ANEWMAN@ANTONNEWS.COM

While local public officials praised the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation plans for continued remediation at the

contaminated site at 1111 Marcus Avenue in Lake Success and its plan to further protect residents from the contaminated water plume that has advanced northward past the Northern State Parkway and on to Great Neck School District property,

several speakers at the public meeting last week at Great Neck South Middle School had misgivings about the department’s plans saying that they didn’t go far enough or fast enough.

GIRLS from page 1 girls between the ages of five and nine. “I wanted girls to develop a strong sense of self, to have confidence in themselves and to learn what that looks like for them from a young age,” she explained. These empowerment classes focus on the mind as well as the body. “The thoughts that we choose to feed our minds are equally important as the foods that we choose to nourish our bodies with,” said Pourmoradi. On the mind side, the workshops allow the girls to understand their power to control their thoughts and internally make their lives better. On the body side, Pourmoradi talks about the foods that the girls put into their bodies. At the end of each session, Pourmoradi sets up a fruit and vegetable bar and teaches the girls how to juice. Then they get to make their own juicing recipes. Since she started holding these workshops in January, Pourmoradi runs about one session per month. No two sessions are alike; every workshop holds a different message for the girls. She makes sure her classes have a positive atmosphere, and are exciting and lively in order to keep the

young girls entertained. “All the moms are always telling me that the girls can’t wait to come back,” said Pourmoradi. “It doesn’t feel like work, and it doesn’t feel like they’re learning, but they are.” Every time 6-year-old Ava Faraz attends a workshop, she can’t wait to go back, according to her mother, Natalie Faraz, a Great Neck resident. “Melody has a great way with kids where she can draw them in and engage them,” she said. In each workshop, the girls create different crafts that illustrate the theme of the particular session, whether it is gratitude, visualization, or confidence. One craft that the girls was a Gratitude Jar, a large mason jar that each girl decorates to her own taste. The idea is to start each day by writing down what you are thankful for, and put it into the jar. “I think it’s been really good because it teaches her to appreciate what she has,” said Faraz. “It helps her focus on the fundamental important things in life.” It was her own two daughters, 8-year-old twins Ella and Noa, who inspired Pourmoradi to develop workshops for other young girls.

GREAT NECK RECORD - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

First Day Of Summer Two-year-old Great Neck resident Emma Perreault celebrated the first day of summer at the Old Westbury Garden’s Midsummer Weekend on Saturday, June 21. Dancers from the Lori Belilove and The Isadora Duncan Dance Company dressed in Greek, Roman and Renaissance-themed tunics and danced to relaxing music around the gardens. With the gardens in full bloom and decorated in lanterns and fairies, little Emma enjoyed an enchanted evening under the stars.

PLUME from page 1 Lake Success Mayor Ronald S. Cooper was the first to speak after presentations by the DEC’s Girish Desai, Jim Harrington and the Board of Health’s Renata Ockerby on the proposal to contain the offsite contamination and the changes proposed for treatment at the Marcus Avenue site. “We, along with our consultants, believe that the plume poses no current health hazards to our residents,” Cooper continued. “We have concluded…that this (the proposal) is an acceptable step. We have waited 17 years to come to this point and I believe that it is not in the best interests of the community to wait any longer.” Several times during the three-hour meeting residents were assured by company representatives or officials that the current water supply was safe and that there was no danger from any toxins that might be emanating from 1111 Marcus. But some were not impressed. Lake Success resident Carol Bernstein, who has lived in the village since 1980, was extremely critical of the DEC’s plans. She charged that the original plan enacted was chosen by the DEC

because it was the least expensive. “All these years later I’m sitting here and hearing ‘we’ll choose option no. 2 because it’s cheaper.’ I see in all of this it’s only economics that’s going on.” The plan that the DEC favors is estimated to cost $32 million dollars. Other plans could run from $55 million to as much as $97 million. Former Mayor Robert Bernstein wondered why the plan wasn’t more extensive and didn’t include the building of an additional full water treatment plant. He also expressed concern that numerous inactive wells in Queens might be reactivated by New York City and make cleanup more difficult. Cooper, who has been involved as a trustee and mayor for 16 years, said other more extensive and expensive proposals had been considered by the DEC but he felt that those other proposals would take more time and could pose infrastructure issues. The DEC is accepting public comments about the proposals until July 14 (see end of story). Cooper also requested that the DEC include in its final plan provisions that Lake Success be continually informed of the effectiveness of water protections and given full access to all reports.

The site of the original contamination was used by Unisys Corporation for manufacturing from 1941 to 1995, and was subsequently owned by Lockheed Martin Corporation, which has accepted financial responsibility. Cooper requested that Lockheed Martin reimburse the village for its costs in using consultants. The proposal for offsite treatment includes 1) continuing the groundwater extraction system already in place on Great Neck School property since 2006, 2) installing an additional extraction well at 1111 Marcus to increase the amount of water treated and 3) establishing procedures to insure that drinking-water standards are maintained. Modifications to the arrangements made in 1997 include provisions to monitor intrusions in any new construction and stricter controls over how the site may be used in the future. During the years that Unisys operated, chemicals were disposed of through a system of drywells. The resulting contamination continues to spread to the northwest, and has already reached past the Long Island Expressway. Lockheed Martin no longer owns the property (individual buinesses now occupy the spaces)

WHO DOES but continues to work cooperatively with the DEC. Sitting on the panel at the meeting were three representatives from the environmental consulting firm of Arcadis U.S., hired by Lockheed Martin, which also sent representatives. Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel also spoke in support of the proposed plan. “I hope that this becomes a model for the rest of the state and for the rest of the country,” she said. County Legislator Ellen Birnbaum, a former director of the Water Authority of Great Neck North, said, “I’m very happy that we now have a plan that seems to be very workable.” SenatorJack Martins was the final speaker. Acknowledging many residents’ unhappiness over how long the project has taken and whether or not the proposals were comprehensive enough, he said, “I think everyone in this room wishes that this had been done 17 years earlier, but this is a step in the right direction.” Public comments about the proposals are still welcome by the DEC until July 14 and can be sent to gvdesai@ gw.dec.state.ny.us.

Antique Fire Truck Muster The Great Neck, Manhasset and Lakeville Fire departments were joined by North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth at the 21st annual Apparatus Show and Muster on June 21 at Mary Jane Davies Green Park in Manhasset. The event welcomed local fire departments to display their antique trucks for all to see. Pictured (l. to r.): Manhasset-Lakeville Ex-Captain Frank Bridges, Alert Fire Department Trustee Thomas Madigan, Alert Fire Department’s John Motchkavitz and Supervisor Judi Bosworth aboard Alert Fire Department’s restored American LaFrance Truck.

