The North Bellmore School DistrictCommittee to Explore Educational

Options (CEEO) meeting last weekbecame contentious when at least twoattendees challenged the committee’sfindings, suggesting that the group wassimply a distraction to appease the pub-

lic, and complaining that the committeewas not putting forth a 3-5-year plan.

The lack of such a long-term planwould put the district in the same situa-tion next year, forcing it to cut even more,one audience member said.

All evening the committee discussedthe possibility of closing a school – tak-ing a straw poll in which 19 of 20 com-mittee members in attendance agreed thata school would have close – and dis-cussed programs vital to the students, aswell as programs that could fall under thecategory of discretionary spending.

Some programs, such as the Alpha pro-gram and an arts program, are jewels inthe district, said committee member DanCheckla, and shouldn’t be touched, evenas they could be considered discretionary.

Others programs, such as the CertifiedSpecial Education program, could actual-ly bring in tuition, one committee mem-ber suggested.

Arnold Goldstein, superintendent ofschools, reacted to an audience member

who suggested during the question-and-answer portion of the program that theschool board had already concluded aschool would have to be shut to makeup the mounting deficit, and that thecommittee was just there to appease thepublic.

The attendee made his remark after Mr.Goldstein said, while discussing issueswith the committee, that an outsideorganization was interested in renting outthe school.

Committee member Nina Lanci men-tioned earlier that Police Activity League(PAL) groups in the communities wouldbe interested in renting the fields, as wellas Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops inter-ested in renting out the gyms and otherrooms if any school was to be closed.

Mr. Goldstein said that the integrity ofthe school board was beyond question,and it is doing everything in its power tokeep the programs in place during this“unprecedented economic crisis” the

GETTING IT ALL OUT: Some members of the audience vented their frustration atthe rapidly turning events in the North Bellmore School District to close a school toclose a deficit gap. Partial elimination of busing is also under consideration.

Bellmore Life photo by Douglas Finlay

NB school committee challenged at meeting

district finds itself in.Mr. Goldstein said that “We thought

after renewing contracts that thingswould change, but they haven’t.”

Some members of the committeealso reacted to the audience member’sinference that the committee had beendoing nothing.

Board member Caren Kabak said“Everyone of us struggles” in thecommittee to find ways to savemoney to avert a school closure, butthe task was becoming more daunting[to keep one open] as the numberswere crunched.

The audience member then apolo-gized to the committee members, say-ing he didn’t mean to offend them.

Attendee Dave Harrison pepperedMr. Goldstein with questions about a3-5-year plan Mr. Harrison believedthe school board was not consideringin creating future years’ budget.

“If you close a school, show us aconcrete plan for the next year or two,to live within criteria. If it has to hap-pen [closing the school] present aplan for the next few years, and howto close the gap over several years,”he implored.

Mr. Goldstein told Mr. Harrisonthat not all information was availableat the moment to determine if aschool has to be closed, but said thecommittee would be looking at elimi-nating busing of up to two miles as ameans of finding savings, whichwould be permanent.

Extending busing to two mileswould save $400,000, one committeemember reported.

Mr. Goldstein said the district hadlittle flexibility on how far it could goin keeping class sizes relativelysmall.

To save just one salaried teacherposition, he said school class sizescould increase to 30 or 31. He saidthat by eliminating school busingaltogether, the Princeton Plan couldagain be considered as a good way tosave more money.

His comment echoed committeemember Pete Mayo’s preparedremarks read at the meeting. Thestatement said that by eliminatingbusing the Princeton Plan could againbe put on the agenda as a means tosave additional money.

Angela Bennett, another committeemember, told this newspaper that tak-ing a referendum to raise taxes toclose the deficit would not likelywork because, according to new statelaw, there has to be a 60% majority ofthe community in favor of raisingtaxes, and there doesn’t appear to be amajority vote for raising taxes.

The next meeting will beWednesday, November 16, at 7 p.m.at Saw Mill Road School.

