More Freeport summer events NATIONAL NIGHT OUT: Left, Nassau County legislative candidates Steve Rhoads (19th LD) and Debbie Puglise (5th LD) meet with members of the Nassau County Police Explorers Unit at Freeport's National Night Out. PADDLE A CANOE: Below: Assemblyman Brian Curran was at the Nautical Mile this week for the Great Freeport Canoe Races, an annual event co-hosted by the Freeport Chamber of Commerce and Police Athletic League. Mr. Curran, who was one of several elected officials who took part in the races, complimented event organizers and the Freeport community on their progress since superstorm Sandy and its tidal flooding inundated the waterside community. Joining Assemblyman Curran are the first lady of Freeport, Mary Pignatelli-Kennedy, Debbie Pugliese, Steve Rhodes, Lois Howes and members of the Freeport Chamber of Commerce and Police Athletic League.

THE FREEPORT CANOE RACE

by Marianne Endo The Freeport Canoe Races took place on Sunday at Sea Breeze Park, sponsored by Freeport Chamber of Commerce and PAL. The ambiance was beautiful – the clear water, blue sky, warm breeze, and friendly atmosphere – all creating a perfect scene to a perfect day.

Many volunteers were reminiscing of the earliest days when the races were held behind The Schooner, under the leadership of Marian Knoeller and Wes Carman. Help came from Al Grover, Barbara Jagnow and other local businesses. Races were competitive (ha,

ha) and practices were held up and down the canals! Many volunteers of today were paddlers in the kids races back then (and their children enter the races now!).

Participants came from as far away as Longwood, Florida, Bay Shore, Bellmore, Oceanside, Lynbrook, Baldwin, Merrick and Freeport.

Paddlers competed to earn a place in the front (or back) of the line! No canoe overturned in the water this year! The Coast Guard Auxillary and their crafts, the police boat, the Freeport fire boat, the Freeport Rescue Squad, and volunteer rescue boats all

were ready for any mishaps but to no avail! Thank you for being alert anyway!

Young and old joined in the festivities – the youngest being three years old vying for a medal with Grandpa paddling away! (At least the little one held on to the paddle all the way!)

Men and women competed! Boys and girls “pulled the boat.” The PAL soccer team had their own race with a good performance! Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy was even competitive to the checkered flag – he earned a medal!

(County Legislator Dave Denenberg took the Gold). Great sports to the fin-

ish though! Mayor Kennedy’s wife and daughter also had a great showing in a separate race.

No matter what heat, or what place the paddlers finished, they all crossed the finish line with smiles on their faces – maybe because they made it or that they finally made it – either way everyone exclaimed that they had a great time! We’re wondering what their muscles are saying, though.

Make plans now to join in the festivities for next year! Look for the banners, flyers, notices – they will be around town! Maybe, just maybe, a medal could be waiting for you!

NAMES MAKE THE NEWS: Read about your neighbors! 42 local people’s names were in your community newspaper this past week. Maybe yours is in this week! See inside.

A history of The Leader

by George Merritt In 1929, when I was two years old, my Uncle Walter and Aunt Kathleen Peters bought a brand new home on Cortelyou Road in Merrick, which was separated from the Village of Freeport by a stand of woods that later partly became the Meadowbrook Parkway. My sister Jane and I often visited for weeks at a time because they had no children.

My Uncle Walter was a big game fisherman who fished with the Freeport Boatmen’s Association on Woodcleft Canal. Often on Sunday when he didn’t go fishing we would ride down to the Freeport Boatmen’s Association Dock to see what the fellas (as he called them) might have caught. We would ride there in his big four-door black Buick, with the suicide doors that were supposed to let you out easily. We got down to the dock, to check out the catch, maybe they caught something and maybe they didn’t. They caught a lot of tuna, bluefish and bass. Most of the 20 boats that docked there in the ’30s were deep-sea charter fishing boats that could take out 2-6 men.

Two of the best boats and captains were the Empress Ann and the Julianna.

Captained by Mel Eldred and his brother Ben. A boating accident killed Capt.

Mel; he drowned in Jones Inlet after WWII. His passengers and mate were saved by the Coast Guard, but he was lost and never seen again.

One of the boats that took a larger group of people was the Albert and Howard, I imagine it took 15 to 20 people. It was a dry, safe old tub, very slow.

It had pipe railings around it, so small children and land lovers couldn’t fall overboard. Fred Carmen was the captain of the Albert and Howard.

