by Douglas Finlay
The old Stevens home on BellmoreAvenue just north of Merrick Road – asource of contention between historybuffs who wished to preserve it and theestate’s attorney responsible to providefor its benefactors – was torn down lastweek the day it was sold.
The new owners, OTG RealtyGroup LLP, were then immediatelyissued a cease-and-desist order whenthey began demolition before beinggranted a permit to do so.
“There may have been a misunder-standing as to when they could demolishthe structure,” remarked Stevens estateattorney Dave Weiss of Bellmore.
A fence was constructed around theproperty once the permit for demolitionwas obtained the next day.
Benefactors of the sale, as per JoanStevens’ will – the last surviving mem-ber of the well-known Stevens family –includes two animal rescue groups: theBellmore-based Animal Lifeline, andBobbi and the Strays of Freeport. Othersinclude a 10-year-old grandson of aclose Stevens friend.
While Hempstead Town’s LandmarkPreservation Commission had green-
lighted the structure for landmark statusin March, the Town of HempsteadBoard formally denied the structurelandmark status on December 11, with-out comment.

Ready to buy?“I am numb,” Ms. Keller told this
newspaper in front of the newly demol-ished structure on a frigid day as the sunset through the arms of a crane.
She maintained she had secured$300,000 to offer the benefactors. Mr.Weiss told this newspaper he hadreceived no other offers prior to closingwith the new owner.
Ms. Keller disputes his assertion, say-ing she told Zagarino Realty inDecember she was close to making anoffer but needed to get into the housefor an appraisal. Mr. Weiss turned downthe request, she said the agent said,because he was in contract with the pro-posed buyer.
Mr. Weiss would not disclose the sell-ing price of the house.
Don Kavanagh, attorney represent-ing Ms. Keller, told Bellmore Lifethat, because the town postponed ahearing on landmark status beyond itsthree-month limit, he made four callsin July to both the supervisor’s officeand the town attorney’s office inquir-ing as to when the board hearingwould take place.
He said he sent a letter to Mr. Weisson August 28 accompanied by a letterfrom Kim Keller that opened with: “I am
writing to inform you of my intent topurchase the Stevens home...”
Mr. Kavanagh then explained that Mr.Weiss called him approximately twodays later and told him he had to have a10% down payment and a signed con-tract by the following day.
“We were willing to meet any reason-able price” that was offered by anyoneelse, Mr. Kavanagh said.
However, he added that he wasunable to meet Mr. Weiss’s demand forthat precise day due to other clientcommitments.
Mr. Weiss told Bellmore Life thathe did receive the letter, but it did notprovide a specific, detailed offer for
the house. He said it only referred tothe intent to purchase, and includedno numbers.
He said he requested specifics fromMr. Kavanagh before he would serious-ly consider the offer. “Unfortunately,they didn’t confirm with me in numbersthat they wanted it and sign a contract torestore the house,” he said.
He added that the original party thatwanted the house at the beginning of thehearings with the LandmarkCommission stayed through all the pro-ceedings, never wavering in its offer topurchase the property.
“As the fiduciary of the house, Ialso had to pay the tax bill that wascoming up in January,” Mr. Weiss
continued, and there was no moneyleft in the estate.
He was also getting requests from thebeneficiaries about when the housemight be sold.
Family integral to Bellmore historyIn the landmark commission’s unani-
mous 5-0 decision in February, it saidthat the Stevens family, owners of thehouse, played an integral part in the his-tory of Bellmore and the Town ofHempstead.
It added that “The Stevens house isrepresentative of the pride of thepeople of the community of Bellmoreas an important part of their heritage

