iovernment moves toprotect our water

by Laura Schofer

Our waters will be a bit cleaner| thanks to new legislation that pro-vides funding to help reduce pollu-

I tion and ensure that our waters areI healthy for years to come.

Last month, Senator Hillary| Clinton announced a four-pointplan to protect Long Island beach-

I es, reduce ocean pollution and| clean up the Long Island Sound.

The Clean Coast Act, amongI other things, will provide federal| funding for support of storm waterrunoff remediation projects. The

1 four-point plan also includes theI National Aquatic Invasive SpeciesAct to remove non-native aquatic

plants and animals that threatenLong Island streams and wetlands.

Meanwhile, Governor GeorgePataki signed legislation onAugust 9 that will create a newcouncil to coordinate New Yorkstate efforts to protect the ocean,estuaries and the Great Lakesresources. The governor alsoannounced a $3.3 million appropri-ation for this council.

The U.S. set a new record lastyear of 20,000 beach closings, ofwhich 800 were in New York,alone, according to Lisa Speer,director of the Water and Oceansprogram at the Natural ResourcesDefense Council. "People are get-ting sick and families are stuck

standing on the shore because localcommunities haven't been gettingthe federal support they need to fixoverloaded sewage systems or dealwith contaminated runoff," shesaid in a press release.

Adrienne Esposito, executivedirector of the Citizens Campaignfor the Environment, agrees."Nationally we have seen thehealth of our oceans decline.Locally we have seen the devastat-ing effects of lobster and hard-shellclam die-offs, continuing beachclosings and the disappearance ofimportant species, such as winterflounder. These incidences are con-nected and need to be addressed ina holistic approach-,'' she said.

Hempstead Town remembers 9/11by Kate Murray

Supervisor, Town of Hempstead

The devastating events of September11, 2001 impacted our lives greatlyand forever left a void in our hearts. Inthe midst of this tragedy, we united asa nation and even today, five yearslater we continue to draw upon eachother for support.

On Monday, September 11, 2006,the Town of Hempstead will be hostingan ecumenical service of remembrancefor all Long Islanders. The event, to beheld at Town Park Point Lookout, willinclude a beachfront ceremony intend-ed to provide Long Islanders withcomfort and healing. The gatheringwill begin at 7:30 a.m.

As in years past, the town's 9/11 cer-emony will be set alongside the majes-

tic waters of the Atlantic, a location towhich many came in the wake of theterrorist attacks of five years ago. Afocal point of the ceremony will betwo crystalline towers brilliantly illu-minate from the inside, rising from thewaters of a reflective pool. Guests willbe invited to cast symbolic white car-nations in the pool as part of an inter-active memorial program.

The many Long Islanders who haveattended in the past have found thisceremony to be moving. I hope thatyou can join us on the morning ofSeptember 11 as we seek solace withone another in remembering the heroeswho perished in the terrorist attacks offive years ago. Together we will sharea unique and uplifting experience thatoffers an opportunity for personalreflection and renewal.

What do the numbers'911' say to you?

Almost everyone from the "greatest generation" that livedthrough or served in World War II can remember exactlywhat he or she was doing when the news came of theJapanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It was a life-changing eventfor everyone, and most people heard about it over the radio.

A generation later, when President John F. Kennedy wasassassinated, most people saw the news on television.Everyone living then can remember exactly where he or shewas when the news<came.

For our generation, the numbers "911" that used to meanfirst and foremost the telephone number you call in an emer-gency >will always signify the time and'day of the attack onthe World Trade Center in Manhattan and the Pentagon nearthe nation's capital. Many of us got the word over the cellphone. Often it was a long distance call from someone whogot the word via satellite television before we did.

The attack was a local tragedy and a nation-changingevent. Like Pearl Harbor Day and November 22, the date ofthe Kennedy assassination, it hit us all in the gut, and madeus all want to spring to the defense of our country.: , .

Locally, caring neighbors also jumped to help the victimsand their families, showing all that is best about our commu-nity of caring.

Much has happened in the.years since the attack, but thememories are still raw and make us want to stop a moment toreflect on the tragedy once again.

ARE WE LAW-ABIDING ORAFRAID?...The whole issue of immi-gration, particularly illegal immigra-tion, is complex. These complicationshave escalated in recent years withthreats of terrorism and the need tosecure our borders.

The critical mass of immigrants toour shores and their impact on our cul-ture and economy have also createdconcerns. None of these can be dis-missed or ignored. That having beensaid, it seems as if the tremendousemotional response to the question ofimmigration centers not simply onthose issues but on something more.That something more, we suspect, isfear.

