourage all of you here today, and even those who have just received a diagnosis, to remain positive,” Ludlum said at the event according to the health system. “Stay informed, seek out resources that will work for you.”

Herricks High School names new principal B y J a m e s G allo w ay Farmingdale assistant principal Samuel Thompson will succeed Jane Modoono as the next principal of Herricks High School, the district’s Board of Education announced Wednesday.

Thompson, who received a doctorate in education from St. John’s University in 2014, has served since 2007 as an assistant principal for Farmingdale High School, a position at which he was responsible for developing the school’s master schedule and collaborating on teacher evaluations. Thompson also works as an adjunct professor at St. John’s University.

“I feel prepared and eager to start,” Thompson said in an email. “In the past 11 years as an administrator I have had opportunities to learn and experience the role of principal and it is a ‘dream come true’ to have the opportunity for this role at Herricks.”

Prior to his position at Farmingdale, Thompson served as the dean of students at Baldwin Middle School and as an English teacher at Levittown High School. He has a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree from West Virginia University and a master’s degree in administration from Touro College.

“We are looking forward to working with Dr. Thompson. His sincere and thoughtful regard for the welfare of students as well as his character and experiential background set him apart from the many qualified candidates who applied for the principal position,” Herricks Board of Education President James Gounaris said in a statement. “We have every confidence that Dr. Thompson

will be an excellent fit with our school leadership team.

Thompson will officially assume his duties next month when current Herricks High School principal Jane Modoono retires.

“Herricks is a unique district where it seems the entire school community is committed to the success of students and the students are overwhelmingly committed to learning,” Thompson said. “This was a big draw for me.”

Thompson said his short-term goal is to learn the culture of Herricks High School and build trust.

“In order to transition I have made several visits to the Herricks High School and Community Center already,” he said. “It is so important to meet with as much of the school community as I can in the coming months. It has been a pleasure seeing how welcoming everyone has been in my visits.”

Long term, Thompson said he hopes to “include ways even more students can experience high levels of academic achievement and high levels of personal growth.”

His greatest asset as an educator and administrator, Thompson said, is his emphasis on listening and reflection.

“It is important to understand perspectives, and by first listening, then through reflection, you recognize how certain issues are regarded by someone else,” he said.

In his free time, Thompson enjoys travelling with his family, which includes his wife, Dawn, his six-year-old son, Sammy, and his three-year-old daughter, Ryleigh, he said.

“I look forward to adding and including them in the Herricks family,” he said.

Police investigate potential Sea Cliff village hall burglary

BY B I LL S A N A N TON I O Nassau County Police are investigating a potential burglary that took place sometime last weekend at Sea Cliff Village Hall.

Upon arriving at village hall Monday, Sea Cliff Mayor Bruce Kennedy found writing on the wall of a conference room and windows open.

The writing read, “Let us chill in parks so we don’t have to chill here!!! # give respect where respect is due,” police said.

More writing, including a symbol of a heart and the words, “sorry janitor,” was also discovered, police said.

It was not disclosed whether any proceeds were taken from the Village Hall, located at 300 Sea Cliff Ave.

Plandome Manor OKs beautification spending

BY B I LL S A N A N TON I O Plandome Manor trustees on Tuesday approved more than $2,000 in beautification funds to be utilized within the village.

Museum ball enjoys ‘Midnight in Paris’

BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO Through its black-tie dress code, French cuisine and sophisticated decor, the Nassau County Museum of Art celebrated its 25th anniversary Saturday with its annual fundraising ball, themed “Midnight in Paris.”

The event brought together Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and former County Executive Thomas Gulotta, both Republicans, who were honored in celebration of the museum’s opening in 1990 and its presence as a staple along Long Island’s Gold Coast.

While not necessarily invoking the 2011 Woody Allen film of the same title, museum officials said the ball’s “Midnight in Paris” was meant to recall feelings of glamour and romance often experienced in the famous city.

Organized each year by the museum’s ball and journal committees, the gala is the museum’s primary fundraising event toward its operating budget, which help finance exhibits and programs throughout the year.

Tickets were sold for $1,000 per person at the Patron level, $500 per person at the Friend Level and $350 at the Junior level, for attendees ages 40 and under.

