Who’s the First Babyof the Year?

by Jacob Derwin and Kim White

Superstorm Sandy continues to leaveLong Island residents struggling to returnto normal and rebuild broken homes.Everything from flooding to roof damagehas become an issue for many families.Luckily, FEMA has come to share itsadvice on how to rebuild much more safe-ly to avoid such wide-reaching catastroph-ic damage again.

MitigationAccording to FEMA officials this news-

paper visited by invitation at a Lowe’sHomecenter, mitigation – building orrebuilding your home to provide for a saferenvironment and stronger structure – startswith your local permit office. When contact-ing the Town of Hempstead BuildingDepartment, you can receive the certificatesand allowances necessary to adjust yourhome and elevation as needed.

The Certificate of Elevation, for example,

allows you to raise or adjust your home basedon the flood plain it is constructed on. Theinformation about the flood plain your land ison and that of the surrounding area comesfrom your local building permit office.

For instance, if your home rests in a floodzone, flood insurance will cost substantiallymore if you haven’t elevated your house asneeded, because of the liability. The build-ing office will give you the proper informa-tion so you can fix your elevation problem– such as elevating your house.

This can seriously reduce your liabilityand save you possibly 50% or more on insur-ance because the liability would be linked tohydrology records. These hydrology studieswill show you how much water could affectyour home in a flooding situation.

MoldOne of the biggest concerns families have

with recently flooded homes is mold. Whatmost people don’t know is how mold worksas a dangerous organism, and what the prop-

er ways of disposing of it are. Mold, through sporing, can spread through

the air to latch onto other walls in the room.Since it can travel in the air, and it tends togrow in warm, moist, dark environments,mold has the ability to potentially grow inyour lungs and cause health problems, suchas mold poisoning, a fungal infection.

There are three stages of mold: child,juvenile and adult. Because of this, it takesthree applications of the correct mixture ofwater-to-bleach (one gallon of water toevery half-cup of bleach) to completelyeliminate it. Too much bleach actuallyencourages mold growth, so following theproper instructions is very important.

The tiny specks of mold we see on anydamaged surface are only the tips of tenta-cles of the full mold bacteria behind thewalls. The actual organisms are at least 10times larger than what we see. Yes, this gaveus chills too.

By spraying the bleach-to-water mixtureon the mold, and leaving it for 10 minutes,

then rinsing it with clear water, the maturestage of the mold will die. But because thereare three stages, once the mature stage diesthe juvenile stage then becomes the maturestage, requiring a second application of themixture to kill it off.

One more application will be needed tokill juvenile stage, which by now hasbecome another mature stage.

Another step to take in preventing thegrowth of not only mold, but mildew andfungi, is to manage the humidity and mois-ture in the air. Keeping low humidity bymeans of a dehumidifier, fans or a desiccantsin smaller closed areas, will stop any of thosenasty organisms from growing in your home.

One trick we found interesting was usingcat litter made of clay, a somewhat commonhousehold product, as a desiccant. This willbe a long process for homes with heavydamage, but is important in maintaining thestability of your home, and getting rid ofthat less-than-savory odor.

FEMA pointers…

Because residue from flood levels canseep up to two feet higher on a wall thanthe flood level itself – ie., a two-foot floodlevel seeps two extra feet up a wall – cre-ating mold far from the initial soaking,FEMA recommends installing special drywall that is resistant to mold, and is avail-able in four-foot sections.

These four-foot sections make it easierto remove than having to take the wholewall down, from ceiling to floor.

A FEMA pamphlet – available at selecthome centers – provides a chart outlining

items that should, or must, be discardedafter soaked by flood water. Things to bedisposed of include mattresses, pillows,large carpets, upholstered couches andchairs. Items that must be thrown outinclude food, medical supplies and babytoys, as well as cosmetics.

The main thing emphasized by FEMAisthe need to, once again, contact your localbuildings office to get all the informationon your home’s area having to do with ele-vation, flood plains, and the proper worknecessary to keep every safe in the face ofa storm such as superstorm Sandy.

