LONG BEACH GUIDE

a letter from the

2018-2019

publishers We’re forecasting a summer of fun.

Clifford Richner

Stuart Richner

We can predict the future!!! The good news is that life on the barrier isle is about to get a whole lot better.

Days will get longer, the temperatures will rise, schools will close, and for a few too-short months, life will slow down. What’s going on at the White House or City Hall won’t seem quite so important when you’re strolling the boardwalk or catching a wave. Beyond that, our crystal ball says, “Reply hazy, ask me again in September.”

Like a volcano, summer in Long Beach is ready to erupt.

Just the anticipation of summer quickens the heartbeat here in Long Beach. All over town, people are sprucing up homes and businesses for our favorite time of year. Can the crowds of beachgoers be far behind?

If you’ll allow us, we’d like to toot our own horn a bit. Veteran Long Beach Herald Editor Anthony Rifilato, who also oversees the Guide, does an outstanding job 52 weeks a year. Now the Press Club of Long Island has recognized him and reporter Bridget Downes with the prestigious Robert W. Greene Public Service Award for their dogged reporting in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This is particularly sweet for Tony because Greene was his journalism professor and a mentor at Hofstra University. We're so proud of Tony and Bridget.

They're out there working for you every day.

• • •

Memorial Day marks the official start of the beach season and the unofficial start of summer. Those of us with sand in our shoes look forward to the respite of long, lazy summer days as we return to our beloved ocean and beach.

Long Beach is a great place to live 52 weeks a year, but summer is its time to shine. A look through this year’s Guide reveals just how jam-packed with activities this summer will be. We have worked to make this, our 28th edition of the Guide, the most complete source of information about Civitas Ad Mare, the City by the Sea, and the adjoining communities of East Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach and Point Lookout.

The Long Beach Guide is a special publication of the Long Beach Herald, the hometown newspaper of the barrier isle. The Guide is published in cooperation with the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, and we are honored to mark another year as the official publication of the chamber.

We hope you find this issue of the Long Beach Guide useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Long Beach Herald 52 weeks a year. Have a great summer, and we’ll catch you on the beach!

LONG BEACH GUIDE

greetings from the

Long Beach chamBer The evolving Long Beach chamber of commerce Community, relevance, economic development It's a simmering 90 degrees in New York City, but in Long Beach, it’s a gorgeous 65, with blue skies and a slight breeze. You can smell the pizza baking at Gino’s across the street as you get off the LIRR and stroll down to one of the most highly rated beaches in the U.S. That’s how it is all summer long here, and it's just one of the many reasons visitors from around the world descend on our beautiful city every year.

The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce has so many new faces this year, with a renewed enthusiasm to create relevant events that benefit all of our members and the local community. This summer is lining up to be a great one.

There are several new businesses, ranging from eateries to fashion shops, that have opened over the past year. The beach is in magnificent condition, with all new jetties, and the boardwalk remains the star of the show, a 2.2-mile-long hardwood haven for cyclists, runners and walkers. It features internet access provided by the city and is lined with concession stands — all renewed after a long cold winter and just waiting to serve scrumptious snacks and beverages.

The chamber’s volunteer board is comprised of residents and business owners with boundless enthusiasm to serve the businesses and community and make Long Beach a better place to live, work and play. The new chamber has been reinventing both the face and the spirit of the chamber.

The board has organized new events like the rooftop party held at the Allegria Hotel last November honoring Tim and Christina Kramer for their charitable work collecting and delivering supplies to the victims of Hurricane Harvey by launching Waves of Hope. And the Electric Light Parade, where thousands of residents and visitors line West Beech Street, and watch over 80 decorated floats, vehicles and the sounds of the holidays through pipe bands and filling the shops and restaurants with holiday business.

