72nd Year, No. 16 Freeport. N.Y. 11520 The Community Newspaper Thursday, April 19, 2007

What a storm! Freeport was hit by a delugeof rains that ripped through our area throughthe weekend and into Monday. According toRichard E. Holdener, ex-chief of the FreeportFire Department and head of EmergencyManagement, our village had 32 inches of rain.

In addition to the driving rains, high tidescaused moderate flooding in South Freeport asfar north as Atlantic Avenue near Hayes Street."The Monday morning tide was exceptionallyhigh, about 5.72 [feet]," said Mr. Holdener.

"But we didn't lose any homes or business-es and the old flood bowl didn't have the kindof damage we've seen in the past." He addedthat the mitigation efforts to raise streets inSouth Freeport made this storm "manageable."

"We haven't seen a storm like this one sinceDecember of '92," said Mr. Holdener. But thistime there weren t any power outages.

Village board awards contractsby Jim Golding

Contracts totaling SI.8 million wereawarded at Monday's Village Board meet-ing.

The contracts consisted of a Si. 13 mil-lion for the Claurome Place and WallaceStreet water transmission main, a 24-inchpipe connecting the Prince Street wells tothe main system.

A $595,000 contract was awarded toPioneer Landscaping and Asphalt PavingInc. of Kings Park for the South OceanAvenue and Southside Avenue roadimprovement project.

The board awarded two contracts forelectrical cables and related equipment,one for $23,000 to Stuart C. Irby Co. ofLiverpool, New York, and the other for$50,000 to The Okonite Company of WestPaterson, New Jersey.

Other businessIn other actions, trustees approved the

appointment of Brother Thomas Casey tothe Commission on Human Relations for athree-year term, an agreement with theNassau County Traffic Safety Board forparticipation in a countywide STOP DWIprogram, and a reduction in various assess-ments on the 2006 assessment roll, and tolower various assessments on the 2007assessment roll and tax roll.

Pubtic commentPrances Cooper asked about the status

of a vacant lot at 164 Moore Avenue, for

which the Zoning Board had approved avariance for the wrong developer in 2006,and why he and other residents of theneighborhood had not been notified aboutsubsequent developments relating to theissue.

Village Attorney Harrison Edwardsnoted that state law and the village ordi-nances do not require notification "of otherparties." A discussion that included MayorWilliam F. Glacken followed over whetherthe village code could be changed to allowfor notification, without overriding statelaw.

Mr. Edwards said he is 'looking intoiL" and would respond by the end of theweek

Mr. Cooper also asked if members ofthe various boards of the village govern-ment receive compensation or benefits.

Mayor Glacken and Mr. Edwardsresponded that board members, except forthe village trustees, receive no compensa-tion or health or other benefits, though theycan earn credit toward retirement if theyare part of the state retirement system.

Trustees also heard from Alan Jay,who complained about the increase of litteron the streets and called for educating res-idents, especially those who are new immi-grants from Third-World nations not famil-iar with local laws, and called on MayorGlacken to launch a "litter bug" campaignduring his visits to local schools.

Mr. Jay also called for a stiff finefor littering of $500 and/or 10 days injail.

Another tragedyWe can only imagine the feelings of two local fam-

ilies, the Schiffmans and the Kestenbaums, on hear-ing the news of the shootings on the Virginia Techcampus this week. Their own recent horror on hear-ing that their daughters had been shot and killedwhile away at another university, one studying andone visiting, must be still so raw.

Any shooting death is a tragedy, and we have suf-fered through ones that occurred here too. But thereis also a special agony when loved ones are far away,and families have trouble getting news about the sit-uation. It is an irreal nightmare.

The fact that these things can happen anywhere,any time makes it obvious that we need a nationalsolution to the problem. Our local CongresswomanCarolyn McCarthy made this her life's calling afterexperiencing a similar tragedy, when her husbandwas killed and her son severely wounded in a traincar on the Long Island Rail Road.

