School trustees heard a report attheir August 23 meeting fromAssistant Superintendent forCurriculum Robert W. Harris onthe district's new plans for hometutoring, which he said would savethe district up to $200,000 fromthe approximately $600,000 cur-rently spent.

The tutoring would be per-formed by existing district staff,instead of hiring outside tutors.

Mr. Harris said the programwould be held at the Hi-HelloChild Care Center for students ingrades 7-12 who are designated as'homebound.

Homebound students wouldinclude those absent for medicalreasons or those subject to disci-plinary action in a superinten-dent's hearing.

Mr. Harris said the location isconducive to providing a safeenvironment for home schoolingfor students and staff members. Asecurity guard would be provided.

The program would consist oftwo sessions each day, separatedby an hour lunch period. He esti-mated that each session wouldconsist of about 10 students.

Classroom space would beleased in the basement of the cen-ter at 134 South Ocean for handi-capped students.

During public comment,Kenneth Bagatelle asked why thedistrict did not use free space atschool locations or at the FreeportMemorial Library.

Mr. Harris replied that the dis-trict "used the library for the pastthree years, but the library becameunavailable for use." He saidalternative free sites could not belocated and "we had to look for alease." Mr. Harris added that sus-pended students would not beallowed on school property.

Deputy Superintendent KishoreKuncham told The Leader that "adraft-lease agreement is still in theworks," but the approximate costwould be about $1,100 a monthduring the school year.

Other requirements must be metbefore the State EducationDepartment gives final approvalfor the lease to be authorized, Mr.Kuncham said.

Energy performanceMr. Kuncham discussed an

energy performance project andcontract with the board that thedistrict plans to undertake under aself-funded State EducationDepartment program. Therewould be no cost to the district.

He said various energy perform-ance companies would, submitoffers for an in-depth audit of thedistrict's energy use and the boardeventually would select the con-tractor.

"Savings are guaranteed throughpayment of any debt that may arisefor equipment purchase," Mr.Kuncham said. "The contractor hasto guarantee 'the energy savings topay for the lease of equipment usedto fund capital projects."

Thugged Out Players, Nine TrayGang, and the Crips - all street gangs -have been "tagging" or marking upsigns, sidewalks and buildings inFreeport this summer.

Sometimes these tags are used tomark territory or convey a message,Freeport Police Chief MichaelWoodward told The Leader.Sometimes, the tags are made by indi-viduals, called taggers, who have noaffiliation with gangs. However,"graffiti has a detrimental effect on ourneighborhoods and should be reportedto police," he said.

In a report about street gangs, issued byformer Nassau police officer Corey

Alleyne, gang graffiti usually covers asmall area and grows larger as the streetgang becomes bolder and gains confi-dence. "Their graffiti marks their turf,thus informing other gangs of their pres-ence," he wrote in his report. "Rivalgangs will often cross out opposing graf-fiti." Mr. Alleyne added that "graffiti isusually signed by the author and may alsocontain the names of other members."

The graffiti that appears on the coverof this week's Leader does not containany names.

T.O.P. graffiti was found inNortheast Park. It stands for ThuggedOut Players. "They have been aroundfor some time," said Chief Woodward."They are known to us. Some of theirmembers are in the seventh and eighthgrade." He said they usually wear long

N.T.G. graffiti was photographed ona group of buildings on North MainStreet at the border between Freeport.and Roosevelt: "N.T.G. is the NineTray Gang, a blood set fromRoosevelt," said Chief Woodward.

A three-pointed crown and the num-ber "13" were found in Cow Meadow.Park. The Leader asked if this crownrepresented the Latin Kings and thenumber 13 referred to MS-13, anotherstreet gang. But Chief Woodward saida three-pointed crown usually refers tothe Crips. The more 'familiar five-pointed crown is a tag used by theLatin Kings. ' . •

EM State, which has been seen onwalls in Northeast Freeport, is "not agang tag," said Chief Woodward, butin fact refers to a hip-hop business.

