FREEPORT POLICE teach ETS students about safety.

encyday

Friday, September 8, was a his-toric day for youth of Long Island, asscores of youth successfully partici-pated in Long Island's firstEmergency Preparedness Youth Daysponsored by Eager To Serve, Inc.(ETS) in Freeport.

ETS' executive director, 'LevadaFelder, called the event a tremen-dous success, "Our children per-suade their parents to go toMcDonald's time and time again.Surely, they can be taught to be avoice during the time of disaster.They can influence their parents notto drive through floodwaters or toturn off the electricity before evacu-ating their home due to a disaster."

Emergency planner Dyan E.Greggs coordinated the event, whichwas designed to honor the memoryof the children who lost their livesduring Hurricane Katrina. Ms.Greggs, a native of Freeport, spent

three months in Biloxi, Mississippi,as Shelter Operations Manager forseven of the American Red Cross'Emergency Shelters and laterbecame Feeding OperationsManager. "When we teach the chil-dren how to respond in emergencysituations they can truly be a greathelp to the parents and to their com-munities. Our children are worth theinvestment," Ms. Greggs said.

From the smallest tot to theteenager wanting to sound the policecar's siren, youth sat on the edges oftheir seats as they gleaned informa-tion from Officer Steven Rampanelliof the Freeport Police Department,Erin Perillo of the Long IslandRegional Poison and" Drug Infor-mation Center and the American RedCross in Mineola. In addition, thechildren were extremely excited toget a close up look into the AmericanRed Cross Emergency Response

Throughout the day, age-appropriate disaster preparedness,fire prevention, crime preventionand poison control classes were pro-vided oh a rotating basis, door prizeswere given and hands of curiouschildren were continuously raised toget their questions answered.

Each child received READYCertificates from ETS, as a specialsymbol that our children can." andwill be ready, too. .

Winnie's Wishesi

"I wish the Bellmore Fair would go on forever," saidWinnie the Ppoh. "I loved the way all the childrenjumped up and down for joy to see me, and all the par-ents wanted to take their pictures with me. Old peopleand young people all wanted to give me high fives."

Visitors to the Bellmore Life booth last weekend werealso waxing sentimental. "I grew up in Bellmore and Ilove" to come back," said one North Shore resident. :

"I live five minutes away and I never knew about allthese fabulous stores: I'm coming back!" said a SouthShore resident.

One new chamber of commerce board member saideveryone works hard all year to prepare for the fair, andno one minds it because they all have so much fun."Everyone is so nice!" she added.

Readers stopped by to tell the editors of their home-town newspaper about story ideas, or just to sign upagain because they missed it. (Our sister newspapersMerrick Life, The Leader and The Citizen were also atthe fair.) Welcome back!

Happy New Year!

This weekend the Jewish high holy days of the NewYear begin and families gather for prayer and love. Wewish all our Jewish neighbors the best. Shalom!

This is also the week of Family Dinner Night,Monday, September 25, when the National Center onAddiction and Substance Abuse and the CommunityParent Center encourage families to make it a point totake time out of their busy schedules to have dinnertogether. Studies have shown children who communi-cate regularly with their parents are less likely to getinvolved in self-destructive behavior.

Even if Monday night is, say, soccer night, familiesare urged to choose one night to start a new family tra-dition of breaking bread together.

Perhaps the idea of inviting those of other faiths'todine with us on a regular basis would also help build acommunity of brotherhood.

LUXURIES AND NECESSITIES..."Americans hate to pay for necessitiesbut they love to tfuy luxuries," com-mented an economist who was inter-viewed recently on one of cable TV'smorning talk shows.

I thought of his statement when I wasdriving by several large stores aroundthe county that had been vacant andwere now converted to sell onlyHalloween items. I wondered if theywould morph into Christmas stores onNovember 1.

It's hard to imagine an entire storedevoted to selling only Halloween mer-chandise. I often wonder what workersin developing countries think as theywork in factories churning out the"tchochkes" (dare I say junk) that end upin our various 99 cent and discountstores.

