Seven decades

by Mark Treske Q: Who was the first Hispanic admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame? A: Roberto Clemente. This question - and many others - were the focus of Bayview Avenue School's Hispanic Heritage Month presentation to the Freeport Board of Education on October 19. Using a "Wheel of Fortune" format, the students reminded the audience of the important contributions of many famous Hispanics such as Ruben Blades and Diego Rivera, to name but two. There was also recognition of National School Board Week .certificates from the New York State School Boards Association, gifts from the National School Boards Associations, and an ailtoo seldom recognition of how hard school board members work and how much time they spend in service to the children of our area. District Science Co-ordinator

Dr. Nicholas Tzimmopoulos gave an update on the district's science research program. A number of Freeport students took part during the summer, working at internships at research facilities. They also got to visit labs at other research facilities such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital and to speak with other science students at Temple, Columbia and many other universities. Six students received college credit, and four were invited to participate in the New York City Science Fair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a good program for all concerned. A report by the, Community Relations Committee was given regarding the Wall of Fame. Various , ideas have been advanced (a formal dinner, connecting the' event with high school homecoming), and a committee of nine, is being assembled to plan the event. All members of the community must be longtime Freeport High School alums. : The approved consent agenda (continued on page 2)

Freeport schools will notify parents of sex offenders By Linda Delmonico Prussen Many school districts in Nassau County routinely notify parents when a convicted sex offender moves into the area. Neighboring districts such as North Merrick have been notifying parents for over five years. G. Dewey Smalls, chairman of the Freeport Neighborhood Watch Program, said at a Neighborhood Watch meeting October 18, he wants the same notification to go out to parents in the Freeport School District. "It's about protecting the children," he said. The Freepon Neighborhood Watch presented their request to the district for parent notification in August, but the district had not committed to parent notifications by meeting time. In a phone interview with The Leader on Wednesday October 19, Freeport School District Assistant Superintendent _, Mike Singleton said. "The next time there is an offender released there will be a notification." Mr. Singleton said he had been working with village officials to get a much, broader notification policy. Mr. Singleton said he believed not only parents, but also all residents, should be privy to such information. And while notifying the entire community is a worthwhile goal, the question remained: why, in the meantime, wasn't the school district notifying parents, the one demographic they can reach? . Mr. Singleton said parents could access the same information given to the schools by going on the website http://www.parentsformeganslaw.com/ and signing up fore-mail notification. When asked how those parents without computer access could retrieve the information he admitted, "There's a population not being served by it." The next lime an offender is released, Mr. Singleton said district parents will be made aware of the information given to the district and he assured parents that those demographics without computer access would not be over looked. Upon hearing the district's decision to notify parents. Mr. Smalls said, "The Freeport Neighborhood Watch (hanks the leadership of the school district." He added, "The Freeport Neighborhood Watch and residents applaud their efforts to listen to the concerns of the taxpayers in the village."

Other Neighborhood Watch news Detective Thomas Williams of the

Freeport Police Department spoke regarding two subjects of importance: the rash of robberies in Nassau County and domestic violence.

PLANT it ALL in the FALL!

Protecting yourself from burglaries/robberies

Decorating Checklist

In light of the recent break-ins to homes when residents were at home.. Detective Williams had these tips for homeowners: • Keep doors locked and windows locked, especially windows on the first floor, whether you are home or not. • Use your alarm system even when home. • Make certain garages are locked. • Don't leave any objects outside that people might be able to climb upon to look into the windows of your home. • Close your blinds. • Notify the police immediately if you notice any suspicious individuals or vehicles in your area. • If confronted with a break-in situation, Detective Williams said it's usually best to comply.

Cornstalks & Indian Corn Scarecrows, Witches & Ghosts vf Bales of Hay vf Mums, Cabbage & Kale Autumn Harvest Garlands & Wreaths vf Pumpkins, Gourds & Squash Dried Flowers, Foliage & Berries Autumn Candles & Table Accessories & much more! Our fall market has everything you need to create a fun, festive atmosphere in and around your home.

Domestic violence Detective Williams lead an enlightening discussion on some legalities regarding how the police handle domestic violence cases. In the case of harassment, this would be a violation; a spouse may request that his or her partner be arrested. The spouse requesting the arrest also has the choice whether the partner is taken to family court or criminal court. If taken to family court there is no criminal record. In the case of assault.which is an attack resulting in a visible injury with substantial pain, the police will make a mandatory arrest. The spouse in this case would not need to request the arrest and the perpetrator would be taken to criminal court. The rules are similar if the domestic dispute is between a parent and child. Mr. Smalls says he hopes to have additional meetings delving more deeply into the subject of domestic violence. Mr. Smalls also handed out flyers on various subjects, including rape prevention. The Freeport Neighborhood Watch has been active for a year and a half. Mr. Smalls said he created the watch to try and combat apathy towards crime after 15 year-old Diana Coirera was senselessly shot and killed. Since the group's inception it has held a National Night Out to fight the crime in Cow Meadow Park and has helped to make the park safer for residents.

The community newspaper - the glue that helps hold a community together, and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.

Make new friends... keep the old Your community newspaper celebrates its 70th anniversary this week with a look back at life in the 30s, Freeport's glory days, and other blasts from the past in Freeport and Baldwin. Many friends have been working hard to produce it and we hope it will be a keepsake edition, kept for years by many of our readers. Recent research has proven what we know anecdotally. Newspapers are reread many times, passed around the workplace and among friends and family. The bundle we drop off at Village Hall each week gets passed around to many offices, and copies are in schools, stores and picked up in the libraries. Still, we want more of you to subscribe to The Leader, which is why we are sending this issue to almost every home in Freeport, with lots of extra distribution in Baldwin as well. For a community to improve the most important factor is communication. And wonderful as it is to live and work in Freeport and Baldwin, for it to continue that way, we need to constantly strive to improve. We need you, our readers, to use our pages to announce events and news items, big and small, and to share opinions and ideas. We can help in fund-raising by your organization by offering you $6 for each member that takes a new subscription. This also means more of your members will be reading The Leader and seeing the news items and meeting notices you send in for publication. When L&M Publications community newspapers decided to buy The Leader from Ira and Rhoda Keller back in 1987, we were already familiar with the communities that neighbored the ones we were serving. Still, we drove around the area looking at it in a new light. One of the most important observations we made was that this multicultural community was not composed of ethnic neighborhoods but a true mix with African-Americans, Hispanics and those of European background all living side by side. Schools in Freeport had been integrated by bringing all of the village to one building by grade level. Homefinders had fought "white flight" with personal attention to those interested in settling and putting down roots in Freeport. The Arts Council had given residents a way to share their heritages with each other. Village government and advisory boards were truly diversified. The Kellers' many friends welcomed us with open arms. We still have many of the same advertisers, local businesses who have proven their loyalties to the communities and the newspaper_over the years. We also have new advertisers, newcomers that, like us. looked at Freeport and Baldwin, like'd what they saw, and wanted to get in on a good thing. We're looking forward to an exciting future together.