Chief Woodward urged the public tocontact police. "We will photograph[the tags or graffiti] and' establish ifthere is any pattern. If it is on publicproperty we remove it immediatelyand if it is private property we workwith homeowners or businesses toremove it."

In other news, the Freeport Policemade arrests of two members of MS-13 for menacing and recovered aloaded shotgun on Babylon Turnpikeon August 25, Chief Woodward report-ed.

He called the plan "an innovative wayto get projects done" and no bond issuewould be needed.

The board approved a resolutionauthorizing school administrators to pre-pare and seek proposals from energy per-formance contractors for the eventualimplementation of energy conservationmeasures.

Trustee Debra Mule called the plan "ano-lose situation" for the district.

School funding discussionBoard members briefly discussed a res-

olution on the adequacy of school fundingthat would be on the agenda of their firstmeeting in September.

Trustee Ronald Ellerbe, legislativecommittee chairman, said the New YorkState School Boards Association recom-mended that the board consider the reso-lution in accordance with "Act forEducation Month" in September.

Mr. Ellerbe said "hopes are that similarresolutions would come from school dis-tricts throughout the state to draw theattention of legislators to take an activefinancial role in the education of stu-dents."

Other actionsAlong with several staff and adult edu-

cation appointments, the board alsonamed May Wong as interim director offood and nutrition, and Drs. AllenReichman and David T. Klein as schoolmedical inspectors.

They also appointed George Kandilakisas an impartial hearing officer for studentplacement under the Committee forSpecial Education.

Trustees approved the stipends for

advisors to 134 clubs and organizations atdistrict schools. Stipends range from $522each for a conductor and accompanist atthe high school Music Department and forthe GENTS Club advisor at Dodd, to$4,395 each for the advisors of Flashingsand the high school yearbook and the stu-dent organization controller at the highschool.

The amounts are based on point valuesassigned to each activity. AssistantSuperintendent for Personnel Dr. MaryBediako said the points are based on fivecriteria, including the amount of time anadvisor devotes to a program.

Superintendent Dr. Eric Eversjey notedan organization must operate for a yearbefore it can apply for funding. He saidthat, in his experience, "it's the most con-servative way to fund extracurricularactivities" that he has encountered.

Resident Pat Lewis noted that someadvisors have duplicate assignments andquestioned if that is "wise for the successof the program."

Pizza, pizzaBoard members awarded the annual

pizza contract to Tommy's Village Pizzaof Bellmore to supply pizza for the com-ing school year, primarily to FreeportHigh School and Dodd Junior High.

Mr. Kuncham said the cost to the dis-trict would depend on the amount of piz-zas ordered, which could total about$67,000.

Trustees also awarded $40,000 in con-tracts for music supplies and equipment toabout a dozen companies for 340 items.

students to take the ACT test for college,in addition to the more common SATexam, and to provide an accessible venuein the district for it to be offered.

"We should have it at least four timesduring the year," he said. Currently, theACT is not administered in the district.

He noted that research has shown boystend to score higher on ACTs and girlshigher on SATs.

Mr. Bagatelle, in his capacity as presi-dent of the Hofstra University AlumniAssociation, invited the district to send amarching band to participate at the uni-versity's Homecoming on October 7.

Alan Jay, in his ongoing campaignagainst high taxes, cited a recent article ina financial newspaper and a HooverInstitute study that the parochial and pri-vate schools in New York City "outper-form" public schools at less than half thecost. The article cited a University ofIdaho economics professor and a highschool principal. He urged the board tofind other means of funding educationthan to raise taxes.

Taking issue with Mr. Jay's statements,Dr. Eversley said the information cited inthe article "runs counter to that informa-tion in the field."

He added that "the issue of cost to edu-cate children is one of critical concern"and noted that a° number of parochial

schools have had to close because ofincreasing expenses.

The superintendent also said that publicschool districts "pare down their expendi-tures to fit the needs of a community's(financial) situation."

Mr. Ellerbe, responding to Mr. Jay'scomments, said that state courts haveruled that schools in New York are under-funded by about $5.6 billion.