In addition to dining and dancing to the music of the Alex Donner Orchestra, partygoers were able to bid on several luxury items, including artwork, jewelry and dining and event packages.

A raffle for a pair of sapphire and diamond earrings, donated by sponsor Ambalu Jewelers, was also held.

The museum’s 2014 ball had a masquerade theme.

The previous year, its theme coincided with the release of Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s seminal novel, “The Great Gatsby.”

Artist Frances ianarella with her winning painging “pussy Willows in a Ginger Jar.”

ianarella painting takes home first prize Artist Frances Ianarella took home first prize and Port Washington’s Eileen Shea Neville received a special recognition as part of The Art Guild’s 2015 Members Showcase Exhibition. The exhibit, featuring a variety of styles and mediums, showcases 54 member artists and will be on view through Sunday, June 28.

Artist Gregg Kreutz was the juror-of-awards for this exhibition.

Commenting that it was difficult to choose a winner from such an outstanding group, he said that he is inspired by paintings with a strong sense of light and shadow or a lot of paint on the canvas executed in a free-spirited way.

First Place was awarded to Ianarella for her oil painting “Pussy Willows in a Ginger Jar.” Second Place was awarded to Margo Vignola for her oil painting, “Patagonia,”

while Third Place was awarded to Annette Priomos for her oil painting, ”Recycled.“ Kreutz is an award-winning painter and author of the classic artist’s guide, “Problem Solving for Oil Painters.” After graduating from NYU, he pursued his training as a painter at the Art Students League of New York, winning a merit scholarship. He studied with Frank Mason, Robert Beverly Hale and most significantly, David Leffel. Kreutz teaches drawing and painting at the Art Students League as well as workshops throughout the country and around the world.

Honorable Mentions went to Diane Kaufmann for her pastel painting, “Idyllic Crete,” John Pulinat for his oil painting, “A Still Life with the Hurricane ,” and Pam Tarica for her oil painting, “Late Afternoon.”

Neville an artist, watercolor instructor and former board member, was given the Terri Shkuda Award for Broadening Creative Pursuits, which is presented at the Guild‘s Annual Membership Exhibit to the person who best epitomizes the four principles of the organization’s mission statement: Encouragement, Education, Exploration and Exhibition.

This spring, she volunteered to be The Art Guild’s liaison for the Plant-A-Row for the Hungry program, organizing flower pot-painting sessions while designing and painting many of them herself.

Through the Long Island In-

HMTC hosts Armenian genocide photo exhibit The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) presents a special exhibit, Scenes of Horror: A PhotoHistory of the Armenian Genocide, which will be on display through September 30.

Scenes of Horror is a multimedia traveling exhibit curated by Dr. Suren Manyukyan, deputy director of the Armenian Genocide Museum and Institute in Yerevan, Armenia. HMTC is the first museum in the world to display this exhibit.

Included in the display are a mini-exhibit on the American Near East Relief Organization and Auction of Souls, a silent film produced in 1919, which personalizes the genocide by focusing on the experiences of Aurora Mardiganian, a young girl who has come to epitomize the suffering and survival of the Armenian people.

Enhancing the exhibit are several handwoven an-

tique Armenian rugs, on loan from Megerian & Sons Rugs, one of which depicts scenes from the genocide.

The Armenian Cultural Educational Resource Center at Queens College has provided Armenian artifacts from the early 1900s which survived the genocide.

Under the cover of the First World War, 1,500,000 Armenians, including 500,000 children were allegedly killed by the Turkish government. This year marks the 100th commemo-

ration of this atrocity, which is still being denied by Turkey.

The exhibit details the political and the personal through film, text and photos taken by Armenians, as well as by the perpetrators.

The genocide is placed in its historical context and the exhibit presents life before, during and after the atrocities. For anyone interested in human rights, social justice or American History, this exhibition is a “must see.”

Above: ‘Crowd Mix’, acrylic on canvas, 16” x 20”, 2013, by BA Djibril Ngawa Inset: BA Djibril Ngawa

Ngawa works on display at Molloy College exhibit Molloy College will present an exhibit of the work of artist Ba Djibril Ngawa at the Frank and Gertrude Kaiser Art Gallery from Saturday June 27 through Thursday July 30.

