Work is underway removing the PCB-contaminated -soils from the Power Plant2 site, according-tb information releasedby the village last week.

Based on more than 500 soil samples,the remediation plan was Finalized incontinuing consultation between the vil-lage Electric Department, stateDepartment of . EnvironmentalConservation (NYSDEC) and U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) Region II officials. The soil man-agement plan requires' spil' 't6' beremoved, temporarily stockpiled;"1 and

In tKe last week, a concrete contain-ment structure was installed as part ofthe remediation project. Typical reme-diatio'n 'projects use a plastic liner totemporarily contain stockpiled soils.However, the village elected to utilize aconcrete containment comprising con-crete foundation and sidewalls. Theconcrete system is more durable, willwithstand heavy equipment used tomove soils on and off. the containment ,

.system, and will better retain the soils

are'being used tovensure e"xpediteil serv-ice. - After "IhV laboratory" results arereceived,1 "'the' soil's 'are '-transported byDEC-authorized transporters for dispos-al at DEC-authorized facilities.

All soil shipments are documented,identifying the load, laboratory results,transporter and destination facility. Soilsmeeting state and. federal "hazardous"criteria are shipped with tracking mani-fests,' subject to'State and'federal haz-ardous waste regulations. • • •

Part IIWork began on September 9 to remove

the PCB-coiilaminaled soils at PowerPlant 2. On September 3 a legislative hear-ing was held before slate's Department ofEnvironmental Conservation (DEC)Administrative Law Judge MollyMcBride. The hearing, requested by theVillage of Freeport concerns the DEC'sintention to modify the Title V Air Permitof the Village of Freeporl Power Plant 2.

Mr. Hubert Bianco, Superintendent 'ofFreeport Electric, in his pre-llled directtestimony, slated that he was aware (ifPCB contamination at Power Plant 2 as farback as in 1992-1993. Power Plant 2 isconstructed on the site of an old municipallandfill closed in the 1950s.

Polychlorinaled byphenyls (PCBs) are amixture of individual chemicals which areno longer produced in the United Stalesbut are still found in the environment.According to a report issued by the U.S.Department of Health and HumanServices, Public Health Service Agencyfor Toxic Substances and DiseaseRegistry, "Health effects that have beenassociated with exposure lo PCBs includeacne-like skin condition in adults and neii-robehavioral and immunolqgical changesin children. PCBs are known to cause can-

cer in animals."'The report also stales lhal-'.'PCBs do nol

readily break down in (he environmentand thus may remain there for very longperiods of lime. PCBs can travel long dis-tances in the air and be deposited in areasfar away from where Ihey were released.In water, a small amount of PCBs mayremain dissolved but most stick lo organicparticles and boltom sedimenls. PCBs alsobind strongly to soil." • .

"That | initial 1 investigation revealed rel-atively low levels of PCB,"' said' Mr.Bianco in his pre-trial testimony."Basically.'lhe approved remediation pro-vided was lor placing two feel of clean 111!at the site. The DEC also required ihe sub-mission of a soil management plan iffuture construction aclivilies were under-taken at the site that would disturb subsur-face soils," said Mr. Bianco in his testimo-ny-

Guest EditorialFreeport Electric prepares

for Hurricane Isabel*.From Freeport Electric

With Blackout 2003 just behind the Village, the ElectricDepartment has been in a heightened state of preparations forHurricane Isabel. In addition- to-routine annual training and contin-gency plans, the ut i l i ty has been organizing significant supplemen-tal emergency measures. • - • ' • '

Each year in anticipation of the fall hurricane season; theFreeporl Electric Department conducts training for survey teams.This annual training was completed in August to (re)train depart-ment staff for survey and inspection of the distribution lines to'identify problem areas during storms. In addition, the ElectricDepartment leased.additional equipment that might be necessary torepair or replace damaged ut i l i ty poles. The Department arrangesthis annual rental, as the phone company, which routinely provideslabor and equipment support pole replacements, may have difficul-ty providing that support in a severe storm.

With news of Isabel's path and Strength, Freeport Electric hasimplemented specific preparations, and established specific contin-gency plans for staff and materials. The Electric Department staffhas completed a survey of all u t i l i ty facilities, located and removedor anchored loose equipment. All generating equipment has beeninspected for readiness. The utili ty has brought in extra materials,distribution wire, and diesel fuel to support immediate operationsand repairs.

