How Freeport weathered the great blackout Lights were quickly restored during the largest blackout in-4iistory thanks to the village-owned and operated electric utility and self-generating capacity at its two power plants. Using all available generating resources in the village, the Freeport-owned electric utility was able substantially to meet the electric needs of its customers throughout the two-day crisis. According to village officials, within eight minutes of the blackout, the utility had restored partial electric service with operation of its first generating unit. Two hours and 38 minutes later, Freeport Electric was generating 40 Megawatts (MW) of electricity from all available generating units at Power Plants 1 and 2. At the time of the blackout, Freeport Electric was supplying a

typical weekday summer afternoon peak of 54 MW through a combination of importing both hydroelectric power from the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and other market sources, and eight MW generated at Power Plant 1. The blackout severed all connections to imported power and interrupted service from the operating Power Plant I. Freeport directed the first power generated to essential .public services to maintain public health and safety, including police operations, traffic control, water supply, and sewage management. Throughout the crisis, the village Electric Department stayed in close and constant communications with the Mayor's office, the village Police and Fire Departments, Department of Public Works and members of the village

Emergency Management Team. This, effort not only ensured that critical electric resources were directed as needed to protect village-wide public health and safety, but also to high-priority customers with extraordinary health or life support equipment .needs. Following normal usage patterns, demand for electricity dropped through the evening, and by 12:30 a.m. Friday morning, Freeport Electric was. fully meeting the village's energy demand. Beginning at approximately 8 a.m. on Friday, as daily activities picked up and businesses began routine operations, it continued to deliver essential service to its 15,000 commercial and residential customers. As the village was capable of providing 40 MW compare to a typically summer weekday peak of 50-60 M W,

users were advised to limit their electric use?KResidents and businesses were requested to limit use to strictly neces- e sary appliances such as refrigerators and D. lights and to disconnect items that draw a large amount of electricity, including air conditioners, computers, televisions 00 c and other high use items until full power to could be restored.

Changing our way of thinking The Blackout of '03, as it has quickly come to be called, has been a rude awakening. Everyone suddenly realized that electric power cannot be taken for granted. Perhaps in the future, if a hurricane or terrorist attack occurs, we will all be better prepared. Experiences varied widely. Some saw heroes directing traffic, while others saw people driving aggressively and dangerously. Some barbecued happily in the back yard and had block parties by flashlight, while others had trouble finding a restaurant open. Some were lulled to sleep by crickets and cicadas, while others complained of dogs barking and loud conversations outside the windows they had to keep open because of the heat. Perhaps, each of us found both good and bad in the reactions of the people around us, and in ourselves. Hopefully, we learned new ways of coping.

It takes teamwork This week, your community newspaper publishes its annual back-to-school issue, which has been an especially challenging project under the circumstances. Without teamwork, it would be impossible, just as it takes teamwork, to educate our children. Our local schools, staff and students, are a team. In "cooperative learning groups" the goal is not "Who can be first?" but "Can we all master this?" Everyone brings some new way of looking at a problem to the table. And no one has really understood a concept until they have successfully explained it to another. Cooperative learning makes more students want to stay in school. Students learn to resolve conflicts in constructive ways, and practice leadership, decision-making, oral and social skills. Cooperative learning promotes self-esteem and psychological health as well as improving race relations. Another way to improve race relations is through bilingual education. And one of the most exciting findings about bilingual education is that both English and Spanish-speaking students do better in "two-way" bilingual programs in which they both learn in two languages. Both groups perform better on tests. Contrast that with English as a Second Language (ESL) students who may perform better in grades one to four but then fall behind in the upper grades, leading to a high dropout rate among Hispanic youth, according to a 1997 study published by the National Clearinghouse for Bilingual education. Look at a map again sometime. Half of this hemisphere is Spanish-speaking. Think of all the opportunities for our English-speaking children being doubled, if they can become fluent in both languages. Those who use ESL and bilingual programs as a way to achieve de facto segregation in education are not only cheating those they wish to exclude. They are cheating everyone else, too.

A SUMMER PLACE: One of the nicest places to be in Freeport during the summer months is the finely landscaped courtyard behind Village Hall, where we caught up with Mayor Bill Glacken recently. In addition to being a nice place to go for quiet, the courtyard is where a series of free summer concerts takes place. It's also a place for serious thought - a memorial to village employee (and Leader staffer) Jean Peters can also be found. photos by Drew Schofer.

jUSt Write toy jpan dolanoy AN ACADEMIC NEW YEAR The first day of school can be compared to New Year's Day, at least in one sense. Both days inspire resolutions but for most people those resolutions don't always see complete fruition. An indicator of the opportunities available to students as school begins is the wide assortment of notebooks and binders they own. There's nothing like an indexed binder and fresh, clean subject notebooks to give students the feeling of embarking on a new enterprise. A resolution to keep notebooks neat and current is often a first attempt to take control of the quantities of new information that will be presented and which must be understood and committed to memory. Many of the expensive and professional review courses warn, however, about taking too many notes. Some students attempt to transcribe every word, a process which frequently results in utter frustration. Like those business advisors who suggest that pieces of paper only be handled once, those who work with students preparing for big tests urge that material, be learned the first time. Notebooks