After a while we would take a ride further down to the east point and on the canal on the right there were many small bungalows, right on the water between the road and the water and Guy Lombardo’s house, which had 8-10 foot hedges out in the front. You couldn’t

really see the house. There was a space for two boats underneath – usually two boats, one named the Tempo. I think he had five boats by the end.

We would continue down to where there were just small bungalows until we got to the east point where there was Restaurant called Johnny Liota’s East Point House. In the ’20s and ’30s Liota’s had plenty of gambling and drinking.

We could see from that dock if there were any other boats coming.

If not, we would turn around and drive back further north across from the Boatmen’s Association where the Midship Cocktail Lounge was owned by a fellow who was in show business and retired, who owned and worked the bar.

My uncle would sit, have a beer and I’d have my Shirley Temple, before our ride home to Merrick.

At the north end of the dock was a coop for homing pigeons. The captains would take pigeons with them just in case the radio didn’t work in an emergency. When they came back through Jones Inlet, which was a very dangerous inlet at that time, they would let the pigeon go, giving them exercise, and let everyone know they were coming in soon.

Friday was fish day in the Peters household. So that meant a ride to Woodcleft Canal, where you could get the freshest fish anywhere. My Aunt Kathleen would get her pillow and her driving gloves. She needed the pillow because that big Buick was not easy for her to drive, as she was only five feet tall. We would go down past Randall Park, make a right turn, and there was the Viking fleet.

Carl Forsberg was the owner and captain of one of the boats. It took a large amount of people, they also had rods and reels on board for you to use.

Sometime after the war the Viking fleet moved to Montauk Point.

Just ahead was Woodcleft Avenue.

You made a left and you were on Woodcleft Avenue, the west side of the Woodcleft Canal. There was a small bar

believe they had about four that were painted in light colors and all crewed by deep sea fishermen. They were captained by the Merritt family. Possibly a distant relative of mine, I’m not sure.

There were two shipyards further down the Woodcleft Canal. There was Bob Lakes, and if I’m not wrong he had a regular rail line across Woodcleft Avenue so he could take the boats out and bring them into the lot where he worked on the boats.

The other further down was the Skopiniches, who made crash boats and picket boats for the U.S. Navy in World War II. These were rather big vessels that went out in the ocean and did all kinds of work for the Navy. They received the “E” for efficiency in WWII from the Navy and flew a flag on their flagpole, which was a great big “E.” The only two restaurants of note that I can remember were Otto’s Sea Grille, where the Freeport Boatmen’s Association had their meeting. It was a regular restaurant that was opened all during the ’30s. The (continued on page 6)

that seemed to hang over the water. I had heard that it flooded during high tides, especially with a big moon. I was told that many local fishermen, after a successful day on the charter boats, would go into the bar with the water to their knees. They would belly up to the bar anyway and have a drink, the bartender wearing hip-boots.

Many of the people down on the waterfront (on the commercial boats) wore hip-boots. I had a pair myself when I worked out on Meadow Island in 1942 on the bait dock. Some people would cut them, and never wear shoes, from sunrise to sunset, and even later.

The west bank of the canal was filled with all kinds of boats, trawlers, dragger, charter, open boats, boat and yacht sales, even rowboats.

After a rainy day I would go down and bail out the rowboats. My pay would be taking out one of the rowboats, to row up and down the canal. There was another fleet of boats along the west side of the canal called the Callaban Fleet. I

by Jim Golding Village trustees at Monday’s board meeting authorized applications for three federal grants totaling $2.85 million. The grants would fund a scenic streetscape project along Sunrise Highway, two bike path projects and 200 new storm drain insert devices.

The streetscape project $2,070,000 grant would be matched with a $414,000 contribution from the village.

An estimated $587,000 grant was received for the bike paths, with the village providing an additional $117,400. Mayor Robert Kennedy said if the grant is approved, neighborhood meetings would be scheduled to discuss the paths’ locations.

Freeport also would provide $40,000 for the $200,000 storm drain project grant application.

The community newspaper - the glue that helps hold a community together, and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.

Like a family “When one starts a newspaper, it’s almost like a child – one never stops caring about what happens to it.” So wrote Grace Anton, wife of Merrick Life founder Karl Anton, in congratulating my parents, Johannes and the late Faith Laursen, on their 30th year of ownership of the paper back in 1988.

And so as we prepare to hand over ownership of our notso-young newspaper “children,” The Freeport-Baldwin Leader, 1935, Merrick Life, 1938, The Wantagh-Seaford Citizen, 1953, and Bellmore Life, 1964, to Richner Communications we trust that each will continue to be “the glue that helps hold a community together and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.”

