Proposed county laws could help retrieve homeowner fundsLegislator Dave Denenberg (D-

Merrick) is looking to introduce newcounty legislation to help residentsstruggling to pay for repairs to theirhomes following superstorm Sandy.

Last week he announced he has intro-duced two new bills that would poten-tially help release much-needed fundsfrom insurance companies, banks ormortgage lenders who have delayedpayment to Nassau residents having ahard time paying for heat, electricity andconstruction.

Homeowners are forced to dip intotheir savings accounts because insur-ance companies and banks are holdingup the process by delaying payment andmisinforming their customers, he said.

With these two bills, LegislatorDenenberg and Democratic legislatorshopeful that Sandy victims can receivethe money they need to rebuild theirhomes and find some sort of normalcyrestored to their lives.

Withholding rightful funds“It is unconscionable that insurance

companies and banks are withholdingmoney their customers rightfullydeserve,” said Legislator Denenberg.

“The money belongs in the people’shands. It’s time for them to pay up sothat Sandy victims can continue gettingtheir lives back on track.”

The first bill Legislator Denenbergand the Democratic caucus supportwould amend the County AdministrativeCode regarding Unfair Trade Practicesto provide a more speedy approval ofinsurance claims, as carriers are suspect-

ed of purposefully delaying and denyingpayment to customers in need, he said.

Under this law, if the insurer wrong-fully denies a valid claim, fails toanswer a claim within 30 days or delayspayment without providing reason fordoing so, they will be fined and subjectto lawsuit by the county attorney.

The insurance company would also beliable for the customer’s full insurance pay-ment, plus interest, as well as reimburse-ment of other subsequent damages includ-ing (but not limited to) emotional distress,property damage and attorney’s fees.

The second would require banks topromptly release homeowners’ insurancepayments in the event of a major disaster.This would ensure that once the moneyis released, customers would receivetheir payment in a reasonable amount oftime – not several weeks or months.

Historically, banks or lending institu-tions that hold the mortgage on a homeare considered “part owner.” Any insur-ance claim that is paid out for damagesmust be signed off by the homeownerand bank or lending institution thatholds the mortgage.

Numerous complaints from residentsstate that bank delays and burdensomerequirements have delayed their abilityto move forward with necessary homerepairs. This also affects local business-es and contractors, too, since they arerelying on rebuilding Nassau County tohelp them recover the business they lostas a result of Sandy.

Insurance experts who blog on insur-ance websites have told Bellmore Lifethat insurers have paid a majority of the

claims based on personal coverage,explaining that is where homeownersget cash to get started.

But the specific federal flood insuranceclaim requires a lengthier analysis of dam-age, and all those analyses then must go tothe federal government for action.

Common understanding within the indus-try is that if a comprehensive flood analysisis done at a first visit, homeowners wouldnot get money to start for some time.

“We don’t need anymore red tape orgovernmental layers in an already labor-intensive paper process,” said one agent.

It was noted that some homeowners havealso taken upfront monies and fled the area,making security an issue for banks whohold mortgages on those homes.

Jurisdiction over banks?Brian Nevin, spokesman for Nassau

County Exectuve Edward P. Mangano,told Bellmore Life that “Obviously, wewould support anything that could help ourresidents get access to their funds so that

they could quickly get on with the work ofrebuilding their homes.”

But he added that “we also know wedon’t have any authority over banks, it isboth a state and federal issue. If we can getthat authority over the banks, any legislationmight work.”

Frank Moroney, director of communicationsfor the Republican Majority Legislative cau-cus, said, “The threshold is whether or notenforcement rests with the county. It is athoughtful remedy that is worth looking at.However, the mechanism already existsunder the [state] attorney general’s office.Nassau County does not have a bankingdepartment; it does not have an insurancedepartment. This is not to devalue the pro-posal. Sometimes you have to make a pro-posal in order to catch people’s attention.”

With 140 Nassau County house-holds still relying on the FederalEmergency Management Agency’sTransitional Sheltering Assistance(TSA) program, the agency – at therequest of the State of New York –has approved a 21-day extension tothe TSA program, which allows eli-gible survivors from superstormSandy who cannot return to theirhomes to stay in participating hotels.

The new checkout date for those inthe TSA program is Sunday, April14. FEMA is calling applicants eli-gible for the extension to notifythem of the new checkout date.

The temporary TSA programallows eligible superstorm Sandysurvivors whose houses have beenseverely damaged or destroyed tostay in a hotel for a limited time.The cost of the room and taxes arepaid directly to the hotel by FEMA.

