Special angelJoy Levy, the widow of the late State Senator Norman

Levy who served this area for decades, and StephanieJoyce Kahn of Long Beach have a lot in common.

Both graduated from Long Beach High School.Both have vision problems. Stephanie became blind as

a result of an auto accident years ago, and Joy has trou-ble reading since .her stroke a few years ago.

Both are the kind of person who lights up a room when,she .enters it, not just because of her physical beauty butbecause of the warm way in which she greets and makesfriends. .

Both have changed their worlds by caring about others,not their own problems. Anyone who talks to either ofthem ends up feeling more positive about everything thanwhen the conversation began.

Stephanie Joyce Kahn began the foundation that bearsher'name, when she realized that it is-not just the blindwho often find themselves unable to read in a hospital ornursing home. The SJK Foundation provides free audio-tapes to many hospitalized patients, finding that they helppatients deal with pain and loneliness as part of a holisticapproach to medicine. Tapes are also provided to thehomebound and children in pediatric wards. In one spe-cial program, high school students write and record sto-ries for children, a rewarding experience for both.

State Senator Norman Levy and Joy were among herearliest supporters decades ago. Years later, when. Joyherself began to haye vision problems, she became anavid "reader" of audiobooks herself.

And so one of the foundation's benefactors became oneof its recipients.

Joy Levy will be honored as -a "Special Angel" to theSJK Foundation at a.gala dinner dance, Thursday, June 3,at the Chateau Briand Restaurant, starting at 7 p.m.

Tickets for the gala, which will feature entertainmentby the Platters, are $150 and may be obtained by callingthe SJK Foundation at 889-5105.

There is probably not a single person in the world whowill not find himself or herself hospitalized, or home-bound at some point in life. That means that the servicesthe SJK Foundation provides nationwide could make anyone of us.feel better during a trying time.

If you would like to learn more about the SJKFoundation and how to volunteer, visit its website at lis-teningtherapy.org.

FHS INTERACTERS HAD A GOOD TIME at their Winter Holiday Dinner.

Freeport High School InteractThe -Interact Chapter of Freeport High School

finally set aside March, 16, for their WinterHoliday Dinner. Busy schedules and various com-mitments . kept the club from their annual gettogether that usually lakes place in- December.Still, on March 16, at 6-8:30 p.m., membersenjoyed an evening of great food and wonderfulconversation

The Interact Club, a community service organ-ization, is comprised of Freeport High Schoolstudents and is sponsored by the Freeport RotaryClub. In the past year, the Interact members haveworked to support many the charitable causes inand outside of the Freeport Community.Working together, the club' has managed todonate twenty five boxes of non-perishable food'to the INN, Interfaith Nutritional Network, forweekend food supplies. Located on Babylon

Turnpike, the INN feeds Freeporl residentsevery day. In addition, they provide groceries forweekend meals. Interact students participated in 'the 5K Breast Cancer Walk at Jones Beach,donated money to the Leukemia and LymphomaFoundation of New York, as well as to TheTaylor Fund, a fund set side for an Oceansidefamily whose son suffers from Leukemia.Donations are possible because of the group'sfund-raising commitment.

The Club began in September of 2001, witheight members. Since then, it has grown into agroup of twenty six dedicated young men andwomen. Mrs. Lindner, a teacher and club adviserfor the Interact Chapter at Freeport High, says sheis overwhelmed by the dedication from these stu-dents and is sure that the club will continue togrow.

by Joan DelaneyBaldwin's Assistant Superintendent for

.Instruction Jeffrey Hollman is a man ofdistinction. His ever-present bow tie is,perhaps, a lesson in point, for his decisionto wear it illustrates the thought-processthat marks this seasoned educator.

"I hate ties; I think they're stupid, they'redecoration and serve no purpose." And yetprofessional norms require them. And so,the long-time teacher and educator broughtboth common sense and creativity to therequirement with his decision to wear abow tie. He is distinctive.

Mr. Hollman is a 1969 graduate of CaseWestern Reserve in Cleveland where hegraduated with a major in English and aminor in education. A master's followedfrom Long Island University and he hascompleted all his course work for a doctor-ate from New York University (NYU)with the exception of his thesis.