The exhibit features photographs and paintings inspired by the shapes, colors, traditions and nature that surrounded the artist during his childhood. Several pieces are accompanied by verse written by the artist.

Ngawa is an artist raised in a pastoral nomadic community in Mauritania. Ngawa describes his art as “freedom of creation, expression and an invitation to a permanent and endless journey of learning, depicting, discovering the invisible, and trying to understand the unknown, the mystic.”

When he first exhibited his photographs in Naukchott, Mauritania, his art was well received by the public who were unaware that people stilled lived in the nomadic traditions depicted.

Ngawa’s first show in the United States was in January 2011 at the African Poetry Theater in Jamaica, Queens and he has since exhibited in numerous public and private spaces. His most recent exhibitions include Father Rayan

Arts Center Pittsburg, PA 2014, St. Peters Lutheran Church 2014, Shelter Rock Art Gallery 2014, Contemporary abstract art ‘I kan do that’ at Skylight Gallery 2014.

A member of the Long Island Black Artists Association, Ngawa participated in a group exhibit at the Kaiser Art Gallery in February 2014, at which he was awarded the Charles Winslow Memorial Award for Excellence in Art. The award was accompanied by a Solo Exhibition at Molloy’s Kaiser Art Gallery. Charles Winslow was one of the founding members of the Long Island Black Artists Association, begun in 1968 its mission to help the African American artist find a conduit for exhibiting their work.

There will be an opening reception on Saturday June 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. The public is invited to the opening and to meet the artist who will be in attendance.

The Frank and Gertrude Kaiser Art Gallery at Molloy College summer hours are Monday through Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed during the month of August.

Shields named middle school principal

Christopher Shields

At its business meeting on June 9, the Port Washington Union Free School District Board of Education appointed Christopher Shields as the new principal of Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School, effective July 1.

Shields replaces Marilyn Rodahan, who is retiring from the district after 25 years of working in education, the past 12 of which was spent in Port Washington.

Shields is well known to the Port Washington community, having served as the principal of South Salem Elementary School for the past 11 years. He was in charge of reopening South Salem in 2004 and successfully navigated staff, parents and students through that process.

Under Shields’ leadership, the school was designated a Reward

195th Anniversary

Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Anna Kaplan recently attended the 195th Anniversary of the Lakeville African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church with Pastor Reverend Norma D. Joseph and members of the congregation. The church, located on Community Drive in Manhasset, was founded in 1820 and now is preserved as a historic landmark.

School for three years by the New York State Education Department.

Prior to his position as principal at South Salem, Shields served as an assistant principal at Weber Middle School and at an elementary school in the William Floyd School District, and also worked as an elementary school teacher in both Glen Head and Great Neck.

“I am honored to be named the next principal of Weber Middle School,” Shields said. “I attended Weber as a student, my daughter has thrived there, and my youngest child is looking forward to attending the school. I feel like I have come full circle. Each of my roles has given me a broad perspective of the district and a clear understanding of what the community values. I

believe these experiences will be an asset and I look forward to continuing Weber’s longstanding tradition of excellence.”

“Mr. Shields brings a wealth of experience to the position of principal at Weber Middle School,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kathleen Mooney. “His leadership skills, knowledge of the district and ability to work well with teachers, parents and students make him the perfect candidate for this position.”

Shields is currently pursuing a doctorate in educational and policy leadership from Hofstra University.

He holds a Master of Arts in elementary education from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in government and law from Lafayette College.

G.N. teacher honored for fire safety B y A d a m L i d g e tt Paul Ziring said he has made it his mission a special education outdoor education coordinator with the Great Neck School District to better the lives of his students by teaching them fire prevention.

“It’s such an important life skill,” said Ziring, a Mineola resident. “And people call them ‘special needs’ but they’re just special.”

To do this, Ziring frequently takes his students in a bus he drives himself to the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Garden City For his efforts to teach special needs children fire safety, The Fireman’s Association of the State of New York awarded Ziring with its 2015 Teacher of the Year Award Thursday at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center.

Robert McConville, FASNY president, said the FASNY gets numerous applications for the award, but Ziring was the standout this year. He said because of Ziring’s efforts, awareness has been raised about fire prevention in general and for children with special needs.

“The work he does with special needs kids makes him stand out,” McConville said. “He has dedication. It’s every day with him; weekends, holidays.”