Ms. Mule noted that "private schoolsdo not have to take in all students, whichis a factor in all issues affecting publicschools." She added that most publicschools outperform private institutions.

Other board commentsTrustees had high praise for the success

of the summer school program thatrecently concluded. A total of 51 studentsgraduated.

"We had a very good summer schooland we shouldn't be surprised," said Dr.Eversley. "It was a lot of hard work bypeople in the program."

The superintendent also noted the dis-trict "is well along in its school yearpreparations" and is gearing up for thefourth annual "First Day" event where thecommunity is invited to a barbecue,scheduled to take place September 5.

The board's next meeting will beSeptember 6.

The first day of schoolby J.L. Toscano / '

I am an eighth grade Spanish teacher and the parent of a won-derful six-year old boy who is starting first grade in a few days.I know that some of my colleagues start out the year by "layingdown the law," establishing class routines, starting off strict; andsome even try to "refrain from smiling until Christmas."

I have, to admit that I've sometimes been guilty of entertainingthis time-honored ritual, to some extent. However, sometimes Iwonder... Have I ever overlooked a student's enthusiasm orcuriosity in the mad rush to start off the year in an orderly andwell organized manner? Have I ever stifled creativity because Iwanted to get through a certain amount of material in my allot-ted 48 minutes? Have I ever turned a genuine.smile (that wasactually' related to something that we were learning about)upside-down by trying to get things done on time or trying main-tain discipline? I hope .not. * • ' . ; . - - -'.-^... .». '

I hope that I haven't robbed a single child of that magicaltwinkle-in the jeyje that-aceompanie* youth apd, curiosity; -I*hope.that my need to maintain order in the classroom has not forcedanyone to grow up faster than they need^tp. I hope, that I haven'tblundered and made" a single*chifd feel cynical! I hope...

I hope that my son's teacher gets to know him and sees hisgreat attributes...his curiosity, his sense of humor, his playful-ness, his enthusiasm for new things, his integrity, his" competi-tiveness, his honesty, his sensitivity, and his goodness.

I hope that my son's teacher is patient when he doesn't under-stand, t

I hope that my son's teacher sees the potential that he has to dogreat things.

I hope that my son's teacher is encouraging.I hope that my son's teacher makes learning fun and exciting.I hope,that my son's teacher knows what he or she is doing!Gosh, now I feel a little nervous about the whole thing. My

boy (yesterday, he was just a little baby) is going to be in yourhands for an entire school day.

Please, treat him like you would want your own child to betreated. Encourage him to work hard, give him a chance to becreative, and please don't be that teacher who makes him notwant to go to school.

Just today he told me that he was excited to become a first-grader. He said he wished school was starting already! He wantsto meet you! You will be a very important person in his life.

I'll make a pact with you, about all of my hopes: Let's try ourvery best to do these things for every student who walks throughour classroom doors.

in the womb was able to walk and speak at age level by the time he was old enough for school - allbecause of early intervention and special education programs. And we hear the horror stories of parentswho must battle the system to claim what is their child's right.

In last week's editorial on the "hidden causes of special education," what seemed important to saywas that, while many cases of special education needs have no known cause, some might have beenprevented if the parents had help. ' .

But it is even more important to call it a shame when parents have to spend so much of their ener-gy fighting for their children's rights to special education. They face challenges enough.

We apologize if any offense was taken, and we salute the Special Education Parent TeacherAssociation for their work supporting and mentoring each other. We invite them to continue to educateus all on what we can do to help. This is not just in their interest but in everybody's interest.

TRIAL BY JURY...Many of us thinkwe know a lot about crime and punish-ment, law and order, and trial by a jury ofour peers because of the large number oftelevision shows and best-sellers whichhave these topics as their themes.

For most of us, however, time spentserving on a jury is a big eye-opener as tothe realities of all of those processes.Recently we received an interesting letterand article from retired Judge Leo MeGinity, a well-known Baldwinite, con-cerning the whole issue of grand juries.

