The Nassau County Legislature willhold a public hearing on Monday,February 25, at 10 a.m. to allow for publiccomment on a proposed map that willdetermine new legislative districts.

If the newly drawn lines remain,Legislator Dave Denenberg, theBellmores and Merricks representative inthe 19th Legislative District for the last 14years, could lose his seat.

The process, called redistricting, refersto redrawing legislative districts to reflect

changing population as revealed in the lat-est census. Maps are required to beredrawn every 10 years.

The proposed map passed by the legis-lature’s Rules Committee last week was anamended version of the Republican mapfirst unveiled to the public early last monthat the Nassau County temporary redistrict-ing commission hearing.

The Rules Committee voted along partylines 4-3 for the amended Republicanmap which, if approved, will move about359,173 voters out of their present legisla-tive district.

However, a previous map proposed bythe Republican delegation would havemoved roughly 600,000 residents.

While the new proposed map restoressome legislative districts, including theGreat Neck Peninsula, residents inBellmore and Merrick will remain in twolegislative districts – Legislative District13, represented by Norma Gonsalves andLegislative District 19, which would haveno incumbent if the proposed plan goesthrough. Presently, Legislator DavidDenenberg of Merrick representsLegislative District 19.

In Bellmore and MerrickVoters who live north of Jerusalem

Avenue in North Bellmore and NorthMerrick will be in LegislativeDistrict 13, represented byLegislative Presiding Officer NormaGonsalves. The rest of Bellmore’sand Merrick’s voters will be inLegislative District 19, along withresidents of central and southWantagh and Freeport.

MOVIE FOR A CAUSE: Merrick Kiwanis hosted a free movie for families impacted by SuperstormSandy on Monday. Over 400 adults and children from Bellmore, Seaford, Freeport, Long Beach,Oceanside and Valley Stream, and nearly 300 from the Merricks, came for the free Kiwanis-spon-sored event, which included the movie “Escape from Planet Earth,” popcorn and a drink. MerrickKiwanis applied for and received a grant from the Kiwanis International Foundation to help Sandy vic-tims. They are planning future events and ways to help the disaster victims with the grant money.Kim Scharoff, Kiwanis event coordinator, reached out to communities through Facebook and theKiwanis Club website as well as by word of mouth. The program was successful and future announce-ments of special events can be viewed on the Merrick Kiwanis website and Facebook page. In photofrom left are Kim Scharoff, Martin Valk, Doug Mills and Seth Pitlake.

It’s Black History MonthBlack History Month is halfway over, but it is not too

late to stop and reflect on the achievements of AfricanAmericans, who have contributed so much more toAmerican culture, economy and indeed our national iden-tity than their numbers would indicate. In fact, theAfrican American heritage is shared by all Americans.

Did you know there was a fort north of St. Augustine,Florida, called Fort Moses where beginning in 1687 manyslaves from the British colonies escaped to the first freecommunity of ex-slaves in what is now the United States?

Have you heard about the “Underground Railroad”?This route of “safe houses” led from states where slaveryruled north to Canada. Part of this route was right throughthe Bellmores. New York City had the largest number ofslaves after Charleston, South Carolina, and the Quakersin Westbury were among the first to speak out againstslavery.

Many Long Islanders fought in the Civil War whichresulted in freedom for African American slaves.

Freeporter Ed Monroe was among the TuskegeeAirmen, the all-black fighter group who served with dis-tinction starting during World War II.

The Freedom Riders, who traveled to the deep Southto demonstrate for civil rights for African Americans,included many Long Islanders. Civil rights demonstratorsalso lost their lives in Freeport.

Jackie Robinson was the first African American toplay for a major league baseball team, the BrooklynDodgers.

Hale Smith of Freeport was a legendary composerwho helped shape American jazz.

Freeporter Fred Brewington won a one-man one-votecase that replaced the at-large Hempstead Town Boardwith district representatives. One of the plaintiffs,Dorothy Goosby still serves with distinction as one ofthose town board members.

Andrew Hardwick is the first African American mayorof Freeport.

And, of course, our recently re-elected PresidentBarack Obama is an African American. Almost everyonecan remember what they were doing the day he first tookoffice, a proud moment in American history.

The Hempstead Town Board has votedto hire a consulting firm to assist in the cre-ation of new district lines for the six coun-cilmembers.

Skyline Demographic Consultants, Inc.was selected to gather demographic infor-mation that will be used to redraw the sixcouncilmatic districts within the Town ofHempstead.

Councilmen James Darcy, AnthonySantino and Gary Hudes voted in favor ofthe resolution at Tuesday’s Town Boardmeeting. Councilman Edward Ambrosinoand Councilwomen Dorothy Goosby andAngie Cullin were not present for the vote.

Nine residents spoke on the resolution,urging the town to conduct a fair and trans-parent process to ensure that all 760,000

town residents are equally represented inthe new maps.

The councilmatic districts must beredrawn every 10 years in compliance withthe law stating that legislative districtsshould reflect the changing population asrevealed in the latest census.

