Tax free 'til MondayLong Islanders were urged to take

advantage of the upcoming clothingsales tax free week on clothing andfootwear purchases less than $110per item by Governor George E.Pataki. The sales tax free weekruns now through Monday,September 1.

Governor Pataki proposedfour clothing sales tax freeweeks in his ExecutiveBudget this year, and theLegislature incorporated twosuch weeks as part of its budget.There will also be a second salestax free week from Monday, January26 through Sunday, February 1, 2004.

The exemption waives the state's 4.25percent sales tax on clothing andfootwear, and also allows counties andcities across the state to exempt their

local portion of the sales tax.Arthur J. Roth, Commissioner of the

Department of Taxation and Financeindicated his department has

mailed informational packetsabout the clothing sales tax

free week to approximately590jOOO businesses regis-tered to collect sales tax.

Retailers who mayhave questions or con-cerns should contact the

Tax Department's BusinessInformation Center at (800)

972-1233. Also, retailers mayimmediately: obtain information

through the Tax Department's web siteat www.tax.state.ny.us and through theFax-on Demand System at (800) 748-3676.

On Thursday, September 25, Hi-Hello Child Care Centerwill celebrate 35 years of providing quality child care to thechildren and families of Long Island with a Tribute andDinner Gala to be held at Westbury Manor in Westbury.

Seven categories of honorees will be recognized for theirsupport, commitment and dedication: Vicky Mannis,Founder's Tribute; state Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr.,Legislative Support; Sharon G. Grosser, Executive Director,Roslyn Savings Foundation, Foundation Recognition;Michelle E. DiBenedetto, Vice President, Government andCommunity Affairs, Citibank, N.A., CorporateRecognition; Barbara and Arnim Jagnow, Otto's Sea Grill inFreeport, Community Partner; Gerti Colbert, Board Service;and Janet Fine, Staff Appreciation.

Proceeds from the event are to benefit the Hi-Hello ChildCare Center Scholarship Fund and enhance programs andservices for the infant through school age children thatattend Hi-Hello.

Throughout the years, a scholarship fund has been avail-able to make quality child care affordable for all families.While a majority of the children attending Hi-Hello receivechild care subsidies from the Nassau County Department ofSocial Services, there are those families whose incomes dis-qualify them. "Oftentimes, the margin between eligible orineligible can be measured in single dollars...or can be cre-ated because a parent receives a $10 a week raise," explainsJoann Bousquet, Executive Director. "The bottom line isthat these borderline families cannot afford the full cost ofchild care; especially, when you realize that full-time childcare annual tuition can be three times as expensive as ayear's tuition at a state university! With the scholarshipfund, we can truly make a difference" for working parentswho are struggling to provide the best for their children andbalancing a work schedule.

Raising money for the scholarship fund andenhanced programs and services is an ongoing and continu-ous activity. It is here that valued relationships have beenforged with many segments of the community. "It is so grat-ifying for those of us who have been in child care to see thatothers are recognizing the connection between child care,successful students and a stable and productive work force,"states Ms. Bousquet. "We are thrilled to be honoring thisesteemed group of individuals. With them as models, Iknow that the future of Hi-Hello will be as bright as theaccomplishments of the past 35 years have been."

Sponsorship packages from $1,000 and journal ads from$100 are available. For reservations and information, call516/379-1825 or email fkarliner@hihellochildcare.org.

Hispanic American Clubcontinues volunteering

by Joan DelaneyThe Hispanic-American Women's

Club of Long Island (HAWC) has a longhistory of volunteer service in ihe com-munity. Founded by Judi th Ortiz wellover a decade ago, the funds they raiseare used for worthy humanitarian caus-es. Their most visible work, however, isthe assistance they provide to children.

The bilingual members of the non-profit1 organization serve as volunteersto the Gift of Life, Inc. which is a char-itable organization associated with localRotary Clubs that brings in childrenfrom various parts of the world for heartsurgery.

Many of these children come fromLatin American countries and they andtheir family members cannot speakEnglish. The HAWC volunteers serve as:

translators and also provide much-need-ed companionship and support:

In addition to translating, the volun-teers transport, visit, and at times evenhouse the children and their guardians.HAWC members serve on a completelyvolunteer basis, saying that their pay-

ment is "the smiles, hugs and kisses byhappy and healthy children after sur-gery." In the past the surgeries tookplace at St. Francis Hospital, althoughtoday many of the operations take placeat Montefiorc Hospital in the Bronx.

