A fire at Approved Marine on HudsonAvenue in Freeport destroyed 16 boatsand damaged at least four others in a firethat occured on Wednesday, February 1,at 3:44 p.m. Two men were injured.
According to the detectives from theArson/Bomb Squad, two men fromRoosevelt, both 30 years of age, werehired to extract a fuel tank from a boatthat was in storage at the marina. Themen believed the tank was empty of fueland they attempted to cut the tank outfrom its position using a power saw,said detectives.
Sparks flew igniting the residual fuel
and the boat burst into flames. The firespread and destroyed 16 boats and dam-aged four others. The Freeport FireDepartment, assisted by the Oceanside,North Merrick, Point Lookout Lido andBaldwin Fire Departments, respondedto the scene with over 200 firefightersand 18 pieces of fire apparatus to extin-guish the blaze.
Both men suffered non-life threaten-ing burns to their bodies and were trans-ported to a local hospital where theywere admitted for treatment of theirinjuries. No other injuries were reportedas a result of this incident.

The Freeport Village Board meetingscheduled for Monday, February 13, hasbeen moved to Wednesday, February 15,
when a resolution will be considered ona much-discussed topic: rules regardingthe taping of village board meetings andother village events for broadcast onpublic access cable TV.
After the remainder of the agenda ofthe Monday, February 6 meeting hadbeen dealt with, trustee Robert Kennedymade a motion for a vote on the resolu-tion. Mayor Andrew Hardwick refusedto entertain the motion on the groundsthat it was not on the agenda.
The mayor then moved that the boardgo into executive to discuss personnelmatters. Several minutes of silence fol-lowed, as the motion did not receive asecond. Mayor Hardwick then called arecess to assess whether the non-agendaitem could be taken up at that time.
After several minutes the boardreturned, and after the resolution wasread, the board agreed to consider thematter at the rescheduled February 15meeting.
Refunding bondsThe board approved a resolution
authorizing issuance of $52.33 millionof bonds to refund 2004 Series A(Freeport Electric) and 2004 Series B(tax certiorari, flood mitigation and afire truck) bonds.
Village bond counselor David Tannerexplained that this was similar to a homerefinance, where debt is rebonded at alower interest rate, and estimated that the village wouldsave $5 million over the next 19 years.
Former Deputy Village AttorneySteven Malone noted that most of thesavings would go to the Electric Utility,and asked if this savings would bereflected in his electric bill.
Electric Superintendent AnthonyFiore responded that other issues couldeffect electric bills in the future (cost ofpower, pension liabilities, etc.), makingany such savings problematic, but that
the savings could mitigate futureincreases in electric rates.
In other matters the board:• Agreed to put bids in The Leader and
other publications for maintenance andlandscaping of village properties and2012 nursery supplies. It was explainedthat minority publications (Spanish lan-guage) received notices, and bid noticeswere also available online. MayorHardwick also stated that the villagewanted to encourage participation in thebid process by Freeport companies aswell as minority ones.
• Extended the 2011 asphalt pavingcontract (Roadwork Ahead, Westbury)and the 2011 annual curb and sidewalkprogram (Armond Cement Contracting,Merrick) through February 28, 2013.One resident, having had difficulty withpaving on her street, asked that the vil-lage remind the contractors to properlyrope off the new paving so the settingcement was not disturbed.
• Awarded the contract for furnishingone new diesel-powered six-wheelregenerative air street sweeper to TriusInc. of Bohemia at a cost of $248,000.
• Designated Sentry Electric Corp. ofAlbany Avenue, Freeport, was solesource provider for Country coloniallighting.
• Approved an agreement withOperation SPLASH for one year at acost of $25,000. Resident Alan Jaypraised SPLASH for its work, andlaunched into his frequently expressedviews on “environmental fanatics.”
• A village citation was presented tothe fire department in recognition of itswork in connection with the recent boatfire (see page 2).

The principals revoltby J.L. Toscano
On February 15 Long Island University/C.W Post Campuswill hold a symposium titled “More than a Number” to discussthe new teacher and principal evaluation system.
