A conversation withCarolyn McCarthy

by Joan Delaney

"I came to Congress to fight for guncontrol, and I work on it even? week.But I also see things holistically: it's allconnected, education, health care,gangs, national security... If I fight forsomething, it's because I see it in mydistrict..."

With these words, six-term memberof Congress Carolyn McCarthydescribed her priorities, her work ethic,her activities, and the issues in whichshe has taken a special interest.

An Irish-American, she has takenpart in discussions involving Northernand southern Ireland which will sup-port the Good Friday peace agreementin Northern Ireland. A former nurse,she was asked by Congressman JackMurtha to be part of a committee inves-tigating conditions at Walter ReedArmy Hospital and making recommen-dations to improve care.

A widow as a result of the murderson the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR)over a decade ago, she continues topropose bills that would bring greaterenforcement and oversight to the legalpurchase of guns.

"They say I take it too personally."she noted. "You bet I do.""

Although topical issues fill so muchof her agenda. Mrs. McCarthy, in herdiscussion with local media last week.was equally knowledgeable and com-mitted to the day-in and day-out issueswhich affect her constituents.

She has worked hard to extend sen--ices for veterans, long before theWalter Reed issue became the focus ofmedia attention, and has worked with aVeterans Advisory Committee on itemsspecific to Long Island.

The tragedy of September 11 hasonly furthered her commitment both tonational security and the needs of fam-ily members.

"I visited the Family Center inRockville Centre at least twice a yearand am working to see if we can con-tinue to find funding for those families,particularly the children. I tell my col-leagues that these children are sufferingfrom post traumatic stress and still needfollow-up care."

"I don't talk in sound bites," sheexplained, as her answers to one ques-tion morphed into other issues -whichplay a part in complex problems. "I will

be sponsoring a committee meeting inFreeport on Monday, June 4, on gangs;111 bring some ranking Republicanswith me as well. Kids join gangsbecause they are looking for families.Education, health care, continuing edu-cation for parents- it's all part of theproblem. Schools, houses of worship,everyone has to work together."

Expanding on education, she notedher support of the most recent sugges-tion of Senator Hillary Clinton, who isadvocating universal pre-K education."I think Governor Spitzer is talkingabout it as well." she said, and stressedthe importance of early education. "Ifwe want to be competitive in the worldwe have to invest in education."Commenting on governmental man-dates which do not include sufficient

funding, she said that the 2008 federalbudget should fully fund No Child LeftBehind.

She added that some children, "needhelp from birth," a comment whichthen caused her to delve into otherhealth related issues. "We shouldexpand coverage for hearing aids forchildren as well as for adults over 65years old. There is a bill proposing a$500 tax credit for that."

Other discussion included commentson preliminary plans regarding the pro-posed third track expansion by theLIRR through mid-Nassau communi-ties. Saying that she would await finalplans before taking a stance, shestressed that she was "counting on the

Freeport school board receives district report card "0£»croo>

by Laraine A. MUazzo

At the May 23 meeting of theFreeport Board of Education, AssistantSuperintendent for curriculum Robert-Wayne Harris discussed the 2005-2006 New York State report card forthe Freeport School District

The elementary schools were rated"in good standing," by the state with 87percent of third graders scoring at lev-els three and four in English LanguageArts (ELA), and 84 percent of fourth-graders scoring at those levels.

In math testing, 93 percent of third-graders scored in levels three and four.Similarly, 94 percent of fourth-gradersscored at levels three and four. In sci-ence assessments, 97 percent of fourth-grade students scored at levels threeand four.

The Dodd Middle School has beentermed a school in nee4 of improve-ment though the district is rebutting thedesignation. Mr. Harris said that stu-dents are showing improvement. Inaddition, staff is working diligently toimprove social studies grades.

Freeport High School has been des-

ignated as a "school requiring academ-ic progress." Mr. Harris said there is adiscrepancy concerning the 2001cohort of graduates, and the matter isbeing investigated. The assistantsuperintendent said that the statisticshowing the number of students goingon to four-year colleges can be verymisleading since many students chooseto attend two-year colleges initially.

While the district has many pro-grams in place there are plans to addnew initiatives to help students suc-ceed including: one to one tutoring,extra help, eighth grade ELA and mathopen tutorials, Regents reviews andsummer enrichment programs.

Board member Michael Raab askedwhat the district has been doing wrong.Mr. Harris replied that there are manyvariables to consider and that manystudents in the district arrive withoutknowlege of English. The staff isundergoing an immense amount oftraining which will certainly be of ben-efit to the students, he added.In addition, Mr. Harris said that theadoption of a full-day kindergartenwill ensure that "these students will be

asked if there were any strategies orresources to assist students in movingfrom level two to three. Mr. Harrisresponded that there are some andefforts will be made to focus onincreasing test levels.

