Democrats, Republicans spar over sewage funding by Douglas Finlay 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.” trust the Mangano “We 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
Movies at Cedar Creek
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. -Laura Schofer contributed to this story

by Laura Schofer “We can’t build an ark, so we need to find a viable solution,” said Rob Weltner, executive director of SPLASH, at a meeting held at the SPLASH headquarters, still in the midst of renovation after being hit by superstorm Sandy. Mr. Weltner told an assembled audience of contractors, homeowners and municipal employees, that “we have to keep an open mind and look at all kinds of solutions to fix this [flooding] problem.” At the meeting was Frank Kelly, CEO of Global Defence Systems and its subsidiary UK Flood Barriers, invited by SPLASH to make a presentation about his company’s flood mitigation products. He told the audience that one way to combat the changing weather patterns is to use the force of nature – in this case rising flood waters – to trigger passive systems, including backflow devices and flood walls that are deployed when the water level rises, and keeps the flood water away from our homes. This design concept was pioneered by the Dutch, who know “a little something about mitigating flood waters. They design flood barriers for a one-in-10,000 year event,” said Mr. Kelly. He recommends a combination of protective measures to combat flood events and could include door and low-level window barriers, nonreturn valves for sewage and utility pumps, the installation of sumps and pumps, and airbrick replacements. But each house, each situation, is unique, said Mr. Kelly, who has been to Freeport on three occasions since December to evaluate the damage the recent storms have caused to homes and businesses in Freeport.
“We have been desperately searching for answers,” said Mr. Weltner in a telephone interview. “I have contacts with environmental groups around the world and they are way ahead of us. They said take a look at what we are doing in the UK [United Kingdom]. We’ve adapted, so can you. So we took a look.” For example, in Cockermouth, a town in Cumbria, the northwestern region of England, the Rivers Derwent and Cocker both broke their banks after a record rainfall of 12.3 inches fell in just 24 hours in 2009. Water levels rose eight feet, two inches and the river flow reached 20 knots, resulting in over 200 million English pounds (over $300 million) worth of damage to homes, possessions and businesses in the area. This flood was considered to be a one-in-450-year occurrence. Cockermouth’s economy depends in part on tourism. There is the Cockermouth Castle and the town was the home of William Wordsworth, the English poet. The Allerdale Borough Council knew it needed to address the flooding situation and chose to install a self-closing barrier (over 115 liner meters) along the River Cocker to rise in a flood event and offer protection to the town. Otherwise, the barrier is not seen and does not mar the landscape. “Our situation here [on Long Island] is different, but we can learn from what others have done. Some of it is common sense,” said Mr. Weltner. For example, homes in the village of Chew Magna, south of Bristol, England suffered extensive and continuous damage from the eight floods the town has suffered over the last 40 years. To complicate matters, the village is a designated conserva-
tion area – homes are landmarked and the exteriors cannot be drastically altered. The Bath and North East Somerset Council decided to apply for grant money to help identify properties at risk and came up with a plan to protect those homes. It used a variety of measures, including door and low-level window barriers, nonreturn valves for sewage and utility pipes, the installation of sumps and pumps, and airbrick replacements. The first phase secured 33 houses; the second phase secured an additional 39 homes. “Some of this stuff, we can do. It’s cheap, like a sewage backflow device. Just think what this would have meant to people here,” said Mr. Weltner. What’s the next step? Last month’s event at SPLASH headquarters on the Nautical Mile was the first
opportunity to introduce local contractors to ideas and products that may help mitigate flooding. Mr. Weltner said SPLASH will work with contractors and architects to help them learn about the different flood mitigation techniques. “We will help them incorporate what they have done with these new products and ideas,” he said. Furthermore, SPLASH will recommend contractors who have developed expertise in flood mitigation techniques and products to homeowners. Interested homeowners may contact SPLASH at www.operationsplash.org “People are going to need to do a variety of things to keep the water out,” said Mr. Weltner. “We can’t stop a tsunami but we can stop tidewater. It’s a better than elevate or evacuate.”