It costs $5,000 to bring a child to theUnited States'for the heart-related sur-gery, a sum which pays for hospitalexpenditures since the participating sur-geons and medical personnel donatetheir lime.

HAWC will be holding its annual din-ner/dance with, a journal on Saturday,October 4, from 8 p.m. to midnight atthe Knights of Columbus Hall inFarmingdale. A donation of $45 per per-son will be used for the Gift of Life pro-gram. In advertising'the dinner, HAWCliterature stales, "These are everybody'schildren...we will only have to blameourselves if llieir hearts stop beatingbecause we slopped caring."

, Those interesled in attending or sup-porting the group may call 379-0619 forfurther information.

Gang problem concerns discussed by school boardby Jim Golding

School trustees at their August 20monthly meeting approved the hiring ofseveral new faculty members and otherpersonnel changes and discussed thegang problem in the village.

Board President Dr. Joseph Caltanoreported on a recent meeting of theworking group comprised of school dis-trict and village officials, and other com-muni ty leaders. He said that the panelhas "become quite active in developingstrategies" to address the problem andhas admitted "there is a significant gangproblem" in Freeport.

The board president added, however,that the problem here is not as serious asother communities he has contactedaround the nation, among them York andWilkcs-Barre, Pennsylvania, which have"major problems with gangs."

Dr. Caltano said he would make a for-mal report at a future board meetingafter meeting again with the workinggroup and district Superintendent Dr.Eric Eversley.

One action Dr. Catlano said he favorsin dealing with the problem is to imposea curfew. "Many communities in theU.S. have curfews in place," he said."Once in place they are universally sup-ported."

He noted that one benefit of a curfewwould be to "give police legal justifica-tion to move kids off the streets."

Trustee Michael Raab discussedaddressing the gang problem at thekindergarten and first grade levels tocounter the influence of older siblingsand other young people that may try to

recruit them as future gang members."We have "to fight gangs within ourschools," Mr. Raab said.

Dr. Cattano said he would meet withDr. Eversley about the need for a pre-vention program in grades K-l.

Trustees also briefly discussed theneed for increased security at the highschool and junior high school to denyaccess to unauthorized persons.

Assistant Superintendent for BusinessKishore Kuncham gave a brief adminis-tration report in the absence of Dr.Eversley, who he noted had just becomea grandfather of a 7-pound, 2-ounce boyand was with his daughter and family.

For several days last week, the districtphone system experienced problems thatMr. Kuncham attributed to a'software-problem at Verizon. Callers wouldencounter a severe crackling sound thatmade it very difficult to hear the personat the other end of the line.

He said Verizon reported it correctedthe problem but, late last week, the prob-lem persisted in phone calls to theadministration building.

Mr. Kuncham also announced that anew districlwide science coordinator hasbeen appointed, Dr. NicholasTzimopoulos, who holds a Master's anddoctorate degree from Boston College.

Other reports were made by trusteesRon Ellerbe and Raab.

Mr. Ellerbe discussed recent meetingsof CFE (Campaign for Fiscal Equity)and the educational finance reformorganization R.E.F.I.T. Mr. Raab gavean update for activities relating to thefirst day of school.

Jay discussed the importance of givingstudents a positive view of business""Profits are not obscene, losses areobscene," he said. "Profits build schoolsand hospitals."

Decrying the negative views on busi-ness that students may receive from"leftist professors" at some colleges anduniversities, Mr. Jay called on the dis-trict to "teach American ideals toFreeport students now, so when they getto these goofy professors they'll have

the foundation to challenge them."In regular business, trustees approved

28 new teaching staff members, alongwith several resignations, and the retire-ment of a teaching assistant. They alsoapproved the school calendar forSeptember, with a community barbecueset at the high school on Wednesday.2-7 p.m. First day of classes will beSeptember 4.

Love many, trust few,always paddle your own canoe

It is not comforting to hear people from other countriestell how a blackout of epic proportions such as the one theNortheast suffered through on August 14 and 15 couldnot happen there because of the independence of eachsystem.

With so many dollars and even some precious lives lostin just 24 hours, Americans want the system changed sono more major blackouts can occur.

As Mayor Bill Glacken of Freeport pointed out, thereare advantages to having your own power plants, even ifyou do have to share their output. Even those who hadtheir own solar power at home had to share though.

The new hydrocell technology would help decentralizepower production. Perhaps our cars will even run on itsomeday. Research dollars spent on this technology arecertainly well spent. The Sierra Club and major unionsare calling for more federal funds to be invested in alter-native energy programs such as this one.

