"TRICK OR A FEW TREATSBOY, WHAT A PARTY THIS IS.

Recently, the Long Island Quilters Society came to theFreeport Recreation Center to donate 50 unique, hand-made quilts to the Ronald McDonald House of LongIsland. The quilts are part of a long-standing tradition theRonald McDonald House features in the resident roomswhen families return from a day at their child's hospitalbedside. Since 1986, the 18-room house has served morethan 7,500 families and as room demand increases, theHouse plans an extended facility. The quilts play an impor-tant role and offer a feeling of comfort and home.

These quilts were crafted for three hours a week for eightmonths by women from all over Long Island. The 50 quiltsare destined for the 24 new bedrooms that will soonbecome a part of the expanded Ronald McDonald facility.In addition, last Spring the quitters presented 100 cribquilts as "going away" gifts for the families.

LONG ISLAND QUILTERS ASSOCIATION members who participated in thequilt-making project: From left are Carol Deyette, Cynthia Field, TerryVerity, Cheryl Blam, Nancy Roth, Ellie Mahoney, Lorraine Dunlevy, MarilynSedlack, Barbara Dannay and Anna Spatola.

Unused day workers site continues to spark controversyby Jim Golding

The controversy over the CatholicCharities' hir ing site for "day laborers"continues to hang around the necks ofFreeport trustees like an albatross sincethey first announced the project inMarch.

In June trustees approved $20,000 forthe Diocese of Rockvi l le CentreCatholic Charities to main ta in a trailer althe municipal parking lot on BenningtonAvenue.

As they have done at village boardmeetings for the past several months, agroup of a do/.en 'or more residentsshowed up to protest not only theVillage's participation in the program,but also the very existence of the siteand the broader issue of illegal immi-grants.

There was Gabriel Ra/./ano, who, ashe has done al previous meetings, com-plained that his questions were not beinganswered and lhal the Village clerk didnot return his phone calls. Among hiscomplaints is why the stale employmentoffice on North Main Street was notselected, rather than the lot near HomeDepot.

•Mayor Will iam F. Glacken counteredby saying his questions covered "thesame old ground" and that lie was "notgoing to re-plow old ground" on theissue.

Peter Morris called the day laborers'site a "ghost town" and that the Dunkin 'Donuts parking lot it was intended toreplace continued to be ful l of job seek-ers. He asked what the village's contin-gency plan is. as it appears to him theprogram is failing.

The Mayor replied that- i t was "prema-

ture to say it won't work. These thingstake time."

Mr. Norris -disagreed and asked theMayor to provide examples. "Nothing isworking across the country," Mr. Norriscomplained about the national problemof dealing with i l legal immigra t ion ."Our borders are falling.down."

Meanwhile, several individuals at the'back of the conference room held upplacards throughout the .meetingexpressing ihcir anger. At one point, onewoman paraded around the conferenceroom ' holding a sign that read,"Crookport: Illegal Hir ing Site."

Two speakers protested stale AllorneyGeneral Eliol Spilzer's recent action tofile suit against Freeport "for unconsti-tu t iona l and discriminatory housing,inspections." The lawsuit, filed October4, after an 18-month invest igat ion,alleges that village housing inspectorsviolated cons t i tu t iona l "search andsei/.ure: rules and anti-discriminationlaws against Latino residents in con-duct ing housing code inspections."

Alan Jay read a "proclamation" erili-ci/.ing Mr. Spil/.er's action. "Spit/er can-not spit in the face of Freeporl," Mr. Jayexclaimed, and recommended that any-one caught voting for the attorney gen-eral "be exiled to Merrick."

Georgia Priinly, as she had done al thetruslees' October 21 meeting, vigorous-ly defended the building department's

County Legislator Kevan Abrahamswill be holding "town hall" meetingsregarding the budget and other con-

cerns on Thursday, November 7, from7-9 p.m. at the Freeport Memorial

practices in conducting the inspectionsand expressed her "total'support."

