Statement read by Dr. Robert J.Britto, superintendent of schools,Baldwin School District, at October 11Board of Education meeting:

In light of the recent incidents ofschool violence across the country, Iwant to assure the Baldwin communitythat the Baldwin School District placesthe safety of its students and staff as itsfirst priority.

For many years, Baldwin SchoolDistrict has had a districtwide emer-gency management plan that details^pro-cedures and the chain of.command forspecific types of emergencies;- Wereview the emergency management-planat the district and school levels and holdstaff training and school drills everyyear.

In addition, the Baldwin SchoolDistrict has been in the forefront ofschool safety by holding annual SchoolProper Emergency Evacuation Drills(we call SPEED drills) to test potential

emergency scenarios in cooperationwith the fire and police departments.

Baldwin .School District works close-ly with the Baldwin Fire Departmentand the Nassau County PoliceDepartment on all matters relating toschool safety, with two Nassau Countypolice officers specifically assigned toour district as school resource officers.

We ask students and the community toreport any suspicious activity to schooladministrators or anonymously throughwww.report-it.com or directly to NassauCounty Police by calling 911. The-dis-trict has hired Arrow Security to patrolthe district buildings after school hours,and the community may report any safe-ty concerns to the company at 631-207-1450.

In the event of an emergency, it isimportant for us to communicate withparents and guardians, so please checkthat student emergency contact formsare, completely updated and do so on a

regular basis. Parents and guardians arealso strongly encouraged to subscribe tothe "safety alert" e-mail list to receiveprompt notification by e-mail of anyemergency situation happening withinthe district. This information will beposted on the home page of the district |website, www.baldwinschools.org, aswell.

Violence toward students is both dis-. concerting and disheartening. We allwant our schools to be a safe haven for fi

. children. Although we hope the BaldwinSchool District will never be touched byany act of violence, we cannot be com-placent. We have reviewed safety proce- j|dures with our staff, increased screening -s!

procedures for visitors to our buildings,and continue to be vigilant and proac-tive so the students and staff in theBaldwin schools feel safe and secure.

Long-range planning by Freeport school boardby Laraine A. Milazzo

At the October 4 meeting of theFreeport Board of Education,Superintendent Eric Eversley gaveboard members the opportunity toreview a report on long-range planningfor the district. The project was con-ducted by the Western Suffolk BOCESoffice of School Planning andResearch. Bonnie Cap, a coordinatorof BOCES, was on hand to present thefindings of the study.

From 1998 to 2005 there has been adecrease of 611 students in grades K-12 although pre-kindergarten numbershave increased. Projections indicatethat "grade configurations will declinebetween 2005 and 2010," according tothe report.

Indications are that the declines willcontinue for the five years after thatwith the exception of grades seven andeight which will remain stable. Duringthe same time period, studies projectadditions to pre-kindergarten as well asthe community school.

Referring to the study as "anextremely conservative document,"trustee Michael Raab suggested theremay be flaws in the estimates. Ms. Capresponded, "There always have to beassumptions in statistics."

External auditors' reportStephen Wagner, external auditor for

the district, said that his firm had stud-ied the policies and procedures and theaccount balances for the district andrated the district records as "unquali-fied," the highest level of assurance.

Mr. Wagner said that all governmen-

tal auditing requirements were fol-lowed and that the district staff andtreasurer cooperated fully with hisfirm. When Mr. Raab asked if bond rat-ings would be affected by the report,Mr. Wagner answered that bond ratingcommittees "would look very favor-ably" on the district.

Trustee Ronald Ellerbe questionedwhether the fund balance reserve willchange from the current 2 percent to 5percent. Vincent Cullen of the auditingfirm said it was doubtful.

Deputy Superintendent of SchoolsKishore Kuncham said that historical-ly, the passing of budgets in Albanydidn't happen until after the start of theschool year. With that in mind, it isprudent for districts to have largerreserves, he added.

Board President Debra McQuillannoted that the report "solidifies myconfidence in the district."

School safetyDr. Eversley told board members

that in light of the recent tragic eventswhich have occurred at some schools,"we are revisiting school safety proce-dures." The superintendent reassuredthe school community that there arecurrently "many measures in place."

