ith focused minds and a motivatedfootball team, Calhoun Colts varsityfootball captains Scott Halleran and

Steven Valentino lead their Homecoming game to avictory against the New Hyde Park Gladiators onSaturday, September 29, with a 21-7 win over NewHyde Park.

Because of the successful pre-game event wherestudents, teachers and families gathered, the lostspirit of the Calhoun Colts has been found one more!

With the Calhoun parade cancelled, the Colt Festwas designed to step up their game. The Colt Festfollowed a theme similar to the one you would findat a carnival or a fair. With the kickline team hostingits own Zumba class on one side of the field, and a

bounce house for the younger children on the other,the Colt Fest seemed to please everyone attending.

With music performances by Calhoun’s very ownWind Ensamble and rock band, the Colt Fest hadeveryone on their feet. Nick Maginello, an alumnusof Calhoun High School, even volunteered to DJ forthe Colt Fest and supplyed the event with an upbeatplaylist for everyone to enjoy.

Student Council officers and their advisor, BryanJoyce bedazzled their table by offering face glitter –Calhoun’s school colors, of course – for studentsattending the Homecoming game later on that daywho desired to show off some school pride!

Muffins, brownies, chocolate chip cookies andevery sweet treat you can imagine indulging in wassold by clubs throughout the two hours the eventtook place.

S.A.D.D (Students Against Destructive Decisions)organized their own car wash along with games,including Can Jam and a Bean Toss, which raised atotal of $500. All of these factors helped to enable amore successful turnout.

The Homcoming game consisted of a roaringcrowd and an energetic student body. With perform-ances by kickline and varsity cheerleading at half-time, the crowd always stayed peppy and never losthope for the Colts.

Outstanding touchdowns by Scott Halleran,Brendan Schiaffo and Elias Encarnacion resultedfrom excellent teamwork and determination by theteam, making this year’s Calhoun Homecoming oneto remember.

meandering around merrickDear parents:

Guest editorial by Dr. Donald Sternberg, Wantagh Elementary School

Standardized assessment has grown exponentially. For example, lastyear New York State fourth graders, who are nine or ten years old, weresubjected to roughly 675 minutes (over 11 hours) of state assessments,which does not include state field testing. This year there will be a statemandated pre-test in September and a second mandated pre-test inJanuary for all kindergarten through fifth grade students in school. InApril, kindergarten through fifth grade students will take the last test[assessment] for the year.

Excessive testing is unhealthy. When I went to school I was never over-tested and subsequently labeled with an insidious number that ranked orplaced me at a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4, as we do today. Doyou want your child to know their assigned “Level”? What would theimpact be on their self-esteem and self-worth at such a young age?

Of additional concern to me is the relationship between children andtheir teacher as we move into an era where teacher job status is basedupon student assessment scores. Guess what, some children willbecome more desirable than others to have in class! And, conversely,others will be less desirable. There, I wrote it! That concept is blas-phemy in our school where teachers live to prepare children to be pro-ductive learners and members of society. Teachers statewide are wor-ried that their relationship with students might change when they areevaluated based upon their students’ test scores. Teachers want to edu-cate students, not test prep them for job security.

Additionally, what should be shocking to you as a parent is that state andnational databases are being created in order to analyze and store students’test scores – your child’s assessment results and your child’s school atten-dance! Do you realize that the state has mandated that classroom teachersmust take attendance during every math, ELA, social studies and sciencelesson – every one, every day for the entire school year! Those records aresent to the state and become statistically part of the teacher evaluationprocess. It will no longer be enough that your child “was in school.”

Rather, if he or she was at a band lesson or out of the room for extra helpin reading and a math lesson was taking place in class, he or she will benoted as absent from that instruction. That will be factored into the teacherevaluation. Thinking of taking your child to Disney World for a week dur-ing the school year or leaving a day or two early for a long weekend ski-ing? Think again! Those absences will be recorded as illegal, missed seattime and sent to the state – as mandated by the state.

This is all part of the massive, multi-million taxpayer dollar teacherevaluation processes started by our commissioner of education, our gover-nor and our state legislators, and fully supported by statisticians employedby the state and assessment-making companies. No one in Albany isselecting to see the end of the journey; that 98% of the students graduatingfrom Wantagh Schools go on to two- and four-year colleges. Their myopicview is focused on the “parts,” not the whole. Who will eventually suffer?Your children!