To her question about when the law-suit will go to trial. Mayor Glackenreplied that it may never get to trial' 'because of several pre-trial motions.

In other issues raised at Monday'smeeting, Stewart Lilker questioned theZoning Board's meeting procedures,including meeting privately behind theconference room "with no sign indicat-ing it's in session." and not keepingrecords or minutes of executive ses-sions. "That is wrong and illegal." hesaid. "If you let this continue, you arefurther derelict in your duties."

Mayor Glacken said state law onlyrequires that zoning boards report whenthey meet, where and what decision wastaken at their meeting. Apparently thereis no requirement to keep minutes.

Referring to a current si tuationi n v o l v i n g a business on WoodcleftAvenue. Mr. Lilker also questioned (heprocedures for having an item placed onthe board's calendar. „

approved a request for a $50,000advance from a village account al FleetBank for the purchase of properly at 417Woodcleft Avenue: and approved a$ 15.500 payment to Castle Industries forsidewalk repairs.

The board voted to advertise for bidsfor improvements and equipment forFire Department Hose Company No. 2and Emergency Rescue Company.

11/11,the veteran's hour

The eleventh hour of theeleventh day of the eleventhmonth of the year is the tradi-tional time to pause andremember our veterans, thosewho served in the ArmedForces in defense of the LThitedStates.

Now as the countrystands on the brink of war withIraq; the sacrifices made byveterans of past wars are moreon people's minds. Each veter-an had to give up years of workor education to serve. Time

with family and friends, important moments like anuncle's funeral or a son's first steps, were missed.

And then there is the worrying that families andfriends had to go through, following the news of thewar, or even in peacetime. Often their worst fears wererealized, and the veteran returned badly injured or evenin a flag-draped coffin.

It takes a great .deal for a situation to become so polar-ized that war must result. Generally, there are many dif-ferent points of view on any given issue.

He was not talking about war, but as former VicePresident Walter Mondale was quoted as saying onElection Day, when he was the Democratic Senatorialcandidate replacing the late Senator Paul Wellstone,"Whenever you see the Democratic Party united, youare living in a very historic moment."

This country does not lightly go to war, and that is asit should be. All other options must be exhausted first,because in a democracy, an entire people must be con-vinced. And when it comes to war, no one will beuntouched. .

On this Veterans Day, please attend a local ceremony,visit a veterans' hospital, e-mail or call someone youknow who is a veteran or is serving in the ArmedForces, and make your appreciation known.

And pray for the peace for which they have fought.

This year's Holiday Fair at the Freeport UnitedMethodist Church, 46 Pine.Street, has a new look!The Fair, which will feature home-baked goods,crafts of all kinds and gift items, will be held ontwo.days this yean On Friday, November 8, thehours are 2-5:30 p.m. and will include a VictorianTea with sandwiches and desserts for $4.

GEARING UP.-.Now that campaignsand elections are over, people inBaldwin who are interested in the issueof redistricting, also called reapportion-ment, are once again urging residents towrite letters.

As a result of population shifts reflect-ed in the 2000 census, it became neces-sary for government, at all levels, toreconfigure the geographic boundariesof election districts so that each districtcontains approximately the same num-ber of residents. _

Last year, Baldwinites, who organizeda committee concerning this issue,expressed the opinion that it is better if acommunity is represented by only oneelected official within a particular gov-ernmental jurisdiction. They believe thata politician will pay more attention to an.area in which there are more voters toworry about than will an official whoonly represents a tiny portion of a com-munity.

Within the jurisdiction of the Town ofHempstead, the only level of govern-ment where alt of Baldwin is represent-ed by one legislator, that definitelyseems to be the case. During his twoyears of representing Baldwin, residentshave seen more of Councilman TonySantino than they ever saw of all theirprevious at-large councilmeh put togeth-er, and his hands-on manner of holdingcommunity meetings and responding toconstituents has been a welcomechange. Many residents believe that hisobvious interest in Baldwin is a directresult of .the large number of potentialvotes the entire community representsfor him.