The Long Beach Chamber of Commerce will host the first-ever Home & Garden show at Kennedy Plaza featuring the Long Beach Farmers’ Market, family activities and live music. The show will also feature a “Tiny Beach House” tour and auction, with all proceeds going to

Courtesy Senator Kaminsky’s office

State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, members of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce and others held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the grand opening of Reign, a new clothing boutique in the West End that recently opened at 872 W. Beech St. From left were Sean Favata and Ray Smith, of Blacksmith’s Breads; Kelly Sullivan and Leah Tozer, of the chamber; Wendy Lombardo and Jenna Morace of Reign; Senator Kaminksy; Anontella Gagliano, of Benifitness; and City Councilman John Bendo.

Habitat for Humanity Long Island.

Another change is the way the Boardwalk Fairs are presented, with vendors occupying only the north side of the boardwal,k allowing for an easier passage of foot traffic with unobstructed views of our incredible beach.

The new board has already established a wonderful working relationship with the City of Long Beach, working hand in hand with the Department of Economic Development and meeting with city officials regularly.

The Chamber of Commerce sided with local business owners when a fee was introduced to property owners for street cleaning, and worked with the city to create a cleaning crew funded by the city. The chamber provided free garbage cans to its members and helped educate store owners about sanitation polices.

The board continues to work with the city helping fund and install flowers and plants throughout the business district as part of a beautification initiative. Our Business 2.0 committee is working with the city’s legal department to update the law regarding home-based businesses and encourage the new digital entrepreneurs of the world to come to Long Beach because it is the best place for business!

We are building relationships with many Long Beach civic groups to work to-

gether and assist in supporting residents and businesses in many ways.

At a meeting in April 2018, the Army Corps of Engineers presented photos of a previous sand replenishment project in Rockaway Beach in 2013 that showed the process of hydraulically pumping sand onto the beach. The same process would be used for Long Beach’s sand replenishment.

Protecting

the barrier island The Army Corps of Engineers is preparing for the second phase of the $230 million coastal protection project — sand replenishment — which is intended to protect the barrier island from future potentially destructive storms like Hurricane Sandy.

The first phase, reconstructing 15 jetties, or groins, along the beach, was completed in the winter, and is intended to prevent erosion and help protect the shoreline between Jones and East Rockaway inlets from harsh storms. The project began in Point Lookout in 2016.

After a year of hauling about 250,000 tons of stone, Army Corps workers began cleaning the beach and staging areas at New York Avenue and Neptune Boulevard in April 2018. Officials said the groins are functioning properly and would be moni-

tored by the Army Corps for 50 years.

About 4 million cubic yards of sand for beach and dunes would be hydraulically pumped onto the beach and Americans with Disabilities Act compliant vehicle and pedestrian crossovers would be built to provide access from the boardwalk to the beach.

The project is projected to cost $51 million and is fully federally funded. While the construction schedule is not yet available, officials said they don’t expect major work to begin before the busy summer season other than pile driving for some of the crossover foundations.

Army Corps Project Manager Dan Falt said 1,000-foot sections of the beach would be closed off at a time to allow for the sand placement.

The dredged sand will be taken from

Jones Inlet and checked for quality multiple times. It will probably be dark-colored at first, Falt said, then whiten in about a week, as well as flatten to a natural slope.

The bulldozing process to shape the beach profile would run continuously.

Falt said there would be temporary impacts on the quality of surfing, and that there would be a path for emergency vehicles. There would be a total of 14 crossovers, including 10 that would be 10 feet wide and four that would be 30 eet wide at New York Avenue, and National, Neptune and Riverside boulevards. Two of them — at New York Avenue and National Boulevard — would have bathroom stations while the Riverside Boulevard crossover would have a lifeguard station.

a look into the

PAST

Long Beach is one of the older, more established communities on Long Island. In 1880, the first Long Beach Hotel was built, and the area continued to grow at a steady pace — the railroad arrived in 1882, promoting Long Beach as a resort community for vacationers.

Modern Long Beach was conceived in 1906 by Sen. William H. Reynolds; he had a vision for a planned Sen.William community and saw what Long Beach could become: an unrivaled seaside resort. During World War I, however, his “Estates of Long Beach” concept met with financial failure, leaving large summer homes vacant.

Still, Reynolds’s dream and accomplishments — he built many of the early homes and structures in town, including the boardwalk — set the stage for what Long Beach would eventually become. By the 1930s, Long Beach had evolved into a year-round community.

