Members of the Nassau County Leg-islature unanimously adopted a resolu-tion that grants up to ten days leave tocounty employees who are volunteerfirefighters or work in other volunteeremergency service organizations assist-ing in the World Trade Center rescueand recovery mission.

The measure, which was approved ina bipartisan show of support during areconvened meeting on September 13,directs all Nassau County departmentand agency heads "to refrain fromcharging county employees with anyaccumulated leave entitlements wheresuch county employees serve as volun-teer f irefighters or as volunteers inother duly constituted emergency ser-vice organizations" and are assisting inthe WTC effort.

Legislator David Denenberg (D-Mer-rick) said on behalf of the Democratic

majority. "When you have" a' ruidonaltragedy such as this, it is imperat ivethat all indiv iduals who volunteer inany emergency capacity assist in theeffort. We depend on our volunteers tocome to the aid of others. With that inmind, it would be unfa i r to penalizethem monetarily for their participationin the relief effort. We should do every-thing necessary to encourage their senseof volunteerism."

The resolution, which was signed ItyCounty Executive Thomas Gulotta fol-lowing the meeting, would not detractfrom any rights afforded employees inany collective bargaining agreementbetween a bargaining u n i t of whichthey are a member and the County ofNassau. It shall be subject to eachDepar tment or Agency's m i n i m u mstaffing requirements and not exceedten working days.

"What can I do?" Our students.notonly asked this question but respondedpositively as they began to come togetherin different ways to help our communityand-others.

The Dodd Junior High School FootballTeam showed their support for the vic-tims of the World Trade Center tragedy.They filled a truck with bottles of waterand Gatorade, which were donated toFreeport's police and firefighters whoassisted in the clean up in New YorkCity. Coach Dave Gordon was proud ofthe team's efforts.

A donation of $1,101 was give'n bystaff and s tudents at Freeport HighSchool to the American Red Cross forthe World Trade Center victims. LolitaBeathea, Student Congress Advisor,would like to give special thanks to

all of their free time collecting donations.Candice Toval, Ashleigh Staton andKimberly Strough also worked on thisworthwhile program. The girls collecteddonations during their lunch hours andthe names of those who gave can be seenon the lobby columns.

Freeporters make a differenceTo The Leader:

Just a letter to let you know how nor-mal, every day Freeport citizens respond-ed to our nation's most terrible tragedy., My daughter, Randi, and I had beenplanning a garage sale for many months.We had been collecting, storing, cleaningout closets and generally everything wasin place. Randi's living room was filledwith black leaf bags, boxes and parapher-nalia too numerous to mention.

Then came September 1 1 and all thehorrible events of that day and the follow-ing days. Who had the heart to do any-thing, let alone have a garage sale? All wewanted to do was sit paralyzed in front ofthe T.V. However, we did have mountainsof "stuff in Randi's living room that hadto be taken care of.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in myhead. Let's donate all'the proceeds fromour efforts to the Newsday Disaster ReliefFund. Now we had a purpose, a renewed

enthusiasm.Saturday, September 15, dawned bright

and beautiful. We started to bring thingsoutside about 7 a.m. The early birds start-ed arriving. We put up a sign stating ourpurpose. Obviously, everyone was veryreceptive. Things started going fast andfurious. My nine and a half-year-oldgrandson, Jordan, came up with the ideaon his own, to sell his toys and games. Hemade $30 that he donated to his schoolthat is having a fundraiser. By noon,everything that was anything was gone.We had to close at 3 instead of 4 p.m.because there was literally nothing left.

Even though the events of September11 will never leave us, it gave us a tremen-dous feeling of satisfaction to write out acheck for $810. We were very thankfulthat we could do something positive andbe of some help.

Search for a silver liningAs the dark clouds of despair afflict many people on

the south shore in the wake of the deadly destructionof the Twin Towers, one, might wish to search for asilver lining.

Of course, no silver linings can ever equal the horri-ble loss of life this area has suffered. But this tragedyhas brought out the best in people on Long Island andthroughout America.

We have begun to realize how many heroes liveamong us on our quiet suburban streets: Firefighterswho raced up the stairs of burning buildings to savelives while multitudes of people were fleeing down-stairs to safety. Police and emergency medical workerswho also rushed into harm's way. They helped enabletens of thousands of people to escape a real-life "Tow-ering Inferno" before hundreds of them perished in it.

