“I arrived at Long Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation after having a stroke.

From the moment I arrived the staff was professional, courteous, and friendly. My therapy started the day I arrived and they worked with me each day. The therapist were highly motivated which increased my motivation and had a direct correlation with my speedy recovery. I can’t staff enough about the wonderful nursing staff that was always caring which also was a huge addition to getting me home sooner. I highly recommend Long Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation and have since recommended family and friends.”- Bob C.

LONG BEACH GUIDE

a letter from the

2019-2020

publisher summer is nearly in full swing Get ready for another spectacular summer in Long Beach!

The city is thriving with new and eclectic eateries and shops, and there’s no shortage of nightlife and entertainment, whether you’re in the East End or West End. The Army Corps has wrapped the bulk of its work on a major coastal protection project decades in the making, and the beach has been restored — and widened — following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Our annual summer guide is a testament to the city’s Stuart comeback — not only does it include important inforRichner mation about Long Beach, but a roundup of some of the most popular — and new — events of the year, not to mention a rundown of summer activities for residents and visitors alike.

This summer will see two major surfing contests that are poised to generate buzz about Long Beach — the World Surf League’s elite Longboard Tour and the New York Standup Paddle Board Open.

And the city’s annual Summer Concert Series, beach volleyball and the popular “Shoregasboard” will soon be in full swing.

All over town, people are sprucing up homes and businesses for our favorite time of year — and the crowds of beachgoers are not far behind.

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 29th 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!

With five miles of beautiful beautiful beaches, 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 has made a tremendous comeback since Hurricane Sandy; 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, and, of course, there is the annual Michelle O’Neill Volleyball Tournament, one of the most popular events of the year. There is also the annual Irish Day Parade in the West End, and this year also marks the return of the Pride on the Beach, featuring live performances, a parade and more.

Long Beach is known for its dining scene, and there are numerous restaurants and bars featuring live music and entertainment throughout the city, as well as shops and trendy clothing boutiques, four surf shops and two hotels. The city’s burgeoning food scene has helped fuel a renaissance in town after the storm and has been featured in major publications such as The New York Times.

Long Beach’s iconic 2.2-mile boardwalk has been rebuilt, and residents and visitors alike can enjoy many amenities such as food trucks and boardwalk concessions; a trapeze school; surfing lessons; beach volleyball; live concerts on the beach; a popular bike share program, arts and crafts fairs, and so much more.

greetings from the

Long Beach chamBer The evolving Long Beach chamber of commerce Community, relevance, economic development The mission of the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce is to promote business that adds value to our community while fostering a beneficial relationship with the community and help improve the overall quality of life in the City of Long Beach and surrounding communities.

On any given evening, as one drives down Park Avenue in the heart of Long Beach, with the sun dropping in a blaze over the West End, it’s crystal clear how much our business community has evolved.

You’ll pass more individual businesses than ever, as our central business district hosts everything from a coffee roaster to a legendary pizza joint, a state-of-the-art gym to a pilates studio, banking to surf shops, website design to cell phone stores.

Long Beach truly has it all. Our fine dining and specialty cuisine options are expanding, with a new emphasis on healthy and fresh. But we still have the best sports bars too!

The West End and East End business districts are rapidly evolving as well, with new and revived businesses across our beautiful City by the Sea. With restaurants that rival those in Manhattan and fashion boutiques that offer every imaginable

trend, our dining and shopping options truly offer something for everyone.

This year was kick-started with the third annual Scavenger Hunt, co-hosted by the Long Beach Chamber and City Of Long Beach. During the event, hundreds of delighted participants visited businesses up and down the West End, the East End and the central business district, searching for clues. There was a Best Bite Contest that was ultimately won by all of the participating restaurants — they all scored 10’s! The winners of the scavenger hunt walked away with a fully paid vacation to Puerto Rico, including flights, accommodations and surf lessons.

The chamber is also organizing a Mother’s Day Boardwalk Fair, the Long Beach Home & Garden show, a Chamber 300 fundraiser and a Fall Craft Show, all of which are expected to bring huge crowds into Long Beach. Tireless work by our volunteer board members has made all these annual events possible.

In addition to supporting and promoting our members, advocating for the businesses of Long Beach is just one of the chamber’s missions.

As the business and entrepreneurial climate changes, moving into a more technological future, we are delighted to

report that we have forged a renewed partnership with the city and are making major headway into changing the way businesses are viewed and treated, especially home-based businesses and internet-based businesses.