EMERGENCY: Richard Holdener, director of Freeport's Emergency Management, was the guest speaker at the October Chamber of Commerce luncheon held at 42 Woodcleft.

Nona Jagnow, executive secretary; Richard Holdener; Jane Dugan; Donald Rowan, co-coordinator of Freeport's Emergency Management, and Peter Vita, first vice president. Also honored at this luncheon were all the participants of the 2004 Toys For Tots Program.

GOLDEN GATHERING: Interested seniors from miles around gathered last week at the Freeport Recreation Center to learn about the many government and other programs available to them. The occassion was the annual Golden Gathering sponsored by state Senator Charles Fuschillo.

Main Street Awards benefit Freeport Governor George E. Pataki was joined Friday by state and local officials in the Village of Weslbury to announce $600,000 in awards to Nassau County through the state's Main Street Program, which is designed to stimulate downtown revitalizalion in communities by providing' funding for building renovations, streelscape enhancements and downtown business or cultural anchors. Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. said. "Downtown areas are the heart of many communities and the entire Village of Freeport will hen-' efit greatly from this program. The growth that will be accomplished with this funding will enhance the lives of the residents and enable business to grow throughout the Village. I am excited that the Village of Freeport will benefit . from this state program and that the entire community will soon be able to enjoy these improvements."

Assemblyman -David G. McDonough said. "This award, while providing physical renovations for the Village of Freeport. highlights a basic tradition of the importance of the community here on Long Island. I applaud Governor Pataki's New York Main Street Program, which is committed to enhancing the community's strength and vision, and stimulating economic prosperity." The Freeport Downtown- Revitali/.atiori and Facade Improvement Program has been an ongoing effort since 1999 and targets the village's traditional downtown and geographic center. The purpose of the program is to encourage economic development in the mixed-use selling of the Central Business District, to create and retain employment and re-establish the local tax base while preserving the historical design of the Central Business District through pedestrianfriendly development.

Baldwin school board will discuss school climate By Joan Delaney A wide variety of topics, ranging from the detailed specifics of individual contract approvals to the value of Proposition 1 which would amend the New York State Constitution, were discussed at the Baldwin Board of Education meeting held at Shubert School on October 19. Proposition I would move from April 1 to May I the day on which the New York Slate budget must be approved. Board members B.A. Schoen and Mary Jo O'Hagan explained discussion which has taken place at meetings of educational groups where they represent the Baldwin School District. Both indicated that little information has been disseminated on the issue. Mr. Schoen noted. "This is another example of how unenipowered citizens can be. We are asked for a 'Yea' or 'Nay" on a complicated question, not yet discussed. It's very disheartening." Mr. Schoen represents Baldwin on REFIT, a consortium of school districts seeking equality

in funding for education. Mrs. O'Hagan, representing Baldwin on the Nassau/Suffolk School Boards Association, said that the group has not taken an official position on the proposition hut questioned the value of the change. Presently, school districts are mandated to have a budget vote on the third Tuesday in May. Moving the date for approval of the state budget one month later would "further squeeze it for school districts...we would still be preparing budgets without knowing our financial aid." She added, "There's no proven benefit for us." Three personnel actions were approved.'Gene Levenstien was named as a per diem acting assistant superintendent for business. The board intends to re-advertise the permanent position in January. This vacancy occurred because the former assistant superintendent unexpectedly resigned to take a teaching/administrative position in a private school nearer to his extended family. Baldwin teacher Janine Vellotti was approved as assistant principal for Plaza

sages via computer, he believed that there were letters to parents. Since the parent and others had not received such a letter. Dr. Brilto noted that he would check on the process. Other issues included kudos to a wide range of Advanced Placement scholars, and an update on the extensive work already completed in Phase I of projects funded by the bond issue. Committee meetings to finalize those projects for Phase II have taken place and the specifics will be finalized soon. Mrs. O'Hagan spoke of the decision of various area educational organizations to unite and work closely with legislators to tackle the problems of taxes and escalating costs for education. Board member Anne Hannon said that she has completed two of the five classes on fiscal (raining now being required of new board members. After a recess, the hoard discussed resolutions to he presented at the New York Slate School Boards Association meeting scheduled to lake place in Rochester.

School and Richard Bland, new to the district, will be a dean at the high school. During audience questions a resident noted that the community had a "hunger for leadership...particularly regarding student behavior." He spoke of a desire for "an engaged level of leadership on issues of concern." and asked if there could be discussion of this at the Community Input Meeting scheduled for Wednesday. November 2. Board President James Scannell noted that the input meeting focuses on audience questions rather than presentations, but Superintendent Robert Britto noted that officials have tentatively scheduled a presentation on "School Climate and Tone at the Middle School and High School" for the Wednesday. November 9, board meeting scheduled to take place at Steele School. He said that "a specific action plan" would be included. Another parent questioned the communication process regarding a recent bomb scare at the middle school and Dr. Britto said that in addition to the special e-mail and key communicators' mes-

Legislator Scannell hears residents' concerns by Joan Delaney Despite sparse attendance, discussion was animated and productive at County Legislator Joseph Scannell's community meeting held on Thursday evening, October 20. at Baldwin Middle School. Only a dozen residents were present, but many of them were extremely familiar with the workings of government and had knowledge 'and experience in dealing with local problems with various agencies over a long period of time. Present with Mr. Scannell was Dolores Sedacca, the community service representative from the office of the Nassau County assessor who spoke about various property tax exemptions; Raymond Ribeiro, the unit head of the county's traffic engineering department and Sergeant John Berry, a patrol supervisor from the Nassau County Police Department's First Precinct in Baldwin.

