The New York State AuthoritiesBudget Office sent a letter of censureto the Water Authority ofSoutheastern Nassau County becauseof its failure to comply with statelaw, said a press release issued bythat office.
In a letter dated April 2, DirectorDavid Kidera wrote that WASENCfailed to file annual and auditreports for the 2011 fiscal year anda budget report for the fiscal yearending in 2013.
“As of April 2, [WASENC] remainsout of compliance with the publicdisclosure, reporting and corporategovernance provisions of PublicAuthorities Law. Accordingly, pur-suant to its powers under Section6(2)(f) of Public Authorities Law, theABO is sending this official letter ofcensure to the board of directors ofthe Water Authority of Southeastern
Nassau County,” wrote Mr. Kidera.This censure becomes part of the
public record, said the press release,and disclosure of the letter may berequired by federal securities law,should the authority enter the bondmarket in the future.
WASENC, created by the stateLegislature in 1991 to study acqui-sition of the private water utilitythat services area residents, was re-activated in 2010 to once againdetermine if public purchase ofNew York American Water wouldbenefit residents. At a meeting heldearlier this month, board PresidentRichard Ronan said if an acquisi-tion were to take place it would befinanced with bonds.

Town of Hempsteadcouncilmanic districts approved
by Laura Schofer
The Hempstead Town Boardapproved the new councilmanic dis-tricts, 5-1, after a contentious publichearing Tuesday, April 9.
For the residents of the Bellmores andMerricks, there is little change. Voterswill remain in Councilmanic District 5,represented by Councilwoman AngieCullin of Freeport, and District 6, a townboard seat held by Councilman GaryHudes. Both voted in favor of the newmap.
The map is required to be redrawnevery 10 years to reflect a changing pop-ulation as revealed in the latest census.
The latest federal census showsthere is a growing minority popula-tion in some parts of the Town ofHempstead, including Elmont, ValleyStream, Freeport and Baldwin.
There are approximately 760,000residents in the town. The new maphas a deviation of 5.93% (well withinthe accepted deviation as required bylaw) from the most-populous to theleast-populous district.
However, dozens of residents urgedthe Town Board to put off the vote onthe proposed map in order to weighpublic comment, and to hold addition-al public hearings in the evening whenmore residents are able to attend.
Residents also asked the town boardto consider other proposed maps – onedrawn by the Town of HempsteadDemocratic Committee and the otherby the League of Women Voters, anonpartisan organization, which pro-
posed the creation of two councilman-ic districts in which the majority of itsvoters are from minority communities.
Since 1991 the Town of Hempsteadhas had one such “majority/minori-ty” councilmanic district representedby Councilwoman Goosby thatincludes the Village of Hempstead,Uniondale, Roosevelt, NorthFreeport and North Baldwin.
The new map keeps 99.4% of Ms.Goosby’s district intact, although theMitchel Field, Uniondale area has beenmoved from her district into GardenCity, the predominately white council-manic District 2, along with Elmont.Many thought the minority vote wouldbe diluted in this fashion.
The League of Women Voters sub-mitted its map “incumbent-blind anddriven by the data from the 2010 cen-sus,” said Barbara Epstein, co-presi-dent of the League of Women Votersof East Nassau.
They created two majority minoritydistricts – District 1 includingHempstead, Uniondale, Roosevelt,Freeport and Baldwin; and District 2that would include Elmont, ValleyStream, Lakeview, Malverne and partof Hempstead.
“This District 2 would keep theElmont-Valley Stream community [asone], one that has recently electedminority representatives in the countyLegislature and state Assembly,together in a single district instead ofsplitting it directly in half,” statedMrs. Epstein.

