The first woman electedto the town board and thefirst female receiver of taxes inHempstead Town’s history, Mrs. Cullinhas a wealth of government experienceand the depth of knowledge that hasserved her constituents well.

Fighting to preserve the suburban

character of our communities, AngieCullin is working with neighbors to bat-tle a proposed cabaret in Wantagh.

State controller to audit shelterDemocratic State Comptroller

Thomas P. DiNapoli announced lastWednesday that his office will audit thefinancial operations of the Town ofHempstead’s Animal Shelter.

Field work will begin in the next fewweeks, said Mr. DiNapoli, who added hehas received hundreds of complaintsabout the shelter’s financial managementin recent months.

“Our goal is to ensure the integrity offinancial accountability related to theHempstead Animal Shelter,” Mr. DiNapolisaid. Democratic District Attorney KathleenRice, who is conducting her own investiga-tion, requested the comptroller’s audit.

“This audit is essential to ensure thattaxpayer dollars are being properly spenton the care and well-being of the animalsat the Hempstead Town shelter,” Ms.

Rice said. “I want to thank ComptrollerDiNapoli for his commitment to protect-ing the taxpayers.”

DiNapoli’s office sent an auditengagement letter to Republican townSupervisor Kate Murray last week.

A spokesperson for the Town ofHempstead released the following state-ment:

“Issues at the animal shelter have beenpoliticized by some disgruntled peoplefor over a year. We welcome the statecomptroller’s audit.

“Two state reviews of shelter opera-tions within the past year gave the towntop ratings in all categories. We are con-fident that this state review will affirmthe fact that the shelter is well run andgovernment funds are spent for the careand well-being of our animals.”

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:

Rudy’s A-1 Auto Body; Concord Cleaners; AnimalAppetites; Majestic Salon; LaMonica, Herbst & Maniscalco,LLP and Coldwell Banker Manor Gate.

A chance encounter

To The Citizen:This past Saturday morning while

doing errands I crossed paths withRepresentative Peter King. I asked Mr.King whether he had voted against thejobs bill recently proposed by PresidentObama. Mr. King replied that he had infact voted against the bill, calling it awaste of money which would only addto the national debt.

Being of a different opinion I told Mr.King that I thought he was wrong,wherein he invited me to vote againsthim in November 2012. I advised himthat I had been voting against him forover 30 years, going back to his days asNassau County comptroller, wherein heretorted that since he had won his races,I was the big loser.

Peter King voted against the jobs bill.I suppose there is room for debate oneconomic merits, but it seems to me thatpeople who have jobs are more likely tospend money than those who do not, andsince the current economic malaise isdue in large part to a lack of consumer

demand, putting people back to workshould be our number one priority.

Moreover, putting people back towork rebuilding our crumbling infra-structure is an investment in the coun-try’s future. So I repeat, Peter Kingvoted against the jobs bill. Well, I sup-pose that we if we are not working wecan always have a Tea Party.

Eric JuristEditor’s note: This letter was sent to

Congressman King’s office for aresponse, but none was received bypress time.

Concerned neighbors

To The Citizen:Once again we find ourselves in a

“call to action.”For years we fought to get the numer-

ous problems at both the Cedar Creekand Bay Park sewage treatment plantsout in the public eye. It took substantialtime and effort, but we finally achievedour goal when the new administrationtook over and acknowledged our con-

cerns. With the help of plant employees who

risked their jobs to supply us with infor-mation, friends in the media, numerouscivic groups, legislative support, andgood old-fashioned on-the-groundgrassroots effort, we have been able toget rid of the superintendent and getthem at least started on the track to prop-er maintenance and operation.

Nobody thinks twice about sewagetreatment plants, but they are anabsolutely vital part of our infrastruc-ture, and they must be maintained inorder to operate safely and efficiently 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days ayear. When operating efficiently, theseplants protect our waters, and produceexplosive methane gas which can thenbe used to power the plant. You can seethat if the plants are not running proper-ly, disastrous results can occur.

However, we now have a new enemyto fight…privatization.

The Mangano administration has in itscurrent multi-year plan a proposal to pri-vatize our sewage treatment facilities.Consultants have already been engagedto facilitate this. We have many concerns

with this, and the time to act is now.Who will operate the plant? What if

they go bankrupt? What if they sell toanother private company? Who willwork at the plant? Will current employ-ees who know the plant be let go? Willthe new owners be accountable to thepeople, or will we be shut out of ourability to monitor what goes on behindthe gates? Will the old superintendent(who is still employed by the county) bebrought back?

Will profit motive be the only thingthe new owner will care about? Willthey listen when the community com-plains about odors emanating from theplant? What happens in four years whenthe revenue stream to the county is over?What rates will we pay?

There is talk of charging by theamount of water usage in your home.This assumption is that all water you use(even for watering your lawn or fillingyour pool) will be end up at the sewagetreatment facilities. What will this do toyour cost of living?

The list goes on, but the one thing weknow is that privatization is beingpushed through the county Legislatureby the majority party with virtually noinformation to, or input from, the tax-

payers of this county.We need to stop this now. Even NIFA

has not given their approval to this one-shot revenue stream. The following is,in part, a statement by NIFA boardmember George Marlin:

“All should promote public discourseas to whether it is wise policy to sell offthe county’s assets and use the proceedsas ‘one shots’ to balance the operatingbudget. The public should be madeaware that one-shots will not fix thecounty’s structural deficit. It is only‘kicking the fiscal can’ down OldCountry Road.

