Forum offers advice to Sandy victimsby Sharon G. Jonas
A standing-room-only crowd packedthe Freeport Memorial Library for the“Hurricane Sandy Relief and Recovery”informational meeting sponsored byNassau County Legislators DavidDenenberg, Kevan Abrahams and JoeScannell on Monday night.
Representatives from FEMA, NewYork State and Nassau County, alongwith a host of financial and legal author-ities, introduced themselves andanswered questions in both group andindividual settings.
The scheduled two-hour forum,beginning at 7 p.m., was extended until10 p.m. to accommodate the large num-ber of residents seeking advice.
Legislator Denenberg said a similarforum at the Freeport High School willtake place on Thursday.
Residents taking notes, collectingbrochures and asking questions from the
multitude of recovery experts, at timesexpressed frustration about conflictingadvice and inefficient response.
FEMA speaksOver a dozen Federal Emergency
Management Agency representativeswere on hand to discuss their specializedrole in disaster recover. Toney Raines, incharge of individual assistance, said, “Ina federally declared disaster, there arethree programs that get turned on.”
The first one is individual assistanceto help people, the second is publicassistance that focuses on infrastruc-tures, buildings and mitigation, whichhelps with planning to prevent futurelosses.

David O’Connor, a liaison betweenFEMA and elected local officials, andinsurance specialist Marty Ostvigoffered help as well. Annette Buress, aconduit between the insurance compa-nies, FEMA and lenders, stressed thatshe would work diligently to ensure theproper handling of insurance claims.
FREEPORT MAYOR ANDREW HARD-WICK welcomed residents to theThanksgiving Day celebration at theRec Center. “Freeport can be unitedand thankful to God for all that westill have after being hit with this post-Sandy crisis,” said Mayor Hardwick ina poster that greeted Freeporters.
Mayor Andrew Hardwick set themood and agenda of the MondayNovember 26 Village Board meetingwith this statement, “Freeport has beenthrough a lot in the past 25 days. Westill have a long way to go. We stillhave a lot of residents hurting.” The nutsand bolts of what needs to be done tobegin this journey were discussed.
Short term borrowingVillage Attorney Howard E. Colton
explained the request for authorizationfor the issuance of a budget note forstorm funding. The village is lookinginto short term borrowing of $4.5 mil-lion.
Of that amount, Mr. Colton saidapproximately $4 million has alreadybeen spent. The breakdown of expenseshe said were as follows: $3.2 million forcleanup, $1.1 million for electrical sup-plies and the remainder for overtime andother expenditures.
Mr. Colton said he expected theFederal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) to reimburse the vil-lage for these expenditures, which iswhy the village is looking into short-term borrowing.
Thanking the first respondersSeveral residents thanked first
responders from the police and firedepartments as well as Department ofPublic Works, the BuildingDepartment and the electric utility.Resident Earline Skates retold a har-rowing tale of her experience withSandy. “I was trapped in my house fortwo weeks.” She said one of her treesand a neighbor’s tree fell onto herhome, preventing her from leavingher home.
She thanked those who responded toher situation. “They made it possiblefor me to get out, get lights and take abath.” She warned, “We had betterstop being irritable and nasty to oneanother because it was a warning.”
Neighbors helping neighborsThe Rev. David Henry of the Freeport
United Methodist Church is offering aspecial way for neighbors to help neigh-bors. On December 8 at the church, on46 Pine Street, the church will be offer-ing a course on how to assist residents inremoving portions of homes destroyedby superstorm Sandy.
The all-day class will focus on theproper way to dismantle and removedamaged materials, and on safety issues,such as wearing a mask and the propershoes. Rev. Henry said there will be a$10 fee for the class. This fee will coverparticipants with insurance, when, afterthey’ve completed the class, they workin teams to help neighbors clean outtheir homes. Those wishing to find outmore about the class should call 369-0659 or 655-6528.
The forensic auditDespite most of the evening being
devoted to talk of Freeport’s efforts atrecovery, the subject, as well as the con-troversy, surrounding the subject of aforensic audit did manage to make itsway into the evening’s discussion. And,as usual, the discussion unravelled to adebate. Resident Pat Rowan read from aletter she said she FOILed, or obtainedvia the Freedom of Information Act,from the state comptroller’s office. Theletter, according to Ms. Rowan, statedthat no further audits were needed.