. Additional Village Electric Department personnel have beenscheduled to maintain the Village diesel units, and to perform elec-tric and mechanical work, as well as survey of the distribution sys-tem. Emergency food and supplies are being stockpiled to supportthe utility workers working through or following the storm event.Extra toolboxes have been set up for repair teams.

Freeport Electric has contacted other municipal utilities in thestate and region to arrange for extra manpower from outside thestorm-affected region. Arrangements are being made with localhotels for Housing those outside support personnel.

•• As the Village experienced in the August blackout, it may be nec-essary to operate the Power Plant 2 diesel units if dispatched byLIPA, or in the event that LIRA service to the Village is lost.

LIPA has projected that service restoration following a hurricanemay take an extended number of days. During the August 2003blackout, LIPA service was restored to Freeport after 30 hours, dur-ing which time the Village relied on electricity - only its own gen-erating units at Power Plants I and 2.

TRUE. THEN AND NOW I hap-pened to he looking over a copy of TheLeader from January. 1987, jusl beforethat year's village elections.

In the "Round-About with Rhoda" col-umn which was written every week bymanaging editor and co-owner RhodaKeller, there was a comment regarding theresponsibilities of reporting during volatilepolitical limes.

She described the periods that are hecticfor certain businesses - betweenThanksgiving and Christmas for retailbusinesses and summertime for hotels andresorts. She then added:

"...but for me, 1 lose my most sleep thetwo months before a village election. Notthai I don't enjoy it...I do, even my owncomplaining. There are benefits and thereare, on the other hand, disadvantages. It'snice to know people are hanging on myevery word; but it's difficult to work or towrite when you have to worry that a mis-placed comma does not just made an awk-ward sentence, hul changes the meaning ofa candidate's whole platform: So bear withus anil remember thai everyone at TheLeader is trying his and her best to bringyou full pre-election coverage."

Those of us who worked with Rhcxlaknow well her intense interest and delightin things political. Those of us still writingalso know that if Rhoda's words were Irue

then, they are even truer now. Although weare not approaching village elections, weare now beginning the coverage for regularNovember elections, a time of headachesnot only for the politicians but for those ofus who cover them and the issues.

In some ways, community papers havean even greater burden than do the largedaily papers, which have seemingly unlim-ited resources and tremendous access lo"candidates. Local papers musl sland in lineas we iry lo galher the kind of informationlhal our readers need to make informeddecisions.

Il is not necessary for us to replicate thegeneral information or the "spin" lhal fillsdaily papers and broadcasls. For us, theissues are more specific, and residents ofour communities want lo know how anclecled official, particularly al the town orcounty level (and in March at the villagelevel), will deal wilh those local problemslhal impacl residents most directly.

When reporters from The Leader attendlocal meetings, it is iheir job to accuratelyreport wlial happens. Il is not ethical forthem to filler out Ihe disagreements andarguments that might transpire.

Having said thai, there is no way we canreport each and every comment, questionor discussion mat takes place during ameeting lhal can lasl Iwo, Ihree or morehours. Therefore we must edit for length

while still presenting the main facts andlone of the meeting to readers.

1 remember years ago at a BaldwinBoard of Education meeting, after hours ofintense heated disagreement and after mid-night, one board member stormed out ofthe meeting, slamming the door as he left.This was highly unusual.

I reported that he left in anger. At thenext meeting, the board member decried

.ihe'reporting lhat pielured him as "angry."I later advised Kim privately lhal as anelected public official, he did not have theluxury of behaving as he did publicly with-oul being aware lhal his behavior would bedescribed and reported.

While it is not easy being a public offi-cial, il is also not easy reporting on~publicaffairs. In interviews with local candidates,1 have sometimes slopped taking noles toask if they wanted to reword-their com-ments - perhaps not the most professionalthing to do but something I regard as akindness for those political amateurs whorun for office on the library or schoolboards and who serve wilhoul pay.

Bui when comments are made at public• meetings, particularly by professional

elected officials who are paid for Iheirefforts, ihen journalists cannot shirk theirresponsibilities.

A public has the right lo know howelected officials think and behave, what

their priorilies are. to whom they feel alle-giance, what their views are on importantlocal issues, what progress is being madein solving problems and how hard theyintend lo work.

Public officials musl recognize that deal-ing with the public and ihe press - no mat-ter how annoying it may be - is part of theirjob and a part that they musl learn how tohandle if they are lo be successful.