Panelists will include Dr. Carol Burris, principal, South SideHigh School, Rockville Centre Schools; Gail Casciano, princi-pal, Nassakeag Elementary School, Three Village Schools; Dr.Sean Feeney, principal, The Wheatley School, East WillistonSchools; Sharon Fougner, principal, E.M. Baker School, GreatNeck Schools; Dr. LaQuita Outlaw, principal, Bay ShoreMiddle School, Bay Shore Schools; and Dr. Terry Orr, profes-sor, Bank Street College, and director, Future School LeadersAcademy. It will be moderated by Dr. Arnold Dodge, chair andassistant professor, Department of Educational Leadership andAdministration, Long Island University.
Many of these administrators herald from affluent dis-tricts, where students will score well on standardized tests. Inother words, their students will score well and their person-al ratings will be high under the new system. However, theyfeel that the new Annual Principal Performance Review ishighly flawed and oppose the “value-added” business-styleevaluation model for teaching and learning. Many feel thatthe new evaluation rules, imposed by politicians in Albany,will have drastic and negative consequences for how teach-ers teach and how students learn.
Over 1,330 New York principals and over 4,300 con-cerned citizens have signed an open letter (APPR paper)outlining serious flaws in the system that politicians con-tinue to ignore and overlook (www.newyorkprincipals.org/home). They highlight several concerns:
“Educational research and researchers strongly cautionagainst teacher evaluation approaches like New YorkState’s APPR legislation.”
“Students will be adversely affected by New York’sAPPR.”
“Tax dollars are being redirected from schools to testingcompanies, trainers and outside vendors.”
The paper goes into further detail regarding each of theseconcerns, and the principals offer recommendations abouthow to build a system that will improve our schools ratherthan weaken them to line the pockets of special interests. Ifyou care about our educational system, I recommend readingthe entire letter and attending the symposium. The princi-pals’ revolt is important, and it may be the only thing stand-ing between a highly flawed and politicized model for edu-cation – mandated by politicians who are motivated by spe-cial interests – and your children.
At the very least, follow the money and find out who willbenefit financially from the new APPR.

The Bridal World, has a large selectionof dresses – off-the-rack as well as customgowns – to suit the taste and budget ofany bride. Ronnie Warshaw, owner ofThe Bridal World, said “many times weget unique gowns that manufacturersdecide not to mass produce. We are ableto offer them to our customers.”
Additionally, “our off-the-rack inven-tory is one of the largest and many ofthese gowns have a couture feel,” shesaid. The off-the-rack gowns costbetween $500 and $1,200.
Mrs. Warshaw, who has been in thebridal business since 1981, said more andmore gowns “have that couture feel – theruffles, the beautiful fabrics that wereonce the exclusive domain of very expen-sive gowns, over $5,000. These gownswere not affordable for theaverage girl. But that haschanged. Now the gowns arevery lovely, so romantic,” shesaid.
And for the bride whowants a custom gown, TheBridal World suggests that thebride buy her dress “at leastsix months [before the wed-ding date]. Companies don’tstock like they used to, so itusually takes 16 weeks to get adress and then you need timefor alterations,” she explained.“We don’t want to rush thebride.” Mrs. Warshaw saidThe Bridal World has twoseamstresses on staff. Custom
dresses start at about $700.The Bridal World also has all the acces-
sories a bride may need including veilsand tiaras, hair jewelry, gloves, shoes,crinolines and other undergarments. Italso stocks over 100 different brides-maids’ dresses. The dresses are offered,on average, in 29 different colors. “Onecompany makes the dresses available in59 colors,” said Mrs. Warshaw.
“We are here to help the bride, tomake her day special,” she said.
The Bridal World is on Grand Avenuein Baldwin. It is open six days a week; butclosed on Wednesdays. You may visit thewebsite at www.thebridalworld.com.Mrs. Warshaw said that in five weeks anew state-of-the-art website will be upand running.