The Richner family also has its roots steeped in printer's ink. Like my father, Cliff Richner is a former president of the New York Press Association, the professional organization that has kept community journalism alive in New York State.

NYPA provides continuing education for journalists, advice on the economic aspects of running a newspaper and group buys for advertisers for the wide variety of newspapers serving all kinds of communities and cultures all over the state. Like many other newspapers we couldn’t have done it without them.

Cliff and Stuart Richner run Herald Community Newspapers, a second-generation ownership and the second largest employer of print journalists on Long Island. They are also out front in online journalism with responsible news reporting.

My mother used to say, “Being a subscription paid newspaper means that our community papers are invited into the home, and are often kept around the house for days.

“Whether they subscribe by mail or pick up the paper at local newsstands, many residents consider us part of their family...and we consider them part of ours.”

Including our online audience, we reach over 30,000 readers on an average week.

We want to thank all of our staff, our family of subscribers, as well as our advertisers and community activists, for 55 years of newspaper ownership by the Laursen family.

Together, we helped make a difference, raising railroad tracks, founding needed social services and cultural organizations, preserving land for future generations, building better business districts, informing voters and chronicling the very fabric of our lives. It’s been an honor to know you.

by Laura Schofer The fate of the Freeport Armory now rests in the hands of New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo.

A bill introduced by state Assemblywoman Earlene Hooper that passed both the Assembly and Senate on June 21, transfers the Freeport Armory and the surrounding land to the Cedarmore Community Development Corporation (CDC) for one dollar.

Now Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy is attempting to persuade Governor Cuomo to veto the bill and return the Armory to Freeport as an intergovernmental transfer, a practice that has precedent in other Long Island communities where there are surplus armories.

These communities include Riverhead, Huntington and Brookhaven. The Freeport Armory is owned by the state Division of Military and Naval Affairs who moved out of the facility in 2011.

The bill, originally introduced in January, requires that the Cedarmore Development Corporation use the threeacre parcel and building exclusively for “voluntary youth associations including educational and recreational programs to assist at-risk youth and public safety purposes,” reads the bill.

The Cedarmore Development Corporation is housed in Zion Cathedral Church of God in Christ, which is located across the street from the Freeport Armory on Babylon Turnpike. Bishop

Frank O. White is pastor; Dr. Renee E. Charles is the Executive Director at CDC. “The church does some very good work,” stated Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy, “but I must think about what is in the best interest of Freeport. This property should be used by Freeport, for Freeport.”

Mayor Kennedy said he would like to move Freeport’s Department of Public Works, now housed in the Industrial Park in South Freeport, to the Freeport Armory.

“DPW took five feet of water during Sandy,” explained the mayor. “We need to replace an oil tank that will cost $1 million. If we have another flood like Sandy, we’re in trouble. FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] is requesting that we mitigate or there is no reimbursement. That could cost us $4 million.”

Mayor Kennedy warned that this kind of expenditure would mean “an automatic 10% tax increase.”

Instead, Mayor Kennedy wants to move the village’s DPW to the Freeport Armory as well as create a satellite police station and an office of emergency management.

Additionally, “We could sell the DPW facility to a private developer and return that property to the tax rolls. It’s a win-win situation,” said Mayor Kennedy.

In December three public hearings were held by the Cedarmore Board of Directors about its intent to seek to

repurpose the land at the Freeport Armory for community development under the auspices of Cedarmore Corporation. These activities included, “training and education primary [sic] for Freeport but not limited to the constituents of Freeport Village,” reads the notice.

Then-Mayor Andrew Hardwick was a supporter of this project, but in March, Mayor Kennedy was elected to office and decided to set a different course for the village.

“I reached out to Assemblywoman

Hooper several months ago,” said Mayor Kennedy, who did not get a response from the assemblywoman until recently.

“Now I have an appointment scheduled to meet with her,” he said.

In the meantime, Mayor Kennedy has written a letter urging Governor Cuomo not to sign the legislation. “My letter was hand delivered,” he said. “I’m waiting for a response.”

Calls to Assemblywoman Hooper’s office were not returned prior to press time.

Dr. Charles chose not to comment for this article.

VIEWPOINT: Neighbors helping neighbors

by Barry Goodman The following was a post that appeared on the Friends of Freeport’s Facebook page and sums up what it means to be a Freeporter.