Be aware: April is National Distracted Driving Monthby Wendy Tepfer
Every time a driver takes his or herfocus off the road – even if just for aminute – they put their lives and thelives of others in danger.
This has resulted in a new trafficsafety epidemic that has emerged onroad across our country and it demandsimmediate attention: distracted driving.
A recent National Highway TrafficSafety Administration report stated; “In2011, licensed motorists in the U.S.numbered 212 million while the num-ber answering calls on a mobile devicewas 102 million, and the number mak-ing calls was 50 million. At any givendaylight moment that year, 660,000drivers were using phones or otherelectronic devices while driving.
“In 2010, 3,092 people were killedin crashes involving a distracteddriver, and an estimated additional416,000 people were injured in motorvehicle crashes involving a distracteddriver.” They could be parents, chil-dren, neighbors and friends from theBellmore-Merrick community.
What is distracted driving?Distracted driving is any activity
that could divert a person's attentionaway from the primary task of driv-ing. Distraction occurs any time youtake your eyes off the road, yourhands off the wheel, and your mindoff your primary task: driving safely.
These types of distractions include:
• texting.• using a cellphone or smartphone.• eating and drinking.• talking to passengers.• grooming.• reading maps, books or newspapers.• using a navigation system.• watching a video.• adjusting a radio, CD player or
MP3 player.• regulating climate controls.
All of these distractions endangerthe safety of drivers, passengers andpedestrians. And text messaging isthe most dangerous distraction.
Why? because it requires visual,manual and cognitive attention fromthe driver, all at the same time.
When a text message is sent orread, it takes your eyes off the roadfor 4.6 seconds. At 55 mph, that islike driving the length of a football
field, blindfolded. Texting while driving has been
equated to driving with a BloodAlcohol Content (BAC) of 0.08,which is legally intoxicated – DWI.Text messaging creates a crash risk23 times worse than driving whilenot distracted.
While distracted driving is danger-ous for any driver, it is teenage driv-ers, the youngest and most inexperi-enced drivers, who are most at risk:
• Drivers age 16 to under 20 makeup the greatest proportion of distract-ed drivers.
• 16% of these young drivers involvedin fatal crashes were distracted.
• Lack of driving experience = crit-
ical misjudgments when distracted.
Parents need to talk to their kidsabout the dangers of distracted driv-ing. Most important, they must leadby example. The old “Do as I say, –not as I do” adage no longer works.
Parents are also the biggest influ-ence on how teen drives, so theymust think about their own drivingbehaviors. Please be a positive rolemodel. It’s not just good parenting,it’s a matter of life and death.
Distracted driving is unsafe, irre-sponsible and, in a split-second, itsconsequences can be devastating.
Take the Community Parent CenterSafe Driving Pledge:
• Promise to turn off your cell-phone or smartphone.
• No texts, call, emails or posts.• Drive without distractions. • Ask everyone you know to do the
same. • Ask yourself: Is it worth it?• Please hang up and drive safely:
no one is that important.Educational materials can be
obtained by visiting the CommunityParent Center Website at www.com-munityparentcenter.org, or by calling771-9346.
Wendy Tepfer is executive directorof the Community Parent Center.

The other marathonMonday was Patriot Day in Boston, meant to celebrate the
bravery of our founding fathers. But it was also another darkerkind of day, with blasts at the finish line of the Boston Marathonkilling an eight-year-old child, among others, and proving thatevil still lurks.
They set off another kind of marathon, with first respondersand emergency medical personnel working furiously to save many,many lives. They are the real heroes of the day, the true patriots.
Let's not forget to thank the first responders who live andwork among us every day, who just as suddenly could onceagain be called upon to help in a disaster, natural or manmade.
Rolling over in his graveThat’s what Benjamin Franklin, newspaper publisher,
Founding Father, and the nation’s first postmaster would bedoing. Saturday mail has been saved for the moment, but the postoffice continues to operate at a loss, partly because it has to pre-fund pensions, something no other department is required to do.
To compensate, it is attempting to balance its books by priva-tizing as much as possible and going after the most profitablebusiness, instead of adhering to its mandate of securing commu-nication for all, which is crucial and necessary in a democracy.
Our newspaper subscribers are incensed when they do notreceive their newspaper on time because we are bumped byPennysavers, even though periodicals class is supposed toreceive faster service than standard class. It is both frustratingto us and heartwarming when you call, but why not let yourlocal post office know? Here are some numbers for you:Bellmore 781-0579; Freeport 378-6512; Merrick 378-7087;Seaford 785-3851; and Wantagh 785-3425.
No poem as lovely as a treeSuperstorm Sandy took down many, many trees and electrical
lines with them. Homes were damaged when trees fell on them.It is no wonder that now in the spring so many homeownershave decided to take down perfectly healthy trees in order toprotect their homes in future storms.
Are we headed towards the “Queensification” of our com-munity? It would be sad to lose so many trees for their shade,for the way they clean the air, for the sake of the birds andwildlife that live in them, and for the protection from erosionthat their roots provide.
The Town of Hempstead offers help with replacing storm-damaged trees, preferably in the fall. Next week both Earth Dayand Arbor Day are observed, and trees bought from the ArborDay Foundation help support the environment worldwide.Local nurseries stand ready to provide advice on which treescan replace those taken down.
It is said that every man should plant a tree (and write a bookand have a child) in his lifetime. Let’s each plant a tree that, asJoyce Kilmer wrote, “lifts its leafy arms to pray.” After Sandy,we can use all the prayers we can get.

