Vows to fight decommission ofold diesels by November 30.

by Laura Schofer

Although progress continues on theturbine generator project at Power Plant2, Freeport Electric continues its fight tokeep the diesels operable beyond theshutdown: date of November 30. TheLeader previously reported that the NewYork State Department of EnvironmentalConservation's (DEC) CommissionerErin Crotty received a recommendationby Administrative Law Judge MollyMcBride on September 29 to permanent-ly shut down the diesel generators atFreeport's Power Plant 2 by November30. The decision came in an administra-tive permit challenge brought by theVillage of Freeport to oppose a new draftair permit requiring shutdown of thediesels.

Freeport, along with the other partiesinvolved in the hearing, had the opportu-nity to submit written comments byOctober 14. The interested partiesinclude the DEC and the New YorkInterest Research Group (NYPRG)along with the Old Lindemere CivicAssociation.

The Village took exception to the rec-ommended decision contending that PP2should not be decommissioned beforethe new LM 6000 turbine is operational.The village believes that it has undertak-en the LM 6000 project specifically toreplace the old diesels and have agreedto the new permit conditions for particu-late and NOx emissions. Officials saythat several different factors have result-ed in delays in the construction of thenew facility and because of those delaysthe decommissioning should be delayedas well.

Arguments presentedIn a copy of the proceedings provided

to the Leader, Judge McBride states that"Past stack tests submitted to the depart-ment indicate that the facility cannotmeet the applicable emission limits andtherefore DEC staff has modified thepermit to establish the only possiblemeans of compliance, decommissioning.DEC staff chose the decommissioningdate after it received a schedule from thevillage indicating that the new facilitywould be operating by that date.Although the permittee has now encoun-tered problems that are delaying the newproject, DEC staff stated that the permit-tee could have avoided these delays andtherefore, it will not extend the time ofoperation for the diesels."

Freeport Electric, in a press releaseissued on October 7, stated that "the bur-

den of proof rests with the .DEC," saidMayor Glacken. "It failed to demon-strate how keeping the diesels operablebut inactive would harm the environ-ment:" ,

But a rebuttal provided to the DEC byNYPIRG and Old Lindnemere CivicAssociation states that "Residents of thearea have suffered for years. Theydeserve the protections afforded by theClean Air Act. Federal emission regula-tions and permitting standards are mini-mum requirements of the permit. In thispermitting action, DEC is not allowed toviolate the mandates of the Clean AirAct, state Environmental ConservationLaw, state and federal regulation and the

nificant financial risks and penalties tothe village ratepayers, even if the dieselsare not actually operated," said HubertBianco, Superintendent of . FreeportElectric in. the October 7 press.release.The Leader was told that there will be animmediate 22 percent increase to ratepayers; an increase on top of the already24% increase ratepayers recentlyreceived. The reason for this has to dowith requirements that Freeport Electricbe able to provide 93% of its peak loadcapacity through on Island generation.At present that peak load is 60megawatts. At present the village is buy-ing five megawatts of power over the 56megawatts of power the village can pro-

State Implementation Plan in order toaddress other concerns, whether they bethe "equities" of a facility being forcedto comply with the federal law aftermore than 30 years of non-compliance;the economic benefits to the village ofviolating the law, or the alleged deleteri-ous enviromental impacts of permanent-ly shutting these diesel units."

Freeport Electric contends ;that theywill continue,t6i voluntarily' restrict' us!e|of 'trie' 'diesel?- jtq -eme'rgehqy; kittiatioris;only and activate1 only if dire,'cted<by 'th4New York Independent System Operator'to meet emergency demands or,condi-tions or to meet emergency conditionsaffecting the Freeport Electric System,as was done during the August 14 black-out.

