Will Freeport receive aid?by Joan Delaney
Standing shoulder to shoulder atChurch Street and Sunrise Highway inFreeport on April 1, Mayor WilliamGlacken and Nassau County ExecutiveThomas Suozzi spoke of renewed effortsto secure Empire Zones for NassauCounty to assist in economic develop-ment. "There are 72 in the state, in 55counties; there are three in Suffolk, tenin New York City and there are zero inNassau County. It's a question of fair-ness," said Mr. Suozzi.
Nassau County is seeking EmpireZones for six non-contiguous areas inthe Town of Hempstead, includingElmont, Franklin Square, Inwood,Roosevelt, Uniondale, and WestHempstead as well as New Cassel,Bethpage, the City of Glen Cove, theVillages of Hempstead and Freeport.
In Empire Zones companies which are .increasing then- employment are givenincentives and are able to operate ajmost"tax free" for up to 10 years with othersavings on a declining basis in years 11through 15. Companies are eligible forsales tax exemption, real property andbusiness tax credits. The zones, whichmust be approved by the state Legisla-ture, are intended to encourage new pri-vate sector investment and assist in jobcreation and economic expansion in
underserved, and in many cases, minor-ity communities.
Mitch Pally, the Vice-President ofLegislative and Economic Affairs at theLong Island Association, noted that thecreation of Empire Zones for NassauCounty has been his group's top legisla-tive priority for two years.
During a questioning period, Mr.Suozzi was asked why local legislatorsshould assist him after his recent criticalcomments about some of them in thenews media. Mr. Suozzi shrugged andsaid, "I hope their personal feelingswon't interfere."
Mr. Pally quickly -walked to themicrophone to add, "This is not aboutTom Suozzi. This is an issue forRepublicans, Democrats, Independents,and Conservatives. Nassau County isbeing hampered by an inability to grow."He added, "They have said 'no, no, no.'"It's time to say 'yes' to Nassau County."
Freeport revitalizationMayor Glacken spoke of the need for
traditional aging downtown - areas to"constantly revitalize." He referred to aJune 18 target date for groundbreakingfor,the long-awaited development onSunrise Highway which will renovatethe old bank building and create 25,000square feet of new retail space as well as224 rental apartments on the adjacent
space.'That development plus 'the rieaibyMain.'Street Mews slated-to; include arestaurant and 1(5 units of housing andworkspace for artists are all gearedtoward enticing more people to live,work, shop and engage in recreationalactivities in the village. He spoke ofniche businesses and boutiques, as wellas the possibility of a movie complex,for the envisioned renaissance ofFreeport's downtown.
As pictures were taken and questionsanswered,. Mr. Suozzi continued tospeak of the importance of revitaliza-tion. He said that the magnificentlyimproved Nautical Mile will be MayorGlacken's legacy.
Also present was Robert Klein, Vice -President of Engineering, Logistics andTechnology at Northrop GrummanCorporation who stressed the value ofincentives that help companies to
expand. He noted that his company'srecent programs with the Empire StateDevelopment Corporation and NassauCounty Industrial Development Agencyhave allowed them to make facilitiesimprovements and grow substantially onLong Island. "Since the implementationof these recent programs, we are adding1,000 jobs."
In the economic development presen-tations that Mr. Suozzi has conductedaround the county, he consistentlyspeaks of the necessity of job growth,workforce housing, and the maximizingof existing space. He has noted, "Wecan't create more space so we have to domore with what we have."
Commenting on the perception thatNassau County is viewed by outsiders asa wealthy area, he said, "I appreciatethat characterization, but please give usour fair share of Empire Zones."
PSC approves Freeport Electric Rate Increasecs

The .New York State Public ServiceCommission has approved an electricrate increase of 18.2%, effective April 1,for Freeport Electric ratepayers.Freeport Electric had asked for an18.9% increase. The state Public ServiceCommission also approved the village'srequest to apply approximately $2 mil-lion of the settlement payment from theNew York Power Authority (NYPA) tooffset the full impact of the rate increasein the first year. The net impact to themonthly bill is projected to be approxi-mately 10% in the first year of the raleincrease. The utility will rebate thismoney as a line item-credit, which willappear on your monthly bill. The creditwill apply for approximately one year,depending on electric usage in that year.