Ziring, who has been with the Great Neck School District since 1992, began running the Great Neck School District’s Special Education Outdoor Program in 2005. Since he has taken the helm, he has increased the program to include 15 groups of special education students.

He works with students in kindergarten through 12th grade, and also with a group of older students. As a special education teacher, he uses outdoor field exercises to help build his students’ confidence.

About three or four years ago, Ziring said he came into the museum to see if the programs they offered could help special needs children.

While the museum offered programs to help children learn fire safety, Ziring said, he wanted to simplify the program for children with special needs.

“We kind of said ‘what can we do to modify a program they already have here?’” Ziring said.

He partnered with the museum to improve and expand the

He said he simplified the program by shortening it and incorporating more visual learning aids, such as creating posters for the special needs students to learn about fire prevention and

knowing how to survive a home fire.

John Murray, chief instructor at the firefighter’s museum said children gravitate toward Ziring, even when he is disciplining them.

“The award is really difficult to win,” Murray said. “You have to be a special kind of guy who really goes out of his way, espe-

Ball raises $300K for Cancer Center for Kids The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop-University Hospital held its Ninth Annual Black and White Ball at Oheka Castle on April 30, an exquisite evening that raised more than $300,000 to benefit the CCFK’s essential psychosocial programs.

The evening began with a welcome from Gala Emcee Sophia Hall of WCBS News Radio before Ashley Carlo, manager at the CCFK, introduced a compelling new video, “6 Minutes at the CCFK,” to the packed house.

Dr. Mark Weinblatt, chief, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Director, Cancer Center for Kids, thanked everyone for their support and described the facility’s focus on superior medicine and the pursuit of new research opportunities.

The event honored Donna-Marie Korth, a philanthropist and partner at Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman LLP. Dr. Weinblatt presented MKorth with her award and praised her tireless dedication to giving back to the Center’s children and families.

“We can all agree that cancer and kids are two words you never want to hear in the same sentence,” remarked Korth in

her acceptance speech. “But by adding just a few other words and making it The Cancer Center For Kids, you have transformed what can be a very lonely and daunting experience into one that is challenging, but something entirely different in a most positive and supportive way.”

Dr. Weinblatt gave the CCFK’s first Youth Philanthropic Award to Eric Ramsay IV, a senior at Bay Shore High School, for his fundraising efforts on the CCFK’s behalf. He also recognized John and Tara Schmitt, founders of Charlie’s Champions Foundation, and John Buran, CEO and president of Flushing Bank, for their ongoing support and commitment to helping the CCFK, its patients and their families. In addition, The Parts Authority, whose April 2015 tradeshow raised $30,000 to benefit this CCFK event, was acknowledged for its exceptional generosity.

The CCFK, a member of the prestigious Children’s Oncology Group, is Nassau County’s largest outpatient facility for treating children with cancer and blood disorders. For more information about the CCFK, contact Ashley Carlo at (516) 663-9400 or visit www.winthrop.org/cck.

cially for the children.”

Ziring said he hopes the Fireman’s Association giving him he award with raise more awareness for his program.

“They need this for all children. What they’re doing here is what every fireman does,” Ziring said of the museum. “It’s a haven, it’s a treasure trove of information.”

The Long Island Satellite Seminar of the Holocaust Educators Network will focus on the lessons and legacies of the Holocaust and how they apply to student’s decision-making about social justice issues in their world today.

This seminar is designed to expand each participant’s current knowledge of the Holocaust and encourage new and innovative ways to teach this history.

Included will be writing activities, lesson plan development, Survivor and second generation testimony, and time in the HMTC museum.

Participants in this seminar will be introduced to a variety of literary and film resources and all will leave with a variety of teaching materials and strategies, many aligned to common core standards. There is no cost to attend this seminar but participants must pre-register.

All guests indulged in a funfilled evening of food, fun and fashion all designed to uplift the lifestyle of recovery and mindfulness living. There was something for everyone to support those in recovery by the way of accessories, gifts, jewelry and housewares.

For more than 59 years, LICADD has been Long Island’s premier non-profit agency providing life-saving alcohol and

drug prevention services to atrisk children, individuals, and families across the region.