Although both Ms. Sedacca and Mr. Ribeiro gave presentations, much of the meeting focused on questions and comments regarding quality "of life issues such as illegal speeding and parking, noise and offensive behavior near certain restaurants and bars, and safety. Responding to questions concerning the recent rash of home invasions in other areas, Sergeant Berry explained the situation, described the attention of multi-county task forces, outlined the recurring pattern used by the criminals, and offered practical advice such as keeping doors and windows locked, using outdoor lights at night, and being alert to unusual people or cars in the neighborhood. He also took detailed notes on various other complaints by residents, including those who brought certain license plate numbers with them to the meeting. During conversations regarding the

appearance of Baldwin and the lack of quality stores. Mr. Scannell referred to efforts to recruit businesses. He noted his disappointment with results by the Chamber of Commerce, saying. "The Baldwin Chamber of Commerce doesn't do a good enough job. They act like a social organization holding events like picnics. We have to get some sort of community group to recruit business." In continuing discussion of the problems associated with certain businesses.

several residents noted thai many landlords "just don't care...they make out heller taking tax vvrile-offs." Another resident suggested that residents unite against businesses where late night rowdy drinking and other offensive behavior occur and "make their lives miserable." Referring to problems with a Grand Avenue restaurant, which is now becoming a spoils bar. several resi(continued on page 35)

ETS will also operate a childcare cenPi ter located in the Jewish Community Q Center of West Hempstead for (he academically and artistically gifted child. | ETS will relocate the program services W now offered at the Our Holy Redeemer H School Building in Freeport to another location in Freeport. ETS was formed in 1990 in response to the low level of reading and math scores in local children. Our mission is to promote, foster and advance the health, welfare and well-being of children and (heir families. We do this by providing educational and cultural enrichment activities. As a result of the formation of ETS, parents and teachers alike have lauded our. efforts in redirecting children toward educational excellence, cultural enrichment and a love for lifelong learning as grades and lest scores have improved dramatically. ETS offers programs and services that serve children ages 18 months through 21 years of age. The early childhood curriculum develops children for school readiness. The Before/After School, u

Holiday/Vacation, and Summer Camps programs offer academic, social, and recreational enrichment. Additionally, there is a Youth-InTraining program, which develops teenagers through mentoring and training into secure, responsible, productive adults ready for the world of work. We also teach older youth how to work with younger children. All programs include nutritious meals. Other services include adult computer training, social programs and tutoring, Artists In Motion. Kid's Cafe, and Sunshine Residence, a home for unwed teen mothers and their babies located at 423 Atlantic Avenue, Freeport. We have a successful record of helping many families in Freeport and nearby communities as evidenced by our past community support. We now need to raise $150,000 to relocate our program for children ages 6-16 years. Please help-us! The community needs an organization that is eager to serve and available for youth of all ages and needs! We have a hands-on approach when it comes to junior, middle and high school young adults. We have programs geared especially for that "sometimes difficult" age group: we help them to discover their inner talents and then develop those talents towards being responsible citizens. Our staff includes a well-organized, experienced administration - warm, nurturing, motivating, and loving teachers who maintain a creative classroom environment to provide academic, cultural and recreational enrichment activities.

sporting devils By Linda Hendrickson Freeporl couldn't have asked for a better day for iis homecoming game against Hempstead. The sun was out, the temperature was warm and school spirit permeated the stands. The next two games were played in less than ideal conditions and the results were mixed. The Red Devils scored early in the first quarter on a ten-yard run and a one-yard run by quarterback Michael Dowdell. Joaquin Viedma kicked two extra points against Hempstead and Freeport's band was well into its famous "Stomp." A nine yard run by William Porter finished Freeport's first-half scoring. Victor Rodriguez had an impressive second half as he scored two touchdowns on a 23yard run and a 3-yard run; Rodriguez had 86 yards on 16 carries. Viedma kicked two extra points. Chris Edmond had a career-high 19 tackles and one fumble recovery. When Freeport and Farmingdale meet, the intensity level rises. Sunday's game proved no exception as the Red Devils defeated the Dalers 41-35 in double overtime. The game, originally scheduled for Friday night, was rained out. That gave these intense opponents two more days to prepare for their contest. Tim Katz scored on a 26-yard pass from Dowdell and Viedma's kick was good to tie the ganie 7-7 at the end of the first. Freeport went ahead on Dowdell's I-yard run and the kick was good. Farmingdale scored in the third but the kick failed. Anthony Rodriguez caught a 27-yard pass from Dowdell and Porter ran for eight to give Freeport 28 points but Farmingdale also scored twice and

successfully made its two point conversion. Porter's I -yard touchdown run gave Freeport the double-overtime victory. Ismael Palma led the red hot boys' varsity soccer team to a 2-1 victory over the Oceanside Sailors. Scoring at 31:35 he scored off a forward pass from Edwin Acosta. At 15:06 in the second half Heyman Rivas scored on a breakaway. Oceanside's solo score with 1:14 left in the game was the only ball that got by Danny Viedma, who had eight saves on goal. Emmanuel Gamez had an impressive showing in Freeport's 8-0 win over Valley Stream Central. Kevin Escobar scored off of Gamez's corner kick; he later scored off a pass from Palma. Heyman Rivas and John.Massey both scored off corner kicks by Gamez. Danny Viedma had two great saves as goalie. Freeport's girls' soccer team played Locust Valley in an intense game that ended in a 1-1 tie. The Lady Devils were strong throughout the first half and most of the second. Yessenia Quintanilla

scored a goal in the first ten minutes ol the game on a corner kick. They held off Locust Valley for the next 50 minutes and only let them score in the last ten minutes of the game. Karen Hernandez and Michelle Mendoza were the key players who shut down Locust Valley's top Scorer. Freeport's volleyball team won its match against Hempstead by a score of 3I (25-3, 24-26. 25-11. 25-14). Freshman set Alexis Dziedziech served 22 straight points including six serving aces in the first game to set the tone of the match. Junior Christina Evans added three blocks and two kills. Earlier in the week. Freeport lost to Levittown Division in three games. Freeport defeated Uniondale in three straight games. Chanel Briggins was outstanding for the Lady Devils. Captain and outside hitter Rayza Romero and Melody Godbolt led the team on offense. Liz Peters had an exhausting meet finishing second in the 500 freestyle and anchoring both freestyle relays. She was

the only second place scorer for Freeport. _ The team continues to improve and has c not had any disqualifications.

Freeport is 'picture of America by Linda Toscano America is not like Garden City or Massapequa. where the population is overwhelmingly white, but much more like Freeport, where Hispanics, AfricanAmericans and whites together make "a picture of America," according to longtime Freeporter Robert Pachas. "Bob" Pachas himself is of PeruvianIncan heritage, and his grandmother from Chile was a "mestizo" of Araucano and Spanish background. His wife grew up in Cuba, and was educated both there and here. They met in Farmingdale in 1957, when Raquel was visiting New York, corresponded for a year and were married in September 1958. In January Fidel Castro officially look over, and many Cuban exiles were settling in Freeport. Raquel and Bob Pachas moved to Farmingdale. Both

were teachers, he teaching social studies in New York City and she Spanish in Lynbrook. They were living in Farmingdale, when Raquel Pachas began helping Ramona Crook in Freeport's Homefinders, working to counteract the white flight that followed racial tensions of the 1960s. At the same time, the Pachases were looking to find a home closer to their work that would also be suitable for her father-in-law, and that is why, although childless, they settled on the Maryland Avenue home with a motherdaughter set up, nestled in the prosperous neighborhood of Northwest Freeport. Almost immediately, Raquel Pachas became involved in the Long Island Arts Council at Freeport, which has worked to help Freeporters and indeed Long Islanders share their cultural heritages through arts

events. She is still on the board of the council, reaching out to minorities. She is also a past-president of the Long Island Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. She is part of the Building Development Task Force that advises the village on proposals for use of land such as the former Meadowbrook Bank and Freeport

