CDC celebrates FreeportCDC of Long Island, local dignitaries,

Citibank employees, and volunteersrecently revitalized the property of alow-income Freeport homeowner, dedi-cated a memorial garden, and celebratedthe work of revitalization projectsthroughout the Village of Freeport. Inrecognition of these accomplishments,Citibank contributed $20,000 to CDC ofLong Island.

"Community improvement activitiesare a vital piece of neighborhood revital-ization," said President and ChiefExecutive Officer of CDC of LongIsland, Wilbur Klatsky. "The appearanceof a neighborhood helps to attract newhomeowners and allows existing resi-dents to see that progress is taking placein their neighborhood."

"The CDC of Long Island project inFreeport-is a win-win for everyone," saidFreeport Mayor Bill Glacken. "It enableshomeowners to remain in their housesprotecting their major investment, andhelps to revitalize the neighborhood.Today's event, with neighbors volunteer-ing to help neighbors, is a perfect exam-ple of the true spirit of Freeport."

Armed with shovels, rakes, seedlings,mulch, and potting soil, more than 35volunteers consisting of Freeport resi-

dents, Citibank employees, and CDCstaff, assisted Freeport homeownersSally and Roosevelt Simpson residing at222 East Dean Street in Freeport with anextreme garden makeover. The land-scaping project included a complete gar-d^n renovation and expansion..

- In addition to the beautification proj-ect, Mayor Glacken and Mr. Klatsky pre-sented the Simpsons with a Japanesemaple and memory rock inscribed withthe word "Dad" in remembrance of EllieCarter, the deceased father and father-in-law of the Simpsons.

The Simpsons, an elderly couple, donot have the resources for home mainte-nance. As a result, of CDC's WRAP(Weatherization Rehabilitation AssetPreservation) program, the Simpsonswere able to receive grants and loans torehabilitate their property with energyconservation improvements.

CDC of Long Island dedicated thelandscaping projects in recognition ofNational NeighborWorks® Week, aweeklong celebration' of the workand accomplishments of theNeighborWorks® Network of morethan 240 nonprofit organizations nationwide,who are dedicated to increasing homeowner

The June 14 Baldwin Board ofEducation meeting, which lasted untilalmost midnight, could be described asa three-act play, albeit one which couldhave used a firmer hand in editing.

Act One was the portion devoted tohonoring retiring staff. (See articleelsewhere in this issue). Act Twoincluded the regular business agendaof contract awards, textbook adoptionsand policy discussions. Act Three,however, included most of the dia-logue, plot, characters, conflict, andclimax, but contrary to audience wish-es and hopes, did not include the finaldenouement or resolution.

The plot began with middle schoolEnglish teacher and chairperson KevinHarrington's announcement to 'stu-

tions that he has elected not to applyfor the extra-curricular position ofmusical director. (Such positions areannually posted and appointments arefor one year). The complication that

.has ensued is partially caused by thefact that school boards, by law, cannotdiscuss any personnel issues in public.

In a phone call to Mr. Harrington byThe Leader, the 10-year musical direc-tor noted'that he would also prefer toremain silent on the issue and indicat-ed that it was unfortunate that hissilence might have been misconstruedor misinterpreted by some people.

The cast of characters is large - overtwo dozen students and a somewhat

' smaller number of parents dramatical-ly and emotionally presented their caseas to why the board should "make Mr.Harrington stay." Some students readtheir comments which were, for the

from page 1poignant. They described the influence Mr.Harrington has had on their lives. "I canstand up in public and speak because ofMr. Harrington"..."He made me believethat I could act"..."He had a vision and hemade it happen." "We were selected as thefirst school to present 'Ragtime' because ofMr. Harrington."

Parents also got into the act. NatalieCrowe, president of Baldwin Friends ofMusic, outlined the importance of musicand fine arts in general and the musicalproductions in particular. She suggestedthat their success was directly linked to thequality of Mr. Harrington's skills and per-sonal enthusiasm.

Another parent spoke of the social andsociological benefits derived from themusical productions while still anotherqueried, "Would the board allow the coachof a winning football team to get awaywithout calling to find out what was thematter?" (This issue does not affect Mr.Harrington's teaching or supervisoryresponsibilities.)

When parental comments meanderedinto a host of both veiled and pointed criti-cisms of the board and the district, board

Baldwin students express views dramaticallyPresident James Scannell noted "my dis-agreement with some of your premises."Otherwise, however, he extended wide-spread concessions to the audience, evenallowing a 15-minute open period for ques-tions earlier in the meeting since so manyof the potential speakers were studentswho had a test the next day.

