After the heavy fog cleared, the morningturned into one just like that "beautiful late sum-mer morning," in the words of Mayor William F.Glacken. Exactly a year ago, September 11became an infamous date in our history, and by8:15 am Wednesday morning the Village HallCourtyard was filled with Freeport leaders andresidents there to pay their respects and say thankyou to those who gave their lives:

Mayor William F. Glacken presided over theservice, which paused for moments of silence at8:46 and 9:03 a.m., the times the first and secondplanes hit the World Trade Center. The heroes of9/11 "ennobled themselves to the people theyrescued that day with their acts of self-sacrifice,"he said, "I think if they were here they wouldhave said 'We have to carry on, we have to liveour lives,' and the best tribute we can give is todo what they would have asked us to had theybeen here."

Natalya Thomas sang the poignant "StarSpangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful."Reverend Eddie Jusino led the convocation.When asked what good we as a community cantake from this experience, Reverend EddieJusino explained, "Even in the midst of chaos wecan find grace."

RITUAL ...We need ri tual . No matterhow casual or irreverent we are duringordinary times, no matter how much wepush the envelope wi th close to inappro-priate behavior, we seem to recognizethat certain occasions are sacred.

Such was the anniversary ofSeptember 1 1 . In speaking to organizersof several of Baldwin's remembranceevents, I sensed some concerns on theirpart as to whet.her or not many residentswould attend. After all, many people hadto go to work while some would beoverwhelmed by the emotional overloadof the day. The organizers needn't haveworried.

At 8:45 a.m.. Silver Lake Park wasfi l led with hundreds of communi tymembers who stood quietly in the clearmorning sun as winds whipped aroundthem. It has been said that we are moreaware of the presence of God in holyplaces and for Baldwiniles that morning,Silver Lake Park became a holy place.

The ceremony was brief, just over onehalf hour, but the impact was dramaticand set (he reverent tone for the day.

Darlene Brunetta,holding her five-week-old son, noted,"It was very important to me to be here.My brother is a cop in the city. I remem-ber the fear we felt that day." CathyHarris, a retired Verizon employee whoworked in the World Trade Center butwas home that day. said that she felt"surreal," as she awaited the ceremonyof remembrance to begin. "We lost threeworkers," she said as her eyes narrowedin thought. Former Baldwinite FlorenceLevenbaum, a friend of Joel Miller whodied in the World Trade Center, noted, "I

The ceremony moved rapidly, withthe clergy offering scriptural readingsand prayers calling for faith and hope,solace and peace. After a welcome byPastor Kimberly Wilson. President ofthe Baldwin Interfai th ClergyFellowship, Pastor Fred Boughton notedthat the ceremony was a lime (o remem-

Baldwin marks anniversary of September 11 at Silver Lakefrom page 5

the immediate evidence against it."Led by the Rev. Mark Greiner. the

community read the "Prayer for Peace,"attributed to St. Francis which asks."Lord, make me an instrument of ThyPeace."

But the most moving moment occuredas Monsignor John Bennett read aloud

just writo

from page 5

Throughout Baldwin some churcheswere open for people to pray and manyreligious institutions held their own cer-emonies that night. In the evening, TheBaldwin Chamber of Commerce andBaldwin Community Association'sCandlelight Vigil began just as the sunwas beginning to set at 7:30 p.m.

By that time, many people hadalready had a full day of anniversaryevents. A great number of people hadstayed home from work and watchedtelevsion. Still others spoke of listeningto the radio as they went about theirerrands and activities during the longtwo and a half hours when the names ofthose who died at the World TradeCenter were read.

Young children seemed eager to holdlighted candles and later place them inrows along Sunrise Highway. Peoplewanted to sing, wanted to participate,and didn't want the program to end.