Some of those measures includesecurity personnel, electronicallysecured doors, video cameras, staff andstudent identification cards, closed cir-cuit TV at the high school, sign-in andpass requirements for visitors and theuse of magnetometers for search pur-poses. The chief of security has metwith security officers and principalsand will be meeting with faculty to dis-

Committee, which meets at least fourtimes per year, has a meeting sched-.uled and each of the school buildingHealth and Safety Committees meet ona regular basis. "It is our intention to bevigilant," said Dr. Eversley.

Other businessCarmen Pineyro asked fellow board

members to consider joining the LatinoCaucus of the National School BoardsAssociation. Only Ms. Pineyro andMichael Raab are members of the cau-cus.'Mr. Raab said that "what Carmendoes at caucus is awesome." He addedthat she works with research compa-

-nies and receives the benefit of theirreports. After determining that the

additional cost would be minimal,board members decided that all boardmembers would join the LatinoCaucus.

Public comments and questionsDr. Al Renken applauded the long-

range planning study and said hehoped it would be used for futurebudget development.

George Hebert requested a copy ofthe study and copies were immediatelydistributed at the meeting. Mr. Hebertsuggested that when looking at schoolsafety, school bus safety should also beconsidered.

The community newspaper - the glue thathelps hold a community together,

and the spur that helps keep It moving forward.

How can we protect our schools?That is the topic of a conference being organ-

ized by President George Bush in the wake of arash of shootings in schools, .often by outsiders.

The shootings years ago at Columbine, and theattacks of 9/11 changed a lot about our schools.Every school has a plan, devised after muchstudy and care. Students need.to feel safe inorder to be able to concentrate on the job oflearning, and parents need to know that theirchildren are in good hands, in order to be able tofocus on their work.

In short, we are not a community if we don'ttrust each other.

Some may chafe at all the new rules and regu-lations required under the safe school policies.But we need rules and laws that protect thehealth and welfare of members of the schoolcommunity.

Everyone needs to be on the lookout for warn-ing signals. Anyone who has knowledge ofsomeone endangering the health and welfare of

' others and does not report it shares the responsi-bility for harm that comes to that person or oth-ers.

We all need to care about each other more andwork to prevent the bullying that can makesomeone go off the deep end. And, since gunshave been a part of so many of these recentattacks, we also need to. think more about guncontrol.

"Shoot first and think later," may sound like acool line in a Western movie, but it has veryuncool and tragic consequences in real life. Itcan't be undone.

just \A/ritoUP VERSUS UP AND OUT... There's

a big difference between being up at6:15 a.m. and being.up and out at 6:15a.m.

For my entire marriage, I have beenawake when my husband leaves forwork at approximately 6:15 a.m. Duringthat time, my "awakeness" has varied.When the children were little, I wasoften somewhat groggy since the"asleep" portion of my life was fre-quently disrupted. ;

When the children were in elementaryschool and there were snowstorms andthen again when they were in highschool but not within the mileageallowed for busing, I was dressed andready for car pooling like most suburbanmoms.

In recent years, however, I have beenmostly "up" but not "up and out." Thatmeant that I could wander about whilemy husband showered and had break-fast, and I would slowly sip on a cup ofcoffee, hoping it would jolt me intoawakening.

It meant that when it was pouring rain,I would offer suggestions like, "Bettertake an extra pair of socks in case your

feet get wet." In winter when we weredeluged with snow, those wifely admo-nitions would include, "Be careful if youhave to walk in the street" or else, "Stepcarefully, it might be icy."

After saying my good-byes and clos-ing the front door, I might listen to thelocal morning news which somehowalways included a jack-knifed tractor-trailer either on the GowanusExpressway or some other major thor-oughfare that was built eons ago.

Once the caffeine kicked in, I wouldbegin my own morning rituals with theintent of getting out of the house byabout 9 a.m., or else I would head to thebasement where I have my computer setup and begin writing an article or col-umn. Whatever the plan, I was able toease into the morning.

That ended about a month ago whenmy husband "pulled something" in hisleg. That something turned out to be aminor tear to his Achilles tendon. Like agood wife, therefore, I decided to behelpful and make the offer. "Why don'tI drive you to the station in the morn-ing?"