The balance must now be struck between maintaining the special finalanalysis rendered by statistics. The use of assessment data to drive instruc-tion is a tenet of good educational practices. The use of assessment data torender a yearly prognostication of teacher competency is ridiculous.

You have the greatest impact on your child’s school performance. Eachteacher only has your children for 180 days per year and for less than sixhours per day [minus lunch and recess times, art, music, and physical edu-

Young mothers, professionals, stu-dents and retirees rallied with the SierraClub, the president of a solar companyand an engineering student at the Townof Hempstead’s Energy Park last weekto implore the Long Island PowerAuthority to invest in clean, renewableenergy for the future and launch a call-incampaign to LIPA to urge officials tochoose clean energy options.

But on Tuesday, the LIPA board votedin favor of a new 15-year capacity con-tract with National Grid, the operator ofmore than 50 power generators.

According to the LIPA website, “thisagreement balances the need to continueoperating the National Grid powerplants to maintain reliable electric serv-ice on Long Island, with the goal of con-tinuing the transition to a cleaner andmore fuel-efficient power system.”

The agreement also includes a repow-ering option for the Northport, PortJefferson and Barrett Island plants, tohelp improve fuel efficiency and reduceemissions.”

LIPA’s big decision“Our families deserve better than 15

more years of dirty energy that willhold us back from building the cleanenergy future Long Islanders so clear-ly want,” said Lisa Dix, a senior repre-sentative for the Sierra Club.

Emma Boorboor, another Sierra Cluborganizer, stood in front of the windturbine at the Town of Hempstead’sOffice of Waterways and Conservationin Point Lookout (Energy Park) lastweek. “How will we power homes andbusinesses in the next decade?” sheasked rally attendees.

The resounding response to that ques-tion was to invest in clean energy – bothsolar and wind power, renewablesources that don’t pollute the environ-ment or make the nation dependent onforeign sources of energy.

“Our energy demands are enor-mous,” said Dan Sabia, president andfounder of Built Well Solar ofWantagh, which installs solar panelson homes and businesses.

“Today’s households and businessesare very different from a few years ago.LIPA is trying to keep up with the ever-increasing need for more and moreelectricity. For the most part, the elec-tricity we all use here on Long Island isgenerated in power plants that dependon fossil fuels.

“Now LIPA has the opportunity tohelp solidify Long Island’s position as aleader in renewable energy by movingforward with a clean energy proposalthat can make a difference to Long

Islanders today and especially for ourfuture,” said Mr. Sabia.

LIPA, state are failing?According to the Sierra Club, both the

State of New York and LIPA are failingto meet their renewable energy goals of30% renewable sources by 2013 set bythe state’s Renewable PortfolioStandard, which LIPA committed to.

“Every year, LIPA has made aneffort to roll out new and improvedprograms that provide incentives forenergy conservation and renewables,”said Mr. Sabia.

He pointed to the Solar PioneerProgram that provides rebates to home-owners who switch to solar energy, aswell as a recent “introduction of a feed-in tariff program for large-scale com-mercial solar projects. But we all knowthat more programs are needed; muchmore needs to be done to meet our grow-ing demands,” he said.

But LIPA believes it is already a“leader in energy efficiency andrenewable energy development,”pointing to its Clean Energy Initiativeand the $240 million investment theauthority has made in the program.

Last week, environmentalists hopedLIPA would commit to a utility-scale900-megawatt offshore wind energyproject 30 miles east of Montauk,along with a regional high voltagedirect current (HVDC) submarinetransmission system to connect LongIsland with additional energy sources

in New England. Renewable Energy Long

Island recently came outwith a study that concludesthat 100% clean, renewableelectricity is possible forLong Island by 2030 but willrequire significant invest-ments.

Wind energy wouldaccount for more than one-third of the Island’s electrici-ty per year along with a mixof solar photovoltaic, landfillgas, biomass and hydropower,and fossil fuel generators asback-up, said the study.

At the rally, AndreRobinson, an engineeringstudent from FarmingdaleState College, said he had avery specific vision for LongIsland’s future.

“As I sit in class, hearingabout the progress happeningin other countries, I get real-ly frustrated that I am notseeing this same progressthat I know is possible in my ownbackyard,” he said.