When events of large significancehappen, we need some way to markthem and to deal with them, a way thatis more profound than our normal wayof functioning. That is why we havewedding ceremonies because we recog-nize that the marriage commitment ismore than simply two names on a legalcertificate. That is why we play theemotional "Pomp and Circumstance" atgraduations, because the day representsmore than simply the accumulation ofsufficient academic credits. And that iswhy we have funerals, not simply tomark closure, but to recognize theabsolute uniqueness and dignity of eachand every life.

And that is why the terror ofSeptember 11 was so awful. In itsviciousness it attempted to snuff outthose "intimations of immortality" thatthe poets speak of, the specialness ofeach and every one of us and of ourcountry. That is why it did not matterthis year if it was a small simple cere-mony in Baldwin or a larger, more elab-orate occasion at the Pentagon, inShanksville, Pennsylvania or in NewYork City. We all took the time to readeach and every, name. The rituals mat-tered.

Our rituals help us to understand thatno matter what we do in this world, ourlives have meaning beyond our accom-plishments and our hearts and mindsand souls can be connected in waysbeyond the physical and beyond evenour conscious awareness.

At both the morning. InterfaithCeremony and the evening CandlelightVigil we all said, "We remember." Therituals we came to share helped us toremember, not only as individuals but asa community. Together, Baldwinremembered. On September 11, our ril-uals helped to make Baldwin a sacredplace.

the names of Baldwinites who died asthe Symphonic Band and Concert Choirsoftly began the strains of the "Hymn tothe Fallen." Residents replied. "Weremember." Gradually, as the litany ofthe names ended, the music soaredthrough the clear blue skies, f inally end-ing with a profound silence amid acrowd that had heads bowed or eyes

filled with tears.Later, after residents raised their own

voices singing. "America the Beautiful."Reverends Carlos and Marilii Sorlo. inboth Spanish and English, prayed, ask-ing. "May the Lord shine his face uponyou." The ceremony concluded with thehaunting notes of "Taps" played by stu-dent musicians Christine Gregory and

John Me//ina Hannigan.Pastor Wilson thanked residents Tor

their attendance, adding that they should"Go in Peace." Quiet ly people greetedfriends anil walked slowly from lliepark, some to go to work: others to gohome on lite this first anniversary ofSeptember I I . the day that foreverchanged America.

I want to yellI want to cryWhat lo doBut ask why, why why

I never hurt youbut you hurt meI don't know youYou don't know me

Your beliefs may be differentWe might not agreeBut how could you do thisto all humanity

We are all human beingsWe live on this EarthWe all started lifeThe day of our birth

What makes you hateWhat makes you burnWho taught you thisHow did you learn

Did I hurt your fatherDid I insult your motherDid I k i l l your sisterDid I murder your brother

in remembrance of September 11You arc the oneWho did these deedsYou ended their livesYou buried their seeds-

What made you do thisWhere do you standDo you want my moneyDo you want my land

If your children are hungryYou only need to askBy working togetherWe can fu l f i l l this task

By working togetherWe can healThe hatred among usThat we all feel

The people in AmericaWant to even the scoreBut all of us sufferIn a meaningless war

Peace is the answerThe reason is clearBut we must have trustAnd get rid of the fear

It is hard to forgive youFor what you have doneBut it has to start somewhereI am number one

But I'm just a manWho means nothing to youGod's the one to tell youYour payment is due

(MUSIC I F/LM \CVLTVKE\POETRVAThe alarm clock rang as he got

out of bed. put on his clothes, andkissed his wife's head: He said."I'll see you in the morning.whenI'm done with my shift" andtoward the front door he began todrift.

The firefighter started everyevening this way leaving hishome before dinner each day:Returning the next morning, a lit-tle before ten just to sleep untilnine and start it again.

He arrived at the station andworked unt i l dawn and finallypunched out at eight in the morn-ing; Just as he packed all histhings to go home, a cry for helpcame over the intercom phone.

"Planes have hit the WorldTrade Center." he heard the mansay. "We need assistance now.

there's no time to wait:" Withouteven thinking, he dropped hisbags down, got back into his gear,and then headed out.

