Freeport's MS-13 leader arrestedby Laura Schofer

Charges against 17 leaders of La MaraSalvatrucha (MS-13), including AngelDiaz, the alleged leader of the Freeport"clique," were filed in Federal court onOctober 12.

Roslynn R. Mauskopf, United Statesattorney for the Eastern District of NewYork and Pasquale J. D'Amuro, assistantdirector in charge, Federal Bureau ofInvestigation, announced that Mr. Diaz,known by his street name as"Delinquenta," was charged with con-spiracy to assault and possession offirearms in furtherance of that conspiracy.

According to the complaint, authoritiessecretly recorded meetings at which Mr.Diaz, along with other MS-13 members,plotted to shoot rival gang members andmurder Genaro Venegas and OliviaMendoza, who MS-13 leaders believedwere providing information to lawenforcement authorities.

The five MS-13 members chargedwith the alleged murders are Wilver R.Lopez, also known as "Conde," EdgardoNoel Salina-Galiano, also known as"Maldito," Edwin Enriquez, also known

as "Joker," Jose A. Hernandez, alsoknown as "Estrano," and Jose Recinos,also known as "Psycho and "L'ilPsycho." A sixth man, Jovanic A. Berrios,also known as "Sonic" and "Sony," is stillbeing sought by authorities. None ofthese six men are from Freeport. •

The charges and arrests are the product• of ongoing investigations by the FBI'sLong Island Gang Task Force compro-mised of members of the FBI, New YorkState Police, Nassau County PoliceDepartment, Freeport Police, HempsteadVillage Police, Nassau CountyDepartment of Corrections, the U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement,Port Washington Police, and SuffolkCounty Police department.

"This is a major setback for this gang,"Michael Woodward, Freeport policechief, told The Leader. "These arrestswill help other individuals understand theseriousness of these crimes. They havebeen federally charged and are facing lifeimprisonment; a few are even facing thedeath penalty." Chief Woodward addedthat "this effort took out a lot of heads of.the MS-13 chapters, but they will bereplaced."

The Freeport Police Department hasone full-time detective assigned to theFBI's gang task force. "It's just one of thethings we do to deter crime," said ChiefWoodward, who added that there are anumber programs to quell the gang prob-lem in Freeport.

A few of these programs include theAdopt-a-cop program, home visits andawareness prevention programs in theschools. Recently the police departmenthired a social worker to help address thisissue. The Freeport Police Departmentare also members of the OfficialsWorking Group and Helping EndViolence Now (HEVN), both organiza-tions dedicated to combatting gang vio-lence.

About MS-13MS-13 is a nationwide organization

comprised primarily of immigrants from .El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala,many of whom are in the United Statesillegally. With approximately 300 mem-bers, the MS-13 is the largest street gangon Long Island. In Nassau County mem-bers are located primarily in Hempstead,Freeport, Roosevelt, New Cassel and

Westbury.The MS-13 engages in a variety of vio-

lent criminal activity including murder,assault, rape, firearms, offenses forcocaine distribution and robbery, accord-ing to the United States DistrictAttorney's office. Most of the violentactivity is directed at rival gangs includ-ing the Salvardorans with Pride (SWP),the Latin Kings and the Bloods.

Freeport village board allotstree removal money

by Jim Golding

Village trustees allotted nearly$35,000 from their contingency fund fortree removal at Monday's board meet-ing.

The work included removal of 66trees and the pruning of 137 curbsidetrees on village property "to increasesight distance and visibility of overheadlights," Mayor William F. Glacken said,replying to a question from KennethBagatelle. .

In other business, the board approved.$7,000 for the 2004-05 Fire ServiceAward Program service fee, whichserves as a retirement fund for volunteerfirefighters.

Four Police Department personnelwere designated as record access offi-cers: Sgts. Miguel Bermudez, MichaelCapriola, Harry Heal and Kevin Noll,and clerk Mary Muldowney.