should not become handwritten replicas of textbooks or classroom lessons. Students must learn to outline and prioritize information. Everything cannot be saved to learn later because all that "later" begins to pile up. The second big resolution that most of us have all made as students is not to fall behind. This is particularly important in classes where each lesson builds on the information presented in the previous class. Mathematics comes to mind. As soon as students subscribe to the belief that it is all right to figure out a concept later, they are lost. It's like trying to climb a ladder with missing rungs. ; Some academic subjects are problematic simply because of the huge quantity of material which must be absorbed. The worst class for me was a senior year English literature seminar in college. Each Tuesday we would be responsible1 for having read a particularpiece of literature and for being ready to discuss it. At the conclusion of each Tuesday seminar, the next Tuesday seemed so far away. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday had academic demands of their own and so the inclination was to say that I would spend the weekend reading leisurely.

Of course Saturday and Sunday had their own distractions and so it was not infrequent that I would find myself on a Monday evening with a heavy volume of some classical writer on my desk. The worst was a Monday night marathon of trying to read Dickens' "Bleak House," aptly named. That event is probably why I tend to be obsessive about completing tasks with time to spare. The third resolution is the promise to focus. Pay attention; listen carefully; don't daydream; get the point of the class; ask questions if necessary. Learning is not television; it's not the time to be passive. You can't absorb ' knowledge simply by osmosis. Perhaps the most important and final resolution is to try to enjoy the process. Education today is a lengthy process that includes 13 years from kindergarten through 12th. grade. College is four years; master's programs and various certificate programs are an additional one year or more and then of course there are the numerous years for specializations. Education is truly a process where the journey is "as important as the destination because in reality there is no final

destination. While attaining a degree might appear to be the endgame, ihc reality is that we are all life-long learners. For some thai learning lakes a formal path - classwork, in-service education and continuing education courses. For all of us. the process of receiving new information, analyzing it and forming opinions is continuous. In formal teaching, educators speak of the joy of seeing the "ah ha" moment, when a light bulb - so to speak - goes on and a student understands a concept. For all of us. life should be an ongoing "ah ha" process. To some extent we are all an empty slate, the pristine notebook. We should always be ready to learn more, to question information, to discern more clearly, and to be ready to change the direction of our thinking thinking that might seem very comfortable. For many children, school will begin this September; for the rest of us. school is in session every day of our lives.

Baldwin board works swiftly by Joan Delaney The Baldwin Board of Education completed its agenda and discussion on August 13 at a meeting of less than one hour which could only be described as the swiftest public meeting of the school year. Deputy Superintendent of Schools Lee Chapman, sitting in for Superintendent Kathy Weiss, who was on vacation, outlined the success of the district's summer school program. There were 230 elementary level students in 17 classes and 425 secondary level students in 53 classes taking 31 different subjects. In the Baldwin Recreation Program, which receives some financial assistance from the district, there were 550 children along with 165 counselors,

aides, and supervisors. Dr. Chapman noted that Newsday columnist John Hildebrand had visited the high school to view classes in the Math A program and "seemed to be pleased by what he saw." A forthcoming column in the paper is expected. The board approved a contract with EDP for a computerized voting system for use at district elections. This program is the same used by Sanitary District Number Two and the Baldwin Fire Department in their elections. Residents will still vote the same way, with the traditional voting booth, but the voting records ("the books") will be computerized. Residents will sign in on a computerized pad that matches the signature with the signature on file. It was noted that "none of the people

who have worked on voting day will be pushed out," although some might choose not to work because of the computers. Eventually, it is expected that fewer people will be necessary. During audience questions, it was asked if this would allow the district to hold elections at multiple sites, but it was pointed out that although it could be done as far as the technology is concerned, it would be costly to have to provide voting booths and workers at multiple sites, a set-up which would also delay the final tally. The board approved the final school district and library tax levy, which will be $63,671,158. This is the amount of the annual budgets which must be raised through property taxes. State aid and a minimal amount of other income

finances the remainder of the school district's $81.6 million budget. The library budget is $2.6 million, with only about $200,000 in offsetting income, including only $9,000 in state aid. The board decided to continue for 2003-04 those priorities which they approved in 2002-03. They include an increase in the use of computers and computer technology in education, including better use of the wide area network; a commmitment to improving school tone and conduct; an emphasis on making the working environment a place where staff can anticipate a career; better communication with the community with a particular look at electronic communication and a continuation of the curriculum reviews in which specif(continued on page 27)

