Janine and John Riomao had just satdown on their plush couch in front oftheir big-screen TV to indulge in a dish ofice cream when Janine felt somethinggive around 8:30 p.m. on Monday,January 2.
“Johnny,” she alerted her husband, “Ithink my water just broke!” The deliciousice cream would have to wait.
So began the earnest sojourn of first-time parents, as they quickly contactedtheir doctor, packed their bags and headedto South Nassau Communities Hospital inOceanside, where Janine was raised.
“I was in pain” as the contractions camemore quickly and were stronger, she toldBellmore Life. But she would go throughtwo hours of contractions before the doc-tors would give her an epidural to blockthe pain. “She had to be dilated enoughbefore they could give it,” John said.
After that, it was smooth sailing asDeanna Marie Riomao made her grandappearance onto the world stage at 6:58a.m. on Tuesday, January 3, making her
the Bellmores’ First Baby of the Year. Butsmooth may be a surprising word, asDeanna weighed a robust nine poundsand was 20 1/2-inches long.
“It was just an amazing experience,”said mother Janine of Deanna’s birth.“She was exactly what I wanted! This isthe happiest I’ve every been in my life!”Janine said that ever since she was a littlegirl she had wanted to be a mother, andnow it had come true.
Meanwhile, John was in the deliveryroom soaking up every moment. “It was anumbing experience,” he reflected. “Theneverything suddenly went quiet and calmas she emerged.” He even got to cut theumbilical cord.
The perfect homeMarried since 2010, the Riomaos have
the perfect home in Bellmore in which toraise Deanna – and perhaps as perfect asituation as new parents can have. “Thebaby sleeps about four hours before wak-ing and wanting to be fed,” said Janine.
She gladly fulfills that role, as she nurs-es Deanna. “John can sleep,” she added,because he has to go to work.
While Janine is a pre-K teacher in theLong Beach School District who will takethe rest of the season off, John, fromBrooklyn, is a U.S customs officer work-ing for homeland security in charge ofborder protection – and took the week off.
He travels to other countries routinelyto inspect supply chains and logistics forcompanies that wish to ship their prod-ucts in container ships in the U.S.“Countries who want to ship their prod-ucts that enter our harbors apply to us toget reductions in costs,” such as portentry fees, he told Bellmore Life.
“Bellmore’s First Baby of the Year is“doing great,” mother Janine says. “She’snot colic-y, she’s content and she sleepswell.” Adds Dad, “She follows her sched-ule well: She sleeps, gets fed, getschanged and goes back to sleep.”
Janine skipped the family name-pass-ing to settle on Deanna, a name “I have
always loved.” Dad’s mother’s name isMarie, so a hint of heritage has remained.Should a boy appear on the horizon, theywill call him Anthony because...they bothlove the name Anthony.
All’s well...in love.An assortment of gifts awaits the fam-
ily of John and Janine Riomao.Gifts from local Bellmore merchants
will include a $25 gift certificate fromPiccolo Ristorante, a haircut for Mom orDad at TJs Unisex Haircutters, two flatsof flowers from Island Greenery, brunchfor two at Hemingway’s in Wantagh, a$25 gift certificate from Zuckerman’sfine jewelry, a floral arrangement fromPetite Florist, a $25 gift certificate fromthe Bellmore Bagel Café, a gift for babyfrom Stride Rite of Merrick, one freeweek for mother and guest at World Gym,and a one-year subscription to BellmoreLife, your hometown newspaper.
Welcome to this wonderful world,Deanna!