The Long Beach Historical Society’s museum, at 226 W. Penn St. — one of the original estates of Long Beach — is complete with exhibits and guides who can speak about the city’s history in detail.

Long Beach is, without a doubt, the crown jewel of the South Shore, a vibrant beach community that boasts a wide range of entertainment and recreational activities, everything from surfing and beach volleyball to dining and nightlife.

Throughout the year, Long Beach has something for everyone, and it’s no surprise that the city of roughly 33,000 residents appears on numerous “Best Of” lists.

Long Beach is home to several professional surfers, including Will and Cliff Skudin, Balaram Stack and T.J. Gumiela; a light heavyweight boxing champion, Seanie Monaghan; newly minted National Hockey League player and Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy; five-time state wrestling champion Jacori Teemer; and members the of rock band Taking Back Sunday, to name a few. It is also the hometown of actor Billy Crystal and musician Joan Jett.

With five miles of beautiful beaches, why go to the Hamptons?

Long Beach has made a tremendous comeback since Hurricane Sandy — there are numerous restaurants and bars throughout the city, as well as shops and trendy clothing boutiques, four surf shops and two hotels.

Long Beach has a new, 2.2-mile boardwalk, and residents and visitors alike can enjoy many amenities such as food trucks and boardwalk concessions offering a wider variety of food options; a trapeze school; two surf schools and volleyball leagues; the Hurley Surf Center; a number of refurbished children’s parks; live concerts on the beach, and much more. Social Bikes is returning as well, as are beach movie nights, Arts in the Plaza and so much more.

The city’s residents continue to give back to their hometown, whether through beach and canal cleanups, rebuilding efforts, or boardwalk races to support displaced storm victims or wounded military servicemen and women.

Each year, thousands dash into the frigid waters with the Long Beach Polar Bears for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, while the local Mustaches for Kids crew grows mustaches to raise money to help fight pediatric cancer. And, of course, there is the annual Michelle O’Neill Volleyball Tournament, one of the most popular events of the year. 2018 also marks the return of the Pride on the Beach June 8-10, featuring live performances on the beach, a parade and more.

So grab a board and ride a wave, fly through the air on a trapeze overlooking the ocean, go for a bike ride, or take in the sights while stand-up paddleboarding, fishing or kayaking. Long Beach is an ideal recreational getaway that’s close to home.

Musician Rachel Platten headlined last year’s Pride on the Beach concert.

T

housands of people flooded the streets of Long Beach and waved rainbow flags in the summer of 2017 as residents and visitors marched in the city’s first Pride parade, which had previously taken place in Huntington.

Pride on the Beach, a three-day festival organized by the LGBT Network, featured a parade that brought out about 5,000 people. The event also included a beach concert featuring headliner Rachel Platten, as well as a beach party, a carnival, a 5K, a Shabbat service and more. The festival will return to Long Beach from June 8 to 10, 2018.

Among more than 85 groups that marched, organizers said, were Planned Parenthood, United Food and Commercial Workers OUTreach, advocacy group PFLAG Long Island, the Floral Park Memorial High School Gay-Straight Alliance club and at least 25 other schools from around the island.

“We came together to celebrate and have a good time but today ... was a message of a call to action,” said David Kilmnick, chief executive officer of the LGBT Network and a co-founder of the Long Island Pride parade, in 2017. “What it really showed was that we are a strong, united Long Island community and that we’re going to stand together ... No matter who you are, we’re going to fight for each other and make sure that we have safety, equality and justice for all.”

After the parade, a group of surfers gathered in a circle for a memorial paddle-out organized by Skudin Surf to commemorate the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.

This year’s festivities will include a carnival, parade, beach concert, VIP beach club, pet parade, boat parade, Shabbat service, 5K, fun run, beach party, special West End events, a cabaret night, a Pride market fair and a memorial paddle-out.

The Rise with Pride parade runs from noon to 1:30 p.m., and will feature floats, performers, student and professional marching bands and more. The parade will close roads along the route. It will be followed by a beach concert from 1 to 6 p.m.

