Hurricane Help in Our Communities

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumerwarned insurance companies not to tryto skirt their obligations to policyholdersin the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

In an article written in the FinancialTimes by Alistair Gray and Anjli Raval,the writers reveal that insurers believethe storm will cause them losses ofbetween $10 and $20 billion and arepushing to have “Sandy” reclassified inorder to increase deductibles for home-owners.

Although the storm is referred to as“Hurricane Sandy,” the storm is tech-nically classified as a “post-tropicalcyclone” by the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration’s(NOAA) National Weather Service.This means that insurance companiescannot trigger the higher hurricanedeductibles, which can be as high as5% of the property’s value. The pres-ent nonhurricane classification limitsliability to about $1,000.

“Superstorm Sandy left many home-owners’ lives in shambles, and privateinsurance companies – who have col-lected thousands and thousands of dol-lars in premiums – should be doingeverything possible to help them cleanup the mess and rebuild, not trying toskirt their obligations,” SenatorSchumer said in a news statement.

“The state and federal governmentboth classified this storm as a post-trop-ical cyclone, not a hurricane, and insur-ance companies shouldn’t try to alterreality to save money on the backs ofhomeowners.”

Furthermore, the New York StateDepartment of Financial Services,based on that determination, also toldinsurance companies operating in the

state that they cannot use the higherhurricane deductibles.

Despite the rulings to the contrary,the Financial Times article says theinsurance industry is planning to chal-lenge the determination directly withNOAA, through the courts, or simplyby disregarding the ruling and charginghomeowners the higher deductible.

“Do not go down this road,” SenatorSchumer warned. “Elected officials andregulators at all levels of governmentare watching. NOAA should standfirm in their determination. If NOAAcontinues to classify the storm as anonhurricane, it will make it more chal-lenging for insurance companies tochallenge the designation at both thestate level and in the courts.”

No alterations plannedThe insurance companies The

Citizen spoke with – Allstate and StateFarm – said they will not apply hurri-cane deductibles for customers.

“This decision will hopefully providesome additional measure of comfortand relief for our customers who arestruggling to get back on their feet afterthis devastating storm,” said Thomas J.Wilson, Allstate chairman, presidentand chief executive officer in an emailsent to The Citizen from its corporateoffice in Illinois.

State Farm Insurance representativeArlene Lester added that “we did ourown studies and determined that thisstorm was not a hurricane deductible.”

However, State Farm continues todrop homeowners’ policies for homes incoastal flood zones south of MerrickRoad in Nassau County.

“This policy, regarding coastal expo-

sure, was determined a few years ago.Our determination is based on ourunderwriting information, which is pro-prietary,” explained Ms. Lester.

Kyle Strober, chief of staff for SenatorSchumer’s Long Island office, said thesenator wants to make sure insuranceagencies know he is watching them.

In a letter to the presidents and CEOsof the American Insurance Association,the National Association of MutualInsurance Companies and the PropertyCasualty Insurers Association ofAmerica, Senator Schumer wrote:“rather than wasting time and resourceschallenging the technical determinationof the NWS [National Weather Service]and government officials, insurancecompanies should be putting boots on

the ground to process claims as quicklyas possible in order to avoid the kind ofdelays we’ve seen following other natu-ral disasters.”

“When you receive information aboutyour deductible, make sure it is classi-fied as a tropical storm and not a hurri-cane deductible,” Mr. Strober explained.

Furthermore, flood damage is exclud-ed under standard homeowners’ andrenters’ insurance policies, says theInsurance Information Institute website.Flood coverage is available in the formof a separate policy from the NationalFlood Insurance Program and a few pri-vate insurers, said the website.

Helping HandsThanksgiving is traditionally a time of gathering family and

friends where “many hands make light the work.” That is some-thing we should all remember this year. Don’t be like the house-wife who stresses out thinking she has to do it all herself, andeverything must be perfect. Thanksgiving is a lot more fun wheneverybody helps.

So too, if your house has been flooded by the Hurricane orNor’easter, it is okay to ask for help, to pick up warm food at theRed Cross or have your laundry done there. Like a tree, you haveto bend or you will break. This year’s Rockefeller CenterChristmas Tree from Mt. Olive, New Jersey, was a Sandy sur-vivor. Be like that tree!