Residents want more answers on Cedar Creekby Laura Schofer
Residents voiced a long list of con-cerns at last month’s meeting of theCedar Creek Oversight Committee –lack of preventive maintenance, analleged policy of retaliation againstworkers who speak out about the prob-lems at the plant, little transparency andthe possible privatization of the CedarCreek sewage treatment plant.
“We’ve been here before,” said PhilFranco, co-chairman of the Cedar CreekOversight Committee. “It feels like weare going backwards.”
Mark Salerno, also co-chairman ofthe Oversight Committee, pepperedthe plant supervisors with questionsabout each department and its abilityto keep the plant up-and-running ingood condition. Most of the depart-ment chairpeople – operations, gener-ation and electric – are pleased withthe progress the plant is making.
However, money woes are still plagu-ing the plant. Terence Hopper, who
heads the maintenance department, said,“We are addressing various emergenciesas they come up. We’re low on staffing.Part of it is the skill set. We have 20 peo-ple but one is in the office and on anygiven day I probably have no more than14 working.” He added that he must pri-oritize the workload.
But Rich Milett, deputy commissionerof public works, defended the progressthe plant is making. “It is fiscally impru-dent to just keep hiring. It would be abudget buster. We must live within thecivil service system and move throughthe plant in an orderly fashion,” he said.“The plant is fine.”
“But we pay for the plant to be main-tained,” replied Mr. Franco.
“We must adjust how we run theplant,” countered Mr. Milett. “We arestill fighting a battle to get critical equip-ment working.” He pointed to the $70-plus million that has been put into theplant. There are 96 workers in the plant;the budget calls for 100 workers. Fourmore will be hired, said Mr. Millet.
However, experienced workers arebeing transferred. Ralph Spagnoloreferred to one worker with 25 yearsexperience as “a welder and machinist,and you put him in parks. Why?” heasked.
“He is in facilities,” said Mr. Milett. “Iunderstand how talented he is but this isa personnel matter and the personneldepartment will not discuss it at all.”
Mr. Franco said other workers in theplant spoke “about intimidation tactics.”
One worker agreed. “There is definitelyintimidation. I’m always hearing you’regoing to lose your job. I can’t prove some-one doesn’t like me but I’’ll keep standingup for myself and for the plant.”
But Mr. Milett denied these accusations.“If anyone is intimated they should file acounty Department of Public Works’workplace violence form. We have aprocess,” he said.
“People are afraid to file that form,”replied Mr. Salerno of the OversightCommittee.
PrivatizationResident Tom Gallagher asked for an
update on the possibility of privatizing thesewage treatment plants in Nassau County.Mr. Milett said the county was “definitelyinvestigating. But my task is to moveahead and let someone else investigate thatopportunity.” Three possible bidders areVeolia, Severn Trent and United Water.
Mr. Milett added that if such a plan wereto take place, “the operator would offerjobs to everyone in the plant. There wouldalso be an opportunity in the county. Noone would lose their job.”
Bobby Campo, a Cedar Creek employ-ee and the plant’s Civil Service EmployeesAssociation (CSEA) union representative,said “the devil is in the details. They saywe are protected but we don’t know. Thereare stumbling blocks here.”
Mr. Gallagher agreed, pointing to thecounty’s reduction of workers in theDepartment of Social Services.

A possible public-private venture
Sunrise Highway has been the scene of waytoo many traffic fatalities involving pedestri-ans. The latest one occurred in Merrick lastweek. But the pain of other tragic losses in ourcommunity still lingers.
Once again, some people are calling for pedes-trian bridges or tunnels and others are saying theeconomy has not picked up enough yet. Wouldn’tthis be an opportunity for public-private partner-ship? That is not to suggest a toll bridge by anymeans. But a private sponsor could earn incomefrom billboard advertising on the bridge or tunneland concessions at the entrances. Staffed conces-sions would also make those crossing feel safer.
In Maplewood, New Jersey, a valet kiosk at thestation provided busy commuters with folders andfliers about community businesses and services.An employee was on hand during rush hour totake orders and then in off-peak would pick updry cleaning or takeout, or even drop off a car atthe repair service.
A study of each community could determinewhether this was a need, or if a hot dog stand orcoffee kiosk was more apropos. In some places aparking garage might make sense. The question ishow to build the bridges or tunnels at SunriseHighway in a way that does not urbanize ourcommunity.
We look forward to hearing if any of our read-ers have any ideas.
Go Giants! This weekend the football Super Bowl will be
the occasion for many gatherings of family andfriends. A former editor once said it was thebiggest event after Thanksgiving for his familyand many others. Local bars, cafes and restau-rants will also be busy hosting Super Bowl par-ties. And this year many New Yorkers, not justGiants fans, have a reason to watch and root, afterall it is a hometown team.

