Progress
Despite the weather we are making substantial progress towards opening three buildings on Tuesday morning. Most of the work currently underway is inside. since we already do not have power, the power outages impacted others because of the nor'easter had no impact on the cleanup effort. No additional damage was sustained to any of the buildings. 

The portable generators and boilers noted in yesterday's update are in the pipeline, and arrival is anticipated shortly. It is also possible that LIPA will be restoring electric service to the high school prior to Tuesday.

We have restored our fibers connections to East School, Lindell School, and Transportation. That should provide us with telephone, internet and network service at Lindell. 

Web Buddies
Our biggest issues at the moment are logistical. Communication inside Long Beach is difficult. We are not able to establish our land lines or man them yet. Our best vehicle is this web site. However, many people inside Long Beach do not have access to the web. Therefore, I am asking you to either get or be a WEB BUDDY. If you are in Long Beach, find someone who can check the web in the evening and send you a text of pertinent information. If you are outside of Long Beach, please become a web buddy for someone still here. 

Transportation
For next week we will transporting to Long Beach from Nassau County at select locations. As we better identify where students are, we will be establishing more convenient routes. We are using the information parents supplied us to organize our routing. Expect a posting Monday with details. We will try to have it earlier if we are able. Please note that none of our buses sustained damage. We will be utilizing our entire fleet, with most of the buses picking up outside of Long Beach

We will be setting up shuttles from the entrances to Long Beach. We have been asked by officials to limit traffic into the area and we are not equipped to handle pickups and drop offs at schools. We will provide adults on our buses. These details will be finalized and posted on the web along with the routes.

We will be running buses inside Long Beach. We will also be transporting to and from private and parochial schools. Times and stops are likely to be different than prior to Hurricane Sandy, please check back Monday evening for the information. We will try to have it earlier if we are able.

Donations and Contributions
We will be establishing a number of funds for donations and contributions. We DO NOT NEED more clothing of student school supplies at this time. We will be establishing an email address to contact us regarding donations and for queries about how to help our school and our students.

Rather have a boardwalk over collecting fines that will just be stolen.
john peri Jr May 23, 2013 at 04:48 pm
TRIVIA: Joseph Carlino, former Speaker of the NY State Assembly, gave a speech on the 5thRead More Amendment at my high school graduation. His father was the Republican leader in Long Beach.
Patrick Smith May 23, 2013 at 04:38 pm
She will be questioned by kid gloved committee , and a back room deal will be made .Repukes get whatRead More they want and obama will fire her with a golden parachute ,end of story.This is America
Tideline May 23, 2013 at 12:04 pm
She also is still collecting a big paycheck for a job that she took the 5th on and would not answerRead More any questions. She should be immediately suspended without pay. She won't she is protected by the Obama umbrella. I predict she will be recalled, since she made a statement and that negated her 5th protections. When she refuses again next time, she should be found in contempt of Congress.
Leonard Bauman May 23, 2013 at 09:27 pm
The victims are the poor defenseless cats and dogs in that shelter that Rescue Ink was using asRead More donation pawns, giving the cats and dogs scrimps while spending the large spoils on their own selfish selves. Why can't the North Shore Animal League take over the shelter and make it a second adoption site to complement their location in Port Washington?
andy napolitano May 23, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Well lets see now. Long Beach has always been known as such a corrupt city why shouldn't themRead More allowing these guys to illegally park their van anywhere they want come as such a surprise. Then to top it off let them open an animal shelter so they all can profit from it. I have lived in Long Beach for over 30 years & it has ALWAYS been known that city hall is not exactly on the up & up. So yeah I think we should be outraged at the City who allowed this to happen.And when this new scandel breaks wide open is everyone going to act so surprised? This is just the tip of the iceburg with this shelter & Rescue Ink.
Happy Daze May 23, 2013 at 04:49 pm
Wow such outrage. Did you really think these guys, who illegally parked their van in a handicappedRead More spot every night in the west end a few years back, were going to be the saviors they portrayed themselves to be? Oh and let's not blame this on the City because at least the City tried to provide an animal shelter for Long Beach.
Patrick Smith May 23, 2013 at 04:42 pm
This is economic cleansing by vulture capitalists ,Agenda 21 moving as planned
Tideline May 23, 2013 at 07:45 am
I spoke with the construction mgr who told me that the entire bsmt, 1 st flr were flooded and 2 feetRead More of water onto the second floor. Foundation is sound, that is why they will be moving back in within 60 days. As bad as the damage looks, their financial picture seems even worse. Construction mgr did not seem to care about the owners situation, just finishing the work.
sun&sand May 23, 2013 at 07:05 am
The water flooded the first floor of apts. I am not sure if the entire foundation is sound--theRead More building was built on sand and several of the pilings might have to be reinforced. The 2nd floor and above was not flooded. The building sits on sand and is wide open to the elements. The people I know have been paying their maintenance charges which included RE taxes. However, the need for more money to fix everything is more than they have on hand.
Me May 22, 2013 at 10:46 am
Might actually be cheaper to buy a used RV. It doesn't need to really run or drive well. You canRead More find them on craigslist for as little as $1,000 dollars. Even if you change aout all matresses, clean up etc you could be all in for only the cost of a month or two rent. Then you can re-sell, donate to charity or give it away free when done and no problem if construction runs long you own it.