Other heroes are the rescue workers and volunteerswho have spent grueling long hours of backbreakingwork sifting through the rubble in search of any sur-vivors and for bodies that might help families find clo-sure and peace.

Still others are the countless people, young and old,here and around the nation who have collected anddonated relief supplies and still much-needed money.There are truly many "Angels Among "Us," as the songfrom the group Alabama tells us, and that has rarelybeen so clear.

Long Island and the nation have experienced anamazing rebirth of national pride on a scale not seen indecades. Flags are flying out of stores all over thecountry, and they can't keep up with demand. OldGlory is displayed everywhere. A television preachernoted that some people "used to burn the flag, andnow they bear it."

The tragedy has created national unity and a com-mon sense of purpose rivaling that of the World War IIera more than half a century ago.

A Long Islander visiting Massachusetts last weekendsaw flags everywhere and heard people asking howthey can help the relief effort and aid the victims' fam-ilies.

Many Americans have acquired a new or greaterappreciation of people and places they used to take forgranted. People used to say, "We can always go there"or "We can always visit them." They're not so sureanymore. •

JUST A REMINDER OF THE GOODTHINGS that our local volunteerfire department does. Recentlythe Freeport Fire Department'sDrill Team, "Dead End Kids" par-ticipated in the 10th Annual Char-ity Drill to raise funds for theYoung Autism Program. Over 30volunteer fire departments par-ticipated and raised over$28,000 for the cause. Theoverall winner of the event wasthe New Hyde Park Fire Depart-ment with Freeport placingfourth. At a time when ourvisions of firefighters are oftheir heroic efforts we salutethe volunteers and thank themfor being such an integral partof our community.

NEW NORMAL Little by little,activities have resumed although lifecan hardly be said to be normal. Thereis a new normal that seems to be inplace with people t ry ing to be opti-mistic while recognizing a pall of sor-row and depression that hangs overeveryone.

Last week I went to a reception forBaldwin artist Daniel Pollera. Back in1996, 1 had interviewed Mr. Pollera,who had assisted artist Frances NorrisStre i l , the creator of the m u r a l ofFrecport that hangs in the recreatiorrcenter.

Mr. Pollera, who had'studied art inhigh school, was renewing his interestin pa in t ing . At that t ime, he wasfocusing on various seascapes, partic-ularly the bay houses in the Freeporl-Baldwin area.

Several weeks ago, when my hus-band and I had spent a few days on

Cape Cod, we took the ferry over toMartha's Vineyard. As we strolledth rough an art shop in VineyardHaven, I stopped suddenly. "I knowhim, I interviewed him," I told myhusband , who then inspected thepainting I was pointing to.

Upon my return, I opened my mailto discover an inv i ta t ion to attend areception at Saks Fifth Avenue wherethe works of Mr. Pollera would be fea-tured. It read, "Bring the Hamptons toGarden City" and Mr. Pollera's worksdid just that.

Many of his paintings are of pris-tine, architecturally pure cedar shakehomes, with interesting angles, severalwith clean white Adirondack chairs,most with a view of water. I rememberMr. Pollera tell ing me how intriguedhe was by water and the constantlyshifting shadows and light.

Among the artwork shown was a

limited edition giclee artist proof ofthe pa in t ing "Morning Sail." Dan'swife Nancy, who was an aide at Mead-ow School in Baldwin, told me thatwhen former principal Tom Hodgewas asked by staff what gift he wantedupon his retirement, he responded, "aDan Pollera painting." It was "Morn-ing Sail" that they purchased for him.

The evening reception was a delightand I agreed with Nancy that "he'scome a long way." Dan's Papers, theweekly paper of the Hamptons, was aco-sponsor of the event. Mr. Pollerahas painted four covers for the news-paper, whose covers are renowned.According to Nancy, however, theSeptember 21 edition, with her hus-band's p a i n t i n g on the cover, wasstopped midway when the terroristincident occurred and was replaced forthe rest of the run by a cover that fea-tured an American flag.

* * *We attended the monthly meeting of

the Council of Chambers of Com-merce and were impressed by all thatthe various Chambers in each commu-n i t y are doing in response to theWorld Trade Center a t tack. Somechambers are spearheading a commu-nity response; others are cooperatingwith projects that are being coordinat-ed by other community groups.