After Tuesday’s meeting LIPA saidthe new agreement will strengthen itssupport for investment in renewableenergy development, possibly includ-ing an offshore wind project.

Peter Gollon, energy chair of theLong Island Sierra Club, challengedLIPA to have the “courage” to make

this necessary change. “We are hereto tell them to find the courage toactually lead us into the future ofrenewable energy,” he said.

“Our children and grandchildrencan’t wait while the LIPA board andthe governor, like the CowardlyLion in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ look tofind their courage. Invest in cleanenergy.”

Advocates call on LIPA for clean energy

Permit parking planned for LIRR station

word out with fliers that there are park-ing permits available” for residents thatwill provide better access to parking atthe station they may not have been ableto get before, said Ms. Murray.

She said at a news conference Fridayat the Bellmore station that on October11 and 12, and again on October 18 and19, the town’s Mobile Hall will be at thestation from 6-9 a.m. to reach out tocommuters to sign them up to get park-ing permits. Permits ensure them ofhaving a parking space when they drive

to the station to go work in the city.Commuters are now presented with a

first-come, first-served scenario, inwhich those who arrive at the stationfirst get the parking spaces.

Residents – and those from surround-ing areas within the town who exhibit apermit – will have their own parking lotwith guaranteed parking every timethey come to the station to catch a train.

Town spokeswoman Susie Pokalskytold Merrick Life that because morethan 227 permits will be issued for the227 lots assigned, those with the per-mits may still want to arrive early to be

guaranteed a spot. “These parking lots are desired by a

lot of people in the town,” remarkedtown Councilman Gary Hudes. Withthese permits, he said that residentswill be given a “better opportunity tobe able to secure parking” when get-ting a permit.

“It is a tremendous opportunity foreveryone,” he said.

Councilwoman Angie Cullin said the park-ing permits will address an issue that impactscommuters and the community. With the per-mits, commuters may feel better about beingable to get a parking space without having to

constantly look for one, she said.Supervisor Murray thanked LIRR

President Helena Williams for the rail-road’s professionalism and expertise inworking out a solution to the growingproblem of parking at the Bellmoretrain station.

The $3 per year cost of the permitwill go toward logistical upkeep of theprogram, such as printing the permits,creating signage and maintaining docu-mentation, concluded Mrs. Pokalsky.

The town said it will unveil a similarprogram at the Merrick Long IslandRail Road station soon.

The U.S. Department ofCommerce recently declared a fed-eral groundfish fishery disaster forNew York’s fishing communities,thereby providing money for emer-gency relief to struggling fishermenand fishing ports.

The declaration was made after apreliminary report projected signif-icant cuts of up to 70% in catchlimits for New England groundfishstocks in 2013, including cod andyellowtail flounder.

“Our fishing communities must beprovided with sufficient disasterassistance to stem the adverse eco-nomic effects of potentially devas-tating cuts to already reduced catchlimits, and years of restrictive man-agement measures,” said U.S.Senators Charles Schumer andKristen Gillibrand in a letter toActing Secretary Rebecca Blank,U.S. Department of Commerce.

Many of New York’s fishing inter-ests in New England stocks havebeen traditionally ignored, saidSenators Schumer and Gillibrand,

because of “under-representation onthe New England FisheryManagement Council (NEFMC).”

For example, a federal SouthernNew England winter flounder pos-session ban in 2009 forced manyLong Island commercial ground-fishermen off the water, saidSenator Schumer. Southern NewEngland winter flounder landingsrepresented 80% of all groundfishlandings on Long Island in 2008.

“Our concern for New York’streatment is heightened by the factthat in multiple groundfish econom-ic disaster aid packages ... New Yorkfishermen were often excluded. Aidpackages were instead focused onNew England states with NEFMCrepresentation,” wrote the senators.

In the end, the lawmakers success-fully pushed to have New Yorkincluded in the New England federalfishery disaster declaration.

The Associated Press reported thatU.S. Senate Majority Leader HarryReid has committed to include $100million for fishermen, which mustfirst be approved by Congress.

Direct federal financial assistance

may be provided to fishermen andfishing communities in the forms ofgrants, job retraining, employmentand low-interest loans.

The U.S. Department ofCommerce is charged with provid-ing disaster assistance under theInterjurisdictional Fisheries Act orthe Magnuson-Stevens FisheryConservation and Management Act.