Local businesses are looking at buying backup genera-tors. For hospitals, this has long been established proce-dure.

Nationalization of strategic services such as electricpower, telecommunications and postal service has itsadvantages and disadvantages. But no one can deny thata reliable service is in the national interest.

The idea of having to sue Midwestern utilities for loss-es resulting from the disaster is not appealing, since onegets the feeling the cost will only be passed from insurersback to customers. However, if it serves as an incentivefor investment in infrastructure to prevent future prob-lems, perhaps it will be a benefit. After all, increasingenergy production only helps if reliable lines are in place.

A legendary Native American proverb goes, "Lovemany, trust few, always paddle your own canoe." Weneed both to work together and to protect ourselves.

Richard Kessel and LIPA deserve our thanks for workingso hard to get the power back on so quickly. GovernorGeorge Pataki's quick action in appealing to the federalgovernment for emergency use of Cross-Sound Cablefrom Connecticut, also helped save the day. NowCongresswoman Carolyn McCarthy is calling for it to be apermanent fix. As she said, it's not a "cure-all, but it's afirst, easiest step to a more energy-secure Long Island."

WINNERS of the Mighty Fluke Tournament, probably the last, but by no means least, ofFreeport's fishing contests this year, were, from left, adult winner Michael Fenton (representedby father "Pop" Fenton) and first place junior winner Matt Herman, flanked by tournament spon-sor Tom Jefferies. This contest is geared mainly to the younger generation, giving their parentsan opportunity to witness their ability to catch the "big ones."

LIKE WINE GRAPES.... If we everwauled an exeuse lor our lack of initia-tive in joining community organizations,this year's weather provided it.

We had a winter of excessive snow; aspring of steady rain, and a summer ofheal and humidity that would will any-one. We can only hope lhal we are ableto enjoy an autumn lhat is crisp and cooland provides us with ihc motivation toget involved.

As usual, the school calendar includesa list of len organizations lhat have some

. links lo the school district. They allowresidents to participate in a variety ofprojects and activities which could havea tremendous impact on Ihe community.

One lhal is important lo highlight isthe Human Relations Advisory Council.

We have been fortunate in our areathat we have not experienced wrenchingcrises caused by racial or elhnic animos-ity. That is not to say lhal iherc is nolroom in Baldwin for improvement con-cerning human relations issues.

In some ways, Baldwin has beenlucky because the demographic changesin Ihe community have been gradual. Wehave enjoyed the luxury of lime in meet-ing our new neighbors of various elhnicbackgrounds. Occasionally an event oul-side of our community occurs, such asthe tragedy of September 11, and we are

all joined logether at community prayerservices or memorial ceremonies, andwe arc able lo clearly recognize that weare united in common goals and aspira-tions.

This past week, we went with friendsto a vineyard on the North Fork of LongIsland and look a tour of a winery. Thewoman who conducled the tour spoke ofboth white and red grapes. In explainingthe process of making wine, she notedthat it is the inclusion of Ihc skins whichcauses the differences in the color of thewine. If grapes were simply pressed forjuice without adding the skins, all thewine would be the same color.

Pointing lo her skin, she said, "It's justlike people, some of us have whiter skin;some of us have dark skin, but under-neath we are all the same. So are thegrapes. It's the addition of Ihe skins tothe juice in the pressing thai gives redwine ils color."

For over two decades, the school dis-trict's Human Relations AdvisoryCouncil has functioned primarily as aschool committee. For the most part, ilsagenda and reports reflect human rela-tions activilies and curriculum in meschools and address issues such as race,ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic strata,aging and sexism.

Although certain community groups

send representatives, there is a generallack of community involvement inexpanding the horizons of this council'swork much beyond the purview ofschool issues.

But that doesn't mean that those verysame issues should not be addressed bythe community at large.

Generally, Baldwin residents havewelcomed newcomers of every race andethnic background, but that welcomehas been individual and low key.Despite accolades in the real estate sec-tion of the New York Times praisingBaldwin's diversity, we experiencemostly a passive acceptance of diversityrather than a real commitment lo posi-tively maximizing the benefils of thaidiversily.

In our elementary schools, childrenhave various functions such as interna-tional lunches and plays which seek outopportunities to identify, acknowledgeand emphasize Ihose qualities whichcreate a wonderfully diverse mosaic ofcultures. Children understand thatappreciating other cullures does nolmake us less American: It is, rather, thealmost unique ability to absorb so manycultures thai makes our country special.