We urge our readers to rememberthe many local businesses who arealways invo lved in the welfare oftheir communi ty . The t r ickle-downeconomic impact of the terrorist inci-dent can be expected to affect smallbusinesses. We also echo the advice ofcouncil president Dave McDonough,who urged members to be aware andvigi lant but not to succumb to inap-propriate prejudicial assumptions orcomments.

Baldwin Chamber makes plansby Joan Delaney

The Baldwin Chamber of Commerceheld its September meeting recently, atSonny's Canal House Restaurant, but itwas hardly business as usual.

Business people greeted each othermore heartily than usual with expres-sions of concern relative to the possibiltyof personal links to casualties from theterrorist attack. Then there was quiet asChamber members observed a momentof silence.

At one point in the meeting, it wasnoted that the Chamber's corner at Sun-rise and Grand Avenues had been dam-aged by workers repaving the LIRRparking area. Tom Owens, who, alongwith his wife Lisa, worked for over ayear securing permits and permissions toinstall water at the site and landscape thearea, spoke calmly, "You know, beforelast week I would have been upset. Youknow what, we'll fix it. It doesn't mat-ter."

Meanwhile, the Chamber optimistical-

ly went about preparing for upcomingevents. The annual 5 K Race and Chil-dren's Fun Run is scheduled for Satur-day, October 27. Those interested in par-ticpating may send their money to theBaldwin Chamber of Commerce at P.O.Box 813, Baldwin, New York 11510 orregister online at www.Active.com. Fur-ther information is on the Chamber'swebsite, www.baldwin.org.

The cost is $ 15 for pre-registered adultrunners or $18 on the day of the race.The cost for pre-registered youngstersparticipating in the Fun Run is $5, or $6on the day itself. Every child participat-ing in the Fun Run will receive a pump-kin and medal. There will be prizes foradults (male and female) in a wide vari-ety of age categories. Refreshments willbe served and each adult participant willreceive a tee shirt.

The Chamber is also making prepar-tions for its annual Holiday Celebration,which will take place at the LIRR park-ing area on Saturday, December 1. Atthat event, the community Christmas tree

FHS Class of '41 celebrates 60It was a b i t te rsweet weekend in

mid-September as the Freeport HighSchool Class of '41 celebrated theirs ix t ie th reunion at the Ocean SandsBeach Club in Myrtle Beach, SouthCarolina. After a gala dinner on Mon-day n ight , w i th memories of "old"Freeport, Jones Beach, grandchildrenand World \Var II, the grads woke upon Tuesday morning prepared to takeoff to most parts of the United States.

These hopes were dashed when newsof the World Trade Center broke andleft most marooned in South Carolina,turning a two-day party into six daysof sadness. It was not until Friday thatall departed either by car, bus orwagon train to their home states. "Amost unforgettable week. . .," said aguest. A resolution was adopted todonate al l ava i l ab l e f u n d s to theWorld Trade Center Relief Fund.

Village hears complaints, parking, power..... RELIGIOUS CALENDAR Sponsored By

by Jim ColdingVillage trustees fielded complaints at Mon-

day's meeting about the possible sale of alarge portion of Parking Field No. 3 and plansto lease part of tlie Power Plant 2 site.

Robert DiPolito, owner of Trius ElectrieCo., on Newton Boulevard, near the inler-seetion of Henry Street, raised objections tothe Village's negotiations with Paul ConteCadillac to purchase the field, and askedwhy the sale was not put up for bids.

Mr. DiPolito also complained that accessto his and other adjoining businesses fromSunrise Highway would be severely cur-tailed, and up to 20 parking spaces used byemployees of those businesses would beeliminated.

But Village Attorney Harrison Edwardsreminded Mr. DiPolilo that the proposal hasbeen under negotiation for nearly six yearsand that Conic had approached the Villagewith the idea, but no decision has beenmade to sell the property to the car dealer-ship for additional parking and no contracthas been signed.

j Deputy Mayor Renaire Frierson-Davis,presiding over the meeting in the absence of;Mayor William Glacken who was away at aconference, said the law does not require the'village to accept bids for the property.; Mr. DiPolilo said he made attempts tocontact the trustees to. voice his objections,but was "left in the dark."