With offices in Mineola, Ronkonkoma and Riverhead, LICADD conducts screenings, brief interventions, referrals to treatment and relapse prevention services to individuals and families impacted by substance abuse.

DSS forum to recruit foster care parents The County Department of Social Services (DSS) will be hosting its fifth Foster and Adoptive Recruitment Forum at the Long Island Children’s Museum located at 11 Davis Avenue in Garden City on Thursday, July 16 at 6 p.m.

Foster and adoptive parents as well as young adults who were in foster care will be part of a panel presentation.

In order to best meet the needs of children entering foster care, DSS recruits parents throughout Nassau County.

“It is imperative that we certify a large group of foster families to accommodate the cultural diversities of the children who enter foster care in our communities,” explained Maria Lauria, director of Children’s Services.

In Nassau County there are

currently 247 children in foster care. All Nassau County foster homes are certified through the DSS. Foster parents can be single, married, divorced, legally separated or living with a partner and must be 21 years or older.

“The County’s foster care program would be impossible without loving foster parents devoting themselves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to our youth,” added DSS Commissioner Dr. John Imhof. “Their dedication to our youth and families is tremendous.”

Anyone interested in fostering children should plan to attend the Recruitment Forum on Thursday, July 16. For more information on becoming a foster or adoptive parent, please contact Sandra Benitez at (516) 227-7613.

Dealertrack sold to Cox for $4 billion B y A d a m L i d g e tt Cox Automotive Inc. has agreed to acquire the Lake Success-based Dealertrack Technologies Inc. for $4 billion in cash, the companies announced Monday.

“We have long admired the Dealertrack team and its highly respected brands,” Cox Automotive president Sandy Schwartz said in a statement. “Integrating our platforms will be a big step forward in our shared vision of providing open, cost-effective and efficient solutions for dealers, lenders, manufacturers and consumers.”

The Atlanta-based Cox Automotive provides vehicle remarketing services and digital marketing and software solutions for the automotive industry, the company said. Some of its brands include Kelley Blue Book, Autotrader and vAuto.

The company, a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, employs nearly 24,000 people worldwide, it said in a statement.

“This provides a significant premium and immediate cash value for Dealertrack stockholders at closing,” said Mark O’Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of Dealertrack, in a statement. “After careful and thoughtful analysis, with the assistance of our independent legal and financial advisors, we concluded that this transaction provides our stockholders with the opportunity to tender their shares at a price that recognizes the superior value of Dealertrack’s industry partnerships, solutions, technology, financial management and international industry position.”

Dealertrack, offers webbased software services to the segments of the automotive industry, such as dealers, lenders, manufacturers and agents. It was founded in 2001 in Garden City, moving to Melville later that year.

In 2005, the company moved to Lake Success. The company employs about 3,500 people worldwide.

In August, the Nassau

David Doolittle, spokesperson for Cox Automotive, said the acquisition hasn’t changed plans to build the new offices, and that Dealertrack will continue to be headquartered in Lake Success.

He also said the companies do not plan to lay off workers.

“This is an investment in our customers and in the automotive Mark O’Neil industry,” Doolittle said. “[The merger] is about maintaining the Chairman and chief executive continuity of its business.” officer of Dealertrack Joseph Kearney, executive director of the county IDA, said the agency was not aware of County Industrial Development Dealertrack’s acquisition.

If Dealertrack does close the transaction, Kearney said, there would be a stipulation that Dealertrack remain in the area to get the benefits.

Officials said at the time the tax break was approved that the deal would inject more than $3 billion into Nassau County’s economy, create 357 jobs and retain 367 jobs for the Lake Success-based company, which would be moving its corporate headquarters to 3400 New Hyde Park Road.

Construction to the 233,000-square-foot building, to be built on a 9.7-acre property, would create 552 full-timeequivalent jobs during the twoyear project, officials said.

Business&RealEstate

Closings cost more than admission Does a movie theatre make a difference in a community?

Has your local theatre experienced a slowdown in traffic?

This appears to be happening all over the U.S. as well as locally.

Unless you have a multiplex theatre nearby, running 10-15 different movies weekly, the era of a small town theatre, may be coming to and end.

The switch over from 35 millimeter films to digital has pretty much put the nail in the coffin for a multitude of places with small venues due to the cost of conversion, which could run upwards of $65,000.