Those of us in this area cringe at thevery words. Grand jury service means areally inconvenient trip to Brooklyn andservice of long duration, usually every 'Friday for what seems like forever.Regular jury duty, however, convenientlyconvened in Garden City, is conductedmore expeditiously with abundant park-ing. ;

In many of the television shows I have .seen and books I have read, one of themost significant plqt devices has fre-quently turned on the information knownby the reader and viewer but not availableto the jury. That is why the article sent byJudge Me Ginity was so interesting. Untilreading it, I was unaware that the fore-man of a grand jury has the right torequest additional information from thedistrict attorney.

Judge Me Ginity's article was moti-vated by his thoughts relevant to theDuke lacrosse case, in which members ofthe lacrosse team are alleged to havecommitted a felony. The judge noted thataccording to New York State law, thosedefendants would have had the right totestify on their own behalf before thegrand jury and possibly raise issues andpresent facts which would cause themembers of the grand jury to question the"facts" of the district attorney.

Judge Me Ginity stressed that if thegrand jury had doubts and wanted to hearadditional testimony and witnesses "thegrand jury may cause to be called as awitness any person believed by it to pos-sess relevant information or knowledgeinvolving the alleged crime. If the grandjury desires to hear any such witnesseswho was not called by the People, it maydirect the district attorney to issue and

serve a subpoena upon such witness andthe district attorney must comply withsuch direction."

This right of the grand jury is a hugedifference from the rights of regularjuries, who must base their decisions onthe information presented by the prosecu-tor and defense attorneys in court andonly on that information. That is why thepublic is often shocked by jury decisions,because from the media, we might knowmore information than the information onwhich a jury bases its decision.

Judge Me Ginity's position seems toindicate that if the defendants in theNorth Carolina case were able to presenttestimony indicating, for example, thatthey had alibi witnesses who couldaccount for their whereabouts at the timeof the alleged crime, then perhaps thatgrand jury would not have indicted them.

His article concludes with the famousquote by former Judge Sol Wachtler whoonce said that a district attorney "couldindict a ham sandwich." Perhaps that istrue, if the sitting grand jury does nothave the right or is not fully aware of itsright to ask for additional informationand witnesses.

The New York State Constitution wasamended in June, 2004 to allow defen-dants to waive their right to a grand jurytrial and for the district attorney to followa process called "felony information."That constitutional change was undoubt-edly prompted by the results of theSimonson v. Cahn case in which the fore-man of the grand jury fought for and wonthe right to to restrain the criminal prose-cution by means of the felony informa-tion process. (Judge Me Ginity represent-ed that foreman).

The subsequent constituional changenoted, "A person held for the action ofthe grand jury upon a charge for a felonyother than one punishable by death or lifeimprisonment, with the consent of thedistrict attorney, may waive indictmentby a grand jury." This process is followedfor many lesser felonies and eliminatesmany of the time-consuming proceduresinvolved in empaneling a grand jury.The cautions noted by Judge StanleyFuld in the Simonson case, however, stillstand, and defendants must be careful

about waiving their right to a grand jury.In the Simonson case, Judge Fuld noted,"an unknowing defendant, even with alawyer at his side, may consider it to (bein) his best interest to waive presentationof evidence to the grand jury, to be triedon an information and plead to it, only todiscover that it was really to his advan-tage to appear himself before the GrandJury...and have witnesses testify and givetheir versions of the facts to the GrandJurors."

Athough the "felony information"process is available and frequently usedin New York State, if a case does gobefore the Grand Jury, the defendant hasthe right to testify and the foreman hasthe right to request additional informa-tion. Judge Me Ginity notes, "A review ofthe facts that have come to light after theindictment of three lacrossse playerscould lead many to infer that the grandjury in Durham under New York lawwould have returned 'no true bill' had thetargeted defendants chosen to avail them-selves of their right to present exculpato-ry evidence and appealed to the curiosityof the grand jury's foreperson."

Today, many people wonder if thewhole concept of trial by jury has becomeoutmoded because of the intense publicscrutiny given to many cases by themedia. Think of the outcome of the O.J.Simpson case. Think now of the Jon-benet Ramsey case. Is it possible today tofind an impartial jury to determine theoutcome of excessively publicizedcases?