Thank you to our sponsors
To Bellmore Life:This year, the Kennedy High School stu-
dent government is focused on raisingmoney for the Marty LyonsFoundation.The foundation grants wishesto terminally ill children between the agesof 3-17.
During this past football season, manylocal companies sponsored Kennedy foot-ball games, to raise money for the founda-tion. For every touchdown the Cougarsscored, $10 was donated by the compa-nies to the foundation.
$300 was raised for the foundation. TheJFK student government would like tothank Moolala, Got Cupcakes?, Stella’s, LaPiazza, Matteo’s, Red Mango, Scott R.Cohen Esq, and Millamar Landscaping forsponsoring the football games and donat-ing money to this important cause.
Due to all the success that the JFK stu-dent government had from the football sea-son, they have called out to even morecompanies to sponsor the Kennedy boysand girls basketball teams, in an effort toraise even more money for the MartyLyons Foundation. These sponsors willdonate $1 for every basket and $2 for everythree-pointer.

cial section for kids, and identification tips,photos, sounds and maps to help developbirdwatching skills. The count alsoincludes a photo contest and a prize draw-ing for participants who enter their birdchecklists online.

Studies Canada. The GBBC is a joint proj-ect of the National Audubon Society, theCornell Lab of Ornithology and Canadianpartner Bird Studies Canada.

AQUA water well to be treated
Trace levels of volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) have beendetected in the water in Seaford,requiring the United States Navy, incooperation with Aqua New York, toinstall both temporary and final treat-ment systems for one of the two wellsat Aqua New York’s Seamans NeckRoad water supply system in Seaford.
The VOCs are linked to the formerGrumman property approximately 2.5miles north of the water supply system.
The temporary treatment systemwill be followed by a final treatmentsystem to improve the drinking waterstandards. Work on the system willbegin in February. The completedprojects are to be finished by the win-ter of 2012, or 2013.
The United States Navy, along withrepresentatives from Aqua New Yorkheld a public availability session atSeaford Library last month and pro-vided residents with literature aboutthe project.
Tom Kohlman from the Forest CityCommunity Association provided acopy of the literature to Bellmore Life.
According to the handout, therewill be an interim and final treatmentsystem. Each of these systems willconsist of vessels containing granularactivated carbon (GAC) and aredescribed in the literature as “large-scale-versions of common home fil-tration systems. The GAC has beenshown to reliably remove these VOCsfrom water.”
The interim treatment system willconsist of three 20,000 pound GACvessels to be installed beginning inFebruary through April, and willoperate until December. Additionally,there will be a 21,000-gallon tempo-rary tank to store waste waters.
Construction on the final or long-term system will include six 20,000pound GAC vessels enclosed within abuilding, and a backup generator toensure water supply during a poweroutage. The construction on this sys-tem will begin this spring and becompleted in the winter of 2012-2013.
The VOCs found at this site are inconcentrations less than the countyDepartment of Health drinking waterstandards, said the handout, but “con-centrations can increase over time.”
The United States Navy will payfor this project and there will be nocost to Aqua ratepayers because theNavy owned a portion of the propertywhere the VOCs originated. A Recordof Decision issued in 2003 requiresthe Navy to install these treatmentsystems.
In addition to the Navy and AquaNew York, the state Department ofEnvironmental Conservation, thestate’s Health Department, the countyDepartment of Health and the Townof Hempstead will oversee the proj-ect.

Residents still questioning Cedar Creek
added, “there was no mention of keepingemployees in the RFP [Request ForProposals issued to investigate the possi-bility of a public-private partnership].”
“It’s in the MOU [memorandum ofunderstanding],” said Mr. Milett.
“We haven’t seen the MOU,” repliedMr. Campo.
“It’s not for public consumption,” saidMr. Milett. “When the county selects an
operator they’ll do community meetings.”
No transparencyMr. Franco pointed to a lack of trans-
parency regarding privatization of theplants and how the plants are being run.“We want hearings,” he said.
Legislator Dennis Dunne promisedthere would be transparency during thisprocess. “I spoke with Rob Walker[deputy county executive] and he said the
process will be crystal clear.”But Mr. Denenberg countered, “The
county hired Morgan Stanley [to study thepublic/private proposal] 18 months agowithout hearings. An RFP was issuedwithout a public hearing.”
Residents want resultsIn closing, Mr. Franco said, “The
answer is simple – we need people. Manthe plant.”
But Michael Fassano, a supervisor atCedar Creek, said “the plant is much bet-ter. More equipment is online. It’s a toughplace to work and it takes time to hire, getraises and promotions. These guys do anunbelievable job. The equipment is muchbetter than 16 months ago.”
One worker declared, “This is still allbackwards. I’ve been talking ‘til I’m bluein the face. We need overtime; people havefamilies to feed.”