Three animal rescuers – DianeMadden, Lucille DeFina and FrancesLucivero-Pelletiers – were awarded$150,000 as a judgement that settles alawsuit against the Town ofHempstead’s Animal Shelter inWantagh and various town officials,including Supervisor Kate Murray.This judgement means there will beno court trial.

Steven Morelli, attorney for theplaintiffs, called the judgement a“clear victory, not only for the plain-tiffs, not only for proponents of FirstAmendment rights, but also for thehelpless animals that find themselvesin the confines of the Town ofHempstead Animal Shelter,” he saidin a news release.

But town spokesman MichaelDeery refuted this statement. “Thetownship is satisfied that the settle-ment of a legal case involving theshelter indicates no wrongdoing onthe part of the plaintiffs or the town,”he said in a prepared statement.

The action filed by Ms. Madden,Ms. Defina and Ms. Lucivero-Pelletier was to redress defamatorystatements made by the Town ofHempstead officials as well as viola-tions of the plaintiffs’ FirstAmendment constitutional rights, saidMr. Morelli.

Ms. Madden and Ms. DeFinadeclared at numerous Town Boardmeetings as well as to the press that

they believed there was a misuse oftaxpayer monies, and animal abuse atthe Hempstead Town Shelter.

“The Town of Hempstead AnimalShelter offers top-notch care for catsand dogs at its Wantagh facility,” saidMr. Deery.

“Indeed, reviews of the shelter havefound no mistreatment or neglect ofanimals. On the contrary, the HumaneSociety of the United States recentlyhonored shelter officials for thesuperlative care they provided to ani-mals who fell victim to HurricaneSandy.”

However, Mr. Morelli said a NewYork State audit confirmed the misuseof public funds and mismanagementof the Animal Shelter.

“Many problems still exist,” saidMs. DeFina.

“The absolute refusal on the part ofHempstead officials to allow publicoversight leaves us no choice but tocontinue our efforts to be the voicefor the animals,” explained Ms.Madden.

On the website of an advocacygroup called Hope for HempsteadShelter, that Ms. Madden and Ms.DeFina are involved in, is launching acampaign to privatize the town shel-ter.

In the meantime, the town says it“looks forward to continuing to pro-vide excellent care for animals at itsmunicipal shelter.”

When life imitates artMahatma Gandhi freed millions living in the

Indian subcontinent from British colonial rulethrough nonviolent protest. How fortunate wewere that American civil rights leader MartinLuther King Jr. took note and also chose nonvio-lent civil disobedience to fight for racial equality.It worked, and though the struggle cost lives, thechoice of nonviolent protest spared many more.

Ironically, Martin Luther King Jr. himself cameto a violent end, felled by an assassin’s bullet.

It would honor his name if this nation cancome together around the holiday of MartinLuther King Jr. Day and express our concernsabout gun violence.

Hollywood glorifies gun violence way toomuch. So do the video games our children andgrandchildren play. Those games dehumanize thevictims and make killing other human beings seemlike a sport. The problem starts when life imitatesart, and the fictional becomes reality as it does forsome with mental health problems.

We saw it happen at Columbine High School, atVirginia Tech, at an Aurora movie theatre, at theSandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,Connecticut. and most recently at a Californiahigh school. Just last week, a former student wasreported to have threatened to kill everybody atNorth Bellmore’s Mepham High School. That hitstoo close to home.

When are violent video games just a way of let-ting off steam, and when do they become some-thing more dangerous?

Confidential to those who want to make a differ-ence in honor of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.: Fromthe poem “Outwitted” by Edwin Markham: “Hedrew a circle that shut me out – Heretic, rebel, athing to flout. But Love and I had the wit to win.We drew a circle and took him in.”