"Permanent closure of the dieselsbefore replacement capacity of the newturbine generator is completed and incommercial operation will result in sig-

duce.But Judge McBride said in the pro-

ceedings that "While the village arguedagainst the closure of the diesels beforethe new plant is operational, it providedlittle information as to what the ramifi-cation are for the village if it is not ableto supply any electric power for a periodof time. Mr. Bianco testified that the vil-

'• lage would' have to purchase power from• ! qth'er s]oy rcqs 'on 'Long. Island and. pay theI; increased costs<6f|tl)at'pqXe{.' If,'the; yil-, • |aj*e iyvas unable !tb; purchase! power! on1 ' Cong|fstand: it \y<Ju)d h.aye; t6> gc) info ;the

deficiency 'auction and be subject 'to themarket price. It is likely that this wouldmean higher utility rates for the villagecustomers for a period of time. There isnothing in the record to indicate that thevillage could be left without powerbecause of a shutdown of the diesels."

Parties were given another opportuni-ty to respond in reply briefs which were

due on October 29.Turbines arrive

. In the meantime, the first of the twonew'dual-fuel turbine generators to be•installed'at Power Plant 2 was recentlydelivered to the-village by barge. TheGeneral Electric LM-6000 componentswere off-loaded from the barge to flatbedtrucks and delivered to Power Plant 2.The site for the new 47-megawatt tur-bines is being prepared with separateconcrete foundations designed to holdeach of the two 90-ton generators. Thewater piping, electric conduits andcables will be installed next.

Freeport's new generator is expectedto be in operation by Spring of 2004. Thevillage's electric u t i l i ty will own andoperate one of the planned turbines,which will provide up to 37 megawattsof power to village customers and sell 10megawatts of power to LIPA for use byLong Island residents for a guaranteed30 years. The second 47-megawatt gen-erator will be owned and operated by anindependent'developer, Equus Power I",LP, which is in negotiations to provideelectricity to LIPA customers. The sec-ond generator is expected to go online byJune 2004. The village will act as theState Environmental Quality Review(SEQR) Lead Agency. A public hearingwas held on October 22. Notice of thehearing was posted in the EnvironmentalNotice Bulletin and in Newsday onSeptember 25. For information aboutthis hearing contact Christopher Hoganat DEC Headquarters (518) 402-9167.

Village trustees okay $1426for water well project

by Jim Golding

Village t rustees on Mo nil ayapproved two contracts totaling ahoul$ 142.000 for the construction of a newwater well in northwest Free port. A$94.600 contract for electr ical workwas awarded to Process ControlSystems of Holtsvil le and a $47,500contract went ot UTB-UniledTechnology. Inc. of Franklin Squarefor mechanical work. .

The hoard also voted to advertise• for a tax lien sale of real properly forunpaid taxes to he held December 12.

'and to cert i fy a delinquent tax list asof October 31.

During the meeting's public com-ments segment, trustees heard a com-plaint from Frances F'usco about noiseemanating from restaurants along GuyLombardo Avenue near the WoodcleflCanal. She had raised the issue at aprevious board meeting.

Ms. Fusco said the problem has"escalated further" and she had been"harassed and verbally abused" by theowner of one restaurant.

Mayor William F. Glacken andFreeport Police Chief MichaelWoodward said the village does nothave the kind of monitoring equip-ment necessary to get sound levelreadings from the source of the noise."We're doing everything legally per-missible," said Chief Woodward.

But Ms. Fusco indicated she wasnot satisfied with his answer. "A hand-

ful of businesses there have i.iot beenconsiderate of; their'neighbors.". Uhemayoj said,'adding that; Vi|lagb npise;regulations were adequate to deal Will?the problem-, and 'that they applied;'to

- many ' situations throughout the .v\\-.lage.

Kenneth Bagatelle asked when thebudget workshops would take place,to which Mayor Glacken replied thedales would be set at the trustees' nextregular meeting. November 17.

Mr. Bagatelle also inquired ahoulthe village's outstanding bond totals,to which (lie mayor replied. "Itdepends on what categories." He saidFreeporl was at a level of 35 percentof the total capacity of its debt ceil-ing, which excludes bonds for thepower plant and well improvements,which are bolh considered- self-financing. .

Mr. Bagatelle 'also reported some.' property ,owiiers .haye .been piling

leaves onto.the street in front of-fheirresidences, which Mayor Glacken saidis a violation of (he village code.