Every year the community newspa-per puts together an edition about localcouples getting married, engaged andwhat to do for your valentine – butwhat if you don’t have a one? Here’show one Bellmore native took someadvice on how to meet women, turnedit into a business and ended upengaged.
When this newspaper first met AdamKornblum he had just developed aboard game with his longtime friendand fellow Kennedy High School grad-uate Joe Davis. The duo exuded confi-dence, tenacity and guts. What theyneeded (at the time) was a little bit ofpress and was looking to see if theirhometown newspaper would be inter-ested in doing a story.
So we did – not just because theyasked but because it was a great storyseeing how these two developed aboard game teaching the pitfalls andtriumphs of credit, credit cards and get-ting loans. Within a year, they sold thegame “Charge Large” to Hasbro, whichis still available on store shelves andonline.
Fast forwarding to now, Mr.Kornblum has teamed up with seven-time New York Times best-sellingauthor Neil Strauss to create “Who’sGot Game?” a board game based onMr. Strauss’ internationally read seduc-tion books. When first published, thebooks caused a huge uproar, exposingthe world of pick-up artists and howpeople would go to great extremes to
meet and interest the opposite sex.Among its tasks, the game gives con-
versational starters and tells whatyour/your partner’s handwritingreveals. The game dispenses valuableinformation that can be used in rela-tionship building. One such skill is pea-cocking, or the act of wearing (oraccomplishing) something that drawsattention and starts conversations –think one thing that will catch some-one’s eye.
Like the books it is based on (“TheGame” and “The Rules of the Game”)“Who’s Got Game?” can be used tobreak the ice and get to know people —whether strangers or your own part-ner—in minutes. It just might even leadto love right before Valentine’s Day.
The game comprises 10 differenttypes of script cards, including reveal-ing personality tests, fun physicalchallenges, social intelligence ques-tions, secret persuasion missions,handwriting analysis and palmreadinggames, partner-based conspiracies andmore.
So how did the the “Game” gamecome to be? Mr. Kornblum, a profes-sional at social networking and mar-keting strategy (that’s what he does fora living) reached out to Neil Straussthrough e-mail and Facebook. Mr.Strauss, on his end, gets hundreds ofe-mails a day – as someone who writesfrom the perspective of a great com-municator. He answers every e-mail hegets himself or oversees what his teamresponds to – and Mr. Kornblum’s e-mail got his attention.
Above having “the track record ofselling ‘Charge Large’ to Hasbro” –Mr. Strauss could tell he had “passion”and that he knew the material insideand out. He listened to Mr.Kornblum’s pitch with great interest,with one point being, “It had to be justas much fun for men to play aswomen. In other words, it had to be a(party) game that’s primary purpose isfun and social… Like the game itself,it had to elicit comfort and trust…”Mr. Strauss said.
It did just that. The two collaborated on the game,
devising almost completely new mate-rial based off the books creating a sortof trilogy of dating and relationshipbuilding tools.
The evidence that it works is clear,at least in Mr. Kornblum’s case, ashe’s now engaged to be married.
This newspaper got a sneak peak at“Who’s Got Game” last summer whileit was still in its production stage. Assomeone unfamiliar with Mr. Strauss’swork (and who’s been married for near-ly 18 years), would it be hard to get oreven find interest in the concept?
However, the opposite appearedtrue. The game’s approach and theskills it helps the player with are easilytranslated outside dating and into thebusiness world. It’s very appealing,and there are implicit tactics in devel-oping conversations and drawingresponses from subjects. Keep in mind,though, like the books it is modeledafter, that it is intended for adults 18and older.
10 ways “Who’s Got Game?” works1) It’s the perfect game for any party
or social gathering. 2) It’s the perfect follow up to Neil
Strauss’ bestsellers “The Game” and“Rules of the Game.”
3) Play it for fun and for training.4) It can be brought to cafes, malls
and bars, and used to meet new people(portable pack included).
5) Each round the leader picks up ascript card, reads it aloud and transformsinto the most interesting person in theroom.