Honoring Holocaust Survivor and LI Students Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) sponsored a Day of Remembrance in Nassau County to reflect and recognize the work of youth in creating a more civil society. Close to 300 persons attended the event, held at the Hofstra University Monroe Lecture Hall, in partnership with Nassau County’s State Senate delegation and Nassau County’s State Assembly Delegation.

Schimel welcomed her legislative colleagues, the parents, and honored students to the annual event. Her remarks began with a quote from Anne Frank. “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart … Everybody has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is.”

The students were nominated by their schools to recognize their projects which included organizing events with SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving), UNICEF, Big Brother, Big Sister, houses of worship, and school newspapers. Davis Newman, JCRC-LI executive director, talked about how inspiring it was to be in a room with young adults who are committed to do good deeds. The Long island Chapter of the JCRC

reaches out to educate and continue building relationships to help unite our communities. Nassau County resident and holocaust survivor Alex Konstantyun was also honored. He shared his moving tale of survival. Rabbi Todd Chizner of Temple Judea in Manhasset recited the memorial prayer before six lit yahzreit candle to remember the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

attaining a BS in Physics. He then began a career in engineering and manufacturing, serving as vice president of two firms. He has six patents to his name. His son Ralph told the Great Neck Record that his dad “rarely talked about the concentration camp.” It was only in later years that Segalowitz began to “tell his story,” occasionally opening up to others, including an interview with the Record many years ago. Working quietly, he was a board member of the Tietz Nursing Home in Queens, a facility dedicated to serving Holocaust survivors and he also served on the board of the National Association of Child Holocaust Survivors. During that interview with the Record, Segalowitz spoke of his

bitterness towards other survivors who would not use their talents or their names to help raise funds for fellow survivors. And while Ralph lovingly spoke of how he and his father spent so much time together, sailing and biking, he said that his father was the one always planning special family times with Ralph and his children and Eugenie and her children. “He was a one-of-a-kind guy,” said Ralph Segalowitz. “We had a very good childhood.” Ivar was an active community participant, first as a strong Allenwood advocate and then as park commissioner, a post he held from 2003 to 2011. Park District friends will remember him as a very active participant in all Park District

facilities and programs. As an avid sailor, he was often at Steppingstone Marina. You would have been likely to have spotted him bike riding through Great Neck or perhaps you would have seen him speed-skating at the ice rink. He also loved hiking and cross-country skiing in Kings Point Park. With his strong mandate for this park position, fellow commissioners said that he “helped bring a tremendous engineer’s perspective, leading the district into undertaking a major co-generation project at Parkwood,” which resulted in great energy-saving costs. Segalowitz served as grand marshal for the annual Great Neck Memorial Day Parade in May 2011. He was indeed a “grand man.”

commissioner for the Great Neck Park District. Segalowitz and his wife, Bernice, married for 60 years, moved to Great Neck in 1964 and raised their children Ralph and Eugenie in the community. A Holocaust survivor, Ivar was born in Lithuania and lived through the horrors of World War II. A child survivor of Dachau, Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he was eventually liberated by Patton’s Army. In 1947 he emigrated to the United States, living in New York City and working as a tool and die-maker, machine designer and manufacturing executive. A U.S. veteran of the Korean War, he married Bernice and went on to study (nights at CUNY),

Temple Israel Teens Learn Leadership

Great Neck

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BY MARC KATZ

GREATNECK@ANTONNEWS.COM

Designed to cultivate leadership skills and a commitment to community building among teens, a new program at Temple Israel of Great Neck’s Waxman High School and Youth House recently saw 24 eighth and ninth grade teens participate in a weekend retreat in Glen Cove. Called TILT, or Temple Israel Leadership Teens, the retreat at the Glen Cove Mansion allowed students to bond while discussing strengthening their Hebrew High School as well as their community at large. Utilizing group activities, team-building exercises, and text study about differing models of Jewish leadership, Danny Mishkin, the congregation’s director of the Waxman High School and Teen Engagement, and Rabbi Seth Adelson encouraged the students from Great Neck North and South middle and high schools to get to know each other better and unify around a shared purpose.

THE WEEKEND - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

A Volunteer’s Story: Anna Tu Tran BY ARIELLE SASSON

GREATNECK@ANTONNEWS.COM

(Editor’s Note: Arielle Sasson is a college student. Two summers ago, she had what she terms “the amazing opportunity to participate on an Operation Smile medical mission as a journalist.” Her main task was to capture the heartbreaking stories of patients on the mission through writing, photographs and video. This is the second of her stories.) As I walked into the child life room after a long day of interviewing patients, I spotted a woman dressed in dark purple scrubs. Crouching on the floor in front of a tiny child, the woman was stroking the child’s tearstreaked face, talking to him softly in Vietnamese. As I inched closer, I noticed that the boy slowly began to breathe normally, calming down as he cuddled in the woman’s arms. Anna Tu Tran, the child life specialist, was known for spreading her compassion, love, and contagious laughter to everyone on our mission. After participating on her first Operation Smile mission to Cambodia last year, Anna fell in love with the organization. As a longtime employee at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA, Anna was prepared to care for and prepare the patients

Volunteer Anna Tu Tran, with a young patient. for surgery at her second mission in Nghe An, Vietnam. Throughout her life, Anna has been particularly involved in her rich Vietnamese background. As a youth church group leader in her Vietnamese community for 10 years, Anna has found many opportunities to connect to her beautiful culture

and learn how to keep her language alive. When Anna first became a volunteer with Operation Smile, her primary goal was to travel to her parents’ hometown in Vietnam, Nghe An. Our mission to Nghe An was so special to her because she was finally able to use the Vietnamese language to reach

GNR

out to her people despite economic barriers. She was able to help them immensely with her cultural knowledge and her skills in child life. Vietnamese patients and volunteers naturally gravitated towards Anna as a source of empathy and kindness, and often openly appreciated her efforts. Indeed, Anna made a special connection with the people of her parents’ hometown as she was finally able to give back to those who may live in an impoverished socioeconomic state, as her parents did when they used to lived in Nghe An. Anna noted that it is crucial for more child life specialists to volunteer on missions with Operation Smile. By reaching out to the global community, “child life specialists can educate others in the child life field that many are not totally knowledgeable of. We need to show more people that child life is beneficial and important for family health.” Providing child life on missions has also brought a new kind of joy to Anna. She has been amazed by the level of appreciation that patients and families have for mission volunteers and what the volunteers bring for them. Anna elaborated on this when she said, “Operation Smile reminds me that small things in life can bring enormous joy to those who have little to none.”

Great Neck Scout Troop 10 celebrates the year’s end with a barbecue.