There are all sorts of'lalenls and skillslhal public officials musl possess if ihey arelo do iheir jobs well. The public officialwho doesn't believe that the abilily lo com-municate clearly, honestly and politely isone of those skills is sadly mistaken.

Like the Kellers who owned the paper in1987, we al The Leader today are commit-ted to honest and fair reporting. And likeIhe readers in 1987, today's readers, per-haps more than ever before, have ihe needto be properly informed, in news articleslhal report facls wilhoul journalistic preju-dice, without sensationalism and withoutspin.

Public officials musl be forthcoming.Journalists must make every effort to get itright. And voters have an obligation toattend public meetings and to read newspa-pers so they can get the information theyneed to lie informed citizens.

Freeprt SChOOl board Suozzi to address Freeport Dems

discusses academicsby Jim Golding

Freeport school trustees spent timediscussing the district's AcademicIntervention Services (AIS) Plan at theirmonthly meeting September 10, alongwith dealing with the issue of two dis-trict schools - Dodd Middle School andFreeport High - in heed of improvementor experiencing academic difficulty.

• But board members also learned ofprogress being made at both schoolsover the past two years. Dodd was on theFederal Title I schools in need ofimprovement, while FHS was on thestate Department of Education's list ofschools having academic difficulty inmath and English. "It's something we'reconcerned about," said SuperintendentDr. Eric Eversley.

He noted there were "substantial gainslast year" at Dodd, with a 73 percentincrease at levels 3 and 4 and largergains in math.

He said a school "needs two years ofsustained growth" to demonstrate it liasmade substantial academic progress andbe removed from the list.

As did school districts throughoutNew York, Freeport also had a dismalshowing in the recent "Math A" RegentsExam, but the superintendent reportedthat 108 of the high school students tak-ing the lest, who originally failed, werereevaluated and received passing scores.

Trustee Sunday Coward suggested theRegents test scores not be counted asheavily toward a student's passing gradefor the year.

Dr. Eversley said the district is "tryingto determine what other districts' are'doing" in determining how much of apercentage the exam will weigh on a stu-dent's grade.

The 34-page AIS Plan will receive itssecond reading at the board's next actionmeeting. It details the district's programfor addressing the academic deficienciesof 1,780 students in English LanguageArts at district elementary schools, and1,996 math students.

In a discussion about the plan, TrusteeRon Ellerbe urged that parents beinvolved in its development and beappointed to the committee for imple-menting the program.

During public comments, audiencemember Alan Jay noted his agreementwith Mr. Ellerbe and also called for"non-parent taxpayers" to have input inthe program. "I would like to see taxpay-ers [who aren't parents] on board. Thisrepresents a tremendous investment."

He questioned the cost of the programand how many teachers and administra-tors will be involved, and expressed con-cern that "it is eating up tax dollars."

Mr. Jay also said such programs are"helping to bankrupt stale and federalgovernments."

School officials had no figures on thenumber of personnel to be used in Iheprogram, bul Dr. Eversley explained thaiIhe program involves "intensive work inthe classroom to diminish Ihe number ofsludenls needing AIS. Our goal is lo con-linue lo slrenglhen Ihe mainstream aca-demic classroom," he said.

In other mailers, Ihe superintendentoffered a glowing assessment of open-ing-day activities in the district, calling it"a truly spectacular opening, one of thebest I've experienced."

He and some trustees also had highpraise for the "Welcome Back" activi-

lies, including ihe barbecue that attractednearly 2,000 parents, teachers and slu-dents.

Dr. Eversley also announced ihe fol- .lowing new administrators in the districtwho received approval from trustees.• John E O'Mard, the new principal atDodd Middle School.• Vernex Harding, assistant principal atthe Childhood Center at ColumbusAvenue .School.• Estelle Weiss, director of adult contin-uing community education.• Dr. Nicholas Tzimopoulos, district sci-ence coordinator.

In other board actions, trustees award-ed a contract for a heat exchanger for theAtkinson Library and Media Center tothe low bidder, Dollar Cooling Corp., for$41,800; and a contract to Domino'sPizza in Freeport for $36,574.20 worthof pizzeria pizza.

The board's next action meeting onSeptember 24 is, scheduled for 7:30 p.m.at Columbus Avenue School.

The next Freeport Democratic Clubmeeting will take place on Tuesday.September 23 at 7 p.m. at the FreeportMemorial Library. The guest speakerwil l be Nassau County ExecutiveThomas R. Suozzi.

