‘Investigate privatization,’ Denenberg urgesNassau County Legislator David
Denenberg (LD 19) is calling on stateAttorney General Eric Schneiderman toinvestigate the legality of privatizing thecounty’s sewage treatment plants as wellas its contract with Morgan Stanley.
The firm was awarded a contract toevaluate and formulate a request for pro-posal (RFP) for the privatization, throughsale or lease, of Nassau County’s sewagetreatment infrastructure and assets. Thecounty has three sewage treatment plantsincluding the Cedar Creek Water PollutionControl Plant in Seaford, the Bay Parkwater treatment facility in East Rockawayand the Glen Cove treatment plant.
Legislator Denenberg made thisannouncement at a press conference at theCedar Creek Park on Thursday, December15. A formal letter calling for an investi-gation was sent to state Attorney GeneralEric Schneiderman and New York StateComptroller Thomas DiNapoli onWednesday, December 14.
“The Republican majority just ratifiedan inside contract with Morgan Stanleywhich was entered into clandestinely 18months ago,” said Mr. Denenberg in a
press release. “Under the contract we arespending $500,000 of taxpayer money tofigure out how to sell sewage treatmentplants that were built with federal andstate funds. How can we ever sell publicassets built with public money?”
But the county has defended its positionin its mutli-year plan, pointing to other“U.S. governments that have successfullypursued similar P3 transactions.”
Furthermore, the memorandumregarding the contract with MorganStanley from Timothy P Sullivan,deputy county executive of finance,stated “it is anticipated that this transac-tion will generate net revenue ofapproximately $400 million for thecounty and aid in bridging the gap toachieving long-term recurring budget-ary balance. Additionally, this transac-tion will retire approximately $465 mil-lion of debt.”
But last week a rating service, Fitch,downgraded the county’s bond rating,citing among other things the sale ofthe sewage treatment assets for one-shot revenue being used to balance thebudget.
Mr. Denenberg, in his letter, wrote thatthe proposed privatization “is a classicone shot budget gimmick that will resultin higher sewage charges to taxpayersand less public oversight of this vitalcounty function and environmentalissue.”
Mr. Denenberg is also requesting thatthe investigation look at the MorganStanley contract with the county and“whether state municipal laws and/orregulations with respect to proper bid-ding processes and proper contractingprocesses were violated.”
The contract was first brought to theLegislature for a Rules Committee reviewand vote on December 5, althoughMorgan Stanley had been retained in thespring of 2010 for $24,500.
This newspaper previously reportedthat Morgan Stanley will receive$100,000 for its contact with the coun-ty per quarter for 2012 as well asanother $100,000 for the last quarterof 2011.
The contract never went before theentire Legislature. It was put through as arules-only contract. Personal service con-
tracts, such as this one, do not have to beapproved by the entire Legislature.Additionally, prior to the December 5vote, Morgan Stanley had been hired for$24,500, a sum that does not need fulllegislative approval.
“The Republicans, including DennisDunne and Peter Schmitt, voted for thecontract,” Mr. Denenberg told this paperin an earlier interview. “It couldn’t havepassed without Dennis’ vote.”
But Legislator Dennis Dunne (LD-15)said “misinformation is being given out.This vote was for the Morgan Stanleycontract only to explore our options, notfor privatization. I did what everyoneshould do. I did my due diligence for astudy that might help us find a way toremove some of the tax burden to thepeople of Nassau County.”
“This will be an above-board process. Itold Tim Sullivan there must be publichearings so that there is a record, so thateverything is transparent. But it maynever happen and if it does, I will listento what the people want. If they want meto vote no, I’ll vote no.”

