What happened to the 20 year old who got sick on the truck?

[Mayor and Garbageman]

Is he better? Is the Village of L-Brook being sued?

When did this happened?

The kid was ill no fault of the village no liability, pre exsisting condition.

[Oh Really 1]

Lets see!

Lets see!


Actually understand the law - cant be sued

Who is the trustee responsible for the DPW?????

why was this allowed to happen?


Where was the trustee when this happened - now we have to pay for his mistake

[DPW WORKER of LYN]

complete F'in' idiot, guest you are

someone is ill and you're worried who's to blame\\\


sounds like something trustee miccio would say, trying to lay blame on someone else----SHAME ON YOU MICCIO!

Goodnight gasbag

[DPW Driver]

There have been a ton of problems in the DPW since our new trustee has come on. He drives us crazy with his inane requests and questions. He has no clue what he has been talking about and been bad mouthing the people down here. Its only been a short time and most of the workers here are fed up with him and there have been talks of numerous union complaints against him.

[DPW Driver]

Seems like our new trustee is pushing the our DPW head to make cuts so the expenses come way in under budget- already he is talking about making longer waits for bulk pickup so we can cut doen on the crews . Also there has been talk about extending the time between cutting grass.

Services are being sacrificied for some political hack. the residents need to know

[Crabtree]

Well doesn't it figure that the DWP Trustee is all about himself. What we need is a little tHOMAS jEFFERSON to the rescue.

[DPW Driver]

Since all of you were so concerned about the kid who got sick - he is ok.

Don't all jump up on your political high horses. All this so called worry and nobody asked who he was.

Add to the list of cutting expenses - longer waits for the in house road repair and there is talk about cutting back on street sweeping as our new trustee is giving us all his brilliant ideas - thank God we have a union to protect us.

good meeting last night,..does clifford really believe anybody will believe he did what he said,..or maybe he is hiding somethong

Rainbow Richie it is so nice to see that you have come out of your bunker. Didn't take you long to get back to personally attacking village residents and village officials. Try as you may- the talk around town today is still you and your extra activities. GUESS YOUR STATEMENT DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR: WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN THAT PARK IN THE MIDAFTERNOON WHICH CAUSED YOU TO BE IN SUCH A HURRY TO LEAVE WITH THE COPS AFTER YOU?

rainbow richie made newsday 12/7/05

If you think UP YOUR SCHOOL TAX PENZOOO will make a cut to save $$$$ you must be on drugs !!!

[True Blue Democrat]

RAINBOW RICHIE- YOU ARE DONE! The Newsday article has cast your creditablity in the toilet (along with Miccio and the Mayor's). There should be a full investigation into this matter immediately. The investigation should get to the bottom of : what were you doing in the park in the midafternoon; was there someone else in the vehicle with you at the time; what were you doing that lead you to FLEE (yes FLEE for all you LIP people who have continously in the past few days said where is your evidence- See Page 48 of NEWSDAY) from the Cops.

[SOUTHSIDE MOM]

HELLO- HELLO- HELLO- where is the internet LIP hit squad today?
HELLO- HELLO- HELLO, anyone out there? Calling Tom Miccio, Tom Atkinson, Gary Pasman.

For the past week you have put politics before the best welfare of this Village in the name of politics and party loyality. Does the Newsday article help you find what you have been desperately lacking in the LIP- MORAL CLARITY!

Shame on you guys- you should have listened and you should have known better.

To Southside Mom
You follow a man that can't think for himself. Did you see what happens when he asked a question, he looks over at your president to see if he should answer. 9 times out of 10 he dose not answer.
And you have a jail bird.

[rvcfireman]

The only thing that was clear from that Newsday article was how RVC was attempting to protect the reputation of its Park. It is clear that the RVC police will not be doing a thing to help Rainbow Richie out of this incident. The only comfort Rainbow Rich can take is that RVC did not expose why the officer was at the Park in the first place (ie. believed to be investigating the longstanding problem of homosexual solicitation) and that was only because it didnot want to stigmatize its Park. BUT evenually this to will come out and it will be equated with the Clifford incident.

RVC fireman

You seem to know quite a bit about the homosexual activity over there- wonder why?

But know its a cover up by the RVCPD -another Reform PArty conspiracy.

But I guess like the police said no-one uses that park to wark or jog in.

Seems like you are wishing for something that didn't happen.

[TrueBlue Democrat]

Dear RVC Fireman is a kook (aka Rainbow Richie)

Politics and ego aside, the activity described by RVC Police and contained in the Newsday article alone is damaging enough to you, your family, the LIP and the Village. The Newsday article will now certainly lead to further investigation, or at the very least probing by other individuals, into all of the events and activities that happened before the traffic infractions.

