board at Block Institute in New York City, a nonprofit agency that seeks to improve the lives of disabled people and their families. He served as a board member, secretary, vice president and, from 2001 to 2003, president, and is still active on the organization’s board. His first attempt at raising money was as a participant in a triathlon in 2004, and he raised $10,000 for the institute. “Through activegiving.com, I created my own sponsorship website and asked the world to sponsor me and donate money,” he explained. “People want to help the people who are doing the heavy lifting. In the beginning, a lot of people would say, ‘I’m on my couch doing nothing and you’re out there running; the least I could do is write you a check.’ But eventually they said, ‘It’s getting expensive to be friends with you!’” Six years ago, Greenbaum was asked to join the Board of Directors of the Peninsula Counseling Center in Valley Stream, where he is now president. “He gives 110 percent of himself in everything he does,” said Audrey Goodman, the PCC’s community relations coordinator, who calls Greenbaum “the marathon man.” He raised $35,000 for the center when he ran the Long Island Marathon. Peninsula Counseling Center is challenged to continue offering services while New York state slashes its annual budgets and restructures Medicaid reimbursements, he said. “While budgets are being squeezed because of the economy, the services are needed now more than ever before,” Greenbaum said. “Fundraising is critical to fill in the shortfall.” Steven Sherman, Greenbaum’s business partner at Rockville Benefit Advisors LLC, in Rockville Centre, and a longtime friend, met Greenbaum at the Lawrence Tennis Club nearly 20 years ago. They ended up working together by accident. “We were having a conversation over a bagel, and I asked, ‘What do you do?’ and he said, ‘Same as you,’” Sherman recalled. “I thought he was an attorney, but he said he was in the insurance business, so I told him maybe we could do something together.” Two weeks later, Greenbaum came to work with Sherman at Wall and William Financial Group in New York City, and eventually the pair opened Rockville Benefit Advisors. “Eighteen years later we’re best of friends and partners,” Sherman said. He added that he admires Greenbaum’s charitable work and his ability to be active around the clock. “He’s got a different time clock from the rest of us because he’s doing work when some of us are still sleeping,” Sherman said. “He’s high-energy, high-motivation and is actively involved while still finding time to go golfing, play tennis and be a good family man.” Greenbaum’s family — daughters Jessica, 25, Jaclyn, 23, Lana, 22, Ivy, 17, and Abigail, 14, and his wife of 19 years, Pam — support him in

More than $6,000 raised in support of David Gerges — More than 300 people attended a benefit at the Five Towns Community Center on Jan. 14 for David Gerges — one of the two victims of a New Year’s Day hit-and-run incident in Cedarhurst — to raise money for Gerges’ medical expenses. Victoria Behar helped organize the benefit and said a little more than $6,000 was raised from the benefit. Behar said food was donated from local restaurants such as Mother Kelly’s in Cedarhurst and individuals brought various dishes to the event. There was a live band, DJ and raffles. Tom Jordan, the other victim of the hit-and-run who suffered a broken leg, attended and assisted with the raffles.
Following several years of proposed plans, the Woodmere Rehabilitation Center & Health Center on Franklin Place in Woodmere received approval from the Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals for requested height and parking variances to construct a new five-story building. The new facility will have 280 beds, which is less than the 336 beds the center has currently. Parking for the center will increase, however, from its 110 current spaces to 134.

He is now planning to raise money for the PCC and the Block Institute by participating in the 2012 Ironman U.S. Championship in New York City and New Jersey next Aug. 11. Following the format of other Ironman triathlons, it will consist of a 2.4-mile swim in the Hudson River, a 112mile bike leg on the Palisades Parkway and a 26.2mile run starting in Fort Lee, N.J., and finishing in Riverside Park in Manhattan. Thinking of the people who sponsor his charitable efforts helps sustain him when he competes in these sometimes staggeringly difficult events, Greenbaum explained. “You think about all the people who support your efforts and it helps push you through,” he said. “It really does.” He insists that when he competes, his finish times are not as important as the money he raises. “I’m in the ‘martini lane,’ and I hang back and let the other guys around me go ahead,” he said. “Any race you finish is a good race.”