Village presses ahead with power plans by Jim Golding

In the aftermath of last week's blackout that affected more than 50 million r-i people including, for a brief period, Freeport, village officials at Monday's r-i board meeting praised the efforts of municipal employees in dealing with the 00 crisis and responded to a resident's complaint about lack of information to help a citizens. "I want to take this opportunity on 1 D behalf of the administration to say how H deeply appreciative we are of the job our municipal employees did during the W blackout," said Mayor William F. Q Glacken. He praised the employees in < the Electric, Police, Public Works, W Buildings and Water departments and W the Emergency Management Team. X "Everybody pitched in to get us H through this difficult situation - they did a magnificent job," he added. Also praising the village on its handling of the blackout was Eileen Weaver. "Freeport did a marvelous job," she said. "Nobody I know lost any food." Mrs. Weaver also noted some out-of-town visitors to her home, former Freeport residents, expressed praise for the village's efforts. One resident, Francis Cooper, urged the board to "explore broader ways to get the word out (to residents) to conserve power," and questioned why the village had experienced a rolling blackout. Mayor Glacken responded that he spoke on Channel 12 and that area radio stations also were contacted with public appeals to conserve energy. Locally, the recreation center had closed on Friday to O O

save electricity. Electric Department Superintendent Hubert Bianco said Freeport had full power from its own generators from about 2 1/2 hours after the blackout began until 8:30 a.m. Friday, then instituted rolling blackouts until 1 a.m. Saturday when LIPA completed repairs to its transmission line and the village could get back on the utility's grid. He added that, during the blackout, "everything was up and running," both the diesel and the turbine generators. "We were generating rolling blackouts because there was not enough power to supply the entire village," said the mayor. "That's why we are replacing the" present generators with state-of-the-art gas turbines." Following up on their complaints of two weeks ago about excessive noise emanating from several restaurants with outdoor music along the Woodcleft Canal, Frances Fusco and Nancy Caracciolo again demanded the village enforce ordinances against high noise levels and pressed the mayor on taking immediate action. "We will get compliance with our noise law," said the mayor, adding, "it may take some time to do it. There has to be a balance between the rights of property owners and business owners." He also promised that "We will come down very hard on people who violate excessive noise rules." Mrs. Caracciolo began to request an injunction against the businesses but the mayor would not hear of it. "We will enforce the code," he said. Trustees again heard from Vincent Greco, who voiced his continuing con-

cern with the PCBs in the soil at the proposed Plant 2 site and the possibility of contamination of local waterways. He also questioned the amount of contaminated soil to be removed and the concentration of PCBs in the soil. Mayor Glacken replied, "Whatever we are required to move in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency and state Department of Environmental Conservation." Mr. Bianco noted that he has been meeting on a continuing basis with EPA and DEC officials "to determine the width and depth we have to go." He said more than 400 soil samples have been taken to depths of eight feet. He also said there are "different concentrations of PCBs at different levels." Donald Anson expressed his concern

about-grade elevation work being done in the area of Roosevelt Avenue and Casino Street, and the possibility the contractor was "not complying with specifications" in doing the project. In response to Mr. Anson's statement,. Mayor Glacken said there is "more than one professionally acceptable" practice concerning this project. He said he would discuss the concerns with the Public Works Department director and the contractor. Linda Aksnes complained about a residential construction application approved by the Zoning Board for an irregular-sized property at 110 Irving Avenue and that she had not been informed about a hearing on the issue.

letters to the editor Remembering Jack To The Leader: I was so touched by your article in the July 24 edition of The Leader concerning Jack O'Connor. I was one of the persons who taught and served with Mr. O'Connor in the Baldwin Public Schools for many years, and always enjoyed his humor, sincerity and dedication to the district. It was a joy to realize that someone in the district noticed and appreciated his sensitivity, dedication and joy in serving the children, teachers and people of Baldwin.

Thank you from all of us that knew and cherished his contributions to the people of Baldwin. William J. Gordon

Tax Reform To The Leader: In the July 2 issue of The Leader Tom Suozzi and Kevin B. Kamen outlined several marevelous initiatives to help Nassau County to grow. Among them were: attract high-tech/high skilled industry, revitalize downtowns, build a Nassau County Ballpark.

OQ CD

If these initiatives were to become a reality, Nassau County would be a truly exciting place. However, to attract new businesses to Nassau we need to remove the blemishes which make it unattractive. These are the spectre of service cuts and property tax increases. A very promising possibility for the removal of these blemishes and "Making It Happen for Nassau" is an income tax on people's income over $150,000. Enough money could be raised to prevent further increases in the Nassau County portion of the property tax and services could be

maintained at the current level. An income tax is fair because it is based on ability to pay. People in the upper income brackets would not find a substantial increase in their tax burden because of cuts made in federal income taxes and the tax paid to Nassau County could be a deduction on their federal income lax. To the readers: 1 invite you to write to The Leader stating your opinion of my tax proposal for Nassau County as an alternative to cutting services and raising property taxes. Stanley Gitlleman