This cduntry still has a frontier mentality, and itdoes still have wide open spaces and many who hunt.But firearms are much too easy to obtain in manyplaces. And this includes some that could be consid-ered weapons of, if not mass destruction, majordestruction.

An Earth Day saSote:One man, making a differenceMerrick landscaper Jay Pitti loved the view from

atop the Merrick landfill, and when he heard itwould be closing, he began to lobby the Town ofHempstead to turn it into an overlook and preserve,hence the birth of the Overlook Preserve andSantuary Committee and ultimately the NormanLevy Park and Preserve.

Now, after several years of operation of the pre-serve, under the supervision of SanitationCommissioner Dick Ronan, the group is ready toevolve into the Friends of the Norman Levy Preserve,seeking input from those who use the preserve,including runners, educators, birders, Scouts and oth-ers. A meeting will be held in May.

Also, the preserve will host new eco-tours bykayak starting in June, according to Town ofHempstead Supervisor Kate Murray.

MEERKATS AND KIDS...Meerkatsare a kind of squirrel-like rodent whoseparenting habits were highlighted in themost recent "National Geographic"magazine. The 11 groups were studiedlive in the Kalahari Desert in Africa,and one of their main sources of food isthe scorpion.

The article describes the method bywhich the parent meerkat teaches itsyoung to learn the dangerous task ofovercoming its deadly prey.

First, the mother meerkat brings thebaby other dead prey — lizards andinsects. Then, as the baby meerkatmatures, the mother brings a woundedscorpion, with its stinger removed. Insubsequent lessons, the mother bringsan intact, live scorpion. By the time thebaby meerkat is three months old. it isready to feed itself.

After I marveled at this fascinatingprocess, my husband's comment wasmost telling. "And if they don't learntheir lesson, they die."

Consequences. In all of life, there iscause and effect and consequences. Andas I pondered that thought, I decidedthat perhaps, some of the problems withsociety today in general and education,in particular, is that we have assigned

soine of the consequences to the wrongpeople.

In meerkat society, if the little "pups"don't learn their lessons, they are theones who will either starve or die. In ourmore civilized society, however, weseem more and more intent on remov-ing consequences from the lives of ourkids.

We want them to be happy and suc-cessful and each child's parents have adifferent definition of how to measurethat success. But, perhaps, in our desireto keep our kids "happy" we do notallow them the struggles which lead tothat success nor do we require of themthe personal responsibility to attain thatsuccess.

In board of education meeting afterboard meeting, I listen as educatorsdescribe one or another new program ortechnique which must be initiated tohelp kids learn. I have no problem lis-tening to millions of dollars being allot-ted to those children with special needs,for these children are often workingharder than most of the rest of the stu-dent population.

pass an ever-growing number of tests.We see schools put on various watchlists when this doesn't happen. Thesame oversight is provided by the statewhere it, too, has decreed that practical-ly everyone must take and pass Regentsexams in order to graduate.

And when this doesn't happen, itseems that there is little acknowledg-ment of such obvious student behavioras absences, not doing homework, notparticipating in class and lack of disci-pline. Instead, so-called district orschool failures are listed in daily news-papers as though the district itself some-how didn't offer those children the toolsto succeed.

I just returned from a visit to myolder daughter in Virginia. This July,she will give birth, and suddenly, thist30-plus woman, who never thoughtshe would become a mother, is sudden-ly interested in school districts.

Unfortunately, the yuppie, gentrifiedarea where she lives is within theboundaries of a school that has lost itsaccreditation under "No Child LeftBehind." Parents are beginning to takeadvantage of their right to transfer theirchildren to another school.

But how much longer will it be, Iwonder, before the school to which theyare transferring their children begins to

suffer the same problems? What is thecause of the failure? Is it a program fail-ure or is it student resistence to learning?

Perhaps it is time for those with theirfingers'in the educational pie who arenot educators to start being more honest,about where they are assessing blame.

