Bellmore Life 2.28.13

by Laura Schofer

The Nassau County Legislature willhold a public hearing on Monday,February 25, at 10 a.m. to allow for publiccomment on a proposed map that willdetermine new legislative districts.

If the newly drawn lines remain,Legislator Dave Denenberg, the Bellmoresand Merricks representative in the 19thLegislative District for the last 14 years,could lose his seat.

The process, called redistricting, refersto redrawing legislative districts to reflectchanging population as revealed in the lat-est census. Maps are required to beredrawn every 10 years.

The proposed map passed by the legisla-ture’s Rules Committee last week was anamended version of the Republican mapfirst unveiled to the public early last monthat the Nassau County temporary redistrict-ing commission hearing.

The Rules Committee voted along partylines 4-3 for the amended Republican mapwhich, if approved, will move about359,173 voters out of their present legisla-tive district.

However, a previous map proposed bythe Republican delegation would havemoved roughly 600,000 residents.

While the new proposed map restoressome legislative districts, including theGreat Neck Peninsula, residents inBellmore and Merrick will remain in twolegislative districts – Legislative District13, represented by Norma Gonsalves andLegislative District 19, which would haveno incumbent if the proposed plan goesthrough. Presently, Legislator DavidDenenberg of Merrick representsLegislative District 19.

In Bellmore and MerrickVoters who live north of Jerusalem

Avenue in North Bellmore and North

Merrick will be in LegislativeDistrict 13, represented by LegislativePresiding Officer Norma Gonsalves.The rest of Bellmore’s and Merrick’svoters will be in Legislative District19, along with residents of central andsouth Wantagh and Freeport.

The newly proposed Legislative District19 has no incumbent. The formerLegislative District 19 was represented byLegislator David Denenberg. However, asmall piece of central Merrick, where Mr.Denenberg lives, has been drawn into thenewly proposed Legislative District 5, nowrepresented by Joseph Scannell.

Winners and losersThe proposed new map places three sets

of legislators into the same district. Two ofthese districts have Democratic incum-bents – Mr. Denenberg and Mr. Scannell,here on the South Shore; DemocratsWayne Wink and Delia DeReggi-Whitton

in northern Nassau County, andRepublicans Joseph Belesi and MichaelVenditto in southeastern Nassau County.

More than 30 people signed up to speakat last week’s Rules Committee hearingaccording to Jessica Tauber, DavidDenenberg’s Chief of Staff.

Members of the Nassau UnitedRedistricting Coalition, a group of nonpar-tisan community groups, spoke against theplan and raised concerns about the disen-franchisement of minority communities.

Peter Rosenthal, a member of theLeague of Women Voters and the NassauUnited Redistricting Coalition, said, “Themap being proposed here today is a kalei-doscope of colors with only one true pur-pose – to rig the electoral process by pack-ing members of one party in NassauCounty into as few districts as possible.

“It seeks to crush democracy under thepower of one political party for the next

Jack Skelly: Bellmore memories – and the origin of JES Printing

by Krista Giannek

Born in 1935, Jack Skelly grew up onWallace Avenue in North Bellmore. Heattended St. Barnabas, now calledElizabeth Ann Seton School, a Catholicschool for students from first-eighthgrade. He lived his early childhoodyears during World War II – when hesaid there were only about 4,000 peoplein the Bellmores, and the land south ofMerrick Road was mostly marshland.“When I grew up, the address was 12.Now, it’s 2729,” he said.

“My graduating class was 63 kidsand one nun,” Mr. Skelly said. “When Iwent to school in the ’40s, if the nun hityou, you didn’t go home and tell yourparents, ‘cause the nun was alwaysright, even if she wasn’t.” He contrast-ed this with today’s “sue nation.”

Mr. Skelly’s childhood experienceswere those of a boy growing up in thecountry. For example, he told a story ofa man named Mr. Browning who want-ed to “build his new wife a castle” andended up building a lake on the cornerof Beltagh and Mill Road. “In the sum-mer we swam, and in the winter, it wasiced over and we ice skated,” Mr.Skelly said.