Finding hope and help in Cedarhurst Abused as a child, taken advantage of as a working adult and homeless when most people are thinking of retirement, Avi Mandel endured a difficult life, but thanks to several people in Cedarhurst and a fortuitous meeting with a stranger, it took a turn for the better. Mandel, 57, was left adrift in 2004, when, after 30 years of caring for a disabled member of a North Woodmere family, his servic-
es were no longer needed. On the streets of Cedarhurst, he slept in office buildings, a train station bathroom and a vacant store. His luck changed when a number of store owners in Cedarhurst helped him with money, food, discounted services and storage, and he received a monetary settlement from the MTA due to a bus accident.

Demographics shift in the Five Towns Following the ebb and flow of the past 10 years, the latest census figures demonstrate that there are significant population changes in the Five Towns and its surrounding communities. The biggest change was in Inwood, where there was a large influx of Hispanics in the last decade. The community saw a 70 percent increase in the Latino population as numbers increased from 889 in 1990 to 2,454 in 2000 and to 4,190 in 2010. The white population in Inwood decreased 5.3 percent, the African-American population decreased 1.9 percent and the Asian population increased 70.5 percent; from 190 in 2000 to 324 in 2010. Inwood’s total population increased to 9,325.

Lawrence native Murray Handwerker of Nathan’s Famous
Science award winners
Murray Handwerker, a Lawrence native and the former president of Nathan’s Famous, the hot dog fast-food chain based in Coney Island, died on May 14 at his home in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He was 89. Five years before he was born in Brooklyn on July 25, 1921, his parents, Nathan and Ida, opened the original Nathan’s Famous at Coney Island. After graduating from New York University in 1947, Handwerker went to work for his parents and in the 1950s revitalized the restaurant, Roadside Rest of Oceanside, and transformed it into the first Nathan’s Famous location outside of Coney Island.
Three high school seniors from the Five Towns competed as finalists in the 2011 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angles, Calif., from May 8 to 13. Nathan Akhavan and Benjamin Goldman, students at Rambam Mesivta High School in Lawrence, won as the first place team and received $3,000 from the U.S. Air Force and took third place and collected $1,000 in the Grand Awards in the Energy and Transportation category. Inwood resident and then Lawrence High School senior Abraham Killanin won $1,000 from the National Anti-Vivisection Society for his project, conducted with partner Evan Schneider of Roslyn High School.
When Handwerker returned from World War II in 1946 he began working with his parents. Just 22 years later, he turned the family business into a national fast-food chain.

Meshing local diversity Opening up a dialogue, complementing each other and working together are the three main objectives of the resurgent “Five Towns — One Community” organization. More than 40 individuals representing a variety of groups that operate in and around the Five Towns attended the “Corned Beef for the Community” luncheon at Traditions Restaurant spearheaded by Five Towns Community Chest Director Bob Block and Lawrence School District administrators Gary Schall and Pat Pizzarelli.
Schools chief can carry a tune Gary Schall, 57, who became Lawrence’s superintendent on July 1, has not only the administrative background to make executive decisions, but also the musical background to note the parallels between the world’s longest symphonies and his district’s fiscal plan. Schall took over the superintendent’s job after a year as deputy superintendent. The Board of Education made what he thought was a smart move by designating a year of transition between Dr. John Fitzsimons, who retired on June 30, and Schall.

