Letter: Nassau Is Safe

To All Nassau County residents, Nassau is one of the safest counties in the nation with overall crime at historic lows. We would like to keep it that way, but we need your help. Some crimes are difficult to prevent, but one crime you can help prevent is property theft, which happens largely from automobiles. Protect yourself by always locking your car, even in your driveway, and never leave your pocketbook, wallet, keys, and electronic devices visible from outside the car. 

Remember, if you see suspicious activity, dial 911.

Letter: Cluster-Flush

I read “Will Sewers Save the Beach?” by Jill Nossa in the April 12, issue of the Record Pilot with great interest. It makes fascinating reading about a mucky subject. Thank you!

Last spring I visited Mayor Suozzi’s office to discuss the contamination of Crescent Beach. I was impressed to see that his office was at the hub of a multi-agency effort to reduce the pollution and reopen the beach.

Since that time I have communicated with NY Assemblyman Charles Lavine, Glen Cove City Councilman Anthony Gallo, and Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi. I learned that the problem is not an easy fix. There are seventy properties in the area around Crescent Beach that are not connected to Glen Cove’s sewer system. As Legislator DeRiggi explained to me, some of the larger and older properties have many old cesspools that have been inactive for years and some of the owners don’t even know where they are located. They may be leaching toxic waste and overflowing into LI Sound. 

Letter: Justifiable Coaching?

The situation in the Glen Cove School District is disturbing for everyone.

When the dust clears however, there might be some fallout that is unforeseen at this moment. 

From my limited perspective, the press, the DA, and the public are presently failing to immediately recognize and/or consider what could very well be a problem not yet fully identified and one that is universal and systemic throughout public education circles in New York.

A Tree Fell… Someone Heard It

Yes, they were hoping that if trees fell throughout Nassau County and no one was there to hear it, they could say it must not have happened. 

Well, people were there. We heard it. We saw it. And now the administration of County Edward Mangano, the office of Comptroller George Maragos and the Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature are starting to hear from brave residents, environmentalists and good-government groups. 

Letter: Casinos In Nassau?

My name is Giancarlo Pagliara and I am a resident of Glen Cove and freshman at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. While researching a school project I learned about a disturbing issue, casinos.

Letter: Taste Of Spring

The North Shore High School PTO just hosted A Taste of Spring, its second annual fundraiser at the Sea Cliff Yacht Club on Saturday, March 9. It was a night of food, wine, and beer tasting from local restaurants and vendors. The evening was filled with good friends toasting, tasting and talking the night away. North Shore High School’s very own DJ, Dr. Gerver, provided great sounds!

Letter: Vote Of Confidence

I wish to thank the residents of Sea Cliff for their vote of support in my campaign for Village Trustee. Although this was an uncontested election your vote of confidence translates into a message of community interest and a mutual concern for our village.

 I look forward to hearing your voice and working together with Mayor Bruce Kennedy and the Board of Trustees for the betterment of Sea Cliff.