This courtesy, however, did not deter atleast a dozen of the students and several ofthe parents from staying, only to resumetheir comments after 11 p.m. Bound bylegalities, Mr.Scannell essentially just lis-tened, and his fellow four board memberssaid not a word in response.

Even when parent Dr. James Sobermanstood to comment on his personal interpre-tation of a "confidential" phone conversa-tion with Mr. Harrington, Mr. Scannellallowed the free-flow dialogue to continue.Mr. Soberman described the issue as "amatter of honor regarding the difficultieshe's having."

He suggested that the educator was"overburdened...and doesn't feel as, if he'sgetting the support services he needs." Hesaid that "a promised meeting to addressthese problems never occurred" andadvised the school board that "a couple of

phone calls are in order." Turning to thestudents he said, "Mr. Harrington lovesyou guys and this is hurting him."

Responding to The Leader concerningthose alleged comments, Mr. Harringtonsaid that it was unfortunate that his silencemight have been misconstrued or misinter-preted.

Mr. Scannell reiterated the board's com-mitment to the future of the fine arts pro-gram and to the middle school and highschool musicals. He said, "I promise, and Isay this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, wewill conduct an intergalactic search for areplacement." Specifically, he spoke ofadvertising the position in the New YorkTimes and theater-related media.

But students and parents don't want areplacement. "We don't want the curtain togo down on this era," one student said."Your inaction is as bad as an action," a

parent accused. "We implore you to revisitthis...You have about two weeks to iron itout."

In a heartfelt statement, young SamCohen, who has starred in several of themiddle school musicals, pleaded, "Justmake a phone call."

Act Three is not over. The board madeno specific promises. One student pledgedto "come back again and again" until Mr.Harrington returns. Parents made veiledreferences to future budget votes.

At this final board meeting of theschool year, the dialogue and plot werenot unlike the final episode of a long-run-ning television classic. What characterswill return? Will there be an epilogue?Will the audience learn to love anotherleading man? Will everyone learn that in

Guest editorial:Tips for a successful prom night

Prom night may be the most anticipated night of the yearfor teens, and the most dreaded for their parents.

Most teens heading off to their prom this year will tell theirparents that they know everything about drinking and driv-ing, and about their parents' other concerns. However,according to safety experts, it will take more than talk toensure a safe evening for all.

•"No matter how strong the family relationship, many par-ents are still unaware of the choices that teens face everyday," said Ray Palermo, director of public information fornational car insurer Teachers' Insurance Plan.

"For parents to successfully reach their kids, they'll have toapproach safety issues in new, often more direct ways." Heoffered several tips that go beyond "don't drink and drive."

For parents:• Get involved in planning your teen's Prom night.• Talk to your teen in advance about how important it is not to

ruin a great evening. Despite what they may say, teens want par-ents involved in their safety. Talk about what they should say ordo in certain high-risk situations. Consider having a "contract"for the night, laying out the rules everyone agrees on.

• Set out rules regarding post-prom parties or other activi-ties, with whom they will be, where, for how long and whatthey will be doing.

» Get a complete itinerary for the evening, including namesof other prom-goers they will be with and phone numbers oftheir parents.

• Set a curfew based on past behavior, but be reasonable.This is a special night. Have your teen call if there is a delay.

• Send your teen a text message during the nighttelling them to have fun, but reminding them not toruin a great time. /•

• Be on call for a ride home or other emergency.• Have a "no questions asked" (at least not that night) pol-

icy on getting home safely.. • Join with other parents and rent a limo for them. .

• Be the chauffeur for the night, but don't meddle. Rent avintage car to make it more special.

For teens:• Make an agreement with parents to not drink and drive,

and not to ride with anyone else who is drinking.'•Resist high-risk activities of all types.• To avoid tampering, do not leave your beverage unattended.• As a surprise, check in with your parents during the night.

It will reassure them about how you are doing.• Always buckle up.

In short, follow your parents' rules.

THE FREEPORT LIBRARY PLAYSBEETHOVEN: On Thursdays, June 29 and July6, at 2:30 p.m., Beethoven historian Dr. StuartBailin will discuss Beethoven's life and musicwith musical selections from his works as illus-trations. Beethoven composed symphonies, con-certos, string quartets, songs, pieces of chambermusic, two masses and one opera, "Fidelio."

In fact, he composed 138 pieces of music withopus numbers and 200 others without opus num-bers. The unbelievable thing is that much of hiswonderful work was done when he was goingdeaf or when he was completely deaf. How didsomeone who was deaf for most of his adult lifebecome the greatest composer of all time?