Perhaps before they start to point fin-gers, they should be made to sit in aclassroom of 23 children and see whatreally happens. Perhaps parents shouldbe told more clearly that if their chil-dren don't behave, don't study, don'tshow up and don't do homework, theywill fail.

But then, failure is a term we arereluctant to use. A recent article in theNew York Times even told parents"Don't use the word 'don't,'" We worryabout every child's self-esteem; wedon't want anyone to feel guilty, muchless shamed by their behavior. We fool-ishly let people believe that everyonecan enjoy the same outcomes despiteunequal effort.

It seems to me, we aren't as advancedas the meerkats in knowing how toteach our children. Perhaps it is time forus to emphasize to all our children thatthere are consequences to their actionsor lack of action, particularly since theirparents' bank accounts won't be avail-able to them forever.

A panel of Freeport High Schoolgraduates who went on to college led adiscussion on "The CollegeExperience," which helped middleschool students relate to the idea ofattending college. Other topics of dis-cussion that followed were:

• "The College Admissions Maze:What You Need To Know," moderatedby Ms. Campbell-Ham.

• "Financial Aid and the AdmissionsProcess," led by Mary Marquez Bell,

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE. VERIZON FiOS.

Who knew that music and video files would become as common as sendingsomeone a friendly two-line e-mail? Who knew that multiroom DVRs would quicklybecome a necessity? Who knew that regular TV would be transformed to HDTV andrequire its own special channels?

As you know, the future is now. Remember how little of this you were doing just a fewyears ago? Who knew that in a few short years your life and the life of your family wouldbe so transformed? Who knew that by now, you would be growing out of a system thatthe cable companies started building when 8-track tapes were hot?

Welcome to the future: Welcome to Verizon FiOS. At Verizon FiOS, we're notscrambling to catch up to the future— we're letting you grow into it. As you know, in thisday and age. content is king— music, videos, downloads, HDTV— and it's how we treatcontent as it comes into your house that makes us worth every penny.

Rather than sending everything in together, we assure quality by separatingour TV and HD content from our internet content. The result is amazing— if you'rewatching sports on FiOS TV, you practically have to wipe the sweat off your screen.(Ask your neighbors.) But that's not all...

We don't believe that your incoming Internet content should be mixed withyour outgoing Internet content. So we created enough capacity to give each itsown bandwidth. It's like getting two Internet services in one. With Verizon FiOS, youdon't need extra to get an extra boost of speed.

Cable was fine when you replaced your rabbit-ear antenna with a cablesubscription to get better TV reception. But cable companies aren't the ones to takeyou into the future. We are. When you compare cable to Verizon FiOS, whatever you'repaying them, and we think you'll agree, you're paying too much,

When the cable companies laid their cable down years ago, you had no need forthis sort of speed. Today you do— and just think how much more speed you'll needtomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

You see. we didn't start building our "networks" 40 years ago— before the modern eracame alon. We built them when the future became toda— when music files, video

von on s, multiroom DVRs. and HDTV became part of everyday life. Now, it's out with the old(cable) and in with the new: Verizon FiOS!

Direct deposit saves money, identityby Laura Schofer

Keep your money - and your identity.That was the message of a special pro-gram at the Merrick Senior Center thatfocused on educating seniors about pre-venting identity theft by direct-depositingtheir Social Security checks.

"Last year, more than 57,000 U.S. treas-ury issued checks valued at $54 millionwere forged," explained Town ofHempstead Supervisor Kate Murray."Seniors are especially vulnerable to iden-tity theft and these seminars [at the seniorcenters] are a good first step to reducingtheir chances of falling prey to criminals."

She added that "we have almost 28,000federal beneficiaries that reside within theTown of Hempstead. Direct deposit elim-inates the risk of stolen checks and for-geries. I encourage seniors to considerthis program."

Nearly 40 percent of Americans havebeen victims of identity theft, and usingdirect deposit is one way to be "proactiveand protect your money and identity,"said Michelle DeBenedetto of Citibank.