HE’S AN EAGLE: Andrew Joseph Bloniarz of Wantagh was awarded his rank of Eagle Scoutfrom Wantagh's BSA Troop 656 at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor held at the WantaghAmerican Legion Post on Sunday, January 6. At the ceremony Hempstead Town Clerk MarkBonilla presented a Town of Hempstead Office of the Town Clerk Citation to Andrew for hisexceptional achievements while in Scouting and achieving his Eagle rank. With the EagleScout are his parents John and Barbara Bloniarz and his sister Natalie and brotherChristopher, county Comptroller George Maragos, county Legislator David Denenberg, TownClerk Bonilla and Wantagh Foundation Executive Director Ralph Spagnolo.

GEOGRAPHY BEE: The winner of this year’s contest, Charlie Mazzer, alongwith social studies teacher Steve Benner and Christopher Widmann, SocialStudies Department supervisor.

Geography Bee atWantagh Middle School

It was helpful to have a global under-standing of the globe and more at theWantagh Middle School GeographyBee last week.

Each year thousands of schools inthe United States participate in theNational Geographic Bee. The contestis designed to encourage teachers toinclude geography in their classrooms,spark student interest in the subject,and increase public awareness aboutgeography.

Preliminary contests were held in allof the social studies classes, with the topscorer from each class moving to thefinal. Thirty students from grades 6-8participated in the recent final.

The first rounds began with questionsconcerning the states in our country.

Then the queries broadened to includecontinents, physical characteristics ofgeography and knowledge of foreignlands. When students missed two ques-tions they were eliminated. As therounds progressed, the questions gottougher but seventh-grader CharlieMazzer prevailed and was declared win-ner of the tournament!

Charlie will now take a test that willbe sent to the National Geographicheadquarters in Washington, DC.Depending on his score, he may qualifyfor the New York State Bee that will beheld later this year in Albany.

Wantagh Middle School has had fourstudents qualify for the State Bee in thelast 10 years. Congratulations and goodluck Charlie, Wantagh is proud of you!

Fungal nails afflict many people ofvarying ages. It is an infection that leftuntreated may spread to all the toenailsand the adjacent skin. Many peoplefeel that improper hygiene leads todevelopment of this condition.

Actually onychomycosis is causedby distinct organisms and can be trans-mitted from person to person by usingunsterilized nail instruments or bywearing shoes from another personwho has the fungus.

Treatments for this condition includetopical medications, systemic medica-tions and now laser treatment. Thelaser is aimed at the fungus in the toe-nail and vaporizes it while leaving theadjacent skin unharmed.

The newest technology is the utiliza-tion of a cool laser. Most patients areable to grow out a regular appearingnail after just one laser treatment. Insome cases the laser treatment has to

Sandy volunteers gettreatment at Winthrop

Volunteers have travelled from acrossthe country to assist with Long Islandrelief efforts after Hurricane Sandy. TheTeam at the Winthrop ComprehensiveMultiple Sclerosis Care Center wasrecently given the opportunity to giveback to one such volunteer, 41-year-oldRobert Burcham of Tennessee.

Although Mr. Burcham suffers frommultiple sclerosis (MS), he hasn’t let itstop him from assisting victims of envi-ronmental disasters across the countryover the years. Mr. Burcham is an expertin his field – assessing damage to roofsthat are difficult for most people to getto. When Mr. Burcham had the opportu-nity to come to New York to help withHurricane Sandy relief efforts, he didn’tdelay, even though that meant he wouldbe missing his Tysabri Infusion – a ther-apy that he receives every 28 days toslow down the progression of MS.

“When I left Tennessee, I was alreadydue for another treatment, but I wantedto get out here to help, and then I was sobusy that I never made time to take careof myself,” he said.

After spending a month in New Yorkhelping others, Mr. Burcham called TheWinthrop Comprehensive MultipleSclerosis Care Center. Dr. Gottesmanand the center’s team worked to ensurethat Mr. Burcham could promptlyreceive the necessary treatment.

“We were eager to do anything we

could to help Mr. Burcham,” saidDenise Cheng, RN, who was instrumen-tal in coordinating Mr. Burcham’s treat-ment. “During the process, I was privi-leged to get to know Mr. Burcham – heis a remarkable man who lives his life tothe fullest.”