It's interesting how our minds andemotions are manipulated when itcomes to what we purchase, what wethink we need, and how much we arewilling to pay for a wide variety of

items. We complain about the high costof gasoline but don't hesitate to payridiculous amounts for designer coffeesand even water.

Advertisers suggest that it is accept-able to assume huge debts for unessen-tial items and promote a "you deserve it"philosophy. How can we reconcile thebelief that we "deserve" such luxuries atthe same time that we are conditioned tocomplain about the high cost of necessi-ties such as medication and health insur-ance.

I remember years ago waiting to getgasoline and chatting with my five yearold daughter. She was trying to convinceme to purchase one or another item thatshe had seen on television. When I toldher that it was too expensive and that wecouldn't afford it (a tired mother'sattempt to end a conversation quickly),she looked straight at me and said, "Justcharge it."

I then had to listen to the gas stationattendant who had overheard our con-versation and who promptly began a

Theater-goers as well as baseballbuffs will be happy to attend this year'sBaldwin High School musical. At theSeptember 13 Board of Education meet-ing, board member Mary Clarkannounced that "Damn Yankees" hasbeen selected as this fall's major pro-duction, i

"Damn Yankees" should appeal tosports enthusiasts who love the NewYork Yankees as well as those who hatethem. The story is based on the Douglas

Wallop novel, "The Year the YankeesLost the Pennant" which was made intothe 1955 Broadway musical and the1958 film starring Gwen Verdon as Lolaand Ray Walston as the devil Applegate.

The show tells the tale of a disgrun-tled Washington Senators baseball fanwho says that he would sell his soul forone long ball hitter for the Senators. Heis then transformed into that hitter whenhe becomes the young slugger, JoeHardy. A convenient escape clause in hispact with Applegate allows a happy.end-

rant about "what's wrong with kidstoday."

At a women's luncheon I attended nottoo -long ago, one of the ladies com-mented that she was home whenRealtors were showing her house topotential buyers. One young couple tooka fast look at her lovely three-bedroom,1 1/2 bath home and immediatelylabeled it "too small."

She explained to me that she and herhusband had raised three children in thathome and never felt that it was "toosmall." Today, McMansions aboundrequiring all sorts of expenditures just tofill them with furniture.

Those of us who grow up not lackingany necessities, especially today'syoungsters, cannot truly undertstandwhat it is to be deprived. At the orienta-tion for new teachers, I was pleased tohear Baldwin Board of EducationPresident Mary Jo O'Hagan commenton the speeches that were given by stu-dents at graduation last June.

All three speakers highlighted andremembered with pride the communityservice activities which were undertakenby. the Class of 2006 during their fouryears at the high school. At the middleschool and elementary schools, age-appropriate community service activi-ties also take place.

Schools today have assumed so manyof the responsibilities which were oncethe perogatives of either families or reli-gious institutions. Under the banner ofcharacter education, teachers, club advi-sors, and counselors, amid their manyother tasks, help young people keepthings in perspective.

Perhaps the greatest lessons young-sters can learn is that they have a respon-

sibility to others, that endless accumula-tions of things do not make you happy,and that- necessities for everyone shouldprecede luxuries for only a few.

In a presentation before Congress inJuly, Federal Reserve Chairman BenBernanke outlined the strength of both thenational and global economies. Whenasked by one of the senators how his com-ments jibed with the obvious increasingburden suffered by so many people justtrying to make ends meet, he said, "Oh,you are talking about inequity."

We should applaud school districtswho are trying to educate youngsters sothat they will be able to secure jobswhich will allow them to pay, not onlyfor necessities, but also for some luxu-ries. We should support teachers whoact as role models and are willing tosupervise those time-consuming proj-ects which help students experiencefirst hand the joy and satisfaction ofhelping the less fortunate.

And ^finally, we should encouragethose kinds of courses and activitieswhich encourage students to understandthe difference between luxuries andnecessities and which explain the prac-tical minutia of budgeting, planning,and setting priorities.