Superintendent Eric Eversley saidthat administrators and teachers areconcerned about this issues. "Our jobis to fix it," said Dr. Eversley, addingthat where progress is being made, "weneed to celebrate."

Freeport High School guidanceplan

High school principal KimberleePierre introduced guidance counselorsRosemary Garcia, Emma Perdomo andBlanca Tapia (Kim Freeman wasunable to attend the meeting) to dis-cuss the guidance plan they havedeveloped.

Ms. Pierre said it was the only guid-ance curriculum in Nassau County.Parent representatives also participateJdin the development of the plan. Theprogram is founded upon three tenets:delivery, management and accountabil-ity.

The delivery system encompassesindividual student planning, schoolcounseling, responsive services andsystem support. Systems are set inplace to manage the individual plan-ning. Accountability includes the studyof school demographics, average SATscores and a summary of AdvancedPlacement (AP) exams. The programhelps students succeed while recogniz-ing the role of parents in that success.

Ms. McQuillan, recalling her son's

•experiences, said "The program is setup for success."

Code of ConductMichael Singleton, executive direc-

tor for operations, presented boardmembers with a revised student codeof conduct which included revisions inthe infraction section regarding therange of consequences for offenses.

In her report on the PolicyCommittee, trustee Carmen Pineyrosaid that it had reviewed procedures onprincipal suspensions and superintend-ent suspensions and appeals.

Arguments ensued over whether par-ents should have the ability to appealto the board in person or in writing.Both Mr. Raab and board memberRonald Ellerbe supported a face to facemeeting with parents. Trustee DebraMul€ said that the written appeal couldbe made in the language of the parent,or could be written by an advocate.

Kudos to studentsThe award-winning Freeport High

School Select Chorale opened themeeting with a stirring rendition of"The Star-Spangled Banner."

At the recent NYSSMA competition,the Select Chorale group won the levelsix award while the mixed chorusachieved level five.

Mr. Ellerbe recommended that theSelect Chorale audition for the NYSSB(New York State School Boards) con-vention which will take place in NewYork City later this year.

State Senator Charles Fuschillo, chairman of the New YorkState Senate consumer protection committee, conducted a pub-lic hearing at JFK Airport Thursday to prepare an AirlinePassengers Bill of Rights to ensure, as his Senate colleague,John Sarini, put it, that "passengers are not treated like cattle."

Under his proposed state law, airlines at New York airportswould be required to provide snacks and water, fresh air andpower and working restrooms to passengers on any plane on thetarmac for more than three hours. An Office of AirlineConsumer Advocate within the New York State ConsumerProtection Board would help coordinate with airlines, federalagencies and airports in case of an incident.

Air carriers would have to post consumer complaint informa-tion at airline service desks and other locations in airports.

In questioning Alfred Graser, general manager at JFK, and airtraffic controller Dean lacopelli, Senator Fuschillo concludedthat it is the airline's function to decide if an airplane will bekept on the tarmac with passengers aboard. He expressed frus-tration that no airline representatives were present to give oraltestimony and allow "sunshine" on their written responses.And he opined that it was in their economic interest to keeptheir passengers happy.

Still, according to Mr. Graser, during the recent Valentine'sDay storm when Jet Blue passengers were kept on the tarmacfor over 10 hours, the airline did not notify the Port Authorityuntil then. The airport could have provided vehicles, stairs,locations to stay, cots and even baby formula.

As Jet Blue passengers Frarices Corrado and David Merelisput it, "there were systems that didn't work that day and theyneed to be: addressed." Jet Blue has since provided aPassengers' Bill of Rights including promises to communicatenews of delays or cancellations and to provide amenities tothose stranded on the tarmac for more than five hours, includingmedical care if needed. Assemblyman Dave McDonough askedKate Hanni, president of the Coalition for a Passengers Bill ofRights, if it would be a good model for legislation, and shethought so, adding that all airlines should have to abide by apassengers' bill of rights for there to be a "level playing field."

According to Mrs. Hanni, "prisoners of war have morerights." She praised Senator Fuschillo for pushing for theserights. When he asked what passengers should do in the mean-time if stranded on an airplane, she responded, "Call themedia." Her coalition and its blog were established to give pas-sengers, pilots and flight attendants a voice. Those who want tohelp push for federal and state laws protecting passengers maycontact www.flyersrights.org.