Scout Troop 10 Completes Busy Year Great Neck’s Scout Troop 10 celebrated the completion of its’ 99th year of outdoor activity and community service with a Court of Honor BBQ at Kings Point Park on June 16. Attended by Scouts, leaders, parents, siblings and friends, the Court of Honor recognized the accomplishments and rank advancement of all

the boys. Over the past 10 months the scouts completed several overnight campouts, including stays at Alpine Scout Camp along the Hudson River, backpacking in Harriman State Park, and the “Bluenose” winter camp excursion in upstate Onteora Scout Reservation, and the annual rafting trip down the Lehigh

River in Pnnsylvania. Community service projects included providing color guards for local community ceremonies and parking control for Installation ceremonies at North Shore Presbyterian Church. The end of one scout year signifies the start of another: the Troop is preparing for its summer encampment at the end of

July at Onteora Scout Reservation in upper New York state. Families interested in joining the Scouting adventure are invited to e-mail Scoutmaster Dr. Dwight Rosenstein at djrosenstein@gmail. com, or visit the Troop web site at www.troop10greatneck.freeservers. com.

| EDITORIAL School Is Out — Please Drive Carefully School is out and there are a lot more children and young people out and about all day long. Little children playing outside, older ones skate boarding and riding bikes, and young people of all ages walking to and from town — they are very visible during summer days and summer evenings. And while Great Neck is often praised as a very nurturing, very safe, community, there are definitely dangers out there on the roads. All year long, but particularly during the warm, sunny months, we hear too many complaints about dangerous driving. It’s a “hot” topic of conversation around the office and at home too. Over

and over again, we hear tales of reckless driving and rude, inconsiderate drivers, those who love to double-park and the many drivers who refuse to use handsfree cell phone devices while driving. Of course all of these drivers are engaging in some type of illegal driving, but we are at a loss as to what will stop those drivers who apparently just choose not to follow the law. We urge everyone to please drive with care and please, please follow the law on all counts. Arriving a few minutes late never killed anyone; but disregarding traffic laws while you rush has claimed many, many lives. And please, please, do remember to watch out for the children when you drive! — Wendy Karpel Kreitzman

| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Norman Wheeler Norman Wheeler is retiring after 51 years of service as a social studies teacher, 46 of which were at Great Neck South High School. Approximately 4,000 students have benefitted from his instruction. That in itself is a major contribution to society. For the past 40 years, over 900 students have taken his “Integration of Knowledge” course, which requires a demanding, scholarly understanding of the history of Western thought as it applies to American culture and the students’ lives. The students read and analyze 28 works written by political philosophers, historians, and statesmen— from Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; to Plutarch and Cicero; to Hobbes and Locke; to Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton; to Adam Smith and Karl Marx—that formed the foundations of modern political theory. As editorial advisor to The Southerner, South’s student newspaper, he accomplished the difficult task of creating a paper in which he both encouraged students’ critical thought and imbued in each student the importance of choosing words that reflect care and concern for the common good of the school community. In effect, his stewardship of the

paper demonstrated to the students his application of the theories of justice in the Western world. Perhaps the best summation of Mr. Wheeler’s teaching career is found in the “Integration of Knowledge” course’s culminating activities,` which ask the students to show that they have understood the difference between Aristotle’s definition of “leisure” and “amusement” by listing how they spent their free time every day for the year they took the course. His last direction to the students, as part of what he calls “the final exam for the rest of your life,” is to “go home, look in the mirror, and see if you can discover who is primarily responsible for making the United States a more just society, and where do you think the pursuit of justice must begin?” Thank you, Norm Wheeler. William A. Shine

Ivar Segalowitz Recently, we in Great Neck lost a unique public servant. Ivar Segalowitz served for many years as a commissioner of the Great Neck Park District with intelligence and integrity. For me, he was a mentor and teacher when I succeeded him on the board of the Park District. I will be ever grateful

for his knowledge and help. Ivar and Bernice chose Great Neck as their home, raised their children here and enjoyed the parks and the marina. However, Ivar, gave back more to our community then he received. The most important things we leave when we pass are the memories we created for our family and friends. Ivar’s memories will be cherished by many. I will remember his booming voice, with a slight accent, but most importantly of all, his humanity. I will miss him. Dan Nachmanoff

Paying It Forward As a teacher, I am keenly aware of teachable moments: that perfect minute when something happens and you stop what you are doing and actually make a meaningful connection to your students. As Lakeville’s SEEK teacher, my fourth and fifth grade writing students create a literary magazine. Our Lakeville Literary Pen and its production each year is an arduous, but rewarding experience. Each year a select group from the fifth grade opt to be editors. They edit pieces, work on creating a roster, look for meaningful quotes to relate to our theme and use sophisticated

technical skills to create a graphic cover title pages. And so as tradition dictates, I invite them to join me for pizza. Eleven of us entered Centre Pizza on Horace Harding Boulevard on June 19. And as we sat down a gentlemen, seeing that some students were wearing Lakeville Tee shirt asked. “Oh, Lakeville students?” I replied, “yes”. Sometime during the meal, our waiter handed me a paper and a generous amount of money. The paper reads: “Courtesy of a 1967 graduate.” I am astounded. The children clapped and clapped in amazement. I asked the waiter to show me the gentlemen but he was gone and no one has his name. As part of my role as an educator, I am the chairperson of our school’s Tolerance Committee. We work tirelessly to promote kindness and respect. Today, this unique group of students witnessed just that. No doubt they will remember this evening forever. I know I will. To the gentlemen from the class of 1967, We thank you, we honor you and we will pay it forward. Andrea Kay, SEEK teacher, Lakeville Elementary School

My Grandfather’s Last Thoughts Editor’s note: Michael Pevsner of Massapequa Park recently earned first place in Anton Community Newspapers and Cockpit USA’s essay contest about military heroes. Pevsner submitted the following essay about his grandfather, Private First Class Harold Hibler, who served in WWII, in the Army’s 101st Infantry. Hibler was a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge and received a Purple Heart for his actions. Hibler was discharged in 1945. He passed away on Aug. 23, 2008. My grandfather’s last thoughts could have been...of shrieking bullets overhead and seeing his young comrades so alive one moment, covered in blood the next during the Battle of the Bulge. It could have been leaving school at so early an age, taking any job to earn what wages he could to support his family during the Great Depression. It could have been of his private war with heart disease, finally succumbing after a valiant struggle. I hope, however, that my grandfather’s last thoughts were of the family he created and the loving legacy he left us all. Harold Hibler, PFC, was a man of integrity, hard work, and thrift. A decorated war hero who survived the Battle of the Bulge, went on to work his entire life, and still found time for his family. A man whose biggest desire in the world was to see his children and grandchildren receive the education that he did not have the chance to get, and to see them benefit from his lifetime of dedicated work. One who is remembered as a role model, a man whom I am proud to call my grandfather. One of my grandfather’s core values was hard work. As a child of the Depression, and a man who constantly worked from the age of 18, until he was 83, at jobs ranging from selling papers in the streets of Brooklyn, to owning a gas station supply shop in Queens. He held a serious work ethic in the highest regard, and that was not lost on me. He encouraged me to challenge myself and not waste a moment, goals I am reaching now by maintaining grades in four AP classes, working two jobs, and devoting countless hours of my time to my school’s Key Club; organizing events, collecting money for UNICEF, ringing the Salvation Army bell in December and running my