At the Public Service Commissionhearing held January 7, FreeportElectric said that there would be anotherapproximately 8.2 percent rate increasein the second year. This translates intoan increase in its annual revenues fromelectric service by a little less than $4.8million. Hub Bianco, Superintendent ofFreeport Electric, told residents .at thepublic hearing that the utility is not ableto ask for an increase for at least threeyears.
Freeport Electric announced that
beginning in May 1, 2005, and for allsucceeding years, the utility will returnprofits earned from, the sale of electrici-ty and capacity to entities other thanFreeport Electric customers. FreeportElectric believes these sales will be pos-sible as a result of the completion of thenew power generation project at PowerPlant 2. The new facility will provide44 megawatts of capacity, "a netincrease of 27 megawatts compared tothe ojd Power Plant 2 diesels," said Mr.Bianco. This rebate will also appear as aline item credit on the monthly bill.
"The full benefit of this plan is diffi-cult to project because it is dependenumthe wholesale energy market, weatherconditions and the price of natural gas,"said a press release issued by FreeportElectric. "This rate adjustment strategyis an extension of the current utilitypractice, which applies LIPA capacitypayments to pay down the debt on thenew PP2 unit. The sale of energy shouldhelp minimize the cost of energy andkeep village rates competitive with otherutilities."
The utility was last granted a rateincrease of 7.1% in February 2002,under the terms of a negotiated settle-ment answering the 2001 filing. Thatincrease addressed immediate financial

requirements of the ut i l i ty, which haddeveloped over the six years since thepreceding filing in 1995. The rate peti-tion prior to that was filed in 1996.
Freeport Electric told officials fromthe Public Service Commission that theysought the rate increase because of fund-ing for the new Power Plant 2 generation
project and to support the rising routineoperating costs of the ut i l i ty .
The project development costs for thenew Power Plant 2 facili ty are above andbeyond current operational maintenanceof existing facilities." said Mr. Bianco.The old rate structure couldn't absorb

Looking for Godin every face
The scene is familiar in many churches this week.A Passion Play is held to re-play the roles of JesusChrist and his followers during the week that ledup to His crucifixion and resurrection.
The parts may be played by the ushers and theSunday school teacher, and they are familiar tomost people in the room. But to a young visitor thewhole experience can be terrible.
And so one little boy struggled in the arms of his.aunt to rush down and try to stop the Roman sol-diers from torturing the red-paint spattered manwho was playing the role of Jesus. His reaction wasso human and so noble. And one can imagine thatan innocent child of any faith would do the same.
This week our Jewish readers celebrate Passoverand the liberation of the Jews from Egypt. Manypeople know that Moses led the Jews out of Egyptand received the Ten Commandments from God,observed by both Christians and Jews.
Many people do not know that the Passover sederwas also the Last Supper eaten by Jesus Christ withhis followers and observed by Christians this weekas part of a Holy Week that culminates in EasterSunday. Easter Sunday is not the ending of a sadstory for Christians but rather the beginning of pro-claiming good news about God's love for jnankind,and the gift of eternal life.
We have so much in common in our two faiths,born in the same region of the Middle East andaddressing the same God.
The same .can even be said of Islam, the world'sfastest growing faith, held by a fifth of the world'spopulation, that is, over a billion people.
Yet today there is so much misunderstanding,and we stand at the brink of a potential world war.
Holy Week is a good time to reflect on howmuch we have in common, starting with a faith inthe same God.

' WHY THE INCORRECT PERCEP-TIONS?...At the most recent communi-ty meeting held by County LegislatorJoseph Scannell in Baldwin and atnumerous community meetings held byother elected officials, there alwaysseems to be a wide disparity betweenwhat people perceive and the facts thatare presented on crime. Why?
In the last several years that both thecounty legislator as well as townCouncilman Anthony Santino have heldtheir respective meetings, I have heardresidents claim excessive fear and con-cern about crime. Granted, any crime istoo much and any incident one toomany, but it would be totally unrealisticto think that only our community shouldbe immune from the normal statistics oncrime'that are found in similar suburbancommunities.
Resident perception should be partic-ularly contrasted with comments madetime and again by police officers - thatcrime statistics in Baldwin are notexcessive and that gang-related activityis minimal.
Why the difference in perception?Could it be how some • media report
crime? In programs I have been asked togive to community groups about journal-ism, I make it a special point to stress thatnewspapers must not only get the factscorrect, but that they must also put thosefacts into a correct context. Informationmust be presented proportionately.