Last year the community'sRedistricting or ReapportionmentCommittee .organized a letter-writingcampaign to encourage a state commit-tee studying the issue to reconfigurecongressional and state senatorial andassembly districts in a way that wouldnot divide the community. While thosejurisdictions did have their lines adjust-ed, Baldwin still wound up within twocongressional districts, three assembly

districts and two state senatorial districts- the same number as before, simplywith a few minor variations in bound-aries.

Undiscouraged, these same commit-tee people are hoping for success withanother governmental entity • and arenow directing their attention to theupcoming redistricting which willimpact Nassau County's legislative dis-tricts.

Presently Baldwin is carved amongthree county legislative districts. NorthBaldwin is part of the first election dis-trict which is now represented by newlyelected Kevan Abrahams.

Central Baldwin, part of the fifth dis-trict, is represented by Jos_eph Scannell,and Baldwin Harbor, part of the fourthdistrict, is represented by MichaelZapson. For-each of them, their piece ofBaldwin is only a small portion of theirentire district.

The issue of redistricting, however, isnot without advocates with opposingopinions. There are some who subscribeto the concept of "the more the merrier,"and believe that the more legislatorsBaldwin has representing it, the moreclout the community will have.

That, generally, has not been myexperience after years of attending com-munity events. It seems that legislatorswithin each of the various governmentaljurisidictions -tend to hand off primaryresponsibility for a district among them-selves. This is understandable particu-larly when it comes to attending com-munity events. None of them can beeverywhere and it certainly appears thatthey informally agree on who will repre-sent a specific governmental jurisdictionat community events. They also seem toallot.'responsibility to one specific legis-lator for keeping tabs on a communityand taking the lead relative to positionson important issues.

When it comes to the Nassau CountyLegislature, the primary responsibiltyseems to have been given to JosephScannell, since he lives in Baldwin.Some years ago, however, when

Baldwinites first elected Democrats torepresent all three districts, both Mr.Scannell and Mr. Zapson were present ata PTA Legislative Forum. At that time,commenting on the situation involvingthe long-delayed move of the FirstPolice Precinct to Grand Avenue,Legislator Zapson commented thatBaldwin had three built-in votes in sup-port of the issue. He portrayed Baldwin'srepresentation by three county legisla-tors as a definite plus.

In the case of the Nassau CountyLegislature, it is perhaps Baldwin's for-tune to presently have three Democraticlegislators at a time when the balance ofpower favors the Democrats. Havingnoted that, however, it is unclear, exceptin the matter of the number of votes,how that trio of representation has par-ticularly benefitted the community. Forthe most part, when it comes to countygovernment, the last years of the Gulottaadministration and this first year of the

Suozzi administration have been markedby so many fiscal woes and and so muchgridlock between political parties thatlittle has been done by anyone, for any-one. For the moment, therefore, thequestion of which configuration is betterfor Baldwin is essentially moot. There'sno money for anyone, anywhere.

Those interested in expressing theiropinion where it can be given properconsideration are urged to write toBarbara Patton, who is Co-Chairpersonof the bi-partisan commission that willbe studying the issue. The commissionwill hold hearings and then make rec-ommendations to the County legislature.While the commission's work is adviso-ry, certainly its recommendations shouldcarry a lot of weight.

Letters to Ms. Patton may be sent to:Theodore Roosevelt Executive and

Legislative Building,1550 Franklin Ave., Room 207,Mineola, N.Y. 11501.

Baldwinites provide input at School District meeting60

£. by Joan Delaney

Parents provided comments, con-cerns, recommendations and requests atthe Baldwin School District's two-hourCommunity Input Meeting on October30, at which there was no set agenda.

After a sparkling, preview of the highschool's forthcoming musical "Maine"and tributes by students'and PTA offi-.cers to . the board during BoardRecognition Week, residents outlinednew and long-slanding issues for admin-istrative and board consideration'.