In this presentation, we find out what wasgoing on in his life when he wrote his master-pieces in addition to discovering who were thesignificant characters in his complex and trou-bled life.

CREDIT CARD SCAMS...We werescammed, almost. It's not as though Ihaven't heard a variety of presentationson identity theft or credit card scams,but both my husband and I tend to bepretty-cautious about securing personalinformation.

The other day, however, we received acall from our credit card companyinforming us that our credit card numberwas used, or at least attempted to beused, by an employee- of a store atwhich we shopped in Connecticut. Asubsequent legitimate use of our cardnumber by phone triggered the creditcard company's security oversight andso we received the phone call.

I must say that the credit card peopleweren't initially all that forthcomingabout the details of the situation, and somy husband called back using the cus-tomer service number on the credit cardfor our own personal verification - tomake sure that the intended scam wasreal and we weren't being scammed bythe phone call.

While we were pleased that no realdamage was done - except we willreceive a new credit card and accountnumber - it is disconcerting to think ofjust how vulnerable we all are to scams.There seems to be no scarcity of verybold people who are willing to takerisks.

At the train station the very next day,my husband overheard two men talkingabout problems they had just encoun-tered with their credit cards, both withemployees using the credit card num-bers of customers.

For that reason, I am particularly dis-tressed about the growing tendency ofstores not to check credit cards.Supermarkets no longer verify signa-tures, In fact, one major drug store chaindoesn't even require a signature on cred-it card purchases under $25.

Today many people charge almosteverything since so many credit cardshave some sort of pay back - money,frequent flyer miles, etc. for purchases.Because of the quantity of such purchas-es, there might-be the temptation not tokeep receipts and not to reconcile pur-chases with monthly statements.

When I spoke to the representativefrom the company with which I hadmade the telephone credit card purchase,he said that sometime ago, he had paidhis own monthly credit card bill thatincluded a $12 purchase which he justassumed his wife had made. Whenanother $12 charge appeared the follow-ing month, he asked her about it only todiscover that the charge for both monthswas a fraud. We then discussed thescammer's philosophy - just how muchcan you charge before a person is suspi-

Dr. Britto on violenceEditor's note: Baldwin

Superintendent of Schools Dr. RobertBritto released the following statementregarding a recent Newsday articleconcerning violence in Long Islandschools.

Newsday's article this week onschool violence in Long Islandschools, though based on statisticsfrom the State Education Department,resulted in a broad range of numbersthat suggests districts are reportingincidents differently. As a result, thisshould not result in direct comparisonsbetween districts.

In Baldwin, we report all incidents,and all reported incidents are, in turn,

sent to the state. We maintain stan-dards for student behavior and holdstudents responsible for their actions.That is, in and of itself, a good practicewe do not want to discourage.

We actively support character educa-tion programs in our schools and haveaddressed school climate this year atthe middle and high school. Nextschool year, we are adding the GREATprogram from Nassau County Police tothe curriculum.

It is also unfortunate that under theviolent offense category, there is nodistinction between incidents thatrange from homicides to minor alterca-tions and, as a result, this does notclearly or accurately reflect our district.

cious and follows it up.Some time ago, at a Chamber of

Commerce meeting, merchants weretold to be on the look-out for phony billswhich were being sent to businesses forsome sort of plumbing hook-up mainte-nance. The "bill" looked authentic; itlooked as if it was sent by a municipal-ity; the sum was small enough so that abusiness might not bother checking itsvalidity.

The bottom line is that we must bescrupulously careful about our finances.The irony is, however, that some of thevery information which we are told notto' share with anyone is absolutelyrequired for certain services. SocialSecurity numbers are mandatory in doc-tors' offices, since most health insuranceis based on that form of identification.To purchase a cell phone and cell phoneservice, you must also give out yourSocial Security number. When I pur-chased my cell phone, I jokingly told theyoung man who processed the order thatI would personally haunt him if I hadany subsequent problem involving mySocial Security number.

It's rather ironic that everyone is up inarms about privacy when it comes to thegovernment and its attempts to providesecurity to the nation. Yet, we willinglygive out essential information to almostanyone.

Some suggestions - put your name on/ the Do Not Call Registry. That should

stop most unwanted phone solicitations.Unfortunately that law does not apply tocharities (or political calls) and so we allmust be equally tough about cutting offconversation with representatives of

ous or personal affiliation. Don't evergive credit card information to such acaller.