A Brooklyn man was convicted on July 1 for shooting and killing a 20-year-old Woodmere man after what authorities called a “botched robbery attempt” ended with Tristan Theodore being shot in the back while he attempted to escape from a moving vehicle last year. Edward Williams, 30, was convicted of murder-first degree, kidnapping-first degree, robberysecond degree, burglary-first degree and criminal possession of a weapon-second degree. On June 15, 2010 at 1:40 a.m., Theodore and a friend returned to Theodore’s South End Avenue home from Elmont and were confronted by Williams and Anthony Jackson, who forced the two men into the house and downstairs to the basement. There they were bound with duct tape and told to surrender their cash and valuables. Williams was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in November. Jackson, who was convicted of felony murder in September, is awaiting sentencing.

IN BRIEF Coliseum vote fails
Nassau County voters overwhelmingly said “no” to a proposal to borrow $400 million to build a new Coliseum and minor league ballpark on Aug. 1. Nearly 89,000 of more than 155,000 ballots cast opposed the referendum, while just fewer than 67,000 were in favor, according to unofficial results on Aug. 2. The vote leaves the future of the New York Islanders in doubt, with their lease set to expire in 2015. Team owner Charles Wang said he was disappointed by the results but would not say what his next step would be. However, he has previously stated that it would be unlikely that the team would continue to play in the current arena beyond then.
Tropical Storm Irene strikes the Five Towns There was widespread damage to the beach clubs in Atlantic Beach, the county’s evacuation order made life difficult for Lawrence residents observing Shabbos, and flooded roads and downed power lines throughout the Five Towns made driving hazardous. Hurricane Irene came and went, but left her mark across Long Island. Downgraded to a tropical storm as it passed over the metropolitan area, the massive storm brought heavy rains and high
winds that caused local flooding, toppled trees and power lines and left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity. The South Shore felt the brunt of the storm early Sunday morning on Aug. 28, between 2 and 5 a.m. By the time most residents awoke, the rain had passed, but heavy winds continued to blow throughout the day. The Long Island Power Authority reported that at the height of the storm, 500,000 homes and businesses lost electrical power.
Nassau closes Inwood DPW garage Nassau County officially closed the Department of Public Works garage on Alameda Avenue in Inwood on July 28. Residents and firefighters think this will impede emergency response time as they wait for trucks and equipment to come from the Bay Park facility in East Rockaway during snowstorms and emergencies. Inwood’s 14 trucks and 15 employees were transferred to Bay Park. It costs between $45,000 to $50,000 annually to operate the Inwood yard, county officials said. The closure also eliminated the need to spend as much as $4 million to renovate the Inwood facility.
Clean up for toxic plume The Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would begin clean up the Peninsula Boulevard Groundwater Contamination Superfund site, a toxic plume at the former Grove Cleaners, at 1274 Peninsula Blvd. in Hewlett. Caused by tetrachloroethylene, a dry-cleaning fluid also known as PCE, the contamination extends 400 feet north and 1,000 feet south of Peninsula Boulevard. It affected the groundwater, but residents who live near the site use water from Long Island American Water’s Jameco Aquifer, 1,000 feet north of the plume, so they face no current risk. The plume was discovered and investigated between 1991 and 1999, when the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation removed sediments in the soil, tested the groundwater and determined that it was contaminated.

At the first of four town hall meetings to be held through the school year, Lawrence School District administrators introduced the “new Lawrence” plan in response to the district’s low scores on standardized state exams. It aims to help struggling students while challenging average students and maintaining Advanced Placement classes for high-achieving students. The plan includes four components: Data Driven Instruction, Social Emotional Learning, Response to Intervention and Common Core Learning Standards.
Dr. Norman Amer dies at 81 “He was born in a log cabin,” was Dr. Scott Amer’s response to the question of where his father grew up, and that answer helps explain the legacy of love and humor that, by all accounts, Dr. Norman Amer of Woodmere left his four children and dozen grandchildren when he died on Sept. 13.

Bialostok added 15 rebounds and sophomore Eddie Robinson had eight points and 10 boards. “It’s a great feeling,” Lawrence coach Peter Linderman said.