The Bellmore-Merrick Bulldogs sawtheir three-game winning streak come toan end at the hands of Long Beach onSunday night at Long Beach Arena, andto East Williston at Newbridge Arena inBellmore on Monday night.
One night after a tough loss to LongBeach, the Bulldogs hosted Liberty Divisionleaders East Williston at Newbridge Arena.This was the first and only meeting betweenthe two teams.
The first period started off a bit slow. Eachteam got off a few shots, but due to superbdefense and goaltending from both teams, it wasa relatively uneventful first period of play.
Bulldogs score firstWith 20 seconds remaining in the first,
captain Nick Abbene deflected a Joe Hannonslapshot into the back of the net, putting theBulldogs ahead, 1-0.
In the second period both teams continued
their solid defense, and each goaltender hadhis fair share of nice saves. But with 4:46 leftin the second, an East Williston player got oneby Bulldogs goalie Chris Silvester, tying thegame at one.
As the third period began both teamsshowed frustration at the lack of scoring.Instead of playing solid defensive hockey,both teams focused on getting to theopposing team’s net and putting points upon the board.
Two minutes into the third, Abbene foundthe net again, putting the Bulldogs back ontop, 2-1.
After Abbene’s second goal of the game,East Williston took full control of the game.With 9:31 remaining in the game, EastWilliston scored its second goal of the game,tying the game at two.
Defense disintegratesTaking full advantage of a disintegrating
Bulldogs defense, East Williston then scoredtwo more goals, giving them a two- goal lead,
and a 4-2 win.It was a rough game for the Bulldogs.The Bulldogs have two games left in the
regular season, tonight at 7:15 p.m. againstPort Washington at Bethpage Arena, andMonday, February 6, against Syosset atNewbridge Arena, at 9 p.m.
After those two games the playoffs start, so itis important for the Bulldogs to finish the regu-lar season with a win. Just as in any sport, it’salways good to head into the playoffs after a winor two.
Come out and support the Bulldogs asthey prepare to end the season with a win!

Senate: State budget falls short for LI school fundingThe executive budget proposed by
Democratic Governor AndrewCuomo, which calls for a 4% increasein state aid to education, does not pro-vide Long Island schools with theirfair share, say Republican stateSenators Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. ofMerrick, Jack Martins of Mineola andLee Zeldin of Shirley.
In the recently announced budget,Nassau and Suffolk Counties receive adisproportionate share of state educa-tion aid. Long Island is home to approx-imately 17% of the state’s students.
However, out of the over $19.7 bil-lion in state education aid appropriatedfor school districts statewide under theexecutive budget, aid to Long Island
falls short.“The executive budget proposal
shortchanges Long Island’s students.The budget proposal did not raise taxes,and that’s exactly the right approachbecause people cannot afford to paymore. Now it must help provide addi-tional tax relief to residents who paysome of the nation’s highest propertytaxes by giving Long Island schoolstheir fair share,” said Senator Fuschillo.
“Long Island taxpayers are tired ofsettling for so much less than we payfor. Our communities are not only someof the highest taxed in the state, but thecountry as well. Yet so much of that taxmoney never makes its way back to ourschools and our children. It’s simply not
fair and we can’t look the other waywhen it comes to our kids. Long Islandcan’t keep investing in New York Stateif New York keeps shortchanging ourchildren,” said Senator Martins.
“Long Island property taxpayersshould receive the best possible returnon their investment. I am hopeful thatthe budget being negotiated between thegovernor and the Legislature providesLong Islanders with an equitable shareof school aid compared with the rest ofNew York State. As the representativefor a Senate district with multiple low-wealth, high-needs school districts, Ibelieve it should be of particular con-cern that all Long Island schoolchildrenreceive the best possible education at
the most efficient cost possible. For thefuture of our region, it’s imperative thatthis budget provides equity to my con-stituents’ property tax bills and school-children. I trust that our governor andLegislature will continue working welltogether in a bipartisan manner in thebest interests of all New Yorkers,including all of Long Island,” saidSenator Zeldin.
Senators Fuschillo, Martins andZeldin pledged to continue fighting forLong Island’s fair share of state educa-tion aid, as well as mandate relief forschool districts, during the legislativebudget review process.
The governor’s office did not returncalls for comment by press time.
