by Jim GoldingSeeking ways to trim expenses and

save on costs in the proposed 2003-04budget in anticipation of the loss of mil-lions in state aid, the Freeport SchoolsFinance/Budget Advisory Committeeoffered a list of recommendations at theBoard of Trustees April 9 meeting.

Committee spokeswoman Pat Lewisoffered the following suggested recom-mendations:

• Cut by 25 percent all conference,travel and consultation fees at theadministrative, instructional and boardlevels.

• Look into phasing out community

workers position, due to the hiring ofcertified bilingual social workers.

• Set a minimum threshold of 20 stu-dents for beginning elective classes;maintain a 15-student m i n i m u m toretain the course.

• No additional department chairshired until the administrative structureof the secondary schools has been re-evaluated, since the assistant principals'roles include staff evaluation and super-vision of curriculum.

• Reevaluate district guidance coun-selors' roles and redeploy them wherethey would be better used to focus ongraduating students in four years.

Rites of SpringThis week our Jewish readers celebrate Passover,

God's rescue of the Jews from Egypt. Kitchens havebeen thoroughly cleaned in preparation for cooking themeal through which their history is taught.

Meanwhile, our Christian readers have been observ-ing Lent, preparing for Resurrection Sunday throughgood deeds, fasting, prayer and study.

One religion teacher gave the children in her classplants to care for. "Think of the plant as a symbol ofyour soul," she told them. "Give it light and water.Remove the dead leaves that are like the parts of youthat you do not like so that the others will be strongerand more balanced."

One of those plants won a first prize recently in theFederated Garden Clubs Show at Hofstra University.But more importantly the children learned a lesson thatwill stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Both Passover and Easter are times when families gettogether, and those who are away are missed more thanever.

Easter is also a time for decorating graves with beau-tiful flowers, celebrating the promise of another, betterlife after this one, for us and for family members whoseemed to be with us only yesterday.

For both Passover and Easter, time seems to stand stillfor a while. We concentrate on what is eternal.

The Jewish and Christian faiths share so much,including what Christians call the Old Testament of theBible. And many Christian teachings from the NewTestament are also common to Judaism and other reli-gions.

"Do unto others as you would have them do untoyou." That is the way to a better life, not only in the nextworld but in this one.r Congratulations, Joan! ^

by Joan Delaney

THE "ME" REPORT ..... Very few peo-ple still have in their possession a copyof the "ME" report. The "ME" standsfor Milburn Excellence and the explana-tion of the title includes the sentence"Milburn excellence begins with me."

It is appropriate to remember thisreport now that- Baldwin's smallest ele-mentary school is celebrating its 50thbirthday because that report reflects onesmall piece of the school's interestinghistory.

Milburn School opened in February of1953 and originally served as a K-7 ele-mentary school. In the late 1970s andearly 1980s, the Baldwin communitywas divided and inflamed because ofan issue which the schooldistrict euphemistically called"Reorganization." What it involved wasthe closing of schools and sale of prop-erty prompted by an assortment of phe-nomenon.In the first place, enrollments had dra-matically declined. The community,

then as now, was suffering from short-falls of state aid revenue. Clearly it wasdifficult for central office administrationto staff its many elementary schools,particularly those one track schools likeMilburn School, which had only oneclass at each grade level. While assign-ing classroom teachers wasn't a prob-lem, staffing various supporting services(gym, music, art, and special education)was an ongoing headache. It was alsonot cost effective since so many admin-istrative functions still had to take placewhether or not the school was large orsmall.

The result of this reorganizationresulted in the sale of Coolidge Schooland Prospect School, both one trackschools, as well as the old BaldwinJunior High School to developers.Harbor Elementary School became thenew district offices. But Milburn Schoolremained.

Milburn was saved for a very simplereason - real estate. At first the BaldwinPublic Library, interested in expanding,looked into the space. It would have

MILBURN SCHOOL celebrates 50 years.

been ideal except, so the story goes, thefootings would not hold the weight of allthose books.

Developers were sought but it quicklybecame clear that if the property weresold for homes, then overcrowding inthe remaining nearby neighborhoodschools would occur. Despite the factthat at least one board member was ada-ment that Baldwin needed only the fourlargest elementary schools, it wasn't fea-sible to close Milburn.

But at subsequent board meetings,various innuendos were consistentlyexpressed implying that one trackschools were inferior. These commentsprompted "The ME Report."