Michelle O’Neill Volleyball

21 years strong One of the biggest and most popular events in Long Beach, the Michelle O’Neill Foundation marked its 21st annual volleyball tournament in September 2017, an event that attracted thousands of participants and spectators to the nets along Long Beach’s shore for competitive and recreational play.

The day honors Michelle O’Neill, who died of cancer in 1996 at age 24, and has grown to become one of Long Beach’s most prominent events. During the inaugural event in 1997, the foundation raised $17,000 as volleyball players competed across 11 nets. Foundation president and Michelle’s mother, Carol O’Neill, said last year was the most well attended, as there were 388 registered teams and 61 nets.

The nonprofit organization surpassed 2015’s total of $165,000, which benefits children with cancer and special needs.

The foundation supports Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude’s Research Hospital, the American Cancer Society, and the Frances Pope Foundation, among other organizations, but O’Neill said most of the funds are distributed directly to families who need assistance in covering medical expenses. The foundation’s mission is to provide financial assistance and relief to families who are facing the economic and emotional stresses associated with caring for a child with a catastrophic illness and to support oncology organizations that serve them.

For more information about the foundation or to register for this year’s tournament, visit www.monfoundation.org.

he dining options in Long Beach are numerous, whether you’re taking in a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean at the posh Allegria Hotel or grabbing some good ol’ barbecue at Swingbellys in the bustling West End. This summer, there will be a wider variety of food concessions along the beach and boardwalk than ever before, providing residents and visitors with an abundance of choices in convenient locations. The food truck court at Riverside Boulevard — The Shoregasboard — will return, along with the stationary and mobile carts on the beach and boardwalk. Whether you’re craving a taco, a stacked sandwich or some ice cream to cool off after a long day at the beach, there are plenty of dining options available along the boardwalk and around the city.

This year will see the return of four boardwalk eateries — Beach Local Cafe, Gentle Brew, Riptides and Shakes and Shuckers — at comfort stations at Grand, National, Edwards and Lincoln boulevards.

The comfort stations will be open from Memorial Day and beyond Labor Day, and sample menus can be found at www.

LongBeachLife.com. The food truck court will see the return of local businesses such as New York ACAI, Sugo Café and Lido Kosher Deli, and Don Juan Taco, as well as new additions this year that include Waffle Cabin, Gourmet Mobile Express and Chopped Salads.

Returning on the boardwalk is Cultured: Yogurt and Waffle Bar, while Cones and Cups will delight residents and tourists alike.

And of course, Long Beach is home to dozens of restaurants serving up delectable fare all year round.

he enclosed Ice Arena is adjacent to the Recreation Center and is home to the New York Apple Core youth hockey team, the Long Beach Sharks junior hockey team, and is the former practice facility for the New York Rangers.

The Ice Arena features a teen center, snack bar and party area. Skate classes and hockey tournaments are held at the arena, which is open year-round.

The city also owns tennis courts, currently leased to a private organization for operation.

The tennis courts are enclosed so they can be used year-round. The bayfront offers its own type of recreation, including fishing, kayaking, standup paddling and boating. Bayfront esplanades run the length of Veteran’s Memorial Park and along West Bay Drive from Magnolia Boulevard to Washington Boulevard.

Public access is also available behind the tennis bubbles at the northern terminus of Monroe Boulevard. Although no fishing is permitted at this location, a fishing pier is located at the terminus of Magnolia Boulevard.

Courtesy Long Beach Sharks The Long Beach Sharks tapped former professional hockey player Bobby Davis to the lead club following a 2016-17 season that featured a berth in the North American 3 Hockey League Silver Cup championships.

Beach passes are available at the Gazebo.

Y

ou might say Long Beach is one big park. After all, its beautiful beach is referred to as the “Ocean Beach Park.” But Long Beach also has numerous children’s playgrounds that dot the entire city. During the summer, parks are staffed with recreation staff who supply cold water, sidewalk chalk, jump ropes and more. They also are there to make sure that all of the equipment is in working order. The Department of Parks and Recreation will once again provide Family Fun in the Park this summer in rotating parks throughout the season. The program features family-friendly activities, shows, games and more. Visit longbeachny.gov/ rec for more information.