Although he was off duty, andsupposed to go home he knew thiswas his job and he couldn't leaveit alone: So he hopped on thetruck, and started for the towersexpecting to be home in four orfive hours.

As one of the first trucks toarrive, he was immediately sent into rescue the people that weretrapped within; The Trade Centerstill stood, with smoke streamingout "Please help us over here." heheard people shout.

So into the building he ran withhis crew and every other secondthe cloud of smoke grew: Butinstead of running down, out, and

away, this firefighter knew it washis job to stay.

He made his way up. withoutlooking back and thought aboutthis surprising attack: This washis city and he knew he had tofight to the very last moment, foreveryone's right.

The smoke was-getting darker,the room gelling hot. He wondersto himself just how much timehe's got: Debris began to fall, hedidn't have much longer - his legswere feeling weak, his heart waspounding stronger.

His sight was dimmer, hisbreath was short the weight of hisbody was too much to support: Hecouldn't keep going, as his feetfell like lead and visions of hislife danced through his head.

He thought of his childhood

and all of his friends, he thoughtof his family He'd never see again:He thought of his children, hisfather and mother, his mind kepiskipping from one to Ihe other.

He though! of his brothers andsisters: He thought of his wife,and how much he would miss her:He thought of what he wouldhave wanted to say if he knewthat he would he dying today.

Words coukln'l explain whalwas going through his mind and asafe, warm place is what he waslonging to find: His body wasshaking, it fell si iff and lighl. andeventua l ly all the dark cloudsshinetl bright.

He closed his eyes and clutchedhis hands and began to say his onelast prayer:

By Linda Hciulrickson

Awe anil ama/.ement al the si/e ofFreeport High School with the new additionadded to the usual student excitement ofreturning lo school on September 5. SeveralFreeport High School scholars, however,came hack having experienced a once in alifetime academic adventure during their"summer vacation."

Javier Smith first heard about TheMinority Introduction to Engineering,lintrcpreneurship. and Science Program(MITI'S) when TheLeader published an" A c a d e m i cAdventures" articleabout Martin Lyttle'sexperience there lastyear. After securing anapplication andbrochure, he complet-ed the necessarypaperwork and thenput his fate in thehands of the U.SMailmen. 'There wasno harm, in trying,"re Heeled Smith.

That was the begin-ning of his MITadventure inC a m b r i d g e ,M a s s a c h u s e 11 s .Classes began June 19and finished onAugust 3. The motto MIT students adoptedwas "Work hard: play hard." "We wereexpected lo learn lo apply our knowledgeand creativity lo form innovative ideas andput them to work. We were expected lo silthrough long lectures and at the same lime,

we were expected to have fun. It soundedlike a balancing act that might be difficult loachieve."

There were 6.1 students participating" inthe program which was free to everyone.The only cost was Ihe price of transportationfrom home to MIT and hack. The diversityof students was incredible. "We had severalNative Americans, a Hawaiian, an Eskimo,African-Americans from Alabama andChicago. Nigerians. Puerto Ricans and firstand second-generation Latino Americans.Some students went lo the best private

schools in the eastwhile others camefrom inner-cily schoolsin Los Angeles. Somestudents came fromlarge urban centers likeBoston. New York andChicago while somewcnl lo schools wilh atotal enrollment of2(X).

Students weregiven a choice ofEnlrepreneurshipclass, EntrePrep, andiwo weeks of Roboticsor three weeks ofInternet Programmingand MechanicalEngineering Designalong wilh calculus,

Javier Smith physics, bioehem, andhumanities. Classes

started al 9:00 a.m. and ended at 4:30 p.m."The lab courses had final projects.

EntrePrep had us use what we learned aboutentrepreneurship to create a new product orservice that would help certain people andtheir families achieve greater freedom and

independence and Ihen create a whole busi-ness proposal for a company that we couldstart. My group had to create something forthe elderly. Al first, we were glad since thaiseemed like an easy topic. But MITES con-stantly proved us wrong and taught us weshould always look more carefully at thingsbefore making judgements. Finally we wereable to pull il off successfully. Al the end ofthe program, my group was singled out forbeing the group with the hardest topic withthe most obstacles."

