Music To Their Ears

Friday, 08 March 2013 00:00

Anissa Arnold (standing, right), director of music and performing arts for the Herricks Union Free School District, traveled to Long Beach Middle School to deliver instruments to some very appreciative music students, teachers and administrators of Long Beach Public Schools.

After seeing the devastation wrought by Superstorm Sandy, the Herricks High School music department reached out to Long Beach Middle School, a neighbor on the south shore of Long Island, to help the Long Beach School District music department replace instruments ruined by flooding. To raise money, Herricks High School students hosted a “Herricks Idol” contest.

The show was a complete sellout, with the proceeds, totaling $2,500, going to Long Beach’s music department. Long Beach music teachers Dave Lobenstein and Doug Renoud were invited to help judge the contest.

Herricks High School Music Department, Tri-M Music Honor Society and Herricks Music Boosters organized a community instrument drive, collecting over a dozen instruments and other music supplies for donation to Long Beach Schools.

New Hyde Park still seeking Sandy-related FEMA reimbursements

New Hyde Park is still awaiting Superstorm Sandy FEMA reimbursements, Mayor Robert Lofaro revealed. The village operates on a budget of about $5.8 million.

Public works superintendent Tom Gannon and village clerk Cathryn Hillmann spent numerous hours on forms and expenses for storm reimbursement. Lofaro said the fund balance is tiny and that if, say $300,000 was spent, the fund needs to be replenished quickly.