school’s Key Club website. All of these things gave my grandfather pride in me, and continue to give me pride in myself. My grandfather took me to work with him in Queens all of the time; more recently, he congratulated me on my first official job, at Massapequa News. Shortly after that, he called me from the hospital, while he had his own matters to deal with, to congratulate me on getting yet another job, at CVS. The last material object I showed my grandfather was my first pay stub from CVS. Never have I seen anyone smile as brightly. Another virtue my grandfather bestowed upon me was that of prudence. Again, as he was a child of the Depression-era, waste was not tolerable in his house. He firmly believed that one man’s refuse was another’s treasure, and on my own scavenger hunts through his basement, I have found vintage designer clothes, license plates, car parts, tools and even a portable record player, most of which he saved from the misfortune of spending eternity in a landfill. He was more resourceful than a Hollywood spy, and I inherited that sense. I have always followed after him in being careful not to throw away something that can be useful a second time, especially if that something can bring back memories or be resold as a collectible. One of my hobbies is collecting sneakers; my grandfather always wanted to see me sell a pair of rare sneakers for more than what I paid. Looking now at the values of some sneakers that I have accumulated, if I had the heart to part with a pair, I could do just that, turn my sneaker collection into an investment. Beyond that, among my most treasured possessions are random little journals and notebooks that my grandfather got as souvenirs from stores, business contacts, and promotions, each signed “love always”, that now house both memories of him and my written words spanning from the moment I was able to write, to present day. My grandfather was, and still is, a role model. The things I hold closest to my heart are the wealth of memories I have of him and the lessons and characteristics he passed on to me.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

WORD FIND Try r your luck ry

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s so much going on this week that you may feel as though maintaining your possessions just takes too much of your time. Do it anyway. Neat and clean environs reinforce the mindset that you’ve got your act together. Your responsible attitude makes you attractive and successful.

Solution: 9 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your fantasy life is strong, and you could spend a good deal of energy building castles in the air. You can’t live in them, but some of the ideas are practical enough to apply once you touch back down to Earth. A healthy balance means allowing yourself to dream but commanding yourself to take practical steps, as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week shows you in an ambitious mood, and you’ll require much of yourself. Of course, it’s difficult to make big things happen if you are distracted by every enticement along the way. Because you’re after the larger experiences of life, you feel the need to bring your lower appetites into control. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This week you have something that really needs to be accomplished and a message to match the task. There will be no such thing as over-communicating it. To keep yourself and everyone around you on purpose, repeat yourself often. Find new ways to say it. With constant communication, you will get there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Empowering talk leads to exciting developments in a relationship. Things really are getting better. Practice describing your experience, feelings and needs. Avoid claiming that another person is “driving you crazy” or “making you mad.” The more responsibility you can take for your own state the better off you’ll be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mightiest warrior knows that battling isn’t the only way to victory. Some of the best victories are handed over. Negotiation would be better in this week’s case, but if you must go to the mat, offer your opponent nothing to resist, and there won’t be much of a fight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll gladly deliver good news. As for the bad news, you might leave it for someone else to tell — or not — hoping that by ignoring it, depriving it of your breath and attention, it will somehow disappear. Sometimes this method works! At least if you focus yourself on the positive there will be far less room for the negative. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have a knack for speaking in the vernacular most appropriate to your company this week, and you’ll be around many types. There is a Malayan proverb that goes, “Trumpet in a herd of elephants; crow in the company of cocks; bleat in a flock of goats.” You’ll do it all! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The way you feel about a loved one is similar to the way you feel about music. You know there is meaning there, but the meaning is beyond words. Go ahead and try putting it into words anyway. Your loved one will benefit from knowing that your affections run deep. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re on the fast track. Creativity is flowing, and your social network is growing. Pretty soon you won’t be able to tell the difference between your business relationships and your social relationships. Pool resources with family, colleagues and friends. You’ll get there faster getting there together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel somewhat depleted at the start of the week, but don’t worry. The well of joy inside you hasn’t dried up; it’s just that you can’t reach it with a broken rope. New tools are needed. Where will you find them? Almost anywhere you look. Your intention to be happy will lead to many fortuitous discoveries.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS Before you make any radical changes, ask yourself, “Is this something I can do for the rest of my life?” Permanent changes will be life enhancing, while committing to something short term will be more effort than it’s worth. An August business endeavor is a win as long as you don’t break your own investment rules. October brings a fortuitous meeting, and romance will sweep into your life. January endeavors require heart, faith and sweat, but they will be some of your best times this year. COPYRIGHT 2014 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are devoted and true, and yet there is something inside you that is weary from doing the right thing. Being good doesn’t always feel good. You’ll start to wonder whether there’s such a thing as being too good. The malaise you feel is a sign that you need a break. Demand less of yourself this week.

Arnold Standard represents you before the NYS Workers' Compensation Board and/or US and NYS Department of Labor, to settle penalties which have been imposed --- for a fraction of the original amounts. Our work also includes performing a review of the circumstances prior to lodging the correct appeal. We achieve closure at the local level WITHOUT referral for FICA correction. Our initial consultation with you is conducted without any charge. New York State is going back up to SIX YEARS & assessing major penalties for the above subjects. This happens when you have classiﬁed people as Independent Contractors & individuals have been treated as self-employed, or there has been a lapse in coverage. Frequently, there are minimum wage and/or overtime considerations because of time and attendance record keeping errors. We manage the entire process from ﬁeld audit through the appeal phase with the Department. Our record in this area is excellent, and there is no upfront cost, because we are only paid after we save you money.