Ever generous, _ he insisted, 'That's

-really not necessary," and perhaps itisn't. After all, when he gets to the city,he has to walk. But, necessary or not, it'ssomething I want to do, and so, alongwith him, I am not only "up," but "upand out." •

My neighbor used to say that shecould set her clock by my husband. Hewould walk by her house as she was firstglancing out her kitchen window tocheck the weather. Now she sees usboth.

He, of course, is striding, with a smalllimp, to our car. I, on the other hand, amwalking like a zombie. I am hoping thatour short ride to the station will notresult in any kind of accident that woulddraw, attention to myself. I hope I don'tsee anyone I know because I am notdressed for success.

I am wearing sweat pants and a sweat-shirt and sandals I bought in Hawaii. Ihaven't yet taken my shower and myhair is askew. I drive with all four win-dows down, both for the cold breeze thatstartles me into a full awakening as wellas for a way to eliminate rapidly the con-densation that obscures peripheralvision.

We drive directly to the station.Hardly anyone is on the road and mak-ing the left-hand turn with the arrow atthe intersection of Milburn and SunriseHighway fias become a quest. (Whendid I become so competitive?) We driveinto the station area, I drop off my hus-band, he buys me the morning papers, Imake a couple of right hand turns andam home in less than five minutes. Bythe time I get home, I am fully awake.

For the last month, I have ponderedsome of my new experiences. First ofall. I have seen sunrises, and while I

don't wax poetic over them, I have, onoccasion, muttered, "That's beautiful" tomy husband. I have also noticed a wholenew group of people going about theiractivities whom I would otherwise nothave observed; These folks are part of adistinctly different crowd-from the peo-ple I usually see at evening meetingswhich can last till close to midnight.

There is one woman who is alwaysinhaling a final smoke before ascendingthe escalator to catch her train. I amimpressed that the ATM machine so fre-quently has customers. The newspaperkiosk seems to do a brisk business, andonce a week, the mobile post office alsoseems to attract a large number of clients.

Like hie, however, everyone seemspretty programmed. Whether these com-muters are wearing conservative three-piece business suits or blue jeans, noneof them seems to waste too much extramotion or emotion. Most seem circum-spect in their physical and personal out-put - a nod here or there, a brief "thankyou." A significant number grip theirpaper coffee cups.

My recent "up and out" life makes memore respectful of all those folks whomust bejOut there and functioning com-pletely at such an early hour. And I amamazed i at the increased productivitythat a cduple of extra hours can produce.

Of course there are some glitches. Theother day I walked into the office of myperiodontist, said hello, and sat down. Afew minutes later, the receptionistopened:the door,"smiled at me andasked, "What time was your appoint-ment, Joan?"

I looked up from my book andresponded, "8:40."

She answered, "Joan, it's only 7:40."

Not even the dark clouds and liquidsunshine that appeared over GeorgeEmma Field just before half time coulddampen the homecoming events at FHS.The spirit-filled Pep Rally held onFriday was the harbinger of things tocome and the football team did not letanyone down.

William Porter ran 142 of his 194yards and scored two of his three touch-downs in the fourth quarter to open up abig lead in what had been a very tightball game. When the final gun went off,Freeport led 30-10 and had boosted itsrecord to 3-0.

Farmingdale's Arthur Barrett scoredon a six-yard run and then Porter brokethrough the line on a three-yard run.Freeport's conversion was good asShannon Robinson threw a completed

pass to Donnie Hodge and the RedDevils were on top 8-7. Just before half-time the Dalers field goal kicker, JoeBagnasco, successfully kicked a 22-yardfield goal putting Farmingdale on topgoing into the locker room. Little did theDalers know that they were done scor-ing for the day.

Freeport seemed rejuvenated as theteam marched on to the field. Robinson's29-yard pass to Hodge seemed to be thecatalyst and then Porter's two 33- and66-yard runs were the icing on the cake.Robinson completed 10 or 15 passes for180 yards and Chris Edmond rushed for124 yards on 15 carries. Freeport accu-mulated 531 yards total offense.

Offense is good but without a gooddefensive effort, things could quicklyturn around. Edmond had one tackle andsix assists while Nike Aristilde madefour huge tackles and one assist. David

Police report the arrest onSeptember 26 of Lisa Herrero, 21,Milburn Avenue, Baldwin and LauraMontalto, 26, of Massapequa for pos-session of Oxycontin and a white pow-ered substance believed to be cocaine.