6) Ten different types of script cards,including revealing personality tests,fun physical challenges, social intelli-gence questions, secret persuasion mis-sions, handwriting analysis and palm-reading games, partner-based conspira-cies and more are included.
7) Best played with a partner. Picksomeone you know – or someone youwant to get to know!
8) It is especially designed to turn anaverage night into an amazing one.
9) Everything that you wished wouldbe in “The Game” is in “Who’s GotGame?” (Never before seen materialfrom Mr. Strauss is included).
10) All handwriting analysis cardshave been personally reviewed andapproved for accuracy by Bart Baggett.He is known as one of the world’s tophandwriting experts.
Now available in Barnes and Noblestores and on amazon.com. It can also befound for purchase on Facebook –search “Who’s Got Game?”

Valentine’s Day can either be apleasurable occasion or stress-filledwith high expectations and disap-pointment. If you have that specialrelationship, Valentine’s Day can be atime to show love and affection. Forsingles, the day can be a reminder ofloneliness or a missing relationship.
Even people who do have signifi-cant others can wind up hatingValentine’s Day. The problem is thatit often comes with a predeterminedset of expectations. Someone mayexpect a certain gift, a special nightout or some other gesture.Disappointment results wheneverexpectations are not met.
Surviving for couplesValentine’s Day isn’t a day of
amnesty or a single opportunity to fixproblems in a relationship. Issuesdon’t pop up overnight, nor can theybe fixed that way. If you anticipaterepairing a relationship in one day,you will be disappointed.
Don’t get caught up in the commer-cialization. Relationships portrayed inadvertisements don’t necessarilyreflect reality. You can show you carewith the use of your heart and imagi-nation. Do simple things that say,“I’m thinking of you.”
Don’t rely on your partner to readyour mind. If you have specificdesires, share them. Give withoutexpecting anything in return. Small,thoughtful gestures mean a lot; don’toverlook them.
Not everyone gets enthusiasticabout Valentine’s Day. If your partnerisn’t that excited, don’t read too muchinto it. Do whatever feels comfortableand be OK with it. You don’t have todo anything you are uncomfortablewith. Simply saying, “HappyValentine’s Day. I love you” sends themessage that you are thinking of yourpartner.
Surviving for singlesAccept your emotions. If you are
sad and lonely, it’s OK. You feel whatyou feel. Just because you may not
happen to be in a relationship forValentine’s Day does not mean thereis anything wrong with you.
Be social. Organize a group ofother singles for dinner out or someother social activity. You may not beinvolved romantically, but you havemore people in your life who careabout you than you realize.
Treat yourself. Buy or do some-thing special. Splurge a little. Ratherthan fixating on not being in a rela-tionship at the moment, be thankfulfor what’s good in your life.Ironically, singles spend a lot of timehoping for a relationship, while manyin a relationship lament the freedomof their single days.
Valentine’s Day is as commercial-ized as Christmas. Look at all themoney and stress you save by notbeing caught up in the frenzy.Immerse yourself in other activities.If you are busy, you won’t even noticeValentine’s Day. Help others in need.When you do, you will also feel bet-ter.
If you want a relationship, be proac-tive. Don’t wait for a relationship tofind you, go out and look for one.Stay upbeat. A happy person is muchmore attractive than someone with aperpetual frown. No one wants tospend time with a person who is bitteror resentful.
If there is someone you are interest-ed in, take the initiative. Invite themto get together with you. Stay socia-ble. Get out and about. Involve your-self in a variety of activities. Thereare many opportunities to meet peo-ple. Join a gym, take a class, volun-teer, join a singles group, and pursueyour hobbies.
Regardless of your situation, keepin mind that Valentine’s Day is onlyone day. Good or bad, it goes byquickly.

A friend told me that the best thinga mother-in-law can do is to open herpocketbook and shut her mouth. Ithink this is sage advice.
I have attended far too many wed-dings where the bride and the mother-in-law were at odds. Perhaps this conflictarises from the nature of the relation-ship – a battle over who reigns supremein the heart of the beloved male.