A fellow in his late 50s, a successful salesman in the medical-equipment field, stopped by my office recently to discuss addiction. He has been reading my columns on the topic, and wanted to share some thoughts. He is an alcoholic who has been sober for several decades, and now works with others trying to beat addictions, most commonly, heroin. “The story is always the same,” he said, nodding his head knowingly. “Always the same.” By that, he means how people become addicts to substances ranging from alcohol to opiates and what they do to deny it, hide it and ultimately get in deeper and deeper. Listen to the stories of addicts, he said, and whether it’s a Hollywood star who gulps Grey Goose from a water bottle or a suburban kid copping oxycontin out of medicine cabinets, the trajectory of the tragedy is always the same. Then, there comes a point where some addicts get clean and many don’t. Here, all of the stories aren’t the same. Sometimes, with luck, the parents can step in, and after trying everything, try yet something else. And it works. Add in support from people like my sober salesman, and the story doesn’t have to end in tears. Here’s one such story from a local mom: As a parent of a heroin addict, I have been following with great interest your series on addiction. The disease of addiction is very insidious. It starts out slowly and then takes over every facet of the addict’s life and the family’s life as well. Our family went through many years of pain and suffering. I don’t think that words can describe the helplessness that one feels as they watch a loved one self-destruct. As a family unit we went to all of the family components of every rehab that my child was involved in—the words can be helpful, but if the actions of the addict don’t change, you still have that feeling of helplessness. Unfortunately, our society looks at addiction as if it should be controlled by the addict—as if they can willingly just turn off that switch that makes them use and become healed. People you think of as friends don’t give you the same comfort they would were your child suffering from cancer, diabetes or any other disease. “You, the addict, should fix it yourself.” Our insurance companies think that patients should be cured after

FROM EDITOR

THE

JOHN OWENS three or four days of detox. They won’t pay for extended care, and unless the family has thousands and thousands of dollars to pay for their loved one’s care, with no guarantee of a cure, you are on your own. There is a twofold problem with most of the rehab facilities in the New York: They all seem primarily concerned about the financial aspect of the case, and most of the programs are rather punitive in nature. After a particularly bad run, I took my son to a facility in North Palm Beach, Fla. Their whole approach to the addict is so different from anything I have seen in New York. They are genuinely concerned with the addict’s recovery. The clients live in an apartment and are responsible for taking care of cooking, cleaning and such. In addition to therapy sessions, they go to outside Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and are encouraged to get a sponsor. They have an opportunity to meet many sober people. They also do extracurricular activities, such as going to the gym, movies and bowling. They get to see and live a sober life. This can only be accomplished with the client’s willingness to do step work and participate in these groups. After 90 days there, my son came home a changed person. He is actively involved in AA, this includes working the steps. He has made many new sober friends. He is now clean almost eight months. I applaud your efforts to bring attention to this terrible disease. I want to let people know that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. This is a story worth sharing. Any other readers who have a story to share, please email it to me. Your insights and experiences are important. And your anonymity is assured.

Leaf Blower Flap Isn’t Just About Noise For over 40 years, gas-powered leaf blowers have been a focal point for irritation and frustration over neighborhood noise. The issue is percolating up all over the country again, and now it’s also about swallowing doody. Gas-powered leaf blowers aren’t the only gardening and landscaping apparatus that use loud two-stroke engines (it takes two piston movements to complete one cycle of combustion), but it’s pretty easy to understand what lawn mowers and chainsaws do and why they are used. The purpose, efficiency and effectiveness as a gardening tool of using powerful blowers on a typical 50by-100-foot property is more mysterious. Even the phrase “leaf blowers” is a misnomer. They don’t blow just leaves. They blow everything that’s on and in and around your lawn into the air, where it lingers for hours until it settles onto the neighbor’s car and their kids’ faces. Mold, pollen, seeds, little rocks, dead bugs, live ticks, it’s all launched at high speed. The polite word for it is “fugitive dust,” but on the street we call it “rodent feces,” and worse. In two-stroke engines, fuel is mixed with oil for lubrication, and about 30 percent of the mixture goes unburned and gets spewed out. That smell in the air after the gardener leaves is a mix of

VIEWPOINT

MICHAEL A. MILLER carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides and various carcinogenic hydrocarbons. In late 2011, a study by Edmunds. com, the auto information site, found that the hydrocarbon emissions from half an hour of yard work with a two-stroke Echo leaf blower generated about the same carbon monoxide and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions as driving the 3,900 miles from Texas to Alaska in a 6,200-pound Ford Raptor. We know a lot more now than we did 10 and 20 years ago about allergies, asthma and the dangers of extended exposure to very fine particulate matter, which can penetrate deep into lungs, enter the bloodstream and harm the heart and other organs. This isn’t a joke. The noise is a problem, especially for people with limited mobility who

can’t easily escape, or for the mother who finally got an infant to sleep. Leaf blower noise seems particularly jarring, especially throttling up, and seems to carry unusually longer distances and penetrate walls and closed windows. But while most people perceive gas-powered blowers to be much louder than other machinery, it doesn’t always measure out in as convincingly, creating doubt about action and enforcement. Even louder than a 115-decibel blower is the sound of a little kid coughing. Some landscapers in my neighborhood have been buying even louder, larger and more inappropriate machinery. I frequently see workers sent out with no hearing protection,

taught to gun up the throttle to maximum, always. Perhaps some business owners are trying to make a point. One East End landscaper told the East Hampton Star that banning or regulating blowers was “the stupidest idea…If they don’t like the noise and people making a living…people should leave town and go somewhere where they don’t have leaves or people to bother.” The Washington State Capitol in Olympia sits in a 290-acre park, from which work crews clear 80 tons (180 dump truck loads) of leaves annually. It’s a big space. Nassau County has 14 incorporated villages that are smaller than 290 acres. Earlier this year, in response to legislators fed-up with gas blower noise and smells, testing determined that using electric tools or rakes would require seven extra workers. In this century, information travels faster than sound, and a lot of old claims about imposing hardships on businesses aren’t going to hold up. Opposing reasonable standards and precautions will grow support for a total ban. Mike Miller has worked in state and local government. Email: mmiller column.gmail.com

SLIRR Commuters Have Ways To Survive Strike EYE ON

THE ISLAND

MIKE BARRY Recognizing a strike which impacted commuters effective Sunday, July 20, would inflict insufficient mayhem, the Long Island Rail Road’s (LIRR) union leaders want their prospective work stoppage pushed back to September. This comes as no surprise. But I was astonished to see the four U.S. House Members who represent Nassau County — Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington), Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola) and Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-St. Albans) — agreed with the LIRR’s union leaders while invoking an absurd cover story: the fate of Long Island’s summer tourism industry. “We encourage the MTA [Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the LIRR’s parent] to accept a proposal from the involved employee labor unions to extend the current ‘cooling

off’ period for an additional 60 days,” stated a June 19 letter to MTA chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast, which was signed by the aforementioned U.S. House Members, and six others, from downstate New York. The correspondence is posted at www.smartunionlirr.com, and goes on to say “we are concerned about the