Years ago, during an open schoolnight at Baldwin High School, one ofthe social studies teachers demonstrat-ed how he teaches the topic of preju-dice. He sang the lyrics from the,Rodgers and Hammerstein song,"You've Got To Be Taught," from theplay "South Pacific." He then dis-cussed with students whether preju-dice was, in fact, taught, or whether itwas a trait that all people shared. Butwhether it was taught or intrinsic,what was its root?

The conclusion, he said, after yearsof discussing this topic with young 'people, was that, for the most part,prejudice seems to occur because peo-ple are afraid. The history of immigra-tion bears out that conclusion. Fearand prejudice outstrip acceptancewhen immigrants can no longer be rel-egated only to a place in society whichmeets the needs o*f the establishment.

When our place is threatened, webecome afraid.

As a person living in a diverse com-munity, I am not unaware of some ofthe real problems that result from hav-ing a large number of new immigrantsliving in a town. However, some ofthese problems are not unique toimmigrants but are simply magnifiedwhen the people involved are immi-grants.

For years, illegal occupancy and theillegal changes of buildings have goneon, seemingly-without too many com-plaints from residents. Although per-mits and inspections are required forbuilding modifications, many contrac-tors ignore that legal requirement.

Homeowners and landlords countedon the fact that neighbors would notcomplain to authorities or that author-ities would have only limited legalresources to uncover already-complet-ed internal changes to what shouldhave been single-family homes.

It was only when more and moresingle-family homes became occupiedby large groups of immigrants," someof them seasonal workers, that resi-dents began to speak up. Suddenly, apractice that was already in placebecame a question of legality.

Suddenly, extensive illegal occupan-cy by immigrants who did not stayquietly inside their illegally convertedhouses and apartments became a ques-tion of law.

Economically, illegal practiceswhich were "accepted" also havebecome problematic. How many cashbusinesses have existed for years?

How many homeowners pay cash forhome improvements to avoid taxes?How many of us have gone with thelowest bidder on home repairs, know-ing that the. workers were probablyillegal, per diem, off the books anduninsured? How many of us ever wor-ried that those laborers were notreceiving benefits? How many of. usquestioned if the contractor was pay-ing into Social Security?

Now, as one business after anotheris staffed not only with immigrantworkers but with new immigrant own-ers, we have begun to worry. Now wetalk about law and order.

Perhaps that high school social stud-ies teacher was correct. Throughoutrecorded history, society has func-tioned on a caste system that dependedon a rich class and a poor class.Whether those systems were based onlaw or simply on an "upstairs-down-stairs" mentality, many people todaystill seem to feel that there are certainpeople who should know their placeand stay there. We are afraid whenthey don't.

We say that our grandparents camehere legally, little understanding thatmost of the laws on the books nowregarding immigration didn't existback then. We say that illegal occu-pancy didn't exist then, not realizingthat most zoning codes and regulationsdidn't begin in our area until the1930s. We agree that America was theland of opportunity, but we worry nowthat there's just so much opportunityto go around.

Immigration in general and illegal

immigration in particular will not bean easy problems to discuss nor willthe problems be easy ones to solve.Certainly, no progress will be madewhile the subject is grist for the politi-cal mill. Most especially, the problemwill not be solved if the home coun-tries of our immigrants continue toremain so poor and dangerous.

Immigraton cannot be premised onthe belief that some people have aright to freedom and justice, and somedo not. Comprehensive immigrationreform^must include a way to legalizethe temporary workers we need and tocreate a legal path to citizenship forthose, like our ancestors, who want tolive in our country. We must under-stand that most immigrants do want topursue citizenship but the present sys-tem is unwieldly, disorganized and, intoo many cases arbitrary.

Like it or not, we have become aninterconnected global village and wecannot simply cherry-pick all the pos-itives for ourselves while leaving thedregs for everyone else. Illegal immi-gration is an attempt by those who suf-fer to try to level an unjust and unlev-el playing field. It is no wonder thatwe are afraid of what that process willmean for those who have enjoyed thebenefits of that inequity for so long.

It continues to be a tribute toAmerica that our country is stillviewed by .immigrants as a beacon ofhope. We must find a way to makeimmigration reform work, for thoseseeking a better future and for thosewhose: concerns are based on realfears. *

Baldwin schools welcome staffBy Joan Delaney

"How do you deal with all the new-ness?" Baldwin's Superintendent ofSchools Robert Britto asked the dis-trict's new staff at the orientation lunch-eon held on August 30.

Answering his own question, henoted, "The myth of one person doing itall is just that - a myth."

The luncheon, part of the district'sthree day orientation for new staff, high-lighted the importance of developingrelationships with peers and with thevarious levels of professional colleagueswhose help and knowledge are neces-sary for success.