Mrs. Hanni called JFK the "airport with the worst record"where 169 planes sat on the tarmac last year for more than threehours. What is the airport doing about it? Mr. Graser said onesolution for the winter is to provide contractors with a place tostore de-icing fluids at the airport.

This summer, many storms are predicted and expected tointerrupt airline travel, and he encourages airlines to contact thePort Authority as soon as possible so passengers can be relo-cated before an inconvenience becomes an ordeal.

This is a serious matter. Poor hygiene can cause the spread of

HONEST LONG RANGE PLAN-NING...It has been said that "longrange planning works best in the shortterm." That certainly seems to be thecase when it comes to the BaldwinSchool District and its long range suc-cession planning.

About five years ago, recognizingthat several of its key administratorswere eligible to retire, the district hiredconsultants to help them figure out thebest administrative structure going for-ward. They also began to plan for howthey would ease into that transition.

Ed Cigna was hired as an assistantsuperintendent with the intention thathe take on the business and administra-tive tasks performed by Dr. LeeChapman,' then the district's deputysuperintendent with responsibilities forboth personnel and finance.

The personnel aspect of Dr.Chapman's job had evolved when for-mer Assistant Superintendent forPersonnel Phyllis Almenoff retired andwasn't replaced during a period whenthere was a real budget crunch.

Mr. Cigna worked alongside Dr.Chapman for one year and then took onthe reins of finance by himself for ayear while Dr. Chapman focused onpersonnel. That plan would have beengreat except for the fact that Mr Cignareceived an offer he couldn't refusefrom an upstate private school near hisgrown children and grandchildren,where he could both teach and beinvolved in administration. So he gavenotice, stayed through the summer andleft. He was replaced for one year by aninterim assistant superintendent, Gene

Levenstien, and this year with FrankFiumano.

Meanwhile, upon Dr. Chapman'sretirement, the district hired Dr. ShirleyMartin as the assistant superintendentfor human resources. Subsequently,effective July, 2005, the district hiredDr. Robert Britto to replace longtimeSuperintendent Dr. Kathy Weiss.

In February, 2007, Dr. Martin sud-denly officially retired and Dr. ThomasCaramore, a former superintendent ofschools, joined the Baldwin staff as theassistant superintendent for humanresources. Interestingly, that appoint-ment was effective December 7, 2006.At the time, the appointment of a for-mer superintendent to become an assis-tant superintendent for humanresources seemed somewhat strange. Inretrospect it seems more than coinci-dentally prescient.

On May 22, Dr. Britto's resignationwas announced, effective June 30. Withthat announcement came the concurrentannouncement that Dr. Caramore willbecome interim superintendent as ofMay 25, effective until June 30, andwill be paid $1,000 a day. Plans for thefuture are still unknown according tothe board president, a statement that ismore than a little disturbing.

Pundits have said that "Most plansare just inaccurate predictions," andperhaps, when it comes to people, thisis especially true. However, one beginsto wonder about the interpersonaldynamics of a district when there issuch upheaval, when so many coinci-dences occur and especially when somuch is left unexplained. Also added to

this scenario is the fact that the districtseems to have a long history of notbeing able ttrrecognize the talents of itsown people.

Only two of the nine present princi-pals came from within the district.Meanwhile, there were many home-grown talents who were eagerlyscooped up by other districts as princi-pals, assistant superintendents andeventually superintendents. Why did somany of our staff who labored to securetheir various administrative certificatesand degrees linger unrecognized untilthey retired or else left to go where theywere appreciated?

Why is Baldwin becoming sodependent on "interims?" It's an inter-esting game that the education com-munity seems to be encouraging, apractice some would call "double dip-ping" in other professions.Administrators in education, who canretire so early in comparison to profes-sionals in the private sector, leave dis-tricts with big pensions and benefitsand then go elsewhere as highly paid"interims."

If it is so hard to find regular quali-fied administrative help in a timelymanner, perhaps the education industryshould start looking at how this can beresolved. But of course, where's theincentive to curtail this lucrative prac-tice?

Since the media was not allowed anyquestions at the brief special meetingheld to announce Dr. Britto's resigna-tion, perhaps we can be indulged ourinquisitiveness when we pose somerhetorical questions of the Baldwin

board.• Does the board intend to give the

next permanent superintendent a thor-ough transition as well as meaningfulintroductions to the many facets of theBaldwin community?

• Is the board going to provide sus-tained support for a new superintendentif his or her initiatives require staff tomove beyond their comfort zones andtry different approaches to achieve bet-ter outcomes?