There wil l also be an opportunity lo

Satirically yours

To The Leader:This is a satirical speech I delivered lo

the Freeport Village Board on August 18.I have decided that what this country

needs are more electric eels. A politicianwho promises an electric eel in every potand two in every hathluh will enlighten (heworld. And once Freeport becomes theboating and eel capital of America, mil-lions of federal jobs will more fromWashington to our prosperous village.Think of the shock this would inllicl on thehordes of environmentalist fanatics, stuckwith their jaws shut. How could they thenpanic the people over eel polution?

I Ibrsee only three obstacles lo this nat-ural maritime solution:1. 50,(XX) animal rights lawyers protestingthis abuse of the eels' constitutional rights.2. A jurisdiclional dispute between theCWA saboteurs and the electrical workersunion over who extorts the dues from theunwill ing eels.3. The Lindenmere Civic Association ofMerrick will no longer keep the AlbanyDEC busy enough, and these obstruction-ists to human progress will have to findreal jobs.

Do you know why Chrissey Whitmanwas fired as chief of the worthless EPA?She was forcing GE to waste $ 1.5 billionstirring up harmless PCBs from the bottomof the Hudson river. Do you realize howmuch electrical infrastructure GE couldmanufacture with $1.5 billion, if the usualsuspects would get out of the way?

Who are the usual suspects? A fewwould be the ACLU, Ralph Nader and hisGreen (with envy) Party, Gray-out Davisof California, the Sierra Club, and the mosttreacherous of them all, Madam La Farge,Hillary Clinton of New York.

Since most'of our volcanoes becameextinct, the main polution threateningAmerica is intellectual and political°polu-tion.

Freeport. Mr. Grosser's testimony said"(lie draft soil management plan had failedto include a drawing showing where anyexcavations would occur and to whatdeptli each would he made. This informa-tion had to he overlaid on the samplinglocation drawing in order to estimate theamount of waste that would he removedand determine if there were areas to heexcavated where PCB levels exceeded Ippm." Mr. Grosser added in his testimonythat "Mr. Cava recommended additionalsampling in order to delineate which soilmust he removed from the site (i.e. thatsoil with a PCB contamination above 1ppm) and which could he used onsite (soilwith a PCB contamination less than Ippm)."

Mr. Bianco testified that "the Villageretained P.W. Grosser to conduct the nec-essary sampling program. The resultsrevealed that the concentrations and extentof the PCB concentration was muchgreater than had been measured in 1993."

Mr. Grosser testified that his firm col-lected "150 soil samples in two-foot inter-'vals and had them aitaly/.ed on July 8,2(X)3." He added that additional sampleswere taken based upon the initial results"to define' the hori/.ontal and verticalextent of PCB contaminated soil with con-centrations greater than 50 ppm.Approximately 3(X) soil samples were col-lected."

"The results indicated PCB contamina-tion in excess of the NYSDEC TAGMcleanup objectives of 1.0 ppm for surfacesoil and 10 ppm for subsurface soil in cer-tain locations at the site. The highest PCBresult was 721.9 ppm collected at loca-tions from two to four feel below the sur-face. Over 20 locations reported concen-

High school on state listThe stale Education Department

announced that Frceporl High School hasbeen listed among "Schools RequiringAcademic Progress" for high school mathand high school English EL A.

Freeport is among a list of 188 schoolsthat did not receive Title 1 funds hut arelisted under stale rules as RequiringAcademic Progress. Under these stale reg-ulations. Schools Requiring AcademicProgress are schools that have failed tomake Adequate Yearly Progress in multi-ple years. These schools are required todevelop plans similar to those that aredeveloped by schools that are identified asin need of improvement or in correctiveaction. However, Schools RequiringAcademic Progress are not required to

. offer public school choice or supplementaleducational services.

Federal law under No Child Left Behindrequires that school districts publiclyannounce their accountability .'status. Themost recent slate test data used to makethese determinations are from the 2002-2003 school year.

This year for the first time, schools arebeing held accountable for the achieve-ment of students of different races, stu-dents with disabilities, students with limit-ed English proficiency, and low-incomestudents. They must also have 95% of theirstudents participate in the English andMath tests.

Stale Education Commissioner RichardP. Mills said last week, "Our focus needs tobe on the children. We need lo do every-thing possible to help them achieve thestandards. The information we have pro-vided will help schools lake a closer lookal the children who still need more help."