Many of us enjoy walking aroundbarefoot as the warm weather comesaround but, unfortunately, this leaves ushighly susceptible to contracting warts.
The type of wart most common to befound on the feet and toes are plantarwarts. They can be found on the bot-tom of our feet, typically on the heeland/or ball, but can appear anywhere.
Plantar warts are caused by a virus,specifically, the human papillomavirus.Some people may come in contact withthe virus but may not become infected.Even people of the same family responddifferently to the virus.
Different factors play a role in this,but mostly it all depends on how ourimmune system reacts to the virus.
The virus enters through tiny open-ings, cuts or abrasions in the skin,especially when our skin is wet orwater logged. Once the virus enters, itcan spontaneously resolve or it canbecome a painful lesion. If leftuntreated, warts can become verypainful and can spread to other areasof the skin.
Plantar warts thrive in warm, moistenvironments. This makes it verycommon to contract the virus whenwalking barefoot in areas such as pub-lic restrooms, locker rooms and publicswimming areas.
Plantar warts are often mistaken fora corn or callus. A way to differentiate
is that warts will appear with blackpinpoint spots. If you notice these pin-point spots then you may want to haveyour podiatrist take a look at it todetermine if it is a plantar wart.
The best prevention technique toavoid getting a plantar wart is wearingshoes, especially around the pool andwhen using a public bathroom.
Also, do not share socks or shoeswith others. The incubation period forthis virus is up to three months, soeven though you may share shoesand/or socks with people who do notshow symptoms for the virus, it is pos-sible they can be spreading it withoutknowing it.
Change socks and shoes daily andkeep your feet dry and clean. Theseprevention techniques are helpful in
fighting against other unwantedorganisms as well.
There are different treatmentoptions to get rid of plantar warts.One treatment option is cryosurgeryto eliminate warts. This is a minimal-ly invasive procedure that uses verylow temperatures to destroy the virus.
This treatment has barely any sideeffects and allows patients to continueregular activities without interruption.It is highly suggested that self-treat-ment of warts be avoided, as doing socan harm healthy tissue, which can beextremely painful.
If you suspect that you may have aplantar wart, call the board-certifiedpodiatrists at Livingston Foot CareSpecialists at 1685 Newbridge Roadin North Bellmore, at 826-0103.

Ride to Montauk event nearsby Dylan Campbell
With the Ride to Montauk 108-milebiking event June 1 date looming,fundraising is a main priority forKatie Neary.
The leukemia research fundraiserhas been a large priority for Ms.Neary. Her motivation began fouryears ago with diagnosis of herdaughter’s best friend. From thatmoment on her daughter’s friend’shealth improved and Ms. Neary’smotivation has remained.
The annual event plays a big role inMs. Neary’s life all year, betweentraining as well as fundraising. Theminimum donation starts at $1,800,but that number is only a minimumgoal for her.
All year she has sold lollipops for adollar each to help hit this goal. Thesedelicious donations can be bought athttp://pages.teamintraining.org/li/montjune13/KatieNeary.
Ms. Neary bikes all year and main-tains a healthy diet. As the dateapproaches she begins training everySunday with her team at Absolutely Fit.
Absolutely Fit is not only the sitefor her cycling training but was thelocation for her “Spin for a Cure”event. On Saturday, Ms. Neary, withthe help of owner Susan Sachs, hosteda two-hour, $20 spinathon thatgrossed a total of $700 for the cause.
With the help of the event Ms.Neary has now raised about $2,000for her biking fundraiser that helpspush for a cure.
The event was a success because ofthe attendance of spinners, runners,athletes and survivors. The music, theenergy and the sponsors, Metro Modesand Trader Joe’s, developed a warmand motivating yet exciting mood.
Ms. Neary said, “Everyone walkedaway feeling good, nobody wanted toget off the bikes. The people havebeen so great paying it forward. I’mstill on cloud nine.”
She concluded, “I am so motivatedby the people, the attitude and moti-vation for a cure. A special thanks forhelp and motivation to Susan Sachs.”
With this kind of dedication andmotivation the Ride to Montauk willbe a exhilarating event.