A Congressional Research ServiceReport for Congress, it noted thatfederal fishery failures through 2010have been declared on 29 occasions.Nearly $827 million in federal fund-ing has been appropriated for fish-ery disaster relief, including theGulf of Mexico fisheries from theDeepwater Horizon/BP oil spill.

The Nassau County Legislature’sMajority Leader Peter Schmitt died sud-denly on Wednesday, October 3, after suf-fering a massive heart attack, said CountyExecutive Edward P. Mangano’s office.

Mr. Schmitt represented the 12thLegislative District, which includesMassapequa and Massapequa Park, as wellas parts of Seaford and North Massapequa.He was 62 years old.

Mr. Schmitt, a Republican, was elect-ed to the first Nassau County Legislaturein 1995 and served as the deputy presid-ing officer from 1996 through 1999. Hewas minority leader from 2000 through2009 during the Suozzi administration,proving to be a tough opponent to thethen-Democratic majority.

In January 2010, he became presidingofficer and majority leader. He will be suc-ceeded by Deputy Presiding OfficerNorma Gonsalves (R-LD 13) of EastMeadow, whose district also includes partsof North Bellmore and North Merrick.

“Nassau County is a better placebecause of Peter’s leadership, commitmentand compassion,” said County ExecutiveMangano in a prepared statement. “He willbe greatly missed.”

“He was an iconic leader of ourLegislature,” said Minority Leader KevanAbrahams.

Legislator David Denenberg [D-19LD], added that he was “shocked and sad-dened by Peter’s loss. He spent his entirecareer in politics and public service. As acolleague in the Legislature we had ourdisagreements; it was certainly combativeat times but on a personal level I believethere was a mutual respect. I liked himvery much,” he said.

“Peter was a loving husband, father andmost recently a doting grandfather. Mydeepest sympathies go out to his family,”added County Executive Mangano.

Mr. Schmitt is survived by his wife,Lois and daughter Samantha.

Dear parents. . .cation classes]. It is our expectation that aspartners in your child’s education, you willbe doing your part as well. As part of anyevaluation of student performance, Albanymust simultaneously be asking parents thefollowing questions:

• Does your child read at home each dayfor at least 20 minutes?

• Do you read to your child every day?• Are math facts gone over daily until

they are known automatically?• Is there a quiet location in the house for

homework time, and do you check yourchild’s homework each night?

• Is your child sent to school ready forthe day with a good breakfast following atleast eight hours of sleep?

Are after-school activities monitored sothat your child is not “overbooked” andtheir stamina compromised?

Is your child in school daily [exceptwhen out sick] and not taken out of schoolfor any reason other than illness?

It is unmistakable that we have enteredinto a new era of educational practice withhigher stakes than ever before.

County Majority Leader Peter Schmitt dies

OMR parents concerned about cockroachesThis letter was sent to Old Mill

Road School parents, the NorthMerrick school board, local govern-ment officials and others. It was writ-ten to David Feller, the superintendentof North Merrick Schools, and wasdated September 26. Following Ms.Picone’s letter is a letter from Mr.Feller sent to the OMR school com-munity dated September 24:

Worried about cockroach infestations

Dear Mr. Feller:I feel it is necessary to write to you

to voice my concerns about the ongo-ing heavy cockroach infestation at mydaughter's school. I attended themeeting on Friday, September 21, at3:30 p.m., anticipating it would beinformative, answer my questions andconcerns, and frankly make me feelbetter. Unfortunately, it did none ofthe above. If anything, it made memore concerned and more upset.

Let me start by saying that thestrategic timing of the meeting madeit very difficult for all those who mayhave wanted to attend, to be able to

attend. In order for me to be there, Ihad to rearrange my work day, whichfortunately I was able to do.

There are plenty of meetings and/orevents at the school that are scheduledduring the evening hours and I feltthat [those trying to attend] this meet-ing should have been given the samecourtesy to maximize attendance, notminimize it. Maybe that could be keptin mind when scheduling the follow-up meeting.

It also felt as though this meetingwas just “thrown together” with noreal organized agenda. It seemed asthough you were very defensive whenwe were all expressing our concernsand frustrations, which should havebeen anticipated. You also cameacross very noncommittal to any ofour reasonable suggestions to stayinformed and/or the staff to havesome accountability.