116058

effect that any potential work stoppage [in July 2014] could have on Long Island tourism, as the LIRR is a vital means of transportation to the East End and other destinations during the peak tourism season in the summer months.” True enough. Yet if you asked typical LIRR daily commuters whether they could more easily withstand a July LIRR strike, as compared to one in September, I daresay 90-plus percent of commuters would want a LIRR strike to occur in July. It is an easier time of year to take vacation, their children are on summer break, and the roadways are less clogged because neither school buses nor teachers are making the trips they take between September and June. To its credit, the LIRR’s Commuter Council, an entity created by the state legislature, began distributing pamphlets to LIRR riders at Penn Station in late June, offering guidance on how to prepare for a July strike. Meanwhile, the LIRR’s unions have the downstate Congressional delegation and two separate Obama administration-appointed panels backing them, even though the recommendations of those presidential nominees were non-binding, whereas the MTA’s labor negotiators are fending for themselves at the moment. The MTA has remained too silent throughout these proceedings, and could learn something from The Metropolitan Opera, which is currently in the midst of contract negotiations with 15 of the 16 unions representing employees that work at the Met. In a full-page New York Times advertisement (June 20), the Met’s executive committee explained how work rules forged in a different era are today financially unsustainable, and draining the institution’s resources. One example the Met

LIRR brass at a recent event promoting summer travel. If a strike comes, would it be better now, or in September? cited in its ad: the orchestra receives 16 weeks (yes, 16) of annual paid vacation. I’m sure comparable, unjustifiable expenditures are set into motion by the LIRR’s work rules. The MTA should take a full-page advertisement in a major daily newspaper and explain clearly some of the LIRR’s antiquated work rules to the public. LIRR commuters do, however, have weapons in 2014 that were not at their disposal in 1994, the last time the LIRR’s unions walked off the job. The first are the dramatic technological advances that have been made in the workplace. Given a laptop and an iPhone, most people can conduct business almost anywhere and, while they may miss face-to-face contact with colleagues and customers, a LIRR strike in 2014 is a major inconvenience as opposed to an event that can cripple the economy. The last 20 years have also brought widespread business continuity improvements made in the wake of 9-11, and Superstorm Sandy, times when New York City offices were either closed or inaccessible for extended periods of time. Should a LIRR strike occur, and continue for weeks, or even months, you’ll see city-based businesses rent space in either Nassau or Suffolk to accommodate their Long Island employees. Indeed, rather than shutting down the Island, a prolonged LIRR strike could boost to its commercial real estate market.

THE WEEKEND - JULY 2 - 8, 2014

Nassau’s Invisible Immigrant Community Most Long Islanders don’t think about Belmont Park beyond the annual Belmont Stakes. But look closely, and you will see that year in year out, the track is a very active and important economic force. Belmont Park has been part of the Long Island community since 1905. The grounds reside partially within Floral Park and Elmont, overlapping slightly into Queens. It typically holds nine or 10 races each day, Wednesday through Sunday. It’s a major part of the economy not just for those towns, but also for Long Island as a whole. Its economic contribution rests largely on the shoulders of an invisible group of men and women — nearly all of whom are immigrants. In racing parlance they are known as “backstretch” employees. These people perform essential jobs related to the care of the horses, including grooming, feeding and exercising. At Belmont Park, there are approximately 2,000 backstretch workers, most of whom live on the park grounds, according to Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York, a non-profit that provides health care and other services to the workers. “The horse racing world, which generates hundreds of millions of dollars, would not exist or it would be very tiny in New York without these workers,” said Ruchames. Despite their critical role in Long Island’s economy, there is little integration between the backstretch workers and the local community. Part of the reason is that the vast majority of workers live in dormitories on the grounds. Some have children who go to the local schools. Some take second jobs at the car wash or deli nearby. Most, according to Ruchames, “keep a low profile.” Life on the backstretch starts at 4 a.m. and ends around 11 a.m. Nearly all of the jobs these workers perform are physically demanding. “One is called a hot walker, who walks the horse before and after exercise,” said Ruchames. “Then there is an exercise rider.” There’s also the groom, who Ruchames said is the secret behind each horse. It is the groom who has the best gauge of the horse’s health and condition. “The groom bandages and takes care of the horse,” he said. “The groom knows the psychology of the horse. He knows his eating habits and sleeping habits.” All of these jobs require the men and women to be outside and exposed

MARYANN SLUTSKY to the elements for hours at a time. And there’s always the risk of being kicked or thrown by animals weighing well over a thousand pounds. “There’s a lot of shoveling,” said Ruchames, “and restraining the horse takes a lot of strength.” The immigrants performing these jobs accept these risks. Most come from rural villages in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala — many from the same village or neighborhood. A good portion has had exposure to, if not hands-on experience, working with farm animals. For some, it’s a family tradition. Despite the hard labor, one thing is clear to Ruchames: The backstretch workers have a tremendous work ethic and truly love what they do. “They come to have relationships with the horses,” he said. Think of the bond people have with their pet, he said, “Now imagine that it’s your job, eight hours a day, working with your pet. Your pet runs a race — and wins!” Love or not, these are the proverbial jobs Americans simply won’t do. Ruchames said when trainers advertise openings, they get few, if any, responses from American-born workers. In the past, backstretch workers were African-Americans. Now, the role falls mainly to immigrants. Today’s backstretch workers are hired by the horse trainers, and brought to the U.S. on H2-B visas, like farmworkers. BEST was established in 1989 by people who had these working conditions in mind. “It was originally started just to handle drug and alcohol problems,” said Ruchames. “About seven years ago, it expanded the mission to include health care.” Largely funded by New York Racing Association (NYRA) and the New York Thoroughbred Horseman’s Association, BEST helps subsidize the workers’ health care costs, as well as provides alcohol and substance abuse counseling, psychological counseling and prescription medical assistance. It also established an on-site medical facility that offers primary care, chiropractic services, acupuncture and other treatments.

Dr. Fred Cogan, primary physician at the BEST Backstretch Clinic, said that he sees ailments related to the grueling outdoor work, and notices similarities with those in law enforcement, where long-term exposure to the elements is common. Cogan tries to ensure basic preventative care, such as routine blood tests and annual physicals, as well as immunizations. Planned Parenthood comes by once a month to offer their services. The benefit of the program goes beyond the backstretch. Over a five-year period, Ruchames said, “We saved the local community over $2 million in health care costs by what we are doing here. People who are going to our medical facility are not going to the emergency room.” Backstretch workers also receive childcare through the Belmont Child Care Association, popularly known as Anna House in honor of Anna Cordero, the late wife of Hall-of-Fame jockey Angel Cordero. Anna House is open from 5 a.m. to 1 p.m. to accommodate the workers’ schedule.