PTA members who had attended yearsof board meetings and reorganizationmeetings, were incensed. Milburn PTA,throughout it all, had stayed objective,sponsoring informational meetings butnot taking a position on whether or notthe school should remain open. Once itbecame clear that Milburn wouldn'tclose, the PTA was committed to study-ing whether some, all, or none of theissues that had been debated were in facttrue.

The first person informed about theME committee was John O'Connor, theschool's longtime tenured principal. Heheard out the ladies, smiled, and gavehis blessing. Committee chairpeoplethen approached the teachers' represen-tative. The focus of the committee wasexplained - what was intended and whatwas not. Quickly the teachers were onboard.

Formal letters were sent to JamesSpirakis, Director of Pupil Services andJohn Fitzsimmons, Principal of theremaining junior high school, requestinga meeting and specific information. Theresults of standardized test scores andcomparisons with other elementaryschools in the district were asked of Mr.

Spirakis. Mr. Fit/.simmons providedinformation concerning the students'placement, achievements and adjust-ment in the larger secondary school.Another committee met with Milburnteachers asking them for their honestassessment of working in a small school.

The completed report was presentedto the entire FI'A and copies given toevery Milburn teacher. Reports weresent to district administrators and toeach board member.

It was clear that there were no statis-tics to support claims that education wasinferior at Milburn School. In fact manyof the statistics showed that childrenfrom this small school, in some respects,achieved better than those in otherschools. The ladies discovered that theopinions of some of the most knowl-edgeable administrators and boardmembers had been significantly inf lu-enced and swayed by personal opinionand assumptions rather than objectiveinformation.

The gauntlet was thrown. No longercould public criticism be leveled with-out challenge. If there were inadequa-cies, whether similar to or different fromother schools, then it was the responsi-bili ty of the board to make sure theywere corrected. Delivery of service, thereport noted, must be equal, if not nec-essarily identical, in all seven elemen-tary schools.

PTA ladies, at that lime mostly slay-at-home moms, had scored an impres-sive victory. They had been objectiveduring crisis, acted professionally, accu-mulated information, and were pro-active wi th the results. Pride in MilburnSchool among children, staff and fami-lies skyrocketed. Today as M i l b u r nSchool celebrates its 50th birthday, thatpride remains strong. Happy Birthday,Milburn!

Cancellations, curriculum discussed by Baldwin Boardby Joan Delaney

Several parents attended the AprilBaldwin Board of Education meeting,concerned about the cancellation of anApril lacrosse trip to Maryland. SchoolBoard President James Scannellexpressed the administrative decision,which the board supports, to suspendtrips "outside the New York metropoli-tan area" during these "difficult anduncertain times." A trip by chorus andband students to Williamsburg was sim-ilarly cancelled.

Mr. Scannell noted that the decisionreflected actions by many other LongIsland districts. Another decision not toallow lacrosse students to attend a sub-stituted overnight event in SuffolkCounty was being investigated bySuperintendent Kathy Weiss, who wasunaware of why that request was denied.

One parent questioned "the message"the district was sending students sayingthat he" did not believe that there is anincreased terrorist threat." He added, "Idon't think it's a valid rationale," noting"I need something more concrete than

perception."Mr. Scannell differentiated between

the decision of individual parents toallow certain activities and that of a

school district. "To send a group of stu-dents on a trip under the auspices of the

District Attorney Denis Dillonannounced the arrest of two formerFrecport residents, including a formerinvestigator for the New York City TransitAuthority, for committing perjury duringa lawsuit brought by one of the defendantsagainst the Metropolitan Suburban MTABus Authority (MTA).

Eddie D. Monroe, Jr., 44, who current-ly lives in Absecon, New Jersey, andEarlwin T. Warren, 37, currently of Stone

Mountain, Georgia, are each charged withone count of Perjury in the First Degree, aClass D Felony punishable by up to 7years in prison. Both men falsely sworethat Mr. Warren, an alleged witness to a1998 accident involving Mr. Monroe, hadbeen a stranger to Mr. Monroe prior to theaccident, when in fact the two had beenacquaintances at least since 1997, whenMr. Monroe introduced Mr. Warren to anattorney for legal advice in an unrelated

More FreeportHospital memories

To The Leader:I Ux> am a long lime resident of Freeport;

both my children were born there 1942-1951. It did bring back memories of thosetimes.

It was a lovely hospital and such friend-ly nurses and doctors.

1 was sad to see it being destroyed. I hadhoped it would be used as a historic placefor all to remember as the first place to starta new life.

Thank you, Patricia Yatsyla, for helpingme too to remember. I have lived onArcher Street since 1936.