Baldwin Teachers Association - providing leadership OJ 00

by Joan Delaney

Vclcran teacher Mary Fallica assumed the reins of (he Baldwin Teachers Association (BTA) with the retirement of former president Elaine Dallari last ri June. "I attended a NYSUT [New York 00 3 Slate Unilcd Teachers) course for new presidents in Albany and have spent the summer reviewing the BTA archives. I -p want to preserve the wisdom of the asso3 .e ciation and share it with the membership,'' she noted. Speaking of the Albany workshops, Ms. Fallica discussed the suggestion thai Q new presidents help set several realisable goals Ibr the association for the year. Speaking of the achievements of U4 her immediate predecessors - Ms. H Dallari. Amy Gepes, and Tony Lombard! - she said that many of the teachers new to the district might not know of the history of the association and its past accomplishments. Referring to the apparently cordial relationship between the BTA and the school district, Ms. Fallica affirmed that the association "docs not advocate provocative public confrontation." She added, "All the stakeholders (board, administration and teachers) know thai that kind of confrontational posturing benefits no one and leaves a legacy ol hostility. That is not to say that there an no disagreements and problems." Sh( noted that contract negotiations in tht past have "sei/.ed upon issues and prolo; cols for creative problem solving...Then are needs on both sides but there is nc need Ibr people to become nasty anc indexible." This kind of relationship will be par ticularly important since the teachers contract is up in June and serious nego tialions will probably begin in January This past school year, the teachers hav< worked under a rollover one-year con tract. While some people question why pro lessionals need a "union," Ms. Fallic; noted that teachers are "academic labor ers. Whether you call it an association o a union, the goals are (he same. "We are an organization that seeks t advocate and speak for the interests am needs of our members and tries to ensur fairness at the workplace, including a equitable contract." But the association's concerns are nc simply about finances. "Teachers war to be consistently involved in the mak ing of decisions that affect professions advancement and development." Sh stresses that "This role of mutual arlicu lation is not one for which, teachei should have to feel grateful." For example, Ms. Fallica noted In importance of making the school distru a place where people can expect to hav a career with room for development an acknowledgement of a job well don< After six or ten years, she noted, lead ers understand a district's history an culture and have mastered their craft. I addition, a district has also invested i that teacher. It is important that there b a commitment and a process thi encourages teachers to stay. Discussing some people's income perception of teachers, Ms. Fallic stressed the kinds of activities teache: are already involved in that include r extra remuneration or else nomin, stipends that really don't reflect the tin commitment. O O

!_"

"On a typical Wednesday, when various department meetings occur, a teacher might arrive at 7:30 a.m. and still be at school at 5:30 p.m." She noted that it is not unusual for teachers to be in school after school hours and after extra-help commitments working on lessons or researching materials. "At the middle school alone, there are nine committees which include teachers and they do not receive any extra money lor the time they put-in." She noted that many teachers agree to provide home tutoring even though the salary they receive is far less than they could get for private tutoring. Comparing a teacher to a lawyer, Ms. Fallica said that class preparation by a teacher might be likened to the preparation of a brief by a lawyer. "What you see in the courtroom and what you see in the classroom are only a small portion of the preparation and work of the professional." Expanding on how leaching has changed over the years, ,Ms. Fallica immediately said, "documentation." The lime necessary to complele required

paperwork oflen culs inlo class preparation time. Giving an example, she noted thai a leacher on hall duly might stop a studenl for a pass and a sludent might continue to walk by. That situation might then

result in disciplinary action - all requiring paperwork, talks with deans, etc. Speaking of ihe input of teachers, Ms. Fallica said that teachers served on a (continued on page 26)

Freeport schools look back with pride, forge ahead with hope

As (he Freeport School Dislricl prepares lor the.new school year, it is a fitling lime to acknowledge the achievements of last year, and lo assess how these achievements will serve as the building blocks for continued growth and planning in the 2003-2004 school year. Physical improvements The most obvious physical signs of accomplishment were the completion of a major addition to the Freeporl High School this past fall, and the opening of the new New Visions School in January of 2(K)3. Significant renovations and additions were completed .il the other three magnet schools and at < 'olumbus Avenue School and infraslructu. • work was completed at Dodd Middle School. Also this year, fifth and sixth grade students can look forward to the opening of a new library at Caroline G. Atkinson School.

Academic achievements The results of the district's ongoing work to align stale standards, curriculum and instruction were extremely positive. During the 2002-2003 school year the district initiated many new programs and slralegies that paid off in higher performance on New York Slate Assessment Tesls. Individual School Improvement Plans, in-dislrict analysis of sludenl data, one-on-one tutoring, homework clubs, Saturday academies, Kaplan Test preparation programs, ELA Computer Clubs, small group instruction and practice testing were just some of the tools that were put into use during the 2002-2003 school year. As a result, all four elementary

schools maintained previous high levels of achievement or significantly improved achievement on the New York State fourth Grade English Language Arts (ELA) Assessment Tests. Archer Street School achieved a 53% increase in scores, Bay view Avenue improved performance by 33%, and Giblyn School posted a 53% improvement. New Visions School was up one percentage point from its 66% improvement in 01-02. AH four schools were honored by the state as most improved school in eilher malh or ELA, based on sludent performance on fourth Grade Assessment Tesls. Equally encouraging, Dodd Middle School Students demonstralcd a 73% improvement in performance on the eighth grade ELA exam. In the coming year, the district will continue to expand existing programs and develop new programs to improve student performance and meet state standards in all subject areas, wilh .specific emphasis on malh achievement. Building a Vision "The vision of the Freeporl PublicSchools is to inspire in all the desire to learn and succeed. Our schools will be safe learning communities that celebrate our achievements and encourage active partnerships with families and the entire community. We will empower sludents to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the future." This Vision Statement, which was officially approved by the Freeport Board of Education in June, was the result of a joint effort of 120 parents,

teachers, administralors, support staff and community members, who came together over the course of several months to discuss community values, beliefs about learning and dreams for the children of Freeport. It will provide the umbrella for a community-wide strategic planning effort set to begin in September. Partners in Education To celebrate the value we place on

community support, the district is planning a First Day Celebration, which will include a barbecue, for Freeport Schools' staff, families and community on Wednesday, September 3, from 2-7 p.m. The 'opening day of school. September 4, has been designated "Take Your Parents to School Day." Parents will be welcomed with refreshments, offered information and treated to {continued on page 26)

