Though the Fourth of July hasbeen over for six weeks, there wereplenty of fireworks at Monday'sVillage Board meeting over the issueof the administration's decision tolease property to Catholic Charitiesto operate a day laborer site.

In a public comments segmentthat lasted nearly two hours, morethan a dozen speakers on both sidesof the issue vented their opinionswith opponents angrily criticizingMayor William F. Glacken andtrustees over what they viewed asthe use of public funds to support aproject undertaken to aid "illegalimmigrants" and employers whomay not be paying taxes and theadministration's not allowing publicdebate before making its decision,while those sympathetic to the pro-gram leveled charges of bigotry andracism at the critics.

The approximately 40 persons inattendance seemed nearly evenlydivided on the issue based on theirreactions to the various speakers.

The board made its decision tosupport the project at meetings in thespring and in June, when it okayed a$20,000 Community DevelopmentBlock Grant to Catholic Charities ofthe Diocese of Rockville Centre toestablish the site and approved theleasing of property at parking field20 across from Home Depot nearBennington Avenue off SunriseHighway for $250 a month rent.

Mayor Glacken told the opponentsat Monday's meeting that the villagewas concerned about traffic conges-tion and safety problems in its deci-sion to support the project, whichwill go into operation near the end ofAugust.

For several years, between 100and 200 men, primarily Latinos,have gathered each morning at theDunkin' Donuts parking lot near theLong Island Rail Road platform inhopes of getting work from contrac-tors or homeowners as day laborers.The situation has created dangeroustraffic conditions.

A message from FreeportSuperintendent Dr. Eric Eversley

I am very happy to welcome Freeportfamilies and our community back toschool for what promises to be both arewarding and challenging 2002-03school year. As our students and staffreturn on September 4, they wi l l feel theexcitement of the unlimited possibili-ties of another year and new and freshopportunities to buikl 'upon last year'slearning.

There's no denying that this is a veryspecial, milestone year. We will beopening our state-of-the-art new wingat Freeport High School, and in a fewmonths, the beautiful New VisionsSchool of Exploration] and Discoveryon Raynor Street. 1 invite the entirecommunity to join in celebrating thesewonderful environments in which theyoung people of our community will belearning, and I- thank you for your con-tinued support during the constructionperiod.

Even more exciting than the openingof these new facilities are the plans thatare underway to analyze student andtest data and use those findings tostrengthen curriculum and instructionand, ultimately, enhance student perfor-mance. We currently have many stu-dents performing at high levels andcompleting their studies with excel-lence. At the same time, we are notpleased with the overall performance oftoo many of our students on New YorkState Assessments. Our work this yearwill be to build on past efforts andimplement different ; structures toenhance our students' success on theseassessments. Our goal is for theFreeport Schools to rank well amongother, high-achieving Nassau Countydistricts. r

To accomplish this, administration,

polioo mows

staff and students will work and focusas one, and we call upon every parentand guardian of every Freeport studentand our friends and role models in theFreeport community to be a part of oursuccess.

Parents: You are welcome in yourchild's school. Throughout the year, Iencourage you to maintain regular com-munication with your child's teacher(s),and strive with us to keep the home-school connection strong. We need youto be aware of the quality of your stu-dent's schoolwork. They need to knowthat you value schooling and expecttheir attendance, punctuality, properbehavior and best efforts daily.

Friends and neighbors in the Freeportcommunity: We need you to develop acommunity-wide consensus for educa-tion. Everyone needs to tell our childrenthe importance of working hard atschool and striving for excellence. Askthem how they are doing in school. Ialso invite you to visit with us as a par-ticipant in a career day or educationalcelebration. Be part of an appreciativeaudience when students sing, perform,

. or display their art. You will enjoy theexperience, and the students^will reaphuge benefits from your support!

As I begin my second year asFreeport's Superintendent, I look for-

• ward to the exhilarating experience. we'll share as we work together for-the

success of Freeport students and thecontinuous improvement of ourschools. This is not easy work, but nec-essary to assure that our students haveaccess to the best that post-secondaryschooling has to offer.

'Golden Age' housing to replace Freeport Hospitalby Chris Sippel

During a special meeting held on Wednesday,August 14, the Freeport Board of Trustees votedunanimously to approve a task force recommenda-tion that Anray Custom Builders' proposal beaccepted in conjunction with village plans to devel-op the site of the old Freeport Hospital into "GoldenAge" residential housing units. Under the Anrayplan, the two-lot property located at 267 SouthOcean Avenue will be transformed into a Victorian-style complex called Beachwood Commons, con-sisting of 16 condominium units, each with threebedrooms and overall floor space of 2,000 squarefeet. The cost of the Beachwood Commons projectas submitted by Anray is $800,000.

Eight different construction firms submitted pro-posals for the project, all of which were given care-ful consideration by the nine-member Freeport HospitalTask Force headed by Ellen Kelly, Executive Director ofthe Freeport Community Development Agency. As a partof the village's requests for proposals (RFP), the compa-nies involved in the bidding were asked to do their utmostto maintain the character of the area when coming up withtheir individual plans. In adhering to this request, Anray'splan will preserve the 75-80-year-old copper beech treelocated on the site for which their plan is named,"Beechwood Commons." However, the Anray plan doesnot include the restoration of the main house or carriagehouse located on the property.