Hewlett duo wins doubles Hewlett’s two singles players, senior J.J. Tauil and junior Dan Grinshteyn, weren’t new to playing doubles together when coach Ron Remick paired them in the Nassau County championships. “I used them in practice to challenge our top doubles team,” Remick said. “It’s different than singles, but J.J. and Dan are both tall and strong net players with plenty of endurance from USTA tournaments.” All of the above came in handy when Tauil and Grinshteyn made a spirited run to the title May 21 at Oceanside High School. They lost just one of seven sets and became the first Bulldogs to qualify for the state tournament in almost 10 years. Tauil and Grinshteyn upset top-seeded Kevin Katz and Stephen Peng from Syosset in three sets (7-5, 5-7, 6-2) in the semifinals.

House For Sale
My best advice: follow the rules Q. It’s getting more expensive to build, and I’m really having problems finding a contractor to do a job. I don’t want to have to get a permit but plan to build to code, and I don’t need a licensed contractor who has expensive insurance. I have plenty of family and friends who can do this job, but I want to know if I’ll get “stuck” later for having done this. I have to save the money and will take my chances, but what should I know so I don’t have a problem I can’t get out of later? A. That’s like asking a criminal attorney for the best method to beat the system because you’re planning to rob a bank. Maybe the attorney can even drive the getaway driver. What you can be “stuck” with is myriad problems I can only guess at, based on the fact that building to code these days is like playing Monopoly with a 4-year-old. The rules keep changing, and you can’t win against a 4-year-old or the codes. For example, many ONTE EEPER municipalities are changing, and changing again, their local zoning requirements, so what’s passable today may not be in a year or two. Window sizes and flood requirements have changed, energy requirements and fire protection are next up to be instituted, and plumbing systems may be right behind. I work with many people who are “stuck” when trying to sell their homes but have construction that wasn’t permitted. Some come unraveled when told that the home they’ve lived in for years needs costly changes to meet current codes because of updates. The codes do have provisions for existing buildings, but still have issues that can’t be “grandfathered.” Just because you lived there and used something the way it was for a long time is meaningless to an official whose job is to enforce regulations or face their own consequences if they don’t. It’s ironic that codes were put in place for our protection, but can have the opposite effect because more people these days are opting to do what you’re planning to, leading to less-safe structures that, skirting the authorities, may cause injury, even death, and/or legal problems, and lead insurance companies to not settle. You need to save money. We all do. The best advice I can give is the same advice I give to those who tell me, up front, that they’re not going to file plans for permits and will be doing the job themselves. It’s my job, as a professional, to advise you to follow the law and to prepare documents that meet the legal requirements of your state and local jurisdiction. Fortunately, using computers, we can revise plans without a lot of messy eraser dust when the time comes, but you have the burden of reconstruction to make things right when the time comes. That’s the chance you take.