All credit card receipts should be keptto be reconciled with monthly state-ments. If there is any discrepancy, callthe credit card customer service numberlisted on your card and ask for a furtherexplanation. (Sometimes we do just for-get a purchase or else the actual officialname of a business is different from thename by which we know the business).And most especially, keep track of yourcredit cards, their numbers and the cus-tomer service number so you can calleven if your card is stolen.

Also, get a shredder. Today, there aretoo many documents we receive withtoo much personal information on it.Make sure such documents are shreddedbefore you throw them in the trash.

When it comes to the Internet, mypersonal knowledge and experience arelimited but it certainly seems that thepossibility for fraud there is magnified.All the above cautions plus more apply.

Personally, I have no confidence thatso-called "secure" sites are in factsecure, and once again we should makesure that when we order anything, wekeep track of our orders and the costswe authorized and be very certain thatthe final number includes all the varioushandling and shipping fees. We shouldstick with well-known legitimate com-panies.

The bottom line is that we must bevery cautious. We wouldn't walk aroundwith our pocketbooks open or our wal-lets sticking out of our back pockets.Carelessness with credit cards and theInternet is.the high-tech equivalent.

Baldwin retirees honoredfrom page 3

staff members are teachers, secretariesor members of other school services.Former Superintendent Gene Lanzarowas fond of saying, "They are teachersall," and ifwas under his tenure that thecelebratory event began.

Among the accolades were - "Herinfluence bordered on that of a par-ent," and presenters outlined a widevariety of the honorees' skills andcharacteristics - "She is the consum-mate professional; She is filled withintegrity...dedication...a wonderfulsense of humor"

In turn staff members described thejoy of working in Baldwin. Whilesome spent their entire 40-year careersin the one district, others were in .Baldwin for shorter periods of time.

"I promised I wasn't going to cry,"said high school .science teacherTimothy Morsch who remembered"volunteering" to go from the old jun-ior high school to the high school as thenewest member of the staff during aperiod of declining enrollment andteacher lay-offs.

Teacher James Senicola suggested thataudience members write a letter to ateacher who influenced them, since oftenteachers never see the final fruits of theirefforts. Elementary teacher MarilynChairamonte spoke of a varied careerafter graduating from a commercial high

school. She spoke of finding her "heart"when she settled into teaching secondgrade, and she urged the audience to beopen to the changes which come intolife.

Secretary Janet Bryck added a doseof levity to the occasion, noting that her•husband Jack had retired six years pre-viously; "His vacation is now over."

Honored for their service were: NellaOhliger and Marilyn Picchioni(Brookside ^School), Gisella Alberti(Lenox School), Cora lanuario(Meadow School), Lawrence Burke,Janet Bryck, Marilyn Chiaramonte,Andrea Kopely, and Diane McGuire(Plaza School), Kathy Hinchcliff, KarlaLomangino and . Sandra Young(Baldwin Middle School), KathyCaroli, Barbara Kaplan, TimothyMorsch and James Senicola (BaldwinSenior High School), Rochelle Simonand Robert Koch (Pupil Services),Joseph De Lead (Fine and PerformingArts), Eileen Borawski (Athletics),Dennis Ferlih, Daniel Harned andWilliam Washington (Facilities andGrounds), and Deborah Martin, princi-pal of Milburn School.

In a fitting contrast to these honors,other teachers were honored withtenure. They and their families, whomMr. Scannell described as their much-needed support, stood and received theapplause of the audience.

Police reports come from lawenforcement agencies. Suspects arepresumed innocent unless and untilconvicted in court.

To the Baldwincommunity

To The Leader:This past week the Civil Service

Employees Association (CSEA) notifiedthe Baldwin Public Library that CSEAhas rejected further mediation of a settle-ment. CSEA has represented the staff ofthe library in labor negotiations forincreased wages and benefits during thepast two years of labor negotiations.

The library's board of trustees desiresto continue working towards resolutionof the wage and benefits issues separat-ing the library and the union even thoughCSEA broke off mediation efforts andhas initiated "fact:finding" proceduresunder the Taylor Law.

Since CSEA has ceased participationin mediation, the library's Board ofTrustees is obliged to report to theBaldwin community its efforts thus far toreach an amicable resolution of contractnegotiations with CSEA, as well as itsutter frustration with the union's refusalto continue mediation.

The Board of Trustees commencednegotiations with CSEA in July 2004 inthe hope of arriving at a mutually agree-able labor contract establishing fair andequitable wage increases for the library'sstaff.

