A gift to the children of Seaford

by Laura Schofer

Cold dark water invaded many homesalong the South Shore of Long Island,that terrible night last October whensuperstorm Sandy hit landfall on LongIsland.

While most of those who live north ofSunrise Highway have moved on, manyresidents in the more southerly parts oftown, are still struggling, not just withthe business of rebuilding their homesbut with the psychological impacts of astorm that wreaked havoc with their viewof the world as a comfortable and safeplace. The dream of living on the waterhad suddenly turned into a nightmare.

At the Seaford Library last week, res-idents gathered to listen to Dr. RobertMotta, a professor of Psychology andDirector of the Doctoral Program inSchool-Community Psychology atHofstra University, speak about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), clas-

sified as an anxiety disorder that com-monly manifests itself after experienc-ing life threatening events, such assuperstorm Sandy.

“These life altering events may causea person to react with fear and anxiety,”explained Dr. Motta. “Many people canput the experience behind them but oth-ers get stuck and the images of thisevent play over and over again.” Theseimages may also show up in nightmares,added Dr Motta.

People with PTSD may also sufferfrom anxiety and depression. “Oftenthey can’t concentrate and are with-drawn; others are jumpy and irritable orangry,” said Dr. Motta. “It becomes per-vasive and effects every part of yourlife. And,” Dr. Motta warned, “if youdon’t address it, the symptoms may per-sist for years.”

Additionally, if the symptoms are leftuntreated, other family members mayend up suffering from secondary trauma.“It’s like getting the flu, you catch it

from someone close to you. Children, inparticular, may suffer from secondarytrauma,” said Dr. Motta. “We have foundthat children are less troubled by Sandy– the sand, the cold the water. In fact thechildren are not bothered by that. [Whatbothers them] is the reaction of their par-ents, their source of security.”

The John Wayne ideal of being strongand silent in the face of danger maywork in Hollywood, but for real folkpushing aside one’s feelings isunhealthy. “Abuse of drugs and alcoholis five times higher than the norm [forthose suffering from PTSD],” said Dr.Motta. “People will use these things[drugs and alcohol] to dull their fears;the suicide rate is also very high.”

Any treatment for PTSD?“You must confront the experience,”

said Dr. Motta. “Talk to people. andshare your experience. When you dothis, it reduces and takes the sting out ofthe memories.”

We need your help to ensure that theinlet is not artificially closed!Superstorm Sandy caused three breach-es to open on Fire Island. Two inletswere immediately closed. A thirdbreach, known as “New Inlet,” locatedin the wilderness area of Fire Island, isstill open.

The Great South Bay is in need offlushing, and preliminary data indicatesthat the increased water flow from NewInlet is helping to improve water quali-ty. Scientific studies conducted by StonyBrook University also show that theinlet is not causing an increased risk offlooding to the mainland.

Stony Brook’s science shows that New

Inlet is having no impact on tidal ampli-tude on the mainland but does appear tobe increasing the oceanic water exchangein the eastern bay as evidenced by highersalinity since the storm. While monitor-ing for potential flooding should contin-ue, scientific analysis indicates thatflooding will not occur.

Water quality in the Great South Bayhas significantly degraded due to super-storm Sandy, which has caused therelease of raw and partially treatedsewage, fuel oil, gasoline, householdhazardous waste chemicals, and a pot-pourri of other pollutants into thealready struggling South Shore waters.We must keep New Inlet open for a

healthy bay!

How you can helpCall DEC Commissioner Joe Martens

at (518) 402-8545 or email him and tellhim:

• Keep New Inlet in Fire Island open!• The inlet is helping to flush pollution

without posing a risk to residents.• We deserve a healthy bay!

Thank you for taking action. Togetherwe are making a difference!

Our next meeting is Tuesday,February 5, 7:30 p.m. at the FreeportRecreation Center...Join us!

– from Operation SPLASH

Editor’s note: Meanwhile, prelimi-nary data from Stony Brook UniversitySchool of Marine and AtmoshpericSciences indicates that just east ofWantagh and Seaford, the Western Baysare suffering from nitrogen overload,due in part, to its inability to “flush”effulent coming from the Bay ParkSewage Treatment Plant. A coalition ofgroups, including SPLASH, is workingwith the county, state and federal repre-sentatives to get funding for an outflowpipe from the plant to the ocean, muchlike the one found at Cedar Creek WaterPollution Control Plant.

PTSD after Sandy

One woman said she not only has todeal with the effects of the storm, but thecallousness of people who have not expe-rienced the storm in the same way.

“I hear people who live north ofSunrise Highway say, ‘What’s the bigdeal?’ ” said one woman.

“I don’t want to talk to anyone aboutthis, if they didn’t live through this,” saidanother woman.

Dr. Motta nodded. “It’s important totalk with people who understand and toshare your experiences. You have a placeto speak about how unfair it has allbeen.”

“The first two weeks you are in sur-vival mode and then all the other non-sense starts. Every day I am retrauma-tized. I’m fighting with insurance,” saidanother resident who is trying to rebuildher home and her life.

“The governor [Andrew Cuomo] saidhe would stand for no nonsense from theinsurance companies but it has been veryhard,” said one woman.

“I paid my flood insurance. I played bythe rules and I need that money, now,”said a third woman.

“We hear this a lot,” said Rob.“After a trauma your system of beliefs

has been shaken,” said Dr. Motta. “Theworld seems to be an unfair place and noone is playing fair,” he sympathized.

“Reach out to your neighbors. Humanbeings are programmed to help eachother. This happened to the community;the community must heal together.”

Editor’s note: Residents informally spokeabout forming their own group to speak abouttheir experiences, perhaps with the guidance ofthe trauma clinic at Hofstra. Additionally, theSeaford Public Library will hold another pro-gram on PTSD, most likely in March. Call thelibrary for more information at 221-1334.