Alan Jay expressed concern aboutdead crows found in his yard that werefound to carry the West Nile virus, andblamed environmentalists for gellingthe federal government to ban DDT.which he said would have been effec-tive in k i l l ing' the mosquitoes thatcarry the virus.

Trustees adjourned to executive ses-sion following the comments fromaudience members:

A new Veterans Day traditionby John Brieden

National Commander,American Legion

We all know that November 11 is Veterans Day. We know thatVeterans Day pays tribute to men and women who sacrificed forfreedom in the U.S. armed forces. We know that democracy flour-ishes the world over because of the sacrifice of America's veterans.We know that Veterans-Day originates from the 1 Hh hour of the11 th day of the 11 th month in 1918 when World War I ended.

Our nation praises its veterans with a holiday, wjth the construc-tion-of moving memorials,, and with a solemn final tribute: place-ment ,upo.n their coffins of a U.S. Flag. Our state and federal gov'--'ernments set'aside, pristine expanses of hallowed ground in'whichAmerica's veterans rest in eternal peace. Yet, as pro-veteran as theUnited Stales of America is, there are aspects of the relationshipbetween our grateful nation and its veterans that most Americansprobably do not know.

Did you know that since the Berlin Wall was dismantled, signal-ing America's victory in the Cold War, the U.S. armed forces haveexperienced a one-third cut in the active-duty force and a 300 per-cent increase in deployments? The growing mismatch betweendeployments and the total force has resulted in the repeated long-term deployment of National Guard units, precluding them fromperforming homeland-security duties and other functions for whichthe nation's governors might need them.

Did you know that on a given night, about a quarter-million vet-erans are homeless: lacking .both permanent shelter and hope? One-third of adult homeless men and rtearly one-quarter of all homelessadults are veterans. Clearly, programs must be strengthened thatprovide medical, rehabilitative and employment assistance to thosewho served.

Did you know that thousands of Guard and Reserve personnelare counting on the enactment of legislation that will provide themhealth insurance to replace the employer-paid coverage that theirfamilies lost when they were called up for months - in many casesfor more than a year - to fight, the war on terror?

What does all of this mean? It means the time has come to intro-duce a new Veterans Day tradition to the existing one.

Be a part of the Veterans Day commemorative events in yourarea. Take your children, if possible. Your presence says "thank youfor your service" to veterans and to their families. These events area part of our nation's existing annual holiday tradition.

Further, if you appreciate the sacrifices of those who stood, andthose who still stand, in harm's way, then please consider startinganother holiday tradition. This new tradition boils down to two sim-ple civic duties: Save this column until next year's election cam-paign. Insist.the candidates address, indeed embrace1, the policiesthat you know in your heart are right and just.

We know that freedom isn't free. We know that our elected lead-ers in Congress will do the right thing for America's veterans -andwill pass just about any other law - if the American people reallywant it. We know in our hearts that the selfless sacrifice that liber-ates the oppressed and protects our shores deserves to be justlycompensated. We know that our nation owes its veterans a squaredeal, and that this is a cause worthy of the passion and energy of agrateful and free people, not only on Veterans Day but every dayf

HOLIDAY TIME ... Departmentstores have long been decorated andmail-order businesses have already sentout scores of catalogues. Most of us,however, don't really start th inking seri-ously about the holidays u n t i lHalloween is over. Now is the time.

Again, thi.s year"we would like toencourage our readers to include gift-giving to local charities as part of theirfamily's holiday plans.

In recent years, local non-profitgroups have been asked to do more thanever before in assisting the needy. Manyfamilies are f inding it d i f f icul t to makeends meet in a regional economy whosecosts are so high.

There was a t ime when the term"affordable housing" was anathema topoliticians. There was a sense that "if webuild it they wi l l come," and most peo-ple didn't want-"them" to come. Now wehave discovered thai the "they" are ourown children and parents who are find-ing it impossible to secure appropriateaffordable housing. Statistics haveshown that on Long Island, a personwould have to hold five fu l l time mini -mum wage jobs to pay the fair market

rental on a two bedroom apartment andstay w i t h i n (he 30 percent of totalincome that is suggested for housingcosts. The salaries of most beginningprofessionals - teachers, nurses, fire-fighters, police - are not sufficient forthem to pay for a rental apartment' on.their own, much less to purchase!-ahouse. In many families both parentsmust work to make ends meet creatingan impact on schools and other inst i tu-tions which must provide additionalservices.