The mayor then read a letter datedOctober 24, that he said he receivedNovember 4 from state DeputyComptroller Steven J. Hancox. DeputyMayor Jorge A. Martinez asked themayor, though the question went unan-swered, why the board had not beenapprised of this letter earlier.
This letter, according to the mayor,stated that the comptroller’s officewould not make recommendationsregarding any additional audits. Somepointed remarks followed between themayor and Trustee Robert T. Kennedyregarding what actions initiated themayor’s letter.
‘Angels’ from Ohio bring cheerOn Black Friday, three women, Lisa
Walters, founder of Bridges of HopeCharity, Danielle Hayduk, co-founderof The Forever Home Project andlongtime missionary Diane Becker leftOhio for Long Island to serve hot foodto 800 people at the Salvation Armyfacility in Freeport on Saturday,November 24.
“This is truly a work of love that,hopefully, will cause ripple effectsacross America during our time ofneed. New Yorkers have been gener-ous to many causes across the world,and we are a strong breed that will riseto the occasion and stride bolder andgreater as we address the adversitiesthat have been thrown at us,” said LisaWalters.
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving,the three ladies arose quite early todrive to Freeport and to unload theirfully loaded vehicle that contained allthe paper goods, utensils and food thatwas to be used for the expected gueststhat day. Major Guzman had openedthe Freeport Corps building early forthe “Angels” from Ohio and a few vol-unteers were already present to assist
in the operation. It took almost a half-hour to unload.
The ovens were lit, the boxes wereopened, the boxes of lettuce werebeing prepared for a wonderful saladthat would be augmented by “fixings”donated by 7 Brothers of Oceanside. Itwould be another three hours beforeour guests would arrive. The greatsmell of meat lasagna wafted through-out the building and to the outdoors.
Over 90 volunteers of all ages fromdifferent communities showed up toassist this effort, many of them stu-dents, a good age range to learn aboutcaring and giving. They worked forhours and hours in very good spiritswith never a complaint.
Mayor Andrew Hardwick and coun-ty Legislator David Denenberg attend-ed and showed their support. It wasthrough Legislator Denenberg’s inter-vention that so many volunteers gaveof their time.
Those wishing a hot meal were fedand provided with to-go boxes so theycould eat again or feed others in their

The U.S. Housing and UrbanDevelopment Department’s MigdaliaMurati said HUD was doing everythingin its power to identify all the availableunits throughout the city, but that “die-hard Long Islanders” may need toaccept temporary residence in anotherborough due to limited space.
Ms. Murati stated that policychanges have been implemented to“…hold bankers and lenders account-able on how they deal with you.” Forthose with an FHA loan, a 90-daymoratorium preventing banks frompursuing foreclosures or taking anyaction is in effect.
She said that a bank cannot hold yourinsurance money if you are delinquenton a payment, and must issue fundsdirectly out to you. A letter from theorganization informing residents aboutthese issues will be forthcoming.Additional questions can be answeredby calling 1-800-CALL-FHA.
Speaking on behalf of NationalGrid, Alex Kushnir and RayHomberger told the crowd that theywere part of the emergency supportprogram at Cedar Creek Park inSeaford.
Residents were told to visit theirtrailer at this location once they weregiven approval to restore gas service,and a representative would escortthem to their house and immediatelyturn their gas back on.
For those wanting to switch to natu-ral gas service, they were told to call347-844-2835 and speak to Sue.
Residents who already use gas forheat or hot water and suffered equip-ment damage were informed thatNational Grid is offering a $150 cred-it. HEAP (Home Energy AssistanceProgram) customers are being offeredup to $6,000 to replace equipment.Those not qualifying for HEAP maybe eligible for up to $3,000.
Bill Fonda from the stateDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation said waterfront homeowners can restore and raise bulk-heads in an expedited manner as anacquisition of a Notice of Intent and“before and after” pictures are theonly things needed for a permit. Hesaid the DEC is also relaxing stan-dards on the type of material used.