Freeport Superintendent Dr. Eric

Eversley made the following commentconcerning the slale results:

"The recent appearance of FreeportHigh School on the New York state lisl ofschools requiring academic progress inEnglish Language Arts and mathematicscomes as no suiprise to us. We aclivelyreview our performance data on a regularbasis and we are certainly aware of howthe education department chooses to cate-gori/e schools throughout the stale. We arecurrently engaged in many efforts through-out the district to analyze our student per-formance data and make improvementsbased on the knowledge generated fromlhal analysis. For example, all of ourschools have School InstructionalImprovement Plans thai will be revisedibis year based on the lalesl performancedala. FHS is beginning the rigorousMiddle Slates Accredilalion Process thatwill help Ihe entire FHS community devel-

. op goals and strategies intended lo ensurethat all FHS sludents achieve high aca-demic standards.

"Student performance as measured bystate tests has been increasing by doubledigit percentages in our schools. For exam-ple, Dodd Middle School saw a 58 percentincrease in the number of students meetingstate ELA standards. Our four magnetschool were all recognized by the stale lastyear for iheir significant improvement onstale lesls. Dislricl-wide, the number offourth graders meeling slate ELA stan-dards increased by 72 percent.

"I'm extremely proud of our students,families, staff and administrators. Theirmany successes make me confidentthat in the very near future, both Doddand FHS wi l l join the ranks of themost improved."

Hubert M. Bianco, Superintendent of Electric Utilities

To our Valued Customers:

he historic northeastI blackout last month was

JL a test of enormous pro-portions for Freeport Electricand all of our customers.Thank you all for yourpatience and understandingas all the operations and linecrews of Freeport Electricworked to restore your powerand keep the lights on untilour interconnection withLIPA was restored. Minutesafter the blackout hit, off-duty staff of Freeport Electricstarted arriving on their owninitiative ready to help wher-ever needed. Our staff - yourfamily, friends, and Freeportneighbors - worked with lit-tle or no rest over 24 hours torestore and maintain yourpower.

It was a typical a summerafternoon. Freeport cus-tomers were drawing approx-imately 54 MW of electricitywhen the blackout hit, mostof which is supplied fromsources outside the Village(NYPA hydro-electric powerand other market sources)and approximately 8 MWfrom in-Village generation.Obviously, our connection tothose out-of-Villageresources was severed whenwe were disconnected fromthe LIPA system. FreeportElectric immediately reactedto bring in-Village generationon line. The first unit was upand running only 8 minutesafter the blackout hit. Overthe next two-and-a-halfhours, all units were broughton line.

Freeport Electric is gratefulfor the cooperation and con-stant communication we hadwith the Village Police, Fire,and Emergency ManagementDepartments, as well as theother departments who pro-

vided personnel to no t i fycustomers. Thank you alsofor understanding that wefaced hard decisions throughthe next day. It was critical tokeep power supplied to pro-tect public health and safety,to our traffic controls, watersupply for drinking and fireprotection, for sewage man-agement, as well as to priori-ty customers who have sig-nificant* health problems orrely on life-support equip-ment. During rolling black-outs scheduled throughFriday, the inconvenience ofan hour wi thout powerallowed us to restore yourpower for the next three ormore hours. These rollingblackouts allowed us to man-age the load through theVillage and avoid any furtheroutages. Thank you also foryour cooperation in reducingyour energy consumptionduring the crisis, shutting offlights, AC and large appli-ances.

Freeport is extremely fortu-nate to have in-Village gener-ation capability. Without it,power would have remainedout until 1:00 am Saturday-(approximately 30 hours)when our LIPA connectionwas restored. When the newgeneration project is com-pleted at Power Plant 2, wewill have enough generatingcapacity to meet demandwithout having to instituterolling blackouts.

Truly, in the Blackout of2003, the Village of Freeportstood out as an oasis of lightin a sea of darkness.

Yours truly,Hubert Bianco

Owner Lynn James-Gross and herslalT of Irainers is introducing iheCurves philosophy to local womenwho have 30 minutes lo follow the car-dio and strength training program.

"It's really life-changing" noted Ms.James-Gross who said that through theprogram she has personally lost 40pounds and gone from a si/.e 22 to a14. ''You look at yourself and life dif-ferently," she said.

The Curves program was started byGary Havin of Texas and is the fastestgrowing franchise in the country. Thefitness entrepreneur, who previouslyran a regular fitness business, noticedthat many women "had little time todevote lo fitness and often stayed clearof the strength training machines.