We should ask ourselves if our recent-ly arrived neighbors of different back-grounds are being properly welcomed

and made to feel part of the community?Are we truly an integrated communityor, as one resident suggested to me. arewe more like a bi-racial community ortri-racial community where differentgroups go their own way, seldom inter-acting.

Participation by more residents in theschool district's Human RelationsAdvisory Council would go a long waytoward infusing an affirmation of diver-sity into the community at large.

Whether it be the Human RelationsAdvisory Council, another of the ninecommunity organizations listed in theschool district calendar, or the scores ofother groups lhat exisl in Baldwin, weshould make every effort, as autumnapproaches, to seek out greater partici-pation. And let us make sure that ouroutreach is direcled loward all of Ihepeople who will play a part in makingBaldwin the community it wi l l become.

We can sit back and let change hap-pen without our positive direction, or wecan become involved and help lo weaveour differences into a brighter and morevibrant unified pallern.

FreeportNassau County District Attorney Denis

Dillon announced the arrest of a 56 year-old Freeport man who was allegedlyseeking to prey on young boys via theInternet.

John McDonald, of PennsylvaniaAvenue, Freeport, is the 20th individualarrested as a result of Mr. Dillon's"Operation Teensaver" project, which tar-gets on-line predators.

According to Mr. Dillon, "On five dif-ferent occasions beginning April 30 ofthis year, the defendant - who used asone of his screen names "Older4Under2l." - engaged in sexually explicit on-lineconversations with an OperationTeensaver investigator whom he believedto be a 14 year-old boy. Ultimately, hesought to arrange a physical meeting withthe 'boy,' and when he arrived for thatmeeting earlier today he was arrested.

"This is the second arrest we havemade this month of an on-line predator,"Mr. Dillon said, "and the I4lh since webegan Operation Teensaver in Februaryof 2001. In addition, six individuals havebeen arrested in other jurisdictions afterwe referred those eases to the appropriatelaw enforcement authorities.

"I cannot stress enough the terribledangers that young people place them-selves in when they engage in intimateconversations with strangers on-line,"Mr. Dillon said. I urge all young peopleand parents who think they might haveencountered an on-line predator to imme-diately contact law enforcement authori-ties." Mr. Dillon also invited parents andeducators to contact his office at 571-2994 to obtain a free copy . of hisbrochure, "Keeping Your Child Safe onthe •Internet."

Aid offsets college costsby Barry Fox cial need.

What is the largest expense a familywith three children will ever undertake?Not their home. It may only cost$400,000. But at $160,000 per child forfour years at a private university or$56,000 for four years at a SUNYschool, college for three kids can runmore than a house. It can be the largestitem the family will ever have tofinance.

Today, what were two categories ofhigher education - public and private-has evolved into three categories: (1)elite private, (2) public and (3) other pri-vate. From a financial standpoint, whatdistinguishes these categories in generalis that many people have decided thatthe elite colleges are worth it, no matterwhat the price; public colleges equalquality at a relative bargain, and otherprivates are acceptable only at discountprices.

The elite privates are experiencing aflood of freshman applications and, insome instances, unanticipated freshmanover-enrollment. As the competition foradmission gets stronger, the financialleverage of the applicant is reduced.

This can create a special financialdilemma where the student is gifted, ora high achiever, who has done his or herpart by becoming eligible for admissionat top schools and now the parents feelobligated to "live up" to their end of thedeal, which can mean taking on a heavydebt load.

Happily, a prepared family can skirtthis crisis by taking full advantage of the$62 billion in student aid money avail-able to help defray the high cost of col-lege. And the key word here is prepared:the federal government estimates thatthis year almost $14 billion in aid willnot even be distributed because eitherno one asked for it or because financial'aid forms were incorrectly filled out.

The process of getting a chunk of thefinancial aid pie for your family is not ,an easy one. The forms used rival IRScreations for complexity and unabashedcuriosity about every facet of family,life. Why are these forms so important?.Because colleges and the government-refuse to provide any kind of financialaid without them.

Financial aid comes in several differ-ent forms. By far the best is a non-repayable grant. Below this come sever-al forms of government loans that can berepaid over long periods at low interest..Grants are based on family financial !

need as determined by the FederalMethodology and the InstitutionalMethodology. You don't need to knowthese systems, but you should realizethat the financial aid forms are designedto weigh your family's fortunes againstboth of them.

