The bird's the word s%&

i a.,* *"

by Joan Delaney

A male western tanager, who shouldbe wintering in Mexico and whoseusual habitat is California and theWest Coast, has been sighted inBaldwin since December 31.

Birders theorize that he might havebeen blown off course by a jet stream.but the plucky bird found himself anextremely bird-friendly Eastern habi-tat at the home of Muriel and JohnStahl at 2049 Windsor Road.

Mrs. Stahl said that she and her hus-band are serious gardeners but are alsointerested bird watchers and havenumerous feeders around their mag-nificently landscaped yard, whichbacks onto Brookside Creek. Theyfeed both birds and mallard duckseach day, and the off-course tanagersomehow found this very habitablebackyard for his new winter home.

"We first noticed him aroundDecember 31. but we were busy withthe holidays. 1 don't know how longhe was there before. Normally theStahls have at least 20 varieties ofbirds in their yard, but those birds arenormal for the area. 1 noticed this bird

— yellow with dark wings, tail andback, a yellow beak and a reddishhead. The red becomes more promi-nent as it nears spring." said Mrs.Stahl.

Eventually, they began to do a littleresearch:

"My husband looked up Easternbirds in the Sibley bird book since wehad never seen this bird before. Atfirst he thought it was an orchard ori-ole, which is native to this area, butthe oriole has a black beak."

Her husband put the book down andwhile going about 'her chores, Mrs.Stahl suddenly noticed a picture on thecover. It was a western tanager, andshe said. "That's our bird!"

The week before Super BowlSunday, Mr. Stahl called the Wild BirdAlert Hotline, which is run by theAudubon Society, to see if there wereany unusual bird sightings in the area.. At Mrs. Stahl's suggestion, Mr.Stahl called back to mention theirbird. They then sent a picture of thebird to Tony Lauro, who coordinatesnews of the sightings, and he calledback immediately to ask. "How manypeople can we bring?"

Since then at least 150 birders havevisited the Windsor Road address.There were 30 the first weekend thesighting was publicized. The Stahlshave a picture on their front door ofthe bird \vith a note welcoming birdersto walk around the back and sit ontheir deck to watch for the bird.

At first the bird stayed longer at thefeeder and came back in shorter inter-vals. Lately, the time at the feeder hasbeen less and the intervals longer. Thelongest he's been away is 2 1/2 hours.One warm day he even ate sunflowerseeds that they had put on a table ontheir backyard deck.

Mrs. Stahl has nothing but praise forthe birders she has met. "They are sopolite. They are so thankful. The}' juststand on the deck and I have toencourage them to sit down. Theyhave come' from as far away asBuffalo and Niagara Falls. Some comefrom upstate, Connecticut, NewJersey, Massachusetts and, of course,Long Island and some have come backseveral times.

Freeport trustees handle short agenda Freeporrs? Baldwin's super spellers!by Jim Golding

At Monday's Village Board meetingwith an agenda shorter than a dwarf ata Knicks game, trustees awarded acontract to the Unlimited RubbishRemoval Company of HuntingtonStation for lot clearance in Freeport.

The price ceiling of $60,735 \vouldcover any work involving clearingtrash from lots whose owners failed tocomply with the clean-up deadline.The cost of clearing a lot would beadded to a property owner's tax bill.

The board also approved $3,866 formiscellaneous sidewalk repairs, andgranted a request from WilliamClinton Story American Legion Post342 to conduct the annual MemorialDay Parade on Monday, May 28.

Freeport Pride Inc. received permis-sion to hang a banner across SouthMain Street near Mill Road advertising"A Taste of Freeport" to be heldWednesday. April 18.

During public comment, residentFrancis Cooper complained that resi-dents living near 164 Moore Avenuedid not receive proper notificationabout a hearing to grant a variance to adeveloper to build on the narrow lot.

The Zoning Board initially denied

the request in December, but it wasappealed to the state Supreme Court inNassau County, which granted thevariance.

He said there was inadequate notifi-cation of a December 20 Zoning Boardmeeting to residents living within a200-foot radius of the property andasked trustees to chance the villageordinance to require adequate notifica-tion.

Mr. Cooper also complained aboutthe accumulation of ice along his streetduring the past weekend's storm.

Public Works Director LouisDiGrazia said village crews spentmore than 19 hours from Friday toSaturday spreading sand and salt onthe streets, but noted the difficulty inremoving the ice.

Mayor William F. Glacken notedthat "it's easier to clean a foot of snowthan two or three inches of ice."

Alan Jay protested the trustees'action at their March 12 meeting toaward a contract for 150,000 gallons offuel oil. He charged that the firm wasnot "a responsible bidder" because itsoil comes from Venezuela, which isruled by a dictator, Hugo Chavez, whowould use the funds "to fund terror-ists."

The American Spirit

American Idol, The Donald?Two of the most popular television shows in

recent years, "American Idol" and "TheApprentice" share a common theme, setting peo-ple up to dare to dream and then humiliatingthem. That snobby Brit, Simon, does it to per-formers on "American Idol," and Donald Trumpdoes it to, his "Apprentice" dealmakers. True,there is much to be admired about The Donald.He started out with about $200,000 and won thefinancial backing he needed to build hotels, anice rink, casinos, you name it. He was a masterat PR. Now he's ready to build a super restaurantand catering hall at Jones Beach, which willhopefully contribute to the local economy.