The Curves program, geared forwomen only, includes strength trainingon a series of 12 machines interspersedwith cardio workout stations. At a firstmeeting by appointment, a clientspeaks with a trainer who conducts a"figure analysis" (weight, measure-ments, etc.) along with a health andlifestyles hislory,.and a discussion ofrealistic goals. The program and use ofmachines are explained.

Membership consists of an initial feeof $149, which Ms. .James-Gross isdiscounting at 66 percent for the first100 customers. The monthly fee, basedon an annual membership, is $39.Women may come as often as theywish - three lo four times a week issuggested. If women want lo come

• daily, it is recommended that theyalternate a "hard" machine workoutwith a "light" machine workout inorder lo allow muscles to "rest, repairand rebuild."

"Women tend lo put themselveslast," Ms. James-Gross noted. "Theydrive their children to all sorts of activ-ities, and 'then don'l leave time forthemselves. This program allowswomen to find time for themselves,their health and fitness. Most womencan find 30 minutes. Curves allowseveryone to proceed at Iheir ownpace."

In the "circuit training." womenmove from machine to machine andalternate upper body strength trainingexercise with aerobic recovery stationsand then lower body exercises. Thereis always a Irainer on Ihe floor whomonilors Ihe use of machines, andhearl rates are checked every eightminutes.

The other benefit of Curves is lhatwomen can come and go on their ownschedules. Whenever a woman arrives,she can begin her circuit.

Although the circuit is the same foreveryone, the pace on the machinesand the activilies at. the cardio stationscan be adjusted. For that reason Curvesis ideal for ladies, no mailer Iheir age,physical slamina or prior conditioning.

Nutritional programs will be addedto the program later in ihe year, but theCurves philosophy is thai slrenglhIraining has been proven as the solu-lion lo permanenl fal reduction.

Ms. James-Gross notes thai theatmosphere at Curves is caring andhelpful. While women will gel a work-out, it is one thai reflects their owncapabilities and goals. Each work-out

is estimated to burn up lo 600 calories.Curves is located at 826 Merrick

Road and has plenly oflighled parkingbehind ihe shop. There is an entranceinlo Ihe parking lot via Foxhurst Road.Those interested in joining may call623-8395 for an initial appoinlment.

Ms. James-Gross - first becameinvolved with Curves through her sis-ter Mary, who owns four franchises. "Ihave had the franchise for a year," saidMs. James-Gross "and I looked for the.best location."

She praised the Freeporl-Baldwinarea. "There's everything here - parks,marinas, a great population, great peo-ple, and wonderful ladies."

With its location at the center oflown. Curves I as Ihe perlccl location

for women lo.convenienlly fit in their30-minute workouts and then proceedwith the many demands of their day.The hours of operation are Monday toFriday, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8

a.m. to I p.m."We're not jusl selling a membership

here." said Ms. James-Gross, "We'reselling a service. I've been there. Iknow. Life is about change and Curvesis about improving your life."

by Joan DelaneyHundreds of Baldwiniles brought love

and support to the widows and families ofthose who died on September 11 , 2001 atdedication ceremonies of the community'spermanent memorial.

The names of the ten Baldwinites whodied that day are now engraved on a bronzemarker embedded in a large jagged rock at(he Grand Avenue and Sunrise Highwayintersection, a place that has becomeBaldwin's emotional center for communityceremonies.

A quotation from Helen Keller heads theplaque. "What we have enjoyed anddeeply loved we can never lose, for all thative love deeply becomes pan of us.'' Thenames of the ten Baldwinites then follow:

Alvin Bergsohn, Richard Bruehert,James Carson, Joseph J. Coppo, Jr.

Baldwin dedicates 9/11 memorialThomas A Hobbs, Terence J. Manning,Brian McAleese, FDNY, Joel Miller,Edward W: Schunk and David Weiss.

Below the names is written, "We honorthe memory of all who were lost, includingthose who have been a part of the Baldwincommunity. September 11 , 2001.

The ceremony began at dusk under clear,cool skies. Dee Cruz, President of theBaldwin Community Association (BCA)addressed the community. He described allthose who died as heroes, "All victims of awar they didn't know they were in."Although this ceremony marks the .finalformal ceremony which the BCA andChamber of Commerce will conduct inhonor of those who died on Seplmeber 1 1 ,Mr. Cruz suggested that everyone "take amoment each year, say a-prayer, bring aflower here." *

Hurricane safety tipsfrom page 4

• Avoid loose or dangl ing powerlines, reporting them immediately tothe power company, police or' firedepartment.