As the demographic of businesses changes, we strive to move with the times and cater to new businesses just as we’ve always done with traditional brick and mortar ones. Our close relationship with the city also allows us to have input on various topics from grant spending to new sanitation routes.

Beautification undoubtedly adds to the draw of Long Beach, so, along with the help of the city and A&T Garden Center, the chamber was able to provide native plantings to line the central business district and is continuing this year with the West End. The chamber board welcomes new members and volunteers. Come and join us for mixing, mingling and networking the third Monday of every month.

Visit www.thelongbeachchamber. com for details. Have a great summer!

Sincerely, The Chamber Board

About 7,000 people ran into the frigid Atlantic at the 22nd annual Long Beach Polar Bears Super Bowl Splash to benefit the Make-A-Wish Metro New York Foundation, which grants wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses.

Area of City — Five square miles.

Population — The city’s year-round

population is roughly 33,275; during the summer, the population swells to over 50,000.

Government — Five-member City Council; the appointed city manager is the chief administrator. The barrier island is also part of Nassau County, which is governed by a 19-member elected Legislature and an elected county executive. The city, Atlantic Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Point Lookout and Lido Beach are in the 4th Legislative District. The unincorporated areas of the island are under the jurisdiction of Hempstead Town, which is governed by an elected Town Board and a supervisor.

Beach — Long Beach boasts five miles of the finest, cleanest sand and safest bathing in the Northeast. There is a fee from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are also town and county beach parks in Lido Beach and Point Lookout.

Admission is free, but there is a per-car parking charge. The beach park in East Atlantic Beach is for residents only.

Boardwalk — Long Beach's iconic 2.2-mile-long boardwalk is back! The city has replaced the previous structure, destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, with stronger, more durable materials,

r u o t u o b A

! y t i C

Houses of Worship — Long Beach is home to nearly two dozen churches and synagogues representing a dozen different faiths.

Climate — In the summer, the island is consistently 12 to 13 degrees cooler than Manhattan, and in the winter, it is usually about 10 degrees warmer than the Big Apple.

Elevation — Sea level Police/fire — The city is protected by its own police force, assisted at times by the Nassau County Police Department, which patrols and protects East Atlantic Beach, Lido and Point Lookout. The Long Beach Fire Department has three stations. The Point Lookout-Lido Fire Department is primarily responsible for the eastern portion of the barrier island.

Utilities — The city is served by PSEG Long Island, Optimum and Verizon.

Transportation —Twenty minutes from JFK International Airport, Long Beach has a Long Island Rail Road station, maintains its own local bus service and is also on the county NICE line. There are taxis whose in-city rates are regulated by the city.

Some of the world’s best surfers will come to Long Beach in September for a stop on this year’s WSL Longboard Tour.

The largest professional surfing competition since the Quiksilver Pro New York nearly a decade ago is coming to Long Beach in September, part of a stop on the World Surf League’s international Longboard Tour.

The league, formerly the Association of Surfing Professionals, announced that Long Beach would be the third of four stops on the pro tour, following competitions in Noosa, Australia, and Galicia, Spain.

The event, scheduled for Sept. 6-12, is expected to attract some of the world’s best surfers, who will be on their way

to the Taiwan Open World Longboard Championships, where 24 men and 24 women will compete for a $60,000 prize purse in their respective divisions. Each Longboard Tour event will award 6,000 points toward the world championship rankings, and offer a $30,000 prize purse in men’s and women’s divisions.

Last year, the WSL was awarded a $254,000 grant through New York state’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative to launch what the state described as a “landmark” professional surfing competition. According to the state, the league will use the funds to

promote New York and Long Island and highlight the region as a “family surfing and coastal destination.”

L

ong Beach will welcome the LGBT community and its allies in June as part of an expanded regional effort to host a variety of LGBT Pride Month events from Manhattan to the Hamptons.

Pride on the Beach will return to Long Beach for the third time from June 21 to 23, coinciding with Long Island- and Manhattan-based events, including NYC Pride and WorldPride, an international celebration of the LGBT Pride movement that will take place in the U.S. for the first time.

Millions of visitors will flock to the region for the celebration, which will take place in conjunction with NYC Pride — also branded as Stonewall 50 — to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising.

Hosted by the LGBT Network, Pride on the Beach is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors to Long Island, the birthplace of Harvey Milk, a human rights leader who became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. Milk, who was born in Woodmere, served as a city supervisor in San Francisco and was assassinated by a fellow politician in 1978.