could you elaborate a bit please
andy napolitano May 23, 2013 at 03:34 pm
Just speculating that Schumer is buddies with Joe Panzarella & the shelter got finished whileRead More other places are still waiting. People can take what they want from that comment but it looks fishy.
AEA President May 23, 2013 at 09:40 am
what does this have to do with the shelter?
andy napolitano May 23, 2013 at 08:26 am
Yeah I've seen all the pictures of Joe "Panz" Panzarella with Chuck Schumer. Rescue InkRead More gets their shelter back but so many other things that are more important are still not up & running. The few animals that Rescue Ink had were in a safe warehouse so there was no real hurry to move them back to the building the shelter is in but they're back. "Politics make strange bedfellows" isn't that the saying? Chuck & Joe. Makes ya wanna go Hmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
Eddie May 22, 2013 at 10:52 am
Your bill of sale on Craigslist says the door is Fiberglas, not "clear pine".
Erica May 23, 2013 at 01:51 am
What about the foot bridges to just get in the beach in the west end? And the people still out ofRead More their homes? And the phoney letters claiming outrageous percentages of damage (proven to be untrue) to get us to raise the houses for how many thousands to be reassessed higher taxes?
Eddie May 22, 2013 at 09:21 pm
Asbury Park = Democrats. Freeport = Democrats Rockaway = Democrats Long Beach = Democrats.
Paul Carrella May 22, 2013 at 10:41 am
Taht's right Tony, takes a long time to figure out how to steal that kind of dough. Welcome to theRead More new Asbury Park.
paul.d.spellman May 21, 2013 at 10:56 am
If you have an alarm system, you need to pay the city fee. They hired an outside company to manageRead More the payments so now the fee is expected to be collected.
Leonard Bauman May 21, 2013 at 07:33 pm
I have heard 3 stories: the movie theatre owner had no flood insurance and will need to find $$ toRead More rebuild, no $$ so far; the theatre will be razed and will become home to 4 stores, the movie theatre will be renovated into a world class theatre with surround sound and ticket prices of $2 for children and $4 for adults except after 4PM.
IRISH 4 May 21, 2013 at 10:41 am
I cant believe all the shore towns with boardwalks up and running & Lb hasnt even started .SoRead More much for we are different and are building a better one,Well the first one lasted many years so just upgrade and get finished.& months later and not even a board in & still making excuses AND 4XS THE COST ....WOW WHAT A BARGAIN .
Paul Carrella May 21, 2013 at 09:34 am
Great news. Keep going, build it fast.
Publius May 21, 2013 at 08:56 am
some observations: one, applicable regulations for safety provide you cannot have mixed swimmingRead More and surfing beaches, so if the idea is to have both, you need to allocate. two, different beaches, because of bottom conditions, have very different waves -- ergo, the selection of beaches for surfing. three, on any given summer day with decent waves, and barely decent on a weekend, the number of surfers is dangerous. truly. I will not let my younger children surf/learn on those days. I won't even surf those days. four, on any given summer day, the number of people in the water, let alone actually swimming, is incredibly small in comparison to our total available beach real estate. five, as a general rule under this schedule, no swimmer should have to walk more than a few seconds to 2 minutes to be on a swimming beach. it is an allocation issue and not everyone is going to like the allocation, but that's often a part of the give and take of living in a community where resources are shared. folks who live near the train station have commuters parking in front of the their houses, sometimes with cars left for 2-3 days. similar for folks who live near the beach and can't get parking for themselves or at least their guests on a weekend. there are unbelievable issues with allocation of sports fields for practice and games. west-enders put up with bar traffic and a lot of other things. in any event, my two cents.
JPK May 20, 2013 at 01:46 pm
Couldnt agree more with your question/statement regarding the surf camps. They need to rotate also!Read More I think the camps are great for the kids and one day I hope to have a child in the camp, but they need to spread themselves around the beach!!!!
john peri Jr May 19, 2013 at 09:02 am
Food is just one element of achieving health. There are probably thousands. ForRead More instance---exercise, clean water, sunshine, avoiding poisons, proper sleep, stress management, education, etc.
AEA President May 21, 2013 at 04:13 pm
that's not the only thing going on with those rubber gloves
john peri Jr May 19, 2013 at 07:31 am
With my suggestion, the IRS could enforce compliance with bathroom inspection raids.
Eddie May 18, 2013 at 07:17 pm
Sure john, use yer teeth.