FEMA extends stays, registrationFEMA community relations spe-
cialists tell Bellmore Life that theFederal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) has approved a 14-day extension to the TransitionalSheltering Assistance (TSA) programand a 30-day extension for theIndividual Assistance (IA) program.
These actions will allow eligiblesurvivors from superstorm Sandywho cannot return to their homes tocontinue to stay in participating hotelsor motels, while it gives eligible indi-viduals the ability to receive federalassistance for repairing their damagedproperties.
“They don’t have to check out,yet,” remarked Ray Perez, communi-ty relations specialist with FEMA.
Mr. Perez said the prevailing senseis that FEMA still hasn’t reachedeveryone yet, as there are still peoplecoming into the Disaster RecoveryCenters.
The new TSA extension will allowapplicants to remain in participatinghotels until February 9. FEMA willcall applicants eligible for the exten-sion to notify them of the extended14-day period and the checkout dateof February 10.
The Individual Assistance, exten-sion will provide an additional 30 daysfor individuals and businesses to applyto FEMA for assistance for homerepairs and other needs, and toapply to the Small BusinessAdministration for loans.
TSA is short-term program thatplaces families in hotels while theywork toward a longer-term housingplan. Individuals have be checked into the program by January 26, to beeligible.
To be eligible for FEMA programs,survivors must first apply for federalassistance through FEMA by:

Local officials react to new school aid numbersGovernor Andrew Cuomo has released
his 2013-2014 Executive Budget thatincludes figure of new state aid to schoolsfigures, which includes building aid, sub-ject to approval and changes made by thestae Legislature.
The Bellmore School District will expe-rience a 6.9% decrease in state and build-ing aid, from $3,932,331 in 2012-13 to3,880,854 in 2013-14, a $729,566decrease. Dr. Joseph Familaro toldBellmore Life that there is a substantial cutmade to the area of regional cost factors.
Without building aid, Bellmore loses$51,475 in state aid, or a decrease of 1.5%.
He reminded this newspaper that, whilelocal school districts provide 17% of totalfunds to the state, the same districtsreceive only 12% back in aid. Upstateschools and New York City schoolsreceive more in state aid, he said.
The North Bellmore School District willreceive a $68,316 increase in state andbuilding aid, from $11,070,114 in 2012-13to $11,138,430 in 2013-14, a .6% increase.Without building aid, the district realizes a1.8% decrease, or $188,952.
Arnold Goldstein, superintendent ofschools, would not comment in theincrease, saying the numbers were being
worked out.Bellmore-Merrick Central High School
District will realize a 5.8% increase instate and building aid. Its 2012-13 aid of$16,926,746 was increased $976,310 to$17,903,310.
The budget remains statistically thesame without building aid, with a gain of$925,373, or 5.8% increase.
District officials responded to theincrease, saying “The reality of the per-centage Bellmore-Merrick School District
actually receives in state aid may bemuch lower than what New YorkGovernor Cuomo has proposed. This isdue to a number of variables, includingan overstatement of transportation aid inthe 2013-14 school year. The actualamount of state aid will be finalized laterin the spring. The district is grateful forthe financial assistance to support ourstudents’ programs and educational ini-tiatives.”

Hempstead Town Boardapproves Gas Station
Generator LawSupervisor Kate Murray, Senior
Councilman Anthony Santino and mem-bers of the Town Board passed a newGas Station Generator Law in an effortto prevent the long fuel lines duringmajor power outages.
The legislation was promoted by theseemingly endless gas lines endured byresidents in the wake of superstormSandy. While a major part of the problemwas getting fuel shipments into local portsand to area gas stations, several fuelingstations had gasoline in undergroundtanks, but had no way to fill up carsbecause stations lacked the electricityneeded to pump fuel into the vehicles.
The new legislation, proposed bySupervisor Murray and CouncilmanSantino, requires gas stations in the town-ship to have back-up generator powercapable of operating fuel pumps in theevent of a power outage. The officials saidthe legislation will help mitigate the impactof the type of fuel shortage that occurred inthe aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
“Long Island residents were slammedby Hurricane Sandy, and then slammedagain by the fuel shortage and long gaslines that crippled our area after the storm,”said Ms. Murray.
“Requiring gasoline retailers to providegenerator back-up power to operate fuelpumps during serious electrical outagescould mitigate fuel shortages during andafter a crisis like Sandy.”
“Seeing neighbors battle back fromSandy evidenced both moments of inspira-tion and heartbreak,” said Mr. Santino.“Watching neighbors endure seeminglyendless fuel lines in the storm’s aftermath,which resulted in such an enormous levelof frustration, simply added insult toinjury.”
Gasoline stations that pump more than100,000 gallons a month will be requiredto comply with the town’s new generatorlaw. Existing gasoline retailers will haveuntil January 15, 2015, to come into com-pliance with the new legislation.
Newly constructed facilities will imme-diately be required to build gas stations tothe new standard. Similar legislation hasgone into effect in Florida and Louisiana.
“I think this common-sense legislationwill help people to remain mobile aftermajor catastrophes,” concluded Ms.Murray. “This law is one way we can mit-igate the impact of major disasters thatcause widespread power outages,” con-cluded Mr. Santino.