This past Saturday I met up with a friend of mine, a fellow Freeporter who has been living in the Rockaways of Queens. As many of you know this area was also devastated by superstorm Sandy. It is here, as in other areas of the South Shore of Long Island, where an inlet bay met the Atlantic Ocean, flooding the land masses between them.

As I listened to the stories of how many homes and businesses of the Rockaways not only burned to the ground but were inundated with over eight feet of salt water, flooding homes, schools and businesses, it reminded me of the same devastation in Freeport.

The rebuilding of businesses, many of them on the bay side of the Rockaways, reminded me of the same scenes from our own Nautical Mile and other southern parts of Freeport. Even 10 months after the storm businesses and homes remain untouched.

After a lengthy discussion of the results or lack of results in getting the Rockaways back to pre-Sandy conditions, my friend turned the conversation to Freeport and its volunteer group – Friends of Freeport – asking how did this volunteer group form?

How many homeowners have been helped? Where does Friends of Freeport get its monies to supply materials for the rebuilding? How many people volunteer their time? How do you get people to volunteer? How do homeowners get in contact with Friends of Freeport to get help? How many homes are abandoned by the homeowner because they didn’t

have the resources to rebuild or their homes are too damaged to be saved?

As best as I could, I explained. From the beginning, just days after the storm, it started with just one person either offering to help a neighbor in cleaning out the water-damaged belongings to getting a phone call from a friend who asked for help.

It takes only one person to look around and say to themselves, if my friend needs help, how many other friends and neighbors need help too?

Soon, like dominoes that start to fall, one friend asks another friend and another friend asks another friend and so on until you have many friends who all come together helping their friends and their neighbors in time of need.

Being a Freeporter is just not about living within the four walls of your home.

Freeport is a community that is served by many volunteers, a place for everyone who wants to help. I have volunteered for many years in Freeport beginning in my senior year at Freeport High School when I joined the fire department. Like I now do with Friends of Freeport, I gave my time, resources and energy to help my community.

Years have passed and once again it was time to volunteer and help this community. I stepped forward to help. It reminds me of my time in the fire department. It doesn’t matter whether I know who lives in the [destroyed] house. This is about how I can help that homeowner and family in their time of need.

As far as donating monies, before I even got in my car to go to my first ripout with the team of the organization now called Friends of Freeport (a 501c charitable organization), another Freeporter designed a logo with the wording – “It’s a Freeport thing” and

transferred that to tee shirts and sweatshirts, with proceeds donated to Freeporters who needed help in the recovery efforts. I bought both items and still wear them proudly when visiting Freeport, as well as my Friends of Freeport ‘red’ volunteer T-shirt when I am involved with them on weekends. I also bought another one in black, which many of us jokingly call our ‘evening wear’ tee shirt, which I wear when visiting Freeport at night. Many people asked, “where did I get these tee shirts or sweat shirts?” I tell them what website to visit to donate to or connect them to others who stock the tee shirts or sweat shirts and to contact them directly.

Other money comes from larger charitable organizations and corporations who disperse donations directly to Friends of Freeport or individuals and smaller companies and organizations who contact Friends of Freeport directly and donate so that materials and equipment can be purchased to help homeowners directly.

Friends of Freeport has had as many as 50 or more volunteers show up to a home project ready and willing to give of the time with either skilled labor or just to lend two hands in keeping a job site cleaned; others rip out or rebuild.

When the weather got warmer, a newer group of Friends of Freeport began to work outside where they help bring curb appeal back to neighborhoods where the saltwater has destroyed the plant life. They rip out dead shrubs and trees and plant new flowers, plants and shrubs. They even have those who donate their time and resources to prepare food to feed the volunteers.

It’s not hard to get volunteers who bring friends and neighbors to help in

all the areas Friends of Freeport serve.

Even after 10 months of showing up at Freeporters’ homes and displaying its now famous sandwich sign showing their presence, people come by to see what the volunteers are doing and inquire how they too can get help with their homes. They are only too happy to listen and help these still needy homeowners with their issues and problems.

One of the saddest parts of going to Freeport to volunteer is when we arrive at a home project and see other homes on the block that have been abandoned because the homeowner didn’t have or couldn’t get the funds to rebuild and had to walk away.

The home will now sit there in the neighborhood, decaying while the mortgage-holder sits on the house and land deciding what they will do with it. This is very demoralizing to those who have used their resources and accepted help from Friends of Freeport in rebuilding and raising the level of normalcy of their neighborhoods.

