The following is excerpted fromReceiver of Taxes Don Clavin’s officialbiography:

Hempstead Town Receiverof Taxes Don Clavin is a thirdgeneration resident of theTown of Hempstead, where heand his wife are proud to beraising their two young daugh-ters. Mr. Clavin earned aBachelor of Arts degree in his-tory from Canisus College inBuffalo and a Doctorate ofJurisprudence from HofstraUniversity School of Law. Hewas a trial attorney practicingin all New York courts as wellas the United States FederalDistrict Courts.

Since becoming receiver of taxes, Mr.Clavin has made a commitment toenhance services while being fiscallyresponsible. The Nassau Herald

described him as “using humor and a bitmore honesty than the public usuallyreceives from its government officials”

(March 2011).Two satellite tax offices werecreated in Lawrence andHicksville, in addition toextending office hours from 8a.m.- 6 p.m. during the tax pay-ment seasons for the conven-ience of taxpayers. Moreover,Mr. Clavin uses HempsteadTown’s Mobile Town Hall,obtained through a New YorkState grant from state SenatorCharles Fuschillo Jr., to collecttaxes and address the concernsof town residents.

Don has implemented an e-mailreminder program to help taxpayersmake timely tax payments. Taxpayersnow have the convenience of payingtheir tax bills by credit card or e-check,

online or by telephone. He has created the first drive-through

tax payment window in New York State.All of these initiatives and projects havebeen completed and operate at no addi-tional cost to the taxpayers!

Don Clavin proposed and successful-ly obtained state legislation known as“The Clavin Law,” that requires banksbe financially responsible to pay resi-dents’ tax penalties if they do not notifytheir mortgage customers of their legalrights and responsibilities upon satisfac-tion of their mortgage.

In addition, he also successfullyobtained state legislation in 2011 toallow for future e-tax bills and e-taxreceipts for residents who opt into thisforthcoming program. He is proud ofthis accomplishment that will save mil-lions in future mailing and productioncosts, modernize government, and helpour environment.

Don Clavin also worked to success-fully urge New York governors to signexecutive orders that extended time for

tax payments for those families affectedby the terrorist attacks of September 11,2001 and residents stuck at home in theFebruary Blizzard of 2010.

One of Mr. Clavin’s most noteworthyaccomplishments is the redesign of thetax bills. Now printed “in-house” on alaser printer in a more cost-effectivemanner, the new bills are much easier toread and understand. The most impor-tant facet of the redesigned bills is thatthey provide residents with a breakdownof how their tax dollars are being spent.Never before have residents been pro-vided with such a clear and concise taxbill.

For his accomplishments, Don Clavinwas named “one of Long Island’s 40 ris-ing stars under the age of 40” by LongIsland Business News.

Mr. Clavin is a member of the GardenCity Kiwanis Club, Irish Americans inGovernment, the New York State TrialLawyers Association, the NassauCounty Bar Association, and theKnights of Columbus.

The campaign of Wilton Robinson Jr.has released the following biography:

A Voters GuideThis is the last issue of your community newspaper before

the November 8 election. It is also the week we traditionallypublish the portion of the League of Women Voters Guide thataffects our publication area. It is reprinted with their permission.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan group ofvoters, with membership open to both men and women, butfounded by women when they gained the right to vote. Inaddition to the annual voters guide, the league also publish-es guides to registering to vote and obtaining an absenteeballot, contact information for elected officials, and variousresearch papers on issues of interest. They train to be moder-ators in local candidates’ debates. And they host forums onimportant issues also, all this as unpaid volunteers doingtheir civic duty.

Years ago the league honored your community newspa-per’s publisher along with Joye Brown of Newsday’s edito-rial board. A dear friend, now gone, came to the luncheonand brought me a T-shirt she had decorated with the image ofthe Statue of Liberty, whose 125th anniversary we celebratethis week. She had made one minor change. The statuewielded a pen instead of a torch.

Bente Hamann must have loved the Statue of Liberty asmuch as she loved New York City. She came to this countrywith her husband when he joined the art department of thefledgling United Nations. Here, she launched a career as ajournalist and later book designer and production chief at topNew York publishing houses. He rose in the United Nations tobecome its Postmaster General. He was the artist whodesigned the “flag” or distinctive nameplate of this newspaper.

Together, they raised a daughter, Kristine, who became alawyer and has held important posts in the state and city jus-tice system. They helped raise two granddaughters, one alawyer and the other a designer. You could say all three gen-erations have lived the American Dream, promised by theStatue of Liberty at the entrance to our shores.