In addition, each proposal was carefully reviewed as tothe overall benefit to the community based on: purchaseprice, but primarily not exclusively; long-term increase oftax base; long-term employment opportunities created byprojected uses of the premises; short-term construction jobopportunities; applicant's demonstrated knowledge andexperience in developing this type of project; amount ofequity proposed by the developer, benefit to the communi-ty at large, impact on the surrounding neighborhood;design quality and viable proposals for the rehabilitation oradaptive rescue of the existing house and Carriage House.

Following the board meeting, Ms. Kelly said that theAnray proposal was selected because, in addition to its

The fifth freedom:freedom to learn

In early September, over a half century ago, a university student satwriting his dissertation and looking out overa courtyard from whichthe sounds of a radio wafted in. And that is how he learned-thatEngland had declared war on Germany and World War II had begun.A half year later his own country would be occupied.

And just a year ago, his granddaughter turned on the television asshe prepared to leave for classes in Washington, D.C. Images of thetwin towers in New York City and the Pentagon five minutes awayfrom her, both in flames, played on the screen while she tried to findout if classes were still being held and if her family in New York werealright. Concerns had to be reined in, and papers still had to be writ-ten while threats of future attacks permeated the airwaves.Like hergrandfather before her, she exercised her freedom to learn.

Around the world today, students in war zones are kept away fromschool and university. Often, when they can go, they are threatenedand distracted by violent events.

In this country, American students used to feel more insulated fromviolence and war and free1 to concentrate on their studies. No more.

The comforting images of Norman Rockwell's paintings are famil-iar-to almost everyone. One set features the four freedoms first out-lined by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A man in a work shirt stands upin a public meeting to use his freedom of expression. A group ofparishioners clasp their hands to exercise their freedom of religion. Afamily gathers for Thanksgiving enjoying freedom from want. A cou-ple tucks in their two children while the husband holds a newspaperwith a headline about a bombing. Will they be safe from war? Canthey be free from fear? '

The idealized version of life in the United States is still very mucha part of our world view, but it has expanded to include a greater real-ization that what is taken for granted can be lost. And one freedomthat must not be lost is one not included in Roosevelt's four free-'doms, the freedom to learn.

We could call it the fifth freedom.In the coming weeks, local students will head back to school to

exercise that freedom. When they sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee,Sweet Land of Liberty" they will find new meaning in its words.They will pause to remember {he events of September 11 and hear forthe first time or the 100th, the Declaration of Independence,Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and the Four Freedoms speech byFranklin Roosevelt.

They have a job to do. Their education, and that of other youngpeople around the globe, is the cornerstone on which their future willbe built.

Our job is to ensure their freedom to learn.* * *

The program, open to new and veteran teachersalike, promotes literature-driven, interactive class-room instruction that helps students better retainwhat they learn. "If you can personalize learningfor students and help them make a meaningfulconnection, they will have that connection forlife," says Susan DeLuca, assistant principal atNew Visions School, and the primary instructor

for this program.Ms. DeLuca presented a variety of lessons using

picture books that targeted .specific curricula foreach grade. She showed teachers how to use atechnique called "front-loading" to tap into stu-dents' prior knowledge before starting newinstruction. In lively presentations, she demon-strated the importance of visuals to .help studentsremember what they learn.

Ms. DeLuca taught the program with PatriciaGeyer, a staff development expert from BankStreet College, who was hired through theFreeport Magnet School grant. :

SUSAN DELUCA showed teachers how they can use picture books to help students make mean-ingful connections in the real world.

GOOD ENOUGH...My friend whoraised four children, taught reading parttime, and had a dog, calls herself the"Good Enough Gal" when it comes tohousekeeping.

Her husband, a radiologist, however,is Mr. Perfection, an outgrowth, nodoubt, of his profession.

As children return to school, as thestate puts more and more pressure onschool districts, as parents ponder justhow much to push their children, itseems that it is important to distinguishbetween good, good enough, and per-fect.

A professor at Columbia University,speaking on a radio talk show, said thather biggest problem was teaching MBAstudents not to do a job better than itneeds to be done.

On the other hand, the author JimCollins, who wrote the book "Good toGreat" about companies that hadachieved greatness, said that hisresearchers found that being good some-times prevented companies frombecoming great.

An accounting professor, trying to

impress on his students the importanceof accuracy and quality, asked if theythought that 99.9 percent quality wasenough. When they responded affirma-tively, he pointed out that with 99.9 per-cent quality, there would be 2 unsafelandings a day at O'Hare airport, 16,000pieces of mail lost per hour by the U.S.Postal Service, and 500 incorrect surgi-cal procedures a week. In S9me cases99.9 percent is not good enough.

Clearly, however, children do nothave to be perfect in every way, everyday. But how do we encourage them tostrive hard and somehow internalize thedesire to learn, to achieve, to excel andto reach mastery. On its standardizedtests, New York State educators distin-guish among students who meet stan-dards and reach competency and thosewho achieve mastery.

In "Good to Great" Mr. Collins speaksof a newly hired track coach who.did notfeel that the emphasis should be on pizzaand outings in order to encourage kids topractice. She wanted them to developthe desire to run, to run fast, and toexcel. The desire to excel, she felt,

A message from BaldwinSuperintendent Kathy WeissThe events of last year caused each

of us to reflect on what is important inour lives. We have all grown, not onlypersonally, but professionally, as aresult of these catastrophes. As webegin a new school year, I know thatwe will bring to it a great deal ofenthusiasm and pride.