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. L.T.
History of The WantaghSeaford Citizen The Wantagh Citizen was founded in 1953 by Harry La Belle. His mission statement was to “chronicle with accuracy and impartiality, reflecting Wantagh’s Way of Life – an integral fibre in the fabric of our great country.” In the mid 1970s, when Johannes and Faith Laursen bought The Citizen, they gave it the same motto already held by neighboring Bellmore and Merrick Life.

Mr. Errico repor ted to the crew that he had chest pains after shoveling snow. While in the SFD ambulance, Mr. Errico went into sudden cardiac and respirator y arrest. The SFD rescue crew immediately went into action and star ted CPR, applied a defibrillator and successfully resuscitated the patient. He was then rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Bethpage where the emergency room staf f continued life suppor t ef for ts. Mr. Errico later was transferred to St. Francis Hospital where he spent many months recuperating. Having sur vived this medical emergency, Mr. Errico and his family visited the Seaford Fire Depar tment in June to thank the rescue team for saving his life.

Life was just beginning for him and his beautiful wife, Nicole. After being married for two years, they just moved in to their new house which they saved for years to buy and he just started a new job two days prior to being admitted to the emergency room. Today, after three major heart surgeries, Joe is hospitalized awaiting a heart transplant. As a member of the Scarmozzino and Winter families, who are all Wantagh High School Alumni, Joe and his wife Nicole Winter-Taylor
need assistance in the unexpected, overwhelming expenses. All are invited to support them on Sunday, August 11, 4 p.m. at ET Quigg’s, 2807 Merrick Road, Bellmore. There is a $20 donation as well as $3 Quigg’s Summer Ale, with proceeds to benefit the Joe Taylor fund. There will also be a band, BBQ, 50/50 and raffles (please bring beach chairs). If you cannot attend donations can be mailed to ET Quigg’s, checks payable to Nicole Winter-Taylor. u u u BREAST CANCER SCREENING: New York State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick), in conjunction with NuHealth/Nassau Health Care Corporation, will be sponsoring a breast cancer screening program on Thursday, August 15, from 8:45 a.m.-noon at the Merrick Library, 2279 Merrick Avenue, Merrick. Appointments are necessary and will be scheduled on a firstcome, first-served basis. Onsite nurses and technicians will provide a mammography, a clinical breast examination and instructions for self examination. Patients and their physicians will be notified of the exam results. NuHealth’s guidelines
aimed to be “the glue that helps hold a community together and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.” It was soon expanded to be The Wantagh-Seaford Citizen because, as local Congressman Peter King, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, noted, the communities share many organizations, such as the WantaghSeaford Homeowners Association. Their annual median household income is $77,000. Along with press awards, The Citizen and its staff have received citations from the homeowner's group, Daughters of the American Revolution, the American Legion, the cham-
for the program are as follows: • The program is open to Nassau County women. • Women who are covered by insurance, Medicaid or Medicare will have their carrier billed and must bring their information card to the screening, along with a prescription from their physician. NuHealth policy requires patients to be responsible for any co-pays charged by their carrier. • Women ages 50 and older without health insurance will be eligible to be enrolled in a grant program which covers the costs of the screening at no out-ofpocket cost to the patient. For information call Senator Fuschillo’s office at 882-0630 to make an appointment. u u u WOODY ALLEN FILM SCREENING: Temple B’nai Torah of Wantagh and Temple Beth Am of Merrick invite the community to screen the 1989 Woody Allen classic “Crimes and Misdemeanors” starring Woody Allen, Martin Landau, and Claire Bloom at Temple B’nai Torah – 2900 Jerusalem Avenue, Wantagh to celebrate Selichot, or Days of Forgiveness on Saturday evening, August 31, at 7 p.m. The evening begins with Havdalah followed by the film and a discussion on how it relates to the holiday and desert.
bers of commerce and several other local groups. Wantagh is known for its Independence Day Parade and Miss Wantagh Contest. Both the Wantagh and Seaford historical societies have homes in historical buildings. The communities are also known for parks and preserves, including the Wantagh Park and Cedar Creek Park, Tackapausha Preserve and Twin Lakes. And, of course, they are the “Gateway to Jones Beach!” We have bound volumes on hand dating back to 1972, and microfilm versions are available at the local libraries.