“From the very first time I met Dr.Gottesman, I felt confident that I was ingood hands,” Mr. Burcham said. Afterreceiving the infusion, Mr. Burchamimmediately was able to travel to hisnext appointment assessing roof damageon Long Island homes.

The Winthrop ComprehensiveMultiple Sclerosis Care Center has beenrecognized by the National MS Societysince 2000 as a center for comprehen-sive care, providing services thataddress the varied and often complexissues related to living with MS.

With a multidisciplinary and human-istic approach to treatment and care, theCenter offers a variety of services,including clinically proven medicationtherapies; an Onsite Infusion Center; areferral network for appropriate special-ty services; and support groups. TheCenter is also involved in many ongoingclinical research trials, including partic-ipation in the New York State MSConsortium since 1997.

Violence in schools – addressing a fact of lifeby Laura Schofer

One of the earliest recorded incidentsof violence in a primary school tookplace in Franklin County, Pennsylvania,on July 26, 1764 when four Lenape war-riors shot and scalped 11 children in aschoolhouse.

Historically, most incidents of schoolviolence were one-on-one encounterssuch as the shooting of one teenage boyby another boy in a washroom ofMassapequa High School in 1958.

But the climate changed in April of1999 when Eric David Harris and DylanBennett Klebold walked into ColumbineHigh School in Littleton, Colorado,armed with multiple guns and explo-sives and killed 12 students, one teacherand injured 21 more students beforecommitting suicide.

“This was a game changer,” saidNassau County Police Sergeant KevinMcCarthy, after playing a recording ofthe 911 call of that incident to a group ofschool and other public officials whoattended a Shooter Awareness Seminar atAdelphi University last week. The pro-gram, given by the Nassau County PoliceDepartment, was aimed at ensuring pub-lic safety in our schools, libraries, hospi-tals and other public places.

The goal of the seminar was to ensurepublic safety by coordinating the coun-ty’s protocols.

“The other incident that helped tochange police tactics was the VirginiaTech massacre,” said SergeantMcCarthy. “April seems to be a trig-ger month, something about Hitler’sbirthday.”

In a self-made video recording by

Seung-Hui Cho to the media, he refersto the Columbine incident as one of hismotivations.

“We have learned a lot of what weshould do in such instances,” SergeantMcCarthy explained.

Prior to Columbine and Virginia Tech,police followed the traditional tactics ofsurrounding a building, setting up aperimeter and containing damage. Butthe profile of these active shooters indi-cate they are not looking to be capturedand will commit suicide.

Therefore, the police have changedtheir tactics and now have a plan inplace to neutralize the shooter as quick-ly as possible. The sensitive nature ofseminar as well as for the protection andwell-being of our children, this articlewill not go into detail.

Sergeant Michael Savino, represent-ing the Nassau County police academy,added that “the department has trained“2,400 members as well as working withschools and other public officials” tohelp keep the public safe from activeshooters.

Nassau Police Chief Steven Skryneckidefined an active shooter as someonewho has used deadly physical force onother persons and continues to do dowhile having unrestricted access to addi-tional victims. This could include dead-ly physical force by means of a gun,knife or other weapons.

Chief Skrynecki added that the inci-dents of targeted violence at school wererarely sudden impulsive acts. “This per-son is usually male, maladjusted andisolated,” said Chief Skrynecki.

Sergeant Savino said this individual isalso “heavily armed – as if he is playing

a violent video game, and may be pre-pared for sustained engagement. He isusually familiar with the facility.”

Sergeant Savino played a police train-ing video for audience members andtold them, “you need to be prepared soyou know our intentions and how tointeract with us.”

“We are coming and we know what todo,” said Sergeant McCarthy. “We areprepared and you must be prepared aswell,” he told the audience.

Have a plan, know the plan andenact the plan

Detective Sergeant William Leahy ofHomeland Security told audience mem-bers that “the social reality has changed.You must look at your facilities andevaluate it. Conduct a hazard and riskassessment; identify areas of improve-ment. What upgrades and repairs need tobe made? Identify areas for personneltraining. The key is to take offenders offtarget,” he said.

