Kensington Deputy Mayor Kaplan will not vie to retain seat on board BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z The six villages on the Great Neck peninsula with elections on March 16 have no apparent challengers to any of the incumbents. In the Village of Great Neck Plaza, Trustees Gerald Schneiderman and Lawrence Katz are running unopposed. Schneiderman has served as a trustee since 2000 and was chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals from 1982 to 2000. Katz, a certified public accountant and attorney who previously served three years on the village’s zoning appeals board, has served since December 2012. In Great Neck Estates, village Justice David Schaffer is running unopposed for a four-year term. Mayor William Warner’s seat and the seats of Trustees Jeffrey Farkas and Ira Ganzfried are not on the ballot after a 2018 law was passed that increased the term length for the mayor and trustees from two years to four.
In Russell Gardens, the seats of Mayor David Miller and Trustees Jane Krakauer and Martin Adickman will be on the ballot. Miller entered the 2019 race as the acting mayor after his predecessor Steven Kirshner moved out of the village. Krakauer has served on the board since 2009 and Adickman has served on the board since 2003. Miller is running unopposed for another two-year term while Krakauer and Adickman are up for four-year terms. In Kensington, the seat of Trustee Alina Hendler is on the ballot for a two-year term.