Sunday's Newsday publishes a crimeblotter and the kinds of crimes listedshow Baldwin as similar to other areas -occasional break-ins, burglaries and carthefts. Fortunately, more serious crimesare relatively few. Residents should lis-ten carefully to the words that policeofficials use when they do describe theseoccasional serious incidents.
Do they use the words "random" or"targeted?" And when they indicate thatthe community should not be fearful,what message is being sent? We mustremember that during investigations lawenforcement authorities cannoj sayeverything they know about a crime.When they give reassurances to a com-munity rather than a list of cautions to befollowed, they are trying their best to behonest while not jeopardizing the case.
In The Leader, we list most crimes aspart of a regular police blotter report and
Jensen to be honoredby Joan Delaney
The tradition of Sportsweek and thename of Marie Jensen are virtually syn-onymous in Baldwin.' A physical education teacher in
Baldwin for 35 years as well as Directorof the Physical Education Department atthe high school, Ms. Jensen is revered forthe standard of excellence she brought toactivities for both young men andwomen. '"''
Although Ethel Kloberg, a formerteacher, director of physical educationand dean, initiated Sportsweek, it wasMarie Jensen who adapted it duringalmost three decades of changes in socie-ty and in education.
"The goal," she said, "was to initiatechange without losing the essence of theprogram." In an interview with TheLeader, she described the modificationsthat occured while world events as trau-
matic as the war in Vietnam and as far-reaching as the women's movement tookplace and growing opportunities forwomen emerged in academics, physicaleducation, and extracurricular teams andclubs.
She describes the Sportsweek experi-ence as one which provides the traditions"of a private school in a public schoolsetting." Although preparation time ismore compressed than' in former years,.weeklong activities still includeFather/Daughter Night, Banquet and TeaDance. The culminating Sportsnight pro-gram provides young women with oppor-tunities for leadership, sportsmanshipand athletic excellence.

provide more extended coverage formore serious incidents. Not every paperdoes that. For some papers, a crime storyis always page one; Every crime story isculled out and made a lengthy feature.Week after week of that kind of report-ing takes its toll on community percep-tion. Before long people think the com-
'munity is riddled with crime, in excessof that existing in each and every com-munity.
Another factor leading to communitymisperceptions is that residents fre-quently fail to attend community .meet-ings consistently. I am always amazedthat almost the exact same questions areasked at each and every communitymeeting by people who seem never tohave heard the questions before. I won-der why people come to one meeting,never to return to subsequent meetings,and why a different group of peoplecome to the next meeting, never havingattended before.
Residents must become active in theircommunities, not focused simply on theone specific issue that involves some-thing on their block. Committed partici-pation is needed so that residents have a
clear understanding -of issues and (hedevelopments of those issues. Toomany resident's seem to feel lhat theirmain job as citizens is to come to onemeeting, vent, demand immediate solu-tions and leave.
Perhaps all community get-togelhersshould begin with the elected officialwho is sponsoring the meeting askingthe police representative to give a briefupdate on the status of crime and crimeprevention in the community. Thiswould provide much needed informa-tion. It would also eliminate numerousaudience questions that contain .so muchmisinformation - misinformation that isfrequently believed because the policerepresentative, sitting at the dais, is notgiven the opportunity to publicly rebutor clarify the comments.
How helpful it would he to fine-tunethe opportunities we already have inmeetings with public officials so that theresults would be more effective. Andhow important it would be for commu-nity perceptions if they heard aboutcrime from police officials who knowthe facts and can explain them propor-tionately and in context.

Editor's note: This is Part One of aTwo Part story. Part Two will appearin next week's paper.
"This was another brutal winter onthe bays, and 1 just hope the ice and thewind didn't kill too many clams,"remarked a reserved Ed Thomas, pres-ident of the HempsleadShellfisherman's Association, to sever-al association members who all silent-ly nodded in agreement. Added shell-fisherman Mike Combs, "Whether wehave anyth ing to look forward to or notdepends on whether the ground frozeand the frost got the clams."
So begins another season of uneasyhope on the bays for Ihe shell fisher-men whose livelihoods depend -along with their shellfish customers -on the bounty of the bay and what itwi l l give up, a hope that just as quick-ly d imin i shes or swells with theweather reports and the bay closings.The regular season opens to the bay-men on April 1, after clamming inconditional areas during the winterproduced meager results.