Additionally, our elected boardmembers were not even introduced oracknowledged for taking the time toattend this meeting on our behalf.What is equally disconcerting is whyour very own principal, Ms. [Laura]DeLuca [formerly Ms. Leudesdorff],

was not at this meeting. If there was some unforeseen con-

flict that made it impossible for her toattend that should have beenaddressed and there should have beena representative there in her place.(This goes for the teachers and staff,too.) This just made me feel that our

own school/administration does nottake this situation as seriously as theparents do.

Since Parkway Pest ControlServices’ representative seemed reluc-tant to give us any examples of thepossible diseases, germs, bacteria or

illnesses these oriental cockroachescould potentially transmit to our chil-dren (and the OMR staff), I had nochoice but to conduct my ownresearch and my findings were utterlydisgusting! [Editor’s note: the find-ings can be found online at www.mer-ricklife.com.]

After reading the attachment, I trulydo not understand how anyone canlook the parents of OMR in the faceand tell us that it is safe for our chil-dren to be in the school while thiscockroach problem is being treated.

It is not a question of whether theproper guidelines are being followedto treat the cockroach problem. It is aquestion of the health factor for thechildren and staff to be continuallyexposed to the potential risks and dan-gers posed by these cockroaches.(Again, read the research.)

I am not happy at all with thethought of a cockroach crawlingacross my daughter’s desk where sheworks, places her hands and eats hersnack. At this point no one can say thatthat is not a strong possibility, espe-cially since my research shows thatdaytime sightings of oriental cock-roaches means a heavy infestation.

I now have to thoroughly checkclothes, lunchboxes and backpacks dailybefore getting into our car or home. It isunfair to continue to expect the OMRfamilies to deal with this. We have beenmore than patient. This has been a prob-lem that has been unsuccessfullyresolved since the spring!

Just last week, I was inside theschool at approximately 2:45 p.m. andsaw a live cockroach crawling on theground outside Ms. Ward’s classroomby the kindergarten dismissal doors. Iran right into the office and asked theoffice staff to please tell Ms. DeLucaimmediately.

My concern was the children beingdismissed within minutes of this sight-ing. The office staff said they wouldcall the custodian down (not tell Ms.DeLuca, who was there in her office).I again voiced my concern about thechildren coming out within minutes.

The lack of reaction from the officeto handle this more expeditiously wasinfuriating, and when a staff memberwho was in the office saw I was upset,she contemptuously volunteered toput her flip flop on it. It seems almostas if they are just used to it andaccepting of the situation.

I left last Friday’s meeting feelingconfused, angry, upset and completelyuninformed. I am sorry to say that I didnot believe a lot of what we were toldas far as the cleaning and aggressiveapproaches that are supposedly beingtaken using this “IPM” [Integrated PestManagement] approach.

I just don’t see how it is physical-ly possible with the current staff todo everything daily that is supposedto be done without adding morestaff. If I remember correctly, it wasstated at the meeting that cost was noobject. So adding more staff shouldhave been something that was donemonths ago.

I absolutely don’t pretend to haveall the answers. I am a proactive per-son and like to head things off beforea problem occurs. If cost is truly noobject, I do not see the harm in beingproactive and relocating the childrenuntil the cockroaches are gone. I amnot ignorant and do not expect a 100%absolute guarantee.

I understand that there is alwaysthe potential of pest control problemsin a school, but what we have rightnow is an out-of-control heavy infes-tation that has been going on formonths in which the children andstaff are continuously exposed topotentially dangerous bacteria,germs, diseases and illnesses, someof which have lasting chronic condi-tions. How can that be ignored?

I look forward to a more organizedand informative follow-up meetingthat is scheduled during the eveninghours within 30-40 days of theSeptember 21 meeting. In the eventthere is no significant improvement, Iwould hope that you would be pre-pared with an aggressive solution toan immediate alternative location forour children. It is not too much to ask.

After all, we all agree that the well-being of the children and staff are ofthe utmost concern.

Thank you for your courtesies andprompt attention to this matter.

Tracey J. Picone

From David Feller, North Merricksuperintendent of schools, as sent tothe OMR school community:

Dear parents:Last Friday, a meeting was held at

OMR to provide parents and staffwith an update regarding the issuethat we have had with cockroaches.In attendance were James Saitta,director of school facilities, PeterScala, president of Parkway PestControl Services, Neil Brown, Boardof Education president, three otherboard trustees and me.