A Voters GuideThis is the last issue of your community newspaper before

the November 8 election. It is also the week we traditionallypublish the portion of the League of Women Voters Guide thataffects our publication area. It is reprinted with their permission.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan group ofvoters, with membership open to both men and women, butfounded by women when they gained the right to vote. Inaddition to the annual voters’ guide, the league also pub-lishes guides to registering to vote and obtaining an absenteeballot, contact information for elected officials, and variousresearch papers on issues of interest. They train to be moder-ators in local candidates’ debates. And they host forums onimportant issues also, all this as unpaid volunteers doingtheir civic duty.

Years ago the league honored your community newspa-per’s publisher along with Joye Brown of Newsday’s edito-rial board. A dear friend, now gone, came to the luncheonand brought me a T-shirt she had decorated with the image ofthe Statue of Liberty, whose 125th anniversary we celebratethis week. She had made one minor change. The statuewielded a pen instead of a torch.

Bente Hamann must have loved the Statue of Liberty asmuch as she loved New York City. She came to this countrywith her husband when he joined the art department of thefledgling United Nations. Here, she launched a career as ajournalist and later book designer and production chief at topNew York publishing houses. He rose in the United Nations tobecome its Postmaster General. He was the artist whodesigned the “flag” or distinctive nameplate of this newspaper.

Together, they raised a daughter, Kristine, who became alawyer and has held important posts in the state and city jus-tice system. They helped raise two granddaughters, one alawyer and the other a designer. You could say all three gen-erations have lived the American Dream, promised by theStatue of Liberty at the entrance to our shores.

Bente Hamann’s artistic rendering of that symbol of ourfreedom wielding a pen makes me think of many famousjournalists who have brought light to important subjects thataffect our freedom. But it also makes me think of the Leagueof Women Voters, helping us to make informed decisions onvoting day.

Our thanks to them, and to the public spirited sponsorswho are helping us bring the voter’s guide to you this week.They are listed below:

End unfunded educational mandates

To Bellmore Life:Parents and taxpayers in New York State

may not be fully aware of the burden thathas been placed on them, as well as on theirchildren, by new laws mandating increasedtesting of students as a means of evaluatingteachers and administrators.

State law now requires that 20% of ateacher’s yearly evaluation must be basedon student performance on state standard-ized tests, and that an additional 20% mustbe based on so-called “local assessments.”

Many educators strongly believe thatthis testing is counter-productive, expen-sive and harmful to our children. Excessivetesting causes them to lose valuableinstructional time due to test preparationand administration; it puts additionalunnecessary pressure on our students; andit costs districts money that they cannotafford to spend.

The State Education Department hasmade it nearly impossible for these “localassessments” to be created locally, by theeducators who actually work with the stu-dents. Instead, districts are being put in aposition, against their wishes, where they

must purchase exams from corporate pub-lishers, at a cost of as much as nearly $20per student.

This year, Bellmore-Merrick is doingthis to follow SED regulations in the mid-dle schools in English and math. Next year,the state plans to expand the testing to allsubject areas in middle school and highschool, at additional cost.

This is yet another unfunded mandatethat districts across the state are beingforced to deal with. We are being com-pelled to spend large sums of money ontesting, at a time when state aid is beingcut, expenses are increasing and a tax capis being imposed on us.

Moreover, our students are already over-tested. Do they really need additional teststhat are designed primarily not to educatethem, but to evaluate their educators?Teachers and administrators obviouslymust be accountable as professionals forthe jobs that they do. No one would arguethat point.

But to give students additional highstakes tests, at great cost to school districts,in order to supposedly accomplish thatgoal, is both financially and educationallydamaging. Children are being used aspolitical pawns in the movement for “edu-cation reform,” and it is simply wrong.

Taxpayers and parents who agree thatthis is wrong need to make their voicesheard on the state level, demanding thatunfunded mandates and unnecessary test-ing be ended. Our state legislators and thegovernor need to hear from us.