Mr. Edwards recalled two meetings he

and other neighboring business owners hadattended to discuss the issue at which Mr.DiPolito made his opposition known.

Stewart Lilker expressed concern as towhy Freepoit doesn't sell the property for ause that would produce higher tax revenueand that he intended "to look into this." Heand Ms. Frierson-Davis engaged in a sharpdiscussion on (he issue for several minutesand asked trustees to "reconsider this deal."

Power plant activist Vincent Greco spokein opposition to the trustees' decision attheir September 24 meeting to lease part ofthe Power Plant 2 site to another utility tobuild two generators to produce additionalelectricity.

He said such a facility would increasepollution levels. "It shows very little consid-eration for the environment and for thewaterfront," Mr. Greco said. He has forsome time been involved with protests byFreeport and Merrick residents opposed tothe operation of Power Plant 2 with its cur-rent diesel emissions.

Mr. Lilker also spoke about two Freedomof Information requests he has filed thathave not been answered in the required live-day period.

Michael Raab complained of theacoustics in the meeting room, about thedeteriorating conditions and lack of upkeepof sidewalks along portions of Sunrise High-way, and about a "vagrancy problem" out-side Dunkin Donuts near the train station.

FFD accepts relief for future generations from CanadiansIn this time of grief for the Freeport

community and the firefighters who arestill missing in the World Trade Centerattack, came a gesture of kindness. A handextended some 3,000 miles away from theDistrict of Langford, Victoria, BritishColumbia, Canada.

Langford Mayor Stewart Young, accom-panied by Fire Chief Robert G. Beckett,and Staff Sergeant Bruce Brown of theRoyal Canadian Mounted Police, contactedMayor Bill Glacken and Ex-Fire Chief andExeuctive Director Ray Maquire in a letterrepresenting their community to extendcondolences and offer help. They wereinterested in finding a comnunity similar totheir own to present a check for $20,000.The money was collected from residents ofthe District of Langford to "assistance thesurviving dependents" of the missing firefighters' families.

Mayor Young said that he was so hon-ored to be welcomed to Freeport. Therewas a strong sense of comraderie andrespect. The ceremony included thepledge of allegiance after the color guardtook their places, flags raised high. Execu-tive Director MaGuire spoke of each indi-vidual missing firefighter. Each with theirown history and roots in Freeport. Manywith several generations of firefighters intheir family. The familys were present, buttears streamed from more faces than justtheirs. The tremendous sadness washelped a little that evening not only by theCanadian visitors but also because of themany uniformed police and firefighters inattendance and the residents, with theirchildren who came to support and showtheir appreciation for those who gave theirlives to help others. Now it was someonestur. to help them indirectly through possi-ble Scholarships for their children.

Mayor Glacken thanked Mayor Youngand the residents of Langford for theirgenerosity. "It is during times of greattragedy that we have the opportunity tosee the true courage and spirit of our fel-low human beings. The people of Lang-ford reached out to show their compassionfor the victims of this disaster. Their kind-ness offers us hope and renews our faith inthe future of the human race."

"We chose Freeport as the recipient ofthis donation," explained Mayor Young,"because our municipality is similar toFreeport in several respects." Langford isalso a waterfront community, which hasan Emergency Planning division, similarto Freeport's Emergency ManagementTeam. The two municipalities expect toestablish a "sister" community relation-ship in order to shn-'-j information andexperiences concert. 0 economic growth,waterfront'development and emergencyresponse efforts.

Freeport Fire Department ExecutiveDirector Ray Maguire,:spoke of eachmissing firefighter and their families whowere in attendance. He said that themoney could be used to set up scholar-ships for the children and hoped that this

extension of caring would help softlen thehorrific blows that comes with losing aloved one. *

The visiting firefighters were given atour of Freeport earlier in the day. Duringthe presentation of the check, Mayor

Young also presented plagues and gifts toMayor Glacken and several others. Inturn, Fire Chief Paul Russer presented theCanadians Freeport Fire Department hats,which they put On.

For a brief moment, that evening,

Freeport felt like a small town. Residentsstood side by side with the purpose oflending support. After the ceremony,everyone was invited to enjoy coffee anddessert, generously donated and served byCafe by the Sea's owner and her sister.