Bente Hamann’s artistic rendering of that symbol of ourfreedom wielding a pen makes me think of many famousjournalists who have brought light to important subjects thataffect our freedom. But it also makes me think of the Leagueof Women Voters, helping us to make informed decisions onvoting day.

Our thanks to them, and to the public spirited sponsorswho are helping us bring the voters guide to you this week.They are listed below: Compare Foods, Drs. John F. Mastersand Orkideh Naghavi and The Freeport-Baldwin Leader.

Art exhibitA mixed media artwork Exhibit by J.

W. Seidenberg will be on display at thelibrary during the month of November.

“In the art that I am presenting onewill see that the material I employ, inthe main, have or have had more thanone use or purpose. To have a thoughtand then to combine items to form anart piece is always challenging, exper-imental, and joyous, collage, mixedmedia, found art, and assemblage artmay be considered appropriate desig-nations of my art work.”

“The Canarsie dump was always atreasure trove for me, finding assortedparts and material to take home,arrange, assemble and create a work.”

“My mother, a busy homemaker,was art and music appreciative. Myfather, a millinery model operator, hadgreat talented hands and usually foundemployment during the Depression.My siblings are and were accom-plished in their professional and com-mercial endeavors.”

“All the public schools that I attend-ed provided me with a good overalleducation, awareness, instruction andappreciation of some form of art. NYU(both under- and postgraduate) andWashington University DentalSchools, St. Louis, enabled me toachieve my professional degree.Essentially three times in the serviceduring the Korean War followed.”

“Fifty years later I retired from pro-

fessional practice and now I am betterable to actively further pursue my“wonders-full avocation.”

“Truly and continually grateful am Iof all who in varied ways, have aidedme along the way.”

Against the Waterworks plan

To The Leader:I am writing to continue to voice my

opposition to the proposed plan to builda 127-unit rental apartment building atthe location of the former BrooklynWaterworks property.

I am adamantly opposed to this unrea-sonable plan. For many obvious reasonsthis plan is a disaster for the Village ofFreeport. The Brooklyn Waterworksproperty was an aesthetic architecturaldesign.

The proposed apartment unit plan isoutside the nature of the character of theneighborhood. The rental unit construc-tion would not only destroy the tone ofthe village, it will also have a negativeeffect by causing high density of trafficjams on our already overburdened thor-oughfares.

This plan should be overwhelminglyrejected, as Brookside Preserve shouldbe of paramount concern. BrooksidePreserve should be cared for, utilizedand expanded since we now have the

opportunity to create the atmospheremost desired by the taxpayers of theVillage of Freeport. The construction ofthe six-story building will alter the envi-ronment in the preserve. This is unac-ceptable and completely inappropriate.Our goal first and foremost should be topreserve the surrounding area.

I propose that the village commenceserious discussions with the owner GaryMelius and the County of Nassau.Legislator Dave Denenberg and I haveoffered and stand ready to negotiatewith the county and request that thecounty purchase the former BrooklynWaterworks property through twosources available to us.

We can acquire the property throughthe Open Space Acquisition Fund andthrough an Environmental Bond Actapplication.

I suggest we the county, the village,and Mr. Melius work together so we candrop the absurd proposal of a rentalcomplex and work toward expanding ahealthier, ascetically correct and wel-comed open space project.

Meet the town and county candidates by Linda Delmonico Prussen

Local civic groups co-hosted a “Meetthe Candidates” forum last week atMerrick Road Park Clubhouse. The eventwas attended by about 50 residents and16 candidates.

The many candidates for judicial posi-tions made it clear early on, and often,that, ethically, they could only discusstheir qualifications and not politics.

County Court judgeDemocratic candidate Elizabeth Kase

said she was running for a 10-year termin the felony court because “I really wantto devote myself again to communityservice.” Judge Kase said she had been afelony court prosecutor in Manhattanbefore joining her father’s private prac-tice in Garden City. She has since takenover that practice and is also serving asan appointed judge in Baxter Estates inPort Washington. Judge Kase said shewas found “well qualified” by the NassauCounty Bar Association.

Town of Hempstead supervisorDemocratic candidate Gary Port is an

attorney practicing matrimonial and com-mercial law. He is also a lieutenantcolonel in the U.S. Army Reserves. Hesaid, “How many nice Jewish boys in the’80s joined the Army? I did, because Ihave a sense of purpose.”

He said people are leaving the Town ofHempstead because there are no jobs.“Without jobs everything falls apart.” Hesaid, “I promise if I get elected I’ll cut theTown of Hempstead supervisor salary by25%.” He said he’d cut other town boardsalaries by 10%. He said he’d cut mail-ings. He said in order to bring in jobs,“We need to market the town. We need tofix the zoning.”