During the next several months, wewill all be challenged to resist spendingrecklessly on luxuries while we ignoreour responsibility to pay first for ourown basic necessities as well as those ofothers. It is said that Americans describeshopping as their number one leisuretime activity. It would be sad if that wasthe legacy we passed down to our chil-dren after an education that should haveopened up so many more interesting andworthwhile interests.

Baldwin school year beginsing-

Ms. Clark noted that she had been toldthere was "standing room only" for thefirst meeting of students interested inperforming and she spoke with enthusi-asm about the production, which will bethe first show in over a decade notdirected by teacher Kevin Harrington,whose accomplishments were highlypraised this summer at board meetingsby parents and students lobbying forchanges that would encourage his returnto the extra-curricular project.

+ + +Assistant Superintendent Michael

Roccoforte presented an overview of the2006-07 Professional Development Planwhich has as its unifying theme "a con-tinuous improvement in teaching andlearning."

Since the hiring of SuperintendentRobert Britto last year, instructionalenhancements have focused on threeprime goals - clear and high expecta-tions, academic rigor in a thinking cur-riculum and fair and credible evalua-tions. This past^year, a "cohort" of 50administrators and teachers met eighttimes as a committee with facilitatorDiane Cunningham to outline how thesegoals can be actualized in professionaltraining and development so that resultsare seen in classroom instruction andstudent "output."

When asked by board President MaryJo O'Hagan "How will we measure the

obituaries

effectiveness of the professional train-ing?" Dr. Britto noted that members ofthe cohort will be making "strategic vis-its" to classrooms to "speak to studentsand to look for evidence in studentwork." During September and Octoberthe observers will establish baseline dataand then later visits will look forimprovement and change.

Noting that this anecdotal evidence isnot necessarily an absolute direct link tothe results of standardized test scores,Dr. Britto did stress that the process doesrepresent "a shift in perspective. It's notjust a semantics game," he said.

When asked by Ms. Clark if it wouldbe reasonable to expect "quantitativedata," he said, "State testing is quantifi-able." He stressed that the anecdotal evi-dence of change and improvements"complements and balances state testingand provides more nuances." He noted.that the ongoing process of training andobservation will allow the many venuesof professional training to be tailored tospecific needs.

A wide list of training opportunitiesincludes such activities as the use of 18after-school contractual hours for pro-fessional development, staff develop-ment days, district level meetings, facul-ty meetings, conferences, inservicecourses, academic cabinet meetings, andworkshops during school time for whichthe district provides substitute teachers.

There has been and will continue to bean emphasis on literacy training and

mathematical thinking. In-district aca-demic intervention specialists as well asoutside consultants are engaged in themulti-pronged approach to improvelearning while improving teaching.

> + +Phase II of the ongoing bond project

is almost completed, according toMichael Sheehan, the district's directorof facilities, operations and safety. Henoted that in contrast to the stress andproblems one sees on T.V. cable homeimprovement shows which undertakeeight week projects costing $30,000, thedistrict has been engaged in a wide vari-ety of projects during the past eightweeks costing $6-$7million.

"Unlike television, when we discover aproblem - asbestos or mold - we have tohave meetings of safety committees andstop work." Mr. Sheehan then describednuermous projects, including boilerreplacements, field work, floors, ceilings,energy performance work, and tenniscourts which have required detailed coor-dination and specialized crews.

The board reaffirmed a list of priori-ties for 2006-7 similar to those enactedlast year. They include a commitmenttoward the three goals enumerated byDr. Britto involving teaching/learningimprovements, ongoing oversight andcompliance regarding new state regula-tions involving fiscal functions, includ-ing accounting and auditing; the hiring

of a demographer to provide informa-tion on projected enrollments and build-ing and space needs, and continued cur-riculum review.

The board also approved the charges tobe studied by the Baldwin EducationalAssembly in three committees - Budget,Character Education and School andCommunity Relations. In addition to theusual budget review, that committee isbeing asked to provide a mid-year reporton community concerns relative to thebudget and to analyze voting patterns.