. Hospital, and is also on the Landmark Commission. Bob Pachas is a past chair of the village's Environmental Commission, I responding to complaints of pollution and o. other threats to this waterfront community's ecological treasures. O o He is also Chaplain for the Nassau 5 " County American Legion and a past-commander of William Clinton Story Post 342. N>

Both agree that Freeport has only gotten better over the years.

the leadership of David Opatow, has been a wonderful resource for the Hispanic community, she adds. Often "the teacher in me" will stop to help one of the many Hispanic children using the computers at the library after school. So, too, the Freeport Recreation Center, where the Hispanic community is beginning to take full advantage of the facilities and courses offered. She also praised the village's building department for working on overoccupancy issues, making sure that newcomers to Freeport are saved from 'living in terrible conditions" caused by labsentee andlords who fail to provide them with decent housing on the one hand and on the other fail to pay their fair share of school and municipal taxes.

Baldwin Chamber deals with flooding, holidays, schools ated with the recent flooding. He noted that while the fire department responded to scores of calls for help and was able to turn off electric and gas power for residents, by law it could not pump water from basements. He explained that EPA and DEC regulations forbid such pumping because it is not known what sort of contaminants people have in their basements. Later commenting, he said, "We took a lot of abuse." In chamber updates, Co-President Doris Duffy noted that the annual noli-

by Joan Delaney The Baldwin Chamber of Commerce, meeting at the Venice Restaurant on October 18. considered a range of items on its agenda as well as issues raised in questions and comments by individual members. Dr. Robert Britto, Baldwin's superintendent of schools was the guest speaker. Chamber Director Ralph Rose, also a member of the fire department, explained some of the problems associ-

day celebration will take place at the L1RR station on Sunday. December 4. with refreshments, entertainment and a visit from Santa Claus. Then on Sunday. December 25. the community menorah will be lighted. That menorah has been restored after last year's vandalism. Efforts continue to attract new business to Baldwin. Ms. Duffy described the process of trying to .match' a company's requirement with existing properties. "We haven't had a match yet. but we'll let you know when there's a wedding." The chamber is contributing $300 to a fund to replace the tattered flag at Sunrise and Grand Avenues. It is also investigating signs, hoping to erect a permanent sign at the LIRR trestle with a system thai includes technology to allow the message to be changed remotely. A drive to attract new members continues. Sam landiorio noted that 20 years ago the chamber had 300 members. The goal is to sign up at least five new members a month and also to encourage more active involvement by all members.

Continuing his commitment to go out to the community, Dr. Britto told the business leaders of Baldwin of his goals for educational improvement. Outlining the I message he had earlier described as one a. which would be "constant and consistent to everyone." he developed its specifics with business-related analogies. Noting that a successful business "cannot always do things'the same way to or it will lose its edge." he spoke of changes in education and the need to KJ emphasize nol only the basics, but rigor- 8 •~/i ous thinking, creativity, imagination and flexibility in student learning. w Referring to the book "The World Is Flat." he described a future where globalization will allow other countries to a perform many tasks just as efficiently m and cheaper than America. He stressed 73 that while the academic world can seem artificial, the skills it teaches are transferrable to the business world. "Nobody gets paid to know the multiplication tables. They gel paid to know mathematical thinkina."

Nothing drives Lishan to do her very best than the knowledge that she will make her family, parents and sister proud. She receives full support in all of her endeavors from her base. They tell her to never settle or limit herself, When she has struggled with her confidence, her family has reminded her of all she has accomplished thus far. They are a key motivator in her life. Lishan is a member of the National Honor Society and the Renaissance Club, which celebrates high academic honors and consistent good attendance.

Lishan Jackson is an inspiring student to work with. She is clear-headed about her goals. She reserves an honored place for education in her life. Lishan is an honor student, community service provider, and supporter of her high school. Of her many activities, participating in DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) at Freeport High School is particularly meaningful. H Through this venture she has chosen to hone her leadership abilities, compete with other students in a positive forum and promote her skills as a student member. This year she will serve W as DECA president. Lishan is an example of someone on the look-out for the next great opportunity for enhancement. For Lishan, when opportunity knocks, she runs towards it heart and soul. She believes you cannot waste opportunity, particularly educational choices. Her upbringing in Jamaica proved to her the value of education. She lived in Jamaica until age 12. . She appreciated everything her parents provided so that she could, become, educated. For.achievers such as Lishan, paying for sclnx>Lhuyin£materials, attend 1 ing school each day-was necessary in Jamaica. Many.there have difficulty pursuing this goal. Education is not free. For that reason, having the chance to study in the United Slates is a gift to Lishan. She treasures these past years of high school. She understands and respects their value. She only wishes more of her peers shared her vision. She finds her peers can also be successful, but they allow

Lishan is also an athlete. She is co-captain of the lennis team and has served as manager of the basketball team for two years. Lishan wants to be a pediatrician. When I asked her what was appealing about this profession, she told me she admires her own pediatrician. She is curious about medicine and believes she will be very successful exploring a premed major in college. I look forward to continually supporting Lishan in all her endeavors in this, her .senior year. I wish her the best and feel proud to be a part of the beginning of many honors to come to her this year.

youth leader Megan Cullen of Freeport recently participated in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine (NYLF/MED) in Los Angeles, California. She joined 350 other high school students ftom around the country who have demonstrated academic excellence, leadership potential and an interest in a medical career. Throughout the ten-day forum. NYLF/MED introduced her to a variety of concepts in public health, medical ethics, research and general practice and included site visits to medical facilities and clinics. Students engaged in a simulation using problem-based learning, an educational method in which students were presented with a fictional patient's case history and had to diagnose and develop a treatment plan for the patient. "Megan Cullen may very well be the face of the future of medicine." said NYLF executive director Donna Snyder. The National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine creates a virtual classroom with hospitals, clinical facilities and healthcare professionals. By shadowing key personnel, these students had a great opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes perspective on a medical career. Timing is critical as young people explore their career paths, just prior to immersing themselves in college work. In addition to visits lo cutling-edge medical schools and clinical facilities, she had the opportunity to hear from and interact with leaders with the medical field. Students had up-close and personal contact with physicians, surgeons, researchers, scientists and medical educators as they went behind Ihe scenes to view these professionals at work.