“Remember that offenders learn fromeach other, so what’s next? Think out ofthe box because he is thinking out of thebox.”

To address issues of school safety andviolence prevention, the Safe SchoolsAgainst Violence in Education Act(Project SAVE) was passed by the stateLegislature and signed into law on July24, 2000. Project SAVE provides teach-ers and other school personnel opportu-nities to be involved in the developmentof school district policies and proce-dures relating to safe schools, said thewebsite NYSUT.

Each school district must have dis-trictwide safety plans, building-level

emergency response plans and codes ofconduct for students that must bereviewed and revised, if necessary, on anannual basis.

Project SAVE also provides for othersafety measures including uniformreporting of violent incidents in schools,fingerprinting and criminal historybackground checks of school district jobapplicants prior to hiring and childabuse reporting requirements.

In Wantagh and SeafordGeneral information about school

security is available on each dis-trict’s website.

In an open letter to the public found onthe Wantagh School District’s website,Acting Superintendent MaureenGoldberg wrote after the Newtown,Connecticut, shooting that “Mr. Abrams,our director of facilities and I visitedevery school and personally reviewedsecurity procedures with appropriate staff.

“Situations like these give us cause toreflect on our own practices and proce-dures as we look toward providing thesafest environment for our students. Ourdistrict has comprehensive plans inplace for each school which have beenshared with local law enforcement.Routine safety drills are conducted withlockdown plans readily available withinclassrooms.

“Our three elementary schools areequipped with electronic door-entry sys-tems and our secondary schools havesecurity personnel assigned to mainentranceways. In addition, at the sec-ondary level, teachers are assigned tohall duties throughout the day which

Red ribbons at Seaford schoolsThrough a series of themes from “crazy

sock day” to wearing “all red,” students inthe Seaford School District showed theirsupport for the national prevention aware-ness campaign Red Ribbon Week andpledged to lead healthy lifestyles void oftobacco, alcohol and drugs.

At the Middle School, Red Ribbonactivities focused on the theme, “I Elect tobe Drug Free.” Students wore red, whiteand blue to show the spirit of an electionyear while displaying their choice to stayaway from drugs.

Throughout the week, students alsowore jeans for “I’m a Jean-I-Us-I’m DrugFree” day, crazy hats for “Put a Cap onDrugs” and sweats for “Staying Drug Freeis No Sweat” day.

They signed pledges to be drug-free thathung on huge red ribbons in the cafeteria.And, club members from Students AgainstDestructive Decisions (SADD) made

posters and broadcast daily morningannouncements with a fact or statisticabout alcohol and other drugs.

Activities at both the Harbor and ManorElementary Schools centered on safety andhow to make good choices. Age-appropri-ate lessons, reinforced with puppets andsongs, were delivered by the Child AbusePrevention Services, the Nassau CountyPolice Department and the Long IslandCouncil on Alcoholism and DrugDependence.

Topics such as, “Cybersmartz,” how to“Steer Clear of Bullies” and “Too Good forDrugs” were presented. Teachers per-formed a puppet show for third and fourthgraders called “Nic and Friends,” to illus-trate the dangers of cigarettes and alcohol.

At Manor Elementary School, studentsalso planted red tulip bulbs as a symbol ofmaking good choices and leading healthylifestyles.

SMS students named to NJHSFifty-seven Seaford Middle School stu-

dents with strong academic and civic prom-ise were inducted in National Junior HonorSociety. The number reflects an upwardtrend in membership in recent years, from 24in 2011 to 46 last year.

“Induction into National Junior HonorSociety defines students as hardworking,dedicated learners who are committed totheir school and community,” said SeafordSchools Superintendent Brian Conboy.“This is one milestone in what is sure to bemany in the lives of these outstanding stu-dents.”

Those selected for membership must havea grade-point average of 90 or above andpossess scholarship, service leadership,character and citizenship. As members, eachstudent is required to complete six or moreservice hours per month while maintaining a90+ average. Congratulations to ChristianAlfano, Nicole Anastasiou, Joseph Aquino,
