Letter: Thank You To The Mineola Fire Department

 Close relatives would like to express thanks to the wonderful memorial that the Mineola Fire Department gave our beloved Mary Zoffranieri. From the first night of her wake to the time of her entombment at Holy Rood Cemetery, the Mineola Fire Department never left her side.

It was such a comfort for her family to witness such a touching experience to a wonderful person. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all at Mineola Fire Department.

From the family of 

Mary Zoffranieri

Emails spark debate, outrage

If Terence Hale thought he could save the Mineola School District or himself from trouble and expense, he was sorely mistaken. 

Irene Parrino isn’t going anywhere. 

 

A month ago, Parrino—an attorney who has served as a trustee alongside Vice President Hale since 2010 but was unseated in the most recent election—filed a petition with the state Department of Education demanding Hale’s removal. That entails a hearing process in Albany that would chew up district resources. 

Mega-project to redo Nassau’s Hub would see “trolly-style” car down East Second Street in Mineola

Mineola doesn’t fancy itself as a San Francisco treat, but if the $360 million Nassau Hub plan comes to fruition, residents could see a trolly-style-like tram rolling down East Second Street. Funding for the trolley would likely be funded by the federal government, according to village officials.

 

Nassau County spent a $5.1 million federal grant on the county/Federal Transit Authority-led feasibility study analyzing the practical nature of a transportation service through Mineola, as part of the Nassau Hub plan. One end of the plan would be the Mineola Train Station, with the Hempstead Bus and Rail Station being the other.

Late Goal Leads Mineola Past Syosset

Brianna O’Brien’s tie-breaking goal with a minute remaining propelled the GU14 Mineola Mustangs to a thrilling 3-2 win over a skillful Syosset team on June 1. With the score knotted at two, Mineola’s Natalia Cotto raced to a loose ball ahead of the Syosset goalkeeper and poked the ball loose to the onrushing O’Brien, who calmly drove the ball into the goal.