The ‘Itch’At that time, Mr. Skelly recalled,

there was one bank in town:Bellmore Bank. There was also onemovie theater in town: BellmoreMovies. He paid 10 cents with a two-cent war tax, and the Saturdaymovies were an afternoon event.“You went in at one, you got out atfive, and your mother was happy as alark,” he said.

The local kids called BellmoreMovies “The Itch” because of theowner’s bulldog: “He must have had alot of fleas. Every once in a while if yousat in the wrong chair, you did a lot ofscratching.”

When Mr. Skelly was around 10 or 11,he wanted to learn to drive. At a timewhere most people had a coal stoverather than a burner, his father made adeal with him: “If I helped [my father]bring the ashes over to the dump, hewould drive there, and I could drive thecar home.”

In Bellmore’s rural days when moth-ers walked to the supermarket, Mr.Skelly said, “We didn’t have traffic likewe have today. Roads were generallynot very busy.”

Mr. Skelly also recalled huntingand fishing with friends as a kid. Heremembered fixing up an old rowboat“so it didn’t sink,” and fishing forclams, crabs and other fish. He andhis friends found a great market forclams among the many people whodid not eat meat on Fridays. At aboutage 14, when he got a huntinglicense, he hunted small game about50 to 100 feet south of Merrick Road.He still fishes today with long-timefriends.

Dawn of the printing pressMr. Skelly started working at age 12

for a local Bellmore florist on theweekends. While still in “grammarschool,” his class went on a tour of U.S.Printing on the corner of Old CountryRoad and Glen Cove Road, calledGuinea Woods Road at the time. “I wasfascinated, and for some reason, it

always stuck with me.”While in high school, Mr. Skelly said

he used his own money to buy a print-ing press in Manhattan. “We haggledfor about half a day. The price wasfine, but I had to convince them to takeit all apart, bring it out to Long Island,and… put it back together in my moth-er’s and father’s cellar,” he said.

Around this time, a friend’s fatherworked for a commercial paper sup-plier on Long Island, and they decid-ed to make money by printing thenames of local delis on the lids ofstandard containers.

“Nobody was doing it that I knew of.The lids were all clear. It was inexpen-sive advertising for them,” Mr. Skellyexplained. He attended the ManhattanSchool of Printing after high school,while still doing the project.

`In 1959, Mr. Skelly started a printingshop called JES Printing. His wife,

Valerie, worked in the office, while heworked on production. They trustedeach other to “do the right thing at theright time,” he said. “It’s a trust thing.That’s why we’ve been married 54years.”

In 1995 at age 60, Mr. Skelly sold a

large part of the printing press. He con-tinued working there until 2000, whenhe sold the rest of the business andretired at 65.

“I really liked what I was doing… Itwas like I was playing with toys everyday,” he said.

It’s Black History MonthBlack History Month is halfway over, but it is not

too late to stop and reflect on the achievements ofAfrican Americans, who have contributed so muchmore to American culture, economy and indeed ournational identity than their numbers would indicate. Infact, the African American heritage is shared by allAmericans.

Did you know there was a fort north of St. Augustine,Florida, called Fort Moses where beginning in 1687many slaves from the British colonies escaped to thefirst free community of ex-slaves in what is now theUnited States?

Have you heard about the “Underground Railroad”?This route of “safe houses” led from states where slav-ery ruled north to Canada. Part of this route was rightthrough the Bellmores. New York City had the largestnumber of slaves after Charleston, South Carolina, andthe Quakers in Westbury were among the first to speakout against slavery.

Many Long Islanders fought in the Civil War whichresulted in freedom for African American slaves.

Freeporter Ed Monroe was among the TuskegeeAirmen, the all-black fighter group who served withdistinction starting during World War II.

The Freedom Riders, who traveled to the deep Southto demonstrate for civil rights for African Americans,included many Long Islanders. Civil rights demonstra-tors also lost their lives in Freeport.

Jackie Robinson was the first African American toplay for a major league baseball team, the BrooklynDodgers.