Top: Paul Ruchames, executive director for Backstretch Employee Service Team (BEST) of New York Bottom: A mural vividly portrays track — and backstretch — life. There’s also an on-site chaplaincy run by a separate non-profit called the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America N.Y. But non-profit organizations can do only so much. The passing of comprehensive immigration reform would be a game-changer for backstretch workers. For example, they would be able to reap the benefits of taxes they pay. The workers pay into Social Security, but rarely see the benefit because many ultimately move back to their country. We’re ready to wager that immigration reform would bring a better future for these workers — and for Long Island.

One concept that addresses many of Long Island’s economic and social needs is “transit-oriented development.” It should become a prominent focal point in this election season, as Long Islanders discuss our future ambitions. Transit-oriented development (TOD) refers to any development — housing, office, retail or any combination of them — located adjacent to transit stations (for us, the Long Island Rail Road). What’s especially impressive is the number of priority needs it addresses on Long Island. From an economic standpoint, we need to grow job opportunities, and TOD provides settings for office and retail jobs, as well as housing. We need to increase our population, in order to expand our economy and reduce the individual tax burden, and TOD enables higher-density growth without impacting less commercial areas. We need to provide more varieties of housing — smaller units and more rental options that appeal to young people as well as those looking to down-size from larger homes — and TOD can accommodate those varieties as well. From an environmental standpoint, we need to preserve our open space and the suburban lifestyle for which Long Island is renowned; we need to reduce our reliance on cars, and we need to be more creative in how we address our parking needs, so that we eliminate the growing blight of cars spreading out from transit stations in all directions. Transit-oriented development can accomplish all of that and more. For a look at innovative approaches to parking, for instance, see the Long Island Index’s ParkingPlus Design Challenge. From the standpoint of increasing innovation, we need to better link our centers of innovation — our universities, research centers and business incubators — and the people who work at them. We need to provide enhanced downtowns offering the mix of housing, entertainment, workspace and transit access that young people seek. We need to provide more options for reverse-commuting so that the talent and businesses we want to attract will move to Long Island rather than to Westchester County, southern Connecticut or northern

OPINION

NANCY RAUCH DOUZINAS New Jersey — nearby locations where reverse-commuting is so much easier and economic growth is far surpassing Long Island’s. Again, transit-oriented development can support all of that. The good news for Long Island is that crucial resources needed to expand TOD are already in place. First, we have the Long Island Rail Road and its 124 stations. Local communities will have to decide for themselves whether they want transit-oriented development and on what terms, but many larger communities do — for any number of the reasons cited above. Second, we have the space. There are more than 4,000 acres of surface parking lots in and around Long Island’s downtowns, and that space can be far more creatively imagined and effectively used. Think what a difference it would make if that space was contributing to Long Island’s economy in innovative ways while offering even more parking. That’s the reality of what’s possible, as the ParkingPlus Design Challenge reveals. Third, we have the access that transit provides to all parts of Greater New York City, the business capital of the world, and we need to put that access to greater use for Long Island. Election season is upon us and will be escalating as we approach November. Long Islanders should ask candidates for office what they will do to enhance transit-oriented development. It’s time for those candidates to hear that we are tired of watching the jobs that we need go to those other nearby locations. We need transit-oriented development and the economic growth that goes with it. It’s time for Long Island to get more TOD. Nancy Rauch Douzinas is president of the Garden City-based Rauch Foundation.

| THE GREAT NECK LIBRARY Alzheimer’s Association: Know the 10 Signs Attend this interactive workshop to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease on Wednesday, July 9 at 2 p.m. in the Community Room of the Main Library, 159 Bayview Ave. This presentation will help to separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Hear from people who have Alzheimer’s disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others. Early detection gives you a chance to explore treatments that may provide some relief of symptoms and help you maintain a level of independence longer, to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the future.

Jack S. Grimando: Original Oil Paintings Enjoy the paintings of Jack S. Grimando on view from July 3 to July 30 in the lower lobby of the Main Library, 159 Bayview Ave. Jack Grimando went to Pratt Institute for Art Studies (Graphic Illustrations). He was an illustrator for the U.S. Postal Service for 37 years, and created many post office lobby murals and training manuals. Jack was featured in articles in Newsday

Jack S. Grimando’s original oil paintings will be on view from July 3 to 30 at the Main Library. and Long Island Postal News, and has won various art awards for the U.S. Postal Service. His paintings have been exhibited in businesses and many libraries across Long Island. Jack is currently retired. Said Jack: “I have always been attracted to old world type scenes, landscapes, seascapes, village life, etc., inspired somewhat by my travel experiences. I try to convey my impressions of beauty that I feel in my depictions of old world scenes by painting in many fine details. Many, if

not most of my paintings are derived solely from my imagination. I am self-taught. For my artistic education I relied on my love of nature, my vision and my imagination to create my art on canvas. Some of my paintings may possibly never be purchased and hang on a wall, for I paint solely for the creation of a photograph in oil, not necessarily for sale. This is and has been my personal challenge and gratification. I would appreciate your comments in my guest book. Thank you and enjoy.”

Gold Coast Arts Center Grant BY GREAT NECK RECORD STAFF

GREATNECK@ANTONNERWS.COM

The Gold Coast Arts Center just announced that their previously reported challenge grant goal posed by the Harvey and Gloria Kaylie Foundation, which stated that if the center could raise $30,000 by June 15, the foundation would match it, has been achieved and surpassed. The Gold Coast Arts Center is a 501(c)(3) organization that has been dedicated to promoting and supporting the arts through education, exhibition, performance and outreach on Long Island for over 20 years. The Center is concerned that their widely successful “ARTreach”

program is in danger of being cut back due to budget constraints, which would affect hundreds of Long Island and New York students who currently benefit from the programming. With this fact in mind, the Kaylies, who are philanthropists committed to education and other causes that create a strong community, decided to offer this incentive; Mr. Kaylie was quite impressed with the work that the Gold Coast Arts Center has been doing over the last 20 years in arts and education. This is the first challenge grant the Gold Coast Arts Center has ever received. “We are extremely pleased and grateful to our donors who rose to

The Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck. the challenge, and so grateful to the Kaylies for their encouragement and investment in our work” said Regina Gil, founder and executive director of the Gold Coast Arts Center, “we have received donations, both small and large, (one boy even gave us a quarter); we were excited to actually raise MORE than the challenge grant funds which should demonstrate to Mr. Kaylie and future funders that we have proven our worth to the region; people DO care about the future of

the arts and education in their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren”. Contributions can still be made by calling 516 829-2570 and paying by credit card; writing a check to “Gold Coast Arts Center, 113 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11021 attn: Challenge grant; or by logging onto their website at www.goldcoastarts. org/support or clicking on “Support the Arts” when they get to the website.