This year, we will be welcomingapproximately 65 new teachers and 7new administrators. There will beadditional math remediation and socialwork services at the elementary level.There will be new remediation pro-grams in mathematics andreading/writing at the middle school.Social work services are beingincreased at both the middle schooland high school. To improve schooltone, two full-time deans for the mid-

dle school and two additional full-timedeans for the high school were hired.

Just as technology continues tochange and expand, we will beexpanding our web site by adding aWide Area Network (WAN) in the dis-trict. This network will provide inter-connectivity between all ten buildingsand provide faster and more reliableInternet service. We anticipate thatWAN will be operational by January2003. We will also begin using list-serves to communicate with the com-munity.

As always, it is a privilege to workwith each of you. We may not alwaysagree, but it is apparent to all that thehighest priority in Baldwin is the suc-cess of our students. Together, we canmake great things happen!

should be at the basis of their team par-ticipation. While they should be moti-vated and able to experience enjoyablesocial events, they shouldn't have to becoaxed, cajoled, and manipulated. "Findsomething you enjoy enough to want toexcel at," was her philosophy.

As school begins, parents must notexpect teachers alone to provide the dis-cipline and love of learning that mustfirst come from the home.

Also, teachers mustn't say or imply "Idon't like being here any more than you,do."

Somehow as children get older, wemust continue to transmit the joy ofachievement that a child had when hefirst rode a two-wheeler without help,printed her name, or fit a puzzle pieceinto the right notch.

We must encourage the curiosity inlearning that all our children had so thata walk down the block was an adventureas little ones bent over to examine a leafor an acorn or even a dead bug.

We must respond with the same

enthusiasm to excellency in academicsas we do to a touchdown; the sameencouragement to sounding out wordsand memorizing the mult ipl icat iontables as we do to finding' the rightclothes for the first day of school; thesame care and effort in creating a placeat home for children to study as wewould in purchasing for them the newesttoy or tickets to a rock concert or ballgame.

When I would take my 92 year olddad to the doctor for a blood pressurecheck, the doctor would invariably saycasually, "Good enough." Finally, onedad my father looked at him and replied,"You know, Doc, there's at least a tenpoint difference between "Good" and"Good enough."

Parents and teachers must begin thenew school year helping children to setpriorities and then making it possible forthem to achieve their goals. Sometimes,"Good enough" is good enough.Sometimes, it's not. Kids need guidancein learning the difference.

New school in town: De La Salle at Holy RedeemerBy Laura Schofer

Brother Thomas Casey has come toFreeport to develop his ministry, one thatwas founded some four hundred years agoby a French priest named John Baptist DeLa Salle. Father La Salle created a com-munity of school teachers who openedtuition free schools to provide a humanand Christian education for the children ofthe working class and poor. OnSeptember 3, the De La Salle School formiddle school aged boys will open in oneof the classrooms of the former HolyRedeemer School on Pine Street. On thatday, 15 fifth grade boys from economical-ly disadvantaged families will becomepioneers. They will take their first stepson a road that "hopefully will lead themto a better life, one that could include acollege education," said Brother Thomas.

Brother Thomas Casey is a member ofthe De La Salle Christian Brothers and theExecutive Director of the new De LaSalle School. He is a man with a warmfriendly smile, sparkling blue eyes and asoft voice. But don't be fooled by hisdemeanor. He means business and hisbusiness is making sure that young boysfrom disadvantaged families have theopportunity to receive a quality Catholiceducation. "The school will provide avehicle for addressing the educational,developmental and spiritual needs ofyoung men whose contribution to thegood of society might otherwise bethwarted," said Brother Thomas.

The Christian Brothers are committedto service to the poor through educationand believe in small educational settingsthat provide for individualized attention."We are starting with just 15 boys in thefifth grade," said Brother Thomas. "Wewill concentrate on reading, writing, arith-metic, respect and service." As a Catholicschool it will also cultivate "a valuesbased learning environment marked byfaith, community service and worship,"added Brother Thomas.

Tennis tourney honors Smithby Mike Baglieri

The sounds of Charlie Parker playinghis saxophone provided the backdropfor a spirited competition betweendozens of friends and colleagues lastweekend. The competition was an invi-tational tennis tournament, which tookplace in the newly renovated courts ofNorth East Park. The tournament hon-ored Earl "Sparky" Smith, and was thefirst of its kind held on the refurbishedcourts.

Earl Smith graduated from ErasmusHall High School class of '46 and waselected to the All-City Basketball team.

, Mr. Smith then attended Virginia UnionUniversity where he received his B.S. inHistory and went on to do graduatework in education at both BrooklynCollege and Hofstra University. SparkySmith then spent 35 years working as ateacher and administrator in the NewYork public school system.

"Sparky has been a mentor to so manyof us, he is a living example of alwaysstriving to do your best," said CharlesNanton, longtime friend to Sparky and acompetitor in Sunday's event.

In addition to honoring-Mr. Smith, thetournament also celebrated the restora-tion of North East Park tennis courts.All of the courts have-been resurfaced,new fencing was put \n- place and anoverhead lighting system will make thecourts available to the public until 10.p.m. Many of the tournament's particUpants have played on the North EastPark courts in the years before the reno-vation. "Years ago the courts were com-posed of a mixture of dirt, grasslandbroken glass. The newly finished courtsare representative of the upward mobili-ty in the community," said tournamentorganizer Andrew George Coward.