Direct deposit means your money goesstraight into your account and is availableimmediately. An individual does not haveto go to the bank, and a paper check isnever issued. "You can access your

money from virtually anywhere," saidSupervisior Murray, who added thatdirect deposit saves millions of taxpayerdollars. "Issuing a check costs 80 centsmore than issuing an electronic payment"

Ms. DeBenedetto also provided othertips for protecting your identity. "Nevercarry your Social Security card andkeep identification in your security box.Also, never give personal informationto anyone over the telephone and becareful how you respond to an e-mail.

"Always go to a registered site whenyou order something. Many [retailerson the web] will only ask you for thelast four digits of your credit card." Ms.DeBendetto added that everyone"should get a copy of their credit reportonce a year to make sure that the infor-mation pertains to you."

Also, "Use a paper shredder andshred anything with personal informa-tion on it," said Ms. DeBendetto.

Jerome Nelson, a Bellmore resident,thought the presentation was "very welldone. I already have direct deposit formy Social Security and my pension andit doesn't cost me anything.

"And," he added, "I have a shred-der. I shred my bills, tax forms, can-celled checks. It was a gift, a verypractical gift."

Saving Freeport open spaceBy Laura Schofer

The Brooklyn Waterworks propertyis back in the news. This time it's aneffort by the Audubon Society,and Environmentalist ChristineMarzigliano to keep the property frombeing developed.

"There is link open space left on theSouth Shore," explained Ms.Marzigliano, who hopes that some ofthe $100 million that was set aside forthe Environmental Bond Act of 2006can be used to buy the property andkeep it as open space.

The property is adjacent to theBrookside Preserve, just north of therailroad tracks on Brookside Avenue inFreeport. It is owned by Gary Melius."If this property were developed itwould be in the shadow of the pre-serve," said Mrs. Marzigliano. "If theproperty can be saved the hope is todemolish the building and extend themeadow."

The value of the property remains indispute - anywhere from $4 million to$8 million. In November of 2006 resi-dents overwhelmingly voted to pro-vide the county with $100 million in abond that would be used to preserveopen space, improve parks and waterquality as well as remediate brown-fields.

In 2004, a similar initiative was

passed with the largest chunk ofmoney for open space going to theNorth Shore. Local residents are hope-ful that this time the South Shore mayget more money for open space.

"A proposal [for the BrooklynWaterworks property] was submittedback then," said Mrs. Marzigliano."It's the same proposal."

If the county and the owner couldagree to a selling price, the propertywould be returned to its natural state."Once the building is demolished, themeadow would be planted with wild-flowers," said Mrs. Marzigliano. Theproperty would need periodic clean-ups that would be done by theAudubon Society.

The project was submitted to theEnvironmental Bond Committee inMarch. Accepted projects will beannounced in the early Fall.

In preparation for the opening of theFreeport Historical Museum on April29, Village Historian Cynthia Krieg andHistorical Society Trustee ReginaFeeney visited the Meadow IslandMonument.

Located south of the Loop Parkwaywhere Jones Inlet meets Swift Creek, theMeadow Island Monument is dedicatedto the Smith and Scott families who rana popular hotel on the island. The gran-ite and bronze monument was purchasedin 1905 by Mary Elizabeth Scott (neeSmith) for $1,450. One side of themonument lists the names of Mrs.

Scott's family: her parents, siblings, hus-band, and her children. The other side isdedicated to her brother Charles Smithwho was killed by lightning in 1862 andher son Charles A. Scott who lost his lifeon the battleship Maine when it blew upin Havana Harbor in 1898.

Accompanying Cynthia and Reginato Meadow Island were Point Lookoutresident Bill MacDonald andFreeporter Bob Kappel. To learnmore about Meadow Island, visit theFreeport Historical Museum onSundays from 2 to 5 p.m. and theFreeport Memorial Library.