A message from Dr. Kathy Weiss On "behalf of the district administration, staff, and myself, I would like to welcome all of you back to a new year of learning and wonderful opportunities. I would also like lo welcome 40 new staff members, the principal at Brookside School, the- interim Director of Health Education, Health Services, Physical Education and Athletics, and the Assistant Superintendent for Business and Administrative Services. In addition to continuing all of the programs and 'activities that were in our schools last year, this year there will be many new and exciting programs. There will be Saturday classes for elementary and middle school students lo assist them with test-taking strategics. New courses in communication and computer application will be taught in ll:e middle school. At the high school, there .vill be additional computer, dance, fashio.i and Advanced Placement courses. This year's cyclical reviews will be conducted in Art K-12, Social Studies K-12, Library Media and Research Skills K-12, and Technology 7-12. Reports will be made to the Board of Education during public meetings throughout the year. This is the ninth year that curricula have been

reviewed cyclically to ensure that our programs meet the needs of our students and the standards set by the State Education Department.

Dr. Kathy Weiss The Baldwin School District has participated in -school-to-career programs for many years with Mercy Medical Center, Hofslra, Jones Beach Stale Park, Junior Achievement and State Farm Insurance Company. This year, we expect that Citibank will also be part of the program. These diverse companies offer our students real world work experience, learning about

a career in which they have an interest by shadowing a professional in the workplace. We are always looking for additional businesses to participate in this program. During the past year, our district technology was greatly enhanced by the expansion of e-mail service and the addition of Listservs. Parenls and members of the community can join Listservs on the district website, www.baldwin.kl2.ny.us, based on their interest. Community members can receive electronic copies of "Inside Baldwin" as well as review the Continuing Education Catalog and several Board of Education policies pertinent to student success. I would like la thank the members of the Baldwin community for their continued support. The passage of the 2003/04 budget by a large .margin demonstrated that the education of our children is a priority shared by parents and other residents alike. As much as I don't like to see the beautiful summer days come -to an end, I am always excited about the promise of a new year and the traditions that make Baldwin a special place.'

Great blackout from page 3 In order to maintain a consistent and reliable level of service until the village. could restore its interconnection with the LIPA distribution system, the utility implemented scheduled and controlled rolling blackouts. During these periods portions of the village would lose electric service for a one-hour period. When power was restored that area was assured of a minimum of two hours of service, though typically service continued for 4-5 hours. This process continued as needed into Friday night until connection with LIPA was restored at 1 a.m. Saturday morning. "There was an admirable level of cooperation and communication between the all the village Departments," stated Mayor William Glacken. "This cooperation made Freeport a safe and comfortable haven in the vast sea of darkness around us. If Freeport did not have its own generating units, it would have remained dark until 1 a.m. on Saturday when the LIPA serv.ice was restored to our area. "More so," added Mayor Glacken, "this outage highlights the critical importance of our Power Plant 2 generation project. Once the new dual fuel turbine generation project is constructed and passes environmental and acceptance testing, and the old Power Plant 2 diesels are decommissioned, Freeport will have enough generating capacity to

Woodward: police response 'well coordinated' Freeport Police Chief Michael Woodward reported that the department was "overwhelmingly well coordinated" last Thursday and Friday during the blackout that affected major East Coast cities including all of New York City and its outlying suburbs. The most significant problem the' department faced was the lines for gas at almost all of Freeport's gas stations. Since Freeport was able to restore some of its power Thursday night with Only rolling blackouts, residents from its neighboring villages traveled into Freeport to get gas. Chief Woodward reported that cars were stuck in long lines for gas stretching into nearby avenues and blocking traffic. By the next day, however, restoration of power throughout much. of Long Island allowed gas pumps to come back into service in many other towns.

meet this summer peak demand without support from the LIPA distribution system and out of village sources. The need for both the village turbine and the proposed merchant project to be co-located at Power Plant 1 to serve the LIPA region has never been clearer." The new generation will offer 74 MW of capacity-. Hubert Bianco, Superintendent of Electric Utilities, commended the working staff of Freeport Electric. "Immediately, our operators and line crews returned to the utility to help where needed. It is a time-consuming and meticulous process to bring all the generating units on line and to reestablish electric service. These hardworking men and women worked through the night, some for as much as 30 hours to serve their community, neighbors, families . and friends." After power was restored to neighborhoods, line crews continued to service individual homes experiencing service difficulties. In addition to ensuring the comfort and safety of residential and business customers, the immediate restoration of power provided additional benefits to residents of Freeport and neighboring communities such as open gas stations with operating gas pumps and stores open and able to provide food, batteries and other supplies, according to a press release issued by Freeport Electric.

