December 18, 2000 Meeting
Police Liaison, Officer Bartlett:
Provided copies of Town code $202-64 which deals with night parking of
commercial vehicles and defines this vehicle category. Be sure to call
911, NOT the precinct, when the parking violation takes place, not before, not
after. The restriction is in effect from Midnight to 6:00 a.m. 911
calls become part of the statistics which form the basis for assessing the need,
nature and amount of police coverage in the area, calls to the precinct do not.
Based on the statistics, plain clothes presence has been increased.
People hanging out at Cedar Street Park, Gino's Pizza have moved to Fenimore,
Maple and the area around the High School.
Plans for reconfiguring the Uniondale-Jerusalem Avenue intersection are in
the works.
Fire Department, Chief Campbell:
Be careful with candles and dried out Christmas trees. Stove fires may be
easily extinguished with a lid, flour or salt; NEVER water.
Youth Project, Lorraine Danser:
Teens Acting Positively (TAP) had successful party with DJ.
Holiday Music:
Uniondale High School flute choir and guitar club
November 20, 2000 Meeting
Fire Department, Chief Campbell:
Change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Check boiler and
chimney. Check your decorative lights before using. Use lights with
a fuse. Warning against scam by chimney sweepers who represent that they
are from the Fire Department.
The Fire Department is looking for new members. Juniors a 13 to 18
years of age and they meet twice a month.
The Fire Department fund raising is finished, so if anyone asks for
donations, call police.
Police, Officer Bartlett:
Asked radio units to keep eye on hang-out that may be relative to illegal
apartment.
Complaint about illegal car repair shop determined to be unfounded.
Uniondale Car Care no longer parks cars on sidewalk.
Possible drug sales on Davis Avenue reported to Narcotics Department.
The Police Department and the School District is holding a community meeting
at the High School on November 28 at 8:00 p.m.
So-called crimes of opportunity such as robberies traditionally go up at this
time of year. There was an armed robbery at one of the 7-11 stores and at
the Savannah food market. Be aware of your surroundings when you go
outside. Report any missing street lights to police (911) as light is a
crime deterrent.
No one was hurt during shooting at 600 Davis Avenue. Maybe related to a
previous resident there.
Stop sign on Pine Street near Parkway is not being observed. Should be
moved to the other side as it is being obstructed by vegetation.
Landscaping vehicles cannot be parked on the street over night. It is a
question whether school busses are considered commercial vehicles or not.
Speed limit is not being observed on Midwood or Jerusalem Avenue in front of
Turtle Hook. Present 40 MPH limit is too high in a school area. Also
need island in the street near ShopRite.
Youth
Project:
Have one worker, case manager, that works both middle schools, will have two
workers doing street outreach work, that will also work with HEVN.
The middle school after-school program is with new state money -
activities expected to begin in January at Lawrence Rd - the middle school age
children that are currently in after-school at Center will appropriately move to
new program, allowing younger children to come off elementary waiting list.
All of these monies are for new programs, do not support existing programs
or agency's infrastructure which is pretty much
totally supported by County money that is very unsure at this time, as there is
no County budget yet.
Guest Speaker:
County Legislator, Patrick
Williams regarding County Budget and Re-assessment Update.
This legislature took over a 380 million dollar deficit. In the past
the County has relied heavily on one-shot revenue deals like selling the Medical
Center and other property. Now, there simple
are no more Health Centers or other County land to sell and that revenue source
will have to be replaced with a more continuous one. All legislators regardless of party have worked very hard on
this. The County Executive proposed a 3.9% County tax increase,
Republicans a 5% increase and Democrats a 15.4% increase which is what is
needed to maintain certain vital services such as Able Ride for the elderly, the
subsidy for bus service and for the Youth Board. The County Executive
vetoed the Legislature's proposal. Governor Pataki appointed the Nassau
Interim Finance Authority (NIFA). We will get $105 million from the State if we
can balance the budget in four years and come up with one bi-partisan plan to do
it by November 30. Otherwise the fiscal oversight board will turn into a
control board effectively removing the decision power from the voters of Nassau
County.