• Does the board ever intend to initi-ate the practice of announcing publical-ly the financial terms of contracts or isit always going to be necessary forreporters and residents to have to askand probe or avail themselves ofFreedom of Information requests? Thedetails of contracts of public employeesare not secret agreements and shouldnot be confused with information, suchas severances, which legally fall underthe purview of privacy laws.

Neither should the board deemitself "precluded" from answeringquestions regarding new expendi-tures, such as costs for a superintend-ent search, which have not been pub-lically acknowledged as being in thebudget they presented for voterapproval.

And finally, as a reporter who hasobserved numerous past boards of edu-cation over the years who were forth-coming, courageous and honest wheninforming the public about difficult sit-uations, the question that now begs tobe asked is, "Can the Baldwin commu-nity be faulted for doubting their pres-ent policy makers?"

ART STUDENTS AND TEACHERS from Dodd Middle School and Freeport HighSchool gathered at the Freeport Memorial Library to kick off an art exhibit fea-turing the talents of middle and high school students in the district.

Freeport showcasesits best artists

The Freeport Memorial Libraryshowcased the creative talents ofFreeport's best secondary art studentsduring its annual exhibit. But studentswere not the only ones in the spot-light.

During a reception for the exhibit'skick-off, students and staff turnedattention to Charles Puricelli,Freeport's coordinator of the arts, tohonor him for his 36 years of service.Puricelli is retiring after the school yearends.

Set among a spectrum of speciallyselected artwork by Dodd MiddleSchool and Freeport High School stu-dents, Mr. Puricelli said he was hum-bled by staff and students.

"I am so proud of the whole artdepartment," he said. "I am lucky to

have worked with such a tremendousgroup of people. It has been veryrewarding to work with such talentedkids and such a dedicated staff."

Mr. Puricelli, who said he considershimself a strong advocate for the arts,plans to stay active in organizationssuch as the New York State Council ofAdministrative Music Educators andthe Nassau County Music EducatorsExecutive Board.

Artists and their families were invit-ed-to the library for a reception inhonor of the talented students whowere selected to participate in theexhibit.

The show was coordinated byCatherine Rode, Freeport High Schoolart teacher and facilitator of art for thedistrict.

Farewell, Dr. Britto

To The Leader:The Board of Education would like

to inform members of the Baldwinschool community that Dr. Robert J.Britto, superintendent of schools, willbe leaving the district as of June 30.We acknowledge his service to theschool community over the last twoyears and wish him well in his futureendeavors.

Dr. Thomas Caramore, currently theinterim assistant superintendent forhuman resources, has agreed to tem-porarily assume the responsibilities ofthe superintendent of schools, whichwill facilitate a smooth transition in

the leadership of the district. Dr.Caramore's entire career has been ineducation, first as a teacher and later asan administrator and superintendent.We havelull confidence in the level ofprofessional experience he brings tothe district and look forward to work-ing with him.

During the 2007-08 school year, asearch will be conducted for a perma-nent superintendent of schools for theBaldwin School District.

A conversation with Carolyn McCarthy "0fa

from page 1mayors" in the affected communities toprovide some of the feedback relative tothe impact that the plans would have onhomes.

Regarding Iraq, she said that therewould be an emergency caucus thatevening but believed that any bills should"follow the recommendations of the 9/11iX>mmission relative to benchmarks. Thebottom line is that the money has to get toshe soldiers." Expanding that view, shesaid that she believed that the Pentagondid noi adequately anticipate the numbersof casualties who would need follow-uphealth care.

"it's not the hospital [Walter Reed]: it'sme outer buildings for the outpatients who•;ced follow-up rehabilitation from headinjuries. Part of the problem is that WalterReed was scheduled to close in 2009.That's not going to happen, but we have toreach out; head injury requires compre-hensive treatment, I suggested that theyhave a nurse coordinator to help thesepatients with then" care. When you havehead injury, you can't do all this yourself."

She added that "the worst of the bar-racks have been closed," but said that thelack of rehabilitation facilities in ruralareas has required more soldiers to stay orreturn to Walter Reed for treatment Shenoted that the proposed budget willinclude a SI billion increase for health andveterans' care. "We promised it to themand they deserve it."

Commenting on the immigration issue,Mrs. McCarthy said that the present bill,as described by the media, is unlikely to bethe final proposal. "We have a chance todo it right now so we don't have to do itagain."

She added that she believed that any billmust include provisions for national secu-rity and border control. "I don't like theidea of a fence. We spent a lifetime as acountry helping other countries take downfences. I think there is a better high-techway of doing it."

