Lawrence

Tammy Roz and Aroni Parnes, both members of Lawrence’s Park Commission, are on the ballot unopposed. Longtime Trustee Michael Fragin is term limited and Trustee Jeff Landy, who served as deputy mayor, stepped down.

Parnes, 57, has lived in Lawrence for over 23 years. He’s been on the Park Commission for over 10 years. He states that he’s running because he wants to offer a lot more to the neighborhood.

“I’ve been asked a few times to run and I didn’t want to run against certain people that were friends of mine or neighbors,” he said. “I felt that this was a good opportunity for me to help the village and move up into being a trustee.”

Parnes thinks civic involvement is important.

“You got to give back to the community,” he said. “I’ve always been active in the community and I was blessed with the way I was brought up. I’m very happy with the community and this is the thing I believe that I could do to help and give back for what they’ve given to me.”

If elected, Parnes aims to be transparent with neighbors on whatever issue they may have.

Roz, 47, a community member for 25 years, has made Lawrence her home after growing up in the Belle Harbor section of Queens.

“I love the neighborhood and I want to give back because I feel the neighborhood and the community has been so good to me,” she said.

Roz is a local dentist with a private practice in Woodmere since 2002. Many of her patients talk about the issues and Roz said she has listened, and discussed ways they could help the neighborhood for current and future families.

“What I’d like to do as a village trustee is listen to people regarding all different aspects of the neighborhood, parks, homes, highways, roads, anything we could do to make it better,” she said. “As a park commissioner, we were limited to just for the club. I want to be able to do even more and really listen to what people want.”

Voting at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, 101 Causeway in Lawrence, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Atlantic Beach

Nathan Etrog, 77, is running for a two-year term as trustee. In April, he was appointed to fill retiring trustee Andy Rubin’s position.

A lifelong lifeguard, Etrog began working as one in Atlantic Beach in 1965. He has served as village park commissioner and chairman since 1976 and previously served as a village trustee from 1988 to 1992.

If elected, he is committed to ensuring the protection of the ocean and its surrounding area, and being an advocate for drowning prevention.

“Maintaining the beach is probably one of our most important resources,” he said. “The whole issue with plastics in the ocean and pollution. People are really not very careful and that is something I’m very committed to protecting the ocean to protecting the shoreline.”

Etrog has also been a member of the Atlantic Beach Rescue Squad for 23 years and has been captain of the water rescue team for over 12 years.

First appointed in the winter of 2020 and officially elected in June 2021, Patricia Beaumont is running for re-election for a seat to remain as a trustee.

Beaumont, a special education teacher in the Rockville Centre school district for 29 years, found a home in Atlantic Beach in 2012.

She would like to see more community events. If re-elected, Beaumont hopes to be an advocate for those who enjoy yearlong events in the Village.

“We have the beach in the summer, which is amazing,” she said. “I felt that we bring resources to the community. 24-hour beach access, road safety because we have beach clubs and I lobbied for speed bumps. Now we have junior lifeguards to the children, bike safety courses, concerts on the beach and things that bring the community out of their yard.”

As trustee, Beaumont said she is most proud about addressing the awareness for speed bumps and 24-hour beach access.

Other events she has organized are Beach Clean-Ups, movie days, food drives, holiday events and others.