Guest Editorial:Power to the people

by Susan L. Nurni Marconi

“Some things you just can’t make up” is what they say.“Prepare for a storm, it’s gonna be a big one that just may blowus away.”We all know what we are supposed to do to prepare for emergen-cies, right?But we never follow instructions and then panic when the stormis in sight.We have survived the wrath of Gloria, Irene and now we metSandy and her devastation.So many lost their homes, and were flooded, especially those inlow elevation.The seashore was high as it could go; the tide and moon were allin line.All of these occurrences happening at once, we knew it was not agood sign.Power was lost early in the storm, huge trees came crashing to theground,The winds so strong, all became dark and dismal, all you couldhear was sirens and a howling type sound.How could Mother Nature be so destructive, with no mercy for uson Long Island?Those near the shore were swept into the ocean or just coveredwith sand.People waking up without lights, heat, or some with no home atall,What could be done, there is no one even to call.Life as we knew it is over for now, feeling helpless and hopeless,cold and alone.The TV won’t turn on, no batteries at hand, food is spoiling fast,no heat or hot water, not even a dial tone.Is this some sort of really bad joke, or nightmare, as it just does-n’t seem real?Climates are changing, people are frantic worried and sick andstarting to steal.Signs are posted cursing the power authorities as well as the pub-lic officials.Everyone blaming each other for those who have no power still.

SCOUTS HELP SANDY VICTIMS: Over twenty-five scouts from the Theodore RooseveltCouncil, Boy Scout Troop 189 of Temple B’nai Torah in Wantagh, their leaders and familymembers, teamed up with the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy.They reported to the staging area in Lido Beach where they were assigned an outreach pro-gram on the West End of Long Beach knocking on doors to see if residents were in need ofhelp, identifying houses with elderly residents, supplying food, water, information and helpingresidents to salvage their personal belongings.

With a surge of cooperation,camaraderie and support, theSeaford School District reopenedits doors to three of its fourschools, November 6, and returnedto full operation, November 13 —two weeks after superstorm Sandytore through the tri-state region anddevastated those in its path.

Students from the powerlessHarbor Elementary School spentthree days receiving instruction atManor Elementary School wherecombined classes accommodatedthe nearly 600 additional studentsuntil the school passed an electricalinspection and regained power.

“Everyone has been extremelyhelpful in executing recovery plansfrom this unprecedented storm,”said Superintendent Brian Conboy.“In true Seaford fashion our staff,students and parents came togetherto almost seamlessly combine two

elementary schools and regain asense of normalcy. I am thoroughlyimpressed by their outstandingefforts.”

Prior to re-opening, administra-tors devised a plan to transportHarbor Elementary Students toand from Manor ElementarySchool and instituted otherinstructions to ensure a smoothtransition for all students and staff.The plan was posted on the districtwebsite and announced throughthe district’s automated phone sys-tem, Shout Point.

Families have been asked toupdate their child’s emergency con-tact information and contact the dis-trict if they find themselves newlyeligible for transportation orreduced or free meals due to theimpact of superstorm Sandy. For more information, visitwww.seafordschools.k12.ny.us.

Good communication starts with good hearingby Keri Oppenheimer,M.S., CCC-A, FAAA

Have you been told you have a hearingloss by those who love you?

This expression of affection, care andconcern is likely due to your exhibiting afew common hearing loss symptoms:

• Conversations in noisy public places(restaurants, crowded rooms) are difficultto follow.

• Soft or whispered speech is difficultto understand.

• You sometimes feel people are mum-bling, or not speaking clearly.

• You often have need to ask others tospeak up or repeat themselves.

• You may find yourself less sociallyactive to avoid hearing loss embarrass-ment.

The reality is: hearing loss developslater in our lives, slowly and gradually. Itdoes not recede, and is a permanent con-dition.

Now here’s the good news: today’s

hearing aids are capable of helping youhear better in situations that are importantto you: family, friends, business.

You may have been putting off seekinga solution to your reduced hearing, but aquick visit to your local hearing centerwill reveal some very pleasant surprises,a solution to your hearing loss, and arestoration of your relationship to theworld around you!