PLAYGROUNDS Playground facilities are located at: • Georgia Avenue* and West Beech Street; • Magnolia Boulevard and the Boardwalk; • Pacific Boulevard* and Shore Road; • Park Place* and West Hudson Street; • Clark Street* at Reynolds Channel; • Veterans Park located on the Recreation Department Campus on Magnolia Boulevard and West Bay Drive. (*Notes playgrounds equipped with a splash component that is active in the summer when weather permits.)

Donovan Berthoud/Herald

New Jersey’s Ashley O’Gorman competed in the NYSEA Bowl and Street Bash Skate Contest at the city’s skate park, where amateur and professional skateboarders vied for cash and sponsorship prizes.

ong Beach marked the grand opening of its new skate park in 2015 with its first Bowla-Rama Skate Jam Contest, presented by Skudin Surf.

The skate park was designed by California-based firm Spohn Ranch, which used input gathered form Long Beach residents and skaters at two public engagement meetings to construct a park tailored to the wishes of local skaters. The structure was designed to accommodate skaters of all ages and skill levels.

The new park is on National Boulevard, on the bay side, closer to the Recreation Center than the previous one on Magnolia Boulevard. It is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The old park was significantly damaged by Hurricane Sandy and many in the skateboarding community called it outdated. The new park has switched from modular ramps to concrete ones that require less maintenance, among other improvements.

The new park includes an amoeba bowl, a combination horseshoe bowl and mini-ramp, a speed hump and numerous handrails and stairs. Its 15,000-square-foot L-shape more than doubled the size of the old park, officials said.

T

he Long Beach Public Schools are comprised of East, Lido, Lindell and West elementary schools, Long Beach Middle School, Long Beach High School and the NIKE Work Based Learning Center. The district also offers a pre-Kindergarten program and an Adult Learning Center that provides resources for adults and families in the community.

The district is focused on educating the “whole child” through the combination of a rigorous academic program, social and emotional growth initiatives and extensive extra-curricular opportunities. Each year, students excel in academics, the arts and athletics, achieving regional, state and national recognition. The schools maintain a close connection to the community and encourage involvement in the world beyond the classrooms.

The high school is an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, and in 2015, the middle school became Nassau County’s first authorized IB Middle Years Program school. At the elementary level, IB Learner Profile principles are highlighted through the SPIRIT program. The number of IB Diploma candidates has grown each year, and 61 members of the class of 2017 completed the program.

The schools integrate literacy and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) throughout the curriculum in order to prepare students for success. Upgraded school facilities, such as libraries and science labs support these efforts, as do ubiquitous wireless on all campuses. In 2016, the district launched a secondary 1:1 Chromebook initiative, supported by the Smart Schools Bond Act, which has equipped all students in grades seven to 12 with their own Chromebook devices. Sixth-graders have access to Chromebooks during the school day.

At the high school level, students are prepared for college as well as careers. Roughly 50 college-level courses are offered through the IB, AP, and dual enrollment classes affiliated with colleges. The high school has placed highly on the Washington Post’s list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools, and is among the top 2 percent of high schools in this ranking nationally.

g n i n r o M Madness LBHS fashion show supports post-prom safety

L

ong Beach High School students rivaled runway models during the 27th annual Morning Madness Fashion Show fundraiser on April 23, 2018. The event, organized by the Parent Teacher Student Association, supports the substance-free Morning Madness postprom celebration.

Morning Madness provides an opportunity for seniors to create memories in a fun, safe environment as they finish off prom night at Dave and Busters of Westbury. Every year, students look forward to entering raffles that have become known to provide extraordinary prizes.

Because of the collaborative efforts among various classes, clubs, departments, volunteers and district staff members, the

fashion show proved successful. Everything from fashion details, technological features to behind-the-scenes setup produced a formal, festive ambiance. Morning Madness Committee members and PTSA volunteers also chipped in during the planning process.