Michael Dolber, President, Bellmore-Merrick United Secondary

Teachers (BMUST)

Thank you to everyone

Your own cells can help you healby Drs. Leon Livingston, Douglas

Livingston and associates

Doctors at Livingston Foot CareSpecialists use your body’s cells tohelp heal your pain. People who sufferfrom pain from conditions such as heelspurs, plantar fasciitis, tendinitis,arthritis and other severely painfulconditions can be treated with this newtechnologically advanced treatment.

A patient’s cells are actually harvest-ed and utilized to heal the painful con-ditions. This treatment eliminates thepossibility of foreign reactions andside effects, since it comes from thepatient’s own cells.

The treatment is done without corti-sone or other medications that canincrease the risk of adverse side effects.

Platelets found in blood are a richsource of growth factors, and it hasbeen found that using the patient’s ownblood – by isolating, concentrating andactivating the platelets along withwhite cells and injecting them into thearea of pain – can reduce inflammation.

Many studies have found thatplatelet rich plasma (PRP) helps in thehealing process by concentrating thegrowth factors in a specific area.

Because the materials used in thetreatment are derived from thepatient’s own body, the chance ofadverse drug reactions is eliminated,making the process safe.

Doctors are having remarkable suc-cess using this therapy to treat resistantpain from inflammatory conditions.Patients are able to resume their nor-mal activities quickly and experiencepain relief almost immediately aftertreatment.

Platelet-rich plasma is a viable alter-native to surgical intervention forchronic heel pain, tendinitis, bursitisand fasciitis without requiring a longpost-operative recovery period.

For information on this treatmentmodality or to determine if you are acandidate for PRP, call LivingstonFoot Care Specialists, 1685 NewbridgeRoad, North Bellmore, 826-0103.

Kennedy varsity volleyball tovie for fourth championship

by Eric Homburger

Last week the KennedyCougars varsity boy’s vol-leyball team finished upanother spectacular season,with a 3-0 victory over theJericho Jayhawks. The wingives the Cougars a 9-3record to finish the seasonas well as the number twoseed in the conference.

It was a fitting win toanother great season for theCougars. Evan Gerlacksaid, “We played well,[even] with a man down.”That man down was one ofthe captains, senior Ben Canarick.

Without Ben, the Cougars took thefloor and the guys picked up the slack.Matt Murphy had 10 kills and 2 aces,Steven Gassert had 7 kills and 4 blocks,Nick Anderson had 6 kills and 4 blocks,while Gary Anderson had 4 kills, 2blocks and 19 assists.

“We played strong and aggressive theentire time. That kept us going,” saidMatt Goldhirsch. Coach Dennis Ringeladded that “[we] made more hustle plays[this game] than we did all year. We wantto be a team that out-works other teams,”and that is precisely what they did.

Although the Cougars shut outJericho, that doesn’t mean that theyweren’t a tough opponent. CoachRingel said, “[We had to] serve themaggressively” and they had to havesolid blocking against Jericho’s bestplayers. Both things were accom-plished efficiently and effectively.

The Cougars fought hard, not only inthis game, but for the entire season, andthey are ready to face whatever opponentcomes their way. When asked about theplayoffs, Coach Ringel replied, “Ourguys have one goal, and that is to win acounty championship.”

If the Cougars win, it won’t be justtheir first championship. It would betheir fourth straight, and the seniorson the team would have won all fourof them.

Matt said, “To walk out of high school,and help win four straight is unbeliev-able! To win one is crazy but to win fouris unheard of.”

The Cougars have proved they are adominant force in high school volley-ball, and they plan to keep it that way.Saturday, November 5, is Kennedy’sfirst playoff game, and what could bethe start to winning another countychampionship.

Meet the candidates for town and county seatsby Linda Delmonico Prussen

The North and Central Merrick CivicAssociation and the South MerrickCommunity Civic Association co-hosted a“Meet the Candidates” last week atMerrick Road Park Clubhouse. The eventwas attended by about 50 residents and 16candidates.

The many candidates for judicial posi-tions made it clear early on, and often, that,ethically, they could only discuss theirqualifications and not politics.

County Court judgeDemocratic candidate Elizabeth Kase

said she was running for a 10-year term inthe felony court because “I want to devotemyself again to community service.”