The extension was approved tohelp those applicants still eligible forthe program to remain in hotels as

FEMA and its state and local part-ners work to identify longer-termhousing solutions. All TSA appli-cants staying in hotels are evaluatedfor continued eligibility.

FEMA continues to work in coor-dination with state, local and volun-tary agency partners to assist appli-cants through outreach and compre-hensive casework to identify andtransition them to more suitabletemporary or long-term housing.

Meals, telephone calls and otherincidental charges are not covered,and applicants are responsible forany lodging costs above the author-ized allowance. The program doesnot reimburse previously incurredhotel expenses.

While there were 18 county regis-trants as of March 21 registering forFEMA assistance for the first time –and eight on March 20 – the dead-line for registering for FEMA assis-tance is still this Friday, March 29,at 6 p.m. – D. Finlay

More than a numberThe SAT tests, for which college-bound students spend their

entire education K-12 preparing, have been scientificallydesigned to determine how well they will do at the university.Educators say if they have a good math background and havedone a lot of reading of literature, history and current events(newspapers and news magazines) they should do well.

Yet in an ever-more competitive society, so many take the testtaking strategy courses that promise to increase scores that nottaking one may be a disadvantage. Others spend hours memoriz-ing the vocabulary that commonly appears on the test. But at leastthey do not start in grade school.

However, a new trend applying business principles to educa-tion, measuring outcome by test results, has created a monster,because now elementary school children are being tested on whatthey could not possibly know, then taught it and then tested againjust to provide these measurements of teacher effectiveness, apolicy which totally lacks common sense and can be very dis-couraging to the children. If they react by giving up in despair,we lose. If they react by treating the tests as a joke, we lose too.

When teachers are forced to “teach to the test” they will beproducing classrooms full of students who resemble sausages,all the same.

They will not be nurturing individual talents. They will not beseizing “teachable moments” that come when children expresstheir natural curiosity about a topic, and are open and excitedabout learning it. That moment is not easily recaptured.

What kind of classroom do you want for your child? Youhave the opportunity to hear what local educators are sayingabout it soon.

Wantagh Elementary School Principal Dr. Don Sternbergwill be among the panelists at a conference titled “More than aNumber: How State Testing is Affecting the Educational andEmotional Health of Students,” on Wednesday, April 10, from7- 9 p.m. at Hofstra University’s Adams Playhouse inHempstead.

Calhoun High School’s SADD(Students Against DestructiveDecisions) club hosted its annualHealth Fair on Friday, encouragingstudents and staff to commit to ahealthier lifestyle.

The Calhoun gymnasium was filledwall-to-wall with stations for studentsto try health-food options, differentexercises and activities, and learnabout their health.

Local businesses also donated theirtime to the fair, such as Vanity HairSalon – which is giving away a prompackage for a lucky high school studentwho wins its raffle – and local cosme-tology places such as European Wax.

Popular eatery Souper Fry had a tablewhere it gave out free soup samples,and Professionals Athletic Center washelping measure students’ jumping

abilities with a special measuring tool. Other vendors included Cross Fit,

Synergy, La Mystika, Swirlz World,Olga’s Hair Salon and Hope Fitness.

Student-run stations included rhythmgaming areas for students to play phys-ical games such as “Just Dance,” whichshows how video gaming can be funexercise, and a make-your-own fruitsalad and oatmeal station.

Alongside physical health stationsshowing at the fair, there were mentaland emotional health stations as well.

A mind-teaser game was set up abooth, as well as a Gay-StraightAlliance booth run by the members ofthe GSA club at Calhoun.

Periodically throughout the day, agroup of student dancers would gatherin the middle of the gym and leadeveryone at the fair in Zumba, a popu-lar dancercise sweeping the nation.

“We brought in some new vendors,”

said Keri Cinelli, the health teacher incharge of SADD and the Health Fair,“and we added some new stations forwomen’s health, but we kept most of itthe way it’s traditionally been.”

With everything from drunk-drivingsimulators at the Community ParentCenter booth to professional massages,the SADD Health Fair has once againpromoted health and wellness in all itsdifferent forms.

Jacob Derwin is a Bellmore Lifeintern from Calhoun’s SeniorExperience program.

SEPTA to meet on future benefits preparationFor parents of children with special

needs, the future can hold much uncertainty.Autism and other developmental disabilitiesare on the rise, meaning that a growingnumber of children will require lifelongcare.

