Opening day for Baldwin T-ball

by Laura Schofer

“It’s going to be a banner season,”declared Freeport Mayor RobertKennedy, at a press conference held lastweek outside of Hudson and McCoyRestaurant along the Nautical Mile.Despite setbacks from insurance compa-nies and banks releasing money to busi-ness owners, “most of the businesses[along the Nautical Mile] are back,”explained Mayor Kennedy and “will beopen by June 1 in time for Freeport’sNautical Festival.”

Mayor Kennedy said the summer sea-son was chock full of events, includingmusical interludes along Woodcleft Avenue,thanks to the Long Island Arts Council. SeabreezePark would hold its Friday night movies in thepark for families. The Navy is scheduled to returnwith its sailing boats in August and there will alsobe a fire parade on August 10. Additionally, thecement blocks at Waterfront Park are gone, pro-viding access to residents.

“This beautiful area was devastated,” saidButch Yamali, owner of Hudson and McCoyreferring to the destruction wrought by superstormSandy along the Nautical Mile. “Every store andrestaurant had four to five feet of water. There hasbeen construction everywhere and we are allworking furiously to get back to business. Butnow, we are stronger than ever,” he said. Both fishmarkets – Two Cousins and Captain Ben’s – areopen for business as well.

Ray Maguire, executive director of the FreeportFire Department, added that Freeporters were“very resilient. This [Sandy’s destruction] can’tkeep us down.” He thanked members of theFreeport Fire Department. “There were 80 volun-teer firemen whose own homes were destroyedbut they were out there helping others,” he said.

“We have challenges but we’ve worked togeth-er,” added Mr. Maguire. “Local governments havestepped up to relieve owners of the sometimeslong and complicated process of getting buildingpermits to rebuild. People understand that if thereis no help than nothing will be here.”

But it was Jerry Bracco Senior, an owner ofBracco’s, just across from Hudson and McCoywho summed up everyone’s feelings aboutFreeport’s Nautical Mile. “It’s the hottest street onLong Island,” he declared.

Freeport residents who lost appliancesin superstorm Sandy have until June 15to file a claim through the Energy StarReplacement Rebate Program. Villagetrustees approved the deadline extensionat Monday’s board meeting.

Responding to a question by TrusteeJorge Martinez, Electric DepartmentSuperintendent Anthony Fiore explainedthat residents who are customers are eli-gible for the rebate and their appliancemust meet energy star requirements.There is a limit of one claim per family.

Trustees also voted to advertise forproposals for the Freeport Plaza proper-ty along Sunrise Highway betweenGrove and Church streets. Resident AlanJay asked if the proposals call for demo-lition of the property. Mayor RobertKennedy replied that there are “severaloptions,” but the proposal does not spec-ify demolition.

“It’s a beautiful piece of architecture,but it has restricted progress in thatarea,” said Mr. Jay, who favored demol-ishing the building to attract new invest-ment in developing the property.

Village Clerk Pam Boening read thenotification from the state comptrollerapproving the Electric Utility’s applica-tion for exclusion of indebtedness forthe fiscal year ending on February 28.The total amount is $64,207,011.

Police kudosMayor Kennedy praised Freeport

Police Department Chief MiguelBermudez and several officers who

arrested three armed robbers earlier inthe month following a robbery onRoosevelt Avenue near Ray Street.

Chief Bermudez said the suspectsrobbed a man about 7:20 p.m. April 5,then fled in a car but collided withanother vehicle. Two of the suspects fledand hid nearby but were soon arrested.Freeport detectives arrested the thirdsuspect three days later.

Other actionsTrustees approved the transfer of

funds between various accounts,including a correction of $40,559 tothe 2012-13 operating budget, whichbrought a complaint from residentFrank Grossman, who charged that thevillage was disguising a deficit as atransfer. Village Comptroller StevenLieberman explained that the previousbudget could still be amended beforethe May 1 audit. Mr. Grossman alsoraised the issue during public com-ment.

The board awarded the annual curband sidewalk contract to F. AcostaLandscaping of Freeport for $125,120,and approved the contracts for liquidcaustic soda for $119,115 to H. Krevit &Co. of New Haven, Connecticut, and thefinal completion cost of $297,301 forrehabilitation of Well No. 7.

Trustees also approved:• Scheduling the Nautical Festival for

Saturday, June 1, 10 a.m.-8 p.m., withnumerous street closures and parkingrestrictions.

• The parade permit for the MemorialDay Parade by the American Legion on

May 27.• The hanging of banners for the 41st

annual Shark Tournament from May 15to June 15, and for the Nautical Festivalto be held June 1.

• A filming/photography permit fromBlue Orbit Productions Inc./The XFactor for April 24, 7-8 a.m. onWoodcleft Avenue.