All federal programs require that you •submit a form called the FAFSA (FreeApplication for Federal Student Aid).New York State requires its own addi-tional form for state aid, called TAP.

In addition, many colleges nowrequire a new form called the ProfileForm as well as their own financial aidforms.

Finally, colleges can ask for aBusiness Supplement or Divorced andSeparated Financial Form for parentswho are business owners or divorced.

Properly handling the hundreds ofquestions on these forms can mean thedifference between the family carryingthe burden of college alone or receivingsubstantial aid. The key is understand-ing the formula that determines finan-

This can be accomplished by workingwith a family financial advisor or guid-ance counselor who is experienced inthis area. He should belong to one of theprofessional organizations that sponsorworkshops each year on the subject ofcollege finance.

Also, you can use some of the (ipshere to help fill out your own forms.Keep in mind several facts before youfill out the form:

• Be careful: Twenty-six percent ofthe forms submitted in 1998 had to beresubmitted because of mistakes inpreparation.

• Don't deny yourself: Even if youdon't think your family will qualify foraid, submit the form! A college mightaward even if the government doesn't,for reasons having little to do with directfinancial need. However, they willrequire the form.

• Do it right the first time: Once aform has been filed, it becomes difficult

Aid offsets college costsg? from page 8

to make major changes in the Financialinformation about your family. The firstform sets the tone, so make sure youprepare it as wisely as you can.

• Don't submit via the Internet: Therehave been too many cases of "lostforms". Security can also be a problem.Submit the paper copy and get proof ofmailing.

When you fill out the form, recognizethat it is not a tax return. The conceptsbehind the way it calculates what yourfamily needs to live on, how much yourequire to protect assets, and your busi-ness' net worth are not the same as thoseused by the IRS.

In fact, what can be desirable for taxplanning can turn out to be disastrous forfinancial aid planning. So, you maywant to get a copy of the form a year ortwo before you will apply for aid so thatyou can make it as much a part of yourfinancial strategy as Uncle Sam's laxrules.

Dean Michael Halloran of theUniversity of Southern California hasstated that "a lot of tax advisors are notknowledgeable about the financial aidprocess." For example, many parentsroutinely transfer large sums of moneyto their children's names in order toavoid or lessen the tax bite on these sav-ings.

However, students' assets are "taxed"at a rale of thirty-five cents on the dollarby college aid departments. This meansthat a student with $20,000 in savings inhis name would be expected to providethirty-live percent of it - $7,000 - forcollege expenses. This, of course, wouldwipe out the account in three years.

Parental assets, however, are taxed atjust five cents on the dollar for financial

aid purposes. Jacqueline Foster, formerDirector of Financial Aid at YaleUniversity, said "We take thirty-fivecents of the student dollar, but the same$20,000 in the parents' hands would cre-ate an obligation of only $1,000 peryear."

One clear strategy that is both legaland appropriate is to use up money in acustodial account for student-relatedexpenses where the alternative is to useparental assets - for example, ortho-dontist bills, college visits costs, acomputer. If done soon enough, thiscan result in a reduced expected familycontr ibution, which translates intomore aid.

Another tip would be to make anyintended large purchases, such as a car,before filing the FAFSA. This will helpbring parental assets down temporarily.

If you need someone to help aroundthe office, what about your college-bound children? The salaries theyreceive are a business expense that low-ers family income. The first $4,300 paidto each child won't affect his tax status.The business winds up pay ing part of thetuition rather than the family, whichderives no tax benefits at all from payingfor education.

The family home no longer is consid-ered an asset on the federal forms, butmany private colleges still consider itsvalue. The colleges ask only for nethome value (market value minus anyexisting mortgage). If you take out asecond mortgage before submitting theform, the net value of your home is rad-ically reduced.

Once the figuring is done, it is crucialthat the FAFSA be submitted as early aspossible. The FAFSA cannot be submit-ted before January 1 of the year pro-ceeding college attendance. Once that

day comes, colleges begin doling outaid. Many run out of aid long beforethey run out of FAFSAs.

A final caution: prepare for the needsanalysis as much as possible, but nevercheat. Any information on a FAFSA thatdoesn't jibe with the state and the feder-al tax forms is automatically rejected. Adiscrepancy of as little as $300 can kickthe forms out of the process. In addition,most colleges ask for signed copies ofincome tax returns. In fact, theDepartment of Education now has theauthority to access the Federal IRS com-puter.

In the increasingly complex and sys-tematic world of FAFSA, it takesthought and careful preparation to makesure you get your share.