The three-day festival, which last year attracted more than 30,000 people from at least 15 states, will include a parade on Broadway — from Lafayette to Long Beach boulevards — a beach concert, a 5K run and a Shabbat service and more. This year’s theme is “Millions of Moments of Pride,” organizers said, representing the experiences that participants have during annual celebrations and commemorations around the world.

Officials said more than 7,000 people marched last year, including 106 school and community groups.

Long Beach

First to ban balloon release in Nassau

I

n what city officials and environmentalists called a win for the environment, the City Council voted unanimously in April to ban the intentional release of balloons.

Long Beach is the first municipality in Nassau County to pass a law prohibiting the release of latex, Mylar and plastic balloons to protect the environment and wildlife.

The law carries a $250 fine for any person, nonprofit organization, firm or corporation that intentionally releases or organizes the release of any number of balloons inflated with helium or a gas that is “lighter than air” within the City of Long Beach. Balloons released on behalf of a governmental agency or for governmentsanctioned scientific or meteorological purposes would be permitted.

Though the ordinance would be enforced by summer special officers, the intent of the law, officials said, is to serve as a deterrent. For more information, visit www. longbeachny.gov.

Amanda Moore, a co-chair of the Surfrider Foundation Central Long Island Chapter, held a trash bag filled with balloons during a cleanup at Gilgo Beach last year.

Long Beach’s flying trapeze program, I.FLY Trapeze, returns this summer by the boardwalk. You may sign up for a class and receive an introduction on the ground with a demonstration in the air by an I.FLY instructor. After that, you will get right to flying! You can also attempt a catch with an I.FLY instructor if you are ready — most will accomplish this in their first class!

Beginners will learn the timing and technique to get their legs on the bar and take their hands off. In the second part of the session you could be ready for a mid-air wrist to wrist catch with an I.FLY instructor. You can also learn a back-flip dismount off the bar and into the net. Returning flyers in this session will learn new tricks and positions and catch as well.

Sessions generally cost $60, and there also are eight-week workshops you may sign up for to learn all about flying and how to become the perfect trapeze flyer! Group rates also available.

The Senior Life in...

Long Beach The City of Long Beach supports one of the most dynamic and active senior centers on Long Island. Located on the second floor of the Magnolia Senior/ Community Center, participants are provided a modern and cheerful setting where they can engage in stimulating wellness, cultural, educational and recreational programs. Free of charge to Long Beach residents age 60 and over, the city continues to improve the quality of life for its older adults by providing them with some of the finest programming and opportunities on Long Island.

Our exercise instructors are certified professionals who offer programs of varying degrees of difficulty. You can choose from aerobics, yoga, dancing, stretch and tone and Zumba. We offer three levels of intensity to accommodate seniors of all ages and physical condition. Level one is mostly seated exercises and can have some mild standing activities. Level two requires moderate energy and has active exercises.

Level 3 requires high energy and is full of

The Magnolia Senior Center is also a place to keep your hands and mind active with sculpture, painting, theater groups, film appreciation, lectures and workshops and many other programs. Game day is

held four days a week, and on these days seniors can meet for a few hours and exercise their brains with games such as mahjong and bridge.

Every month there are a variety of different art classes that range from beginner levels to more advanced ones. You can choose from acrylic or watercolor painting classes, jewelry-making, and the list goes on. Check the monthly calendar on the city’s website, or pick one up at the Magnolia Center to see what is going on this month.

Protecting the barrier island

T

he Army Corps of Engineers recently completed the second phase of a federally funded beachprotection project that includes dune construction and sand replenishment. A contractor was awarded a $51 million contract in 2018 to dredge and pump about 4 million cubic yards of sand as part of the three-year project’s second phase. City officials said most of the sand replenishment has been completed and that the corps has finished the dune construction.

The first phase of the $230 million project — the reconstruction of 15 jetties, or groins, along the beach — was completed last winter. The project, which encompasses Point Lookout and Lido Beach, began in Point Lookout in 2016. The jetties, dunes and sand replenishment are designed to protect seven of the nine miles of public shoreline between Jones Inlet and East Rockaway Inlet from a 100-year storm like Hurricane Sandy.

The completed project features 25-foot-wide, 14-foot-high dunes running parallel to the boardwalk, and

15 dune crossovers in Long Beach.

