If jurors forgot their juror summons they were able to have it reprinted on site. There is a large jury holding room and a jury lounge off to the side. The lounge was less crowded so I waited there most of the time. The speaker system was set up so you could hear the announcements from either space. Jurors were repeatedly thanked by the people making the announcements and the informational videos for taking time out of their busy schedule to serve. It was nice to feel appreciated. About 30 minutes after arrival time juror ballots and information cards were collected. If your ballot was pulled your name would be announced and you would report to a juror room. There they take attendance and jurors would fill out questionnaires if required by the judge. Then the jurors would be escorted to the courtroom where the juror selection process would take place. Then selection starts with jurors who wish to be excused for scheduling issues such as travel during the trial period or other reasons for not being able to serve. After that 14 jurors (12 main and 2 alternate) are chosen and questioned by the attorneys. Then the jurors are chosen from the 14. If necessary the process repeats with another round. Jurors not chosen needed to report back to the holding area. Back at the holding area jurors would wait until released. Jurors were released for lunch from 12:30pm to 2:00pm. The day ends at 5pm unless released earlier. Before being released jurors received a letter as a proof of service. The juror selection process seemed long and tedious. Not sure if it can be streamlined somehow. Upon returning to the holding area after lunch it was not clear that the jury pool was already released (probably before lunch when I was away during juror selection). I ended up waiting around for 45 minutes before finding someone to ask and getting my proof of service. Posting signs in the juror holding area or text/email notifications would solve this. Interestingly there was a mobile mammography unit parked outside of the building. You could get a mammogram if you were insured, had a referral from your doctor and didn't have a mammogram in the last year. It was a good way to multitask when waiting around in the holding area if it was a need. As for food and snacks there was a cafe downstairs that I didn't visit. There were signs to get a free coffee by signing up at a link revealed with a QR code.

Let's take a poll: Would you like the US Mail to be privatized rather than run by the government?…read more Let me help you think through this. The Post Office in Mineola looks old and tired, with a rather depressing appearance that can be quite off-putting. The Postal brick building has an old traditional apperance which fits well in the town. Recently, I have been having issues when it comes to holding mail and forwarding services. The service from government-employed postal workers can also be inconsistent; sometimes good, sometimes not so much. However, the service for ordinary mail packaging was good today. On the other hand, if the mail service were privatized, prices might increase, but the quality of service could improve significantly. For example, I often use UPS stores, which are privately owned, and their service is consistently excellent. However, changing the current system would require an act of Congress. There are substantial legal and political obstacles to privatizing the Postal Service, which makes such a transition complex and challenging.

There are ladies rooms on the first & second floors; I didn't have any problems with them when I've been. I've mostly been here for housing court cases and that process was also fairly straightforward. The court itself is definitely "a-okay". It's not dingy and filthy like some of the courts but it's not a brand new state of the art design like Richmond County either.

They really seem like they love helping you. Oh, I think NCPD is closed on Fridays. It's better to check the times before dropping by.

Drucker, also noted, Nassau County Clerk Maureen O'Connell + NCPD 2nd & 8th Precincts Police Departments... Presented this family fair event at two locations-Syosset/Woodbury Community Park from 6-8 on Tuesday August 5th and at Bethpage High School 10 Cherry Avenue, Bethpage at 6:30pm -8:30pm. Both events had Live Music. In Syosset by 106 North and in Bethpage by Tom Chupka & Friends. The Syosset Park- event had various giveaways, treats and a variety of things to see and do there, including cotton Candy giveaways from Carnival Parties. At Cobs Bread Bakery booth yummy snacks were given out as well. I met Deputy Commissioner Jeffrey Sattali from the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management -OEM- I got a tour of their mobile van. Inside were multiple band radios for Emergency Management. Why a mobile unit? For big events as the Air Show at Jones Beach there are literally thousands of people, so the unit can be moved on location for possible needs. Giveaways here were, a CERT first aid kit (good in a car) and an infrared thermometer for the forehead to take temperature. There were various Military and Fire Department vehicles on display.(see pix) with charming, knowledgeable men explaining what they were and how they were used and yes women- one of whom I saw in an Army jeep. Party House in Woodbury is now the place to get party supplies, SPCA was there giving handouts on how to prepare before a disaster and with 2 working dogs (who love to be pet) , and there was a wonderful GS Police Officer dog on duty as well. A kids Bicycle raffle for a helmet along with bicycle safety were at one booth , A great sign done by the Interns was also on display, as were wehearyouli.org a nonprofit organization supporting families of children deaf or hard of-hearing, NY Literacy Project, and some businesses as Forging Fit with Personal Trainer Tommy DeChiaro, Rallye at rallye.com and Jersey Mikes team from their Hicksville location . A nice local event and something to look for next year.