Have you seen our town?by Kate Murray

Supervisor,Town ofHempstead

It is critical during this strugglingeconomy that government be a strongand supportive partner for business andtourism. That's why the Town ofHempstead is doing its fair share to pro-mote tourism in our own "backyard."

The Town of Hempstead is not only agreat place to live and work, but it isalso a terrific place to visit. Our Officeof Tourism is available to provide infor-mation and assistance to residents andthe many tourists who visit each year.

There are so many things to do andsee here in America's largest township.Freeport's Nautical Mile is a great placeto visit during the summer. From casinoand dinner cruises to dining and shop-ping, there is fun for the whole family.There are also numerous boat launchingramps and fueling stations, many finerestaurants and even water accessiblelodging for boaters.

One of the most popular offerings ofthe tourism office is the guide to muse-ums. The brochure details the manymuseums located within the township'sborders such as the Rock Hall Museumin Lawrence, a Georgian mansionwhich was once the home of the Hewlettand Martin families. Other popularmuseums, are the Long Island

Children's Museum and the Cradle ofAviation, which holds an IMAX the-atre. There is a museum to satisfy everyinterest. Tourism in Hempstead Town isimportant to our economy.

With our township providing accessto eastern Long Island locations, visi-tors sometimes pass through the Townof Hempstead without considering thegreat variety of attractions that our townhas available. We hope that on the waythrough, vacationers stop to relax at oneof our beaches or shop at RooseveltField in Garden City, the Source Mall inWestbury or the Green Acres ShoppingCenter in Valley Stream.

From Floral Park, Valley Stream andElmont on the west end to Freeport, andSeaford in the east, and all our commu-nities in between, the Town ofHempstead has a lot to offer. We havemany recreational and cultural opportu-nities in our town and the Office ofTourism is available to assist you.

by James ColdingWhen school begins next Tuesday for

Bellmore-Merrick Central High SchoolDistrict, the new academic year will alsofeature some new, visible improvements.

Along with some new principals, teach-ers and textbooks, there will be a newlook in some school facilities.

For Assistant Superintendent forBusiness Cynthia Regal, who joined thedistrict in June, and for 16-year veteranDirector of School Facilities andOperations John A. "Jack" Dziedzic,much of their summer has focused on$3.5 million in capital improvement pro-jects at the three high schools and twomiddle schools.

Much of the work involves routinekinds of things such as repainting walls,fixing ceilings, replacing carpeting andbroken or worn out fixtures, and otheritems.

One of the projects that brings a smileto Ms. Regal's face is the completeremodeling of the Calhoun High SchoolLibrary, a project which is still a fewweeks away from completion. Workershave been installing all-new shelving, acentral processing module and other fur-nishings over the past several weeks.

New aluminum seating has also beeninstalled at the Calhoun football field.

Other highlights of the district's effortsinclude new auditorium seating atMepham High School and Grand AvenueMiddle School, along with improvementsto the stages.

Other projects at Mephr'n include thereplacement of brick sidewalk leading tothe front entrance.

Some students will experience the joyof having a new locker, as part of the sec-ond floor has lockers that are twice aswide (though half as high) as the old orig-inal lockers.

"This will give them room to put inbackpacks or other items too wide for theold lockers," said Mr. Dziedzic during atour of the schools last week.

He added that the third floor of theschool will have new lockers by next yearand that, eventually, lockers in all schoolswill be replaced.

At Merrick Avenue Middle School, theshowcase improvement is the new all-weather track that consists of blacktopand a rubber surface that will be metered."This means that competitions can now beheld at the school," said Ms. Regal.

"Nobody uses coal anymore," said Mr.Dziedzic about the need to replace the oldcinder track.

At Kennedy High School, new renova-tions include the installation of aluminumbleachers at the football field and com-plete refurbishing of the boys lockerroom.

In addition, at Kennedy and Calhoun,new elevators are being installed to com-ply with Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) standards.

While some of the projects are still afew weeks from completion, Mr.Dzifedzic said that was allowed for andthat the bulk of the remaining work willbe completed by the beginning of theschool year.

"We have two months to do this stuffand it's real tough," he said, but added,"all the school districts are in the sameboat."

Much of his time is taken up with keep-ing track of progress at each work site,making sure that equipment and furnish-ings arrive when they should and seeingto a myriad of other details necessary tomake sure the schools are ready to operateon day one.

For the lifelong Merrick resident, whoknows all the short cuts along back streetsto the buildings he must oversee, the com-pletion of this year's capital improvementprojects means one thing; he's got to startthinking about planning for next year.