457,000 parcels must be re-assessed within three years. One of the four
companies capable of doing the work has been chosen. The cost will be
$34.3 million of which $5 million will be returned to the communities in the
form of wages. They will take photos of all properties and develop its
assessed value. You can still challenge their determination afterwards.
U.N.I.T.E.
34 rental units are being built in North Merrick but close enough for Uniondale
to be affected by the increased traffic that may be generated. This is in
addition to the traffic that is already being generated by WalMart and ShopRite.
In addition the new laundromat will be added soon.
The County Department for Seniors has a Directory of Services and a book
about Long Term Care.
Farm stand: Nothing is happening. We need an engineer's help to
get zoning approval for the renovations.
A dumpster at the Lennox Plaza shopping center will take away valuable
parking spaces. Town engineers are working on it. We suggest walk-in
coolers in the basement. One store owner has stored garbage across the
street which meant smell and rodents during the summer.
Waiting for School Board to approve fence around Stratford Farm property.
Thanksgiving baskets:
Food items collected as well as $125 in cash.
The UCC dinner dance will take place on January 26 at Verdi's on Old Country
Road. Tickets are $50.
Library
Board Election:
Candidate is Arturo Consuegra who is also Captain in the Auxiliary Police.
Bring labels from Pepsi and Mountain Dew bottles to Laura Sanchez at
California Avenue School or to the Uniondale Community Council Youth Project at
720 Uniondale Avenue. The school can trade them in for musical instruments.
September 18, 2000 Meeting
Crime Stoppers
Speaker: Lt. Lucas
Crime stoppers has been in existence for five years. The purpose is to
gather intelligence through greater in-depth community involvement.
There are 1000 Crime Stopper organization in 20 other countries besides the
US. They have apprehended 100,000 criminals, closed 665,000 cases and
collected $4 billion in seized assets.
Crime Stoppers overcome people's fear of getting involved or face retaliation
by guaranteeing anonymity. Crime Stoppers overcome apathy and indifference
by offering cash awards of up to $2,000. All rewards are donated, not tax
money.
The Board of Directors is made up of prominent business people who set
policies and raise money. The media (TV, radio, etc.) help highlight
objectives. Police operate 24-hour hotline 1-800-244-TIPS manned with
detectives.
Confidentiality and anonymity are guaranteed through a cloak and dagger
procedure for the delivery of the cash award. One third of the awards go
unclaimed.
Police Report
Sgt. Perkins and Officer Donalpho
A resident raised the usual problems with traffic and parking violations on
Uniondale Avenue. Incidentally, one of the candidates later said that
enforcement alone will not solve the problem. Uniondale Avenue needs to be
fixed. Now, we'd better keep an eye on what "fixed" means.
Another resident complained about the noise from groups of moped users.
Sgt. Perkins emphasized which number to call in various situations. 911 is
for immediate assistance. 800-244-TIPS is for information that might be
useful

July
17, 2000 Meeting
Youth Project
Summer Camp:
69 elementary school children attended summer camp at the United Methodist
Center. Activities: Knights of the Round Table role play activity
among many other fun activities.
21 7th graders and up were at the Uniondale Neighborhood Center.
Activities: The Sports Commission arranged for professional golf, martial
arts, tennis and swimming instructors.
The UNC is now in a position to be able to acquire the adjoining property
affectionately known as the "Christmas House." Closing will take
place soon. Then comes the task of putting a building on it.
HEVN (Helping End Violence Now) is a coalition of
District Attorney's Office, Sheriff's Department, Police Department, Clergy,
Schools, Community Groups and many others in an effort to prevent gang violence
in our community. Please watch the events
calendar for their monthly meetings. HEVN has held two mass meetings with
between 100 and 200 in attendance. The goal is to make the effort
bi-county wide.
Police Liaison
P.O. Mike Bartlett and Sgt. Carpenter
Officer Bartlett reported on the items on the list he asked for last
month. As usual, call 911 for illegally parked cars, loitering, noise,
etc. You can make your call anonymous, but it is not recommended.
The officers who respond may be able to do more if there is someone they can
contact for additional information. You can even arrange for rendezvous at
a different location and the officer will meet you there. Further
investigation will be made with respect to the traffic light at Uniondale and
Jerusalem and the trucks belonging to a nursery near Paff Avenue. Patrol
cars are deployed at the High School around lunch time and at dismissal.