Judge Kase said she had been a felonycourt prosecutor in Manhattan before join-ing her father’s private practice in GardenCity. She has since taken over that practiceand is also serving as an appointed judge inBaxter Estates in Port Washington. JudgeKase said she was found “well qualified”

from the Nassau County Bar Association.

Second District Court judgeDemocratic candidate Judge Carmen St.

George said she had been a prosecutor forover six years in Queens before joining aprivate firm to practice civil litigation. Shesaid her expertise has been called upon as acommentator for both CNN and Fox Newscable TV networks.

Republican incumbent AnthonyParadiso said his judicial philosophy is,“You can’t administer justice in cookie-cutter fashion. What’s right in one situationmay not be right in another. Each case isdifferent. I try to do what’s right in each sit-uation without prejudging a case.”

Republican incumbent Gary Knobelsaid he has been an Oceanside residentoff and on since 1972. Mr. Knobelsaid, “I waited a long time to be ajudge.” He said he worked as a lawclerk for a number of judges and thathe also presides over psychiatric reten-tion hearings for Nassau County.

Republican incumbent Eric Bjorneby

said he has spent 23 years as a Brooklynprosecutor and served in the state attorneygeneral’s office. He said, “I have the kindof background that prepares me very well.”Judge Bjorneby said he has been endorsedby the CSEA and the Nassau CountySheriffs Association. He grew up in ValleyStream and now resides in Malverne.

Democratic candidate KristenMcElroy said she was a district attorneyin Nassau County and is runningbecause she wants to make a difference.She is now working at a private practicethat assists legal aid clients when there isa conflict with legal aid.

Ms. McElroy said she practices solely inNassau County, mostly in district court,and that being both a prosecutor and adefense attorney are important attributesfor the job as district judge.

Democratic candidate AnthonyRattoballi said he was a district attorneyin the homicide trial bureau in Queens,but now specializes in criminal defense.Mr. Rattoballi said he has prosecuted anddefended a variety of criminal cases. He isa member of 9/11 Trial Lawyers Care, anorganization that provided legal servicesto the families and victims of theSeptember 11 attack.

Town of Hempstead supervisorDemocratic candidate Gary Port is an

attorney practicing matrimonial and com-mercial law. He is also a lieutenant colonelin the U.S. Army Reserves. He said, “Howmany nice Jewish boys in the ’80s join theArmy? I did, because I have a sense ofpurpose.” He said people are leaving theTown of Hempstead because there are nojobs. “Without jobs everything falls apart.”He said, “I promise if I get elected I’ll cutthe Town of Hempstead supervisor salaryby 25%.” He said he’d cut other townboard salaries by 10%. He said he’d cutmailings. He said in order to bring in jobs,“We need to market the town. We need tofix the zoning.”

13th Legislative DistrictDemocratic candidate Patricia Maher, an

East Meadow resident, said, “I believe Ican cross party lines.” She said she hasbeen endorsed by the PBA and the CSEA.Ms. Maher said she is against theRepublican redistricting plan for the coun-ty Legislature. Republican incumbent Norma Gonsalvessaid, “Why do I want to continue to serve?When you are successful and getting thejob done it’s important you continue to dowhat you do best.” Legislateor Gonsalves

And not only was St. Francis named one of the best hospitals in the countr y for cardiology and heart surger y by U.S.News & World Report forthe fifth consecutive year, it was once again named the best heart hospital on Long Island. In fact, St. Francis has the most physicians recommendedfor cardiac care on Long Island. And that proven cardiac excellence should continue well into the future because St. Francis is a premier center forclinical trials in cardiac imaging and treatments. So, if your heart isn’t yet at St. Francis, maybe it should be. After all, you only have one heart.

ning as the Republican challenger in the19th Legislative District. Mr. Jones said, “Ijust don’t like the way things are going.Nassau County is broken.”

Mr. Jones said has been a resident ofMerrick for 27 years and is a volunteerin the Freeport Fire Department. Whenasked about closing police stations, hesaid he believes in “consolidating”police precincts and redistricting withsubstations. Mr. Jones said this will notcause a loss of police jobs.