"That's one of my goals," he said, as hespoke about his years in education and hisretirement plans in an interview with TheLeader. "I have several possibilities." Hediscussed his thoughts on a thesis topic thatwould explore staff and human develop-ment. "I believe we should study ways tostructure schools to maximize the develop-ment of staff." Another topic to exploremight include his experiences in helping tocreate the first high school Gay-StraightAlliance in the Long Island area inresponse to a request from Baldwin stu-dents.

Mr. Hollman began his career in GlenCove where he taught English at both themiddle school and high school. After tak-ing one year off, he proceeded to BellportHigh School where he taught English forten years and served as assistant principalfor six years. From there he went to

Jeffrey Hollman, a man of distinctionPlainedge as principal, committed to bring-ing stability to a ̂ school "that had seen sig-nificant administrative turn-over. In 1995he came to Baldwin as principal of the highschool, a professional relationship whichculminated in his appointment almost threeyears ago as Asssistant Superintendent forInstruction. "It's time," he said, speaking ofhis retirement. Eventually, however, hehopes to teach at the college level.

For this educator, teaching and adminis-tration have been an interesting process of.accomplishment and' personal develop-ment. When asked to describe his achieve-ments as well as his challenges, they arefrequently one and the same.

He speaks of his increasing awareness ofthe importance of allowing all students to •"move up," to stretch beyond the narrowconstraints of tracking. In fact he has saveda letter which was sent to him when he wasprincipal in Plainedge by a contingent ofstudents in a lower track. It speaks of thefeelings of these young people and theStigna and differences in opportunities theybelieved were associated with tracking.

He came to Baldwin when new Regentsmandates required that all students pass theEnglish Regents to graduate and he'describes that tjme of "the upward move-ment of kids" as "very frightening" for staffwho had to provide additional support sys-tems so that all youngsters could accom-plish their goals. He calls Baldwin's com-mitment to allow students to "try A.P.classes" as significant, contrasting it withan "exclusive approach which is hurtfuland does not engender excellence." Rigidtracking, he thinks, "sends a message tokids that you're not as valuable."

"I'm a firm believer in praising studentsfor their academic accomplishments. Ibelieve we should do for academics what

athletics- has done for athletes." Hedescribes the kinds' of positive reinforce-ment needed to affirm students whoachieve. "I created the Academic Hall ofFame. If a student won a Spanish essaycontest, I took a picture. The plaques weput up set the tone and helped answer the

' question 'What is your school known as'?'"Among his other accomplishments he

cites his insistence on an attendance policyfor sports eligibility. At first there was "a lotof. grief," but eventually the policy helpedchange behavior.

His comments on education are thought-ful. "I'm a public education person.Vouchers frighten me." In defining hisideas on the role of education, he says."The educational system should create cit-izens who can operate this democracy.That's role number one. The spin-off is thateducation should prepare people for richlives, to see the complexity of life andenjoy it."

That is why Mr. Hollman was so drawnto Baldwin. "I knew Ray Melucci (the for-mer high school principal) and I came tovisit the high school before I-applied. Itwas after school and the place was filledwith kids participating in all sorts of activ-ities." Mr, Hollman has nothing but praisefor the Board of Education and fellowadministrators whose budgeting priorities"do an excellent job of giving kids options.These kids have all sorts of raw talertts andskills."

Regarding systemic problems in educa-tion, he calls the funding process "crimi-nal," adding that "an accident of birth canresult in a good education or not." Hedescribes as problematic the presentassessment system which requires anincreasing numbers of standardized tesls."These tests are only a snapshot in time;they don't reflect the kind of rich assess-

ments ihat former commissioners of edu-cation understood." He spoke of the impor-tance of creating assessments that allowstudents "to show the full range of whatthey know and what they can do."

Perhaps Mr. Hollman's awareness of theimportance of "doing" as well as "know-ing" mirrors his own interests and back-ground. "My Dad. who was a Depression-era kid. has a deep reverence for the object.Nothing is ever thrown out." Extendingthai philosophy crealively. Mr. Hollmanhas joyously labored as a woodcurvcr andsculptor, often using scrap wood to createartwork (hat sometimes towers over hisown (all frame. Although his work wasincluded in 1990 in the Long Island ArtistsShow at the Nassau Museum of An. Mr.Hollman shrugs off his accomplishmentsas a hobby, albeit one lo which he will heable to devote more time in his retirement.