Mayor William -Glacken, whosefather built North East Park, was one ofthe driving forces behind the tenniscourts' restoration. "I would like to givethanks to the Mayor, Public RelationsDirector Pat Murphy, FreeportRecreation's Leroy Meyers, and theFreeport community. Through our com-bined efforts, we have accomplishedsomething great, and we shall leave itbehind as a legacy for the youth," saidMr. Coward.

The new SAT: speculations about testingby Heather Kugelmass

Is the new SAT an improvement? Thatseems to be the hardest question yet.After several years of consideration anddebate, changes to the ScholasticAptitude Test were unanimouslyapproved by the College Association'sBoard of Trusteeson June 27. This isthe tenth time thatthe . college-entrance exam hasbeen revised in its,76-year history,with the last modi-fication in 1994.The new test willfirst- be adminis-tered in March of2005.

This action isone with extensiveconsequences formillions of highschool students,teachers, andadminis t ra to rs .Its effects reverber-ate on the entirecollege applicationprocess as about1.3 million highschool seniors takethe nation-wideexam each year.The recent changescame in response to two major forces:advice from educators and guidance pro-fessionals, and the University ofCalifornia system's accusation last yearthat the SAT I does little to promotelearning in school. As a result, the direc-tors of the SAT have attempted to devel-

Sample questions: similar to thosethat will appear on the new SAT can befound at www.collegeboard.com.

The following is "an example of agrammar-usage-multiple question thatcould be in the new writing section:

In each of the following questions,select the best version of the under-lined part of the sentence.

op an exam that focuses less on measur-ing aptitudes and more on measuringcur-riculum-based elements from the class-room.

According to the College Board, theSAT is becoming more subject-based byincorporating curricular items -thatrequire reasoning. Three major changes

cover more years ofhigh school. It .willnow include conceptsfrom geometry,Algebra I and AlgebraII, while discontinuingquantitative compar-isons. Next, the SATVerbal Reasoning willbe substituted with theCritical ReadingExam. It will replaceanalogies with shortand long reading pas-sages from a variety oftexts. Lastly, a newtest, called the SATWriting Exam, will beadded. It will includeboth a • student-pro-duced essay and multi-ple-choice grammarquestions.

Jamie Weisinger, aBaldwin student whowill take the SAT thisOctober, thinks thatstudents will be well-prepared for the new

writing section because, "in school wefocus more on essay-writing than analo-gies." However, she adds it is likely that"more students will need SAT prepcourses for the harder math."

The new writing section is similar tothe Writing SAT II, which many selective

colleges already require. This may be atwo-fold advantage because income hasbeen proven to appear as a less notableadvantage in the SAT Ms. In addition,some feel that the essay is an improve-ment because it will make the test moredifficult to study for. Arnold Goldstein,Assistant Superintendent of Instructionfor Bellmore-Merrick, suggests that theaddition of higher level math is also pos-itive because it will motivate more stu-dents to continue with Math A and MathB, and to take the classes seriously.

The changes to the SAT have manyimplications. Besides adding 30 minutesto the current three-hour test, the newSAT is expected to raise the registrationfee from $26 to between $34 and $38.There will be a two to three year delaybefore the release of the newly-revisedexam in order to provide time for theextensive field tests that still need to beconducted. The College Board must

ensure that the scores of new students arein alignment with those of previous test-takers. The new SAT must also pass testsfor academic soundness, as well as gen-der and cultural biases.

.The new SAT content may force manyhigh schools across the country to altertheir curricula, but not Wantagh, whoseAssistant Superintendent of Instruction,Lydia Begley, says that there will be noneed to "change the curriculum becauseof the SAT." Other local school districtsreflect the same attitude, insisting thatthey are continually updating their cur-riculum in accordance with state assess-ments, so further alterations will not benecessary. While none advocate radicalchanges, some admit that slight'adjust-ments may become necessary andextracurricular preparation is being con-sidered.

Advocates say the revision is more

peripheral than radical and that it is sim-ply a technically superior evaluation:"The new SAT I will only improve thetest's current strengths by placing thehighest possible emphasis on the mostimportant college success skills," saysCollege Board President GastonCaperton. Stephanie Boldur, AssistantPrincipal of Baldwin Senior HighSchool, agrees, commenting that theexam will "facilitate the college applica-tion process" and that it "came about outof necessity." A Seaford administratorexpressed her approval of the new test aswell, indicating that the change is timely.

Yet even proponents of the revisedSAT cannot claim that a new exam willeradicate the racial test score gap sincearguments can be made that both content

and aptitude testing are discriminatory.Studies reveal that African-American andLatino students produce lower scoresthan their white counterparts, even thosefrom comparable income groups, andmany believe that the new test will'onlyexacerbate these differences due to thepredicted increased reliance on test prepclasses. Consequently, test preparationcompanies such as Kaplan and Princeton "Review will benefit from the probableincrease in business profits. And sincethose who could manage to pay for suchcourses would have an obvious advan-tage, even more people are skeptical. Theincreased registration cost also hurtsfinancially-disadvantaged students whomay not be able to afford to retake thetest multiple times to try to achieve betterscores.

essay, which some claim is shallow andwill only serve to promote superficialsamples, thereby trivializing the impor-tance of skilled writing. Robert Davis,Levittown's Assistant Superintendent ofInstruction, cautions that "the SAT-isonly one measure and is somewhat over-rated." Many continue to argue that notest, whether three or three and a halfhours long, can assess four years oflearning with any degree of precision andrecommend that the SAT be dismantledaltogether.