We got a list of items a things parents can look for to see if their children
might be involved in gang activity. Look for it to be made available on
this site, probably on the HEVN page
Guest Speakers
Judge Frances Ricigliano - Small Claims Court
Judge Ricigliano was the Judge before whom four of the five people arrested for
the beating death of Eric Rivera had to appear. The accused will be held
without bail. Obviously, Judge Ricigliano could not comment any further.
His favorite activity is to preside in Small Claims Court. Small Claims
Court handles monetary claims of less than $3000. It is quick, you can do
it on your schedule and you don't need a lawyer. Here's how: Go to
the Clerk's office on the 2nd floor of the District Courthouse at 99 Main Street
Hempstead between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For a fee of $10 for suits under
$1000 and $15 for suits between $1000 and $3000, the Clerk will mail a summons
to the defendant. You get to pick the time for his/her appearance.
At the trial you have to prove that the defendant is liable and how much he/she
owes you. If you are successful, you will get a judgment which you then
have to collect. In the event the defendant doesn't pay voluntarily, there
are a few things you can do such as file a transcript of the judgment with the
County Clerk. That will place a lien on any property the defendant might
own. You can get the Sheriff to execute on bank accounts. You can
send an Information Subpoena to the defendant to find out where his bank
accounts are. Failure to answer the subpoena could result in jail as it is
contempt of court. You can garnish 10% of salary. Judge Ricigliano
will be running for re-election again in November, please remember him.
Island Medical Center
IMC formerly known as Hempstead General Hospital is one of only two remaining
private hospitals on Long Island. The hospital used to be a special
procedure facility. Now the focus is more on community service. They
have plans for people without medical insurance. They emphasize health
care teaching particularly in the area of mammography, diabetes and early stroke
detection. Their recent health fair was rained out and will be rescheduled
for September. The health fair is co-sponsored by a theater group called
Let the Healing Begin which will perform their play of the same name. The
play sends an important message about HIV/AIDS. Please watch our events
calendar.
Schools:
A recent editorial in the Newsday talks about the possibility of closing the
Roosevelt High School and sending the children to neighboring districts.
Please watch the events calendar and the message board
at Cornelius Court school across from the Van Nees firehouse for the next School
Board meeting.
Fire Department:
Volunteers are needed.
UNITE:
Lenox Plaza neighborhood residents are opposed to a dumpster. They want a
walk-in cooler in the basement. Watch the events
calendar for Board of Zoning Appeals meetings.
June 19, 2000 Meeting
Police Liaison:
P.O. Mike Bartlett and Sgt. Murray.
Officer Bartlett is from the Problem Oriented Police (POP) unit. How often
have we been told by the police liaison that this or that is not a police
matter? In contrast to the regular patrols, the POP unit has the ability
to go out and make contact with other agencies. For example, a number of
illegally parked trucks have been impounded as a result of collaboration between
the Town and the Police. We have many times complained about the
conditions at the Jerusalem and Uniondale Avenues intersection. Now that
the POP unit has been made aware of the problems, perhaps something will get
done.
Obviously, the question on everyone's mind was the beating of a young man,
Eric Rivera, who subsequently died last week. The matter is under
investigation. The homicide department makes its investigation but it does
not share its progress with the other officers until they need to have an arrest
made. The reason is to minimize the possibility of any leaks that might
tip off the guilty party. The community is encouraged to call 911 with
anything that might be even remotely related to the incident.
Some youngsters as young as 7 or 8 have reported that they have been harassed
on their way home from school if they were wearing certain colors commonly
associated with gang membership. Look for a new page soon dedicated to
HEVN (Help End Violence Now). Anyone with any kind of resources to help
end gang related activity in Uniondale is encouraged to come forward. All
the resources of this site are available for that purpose. It must have a
very high priority on everyone's agenda.
The officers encouraged people to always call 911 for fastest response.