Surviving Freshman year by Eddie Eng, student intern For the recent high school graduates who are entering freshman year of college with no "familiar" friends or acquaintances, fitting in can be lough. Sitting alone in your quad-space dorm room with three strangers from locations other than your own, or even stales other than New York, is surely a siluation one would want to avoid. Alas, freshman year can he survived. Incorporating personal experiences, I have devised four simple methods of making friends, keeping (hem, filling in, and ullimalely, not gelling heat up during your introductory year. For your pleasure, I have organi/.ed the four methods into lv> .> to four leller words or abbreviations i\ •• easy memorization for those desperate limes.

Bittersweet victory by Nadia E. Harris As I approach my senior year of high school, all of ihe cliches from past valediclory speeches come lo mind. Those statements about "bitlerswcel viclory" and "unforgellable moments" all make perfect sense now. Also, some of the emotions that past seniors never expressed (nervous anticipation, anxious waiting and constant readiness) become more intense as the weeks before the beginning of the school year inch along. I am very excited about the events and aclivilies lhal I will finally be able to lake part in as a senior. However, I am more excited about planning for success in the future. The beginning of the school year will consist of a series of endless essays and applications. It is sure lo be a tedious process, but, surprisingly, I look forward to it. I am finally at a point in my life where my dreams are truly at my fingertips. So I figure, filling out a few college applications is just the beginning of an arduous journey to achieving a priceless triumph: SUCCESS. Just as planning for the future is a huge part of senior year, so is reminiscing upon the past. I can remember the first day of school in almost every grade. I remember the first day of fourth grade, when I wanted to be in my best friend's class so badly that I actually followed her class into their classroom. I remember the first day of seventh grade, when Mrs. Marcus terrified me with her rules.and straight talk, then calmed me down wilh a seleclion from Beethoven's fifth symphony. I remember the first day of ninth grade, when I sat on a piece of gum in homeroom and had to walk around like that for the rest of the day. I remember how, in many instances, the bad seemed to outweigh the good. However, as I look back on it, I can't help but smile. The thing about the approach of senior year is that it's really an indescribable feeling. The rush of so many different emotions at once can seem, at times, overwhelming. I look forward to my senior year and all of the ups and downs that I will experience. I look forward to dressing up on Halloween, doing wacky things for Spirit Week, and attending my senior prom. I look forward to the "unforgettable moments," the ones that I'll reminisce upon as I approach my freshmen year of college. I also look forward to the "biltersweet victory" of graduation, the end of one chapter in my life and the birth of a whole new one.

Method I: DVD. My first year was just as nerve-racking as any other freshman's, but I found that having something to do is vital. What wastes more time than two to three hours of moving images'? DVDs, played very loudly on a decent TV, attract quite a crowd. I've found classic movies (not too classic, unless you notice your neighbors are "artsy" folks) are rnosl effective; "Office Space," "Wayne's World," "The Matrix," "The Simpsons" DVD Box Sets, and the "Back to the Future" DVDs seem to grab the most attention due to their (lair and simplicity. Avoid DVDs that require previous episodes or movies to understand, i.e. "The Sopranos" DVD Box Set; the friendship will soon turn ugly when your audience requires background information every four minutes about the previous episodes in order lo enjoy the episode at hand (speaking from experience). Method 2: CS. While "CounterStrike," a militaristic simulation video game played on personal computers, has been around for quite some lime, it

Surviving Freshman year from page 15 remains an easy if not the easiest method & for geeks and nerds to bond. Whether you are joining a network of players or creating a network for others to join, r-i remember to advertise it either audibly or visually. This gives you a chance to (N scout a person's room to look for any indication of a nerth Sci-Fi posters, high 00 end computers, white water-proof tape3 enforced black rimmed glasses, etc. If you're daring enough and see someone playing, challenge them; playing an opponent will entitle you to a second H interaction, a re-match for example. Be careful, you want to compliment and O! LU comment, not irrilale and annoy. Stick Q to statements like "I never would've < LU done that" or "Wow, that was a. nice J move!" Avoid slaUmcnts such as "That UJ was a stupid thing to do" or "Watch out! rr Over there! No no no!" H Method 3: FOOD. Like the wild beasts of nature drawn to the scent of their prey, nourishment - free nourishment, to be more precise - attracts even the hardest to reach college students. Anything from an open bag of Cheez Doodles to delivery Chinese food can be used to start a conversation. Try to resort to things that can be "stolen." With open bags of snacks and dip, you will soon hear, "Hey, hook me up with some of that" by neighbors, friends of neighbors, and even complete strangers. Cooking for your dorm neighbors also boasts easy friendships. Like before, remember to advertise with a ilyer or banner in the hallway announcing a dinner get-together at least a week in advance. If possible, ask for aid from an authoritative figure like a resident advisor. Otherwise you'll be known as the "weird kid who offers people food." Now. with food in mind, we lead to the most important possession a freshman student can possess and the most reliable way to meet friends...

