The Mineola School District saw a .58 percent increase, or $26,253 from 2012-13, in Gov. Cuomo's preliminary state aid figures released last week. The state awarded Mineola $4,492,542 last year.
Mineola saw "a slight" increase in building aid, according to Finance Superintendent Jack Waters, but a reduction in high tax aid. The district received $290,733 last year, but just $87,219 next year.
Negotiations are still ongoing, according to district reps. But Waters isn't expecting much to change.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to go out with a budget calculation including a state aide number that's any higher that they're telling me we're going to get," he said.
Mineola revealed that pension cost increases for next year are about $1.5 million. Under state law, Mineola could put out a 3.05 percent tax increase for the next year, with half of the estimated pension spikes not included, leveling out piercing the cap, a move the district does not want to make.
Mandated increases from the state do not give Mineola wiggle room, but the district is confidant that it can budget accordingly, despite getting a flat aid rate year-to-year.
"We have to budget accordingly based on what we're getting and what our calculation right now is on the levy cap," Waters stated.
Mineola's budget cannot exceed the calculations of state aid, other revenue (school rentals, etc.) and the tax levy.
Pension cost estimations, Waters said, could be anywhere from 15.5 to 16.5 percent or $5.9 million. Employee cost rates for this year is 11.84 percent, with an estimated increase of 4.16 percent next year. The 2012-13 Teacher Retirement System payroll totals $37 million.
The first 2 percent of the employee cost rate is included in the levy cap calculation, according to Waters. Any increase over the 2 percent is exempt from the levy cap, which means if the district chooses, it can exceed the cap.
"The governor's budget is a proposal and, as we negotiate a final budget for New York State, I will be working with my colleagues toward securing more state aid for Long Island school districts," Senator Jack Martins said. "In this economy, every school district is a high needs district when it comes to funding."
The governor's budget must be ratified by April 1.

Way before Home Depot or Ace Hardware came into existence, there were little mom-and-pop shops like Munder's True Value on Hillside Avenue in Williston Park. The hardware store, which opened its doors in 1948, is somewhat of a suburban dinosaur having outlasted several other hardware stores in the area.
"My father, Charles, opened this store in 1948 after returning home from World War II," said Bill Munder, who took over the store operation seven years ago. "His parents wanted to know his plans after he returned home from the marines and he decided to open this store on Hillside Avenue."

The debate over New York State Common Core standards continues, with students from the Mineola School District showing a mild resistance to the exams.
According to the New York State Allies for Public Education, Mineola had some of the lowest numbers, with eight students opting out of the English Language Arts test. However, not a single Mineola student missed the math test. In East Williston, the opt out rates were 75 students in ELA and 60 in math.

The New York Cosmos hosted the Mineola Athletic Association's Soccer Club recently for its penultimate fall 2014 home game. More than 140 members of the MAA soccer club and their families came out on a chilly October evening to show their love of the game. Twenty-two Mineola boys and girls had the honor of escorting the New York Cosmos and Ottawa Fury players onto the field in the traditional "Walk of Champions."
The Mineola spirit must have inspired the home team, as spectators enjoyed the exciting 2-1 Cosmos victory, with the game-winning goal coming in stoppage time.

"Affordable multifamily housing presents unique challenges for those trying to manage bed bugs, cockroaches and rodents," the organization said in a release. "Pest-free housing is a realisitc goal, but a network of staff, pest management professionals, and residents must cooperate to successfully manage pests building-wide."
The guide will help affordable housing managers, owners and agents use IMP to content with a variety of urban pests in their facilities, the organization said, adding it will also serve as a useful tool for anyone seeking to implement IPM practices into a residential pest management strategy.
The guide was supported through an interagency agreement between USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control.