• Changes to credit card policy toinclude the names of five current villageofficials, including the mayor, and thedeletion of three names from the previ-ous administration.

During public comment, a residentof Nassau Avenue near Suffolk Streetcomplained about a deep rut thatremained after street work by

National Grid. Mayor Kennedy saidhe had already notified the gas com-pany about completing repairs to thepavement.

Another resident complained aboutthe number of unlicensed taxicabs thathe has witnessed near his business.

Chief Bermudez said he is conductingan investigation into the problem.

At the close of the meeting, MayorKennedy announced a meeting withofficials of the Long Island Rail Road,county Legislator David Denenbergand officials of various agencies aboutimprovements needed at the FreeportLIRR station.

What is the difference betweena coach and a teacher?

A coach knows each player for hisstrengths and positions him accordingly. Thatbig kid with the strong kick in defense, thespeedy little kid in front, the one with thegreat reflexes in the goal. A New York Statepublic school teacher is expected to prepareall his students in the same material.

A coach’s passion for a sport ignites a sparkin the kids he is mentoring. A New YorkState public school teacher does not havetime to deviate from the planned curriculum.

A coach teaches skills that will build oneach other to make a standout junior varsityplayer a varsity star, while always remember-ing that his team is only as good as its leastadept player. A New York State public schoolteacher is expected to prepare his students totake a test, not truly learn the subject.

A coach’s mantra is “It is not whether youwin or lose, it’s how you play the game.” ANew York State public teacher’s livelihoodrides on how well his students do on the test.

A coach inspires a lifelong habit of physicalexercise that is not a task but a joy. A NewYork State public school teacher is supposedto teach children to take tests, not ignite inthem a love of learning for learning’s sake.

A coach teaching his kids teamwork iscrucial to success. A New York State publicschool teacher has a room full of studentseach intent on the same task.

Freeport school board OKs budgetby Mark Treske

The Freeport School Districtapproved a 2013-2014 budget of$156,362,834 at its action meeting onApril 17 at Archer Street School. Theexpenditures will be increased$5,350,580 or 3.54% over last year.

The tax levy increase is 3.09%, underthe district’s allowable tax cap of 3.10%.

Executive Director for BusinessJames Robinson said the increase couldamount to $11.75 per month for a homeassessed at $285,000.

Mr. Robinson briefly reviewed theprocess that got the district to this spot:The first draft included a deficit of $4.8million, largely the result of salary increas-es and mandated contributions to the statepension fund.

Frank Grossman asked for clarificationof the term “mandate” and whether thecontribution was over- or undercalculated.Mr. Robinson explained that the districtdoes not compute the contributions orinvest pension fund money; they are sim-ply told by the state how much moneythey must contribute.

In order to cut the deficit, “phase 1”reductions were made, including staffingcuts (20 positions, including 11 teachers),athletics, textbooks and community school.

Before “Phase 2” reductions, includ-ing all-day kindergarten, were instituted,a slight improvement in the state aid pic-ture enabled the district to fit under thecap – at the cost of an increase in grade3-6 class size and loss of an additional

nine positions, including four enrich-ment positions. All day kindergarten wassaved, however – for now.

Members of the board commented onthe budget and expressed anger at thesacrifices required in the era of the taxcap. Trustee Anthony Miller lamentedthe difficulty of talking to friends in thedistrict whose jobs may be in danger;Vilma Lancaster added, “Some people inthe community may blame us” for thecuts, and urged those present to placeblame with the state Legislature, whichcreated the cap and the mandates. BoardPresident Debra Mulé, noting that futurebudgets will have the same difficulties,told the assembly that the advocacy onbehalf of the schools must continue.

In other business• The district approved a yes vote on

the 2013-14 Nassau BOCES administra-tive operation budget of $19,686,115, andcast votes in favor of the three candidatesfor three seats on the BOCES board: RonEllerbe of Freeport, BA Schoen ofBaldwin and Frank Langsner of Wantagh.

The meeting also included an EarthDay presentation by Archer’s dual lan-guage program, A PowerPoint presenta-tion on the district’s school libraries andrecognition of Florence Hunt, an Archerreading teacher (accompanied byWinston, her canine helper), as theschool’s “unsung hero.”

The next school board meeting will bethe yearly budget hearing, at Atkinsonon Wednesday, May 8.

warm-up stretches, bounding cart-wheels, forward rolls, tripod headstandrolls, front handsprings and vaulting.The gymnasts also had their chance todemonstrate some of their favoritefreestyle moves for the cheering crowd.

Gym teacher Charles Gilreath hasbeen coaching the students through theirgymnastics drills since September. Mr.Gilreath coordinated the event with artteacher Laurie Kolodny.