Mr. Hollman and his wife Dr. LaurieHollman, a. psychoanalyst in private prac-tice, are the parents of (wo sons. David. 2S.a computer scientist who graduated fromCornell, and Richard 26. an actor whograduated from the University ofPennsylvania and is now completing amasters program at NYU's New School.

A man of rich experience in the field ofeducation. Mr. Hollman seems to personi-fy the definition of a Renaissance man.One wall of his office is papered with ahuge world map. A framed timeline of theHislory of Civilization on the oilier wall issurrounded by various paintings. It is thisholistic approach lo education - knowing,understanding, participating, creating,doing, and appreciating - (hat JeffreyHollman has tried to transmit to his slu-

With better understanding, bays slowly rejuvenating

by Douglas Finlay

Editor's Note: This is the second partof a two-part stoiy

Of all the issues Don Harris, vice-presi-dent of Freeport-based SPLASH (StopPolluting Littering And Save the Harbors)presents, he said that no issue is as impor-tant as the sustainability of the creaturesthat inhabit the bays.

In this, the shell fishermen could notagree more. And it is'in this area of sus-tainability that association members unani-mously agree the Town of Hempstead doesits most compelling and gratifying work.

"We have the most aggressive clammingprogram anywhere on Long Island, with aseasonal program and two conditional pro-grams," said Ed Thomas, president of theHempstead Shellfishermen's Association."Conditional program, program A, is openin Fall and Spring, and program B is openfour months, from December I to March31." He added that all programs are still at

the mercy of rainfalls, which bring non-source pollutants such as papers, oils'andplastic from streets to drain, into the bays,necessitating closure for up to eight days.

The town boasts a vigorous clam-grow-ing program targeted for both shell fisher-men and recreational shell fishermen."Each year our department buys 1. to 1 1/4million seed from a local company thatsells them from spawner clams under con-trolled conditions." said Ron Masters,commissioner of the town Department ofConservation and Waterways. "In addition,for'the past several years, the Hempsteadbaymen have provided 1/2 million largerseed from the same grower."

He said that the seedling clams, grown inindoor vats in which nutrient-rich saltwate'r and seeds are mixed, grow within sixmonths into thumbnail-sized clams. Hesaid the thuhibnail-sized clams are thenhand-seeded into areas scientists workingin its state-certified laboratory believe arerelatively depleted or are highly produc-

tive. " •He also said that since clams are edible,

monitoring of waler and the clams'them-selves are necessary to test for total bacter-ial levels and for coliform. ."Longer term,the water quality data is used by our sci-ence staff and the [state Department of*Environmental Conservation] DEC's shell-fish management staff to consider openingareas that have been traditionally closedbecause of human activities near shore-lines."

It is precisely these seed programs thathelp shell fishermen survive the brutal win-ters, in addition to fund-raising money theyraise that goes to buying larger clams thetown plants for them as well. "Theseedlings take one-and-a-half to (hire yearsto grow," shell fisherman Bob Roth said',

' "but the clams we buy are bigger so thatwhen the town plants them for us they cangrow in a few months' time."

The clams they ask the town (o plant arcNetada clams. "You know when you gel

one because il has a dis t inct ive design onthe shell." shellfisherman Tom Jeffriessaid. Mr. Thomas said the clam is a "hearti-er strain that is also very healthy, and realchefs look for these because they have a lotof meat in them." Mr. Roth intimated that"1 know a chef that needed three do/en ofours compared to four-and-a-half do/en ofthe other clams" for the same purposes.

Depending upon the si/e 'and thedemand, shell fishermen receive between10 cents ami 23 cents for each clam fromlocal restaurants. While they would not

\ mention their individual clients by name,they include the finest seafood stores andrestaurants along the canals, the channelsand the bays in addition to oilier restaurantsand seafood stores further upland.