My friend was very impressed with the efforts and all the volunteers of Friends of Freeport and even offered to come by and help in future projects. So it starts with one person who looks around and says, how can I help others in their time of need? You give of yourself by either volunteering or you make a donation to help keep the organization going. Now it’s your turn to act.

There are still many more roads to travel and many more miles to cover before every Freeporter is helped.

Saturday event slated This Saturday Friends of Freeport will be on Hubbard Street to help a neighbor.

Freeport waterfront from page 2 other was The Schooner, and that was almost near the end of the Canal, very close to the East End. It was all closed up during WWII. People didn’t have enough gasoline to get down there, you only received three gallons a month for a personal car.

At the very end of the point was Bill and Johnny's fish market, Actually it was just called “Bill’s.” But, Bill and Johnny were the owners. Finest fish on Long Island – most of it caught by baymen off Long Island. At the dock behind Bill and Johnny’s was a big sailing boat, maybe 50-60-70 feet long, called the Sellnota. It was owned by Wink Carmen.

It blew away some time in the early ’50s and landed up on the Meadows and was left there as long as I can remember. To the west of Bill and Johnny’s were some shacks that the local baymen put their equipment in, just beyond the shacks were four slips for boats. Two were where Capt. Jack Combs and his son George kept their Shrimp Garvies, 18foot long boats powered by eight cylinder Buick engines.

I went out clamming with them one night during the war, dragging a

Shinnecock rake with an extended handle, out in a spot off Massapequa. We caught 10 bushels of clams. I know because I jogged, cleaned them off (in the water) and put them in bushel baskets the next day. It may have been illegal, but at that time people needed food and no one cared if they were out there at night or not.

In later years Bill’s moved a few blocks down on the west side of Woodcleft Avenue in a large brick building that also had a clam bar. The parking lot was all broken clamshells, which you often saw in driveways and everywhere else on Long Island in those days.

There wasn’t much else on the west side of the road, empty lots, a few cottages. I think there was one store (I’m not sure what was sold in it) and parking lots for fishermen, that was about all.

Someone took me for a ride down to Woodcleft Avenue the other day, it looks like the rebirth has started. A few of the restaurants have opened. Some looked alright from the front, but were yet to be opened. I’ll tell you, it will come back, I’ll guarantee you, Woodcleft Avenue, the restaurants, entertainment, fishing, and all the businesses...will come back!

VBS at Christ Lutheran

by Ray Gillott “Island Odyssey” is the theme of Vacation Bible School in August at Christ-Cristo Lutheran Church, Freeport. The program is designed to bring God’s message of faith, hope and love to youngsters. While the theme refers to islands of the Caribean, there is also discussion of St. Paul’s travels in the Mediteranean.

On Monday to Friday, the children will be involved in songs, crafts and fun games each evening. Storytellers will introduce them to Paul, who brought Christianity out of Israel and devoted his life to Jesus’ message of love and redemption.

A committee of a dozen church members has been meeting under the

leadership of Isa Shachove in order to prepare for this VBS program. Isa has led this program for several years.

Snacks will be available to youngsters as they stay from 6:30 to 9 p.m. when parents come for them.

Enrollment is $l2 to cover costs of materials, etc. Several scholarships are available.

The church also provides an afterschool program for children of working parents. The elementary students are brought to the church by local schools and provided supervision from 2:30 to 6 p.m.

Call the church office on weekday mornings. The number is 378-1258.

The church is at 61 North Grove Street, adjacent to Village Hall.

Flood insurance rates to increase

We’re On The Web

www. freeportbaldwinleader.com

S9705JL0913JB

A new federal law, The BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Act passed before superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast, calls on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to make a number of changes to the way the National Flood Insurance Program is run.

The law will phase in increased flood insurance rates for homes in flood zones. Premiums have the potential to increase by 25% per year, for the next four years until the full-risk rates are reached, according to the government website, FloodSmart.gov.

The law eliminates the government’s support for flood insurance policies for those who own commercial buildings or second homes. It also eliminates grandfathering. In the past, many buildings were allowed to keep their original flood-risk rating even if the zone designation was changed in a later flood zone map. Beginning in 2014, all buildings will be rated using the latest maps.

Long Island is still waiting for FEMA to finish its revised flood maps which will indicate who is most at risk for flood hazards.

For more information contact your insurance provider.