In a surprise move late on Monday,December 12, the Nassau CountyLegislature approved a contract agree-ment with Veolia Transportation to man-age and operate the Long Island bus sys-tem. The vote was 18-0 in favor of thecontract.
The Long Island Bus system will oper-ate under a new name – Nassau Inter-County Express – starting January 1. Thecontract maintains current fares for oneyear, preserves the Able-Ride servicearea for three years and restores some ofthe MTA’s planned route cuts. The con-tact is for five years, after which time afive-year renewal is possible.
Michael Setzer, vice-president of VeoliaTransportation, wrote in a letter to thisnewspaper [December 7] that the coun-
ty’s contract with Veolia gives it “con-trol in a number of ways, includingoperating the bus system under the over-sight and control of both the county anda transit committee comprising countyresidents. The contract will also providelittle discretion for Veolia over routeadjustments and will require Veolia toissue a quarterly report.
“The contract also allows the county tomake changes to the contract and to uni-laterally terminate its relationship withVeolia with 90 days notice. Veolia mustgive the county one-year’s notice of ter-mination,” said Mr. Setzer.
Kevan Abrahams (Democrat, 1stLD), minority leader of theLegislature, said “Our concern wasthere would be no bus service as ofJanaury 1. We had to do something toensure there would be bus service for
our residents. That’s why we workedso hard to help negotiate a strongercontract,” he said. The MTA contractto run the bus system for NassauCounty will expire December 31.
Legislator David Denenberg told thisnewspaper he and other members of theDemocratic caucus met with represen-tatives of Veolia over the weekend toget some assurances that there wouldbe no fare increases or cuts in servicefor one year, and no cuts to ABLE rid-ers for three years.
Just prior to the vote, LegislatorDenenberg said he was inclined to sup-port the contract, especially sinceVeolia was also hiring Long Island Busdrivers and the mechanics.
But there are complications. Veoliabelieves the MTA was top-heavy andthere will be cuts in administration andsome washers, explained Mr.Abrahams. “But we don’t have all thatinformation yet.”
County Comptroller George Maragosin a review of the contract said therewere both pros and cons to the contract.“It will reduce the annual subsidyexpense [by the county] to $6.6 millionfrom the current of $9.1 million.”
But he also noted “potential servicecuts may impact the portion of federal($16.4 million capital grants) and state($53.9 million in operating assistance)funding received by LIB due to a reduc-tion in service level. This risk would bethe same or greater under the MTAplan.”
Legislator Abrahams countered thatthe “money is still available. The differ-ence is that the federal and state goven-rment will give the money directly to
the county and we must pay Veolia.That money comes to about $35-$40million. The federal funds will subsi-dize the purchase of new buses, whilethe state money will be used for mainte-nance and operations,” he said.
Legislators also tried to smooth outthe concern about the recentannouncement that VeoliaEnvironnement, the French conglom-erate and owner of VeoliaTransportation, plans to exit thetransportation business. But VeoliaTranportation has said the sale willnot effect American operations.
“We asked if the sale represented achange to its warranties,” said Mr.Denenberg.
Veolia, in turn, provided “a bond-ing note, a bank letter to indicate theywould be able to fulfill their con-tract,” explained LegislatorAbrahams.
County Executive Edward Manganothinks this is a positive move for thecounty. “Nassau’s public-private part-nership with Veolia symbolizes a new,smarter and more efficient way ofproviding service in Nassau County.Additionally, true cooperation andinput from legislators on both sides ofthe aisle benefitted Nassau residents,taxpayers and riders alike.”
Editor’s note: Just after our deadlinelast week The Citizen learned about thislast-minute agreement to hire Veolia totake over the bus system in NassauCounty. You can go to our website atwww.wantaghseafordcitizen.com forupdates on developing stories.

As keynote speaker for the evening,social studies teacher Michael Tallarine,said to the honorees, “In your lives
you’ve already been faced with manydecisions, and you have repeatedly setexamples for your peers. You have beendoing the right thing even when it waschallenging or unpopular… You need toremain on the path… Getting inductedinto the National Honor Society is justone step in a long flight of positivedecisions.”
NHS advisor Margaret Swanson ledthe candle-lighting ceremony in whichfour candles were lit to represent schol-arship, service, leadership and charac-ter.