Mr. Roth said. "We have certain rules orrestrictions as to what we'll charge, becauseboats in Connecticut dredge for clams andHood our markets with, cheaper clams."But shell fisherman Jeff Korn added. "A

Bays rejuvenatefrom page 10

locally grown clam to a real chef at a rep-utable restaurant demands higher pricinghul we gel their business, and it pays off forboth of us. All the restaurants want locallygrown clams."

Which explains why-the shell fishermanhave grown accustomed to living with acertain degree of angst come the season'sopening.. Said shellfisherman MikeCombs, "It's not (he snow_as much as theice forming a foot-and-a-half thick at low'tide and setting up on sand bars to sheer thetops of the bars and expose the clams,which freezes them."

Mr. Thomas added that at limes north-west winds do as much damage to ihe sandbars as the ice because it will also exposethe clams and freeze ihe ground. He saidihe association often requests the lown toplanl seed where it had the best chance ofsurvival, perhaps off the edges of the ba°r sothey won't become exposed to ice or wind.

Chlorine may be the most neglected, orignored, issue when discussing the bays.The Jones Beach sewage plant, hiddenamong tall dense brush just northeast of theJones Beach Theatre, empties its trealedsewage into the bay in the form of chlori-nated water.

While it is known lo Ireal over 750,000gallons of raw' sewage in an hour duringsummer peak limes on Saturdays andSundays, and when there are concerts atthe thealre, il Ireals some. 100,000 gallonsduring a regular day and practically noth-ing during the winter monlhs, dischargingonly negligible amounts of chlorine.

Compare this to the Cedar Creek sewageplanl in Wantagh, which Ireals some 50million gallons of raw sewage daily.However Cedar Creek does not empty itseffluenl into the bays but about a mile anda half out .into the ocean, according' toChristine Marzigliano, chairwoman of iheCedar Creek Heallh Risk AssessmenlCommittee.

"New York State, which runs the oldfacility at Jones Beach, ma.de a buffer zonelo both the easl and the west of the outflowpipe inlo the bay and recertified a certifiedclamming area as uncertified for clam-ming," Mr. Thomas said. "They lold us thaibecause il was an aulomalic facility lhalwas unmanned, somelhing could happen

•in ihe planl beyond iheir control", to affectthe bay environment.

He said the association approached thestale to request classifying the area as cer-tified from December 1 through April Iwhen ihere was no aclivity at the beach ortheatre at all, and was soundly rebuffed.

Mr. Masters called chlorine an "effectivedisinfectant but the longer-term degrada-lion products of chlorinated organic com-pounds are virtually unknown." Mj\_Thomas added, "If chlorine is kill ing thenutrients then we are breaking the foodchain."

Cory Wyanl, well-known veteran fisher-man of Ihe bays, has said thai when hegoes up-canal looking for fish he will oftenwitness homeowners dumping their chlori-nated pools into the canals. Mr. Mastersmade it quite clear, however, that lowncode, slale environmental jurisdiction andthe Environmental Protection Agency,through ihe Clean Water Act, do not permitdumping, of chlorination of any type direct-ly inlo water without a permit.

Adrienne Esposito. for the Citizens'Campaign- for the Environment, said thatthe Bush admjnistration has instructed itsagencies.not to enforce the Clean WaterAct protection in many wetlands and smallslreams. The Long Island's South ShoreEstuary Reserve has a significant numberof tributaries protected by wetlands lhalmay be vulnerable lo alteration or degrada-tion, thus affecting our bays.

Environmental advocates are urging theslate Legislature lo pass ihe Clean WaterProtection and Flooding Prevention Acl.A7905 DiNapoli/S.4480. If passed inlolaw, this bill would allow New York'sDepartment of Environmental 'Conservation to regulate wetlands (andtherefore our bays) left unprotected by thechanges in federal policy.

Still, Mr. Harris remains oplimislicaboul the bays this year, the next year andthe years lo come. "We have come a longway, and have lurned away from corporatedealings that slow down rejuvenation ofthe bays. There is sustainabilily in growingclams, and Ihe children are now beingtaught ihe right message and beginning tounderstand it."

Perhaps we are now slowly reversingthe hands of the bays' own nuclear clock.