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.

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

He is charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon, Criminal Possession of Marihuana and three counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance. The investigation revealed that found inside the vehicle was three small blue pills identified as Oxicodone and two bags containing a tan and brown colored powdery substance alleged to be Heroin. Arrested at the scene were: the driver, Adriana R. Rivera, 19, of North Bellmore; front passenger, Jessica A. Levyns, 19, of Bellmore; and left rear passenger Tyler J. Woods, 20, of Massapequa.

by POP Officer Kurt Faraczek NCPD Seventh Precinct The Nassau County Police Department has noted a change in the pattern of residential burglaries within
the confines of the Seventh Precinct. While the police department has implemented directed patrol assignments to address burglaries in your neighborhood, we would like to disseminate the following burglary pre-
vention tips: Burglary prevention tips • Don’t leave windows open or unlocked when the house is unoccupied. • Lock rear gates when not in use. Most burglars will break into your house from the rear where they are less visible to people on the street. • Prune overgrown shrubbery which may hide windows and doors. • Do not leave valuables in bureau drawers in the master bedroom; this is the first place where a burglar will look. • Take close-up pictures of your jewelry. Videotape the interior of the house and keep a copy at another location. • Write down the make, model and serial number of your property. Mark other valuables with an identifying number to help us in tracking down your stolen items. • Have interior lights and a radio/television on timers which go on and off at varying times of the day. • Do not have packages left on the front step all day: if you cannot stay home, arrange for a delivery time or have a neighbor take in the package. • Have a neighbor watch your house if you’ll be away. • Don’t publicize your absence from
the house on the Internet or on voicemail. • Consider installing an alarm and post alarm signs around the perimeter of your residence. • Eliminate the outside mailbox by inserting a mail slot in the front door or the garage door. This not only helps prevent burglaries but also hinders identity theft. • Have outside doors of solid core wood or metal clad; steel doors and frames are the most secure while hollow core doors with wood frames are easily kicked in. • Replace the strike plate screws with longer steel screws that go through the doorjamb and into the door frame. • Use deadbolts with at least a oneinch throw, thereby making the mechanism more difficult to pry or kick open. • Ensure that sliding doors have metal pins or a metal bar installed to prevent them from being pried open. • Install outside motion detection lights at the corners of your home and high enough so that the intruder can’t unscrew the bulb. • If buying a safe, make sure it is of good quality. Many safes that people buy are fire safes which are easily broken into. Bolt down the safe so a burglar can’t carry it away.

IN THE KNOW ABOUT REAL ESTATE Questions and Answers QUESTION: I want to sell my home for the highest and best price. What should I do.....what’s your best advice? Mary Whitaker Lic. Assoc. Broker
Maureen Cappelli Lic. Assoc. Broker
ANSWER: Simple! Grab your camera, cell phone, smart phone, or ipad and begin by shooting photos of your home, from the outside, front, side and back. Then, go indoors and photograph each and every room. Are you done? Now, evaluate these images. Do they show a home that is modern and appealing? If the answer is “yes,” then you may proceed with an appraisal as to value and market conditions, and set the stage to sell. If the answer is “no,” then it’s time to call the contractors for estimates on new kitchens, bathrooms, painting, and modernizing. Contact LIPA for estimates on installing gas, and do get rid of the clutter! It is time for “spiffing-up.” Call a landscaper to set the stage for curb appeal. Once ready, set the price, make yourself available, and sell in-season.
Need to know value and staging? Call us today: (516) 781-5050
