Phase ll of Leandra's Law in Effect Sunday
LEANDRA ROSADO
KATIE FLYNN
"Drinking and Driving has taken too many lives and broken too many hearts," Nassau Executive Ed Mangano said. Nassau County will do everything in its legal power to prosecute convicted drunk drivers. Leandra's Law will certainly prove to be another deterrent to this senseless crime. The second provision of Leandra's Law will take effect on Sunday, which requires anyone convicted of driving while intoxicated as a misdemeanor or felony including first time offenders to install an ignition interlock system, in his or her vehicle. To operate a vehicle with an ignition interlock system, drivers must blow into a device that checks blood alcohol levels. The law will require DWI offenders to install a global positioning device at their own expense and keep them there for at least six months.
The law was adopted after Leandra Rosado was killed in a car crash because the driver of her car was drunk. The first provision of Leandra's law went into effect in December making it a felony for anyone to drive while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs with children under 16 in their vehicle.
Together Leandra's father Lenny Rosado and Neil and Jennifer Flynn of Long Beach, whose daughter Katie, 7, was killed by a drunk driver who drove the wrong way on the Meadowbrook Parkway in 2005 worked tirelessly to see this law come into effect.
The crash also killed limo driver Stanley Rabinowitz who was driving the Flynns back from a wedding.
Blood Drive
Please remember that the St. Catherine of Sienna Blood Drive is on Sunday from 8:30Am to 2:30Pm. St. Catherine's is located at 33 New Hyde Park Road, in Franklin Square. The Blood Drive is being held in the basement of The Sienna Center. follow the signs. Please help us make this drive a success and surpass last years collection of 123 pints.

Cruise to the Show
Mangano Announces Nassau County Executive's First Annual "Cruise To The Show" Parade And Car Show
Reminds Interested Participants to Register Online
Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano reminds residents that the first annual “Cruise to the Show” parade and car show will be held on Sunday, August 15, 2010.* Those interested in participating can register online at www.cruisetotheshow.com.
Featured at the event will be a restored 1909 Alco-6 Racer that is believed to have been the winner of the historic 1909 and 1910 Vanderbilt Cup races held on the Long Island Motor Parkway. This “Black Beast” is one of only 12 Alco Racers that are known to exist, out of the 1,100 built between 1908 and 1913, and the priceless car made a return to Long Island when it was purchased by Howard Kroplick in December 2008. It had previously spent 15 years in France.
Beginning at the Nassau County Supreme Courthouse in Mineola, at 9:00AM, the "Cruise to the Show" will continue along Stewart Avenue in Garden City before ending in Eisenhower Park. More than 500 vehicles of all makes, models and years will follow the parade route, and spectators are encouraged to watch them drive by on Stewart Avenue – the ‘best seat in the house’.
Following the parade, the County will host a car show featuring live music, refreshments, vendors, and of course, some great-looking classic cars.
“As a car enthusiast, I am very excited to be hosting this great event,” said County Executive Mangano. “If you have a car that you want to show off, or if you just want to enjoy the classic, fast, and unique cars, I invite you to come and spend a beautiful summer day at Eisenhower Park.”
“Cruise to the Show” sponsors include HUB Garage, Automat Customization and Restoration, and Obar Auto Parts. For more information, including registration and how to become a vendor or sponsor, please visit www.cruisetotheshow.com or call (516) 573-3488.

Shed the Meds
State Sen. Charles Fuschillo Jr. and Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano are sponsoring a "Shed the Meds" at Wantagh Park on Saturday, Aug. 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at which residents can safely dispose of old and unused prescription medications.
Medications should not be flushed down the toilet as they have been in the past, as they can get into the water system. If left unattended in medicine cabinets, prescription medications also often find their way into the hands of teenagers looking to get high. Prescription pain relievers like OxyContin have, in part, been blamed on the recent heroin epidemic among young people, as they act as "gateway" drugs to street narcotics such as heroin.
Wantagh Park is at 1 King Road, just south of Merrick Road. For more information, call Fuschillo’s office at (516) 882-0630.