Phone scamAT&T is alerting residents nation-

wide about a telephone scam involvingthe area code 809. Families shouldavoid dialing any number with an 809area code that they do not recognize.

Scam Busters and the NationalFraud Information Center have discov-ered a quickly spreading scam inwhich a person receives a message onan answering machine or pager thatasks to call a number beginning witharea code 809.

People who unknowingly returnthese phone calls are charged over

$2,000 per minute, and usually receivea long recorded message that tried tokeep them on the phone as long as pos-sible.

The 809 area code is a "pay-per-call" number in the Bahamas. Peoplewho call this area code long distanceare not warned of charges involved andwill face extreme billing from a for-eign company.

According to At&T Field ServiceManager Sandi Van Handel, if you areasked to dial an 809 number, just dis^regard the message.

An outrageTo The Leader:

After the Freeport Village Trusteesmeeting of August 4, the Village ofFreeport, Mayor Glacken, his board,Chief of Freeport Police MichaelWoodward and BuildingSuperintendent Joseph Madigan don'ttake seriously residents' pleas to havecode violations, out of control livebands blasting amplified music andquality of life issues adhered to onFreeport's Nautical Mile. The viola-tions and noise'levels still exist andnoise ordinances are not beingenforced.

Why do a select few business own-ers on the Nautical Mile benefit andall of the residents are ignored? This isan outrage!

G.L.O.W. Civic Associationrequests an injunct ion to stop allmusic on the Nautical Mile until a res-olution can be agreed upon by resi-dents, business owners and Freeport'sVillage Board.

Baldwin softball gameTo The Leader:

On September 5 at Baldwin Park'sBlue Field, our community will cometogether to celebrate the second annu-al Baldwin Community Leaders'Charity Softball Game. I want toinvite all residents to attend, partici-pate and enjoy the festivities. I saidlast year when I founded the event

that this game is all about Baldwin andI still mean it. We can all make thisnight a fun one for the entire commu-nity.

This year, we will have a double-header, first featuring a children'sgame at 6:15 p.m. and then, at 8 p.m.,an adult game. (Adult players are stillwelcome to register for a $20 dona-tion; call Tony Tarantino at 888-474-1735 if you're interested in playing.)Opening ceremonies will start at 7:30p.m. and we will have Baldwin's ownG-String Band performing live. I ampleased to report to the communitythat we have already raised $19,400towards the evening's festivities. Thisis absolutely fantastic and I am soproud of all the committee memberswho have helped make this dream ofmine a reality for the second year in arow. We are also grateful to those localbusiness owners who have supportedthis event financially. Monies raisedthis year will fund a donation to theBaldwin Council Against Drug Abuseand the purchase an antique-styleclock for our community, helping tobring civic pride to everyone for manyyears to come.

I hope to see all of your smilingfaces at the ballgame. There will bemusic, raffles, a 50/50, a silent auc-tion, event memorabilia and plenty offun for all the family. Let's just relax,celebrate Baldwin and laugh togetherall night long. Please come and sup-port our great town. It should be ablast!

Where were you when the lights went out?

by Debbie Kupperberg

Where were you during the bigBlackout of '03? Everyone's got astory! Whether you were stuck in asteaming subway car or roughing it inyour split level, there will be laics tohand down to future generations. Mykids will probably remember Ihe handshadows we made on Ihe ceiling usinga flashlight, and the "light show" wecreated in the pilch darkness with myhusband's laser level. Here are otherstories folks from Baldwin to Seafordhad to share:

"Al 1611 hours, it hit the fan," saida Baldwin volunteer firelighter whosimply identified himself as "Al." "At1635, we alerted the department tostand by their quarters. We had no

major emergencies. The firemen whoresponded slept overnight on cols out-side. It was loo hoi inside."

The blackout also affected alien-dance al local restaurants. "We got thelights back al seven, then two hourslaler they went oul again," saidGeorge, owner of Ihe Woodclefl CrabShack in Freeport. "We had candle-

light al the tables, but people justwanted to get out. We did lose busi-

ness, but that's the way it goes,whether you have a blackout, a hurri-cane or a snowstorm." On the otherhand, "it was aclually good for busi-ness," said Dina, a manager at theSeaford Palace Diner. "There werelines down the block the next day

because other diners in the area wereclosed."