FRONT HANDSPRING was just one of the many skills demonstrated by stu-dents at Bayview Avenue School in Freeport under the watchful eye of gymteacher Charles Gilreath.

Earth Day cleanup atthe Roosevelt Preserveby Robert Young

A group of a dozen volunteers spentthe Saturday morning of Earth Dayweekend removing tires and debris fromthe Roosevelt Preserve. Located alongthe Meadowbrook Parkway, the Town ofHempstead Democratic Committee’s(ToHDC) Environmental Caucus wasjoined by Leslie Pieters, a localRoosevelt community environmentalactivist.

According to Bob Young, thedeputy leader of the ToHDC,the Preserves had not beencleaned in at least twoyears. Young, aMerrick resident andenvironmentalist ,was part of the origi-nal effort to preservethe area theE n v i r o n m e n t a lCaucus cleaned onSaturday.

Caucus memberspulled over 50 tires, andfilled at least a dozen garbagebags with empty bottles, discardedclothing, Styrofoam containers, andeven a dead animal or two, from thePreserve.

“In particular,” according to Mr.Young, “we had the opportunity to meetsome of the residents who live adjacentto and frequent the Preserves and helpthem beautify this valued resource; welook forward to working with them inthe future.”

“I was pleased with the amount ofdebris we collected,” said Michael Turi,leader of the ToHDC EnvironmentalCaucus. “In particular, I am happy wewere able to fish out some of the floata-bles that were located in a Preservestream; those products leach chemicalsinto our waterways and eventually endup in the Atlantic Ocean and fish localanimals rely upon for food. We alsowant to recognize store manager LindaPrisciandaro of the Freeport Home

Depot on Sunrise Highway,which graciously donated

work gloves and largebags for garbage col-

lection,” said Mr.Turi.

In additionto Mrs. Pieters,the Caucus wasjoined byLegislator David

Denenberg, whohelped collect

debris and inspect thehealth of the Preserve.

Mr. Denenberg noted thatthe moving water in the Preserve

was cleaner than he recalled in yearspast.

The ToHDC Environmental Caucusalso organized a successful cleanup atHempstead State Lake Park on Sundaymorning. It is estimated that 40 volun-teers, which included students fromHewlett and Lawrence High Schools,removed approximately one ton ofgarbage and debris.

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD DEMOCRATS with some of the garbage they collect-ed at the Roosevelt Preserve.

baldwinlibraryQuilts

A custom quilt exhibit by JanetMcLaughlin will be on view at thelibrary during the month of May

Janet won three ribbons for the quiltsshe entered into a juried quilt show. Shehas also won ribbons in past shows andexhibitions.

Janet began sewing in her teens whenher mother taught her how to make herown clothes. She continued makinggarments for several years and thenstarted making bedspreads, curtains andpillows when she became a homeowner. In 1983 she was introduced tothe world of quilting and joined a localquilting group where she learned how tohand piece and hand sew.

She then joined a larger organizationin Suffolk County where speakers fromall over the country were brought in toteach and to lecture. When she movedto Nassau County she joined the LongIsland Quilters’ Society which at onetime boasted 650 members. Throughthese guilds, Janet has learned a tremen-dous amount and has advanced in herskills through the years.

PorcelainA porcelain doll display with hand-

made clothes by Josephine Bianco willbe shown at the library for the monthsof April and May.

Josephine Bianco (“Jo” to neighborsand friends), a longtime resident ofBaldwin, will take us back to the fash-

ions of yesteryears, with her display of aporcelain doll, during April and May.

Fawne is 26” tall. When you look ather, you see a beautiful face, but youdon’t realize that her arms, partiallymade of fabric, are two different sizes,and must always be covered.

Her shape is most irregular, and pres-ents problems for any clothing designedfor her. But, these problems will disap-pear in a multi-gown display. There willbe one gown that could be termed “con-temporary” and another that could easi-ly come from our own antebellum OldSouth.

And then, we go back to the Victorian erawhich will feature quite a few examples offashions of the day. Simple day dresses,wrappers and morning gowns, were wornat home. When women “of means” wentout, they wore promenade gowns. A styleof promenade gown was called the PrincessPolanaise, the beginning of what we nowcall the “princess style.”

And, don’t forget suits, worn bywomen to go out walking with husbandsor beaus – a simple Chanel-style jacketwith half sleeves and a floor-length A-line skirt.

Of course, the neckline would betrimmed with fur, and the lower halfsleeve, referred to as “Engageantes” wasmade of lace. There is a lot of interest-ing information about fashions in yes-teryears, and Jo is hoping to give you alittle bit of an idea, as worn by a porce-lain doll.