Schedule for Spraying for West Nile
LIMITED GROUND SPRAYING FOR WEST NILE VIRUS
TO BEGIN IN TARGETED AREAS OF NASSAU COUNTY
After consultation with the Nassau County Department of Health, the Nassau County Department of Public Works will begin ground spraying in parts of Nassau County to help control mosquitoes which may be carrying the West Nile virus.
Recent surveillance data has demonstrated an increased threat of West Nile virus. Experts from the New York State Department of Health have advised Nassau County that the risk to the public’s health warrants the application of adulticide to control mosquitoes in certain areas of the County. Nassau County will also continue our larvicide mosquito control program and remind residents to continue to take personal protective measures.
Where: Areas to be sprayed by truck will include sections of the following communities: Massapequa, Merrick, Freeport, Roosevelt, Valley Stream, North Valley Stream, Elmont, Seaford, Wantagh and North Massapequa. The ground spraying will be conducted within a one-mile radius of our mosquito surveillance trap. The areas of detail are included in the attached maps.
When: Weather permitting, the planned schedule for truck spraying is as follows:
Sections of Massapequa, Massapequa Park and North Massapequa: Tuesday, August 3rd, 7 pm – 12 am.
Alternate dates: Wednesday, Thursday, or Monday, August 4th, 5th or 9th, 7 pm – 12 am.
GROUND SPRAYING BY TRUCK HAS BEEN COMPLETED IN THE MASSAPEQUA AREA
Sections of Merrick, North Merrick, Freeport and Roosevelt: Wednesday, August 4th, 7 pm – 12 am.
Alternate dates: Thursday, Monday or Tuesday, August 5th, 9th or 10th, 7 pm – 12 am.
Sections of Valley Stream, North Valley Stream, Franklin Square and Elmont: Thursday, August 5th, 7 pm – 12 am.
Alternate dates: Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, August 9th, 10th or 11th, 7 pm – 12 am.
Sections of Wantagh, North Wantagh, Levittown, Seaford and North Massapequa: Monday, August 9th, 7 pm – 12 am.
Alternate dates: Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, August 10th, 11th or 12th, 7 pm – 12 am.
What: Scourge is a pesticide containing resmethrin and piperonyl butoxide. Resmethrin is a man-made pyrethroid insecticide that can also be found in other pesticide products used indoors and on pets to control ticks and other insects, such as fleas and ants. Piperonyl butoxide does not directly kill insects on its own, but acts to increase the ability of resmethrin to kill insects. These active ingredients are dissolved in a petroleum solvent. (Material data sheet)
Health Effects: The chance of experiencing any health effects from the use of Scourge to control mosquitoes is quite low. As with any pesticide, individuals may want to reduce or eliminate exposure. Some particularly sensitive individuals may possibly experience short-term effects such as eye, skin, nose or throat irritation or breathing problems.
To Reduce Exposure: The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) do not require relocating or taking special precautions during mosquito control spraying. Individuals, especially pregnant women and children, should remain inside during the spraying and for about 30 minutes afterwards. In addition, individuals may minimize exposure by:
Keep windows and doors shut, setting air conditioners to re-circulate if able. Turn window fans off.
Keeping children's toys indoors.
Keeping pets indoors, as well as their food, water dishes and toys.
Cover fishponds during the spray period.
Since the effects of the ground spraying dissipate in a few hours, it is not necessary to wash off outdoor furniture or playground equipment before use, although doing so will not diminish the effectiveness of the pesticide applied.
For additional information: Please call the West Nile Virus Spray Hotline at 1-888-844-8657, on the days that spraying is scheduled, between the hours of 4:00 P.M. and 12:00 am or visit the Nassau County Department of Health website at www.nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/health/ or the Nassau County website at www.nassaucountyny.gov/
