I was dismayed by Joseph B. Margolin’s letter in the Sept. 15-21 Herald, “What about Hewlett-Woodmere?” criticizing Mayor Ed Fare’s new Mayor for the Day contest. Mr. Margolin asserts that Mayor Fare excluded children who live in Valley Stream and attend District 14 schools.

Some of the comments made by a couple of people in the Herald article “The eyesore of Gibson” (April 27-May 3), I believe, were misdirected. Dr. Leonard M. Bleicher, a want-to-be Gibson real estate tycoon, deliberately destroyed the very stores he purchased.

As I am certain you recall, numerous meeting, calls, symposiums and discussions were held between our federal and village officials with regard to the implemented FEMA flood maps and their impact on the Village of Valley Stream.

Thankfully, Irene has passed through Valley Stream, hopefully without too much damage and devastation. One thing that did not happen is that there was no flooding in Gibson, where the new flood maps were effective in September 2009.