Bc creative this holiday seasonMadison Avenue dictates many of the gifts on our holiday
shopping lists, especially those for the kids. Others requiremore thought. Some of the most imaginative and appreciat-ed gifts can be had right here in our hometown, sparing usfrom crowded parking lots at the malls and big box storesand helping support the local economy. Local merchantshelp pay for local schools and services and they often spon-sor local teams and give to local houses of worship.
Here are a few of our favorite presents given orreceived during holidays past:
• Resetting a cherished ring at Gennaro Jewelers inBellmore, where they also served ruggulah while we waited.
• A gold leaf to leave the cell phone on from Nature’sMuseum in Bellmore.
• Sheet music for a Taylor Swift song special ordered byNew World Music Center in Baldwin and getting afavorite guitar repaired.
• A beanie bear from Merrick Flower Shoppe and achance to visit with the folks who have helped sponsorSanta’s visit for many years.
• A gift certificate for hot yoga sessions.• Calendars for all the family featuring the wedding
photos and created at J&D Card and Gift Emporium inNorth Merrick.
• A kit from the post office in Wantagh that lets you cre-ate your own postage stamps using a photo of a lovedone.
• Dinner at The Schooner on the Nautical Mile inFreeport.
• Chipping in for an operation for a beloved pet.• One lady at the local drug store was buying 10 flash-
lights, one for everyone in her family. She said they wouldbe useful for the folks and fun for the kids. Great idea!
Perhaps these ideas will also help you as last-minuteshopping ideas. And may we add that a gift subscriptionto your hometown paper lasts for 52 weeks!
We are happy to report one of our Merrick readers sawthe ad about “Boutique Alley” in Wantagh and Seaford,enjoyed discovering them, and also finding out where theCurtain Shoppe had moved. Many younger readersattended the Toxin concert in Bellmore benefiting Toysfor Tots. And Luanne’s in Merrick is giving a good chunkof its last-minute shopping sales to United Cerebral Palsy.Mutts and Butts in Merrick donated a truckload of petfood to Bobby and the Strays Animal Shelter in Freeport.Now that’s the holiday spirit!

needs more volunteers to helpwith a fundraiser that couldmake us $10,000 to $20,000 ormore, but in order to reach thatgoal the group needs people tohelp sell raffle tickets.
Here is how is works: Thegroup picks a few trips, Super
Bowl, Stanley Cup, Disneycruise, and land trip, Indy 500,NASCAR, Europe, etc., the pos-sibilities are endless, and givesthe winner their choice of trip.They also get a second prize, ex:a TV and a third prize, ex: aNook. They have to sell, let’ssay, 1,000 tickets at $20 a ticketby April 2. They will pick a win-ner at one of their events, whowill then get to pick the trip oftheir choice. It includes hotel fortwo, airline tickets and extrasand you can downgrade to makeit a family trip.
In order for this to work theyneed a lot of people to agree tosell a book of 10 tickets by April2. Without volunteers this willnot work. It is a chance to helpyour community become a bet-ter place to live, and a goodchance for Seaford to get itsspring sports back. They willnot start this till after the holi-days, when things settle down.

Sewage plantprivatization
To The Citizen:Let’s disband the Nassau County
Police Department and jettison the con-tract and work rules under which it oper-ates. I’m sure we could bring in a pri-vate contractor (Blackwater?) to takeover police responsibilities. That wouldsave a bundle.
How about we terminate regulargarbage pickups and require each citi-zen to bring his or her garbage to a cen-tral location in each community weeklyat a specific time. That too will save tax-payers’ money. We could also requirehomeschooling and virtual classrooms
to save really big dough.None of the above reflect desirable
outcomes. Like policing, primary edu-cation and refuse collection, sewagetreatment is an essential governmentservice which simply cannot be out-sourced to the private sector whosemotive is to make a profit for its owners.
Government does some things welland other things poorly, but thingswhich affect the safety, health and wellbeing of the public must remain solelywith government to administer.Sewage treatment, in a large, denselypopulated county such as ours, mustremain a function of government. I urgeresidents to speak out against privatiza-tion.

Congratulations go to U.S. Premier’sU9 Eagles team for taking second placein the JPSA Halloween Tournament. Theonly Long Island team invited to play inthis upstate showcase, the Eagles went4-1 in the tournament at the JoePalumbo Soccer Academy’s beautifulfacility in the hills of Putnam Valley.
Demonstrating the combination playand possession skills that are the acade-my’s focus, the Eagles put forth anattractive, exciting style of play thatdrew raves from the tournament direc-tor, who also made note of our team’sclean play and sportsmanship, whichmake all within the academy as proud asany victory.
The JPSA tournament originally was
scheduled for Halloween weekend butwas canceled because of that Saturday’ssnowstorm and rescheduled forNovember 12.
As further testament to the academy'sdevelopmental work, one U8 and evenone U7 player were called up to fill in fora couple of players who couldn’t make iton the rescheduled day, and both of themcontributed goals during the tournament.Seven Eagles scored on the day, a stun-ning example of the teamwork stressedby the academy’s training staff.
Well done, Eagles!u u u