WHS business law students hear speaker

Just last month, Wantagh HighSchool’s Business Law students had thehonor of listening to guest speaker,Christie Medina, Esq.

As part of a speaker series that iscoordinated through the Nassau CountyBar Association’s “Lawyer-in-the-Classroom” Program, Ms. Medina, whoworks with the law firm of Frazer &Feldman, LLP of Garden City, visitedthe high school to discuss the topic of“Students’ Rights and Responsibilities”inside and outside of the classroom.

Students were interested in this sub-ject because it explained to them many

of the legal issues they face in today’sschool setting. Ms. Medina explainedtheir constitutional rights and theproper protocol for discipline withinthe classroom.

She told stories of the use of theconstitutional limits relating to “free-dom of speech” and “freedom of thepress.” Business Law teacher, KateAymong remarked, “It is always apleasure for me when an attorney willtake the time to visit a classroom andengage the students with real-life situ-ations affecting them today.”

EAST BROADWAY STUDENTS made snowflakes for the students in Newtown,Connecticut.

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

18 FEMA disaster registration deadline extended

The Federal Emergency ManagementAgency, at the request of the State of NewYork, has approved a 30-day extension forsurvivors to register for federal disasterassistance.

The new registration deadline forHurricane Sandy survivors in New York isFebruary 27. FEMA also approved a 14-day extension to the TransitionalSheltering Assistance (TSA) program. Thenew checkout date for applicants staying inhotels under this program is Sunday,February 10.

Registration deadlineThe February 27 registration deadline

allows survivors in the 13 New York coun-ties designated for federal disaster assis-tance an additional 30 days to register withFEMA and complete and return low-inter-est SBA disaster loan applications, animportant step in the FEMA grant process.

Designated counties include: Bronx,Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange,Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland,Suffolk, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.

People in these counties who sustainedlosses due to Hurricane Sandy should reg-ister with FEMA even if they have insur-ance. Applying by the deadline may helpsurvivors avoid a funding shortfall if theylater find that they are underinsured orhave additional damages.

Survivors who register may be eligiblefor federal grants to help cover various dis-aster-related expenses including rent,essential home repairs, personal propertylosses and other serious disaster-relatedneeds not covered by insurance.

By returning the SBA disaster loanapplication, homeowners may be eligible

for up to $200,000 to repair or replace theirstorm-damaged primary residence.Homeowners and renters may be eligiblefor up to $40,000 for replacement of per-sonal property. Businesses and private non-profits may be eligible to borrow up to $2million to repair or replace storm-damagedproperty.

Transitional Sheltering AssistanceProgram deadline

The temporary Transitional ShelteringAssistance program allows eligibleHurricane Sandy survivors whose houseshave been severely damaged or destroyedto stay in a hotel or motel for a limited timeand have the cost of the room and taxespaid directly to the hotel by FEMA.

The extension was approved to helpthose applicants still eligible for the pro-gram to remain in hotels as FEMA and itsstate and local partners work to identifylonger-term housing solutions. All TSAapplicants currently staying in hotels willbe evaluated for continued eligibility.

FEMA continues to work in coordina-tion with state, local and voluntary agencypartners to assist applicants through out-reach and comprehensive casework toidentify and transition them to more suit-able temporary or long-term housing.

Meals, telephone calls and other inci-dental charges are not covered, and appli-cants are responsible for any lodging costsabove the authorized allowance. The pro-gram does not reimburse previouslyincurred hotel expenses.

How to registerIndividuals also can register with FEMA

online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or

via smartphone or tablet by going tofema.gov or by downloading the FEMAapp.

Survivors also can call 800-621-3362(TTY 800-462-7585). People who use 7-1-1 Relay or Video Relay Services (VRS)should call 800-621-3362. The toll-freetelephone numbers operate 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.EST, seven days a week until further notice.

Survivors who have questions regardingthe registration process, the status of theirapplication and available disaster assistanceprograms are encouraged to visit a DisasterRecovery Center or contact FEMA.

To find the nearest Disaster RecoveryCenter, the following options are available:Text DRC and a Zip Code to 43362(4FEMA), and a text message will be sentback with the address. Also, the DisasterRecovery Center locator is available onlineat www.FEMA.gov/disaster-recovery-cen-

Wantagh Realtor createsMS research fund

Wantagh Realtor Tony Smith hasannounced the creation of the CherylManne Fund for MS Research.Established to encourage greaterresearch and development of a cure formultiple sclerosis, the fund will producean annual stipend awarded to a selectedpre-med student currently enrolled inthe Hofstra University and HofstraNorth Shore -LIJ School of Medicine.

Supported by this fund, the studentwill participate in a neurology-basedstudy/research program, specificallydesigned to finding a cure for thisdebilitating disease. The research pro-gram will be scheduled during the sum-mer between the student’s first and sec-ond semester, at a facility selected andapproved by the dean of the School ofMedicine.

Mr. Smith, who is owner/broker ofWantagh’s S.A.S. Real Estate, com-mented on the mission of the CherylManne Fund: “My vision is that a doc-tor, studying in the field of neurology onbehalf of those who endure the sufferingand hardships brought about byMultiple Sclerosis, will one day discov-er a breakthrough and cure.”

The fund was established in memoryof Cheryl Manne, a longtime S.A.Sagent who passed away from MS near-ly four years ago. “Cheryl neverallowed the disease to define her…”said Tony, “…but rather, she inspiredothers with dignity, valor, humor, and adesire to live life fully and courageous-ly.”

For further information contact TonySmith at 781-5050.

CHERYL MANNE: Her coura-geous fight with MS has inspiredthe creation of a local fund toresearch a cure.