As of 2012, upwards of 1000+ small town theatres throughout the U.S, have not had the budget or the traffic to make the conversion.

In some instances they have had to resort to fundraisers and other methods to come up with the necessary dollars for the con-

version.

The larger multiplex venues had begun converting to the new digital media, starting in 2004.

All the new ones that are being built today are all digitally equipped.

This transition away from small-town theatres to larger venues or staying home and receiving entertainment via cable or other means, has surely hurt many locales and has decreased the foot traffic that a downturn receives to keep in vibrant and successful.

Movie theatres were intended to bring people out of their homes to socialize, eating out and potentially spending dollars in the stores nearby, assuming they stay open.

Many shops have closed earlier these days due to the cost of staying open and the lack of local patronage; because, now, going on the internet, is convenient

philip a. raices Real Estate Watch

and less costly (you don’t have to drive anywhere, losing time, wasting gas, etc.)

The benefit to many becomes the curse for the local stores.

A town without a movie theatre or some form of entertainment, that brings the masses out, is a town destined to have issues.

This will have an impact on

the commercial and residential properties and taxes could potentially rise if there are fewer stores rented or worse, abandoned.

However, many towns around Nassau County, like Great Neck, have promenades and concerts in their parks scheduled for the summer and fall months.

The following is one link to those events: http://www.shopgreatneck.com/events.php You can google your local town to see what is happening there this summer. This is one way the town provides venues for people, not only within the town but outside the town to come out and enjoy, while spending their much needed dollars in local establishments.

The Business Improvement District in the Village of Great Neck Plaza as well as the Village of Great Neck, helps put together these events.

So, as we lose more small movie theatres in downtowns, the local governments have been coming up with other things to experience for their residents.

This will hopefully gain some momentum and reduce and minimize the negative impact of these losses.

Oh and by the way, when a town’s commercial corridor shrinks or has more spaces available for rent and the town has less things to enable people to come out for, away from their computers and T.V.s, there will be a greater impact on real estate values.

This can be seen in some towns on Long Island, but there are those that are going through an amazing rebirth and transformation through government and private money and are being rebuilt and are coming back.

Hopefully, with at least a multiplex theater nearby.

Popular teacher will not return: officials

Continued from Page 1 “I’m confident we can continue to provide the level of service we have in terms of working with teachers and the children and their families,” said Allison Rushforth, Manhasset’s director of special education.

Rushforth said in light of Goldstein-Calderon’s recent certification in teaching students with visual impairments, Manhasset no longer needed to continue its contract with Oyster Bay-East Norwich.

As part of their annual

agreements, Goldstein-Calderon taught part-time with Oyster Bay-East Norwich while Probst spent half the school day in Manhasset.

In 2015-16, GoldsteinCalderon’s position will be considered full-time.

“I really like that the teacher is here, it’s our person, she’s dedicated to Manhasset, she’s here every day. That’s a great thing, to have a person in-house all the time,” said Carlo Prinzo, the Manhasset Board of Education’s vice president whose son took

special education courses for visual impairment as a student in the district.

“I feel there’s a lot of benefit to where this goes,” Prinzo added. “I assure you, we wouldn’t be bringing someone onboard to do this who is unqualified to do this.”

Manhasset School District student Stephen Murphy said Probst has done “an outstanding job” in assisting him and that “I always feel like she’s there for me.”

“If I was having trouble, I

could send her an email,” he said. “It was like she was with me all the time. You know how email is these days, it’s almost as fast as texting.”

Stephen’s father, Paul Murphy, said Probst had “gone the extra mile for all her students” and “had gotten great reviews and marks from everybody.”

“I don’t see why she needs to be replaced,” he said. “It must be a politics or money [issue]. I’m just curious in why she’s not going to be here next year.”

Rushforth said the special

education department could consider consulting with Probst next year if any of her former students have issues in working with Goldstein-Calderon.

“I can definitely understand where the parents and students are coming from, because Tressa’s done a tremendous job and I can appreciate what their concern is,” she said. “But I am confident Allison will be able to meet their needs.”

IDA to submit revised data to state comptroller Continued from Page 1 think there were inaccuracies, would I?” Brian Butry, a spokesman for the state comptroller’s office, said it is not uncommon for IDAs to report inaccurate data it then updates later in the year.