Seriously, look at what you have done objectively, let go of your personal pride and resign from the Board. It is in the best interest of everyone that is involved in this situation.

J. FITZGERALD YOU ARE A POLITICAL GENIUS. YOUR PICK OF CLIFFORD AS TRUSTEE WAS BRILLANT. CHARACTER, INTERGRITY AND SUCH A STRONG MASCULINE FIGURE ALL WRAPPED UP INTO ONE PACKAGE. THE PUBLIC LOVES HIM. KARL ROVE BETTER WATCH OUT.

THE FATE OF THE LIP WAS SEALED THE MINUTE THEY LET YOU BACK IN THE DOOR.

But dont forget J. Fitzgerald has RVC Fireman's manhood on her mantle.

Ask him how it felt to be humiliated like that by her.

Hey Goose 8 what do you think of your boy Richie now.
Please tell me again what a good cop you think he is.

Now the police say there was no car chase

Unlikely coincidences cloud tale of Lynbrook trustee's traffic tickets

In the past week, a strange series of events involving a Lynbrook village trustee has included allegations of a high-speed car chase, a supposed effort to evade police, and a fellow trustee reportedly hiding in bushes and taking photographs. In the wake of all the confusion, what remains is the fact that Lynbrook Trustee Richard J. Clifford was issued two tickets for traffic violations on Nov. 30.
The fact that Clifford, a retired New York City police officer, had recently asked to be considered for the Rockville Centre police commissioner's job and that he has been embroiled in ongoing political discord in Lynbrook had conspiracy theorists in both villages buzzing. Was Clifford set up and, if so, by whom?
One of the more remarkable aspects of the drama was Rockville Centre Police Commissioner Jack McKeon's refutations of his account in Newsday of the alleged high-speed chase. "Newsday got it wrong," McKeon said, referring to an article that appeared on Wednesday in which he said that Clifford led Rockville Centre police on a chase through local streets.
In a phone interview with the Herald on Wednesday, McKeon denied the published statement, saying, "All we have here is a series of traffic infractions." McKeon confirmed that Clifford was issued a ticket for speeding and another for making an illegal U-turn.
Clifford is more surprised than anyone at the attention his tickets have drawn. "I don't believe this is going on," Clifford told the Herald on Wednesday. "I committed a traffic infraction, and the political climate in Lynbrook has blown things up more than they should have. The officer was doing his job, and gave me a summons for a traffic infraction."
In a statement at the village board meeting on Monday, Clifford said, in part, "When I arrived home on [Nov. 30], a plainclothes Rockville Centre police officer, driving a white Nissan Maxima, was at my house. He issued a ticket for the U-turn and a speeding ticket, and that was that. What has transpired since then is nothing short of defamatory and insulting false rumors about my character. ... There are a few people in our community who believe that democracy gives them the right to be malicious and to defame. They are sadly mistaken. Their actions only reveal their own depraved character."
Adding to the confusion was the allegation that Trustee David Penso and former Trustee Kevin Kelly were on the scene when Clifford was issued the tickets, and that Penso photographed the incident. When asked if he was waiting in the bushes near Clifford's house with a camera, Penso said, "No. I was a block away, and I had my digital camera, because I always keep it in my car. Outside of Richie Clifford's house there was a marked Rockville Centre police car, an unmarked Rockville Centre police car, and former Trustee Kevin Kelly. I was right out in the open. I was speaking to the trustee and the people who live in [a neighboring] house. I was not hiding behind any bushes."
Penso admitted to taking a photo of Clifford being issued the summonses, but did not elaborate on his reasons for doing so or what brought him and Kelly to Clifford's neighborhood just in time to witness and photograph the incident. "I hope that the Herald does not put a spin on any of the events, because I will hold them accountable," Penso said .
Kelly did not return calls for comment.
When asked about his interest in the police commissioner's job, Clifford said, "In September, Commissioner McKeon fell unexpectedly ill, and it was my understanding that his position might become available in the future. ... McKeon recovered from his unexpected hospital stay, and the request for consideration became a moot point, as far as I was concerned."

Cliffy is finished! Tell all the stories you want.

I'll bet all three people who read this board care about this.

Cliffy you really are stupid!! Everyone know when you are in trouble in keep your mouth shut. I heard your lawyer was incompetent now I really believe it. HA HA HA. You are done.

How long were a cop? Didn't you learn anything? How did you make it through the academy? I just can't believe it!!