*§atuTCot Let's idKe a look hack at .saiullot haaeball, so popular in Freeport in the earlv and mid-19.10s. before the days of Little League. ^ Hardly anyone could afford uniforms, there were no sponsors or no rookie, minor or major leagues. If you could play...you made the learn, if not you sat on the grass or became an umpire. In the village existed a loosely knit "league" of teams such as the Soulhside Midgets, Jack Deltz's Ray Street Aces, Bill Trainers Terrors, the Glacken Boys Cat's Meows. Sammy Pisicchlo's Baview Wildcats,'. Frank Musso's Baldwin Bombers and a gang of ringers from Turk's Island and Bennington Park aptly called the Diamond AC and Colored All-Stars. : The most remarkable part of the structure was that there was practically no adult supervision and all "rules" and schedules were adopted by mutual agreement and strictly adhered to. Some, fortunate participants like the All-Stars and AC wore spikes and at the very least parts of uniform...otherwise old clothes and sneakers made do. Most made the $1.95 Thorn McAns last for two summer's (by necessity) simply by purchasing slick on rubber soles for a dime. • r Plenty of vacant lots Playing diamonds both large and small were backed out of vacant lots (in those days there were plenty). Three of the belter remembered fields were on the sight of the now Northeast Park, the lot behind the old Hose 3 at St. Marks and Ray Street, and the intersection of

' remembered Mill Road and Hanse Avenue. Official Major League Baseballs could be purchased at Danzingers for $1.25, so obviously these were rare! Most of the balls were supplied by Tony Elar whose family owned considerable properly adjacent to the old Freeporl Stadium. Tony had the uncanny ability of keeping "over the fence" foul balls under his foot while gazing into the sky with a look of puzzlement until the zealous searchers gave up. His going rate was 25 cents for an almosl-new horsehide.

Bill Trulner and Bubs Moran could all hit the ball out of the Freeporl Stadium. Donny Abbott made the high school varsity as a freshman third baseman...Bill (CueBall) Clausen. Johnny Inglima and Tom (Buck) Sincller were mainstays of the hurling staff. In earlier years such as Bullets Willets, Happy Williams. Snooks Milchel, Dave Roberts and Frank (good field - no hit) Primavera performed locally. While sandlot baseball was positive.

To Try?

Heidi E. Warm

From Your Friends at

The next time you have the opportunity to try something challenging, (i.e. public speaking or entering a competition) and find your enthusiasm waning, seriously check the source of your avoidance. The great Dr. Albert Ellis, developer of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), might tell you...while well meaning...your parents over the years have set up a model of such perfection, in the eyes of You-the child, that it would be difficult at best (impossible at worst) to approach such a challenge. Were you to accept the challenge and fail to achieve "excellence," it could reinforce feelings of doubt and inadequacy. However, seen more positively, you took on a challenge which opens the gate and sets the tonS for further challenges, to be seen not as impossible or nightmarish, but better, an opportunity for growth, which is always ~good and from which is gained a healthy, ever-increasing self-knowledge. {Excerpted from Case Studies in Psychotherapy!

In his defense it should he noted (hat he was playing second base at the Hose 3 field in Bayview and a deep drainage ditch criss -crossed the keystone sack area. • George (Poski) Wilson could have tied Nick's record hut was mercifully spared only when Bubs Moran almost pummeled him to death with his catcher's mitt.

? remembered • Another- record of sorts was by a lean youngster named Charley (Van Mungo) Mchrmann. Van Mungo was a fireballer with the old Brooklyn Dodgers. Charley had great difficulty in finding home plate and set the unenviable record of nine walks, and three hit batsmen in the 12 men he faced. Van Mungo he was not. Manager Sammy Pisicchlo immediately "cut" Mchrmann and to the best of knowledge he did not surface again until after World War II. This was only a small segment of sandlot baseball during the Depression years...not much money, but a fortune in good, clean fun.

The first Freeport Historical Society was established in 1941 by Hilbert R. Johnson, Freeport judge and historian, with assistance from numerous other local civic-minded individuals. They then purchased the Daniel Raynor homestead, constructed in 1783 at South Main Street below Mill Road, for a museum. The intervening World War II years, and extensive damage to the building from a fierce 1944 hurricane, resulted in this society's demise. Efforts to reestablish a historical society resumed 20 years later, and on May 7, 1961. the first official meeting of our present Freeport Historical Society was conducted. A temporary charter, issued by the New York Slate Education Department just prior to that time, recognized W i l l i a m J. Kaland, Isabel H. Tree, K e n n e t h Vought, Edward Vasil and David K. Kadane and their associates and successors as representing a corporation for the purposes of securing, displaying and preserving artifacts and disseminating the history of Freeport's rich 1 and varied past. Negotiations to purchase our museum building at 350 South Main Street began during the summer of 1961 and before the year had ended, the society unofficially opened its doors to the public in spile of major repair and renovation being conducted. An •extensive Civil War collection of artifacts that Was loaned lo the society by its first president. William J. Kaland, marked the official grand opening of the Freeporl Historical Museum in 1962. Within five years, the museum

mortgage (secured through the benevolent action of several members) was satisfied through a major fund-raiser. An additional donation from the Freeport Rotary Club represented the final mortgage payment. A second fund-raiser, the Museum Restoration Fund, resulted in the complete renovation and restoration of the museum's exterior. The front porch was removed and replaced with the identical reconstruction of its original design. A rear structure support system, consistent with the building's architecture, was installed. Historically correct replacement of the windows was completed through a grant of c o m m u n i t y development funds. The museum's interior electrical and p l u m b i n g systems have undergone major updating. The main reception room is now a showplace, and room-by-room renovation has been completed. A sophisticated system of inventorying the society's irreplaceable assets - our photographs and artifacts - conducted i n i t i a l l y by the museum curator, is an ongoing project. In keeping with the 21st Century, the collection is being computerized. Four decades of Freeport Historical Society-sponsored a c t i v i t i e s have included a wide range of informative and e n t e r t a i n i n g programs. They include art shows, craft and antique fairs, reenactmenls, garden parties, and tours. Tours for fourth grade students in the Freeport schools are an important way to pass on our heritage to the younger generation. Twice a