He said the state comptroller’s office publishes figures submitted by the local agencies in its annual audit but noted it does format the numbers using Microsoft Excel to “make it readable for the public.”

“It wouldn’t surprise me that there were some numbers they would find contradictory to what they had on hand,” Butry said of the Nassau IDA. “Our numbers are only as good as what we’re given from the IDAs.” Kearney’s remarks came

about a week after Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos wrote in a letter to Kearney that the Nassau IDA should reconsider its job creation strategies, saying the agency tends to support too many small-scale projects without the opportunity for extensive job growth.

“The [Nassau County Industrial Development Agency] plays an important role in ensuring that our county remains competitive within the region by maintaining and attracting new jobs,” Maragos wrote. “It is disappointing that we have fallen behind in these critical areas.”

Though Maragos said in his letter the IDA planned to resubmit its data by Monday, it is unclear whether the agency would file its figures to the county or

state comptroller’s office. Kearney said the Monday deadline in the letter was “not correct.”

New York’s industrial development agencies granted more than $660 million in net tax exemptions in 2013 — about $105 million more than in 2012 — but generated 199,943 jobs, 23,000 less than in the previous year, according to the report.

In a statement accompanying his annual report, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli acknowledged the significance of industrial development agencies as a means of generating economic development but said local governments should increase oversight on applications “so that taxpayers know if their community is receiving promised jobs and economic benefits.”

Nassau’s IDA recouped just 37 percent of the $69 million approved in overall exemptions through payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements with businesses, less than the 59 percent recovered by Suffolk and 67 percent

by Westchester.

The Nassau IDA was found to have granted $23,611 in net exemptions per job, more than 10 times the state median, according to the report, which the state comptroller’s office found to be $2,095 per job gained.

A Nassau IDA spokesman said in a statement following the report’s release that the agency’s 2013 figures were considered an outlier from its typical performance data due to its efforts in assisting businesses affected by Superstorm Sandy.

In 2012, the Nassau IDA netted 16,996 jobs at a $2,250 exemptions per job clip, according to the state comptroller’s office, and In 2011, Nassau had a net of 8,186 jobs and granted $3,034 in exemptions per job.

Butry said it is possible that the 2013 figures were skewed

by Sandy recovery, citing similar disparities in sales tax revenues from separate audits following Sandy and 2011’s Hurricane Irene.

“We know the impact Sandy had downstate and on the island, that there were issues with the recovery, and it would not be surprising if the IDAs reached out to provide benefits in response to that,” he said.

Study says harbor healthy despite poor grade Continued from Page 13 Harbor received better grades in these areas than would have been possible under previous testing.”

The findings come roughly two weeks after the Nassau County Legislature selected Dvirka and Bartilucci to spearhead a feasibility study for sewage managent options across

the North Shore in communities near Hempstead Harbor that are not protected by public sewage systems, among them Glen Head, Glenwood Landing, Flower Hill, Roslyn Harbor, Sands Point and Sea Cliff.

Private septic systems are thought to be responsible for the contamination that closed Crescent Beach in Glen Cove in

2009 and ended shell fishing in the area.

About 10 percent of Nassau County residences are not connected to public sewers, according to county statistics, but 70 percent of private sewers are located on the North Shore.

Untreated water containing bacteria and nitrogen — which in the past was believed to be

naturally absorbed into the soil — has been known to make its way into nearby bays and aquifers due to high ground water levels, changes in ground water movement and poorly-designed septic systems, county officials have said.

“I am pleased that the county is moving forward with this important study. This study will

give homeowners and sewer districts the tools to make appropriate decisions,” Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggiWhitton (D-Glen Cove) said in a statement last week. “I look forward to working with the mayors to use the information determined by this study to protect the harbor and aquifer.”

Water tower work to begin July 1 Continued from Page 2 rosion and deterioration.

Based on recent analysis and testing, officials have said, the tower would have to undergo major rehabilitation in the next few years or be replaced completely.

Manhasset-Lakeville held two public hearings on the project last year, after which the district decided to move forward with the construction.

The current tank would remain in operation while the new tank is built 50 feet away. Two other buildings located on the water district’s property would be demolished and modifications would be made to the

existing driveway at the site. A new fence around the perimeter would also be constructed.