Meanwhile, along the shores of thesame bays two municipalities havegood reason to feel great optimismabout the bays- this season. The-Village of Freeport and the Town oisHempstead both received funds fromthe state's Environmental ProtectionFund released by Governor GeorgePataki with which to begin canaldredging and create more comprehen-sive archival studies of 75' years ofsalt-water marsh erosion.
For Don Harris, vice-president ofFreeport-based SPLASH (Stov/Po l lu t ing Li t ter ing And Save theHarbors), there is good enough reason;to be optimistic about the bays this 'season and in the coming seasons as(
well. "If things are cyclical, then they*can replenish themselves," heremarked. But his immediate concernfor this Spring into Summer was thatsnows this past Winter would changefish behavior, as more fresh waterinvaded the bays from snows todesalinate them and keep schools ofwell-known fish farther out.
But Mr. Thomas saw no threat tofishing or clamming in the area fromthe snows. He explained that the flowof tides into the bays through theinlets is among the strongest of anyclamming and fishing areas on theEast Coast, which is why they areideal grounds for fishing and clam-ming to begin. He said strong tidesfrom the ocean would quickly dispelany dilution of salt in the bays.
Grandview spillageMr. Harris had an even more press-
ing concern, however, that of upset-ting the already precarious thresholdbetween tolerable levels of pollutantsinto the bay and a final, explosive jintolerance to it, like the nuclear clock jstriking its final hour. "Nine thousandgallons' of raw sewage into the bay jbecause of the Grandview Canal spill ![in Bellmore] is helping put us overthe edge of what's tolerable or not," hesaid. "We can't necessarily stop what'shappening, because even treatmentplants spill sewage into the; bay, butwe must be wary of it and continue toscrutinize ever-more succinctly."
He further contended that humansare at the bottom of a pyramid, and
Bays start to rejuvenate CIO
are the last to be affected by the ever-changing biodynamics of the bays."Mercury from spills up the Hudson'thin out the shells of striped bass eggsfirst, before we ultimately consumethe fish." Because we can't stop what'shappening, we have to "try to make itsomething we can live with with aslittle impact as possible, but mainlyfor the silent victims that are outthere, the phytoplanktons, fishes andother animals that have no choice."
Bayman Louis Cavolo said Mr.Harris had an excellent point indeed, .admit t ing that, in a former career as aplumber, he knew of instances wheresewage trucks would drive downdead-end streets and dump thousandsof gallons of-raw sewage into the bay.He had little reason to believe it hadstopped completely, and such actionswould continue to pollute the baysand adversely affect the food chain.But he also agreed along with otherbaymen that he has actually witnessedthe water becoming cleaner.
Enter the Town of Hempstead. RonMasters, Commissioner of the town'sDepartment of Conservation andWaterways, said, "The waters are infact becoming cleaner because there ismuch tighter enforcement of possible
_ contaminants infused int(5 the svstem,
less near-shore dumping, betterawareness and education of the dan-gers as a dumping ground, and a muchgreater understanding of the filtrationqualities of intertidal grasses."Shellfisherman Tom Jeffries backedup Mr. Masters' educational assertion,saying that "the general public wasmuch more aware." now of the conse-quences of how dumping affects themdirectly, and commended publicawareness days such as Earth Day foreducating the public. Indeed, Mr.Thomas commended the town for open-ing up 3,000 acres of additional bay tonew clamming, citing the closures ofboth the Freeport and Oceanside land-fills as two examples of tighter enforce-ment.
But Gary Smith, president of theBellmore chapter of SPLASH, said that
the Grandview Canal spill nonethelessexposed an obvious vulnerability in.thetown's strategy toward cleaning up thebays. He noted that because the town isjust now looking to hook up NewbridgePark to Nassau County sewer lines -which New York State Department ofEnvironmental Conservation spokesmanBill Fonda called "a surprising develop-ment when one considers how long agothe county put in sewers" - thecesspools or holding tanks it maintainedrather than hooked up to sewers havelikely leeched pollutants into the baysfor years.
"How many other parks does the townhave that aren't hooked up to sewers andtheir tanks continue to leech pollutioninto the bays?"Mr. Smith asked.
The town recently received a grant of

.Anticipation Notes in January 2004,with a payment of $1 million dollars.