Under public comment, Mr. Bagatelleand Eileen Weaver expressed concernsabout falling leaves cluttering the neigh-borhood streets and sidewalks.

Public Works Director LouisDiGrazia said the village's two vacuumtrucks will scour Freeport neighbor-

hoods later in the season when leaveshave fallen.

The mayor and Deputy MayorRenaire Frierson-Davis reminded thepublic that individual homeowners areresponsible for bagging the leaves intheir yards.

In his comments to the board, residentAlan Jay had praise for several improve-ments under way in Freeport, includingthe Mews building project, but notedthat construction on another project onSouth Ocean Avenue has been delayed.

Mayor Glacken said the projectdeveloper had just received approval tobuild condos on the lot and that con-struction would soon get underway."We're working closely with the devel-oper," he said.

In' other actions, trustees approved: ablock party application from Our HolyRedeemer Church on Pine Street for aFall Festival on October 26, a requestfrom a service station at RandallAvenue and North Main Street to hanga "grand opening" banner for a monthbeginning October 19, and a LittleLeague request to hang a bannerannouncing registration from October19 to November 30.

Vote for Nassau's future

Most people who came out to Nassau Countyfrom the city came for the open spaces. And yetevery year new houses pop up between other.hous-es, and new strip malls open' along wooded roads.„ Wetlands have some protection, and they are cru-cial to preserving our fish and shellfish populationsfor future generations. But what about all the treesand grass that also freshen our air,-and the openspaces that collect our groundwater? What aboutthe beauty that brought us all here?

Nassau County's bipartisan plan to preserve openspaces, protect drinking water, renovate parks,clean up brownfields and reduce runoff from roadsinto natural waters is on the November 2 ballot. Itcalls for authorizing the county to issue $50 millionin bonds for an Environmental Program and to cre-ate a tax arid special revenue fund to pay off thedebt service on .the bonds. The cost for taxpayers is$7 on average per home for each of the next 20years.

County Executive Thomas Suozzi has shown spe-cial interest in preserving farms such as Fruggie'sin North Merrick. Wetlands property on WynsumAvenue in Merrick has also been proposed for pro-tection. The North Shore Land Alliance is alsoworking on a list of other South Shore properties.'

The Open Space and Parks Committee (OSPAC)will make recommendations to the Nassau CountyPlanning Commission on which parks will be refur-bished on the South Shore. Fortunately RichardSchary of North Bellmore sits on that committee.And Nasssau County Legislators David Denenbergand Norma Gonsalves have both shown great inter-est in the project.

Bob Young and the Keep America BeautifulCommittee endorse the bond act.

If you really care about the environment, pleasedo your part in helping preserve it and vote for thebond act on November 2.

BITING THE HAND...As an individ-ual citizen, a volunteer in several organi-zations, and most especially as a reporter,I attend more than my fair share of meet-ings. Elected officials are invited to manyof them.

I am always amazed when the spon-sors of some of these meetings, or elsecertain speakers who participate inthese programs; take it upon them-selves to publicly ichastise, admonish,threaten politically or speak disparag-ingly about the elected officials sittingat the dais or else of the political partywith which these officials are affiliat-ed.

It is particularly hard to understandthis ill-considered need to vent whenthe elected official or his party are themeans through which funding flows.

To paraphrase the words of an old say-ing, "It's not smart to bite the hand thatfeeds you." \.

I have seen this kind of behavior occurboth locally and regionally. Some yearsago, after the defeat of a high-level offi-cial, a speaker at a local legislative forumtook great delight in lambasting both theman and his party. She used the opportu-nity to gloat, at length, over the clout of

the particular association to which shebelonged.

While the speaker may have felt acathartic release, the result has not beenbeneficial for Baldwin. Since that time,fewer and fewer higher level elected offi-cials of that party have personally attend-ed the forum. Most now send their aides,and while some of the aides are extreme-ly knowledgeable, others, to be honest,are just bodies who fill a seat and extendgood wishes.