University of California, Riverside Citrus Variety Collection
The UCR Citrus Variety Collection (CVC) is one of the most important collections of citrus diversity in the world. It is used for research, breeding, and educational extension activities on the UC Riverside campus in Riverside, California.
The collection is composed of 1800 trees, representing two of each of the 900 different types of citrus and relatives. 640 types are within the genus Citrus, the remaining types are included among 28 other related genera in the Rutaceae sub-family Aurantiodeae.
The CVC was first established with approximately 500 species of citrus planted on 5 acres (20,000 m2) by Herbert John Webber, professor of plant breeding and director of the early UC Citrus Experiment Station. Today, the collection consists of 22.3 acres (90,000 m2) on the UCR campus, 2 acres (8,100 m2) at the South Coast Research and Extension Center in Irvine, California, and 2 acres (8,100 m2) at the Coachella Valley Agricultural Research Station in Thermal, California. It still includes accessions that were first introduced in the early 20th century, as well as newer varieties that were more recently developed through the Citrus Clonal Protection Program (CCPP), a special program that evaluates the trees for the nursery and citrus industries.
The collection currently serves as a genetic resource for research ranging from the grafting of rootstocks to the study of limonoids as anti-cancer agents. In addition, the USDA-ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Citrus and Dates (NCGRCD) uses the collection for the conservation of genetic diversity within the Rutaceae family. The CVC also provides fruit for many education extension activities, such as the Riverside Orange Blossom Festival.[1]
The collection attracts admirers from around the world. In addition to her research duties, Curator Tracy Kahn regularly hosts grocers, farmers, restaurateurs as well as members of the public interested in rare varieties of the fruit. Her collaborations with local chef Brien Clements, owner of Restaurant Omakase, have led to the production of gourmet citrus dinners that have attracted the attention of connoisseurs in New York, resulting in his invitation to cook a citrus meal for the James Beard Foundation.[2]
David Karp is currently photographing the fruit and trees of the CVC, which are placed on the web by Tony Siebert.

Long time reader, first time poster... thanks for all the advice I've gathered from this site. You guys are great.
So my first brew (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone) is in the secondary (looks and tastes great so far) and I'm totally hooked into brewing. Ready to start my next batch. I really wanna make something for the winter months, but I'm afraid that it's a little late in the season. After a search for "christmas" I read that a lot of you were starting your brews in during the summer, and allowing a lot of conditioning time for that strong ale to mellow out.
So... do you think it's too late for me to give something a go? Any recommendations on recipes or advice from brews past?
There's still plenty of time to do a winter ale so long as you aren't looking to make a RIS or Barleywine or Old/Strong Ale. Why not try out a Sweet Stout or Oatmeal Stout or a nice spiced porter or nut brown ale? Just don't brew anything that needs months of aging and you'll be fine.
I would try the nut brown ale...doesn't take long to condition and will defiantly be ready by christmas
Primary 1-This Bud's for you
Primary 2- Cream Ale
Secondary 1- Strong Scotch Ale
Secondary 2- empty
Bottled/Kegged- Centinneal Blonde, Apfelwein
Up Next- MyCastle (N.English Brown Ale), Hooch Pale Ale
Thinking About: Tripple Bock, Chocolate Stout, open to suggestions"Every beer is a good beer if I can taste the brewer's intent"
-Jim Koch
Is this guy serious??:
if you want a kit, the Northern Brewer Spiced Winter Ale is ready very quickly(6-8 weeks). I made when I was just starting out and it was a big hit. like my cousin said, "it tastes like Christmas."
Kegged: Berlinerweisse, Dubbel, Galaxy Wheat
Bottled: Golden Strong, Mild, IIPA, Rauch
Fermenting: Saison, Imperial Wheat Stout, Brett Saison, APA, Brett Roggenbier
Thanks for the advice... I picked up an Anchor Our Special Ale kit... a clone of their 1995 recipe. Brewin it tonight! I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Christmas brews are indeed usually strong and sometimes spiced and for both of those reasons peak after some time, but there's certainly nothing to say you can't make SOMETHING christmas-y and have it ready. Maybe a chocolaty coffee stout or a nut brown with some cinnamon.
Hope yours turns out good.
Well, I only have one experience brewing with cinnamon. I used pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice in my pumpkin ale and the taste of cinnamon is a bit overwhelming. I've heard plenty of people rack a beer onto two whole sticks. Search for some recipes including cinnamon, see what other people have done and what their results have been.
Technically, it's never too late to brew a Christmas brew...it just depends on which Christmas...
If you use a lot of spices it'll add time to the aging/mellowing process.
If you want something for this year I would recommend reducing any recipe's spice quantity. For instance, whatever the recipe calls for I'd reduce it by 1/4 or a 1/3.
Most of the time All Spice has too much clove in it for me. So, I do not recommend All Spice.