Sounds like the strategy Penssso has been using - just keep throwing lies at the wall and see what sticks. But thats what happens when yopu hide in the bushes.

Pensssso looks like the dope with the Herald article

Cliffy come on the Herald. You must be joking.
Stupid stupid Cliffy or Rainbow Richie if that's that is what you prefer. HA HA HA.

Your rumors are falling faster than Penssssso dropping donuts - keep it up the residnets already have seen through the games the Reform party is playing - guess thats why you need to hide in the bushes

Cliffy you are done.
How stupid it wasn't bad enoungh that is was on 880 and in Newday. HA HA HA HA.

Tell me, does your kid believe you? That is who I feel sorry for.
You are a laughing stock!!

You are so sadly mistaken as the backlash on the PEnquin on this has been amazing - down at the DPW they are thinking of brnging all new bushes over to Kowal so the PEnquin can practice his hiding they couldn't stop laughing at him this morning

Dream on.

Ask cliffy kid who's talking about Daddy?
I feel sorry for the kid.

If dave has a picture of Cliffy. He is a Genius.

Dream on.

Ask cliffy kid who's talking about Daddy?
I feel sorry for the kid.

If dave has a picture of Cliffy. He is a Genius.The only pictures Dave has are from behind the bush - if he had anything we would have known by now all we got was hius legendary temper and anger in the Herald

Well time for the penquin to dissappear - The DPW guys were having a great laugh at his expense this morning -

I hope Dave has the Picture.

Did you ask Cliffy Kid who is talking about Daddy and laughing?
Do you feel sorry for the Kid? Wonder what Cliffy wife thinks.
Did she speak to the Herald?

[Reformerpaul]

Iam no political guru but tell me- the LIP's plan to have the Herald issue that crazy rebuttable article to Newsday was just plain stupid for these reasons:
1. The Herald now has confirmed it is the house organ for the LIP
2. No one is going to believe the Herald over Newsday
3. The anti-Reform party/Pensssso portion of the article has now given Dave the opportunity to address this whole mess at the next board meeting. WHICH HE REALLY HAS TO DUE TO THE ARTICLE.

Wasn't the whole LIP plan to let this thing die. NOW the LIP has invited (actually required Dave) this whole incident to be re-brought uo at the next meeting.

The LIP IS A BUNCH OF BUSH LEAGUE IDIOTS THAT DON'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT.

I agree.

Cliffy and the are lawyer are stupid!
What a stupid move!

But Cliffy I know you are reading this do you feel sorry for your kid?

[Penquin bashed again]

Penzzzooo was bashed again in the Herald he is going to look like the fool talking about in January - cant wait to hear his whiny excuse at that time - well I was inn the bushes because......

It's becoming a real disaster for the PEnquin

[Penquin bashed again]

Reformer Paul

the more you bash the herald the more people will bleieve it is correct - you are doing a great job at that.

Newsday has very little credibility after the volunteer FD story - there goes another one for you.

Heralds have been flying off the newstands around the village - seems like residents are very interested in what Davey P was doing in the bushes

How does Cliffy wife and kid feel?
Does anyone of the LIP members care?
What school does the Kid go to again?


Cliffy is the laughing stock of the village!!!!

Guest- politics is politics- but Clifford'swife and daughter have nothing to do with this so leave them outta all postings. I am saying this fully realizing that this may be more respect than Clifford might extend under the same circumstances but all the same his wife and daughter should be off limits.

Lastly Richie, this is my first and last posting on this subject. I will give you a pass on that posting two days ago (in which you were mistaken that it was me) and stay on the sidelines- outta of this.

Cliffy I feel sorry for them.
It really must be horrible to be connected with you.
You really must be one selfish baster!

This board has really outdone itself. What any of this BS has to do with advancing teh village of L y n b r o o k is beyond my comprehemsion. I gues traffic violations put everyone on America's most wanted...... or unwanted.

Seems like a bunch of children spitting at each other.. you touched me....did not....did too, did not....did to....yish.

Get a grip morons.

Dear Silent

Is Cliffy a moran? Is he best you had?
Pretty sad for a ex cop.


Best Regards

Is this the same person

Clifford is candid about what he feels he would bring to the board as a village trustee. "A proven problem solver, being accessible to the community is paramount," he said. "As a retired individual. I have the time to dedicate to my community, and I accept the challenge with enthusiasm and dedication."
Clifford is an active member of Our Lady of Peace Roman Catholic Church, The Fraternal Order of Police, the FBI's National Academy of Associates, the American Society for Industrial Security, the Retired Lieutenants Benevolent Association, the New York 10/13 Association and the International Investigators Association. "I have a great deal of training and background that can serve the community, to improve our quality-of-life issues in Lynbrook," said Clifford, who is married and has one child.

of course it is the same person
He also lies alot.

