Maybe yours is in this week! See inside. (continued on page 10) by Laura Schofer The Nassau Interim Finance Authority (NIFA) rejected Nassau County’s plan to hire Morgan Stanley to broker a deal for a private-public partnership for the county’s sewage treatment system. Last week at a Board of Directors meet- ing, NIFA voted 5-0 against the proposal to pay $5 million to Morgan Stanley to assist in finding a private investor to fund a $750+ million deal regarding privatizing sewage treatment plants. A sixth board member, Robert Wild, abstained from the vote. NIFA is charged with controlling the county’s finances and is empowered to issue bonds and notes for various county purposes, including the restructuring of a portion of the county’s outstanding debt. In addition, the authority has certain powers to monitor and oversee the county’s finances. “The proposed plan reduces Nassau’s debt by 25%,” said County Executive Edward Mangano. The deal would pay off $465 million owed to the county’s sewer authority as well as an additional $400 million in other debts. NIFA board meeting notes indicate that board members are skeptical regarding the county’s plan for a public-private partner- ship. The county has indicated it would choose United Water, a subsidiary of a French corporation Suez Environment, to initially operate and maintain the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant and the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant. Severn Trent will operate the Glen Cove plant until its lease is up in eight years. United Water will also operate and maintain 53 pumping stations and 3,000 miles of sewers for 20 years with a 10- year renewal option. The plan calls for no increase in sewer rates through 2015, and then a cap at the rate of inflation for the remainder of United’s contract with the county. “I have never come across such an ill-conceived plan. It is an example of bad public finance and if implemented will give private-public partnerships a bad name,” said NIFA director George Marlin in a prepared statement. Mr. Martin is former executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “The NIFA board is clearly confused about the potential of a public-private part- nership for Nassau’s sewage treatment plants – which are in a state of disrepair and face fiscal crisis,” stated County Executive Mangano. But Mr. Marlin added that “This is a form of back-door borrowing. Potential financial investors who invest money to public-private partnerships expect annual returns of 10 to 15%. To suggest that a private operation will achieve enough efficiencies to cover most of that cost and that assessment or user fees will increase no more than the rate of inflation – well, anyone who believes that, I have a colise- um in Hempstead I would like to sell to them.” “The county should focus on balancing the budget and not on creating and exe- cuting a transaction, which creates the illusion of balance while putting the coun- ty and its taxpayers in extreme financial risk,” added another NIFA director, Christopher Wright.

On their maiden voyage, only twoguests were on board Freeport WaterTaxi. At that time, Rick Cohen, a localcharter boat captain, had thought, “Ohmy – I’ve invested so much – this is notthe response I wanted.”

Little did he know the “if you build it,they will come” philosophy wouldquickly turn things around. Voyage twoproduced 28 guests and confirmation forhis assessment that Freeport was in needof a water taxi service.

Fourteen additional guests later andthe promise of a summer filled with thepraises of convenience and enjoymentproved that his investment was moneywell spent. For the first time on thesouth shore of Freeport, a nautical alter-native is now available to help ease theamount of traffic coming throughWoodcleft Avenue. Freeport Water Taxi& Tours’ first day of operations isindeed a success for Rick and for theVillage of Freeport and Point Lookout.

Rick sought to create the “perfectmarriage of necessities” while establish-ing his business model. Addressing theincreased risk of possible DWIs leavingthe Nautical Mile and the lack of PointLookout residents venturing out of townfor an evening of music and dining, heknew that both towns could benefit fromincreasing an additional customer base,without all of the extra cars.

Freeport Water Taxi & Tours hasbeen in the making for two years.Mayor Andrew Hardwick and theBoard of Trustees welcomed thisadditional venue to aid in reinventingFreeport’s entertainment district.

With the absolute support of hisfamily and the board, Rick, an experi-enced boat captain, is encouraged thathe can retire from his career as a fish-erman into transportation and tours.Capt. Rick’s “Phase One” offering isexclusive to Freeport and PointLookout. His vision is to expand serv-ices to include other areas that facesimilar issues as these towns, such asthe Long Beach and Island Parkwaterfronts.

With ample coupon and discountofferings, the Freeport Water Taxi &Tours will be open from May throughSeptember 30, offering additionallimited services during the offseasoncatering to specific events such as thespring and fall festivals. Whetheryou’d like to venture out to enjoylight music on the water during theday or end your perfect evening,Freeport Water Taxi & Tours offer dayand evening sightseeing/sunset cruis-es daily throughout the boating sea-son.

by Christopher McBride

The Freeport-Merrick RotaryMemorial Day Carnival will open thegates at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 25, tokick off four days at the MerrickLIRR train station with a sweet $20unlimited bracelet, special openingday deal, to raise some foundationfunds this weekend for many a goodcause, near and far, including collegescholarships for high school students,holiday food for families in distress,and the list goes on.

What would it take to change theworld? Rotary’s 1.2 million membersbelieve it starts with a commitment toService Above Self. In more than34,000 clubs worldwide, you’ll findmembers volunteering in communi-ties at home and abroad to supporteducation and job training, provideclean water, combat hunger, improve

health and sanitation, and eradicatepolio.