I attended one wedding where themother-in-law didn’t show up becausethe new couple had refused to movein with her after the wedding. I guessthat was better than the mother-in-lawwho dressed in black and hadn’t spo-ken to the bride since the coupleannounced their engagement.
Of course, not all mothers-in-law aremonsters-in-law. I know of one bridewho ripped up a $10,000 check fromher mother-in-law because it was madeout to Mr. and Mrs. instead of thegroom’s name and the bride’s name.
Now it’s my turn. My son is getting married in June
and I have promised myself that I willtry my very best not to meddle.
They will be married in Brooklyn atthe venue of their choice, by a minis-ter of their choice, with music, flow-ers and food...all their choice. I havebecome an expert at saying “thatsounds wonderful,” or “what a greatidea,” and when I really want toimpress my future daughter-in-law, Isay, “I never thought of that!”
So far it’s working. It’s not just that I want to keep peace
in the family, I feel that every bride hasher heart set on her perfect wedding. Itbegins when you are just a girl andgrows and changes as you get older,until finally you meet that specialsomeone and all the pieces fall togeth-er. That’s what happened for me.
I recently learned that my futuredaughter-in-law’s favorite movie as alittle girl was “Gone with The Wind.”She loved the romance betweenScarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler. Sheeven had her mother make her a dress,just like Scarlett’s.
I guess what I am hoping for is that myson has become her Rhett Butler. Sowhy would I mess with that over a party?
Instead, I have vowed to helpnuture this new marriage, a seedling,with love and encouragement bykeeping my opinions to myself.
After all, I’m really quiteMachiavellian. I don’t want my sonback. He belongs to – and with – her.Most of all, he is happy.
I recently asked my son about themenu at his wedding. “What will theyserve at the cocktail hour?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “I thinkfried cheese balls.”
I smiled. “I can’t wait!”

HALF, MINI & FULL DAY CAMP SESSIONSSTARTING AT $1225 FOR 8 WEEKS
by Rachel Broder
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure ofvisiting the Brooklyn Botanical Garden tolisten to Michael Dirr speak. Mr. Dirr is aprofessor of horticulture, author of over10 books and is considered to be a gardenguru and leader in our industry. Just lis-tening to the seminar and exploring thegardens I feel excited and inspired, andcan’t wait to get my hands dirty thisspring!
I know what I like and that is color allseason long! That’s what makes the gar-den look pretty and makes us happy.Planting just New Guinea impatiens andimpatiens can get a little boring and pre-dictable. I prefer a mixture of annualsand perennials with a color theme to cre-ate interest.
Constant color all season long The key is in the variety of plants
within the garden and planting all lev-els of the garden, which include theupper, middle and ground level. Anexample is matching a color of a tree’sflower or leaf with shrubs and perenni-als underneath.
Knowing which plants perform welland have long lasting blooms is veryimportant. Some of my favorites areendless summer hydrangea, knock outrose, crape myrtle and paniclehydrangea. My general rule is to keepthe front garden looking neat with year‘round interest by using evergreens,flowering trees and shrubs and perenni-als.
Perennials can be very powerful, addgreat texture and the element of surprise toa garden. Perennials are my absolutefavorite component of a garden, especially
ones whose flowers stay upright and havelong-lasting or repeat blooms.
Color scheme...What does it mean? In gardening, color means everything.
Color has to match the home, and home-owner’s tastes and preferences. Being inthe landscape design business, I get to playwith a variety of color schemes like colorsin a painting.
Recently, one client requested a whiteshade garden. We filled the area with Skiplaurel (evergreen with white flowers inspring), Annabelle hydrangea (Snow ball),Japanese painted fern, candy tuft and hostapatriot.
For annuals we planted white caladi-um, white geranium and white impa-tiens. This past season we extended thegarden (in a sunny area) and added whitecrape myrtle and white carpet roses. If Ihad to describe the feeling of the gardenin one word, I would say “peaceful,”which was exactly what my client want-ed. Just imagine a white garden themefor a wedding...OK...maybe we can addtouch of soft pink and lavender.