Overcoming holiday stress
While most people make the assump-tion that the suicide rate is highest dur-ing the winter holiday season, theexperts at Long Island Crisis Center(LICC) say that the spring months actu-ally rank highest for suicide.
“But, it is true that a lot of us walkaround with a case of the ‘holidayblues,’ which could shade our percep-tion,” states LICC’s associate director,Theresa Buhse.
“Many people who attempt suicidefeel depressed. When they feeldepressed during the winter, it’s actuallyeasier for them to handle their depressedstate because a lot of people aroundthem are feeling ‘down.’ This could bedue to the cold and dreary weather, theearly nightfall, or the coming holidayswhen expectations are set too high!”
What can you do to get yourself outof those holiday blues? Here are a fewsuggestions from the Crisis Center:
• Lower expectations of a “perfect”holiday celebration with friends andfamily – it’s exhausting; go for fun andfriendly instead!
• Take some time for yourself (even a15-minute break!)…get outside, exer-cise, listen to music, read a book;
• Feeling lonely and isolated?Volunteer at the local food bank –you’ll soon see that you’re needed andvalued!
• Don’t get yourself into debt buyingpresents! You won’t be able to enjoythe gift of giving!
• The holiday season is not an excuseto do away with healthy eating andexercise for ten days! Indulge (smalltastings of everything) on the specialdays and your body will feel better;
• Keep your sense of humor intact todeal with difficult situations (an annoy-ing relative or a burnt turkey!).
Of course, Long Island Crisis Centeris available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week throughout the holiday season foranyone who is having difficulty copingwith the “blues.” Call 679-111 for free,confidential and anonymous crisiscounseling or go online to www.lic-conline.org and chat instantly with alive counselor.
Got the holiday blues…It’s normalby Dana Walters, DC
While the holidays can be fun andjoyful, many people experience stressand anxiety during this time of year.The American Institute of Stress recom-mends that you take time to pinpoint thesource of your stress. Once you havedetermined the trigger of your feelingsyou can take measures to reduce thephysical and emotional effects.
Holiday stress can stem from finan-cial burdens from holiday shopping, toomany social obligations, dealing withthe recent loss of a loved one and thephysical stress of overindulging. Toensure that your holiday is enjoyableand as stress-free as possible, there is astrategy that you can incorporate intoyour life.
Nutrition can play a big part in reduc-ing stress. “When our bodies aren’toperating at peak efficiency, we feelstressed, and our immune systemsaren’t operating at the level they shouldbe,” comments Gilles Khouri, the direc-tor of dean/St. Mary’s Healthworks atSt. Mary’s Hospital in Madison,Wisconsin.
“The holidays can play havoc withour health. In winter we tend to cravefats and sweets, but ironically, the morefat and sugar we eat, the less energy wehave, and the more stressed and rundown we feel.”
Another thing overly stressed peopletend to do is skip meals. With busy lives,
it’s important to take time to eat severalsmall meals a day to keep your energygoing and to prevent mindless snacking.If you do not have time for meal prepa-ration, Dr. Dana Walters of ChiroMomrecommends choosing a wellness shakethat is low in sugar and rich in nutrientsincluding protein and fiber.
Exercise increases your overall healthand well being and also has stress-relieving benefits. The Mayo Clinicreports that virtually any form of exer-cise can act as a stress reliever. Even ifyou are not an avid athlete, a 10-minutebrisk walk can improve your mood andlower the symptoms associated withmild depression and anxiety. Exercisecan also improve your sleep, which canease your stress levels.
Chiropractic adjustments can also bebeneficial to help reduce the effects ofstress on our bodies. An adjustmenthelps remove muscle and nerve tensionfrom the body, thereby reducing stress,says Dr. Walters. When irritation fromthe nervous system is removed we canfunction better overall and handlestressful situations more effectively.
Andrew Weil, MD, said that“Massage therapy that focuses on elim-inating muscle spasm and trigger pointscan be a useful adjunct with chiroprac-tic therapy.”