Make teens aware of illegal drugsby Wendy Tepfer
Teen drug use is a serious issue thatfaces our youth. Drugs can be foundeverywhere, and it may seem likeeveryone is using them. Teen drug useshould not be looked at as a rite ofpassage. It is a critical public healthproblem that has ruined too manyfutures and ended too many lives.
To address this important issue, theNational Institute on Drug Abuse(NIDA), part of the National Institutesof Health established National DrugFacts Week in 2010.
This national health observance is atime for parents, schools and commu-nities across the country to help edu-cate teens about drugs and drug abuse.It is a time to empower teens with thetruth about drug use, so that they willmake knowledgeable decisions to pro-tect their health and their future.
In a recent report on drug, alcoholand tobacco use among teens in theU.S., the National Center onAddiction and Substance Abuse(CASA) at Columbia Universityfound that 75% of all high school stu-dents have used alcohol, tobacco oreither legal or illicit drugs. twenty percent of these teens are addicted.
The report further states that ado-lescence is the critical period both forstarting to smoke, drink or use otherdrugs, and for experiencing moreharmful consequences as a result. Theteen brain is primed to take risks,including experimenting with thesesubstances and, because it is stilldeveloping, it is more vulnerable to
their harmful effects. Some teens areat even greater risk because of genet-ics, family history, trauma and mentalhealth or behavioral problems.
Here are some facts and statisticsfrom NIDA and CASA:
• Alcohol kills 6.5 times more youththan all other illicit drugs combined.
• Traffic crashes are the greatestsingle cause of death for all personsage 6-33. About 45% of these fatali-ties are alcohol-related crashes.
• More than 60% of teens said that
drugs were sold, used or kept at theirschool.
• Youth who drink alcohol are 50times more likely to use cocaine thanyoung people who never drink alcohol.
• About 64% of teens (12-17) whohave abused pain relievers say theygot them from friends or relatives,often without their knowledge.
• While rates of illicit drug use aredeclining, the rate of prescriptiondrug use remains high, with 15.4% ofhigh school seniors reporting non-medical use of at least one prescrip-
tion medication within the past year.• In 2008, 1.9 million youth ages
12-17 abused prescription drugs.• Around 28% of teens know a
friend or classmate who has usedecstasy, with 17% knowing more thanone user.
• By the eighth grade, 52% of ado-lescents have consumed alcohol, 41%have smoked cigarettes and 20% haveused marijuana.
• 90 percent of Americans who meetthe medical criteria for addiction
started smoking, drinking or usingother drugs before age 18.
• 1-in-4 Americans who began usingany addictive substance before age 18developed an addiction, compared to1- in-25 Americans who started usingat age 21 or older.
• Forty-six percent of all highschool students use addictive sub-stances; 1-in-3 of them meets themedical criteria for addiction.
Teens have many questions aboutdrugs and drug abuse. Without adependable source for answers, they
turn to the media, Internet, TV, friendsand pop culture—where the answersthey get might be false or misleading.Moreover, when it comes to drugs anddrug abuse, the misinformation theyreceive can have serious and danger-ous consequences.
It is a fact that teenagers whose parentstalk to them regularly about the dangers ofdrugs are up to 50% less likely to usedrugs than those whose parents don’t,yet only a quarter of teens report havingthese conversations.
The Community Parent Centerurges parents to speak early and oftento their children about drug abuse andaddiction. You can help your teen staysafe and make healthy choices by:
• Talking and listening regularly.• Being directly involved in your
child’s everyday world.• Making it clear that you do not
want him or her drinking or usingdrugs.
• Setting limits.• Being a positive role model.

Wendy Tepfer is executive director ofthe Community Parent Center.