Too late have we discovered that ourviews concerning affordable housingwere short-sighted and incorrect. Onlyrecently are politicians f inal ly realizingthe importance of building affordablehousing.

But that process is extremely slow andthere are many people who are crushedsimply by the cost of providing shelterfor their families. For most of the needyin our area, the cost of housing is out ofproportion to their incomes. For that rea-son, many non-profit groups, year-round, 'provide food, -second-hand'clothing and I'urnitUre-to.assist .families;.*Still other groups provide meals, and'

just as importantly, a clean, pleasantplace for people, especially the elderly,to eat and socialize. Many people wouldlack basic nutrition without those meals.Now during the Thanksgiving,Chanukkah and Christmas holiday sea-son,'gift-giving has been added to theagenda,of many organizations.

Most Long Islanders are a very chari-table people. Now we should be com-mitted to finding a charity to assistwhose work reflects our interests, con-cerns and priorities. Donations shouldhe sent promptly so these groups canproperly assess the resources they willhave to distribute.

Check out local groups that helpthose in need. The Salvation Army, theSociety of St. Vincent de Paul, out:

reach programs of various religiousin s t i t u t i ons , the Interfa i lh Nutr i t ionNetwork (INN), and programs associ-ated with many civic groups all havereputable records, wi th low adminis-trat ive costs and a high percentage ofdirect aid. ', _ • •. i • • r ' .\ Many (jf.'us in ' the suburbs work Jiard .. to'proVide'for our children who enjoy anabundance of material gifts. Perhaps the

greatest gift we can give our children isto help them be aware of their obligationto be concerned citizens who care forothers. We will have done our job well ifour children become adults who partici-pate in the creation of a just society.

There are some gifts that we can enjoyas individuals. There are others, howev-er, that can only be enjoyed if everyoneenjoys them. Public safety is. for all orfor none; a clean environment is for allor for none; a just society is for all or fornone.

As we go about the hectic pace of hol-iday shopping, we urge our readers to sitdown as a family to discuss and committo some meaningful charitable giving.And we also encourage people, duringthe rest of the year, to be fair-minded asthey express their priorities to electedofficials. It is at the governmental levelthat programs and legislation can beestablished that wi l l level the playingfield and alleviate some of the causes ofpoverty that impact not/only the poorbut our communities'and ourselves.

Baldwin parents pose questionsby Joan Delaney

Parents posed a wide variety of ques-tions at the Baldwin School District'sfirst community input meeting of the2003-4 school year.

Last week's meeting began with a pre-view of the Baldwin High School musi-cal "Joseph and his AmazingTechnicolor Dreamcoat" and was fol-lowed with presentations to the Board ofEducation as part of the district's cele-bration, of School Board RecognitionWeek. The theme of the accolades wasone of thanks to the board for makingschool "a home away from home."Board President James Scannell- notedthat" It is a privilege to be.part of a car-ing team of parents, administration,teachers and students."

Many questions focused on the newelementary level report card which willnow follow the one to four pattern used

by the stale and many neighboring dis-tricts. According to SuperintendentKathy Weiss, the marking system isbased on rubrics which establish stan-dards. As in the slate's standardized test-ing, levels three and four meet or exceedrequired standards with the lower gradesbelow or significantly below standards.

The report card allows teachers tocomment on 10-15 items wi th in cate-gories whereas the previous card onlyprovided information on six to sevenitems.

According to one parent, however,there was confusion on the part of someteachers regarding the new grading sys-tem. Dr.Weiss agreed, noting that theNovember parent/teacher conferenceswill include explanations of the newreport card and then anecdotal com-ments on a child's achievements.

One parent said that the new system

should be explained to the children. "Myson came home and said he got an eight.I told him the highest number was four,hut he said, 'I got a three, a three, and atwo, and that's an eight. But I could havegotten a twelve.' " Dr. Weiss noted,"Well we know he can add."