Will the changes impel schools to con-centrate on higher quality education asCollege Board President Capertonhopes? Local educators are confidentthat students in their schools will performwell. Dr. Begley of Wantagh insists that"we will see the fruits of our labor in apowerful way" as Wantagh students will

be enabled to "showcase different areasof expertise and talent" through therevised exam. Mr. Goldstein is convincedthat the test "will better reflect what isbeing taught." Yet both acknowledgethat they only know what they read innewspapers and are still in the process ofevaluating the changes, since no officialinformation has been released to theschools as of yet.

Will the new emphasis on specific sub-jects and classroom learning make thetest better equipped to measure reasoningand critical thinking rather than just aca-demic skills, as was originally intended?Does the new criteria make it a betterpredictor of college readiness?Regardless of speculation, the true testwill come in 2005 when it will be evidenthow the new SAT measures up.

Exercisers also missfewer days of work. Students who playsports have a more positive body imageand experience higher states of psycho-logical well-being than students who do

A musical treasure in our midst: Kolsteinby Chris Sippel

Just off Grand Avenue and MerrickRoad is an unremarkable storefront witha red awning that we have all driven pastmany times. Despite its location near oneof.Baldwin's busiest intersections, mostof us would have a hard time recalling thename of the shop with the red awning andwould be even more confounded if askedto explain what goes on there. Many ofthe world's most accomplished musicianswould not be at such a loss. They wouldeasily identify Kolstein Music, Inc. andtell us that behind its deceptively incon-spicuous facade, proprietor BarrieKolstein and his staff restore, repair andhandcraft some of the finest stringedinstruments in the world.

Genuine modesty would likely causeBarrie Kolstein to shy away from suchgrand praise. However, master musiciansthe world over will tell you that Barrie isas skilled, as he is unpretentious and thatthe Kolstein name is synonymous withimpeccable craftsmanship and artistry.Because of this reputation for excellence,many of them entrust their prized instru-ments to Barrie's care, sometimes withthe hope that he and his staff can performmiracles.

Tropical Storm Allison, which blewthrough Texas in June 2001, left much ofthe state under water, including JonesHall, home of the Houston Symphony.Nearly destroyed in the deluge was a vin-tage Busan violin made in the 1730s.Restoration of the Busan would be diffi-cult and would require a two-stageprocess. As you might have guessed, the

restoration .would also-require the skilledhands of Barrie Kolstein, who was calledin by the owner in the hopes that he couldrestore the rare violin to its original bril-liance.

Truth be told, Barrie had a bit of anadvantage over the rest of his peers inbecoming a renowned luthier, or one whomakes stringed musical instruments. Heapprenticed under the watchful eye ofone of the best-known contemporaryluthiers and bow makers in the world, hisfather Samuel Kolstein, who establishedSamuel Kolstein Music in the early1940s. Barrie speaks of his dad, who hassince died, with a combination of rever-ence and adoration that any parent couldonly hope to hear from their child.

Samuel Kolstein was a brilliant manwhose intellect and resourcefulness werenoticed by the legendary New YorkPhilharmonic pedagogue FrederickZimmerman when Samuel studied pianoand bass on a scholarship from Julliard.Barrie tells the story of how, after break-ing his bow and not finding anyone thatwas willing to repair it, his father drewupon his engineering background andrepaired the bow himself. FrederickZimmerman was so impressed by thequality of young Samuel Kolstein's workthat he asked him to see what he could dowith a vintage Bazin bass, which was indesperate need of restoration.

Six months later, an excited Samuelreturned the now-restored bass toZimmerman. Frederick Zimmerman wasso taken back by what his student haddone with the Bazin restoration that helooked up and said, "Sam, it's not my

class bow maker soon became known inevery corner of the music world.

home in Merrick, where it remained untilBarrie took over in 1981. Barrie thenmoved the business to Baldwin and itspresent location at 795 Foxhurst Road,the site of the old Bosco Deli. From theoutside, you'd never guess that behindthe little red awning is a spacious show-room lined with violins, violas, cellos,bases, and bows, behind which is 10,000square feet of workshops where Barrieand his staff of 13 men and women plytheir artistry; and artistry it truly is.

The work done at Kolstein's Music isoften described as functional art and inorder to do it well, one must be both arti-san and musician - though this poses noproblem for Barrie. Like his father beforehim, Barrie studied music under the late

Frederick Zimmerman (among other leg-endary music professors) and his talent asa bassist is rivaled only by his ability torestore and craft the fine instruments thatpass through his gifted hands. "It's a veryimportant thing to be able to play becauseif you are going to make and restoreinstruments, it is very essential that youplay them. There are many very goodmakers and craftsman that can make orrestore an instrument but not be able toevaluate it," Barrie explained. "The idealscenario is to do great functional workand great tonal work."

The functional artistry performed atKolstein Music has been world class formany years. However, Barrie is not sim-ply the fortunate bearer of his father's

omnipresent flame - indeed not. Whileother luthiers probably have hands just assteady and eyesight just as keen asBarrie's, his veneration for the originalmasters and his endearing, gentle natureare the cornerstones for a niche in whichhe is the master, replicating vintageinstruments to near perfection.