This year, the district's new profes-

sional staff will include 24 teachers,three administrators, one supervisor, andtwo nurses. A half time nurse's positionis yet to be filled.The brief resumes usedto introduce the newcomers made itclear that the group is a mixture ofteachers new to the profession andteachers with a great deal of experiencewho are simply new to the district.

Director of Music and Fine Arts PeterFreeman spoke of the district's new bandinstructor, who drove 10 hours fromOhio for her 15-minute initial interview.Several teachers have come to Baldwinafter a variety of positions outside ofteaching. As administrators outlined theresumes of the new staff, it was clear thatpersonal experiences, interests and tal-

Brunch and book reviews continueBy Joan Delaney

"We select books that reflect a varietyof human interests. The topics vary butwe like to bring to our readers an aware-ness of social problems in the worldthrough the books we select."

So noted Fran Lerner, past presidentof the Sisterhood at Congregation B'nAiIsrael in Freeport and the present coor-dinator of the brunch and book programwhich discusses three to four books ayear.

On September 17, they will hostingauthor Talia Garner who will speakabout her newest novel, "China Doll."The story revolves around an Americanpop icon who has. a baby girl thrust inher arms when she is touring in main-land China.

The author Jessaynyn West once said,"Fiction reveals truth that realityobscures." In the case of "China Doll,"the novel will provide a fast-moving tale

which reflects extremely disturbinginformation learned by Ms. Garnerthrough numerous interviews with StateDepartment and other government offi-cials as well as from her participation atthe 1995 International Women'sConference in Beijing.

In her travels and through her discus-sions with Chinese women, Ms. Garner"learned how, generation after genera-tion, due to either lingering starvation,the social experiment of the CulturalRevolution, or the current sacrificeunder the one-child policy, [women]have been losing their baby girlsthrough coercion, prejudice, neglect andoutright murder."

The novel is due for general releaseon August 31, but everyone is invited tomeet the author, whether or not theyhave already read the book. The pro-gram will begin at 11:30 a.m. B'nAiIsrael is located at 91 North Bay viewAvenue in Freeport.

ents would also play a big role in the typeof teacher that students will see. "Greateropportunity" was noted as a motivatingfactor for coming to Baldwin by one spe-cial education teacher who has 13 yearsof experience in the specialty.

The informal luncheon provided anopportunity to introduce staff to themany "systems" that exist within ateaching/learning community. Board ofEducation President Mary Jo O'Hagan,referring to student speeches during lastJune's graduation, noted that all thespeakers referred to the many types ofcommunity service performed by theClass of 2006.

She stressed that the educationalprocess in Baldwin is not simply aboutacademics but is also a process that"encourages students to be good peo-ple," and said that every member of thestaff can model'good behavior.

Mary Fallica, president of theBaldwin Teachers Association, focusedon the three goals of the professionalunion. The first is to negotiate andadminister a contract which shedescribed as a "living document" whichoutHnes both "rights and responsi-bililites." The second goal is to promoteprofessional growth and the third is tofacilitate both a social and civic connec-

tion.That social connection was most evi-

dent in the laughter and camaraderie thatwere part of the introductions providedby building principals and directors, aswell as by Linda Kellner, representingthe Association of BaldwinAdministrators, Bernadatte Lare, presi-dent of the Baldwin SupervisorsAssociation, and Ronna Ross, presidentof the Baldwin Council of PTAs.

Mrs. Ross noted that teaching is a"talent, a skill, and a gift" and stressedthat everyone was united in a commoncause, children. Ms. Kellner said,"Many things c'an wait; children can-not."

Concluding the luncheon, NjongAbang, president of the Class of 2006-07, whose parents are both teachers,pointed out that teachers give both"opportunity and advice." Commentingon the plentitude of advice a high schoolsenior receives, she said, "I'd ratherhave too much than too little."

Looking at her "with pride after herwell-presented comments and clearlyviewing her as a symbol of the highquality of Baldwin education, Dr.Britto pointed to this year's class presi-dent, smiled -and said, "Our reason forbeing."

Governments move to protect our watersfrom page 1

New York Ocean and Great Lakesecosystem Conservation Act

The state has responded to this crisisby shifting their ocean policy to a morecomprehensive, ecosystem-basedapproach, rather than focusing on a par-ticular species or problem. The legisla-tion, called the New York Ocean andGreat Lakes Ecosystem ConservationAct, requires that a nine member councilbe formed to ensure interagency cooper-ation and be able to comprehensivelyanalyze any weaknesses or gaps wheremore information is needed. The statewill also launch two pilot projects, onein the Great South Bay and the other inLake Ontario.