Several questions centered on over-crowding in some bujldings and the pos-sibility of redistricting. Mr. Scarinaljexplained that school districts "cannotjust change boundaries a l i t t le bit." Henoted,"We monitor the situlion and thequestion has come up from time totime." He added. "There's no provisionin the law lo shift boundaries a l i t t l e bit.If we changed boundaries, each andevery school would have to reflect thediversity of the district as a whole. Andredislricling would be a huge undertak-ing and cause huge turmoil."

In further discussion on class size and

space needs, both Dr. Weiss and Mr.Scannell indicated that the attendanceincrease is less than one percent andgrowing slower, than previously. Mr.Scannell said. "We bui l t the new sixthgrade wing, presuming the worst casescenario" in terms of populationincrease.

Responding to why (he Hast ingsStreet District Office was not returned asan instructional facility. Board memberMary 'Jo O'Hagan' described the historyof the change of that building to a dis-trict office. She said that the site nolonger meets new stale guidelines, not-ing that the fields are now; inadequate forschool use. In addition lo adminis t ra t iveoffices, the building also contains a widevariety of maintenance shops as well asa gym and offices used by communitygroups such as the PAL and Auxi l i a ry

by Nancy Bukauskas

The Frist Precinct held its second pub-lic meeting on October 29 at the RoseBoulevard Fire House in Baldwin.Inspector Patrick O'Connor addressed theaudience of residents and elected offi-cials, providing them with an overview ofthe precinct and the various problems" i t ,tackles.

Baldwin is the largest of the commu-nities (hat arc served by the First Precinct.Others include Bellmore, NorthBellmorc, Merrick, North Merrick,' EastMeadow. Roosevelt. Uniondale, SouthHempslcad and a small portion ofWanlagh.

Commanding Officer O'Connor dis-tributed an information packet entitled"Street Gang Awareness," a guide for par-ents and educators thai emphasi/.es apolice-school-coinmunily partnership inl ight ing what he deemed, "an insidiousthreat to our children and to the comuni-ty at large." It includes common reasonsfor joining a gang, indicators of a gangpresence, indicators of gang membership,consequences of gang membership, and,how lo discourage your child from join-ing a gang. A copy can be obtained bycalling the First Precincl Special PatrolsOffice at 573-6 1 50.

Inspector O'Connor discussed theongoing work of the Task Force AgainstGangs, an clement of the CommunityResponse Team. He reported 133 arreststhus far this year, the majority in BaldwinPark, and others al the Baldwin BoatRamp, Cow Meadow Park, Coes NeckPark, and Baldwin High School.

The Inspector reported that robberiesin the First Precinct were down this yearas compared, lo last year. Assaults, how-ever, were up, partially driven by domes-tic violence, he said.

Mr. O'Connor said the number of carsstolen has increased this year, and he fellthis was in direcl proporlion to badweather. He pointed out that in inclementweather people tend to leave their carsrunning while they get ready to leave thehouse, or when Ihey make a quick stop,such as. for coffee. He cautioned, "neverleave a running vehicle unallended!" Healso advised residenls nol lo leave' any-thing of value in their cars. Even itemslike cell phones, if visible Ihrough thewindow of a locked auto, might promplsomeone to.break into Ih'e vehicle.

reported, as were 'burglaries. He addedthat the number of arrests for burglarieswas up considerably.

"If you see anything suspicious, callus." said Mr. O'Connor. "Do not hesitateto call 911." He made the point that 911is for all calls to the police, even non-emergency calls. When reporting some-thing suspicious, he urged i n c l u d i n ginformation that describes the personinvolved, the type of car they used,whether or not weapons were involved,as well as any other information thatcould aid the police when they respond.

A noteworthy program for youthsaged 14 to 20 was outlined by policeofficer Dan Johannessen. The ExplorerProgram, affiliated with the Boy Scouls,introduces girls and boys to differentaspects of law enforcement and provides

them with activities that serve the com-muni ty . Among the special activitiesplanned are a weekend getaway, and par-ticipation in a forensics competition. TheExplorer Program participants meettwice a month, in the evening. For thosewho might be interested in joining, theirnext meeting will be held on November13- at 7:30 p:m. at Baldwin FireDepartment Hose Company No. 3 onBaldwin Avenue. Further information canbe obtained by contacting Officer DanJohannessen at 573-6170.