Marie La Terza

Response to LJIker

To The Leader:I agree with Stewart Lilker's comments in

The Leader's letters of March 13 whole-heartedly. The situation is similar to thewar with Iraq in that unless some pressureis put upon the gangs and violence occur-

ing in-our village, all is doomed. Look atother neighborhoods where police enforce-ment was impotent. They became slumsand neighborhoods where decent and long-standing residents were forced to moveelsewhere. These neighborhoods willnever again be a desirable place to reside.

I have lived in this village for 40 years,ran a business, raised my children withoutany fears of going anywhere in the village,including shopping in the Main StreetMall. Now you have to be aware of whereyou are and never be in some areas aftersunset. How can we live like this?

I cannot comment on the school situa-tion which I lack knowledge of because ofnot being involvetftmt I understand that isalso a mess. Police programs such asAdopt a Cop are not the solution. This is aresponsibility that must be undertaken byparents and siblings. The young are fol-lowing their peers and the older role mod-els in their families and their behavior can-not change without removing the leadersof the pack.

The police efforts may seem admirablebut they are spitting into the wind.

case.According to Mr. Dillon, "On February

26, 2002, Monroe and Warren both testi-fied in Nassau County Supreme Courtbefore Justice Ute Wolff Lally, in a'law-suit brought by Monroe against the MTAinvolving a traffic, accident that occurredon November I I , 1998. Monroe wasasked if he had known Warren, who pur-ported to be a witness to the accident.Monroe repeatedly denied, under oath,that he and Warren had been acquaintedprior to the accident. Subsequently,Warren repeatedly testified under oaththat he had never met Monroe prior to theaccident.

"However, on June 9, 2000, during ahearing before Nassau County SupremeCourt Justice F. Dana Winslow in a med-ical malpractice action, Warren was askedby an attorney for the Office of General

Counsel of the New York City TransitAuthority if it was correct that 'before thiscase began you and I met.' 'Yes,' Warrenreplied.

Looking for regional solutions to energy problemsBy Laura Schofer

"We need regional solutions toregional problems," Nassau CountyLegislator David Denenberg told resi-dents at a meeting of the Nassau CountyLegislature. Mr. Denenberg organizedan energy hearing, under the auspices ofthe Planning, Development andEnvironment Committee, at theLegislature on April 10. "We are grow-ing by leaps and bounds every year. Arewe going to be able to meet those needs[for energy]? If so we must look at allthe alternatives," said Mr. Deneneberg."That's why we are here today."

The day-long hearing examined themyraid energy issues facing Long Islandresidents. The Long Island PowerAuthority (LIPA) and Keysparr dis-cussed their role as providers of energy.Environmental concerns were addressedby the Sustainable Energy Alliance andthe Neighborhood Network. FreeportElectric discussed the role of a munici-pal ultility and the impact of deregula-tion on their ability to service customers.TransEnergie spoke about off-islandtransmission and Bluewater Wind spokeabout the creation of an offshore windfarm. Business concerns were addressedby the Nassau Suffolk Building andConstruction Trades Council. Finally,residents had the opportunity to com-ment and add their opinions on what ourenergy future should include.

LIPA Chairman Richard Kessel andDave Manning,. Vice President ofKeyspan, told the committee thatdemand for energy is growing. Bothmen voiced their concern that withoutadditional resources, "We could be verytight," said Chairman Kessel, referringto the 5900 megawatts that was used lastsummer. "We could see an increase of200 megawatts [this summer] if we havea heat wave."

Mr. Kessel said that more energy cancome from several sources includingconservation measures and renewableenergy sources, new generation in theform of power plants and cables built toaccess off-island transmission. He pro-posed that LIPA and Nassau Countyenter into a joint venture to bring in acompany that would build a cable fromNew Jersey to Long Island's southshore. At present there are two develop-ers, Neptune Transmission Systems andTransEnergieUS, in negotiation withLIPA. "We could issue the RFP [Requestfor Proposal] together and select [abuilder] together," said Mr. Kessel. "Wecould negotiate so that they pay theCounty revenue. LIPA would buy thepower and offer electric discounts to theCounty." Mr. Kessel added, "We know.the feelings about Cedar Creek and wewill not enter into an agreement if theproposed site is Cedar Creek." He saidLIPA will upgrade their substation toaccomodate the cable which could be inplace sometime in 2007. Mr. Denenbergwants to include civic leaders in Mr.Kessel's proposal.