Stressing that there must be backgroundchecks, oversight of employers so theydon't hire illegals, and fines, she added,"There must be a path to citizenship. Lookat France. Germany and the UnitedKingdom. They don't give their immi-grants a path to citizenship and look at thehatred that provokes."

Noting the difficulty of estimating thereal number of undocumented people liv-ing in the country, she said that census fig-ures alone don't provide the information."They use electric biDs and input fromother groups who work with the poor,"adding that the number of undocumentedimmigrants in the Fourth CongressionalDistrict has been estimated as between50,000 to 70,000 people.

In ho- wide-ranging comments, Mrs.Me Carthy touched on many of the issuesthat are within the purview of Congressand stressed the complexity of thoseissues. "There's no perfect bill," she said"What I have to do is find a balance.Everything I do, I look at how it affects thepeople of the Fourth CongressionalDistrict."

In an acknowledgment of the politicsinvolved in it all, she said, "There is a totof criticism of the oversight we want toprovide. Well, we have the purse strings sowe have to have the oversight."

Recognizing the partisanship in thedebate on immigration, one of the mostvolatile issues, she said, "The President isgoing to have to deliver 60 to 70

Republican votes for any immigration bill;otherwise, it's goag to be held against uswhen we run for re-election."

And finally, speaking of her congres-sional district, her commitment to all of itspeople and particularly to those minoritycommunities and schools she describes as"underserved," she returned to her specialconcern, gun control and the bills she hasproposed to improve the instant criminalbackground checks, to ban assaultweapons, and to close gun-show loop-holes. She described her more positive

relationship with colleagues who aremembers of the National Rifle Association(NRA) who agree with her on manyissues, differentiating them from anothergroup, the Gun Owners of America.

Describing the continued resistence bysome to any kind of gun control, she said,"They think the issue only aftects certaincommunities, urban communities, minori-ty communities. Well, all the recent horri-ble shootings have been in Midwesternwhite schools."

For many people Hurricane Katrina,which hit New Orleans on August 29,2005, is just a distant memory.Investigations and finger pointing havesubsided, celebrity interest has dwin-dled, and many of the high-end hotels,restaurants and tourist attractions aremostly back to normal.

But for many, especially the poor,the devastation of Katrina is an on-going problem and one which requiresoutside help. For that reason,Baldwinite Connee Smith, along withher friends Maureen Lane and formerBaldwinites Pat and Marty McTigue,decided to participate in an Elderhostelproject that would allow them to helpthose in need and also enjoy some ofthe traditional activities of tourists.

"It was the best of both worlds," saidMrs. Smith, who had participated in aprevious Elderhostel experience withher late husband Norbert. "We went toUtah, and it was wonderful. You seethe sights - Bryce and Zion - but youhave a geologist with you explainingeverything."

The New Orleans experience wouldalso contain the combinededucation/vacation components, butwould add a third - helping others.

"I thought I knew about Katrina,"said Mrs. Smith who had watched thetragedy on television and read about itsaftermath. As a volunteer in variousactivities at St. Christopher's Parish inBaldwin, she also has had many expe-riences in ministries which assist thepoor.

"I found that if you don't know

something presonally, you don't reallyknow it," she said as she explainedhow the Elderhostel project really putthe tragedy in better perspective.

"They are very organized. There's ayoung couple; the wife coordinates thesupplies and the husband coordinatesthe people. Everyone is assigned atask."

She explained that in Elderhostel,many of the people are retired from thefields of education and medicine. Thecatalogue description of the activitysuggests that participants "be able towalk up to four miles," Mrs. Smithexplained, "It's not that we had to walkso much, but they figured if you hadthe stamina to walk four miles, youcould work on the project."

Mrs. Smith painted. She said a for-mer nurse who is 89 years old paintedall the wrought iron. One man fixedwindow sashes while others worked onroofs and soffits.

They worked on two homes; thefirst, a small one-family bungalow andthe second, a two-family house. "Itwas amazing. Here I am, Mrs. Smithwho has seven daughters, and the sec-ond home was owned by a Mr. Smithwho had six daughters."

The volunteers were picked up attheir hotels and worked from about 9a.m. to mid afternoon. Then theyreturned to their hotels, showered andrested for evening activities thatincluded lectures, an IMAX film onthe history of New Orleans "and how itgot to this point" as well as dinners ata Cajun cooking school and famousrestaurants such as The Garden of Two

He suggested thata study be done of the methods used bythe successful districts

Dr. Renken had a number of ques-tions regarding the alternative school,asking whether it would be on site oroff, how will staffing be accomplished,what model will be used and the criteria

used for students. Dr. Eversley said thequestions would be addressed when allof the information on the alternativeschool has been put together.
