Sea Cliff Approves Glen Cove Youth Bureau presents… 2013-2014 Budget YOUTH, NEWS & VIEWS Bruce Kennedy, Mayor of the Incorporated Village of Sea Cliff, called a Public Glen Cove Youth Bureau Food Drive a Huge Success Hearing to order at 8PM last night to propose the Village budget for the upcom- ing year. Food Collected for Youth Bureau’s Food Pantry By: Cindy Rogers by the pantry, the students gave the lists Despite spiraling costs and decreasing revenues, the proposed Sea Cliff budget Photo by: Cindy Rogers to Thursday morning shoppers as they was very lean.

The total budget for last year was $5,320,892 and the proposed budget for the upcoming year is $5,388,645.

In a separate public hearing the Mayor and Board proposed to exercise the Vil- lage’s right to override the 2% tax levy legislation by local law. A member of the audience questioned why the Board would consider adopting the law when they intend to keep the tax levy under the 2% cap. In response, Trustee Tom Powell explained that one of the criteria reviewed by bond rating companies is a municipality’s budgetary flexibility. “In fact”, he stated, “since we overrode the law last year, our bond rating was increased to AA+”. Both Trustee Vogt and Trustee Lieberman agreed that passing the local law would be prudent and in the best interest of the residents.

After both hearings, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to pass a local law to override the tax levy limit and also approved the proposed 2013-2014 budget. Mayor Kennedy stated, “We have been whittling away at this budget for months now and are very pleased with the end result. The sole aim of this process has been to maintain the quality, character and services of this com- munity while reining in every cost we have control over.” 16th Annual Culinary Delights

Fourth-graders at Connolly Elemen- tary School in Glen Cove took a trip back to Colonial times with several hands-on activities that highlighted life during the era. Representatives from the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiqui- ties visited the school and educated the students on rope and lantern making, as well as quilting. Classes rotated through all of the events, enabling fourth-graders to get a better understanding of the Colo- nial period through applied learning. All of the activities supported the students’ regular classroom social studies cur- riculum, currently focused on Colonial times. “It gives the children hands-on ex- perience in learning about the past,” said Joan McGee, Director of Education for SPLIA, noting that the students were also able to connect the projects with Colonial life, gaining clearer insight on how each item contributed to life during the time period.

Learning about Colonial times, fourth-graders at Connolly Elementary School make quilt patches to add to a bigger quilt that has been kept from prior years during Colonial Day. Facilitated by Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, other activities included rope and lantern making.