• Enter your home with caution.• Beware of insects or animals driven

to higher ground by floodwater.• Open windows and doors to venti-

late and dry your home.• Check refrigerated food for spoilage

and dispose appropriately. •• Take pictures of the damage to the

house and' its contents for insuranceclaims.

• Look for electrical system damage.• Check for gas leaks, sewage and

water lines damages.

Red Cross Needs Long Islanders toHelp

Since the Red Cross is not a govern-ment agency, the Red Cross relies sole-ly on financial contributions to help itrespond to hurricanes and other emer-gencies.

To volunteer or donate, call 747-3500in Nassau County and (631) 924-6700in Suffolk County.

The above information is also onwww.NassauRedCross.org.

Margie Miller spoke on behalf of thefamilies. She said their loved ones were"drafted to a war they didn't expect." Shedescribed the victims as Baldwinites whohad "gone to school here or chosen to raisetheir families here." She suggested to theaudience, "Honor their memories more byliving the dream they are not here to live.Teach your children to stand up forAmerica."

Firefighter John McAleese, the brotherof fireman Brian McAleese, also addressedthe crowd, offering particular thanks to theBaldwin Fire Department who were pres-ent in large force wearing parade dress.

Deborah Maniaci, a board member ofboth the BCA and Chamber, and the coor-dinator of the event, noted that she hadtaken the 9:11 train into the city. "The con-ductor told us what was happening. Wesaw the towers fall." She added, "We areall basically the same," noting that "wework, have homes, and dream." She saidthe memorial was dedicated "to all those

whose lives were cut short.''Family members embraced each other

while members of the community stoodsomewhat apart in what could only bedescribed as reverent respect. Each family

.was given a yellow rose, which was thenplaced in front of the memorial. At the con-clusion of the ceremony, community mem-bers placed lighted candles at the site.

Members of the Nassau Mid IslandChorus sang a variety of patriotic songsand hymns. Together everyone said thePledge of Allegiance.

The family members, many of whomattended Ground Zero ceremonies, lookedexhausted and in some cases still in theshock-of disbelief as prayers and songsactivated memories and heartache.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, com-munity members greeted each other andchatted. Stories of "where I was." and "howI heard about it" were told from one toanother, making the tragic day of two yearsago as immediate as if it were yesterday.

Power Plant 2from page 8

thai 174 cubic'yards have a-PCB conceh-iralion between ID ppm and 50 ppm and222 cubic yards are contaminated inexcess of 50 ppm. At (he four lo six feetbelow the surface, (here are approximate-ly 145 cubic yards of soil contaminatedwith between 10 and 50 ppm of PCBs and149 cubic yards of soil contaminated withmore than 50 ppm of PCBs. Finally at sixto eight feet below the surface. I estimatethere are no soils contaminated with morethan 50 ppm of PCBs and approximately7.4 cubic yards of soil contaminated withbetween 10 and 50 PCBs."

Mr. Bianco's testimony added that"Paul Grosser estimates that approximate-ly 10,000 cubic yards of soil will need lobe removed from the site.''

Mr. Grosser said excavation of soil issignificant and "this volume would coveran entire football field with nine feet ofsoil."

The cost to the village will be $2.5 mil-lion. "The village had decided to com-pletely remove the lop two feet lo four feelof soil from the enlire portion of the sitethat has been allocated for the FrceportLM6000 combustion turbine. The portionof the site allocated to ihe proposed mer-chant facility has Ihe higher concentra-tions of PCBs and will likely require moreextensive excavation," said Mr. Bianco.He added that "this material must be han-dled as solid waste and much of the mate-rial will be handled as PCB contaminatedwaste subject to the Toxic Substance andControl Act. A key determinant will be theavailability of trucks licensed lo handlethis type of material. Theses factors arebeing worked out."

Mr. Grosser said the village has metwith the DEC regarding "our cleanupobjectives and communicated with theU.S. Environmental. Protection Agencyregarding PCB contaminated soil inexcess of 50 ppm."