(This is in contrast to medical or fire emergencies where you have to call
742-3300 for fastest response). Sgt. Murray said that sometimes it may
take a little while, but somebody will always respond to our calls. This
gave rise to some discussion because this is in contrast to some people's
experience. Some also questioned the commitment of the officers when it is
necessary for someone to call about an abandoned car with no license plates
which has been in the same location for a very long time or any other violation
for that matter which is ongoing. One resident suggested that you have to
keep calling to get results. Doesn't it mean that someone is not doing
their job if you have to call multiple times about the same issue?
One resident has noted that the quality of life has been declining in
Uniondale particularly over the past few years and mentioned as examples that
cars are parked on sidewalks, radios are blaring and several other things we
would characterize as inconsiderate if not illegal. Officer Bartlett
concurred but added that it is not just here, but also in the surrounding
areas. Just keep calling 911. Some of those things can be taken care
of by the police.
Guest speakers:
Greta Kantrowitz and Eustace Thompson - Kindergarten
Judith Marino - Director of Technology
Ray Rhoden - School Board member was also on hand.
Ms. Marino talked about the District's commitment to technology and how it is
being used not just as and end in itself but as one of the tools being utilized
to provide a great education. In order to make the most of the technology,
great efforts are being used to train administrator and teachers. There
will be 6 computers in each class room which is more than most other
districts. There are also computer labs for those occasions where 6 is not
enough. It is my clear impression that the technology department is not
an ivory tower for the technology savvy. It is an integrated part of the
education process, a tool with a purpose and Ms. Marino in addition to being
well versed in technology also has a clear understanding of the business of
educating children.
Ms. Kantrowitz talked about Kindergarten. The children will acquire
skills in a long list of disciplines most important of which are social skills
and language skills. This will form a foundation which will have very long
term effect. Dr. Thompson stressed the importance in that children who are
not at grade level by the 3rd grade will have great difficulty catching up
without the allocation of enormous resources. A commitment has been made
the have no more than 20 children in each class with one teacher and an
aid. As was said at the budget meetings, many more will take advantage of
kindergarten now that it is full day. Exactly how many is hard to estimate
and more will surface even well into September.
Ms. Kantrowitz understands that the reality of life for many parents can make
it difficult. Workshops will be held to teach parents that there are
things you can do to help your child in your everyday life while you are in the
car or when you go shopping. You are encouraged to contact Ms. Kantrowitz
if you would like to help a child develop his/her language skills by reading to
them. I neglected to get her phone number, but call the High School and
hopefully they will know how to direct you.
It is estimated that 40 to 50 of the approximately 400 children currently
enrolled have limited English proficiency. The focus is to teach these
young children English. This is in contrast to the programs available for
children at higher grades. When there are more than 20 children speaking a
certain language and who have limited English skills, there are two programs
available. First, English as a Second Language (ESL) and second, classes
being taught in their native language so that their lack of English will not
prevent them from learning math, science, etc.
May 15, 2000 Meeting
As so many times before, numerous problems with traffic violations such as
speeding, not respecting stop signs and illegal parking were reported. One
resident also observed that Officers ignored violations even when pointed out to
them. It looks like we have to look at why all these violations continue
to exist. Problem with congregation on streets reported and a problem with
a plant sale facility on the corner of Leonard and Jerusalem.
Youth Project:
Susan Kerns delivered the youth report because Lorraine Danser was attending the
the Nassau County Legislature's evening session in an effort to obtain more
funding for the program. The dance program has ended with its annual
recital which was a great success. This year's performance will be hard to
top. The success is due in no small measure to Program Director Shari
Vallone and her staff who did an outstanding job organizing this event.
Their dedication and enthusiasm went well beyond the call of duty. Please
help return funding to the Youth Program by writing letters
or making cash donations. There are
additional needy children who need scholarship for the summer camp
program. The center has received a grant from the Nassau County Police
Department for two trained people to work with gang related activities.
This grant will not help close the budget gap as it is merely to fund this
additional service that is provided. The center will be able to operate
until September. With your help it will operate beyond that.