In light of the deep cuts made to specialneeds funding at state and federal levels, it’simportant that families properly prepare forthe future. Parents cannot rely on govern-ment aid alone to provide for their children’swell-being, and expert advice has become

crucial to safeguarding assets and benefits.On Thursday, April 25, at 8 p.m. the

Bellmore-Merrick Central High SchoolDistrict, in conjunction with Bellmore-Merrick SEPTA and Community ParentCenter (CPC), will host the workshop Howto protect your child legally and financially,offered by Andrew Cohen, Esq. and MitchWeisbrot, CLU, that addresses eligibility forgovernment benefits, guardianship, estateplanning and supplemental needs trusts.

Mr. Cohen and Mr. Weisbrot are fathers

of children with disabilities who frequentlylecture together on the subject of disabilities.In addition to being a member of the NewYork State Bar Association, Mr. Cohen is acharter member of the Academy of SpecialNeeds Planners and received ExceptionalParent magazine’s Maxwell J. SchleiferDistinguished Service Award at Citi Field inMay 2010.

Mr. Weisbrot is a charter member ofNorthwestern Mutual’s Special StepsProgram and a member of Sid Jacobson

Jewish Community Center’s Special NeedsAdvisory Committee.

The seminar, How to protect your childlegally and financially, will be held in theB169 room at Calhoun High School, 1786State Street, Merrick. For information, callCheryl Gitlitz, LCSW, at 992-1349.

To learn about the speakers, you can visitwww.amcohenlaw.com and www.mitch-weisbrot.com.

Woman sentenced in ex-husband’s death A North Bellmore woman was sen-

tenced to seven years in prison afterpleading guilty to stabbing her ex-husband to death during an argumentin November 2011, and then dumpinghis body on the Wantagh bike trail.

Nancy Boland, 57, pleaded guilty toevery charge against her in January,including to Manslaughter, AggravatedCriminal Contempt, CriminalContempt, three counts of TamperingWith Physical Evidence, and CriminalPossession of a Weapon. The DA’soffice recommended a 12-year prisonsentence at the time of her plea.

Nassau County District AttorneyKathleen Rice said that in the lateevening of November 16, 2011, Ms.Boland and her ex-husband, WalterBoland, with whom she still lived onWaltoffer Avenue, got into an argu-ment that escalated when she allegedthat he threatened her with a sharp-bladed instrument.

Ms. Boland said that she grabbed itout his hand and stabbed him with itonce in the abdomen, driving itupward and four inches deep.

Ms. Boland, against whom her ex-husband had a valid order of protection,

told police that he refused to be taken tothe hospital, and that she left him athome to go to work the following day.

When she returned home, she foundthe victim unresponsive. After dress-ing him and attempting to feed him,she concluded that he was dead butwaited until after dark to drag hisbody to her mother’s car. She dumpedhis body on the Wantagh StateParkway bike path north of SunriseHighway, where it was found by ajogger in the early morning ofNovember 18, 2011.

After stabbing the victim, Ms.

Boland told family, friends and co-workers that he had stormed off afteran argument and hadn’t returned.When his body was discovered, shetold them that she was worried itmight be her ex-husband.

“This was not self-defense and itwas no accident. Nancy Boland killedher ex-husband, dumped his body onthe side of the road, and then lied toanyone who asked,” Ms. Rice said.

“No matter how thoroughly sheattempted to cover her tracks, shecould not hide from what she haddone,” the DA concluded.

Nassau County InspectorKenneth Lack told Bellmore Lifeand other reporters gathered out-side 202 Leonard Street, NorthBellmore, that Mr. Stanco shot hiswife Carolina with a rifle beforeturning the gun on himself.

Detective Lieutenant JohnAzzata, commanding officer of thepolice department’s HomicideSquad, told Bellmore Life that

interviews with people who knewthe couple revealed that Mr.Stanco may have been sufferingfrom hallucinations, such as peo-ple following him.

It could not be acertained bypress time if Mr. Stanco was pre-scribed medication to resolve thehallucinations, or whether anymedication at all had been pre-scribed. It could not be learned ifMr. Stanco suffered from halluci-nations before.

Det. Lt. Azzata confirmed thatthe couple had had dinner withtheir children – their son as well asa daughter – the night before themurder-suicide. 202 LEONARD STREET was the scene of a fatal shooting.

ifeMan convicted of North Bellmore home invasion

A jury has convicted Carlos Segura,30, of Brooklyn of burglary, robberyand assault for his role in a violenthome invasion in North Bellmore,Nassau County District AttorneyKathleen Rice announced.