In an effort to make our roaYls safer,Inspector O'Connor said the precinct isaddressing aggressive driving, speeding,drivers ignoring red lights and stop signs,failures to stop for a school bus. the useof.cell phones while driving, and failureto wear a sealbelt. A plan to reduce thenumber of accidents involved determin-ing the locations where the most acci-dents occur, or where drivers are mostoften violating traffic laws, and puttingofficers in these areas to write summons.He reported that nearly 1.500 summonshave been written in the 122 areas beingstudied. • • ' •

Also outlined was a push to decrease

illegal . drug use in the precinct. Mr.O'Connor said that drug enforcementdetails would periodically target an areaand "sweep" it of drug activity. RecentlyRoosevelt was the location, of such asweep, and many arrests and confisca-tions were made.

Questions from the audience focusedon requests for speed l imit reductionsnear specific schools, and Mr. O'Connorexplained that speed limits were set bythe legislature, not the police department.Legislator Kevan Abrahams offered tolook into requests to lower the speedlimit near the Smith Street School andUlysses Byas School, as well as onNassau Road.

A resident asked whether schoolgrounds were patrolled at night, andInspector O'Connor replied that theywere patrolled on a regular basis, and thatif police were notified about a specificsituation, patrols would be increased.

The next First Precinct public meetingwill be held sometime in January, accord-ing to precinct representatives. Residentswill be notified through their local news-papers and civic associations about thedate, time and location

Most teams wot-k together to learnoffensive and defensive plays,improve their skills, and condition afew weeks in the offseason to preparefor competition. For many schoolsthat is sufficient. Freeport's footballteam has taken (lie concept ol^team-work beyond that level. The goal ofthis year's team members is/to winboth the Nassau and-,Long IslandChampionships. .

To achieve this goal, playersworked out in the weight room andpool all summer. They eat together on

•Friday nights in the school cafeteria.Various people bring an assortment offood and they mentally prepare for thenext game while viewing tapes oftheir opponents. The team enters thefield in line formation! huddle beforethe start of the game, rhythmicallyslap knees before kickoffs, walk indouble line formation to the end /.oneat the completion of each game, kneelin a circle to reflect on the contestwith the coaches, and enjoy a lightmeal (hot dogs and soda or Londonbroil and salad) provided by theSports Boosters Club or parents in theschool cafeteria or on the back steps.Doing these things creates a footballfamily that will go the extra mile fortheir teammates.

Fans see a well-disciplined and fine-tuned defense that does not have asingle super star. Fourteen defensiveplayers made key tackles or assists inSaturday's 49-0 win over theHicksville Comets. Stanley Gutlierezled the team with nine, whileOlugbemi Otulaja and AdamWoodmansee each added five. KyleGreenwood, James Rudolph. MikeMcQueen, Lenox Norville, OmarWalden. Eric Reitmayer, Jet Bates,

Poet at Cedarmere

Cedarmerc, the Roslyn Harbor home ofnineteenth century American poet and1

newspaper editor William CullenBryant, will welcome poet Susan Astoron Sunday, November 9.

Ms. Astor's poetry has appeared innumerous publications, including "ParisRevue." Ms. Aslor will be reading fromher new book. Spider Lies, in counter-point, the poems of Edna St. VincentMillay will also be read.

The program will begin at 2 p.m.Refreshments will be served in theGreat Room.

There is no fee for this program.

Michael Ngernnak, Leslie Jackmanand Bobby Hogan combined for 22tackles. It is a hard-hitting group that "works as a lough unit. They have nothad a touchdown sewed on them allseason.

The offense got off to a quick startwhen Reilmayr scored on a 29-yardpunt return with only 2:23 off theclock. Jackman's sack on the punter-and Freeport's recovery put theoffense right back in business. Twoplays later Randy Mills completed atouchdown pass to Reilmayr foranother TD. Adrian Palazzo was awe-some once again and kicked 7 extrapoints for the Red Devils. Gutliere/intercepted a ball on the 29-yard lineand returned it for a TD; Norville ranthe ball in from the 35-yard line for aTD, Taylor Fason scored on a quarter-back sneak, etc.