The Freeport Historical Museum Located w i t h i n the hounds of the Raynor Historical Museum, the H building originated as a small baynan's cottage of the Civil War era. Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Horace Evans, ownw ers of 350 South Main Street for a half-century u n t i l its sale to the sociew ty, were responsible for the evolution of this simply adorned, six-plus room, four-level structure. Uniquely intact, with a poured concrete foundation, the structure contains both low and high ceilings and parts of the original hand-hewn beams are visible in one of its several attics. Dr. Evans was a noted professor of anatomy, writer of texts, and an innovator in several aspects of the sciences. Gertrude Evans was similarly renowned for her art and photography. 3

and was versed in anthropology and Egyptology. Many of their possessions are displayed throughout the museum to remind the visitor of the building's former owners' contributions to society and to the history of Freeport. The Main, or Reception Room, of the Freeport Historical Museum is reserved for artifacts special to Freeport's uniqueness, i n c l u d i n g a 1777 thirteen-slar flag,, the spinning wheel from "the oldest house in Freeport." and items pertinent to the Grand Army of the Republic as well as the American Revolution. An e x t e n s i v e map collection, vaudeville-era artifacts, waterfront memorabilia, period fashions, kitchen utensils, toys, transportation and communication exhibits, and entertainment aspects of historic Freeport are also on view throughout the museum. Genealogical and historical research is encouraged through the use of our library acquisitions. The museum is owned by the nonprofit Freeport Historical Society and is operated entirely on a volunteer basis by the Board of Directors, trustees and members. For further information you may email us at fplhistmus@juno.com

cased hardships When the Great Depression struck in the early '30s, Freeport Chamber of Commerce members cooperated by accepting scrip instead of money. Under this program, originated by Louis and James Botwin, the village issued certificates (scrip) which required a new halfcent stamp on 25-cent certificates each week or costlier ones for 50-cent and one-dollar denominations to make the scrip good. The stamps, sold at the Municipal

Building and elsewhere by volunteer salespersons, some of whom went from house to house, achieved two purposes. They not only eased the tight-money situation. but also provided funds for unemployment relief. A f t e r stale and c o u n t y aid to families of jobless persons was organized. the stopgap issuance of certificates which carried on them dated spaces for the a f f i x i n g of stamps weekly was d i s c o n t i n u e d .

tftc last IZ by Jack Rice 1987 With two snowstorms within five days of each-other in January, LIRR commuters were hit hard; most were carpooling to the city because the railroad was on strike. The village was in the process of selling the 10-acre Freeport Municipal Stadium site; numerous residents of apartment houses in northwest Freeport appealed to the village board to help prevent future robberies and muggings in the area. In May, Freeport was gearing up for its second annual Nautical Mile Festival. A Candlelight Peace Rally, commemorating Hiroshima Day and the dropping of the first atomic bomb more than 40 years ago, was held at Silver Lake in August.

Freeporters rallied and held a nostalgic picnic to "bring back the glory days of racing" at Freeport stadium. Mayor Storm informed them it was too late. Six residents filed a lawsuit to prevent the stadium's demise. In September, 14-year owners at The Leader Rhoda and Ira Keller bade farewell to the community. They noted, "We have left the paper in good hands," and described the new owners, Faith and Johannes Laursen and their children, Paul Laursen and Linda Toscano, as the role model of ethics to whom they turned when in doubt.

The Leader was established in 1935 «n although the newspaper did not begin 8 to cover Baldwin extensively u n t i l 1981. What was Baldwin like during the decade of the 1930s'? Local papers of that time describe a Baldwin which, in many ways, was vastly differenl from the community we now enjoy but, in many way. coincidentally similar. 1 In 1935 the Baldwin Fire Departmenl had just received permission lo conslrucl a new headquarters. Il demolw ished its small, old building which Q resembled a residential farmhouse and creeled a new facility which served for almost seven decades. Now, 70 years laler, its state-of-the-art headquarters has just been completed wilh the "new" 1935 building at its core. In 1932, the Woman's Advance Club, plagued by increasing regulation and rising costs in the midst of the Great Depression, gave the library, which it founded in 1919. to the school district so thai monies could be raised for its upkeep through taxes. This year we are enjoying the completion of the library's most recent expansion.

Statistics • What are the some of the statistics 4hat describe Baldwin in Ihe mid*1930s? The population was over 18,000 with 3.972 LIRR commuters, 4,225 homes: 4.882 post office slops; 337 stores, and 119 apartments housing 337 families. There were 89 LIRR trains serving Baldwin. The running time to Penn Station was 36 minutes. A 60-trip monthly ticket lo the city cost $11.22 and the cost lo Brooklyn was $9.02. A one-way fare was two cents a mile.

industry had been well-represented in town. The Heinrich Brothers built planes for the Army during the war and the old Orenco factory on Brooklyn .Avenue, owned by the Cox-Klemin Aircraft Corporation, was established. In addition to building seaplanes and training planes, it also built the first ambulance airplane in the United States In 1930, the Grumman company moved into that space, later emerging as the world-renowned Grumman Aircraft Corporation.

Baldwin's Growing Pains While the area was still extremely rural, urban problems were emerging. Car accidents were a huge concern with the local churches supporting the American Legion's Drivers' Safety Program. There were 337,000 people hit by cars in the nation in 1934, including 16,000 fatalities. There were 215 accidents in Baldwin and there was a big push to have a traffic light at DeMolt and Grand Avenues. Pollution was also a concern with testing of the bay waters to make-sure it was safe for swimming and fishing. Commuters were protesting proposed increases in the Long Island Rail Road fares. In advertising, the railroad tried to explain that its tax assessments were increasing by large amounts as they improved grade crossings. It indicated that it had not had a fare increase since 1918 while its costs were skyrocketing. A representative from a commuter association, speaking in Baldwin, called the LIRR "Cry Baby Bandits." Residents in Roosevelt were unhappy with participation in Sanitary District Number Two and questions of efficiency and cost were being raised. '

actresses of the time, including many former vaudeville performers. The Memorial Day Parade was already an annual event, and the American Legion provided American Hags to every classroom. Religious participation permeated society and there were eight Protestant. Catholic and Jewish congregations in town. There were pot luck suppers and numerous dinners honoring local leaders. , In his advertising, contractor Mervin Guenther was encouraging homeowners lo build a "Whoopee Room" in the basement. Baldwin seemed to be a microcosm of llje nation. Its citizens were struggling through the Depression and actively trying to revitalize the economy by working together, maximizing its resources and utilizing the economic benefits of the New Deal. Sunrise Highway was extended in 1929. a boon for car owners but a bust for the LIRR whose income for hauling freight declined as trucks took on that task. For the first time, people were eligible for personal loans up to $1.000 for one year without collateral. Three banks in Baldwin were successfully helping to revise local business and financial institutions took on an expanding role in influencing community life. There are only four names listed as members of the 1935 Business Men's Association which are familiar today the law firm of Thomas Dougherty and Louis Koch Insurance, whose building was'constructed in 1928. along with Wicks Florist and Terranova Farms.