As many of you were not able toattend, I am taking this opportunity toprovide you with a summary of stepsthat have been taken since last Spring,during the summer, and those that weare continuing:

The district has enlisted the servic-es of a professional exterminatingcompany, Parkway Pest ControlServices. Parkway has worked exten-sively with school districts acrossNassau County. As per New YorkState law, the approach that they useis referred to as Integrated PestManagement (IPM), which utilizesnontoxic substances that have provento be effective in pest control.

This IPM approach is used so as notto place children or staff in harm’sway due to the potential health haz-ards associated with toxic substances.

Last spring, Parkway came to theschool and assessed the situation –seeking out potential entry points and

CAPTAIN’S VISIT: CaptainLawrence Wor ters, a longtimemember of the Historical Society ofthe Merricks, recently visited JodiScavelli’s second-grade class atChatter ton Elementary School totalk about the home of his ances-tors, Grand Manan Island, Canada,just north of Maine. Looking on ishistorical society member JeromeMedowar, a former teacher atChatter ton.

Captain Wor ters helped arrangefor a penpal exchange betweenthe Grand Manan CommunitySchool and Chatter ton, whosePrincipal Cindy Davidowitz alsohappens to have family in CapeBreton Island, Canada.

From the Bay ofFundy to the Bay of Fundy

Only local boaters will know thebody of water off the MeadowbrookParkway bridge southwest of Merrickis called the Bay of Fundy. There isanother, more famous Bay of Fundyjust north of Maine, near the Canadiancoast. And that is where the ancestorsof longtime Merokian CaptainLawrence Worters hail from.

Several months ago, Captain Wortersand his wife Vera visited that island,meeting some long-lost cousins. Hebecame fascinated with the place, not-ing the natives "like to keep the island asecret because they think it is paradise."

This week he shared some of thosesecrets with second-graders in JodiScavelli’s class at Chatterton School,whose Principal Cindy Davidowitz alsohas family on an island off the coast ofCanada, Cape Breton.

The children learned that the GrandManan Island is 17 miles long andseven miles wide at the widest part. Allthe villages are on one side, because tallcliffs line the other. Most of the peoplemake their living from fishing herringor codfish or harvesting a kind of sea-weed called “dulse” that is known for itshealth benefits. The island has oneschool serving grades K-10.

The principal of the Canadianschool, Richard Lloyd and its secondgrade teacher, Mrs. Cronk, welcomedthe idea of a penpal exchange withMrs. Scavelli’s class, which mayinvolve not only pen and paper andAmerican and Canadian stamps butalso email and Skype.

Merrick students may learn how lifeon Grand Manan Island differs from thelife on Prince Edward Island led by thatstorybook heroine Anne of GreenGables from the series by Canadianauthor Lucy Maud Montgomery, as wellas how much it is like their own.

For Captain Worters, who has sailedaround the world 13 times in his life,discovering how the world is differentand how it is the same is an importantpart of education. One thing is the samethe world over – Giving out a smile canmake someone else happy. He urged thechildren to remember that on October27, “Change Someone’s Life” Day andactually, every day.

He plans to return to the school afterthe children have had their “island toisland” exchange with Canada and learnfrom them!

Celebrating 40 years Sheryl and Richard Etringer, of

Merrick celebrated their 40th weddinganniversary. They were married on June11, 1972. They celebrated with familyand friends in Las Vegas while attend-ing their son Matthew’s wedding cere-mony at Mandalay Bay. Following thewedding, they vacationed another weekin the Las Vegas area. Mr. Etringer is a1971 graduate of Calhoun High School.

WeddingJennifer and Matthew Etringer, son of

Sheryl and Richard Etringer, were mar-ried on June 29 at Valley of the Falls atMandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The groomis a 1996 graduate of Calhoun HighSchool. His brother David, who was thebest man, is a 2009 graduate of Calhounand is in his senior year at SUNYAlbany. The couple honeymooned at LaParidisus in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

A family that stays together

causes of the activity.Parkway immediately baited crawl

spaces and other areas of concern, anddid an extensive search throughout theentire building.