TransEnergie provided testimony atthe hearing, explaining how they builtthe cross sound cable which could pro-vide energy from Connecticut. The pro-posed south shore cable would use thesame technology. He said that ahydraulic jet plow was used to lay theunderwater cable six to 15 feet deep, "sothere is no environmental damage," hesaid.

But the Connecticut legislature hasnot permitted the cahle to operate and"we wi l l go to the Department ofEnergy," said Mr. Kessel, "We need theenergy."

Dave Manning of Keyspan added thatthey also need a pipeline fromConnecticut to provide additional natu-ral gas, which is the cleanest, fossil fuelto hum. Mr. Manning explained thatKeyspan owns most of the power plantson Long Island which are very old. "Wehaven't burned coal here in Nassau sincethe 1970s.[They burn gas and low sulfuroil]. Our challenge is the choice of fuel.Natural, gas is the best choice," he said.

Environmentalists warned against thereliance on fossil fuels and the long termimpacts to the environment, health andthe economy. Kathleen Whitley of theSustainable Energy Alliance talkedabout the great potential for solar ener-gy, the need to repower old plants andthe potential of wind energy. Beth Fiteniof the Neighborhood Network said NOxand sulfur dixiode emissions are up."We believe local government can playan important role. We are asking thatlocal government work with us toreduce [consumption] by 25 percent infive years. We would like to form a taskforce with government," said Ms. Fileni.

LIPA has proposed to build an off-shore wind farm 3 to 6 miles off theshores of Jones Beach and one of thosepotential developers, Bluewater Wind, •spoke about the potential for the wind-

mills to "capture the lion's share of theGovernor's requirement of 25 percent ofrenewables. Birds are not an issue," saidPeter Mandelstam, President. He addedthat the wind mills could offer long-termfixed price reliablity and would have atwenty year life span. He proposes touse General Electric 3.6 megawatt tur-bines. Each of the 100 windmills wouldbe of monopile design and would be 230feet high from sea level. Each blad"would be 165 feet wide. "This will be atourist attraction," said Mr. Mandelstam.

Hub Bianco, Superintendent ofFreeport Electric, spoke about theunique challenges facing this muncipalu l t i l i ty owned by the residents ofFreeport. There are three municipalutili t ies on Long Island. Mr. Biancoalso spoke about the Village's ability togenerate electricity when • powerbecomes too expensive to buy fromother sources. The village is capable ofgenerating 44.5 megawatts of capacity.Peak demand in the village is about 60megawatts. To meet this demand,Freeport operates two power plants.One of them, Power Plant 2, has beendecommissioned and wil l be replacedwith a new natural gas facility whichwill run on diesel oil as a back up fuel.David Manning of Keyspan said "it isnot necesary to have a back-up [fuel] ifyou are a firm customer." He explainedthat for many commercial operations,like a power plant, it is cheaper to haveinterruptible service. Mr.Bianco also spoke about delays in get-

ting the new plant built. He explainedthat the permitting process has been "aunique process. We didn't have an airpermit and couldn't start construction.We still don't have it, probably in thensxt couple of weeks and then we canaward the bids [for the other powerplant to be built at the site]." It is pro-posed that the new facility will be upand running "sometime by the end ofthe year," said Mr. Bianco.

During the public comment section,Vince Greco of Freeport said that noone spoke of the "human side of theissue. We don't need a power plant.How come no one has talked aboutflooding and the fuel that is stored

there. What about noise? The low fre-quency vibrations causes cracks in thefoundations [of homes]. What wi l l bethe total effect to the neighborhood?This should have no impact on theneighborhood. 1 don't want to hearabout allowable limits."

Stewart Lilker echoed Mr. Greco'sconcerns about flooding in the area."Remember the hurricane of 1938? Itwas a category three storm." Mr. Lilkerexplained that this storm had peak gustsof 186 miles per hour. "These stacks aresupposed to withstand 160 miles an hour[winds]. It will topple down and a halfmillion gallons of jet fuel will he float-ing around," he said.

Village to seek 24.2 percenthike in electric rates

by Jim Golding

Freeporters may see a 24.2 percentincrease in their electric bills over thenext two years beginning April 1, 2004.if the Public Utilities Commissionapproves a rate increase the villageplans to file this month.

If approved, the higher rate is expect-ed to bring in an additional $5.3 millionannually, a consultant for the ElectricDepartment told trustees at their meet-ing Monday. The average residentialrate will increase from 7.9 cents perkilowatt hour to 10.3 cents per kilowatthour, which is still about 30 percent lessthan LIPA customers pay.

The hike would be phased,in over atwo-year period, with the first year,sincrease to be about 11.4 percent.