Manhasset-Lakeville officials have said the tower’s reconstruction was part of a five-year capital plan set to begin in 2015 or 2016, but was accelerated in 2013 after the water district agreed to remove a communications antenna that was put up on the Munsey Park property with what residents said was insufficient notice.

Granger said the project’s costs increased due to litigation with the Village of Munsey Park concerning municipal oversight of the construction, as well as unforseen

labor costs, higher contracting bids than anticipated and an additional $80,000 incurred for risk protection for the surrounding neighborhood.

“When it comes to these specialty structure, there’s only four companies that specialize in these types of things and only three that come east of the Mississippi [River],” he said. “...What has happened since the time of the original estimates [is] the economy has changed significantly for municipal entities and there’s a real demand for the replacement of aging infrastructure.”

Village officials, including those from Munsey Park and Flower Hill,

said the presentation was the first meeting in which they were notified of specific logistical details about the project.

Munsey Park Trustee Frank DeMento, who was the village’s mayor when the project was first introduced, said water district officials who sought re-election on platforms including increased transparency with municipalities about upcoming projects, have declined to participate in meetings with the village and other elected officials in recent months.

“So shame on us for voting for you,” he said.

Martins honors Manhasset girls soccer Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) recently congratulated the Manhasset High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team on winning the 2014 Nassau County Conference Class AB-2 Championship. Martins presented the team with copies of a legislative resolution he sponsored, which was passed by the Senate, honoring their accomplishment. With passage of the resolution, the team’s achievement will forever be part of the New York State Senate’s official record. “The Manhasset Girls Soccer Team completed one of their best seasons ever, culminating with this championship,” Martins said. “The players and coaches have every reason to be proud of their efforts. Congratulations to them on a great season. Martins (second right) is pictured with Manhasset School District Superintendent Charles Cardillo, Manhasset High School Principal Dr. Dean Schlanger, Athletic Director James Amen, Head Coach Chris Keen and members of the Manhasset High School Girls Varsity Soccer Team.

Cosmo draw Armada to lock up spring season crown The New York Cosmos were crowned NASL Spring Season champions after a 3-3 draw with the Jacksonville Armada Saturday night cemented the team’s undefeated league record so far in 2015.

The Cosmos got on the board early when forward Raúl caught Jacksonville goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo off of his line with a 40-yard lob. Raúl controlled with his chest and hit a left-footed shot on net off the bounce. As Gallardo scrambled back to his goal, the shot rang the crossbar and deflected off the Jacksonville keeper into his own net, giving the Cosmos a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute.

New York continued to press and nearly added another minutes later, but Adam Moffat’s cross off the counter-attack slid just past an outstretched Sebastian Guenzatti at the back post.

Controlling much of the run of play, the Cosmos were rewarded with a second goal in the 26th minute.

Midfielder Danny Szetela played a great ball over the Armada defense that found forward Hagop Chirishian breaking through. Chirishian used his first touch to flick the ball over the keeper and his sec-

ond to find the back of the net.

It was a big moment for Chirishian, who has struggled with injuries this season and spent some time with the B-side.

Needing just a draw to clinch the NASL spring title, New York was in the driver’s seat heading into the locker room with a two-goal lead.

But Jacksonville came out of the break much more aggressive than in the first half, and cut the deficit to one in the 59th minute. Pascal Millien played a quick give-and-go with Jemal Johnson at the top of the box, splitting the Cosmos defense.

Millien moved in on goal and beat Jimmy Maurer low to score the Armada’s first goal in four matches.

Millien wasn’t done there, as the Haitian international tallied his second of the night 15 minutes later. The Jacksonville striker fired home to level the score at two.

With Jacksonville pressing for a third goal, it was Lucky Mkosana who gave the Cosmos a late lead. David Diosa ran down the left wing and threw in a cross to a streaking Mkosana, who poked it past Gallardo in the 86th minute.

The supporters at Shuart Stadium

“To win it in front of the fans was were on their feet as it looked like the Cosmos were nearing a win, but in the special,” Mendes said. “I think we have 89th minute Jacksonville’s Joseph Toby some of the best fans in the league, the volleyed home a corner. support matters and obviously we do well More than 7,300 supporters celebrat- at home.
