Meet Ameer

I am a proud resident of Bellmore, where I live with my wife Gayle and our three daughters – Sophia, Violet, and Clara – who attend public school in Bellmore. I am the son of an immigrant. My father was born in a refugee camp in Tel Aviv in 1946. He and his family lived in a communal tent in that camp before moving into a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Tel Aviv.

I attended a military high school in Albany, New York, and later attended Johns Hopkins University where I met my wife Gayle.

While at Hopkins, one of my roommates was shot and killed by a gunman on campus. This experience ultimately led me to attend law school at Cornell. My heart was committed to public service, and I accepted a position as a prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office…

Thanks for the help. The item’s below. I’d be happy to mail you a copy, if you give me a mailing address.

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012

Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