Method 4: CAR. Owning a car is the best method to make friends. While a car may be unnecessary for on-campus travel, off-campus provides a whole new world with food, entertainment, and other activities. Plan a day to go to the mall or supermarket, and see if your neighbors would like to go with you. Try to make the invite ambiguous; the best approaches begin with "Yeah, I need from . In fact, I'm about to head out there now, would you guys want to go?" Find locations off campus where time ean be spent, like a bowling alley, pool hall, theaters, malls and supermarkets. Another great aspect of the car is that once people are aware you have one, the "friends" will start coming to you, asking for a ride to the most far reaching locations. Try not to be a picky person about the car; locking the windows, stating there shall be "no eating in my car," and the famous "Watch the leather!" tends to force your targets to look elsewhere for transportation. On the other hand, don't hesitate to ask for gas money, it's just common courtesy to reimburse the driver for his hardship.

ships; certain people don't deserve your time, so be aware of the ones to avoid. In the end, the best friends are the one? to whom you can relate, mutually help, and, most importantly, borrow money.

It's not hard to meet friends in college, but it's not easy. The key is to relax, and be extra nice. The more people you know, the easier college gets when you're in a rut, but don't force friend-

FFD responds to blackout The Freeport Fire Department was immediately pressed into action on a number of fronts. Since the entire village was blacked out, Director of Emergency Management Richard E. Holdener activated the new Emergency Operations center. This was the first time it was utilized in a crisis situation. Assistant Chief John Maguire ran the Fire Department operations out of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) until the generator for Fire Headquarters was confirmed as operating. This gave the Fire Department two locations to operate from in the event the problem escalated. The Freeport Fire Department went into a standby mode and responded to a total of 43 alarms between the time of the blackout and 1:30 a.m., when the Fire Department went off standby. A total-of 106 firefighters were standing by in their respective fire stations. The alarms ranged from assisting civilians with life support equipment to people trapped in elevators. The Freeport Fire Police assisted the Freeport Police at various intersections to help direct the heavy volume of traffic. Director of Emergency Management Richard Holdener commented, "Being that this was the first event for the new EOC, all went well. Every agency in the village worked up to expectations. A great job

3 Sporting Devils by Linda Hendrickson The 2003-2004 interscholastic season is about to begin and athletes are gearing up for some exciting competition. Freeport's fall athletes may participate in girls' swimming, girls' volleyball, girls' tennis, cheerleading, girls' and boys' cross country, girls' and boys' soccer, football and junior high badminton. Football begins August 18 and all other varsity and JV sports begin August 25. All varsity, junior varsity,- and junior high athletes must present a signed permission slip to the health office at the high school and then complete a school physical in order to legally participate in any sport. Some athletes completed the process in June. However, the school doctors will be available to give physicals to any student who still needs one before the season begins on August 25 and 26 from 9-11 a.m. No appointment is necessary. According to the American Journal of Health Promotion, "Students who exercise weigh less, have lower levels of blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, and have lower blood pressure than nonexercising students. Exercisers also miss fewer days of work. "Students who play sports have a more positive body image and experience higher states of psychological well-being than students who do not play sports." Teenage female athletes are less than half as likely to get pregnant as female non-athletes (5 and 11 percent respectively) and women student-athletes graduate at a significantly higher rate than women students in general, according to the Women's Sports Foundation Report: "Sports and Teen Pregnancy," May 1998. Adults must juggle jobs, families, and home obligations; thus proper timemanagement skills are essential. Sports help athletes learn these important time management skills in their lives.

Local poets The Long Island Arts Council at Freeport, in cooperation with the Town of Hempstead, recently sponsored a "Celebration of Poetry." Local students who participated included Tommy Cadet, Tim Gauss and Gregg Stoddard from Baldwin Senior High School and Raquel Corona, Krystal M. Ortiz and Xsabeida L. Ramirez from Freeport High School. Mr. Stoddard received an honorable mention at ceremonies that were held at the Nathan L.H. Bennett Pavilion in Town Hall, Hempstead.

Dr. June L. Owen Robert Zifchoch, Freeport's Athletic Director, hopes that fall athletes learn these important time-management skills while distinguishing themselves as responsible athletes and dignified champions. He also wants more students to get involved in the various sports programs.

Columbus Avenue School has new assistant principal The dog days of summer were in evidence at the Freeport Board of Education meeting of August 13, as a small crowd watched the board work through a relatively small agenda. The board announced and approved the appointment of Vernex S. Harding as the new assistant principal of Columbus Avenue School, a probationary appointment effective August 25, 2003 through August 24, 2006. In discussing the appointment, School Superintendent Dr. Eric L. Eversley mentioned that the new administrator is a former education director at Community District 5 in New York City, and was one of four persons interviewed after a screening process described as "rigorous." The board officially established the tax levy for the 2003-2004 school year. The gross amount (district expenditures) will amount to $105,195,417 for school purposes and $4,492,291 for library purposes. The net amount (the amount raised by taxation) will amount to $63,819,662 for school purposes and $4,341,449 for library purposes. This announcement elicited a comment from resident Alan Jay during the public

questions portion of the meeting. Mr. Jay likened the budget process to a python, squeezing the life out of the taxpayers of Freeport. In other business, board extended its current contract with Laidlaw Transit, Inc. from July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2006. The board also accepted bids from Laidlaw Bus of Hicksville and Suburban Bus of Bellmore for various handicapped and private school bus routes for the 2003-2004 school year. The board approved the Committee for Special Education (CSE) and Preschool Special Education (PSE) meetings for the follow!..'• dates: June 4, 19, and 20, and Jul> 17 and 24. Salary increases and , uts were also approved for a group of 6 . confidential employees. It was explained that confidential employees are school district employees who are not part of the union bargaining unit because they have access to confidential information - hence the name. The next Freeport school board meeting will take place at the Administration Building boardroom at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 20.