"The utility "and its contractors underthe aegis of our general contractor[GFS] worked closely together to meetthe April 1 schedule for several rea-sons," explained Hubert Bianco, super-intendent of electric utilities. "We need-ed to ensure that the project operatebefore our peak summer season, and weneeded capacity to make up for the oldPower Plant 2 diesels which the [state]DEC ordered shut this January." Mr.Bianco elaborated, "The need for ourindependent supply of electricitybecame evident again on February 26when the village's supply from NYPAand out of village sources was inter-rupted by a malfunction at .the LIPA/vil-lage interchange.-While power wasrestored in just over an hour, protectingpublic health and safety necessitatedactivating the old Power Plant 2 dieselsfor less than an hour," he said.
Mr. Bianco said that significant regu-latory changes over the past severalyears have added to the operationalexpenses of the utility. The 1999 imple-mentation of the New York IndependentSystem Operator (NYISO) resulted inincreased costs due to higher energypurchase costs. Adding to the financialdemands is deregulation, which wasoriginally "intended by federal initia-tives to increase.competition and reduceenergy costs. In fact, deregulation hasresulted in increases in wholesale ener-gy prices," said Mr. Bianco. Accordingto a press release issued by FreeportElectric, wholesale energy marketprices have " increased the cost of elec-tricity purchased by the village by 30%since 1999.
At the present time, the main sourceof energy purchased by the village ishydroelectric power supplied by theNew York Power Authority (NYPA).NYPA itself has approved a 40% rateincrease phased in over three years. Thefirst year of the NYPA increase tookeffective May 1, 2003. Phase one of theNYPA rate increase has been foldedinto the village's bills as a passed-through expense beginning in the sec-ond quarter of 2003, according toFreeport Electric. The village's contractwith NYPA was also extended as part ofa global settlement, which included therate increase, with all municipal utilitiesin the state, and now expires in 2025.
The utility said that future terms,costs and availability of this energy arenot known at this time.
"The village seeks to establish a ratestructure now to create'better revenueflow and stabilize long term rates," saidFreeport Electric in a press release."LIPA and other utilities have alsoexperienced significant increases 'inoperating costs associated .with risingfuel costs and the price of electricitypurchased from the market."
"We are trying everything we can tohold rates down. We have tried to iden-
tify innovative ways to reduce our inde-pendent system operator costs, our
' energy costs, and we have aggressivelynegotiated contracts to get reducedcosts for additional capacity," said Mr.Bianco.
But residents at the January hearingcalled the increase "excessive," saidEileen Weaver. "I am constantly beingchallenged to pay out more money."
"I'm getting hammered," said RonLangdow.
"I speak for the little people," saidNeal Hooper "I love this town but thisis getting harder and harder on my wal-let."
But Mr. Bianco believes that the"municipal electric system, in provid-ing this cost effective .and reliablepower has played a very significant rolein the economic growth and stability of•the village."
"Low cost electricity is a strong assetfor businesses locating in our communi-ty and stable electric rates are criticalcomponents of the continued health ofthe Village economy."

from page 5its, described her working class back-ground that initially made her unaware ofher educational options. Although shealways loved physical education andwanted to become a teacher, she wasunsure of how to do that with, limitedfinancial resources.
She became a secretary but after oneyear contacted her former physical edu-cation teacher who guided her in the col-lege application process. She practice-taught in Baldwin and was offered a posi-tion as an elementary school physicaleducation teacher, traveling to four dif-ferent schools.
When the new high school was built,she became one of its physical educationteachers, first teaching only girls in a pro-gram that separated boys and girls inphysical education classes. Although herinitial goal was to teach at the universitylevel, she found her professional lifeextremely rich in Baldwin so that eventu-ally she turned down an offer from IthacaCollege. Over the years she was also cer-tified in Administration andSuperivision; Health, Physical Educationand Recreation; and Guidance.
Her professional career was full -teaching, acting as an advisor for theGirls Athletic Association and LeaderCorp. as well as working with many serv-ice clubs. Over the years, she coachedbasketball, field hockey, volleyball, soft-ball and tennis. In 1978, she foundedClass Night. She describes a collegia!atmosphere where teachers were giventhe freedom to try new ideas and pro-grams.