Residents weathered the heat andlack of electricity like pros, and evenlearned new skills, like FrancineBerman of Bellmore. "My five-year-old wanled nothing but hamburgers, soI ended up having to use my outside

grill. My husband was stuck in thecity, and he had to walk me throughGrilling 101, step by step."

Chuck Tonna, of Wanlagh, learnednot to trust his sense of direction. "Thepower went out a litlle before my Irainarrived al ihe Jamaica slalion. I wassitting there for a half-hour roasting.Then the LIRR people opened thedoors and walked us up the tracks toIhe station. I had this 'bright idea' thatmaybe if I walked east, I'd get lucky

somehow and find a phone thatworked. I started walking and endedup back at Jamaica station. So I tried

again and ended up at Liberty Avenueand 105th Street, not Ihe safesl neigh-borhood. I found a phone lhal workedand called my wife to pick me up, thensat on a big oil can in the middle of agas station. My wife came in two

hours, and we pulled into my drive-way, running on fumes, at 7:30, twohours after that." Mr. Tonna also

remarked about Ihe enlerprising busi-

nessman he witnessed while waiting."Someone was trying to sell five gal-lons of gas for $25!"

Despite the inconveniences, manycan say the experience helped peoplebond. For Caroline Fiorentino ofWantagh, the blackout brought herfamily closer togelher. "My grandchil-dren slept over and I told them abouthow ihere was no air condilioningwhen I was a liltle girl. We had one bigpajama party until 1 a.m. It was a won-derful, delightful experience."

Inspectors aid lost childTwo Nassau County fire inspectors

came to the aid of an unsupervised childin Freeport on Thursday, August 21. FireInspectors Michael T Golden andRaymond E. Kuhner, Jr. were investi-gating a suspicious boat at CowMeadow Park Marina in Freeport whenthey became aware of a male childwalking unsupervised and unclothed onMain Street. The child did not speakEnglish and began to walk away whenthe inspectors approached him.

Fire Inspectors Golden and Kuhnerdetermined the direction the child mayhave come from, called for assistanceand after a 1/4 mile walk, they, locatedthe child's residence on Ann Drive inFreeport. The child's mother said shewas unaware that her son had left ihehouse and assumed he was watching tel-evision, but said he may have left thehouse to look for his father.

The incident was then turned over tothe Freeport Police Department.

What do you think you're doing?! Putdown that remote and pick up thoseapplications! Yes, that's right, boys andgirls, it's time to make that step in theright direction and start applying to col-leges. No matter what college you planon applying to, from Harvard to NassauCommunity, the application is para-mount to acceptance. Here are a few tipsto help you surmount the burden of col-lege application!

First and foremost it is very importantthat you're application is neat, clean andappropriately completed. Now-a-daysinterviews are so rare that the onlymeans by which admission officers areable to evaluate you is from your appli-

'. cation.Not only is the content of the infor-

mation you supply telling of your char-acter but the way in which you present itcan be just as important. The volume ofundergraduate applications have beenrocketing sky high and it's only going toget worse. How can you make yourselfstand out and get that leg up on the otherapplicant? Providing the college withsupplemental information can alwayshelp. Be sure to add information such asany academic competitions you partici-pated in and/or if you know what yourmajor is, what you have done to pursuethat goal. Colleges are very interested ina well-rounded student that does notonly have a strong academic standingbut has also shown a challenging pro-gression in their academic program

throughout their four years of highschool Just taking Advanced Placementclasses does not put you in an IvyLeague school.

Participating in a scholastic sporthelps to reassure colleges that you arewell-rounded. Volunteer! Show themthat you have made an impact on yourcommunity or in someone's life. Theseschools are out there to make money.Yes, providing an education is a busi-ness and they want as much money asthey can possibly get. So by showingthem that you have made an impact,socially speaking, tells them that youwill make an impact in .your industry,raising their status as an university.

Show interest in the university beforeyou start to apply. Visit the universitiesyou plan on attending, talk to faculty,and really let your emphatic zeal comeout. If you are'sure of the school youwant to attend, apply early decision orearly action. It's more of a gamble butthis lets the school know you really wantto go there. Tackling the essay is one ofthe most difficult parts of application.Make sure that your writing is clear andconcise. Have someone else read it. Ifit's convoluted and stretches, it's bad.

Send your application Priority Mailwith return receipt requested. Make surethat the admissions office receives yourapplication. Far too often applicationsget lost in the mail and the applicantdoesn't find out until it's too late.

And last but certainly not least, tryand relax! It's not that bad, really. Justwait till you have to take expositorywriting classes:'