What are your thoughts on being reunited with offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger?
"It's great. I had a great relationship with him. He came to
What do you think about being back in
"When I came here out of college, it was just a perfect fit for me with Coach Fisher and the great group of guys that we had and Coach Heimerdinger, also. I had a disappointing couple of years up in
What makes Mike Heimerdinger such a great offensive coordinator?
"As a receiver, he just knows his stuff. I remember him showing Drew Bennett and I film of Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey when he coached them in
Why didn't things work out in
"There are a number of factors. I can't really go into all of them. It wasn't really a good fit with the couple of offenses that I had to switch around with and learn. Chad Pennington and I never really clicked. A lot of it is me. I didn't step up the way I did here, and I look forward to proving a lot of things to myself and really finishing out my career on a positive note."
Is it strange coming back here with things being so different now?
"When I first came for the visit, it seemed like I hadn't left, but then you look around and it's kind of weird. I remember walking into this place as a rookie and feeling those nerves and feeling like I had a lot to prove, and then when I came in here and talked to Coach Fisher and Coach Heimerdinger and Coach Lowry, it kind of rejuvenated me a little bit and it just felt good."
What is your perception of the group of receivers here?
"I know there are some quality guys in the receivers room, a lot of big guys. I look forward to working with them, just getting to know some of these guys. It seems like a very talented group, a very positive group that's willing to get better, and that's how I like to be myself."
What are your thoughts on working with Vince Young?
"I haven't really met Vince yet, but just watching him on TV he's obviously a heck of an athlete with a great arm and great legs. I've heard he's a great guy to work with. He's willing to get comfortable with his receivers, doing extra things after practice in the off-season. We'll see what happens. I just look forward to meeting him, working with him and getting to know him on the field."
When do you think that meeting with Vince might take place?
"I guess he's at school right now, right? Whenever he gets back. I guess he's getting his degree, which is a good thing. As of now, I can concentrate on myself, getting to know these receivers and the rest of this team, and improving myself physically and getting ready to go."
Is this a second chance for you after what happened in
"I still believe in my abilities, I still know I can be a great player in this league. Yeah, I guess it is a second chance to get back with coaches who know me and a system that I know, and I really look forward to the opportunity."
Can you look at Justin Gage as an example of a guy who played well on a one-year contract, then got extended for a multi-year deal?
"Definitely, he's a heck of a player. I definitely look forward to maybe opening some eyes myself and improving my standing in helping this team win some games."

Cochran: 'Underestimating syndrome' hurting disaster funding

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) says budgetary "underestimating syndrome" skews congressional and public understanding of the federal funding needed to address disaster recovery.
Cochran serves on the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee that conducted a hearing Wednesday afternoon titled "The Federal Role in Disaster Recovery and Response." The hearing featured testimony from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Army Corps of Engineers.
"We need to streamline, modernize and make user-friendly the disaster assistance programs we have. This hearing will serve a purpose of helping us all realize that we have a responsibility to the constituents and the people of this country to make these federal disaster programs work as intended and to make them make sense, too," Cochran said. "This goal is all the more important as we work to control our deficit by reducing and prioritizing overall federal expenditures."
Cochran said an "intentional underestimating syndrome" within White House administrations of both parties makes it more difficult for Congress, as well as the public, to grasp the magnitude of the disaster response and recovery needs.
"When a Democratic or Republican administration knows the federal government has obligations but does not request adequate funding, it unnecessarily makes providing for disaster recovery harder, and places the nation at risk should an unpredicted catastrophic disaster strike," Cochran said. "It is my hope that we can work cooperatively with the administration to make tough annual budget decisions."
Cochran also questioned the pace of recovery cost estimates from the Army Corps of Engineers to make repairs to levees and other flood control structures damaged by massive flooding on the Mississippi River and its tributaries this summer. Those disaster recovery costs could also compound pressure on the Army Corps of Engineers budget for the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project.
"We haven't seen any formal request for additional funding from the Administration to address the extent of the damage from flooding on the Mississippi River and its tributaries," Cochran said. "We hope the administration and the Congress don't wait around and fail to encourage the appropriation of funds that will certainly be needed."
The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that it will need more than $2 billion to restore flood-damaged structures to full functionality. The Senate Appropriations Committee meanwhile in September approved $1.04 billion in emergency disaster response funds for the Corps.
