Elementary students across the North Shore School District are learning Mandarin. As part of North Shore’s World Language Program initiated in 2012-13, students begin in kindergarten under the direction of their teachers Xian Xian Cascella and Wei Huang. Students in grades K-2 have the opportunity to take Mandarin exclusively, two times out of a six day cycle. In third grade, they get a choice of either Mandarin or Spanish which they will continue with until the sixth grade. If you are fortunate to sit in on a Mandarin class at any of our elementary schools, you will be amazed at how much our children are learning! Not only are they able to understand their teacher speaking mainly in Mandarin, but they are learning how to write the characters and speak the language using the proper intonations and sounds. Through various teaching techniques utilizing songs, visual aids (e.g., story books, colorful balloons, pictures, etc.,), and technology including the SmartBoard, iPods, or iPads, our youngest students are fully engaged and learning Mandarin quicker than they would have possibly been able Pictured are Sea Cliff School students learning Mandarin under the direction of their teacher Xian Xian Cascella. continued on page 2 Article and photos by Shelly Newman Sewer Line Update from Mayor Bruce Kennedy The installation of the Sea Cliff our business district, the Village will be minor business disruptions as my fellow complete.

An Open Letter to the North Shore School Community

This is a question that you won’t find on a standardized test: Q - What is the difference between a North Shore student that cheats on a test and a candidate for the North Shore School Board that cheats to win an election? A – The student gets punished and the candidate continues to serve on the school board and gets the taxpayer to pay lawyers to keep them on the school board. Herman Berliner, President of the North Shore School Board announced that he is running for re- election in a Letter to the Editor in last week’s Gold Coast Gazette. Herman touts his Leadership and Integrity as attributes that warrant his re-election. Last year, Joanna Commander ran on a platform of Integrity as well; and then proceeded to win election using illegitimate means. Ms. Commander used a robo-call system that is a taxpayer funded resource intended to promote voter turn-out. Instead it was illegitimately and dishonorably used to support her candidacy. She has publicly stated that she used the robo-call system to this effect. A formal complaint was lodged with the NYS Commissioner of Education asking that a new election take place. As President of the School Board, Herman has spent our tax dollars to hire attorneys to overturn this complaint and keep Joanna Commander on the Board. Apparently Herman and Joanna’s definition of Integrity does not comport with the concept of “Integrity of our Elections”. We raised this issue in an advertisement several months ago in the Gold Coast Gazette. As President of the School Board, Herman responded to our ad with a letter that was factually inaccurate and misleading. The School Board’s law firm had to publish a letter correcting the “inaccuracies promulgated by the school board”. Apparently Herman’s definition of Leadership and Integrity means that one can issue factually inaccurate letters to the community about the “Integrity of our Elections”. A person of Leadership and Integrity would hold our elections sacrosanct; and would call for anyone that violated the “Integrity of the Ballot” to resign. Instead, as President of the School Board, Herman is spending our tax dollars defending this dishonorable behavior. What is the lesson that our children are learning from this behavior? Cheat on a test – you will be punished. Run for the school board and cheat in an election……………..welcome aboard! We deserve better as a community. Please vote for the budget. Please withhold your vote for Herman Berliner and anyone else on the school board that doesn’t support the Integrity of our Elections. Every day that Joanna Commander remains on the school board is a daily reminder of the lack of leadership and integrity that this community so desperately deserves.

PTA members were encouraged to praise their children more than they react to bad moments. Parents were challenged to keep track of how many times a day they either praise or reprimand a child throughout the day. Parental inﬂuence continues to play a major role in a child’s development and decision making skills.

North Shore Sheltering Program 2nd Annual Open House

By Tab Hauser during the winter months. The NSSP consisting of members of the religious is administered by a Board of Directors community and other involved citizens. The North Shore Sheltering Program (NSSP) held their second annual open house at the First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove. The NSSP provides temporary overnight shelter during the coldest winter months to those who are homeless. It then seeks to direct people in need of housing, medical care and/or treatment to the proper agencies. This program began in response to the death of two men who, left out in the elements during winter of 1996, died of exposure. Several concerned citizens joined forces with members of the clergy and started the North Shore Sheltering Program. Housed in the First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove, the Shelter is staffed by over 100 committed volunteers and several paid professional counselors. The NSSP must rely on individuals, civic groups, religious congregations, and community organizations to fund their annual budget. Each year the Shelter cultivates many individual NSSP Board member Steve Fortuna, NSSP Board member Katie Schneider, Senior Counselor Jon Orgel, NSSP Board member Sandy donors to obtain the supplies and funds Themelis, NSSP Board President Cantor Gustavo Gitlin, Mayor Reggie Spinello, NSSP Board member Victoria Crosby, NSSP Board member needed in order to serve the homeless John DiMascio, NSSP Board member Vasilianna Fakiris, NSSP Board Member Karen Kelly, NSSP Board member Colleen Fortuna, NSSP men in the Glen Cove community Board member Rev.