Karen Gomez, the spill responserepresentative with the DEC, said ithas been pumping oil from puddles,crawl spaces and a multitude ofsources. Regarding oil residue left inthe house, sheet rock and insulationmust be disposed, while other itemscan be cleaned. Oil residue on lawnsand outside the home can be left tonaturally degrade over the winter.
Speaking on behalf of the NassauCounty Department of SocialServices, Assistant CommissionerCarl DeHaney said maintaining conti-nuity of those receiving benefits wasits focus following the storm.
He said Governor Andrew Cuomoannounced that those receiving assis-tance who lost food due to a power fail-ure qualified to have 50% of these per-ishables replaced, but the deadline forfiling for such a loss was November 28.
Legal issues/financial offersScott Mager, attorney and national
catastrophe expert, provided adviceon expediting relief money fromFEMA and insurance companies,which he said should both providesupport. The first step necessary forFEMA help is to apply by calling 1-800-621-3362 or applying atwww.disasterassistance.gov.
“Documentation is key” to protect-ing your rights, he said, which meansphotographing damage and clearlylabeling each picture. Taking anaggressive approach by repeatedlycalling and writing FEMA and insur-ance representatives, along withmaintaining records of your commu-nications, will help in getting yourcase stand out among the thousands ofother ones waiting to be processed.
He said there are two basic types ofinsurance – homeowners and flood –and that flood covers only those itemsruined as a direct result of a flood.Understanding the declaration page ofyour insurance policy is essential,including parts A, B, C and D, whichcover specific possessions and needs,and each has a separate deductible.
Should this paperwork be lost,insurance companies must legallyprovide a copy. He said that mostlawyers work on a contingency basisand do not charge a fee until paymentis received, and unlike publicadjusters are able to sue and able toexert additional pressure on insurancecompanies, and often win greatercompensations. The site www.storm-dreamteam.com is another way tohave your claim reviewed.
Legislator Denenberg said thoseneeding advocacy with insuranceissues could also choose to contacteither the Nassau or Suffolk BarAssociation, Nassau or Suffolk LegalServices or their legislator’s office toarrange for free assistance.
Bob Suarez of the Bethpage FederalCredit Union and Ellen Smiley withNEFCU, one of the leading credit unionson Long Island, said that deferred pay-ment loans for Sandy victims were nowbeing offered. Ms. Smiley explained itshurricane relief program is for its mem-bers and that enrollment was free forthose in attendance.
Members waiting for insurance orFEMA checks for house repairs and carreplacement can secure special low-interest rates and deferred paymentplans. Credit cards with 0% interest for12 months are also available.
Property tax reliefLegislator Denenberg addressed the
issue of property tax relief, saying ifyour home’s assessed value decreased,tax relief is a possibility. He explainedthat the 2012-13 school tax and 2013general tax were already set on April1, but residents could challenge theirassessed value for 2014.
Along with Legislators Abrahamsand Scannell, he said he was callingupon the assessment department –which he said has the “silly notion” tofreeze assessments – to instead bewilling to “reduce assessment com-mensurate with what took place,” asthere is almost a negative value tosome homes.

Small Business Saturday has come and gone. Weapplaud all those who took the opportunity to showtheir support for their hometown by doing their hol-iday shopping locally. But it should not be a one-day-of-the-year event.
Reason Number One: An attractive downtownwith viable stores makes the property values of allthe homes in the community soar.
Reason Number Two: Local businesses pay abig share of our local property taxes. Fewer busi-nesses means higher taxes for homeowners.
Reason Number Three: Local businesses areoften asked to contribute to PTA, sports, civic andreligious group fundraisers. Many of them also vol-unteer their help. Some even live here and are yourneighbors and friends.
Reason Number Four: Local businesses alsooften hire locally. Teens who can't drive yet canwalk to work.
Reason Number Five: Local businesses count onyour repeat business, so they bend over backwardto accommodate. They stock your favorite items.Some local eateries even name some of their dishesfor faithful customers!