How foolhardy were those comments?We will never know the full financialimpact they have had for Baldwin's tax-payers.

Another group whose meetings I haveattended occasionally is a local chapter ofa national organization that describesitself as non-partisan. While its printedliterature might reflect that description,the speakers they consistently select fortheir meetings and the public commentsof their members at these meetings are farfrom non-partisan.. Again, while they may feel comforted

to spend an afternoon schmoozing withfellow members who are in lockstep una-nimity of opinion, they should notice thattheir membership is dwindling, atten-

dance by legislators is practically non-existent, and their corporate allianceshave been dangerously compromised.

A most recent meeting I attended alsoillustrated the same pattern. The executivedirector of the sponsoring group used theopportunity to lambaste an official byname although not by party. His tacticswere about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

Most especially, his comments did noth-ing to advance the goal of the coalition'smembers which was to secure more fund-ing. At this event as well, there was onlysparse attendance by significant electedofficials who, one can assume, havealready categorized the group and haveformed negative opinions about the value' 'of attending its meetings.

Our elected officials have scores ofmeetings and programs to which they areinvited. It makes sense that they will feelmore positive about attending those atwhich they have something new to learnor something politically to gain.

Why should officials sit at a dais andbe insulted? Why should they listen tospeakers who use the occasion to settlepersonal gripes? How much more benefi-cial it would be instead for speakers tosuccinctly describe specific problems,

concerns, and needs and then clearly statethe kind.of help they are requesting fromthe legislators. Expectations, of accounta-bility should be implied, not threatened.

Groups which host forums and pro-grams would do well to think about whatthey are trying to accomplish. Sponsorsshould evaluate their programs, particu-larly those which occur annually. Theyshould analyze the format and their selec-tion of speakers to see if they enhance ordetract from the purpose of the meeting orthe goals of the group.

At the very least, sponsoring groupsshould not allow any participant toindulge in lengthy mean-spiritedharangues. Most especially, it should beremembered that local participants can beheard by residents anytime. Face timewith elected officials is harder to come byand they should be given sufficientspeaking time.

It is unreasonable to expect our electedofficials .to go where they are consistentlyinsulted.'Nobody willingly puts himself inthat position, at least not more than once.

People who accept leadership roles inorganizations have a job to do. It shouldnot include insulting the very people theyneed for help.

Rock singer John Mellencamp comes to Baldwinby Joan Delaney

On October 12, seven-year-oldAnthony Viggiano was as much a celebri-ty as rock singer John Mellencamp. Theperformer visited Milburn School inBaldwin as part of a sweepstakes contestand initiative sponsored by Nickelodeonthat is entitled "Speak Up, Rock Out."

Young Anthony won the concert for hisschool by placing first in an essay conteston free speech for students ages seven to15 years old. ;

His father Anthony, mother Virginia,and sister Cahdice described the family as

excited by the good news, but Anthonywas cool under the lights of televisioncameras and the barrage of reporters'questions.

Prior to the filming of the Nickelodeonpiece, which included all 146 of the stu-dents in Baldwin's smallest elementaryschool, Anthony commented on his essay,spoke about the meaning of free speech,and even sang one of Mr. Mellencamp'ssongs.

Outside the school parents stood withcameras but the security around the per-former was intense. He arrived with an

'STAR POWER:Anthony, his parentsAnthony and Virginiaand his sister Candicewere filled with excite-ment as they met per-former JohnMellencamp.

entourage of over 60 people includingtechnicians, assistants, and variousNickelodeon staff. Huge stands of over-head lights, yards of heavy cables, anddozens of pieces of electronic sound equip-ment required outside generators. Six vehi-cles, including a huge black bus, and sev-eral limousines, parked in the schoolyard.

Only when all was ready did Mr.Mellencamp appear. He practiced the newsong he wrote about freedom of speechand then rehearsed some lines withAnthony for a 30-second spot that will runbetween shows on the Nickelodeon sta-tion. One of the lines in the song is direct-ly from Anthony's essay.