The latest federal census shows there is agrowing minority population in some partsof the Town of Hempstead, includingElmont, Valley Stream, Freeport andBaldwin.

Merokian Bob Young, the Town ofHempstead Democratic Party’s firstdeputy leader, asked if the town wouldappoint a bipartisan commission to helpdraw the map.

“No,” replied Hempstead Town

Attorney Joseph Ra. “The consultant willgather the demographic information andthen the town attorney’s office will draw themaps.” A hearing date or dates will beannounced at a future time.

Mr. Young urged the Town Board to holda hearing in each councilmatic district in theevenings, before and after the map wasdrawn, to facilitate public input.

Paul Federman inquired about Skyline’squalifications. Skyline is the same firmused by the county legislature’s Republicanmajority to draw legislative districts. Mr. Ra

said Skyline was chosen because “in theopinion of the town attorney’s office theyare the best.”

But a resident said she had concerns thatthis firm would try to “weaken the power ofAfrican Americans.”

Another resident urged the town to hiresomeone “who worked for both theRepublicans and the Democrats.”

Town Supervisor Kate Murray assuredthe public the process would open and fair.“The last time everyone voted in favor ofthe maps,” she said. – Laura Schofer

Man guilty in Fayette crashA Freeport man pleaded guilty Friday

to auto theft at gunpoint and attemptingto escape Nassau police who had chasedand trapped him in Fayette School’sparking lot, injuring several policemenin the escape attempt.

Remick Menjivar, 19, was promised aprison sentence of 14 years by JudgeWilliam Donnino, in part because thepolice officers were injured in the escapeattempt, one seriously.

Of the sentense District AttorneyKathleen Ricesaid: “A violent criminalwith his back against the wall is a verydangerous thing, especially one armed

with a firearm and a stolen vehicle,” DARice said. “These dedicated officers,however, thought not of their own well-being but of the safety of the communi-ty, and stood their ground.”

Mr. Menjivar stole a car at gunpoint inHicksville and fled the scene, but wassoon found by officers of the SecondPrecinct and the Bureau of SpecialOperations, who tdried to pull him over.

A chase ensued in which Mr. Menjivarentered Fayette School’s parking lot.Trapped, he accelerated head-on into apolice car, careening into the FayetteSchool building before coming to a stop.

Healthy feet are important for feelinggood and staying active. When we thinkabout exercise, we tend to leave our feetout of the equation. However, when itcomes down to it, healthy feet are essen-tial to enjoying an active lifestyle.

There is nothing more discouraging tostaying active than painful feet. TheAmerican Podiatric Medical Associationestimates that approximately 75% of allAmericans will experience some type offoot problem during their life.

This alone is enough reason to payspecial attention to the health of yourfeet. But on top of that, our feet con-tain 25% of the bones in our body,along with 33 joints, to help us moveand keep our balance. Regular exer-cise can help you remain mobile, alle-viate stiffness in the joints andimprove your balance.

It is common that problems in our feetcan lead to other problems in the body,such as knee, back and hip problems.Unhealthy feet can also cause emotionalstresses and changes in adrenal stress,blood sugar, fatigue and many others.

As a result, when you have foot prob-lems you are less inclined to enjoy stay-ing active. Inactivity and a lack of exer-cise can lead to many serious healthissues, which can simply be avoided. Ifyou want to keep your body healthy, youneed to pay attention to your feet.

Keeping your feet healthy is not hard.There are many things you can do tokeep them pain-free. First and foremost,healthy feet start with proper hygiene.Thoroughly cleaning your feet and dry-ing them well is key. Fungal organismsthrive in moist areas, so making sureyour feet are dry, especially in betweenyour toes, makes it more difficult forthose organisms to prosper.

Examining your feet often forchanges in color, texture or appearancecould increase your chances of catch-ing a problem before it gets worse.Daily examinations are especiallyimportant for diabetics, because theyare at a higher risk for sores and infec-tions.

Properly cutting your toenails straightacross and never cutting into cornershelps prevent painful ingrown toenails,which could lead to infection. Mostimportantly, do not ignore foot pain.

Pain is a way for your body to tell yousomething is wrong, and ignoring it willonly prolong and worsen the issue.

Appropriate foot care helps to encour-age keeping activity levels high, whichlead to a healthier you. Foot problemsmake it more difficult to stay active.

The Board Certified podiatrists atLivingston Foot Care Specialists canhelp with all foot problems. If you areexperiencing symptoms such as painfulbunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, plan-tar fasciitis, diabetes, redness, swelling,fungal toenails and many others, call

Livingston Foot Care Specialists for anappointment, at 826-0103.

The doctors at Livingston Foot Care

Specialists, 1685 Newbridge Road,North Bellmore, are there to help you bethe healthiest you can be.

Kidney disease blocks the body’sability to clean the blood stream,explained Steven Fishbane, MD, vice-president for network dialysis servicesat North Shore-LIJ.