For the last 15 years, Barrie has spe-cialized in this art and he beams withdeserved pride when he talks about thisaspect of his work. Professional musi-cians that do not want to expose theirbeloved, vintage instruments to the rigorsof touring commission Barrie to makeexact duplicates .of these prized instru-ments. Perhaps the greatest compliment

ever paid to Barrie for his expertise inthis area came from one of his mentorsand perhaps one of the greatest appraisersand certifiers of vintage instruments thathas ever lived, Dario D'Attili.

Barrie had just completed a commisTsion on a duplicate of a Montagnana cellomade in the 1730s and he was eager tosee what D'Attili thought of his work.Without telling him what it was, Barriebegan unpacking the duplicate inD'Attili's study and wasn't quite donewhen D'Attili, resisting the urge to smile,said in a somewhat serious tone, "That'sa nice Montagnana." He then went on totell Barrie that his name would be as big

tor, is the principal. The fifth gradeteacher is Brother Richard Lalime. Theschool will also have a social worker onhand. Anthony Piscitiello, a Lasallian vol-unteer, will assist in the day-to-day oper-ations of the school. Lasallian volunteersare young men or women who committhemselves, to a year or more of service tothe community after they have graduatedfrom college.

In addition to the strong emphasis onreading, writing and arithmetic, theschool plans to have monthly excursionsto compliment the curriculum as well as amusic and art program. The school willoffer religious instruction and studentswill attend the Roman Catholic mass. Allclasses are conducted in English and stu-dents must be fluent in English. Studentswill wear uniforms - gray slacks, lightblue polo shirts and a navy cardigan in thewinter.

The school will serve a predominantlyat-risk population that does not discrimi-nate by race or creed. Among the admis-sions criteria would be eligibility for freeor reduced lunch, a traditional indicator offinancial poverty. The applicant will testat a reading level no more than two gradesbelow his current grade, possess anappropriate record of comportment in hisexisting school and have a family struc-ture that commits itself to regular on-going intervention/The boy himself mustdemonstrate a desire to enroll in the DeLa Salle School. "Both the parents andthe boy must be interviewed beforeacceptance," said Brother Thomas."Parents must attend classes. There has tobe a partnership with the parents to edu-cate their sons," said Brother Thomas."We expect the boy to have an average IQand be.a good kid, someone who is notdeeply troubled. Boys are not angels. Weknow that they can get a little antsy. Butwe have high expectations for these boys.We are looking down the road. If they areacademically qualified, perhaps they cango on to Trinity High School and beyondthat to St. Johns University or MolloyCollege."

"Tuition is $6600 a year but since theschool is for the economically disadvan-tage, families will pay $60 a month [$600a year]. Individuals, corporations andfoundations will donate the remainder ofthe tuition. "We are depending on thecommunity to help us out," said BrotherThomas. "We are looking for .volunteersand donations." The school recentlyreceived age-appropriate books, worthabout $200, from a middle school librari-an. Another woman, a retired teacher, hasoffered to come to the De La Salle Schooltwice a week to help out. If you wouldlike to volunteer or make a donation youcan contact Brother Thomas Casey at 87Pine Street Freeport 11520 or call 379-

answered then some of these boys willfulfill their potential. "These kids are at aturning point. They can make choices thatcan pull them towards greater life or theycan turn away from life. We don't want tosee more boys six feet under or behindbars."

Freeport addresses the challenge of state standards ta<TQ

community come to fruition. After a cel-ebration last year, a new sign officiallyidentifies the rededication of John W.Dodd as.a true Middle School.

But other more subtle changes are inprogress as well. The district has begunsome figurative building of bridges thatwill link curriculum from pre-kinder-garten and kindergarten, to each of theelementary schools, to Atkinson, andstraight through to Dodd to the HighSchool. Beginning this year, each school

will develop an instruction improvementplan based in large part on its state andlocal assessment results.

As the Middle School concept devel-ops, concrete work is underway tostrengthen the articulation of curriculumbetween Atkinson and Dodd. This willfacilitate the evolution of a four-yearplan that builds on the results of the 4thGrade Assessments to better prepareevery student for the demanding 8thGrade Assessments.

Magnet themes provide focusThe Magnet School Program has pro-

vided the resources for each elementaryschool to focus on individual themedevelopment, while weaving togetherthe common threads of unity, diversity,community, respect and responsibilitythat run through all the schools. At thesame time, the Magnet Schools continueto support the integration of technologyand the continuing development of


by Sue Morgan,Freeport Schools

As the Freeport School District lookstoward September and the start of abrand new school year, it remainsfocused on its goal of preparing all stu-dents to excel as scholars, citizens andfuture leaders of the community.

The new state standardized tests pro-vide an opportunity to assess Freeport'sperformance with other schoolsthroughout the state. But these tests willserve a more useful purpose by provid-ing a means to better target and meet theindividual educational needs of everystudent. "There are lots of answers wecan get a good handle on if we carefullyanalyze our data and translate that intowhat needs to take place in the class-room," says Dr. Eric Eversley,Superintendent of Schools. "We need tobe certain that our curriculum, instruc-tion, materials, classroom testing andprofessional development are veryclosely aligned with New York StateStandards and Assessments."Positive changes

Many changes are underway to pro-vide students with a seamless educationand the best learning environments,from pre-kindergarten right throughhigh school.

The external signs of change are obvi-ous. Construction continues at the newRaynor Street site of New VisionsSchool of Exploration and Discoveryand the addition to the high school.