Quickly the director gave instructionswhich at first confused Mr. Mellencamp,but Anthony got it right the first time. Theinterchange went "Your words," with Mr.Mellencamp pointing to Anthony. Then

"Your music," with Anthony pointing toMr. Mellencamp. Together they faced thecamera and said, "Everyone's freespeech."

Another line of dialogue for Anthonywas delivered flawlessly and finally theentire school was brought in for the briefconcert. The children quickly look theirplaces around the performer who sangtwo Woody Guthrie songs for them. Then,he sang "Small Town," reflecting hisIndiana roots where he still lives, butmodified a few of the lyrics for the occa-sion.

The students were able to ask their pre-pared questions and Mr. Mellencampinteracted easily with them. He indicatedthat he gets his inspiration by "looking outthe window," and added, "There are so

We

Join together againstgangs

To The Leader:On several occasions I have had the

opportunity to ride along with theFreeport Police Department and seefirst-hand the highly trained, dedicatedand effective force we are fortunate tohave in our village.

I have witnessed a Freeport policeofficer carrying a baby, out of a burn-ing building this past July along withthe quick and heroic actions of the firstofficers on scene that saved many livesthat night.

My observations have included see-'ing great compassion shown by one ofour officers while dealing with a smallchild with an injury and the tremen-dous restraint officers displayed duringan altercation.

Our Police Department is truly anasset in protecting our.citizens and pre-serving the quality of life in the vil-lage.

In 2003, the Village of Freeportreceived the Outstanding AchievementCity Livability Award for cities lessthan 100,000 from the U.S.Conference of Mayors for the FreeportPolice Department's Adopt-a-CopProgram, one of the many communityor school-based programs that theFreeport Police Department isinvolved in. The Freeport PoliceDepartment's 2003 Annual Reportshows another 5.5 percent drop incrime in Freeport, and since 1997crime is down 32 percent.

The presence of gangs continues toreceive the highest priority of theadministration, the police and ourschools. Our police department'sGang Awareness, Suppression andPrevention Program; Adopt-a-CopProgram; Middle SchoolCommunication and "ActivityMentoring Program and the HomeVisit Program focus on this criticalissue.

In fact, the Freeport PoliceDepartment was among the first onLong Island to institute these special-ized programs aimed at our youth.Freeport's police officers .conduct-"zero-tolerance" enforcement on any-observed violation with a particularemphasis on those involved withgangs.

Last year, the Freeport PoliceDepartment's Community ResponseUnit conducted 53 "home visits,"which let gang members know that thepolice are. aware of their activity. •

The home visits also inform familymembers that their sons, daughters,brothers or sisters are involved ingangs while explaining the very realand potentially deadly consequencesof gang membership. This programgives us hope and offers the chance forgang members to distance themselvesfrom the evils of gangs.

While the gang problem continues togain attention, it affords us the oppor-tunity to work together in identifyingat-risk youth, preventing gang mem-bership and helping those alreadyinvolved in gangs to get out.

The Village of Freeport, through itsParks and Recreation Department, theFreeport Public Schools and many ofour houses of worship, offer a varietyof programs and activities that serve aspositive outlets for young people.

Whether in clubs or organizedsports in school, participation in pro-grams offered by organizations likethe Police Athletic League, or faith-based initiatives in our churches, it isincumbent upon all of us to encourageand promote these activities and toserve as role models for Freeport'schildren.

Responsibility begins at home andcontinues throughout the village.Prevention, guidance and letting ourchildren know we care about them isthe best defense against gangs.

As gangs persist to be a serious con-cern in Freeport and across LongIsland, we can help in our fight againstthis scourge by banding together andsending a clear message that this activ-:ity will not be tolerated in our village.

Freeport is a resilient community.We have always unified and perse-vered and by joining together in thefight against this criminal activity, wewill continue to do so.

Don MillerVillage Trustee

FrustrationTo The Leader: '• 'Why did a gadfly like .me try to

waste the valuable time of the FreeportVillage Board at their public meetingon October 4 with issues over whichthe village exercises no control?