The disease can lead to the need fordialysis or transplantation. The twobiggest causes of kidney disease arehigh blood pressure and diabetes.According to the National KidneyFoundation, approximately 26 millionadult Americans have chronic kidneydisease.

Kidney disease is often hard to detect,although sometimes swelling in the legsor blood in the urine might be a sign ofthe disease, Dr. Fishbane said. Bloodand urine tests are typically done todetermine if someone has the disease.

To increase awareness about kidneydisease, the Raggio Institute is hostingthese education events:

• Tuesday, March 12: A programentitled “Healthy Living withHypertension or Diabetes” will offerinformation about kidney disease pre-

vention and free body mass index,blood glucose and blood pressurescreenings at the Queens CentralLibrary at 89-11 Merrick Boulevard,Jamaica, at 2 p.m.

• Thursday, March 14 (WorldKidney Day): There will be blood andurine tests done to screen for kidney

disease. This event involves the RaggioInstitute as well as North Shore-LIJ’sdiabetes wellness program and will takeplace from 9-11 a.m. at the YMCA inGlen Cove, 125 Dosoris Lane.

In addition, a diabetes managementpresentation with blood and urine testswill be done at 12:30 p.m. at the TowerConference Room at North ShoreUniversity Hospital, 300 CommunityDrive, Manhasset.

• Monday, March 18: The RaggioInstitute will present the “Diabetesand Kidney Disease” program forGlen Cove Hospital’s diabetes club atnoon. Urine screenings will be doneafter the program at Glen CoveHospital’s Maxwell Boardroom, 101St. Andrews Lane.

• Wednesday, March 20 (Health

fair): There will be a question-and-answer session from 3-7 p.m. at theRaggio Nephrology Institute, 100Community Drive, Great Neck, wherepeople can speak with a range of med-ical professionals, including dieticians,hemodialysis nurses, social workers,transplant coordinators, certified dia-betes educators and nephrologists abouttheir kidney health concerns.

Bilingual staff will be able to answerquestions in Spanish, Korean, Chineseand Hindu. There will also be bloodpressure and urine screenings. From 7-8p.m., there will be a workshop entitled“How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy.”

For information, contact Terry Tan,program coordinator, at the RaggioInstitute, at 465-8215. Or you can emailto [email protected].

19 has no incumbent. The currentLegislative District 19 is represented byLegislator Denenberg. However, a smallpiece of central Merrick, where Mr.Denenberg lives, has been drawn into thenewly proposed Legislative District 5,now represented by Joseph Scannell.

Winners and losersThe proposed new map places three sets

of legislators into the same district. Two ofthese districts have Democratic incum-bents – Mr. Denenberg and Mr. Scannell,here on the South Shore; DemocratsWayne Wink and Delia DeReggi-Whittonin northern Nassau County, andRepublicans Joseph Belesi and MichaelVenditto in southeastern Nassau County.

More than 30 people signed up to speakat last week’s Rules Committee hearingaccording to Jessica Tauber, DavidDenenberg’s Chief of Staff.

Members of the Nassau UnitedRedistricting Coalition, a group of non-partisan community groups, spokeagainst the plan and raised concernsabout the disenfranchisement of minor-ity communities.

Peter Rosenthal, a member of theLeague of Women Voters and the NassauUnited Redistricting Coalition, said, “Themap being proposed here today is a kalei-doscope of colors with only one true pur-pose – to rig the electoral process bypacking members of one party in NassauCounty into as few districts as possible.

“It seeks to crush democracy underthe power of one political party forthe next decade. Remember, you areelected to represent all of the peopleof Nassau County.”

But Francis Moroney, Republican

spokesman for the proposed plan, toldMerrick Life the final map was verymuch like the map “they [Nassau UnitedRedistricting Coalition] submitted. I guessit has to do with pride of ownership,” saidMr. Moroney.

“Clearly [they] have not analyzed themap,” he said, referring to accusationsof violating the Voting Rights Act.“There is only a small deviation of4.8%, not nearly as much as their map,which had a deviation of 9.85% andpools people into certain districts.”

But some people remain unhappy.Legislators Norma Gonsalves, HowardKopel, Dennis Dunne and Rose MarieWalker, all Republicans, voted in favor ofthe map; Kevan Abrahams, Judy Jacobsand Wayne Wink voted against the map.

After the Rules Committee voted, anumber of residents stood up and sang“We Shall Overcome.”

On Legislator Denenberg’s Facebookpage, resident Linda Kaplan expressedoutrage over the new map that could dis-place Mr. Denenberg from his district. “Ifyou can’t win an election on your meritthen you do something to steal it the nexttime. Redistricting so that voters becomedisenfranchised is odious,” she wrote.“We should sue all the way to theSupreme Court. Our civil rights arebeing violated.”

However, Mr. Moroney has repeat-edly said the map was drawn “blind toincumbency.”

The full Legislature must vote onthe map no later than Tuesday, March5. The February 25 hearing is the lasttime residents will have an opportuni-ty to voice their opinions on the map.

There are 10 Republicans and nineDemocrats. A simple majority isneeded to pass the new proposal.