During these investigations, we dis-covered and corrected several plumb-ing issues throughout the building thatwere causing moisture in the crawlspaces – a contributor to theincreased activity. I wrote to you onMay 23 to advise you of the steps thatwe were taking at that time.

Parkway visited the school on a reg-ular basis throughout the Spring andduring the summer.

A Parkway representative came to aBoard of Education meeting duringthe summer to report on the progressand status of the treatments.

Reports that we received rightbefore the start of school were that thenumber of cockroaches were signifi-cantly reduced. When the school yearfirst started, we received significantlyfewer reports of cockroach sightingsthan we had received last Spring.

However, after the first two weeksof school, our numbers began toincrease again. Since that time, thefollowing steps have been taken:

Our director of facilities re-inspect-ed the entire crawl space with the rep-resentative from Parkway and deter-mined two more possible entry pointsdue to leaks in the school’s foundationthat we are in the process of fullyaddressing.

A parent informational meeting washeld on Friday, September 21.

During the meeting it was also men-tioned that we have been in ongoingcontact with the Office of Health andSafety at Nassau BOCES for itsadvice and guidance. The director inthis office, Peter LaDuca, stronglyrecommended that we continue withthe IPM approach, expressing thepotential harmful effect of using moretoxic approaches.

The [county] Health Departmentcame to inspect the school and we havebeen advised that they are satisfied withhow we are addressing the situation.

At our parent meeting, the Parkwayrepresentative stated that, overall, we’veseen an approximate 70% decrease inthe problem since last spring.

Our director of facilities [recently]spoke with a State EducationDepartment official regarding thisissue. The SED official also expressedthat we were handling the situationappropriately and was glad to learn ofour involvement with Mr. LaDuca.

We have also reached out to theCornell Cooperative Extension, anonprofit group that deals with envi-ronmental issues, for a second opinionand a representative is meeting withus later this week.

On behalf of our Board ofEducation, I wish to assure you thatwe will continue to aggressivelyaddress this problem until it is fullyrectified. We have also directed allstaff to immediately report any sight-ings so we can keep accurate data tobe assured that we are making signifi-cant progress.

During the meeting, I also indicated

that we would hold a follow-upmeeting within 30-40 days to pro-vide the community with an update.Please know that we take this prob-lem very seriously and are fullycommitted to addressing it fully.Mr. Saitta and I are always avail-able if you have any additional con-cerns or questions.

Finally, I am sure that many ofyou may have seen the news reportthat appeared about this issue.When a news truck and reportershowed up on Friday, I chose to beinterviewed and to allow them intothe school to attend the meeting.

We believe that it is important forthe community to know that we aretreating this problem in a seriousand responsible manner. Of course,as additional information comes toour attention, we will take whateversteps are necessary to safely addressthis problem and keep youinformed.

The well-being of our childrenand staff is our greatest concern.

Sincerely,David S. Feller

Superintendent of Schools

Editor’s Note: Merrick Lifespoke with David Feller on October2. He indicated that the district hasmade arrangements to obtain a sec-ond opinion from another extermi-nating company, and has also addedextra staff to support the efforts ofthe custodial staff at Old Mill Road.

Bellmore talent show coming Following their recent historical success

in getting over 12 comedians on the sameBellmore stage in a memorial to their late,great ventriloquist-comedian friend VinceDantana – and George, promoters RickMorgan and Gary Smith are teaming uponce more to bring a new kind of entertain-ment vehicle to Bellmore: a monthly talentshow at the Bellmore Movies andShowplace on Friday nights!

“We’re looking for musicians, come-dians, singers, poets, acoustic acts,magicians, duos, jugglers” and anyoneelse who thinks they have an act theywant to perform or perfect on stage,remarked Mr. Smith, who runsNYEntertainmentclub.com.

“People who juggle knives and bayonets,poets who want to get their words out,duos who want to get some recognition,these are the kinds of performers we arelooking for to create a great variety ofentertainment,” Mr. Morgan toldBellmore Life.

And it all starts Friday, November 9,when doors open at 9:30 p.m. and the show

begins at 10 p.m.The talent show concept has been a long

time in wait to the Bellmore stage, said Mr.Morgan. “Comedy clubs have open mics,”he said, “so our goal is to incorporate moretalent into the open mic concept, and pro-vide a variety show.”

