NICE to increase N4 bus service in Freeport by Laura Schofer

The Nassau Inter-County Express,(NICE) will be making changes to busservice on the N4, which begins atFreeport’s train station and then toJamaica along Merrick Road.

Beginning April 8 there will be serv-ice on the N4 line eastbound as well fromJamaica to Freeport. However, peak serv-ice on the N4 will operate every 10 min-utes instead of every 7.5 minutes in bothdirections. All trips will operate fromJamaica to Freeport eastbound andFreeport to Jamaica westbound.

A press release issued by NICE saidthat some service changes were neces-sary because “our contract with thecounty requires that bus service levels

be adjusted to the available funds byearly April,” and the changes were“designed to impact the fewest possiblepassengers.” Cuts were made to 30routes for a savings of $7.5 million.

Meanwhile, eight routes will haveadditional services.There will be serv-ice on two new Express routes toJamaica and Flushing. NICE will alsorestore service to the Mercy MedicalCenter.

NICE is the new bus system that tookover on January 1 after the countydecided to replace the bus service. Theformer provider, the MetropolitanTransportation Authority, operated theLong Island Bus system since 1973.

Last spring the MTA announced thatit planned to cut approximately 56% ofthe bus service unless it received an

additional $26 million in funding fromNassau County. The Nassau Countymass transit system transports 31 mil-lion bus passengers and 280,000 para-transit passengers each year.

After much wrangling, the countydecided to find another bus provider. InDecember, the county legislature votedto give Veolia Transportation a five-yearcontract to run the new bus system, nowcalled NICE.

The agreement with NICE is a “pub-lic-private partnership” between thecounty and Veolia Transportation, whichalso runs transportation systems in LasVegas, Phoenix and New Orleans. Thecontract with the county preserved theAble-Ride service area and restored theMTA’s planned route cuts. Faresremained the same and cannot be raised

unless approved by 100% of the NassauCounty Resident Transit Committee.“Our service designers focused on theroutes that are least used by customersand are thus the most expensive to oper-ate. Running virtually empty buses isvery expensive and requires large subsi-dies from the county,” reads the NICEwebsite.

“These proposed adjustments representour best judgement for achieving the sav-ings and balanced budget that are requiredof us. Please note that there have beennumerous improvements since NICE busbegan operating on January 1, includingmore reliable and more on time serviceand cleaner buses and facilities andimproved customer service. While the sys-tem isn’t perfect, we will continue to addimprovements with each passing month.”

Kudos to KateThe Levy Preserve atop the former Merrick landfill keeps

growing in popularity, according to the latest report fromTown of Hempstead Deputy Commissioner MikeMcConnell. And Hempstead Town Supervisor KateMurray, one of the first supporters of Merrick landscaperJay Pitti’s vision for the preserve, deserves a lot of credit forthis one.

First, the town saved millions of dollars by creating thepreserve instead of capping the former landfill in the tradi-tional way. Teams from as far as China have come to learnfrom us. And second, inspired suggestions from residents,park rangers and town staff have been heard and adopted.The result? Now an average of over 4,000 visit each month.

They hike to the top using the fitness stations along theway, fish at the pier or go kayaking in the Meadow Brook.It’s also fun to watch the Nigerian goats at work cutting thegrass and the guinea fowl clearing any ticks. Park rangersserve as nature guides on jitney tours.

Educational use of the preserve has been made by NassauCommunity College, St. John’s University and local highschool and elementary science classes, the AHRC, RosemaryKennedy School, Plus Group Homes, Bristal and Atria sen-iors, garden clubs, religious groups and Scouts.

Eagle Scout projects this past year included construction ofsplit-rail and other enclosures, a new information kiosk, a stor-age box for kayaking equipment, two benches for wetlandsviewing and refurbishing of the wetlands boardwalk rails.

The Levy Preserve is truly a Town of Hempstead jewel!

Hurray for TackapaushaNassau County’s museum at the Tackapausha Preserve

in Seaford was in danger of being closed due to budget con-straints. But like knights in shining armor, nature lovers,including South Shore Audubon, came to the aid of thebeloved little museum that is part of the childhood memo-ries of so many of us. A new friends’ group will now workwith the county to save it.

As South Shore Audubon leader Jim Brown’s President’sMessage in a recent issue of the South Shore Skimmer point-ed out, “During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the nation-al government created jobs that helped the environment. TheCivilian Conservation Corps was created to put people to workand create access to the natural environment for our people.”Hopefully, the friends and county working together can getfederal funds to help save Tackapausha for future generations.