The Character Education Commiteewill look into alternatives to the PRIDEsurvey and develop a survey to be sent tograduates after three years to determinetheir evaluation of their preparation.

During audience questions, a ShubertSchool parent whose family is new tothe district expressed concerns aboutbullying her child has experienced anddescribed the response she has receivedas inadequate. "I kept my child homebecause I feared for his safety and I wastold that CPS [Child ProtectiveServices] could be called in."

Since individual student situationscannot be discussed in public, Ms.O'Hagan promised that the parent,would be.contacted. The parent is askingthat her child be transferred to anotherschool, a process whose deliberationcould be lengthy and include bothadministrati-ve and board input.

Trump Development at Jones Beach?There's a new kid in town.His name is Donald J. Trump and he

is planning on developing an ocean-front restaurant and catering facility atJones Beach. The new facility will cost$30 million and be called Trump on theOcean. Plans for the new facility wereannounced at a press conference onThursday, September 14, in the CentralMall of Jones Beach State Park.

The new restaurant will offer indoorseasonal dining as well as outdoorbeachfront dining and provide facilitiesfor special, large-scale events.According to the governor's office, thebuilding will comply with the state'sGreen Building Initiative for energy,efficiency and the building's designand materials will be compatible withits historic surroundings. The total proj-ect site is approximately five acreswithin the footprint of the restaurantcomprising 33,600 square feet.

New York Governor George Pataki,New York Parks CommissionerBernadette Castro and other state aswell as local officials were on hand tolend their support to the new project.

But not everyone thinks the newproject is right for the South Shore andespecially not for the Wantagh SchoolDistrict, which will be out of $1.4 mil-lion a year in additional property taxrevenue from a for-profit business onstate land.

"The practice of allowing for-profitentities to operate in public state parkswithout paying any property taxes mustcome to an end" stated AssessorHarvey Levinson, chairman of theNassau County board of assessors."The private catering facility does notserve a public purpose arid theGovernor and state Parks

Commissioner should not be selling thestate's tax-exempt status at the expenseof homeowners who struggle to paysome of the highest school propertytaxes in the country."

"Plans for the new Trump on theOcean restaurant and catering facilitywill certainly add to the legendary vis-itor experience at the renowned JonesBeach State park," countered'GovernorPataki.

"This latest public-private partner-ship builds on the unprecedentedinvestment and improvements theState has made at parks here on LongIsland and across New York for theenjoyment of residents and visitorsalike. This new facility will providepark patrons with an array of uniquedining opportunities in a spectacularocean front setting."

The proposed project will entail theconstruction of a building on the site ofthe former Boardwalk Restaurant,reconfiguration of existing park areasand the construction of a new parkingarea on the western end of the Pitchand. Putt golf course which will beupgraded and renovated as part of theproject.

The construction will be locatedbetween the main boardwalk and theOcean Parkway in an area that isalready developed.

The Boardwalk Restaurant was theprevious facility that was constructedin 1968. It replaced the original struc-ture that was built in 1936 and later wasdestroyed by fire. Following decades ofexposure to the marine environment,the Boardwalk Restaurant was demol-ished in 2004. At that time, State Parksissued a Requests for Proposals to

"select a private sector business that

could develop a new restaurant. StevenCarl, who also operates Carlyle on theGreen at Bethpage State Park, was theselected bidder to redevelop the restau-'rant site. Mr. Carl and Mr. Trump haveformed a business partnership for therestaurant project.

The previous facility did not pay anytax revenue to the Wantagh SchoolDistrict.

Still, Assessor Levinson believes leg-islators should pass legislation torequire the state to compensate theWantagh School District for propertytax revenue not paid at Trump on theOcean.

While Assessor Levinson has yet tosee a copy of the state's lease agree-ment with Donald Trump and StevenCarl, he has directed his senior counselto determine whether the lease fallswithin the guidelines under one of theexceptions to the general exemption forstate property.