In 1996 under the leadership ofthen- club President Mark Treske andwith the skills of Rotarian SamIandiorio and Michael Raab, TheFreeport Rotary Club establishedwhat would become the annual tradi-tion and a major event that benefits itsown community as well as others out-side.

In 2009 the Freeport carnival,which had been held at the train sta-tion parking lot, was discontinued,and it was relocated to Merrick. Thecarnival/fund raiser has been success-ful for three years at its current loca-tion.

So please come out for some holi-day fun and go home knowing thatyou too have helped to make a differ-ence, paid it forward and given back.See you there!

Monday’s Freeport Board of Trusteesmeeting became heated when the pro-posal for parking restrictions on MainStreet came up for a vote. VillageAttorney Howard Colton explained thereason for the proposed restrictions:“We have received several complaintsfrom residents regarding a restaurant inthe area.” He added, when asked byTrustee Jorge A. Martinez, “It is a coun-ty road. The village is permitted to regu-late the parking.”

Four residents spoke out on the subject.Three residents, Harold Lilly, CynthiaKrieg and Erik Sumner, strongly supportedthe new proposed parking regulations.Former Deputy Village Attorney SteveMalone opposed them.

Mr. Sumner said he has been victimizedby ruckus so loud and so often that even onthe rare relatively quiet nights he cannotrest. He added, “I could not sleep for thefear I was going to hear noises that wouldkeep me awake at night.”

Mr. Lilly said the employees on breakfrom the nearby establishment smoke infront of their homes, and loiter loudly upuntil 4 a.m.

Ms. Krieg echoed both Mr. Sumner’sand Mr. Lilly’s statements, adding that thenoise level is completely inappropriate tobe occurring near homes with school-agechildren. She said that the trash that accu-mulated in the area is also problematic. Mr.Malone said he believes restricting parkingin the area closest to the restaurant will

only enhance problems by forcing patronsto park deeper into residential areas.

Audit on holdA request to advertise a request for a

proposal for a “Forensic Audit of theVillage of Freeport” in The Leader andother relevant publications was placed onhold due to a motion by Trustee CarmenJ. Pineyro to table the proposal because ofthe absence of Trustee Robert T. Kennedy.

Ms. Pineyro said she received an emailfrom Mr. Kennedy requesting the matterbe tabled. The mayor said he’d like tomove on the subject, but the motion byMs. Pineyro carried and was approvedby all but the mayor.

Power Plant improvementsThree proposals on bids were unani-

mously passed for the electric company.The first bid, for a total of $207,560,was awarded to Cormetech, Inc. ofDurham, North Carolina. The secondbid in the amount of $99,221.75 wasawarded to TransCanada Turbines, Ltd.of Central Square, New York. The thirdbid in the amount of $27,300 wasawarded to Commercial InstrumentationService of Deer Park.

Public worksA request to advertise a request for

proposals for “Survey Work on VariousStreets” was approved. Scott Richardsonof Public Works said the streets on thislist for repairs had been on the list forrepairs for the last two years. He added

the streets approved for repair had noinfrastructure issues and grant moneywould cover the cost of the projects.

Water and sewageA retroactive request to extend the pro-

fessional service contract “Annual WaterQuality Testing” with Eco TestLaboratories of North Babylon, with noincrease in unit prices, was approved. Arequest to advertise a notice to bidders forthe “Nassau Avenue Water MainReplacement Project” in The Leader andother relevant publications was approved.

A request to award a request for a pro-posal for “Property and Liability RiskManagement and Insurance ConsultingServices,” to customized Claims Solutionsof Garden City in the amount of $155,856per year, for a term of one year was unan-imously passed.

A purchase contract was also awardedto Atlantic Nursery. A retroactiveapproval for the Freeport HudsonAnglers to hang two banners promotingthe 40th Annual Shark Tournamentacross South Main and Franklin and GuyLombardo near Front Street was passed.

Your right to recordChicago, 1968, proved the power of television when

viewers around the world saw demonstrators at theDemocratic National Convention taunting police, and thepolice and security guards in turn reacting violently. Thisweek, Chicago again is the scene of an important event,the NATO summit, and once again anti-war protestorswere expected to use the opportunity to be heard aroundthe world.

The difference is this time iPhones, Androids and othermobile devices will be used to record demonstrations. Just inthe nick of time, the U.S. Justice Department released a letterproviding guidance to police about the rights of individuals,not just the press, to record these events and also their rightto “record police officers in the public discharge of theirduties.” The letter also states that “Under the FirstAmendment, there are no circumstances under which thecontents of a camera or recording device should be deleted ordestroyed.”

The police, who put their lives on the line each day to pro-tect the public safety, deserve our thanks and respect.However, when they are insulted by a few of the protestorsbent on getting a rise on them, they have been trained to reactwith restraint and professionalism.

They understand that in doing so, they are helping preserveeveryone’s rights.

A Presidential election guideThe Newspaper in Education Institute, in cooperation with

the League of Women Voters, has provided your communitynewspaper with a nonpartisan guide to Presidential electionsfor use in the classroom. High school teachers can use theguide printed in this week’s issue as part of their citizenshipeducation.