Homes Are Selling... It’s Not the MarketServing the Community Since 2001
January 16, 2013
My husband and I were thinking about selling our home, since he justretired. We received a post card in the mail from Margaret that she recentlysold a home around the corner from us. So we decided to call her to get heradvice. She visited us and convinced us to put our house on the marketimmediately, instead of waiting for spring as we had planned. (This was inNovember). This turned out to be excellent advice, as we got several offersimmediately. With her help we had priced the house correctly.
We ended up getting $3,000 over our asking price. We were pleasantly surprised with the price we got. Dealing with Margaret was a pleasure. She was very knowledgeable. She always answered calls and followed uppromptly. She even brought over the contract for us to sign on Thanksgivingday. She was always there for us throughout the whole process.
We could not thank her enough, she is simply the best.Dorothy and Kempton

“I want people back in their homes andthese streets safer than they’ve been.”
So spoke Legislator DavidDenenberg at his eighth disaster reliefforum, where representatives from theTown of Hempstead, FEMA, SBA andother storm experts gathered to addressa full room of residents at the MerrickLibrary on Monday night.
Rebecca Furst, Town of Hempstead’s,certified flood plain manager, explainedthe town’s role and gave advice on pro-cedures to navigate the system follow-ing a flood.
She said that the town is required todo assessments after flooding occurs,but with 250,000 homes in the area,individual inspection of each home isimpossible. “Basically, we know howmuch water went where.”
She explained that by law the townrequires a building permit to move backinto a home that has been damaged. Thepermit is free and she said the town hasstreamlined the process and waived allfees.
Repairs onlyResidents who need to make repairs
only – and not elevate their homesshould contact a private licensed pro-fessional engineer or registered archi-tect to do a damage assessment report,or draft an official letter stating exactlywhat repairs need to be done. It can bea short, bulleted list and not a fulldetailed report.
Residents can then take the letter tothe building department, where staffwill complete the paperwork and imme-
diately provide you with a permit (anapproximately 20-minute process).
Those who have already completedwork with a contractor should still getan official damage assessment report,as the engineer or architect will con-firm and inspect the work alreadycompleted.
Ms. Furst said that a contractor can-not prepare the required damage assess-
ment report because anyone with a “taxID number and a copy of insurance canget a contractor’s license.” If there arestructural problems years later, a resi-dent will not have legal recourse exceptto file a consumer report complaint.
She also said it is best to get a freepermit now than wait until your bankrequires one when you may later decideto sell your home, as the fees will thenbe doubled. If a structure that never hada permit – such as a garage – was dam-aged, the town will help you file tolegalize the structure. The free repairpermit cannot be issued for a structurethat is not in compliance with the law.
The building department can also fillout paperwork and directly fax the nec-essary information to SBA to assist withthe loan application process.
Those with minor issues, such as aninch of water in the boiler room, and areunsure if an architect or engineer isneeded, should visit the plan examinerbetween 8 a.m.-6 p.m. with photographsand all documentation to confirm if arepair permit is necessary.
Elevating/substantial damageFor those whose homes are declared
“substantially damaged” by the town,meaning the damage is in excess of50% of the building’s fair market value,Ms. Furst said that elevation of thehome will be required.
She said, for example, “If you have aone-story structure and you had fourfeet of water, most likely that will be at50% damage. If you have a two-storystructure, no structural damage but youhad four feet of water, most likely youare not at 50% damage.”
In order to qualify for an IncreaseCost of Compliance, or ICC, to elevateyou must:
• Get a full engineer’s report (not justletter) if the town was unable to direct-ly inspect your home. If you qualify, thetown will provide an ICC letter, whichyou submit to your insurance company.
The insurance company will thenrequire a cost estimate for repairs tobring your home back to predamagedcondition.
• Take the cost estimate to the build-ing department and it will write to theinsurance company to complete theprocess.
County Legislator Denenberg saidthat disaster relief and ICC are “notone in the same.” While FEMA canprovide up to $31,900, ICC is separateand can grant $30,000 towards the ele-vation of a home.
FEMA reportsJohn Mills, representing FEMA, said,
“Three months after Sandy made land-fall in Nassau County, FEMA’sapproved a little more than $282 millionin individual assistance. More than$100 million has gone towards tempo-rary housing assistance in NassauCounty alone.”
Mr. Mills said that FEMA grants can-not “make you whole,” and stronglysuggested residents fill out a SmallBusiness Adminstration application. “Ifyou get the loan, you don’t have to takeit” but you are then automaticallyreferred back to FEMA for the possibil-ity of more money.
The deadline for FEMA registrationand SBA loans has been extended twice,and now stands at February 27. “If youare not happy with the amount ofmoney you receive from FEMA, youcan appeal it,” said Mr. Mills, whichcan be done after this deadline.
He said, “If you believe that yourflood insurance is not paying what your