Old Village Adopts State Rules On Workforce Housing BY WENDY KARPEL KREITZMAN WKREITZMAN@ANTONNEWS.COM The Village of Great Neck is planning on relying on New York State law regarding workforce housing. To date, the village has been following its own village workforce housing law, created about 10 years ago. Within the last few years, the state also adopted a workforce housing law. According to Old Village Mayor Ralph Kreitzman, the state could have easily over-ridden the village law, but it has not. At the most recent June board of trustees meeting, it was proposed to repeal the local law in favor of the state’s version. The workforce housing law in the village, and in the state, basically calls for 10 percent workforce housing provided in specific new apartment buildings. In return, the applicant for the building permit will receive a

No Free Lunch At School New policy addresses deadbeats BY WENDY KARPEL KREITZMAN WKREITZMAN@ANTONNEWS.COM The Great Neck School District adopted a new policy on charging school meals at the school board’s June 16 public action meeting. The proposal was introduced in May and discussed a second time at the school board’s June 2 meeting. The policy seeks to help the district inform parents (or guardians) whose children buy meals at school of their obligations regarding payment and to maintain a system of accounting for charged meals that follows state guidelines. To date, if a child had no lunch or lunch money, the school district would still provide the meal. However, parents did not always repay the money, adding to the district’s financial stress. The district rejected the suggestion of registering parental credit card numbers for students’ use in the cafeteria at the earlier meeting. The new policy states that the school board does “recognize” that a student might forget to bring lunch money to school and, thus, to ensure that no child goes hungry, and to “promote responsible student behavior,” but yet to minimize any monetary burden on the district, there shall be guidelines. Only regular

workforce housing. Work force housing is a state and village law that mandtes that a certain percent of housing units in a new building must be reserved for

applicants who meet specific (lower) income standards, and must also possibly meet certain residency standards as well as listed profession standards. At press time, the Old Village anticipated a public hearing at the Tuesday, July 1 board of trustees meeting. The intent is to repeal the workforce housing section of the Village Code and for the future, refer to the New York State workforce housing law. The mayor also noted that the July 1 public hearing for the proposed zoning code change could be held up if the village does not hear from the Nassau County Planning Commission in a timely manner. The Commission could approve or disapprove the proposal, or it could leave the decision up to the village. Should the Commission disapprove, the village could over-ride this with a super majority of least four trustees).

NYS Legislature Passes Home Truss Bill BY GREAT NECK RECORD STAFF GREATNECK@ANTONNEWS.COM

Board of Education Trustee Monique Bloom meals, and only what is on the menu, may be charged; no snacks may be charged; a computer point-of-sale system will register charged meals, to ease collecting payments. The policy also states that if school authorities suspect that a student is abusing this policy, they must first give notice to the parent or guardian, and then the privilege may be refused. The policy, which applies to all schools in the district, is to be communicated to all parents on an annual basis, prior to the opening day of school.

The New York State Legislature has passed, with broad bipartisan support, a new law that would help save firefighters from the collapse of residential structures by establishing a truss construction notification system for residential properties, similar to what exists for commercial properties. Truss-style construction is very safe and durable but more susceptible to collapse—often suddenly and without warning—when weakened by fire. First responders can’t identify from the outside whether a building is truss-constructed or not. As a result, in recent years, the collapse of residential truss structures, such as roofs and floors, has been the cause of many preventable injuries and deaths among first responders, especially firefighters. Under the measure, which is

similar to the state’s existing law for commercial buildings, a municipality’s building department would be required to notify the local fire chief when it receives a permit application for construction or modification of a residence utilizing truss construction. The local code enforcement official would be required to consult with the local 911 servicer, emergency dispatchers, and the local fire protection provider, to determine the manner sufficient to warn persons conducting fire control and emergency operations in that area. This coordination will enable dispatchers to alert responding fire units prior to their arrival at the scene that the residence has structural truss components. Property owners would also affix a small, non-invasive decal to the electric box on the exterior of the house to notify firefighters. The legislation must be signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Great Neck South High School student Alex Schecter had the honor of singing the National Anthem at the New York State Democratic Convention, held this year in Melville. Alex’s appearance was arranged by his. “I have been privileged to hear him perform as a soloist at my synagogue, Temple Beth-El of Great Neck,” said Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel. “When I was asked to recommend someone to sing the National Anthem at the Convention, Alex became the perfect choice.” Alex, who studied at the Manhattan School of Music PreCollege, has performed leading roles in four full-length operas, directed by Dr. Pamela Levy, at Great Neck South High School. He was selected by the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society to perform in the Young Musician’s Concert at Lincoln Center. A winner of the New York State Thespian Scholarship, he was one of a dozen students selected from across the country to train at the Met for a weekend. Last summer Alex performed in a concert at Jonathan Ielpi Park.

The JCLL is chartered by Little League Baseball of Williamsport, PA. The league is comprised of various teams from Long Island and Queens including towns like Great Neck, Plainview, Hillcrest, Kew Gardens and Jamaica Estates. There are three divisions; Minors,third and fourth grade; Majors, fifth and sixth grade; and Juniors, seventh and eighth grade. In the Minors division, the Great Neck fourth grade team completed a turnaround season with a championship amongst a field of 10 teams. After going 1-6 the previous year the team turned things around by going 7-2 during this regular season. In the Majors division, the Great Neck fifth grade team had an impressive perfect season. Their story began four years ago when as second graders they entered the Minors division amongst mostly fourth grade teams and won the B championship. The next season in the Minors division as third graders, they went undefeated and won the A championship. Last year as fourth graders they played up in the Majors division with primarily sixth grade teams and impressively lost in the semi-finals to the eventual champions. This season as fifth graders they just capped another undefeated season and won another championship out scoring

In the juniors division, Great Neck played KGS. Great Neck was the number one seed after finishing the regular season 6-2. Great Neck won 2-0. All three division championships were won by Great Neck Teams! “As far as I know, this is the first time in the history of the league that all three championships were won by Great Neck teams,” said co-commissioner and co-coach of the Junior team, Elie Cohen. The Junior team was coached by Dr. Mordi Dicker and Elie Cohen. “The kids worked very hard this season and it really paid off,” said Dr. Mordi Dicker. The games that Sunday were all played with the American flag flying at half mast in memory of Marc Katz who was a dedicated communal leader and served as president of the JCLL for over 30 years and who suddenly died just recently. Going forward, the league will rename the playoff games the Marc Katz Memorial Championship Series.