Reason Number Six: Local businesses helpedfund those holiday decorations that make the holi-days so festive. As you walk down the street admir-ing them you may discover a store you never evennoticed before, and the perfect gift for that specialsomeone.
Reason Number Seven: Because, as HurricaneSandy has shown us, we all need to stick togetherand support each other. Local businesses help sup-port your community newspaper along with thosewho subscribe or buy it on the newsstand. Theyhelp us bring you important news that affects youdirectly. Like you, we can't live without them!

‘Angels’ from Ohio bring cheerhomes or neighborhoods. The ladies hadbrought so much food that what was leftover was donated to a few communityorganizations that were also providing food.This was a win-win situation, for sure.
In early December, in further supportof our great needs, this wonderful groupwill be shipping donations of itemsrequested by the residents of the coastlinetowns directly to a central location inFreeport for distribution. Toiletries,cleaning supplies and small applianceswill be part of this shipment.
Danielle Hayduk, one of the Ohio“Angels” stated, “Volunteers fromMaximo Zion church in Ohio chipped in tobake cookies, bread and quick breads forthe trip. As this grassroots effort catchesthe attention of local media, new volun-teers are joining in and expressing theirdesire to be part of an ongoing effort tohelp Long Islanders get back on their feet.”
Born from a living room conversationby two friends with a similar desire to helpthose in need, the Sandy Relief Effort hasenlisted the talents of seasoned disaster
relief volunteer workers, The SalvationArmy in Freeport, and a myriad of localcompanies, organizations and individualsboth on Long Island and in Ohio.
Lisa Walters founded the Bridges ofHope Charity in early 2012, to promoteevents throughout the year in the Alliancearea highlighting Ohio-based individualsand groups that share a common goal ofbringing the Word of God, unity, and har-mony to Christ’s community.
The Forever Home Project is the brain-child of three Ohio real estate investors,Danielle Hayduk, Brian Woods and PaulBrazie, and addresses the need for afford-able housing for those who aspire tohome ownership but cannot qualify forconventional financing.
Jim Reed, who handled the logisticslocally, exclaimed, “I am fortunate to havehooked up with these wonderful peopleand look forward to their continuedhumanitarian efforts to assist our commu-nities during our time of need. Bless themand everyone else who will join them intheir program to help us overcome theeffects of super- storm Sandy.”

Post-Sandy recovery meetingHempstead Town Senior Councilman
Anthony Santino and the town buildingdepartment will be holding a Baldwin/SouthHempstead Town Hall meeting to help resi-dents impacted by the devastation left byHurricane Sandy. The meeting will be heldon Thursday, December 6, at 7:30 p.m. atBaldwin Middle School (3211 SchreiberPlace, Baldwin).
The town has streamlined the buildingpermitting process and waived fees forresidents of unincorporated areas whoare seeking to rebuild or make repairs tostorm-battered homes.
“Though a month has passed sinceHurricane Sandy left a path of destruc-tion in its wake, many town residents arestill struggling to rebuild their homesand get back to their daily lives,” saidCouncilman Santino. “The Town ofHempstead has taken numerous steps tohelp homeowners along the difficult pathto recovering from this powerful storm.”
The town building department is waiv-ing all permit fees for “in-kind” storm-related structural repairs and temporaryhousing trailers within the unincorporat-
ed areas of Hempstead Town. And, thetown is waiving building variancerequirements for residents (within unin-corporated areas of the township) whowant to rebuild their homes at higher ele-vations to meet FEMA flood standards.
What’s more, the town dispatchedwork crews throughout the township toremove trees and debris from the streets;made extra trips to communities to pickup garbage; went door-to-door to dis-tribute food, water, clothing and clean-ing supplies to residents; opened freewarming and shower locations for resi-dents displaced by the hurricane; and,recently partnered with a local schooldistrict to host an informative seminar todemonstrate how to properly sanitizeonce-flooded homes and safely removedamaged walls, flooring and otherbuilding materials.
“All Baldwin and South Hempsteadresidents are urged to attend this TownHall Meeting on December 6 to helpbecome informed on all the assistancethat is available to them during this dif-ficult time,” concluded Mr. Santino.