The first signs of springNothing says spring like the bloom of
bright yellow daffodils! It might soundstrange but yellow daffodils are the happi-est flower I have ever seen! I’m lookingforward to warmer weather, celebratingmy 10th year in business and hopefullyinspiring someone to go out this springand get their hands dirty and create a beau-tiful garden.

Flower Shoppe & Fruiterers, knows justwhat the bride wants on her special day.
“Although many brides are familiarwith some flowers and know what theylike and don’t like, we help them thinkabout what they really want. What arethey really looking for?”
Ms. Smith said a bride should pick thecolor of her flowers after “her brides-maids have their dresses. Then we knowwhat colors to work with.”
Additionally, “we take into considera-tion what flowers are in season.Although we can get any flower at anytime of year, those that are in bloom areusually the most beautiful,” she said.
Merrick Flower Shoppe can also cre-ate other floral delights including a chu-pah made from flowers or an archway.“We also will make bouquets to be dis-played at the altar or place flowers andribbons down the aisles. Really, we cando it all,” said Ms. Smith.

Planning a cruise to warm-weatherports? What a fun-filled, care-free wayto spend a vacation or honeymoon!From dreaming to actual cruising, this isone of life’s most enjoyable experi-ences, perhaps only slightly marred bybut two minor details...shopping, thenpacking! Here are some wardrobecruise-do’s that will help set your courseover the sea of love.
• On the Sun Deck – Your presentsummer-wear will do just fine up here,though you may want to bring an extraswimsuit. While at poolside or strollingthe sunny beaches, you’ll need a wide-brimmed hat for protection from sun-exposure. I recommend hats that are cer-tified for UPF 50uv protection. Whenlunching or cocktailing, you’ll findlightweight, breatheable fabrics workbest, and may certainly be worn again.
• Ports-of-Call – Comfort is key here,but do remember, shore visits oftenmean long, leisurely walks of explo-ration and shopping. Comfortablefootwear is a must, while lightweightscarves offer protection and warmth,
especially if remaining for an eveningdinner when many tropical portsbecome cool and breezy.
• Dining and Dancing – Today’stropical cruises are far less formal thandays of “your” (as in, “your parents”)But do pack at least two formal outfits:one cocktail dress, and a gown.Consult your ship’s website to deter-mine the number of formal events arescheduled, then which ones you’llactually attend (probably “zilch” bylast few days!). Bring a selection offashion jewelry to compliment bothformal and casual outfits.
So relax and enjoy, knowing you like-ly already own much of the apparelneeded to minimize your oceanic angst!Your current summerwear, along withperhaps a few pieces of jewelry andaccessories, will do much to give yourcruise experience a lifetime of pleasantmemories. Bon voyage!

We Fix 4 You of Merrick, a computerand cellular repair and retail storeowned and operated by Marcelo Carrilloand his wife Andrea Carrillo, specializesin fixing damaged phones and comput-ers, as well as selling accessories.
“We wanted to open the storebecause, with the struggling economyand advancing technology, it is better torepair your equipment than buy new,”stated Mr. Carrillo. Currently, computersoftware and cellphone plans are actual-ly costing more than the technologyitself. The Carrillos are planning to holdclasses to help coustomers understandtoday’s advanced technology.
“We hope that by offering workshopsand seminars, we can educate residentson how to use certain programs correct-ly, and eventually help them savemoney,” Mrs. Carrillo added.
The store specializes in Mac andApple products, but can help anyone ona computer or technology related issue,as they are the only repair shop in town.Merchandise for sale includes phone
accessories such as cases, chargers andscreen protectors.
“We even offer a mobile plan calledSimple Mobile. It is better than some of thelarger, more popular services from Verizonor AT&T because it has better prices forcomplete plans,” declared Mr. Carrillo.
The computers for sale have low costswith many programs already installed.The most expensive laptop available is$339 with complete software, which ischeaper than a new computer without.“We just want to help people savemoney,” said Mrs. Carrillo.