Dollface Cosmetics and Bonnie Stern from Mary Kay helped to get the students runway-ready, while Maria Perrone worked with them on choreography and Adriane Glassberg served as model coordinator. Brixx and Barley and Bel Aire provided food for the students, and Once Upon a Party donated balloons.

Masters of ceremonies Jason Churchfield, Hanna Katz, Sammy Gibson and Jackie Gravina announced the models

and described their attire. Gowns were provided courtesy of the Dessy Group of New York City as well as donations from past graduates.

The occasion is one of the many efforts the PTSA coordinates to make Morning Madness possible, and the group is still working toward its goal. Anyone interested in becoming a sponsor or making a donation should contact Morning Madness Committee Co-Chair AnnMarie Scandole at amscandole@optonline.net.

Jackie Gravina showed off her prom dress at this year’s Morning Madness fashion show, which supports the substance-free post-prom celebration.

he Economic Opportunity Commission of Nassau County celebrated the grand opening of its stateof-the art Long Beach Head Start facility in 2016, serving a new wave of young children and their families in the city’s North Park neighborhood.

The elevated three-story building, at 1 East Pine St., is 16,000 square feet and features four large classrooms, one multi-purpose space, Smart Boards, staff offices and a fully enclosed rooftop playground and solar panel system. The $9.3 million facility — set to accommodate an expanded enrollment of 67 children and families — was fully funded by the Federal Office Administration for Children and Families Hurricane Sandy Emergency Relief Funds.

Head Start, established by Congress in 1965, is a federally funded education

program designed to meet the needs of low-income children and their families.

It is the only national program of its kind that uses a comprehensive services approach to early childhood education, and consists of activities in art, language, math and science. Nutrition, health, social services as well as psychological and speech therapy are also provided. The Head Start program has served the Long

Beach community since 1979, providing services for more than 2,300 families during that time, and on the same plot of land.

In addition to an upgrade in size and resources, the new facility was built with future storms in mind and features a strengthened foundation, 1.25-inch-thick glass and the ability to withstand winds up to 140 miles per hour, according to Universal Design and Construction management, a Nassau County minorityowned business who built the structure.

Such winds would be significantly faster than those experienced during Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012, which topped out at 96 miles per hour on Long Island, according to the National Weather Service.

MLK Center OF LONG BEACH T

he Long Beach Martin Luther King Center Inc. is a grassroots community organization dedicated to improving the health, educational attainment, human welfare and opportunities for youth, adults and families in Long Beach.

The Long Beach Martin Luther King Center Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable tax-exempt organization serving children, individuals and families in the City of Long Beach, and greater Nassau County, since 1998. Designated as the hub of the North Park residential area, the MLK Center is committed to develop innovative programming and maintaining and improving the well-being of youth, adults and seniors.

The MLK Center traces its origins to 1967, when local African-American community organizers began to develop an institution they could call their own. In 1981, completion of the MLK Community Center occurred simultaneously with the development of new MLK Center programs. For more than 40 years, the total programming package of the MLK Center has been a mixture of community activism, urban culture, traditional southern experience, and the traditional experiences of Caribbean American, Hispanic and Central American immigrants who have become a growing part of the North Park community.

The city’s Department of Economic Development launched a number of initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses and attracting visitors to Long Beach.

economic development

Looking Toward The FuTure The Department of Economic Development and Planning’s mission is to encourage economic sustainability and growth in the City of Long Beach by supporting local businesses and attracting new ones, creating jobs, as well as improving the city’s overall quality of life through the integration of resiliency into policy and practice.

The department seeks funding for the city in support of this mission. Created in 2013, the department is responsible for economic development in support of the business community, the Long Beach Local Development Corporation, many city grants, and support for LBNY Arts Council.

The department is also responsible for planning initiative and works on environmental issues, including the protection of the Lloyd Aquifer, as well as transportation issues, such as implementing complete streets policies, including the creation of bike lanes to foster a healthier, safer and less auto-dependent community.