“There should be public discussion asto whether the proposed sale of Nassau’ssewer system is good public policy. Thepublic should be told how much more it

will cost to flush their toilets if there is asale. There will be a flush fee (a/k/a tax)because sewage costs will no longer bebased on property tax assessments andbecause the buyers of the sewer systemwill require a profit on their investment.”

Call your legislators and the countyexecutive and tell them to stop sellingoff our county.

Please contact us with your e-mailaddress so we can broaden our ability tospread the word around all of Nassaucounty. Unified taxpayers of this countyare the best weapon in our arsenal tohaving our voices heard on this andother universal issues.

Protests continue at Billy Dean’sby Douglas Finlay

Residents continued their protestin front of Billy Dean’s constructionsite on a rainswept weekend, sayingthey would not let up until a stateappeals court also denies Green2009, 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 stripclub in the county,” remarked BillyMilano, brother of Kevin Milano whohas spearheaded the opposition toGreen 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 would remainvigilant and protest until the appealscourt denies Green 2009 a cabaretlicense.

An attorney from the town board was

also present at the protests. “We had ourattorney there representing the supervi-sor and councilmembers who havevoiced their disapproval of the cabaret,”said town spokesman Mike Deery.

He said the town administration washopeful Green 2009 would be deniedon 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 lapdancing and barely clad women.

After months of protests the townasked Green 2009 to reapply to thezoning Board of Appeals for thecabaret license and, in September, itwas denied the application.

Denise Salowski, a Wantagh residentat Saturday's protest, said the neigh-bors have been “very concerned aboutthe clientele that would have come into the neighborhood,” and the type ofbusiness it would be.

Protests in North BellmoreProtesters were also seen at Billy

Dean’s club in North Bellmore lastweek, calling attention to last week-end’s planned protest in Wantagh.

Mr. Deery told the Citizen that BillyDean’s has a cabaret license in NorthBellmore to operate live performancesby employees until 2012.

He said, however, that Green 2009had not been displaying its publicassembly license in the window, and hadto go to court simply to prove it has one.

He added that the town asked theclub to address specific constructionissues within the basement.

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

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.

HELP! A student pretends to cry for help out her “bedroom window.”photos by Karen Forman/Syntax.

Fire safety demonstrated inthe Wantagh schools

In recognition of October as NationalFire Prevention Month, members of theWantagh Fire Department were on handat the Wantagh School District’s threeelementary schools to teach the childrenabout fire safety.

Wantagh firefighter and lead instructorMarcela Loeber came to the schools toteach students about the correct way torespond in the event of a home fire. Shespoke to the children about the impor-tance of having a family evacuation planand showed them a fire safety film.

After the film, she put on her fire-fighting gear to demonstrate what a fire-fighter looks like during an emergencyresponse. Although some of the kinder-garteners looked a little apprehensivewhen they saw her in an oxygen mask,she assured them by explaining, “This iswhat firefighters will look like if theyhave to come into your home to put outa fire. Firefighter Marcela is your friend.

Do you hide from friends? No, becauseI am here to help you. Don’t be scared.”

At the end of the program, the thirdand fourth graders received a hands-onlesson when they entered the “smokehouse,” a Wantagh Fire Departmenttrailer designed to look like a bedroom.

The children filed inside the simulat-ed smoke-filled room, where theylearned how to respond properly in a fireby opening the bedroom window, call-ing for help, and waiting for a firefight-er or another adult to help them escapesafely through the window.

The day’s lessons were part of anannual fire-safety program that encour-ages the connection between theWantagh community and the school dis-trict. As Principal Maureen Goldbergsaid, “This is a wonderful, informativeand valuable program that the childrenall love. We’ve been doing this for morethan 17 years.”

THEY HAVE MERIT: Jordan Fisher (second left) and Lauren Saunders (secondright) were National Merit Semifinalists.

DEVELOPING CAREERS: students from the Seaford Career DevelopmentProgram and neighboring school districts posed at Seaford’s annual CDPDance.

National Merit Semifinalistssaluted at MacArthur

Principal Kathleen Valentinoannounced recently that seniorsJordan Fisher and Lauren Saundershave been designated as Semifinalistsin the 2012 National MeritScholarship Program. About 1.5 mil-lion juniors in some 22,000 highschools entered the program by takingthe 2010 Preliminary SAT/NationalMerit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Semifinalists named in each year’scompetition show exceptional aca-demic ability and potential for successin rigorous college studies. Jordan andLauren are among 16,000Semifinalists who are the highest-scoring entrants in each state and rep-resent less than one percent of eachstate’s high school seniors.

Jordan follows a schedule repletewith Advanced Placement courses aswell as being a three-sport athlete. Heis the corresponding secretary of theNational Honor Society, and is presi-

dent of the Tri-M Honor Society.Jordan is a peer leader and in his freetime tutors fellow students in all sub-jects. He hopes to study engineeringand music composition at university.

Lauren’s academic plate is occupiedwith a host of Advanced Placementcourses. She is captain of the ColorGuard, Vice President ofCommunications for her youth group,and is the treasurer of the Tri-M HonorSociety. Her goal is to attend a uni-versity where she will study physicsand/or psychology.

The next step for these outstandingstudents is to submit academic recordsand a detailed scholarship applicationin hopes of advancing to the Finalistlevel in the Scholarship Program.

MacArthur students and staff salutetheir National Merit ScholarshipSemifinalists, and wish Jordan andLauren continued success in the com-petition.