We thought our readers would also be interested in readingthis guide as they prepare to follow the election process andmake their own choices, and we hope it will spark discussionaround the family dinner table.

Elementary school teachers can visit our NIE website atnieteacher.org/lmnie and download lesson plans written foryoung children that can be used with a copy of the regularnewspaper to study democracy in action.

We thank the sponsors who are helping us bring this guideto the Presidential Election to you and to the classroom. Theyare listed in the printed guide and also on our website. Wesalute them for their patriotism.

This Memorial Day we honor our veterans and those whodied to preserve our freedoms. We owe it to them to take ourpart in the election process.

Baldwin’s Nunley’s Carousel is 100!

It was a very different time in June 1912,the Titanic had just sunk two months earli-er, the looming clouds of a World War inEurope were far from any New Yorker’smind and airplanes were more or less anovelty, a sideshow to the busy lives of thehard working citizens of New York,Brooklyn and Long Island.

And in the seaside community ofCanarsie, a brand new, Brooklyn-made,Stein & Goldstein carousel was set up forbusiness in Golden City Park, a wellknown local amusement park. Thiscarousel was part of the Canarsie neigh-borhood until the late 1930s when GoldenCity Park closed.

William Nunley, the owner and operatorof the carousel, moved the carousel to itsnew home at Nunley’s Amusement Park inBaldwin in 1940, where it became part ofLong Island’s legacy by entertaininguntold thousands of families until the parkwas sold in 1995.

On Saturday and Sunday, June 9 and 10,Nunley’s Carousel, on Nassau County’sMuseum Row in Garden City, will cele-brate the carousel’s 100th Anniversarywith a special celebration and festival.Nunley’s Carousel, in conjunction with theCradle of Aviation Museum, will be recre-ating a 1912 festival weekend in honor ofthe carousel’s landmark anniversary. Inaddition to a ride on the carousel, there willbe midway games typical to a visit onConey Island’s Boardwalk; music by a

barbershop quartet, old-time children’sgames such as hoops and sticks, sack racesand croquet. There will be old fashionedcrafts and foods for sale reminiscent of the1912 amusement park cuisine. The festivi-ties will be joined by the personality of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, portrayedby James Foote, who in 1912 was runningfor president once again as the candidate ofthe Bull Moose Party.

Mayor Hardwick takes aimat foreclosure problem

Mayor Andrew Hardwick, recentlynamed a Long Island hero by VerizonFios 1 News for his efforts in success-fully helping save over 100 Freeportresidents from foreclosure, has mounteda full court press to charge officialsthroughout the State of New York andaround the nation to take part in an ini-tiative designed to help homeownersfaced with the threat of foreclosure.

The mayor used his office to contactbanks and lenders on the residents’behalf to get them the help that theyneeded. Banks such as JPMorganChase, Citibank, and Bank of Americaagreed to set up temporary satelliteoffices in Freeport’s Village Hall toassist residents; with appointmentsavailable in both the daytime andevening hours.

This step that was initiated in 2011has successfully assisted distressedhomeowners at risk of foreclosure orotherwise struggling to stay current withtheir mortgage payments, and continuesto expand.

State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr.and Mayor Hardwick recently joinedforces to partner with the state

Department of Financial Services (DFS)to bring additional help to homeownersfacing foreclosure, free of charge, withno appointment necessary.

The partnership brought a MobileForeclosure Relief Center staffed withDFS specialists to the northeast cornerof Sunrise Highway and Henry Streetlast week to assist residents. The spe-cialists met with homeowners and pro-vided personalized information andguidance based on their place in thepre-foreclosure and foreclosureprocess.

“My administration is a hard-workingadministration with a heart for the peo-ple. Because this initiative has been suc-cessful, I am encouraging public offi-cials throughout the state and thecountry to get involved. I should be oneof many. Every leader of every commu-nity can use this model because itworks. This is about saving our commu-nities, one resident at a time,” saidMayor Hardwick.

For more information on the foreclo-sure assistance initiative contact theOffice of Mayor Andrew Hardwick,377-2252.

However, the county has a legal opinionthat states the transaction does not consti-tute proceeds of debt. Attorney JamesNorville of Winston & Strawn wrote in aletter to the county attorney’s office that“collection of such fees, the payment ofsuch amounts constitute an obligation ofthe system users and not a debt obligationof the county.”

“Ed Mangano’s sewer deal is dead,” stat-ed Nassau County Legislator and MinorityLeader Keven Abrahams (D-LD 1).”It wasan unnecessary and unwanted proposal thatwould have saddled a generation of Nassau

residents with more debt.”But the county executive is not giving

up. He indicated he will move forward onthis plan.

“I have spent two years cleaning upDemocrat deficits, repealing taxes andcutting millions in wasteful spending. Ihave reduced the workforce by 20% andimplemented other successful public-pri-vate partnerships that save over $40 mil-lion annually in higher taxes. No otherpolitician has done more to protect ourresidents’ wallets, and I have every inten-tion of revisiting this debt reduction andsewer stabilization plan with NIFA” heconcluded.