The hearing center in your communityshould have the leading technology in thehearing aid industry. They’ll first performan examination for any physical condi-tions that may affect your hearing loss.Then, using state-of-the-art equipment, acomprehensive hearing test will indicateyour specific hearing-support needs.

I did mention some pleasant surprises,didn’t I? Here’s one: the hearing centeryou select should offer discounts andexcellent financing plans. They shouldalso consult your healthcare plan to deter-mine your specific hearing aid coverage.Another nice surprise: many hearing aidsare so discreet...they’re barely visible!

So, visit or call your local hearingcenter, and do ask for references. Yournew hearing aids will vastly improveyour quality of life, and put an end tothe tendency of social isolation.You’llsoon be engaged in stress-free conver-sations, and, no doubt (and to the

delight of many), you may now lowerthe volume on that TV!

Coping with catastropheThese past few weeks has been a cat-

astrophic episode in the lives of so manyin our Long Island community. With somany agencies, organizations and vol-unteers working towards a speedyrecovery and clean-up, it seems thatlives will be back to normal soon.

“However, we know that disasters cantake a great emotional toll on thoseimpacted by them and can be longer-lasting than the disaster itself,” accord-ing to Linda Leonard, ExecutiveDirector of Long Island Crisis Center.

“As people resume their routinelifestyles and less media attention isgiven to the crisis, there are those whowill be left thinking they are alone andisolated.”

At this stage, it is important to recog-nize the signs of emotional distress andthe Crisis Center has put together a listof warning signs for people to consider:

• Sleeping too much or too little• Stomachaches or headaches• Anger, feeling edgy or lashing out at

others• Overwhelming sadness• Worrying a lot of the time• Feeling like you have to keep busy

• Lack of energy or always feelingtired

• Drinking alcohol, smoking or usingtobacco more than usual or using illegaldrugs

• Eating too much or too little• Not connecting with others• Feeling like you won’t ever be

happy againJust as important as knowing the

warning signs of distress is the impor-tance of knowing when to ask forhelp…and that help is available:

• Call Long Island Crisis Center, 24hours a day/7 days a week at 679-1111

• Chat online with a counselor atwww.licconline.org

• Text “LICC” to 839863“The Crisis Center was able to con-

tinue its 24/7 hotlines throughout thepower outages. Counselors spoke tomany people who were in the midst ofdealing with various stages of destruc-tion and loss in their lives due toHurricane Sandy,” adds Ms. Leonard.

“Now we need to make sure thathelp and support get to those who aretrying to manage and survive the disas-ter emotionally.”

The distribution center has clothing forinfants through adults, non-perishable fooditems, cleaning supplies, toiletries, andother necessities for distribution

The project began with a discussionbetween Sara Valisakos, the director ofPixie Nursery School, her staff, and Ron

Garner, the pastor of Wantagh MemorialCongregational Church. The PTAs of theWantagh Schools found out about the proj-ect and joined in with collection and distri-bution.

The Wantagh PTAs are providing volun-teers to assist at the distribution centerwhich is open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-7p.m. daily.

The distribution center is located atWantagh Memorial CongregationalChurch at 1845 Wantagh Avenue.

More relief for SeafordThe Seaford Chamber of Commerce,

in a coordinated effort with the SeafordHarbor Civic Association and theSeaford School District PTAs, are spon-soring a relief fund for superstormSandy victims. Phil Franco, president ofthe Seaford Harbor Civic Associationtold The Citizen that monetary dona-tions are needed. Mail checks to:Seaford Chamber Relief Fund, PO Box1634, Seaford 11783.

In other news, Mr. Franco said thatour fellow citizens from Pennsylvaniawere in Seaford the past two weekendswith a load of clothes. Mr. Francobelieves our kind visitors are Amish. Hesaid they were also helping severalhomeowners with repairs to neighbor-hood homes.

Help has also arrived from our neigh-bors in Georgia. “Seaford has beenadopted by the community of DeKalb,Georgia,” said Mr. Franco. Details abouthow that community will help our com-

munity were not known at press time,but certainly whatever help these gener-ous people can provide is greatly appre-ciated.

A little closer to home, The Citizenlearned that people have been goingdoor-to-door in South Seaford to hand-deliver flyers asking people what theymight need. Residents can fill out theform and drop it off at the SeafordLibrary, CVS or Pathmark on MerrickRoad in Seaford and someone will getthose items to you.