Sandy workshop reviews how to make homes saferpolicy entitles you to receive…you needto complain to as many people as possi-ble.” He suggested contacting U.S.Senator Charles Schumer’s and GovernorAndrew Cuomo’s offices. Complaintsabout flood insurance can also be made toFEMA at 1-800-427-4661.
Robert Galassi, an SBA representa-tive who was available for private dis-cussion to individuals, called FEMA a“quick fix.” SBA loans can be granted
14-17 days following an applicationbeing submitted. Additional loanmoney can be given after proof is giventhat the money was spent “the rightway” and not on unrelated expensessuch a vacation.
Scott Mager, a lawyer experiencedwith storm claims, encouraged resi-dents to be persistent with insurancecompanies and put requests and allcomplaints in written form. Being tena-cious by following up and presenting a
detailed estimate prepared by an experi-enced engineer who knows how to pres-ent the information to an insurance com-pany, and asking to speak to a managerinstead of your appointed agent, weresome of his suggestions.
Home reassessmentRegarding home assessment, Legislator
Denenberg said even if your value for2013-14 was set in January 2012, an asses-sor can re-evaluate a home following a
natural disaster such as superstorm Sandy.The county has implemented a programallowing requests for reassessments upuntil April 1. A resident can challengeassessments for 2014-15 until May 1.
For information on storm recoveryissues, Legislator Denenberg willoffer five more forums during Marchand April, and encouraged residentswanting more help to attend. Call hisoffice at 571-6219 to learn when theforums will be.

Stevens home raised; supporters had hoped to save it
preserved through a historical landmark,signifying the major contributions of theStevens family in the development of thehistory of Bellmore and the Town ofHempstead.”
Charles Stevens, who built the housein the the 1920s, developed a ferry serv-ice between Bellmore and High HillBeach (now part of Jones Beach) in theearly 1900s, which is now the easternflank of Zach’s Bay. It was recorded thathe met his wife Pauline Anne at theBreakers Hotel there.
He passed the house over to his sonStan – and wife Lucy, both Joan’s par-ents – who developed his own tugboatservice, ferrying supplies around thebays. Those supplies helped build theRobert Moses Causeway and span, andWantagh Parkway, among other sites inthe bays.
Stan and Lucy worshiped at theQuaker Meeting House in Wantagh.
Charles Stevens built another house inBellmore, which is on Eastern Avenue,and lived there after giving the house onBellmore Avenue to his son Stan, saidMs. Keller.
ReactionsBellmore Life’s Facebook page lit up
with remarks mostly critical or surprisedat the house’s destruction. RussellWarren said “Stanley Stevens was myfriend. He was a great man from anothertime. He must be turning over in hisgrave. Rest in peace, Stanley...”
Jim Ewer commented that “Italy hasstuff standing for hundreds of years,hell, thousands. America, if it’s 60-plusyears old, rips it down. Sad.”
Remarked Betty Brush Pittari: “Somany old beautiful houses fromBellmore’s past gone. It’s justawful...again.”
Ken Thalheimer said “A summonsis a joke compared to the loss of thebuilding.”
But Bill Sette, an octogenarian andlifelong Bellmore resident who helpedrun Sette Plumbing in Bellmore for over50 years, said that all the significant his-torical houses in Bellmore were torndown long ago. “That house [Stevens]has as much historical significance asmy nose,” he said.
County Legislator Dave Denenbergsaid he was sorry to see the house torndown, saying that the landmark commis-sion and others had worked hard to forgea compromise that could have beenaccepted by the estate.
He noted that the beneficiaries wouldhave received their share, regardless ofwho purchased the property.
OTG Group has not formally request-ed an application to build on the proper-ty, remarked a town spokeswoman. Anyapplication could take months and becontingent upon building variancesrequested, and other building and firecode factors.
Mr. Weiss told this newspaper thattwo houses, side-by-side, could be builton the property, as it is divided into twoequal standard-size Bellmore home lots.