Personally, she played on variouswomen's athletic teams. Among her
^experiences was participation in. theArthur Murray Girls Semi-Pro Women'sSoftball Team, playing under the lights atFreeport Stadium. She played basketballfor several years for the Highlanders in awomen's league, and qualified for thefirst team of a New. Atlantic FieldHockey Association, where she played ina national tournament against interna-tional touring teams.
Over the years she has been involvedin more professional organizations relat-ed to physical education than anyone elsein district history. She has chaired scoresof committees. She has been honored bymany groups. In 1978, she was named"Woman of the Year" by the .YoungRepublicans and was honored in 1982 byDads and Boosters. She was among thefirst women's coaches to be recognizedby the State Association of Coaches in
1973 and was honored by the Long IslandBoard of Women's Officials. PTA award-ed her a lifetime honorary membership.
Her activities have continued since herretirement in 1992. After seven years shecontinues to serve on the Board ofDirectors of the Maurer Foundation for
-Breast Health Education.Another important aspect of Ms.
Jensen's life has been as owner/directorof Camp Wa-Klo' for Girls in Jaffrey,New Hampshire, alongside MoadonackLake. The camp provides a full spectrumof sports and activities for 150 girls whocome from numerous states and foreign
. countries. She supervises an international' staff, and the camp offers horseback rid-
ing, academic and college prep programsas well as swimming, boating, hiking,tennis and other traditional summertimesports.
In describing her years of teaching,particularly the years when girls and boysathletics were separate, she enumeratedsome of the positives of a program that"was separate but truly equal." She remi-nisced about staff who devoted untoldhours without additional pay to run carni-vals and coach young people. Thinkingof the students, she says, "I don't remem-ber bad children," although she laughing-ly described situations that might have tobe addressed differently in today's era ofgrowing regulation.
"I remember going outside at the oldjunior/senior high school for gym and'passing a young woman who was playingbongo drums sitting up in a tree. I toldher when she finished to come and joinus."
She insists that "I never remember amean or disrespectful student." She added,
J]When discipline .was needed it was metedout." She said that she believes that it isonly when situations are perceived by stu-dents as unfair that trouble starts.
She described her teaching experiencesin positive, glowing terms. "There werealways nice people doing their jobs andappreciated. Going to school was fun. Iwas given great latitude. I could makedecisions within my programs. I wasgiven license to improve and develop myprograms."
Her goals and her choices are reflectedin the creed developed in 1938 forSportsweek and which epitomizes howMs. Jensen has conducted both her. per-sonal and professional life.
"1 believe living in the faith that-theworld is on my side so long as I am trueto the best that is within me."
Bays rejuvenatefrom page 7
$15,000 from the state's EnvironmentalProtection Fund (EPF) for a project thatwill study in more detail why salt watermarshes have eroded so quickly, whichwill perhaps help to explain current con-ditions in the bay and how to changethem in the future. With the funds, thetown will be able to scan and reference650 aerial photographs documenting 75years of change in the Hempstead estu-ary. The .project will produce a comput-er-generated random sample of 100shoreline points to document changes.The project is expected to help discernthe causes of accelerated salt marsh loss,and will implement wetland compo-nents of the Long Island South ShoreEstuary Reserve ComprehensiveManagement Plan.
"These EPF grants will help LongIsland municipalities move forward
[to]...protect the beauty of their shore-lines, while also expanding recreationalaccess...and creating new economicdevelopment," said New York StateGovernor George Palaki of the grant.
.The Village of Freeport will also real-ize a grant of $200,000 in which tocomplete a Maritime Center Action Planfor Freeport Creek, Hudson Canal andWoodcleft Canal. The grant will alsohelp in developing a dredging anddredged material management plan forHudson Canal, and in constructing a vis-itor's center to enhance the Long IslandMarine Education Center.
Governor Pataki added of theFreeport grant, "Long Island's water-front areas are the heart of this region'srich maritime heritage and we are work-ing closely with local officials and civicand environmental organizations to pre-serve and enhance these vibrantresources."

by Laura Schofer
No path is straight, just ask JoanDelaney, a wife, mother, educator, journal-ist and community activist, who will behonored by the Baldwin Foundation forEducation on April 17 for her years ofservice to the Baldwin schools and com- -munity.
More than 30 years ago, Joan began hercareer as a teacher. She-is a graduate of theCollege of Mount Saint Vincent with adegree in English and SecondaryEducation and a Master's degree from theUniversity of Chicago in English. "Ialways loved to read, trie Bronte sisters,Jane Austen, Anne Tyler and mysteries
-like Tony Hillerman where the atmospherehelps to drive the plot," said Joan.