I am happy to see the writers on SD20 postings are as turned off
by Pen Zoo as we all are.
The only problem is we can not get him out of town.

you lip people are so ready to jump on pen so why not clifford , cliffy was ready to jump on some one oh wait the cops found him first

Because Pen Zoo is an A-- H--- !!!!

Because Pen Zoo can not make up his mind unles he gets direction from Gas Bag, Jail Bird and Cres is boy !!

[outsider observer]

as an outsider, and not knowing any of the people posting here, only one observation is clear: the trustee you are writing about got elected. You didn't.

Pen Zoo got in only because of the way the clerk set up the vote machine. And we know who that clerk is.

you're so so very blind, wait and see at the next election, oh wait the idiot pazman is going to work all things out, good luck his biggest claim to fame lip ex pres..what a headline..and miccio as their leader stop I am still laughing his daddy may pay his bills but he can't get him re elected..you people will blame anyone other then the little man scarpato

you're so so very blind, wait and see at the next election, oh wait the idiot pazman is going to work all things out, good luck his biggest claim to fame lip ex pres..what a headline..and miccio as their leader stop I am still laughing his daddy may pay his bills but he can't get him re elected..you people will blame anyone other then the little man scarpato

You blame pazmann well let me tell you being on the inside I know for fact he was against RC for the position. He was not able to vote with the nominating committee because as President he was able to over see the commette but had no vote He did try to convince the commette not to elect RC to the position . He prevailed the first two meetings for another candidate but was ogver ruled on the third meeting I know about this because I was there

Wrong again. Vote 1 for Cliffy Vote 2 for someone else Vote 3 for Cliffy.

Wrong again. Vote 1 for Cliffy Vote 2 for someone else Vote 3 for Cliffy.

Well you are technically right. Vote #1 was for Cliffy but than BC got involved and Vote #2 was overwhelmingly for BC than certain LIP members were pissed off that BC came in just under the deadline and stole it from Cliffy so they have Vote #3 and it was Cliffy. BC was a real idiot- He should never had keep his mouth shut like a good soldier. Real smart decision BC- for your silence Scarpato screwed you to the wall three months later. Bet you wish you had that decision back!

Oh just for those of you who are coming into the game late or uninformed: Thats why Cliffy went after BC's job down in the village because he never forgave him for taking the LIP nomination away from him (at least temporarily).

The funiest thing is that everyone ended up getting screwed: BC practically got expelled from the LIP, Scarpato and Ledwith are stuck with the embrassment that their hand picked Trustee Clifford has become, the LIP has no future now and Clifford, what can you say, at best, he is a lame duck official for three years - at worst he remains the butt (sorry for the pun) of every homosexual joke in the Village.

One last thing- for those of you who are asking how I know this? I heard it directly from my neighbor's husband, who is a BIG whig in the LIP, and who also is pretty feedup with the whole Clifford episode.

The LIP christmas party held at the new senior care on Ocean ....yes the one one the board gave special rights to, yes that one, well the affair was well .....not so well attended, and guess what , it was free to the LIp although the wonderful Joanie still charged us 32 dollars a head...couldn't we have had a chance to pay a little less,..well the big boys are so scared of who will run for trustees and mayor and even ledwith knows micio can hold a lick to any warm body running that the will need all they can get to put spins on everything ...well see you at the next fundraiser

Once again the GAS BAGS at the LIARS CLUB also known as the REFORM PARTY is giving out false information!! They are very good at that. They couldn't stand to see the LIP have a Holiday Luncheon with out serving up some sour grapes!! I understand they had there Holiday Party in a telephone booth.
Glen offerered this luncheon as a freebee, but the LIP said thanks but no thanks we will pay!!
This group was against Glen from the start for some reason, who knows why?
There is no doubt that Glen is a great addition to L Y N B R O O K ! It is a hell of a lot better than the pile of junk that was there, why the Reformers wanted that is questionable.

not according to Joan Fitzgerald

I do not know who gives you information, but you are 100% wrong!!

I do not know who gives you information, but you are 100% wrong!!