Various settlement proposals wereoffered, including the most recent libraryoffer of a July 1, 2006 salary adjustmentof $2,000 and 14.5% in percentage salaryincreases over five years, retroactive toJuly 2004, as well as the library's contri-butions towards retired employees' andtheir dependents' health insurance premi-ums for the initial 8 years of retirement.The library's offer would provide most

What Do YouRespect?Heidi E. Warm

You know... nothing articu-lates the importance of the "mes-sage" like working in a school ; especially when the kidsyou work with come to imitate what you do and/or say.

Let us consider money, for instance... Now we allknow, at least in this part of the world that it is a highlycoveted asset. How do we discriminate (and help ourchildren to discern) where to draw the line around issuesof money and its significance as a contingent reward.

I was always bothered by the fact that drug dealersare placed on a level playing field with bankers, doctors,lawyers, and directors of philanthropic organizations;by quite a few based on their financial plane. This issimply because all groups-rich, poor, academic, andlaborer unfortunately place the highest premium onmoney, its acquisition, and universal recognition as ameasure of accomplishment. This leaves those of uswho are commissioned to act as examples, as in the caseof being employed by the school system, in a bit of aquandary.Given our present proximity to Father 's Day, I recall myown father's personal, childhood history of being onpublic assistance.

I've heard of the concept of character and its fre-quent juxtaposition with qualities such as empathy,pride, loyalty, respect, and integrity. My question isthis... Can we hold ourselves (and our children, forwhom we model) to a standard high and balancedenough to have both a healthy attitude towards moneyas well as character?

Here we go with the opinion again... You knew itwas coming.

Let us take a closer- look at school personnel.Remember the scandalous Roslyn School Districtaffair? The superintendent was on the take for 8 milliondollars while financing the lifestyles of lovers on bothcoasts of the country, simultaneously.

On a far less spectacular scale, I am aware of anumber of situations of teachers becoming pregnantwhile not married. This was actually a news issue notlong ago where a teacher working in a Catholic schoolwas asked to resign, given her situation. It came close tohome, since I had been involved in a cabaret group thatrehearsed at St. Rose of Lima parish in Massapequa,where the case took place. Liberal as I am, and non-judgmental as 1 attempt to be, 1 must say... it was appro-priate that she be asked to resign.

No, I don't care what you do in your own home,on your own time. Feel free to disgrace yourself all youwant. But don't you dare then get up in front of a class-room full of children and present yourself as an exam-ple... not to my children. What are we doing to our kids?

I'll tell you what we're doing... in addition to con-fusing the heck out of them about what's right andwrong... we're whacking them over the head with astandard of LESS-THAN-ness. 1 know that for myself,admittedly selfishly; that when I'm old, disabled andunder a surgeon's knife, I want the doctor to take prideand be equally as selfish about the image and the work-manship (s)he puts forth.

What do we hold sacred... (if anything) as a socie-ty?... as educators? Furthermore, What are teaching ourdaughters about dating, marriage, and fidelity?

Maybe the educational industry is just so desper-ate that they'll hire anybody, promoting any behavior,from embezzlement to out-of-wedlock child bearing...By the way, isn't the single-parent family situation abit-time prognosticator for bad stuff happening???Read the research. You know what?... Let me giveRandi* a call. *(Randi Weingarten is the long-timepresident of the UFT.)

page 7library employees with the equivalent ofmore than 4% in annual salary increaseswhile providing the library's lowest paidemployees with average annual salaryincreases exceeding 4%. In addition tothe library's generous salary offer, libraryemployees will continue to receive exten-sive employment benefits each and everyyear of the contract of up to 25 days vaca-tion leave, 13 sick leave days, 11 paidholidays and 4 personal leave days.. In addition to substantial salaryincreases and vacation/holiday/sick/per-sonal leave benefits, the library providesits employees with 100 percent of theannual cost of individual comprehensivehealth insurance, with annual costs to the

-library exceeding $6,300 for individualerrfployees' coverage and $9,900 annual-ly for employees with family/dependentscoverage.

By reason of the skyrocketing costs ofhealth insurance, the library Board ofTrustees has requested of employees amodest contribution of .$635 annuallytowards health insurance costs, even

though CSEA has, thus far, steadfastlyrefused to compromise.

The library Board of Trustees valuesits employees and their services to theBaldwin community; however, in fair-ness to our taxpayers, annual salaryincreases must be equitable and employ-ees must shoulder a nominal portion oftheir health insurance costs. The Boardof Trustees will continue to participate inlabor negotiations with CSEA and itsstaff representatives, with the goal ofachieving a contract with equitablewages and employee benefits, fair to boththe library's staff and the community'staxpayers.

The library Board of Trustees appreci-ates the concern and-support expressedby members of our community, andwishes to assure our patrons that libraryservices will continue throughout thisprocess.