The Common Thread As 1935 ended, a journalist, describing Baldwin, noted that his one criticism of the community was that he perceived a lack of cooperation. Everyone wanted cooperation, he stressed, but not everyone was prepared to cooperate to benefit others. Seventy years later, much is the same. We are still complaining about the LIRR rates: Sanitary District Number Two still doesn't please all of its constituents: residents still complain at c o m m u n i t y , meetings about traffic, congestion, and quality of life issues and local businesses still feel outside pressure and urge people lo "Shop Baldwin." Incorporation was voted down numerous times in the 1930s. That decision still affects Baldwin today and continues to be discussed though not pursued. Many of the niccties-ol weekly social activities are no longer the focus of community life. Though it is hard lo believe that people are busier today than ihey were during a time without many labor-saving devices, there seems to be less widespread civic involvement in 2005 than in 1935. Perhaps the greatest change, Inwoven is economic. From an era when people had lo be encouraged to apply for FHA loans for home improvements and home purchases, and from a lime when the working class population had lo be introduced lo the concept of a personal loan, we have emerged as a generation of credit card experts, very much attuned to (continued on page 35)

Community Life Commerce and Business . The 1933 Housing Federal Act (HFA) provided federally guaranteed loans thai were available through local banks.' Bank officials and business leaders went door lo door in an effort to identify properties which needed improvements and were eligible for home improvement loans and to encourage people lo assume loans lo buy homes, remorlgage their homes, or for developers to build new homes. During the first half of 1935. 57 homes were built wilh 200 new homes proposed for north Baldwin. Developers honored a variety of locals whose names arc familiar to presentday Baldwinites - Guenlher. Sprague. and Verity - all street names today. The FHA proved to be influential in jump-starting commerce and positively affected all the local building trades. Store owners, however, were still suffering the impact of the Depression and so business owners organized lo form a Men's Business Association. They instituted Saturday Trade Days with special sales lo attract shoppers, treasure hunts lo encourage people lo go into stores, and window display contests. Local papers, then, as now. encouraged people to "Buy Baldwin." Although Baldwin struggled through the Depression, each year saw improvements. In 1930. Plaza School opened and in 1933 the Cenlury Theater on Merrick Road showed its first movie starring Wallace Beery. Nunley's Carousel opened in 1939. Since World War 1. Ihe airplane

Community life was brisk. There were approximately 40 local organizations - civic, social, school-related, religious, fraternal, and political. The Republican Parly ruled and a primary day advertisement, which indicated the candidates supported by the local organization, slated. "No Promises of Jobs or Threats Made to Secure Voles." Despite the slock market crash and the Depression, stores carried a variety of inventory. Refrigerators cost $99.50. All the materials to build a garage cost $80 at Zaret Lumber. There were numerous car repair shops and an owner could have his brakes adjusted for 95 cents. There were many radio repair stores and beauty parlors as well as department stores, dairies and grocery stores. A strawberry layer cake cost 28 cents and two boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes were 13 cents. Family membership at a bathing beach club in the harbor was $25 for the season and tennis courts could be rented in north Baldwin for 50 cents an hour for a singles game and 60 cents for doubles. The high school graduated 150 students, but the increasing population could be seen 'in the 328 students graduating from the junior high school. In 1939 there were 10 classes without a Regents examination failure and the average grade was 94 percent. . Movies showed James Cagney in "G Men." Noel Coward in "The Scoundrel" and Marlene Dietrich in "The Devil Is a Woman." s i n fact Baldwin, like its Freeport neighbor, was the home of numerous actors and

THE LOOK OF BALDWIN began to change. The area by Sunrise Highway and Grand Avenue was fast-evolving. A new railroad train depot was built in 1917. In 1929 Sunrise Highway opened, becoming the major east/west route through Baldwin, alleviating some of the traffic on Merrick Road.

THE BALDWIN CLASS OF 1935 attended the "new" high school on Prospect Street and Pershing Boulevard which was constructed in 1927. That building eventually became' Baldwin Junior High School, called the "old junior high school" by many residents after Baldwin Harbor Junior high school was built. The "old" junior high school and Prospect'Elementary School were demolished in the 1980's; the property was sold and condominiums were built.

OPEN LETTER The Freeport Salvation Army Advisory Council We are in need of your Help & Assistance! We have all committed ourselves in some way, helping those in need! I have been affiliated with numerous undertakings over the years. I have been a resident and business owner with my family here in Freeport for almost 25 years. Here, as elsewhere, we put up with much. We thank God in all denominations for what we have, and we are thankful for all we manage to hold onto. I believe in strong Organizations in our Community of Freeport and surrounding areas, as well as our generous residence and business owners. For nearly ten years, I have been involved with The Freeport Salvation Army Corp. I strongly believe in all the Salvation Army represents. It takes devastations for some to see, The Salvation Army. That's not so! The Army is serving every day, right here in Freeport, and across this Great Land of ours, and beyond. Just a few blocks away The Freeport Salvation Army Corp. Facility is ready and willing to serve those in need and is doing so on a daily basis. Serving our Community, our Youth, our overwhelming Senior Center, and serving Hot Meals every day. For those that Spiritually are in need, our Chapel is always there. I have decided to pledge another year of dedicated service of myself as Salvation Army Advisory Council Chairman. While we pause to reflect on our community's response to the devastation south of us, in which we, The Council, have just donated large sums of monies raised from our fundraiser recently held to help Katrina victims. I need not have to remind all of our family members, friends, all of our Organization and all of our Corporate Friends that continue to give of themselves that we have people right here at home suffering and in need, daily! I ask you not to forget those less fortunate, not thousands of miles away; they may be our own Neighbors. Please, think of what you and your family have, and think of those that do not have.

THE FRIENDLY FARM ANIMALS - another sign of the change of seasons.

in . by Joysetta Pearse The municipal survey yof Freeport, conducted in 1937-38 by the National Youth Administration, indicates lhat population consisted of 5,050 white families and 282 "negro"' families. There were 750. families on public assistance. 630 individuals were unemployed, but not receiving assistance, and 237 were permanently unemployed, dependent upon relatives. Freeport's African-American residents lived in the area south of the Long Island Rail Road and east of South Grove Street (Guy Lombardo Avenue). (An exception was John F. Robinson, owner of a New York City newspaper. His family owned their residence at 29 Lillian Avenue). There were white households in the area where African r Americans were clustered: hut in threequarters of the village, the only AfricanAmericans in the area were live-in domestic workers. The Ku Klux Klan was .firmly entrenched in Freeporl in the 1920s and 30s. Their headquarters, in a converted barn behind the house at 211 Grand Avenue, was dedicated in 1927; Although they held their last public meeting in Freeport in 1933, their ideology influenced economic, social and politicalaspecls of the village for years. : The aforementioned John F. Robinson, was targeted by the Klan for' leading a campaign to politically organize African-Americans in Nassau County. He was sent a letter signed "K.K.K." that slated that the Klan did not intend lo intimidate the "negroes." but advised them against trying to seek, political representation. The Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church conference was interrupted by 16 Klansman. who marched up to the altar.