“We are asking people to please checkon their neighbors. We are especiallyconcerned about the elderly,” said Mr.Franco.

Finally, there will be a freeThanksgiving Dinner at the Knights ofColumbus Hall on Jackson Avenue,Seaford, on Thanksgiving Day between2 and 5 p.m. Call Alice at 313-2987, ifyou and your family would like toattend.

Power has been restored to 97% of resi-dences and businesses that were not dam-aged by flood intrusion, Michael Hervey,CEO for Long Island Power Authority, andJohn Bruckner, Long Island president ofNational Grid, said at a press conferenceon Monday.

“Power should be restored to 99% of thepopulation by the end of Tuesday[November 13],” Mr. Hervey reported.[Mr. Hervey submitted his resignation asinterim CEO of LIPA on November 13,effective at the year’s end.]

However, 17,000 customers alongNassau’s South Shore cannot be re-ener-gized because of damage to their circuitbox or because no one was home when aninspector came by. “The meters werepulled,” explained Mr. Bruckner.

To return service to these individual cus-tomers, Mr. Hervey said LIPA will allow alicensed electrician to “repair [if neces-sary], certify and replug the meter. Theobject is to get houses back on.”

Individual homeowners should contact alicensed electrician who will know how toget your home back online and repowered.

There is now a workforce of 15,000 peo-ple including 6,400 linemen working onrestoration plus another 3,000 working toclear hazardous limbs from trees.

However, “there may be some new out-ages as we monitor the system and fix it,”said Mr. Hervey.

To report an outage or downed powerlines call LIPA’s hotline at 800-490-0075or 631-755-6900.

To review updates on LIPA’s efforts to restore power you can access their map online at www.lipower.org/ stormcenter/outagemap.html, which isupdated every 15 minutes.

Rebuilding – insurance assistanceThe state Department of Financial

Services is available at Cedar Creek Parkin Seaford daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. tooffer residents advice on how to file aninsurance claim for property damage fromHurricane Sandy.

Representatives are present from severalof the nation’s largest insurance compa-nies, including Allstate, MetLife, NewYork Life, Travelers and USAA.

In addition, County Executive Edward P.Mangano suggested the following meas-ures for Nassau County residents withproperty damage:

• The first step to getting your homerestored is to contact your insurance com-pany and/or agent with your policy num-ber and other relevant information. Beaware that your policy might require thatyou make this notification within a cer-tain time frame.

• Take photographs or video of thedamage before cleanup or repairs. Afteryou’ve documented the damage, makerepairs necessary to prevent further dam-age to your property, such as coveringbroken windows.

• Do not have permanent repairs madeuntil your insurance company has inspect-ed the property and you have reached anagreement on the cost of repairs. Be pre-pared to provide the claims adjuster withrecords of any improvements you madeprior to the damage. Save all receipts,including those from the temporary repairs.

• If your home is damaged to the extentthat you cannot live there, ask your insur-ance company or insurance agent if youhave coverage for additional livingexpenses.

• Ask what documents, forms and datayou will need to file the claim. Keep a

diary of all conversations you have withthe insurance company and your insuranceagent, including names, times and dates ofthe calls or visits, and contact details.

• Be certain to give your insurance com-pany all the information it needs. Incorrector incomplete information may cause adelay in processing your claim.

• If the first offer made by the insurancecompany does not meet your expectations,be prepared to negotiate. If there is a dis-agreement about the claim, ask the compa-ny for the specific language in the policyin question and determine why you and thecompany interpret your policy differently.

If you believe you are being treatedunfairly, contact the New York StateDepartment of Financial Services at 1-800-339-1759.

• Consumers should contact their insur-ance company, agent or broker to getanswers to specific questions about theirpolicies. Consumers who need further helpshould feel free to contact the New YorkState Department of Financial Services at1-800-339-1759.