Security at the high school and theneed for increased security at the middleschool were high among parents' con-cerns. "In the aftermath of the situationin Roosevelt, are we speaking to stu-dents and adding security?" one motherquestioned.

Superintendent Kathy Weiss acknowl-edged that "No school is without gangs,at least at the periphery." She added,"Our .students have friends inRoosevelt." She described a network ofgang affiliations marked with hand sig-nals and colors, both of which are pro-hibited in the district's school setting."We suspended one student at the highschool last week for using hand signals,"she said. "Our antennae are up."

Several fights and alleged assaults atthe middle school, however, prompted

.'more concern. Referring to "mishaps"and incidents, parents urged more fund-ing for "additional security and warned,"Otherwise we'll have a police forcewatching our children," a reference tothe situation existing now in Roosevelt.

Several parents questioned decliningstandardized test scores, particularly ineighth grade mathematics, and the meth-

ods by which the 'district is addressingthe problem. Referring to the middleschool math department, one parentnoted, "You've 'got new teachers andthey need more support." Another parentwho is a teacher said, "I've seen what'scoming home. I haven't seen anythingreflecting New York State standardizedtests or the philosophy behind the tests."She urged the district to "address thelow scores and create a Curriculum .onthe philosophy behind the tests."

While stil l insisting that the district"will not teach to the tests," Dr. Weissindicated that they are "looking for anew department chairperson." Since themiddle school principal James Brownwas a math teacher, he is "asking that alltests be shown to him first." Dr. Weissnoted that the district added math reme-diation teachers and are insisting thatteachers give tests with a "format simi-lar to the standardized tests and a cur-riculum paralleling the tests." She addedthat there will be a "buddying" of newmath teachers, possibly with high schoolteachers who have already taught theMath A course.

There were concerns about delays bythe Special Education department inprocessing the individualized education-al programs of students, apparentlybecause of a new computer system. Oneparent, whose child was screened by thepre-school special education committeein August and who has not received thepromised paperwork, noted, "I deserveand am owed something in writing. I'mnot getting anywhere on my own." Dr.Waverlyn Peters, Director of PupilServices took the parent's home phonenumber and an immediate response waspromised.

Other comments centered on the hir-ing and f ir ing process with BoardPresident James Scannell again out l in-ing the discussion process the hoard isfollowing.at regular hoard meetings toimprove the system and allow for earlierparent and teacher involvement iirselec-tion committees. He reiterated thatbecause of the legal and moral right- toconfidentiality, parents could not partic-ipate in the firing process. A LenoxSchool parent who participated in thatschool's selection committee remindedthe board of the I I/2 page letter thatgroup wrote outl ining its concerns, onlyto receive a "three to four line letter inreturn."

Mr. Scannell urged residents to attend'hoard meetings to provide input whilehoard member B.A.. Schoen noted thatresidents should also feel free to writeletters which are shared among theboard. Board member Mary Clark askedif the hoard..could send letters to parentswho recently served -on selection com-mittees letting them know that the topic-was under, consideration.. The board has set a timeline with aDecember target dale to adjust (he hir ingprocess in time for the advertising,screening, interviewing, and selection ofthe new Brookside principal. Currentprincipal Jan Wilson was contractedthrough SCOPE to serve as an interimprincipal for one year after the f ir ing ofSheryl McBeth. That decision and themanner in which it was orchestrated

caused intense communi ty reaction.One parent referred to a rumor con-

cerning middle school principal JamesBrown and whether he would he reliiied."We don't want another s i tuat ion l ike atBrookside." she said. Without referringto cr i t ic i sms tha t had been levele-1

against the principal by parents at the.October board meeting. Mr. Scannells imply noted. "We are not current ly in(lie same position." Thai parent, whosedaughter is apparently in s ixth grade,stood up again and staled emphatically."I want her lo see Mr. Brown as princi-pal at graduation." There were murmur-ings in the audience, which included v i r -tua l ly all the district administrators, dur-ing th is exchange of words.

