5 trustees, village justice running in two Port villages Voters will elect officials in Sands Point and Manorhaven on Tuesday BY ST E P H E N ROMANO Voters in two Port Washington villages will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect ďŹ ve trustees and a village justice. All are running unopposed. Sands Point Mayor Edward Adler and Trustees Kay Ullman and Marc Silbert are all seeking re-election, and Manorhaven Trustees Rita Di Lucia and John Popeleski and village Justice Peter Gallanter are all running. Trustees serve two-year terms and the village justice has a fouryear term. Adler, who was elected to the board as a trustee in 1991, has served as the village’s mayor since 2011. He said he is running for reelection because he still loves being involved in the village and giving back to the community. “It’s a hard job that is very complex so you have to be dedi-
cated and put in a lot of time, but I love being involved,â€? Adler said. A Sands Point resident for 40 years, Adler served as the commissioner of the Building Department when he ďŹ rst joined the board, tasked with revitalizing the department to make it “responsible and responsive,â€? he said. For the next 10 years on the board, Adler served as the police commissioner, where he said the “main job was putting the force in the strongest possible position in term of quality of leadership and oďŹƒcers.â€? Adler said the village is beginning new projects, including new conservation methods for residents and the Water Department, negotiating with the PBA for a new police contract and work on the Village Club of Sands Point. Adler, who lived in New York City before moving to Sands Point, is an attorney who runs a real estate development business. Continued on Page 57