The Nassau Leader was founded by George Goeller, a former editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, in 1935. The Laursen family purchased the newspaper, later simply titled The Leader, from Rhoda and Ira Keller in 1987 and soon renamed it The Freeport-Baldwin Leader to recognize the communities where it is principally circulated.

We have bound volumes of The Leader dating back to 1987, and earlier volumes are available on microfilm or disc at the Freeport Memorial Library.

Both Freeport and Baldwin are multi-racial, waterfront communities with many Victorian and Roaring Twenties mansions from the time when the area was a summer home to the stars. Median family income in Freeport is $56,000. In Baldwin it is $74,000. Freeport’s Village Hall, modelled after Independence Hall, is the scene of lively board meetings.

The Leader has been designated an official newspaper to publish legal notices by the Village of Freeport and local school districts.

Besides being featured on the L&M Publications website, which can be updated with breaking news via Twitter, the Leader has its own Facebook page for breaking news.

The Leader has received many awards from local organizations and from press associations. A Freeport reader requested a survey of environmental causes of breast cancer, which The Leader spearheaded, resulting in a county-wide effort and a New York State Press Association award for community service.

Publisher Linda Toscano traveled to the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to participate in a meeting that resulted in the Long Island Breast Cancer Study. She was a founding member of Freeport Dollars

Founded in 1935: A history of The Leader

The Nassau County Legislature’s Democratic caucus turned up the heat on the Republican majority over its $722 million funding request to repair the county’s Bay Park sewage plant and other repairs needed within the aging county sewage system, by requesting more oversight be accomplished in the form of legislative hearings.

On July 19 County Executive Edward P. Mangano created the Waste Water Treatment Plant Advisory Committee to oversee aspects of bonding the $722 million for the repairs, but Democratic Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams remarked at a conference on Monday in legislative chambers that the committee was just “Mr. Mangano policing himself, it has no real teeth to it.”

Legislator Dave Denenberg voted with Republicans to approve the $722 million after the Legislature had recently bonded $247 million for the specific purpose of repairing Bay Park’s adjustors, scrubbers and pumps, and $15 million for repairs to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Seaford.

The Cedar Creek money includes $14 million for controls on older control units and $499,000 to design digesters there, according to Mike Martino, spokesman for the county Department of Public Works.

Legislator Abrahams told those at the press conference that while the Legislature had approved $262 million for repairs, “The Mangano Administration asked for only $16 million in approval from NIFA [Nassau Interim Financial Authority]

for repairs.”

“We trust the Mangano Administration wants to get these issues resolved as we do but, as President Reagan once said, ‘Trust...but verify,’ ” remarked Democratic Legislator Robert Troiano.

To the six legislators at the press conference, verification would be more credible through legislative oversight than through executive oversight.

Legislator Wayne Wink told the press that, while he had been in the Legislature only during the Democratic Party’s last two years as a majority, “We used to have meetings on finances all the time. Now, there are no meetings at all” in the sewage matter.

Former Democratic Presiding Officer Judy Jacobs told those assembled that when the Democrats became the majority the county was near junkbond status.

“Rehabilitating the sewage plants will be the largest rebuilding expense of plants in the county’s history, so we can’t risk the reimbursement of monies without complete oversight’” of the sewage issue, she said.

But Republicans say the newly formed Wastewater Plant Advisory Committee, established on July 19 to evaluate the status and progress of the repair and rehabilitation of the wastewater treatment plants, will act as oversight. The 14-member committee includes one member appointed by County Executive Mangano, one member by the Nassau County Legislature’s Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves , and one appointed by the Legislature’s minority.

The committee also includes one member for each of the following

organizations: Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Operation SPLASH; Sludge Stoppers; League of Conservation Voters; Point Lookout Civic Association; Vision Long Island and the Nassau Coalition of Civic Associations. Two representatives of the Nassau Suffolk Building Trade Council will also sit on the Committee.

The committee will help to ensure that repairs and rehabilitation of the county’s sewage treatment plants take place in a timely and efficient manner, said county spokeswoman Katie GrilliRobles. They will meet bimonthly with the Commissioner of Public Works and the Office of Legislative Budget.

“The Democrats are seeking political cover after being criticized for limiting repairs at the sewage treatment plants.

Environmental groups and editorial boards across Long Island all know that repairs must be fully funded and completed in an expeditious manner that’s void of political games. County Executive Mangano calls upon the Democrats to end the political games and fully fund the critical repairs needed to protect homeowners, the environment and our local waterways,” said Brian Nevin, senior policy advisor for Nassau County.