"The bays are coming back," saidSkip Zawrotny, Vice President ofboats for SPLASH. "Now I see osprey,owls, egrets, blue claw crabs and thefish have never been better. You havefluke, striped bass, porgies and blue-fish. It's phenomenal. If we keep it up,the bays will be just incredible."

An interim report released inSeptember by the South Shore EstuaryReserve Council documents the proj-ects spearheaded by governmentalagencies, environmental groups andindividuals who all have a vision torestore and protect the major embay-ments along the South Shore in Nassauand Suffolk Counties.

Jeffrey Fulmer, executive director ofthe South Shore Estuary ReserveCouncil presented the interim reporton a boat ride out of Freeport. It was abalmy, sunny day and the sunlightdanced across the waters of the middlebay. A SPLASH boat followed theNautical Princess. They were trollingthe waters for any sign of refuse. "Thisis j>art of our vision," said Mr.

Answers to CrosswordPuzzle From Page 2

Zawrotny. "We have boats out hereseven days a week to clean thesewaters [from Wantagh to Baldwin]."

This is just the kind of accomplishmentthat the South Shore Estuary ReserveCouncil documents in their report,"Partners for Progress." The report,required by law, also examines futuresteps to be taken to continue restorationof our waters by various estuary partners.

In 2001, The South Shore EstuaryReserve Comprehensive ManagementPlant was created as a blueprint forstewardship of the bays and wetlands.

The South Shore Estuary reserveencompasses the Hempstead Bays,South Oyster Bay, Great South Bay,Moriches Bay, Quantuck Bay andShinnecock Bay and their 326 squaremiles of watershed in Nassau andSuffolk. It extends approximately 75miles from the Nassau/Queens border atEast Rockaway inlet to the easternshoreline of Shinnecock Bay. Thereserve is bounded by. the barrier islandsto the south and the upland limits of thereserve's watershed to the north.

A BOUQUET OF YELLOW ROSES,Mrs. Isreal's favorite flower, growsas each Bayview class adds a singleflower.

RememberingCheryle Isreal

As the sun shone on flowers in thenew Cheryle Isreal Learning Garden,loving descriptions full of admirationfor the late Bayview Avenue Schoolteacher and mentor bloomed just asbrightly during a ceremony in celebra-tion of her life recently. Mrs. Isreal, aresident of Freeport and a member ofthe Bayview staff for 34 years, died lastMarch.

"Our beloved Cheryle Isreal was amaster teacher, a Project Challengeteacher, a lead math teacher, a class-room teacher, a mentor, a creativethinker and visionary, and the writer,director and producer of all our theatri-cal productions," said BayviewPrincipal Odette Wills. "She will alwayslive in our hearts."

._ Gathered on the Bayview parkingfield were more than 500 Bayview stu-dents, current and' retired staff/parents,administrators from all over the schooldistrict, and the executive director ofLong Island Red Cross, on hand tohonor the partnership Mrs. Isreal forgedbetween Bayview and his agency. Sheand her students ultimately raised$20,000 for the Red Cross through aread-a-thon and inspired other districtsto do the same.

They joined Mrs. Isreal's husband,children, mother and other family mem-bers for the moving ceremony that pri-marily featured Bayview children. Theirtributes included reflections with an oft-repeated "Thank you, Mrs. Isreal"; thevocal ensemble of Wandally Rivera,Nanci Silvera, Taya Waymer andKathryn White singing an original song,"Mrs. Isreal"; a poetry tribute presentedby Lois Evens, Alex Gold, MadelineKrol, Margaret Moore, Ayleene Parada,Anthony Perez, Franco Ramos, JenniferVeslasquex and Skye Hamilton-Carranza; and "I Believe I Can Fly," aninterpretive dance presented and chore-ographed with billowing silk "wings"by a costumed Isaac Zellner.

Summing up, Superintendent ofSchools Dr. Eric L. Eversley expressed"a continuing sense of personal loss.But this morning," he continued, "wehave the opportunity to celebrate a richlife; a person who made our lives rich-er."

As children filed off the field past thenew learning garden, each class added asingle yellow rose—Mrs. Isreal'sfavorite flower—to a bouquet in hermemory.