The store opened on December 26after several months of research. TheCarillos looked for a suitable locationfor their business around June and July.And on November 16, they rented thestore and began developing shortlythereafter.
Marcelo and Andrea are also mem-bers of the Merrick Chamber ofCommerce.

leaderlettersOpposes community
policing centers
To The Leader:Based on information to date or, rather, a
lack thereof, I oppose County ExecutiveEdward Mangano’s police precinct closureplan, which he labels an “enhanced”approach to policing.
Last year, Mr. Mangano proposed clos-ing two police precincts. Now, he wantsdouble that number, cutting half our coun-ty’s precincts.
To close four precincts – two of whichare among the three busiest in the county –is irresponsible, fiscally and logically. It isalso troubling that the county executive isusing public funds and/or phone lists forrobo-calls to tout his plan and provide mis-information regarding alleged savings.
It is difficult to back a plan that elimi-nates our precincts, and replaces them withcommunity centers, staffed by only twopolice officers, especially when we areexperiencing an increase in crime. At oneof the precincts set to close, the First, majorcrime is up almost 14% over the past yearalone, burglaries are up an astounding24%. We have seen a rise in prescriptiondrug abuse, senior home invasions,armed robberies and other seriouscrimes throughout the county.
Our county executive continues toreduce our police force (now below 2,300,when it was 2,700 in 2009) and jeopardizepublic safety, despite this documentedincrease in violent crime and his elimina-tion of special patrols such as problem-ori-ented police, heroin taskforce, anti-gangunit, DWI, plainclothes and traffic enforce-ment.
Mr. Mangano says his plan will savemoney. But, he has consistently gotten hisnumbers wrong. Massive layoffs wereexpected to save $75 million, but onlysaved $21 million. Yet, spending on out-side contracts to politically connectedfirms and administrative costs are up over$20 million.
Additionally, Mr. Mangano’s adminis-tration has failed to collect over $44 mil-lion in unpaid traffic fines. The county hasnot saved what he says it will save, and hisadministration does not collect revenuethat he budgeted from his unprecedented
fee increases. Taxes will not decrease withthese police cuts.
The only thing to decrease is the servicereceived for the taxes being paid – 108officers and four precincts fewer. So whyshould we believe him this time? I am notwilling to compromise our quality of lifeand public safety on his word.
At a hearing, the actual plan was firstpresented to me without research, detailsor facts to back up “projected” savingsof $20 million. The “plan” does notinclude a fiscal analysis or a single wordabout associated costs or how much willbe spent in incentive pay.
At this public safety hearing, my ques-tions went unanswered and the hearingwas recessed. The plan neglects to men-tion how existing precincts will housetwice the activities or the cost to renovatethese community policing centers, whichwill replace the First, Fifth, Sixth andEighth Precinct buildings, or what thesecenters will be.
No information was provided about$15 million being spent on a new FirstPrecinct (community center?) or whatwill happen to ambulances or otherfunctions operated from the closedprecincts.
There are too many unanswered ques-tions for this plan to receive my support.Nassau residents pay some of the high-est taxes in the country. In return, at thevery least, our quality of life and publicsafety must be protected and not jeop-ardized.
Input from community leaders and resi-dents is always welcome. I am hosting ameeting on Thursday, February 16, withthe North and Central Merrick CivicAssociation. There will be a hearing onMonday, February 13, at 11 a.m., at theCounty Legislature and I encourage any-one who feels strongly regarding this issueto come and speak.
Or, if you cannot attend, please send mea statement to give to County ExecutiveMangano and Majority Leader PeterSchmitt about the precinct closings.
You can call my office at 571-6219 or e-mail me at [email protected].
Legislator Dave Denenberg19th Legislative District
Forum on police closuresby Laura Schofer
“We’re upset,” said county LegislatorJoseph Scannell (D-Baldwin, FifthLegislative District), referring to CountyExecutive Edward Mangano’s plan toclose four of the eight police precincts inNassau County, including the FirstPrecinct in Baldwin.