"The Internel Programming class had to

create an educational website. As a testi-mony to using creativity lo solve problems,a group killed two birds with one stone. Inbiochemistry class we had lo memorize Ihe20 amino acids. This one group created a

. web site that used a Hash card-type stem thatwould quiz the user. The robotics competi-tion was a soccer Shootout. Of all the weeks,week 3 was the toughest with the EnlrePrepand Internet Programming competitions duejust before our midterms and recitations."

That's one of the miracles of the noninvasive surgical instrument called theGamma Knife. It uses gamma rays to destroy tumors and blood vessel abnormalitiesdeep within the brain, with minimal risk to surrounding normal tissue. Patients witharterial venous malformations, acoustic neuroma, meningioma and othermalignant tumors, metastasis, glial, trigeminal neuralgia, Parkinson's diseaseand epilepsy are potentially ideal candidates for treatment, usually on anoutpatient basis. The Gamma Knife brings increased safety, effectivenessand a short, painless recovery time to brain surgery. Perhaps, most of all,if you have a brain tumor that's been diagnosed as inoperable, it brings hope.

Introducing the knifethat's not a knife.The Gamma Knifeat South Nassau.It lets you returnto your life the dayafter brain surgery.

Inmer Hernandez and Wilher Cruz-Salinas led the Freeport Red Devils to a 3-2 win over MacArthur in the season socceropener. Hernandez scored first on a crossfrom Adrian Pallaz.o. Then Jorge Perezcrossed to Cruz-Salinas setting up anexceptionally crisp second goal. Inmerscored the winning goal off a pass fromAdemar Gonzalez-Rodas. David Ortiz con-trolled the defense at sweeper while GabrielPosse, Walter Guiterrez, Carolos Martinezand John De Jesus played terrific defense.

The Red Devils then played to a 0-0 tieagainst the Oceanside Sailors. "Shuttingout the opposition at keeper was JoaquinViedma. Controlling the defense at sweep-er, Ortiz once again did a super job."reflected Coach Alan Andersen. "We're offto a good start."

The Girls Tennis Team shut out theValley Stream Central Eagles 7-0 in theirseason opener. Doubles LaurenTriplett/Adriana Rivera, Whitney Lee/IfeBlissett, Shu Zhen Cheii/Elise Franciscoand Cassie Brisson/Lauren Aiken all wonin straight sets. In all four matches, good netplay allowed the Lady Devils to soar abovethe Eagles.

First singles Samantha Sepulvedaslugged her way to a 7-5, 6-3 win. Strong,carefully placed ground strokes'set the paceduring the first set. Second singles ShanonMorris dominated her 6-0, 6-0 match.Varying her strokes and the pace of hergame allowed Morris to dominate thematch.

Starting in her first match for the LadyDevils, newcomer Lynzi McHenry looked

impressive in the third singles position.After getting a handle on her first setnerves, Me Henry outplayed her opponentin the 4-6. 6-2. 6-3 three-set match. TheLady Devils play three matches in the nextfour school days.

Last year the Swim Team had an 8-4-1record, won the Nassau CountySportsmanship Award, as well as the NewYork Stale Scholar/Athlete Team Award.Hard work and dedication will be the keyingredients for a repeat performance.

"Co-captains Soraya Escobar and KimWilson along with Gillian Shea are return-ing members of the school record-setting200 freestyle relay team and should lead (heteam in the 50. 100, 200. and 500 freeevents as well as the 100 breast stroke,"commented Coach Comiac Molloy.

Wilson, Shea and Samantha Geraci-Yeeearned All Conference honors last year andhope to repeat or better thai achievementthis season. Sophomore Meaghan Leonardis a key veteran and should be an importantscorer in ihe 100 back stroke.

The 2002-2003 season will be a rebuild-ing one for the TV Cheerleaders. AmandaDavis, Britlney Barrow, Deneen Dismore.Janet Ortega and Janet Smaih have beenselling high standards for their teammatesand showing true leadership.