He calls it “a night of entertainment.” Mr. Morgan is no stranger to promoting

talent. He told Bellmore Life he promotedthe English group Foreigner when they firstarrived on Long Island, and he was respon-sible for all the concerts that gave Hot DogBeach its name in the Hamptons during themusic craze of the ’60s.

He has produced hundreds of comedyshows throughout the New York area andthe East End.

Mr. Smith, who guided the mercurialgrowth of a comedy club in Bellmore dur-ing the comedic heyday of the 1980s and’90s, said the theater stage “is the perfectvenue for this kind of show.”

To sign up to be a star, call Mr. Smith atNYEntertainmentclub.com at 785-4234, orthe theater at 783-3199.

Keeping pressure on convicted drunkdrivers who continue to slip throughloopholes and drive drunk, SenatorCharles J. Fuschillo Jr. (R-Merrick)announced new state regulations thatmay finally keep them off the road.

Drivers convicted of multiple alco-hol or drug-related offenses cannotnow permanently lose their licenseunder existing law, unless they areinvolved in two Driving Under theInfluence (DUI) crashes resulting ininjury or death.

And while drivers with three ormore intoxicated driving convictionswithin four years – or four or morewithin eight years – face “permanent”license revocation, they can actuallyapply to get their licenses back afteronly five years. That will change under the new regu-lations, said Senator Fuschillo.

“Someone with six or seven DWI[Driving While Intoxicated] convic-tions should not legally be allowed todrive with a license in New YorkState, but right now that’s exactlywhat is happening. Driving is a privi-lege, not a right, and if you repeated-ly endanger innocent lives by drivingunder the influence, they you should-n’t be allowed on the road,” said thesenator, chairman of the state Senate’sTransportation Committee.

“These new regulations will givethe New York State Department ofMotor Vehicles greater ability to pre-vent these dangerous drivers from get-ting licenses that they don’t deserve,”

he added.The senator sponsored similar legis-

lation in the Senate, which wouldensure that persistent drunk drivingoffenders have their driver’s licensespermanently revoked.

Under the new regulations, whichare already in effect:

• The Department of Motor Vehicles(DMV) will review the lifetime recordof all drivers who apply to have theirlicense reinstated after a revocation.

But DMV will deny any applicationfor license reinstatement if:

• the applicant has five or morealcohol- or drug-related convictionsin their lifetime.

• there are three or more alcoholdrug-related driving convictions inthe last 25 years plus at least one otherserious driving offense during thatperiod.

Serious driving offenses include afatal crash; a driving related penal lawconviction; an accumulation of 20 ormore points assessed for driving vio-lations within the last 25 years, orhaving two or more driving convic-tions each worth five points or higher.

If the driver has three or four alco-hol- or drug-related convictions butno serious driving offense in the last25 years, DMV will:

• Deny their applications for fiveyears beyond their statutory revoca-tion period if the applicant’s licensewas revoked for a reason other than analcohol- or drug-related offense.

• Restore the applicant’s license

after that additional period as a“restricted” license, limiting theapplicant’s driving to, and from workor medical visits for example.

• Require an interlock on the vehi-cle driven by the applicant for fiveyears whose revocations stem froman alcohol-related offense

• No longer reinstate licenses earlywhen completing DMV’s drinkingdriver program if a repeat DUIoffender’s driver license is suspendedor revoked.

According to the DMV, more than50,000 drivers with valid or suspend-ed licenses have three or more alco-hol-related convictions in their life-times, and 15,000 of those drivers hadtheir three or more alcohol-relatedconvictions in the last 20 years.

An ongoing construction projectincludes new curbing and sidewalks onMerrick Avenue, starting near theSacred Heart School and ending atCamp Avenue.

The project was initiated to enhancepublic safety, said Norma Gonsalves,deputy presiding officer of the Nassaucounty Legislature (13th LD).

Construction north of Henry Road willbe completed within the week, Ms.Gonsalves said. However, constructionfrom Henry Road to Camp Avenue willhave to wait until next year.

“[The North Merrick School

District] had asked us to do the northend first and then do the south endafter the school finished their con-struction,” Ms. Gonsalves said.

The district finished its construction atthe end of August, but because of the dis-trict’s construction efforts, the construc-tion through Camp Avenue cannot con-tinue without a new design plan, Ms.Gonsalves said.

“We do not like to do constructionwhile the schools are in session,” Ms.Gonsalves concluded.”