“This is about crime,” he stated. “Doyou feel safe? I don’t. This plan is not safefor the people in Baldwin and not safe forthe people in the First Precinct.”
Other communities covered by the FirstPrecinct include Merrick and Bellmore,north of Sunrise Highway, as well asRoosevelt and Uniondale. CountyExecutive Mangano’s plan would convertthe four closed precincts – the first, thefifth, the sixth and the eighth – into com-munity policing centers that will be staffedby two police officers, 24 hours a day,seven days a week, in an effort to trim $20million from the county budget.
But at a public meeting held at theBaldwin Public Library on Tuesday, manyresidents remained skeptical about theplan. How will the closure effect the community? What are the actual savings? What about the county’s $15 million renovation, already approved to refurbish the First Precinct? Why close the First Precinctwhen it is one of the busiest in the county?Why are three of the four precinct closuresin Democratic legislative districts? Is thisprocess mired in “politics”?
On Monday the county Legislature’spublic safety committee held a meeting todiscuss the plan to downgrade fourprecincts to “community policing centers”but the meeting became “contentious,”said Mr. Scanell.
Legislator David Denenberg (D-Merrick, 19th Legislative District), toldresidents that Monday’s hearing “providedno financial analysis. There is no doubtthat we pay too much in taxes; there arebudgetary constraints we must deal withbut where else can we cut? Why not lookat personnel service contracts? Whatabout using revenue from some of the newfees that the county is collecting? But theygave us no answers.”
County repliesDeputy County Executive Rob Walker
and Deputy Police CommissionerThomas Krumpter provided details of thecounty plan which they say will eliminate156 administrative positions, save taxpay-ers $20 million and not effect service inany way.
“The county looked at every model.Today, we are operating on a 1970 policemodel, but each [patrol] car has a comput-
er. Shift changes do not take place atprecincts,” explained Mr. Walker, whoadded that the police contract requires that38 police officers be in each precinct han-dling administrative tasks. While the planwould eliminate the precinct, the numberof patrol cars would not be effected.
“Now your 911 call goes to NewCassel, not the First Precinct. We will stillkeep 177 cars out on the street. We are put-ting 48 more police officers back on thestreet,” he said.
The First Precinct will become a “com-munity policing center,” which Mr.Walker called a misnomer. “We need abetter name,” he said.
The $15 million set aside for the FirstPrecinct building will still be used to refur-bish the building.
Mr. Krumpter acknowleged that the FirstPrecinct is the second busiest precinct in thecounty (just behind the Fifth Precinct inElmont) with 61,775 calls for service and isin the corridor known for gang activity.
But the county decided to divide Nassauinto four quadrants, with each of the fourremaining precincts covering a quadrant.Additionally, the “buildings are very oldand we need major infrastructure repair,”he told residents. The area served by theFirst Precinct will be absorbed into theSeventh Precinct.
Reaction by legislators, community“The Seventh Precinct doesn’t have the
cells,” said Legislator Denenberg.“We will have a new building here. Put
the precinct here,” said one woman.Mr. Walker said the Seventh Precinct
would only need minor changes. “We’llprovide more details at Monday’s hearing.Come to the Legislature,” he said, refer-ring to a new hearing date on Monday,February 13, at 11 a.m.
“If you downgrade these precincts tocommunity policing centers there will befewer patrol cars,” said one woman whopointed to the police contract that requirespatrol cars based on the number ofprecincts.
“That will be something for the lawyersto figure out,” replied Mr. Walker.
There was also some discussion on therobo calls saying without this plan thecounty would have to increase taxes 19%.
“State law caps our taxes at 2%”explained Mr. Scannell. “It’s scare tactics.””What I’m hearing is that I’m gettingsomething for nothing,” said one man.“I’m skeptical.”
“I respect that you are trying to save usmoney,” concluded the final speaker. “Butthis doesn’t sound thought through. Whydidn’t you do town meetings and come tous before this? It sounds like it’s beingfast-tracked.”