Mr. Segura was convicted of sixcounts of Robbery, four counts ofBurglary, two counts of Assault, threecounts of Unlawful Imprisonment,and Escape. He faces up to 25 years inprison at his May 7 sentencing.

DA Rice said that at approximately8:30 a.m. on September 19, 2011,Segura and two other men, GustavoArroyo and Eduardo Cruz, exited avehicle being driven by DarioGuerrero and approached a NorthBellmore home.

Mr. Cruz entered the home through

the unlocked front door and beganbeating a female resident before sig-naling to Mr. Segura and Mr. Arroyo tocome inside. Mr. Segura, armed with agun, and Mr. Cruz and Mr. Arroyo,both armed with knives, tied up threeresidents of the home and began tosearch for money. A fourth residentwho lived in the home’s basement wasalso tied up before having his cellphone and $350 stolen from him.

During the course of the robbery amale resident of the home, who hadbeen out during the robbery, returnedhome. When he attempted to open thefront door, Mr. Arroyo grabbed himand tried to pull him inside. The maleresident broke free of Mr. Arroyo andran from the house into the streetscreaming for help.

The three defendants fled the houseand got into the waiting car beingdriven by Mr. Guerrero. BellmoreLife reported that a good Samaritancalled police to provide details of thecar while following it. Nassau Countypolice officers then were able to pickup the fleeing car driving eastboundon Merrick Road into Merrick.

Upon stopping the vehicle onBabylon Road near Merrick Road, anofficer ordered all four men out of thecar and then attempted to arrest Mr.Cruz, who resisted and refused to behandcuffed. Mr. Segura and Mr.Guerrero jumped back into their carand drove straight at the officer. Theofficer fired at the vehicle, strikingMr. Guerrero in the left leg. Mr.Arroyo fled on foot but was arrested a

short time later, as was Mr. Cruz. Mr.Guerrero was arrested after a trafficstop on Sunrise Highway in Wantaghin front of Wantagh Ford, with a bul-let hole in the windshield. Mr. Segurawas arrested in a cab heading back toBrooklyn after a traffic stop on theSouthern State Parkway.

Mr. Arroyo, Mr. Guerrero and Mr.Cruz, all of Brooklyn, are awaiting trial.

“This was a savage attack against agroup of people who barely hadenough time for breakfast beforebeing subjected to such violence,” DARice said.

“Thanks to the excellent work ofmembers of the NCPD and members ofmy office, however, this defendant willspend a very long time behind bars.”

Rock Underground fuels Battle of the Bandsby Kimberly White

Funds for the Midnight Madness post-prom event at Zachary’s Night Club inEast Meadow are being provided by theBattle of the Bands event created by theCommunity Wellness Council and TheRock Underground in Bellmore.

Emilio Manzo, president of the theWellness Council, told this newspaper heapproached The Rock Underground onBedford Avenue to help get the event started.

Since funds this year have provenharder to come by to sponsor the post-prom event, Mr. Manzo asked Steve

Eplan, co-owner of the RockUnderground, to get local bands to attendthe event and to make it a success.

To add diversity, Mr. Eplan contactedlocal bands of all ages to compete in thebattle of the bands. There was no agelimit to which bands could compete andwho could not. County Legislator DaveDenenberg suggested a diversity of bandsin order to attract different tyes of music.

Mr. Kaplan said 11 bands will becompeting, from middle school studentsto adults. The bands attending willinclude Kamelot, Platypus, BakedGoods, Still Life and Exit Strategy. All

members of the local community andschools include those from MephamCalhoun and Kennedy High Schools,and Merrick Avenue Middle School.

All the bands are well experiencedand have played at local locations in theBellmore-Merrick community, such asschool events organized by high schoolsin the district, and charity events.

The event there will feature threeguest judges who are all musicallyinvolved in one way or another. Onejudge is Richard Gilley, the band teacherover at Merrick Avenue Middle School.Joe Rock, the DJ of the WBAD radio

station, will be the MC of the event. The event will take place at Brookside

School on Meadowbrook Road onFriday, April 19. Doors open at 6 p.m.and the first band goes on stage at 7 p.m.

For information or to purchase $10tickets, stop by the CommunityWellness Council at the BrooksideSchool on Meadowbrook Road in NorthMerrick or The Rock Underground onBedford Avenue in Bellmore.

Kim White interns atBellmore/Merrick Life as part of theCalhoun Senior Experience class.