"We recognize that andconstantly reassure parents that if theirchild care is providing a safe, nurturingand educational experience, they can goto work with peace of mind."

"Hi-Hello was established in Freeportin 1968 and has a proven record of offer-ing programs to meet the needs of thecommunity. As we go into our 35thanniversary year in 2003, we are proud ofthe quality of child care that is providedevery day at Hi-Hello. Perhaps the besttestimonial to this is the words of the par-ents themselves. Just recently, we

strong academic programs, and targetedinstruction to elevate test scores as theyprepare Freeport students not only tomeet New York State Standards, butalso to become productive, responsibleadults. One of our goals in to be evenmore effective in individualizing ourdelivery of instruction.

With the foundation provided by theSecondary School grant that wassecured through the Magnet SchoolsOffice, Atkinson and Dodd will contin-ue to draw upon the expertise of profes-sionals from St. John's University toenhance both curriculum developmentand professional development, andimprove instruction. Atkinson andDodd, particularly, have combinedforces to forge connections that willgive students a unifiedintermediate/middle school academicexperience.Community involvement

One of the cornerstones of educationin the Freeport district continues to bethe involvement of families and thecommunity. School-wide programs andspecial community outreach activitiesstrengthen unity and help students

develop responsibility, tolerance,and community pride.

Parents have become essentialpartners in education in theFreeport Schools. Site-based teamshave spearheaded many of theimportant changes that are takingplace in the district today. Theyhave also been involved in writingmission statements for each schoolthat will provide a focal point forproductive change. Strengtheningthese teams is an important part ofthe school improvement agenda.Accepting the challenge

Freeport schools face manychallenges as they grow andchange to meet the new demandsof the New York State Board ofRegents. But they stand poised tomeet that challenge by using theresults of the state's new assess-ment tests as one more tool forbuilding schools that raise the barfor all children in this exceptional-ly diverse and historic community.Young people who are products ofthe Freeport Schools and communityhave a unique experience that preparesthem for the world as it will be andshould be.

,e and schools partner to fight gangs

"Gangs are a concern in our country,"says Freeport Police Chief MichaelWoodward, a memb'er of a new anti-gang task force in Freeport. The com-mittee, made of representatives from theschool system, the police and the villagegovernment, seeks to be the first area inthe county with a pro-active approach topreventing gang activity.

The committee is comprised ofSchools Superintendent Dr. EricEversley, school board members JoeCattano and Ronald Ellerbe, ChiefWoodward and Village Trustee DonaldMauersberger. The group meets month-ly, and has been inviting communityleaders (such as the PTA, religious lead-ers and civic associations) to its meet-ings. "By involving people who haveinfluence, you now have a forum to dis-seminate information," remarked ChiefWoodward.

Police Chief Woodward has testifiedbefore the county legislature about theneed to make gangs a more public issue,noting gang activity takes place all overthe county, in Bellmore, Baldwin, IslandPark, Long Beach, Oceanside as well asFreeport. Since the county declined tomake an issue out of it, he has focusedhis efforts more locally, includingspeaking to students at Freeport HighSchool.

Chief Woodward found that highschool students' perception of gangactivity was unreasonably overestimat-ed. However, he relates this to his timegrowing up after the release of "TheGodfather" when "25% of people saidthey were mafia members." Althoughmany gang members tend to be more ofthe "wannabe type," and less organized,he mentioned that the Freeport PoliceDepartment is tracking 250 suspectedgang members that reside in Freeport.

School board member Ronald Ellerbedescribes the committee as being in anearly stage. It neither has formal goalsnor a formal name. He says the group isbringing together national data on gangsand raising the profile of gangs intelli-gently in order to be productive.

Although the committee was formedat the behest of the school district, vil-lage trustee Don Mauersberger said thatboth the district and the village had a"mutual concern." About the group, Mr.Mauersberger said, "We would like tocome up with a plan of letting parents beaware of what their children might beinvolved with." He added that the vil-lage had a lot to bring to the committee,such as the police department, the recre-ation center and a network of connec-tions. "We have to bring all the profes-sionals we can to bear on this," said thetrustee.

Earlier this year, Mayor WilliamGlacken and Superintendent Eversleysent a letter to Freeport residentsinforming that the village and theschools were working on the issue ofgangs. Among other things, the letterexhorted parents to supervise their chil-

dren carefully and report any gang activ-ity immediately to the police depart-ment.

Chief Woodward offered some indica-tors of gang activity which parentsshould be aware of:» children suddenly becoming verysecretive and avoiding family involve-

ment• tattoos, which a child may go to greatlengths to cover up, such as wearinglong sleeves in the summer• if a child is brutalized, but not talkingabout it• doodles on a child's notebook mayindicate gang symbols

• sudden misogynistic behavior• wearing the same color clothing all ofthe time

He added that children have no realexpectation of privacy from their par-ents or adults, and that a suspicious par-ent may want to go through their child'sthings to look for drugs or weapons.

According to a, statement fromCatholic Charities that appeared in theAugust 15 issue of The Leader, theWorklink Community Center ofFreeport will provide a trailer with cleanfacilities as a meeting place whereworkers can also take part in education-al programs that include ESL, computertraining and workshops on labor andimmigration law. The center would beopen from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m., Mondaythrough Saturday.

A Catholic Charities employee wouldserve as full-time coordinator at the cen-ter, working with a community advisoryboard.