Democratic incumbent LegislatorDave Denenberg said, “We really haveto make Nassau County sustainable inthe long run.” He said, “We don’t wantto lose our quality of life.”

He said he is against closing downpolice stations. He said, “We reallyhave an issue where our public safetyand quality of life are at risk.” He citesa reaction time of 57 seconds to therecent pit bull attack. He said, “NassauCounty also needs targeted develop-ment in our traditional downtownareas.”

Town of Hempstead ClerkSteve Anchin, the Democratic can-

didate for Hempstead Town clerk,said, “I am a businessman, I’ve been abusinessman all my life. I believe it’stime to bring a business backgroundto the town.” The town clerk positionhandles licensing such as hunting,

Republican incumbent Town ClerkMark Bonilla of Bellmore said theTown of Hempstead is the largest pass-port accepting facility in the county.He said he spearheaded both the ChildSafety Program where children arephotographed and finger printed, andthe new Senior Citizen IdentificationProgram.

She said specifically that she’d liketo see more biomedical research inthe town. She said she’d work to getrid of “archaic” zoning laws. She saidthe town needs mixed zoning withsmall apartment buildings in down-town business areas, so stores canflourish and people can take pride inwhere they live.

Receiver of TaxesDemocratic candidate Wilton

Robinson Jr. said, “We need someonewith fiscal responsibility. I can be anadvocate for the people of the Townof Hempstead.” Mr. Robinson saidhe plans to have forums to explain topeople about their taxes. He closedwith, “We are in disarray and we needto fix it.”

Protesters were seen at Billy Dean’sclub on Newbridge Road in NorthBellmore last week, calling attention tolast weekend’s protest in Wantagh.

Hempstead Town spokesman MikeDeery told this newspaper that BillyDean’s has a cabaret license in NorthBellmore to operate live performancesby employees until March 2012.

He said, however, that Green2009, owner of Billy Dean’s, had notbeen displaying its public assemblylicense in the window, and had to goto court simply to prove it has one.

He added that the town asked the clubto address specific construction issueswithin the basement.

He also said that over the years thetown has investigated the club at nightand found no nudity being displayedinside the club.

Protests continue in WantaghMeanwhile, residents continued their

protest in front of Billy Dean’s con-struction site in Wantagh on a rainsweptweekend, saying they would not let upuntil a state appeals court also deniesGreen 2009, owner of Billy Dean’s, alicense to open a cabaret at the pro-posed restaurant.

“If you visit Billy Dean’s website itsays he owns the number one strip clubin the county,” remarked Billy Milano,brother of Kevin Milano who has spear-headed the opposition to Green 2009.

Mr. Milano added that the zoningboard approved the license for acabaret, even when Mr. Dean’s reputa-

tion is that of a strip club owner. Mr.Dean owns Billy Dean’s strip club inNorth Bellmore.

He said the protesters wouldremain vigilant and protest until theappeals court denies Green 2009 acabaret license.

An attorney from the town board wasalso present at the protests. “We had ourattorney there representing the supervi-sor and councilmembers who havevoiced their disapproval of the cabaret,”said Mr. Deery.

He said the town administrationwas hopeful Green 2009 would bedenied on appeal.

Democratic candidates for townsupervisor, town council and countylegislative districts were at the rally toalso oppose the appeal.

In June 2010 the board approvedGreen 2009’s application for a cabaretlicense and it began building a restau-rant at 3500 Sunrise Highway.

But residents living down the streetand in the vicinity took up protestsagainst the proposed cabaret, saying itwould bring in Las Vegas-style enter-tainment, which could include lap danc-ing and barely clad women.

After months of protests the townasked Green 2009 to reapply to the zon-ing Board of Appeals for the newcabaret license and, in September, itwas denied the application.

Denise Salowski, a Wantagh residentat Saturday’s protest, said the neighborshave been “very concerned about theclientele that would have come in to theneighborhood,” and the type of busi-ness it would be.