December 29, 2011 — NASSAU HERALD
The masthead The box at the far left side of the page is called the “masthead.” It contains the newspaper’s “flag” or nameplate, and the lion logo of the parent company of the Herald Community Newspapers, Richner Communications, Inc. The masthead offers basic information about the paper and how it functions. Brothers Stuart and Clifford Richner jointly guide the business and news operations for the 15 weekly newspapers in the Herald Community Newspaper group, including: the Nassau Herald, serving the Five Towns, and Heralds for Baldwin, Bellmore, East Meadow, Franklin Square/Elmont, Long Beach, Lynbrook/East Rockaway, Malverne/West Hempstead, Merrick, Oceanside/Island Park, Rockville Centre and Valley Stream. The editor of each paper is responsible for the assignment, selection and placement of stories, most of which the editors and reporters write. The executive editor oversees the editorial department staff and the editorial content of all 15 newspapers in the chain. The production department is responsible for the paper’s design. The advertising and art departments produce the large, often illustrated, “display” advertisements that appear throughout the paper. They help clients decide what the ads will say and how they will look. The classified department produces the small ads at the back of each week’s paper that are arranged by headings. The masthead also lists the paper’s age, the names of its founders, its address, telephone and fax numbers and notice that the contents are copyrighted.
For your information . . . Editorial page
Editorial comment Editorials offer the opinion of the Herald. The editorials are written by the editors, but do not necessarily represent their personal views. That is why they are unsigned: editorial comment is the newspaper’s institutional voice. The editors and publishers meet weekly to discuss positions the paper may take and how those positions will be expressed. Most editorials respond to developments in the news, but they may also be based on independent reporting or discussions with reporters to gain information that goes beyond what has already appeared in print. Editors and the publishers may also talk with advocates for causes or experts in a field to help formulate opinions or policies. Before elections, they meet with candidates for office. Most editorials concern local issues, but the newspaper may speak out as well on national or international questions that are part of the lives of our readers. Usually those editorials will try to address those concerns from a local perspective, since that is what we know best and what makes us different from daily newspapers and weekly news magazines. We hope our editorials are forceful without being strident and that they may persuade our readers to think and act in the best interests of the community.
Editorial cartoon The editorial cartoons are supplied by a syndicate, which represents major cartoonists across the country and the spectrum of political opinion. They are chosen to provide thoughtful or humorous viewpoints on topics of general interest. They do not represent the opinion of the newspaper or its editors.

What are the editorial pages all about? Who writes editorials? How do letters and guest columns get published? This week’s pages offer some answers to our readers. We thank The Riverdale Press for the idea.
Opinion columns
Opinion pages
Special features Other items will also appear on our editorial and op-ed pages, including the “Framework” feature that showcases creative work by the Herald’s photo staff, which, we hope, brightens the page and your week. We also make mistakes, despite our best efforts. We strive to correct them as soon as possible with a correction or clarification notice on these pages, the most prominent in the paper after page 1.
Letters to the editor Because community opinions are so important to us, we publish virtually all letters we receive. This policy, of course, can bring problems with it. Some letters may seem silly, dull or poorly written, but we believe you should have the chance to read them anyway; they are voices from our shared community. Letters may also be tasteless, racist or sexist, but we believe they should be published too. We cannot pretend that such attitudes do not exist; if we are to fight them, we must meet them head-on. We believe deeply that the remedy to “bad” speech is more speech, not censorship. Vituperative attacks on local people or institutions pose a more complicated problem. The laws governing libel apply to letters to the editor with the same force as anything else we publish. Both the letter writer and this newspaper can be held accountable for heedlessly damaging a reputation. Public figures like politicians have less protection from outraged opinion than do private citizens. Robust public debate must take precedence over our feelings and the sensitivities of those who have entered the public arena. We do not publish anonymous letters. Letters must be signed and include a daytime phone number and an address, so we can verify that a letter is genuine. Phone numbers and full addresses will not be published. We are reluctant to publish letters from people who are unwilling to stand openly behind what they have written. We are willing to withhold the name of a letter writer on request only when the letter states a valid reason for doing so. Within those limits, we will publish as much as we can each week, though letters will sometimes have to wait until there is enough room. We usually refrain from commenting on letters, but in certain cases an “editor’s note” may attempt to correct misinformation or misunderstanding.

NASSAU HERALD — December 29, 2011
Each week, we publish two pages of opinion in addition to the editorial page. Most of these pages are devoted to the columns of our three weekly or bi-weekly contributors: Randi Kreiss, the former editor of the Nassau Herald; Scott Brinton, the senior editor of the Bellmore and Merrick Heralds; former Senator Alfonse D’Amato; and our newest addition, former State Assemblyman Jerry Kremer. Our writers come from diverse backgrounds and from different points of the political spectrum. Their columns reflect their own opinions on topical issues. The newspaper does not select the topics on which columnists opine, and their publication is not an endorsement of the positions they espouse.