Guest Editorial:Power to the people

“If you loot I will shoot” is one sign I just saw.Will things ever be the same, like gas rationing now it's the law?Lines we are waiting in for everything it seems, it just doesn't seem fair.This storm, although expected, the damage left is just too much to bear.Even and odd what’s on your license plate, this is a whole new entrance into Hell’sgate.Schools are closed, the system’s down, public transportation has come to a halt.The 7-11 and Dunkin’ Donuts have run out of coffee. Caffeine addicts are nervouswrecks, and the bank has our money locked in the electronic vault.United We Stand is how we have to be.Help your fellow neighbor and friend, as it could be you or me.No one gets away without feeling her wrath.We don’t know what else could possibly lie in our path.Is this some kind of warning or wake-up call?‘Cause we New Yorkers are resilient, we rise up high and stand tall.Maybe this storm has a lesson it is trying to teach,But why did it come with such a cost, like taking away beautiful Long Beach?The marathon was canceled; Halloween happened, Election Day came and went asdid the Veterans Day parade.Thanksgiving is around the corner, just being grateful for life, home and hearth andthe food you made.As many live this type of life every day not knowing what will be. Life has no guar-antees.They have nothing left but are just happy to be alive and free.May we all realize that we are fragile, and lives can be changed without warning.Survive and sustain, as this could be just the beginning of what to expect with GlobalWarming?If the wind and the rain weren’t enough, you say,The nor’easter had to come and snow on us today.It is so sad that our shoreline has been erased and washed out to sea,If I meet up with a hurricane ever again may she not be related to the savage stormnamed Sandy!God bless all the emergency help and those who really endured the pain and suffer-ing of this dame,We will be whole again, weather is unpredictable, and no one is to blame. Power tothe People. Lights On!

It’s that time of year again. Theleaves have changed, there’s a chill inthe air and the holiday season is uponus!

To many of us, the holidays are atime to get together with family, friendsand coworkers. It’s a time when familygatherings and work parties may takeprecedence over something that themajority of individuals reading thisarticle share a passion for: fitness!

And with our love for fitness comesthe ever-popular regimented nutritionplan that we all take pride in.

Now, this doesn’t mean that you haveto throw in the towel during this time ofyear. It might just take a few minoradjustments to your routine to enjoyyourself at social gatherings, all with-out missing a beat on your diet.

Following are five basic tips thatmay help you get through your officeparty or your work holiday dinner with-out totally sabotaging your hard workand efforts!

Eat your normal diet on party dayIt may seem logical to “bank” calo-

ries throughout the day. But, in reality,skipping breakfast, lunch and/or nor-mal snacks will only set you up for dis-aster. You’ll end up feeling unfulfilledand ravenous by the time you hit thebig event, overindulging on things thatyou might not normally eat!

So, before saving up your calories,think twice. Again, pick a few favoriteitems and stick to one portion each –you will feel much better in the longrun.

Eat your veggiesOnce you’re at the party, scope out

the location of the veggie tray. Fillingup on snacks such as raw vegetableswill help you feel full, allowing you toeat less during the party.

Beware, though: even eating a littlebit of creamy ranch dip can add up to alot of calories in the end! Spoon a smallamount of dip onto your plate and once

it's gone, that's it!

Pick one dessertScan the dessert tray or table during

the social function. Take time to thinkabout which dessert you would wantmore than any other and choose thatdessert. It’s easier said than done, buthaving a treat to look forward to at theend of the evening instead of gobblingup everything in sight will offer a senseof greater fulfillment!

Drink alcohol sparinglyAlcohol decreases your willpower!

Some of us do enjoy the occasionalsplurge here and there, but remember:there are healthier alternatives to yourfavorite party beverages.

A few helpful hints: Add a bit of clubsoda to a half glass of wine, stick to dietor calorie-free mixers for rum andvodka, drink light beer instead of dark,and always enjoy in moderation. Limityourself to one or two.

Extra tip: Remind yourself howmany miles you would have to run orbike to burn off all of those extra calo-ries!

Work outExercise makes you feel good, so

why not make it your goal to have anawesome workout the morning of – orday of – your social event? Setting agoal and sticking to it will grant you asense of accomplishment throughoutthe day.

It’s mind over matter at times, andattending a party in a good frame ofmind will help you stick to your overallgoals and not lose sight of the big pic-ture. What better way to do that thanwith a great lift, run or boot camp class!

If you totally fall off the wagon, pickup right where you left off. When youwake up the following morning, tellyourself: “Today is a new day, I’m goingto start over right where I left off,” anddo just that. No excuses. Just do it!