While several who spoke against theplan did support the principle of theworkers doing "an honest day's workfor an honest day's pay," they stronglyobjected to using community develop-ment grant funds to support the facility.,

Alan Jay, who criticized the policiesof the Immigration and NaturalizationService and other federal agencies,expressed concern that the workerswould not be covered by workman'scompensation and employers would notbe paying payroll taxes. Opponents ofthe program loudly applauded him.

The mayor commented that the.responsibility to ensure the workers hadlegal immigrant status belonged to theINS, not the village, and that the variousgovernment agencies concerned withtaxation "should go after the contrac-tors."

Gabriel Razzamo complained bitterlythat Mayor Glacken would not returnhis phone calls over a period of severalmonths in his attempts to discuss theissue with them.

"I feel we've been railroaded," hesaid. Mr. Razzamo also questioned why

an employment office near the Dunkin'Donuts location was not used to handlethe workers.

"Nobody's being railroaded here," themayor replied, and cited the board'sactions on the issue in public meetings afew months ago.

Peter Norris, a local businessman,continued pressing the is"sue of paymentof taxes. He charged that the village was"aiding and abetting an illegal operationif these people are not paying taxes."Mr. Norris also said the village would beviolating the concept of separation ofchurch and state under the Constitutionby providing public funds to CatholicCharities for the program.

Georgia Prunty also voiced concernthat the village was supporting "illegalactivity and tax evasion," and that theadditional children of the day workerswould have, an impact on the publicschools and "drive down test scores."

She chided Catholic Charities for theproject, citing a verse from Romans 13of the New Testament on "obeying thelaw of the land and paying taxes."

Liza Levin, a retired teacher, com-mended the mayor's efforts to beautifyFreeport's waterfront, but said the"image of the illegal immigrant" alsohas been added to the village's appear-ance. She complained of catcalls shehad received while walking to the LIRRstation and expressed fears that otherillegal immigrants may come to the vil-lage. "Who knows what group will benext," she said.

At that point,Deputy Mayor RenaireFrierson-Davis quickly rose from herchair and stormed out the door at therear of the dais. She returned severalminutes later.

Kenneth Bagatelle complained that


Historic schooner still in townThe Pioneer, a 100-foot sailing schooner,

Day laborers work site stirs up controversy in Freeportfrom page 30

many of the day laborers were not vil-lage residents. "We're not even takingcare of our own people," he said. "We'remaking it very convenient for these peo-ple to come." He charged that the work-ers were taking away jobs from resi-dents looking for work or who need sec-ond jobs, and also criticized the CatholicCharities plan to offer free computertraining and foreign language instruc-tion, calling it a "gimmick."

Mayor Glacken, incredulous, askedMr. Bagatelle if he really thought theorganization was engaged in gimmickry,to which he replied, "yes," which quick-ly drew loud applause from the projectcritics.

But another resident, DouglasMayers, a native of Barbados who haslived in Freeport more than 30 years,chastised the program's opponents. "Ican't believe the immigrant-bashing,"he said. "Many immigrants come hereand do what (native-born) Americansdon't want to do." He added, "I'm proudto be an immigrant. You've got my sup-port."

Another retired teacher, HeatherCottin, related the history of immigra-tion laws since the late 19th century andtheir discriminatory effect on variousgroups, which she called a policy with"aspects of racism."

"When I hear the term 'illegal alien' itmakes my skin crawl," Ms. Cottin said."This is a most un-American approach.That's not what this country is about."

She also cited the resurgence of thevillage business district brought aboutby Latino people who have establishedbusinesses in previously abandonedstorefronts. "The Latino people saveddowntown Freeport."- •- - -

Al Dorfman also criticized the oppo-nents of the village's decision to supportthe program. "-It's the same mentalityI've seen before at Ku K\ux Klan meet-ings," he said. "They hate Jews, theyhate African Americans. They hateeveryone."

His comments drew jeers and boosfrom other audience members who saidit was not an issue of racism, but of theVillage's use of public funds and thepossibility that no tax revenue would bepaid by the workers and contractors.

Michael Raab, also clashing at timeswith the mayor, complained thatFreeport will attract more such workersfrom a wide area and the village wouldbecome "a day worker hub."

But Village Attorney Harrison J.Edwards said that "was not the case."He cited similar programs under way or

being planned in Farmingdale,Riverhead, Westbury and other commu-nities.

Mr. Edwards said there have been nomajor complaints in Freeport withregard to the presence of the workersand that the administration's concern insupporting the site has to do with "pub-lic safety and traffic problems that needto be addressed."

Mr. Raab also expressed concernwhether the workers will cooperate andparticipate in the program. MayorGlacken expressed confidence theywould, noting that Catholic Charities"has a very long history of working withimmigrant populations" and in dealingliteracy and health care issues. "Theyhave a proven track record," he said. "Ihave no doubt of the success of the pro-ject."

He continued, "We're not Polyannas.We know what we're doing. We'regoing to engage in normal trafficenforcement." He also said Freeport willbenefit from the experience of othercommunities with similar programs."This is going to work," he said.

He said the village has been trying tofind a practical solution to the problemof 100 to 200 people looking for work.every day. "We have a traffic problem.We have a safety problem. We can't curethose (illegal immigration) problems,but we have to try to provide a safeplace" for the workers.

Mr. Raab replied, "I hope your planworks, but if it doesn't, we're back towhere we started from."

Following similar comments fromother residents, trustees adjourned toexecutive session.