The defense held Hicksville to 127yards of total offense. Mills was 4-7which added 114 yards to the RedDevils game and two TDs. Freeport is7-0 on the season and plays Syosseton Saturday.

Victor Rodriguez scored five TDsas the .IV Red Devils football teamdefeated Uniondale 32-6. John Healyscored on a run and Jarrall Pennscored on a completed pass. A 42-0shutout of the Hicksville Cometsproved to he a very lopsided game.

Rodriguez, and Hcaly both scored onruns in the first quarter while AnthonyRodriguez scored on two punt returns.Also scoring for Freeport were

Demetrious Finch and William Porter.The JV. plays with heart. The JVrecord is 5-2.

WE ARE A DIRECT LENDER'

Baldwin parents pose questionsfrom page 5

Police.The cost of retrofitting the building

plus the cost of relocating those facili-ties to another site in the communitywould be excessive. Plus. Mr. Seanneilnoted. "We have not seen the kind ofdramatic growth you are describing."

Another question focused on /.ero tol-erance issues. While there is no districtpolicy with that specific terminology.Dr. Weiss did say that police are calledin certain circumstances. When askedwho is called first, police or parents, shenoted that parents are called first "unlesswe think we need assistance."

Dr. Weiss noted, however, that veryoften parents cannot be reached and thedistrict-won't wait before also calling

. police. Describing the process followed,she said that in the case of weapons, achild is suspended and a superinten-dent's hearing follows. In the case ofdrug dealing, the police are called. Shestressed. "We don't want kids questionedby police without a parent present." butadded. "If the police come with a war-rani, we can't stop them."

Other questions included the perenni-al concern of splitting classes, with Mr.Seannell stressing that fairness requiresthat the district follow the class si/e pol-icy so that all schools are treated in amanner that is "reasonable, consistentand equitable."

Mr. Seannell briefly explained thebackground of an expected $29 millionfacilities bond issue that has been dis-cussed al two previous board meetings.There will be continued discussion'atthe November and December hoardmeetings as well, as several special

meetings' preceding an ant ic ipatedFebruary referendum.

One parent applauded published com-ments of Athletic Director Tom Howardwho said. "The buck slops here." regard-ing the ineligibility of a high schoolfootball player which caused the team tohave to forfeit lour of their previouslywon games.

Other questions focused on (he needfor a crossing guard on Schreiber Place.A parent is gathering signatures for apetition and the district has asked theFirst Precincl to conduct another survey.

A parent questioned why someschools will not allow students inkindergarten, grades one and two towear Halloween costumes. Dr. Weisssaid. "Because of (he religious diversityin the schools, some students would notbe able to attend school if costumeswere worn. We hope you understand therationale."

Regarding gang prevention aware-ness. Dr. Weiss described programs atall three levels which focus on makingcorrect choices and not bullying. Formergang members have spoken al the highschool as well.

In a new initiative, the board will holda public work session on November 5.to discuss and hear presentations on var-ious academic mailers. There will be novoting and no public input. The nextregular meeting is Wednesday.November 12. al 8 p.m. at SleeleSchool.

The high school musical is scheduledfor Thursday. November 20 al 4 p.m.($5) and Friday and Saturday.November 21 and "22. al 8 p.m. ($8).Tickets are on sale during lunchlimc inthe high school commons.

Randy Millsfrom page 7

"He has always been kind of a confi-dent guy. He's gotten belter, but what hehad from beginning was his confi-dence." C'ellen articulates. "His leader-ship quality and confidence - those arethe things he's had from day one. He hasgotten mechanically heller and workedto get himself faster and stronger, butthe qualities that make a good quarter-hack he always had." "He works veryhard (at being a good QB).