While most of the crossovers are 10 feet wide, four of them — at New York Avenue and National, Riverside and Neptune boulevards — are 30 feet wide. The larger ones are being built with ipe wood, like the boardwalk. New

restrooms are planned, as well as a lifeguard station at Riverside Boulevard.

The Corps also replenished the sand in Point Lookout and in front of Lido Towers. Much of the dune plantings are done, and workers are expected to complete the plantings in the fall.

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 Ave.* and W. Beech St. • Magnolia Blvd. and the boardwalk • Pacific Blvd.* and Shore Rd. • Park Place* and W. Hudson St. • Riverside Blvd. and Pine St. • Clark St.* at Reynolds Channel • Veterans Park at Rec campus, Magnolia Blvd. and W.

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. Visit longbeachny.gov for updates.

The old park was significantly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The new park has switched from modular ramps to concrete ones that require less maintenance, among other improvements.

The 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.

Michelle O’Neill Volleyball

22 years strong

One of the biggest and most popular events in Long Beach, the Michelle O’Neill Foundation marked its 22nd annual volleyball tournament in September 2018, 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 410 registered teams and 65 nets.

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.

Ocean Friendly Restaurants

T

he City of Long Beach partnered with the Surfrider Foundation this year in support of the organization’s Ocean Friendly Restaurant Program.

According to the Surfrider Foundation, 100 billion plastic bags are consumed annually in the United States alone. Researchers now estimate that there are over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean, with the number growing every day. In response, the Surfrider Foundation launched the Ocean Friendly Restaurants Program, highlighting local eateries that have committed to stopping plastic pollution at its source by making sustainable business choices.

The program tackles a significant source of plastic pollution — disposable plastics distributed by local eateries. Only a small portion of all plastics actually get recycled, and the rest ends up in a landfill, incinerator or as litter. The most commonly discarded single-use plastics — dubbed the “Big Four” — include plastic grocery bags, drinking straws,

disposable coffee cups, and plastic water bottles. Food containers, straws, utensils, waters bottles, bottle caps, and takeout grocery bags represent a large portion of the litter found in oceans and bays.

By choosing to become an Ocean Friendly Restaurant and forgoing disposable plastic, eateries go from being part of the problem to part of the solution. To date, six Long Beach eateries have been designated Ocean Friendly restaurants: • Blacksmith’s Breads • Breakers Bowls • Gentle Brew Coffee Roasters • Island Thyme • Lost at Sea • Wild Feast For more information about Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Restaurant program, visit www.surfrider.org/ programs/ocean-friendly-restaurants.

he city’s Department of Transportation is responsible for all bus service within the City of Long Beach and Point Lookout. This department establishes rates, schedules and routes. All buses are wheelchair accessible.

The city’s trolleys are a fun and easy way to get around Long Beach. The base fare is $2.25 and free with a beach pass.

The fare for Long Beach buses is $2.25. It costs $2.75 to ride the Nassau County buses and the Point Lookout bus. Visit www.longbeachny.gov for a full list of schedules and fares.

The bus system covers more than 90 percent of the city, and there are roughly 30,000 passengers per month. The city also operates an ADA paratransit bus system and costs $1 per ride.

Passengers must schedule the ride 24 hours in advance, and ridership is steadily increasing.

eeling the wind in your hair, the sand between your toes and the warmth of the sun on your body. That’s what you get when you attend a beach yoga session taught by Long Beach locals, including Kara Gumiela and Kimberly Pierson.

What started out as a few people getting together on the beach spread via word of mouth and grew into an ever-expanding community of yogis and reiki healers, or instructors trained in holistic energy healing. The yoga instructors independently teach classes on the beach based on a weekly schedule posted on Instagram and Facebook.

Gumiela teaches yoga at New York Beach Club in Atlantic Beach while Pierson teaches yoga at Love Integration and spends her summers leading guided meditation sessions over a backdrop of a beach sunset. She is a Reiki Master Healer, and incorporates mindfulness and pranayama breathing exercises into her teachings.

They constantly encourage their students to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. They noticed that some people feel intimidated by a yoga studio, and Bridget Downes/Herald are more comfortable on the beach.

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

T

hrough student, staff and parent collaboration, Long Beach High School’s auditorium stage was transformed to a runway for the 28th annual Morning Madness Fashion Show.

On March 20, 2019 senior class models stepped into the bright lights and showed off a variety of prom styles.