Hale Smith of Freeport was a legendary composerwho helped shape American jazz.

Freeporter Fred Brewington won a one-man one-vote case that replaced the at-large Hempstead TownBoard with district representatives. One of the plain-tiffs, Dorothy Goosby still serves with distinction asone of those town board members.

Andrew Hardwick is the first African Americanmayor of Freeport.

And, of course, our recently re-elected PresidentBarack Obama is an African American. Almost every-one can remember what they were doing the day he firsttook office, a proud moment in American history.

Kudos to HempsteadTown for plowing

To Bellmore Life:A great big thank you and job well

done to the Town of Hempstead for thegreat job they did in clearing the snow

from our street. By 10 a.m. the plowswere through the terciary street, leav-ing them free and clear of snow. Inever thought I would see them so fast.

As soon as the plows left our streetspristine, the homeowners and the“landscape” workers came out withtheir shovels and snowblowers. Theymoved the snow from their drivewaysand walks back into the middle of thestreets, which will create dangerousconditions and negate the fine work ofthe sanitation department. Where isyour civic responsibility and considera-tion for your neighbors? Shame on you.

But Francis Moroney, Republican spokesman for the proposedplan, told Bellmore Life the final map was very much like the map“they [Nassau United Redistricting Coalition] submitted. I guess ithas to do with pride of ownership,” said Mr. Moroney.

“Clearly [they] have not analyzed the map,” he said, referring toaccusations of violating the Voting Rights Act. “There is only asmall deviation of 4.8%, not nearly as much as their map, which hada deviation of 9.85% and pools people into certain districts.”

But some people remain unhappy. Legislators Norma Gonsalves,Howard Kopel, Dennis Dunne and Rose Marie Walker, allRepublicans, voted in favor of the map; Kevan Abrahams, JudyJacobs and Wayne Wink voted against the map.

After the Rules Committee voted, a number of residents stood upand sang “We Shall Overcome.”

On Legislator Denenberg’s Facebook page, resident LindaKaplan expressed outrage over the new map that could displace Mr.Denenberg from his district. “If you can’t win an election on yourmerit then you do something to steal it the next time. Redistrictingso that voters become disenfranchised is odious,” she wrote. “Weshould sue all the way to the Supreme Court. Our civil rights arebeing violated.”

However, Mr. Moroney has repeatedly said the map was drawn“blind to incumbency.”

The full Legislature must vote on the map no later than Tuesday,March 5. The February 25 hearing is the last time residents will havean opportunity to voice their opinions on the map.

There are 10 Republicans and nine Democrats. A simple major-ity is needed to pass the new proposal.

Healthy feet are important for feelinggood and staying active. When we thinkabout exercise, we tend to leave our feetout of the equation. However, when itcomes down to it, healthy feet are essen-tial to enjoying an active lifestyle.

There is nothing more discouraging tostaying active than painful feet. TheAmerican Podiatric Medical Associationestimates that approximately 75% of allAmericans will experience some type offoot problem during their life.

This alone is enough reason to payspecial attention to the health of yourfeet. But on top of that, our feet con-tain 25% of the bones in our body,along with 33 joints, to help us move

and keep our balance. Regular exer-cise can help you remain mobile, alle-viate stiffness in the joints andimprove your balance.

It is common that problems in our feetcan lead to other problems in the body,such as knee, back and hip problems.Unhealthy feet can also cause emotionalstresses and changes in adrenal stress,blood sugar, fatigue and many others.

As a result, when you have foot prob-lems you are less inclined to enjoy stay-ing active. Inactivity and a lack of exer-cise can lead to many serious healthissues, which can simply be avoided. Ifyou want to keep your body healthy, youneed to pay attention to your feet.

Keeping your feet healthy is not hard.There are many things you can do tokeep them pain-free. First and foremost,

healthy feet start with proper hygiene.Thoroughly cleaning your feet and dry-ing them well is key. Fungal organismsthrive in moist areas, so making sureyour feet are dry, especially in betweenyour toes, makes it more difficult forthose organisms to prosper.