Bring on modern Jewishholiday music

by Jacob Derwin

As we enter the upcoming weeks,anyone can guarantee the radios willbe flooded with traditional Christmastunes. I’ve just about heard every ver-sion of “Jingle Bells” and “Rudolphthe Red-Nosed Reindeer” possible.

Not that there’s anything wrongwith that; I’m glad the Christian com-munity enjoys its celebration’s music.It’s just...that sometimes I wish I couldturn on the radio and hear someChanukah holiday music!

There is more to Jewish music than“Dreidel, Dreidel” and “Fiddler on theRoof”-style klesmer, after all.

Having attended a Reform Jewishsleepaway camp for many of my pastsummers, I have been surrounded bymodernized Jewish music for a longtime. Many traditional congregantscan’t imagine the Hashkivenu, aprayer for good friends and beinggood companions, sung with anacoustic guitar and a folk melody, butthere are such versions and they arebeautiful.

Just a few weekends ago, I partici-pated in an event known as ShulhouseRock: a gathering of teenage Jewishmusicians, also known as songleadersin the world of Reform Judaism, in asynagogue in Westchester.

While there, we learned the tools ofthe trade from nationally acclaimedJewish songleader and songwriter DanNichols, as well as other incredibleand experienced Jewish songleadersKenny Green and Cantor EllenDreskin.

Each of them embody the idea ofJudaism being more spiritual andimpactful through music. Through

their guidance, 20-something Jewishteenagers left for home with a connec-tion to each other, their culture and tothe music. Prayers such as the Sh’maand Oseh Shalom had new life withthe support of instruments and harmo-nious vocals through the room.

Amazing talents such as JoshNelson, Dan Nichols, Michelle Citrin,Debbie Friedman, Noam Katz andmany others have written incrediblemusic with Jewish themes deservingof some radio play.

In fact, I was listening to DanNichols’ song, “All This Rain” onYouTube following the event, wonder-ing not only what the song was about,but how a song with such an awesomealternative rock feel hadn’t beenplayed on any radio stations yet. Theclean electric guitar riffs over theacoustic chord progression and driv-ing drum beat along with Dan’s unbe-lievable voice blew me away, and ittook me many a listen to figure out itwas about the story of Noah’s Ark.

Why do the Christian tunes we’vebeen hearing for decades fill the air-waves year after year while the newwave of Jewish music is ignored?

I’ve just about memorized “FelizNavidad,” why can’t others give“Shalom Rav” a chance? I think it’sabout time that Jewish kids who areonly exposed to the traditional chantsat Friday night services have a chanceto hear the other side of Jewish musicthrough an easily accessible medium,and not just by chance of whether ornot their Hebrew School musicteacher knows about it.

Now if you don’t mind, I’m going togo headbang to Kol B’Seder’s versionof “Or Zarua.”

Serving those displacedby Sandy

The culinary students at Levittown’sGerald R. Claps Career and TechnicalCenter tightened their aprons and donnedtheir chef’s caps in order to prepare hot,freshly-cooked meals for the residents ofthe American Red Cross Center.

Approximately 130 Nassau Countyresidents were given shelter in theLevittown Memorial Education Center,which houses the career and technicalprogram, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

During the course of the day on Friday,November 9, the student-chefs prepared380 rolls, 20 pounds of dough for cook-ies and pies, 60 pounds of chicken, 40pounds of mixed vegetables and 36pounds of rice, which were added toofferings of pot roast, salad and bakedziti. The students are planning to contin-ue extending this offering while the resi-dents are still living in the shelter.

Culinary instructor Lillian Creedon

explained that this activity was an exer-cise in community service, a keystoneprinciple in the district’s character educa-tion program. “We teach students theimportance of community service, andthis activity allowed the students to makea difference firsthand in the shelter resi-dents’ lives. We don’t know minute tominute when we may find ourselves inthe same situation.”

After they had finished cooking, thestudents warmed the meals to be takendown the hall by American Red Crosspersonnel. Shelter manager TomMahaffie, a Red Cross worker fromIndiana, said he was impressed with thedistrict’s hospitality. “Eating ready-mademeals after a while is tough,” Mr.Mahaffie remarked. “I don’t believe wehave had such an outpouring of help froma community before. The meals havebeen both delicious and heart-warming.”