Frustration, I suppose. I invited theboard to join me in a symbolic class-action lawsuit against Republicratpoliticians who sell out the taxpayersin exchange for labor union money andvotes.

Many of the complaints local citi-zens bring to the board, such as loosepit bulls', illegal parking, gang activity,etc. could probably be solved by hiringmore policemen; but the police unionshave priced more cops out of the mar-ket.

A.few months ago the village andFreeport Schools had to pay millionsmore to the state pension funds whileteacher pensioners erigage in globe-trotting in a vain effort to unload someof the inpoverished taxpayers' money.

Most of Freeport's local woes arenow imposed upon us by the New YorkState Laborite-Socialist politicians,who are engaged in a symbiotic danceof financial death with -their laborunion partners.

speaks of the experience he brings to hisposition representing the 14th AssemblyDistrict and the goals he has in mind onbehalf of his constituents.

The Lynbrook native and' Hofstragraduate noted "the fond spot I have inmy heart for Baldwin" as he describedthe hours he spent at Dick Wilson'sSportarama on Grand Avenue. "I was ahockey player and I bought everythingthere - skates, hockey sticks, tapes andpucks. I spent a lot of money there."

He' remembered family dinners onFriday nights at Sal's Wander Inn."Theyhad the best thin crust pizza."

He also speaks of his professionallinks to Baldwin. "This afternoon I'mgoing to present a check to the library."Previously, he secured grant money forEnglish as a Second Language materialsfor the library's collection.

Grant money totally $27,000 has beenallotted for further beautification effortsthrough the Baldwin Chamber ofCommerce and only awaits the comple-tion of required paperwork. He stresses,"I'm here; I'm interested in quality oflife; I want people to tell me what theyneed."

Although Mr. Barra's commitment tohis constituents has never been ques-tioned, some havespoken of the dys-functional legisla-ture . where heserves. .

Mr. Barra"responded:

";I\ won't defendthe'indefensible," hesaid, referring toconsistently latestate budgets.However, Mr. Barrahas introduced legis-lation to correct theproblem. Passed thisyear, his bill to cre-ate a state constitu-tional amendment Bob Barra

requiring.an on-timebudget must, pass the legislature a sec-ond time in 2005 before being pur to thevoters in a referendum. "I expect.it willpass overwhelmingly."

Unlike regulations presently in place,the amendment would require the slateto revert to the previous year's budgetwith only certain exemptions made forspecial expenditure categories such aseducation and health.

Mr. Barra pointed out, however, a partof the late budget process for which hedoesn't apologize. "We could alwayspass a budget on time if we just give up,cave in, and give the city everything atthe expense of the suburbs."

He added that people must know thatthe budget is late because local legisla-tors are fighting for their constituents'fair share of state revenues. Referring tostate aid for education, he said, "Wedon't want to deny the city state aid, butnot at the expense of our own children."

Referring to charges that the state iscontrolled by only three people - thegovernor,--and the leaders of theAssembly and Senate - Mr. Barra saidthat individual legislators have theopportunity for both input and reaction.

Referring to the Assembly's minorityleader, Mr. Barra noted, "We tell himwhat we want for our areas and our con-stituents and we make it clear what

won't fly. You can't have 150 peoplerunning around debating and negotiat-ing."

Other issues that have been highlight-ed recently include County ExecutiveThomas Suozzi's call to return the totalcost of Medicaid to the state rather thanthe present system of passing down 30percent of the costs to the county. Mr.Barra said that if those costs wereincurred by the state they would have tobe paid for through the income tax. Theactual cost to. Long Island taxpayersthen, he said, would be $4.50 .for each$1 presently paid through county taxes.

Mr. Barra points with pride to hiswork in securing assistance for his con-stituents from his first bill in 2001 whichsecured tax exempt status for a parcel ofland owned by the fire department torecent efforts to create what he calls"second generation" housing.