The council is charged with helping todevelop and implement strategies toaddress the challenges facing ourwaters. They will focus on a broad rangeof issues, including the ecology ofmarine habitats as well as examining theimportance of the water for recreation,fishing and other industries.

"From a marine perspective, this leg-islation is very important," said JeffreyFullmer, director of the South ShoreEstuary Reserve. "The idea behind the

legislation is to create a way to connectal the dots. Instead of looking at theecosystem by a species by species basis,they will be able to show how all livingresources depend on each other."

Federal legislation proposed to saveour shores

A federal program called, ."Save ourShores," is being sponsored by SenatorHilaryClinton.lt will provide $1.5 bil-lion over a period of five years to theUS. Environmental Protection Agencyprogram to help communities in NewYork and across the country to attack thecoastal water quality problems. Theseproblems include combined sewer over-flows, polluted storm water and pollu-tion from "non-point" sources such asfertilizer and pesticides from lawns..

Under the Clean Coast act, fundingwould be available to states, localitiesand non-profit organizations through agrant program for projects that couldinclude fixing sewer and storm watersystems to reduce pollution; restore wet-lands that filter water as it flows fromland to streams, estuaries and the ocean;and implement watershed protectionplans designed to reduce erosion or pol-lution from non-point sources.

The four-point plan also includes theNational Aquative Invasive Species Act,

a bill that addresses the threats posed byharmful, non-native aquatic plants and.animals, common reeds and other inva-sive plants found in Long Island streamsand wetlands.

The bill would also require commer-cial shops to treat ballast water to elimi-nate invasive species; a program to banthe import of harmful aquatic species intrade; funding to support state programto control invasive species and the cre-ation of "rapid response" teams toremove invasive species that are newlyestablished. The bill would provide$800 million in funding over five years.

Not all is bleakOur waters are cleaner as indicated by

the return of wildlife that was once verycommon in our harbors and inshorewaters 60 to 100 years ago, according tothe New York Wildlife ConservationSociety. Harbor porpoise, dolphins andeven a few manatee have been seen inour waters. But the most common mam-mal spotted along our shores is the seal.The New York Wildlife ConservationSociety have records of rookeries of upto 2,000 seals on some "small islands,along Long Island," reads their pressrelease.

In Freeport seals have become a morecommon sight.

In closingNew York state is the second largest

coastal state in the nation, with morethan 3,200 miles of ocean, tidal andGreat Lakes coastline, according to theGovernor's office. Approximately 80percent of New Yorkers live in thestate's 26 coastal counties.

The state's coastal areas, rivers, lakesand estuaries feature more than 800 pub-lic beaches, parks and recreational sitesand more than 700 miles of scenebyways.

"Our coastline plays a critical role inour daily lives," said Governor Pataki ina press release, "and we must be vigi-lant in our efforts to protect and restorethese vital resources."

Carolyn McCarthy remembers 9/11

Hi*<u•o

by Congresswoman CarolynMcCarthy

This week wil l mark the fifthanniversary of September 11, 2001.None of us will ever forget where wewere that day or how our nation unit-ed in grief in the days and weeks fol- •lowing that great tragedy.

In the weeks following 9/11, we alldemonstrated the best of America.Thousands volunteered to help withthe rescue and recovery efforts.Scores more donated money, gaveblood, and took time to help peopleaffected "by the attacks. Millionsprayed for the families who lost lovedones. Thousands enlisted in the mili-

tary to serve our nation in the War onTerror. It'was a remarkable time, peo-ple from all walks of life stood togeth-er with a renewed sense of purposeand compassion. Millions ofAmericans took the time and effort tohelp people they would never meet. Itwas because of these acts that ournation's wounds began to heal.

On this anniversary of September11, 2001, let's not only rememberthose we lost, but also remember howwe were came together to help getAmerica through perhaps the mostdifficult days in its histo y. Let'sremember the firefighters and policeofficers who ascended the stairs of theburning World Trade Center to save

others. Let's remember the rescueworkers who spent days diggingthrough the ruins of Lower Manhattanin hopes of finding survivors. Let'sremember the heroism of the bravemen and women who have put theircountry before themselves inAfghanistan and Iraq. And let'sremember all those who gave a littleof themselves after 9/11 to help someof their fellow Americans perseverethrough an unimaginable time.

On September 11, 2001, our heartswere, broken but our spirit grewstronger. On September 11, 2006, letus renew our commitment to makingAmerica a better place. Thank you,'and may God bless America.

All that is necessaryfor the triumph of evilis for good men to do

nothing.