Economic Development works on several initiatives to help local businesses and residents and works closely with the Chamber of Commerce. Some of the major initiatives over the past year have included new grants for the city, focusing on business seminars, the growth of a bike share program and the update to the comprehensive plan.

The department also supports the Long Beach Local View video series, which spotlights local businesses by creating one- to two-minute customized videos.

Visit the city’s official Facebook page or www.longbeachlife.com to view the segments.

Economic Development and Planning also provides a business support seminar series. The main goals of these seminars are to: • Aid local businesses.

• Learn about available support with oneon-one advice from experts in specific fields.

• Share innovative ideas.

• Use innovative ways to leverage technology for success.

• Network with fellow Long Beach business owners.

Previous seminar topics have included: grant information, small-business development, women-owned businesses, loans, energy audits, technology integra-

Moving forward The city is dedicated to moving forward with Complete Streets initiatives. Long Beach was awarded two grants totaling $1.25 million from the New York State Department of State, to be matched by capital funds, for the design and construction of improvements along Park Avenue to create a more resilient and connected commercial corridor, including bicycle lanes, traffic-calming measures, drainage upgrades and streetscape improvements. The city was also awarded a little more than $1 million from the State Department of Transportation, with a 20 percent match by capital funds, to do similar work along Edwards Boulevard.

tion, marketing and events. The outcomes of these seminars include an increase in online presence, applying for grant funding and collaborative partnerships.

The department maintains an email list of local businesses to provide them with updates on valuable information about goings-on in the city. If you would like your business to be added, email EconomicDevelopment@longbeachny.gov.

Since 2015, the city has partnered with Social Bicycles to bring a bike share program to Long Beach. Last season, SoBi had more than 7,500 members sign up, who took more than 27,872 rides. Bike rack locations were strategically placed around the city, with several on the boardwalk, as that is the most preferred recreational bike route during the summer season. SoBi is back for its fourth season, with expanded docking locations.

The city was awarded state funding to update its Comprehensive Plan, which is being implemented to include long-term and short-term recommendations, such as economic sustainability and environmental resiliency, focusing on downtown revitalization and transit-oriented development opportunities, affordable housing, anti-gentrification measures, preventing overdevelopment, and preserving neighborhood character. Once the draft Comprehensive Plan is passed, the next phase will be an update to the city’s zoning and building codes.

MEDICAL

Services South Nassau Communities Hospital’s Emergency Department at Long Beach provides convenient and high-quality emergency medical care to the residents of and visitors to the barrier island 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Located on South Nassau’s Long Beach Campus, at 325 E. Bay Drive, the Emergency Department is staffed with the same board-certified emergency medicine physicians and certified emergency nurses, and same diagnostic equipment available in South Nassau’s hospital-based emergency room in Oceanside.

More than 28,224 patients have used the Emergency Department in Long Beach for a wide range of medical emergencies, from lacerations to broken bones to pneumonia to stroke and heart attack since its opening in August 2015.

Of those treated at the Long Beach facility, 87 percent have been treated and released home without having to leave the barrier island for hospital admission or advanced levels of medical treatment.

Seventy-six percent of patients have arrived at the emergency department on their own — either by car, on foot or by public transportation — with about 11 percent arriving by ambulance via the 911 system.

Roughly 8.4 percent of patients treated by the Emergency Department have been transferred and admitted to the hospital in Oceanside.

Additionally, patient satisfaction with the care and clinical staff at the Emergency Department since its opening ranks in the 92nd percentile nationwide, according to HealthStream®. Patients gave high scores to bedside care, communication and compassion

of the Emergency Department’s staff.

Late last summer, an emergency dock was installed to provide access to the Emergency Department from Reynolds Channel.

South Nassau’s Free-Standing Emergency Department at Long Beach 325 E. Bay Drive Emergency: 911 Non-emergency line: (516) 870-1010 Hours: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week No appointment necessary Services are available daily, on a walk-in and emergency basis. The E.D. is a 911-receiving facility and will treat all urgent and emergency medical conditions. Under existing Department of Health protocol, certain heart attack, stroke and other lifethreatening cases may be diverted to the appropriate hospital, including South Nassau, which is a Level II trauma center. Additionally, patients who require continued hospital care, admission to the main hospital, are transferred to the main campus in Oceanside via a South Nassau ambulance that is on site 24/7. Transfers are paid for by South Nassau.