19th Legislative DistrictMerrick chiropractor Fred Jones is run-

ning as the Republican challenger in the19th Legislative District. Mr. Jones said,“I just don’t like the way things aregoing. Nassau County is broken.” Mr.Jones said has been a resident of Merrickfor 27 years and is a volunteer in theFreeport Fire Department. When askedabout closing police stationhouses he saidhe believes in “consolidating” policeprecincts and redistricting with substa-tions. Mr. Jones said this will not cause aloss of police jobs.

Democratic incumbent LegislatorDave Denenberg said, “We really have tomake Nassau County sustainable in thelong run.” He said, “We don’t want to

lose our quality of life.” He said he isagainst closing down police stations. Hesaid, “We really have an issue where our

public safety and quality of life are atrisk.” He cites a reaction time of 57 sec-onds to the recent pit bull attack in North

Merrick. He said, “Nassau County also

It was the first time Freeport lost afootball game this season and it was thefirst time that Freeport played in a win-tery mix of snow and rain beforeHalloween. Every game finds the teamdoctoring their bumps and bruises butthis was the first time that hypothermiawas a real opponent for both teams.

Evan Lapice returned the opening kick-off with an 80-yard run for the RedDevils. Then Treyvon Mask, who wasBaldwin’s “go-to guy,” scored on a 19-yard run with just 1:03 left in the firstquarter. Baldwin recovered an onside kickand scored on a 12-yard run by Pat Dillon.

Freeport scored on an 18-yard run byQuarterback Isaiah Barnes and thenBaldwin scored on a 56-yard run byMask. Barnes scored once again on a 20yard run and the score was tied 18-18 athalf. Kicking was out of the questionwith high winds, driving sleet, snow,rain and poor visibility, and all attempt-ed conversion runs failed.

The Red Devils had no answer forBaldwin’s two second-half touchdownsas the field got muddier and ruttier asthe game progressed. Both Baldwin andFreeport will have to do some fieldrepair this week to ready themselves fornext week’s opening round of theNassau County Football Playoffs.

The JV teams played at Freeport inthe morning and Freeport won thatgame. However, both fields were casual-ties of horrible weather and unusualgame activity.

Stars on paradeMonique Jones and Chevonne

Their skills complement each other sowell. Monique is fierce at net andChevonne can cover the back court nice-ly. The girls have played together forthree years and have improved eachyear.

Deon Edionwe was selected to AllConference tennis honors. She accumu-lated a 5-5 record in the second singlesposition, served as co-captain of theteam and showed outstanding leadershipon and off the court.

She will also be the recipient of theCoaches’ Award at the December 4 FallAwards Dinner while Lauren Workmanwill receive the Team SportsmanshipAward. First singles Kayla Johnsonearned the Nassau County Section VIIISportsmanship Award.

To celebrate Hispanic HeritageMonth, the Columbus Avenue EarlyChildhood Center in the FreeportSchool District held a special assemblythat showcased performances from fiveof its Dual Language program classes.

Principal Peggy Miller opened theshow with a warm greeting to the stu-dents and visiting parents, explainingthe importance of celebrating familyheritage.

The fun, educational and interactivesinging performances began with musicteacher Stephanie Arnell, the coordina-tor of the event, leading the assembly ina lively performance of “Bate, BateChocolate,” a children’s ditty that loose-ly translates to “Mix, Mix theChocolate.”

Catherine Byrne’s and Raquel Lucas’sclasses maintained high energy withtheir performance of “Manos Arriba,Manos Abajo,” a sing-along that encour-aged the audience to raise and lower

their hands with the singers. TeachersAna Fruchtnis and Cindy Nicholasbrought in a visual element with plac-ards they had prepared for their classes’singing of “Los Siete Días de laSemana” (“The Seven Days of theWeek”).

Mrs. Arnell then projected a series offlags on a portable SMART Board aspart of a quiz show in which studentswere challenged to “Guess the Country”the flag represented. A show of handsdemonstrated that many of the studentswere up to the challenge.

Transitional ESL teacher EmmyNicholas and her class, who were billedin the program as “The Latin All-StarDancers,” closed out the assembly withtheir interpretation of the merengue, atraditional dance from the DominicanRepublic. Parents, staff and studentsclapped along to the lively number.

As Principal Miller described theevent, “We’re a multicultural communi-ty, and the way we celebrate our diversi-ty and commonality is with music anddance.”

In fact, St. Francis has the most physicians recommendedfor cardiac care on Long Island.