Since an affordable housing billpassed the Assembly but failed to moveout of committee in the Senate this year,Mr. Barra said that the state must find away to create incentives for communi-ties and developers to create much-needed housing."I'm a father," hesaid,"and I want my children to be ableto afford to live'on Long Island."

Mr. Barra has also, been an advocateto improve the nursing profession and

has introduced fourpieces of legislationto assist • nurses.,Although they didnot pass) he intendsto continue to pressfor changes whichwi l l . enhancesalaries, create taxcredits for full-timenurses, provide loanforgiveness and edu-cational assistance,and restrict the con-secutive hours ofrequired work, butnot voluntary over-time, except inemergencies.

Referring toa distinctly local issue, although not onedirectly within the purview of his juris-diction, he spoke of the controversyconcerning the possible relocation of theFirst Precinct. "Please make it clear to.people that I am absolutely in favor ofkeeping the First Precinct in Baldwin."

Referring to other aspects of lawenforcement, he outlined the SafeNeighborhoods and Investment Actwhich he had proposed to provide fundsfor after-school programs and activitieswhich would offer alternatives for youthand discourage gang participation.

The plan, which failed to garner suffi-cient support, would have made it afelony to recruit .gang members offschool grounds, would require financialrestitution and community service forproperty damage, would offer collegecredits to young people to get involvedin community issues, would providegreater access to college loans andfinancial aid, and would have encour-aged communities to reach out to attractfamily friendly businesses and youngentertainment outlets.

Cont inuing his description of hisefforts and his work in the legislature henoted, "Sometimes you get a whole loaf,sometimes a half a loaf, sometimesnone. But we keep coming back to try toget the best for our people."

by Joan DelaneyBaldwinite Dan Torres, a self-

described Howard Dean Democrat, saidthat he is running for election as assem-blyman in the 14th district to help repaira dysfunctional and broken stateLegislature.

Using the analogy of an old house, hesaid that it is useless to undertake cos-metic decorating of the rooms unlessyou fix the foundation. He added thatmany of the local Democratic chal-lengers are running to fix that founda-tion and many, like himself, are notlooking to be career politicians.

Mr. Torres, his wife Marcia Deleonand their two-year-old daughterNicolette have been Baldwin residentsfor 4 1/2 years. He grew up inSheepshead Bay, received a Bachelor'sdegree in electrical engineering atSyracuse University and a Master's inInformation Systems Engineering atPolytechnic University.

He works for a consulting companyand notes, "My job is to analyze, identi-fy, and correct problems. That's what Ido, and that's what needs to be done inAlbany." He says, "The problems inAlbany are the root of all our local prob-lems." He likens the lack of productivi-ty of the legislature to that of "a vestigalorgan."

Mr. 'Torres refersto the governor andthe Senate andAssembly leaders as'•'a triad who: .wieldtoo much powen"

Specifically, .Mr.Torres singles, outthe state's policy ofpassing down a por-tion of Medicaidcosts to the countyas a situation whichhas placed an unfairburden on countyfinances and .localtaxpayers.

He also addressesother • economicissues. He supportsan increase in the minimum wage, say-ing there must be "more parity in wagegrowth.We must invite people into themiddle and upper scale economy."

Improving quality of life, he notes, isessential: He subscribes to the practicesinitiated by Mayor Rudy Guiliani andPolice Commissioner William Brattonin New York City as an important firststep and indicator which will have a rip-ple effect in reducing overall crime.

Referring to the incumbent whom heis challenging, Mr. Torres said that the

' problem in Albany is not one of parti-sanship but one of incumbency. He saidthat career politicians, who must watch

out for their jobs, cannot offend' theparty leaders.

Some specific suggestions for reformhe advocates is requiring a four-yearbudget forecast. To illustrate that pointhe quotes the hockey star WayneGretsky who explained why he wassuch a good player despite not necessar-ily being the biggest, fastest or most tal-ented. He said, "I look at where the ballis going, not where-It is." Mr. Torresstressed that Albany has to have a for-ward plan.