Town of Hempstead councilmanic districts approved
But Town Attorney Joseph Ra repeated-ly asserted that the map met all require-ments under the United States Constitutionand the federal Voting Rights Act of oneperson-one vote.
He added that there was not “enough ofa demographic change and would weakenCouncilmanic District 1 if we created asecond majority/minority district.”
“You simply have to look at the popula-tion changes which have occurred over thelast 10 years in the Town of Hempstead,”said Ms. Epstein in a written statement she
read earlier in the meeting. “With less than a 0.5% increase in total
town population since the 2000 census, wehave seen a significant change in the loca-tion of people and their numbers, as veri-fied by the 2010 census. In the Town ofHempstead, the 2010 census showed thatthe non-Hispanic white population shrankby 12.6% since 2000 and is now just under60% of the total. On the other hand, thenon-Hispanic black population grew10.7% and the Hispanic populationincreased by 52.5%. These numbers, thisdata clearly indicate that there is a requisiteneed to create a second majority/minority
district,” she continued.But the board was not swayed by this
argument. The one African-Americanmember of the town board, DemocratDorothy Goosby, voted in favor of theRepublican-drawn map.
“We must adhere to the one vote-oneperson rule. The census requires someredistricting and we had to shed someareas. I’m not pleased but it had to bedone,” she said.
“During my representation these [minor-ity] communities have had fair representa-tion and been able to petition for our fairshare of resources. My district is largely
unchanged.”“I was not consulted on the other map
and I’m voting in favor of this map,” shesaid. Afterwards, many African-American residents were stunned by Ms.Goosby’s vote.
Town Councilwoman Angie Cullin,Councilman Tony Santino, CouncilmanGary Hudes and Councilman EdwardAmbrosino also voted in favor of the map.
Councilman James Darcy voted againstthe map. Town Supervisor Kate Murraydid not attend the hearing due to illness,said Councilman Santino.

Dr. Leon Livingston, Dr. Douglas Livingston and theirassociates at Livingston Foot Care Specialists.
Do you suffer from a painful bunion? Now thereʼs a new techno-logically advanced surgical procedure that will allow you to walkimmediately after the procedure,with minimal down time, Nocrutches, no cast and early return to work. The surgeons atLivingston Foot Care specialists have extensive training andexperienced in this technologically advanced procedure.
A bunion is a poorly aligned big toe joint. The big toe may point to-ward the second toe causing a bump on the outside edge of thetoe. This poorly aligned joint will lead to many complications in-cluding arthritis including inflammatory or degenerative forms,causing the protective cartilage that covers your big toe joint todeteriorate. This is why it is important to treat your bunion de-formity.
Bunions are often caused by an inherited foot type, foot in-juries, and certain deformities and can be exacerbated byhigh heels or ill fitted shoes. This may lead to swelling, red-ness, or soreness around the big toe joint, thickening of theskin at the base of the big toe, corns or calluses, pain, andrestricted movement of the big toe. By pushing the big toeinward, a bunion can squeeze your other toes into abnor-mal positions. Over time, this crowding can lead to con-tractures the other toes known as hammertoes.
A bunion may be treated conservatively with suchmodalities as utilizing wider shoes with a higher toebox, paddings, strappings,ice, anti-inflammatorymedications, custom molded foot orthotics, and in-jection therapy, which can help alleviate the symp-toms associated with a bunion. If theseconservative modalities fail to resolve the symp-toms then surgical management is an optionand the new technology available today canfix this condition with minimal down timeand early return to work.