How, too, does a defendant guardagainst overzealous prosecution by a dis-trict attorney looking to make a name forhimself, particularly one in the midst of

running for re-election or higher office?The judicial system is corrupted if any

part of that system is corrupted. A mem-ber of the jury who just wants to get itover with or who has ignored the judge'sorder and has read about the case corruptsthe system. A district attorney or witness-es for the prosecution who convenientlyallow certain facts to be withheld or dis-torted corrupt the system. The defenseattorney who knowingly allows a witnessto lie corrupts the system.

Judge Me Ginity's article certainlymakes us think. And so, those of us whoreceive that call to serve on a grand juryin Brooklyn should keep in mind the verybig right that grand juries have versusregular juries. In New York State, grandjuries, through their foreman, have theright to ask for additional information. *

Not too long ago, I read a very inter-esting book by the famous lawyer andnovelist Scott Turow concerning thedeath penalty. He was part of a commis-sion in .the state of Illinois that wascharged with the task of studying thedeath penalty process and making recom-mendations. I would suggest this book beread by anyone who has an interest in thelaw, particularly the portion on overzeal-ous prosecution.

It seems that for too many of us issuesof guilt and innocence as well as evenlife and death have become topics ofentertainment. We thank Judge MeGinity for his comments and insights rel-ative to the rights and duties of membersof the grand jury. Hopefully they willmotivate all of us to think about thisimportant constitutional right and itssubsequent obligations in a more seriouslight.

The project was the brainchild ofBrian Reynolds, who organized theSalty Dog Fishing and Boat BuildingCamp for the eight boys. The group isaffiliated with the Freeport Yacht Club

and the youngsters live in nearby com-munities.

Instructor John Totten inquiredwhether the Freeport RecreationCenter might have a place where theyoungsters could assemble the boatsand was directed to the museum. Thebackroom storage area proved to be theperfect place for nailing, gluing andvarnishing the eight wooden boats.The boys all named their boats. One inparticular stood out, it was christenedthe Black Pearl.

Water... Water.. .Every whereBeautifying Our Community

One Site at a TimeHave you ever noticed how the presence of water has

a natural calming effect on the moods of the people andatmosphere it surrounds? Living on Long Island, we all havethe luxury of enjoying the water front properties that surroundus. The beaches, state parks and town duck ponds all lend tothe natural beauty of our communities.

However, this attraction we -have to the soothingeffects of water is not limited to these public sites. Accordingto Environmental Landscaping & Design, Inc., the premierepond builders of Wantagh, more and more people and busi-nesses are creating their own "natural environments" by hav-ing custom designed water features installed into the land-scapes of their properties. These water features come in theform of ponds, fountains, waterfalls and pondless waterfalls,and Environmental Landscaping & Design, Inc. has beeninstalling them for clients throughout Long Island.

Larry Swanson, the owner and operator ofEnvironmental Landscaping & Design, Inc., says he has seenthe popularity of these features increase tremendously thisyear with both residential, and commercial property owners."People are realizing the many benefits these water featureshave to offer," says Swanson. For the homeowner longing torelieve the stress of the work day, a pond with a cascadingwaterfall is a relaxing retreat in your own backyard. "Manyof our clients truly don't realize how much a water featuretransforms their outdoor living space until they have experi-enced it when the job is complete and then their expectationsare always exceeded".

A peaceful, flowing and living work of art is whatbusiness owners are using to attract our eyes and positivefeelings toward there properties. Pondless waterfalls areserving as landmarks for businesses like Joseph's ServiceStation on Merrick Road in Seaford and EnvironmentalLandscaping & Design, Inc. is beautifying our communityone site at a time.

I also would like to recognize thevolunteerism of one of our own, JamesBrown, for his splendid service as a chefthat evening. He grilled and served food

for hundreds of our residents, all with asmile. Thanks J.B., you're a great ambas-sador for the Freeport NeighborhoodWatch and this village.