Examining your feet often forchanges in color, texture or appearancecould increase your chances of catch-ing a problem before it gets worse.Daily examinations are especiallyimportant for diabetics, because theyare at a higher risk for sores and infec-tions.

Properly cutting your toenails straightacross and never cutting into cornershelps prevent painful ingrown toenails,which could lead to infection. Mostimportantly, do not ignore foot pain.

Pain is a way for your body to tell yousomething is wrong, and ignoring it willonly prolong and worsen the issue.

Appropriate foot care helps to encour-age keeping activity levels high, whichlead to a healthier you. Foot problemsmake it more difficult to stay active.

The Board Certified podiatrists atLivingston Foot Care Specialists canhelp with all foot problems. If you areexperiencing symptoms such as painfulbunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, plan-tar fasciitis, diabetes, redness, swelling,fungal toenails and many others, callLivingston Foot Care Specialists for anappointment, at 826-0103.

The doctors at Livingston Foot CareSpecialists, 1685 Newbridge Road,North Bellmore, are there to help you bethe healthiest you can be.

place from 9-11 a.m. at the YMCA inGlen Cove, 125 Dosoris Lane.

In addition, a diabetes managementpresentation with blood and urine testswill be done at 12:30 p.m. at the TowerConference Room at North ShoreUniversity Hospital, 300 CommunityDrive, Manhasset.

• Monday, March 18: The RaggioInstitute will present the “Diabetes andKidney Disease” program for GlenCove Hospital’s diabetes club at noon.Urine screenings will be done after theprogram at Glen Cove Hospital’sMaxwell Boardroom, 101 St. AndrewsLane.

• Wednesday, March 20 (Healthfair): There will be a question-and-answer session from 3-7 p.m. at theRaggio Nephrology Institute, 100Community Drive, Great Neck, wherepeople can speak with a range of med-ical professionals, including dieticians,hemodialysis nurses, social workers,transplant coordinators, certified dia-betes educators and nephrologists abouttheir kidney health concerns.

Bilingual staff will be able to answerquestions in Spanish, Korean, Chineseand Hindu. There will also be bloodpressure and urine screenings. From 7-8 p.m., there will be a workshop entitled“How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy.”

Chiropractic benefits before (and after) pregnancyby Barbara Rosinsky, D.C.

Even if you’ve never visited a chiro-practor before, for any reason, preg-nancy may be a good time to start!Here’s why:

The most common ailment of pregnan-cy is lower back pain. Many women seekchiropractic care to relieve neck or backpain that can result from weight gain andaltered bio-mechanics during pregnancy.

A woman gains an average of 25pounds during pregnancy and as thepregnancy progresses, the size of the

uterus causes the center of gravity toshift. In an effort to compensate for aheavier abdomen, the shoulders arethrown backward, placing additionalpressure on the lower back.

Ligaments connect the uterus to thelower back and groin; as the babygrows these stretch and can causepain. The pelvis is that bone-likestructure through which the babypasses during the birth process.

For the body to make room for the pas-sage of the baby, the body releases a spe-cial hormone, helping the ligaments in

the pelvis to stretch. After the birth, thebody’s ligaments will retighten.

Therefore, it is essential that thebody is in proper alignment as theseligaments return to their pre-pregnan-cy state. This will help prevent themother from having back pain longafter the pregnancy is over.

Although your level of pain may vary,you will benefit from visiting a chiro-practor. Chiropractic care during preg-nancy maintains, and can even improve,balance and alignment in your spine andpelvis. This may help your baby assume

an optimal birthing position and mayreduce the risk of having a breech baby.

Regular chiropractic care can alsoprovide a more comfortable pregnancyand delivery for both mother and baby.It stimulates the nervous system toenable proper functioning of yourreproductive organs, thus supportingthe needs of your baby throughout preg-nancy and during delivery.

Dr. Rosinsky may be reached throughWantagh Woods Chiropractic &Wellness, 1705 Wantagh Avenue,Wantagh. Call 783-0088.
