Karen Nielsen Karen Nielsen

VOTE for Karen Nielsen, 2012 Cold Spring Harbor Fire District Commissioner if you want:
Antiquated Fire/Rescue equipment
Poor training
Poor response times
A dilapidated headquarters building

As 2011 Board of Fire Commissioners Chair Person, Ms. Nielsen has taken multiple illegal actions to have her way with the fire district. Ask to see district monthly meeting minutes. Oh wait... there aren't any. Come visit a monthly district meeting and witness the abuse of authority, given by Ms. Nielsen. Oh wait... they are constantly cancelled by Commissioner Nielsen so she does not have to answer for her actions.

For a safer fire district, vote NO for the re-election of Commissioner Karen Nielsen.

Now that the psychotic Karen Nielsen is gone, the volunteer members, employees, and residents have to contend with that little ###, Bruce Hafner. Someone's got to send is stupid ### back to California. Why does California have the most lawyers and New Jersey the most toxic waste dumps? . . . New Jersey had first choice!

Good luck Eagle Dock Association. Karen Nielsen will try to take over the board as she has done with the Equine Center at Caumsett State Park and the Cold Spring Harbor Fire Disrtrict. She finds it necassary to have control and power. She is the, "New Adolf Hitler." Beware of the pshychotic ### and her evil ways.

Goodbye Karen Nielsen. Cold Spring Harbor will be a safer community without your corrupt hands behind the wheel of the board of fire commissioner's. I was appalled at you bizarre behavior the night of the district elections. Many residents were able to witness how demented you really are. You are a sick woman and you should seek professional help. I was proud to vote against you. I, and many others will continue to vote against you in any of your endeavors involving Cold Spring Harbor. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Spring Harbor Fire District money if she is able to close down the fire house. First of all, neighboring fire districts do not want to take on more area then they already have. Second of all, if this insane plan was to go through, it would take alot longer for fire/rescue personel to respond to the emergency. Ms. Nielsen would not be saving the district any money at all. WE ALL have to pay fire/ambulance taxes. Due to our recent economy, volunteers are getting scarce. Most people would rather be working and making money. Unless Karen Nielsen can pull an ambulance and a firetruck out of her ### when my family or property is in danger, I would vote to keep her out of the district office. Vote NO to Karen Nielsen. The welfare of your property and family could be in jeopardy.

Karen Nielsen does not know the difference between a fire truck and a toaster oven. The Chiefs and other fire commissioner's are not allowed to discuss or give input to district matters. Ms. Nielsen (Chair person) is under the assumption she has total control of the Fire District. He goal is to shut down the fire house. She does not play well with others and is a cancer to the fire district. As a cancer, she will be removed. The Cold Spring Harbor Fire District will continue to operate as it has for over 160 years. Short live the ###!

You have a 4 year old ladder truck. That is not antiquated. And your Chair was at the Coliseum show looking at new equipment for you. Hafner and O'Brien did not go to that show. Poor training is your Chief's problem - not the commissioner. Your department is pitiful because of your chief's office. How can you blame poor response times on one commissioner -- that is the volunteers' problem with not making it to calls on times. You have volunteers who purposely delay going to the firehouse so they can get pension credit but not have to go on the emergency call. That isn't her problem - it is the Chief's problem. The board in 2007 hired an EMT to cover the calls during the day because of your volunteers not being available. Response times sucked in 2006 and 2007. Your firehouse has a nice new exterior and new cupola... and none of you liked the interior plans that she proposed two years ago. She even had a new kitchen partially donated, but you ingrates just hate having a female in charge, so the interior renovations were put on hold rather than go with her ideas. Seems to me your minutes are all available by law as are all fire department minutes as well, yet from what I heard, your fire department has refused to deliver its minutes to the district. And as for abuse of authority, she is just one of five commishes and it takes a vote of three, so you either are a malicious sob or need to be educated. She can't do anything in that firehouse by herself, not even schedule a meeting without 2 other commissioners in agreement. You need to clean up your disrespect first, and then maybe your department will be something the residents want to join and support. We have our problems in Syosset, but our chiefs handle it and we don't put up with your type of bs.

Karen Nielsen Dishonest Fire Commissioner

Your post was very well written and factual, I would have left off the last two sentences. I know it's difficult but try not to sink to her level. She really has no idea what she has done to the men and women of the Cold Spring Harbor VOLUNTEER Fire Department and more importantly the residents of Cold Spring Harbor fire district. Since Ms. Karen Nielsen has been on the board taxes have risen 35%, and morale has never been lower with the membership. UNTIL NOW! The community is very lucky to have men and women in their community that give up literally hours at a time very often, these people are some finest I know. We are brothers and sisters bonded together for life by a common cause. We never ask when, who where or why. We just come when anyone calls never asking what's in it for me. She has wakened a sleeping giant, we will not standby and watch her try to destroy a wonderful group of dedicated processionals. We have been here for 150 years and will be here long after she is gone.

I have been a member for a very long time and I'm ashamed by the unprofessional conduct and disrespect displayed at the board meetings by Ms. Nielsen. If this were a corporate environment she would have been removed from the board. The men and women of the Cold spring harbor VOLUNTEER Fire department are all dedicated professionals, YOUR NEIGHBORS who give up hours of their time and come when you call never asking why.

In my opinion she has not acted in the best interests of the Cold Spring Harbor fire district and residents of the community.

This is almost comical if it wasn't so sad for the people she hurt. I married into this family but soon realised her brother was as sick as she. I divorced myself from the most dysfunctional family I'd ever known shortly after our marriage. Karen represented him in the divorce. It is not a time I care to recall. The brother set people up then blackmailed them. He sought revenge for sport. The father was a pilot for Eastern Airlines. Big Deal - right? But everyone had to know he was in charge. The family did not call him dad, they called him Captain Nielsen.
Karen was the most miserable person I'd ever met. Everyone had to tip toe around her, constantly trying to keep the monstrous bully from exploding so as to avoid her wrath. It seems she was like the community wicked witch. All these years later she never grew up, only honed the skill of annihilation. I am sorry for the lovely community and the surrounding towns that she surely sullied with her arrogance and penchant for destruction. I don't know if she ever married, but I pity the poor soul who ever tried to love her. She is unlovable. She saw kindness as a weakness she could exploit. Everyone should stay as far away from these creepy people as possible, they destroy peoples lives for fun.

Your fire commissioners appear to cause a lot of problems there in Cold Spring Harbor. Don't your volunteer members and residents take a part in who goes into that office?

It really doesn't matter who is the Chairman on that board. That bald headed ###, Bruce Hafner, is just another example of how a group of people can ruin the lives of hard working people. This friggin [censored] took away the health insurance of retired employees, and wants to eliminate the health insurance for the employees who are working now. This little ### should burn in hell. Up yours Bruce Hafner!

Karen Nielsen has tortured the people at the Caumsett State Park equine facility, the members, employees, and the residents of the Cold Spring Harbor Fire District, and now she has moved on to the Eagle Dock Association in Cold Spring Harbor. What is it with this mixed up ###?