Other parents urged thai Regents prepcourses be resumed and include thosestudents taking exams in January. Dr.Weiss^aid there were study skills tutori-als and extra help classes hut noted thaithe district 's ' a t tempt at prep coursesthree years ago "did not attract (lie slu-dents we wanted lo attend."

Other parents, complained-about Iheagenda schedule at regular monthlymeetings which leaves audience ques-tions ( i l l the end. Mr. Scannell •outlinedthe process, saying thai for issues ofimportance.

BOCES vote to be held soon; "yes" lowers school district costs BJnoo>

Nassau BOCES (the Board ofCooperative Educational Services ofNassau County) has scheduled a county-wide referendum on Tuesday, November19. Voters are being asked to approvethe purchase of a special educationschool building, an administrative cen-ter and relocatable classrooms.

Permission to borrow $14.8 million tofund the administrative facility purchaseis also on the ballot. Under a 30-yearagreement with Nassau County, the pur-chase price for the school will be $10and the relocatables are priced at$379,800 the agency has on hand.

"A .yes vote will result in lower costsfor Nassau County school districts,"explains Dr. Jerry W. Shiveley, Nassau

, BOCES District Superintendent. "Ourfacilities costs are passed along to' thedistricts and owning these structureswill eliminate the need to pay rent on anongoing basis."

A total of 22 polling locations havebeen designated throughout NassauCounty, including one at the Caroline G.Atkinson Elementary School inFreeport. Voting times are from 11 a.m.to 8 p.m. Other polling sites are in CarlePlace, Elmont, Garden City, Glen Cove,Great Neck, Greenvale, Jericho,Levitlown, Long Beach, Manhasset,Massapequa Park, North Bellmore,Oceanside, Oyster Bay, Plainview,Syosset, Valley Stream, Wantagh,Westbury and West Hempstead. Formore information on these locations,call 396-2208 or check www.nassaubo-ces.org.

If the referendum is successful, the

estimated savings for Freeport Schoolsis $16,000 in the first year alone, and$53,000 over the first three years. Thesavings for Baldwin would be $12.000in the first year and $40.000 over thefirst three.

Specifically, residents of NassauCounty will vote on whether NassauBOCES may buy:•The Rosemary Kennedy Center, aNassau BOCES school for children withdevelopmental disabilities located onNorth Jerusalem Road in Wantagh. Thisapproximately 200,000 square footschool building is currently leased fromNassau County. Under the terms of thelease, Nassau BOCES has been payingthe county $252,094 in rent a year - theamount equal to the county's bondedindebtedness for the cost of constructingthe building in the early '70s. NassauBOCES can now buy the building for$10. This option to buy expires onAugust 31, 2003. '•The Nassau BOCES administrativeCenter, located at 71 Clinton Road inGarden City. The agency moved intothis building in May after the East.Meadow School District did not renewthe lease on a former elementary schoolthe agency had been using for officesand meeting rooms. Nassau BOCES iscurrently paying rent and property taxeson this commercial structure. Owning itwould reduce facilities costs by morethan $7 million in the first 10 years.•"Relocatable" classrooms to house out-door education programs and an alterna-tive high school at the Nassau BOCESBrookville Environmental Education

AMERICA'S MILITARY VETERANS!

Veterans Day, November 11, is the time

to say 'thank you' to those who have

worn a military uniform and to those

who today are keeping strong the

unbroken bond of service.

America is a nation at war. Just as

generations before, the men and women

of todays armed forces put their lives

on the line to combat our enemies and

preserve our freedom.

The American Legion's 2.8 million

members share a common bond of

service that transcends generations.

Today, we join all Americans in saluting

our veterans past and present.

A Blue Star Service

Banner in the window of

a home shows a family's

pride in their loved

one serving in the

military — and reminds

others that preserving

America's freedom

demands great sacrifice.

To each and everyone who serves, we say thank you.