Last season Mills and the FreeporlRed Devils were silling atop NassauCounty Conference I. primed for theirthird consecutive trip to the ConferenceI Championship, with a 7-0 record goinginto week 8. For Mills, then a junior, itwas not to be. Freeport dropped theirfinal two games, first falling toFarmingdale 27-7 in week 8. costingthem the # I seed in the playoffs.Despite "MSG Player of the Week " ear-lier during the regular season againstBaldwin, Mills and the Red Devils wereonly able to muster 13 points in a onepoint loss to the decidedly underdogBruins in the Semifinals, ending (heirseason. "They were hard losses on theteam, two back to back, one al the end ofthe season and one in the playoffs, left abad taste in our mouths. Losing thosetwo games last year was not a good feel-ing." Mills mused. He added: "Revengewas on my mind. The experience mademe menially lough, made me stronger,made me work harder.Tested early on. Mills exacted a mod-

icum of revenge against both of lastyear's foes leading Freeport to consecu-tive victories over Baldwin andFarmingdale in back-lo-baek weeks.On September 26. in a 35-0 win against

I he Bruins. Mills completed 6 -11 passesfor 101 yards, and ran for 73 more, scor-ing twice on the ground and hilling on a44-yard air strike.

The following week Freeporl facedthe Farmingdale Dalers. who likethemselves had not given up a point in(wo games. Mills turned in a dynamicperformance, going 11-16 for 296yards and five TDs (4 pass. I rush), asFreeporl dominated their way lo 42-0victory against their perennial r ivals."Those are two of the belter teams in

our conference. We played very well. Iwas actually surprised about how wellwe played. The guys worked very hardin the off-season lo gel lo this point,and nothing they do now will surpriseme."Despile Mills' football triumphs. Mills'athletic future may be as a lacrosse play-er. Mills, en route to making All-Countylacrosse as a junior, had three four goalgames, says lie is looking to playDivision I lacrosse in college, but alsohopes to play football. While at shy ofsix feel he may lack the si/.e that manyDivision I coaches look for. Mills hasreceived inquiries from many upper-echelon schools al all levels.

Mills pays little mind to quantitativevisceral attributes, instead choosing togive credence to the nuances of games-manship: "You have to have Ihe basicsand do (he little things to be a greatquarterback." Says Mills. "A guy is6'5" they may have all the si/e hut thequestion is if they have the heart and themental capacity for the position." Millscertainly has indoctrinated his preceptthroughout Nassau County, citingopposing defenses for empirical evi-dence.

RolaryDay at the United Nations encouragedRolary's 31,(MX) clubs in 166 countries toheller meet humanilar- ;ian needs around theglobe.

"The connectionbetween humanitarianservice and peace isespecially important toconsider today," .saidJonathan Majlyagbe ofNigeria, president ofRolary International."Hunger, poverty andignorance breeddespair,1 anger and fear- the very same emo-tions that fan IheHames of intolerance,conllict^and even war."

Mr. Majlyagbe emphasi/.ed Rolary'smany humanitarian aid and cross-culturaleducation programs and their contribu-tions to peace. In addition to HumanitarianGrants, Ambassadorial Scholars andYouth Exchange, Mr. Majlyagbe high-lighted Rolary Centers for InternationalStudies in peace and conflict resolution.Through Ihe newly created RotaryCenters, 70 scholars from more than 30countries.study annually toward Master'sdegrees related to peace and conflict reso-lution at eight prestigious universitiesaround the world.

Face Pain?If you've been living with face pain, you may be suffering from trigeminal neuralgia.The gamma knife, which is not a knife at all, can help end your suffering.

Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by sudden bursts of extreme pain, usually on one sideof the face. It can be triggered by as little as a light touch, or simple, everyday activitiessuch as talking, eating or brushing your teeth.

The revolutionary gamma knife is a minimally invasive, powerful radiosurgery tool thatpermits neurosurgeons to operate deep within the brain, without cutting and without the

.risk of infection or bleeding. The gamma knife;is extremely safe and highly effective.Best of all, many patients can even leave the hospital the same day as their treatment.

Don't suffer any longer. Call the Long Island Gamma Knife® Center at South NassauCommunities Hospital today at 1-866-LI-Gamma. Learn how the gamma knife can removethe pain of trigeminal neuralgia and let you get back into life. -