"Regardless of the outcome of ourreview of exemption law, state law-makers should make it clear that prop-erty tax exemptions should only begranted on state land when the projector .facility is for a valid public pur:

pose," stated Assessor Levinson.But local legislators support the proj-

ect. Senator Charles Fuschillo, in apress release from the governor'soffice, stated that "Jones Beach is oneof the crown jewels of the state parkssystem and this new waterfront facilitywill make it even more attractive desti-nation for the hundreds of thousands ofNew Yorkers who visit the beach eachyear. This public sector-private sectorpartnership should greatly benefit localresidents."

Assemblyman David McDonough

added that "This partnership betweenDonald Trump and New York State atthe site of the world's largest publicbathing beach will add to the uniqueprestige of Jones Beach."

Pending final approval by theoffices of the attorney general andstate comptroller, the contract's termsinclude a 40-year lease, with StateParks receiving annual lease paymentsand a percentage of the gross receiptsas well as a designated portion ofreceipts required to maintain the facil-ity.Additionally, while the lessees will beresponsible for all of the design, devel-opment and operational costs, StateParks has approval of the final designand will own the new facility. The newrestaurant is expected to open in 2008.

In April, Governor Pataki announceda gift to the state from Mr. DonaldTrump of 436 acres in Putnam andWestchester Counties for a new statepark.

"Donald Trump has never been shyabout placing his name on his manyreal estate holdings," stated AssessorLevinson. "Hopefully the state law-makers will make every effort to makesure that the Trump name is placed on acheck made out to the Wantagh publicschool district for his fair share of prop-erty taxes."

In closing, Governor Pataki said that"Donald Trump continues to distin-guish himself as a visionary entrepre-neur committed to excellence and thisnew environmentally-friendly diningfacility will provide park patrons withan array of unique dining opportuni-ties in a spectacular oceanfront set-ting."

Religious relic comes to Long IslandA relic revered by pilgrims around

the world—the undecayed heart of asaint who died 147 years ago inFrance—is coming to Cure of ArsChurch here on Long Island for fivedays of veneration and celebration byan expected multitude of RomanCatholics beginning October 7.

The heart of St. John Vianney, thepatron saint of parish priests, will leaveFrance for only the second time. Thefirst occasion was when it was taken toRome for the saint's canonization in1925.

The heart will be carried here byBishop Guy Bagnard, bishop of Belley,

Ars, France, who fulfilled the wish ofFather Charles Mangano, the pastor ofCure of Ars in Merrick, which was thefirst church in the United States to benamed after St. John Vianney's churchin Ars. The Long Island church is cele-brating its 80th anniversary.

"I truly believe that this is God'sdoing," Father Mangano said. "BishopBagnard told me he decided to comehere with the heart to increase voca-tions to the priesthood."

St. Jean-Marie Baptiste Vianney, theCure (curate) of Ars, was born nearLyons, France, in 1786, and died at Arsin 1859. When his body was exhumed

in 1904 because of his pending beatifi-cation, it was found intact. Later, hisheart - also incorrupt - was removed.The body and heart are encased in sep-arate glass reliquaries at the church inArs.

"I know that many Americans don'tunderstand the veneration of relics,"Father Mangano said. "This is a prac-tice that is common in Europe, nothere. I would tell those unfamiliar withthis practice to look beyond the relic tosee how Saint John Vianney used all ofhimself to the glory of God."

The celebration is being supportedby The Catholic Heart, an independent

organization of concerned RomanCatholics. The mission of The CatholicHeart is to create a renewed spirit andrespect for priests throughout theworld. The organization grew from asmall group of parishioners organizedto plan for the arrival of the heart ofSaint John Vianney.

For much more downloadable infor-mation and photos about Saint JohnVianney, the celebration, incorrupt-ibles, relics, the miracles attributed tothe saint, short bios of the principals,and a schedule of events, go to:www.TheCatholicHeart.org