Academic adventures at MITfrom page 12

'There were always teacher assistantswho were patient and willing to help. Theywere mostly MITES' alumni who wanted togive to us what they got from the programfive years earlier."

We were given seminars on different top-ics. Financial aid and admissions officers, aswell as representatives of the differentdepartments at MIT, spoke to us. We alsohad career-oriented seminars with profes-sors and professionals from ihe differentfields of engineering. Karl Reid spoke earlyon about what we would have to do to suc-ceed in the program, and more than that, incollege and beyond. He stressed that wemust be able lo adjusl our strategy if werealize our current one no longer works. Thebest results always come from effectiveeffort which includes going into situationswith confidence and seeking help when weneed it. His philosophy was that "smart" issomething anyone can become as long aseffective effort is put in.

We went on tours of research facilitiessuch as the Whitehead Institute ForGenomic Research, the Plasma FusionCenter, and the Artificial Intelligence Lab.We visited the MIT Museum and had

opportunities for other visits such as a bio-chemistry lab and a wind tunnel. We wereencouraged to seek out people and discoverthe great amount of resources MIT has tooffer.

We had a compelilion wilh the incomingMIT freshmen who were in another pro-gram, Interphase. (Martin Lytlle was inInierphase this year.) We beat them at bas-ketball and volleyball but lied them in soc-cer. One weekend we look a irip to Martha'sVineyard. The last night we had an awardsbanquet, wilh a lalent show and dinner. Thatnight, at most, ten people slept. We alltalked and just hung out, wailing for ihe firslpeople lo start leaving. Just like that, the sixweeks were over. There were a lot of tearyeyes."

"Javier Smith was one of the brighleslstudents I've had in the last ten years," com-mented Global Hislory teacher LindaHendrickson." He will be gradualing in thetop 10 of ihis year's senior class.

Bayview Avenue memorial service heldby Mark Treske

The 9/11 monument on BayviewAvenue, across from the Bayview HoseCompany 3 firehouse. is a t ru ly a "peo-ple's memorial." a simple wood struc-ture, i l is f i l led wi th objects placed bycommuni ty members - photos of Ihelost, candles, flags, religious symbols,porcelain fire f igu r ines , even glass

angels. It was in this spirit that the peo-ple gathered before the memorial on theblustery evening of September 11 to paytheir respects to the vic t ims of the"Attack on America."

Kathleen Monestere. one of the com-m u n i t y members behind the memorial,led the ceremonies. After presentation ofthe colors by Hose 3's Color Guard, thechildren gathered were brought forward

lo lead the pledge, followed by "GodBless America'' and. later, "America theBeautiful."

In her invocat ion and openingremarks, Mrs. Monestere described thepurpose of the monument and ceremonyas br inging people together, g iv ing them,peace and helping all of us come to gripswith what happened a year ago. In wish-ing for comfort for the survivors and forthe nation, she urged the onlookers tomourn, but not to hale - or else the ter-rorists will win.

Laureen Parry than came forward toread a very moving poem writ ten byMary Kate Muldowney, niece of fire-fighter Richard Muldowney of FDNYLadder 7. one of Freeport's victims ofthe WTC attack ("Tell my brothers I ' l lbe their shield/tell my sisters their

wounds I ' l l heal. I died a hero on 9-11and became your angel in heaven.") Abell than lolled as the names ofFreeporl's v ic t ims were read, followedby the solemn tones of "Taps." playedby Richard Tucker.

In her closing remarks. Mrs.Monestere thanked all involved in theceremony, as well as all those who havesupported the monument, even thosewho .have honked their horns inapproval as they passed. This specialpiece of ground is a place to mourn, orto hug - "to find a friend." as she put i t ."The People's Monument" is a shiningexample of how people can join togeth-er to withstand even something as hor-rific as the WTC attacks - how thistragedy can belter our communi ty andour nation.