The annual fundraiser is organized by the Parent Teacher Student Association in support of the substance-free Morning Madness post-prom celebration. Morning Madness provides a safe and festive opportunity for seniors to enjoy the final hours of their prom night together at Dave and Buster’s of Westbury. Every year,

students look forward to entering raffles that have become known to provide extraordinary prizes.

Spearheaded by Kelly Martinsen, this year’s fashion show was a great success thanks to many departments, staff members and community volunteers who contributed their skills. The Sound Recording Club coordinated lighting, Fashion Club members shared their expertise, DollFace Cosmetics and Bonnie Stern helped to get the students runway-ready, Maria Perrone worked with them on choreography and Adriane Glassberg served as model coordinator.

Masters of ceremonies Nicole

Codianni, Thomas Walsh, Roni Lerner and David Newman announced the models and described their attire. Tuxedos were provided courtesy of Snider’s Formal Wear of Oceanside. The district and PTSA thanked all the local establishments, organizations and families that sponsored the event, and said it looks forward to another safe and memorable Morning Madness celebration.

Xavier Sosa and Demetra Montgomery showed off their prom styles at the fashion show, a fundraiser that supports a substance free post-prom event.

EOC Head Start has a home in Long Beach T

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.

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.

The district is focused on educating the “whole child” through the combination of a rigorous academic program, social and emotional growth initiatives and extensive extracurricular opportunities. Each year, students excel in academics, the arts and athletics, achieving regional, state and national recognition. This past year, the district was recognized by the NAMM Foundation as one of the nation’s Best Communities for Music Education for the ninth time, and the varsity hockey team and girls’ volleyball team won their state championships.

The high school is an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the IB Diploma Program, and in 2015, the middle school became Nassau County’s first authorized IB Middle Years Program school. The number of IB Diploma candidates has grown each year, and 71 members of the class of 2018 completed the program.

Literacy, inquiry-based learning and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics) have all been a focus throughout the curriculum as keys to success. The WRAP initiative was introduced this past fall and encourages students to wonder, read and play during at-home learning times. Innovation MakerSpaces have been unveiled in each elementary school as resources for exploration, creativity and collaboration, and the middle school introduced its Fab Lab that enables immediate printouts that can be assembled into 2D structures and models. Through a 1:1 Chromebook initiative supported by the Smart Schools Bond Act, all students in grades six to 12 are equipped with their own Chromebook devices.

Roughly 50 college-level courses at the high school are offered through the IB, AP, and dual enrollment classes affiliated with colleges. The newly launched internship program is off to a strong start. This year, the district’s automotive program received State certification, and a new culinary arts program will debut next year.

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.

Moving forward The city hosted an open house in January to discuss improvements to Edwards Boulevard. The project, funded by the state Department of Transportation and designed with previous community input, will give Edwards Boulevard a Complete Streets makeover — making it safer and attractive for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, heading to and from the beach. The project will also increase resilience by flood mitigation. Extending from the south side of Park Avenue all the way to the boardwalk, the project will look to alleviate safety issues between cars, pedestrians, and bicyclists by constructing bike lanes, bump outs, and new curbs, sidewalks, and crosswalks. Elements of resiliency and green infrastructure, including tree pits, vegetation, and stormwater storage vaults, are also incorporated to reduce flooding during storm events.

cluded: grant information, small-business development, women-owned businesses, loans, energy audits, technology integration, 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 at 325 E. Bay Drive, the freestanding Emergency Department is staffed with the same board-certified emergency medicine physicians and certified emergency nurses that work in South Nassau’s hospital-based emergency room in Oceanside. Superior diagnostics, such as laboratory testing and CT-scanning, in the Long Beach Emergency Department offer the advantage of faster, more accurate treatment.

More than 38,000 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, about 87 percent are treated and released home without having to leave the barrier island for hospital admission or advanced levels of medical treatment.

More than three-quarters of patients arrive at the emergency department on their own — either by car, on foot or by public transportation — with about 12 percent arriving by ambulance via the 911 system. About 13 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 consistently ranks it in the top 10 percent of hospital emergency rooms nationwide, according to

Press Ganey®. Patients give high scores to bedside care, communication and compassion of the Emergency Department’s staff.

An emergency dock provides marine access to the Emergency Department via Reynolds Channel.

Joseph Naham rallied in support of the new law in 2016.

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 city ordinance passed in 2016 aimed at reducing the negative environmental and economic impacts of singleuse 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 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 are retained by the businesses — the city does 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 are 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 is it enforced?

• Like most city ordinances, enforcement is 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. Visit hempsteadny.gov for more information.
