Winter Ball honors three from Wantagh

by Paul Roberts

Last week, the Wantagh Chamber ofCommerce and Meenan Oil hosted a“Winter Ball,” a ceremony and dinner atthe Westbury Manor. Its purpose was torecognize and honor three Wantagh resi-dents who died this year; all withinmonths of one another.

They were Meenan Oil executive John“Jack” Poyer; Nassau County PoliceOfficer Michael Califano, and NassauCounty Police Technician Stephen Linzer.Each, in his own individual way, wasexemplary in the life he led, in his loveand devotion to his families and friends,and his commitment to his communityand co-workers.

Over a 30 year career as sales executivewith Meenan Oil, Wantagh businessmanJack Poyer was often recognized for hisoutstanding salesmanship and very spe-cial relationships he maintained with hiscustomers. “Jack was among those mem-bers of the Wantagh Chamber ofCommerce who was continually activeand enthusiastic.” said chamber President,

Chris Brown. “We could always count onJack’s participation in virtually all cham-ber-produced events in the community.Simply put, Jack loved Wantagh!” Aspart of their Winter Ball ceremony, theWantagh Chamber of Commerce andMeenan Oil honored Jack’s memory.

Police Officer Michael Califano washonored for his dedication and promise tokeep Nassau County a safe place to liveand work. There has been a lot writtenabout his bravery and sacrifices. In hisfour years as a highway patrol officer,Michael was praised by his fellow officersfor his bright, enthusiastic outlook and hisloyalty and reliability, both on and off thejob. He was a devoted husband and fatherof three. Michael’s bravery and memorywas honored at the Winter Ball, with theJohn Murray Jr. Scholarship Award pre-sented to his family.

Saving lives was the driving forcebehind County Police Technician StevenLinzer’s life. It’s not possible to calculatethe number of lives Steve has helped save.He had certifications in EMT and AEMTearly in life. His service included working

with Mercy Ambulance, Long BeachHospital EMS, and Lutheran Hospital,and the Nassau County PoliceDepartment’s Emergency AmbulanceBureau. He also volunteered with the FireDepartments of Long Beach andWantagh. On March 15, Steve was admit-ted to Winthrop with a massive leg infec-tion and later died. He was a loving anddedicated husband to Irene and father ofthree. Steven’s life and memory was alsohonored at the Winter Ball, with the pres-entation of the first annual John (Jack)Poyer Scholarship Award, presented to hisfamily.

Chris Brown added, “There are manycitizens in Wantagh and surroundingtowns, young people and adults alike, whoseem to devote much of their personaltime for the benefit of their communityand to those in need. The WantaghChamber of Commerce Winter Ballenabled our businesses and families in thecommunity to recognize and applaudthree of these heroes. It’s the thanks,praise and appreciation they may not haveoften heard, but certainly deserve.”

FAMILIES OF HONOREES: The families of Meenan Oil Executive, Jack Poyer; Nassau County Police Officer MichaelCalifano; and Nassau County Police Technician Steven Linzer gathered at the Winter Ball ceremony and dinner sponsoredby the Wantagh Chamber of Commerce. Among the speakers at the event were County Legislator Dave Denenberg (left),and Winter Ball Producer and Wantagh Chamber of Commerce President Chris Brown (right).

Shop locally this holiday season!Local Economic Stimulus is something WE can make hap-

pen, especially during the holiday shopping season that isabout to begin. Let us not wait for Washington, D.C. to wakeup our economy.

When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather thannationally owned, more money is kept in the communitybecause locally-owned businesses often purchase from otherlocal businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing localhelps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base.

2. Non Profits Receive Greater Support. Local business owners donate more to local charities than

non-local owners.3. Unique Businesses Create Character and Prosperity.The unique character of your local community is defined in

large part by the business that reside there, and that plays a bigfactor in your overall satisfaction with where you live and thevalue of you home and property.

4. Environmental Impact Is Reduced.Small local business usually set up shop in the town/village

center, providing a centralized variety that is much friendlier toa community’s walk score than out of town shopping malls.This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion,habitat loss and pollution.

5. Most New Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses.Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally.

Plus the more jobs you have in your local community the lesspeople are going to have to commute which means more timeand less traffic and pollution.

6. Customer Service Is Better.Local businesses often hire people with more specific prod-

uct expertise for better customer service. You are also going tosee these people around town and they are less likely to blowyou off or be rude because they have to face you day after day.

7. Local Business Owners Invest In Community.Local businesses are owned by people who live in this com-

munity, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in thecommunity’s welfare and future.

8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs.Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and

more efficiently utilize public services relative to chain stores.9. Competition And Diversity Leads To More Consumer

Choices.A marketplace of thousands of small businesses is the best

way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.10. You Matter More.We talk a lot about exerting influence with your purchasing

choices, or “voting with your wallet.” It’s a fact that businessrespond to their customers but your values and desires aremuch more influential to you local community business thanthe large big box stores.

Congressman King: Medicare open enrollmentends December 7

U.S. Congressman Pete Kingreminds all those participating inMedicare that the open enrollment peri-od ends on Wednesday, December 7.

“Every year, people with Medicareget to explore new choices and pick thehealth and drug plans that work best forthem,” Congressman King said. “If youare currently participating in Medicare

and would like to change your plan,please do so by the December 7 dead-line to ensure that you are properlyenrolled in your new plan and have allthe essential plan materials and mem-bership cards in hand on January 1,when new coverage starts.”

According to Congressman King,there will be a wide range of health and

drug plan options available. Most peo-ple with Medicare can choose a “PartD” plan to help them pay for prescrip-tion drugs.

And people who have chosen toenroll in a “Part C” MedicareAdvantage plan for their basic healthcare services have the option of stayingin that plan, choosing a different plan,

or going back to the original Medicareprogram.

Plans can change from year to year,so these are important choices thatshould be made with care. People canturn to www.medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or consult with a localState Health Insurance AssistanceProgram (SHIP) for help.

$450,000Question: My wife and I are looking to down size and it has been years since we bought a home. Can you give me any pointers in purchasing our new home?

Answer: For sure times have changed, and you know the old story: "buyer beware." Here are 8 buyer traps andhow to avoid them:

#1. Bidding Blind:If you fail to research the market in order to understand what comparable homes are selling for making your offerwould be like bidding blind.#2. Buying the Wrong Home:More than one buyer has found themselves swept up in emotion and excitement to find they bought a house either toobig or too small, or commute is longer than they thought. Take time up front to clearly define your wants and needs.#3. Unclear Title:Be sure there are no tax liens, all Co's are in order, no easement problems.#4. In Accurate Survey:Ask for updated surveys showing boundaries.#5. Undisclosed Fix Up:Hire an independent inspector.#6. Get pre-approved :When you have a pre-approval, you can shop for your home with greater sense of freedom and security.#7. Be Sure:All your requests of purchase of a property must be in writing.#8. Hidden Costs:Make sure you identify and uncover all costs - large and small - ahead oftime.