Referring to the annual state budgetdelays^ he said, "Something's verywrong when every year ends up being asurprise."

He added that budgets cannot beimproved unless the budget process isimproved, "Waste must be identified.There are too many uncontrolled off-budget items (e.g. the finances of quasi-goverhment agencies like the MTA andBridgs and Tunnel Authorities).

An example of waste, he said, is theWicks law which requires four cate-gories of .bidding and contractors,adding tremendous costs to large munic-ipal and school projects.

Another problem, he said, is the quan-tity of unfunded mandates. While somethings must always be mandated, Mr.Torres said that he was "opposed to the

degree of it."Regarding educa-

tion, h$ said that hewas "a firm believerin spending what weneed....it's an invest-ment that keeps giv-ing- back,".. Since-this;

results, in such-highcosts, he said,"There • must beabsolute accounta-bil i ty , both finan-cially and educa-tionally, to taxpay-ers."

Mr. Torres out-lined his views as apractical idealist. Hereferred to his own

life, where he tries to connect his hob-bies with public service. A pilot, he hasparticipated in Angel Flight by donatinghis craft and time as a pilot to transportpeople for medical care.

Before travel for job commitments cut• into his time, he was a volunteer for

SPLASH, an activity which reflected hisenvironmental interests. "I take my hob-bies and put them to use."

He says he wakes up each morning"with nothing to complain about. I knowwe have it better than 80 percent of theworld. I try to live my life knowing that

. when you are good to others, you arebest to yourself." ' " "

The message was short and definite!Freeport's Football Team wanted to winits Homecoming Game against Baldwinin front of 1,200 excited fans. TravisJones blindsided the Bruins' quarterbackless than two minutes into the game andoutside linebacker Chris Edmondgrabbed the loose ball and ran it in for a45-yard touchdown. This was his thirddefensive score of the season. JoaquinViedma's kick was good; his first of four.

Quarterback Taylor Eason hadn't evenset up the first offensive play andFreeport was ahead 7-0. This put theRed Devils on the fast track. Their con-fidence was high and Freeport's defensewas hard hitting. Edmond fell on a fum-bled handoff on Baldwin's next offen-sive play. Eason's quarterback sneak and1 yard TD run nine plays later gave.Freeport a 14-0 lead.• Jones intercepted a Baldwin pass onthe 12-yard line, stopping the Bruins'first major offensive drive. Eason com-pleted 5 of 7 passes for 88 yards, ran for47 yards on 11 carries, scored three TDsand 'made an interception at safety.Eason's 17-yard run gave Freeport a 21-0 halftime lead.

Co-captain Leslie Jackman was adominant .player as he ran for 62 yardson 15 carries, made an interception atsafety and returned a 21-yard punt.Freeport's defensive line gave 'the Red

Devils another shutout. Freeport is now5-0 on the season and will take on thesecond-place Dalers from Farmingdaleat home on Friday at 3 p.m.

Jorge Perez scored all four goals forFreeport as the Red Devils shut outLong Beach 4-0. Perez scored twice offbreak-away passes from EmanuelGamez and one off a .pass and touch byEdwin Perez and Edwin Acosta. JohnMassey's throw in set up Freeport's finalscore. This was Joaquin Viedma's sixthshutout. Carlos Cruz did a super job atsweeper and was supported by WilburCruz and Henry Garcia at defense.

Perez (2), Gamez (2), and Acostascored Freeport's five goals in the RedDevils 5-2 win over the ElmontSpartans. Viedma had eight saves ingoal and was supported by David Ortiz,C. Cruz, W. Cruz, Garcia, and Massey.

The Lady Devils Tennis Teamremains undefeated as the girls boostedtheir record to 10-0 following a 5-2 winover Roosevelt. Freeport is guaranteed aplayoff position. However, they mustplay Hicksville and reschedule a rainoutagainst-Valley Stream North beforeplayoffs can begin.