Mr. Grosser added that "The Villageof Fr'eeport wil l remove the PCB contam-inated soil with concentrations greaterthan 50 ppm in the areas of constructionof the new electric generating facility. Inaddition the Village of Freeport hasreceived approval from the DEC to per-

form excavation-and..removal of soilscontaminated wi th less llian 50.ppm andmore than 10 ppm. Finally; the Village ofFreeport will remove and dispose of soilcontaminated with between I.( ') ppm and10 ppm of PCBs off-site in order toensure the sile is sufficiently remediated."Surface soils with less than 1.0 ppm ofPCBs remain on-site. PCB concentrationof 1.0 to 10 ppm may remain on-site pro-vided they are covered with more thantwo feet of clean fill outside of Ihe con-struction area."

DEC spokesperson Bill Fonda said that"(he Village of Frccporl is taking a proac-tive stance lo clean-up."

However. DEC attorneys at iheSeptember 3 hearing want lo know howlong il would be before construction couldresume. "About six weeks." said Mr.Grosser. "Do you have a plan from iheEPA?" asked the DEC allorney. "We're

' waiting lo hear from them." replied Mr.Grosser.

Mr. Bianco believes dial Ihe economicimpact of premature closure of Ihe diesclswould resull in increased capacity costs loFreeport's ratepayers of ,$4()8.()(X) permonlh. "While I understand the DEC'sdesire to have a dale certain I cannotunderstand why they want lo punish theresidents of Freeport by forcing the clo-sure of the diesels before Ihe LM6(MX) hasreached commercial operation."

Ann Dictor diesfrom page 5

' decorated'in a homey style - pillows, com-fortable wicker chairs, toys for childrenand a cat.

Her daughter noted that throughout hermother's advancements she scheduled herpersonal business transactions on St.Patrick's Day, in honor of her own moth-er's birthday and her pride in her Irish her-itage.

Ms. Dictor was also known as the "ket-tle" lady, for her over 20 year involvementwith the Salvation Army and her leader-ship role in the Baldwin Service Unit. Eachholiday season she would contact her widecircle of friends, associates'and colleagues,asking them to ring the bell for a few hoursto collect money for the fund which helpslocal people in need.

Her daughter, who rang the bell with hermother for many years, said that the firsttime people were contacted, manyresponded reluctantly, but after doing itone time, they returned enthusiastically."There's a good feeling you gel when youknow you're helping someone." Sheremembered ringing the bell with hermother. "Everyone else was runningaround like crazy on Christmas Eve buy-ing things and we're still at Pathmark, thelast ones to leave, ringing the bell." Formany years, the Baldwin Service Unit col-lected the most money for the kettle funddrive of all the units in the area.

Ms. Dictor was also active in localcommunity service groups. She served asPresident of the Rotary Club and wasparticularly interested in the ."Gift ofLife" program through which the clubsponsors youngsters from foreign coun-tries in need of life-saving surgeries. Mrs.Vines spoke of going with her mother tohospitals to visit the young -patients and

. their families. .. ... . . . . . . . . . .She was also a director of the Baldwin

Chamber of Commerce. President Doris..Duffy spoke, of Ms. Dictor's activities."She was in charge of many of the holidaydecorations; she participated in the ClassyCan project, and most recently she was incharge of securing speakers for our regularmeetings. It is a loss, such a great loss." I

In addition to Ms. Dictors professional 'and community accomplishments, Mrs.Vines speaks of a mother and grandmotherwho was a constant presence in her fami-ly's life. "Right after I gave birth to thetwins, my mother took Annemarie and 'Nicholas to Disney world. They'll neverforget that." ,

Speaking of her mother's life as a singlemother, Mrs. Vines said, "She had a toughroad; she worked hard; she wanted to give.us a life. As a professional woman, she wasahead of her times."

Colleagues and community associateswere shocked to hear of Ms. Dictor'sdeath, most finding out that she had beensick only when they heard that she haddied. Commenting on the privacy sur-rounding her mother's illness, Mrs. Vines ..said, "She was a private lady; she didn'twant people to feel sorry for her, she didn'twant her illness to be people's focus. Shewould have -wanted to. be remembered lorher family and,her accomplishments,";. j

. Funeral arrangements were; under, thedirection of Fullerlon Funeral Home, ofBaldwin. A Mass of Christian Burial tookplace at St. Christopher's Church onSeptember 11.

In lieu of flowers, the family has sug-gested that those interested in remember-ing Ms. Diclor make their donations tothe Baldwin Service Unit of theSalvation Army, 1 1 1 Willis Avenue,FOB 448, Mineola, 1501 or the Gift ofLife program of the Rotary Club. 475Northern Boulevard, Suite 25, Great