She spent her first three years as ateacher in the inner city of Chicago in aschool that was a converted bread factory."You could still smell the bread;" she said."I taught everything, even mechanicaldrawing. We were intrigued by eachother," said Joan, referring to the childrenshe taught. "They couldn't get over myNew York accent and I learned a very-important lesson. For the first time I real-ized that not everyone comes with thesame background and support for educa-tion. I learned how vital it is to have a goodeducation."
Even after Joan returned to New Yorkand taught in Plainview's junior highschool, she still realized that "being finan-cially well off doesn't always mean that"the family is supportive. There could beother issues that children have to grapplewith." , .
Joan left teaching when she becamepregnant with her oldest daughter Suzanneand became an active volunteer, serving inmany positions, including president of theMilburn School (Parent-TeacherAssociation (PTA,) the Baldwin Councilof PTAs and the Baldwin Friends ofMusic. She received a lifetime member-ship award from the PTA Council.
"I think the PTAs are essential for edu-cation. For parents, it provides a sense ofwhat the educational process is all aboutand the parent gets to see the bigger pic-ture. You start-out being involved in PTAfor your own child; you might bring cup-cakes to class but then you begin to takeon more challenges. The process is evolu-tionary. It's a remarkable experience; youlearn leadership skills and have the oppor-tunity to meet legislators, becomeinvolved in lobbying, learn about the elec-tion process and about budgeting. Whatstarts out to be something for your ownkids opens you up to a bigger world," shecommented.
In addition to her involvement in theBaldwin school community, Joan has beensecretary of the Beautiful BaldwinFoundation and she is a past director of theBaldwin Chamber of Commerce. She isalso a member of the CommunityAdvisory Committee of the South NassauCommunities Hospital Mental HealthCounseling Center, a trustee and'recordingsecretary of the Baldwin HistoricalSociety.
Joan is an active parishioner of St.Christopher's, a former religious educa-tion teacher and past president of the St.Christopher's Conference of the Societyof St. Vincent de Paul. She was recentlyappointed to the Society's DiocesanCouncil Board of Directors. This appoint-ment reflects her selection as the firstchairperson of the council's Voide of thePoor Committee, a new initiative devel-oped to advocate on behalf of those inneed.
"This was another one of those evolu-tionary processes, where things just getbigger and bigger," said Joan. "What, wehave seen over the last 20 years is atremendous amount of change in the num-ber of people in need and the complexityof the issues of poverty. We make homevisits and therefore develop a differentrelationship. The perspective we bring ismuch more personal.
"Our goal is to look at the issues thateffect the poor and lobby on their behalffor affordable housing, defined as workforce housing, not low-income housing,"said Joan, "and just wage and health care.The difference between the poor and thenot so poor is a safety net. How do you
. adequately pay for serious health careissues without benefits and insurance? Wewant to level the playing field."
Joan has two daughters, both graduatesof Baldwin High School and is married toJim Delaney, also active in Baldwin.
With all of her involvements in the com-munity Joan still has time to be theBaldwin editor of the Freeport-BaldwinLeader. "In 1976 I took.Jenny [heryoungest daughter] to a puppet-makingcontest.4,took a picture and brought it overto the Baldwin Citizen. Jim Perry was thepublisher at the time. By the time I left Ihad a job," said Joan.
"The community was in turmoil. At thetime they were talking about closingMilburn School because of decliningenrollment. The board meetings were mybaptism by fire. 700 people would show upat the old junior high school. The meetingswould'start at 8 and end at I in the morn-ing. How do you synthesize five hours of
chaos into an article? And then (here wasan older woman who every Friday under-lined my articles, word by word, and askedme why I used this quote or word."
Joan left The Citizen to work at TheLeader in 1981. As the Baldwin editor'sheis responsible for both news reporting andwriting a weekly column entitled "JustWrite" which received a New York SlatePress Association Award last year. "I findthat working for the paper is a gocxi 111with my responsibilities and interests.Everything I do are potential columns.When you are involved in the communilyyou know, what the issues are.
"1 think community journalism is essen-tial. Community papers pull together allparts of a community, you see it as awhole: it gives you a sense of what a com-munity is thinking," she said.