Guest Speaker:
Neal Lewis - Long Island Neighborhood
Network
Developers have their eye on developing the 70 acres of land where the Coliseum
is now situated. To make it easier to get approval for such an
undertaking, the proposal would include rebuilding the Coliseum, building a
parking structure and building a train track from the Mineola station. The
rest of the property would be filled with hotels and stores. The project
is normally referred to as the Nassau Hub and really includes an area roughly
bordered by Old Country Road and Hempstead Turnpike and Eisenhower Park and
Clinton Street. That area also includes the Roosevelt Raceway property for
which approval was won 1989. A large portion of this area lies within the
boundaries of Uniondale. The Neighborhood Network wants a moratorium on
approval of any new large scale development project. Already approved
projects will continue. The Network wants to redefine the scope from
rebuilding the Coliseum to tackling transportation in one of the most congested
areas in the County. Now that the focus is on transportation the Federal
government was able to step in with funds for a so-called Major Investment Study
(.5 mio dollars). The study is expected to take a couple of years.
This is a time that can be used to get ideas to surface for the future of this
large area. The Nassau Hub Citizens Advisory Committee consisting of
representatives from numerous community organizations has been formed.
Please consult your local civic organizations such as the Uniondale Community
Council, UNITE and Nostrand Gardens Civic Association for information and
input. We will try to keep you informed here as best we can. At the
same time we urge the representatives who participate in the Committee's
meetings to use this web site to inform the community.
School Budget:
Gene Levenstein from the School District answered budget related questions from
the floor. We are pleased to be able to inform you that the proposed
budget has passed and our youngsters can continue to receive a quality education
for another year.
Memorial Day Parade:
Who wants to march and who wants to drive?
Auxilliary Police:
There are 16 officers and 4 cars in Uniondale. Many more volunteers are
needed. Please call 516-522-6133 if interested.
Concerns about cleanliness at the Caribbean Supermarket near Jerusalem and
Uniondale Avenues. A new contractor is trucking garbage to the incinerator
facility and some trucks have been seen on Uniondale Avenue where they are not
allowed to go.
UNITE:
A public hearing will be held regarding the senior citizen housing proposed to
be built where St. Martha's parking lot is now near Greengrove and
Jerusalem. Watch for details on our events
calendar.
April 17, 2000 Meeting
Murray Campbell, Ex-Chief, Uniondale Fire Department:
Check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Your will receive envelopes for your tax deductible donations around May 1.
There will be a parade and block party on June 17 at 6:00 p.m. starting at
the Brookside Fire House and ending at the Sherman Van Nees Fire House where the
block party will be.
For quicker response remember to call 742-3300, not 911, for both medical and
fire emergencies. Continue to use 911 for police emergencies.
The Department has new brochures for its recruitment efforts. New
members are needed.
Lorraine Danser, Youth Project:
There will be a pancake breakfast on April 30. The proceeds will be used
to provide scholarship for the summer camp for some children whose families lost
everything in a recent fire. Ad space may be purchased on the place
mats. Donations are also accepted. Please help any way you can.
The dance recital will take place on May 13 at the High School.
There will be a march from St. Martha's to Cedar Street Park on May 20 at
9:00 a.m. The march is sponsored by the Uniondale Clergy Coalition and the
Nassau County Police Department and is a part of the efforts to increase our
awareness of gang activity in our community.
Dr. Cannie, Superintendent of Schools:
The new construction to accommodate the restructuring is just about completed on
time and under budget. The Board will ask for your approval to use the
remainder, approximately two million dollars, for additional class rooms at the
High School to accommodate 9th grade. Ninth grade used to be at the two
Junior High Schools. Kindergarten will now be full day instead of half
day. Plans for pre-kindergarten are on hold because of lack of space as a
result of growth in enrollment. So when you see an increase in your
property taxes, it does reflect an increase in services.
While on the subject of enrollment, the 700+ new housing units at the former
Roosevelt Raceway together with the 60 new units at Stratford Farms will present
a problem for the District. Dr. Cannie feels that the District has been
involved in the planning process too late.
Dr. Cannie promised to make the proposed budget available on the District's
web site.
Drs. Mangum and Smith, the two Board members whose terms are up have not
filed for re-election at the end of the deadline. The two candidates who
will then run unopposed are Greta Kantrowich and Sonia Oxford.
UNITE: There will be a Community Forum on May 11 at the Library from
7:00 to 9:00.