without hoods or robes; A speaker introduced himself as John Hamilton and attempted to defend the tenets of the Klan, explaining that they were not anti-Negro, anti-Catholic or anti-Semitic. They were just firm in 'their belief in racial purity, and totally 'against black blood mingling with white blood. One of the clergy asked if they were also against white blood mingling with black. At the conclusion of his remarks the Klansman made a $200 donation to the church's building fund. Notwithstanding the Klan influence,' the economic status in the AfricanAmerican enclave was diverse. Many were entrepreneurs. Joseph Colter owned a trucking company. According to his niece. Sarah Colter Tihbs, he delivered ice and coal in those days. His son. Vander Lee Colter, later established a construction company. Julius Horsey was a self-employed carpenter. Josephine Klinehance owned an employment agency, as did Joseph Anderson. A boardinghouse, at 42 Benson Place, was owned by Rebecca Sweeper. Anna.B. Maybenks owned a beauty salon, and her husband. Rev. George W. Maybenks. was a Methodist clergyman. Edgar Goodridge and Charles McLane were also entrepreneurs, a garage owner and a taxi service owner, respectively. Mr. Goodridge also owned a barber shop, and behind the barber shop he had a teen club where the local youth gathered to dance to the music of the juke box. Moxey Rigby was a young lawyer, in the '3()s. who later became the first African-American assistant district allor. ney in Nassau County and the first judge. The village employed a few African Americans, in the '3()'s. Anthony (continued on next page)

fcirfs Javortte ptaces from page 26 (he pond. Al my house I feel safe. " Nicky Crovella: Another thing I like about Baldwin is supermarkets because you can get Food there. You can gel vegetables and fruits. But I like fruiis the best. Kayia Byrne: I like to go to the park because they have slides, monkey bars, and swings. Miranda Zuniga: Milburn is (he best school I've ever been to. I really like Milburn field because it's so big and (here's so much room for anything you want (o do.

Americans in gpreeport from previous page Douglas and Medrick Barringlon were leams(ers (drivers of horse-drawn vehicles), Thomas Morris was in plant operations and Jessie Lee was a (ruck driver. This did not introduce a trend in official equal opportunity for employment. It was 1959 when the first AfricanAmerican teachers were hired in the Freeport School District. Pauline West Grissom taught third grade at Cleveland Avenue School. Ed Martin^ taught at Freeport Junior High School. (Reminiscent of the Klansman's sentiments, Mr. Martin recalls that when he was hired he was cautioned not to socialize with the while female teach-

ers.) It was not until 1962 thai the Freeporl Police Department hired Julius O. Pearse, the first African-American officer. The 1930 census cites a number of veterans among Freeporl's AfricanAmericans. Lawrence McCabe fought in the Spanish American War. George S. Anderson, Medrick Barrington. Joseph Colter. Cyril Hollingsworlh, Jessie Lee. Thomas W. Marcetle. Charles McLane. Thomas Morris, and Louis Smith were all veterans of World War 1. (George S. Anderson later became a fingerprint technician and the first AfricanAmerican hired by the Nassau County Sheriff's Department.)

Much of (he social life in the AfricanAmerican community was centered in (he church. But for those interested in temporal pleasures, there were night spots like Harlem Lights. Located on Sunrise Highway and Helen Avenue. i( was (he forerunner of (he Collon Club that opened clown the street in the late 4()s. The Cotton Club was later replaced by (he Celebrity Club. William Solomon Fowler, who was a young boy when his family moved to Freeport in 1937. recalls Mary's Little Kitchen as a popular place to eat. Freeport's Playland closed in 1937. but movies at the Pla/a. Grove and Freeport Theaters were areal entertainment.

from page 5 dents on North William Street noted. "We've been at this for years...We don't have any rights." Mr. Scannell referred to a community meeting he sponsored for area residents, along with town Councilman Anthony Santino. and Sanitation District Commissioner Jerry Brown. He said that the town had brought in numerous types of code enforcement officials in an effort to improve the situation. Referring to the use of properly by landlords, however. Mr. Scannell said that most areas which are zoned commercial do not require special permits. Commenting on those landlords who intentionally keep their stores vacant, he said that ultimately government cannot tell landlords what to do with their private properly. Other issues concerned speeding and traffic. Mr. Ribeiro described some of the criteria used by traffic engineers to determine the type of traffic controls needed. He said that they try to avoid "lollypop roads" where a series of slop signs are used. "After a while, drivers just breeze through them." He also noted (hat traffic lights "change the type of accidents," but don't completely eliminate accidents. Responding to a resident who said there had been 66 accidents at the intersection of Atlantic and Grand Avenues, he said. "When you look at the number of accidents, you also have to analyze what type of accidents occur. Generally at traffic lights, the accidents are rear end bumps." Commenting on the buttons at major intersections to activate traffic lights, he explained. "People don't understand. Those buttons increase the length of time for people to cross from 8-K) seconds which is sufficient for a car to 25 to 30 seconds for pedestrians." He used the analogy of an elevator. "When you push the button of an elevator, you don't just want it to open, you want it to open at the appropriate time. Thai's what the button does at a crossing. It affects the signal when il is appropriate." One resident remained dubious, saying. "Those buttons work? I don't believe it." Ms. Sedacca outlined seven different property tax exemptions, their applica-

tion process and criteria. All homeown- OJ ers, she stressed, are eligible for the STAR exemption but must apply to H receive it. That exemption is automati- c S3 cally renewable. a. The Enhanced STAR, on the other hand, is for senior citizens 65 or over O with a m a x i m u m household income of •o O $66.050. That exemption must be ST applied for each year, although arrangements can be made to allow the county a n n u a l access to intergovernmental computers to verify incomes and avoid a total re-application. H Both STAR and Enahnced STAR pro- IE grams are state programs with the m amount of the exemption determined tn through a complicated state aid formula. > This year Baldwinites will have a STAR D tn exemption of $1.277 and an Enhanced 73 STAR of $2.306. Both of the programs apply to school tax reduction. Ms. Sedacca called these programs "The only break you're ever going to get on school taxes." The other exemptions include: a senior citizen exemption for those whose adjusted gross household incomes is less than $32.400: a limited income disability exemption: a home improvement exemption: a veterans exemption, and a volunteer lire. EMT and ambulance driver exemption. Each of the seven exemptions has its own set of criteria and application process. Throughout the meeting. Mr. Scannell continued w h a t has been an acknowledgment of the cordial public relationship between him and Town of Hempslcad Councilman Anthony Sanlino. Despite his being a Democrat and Mr. Santino a Republican, (hey have worked together on such Baldwin issues as the retention of the First Precinct and the return (if the Nunley's Carousel. Commenting before the meeting on the campaign and the confusion that sometimes exists in people's minds regarding the several categories of gove r n m e n t a l jurisdiction, he told The Leader. "I hope people understand that I am r u n n i n g for re-elections as legislator for the County Legislature and Tony is r u n n i n g for re-election as (own councilman. I don't want people to i h i n k we arc r u n n i n g against each other."