Among the reasons for the increasecited by village officials included"inflationary pressures," labor costs,additional contributions to the retire-ment system and "increased deprecia-tion associated with the new powerplant."

Village officials have not awarded acontract for a new electric generatingplant to be built at the site of the exist-ing facility, which uses diesel engines, asource of numerous complaints fromFreeport and Merrick residents.

Hubert Bianco, superintendent of theElectric Department, said the increasewas because his department has "run inthe red the last two years."

He said the previous rate increase"could have been 15 percent, butinstead we had asked 7 percent."

Mr. Bianco also said that ratepayerswould be able to see some reduction.intheir rates through revenues generatedwhen the new power plant is built,through additional sales of power toother communities and by reducing therates if the electric department shows aprofit.

Mayor William F. Glacken said that,"when the new power plant is built, thenthe existing diesel generators "will beshut down" and be replaced with cleangas-powered generators that "will meetfederal and state environmental require-ments."

Stewart Lilker spoke adamantlyagainst the 'proposed rate increase andthe continued use of the diesel genera-tors. "Those diesels were supposed tobe shut down," he said.

He also protested the plan to locatethe future generation plant at the pres-ent power plant site and argued that,instead, it should be located nearSunrise Highway .because of floodingdanger in the event of a major hurri-cane.

"Who pays for it if it gets washedaway in a hurricane." Mr. Lilker asked.

Another concern he expressed wasthe effect on rates and power to the vil-lage if the PUC denies the requestedrate hike, and if a permit for the powerplant is denied.

"There's no reason for it to bedenied," replied Mayor Glacken.

He later stated that the two genera-tors would continue producing power"regardless if the rest of the world goesto hell in a handbasket."

Speaking in favor of the proposedrate increase, Alan Jay .said the possibil-ity of a power shortage could affectvital users such as hospitals in l i fe anddeath situations and other critical needs.

Board members also approved theCommunity Development Block GrantProgram beginning September I for$755,000. The breakdown is a follows:Real estate acquisition. $50,000; publicfacilities and infrastructure, $75,000;Guy Lornbardo streetscape project,$50,000; tree planting and removal,$30,000; business development,$10,000; commercial rehabili tation,$224,000; residential rehabil i tat ion,$175,000; and public service. $141,00(1The list of organizations receiving pub-lic service funds was not provided toThe Leader in time for this week'sdeadline.

In other business, the board approvedthe final cost of $206.615 of a tree-planting contract with TrugreenLandcare of Melville, a $510.000 con-tract to FD Contracting Corp. ofMassapequa for the Wilson Place roadimprovement project, and the settle-ment of nearly $867,000 in tax cerlio-

school district is a different level of con-sent."

In other business, the board heard thefive year cyclical review of the K-12science curriculum presented byMilburn School Principal DeborahMartin, junior high school chairpersonLaraine Gegerson, and senior highschool chairperson Barbara Reiss. The1997 report of only a few pages wascontrasted with the four inch binderreport for this year, reflecting increasingmandates and the complexity of curricu-lum now required of students and schooldistricts.

Similar to reviews presented by otheracademic disciplines, the report includesa comparison of Baldwin curriculum

. with state standards and required cur-riculum and looks for gaps in scope andsequence. On-going teacher trainingwas recommended to reflect changingcurriculum, particularly the increasinguse of technology. The report recom-mends greater articulation among levelswith a focus on intensifying the teachingof the scientific process and techniquesat the fifth grade as a preparation for themiddle school. Increased AdvancedPlacement opportunities were recom-mended although Ms. Reiss noted thatin most colleges science majors are notallowed to opt out of introductory cours-es although non-science majors do tendto use-the AP credits to opt out of thescience requirement.

Also recommended for both the mid-dle school and high school were com-munity partnerships for research oppor-tunities. The middle school will link stu-dents with resources at Molloy Collegeand Mercy Medical Center and the highschool will investigate patterning itsresearch studies after a SUNY AuthenticScience Research Program. The need

and desire for a more extensive infusionof technology into the science curricu-lum was described.

In other business, the board discussedproposed changes in policies. A policyon suicide attempts will now includeprocedures regarding suicide ideation aswell.

After a year of committee study, apolicy on attendance has been proposed.At one time grades could be affected byexcessive absences and then variouscourt rulings said that such penaltieswere illegal. Now, new interpretationsallow credit to be affected based onabsences under the category of classparticipation. Also differentiated wereexcused and unexcused absences withprocedures for make-up opportunitiesfor excused absences.