It depends on where you live. That's how much the leadership of the "reform" party cost you, the taxpayer. The courts threw out their leader's stupid lawsuit after years of lost taxes. . The one he and others were duped into starting by one of lynbrook's ultimate lunatics. Boy did you get taken to the cleaners. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks crazies

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE ECHO FROM SCARPATOS BUTT,..TOM THE HOTEL WILL NOT HAPPEN, AND YOU'LL BE OUT OF OFFICE

[Penzzzzos new problem]

Seems like the Lynnbrook Board knew about the problem in the reserve for years

The Lynnbrook Board of Education revealed that there was a discrepancy regarding funds in their capital reserve at the regular board meeting held on Jan. 11. Following this revelation, the Herald has learned that this is not the first time policy and procedure has been the topic of conversation between the New York State Education Department (SED) and the board.

While an SED audit report of the Lynnbrook School District in 2000 found that a resident's allegations of misuse of capital reserve funds were unfounded, the state did find cause to make recommendations that the board improve policies and procedures related to the fund. The audit based its conclusion on a review of documentation and samples of expenses charged to the fund, as well as interviews with district officials regarding policies and practices.
Michael Abbott, Director of Audit Services for the SED, was the audit manager for the special review, the results of which were published in March 2000. In that report, the SED suggested that the district pay for capital reserve projects directly from the capital reserve fund. The SED said that this would eliminate the need to transfer funds between the general fund and the capital reserve, and minimize the risk of the fund commingling, which is what the district was doing at the time.
The audit revealed that the district had been paying for
capital projects out of the general fund and then transferring funding from the capital reserve to the general fund - rather than paying directly from the capital reserve. The SED also recommended that the specific account code, project number, or project location be included on checks and invoices to improve accountability. A discrepancy was also noted in that the district used the designation "D" to refer to the capital reserve fund, while the Uniformed System of Accounts for School Districts designates capital reserve funds with an "H."
Abbott said that at the time, the district did not provide a formal written response to the review, but they indicated verbally that they agreed with the recommendations and had, in fact, already implemented many of them.
At the Jan 11 meeting, the Not Allowed Board of Education's revelation was that they may have exceeded the limit of their capital reserve fund, and that they were taking steps to rectify the situation. In a statement read at the meeting, President Phyllis Caruso said that board members believed that they had exceeded their funding limit by about $240,000 after determining their budget surplus for 2004-05, and that after discussions with their auditor there were questions over what their actual funding limits were.
School district auditor, Vincent Cullen of Coughlin, Foundotos, Cullen, and Danowski, LLP, of Port Jefferson Station, said records showed that the fund limit was $10 million, while the district believed it was $5 million. According to Education Law section 3651, the amount for the fund must be in the proposition approved by voters that creates the fund. In Lynnbrook's case, the proposition approved by voters in May 2001, set that limit at $5 million plus interest.
According to SED spokesperson Jonathan Burman, 2005 financial statements show that the district's capital reserve fund limit was exceeded by $241,855. Burman said, this week, that the district "does not have the authority to exceed that amount" and that in response the district has indicated that it intends to submit a proposition to the voters to increase the limitation.
"In these types of cases, we do typically send letters to districts outlining our concerns," said Burman. "These letters explain that the district does not have the authority to exceed the voter-authorized amount and they must adhere to the law. We do not typically ask for disciplinary action to be taken against personnel in charge of maintaining financial records."
Burman added that any residents feeling aggrieved by the action of a school district may file a Section 310 appeal to the Commissioner of Education challenging that action. Information on appeals can be found at http://www.counsel.nysed.gov/appeals/faqs.htm.
Seeking a solution
In her statement at the board meeting Caruso said that the board felt obligated to inform the community of the issue, and that upon the recommendation of their auditor and attorney, the board intends to ask the community to allow the district to continue with major capital improvements by extending the limits of the capital reserve fund. The current fund is set to expire on June 30.
"We're going to try to reach out to the community to explain [this situation]," said Assistant Superintendent for Business Melissa Burak. "It's not something you can read off a piece of paper and understand. You need the face-to-face [meeting] to explain it."
Burak said it was important to renew the fund for another five years, and that the new limit for the fund would be determined by two factors - the district's funding history and the projects that will be needed in the future. Superintendent Dr. Philip Cicero said that "the needs of the district over the next five years" would be the driving force behind the board's determination of an amount they will ask the public to approve.
At least one resident is resistant.
"The taxpayers would do better to set up a three-card monte game on a corner in the city rather than trusting these people," said Larry kncokitoff, a recent candidate for the school board. Aside from making a bid for a school board seat five times, he has filed several actions against the district over other alleged infractions. "I could never win against the board, but [the SED] always seemed to find that I had some valid points."
Caruso said that there would be further discussions of the matter during budget sessions, and that copies of her statement would be available in the superintendent's office. Cullen has been invited to the Feb. 8 Board of Education meeting to answer questions from the public.