Long Beach taking steps to protect the environment

L

ong Beach businesses began charging 5 cents in 2017 for each carryout bag that shoppers use, thanks to a new city ordinance aimed at reducing the negative environmental and economic impacts of single-use plastic and paper bags.

Long Beach is the first municipality in Nassau County to implement such a fee. Plastic and paper bag waste contributes to, and hinders the ability to protect against, climate change and rising sea levels, officials said, adding that it is also a quality-of-life issue, because bags not only blow around the city and into trees, but also block storm drains.

After a seven-month public education effort, rollout of the new law coincided with a number of Earth Day events to raise awareness of the measure and encourage shoppers to pick up, and use, free reusable bags.

What to know about the new law • All businesses began charging a minimum fee of 5 cents for each carryout, single-use bag made of plastic, paper or reusable material — thicker plastic or cloth — encouraging shoppers to bring reusable bags.

• All fees collected will be retained by the businesses — the city will not keep any portion of the fee.

• All businesses are encouraged to post signs at or near points of sale to inform customers.

• Businesses may devise alternatives for food delivery, such as cardboard boxes or insulated delivery bags.

What’s exempt?

• The fee does not apply to bags without handles that are used to carry produce, meat, loose baked goods, dry-cleaning,

newspapers, liquor, flowers or other non-prepackaged food items, or those provided by a doctor, pharmacist or veterinarian for prescription drugs.

• Bags will be free for customers using the New York State Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

• Customers using bags of any kind that they have brought with them will not be charged.

How will it be enforced?

• Like most city ordinances, enforcement will made in response to complaints to the city. City officials said they would continue to work with the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses to ensure that they are aware of the ordinance.

Town & County Nassau County Long Beach became a city in 1922, but it is also part of Nassau County, and certain county services and facilities are available to Long Beach residents. In fact, barrier island residents who live outside the city limits — in East Atlantic Beach to the west and Lido Beach and Point Lookout to the east — depend on them.

Nassau is governed by an elected Legislature that was formed in January 1996. The Legislature’s 19 districts enable constituents to have greater access to their elected representatives. It includes an independent budget director who advises the Legislature on spending and revenue matters.

The Legislature also enables residents to submit petitions for proposed new laws that legislators are obligated to consider.

The legislators serve two-year terms. The 4th District includes the City of Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Lido Beach and Point Lookout.

The county executive — currently Laura Curran — serves a four-year term and is the chief administrator.

Town of hempstead The Town of Hempstead is the largest township in the United States, with 142 square miles, a population of roughly 725,000, 34 unincorporated areas, 22 incorporated villages, over 65 parks and marinas, and 2,500 miles of city, county and state roads.

In 1643, two Englishmen, John Carman and the Rev. Robert Fordham, traveled from Connecticut across the Long Island Sound to Long Island. They represented a group of settlers who wished to purchase from the Indians (the Reuckowacky, the Merockes, the Matinecock, and the Massapequas), the current towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead. In 1644, the Town of Hempstead was founded when a patent was obtained from William Kieft, the Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam. The name Hempstead seems to derive from Hemel-Hempstead in Great Britain, which means town spot.

Hempstead grew steadily in the 1800s, and by 1855 it was the most populous town in Queens County, with just under 10,500 people. The town, along with the rest of Long Island, supplied the greater metropolitan area with a multitude of farm products and provided abundant recreational opportunities, including seashore resorts, fox hunting, polo and horse racing. The population peaked at just over 800,000 in 1970, and has now leveled off at 725,000.

Today, on the Long Beach barrier island, the Town of Hempstead encompasses Point Lookout and Lido Beach to the east and East Atlantic Beach and Atlantic Beach to the west. The town maintains two marinas in Point Lookout as well as several beach parks.

Hempstead Town has seven elected board members. The supervisor, Laura Gillen, serves a two-year term. The six council members serve four years each.