As the Sengalese poet Baba Dioum wrote, “In the end, weconserve only what we love. We will love only what weunderstand. We will understand only what we are taught.”

“At Freeport they offer workshopsin writing and art, they have an artgallery, an annual juried photographyshow, an outdoor performing artsseries in the summer at the FreeportNautical Mile, but service to artistsseems to be their strong suit:Networking for artists, grants and

opportunities, artists for hire, a musi-cal instruments marketplace and amonthly newsletter about currentarts events and opportunities.

Its “High 5” Program for studentsbetween the ages of 13 and 19. Itmakes tickets available to events atthe major venues on the Island foronly $5 dollars. It also offers work-shops in critiquing the performancesor exhibits the students have seen atthe Tilles Center, the Nassau CountyMuseum of Art, The Merrick TheatreCenter for the Performing Arts andothers.

Fate of police precincts is on hold

A vote by the Nassau CountyLegislature to determine if four policeprecincts will close did not take place onFebruary 27 as was scheduled. The votehas been tentatively rescheduled forMonday, March 5.

County Executive Ed Mangano stat-ed, “Law enforcement unions and Inegotiated throughout the weekend.Discussions were progressive.Accordingly, the vote will be recessedfor one week.”

The PBA had intended to hold a rallyon Monday morning to protest the coun-ty’s plan to close four police precinctsincluding the First, the Third, the Fifthand the Eighth Precinct by the fall. PBArepresentative Officer Wayne Hartmancalled the plan “a concern for local resi-dents. Many of these communitieseffected are facing a new rise in crime,”

he said in a press statement. The county plan states that the current

precincts slated for closure will mergewith their bordering command. The plan,according to County ExecutiveMangano, will eliminate 156 administra-tive positions and keep 177 police cars onthe street. The four closed precinctswould become community policing cen-ters.

Opponents say the plan’s cost sav-ings are inflated and that responsetime for emergency calls mayincrease. County Legislator DavidDenenberg, Democrat of Merrick, saida potential loophole in the police con-tract could possibly reduce the numberof patrols on the street. “If you elimi-nate four precincts you could by con-tract reduce the number of police onthe street,” he said.

Protection

by Laura Schofer

Baldwin pharmacist LutfulChowdhury, owner and operator of AimPharmacy on Grand Avenue in Baldwin,was charged with conspiracy to distrib-ute oxycodone and fentanyl, in federalcourt on Monday, February 27, said apress release issued by the U.S. DrugEnforcement Administration (DEA).

The indictment was announced byWilbert L. Plummer, acting specialagent-in-charge of the New York FieldDivision of the DEA and Loretta E.Lynch, U.S. attorney for the EasternDistrict of New York.

According to papers filed by the gov-ernment on Monday, between May 2006and September 2011, Mr. Chowdhuryallegedly dispensed oxycodone and fen-tanyl to individuals who produced stolenor fraudulent prescriptions. The cus-tomers used the drugs themselves or re-sold them to others, said the DEA.

As part of the conspiracy and to avoiddetection by the DEA, which monitorsthe dispensing of prescription controlledsubstances, Mr. Chowdhury allegedly

advised the customers not to repeatedlyuse the same names on the fraudulentprescriptions, the DEA said.

Mr. Chowdhury was originally arrest-ed by DEA agents on July 2 and chargedwith 14 counts of Criminal Possessionof a Forged Instrument and one count ofCriminal Diversion of PrescriptionMedication and Prescriptions.

“We all depend on pharmacists andhealth care professionals to act ethically,responsibly and safely. Pharmacists inparticular handle potentially dangerousdrugs every day and must ensure they arenot dispensed without a valid prescrip-tion,” said U. S. Attorney Lynch in a newsrelease. “As alleged here, the defendantput personal greed over the health andwelfare of the public and joined in ascheme to sell highly addictive narcoticswithout valid prescriptions,” she added.

According to the National Institutes ofHealth (NIH), oxycodone and fentanylare both synthetic opiates intended to beprescribed to patients suffering fromsevere or chronic pain. The NIH reportsthat fentanyl is a more powerful narcot-ic than morphine and is typically pre-

scribed to patients to manage post-surgi-cal pain. Although approved for use inmedical treatment, the drugs must bedispensed by medical professionals onlyfor legitimate purposes. Because of theirhigh potential for abuse, oxycodone andfentanyl are designated Schedule II con-

trolled substances under federal law –the same regulatory designation ascocaine, said the DEA.

The charge in the indictment is mere-ly an allegation and the defendant is pre-sumed innocent unless and until provenguilty.