February 28, 2000 Meeting
Jeannine Maynard, one of the program directors for the UCC Youth Project made a
presentation of the programs the children are involved in and displayed some of
the work they had done. The Youth Project is still struggling with its
budget problems, but there will be a summer camp program this year after
all. Registration is March 24th. The program is usually filled
within the first 10 minutes, so you need to call the center for exact time and
be there early. You can find the number at the Youth Project's web page at
http://uccinc.homestead.com/uccyp.html
where you may also find a link to their fund raising page where you may
purchase many of the items that you would ordinarily buy elsewhere anyway.
A portion of what you pay will go to the program.
Police Officer Danzi talked about the mentorship program. He is the
mentor for a 2nd grade class at the Northern Parkway school where he also
participated in their career day.
Some marijuana related arrests have been made in the vicinity of the
library.
A gang awareness meeting will be held at Grace Cathedral on Jerusalem Avenue
on March 4, 2000 at 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is important to be
there. You will meet some of the people in the community who make a
difference and you will learn much about what gangs are and what they do.
With fines at only $15 overnight commercial street parking is a problem.
Laura Sanchez from California Avenue lead the hand chimes choir "Chimes
2K" in "We Shall Overcome." Very appropriate in February,
Black History Month. "Chimes 2K" has even appeared on News 12.
Two members of the Uniondale High School track team and their coach told
about their accomplishments which are truly impressive only rivaled by their
academic accomplishments. Many track team members have ended up in Ivy
League colleges over the years.
Scented candles are popular, but they are also dangerous. Please be
careful and check your carbon monoxide detector.
The Fire Department has a junior fire fighter program for 13 to 18 year
olds. Please contact the Fire Department if you would like to
participate. 25% of the fire fighters do not live in Uniondale and there
is a shortage of volunteers. Again, contact the Fire Department if you
would like to learn more about becoming a fire fighter. You may even
increase your value to your employer. Employers get an insurance discount
when they have a qualified fire fighter on the premises.
For fire or ambulance, call 742-3300, not 911. Response time will be
quicker.
The historic farm stand will be moved to Uniondale Park where it will be
turned into a museum. The Fire Commission and the Vocational Education
Board will be vacating the buildings between Turtle Hook JHS and Holly
Patterson. UNITE is monitoring what will happen to
the previously County owned land now owned by the Public Benefit
Corporation.
The water tower near Hempstead Boulevard needs to be painted.
Five stores will be built on the site previously occupied by Dairy Barn on
Uniondale Avenue even though they had to rely on municipal parking spaces to
fulfill the off-street parking requirements.
January 24, 2000 Meeting
If you went to this meeting and took notes, please let me know and I will post
them here. Contact the webmaster: finn@11553.com
December 20, 1999 Meeting
Our police liaison reports that the arrest of one person lead to the arrest of
others effectively putting and end to a recent rash of burglaries of robberies.
The existence of the Youth Project is threatened by County budget cuts.
Cuts may be as deep as 50% leaving only enough money for fixed expenses but not
staff effectively shutting down the project. You are encouraged to contact
your County Legislator to support the project.
Until the issue has been resolved, a link to a special crisis page will remain
on the Home Page of this site. We will also use
that page to keep you up to date as the situation progresses.
The Uniondale High School Bassoon and Baritone Ensemble treated us to their
special flavor of a delightful collection of holiday music.
The historic farm stand still doesn't have a permanent home. U.N.I.T.E.
is in the process of collecting memorabilia which will be posted on their
page of this site in the near future.
Another large laundromat may open on the corner of Smith Street and Jerusalem
Avenue. We need to monitor this in light of the experience we have from
the other large laundromat on Jerusalem across from St. Martha's where lint
emission and odor is a serious problem.
Tickets for the Annual Dinner Dance are available from Bertha Pruitt at
239-6244 (Ext. 263) or Noel Charles at
489-3461 for $47. The dance will take place on Friday, January 28, 2000 at
the Marriott.
Four new honorary trustees will be installed: Ms. Isabel Bello, Mr.
Arthur Katz, Dr. Phillip Smith and Mr. Thomas Toscano. Isabel Bello for