Baldwin teachers :

from page 10

committee as long ago as 1992 when the high school was preparing for ils Middle States accreditation. "School tone was discussed then," she said, "and we are pleased by the increase in professional security and deans for each grade level at the high school. Every .teacher and every student has the right lo be in a secure environment." Another process that has been finetuned with input from teachers is that of evaluations. While it might be appropriate for beginner teachers to have traditional classroom assessments by building administrators^ longtime experienced and master teachers need something more. In Baldwin, in addition to regular assessments, 'hew teachers receive the help of master teachers who mentor them. There is peer coaching and the most experienced teachers are able to develop personal professional development plans which are reviewed and approved by the administration. This allows experienced teachers to analyze their own teaching and suggest strategies and goals for improvement. According to Ms. Fallica, it allows teachers who are already excellent educators to "become reflective practitioners." Perhaps the most important change in education for this teacher who began her career in Baldwin as a student teacher in 1970 is that "Students come to us already beleaguered and burdened with the distractions of a competing culture. We're being asked to bring them back...to learning, to thinking of character and values. We have a lot of needy students who are being entrusted with the care of younger siblings...We have kids being shuffled between changing custodial situations." But optimistic and positive, Ms.

Fallica added. "The kids in Baldwin are wonderful. They are underrated anil the schools are underrated. They accomplish wonderful things." But it is harder for teachers than ever before. "We are competing against very negative role models in society. Regents track classes are heterogeneous and we have to use varying techniques and strategies to engage as many students as possible in the learning process.'' Unlike what many people think, Ms. Fallica pointed out, "Teaching is riot simply standing in front of a class and delivering a lecture." Pleased to have spent her teaching career in Baldwin and still enthused about teaching, Ms. Fallica said, "Teaching has never been an easy career. It's a wonderful job but it's demanding." Adding to the pressure is:r the fact that "It is a litigious society...we feel that...we chafe under that...everything requires a paper trail." For the future, Ms. Fallica speaks of perhaps sending a special BTA newsletter several times a year to the community to complement the regular award winning newsletter that is sent to teachers. She speaks of the desire of teachers to make their students discerning citizens in a media world that is filled with so much incorrect information. She adds that she would hope that her term of office would be one that not only helps to enhance education for students but helps further expand opportunities for the professional development of teachers. According to BTA by-laws. Ms. Fallica, who has served, as a BTA vicepresident for eight years and who started as a building representative 20 years ago. will complete the remaining one year of Ms. Dalian's term of office. Regular BTA elections will take place next year. Ms. Fallica's daughter is now also a teacher.

school fairs, rallies and parades. They will get a chance to visit their children's classrooms and talk with teachers and administrators. Similar celebrations will take' place at Freeport High School on Thursday, August 28, at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Community Consensus The district invites the entire community to continue to be involved in the education of the children of Freeport. Through the building of a visible consensus about the value of education, our

community can express the expectation that each and every child will put forth his or. her best effort in school and in life. Looking back on last year, Freeport's parents, teachers, administrators, community volunteers and, of course, students can all be proud of such.a successful joint effort. Looking forward to the new school year, it is the goal of the Freeport district to build on these achievements through the continued caring, hard work and involvement of the entire Freeport community.

well as some policies which havebecome obsolete because many of the items in them are now specifically defined by law. The first day of school for students will be Wednesday, September 3. The next regular public board meeting will be on September 10 at 8 p.m. at the District Office. Dr. Chapman also announced that County Executive Thomas Suozzi has reserved the use of the high school auditorium for a special presentation on economic development. -This will take place on Wednesday, September 17, from 7-9 p.m. with time for audience questions. Mr. Suozzi has given numerous presentations on this subject to reflect the county's commitment to a six-point plan to raise revenues by maximizing the use of space. During the summer, Mr. Suozzi appeared in Oceanside and gave a presentation that focused on Oceanside and Baldwin Harbor. Prior to the evening presentation, Mr. Suozzi generally participates in a bus tour of the area so that he is personally familiar with the parcels of business and commercial property that could be better utilized.

from page 5 ic areas are studied with a view to better meet student needs and State Education Department standards and requirements. The board approved a $350 fee for the Baldwin Fire Department so that an ambulance and EMT will be at all varsity and junior varsity football games. Dr. Chapman announced that high school student Ashley Provenzano won the Kimberly-Clark/Pathmark "Brag on a Flag" design contest. The winner was selected through Internet voting and Ms. Provenzano garnered the most votes. She has won a prize of $2,500 and the school receives a matching $2,500 for the art department. Residents may see the winning entry on the Pathmark website. Contestants were asked to create a design, that described their favorite part of the Pathmark Multicultural Arts Festival that celebrates diversity. Ms. Provenzano's work has a Japanese motif with a delicate depiction of two women in traditional dress and a vivid red sun in the center. The board also reviewed several district policies which will be updated as