But the question is, "What is the trueAmerican spirit?" Does it mean putting othersdown or lifting people up? Do people love"American Idol" for the hope that talent doesn'tneed connections to become a star? Or do theyenjoy the putdowns?

One would like to think the true American spir-it is that frontier spirit of barnraising. My familyhelps your family build its barn, and then you dothe same for us when we need your help. Wehelp each other with the harvest, dance at eachother's weddings, hurry to sandbag the leveetogether and console each other at funerals.

When it's time to cast a play or form a team,we find a place for everybody so that everyonefeels important and all those talents click. Thatmakes the team stronger than its few stars.

Our nation was based on faith in God, equalityunder God and in the Golden Rule of "Do untoothers as you would have them do unto you."

Imagine for a moment that you are a million-aire: Would you rather leave your children aninheritance of dollars, or citizenship in a countrythat has a safety net, equal opportunities in edu-cation and a chance to work hard and achievetheir own dreams? Working together makes thatcountry a reality.

DE LA SALLE FUNDRAISER: Johnand Kathi King hosted a receptionat their home for The De La SalleSchool, a scholarship CatholicSchool middle school (grades fivethrough eight) that shares in theLasallian heritage. Staff, boardmembers, benefactors, and newfriends gathered to share informa-tion and news about this innova-tive educational opportunity avail-able to young men who come fromeconomically disadvantaged back-grounds. Freeport residentBrother Thomas Casey, FSC, theschool's executive director,praised the Kings for their hospi-tality. "John and Kathi clearlyendorse our mission as their hos-pitality and generosity attest."

VALENTINES FOR VETERANS: Hempstead Town Councilwoman Angle Cullin (sixth right, stand-ing) presents official Town of Hempstead Certificates of Recognition to the students at theTransfiguration School in Freeport for their participation in the Valentines for Vets program,which the town instituted in 2001. through this program students create valentines to sendto veterans in local VA hospitals.

Emotions charged at Baldwin board meeting era

by Joan Delaney

A gentle and thankful man saved byschool district heroes, the still-chargedemotional reactions; to melees at thehigh school, academic presentationsby several professional educators, anenergy award to a school districtwhich is paving the'way in conserva-tion - all these and more were agendaissues at the March 14 Baldwin Boardof Education meeting.

• • •Tears and smiles abounded asMeadow School staff who saved thelife of custodian Sadrettin Akgun werehonored by Karen and JohnAcompora, the parents of LouisAcompora, the high school studentwho died in March 2000 from a bluntforce trauma to his chest while playinglacrosse at Northport High School.

After that tragedy, his parents lob-bied for and were successful in havingthe state legislature pass a law requir-ing thai a defibrillator be placed in

every school and staff be trained in itsuse.

As Mrs. Acompora presented bou-quets and awards to each of the res-cuers, she noted that since the signingof that law in 2002 by GovernorGeorge Pataki, "There have been 30lives saved in New York." Mr. Akgunis one of them.

According to the scenario describedby Michael Sheehan, the director offacilities, operations and safety for thedistrict, Mr. Akgun had just walkedback into Meadow School after shov-eling snow on February 14. He sud-denly fell over, his face into a puddle.

Immediately, his colleague TomGortman, following the procedures inwhich all district staff have beentrained, removed Mr. Akgun's facefrom the water, turned him around,called for help and asked that 911 becalled.

School nurses Winnie Cooke andAna Andersen immediately respondedand began to administer CPR with

'mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.Quickly, Joseph Mercado arrived withthe defibrillator and, following theprocess, began to administer the shockwaves which returned Mr. Akgun tolife.

As the rescue was described and therescuers honored, Mr. Akgun stoodwith a smile on his face, clutching thered, heart shaped pillow which heartsurgery patients are given. Asapplause rang out, he kissed his res-cuers while his wife and family smiledfrom the audience.

After the most poignant commentsfrom Mrs. Acompora, Betsy Shurackfrom the American Heart Associationpresented the rescuers with awardsnoting that they would be further hon-ored at a dinner later in the year.

Mrs. Acompora, calling the effortsof her husband and herself a "mis-sion," described the work of the foun-dation set up in her son's name. Theywill be hosting a training day at NorthShore University Hospital on May 31,

a day which the state has designated"Sudderi Cardiac Awareness Day."Also commended by Mr. Sheehanwere Dr. Arlene Asti , chairperson ofthe physical education department atthe middle school and Ed Ramirez,director of health, physical educationand athletics who provided and over-saw the training for the district staff inthe procedures and use of defibrilla-tors.

Mrs. Acompora told The Leaderthat she was "pleased and proud to behere to honor the rescuers." In leavingthe auditorium, Mrs. Akgun could beheard to say of her husband, "He does-n't want to leave," referring to hisclear joy in relishing the moment. Ashe passed his principal, Joan Flatley,Mr. Akgun leaned over to say, "I'mcoming back" and she placed her handgently on his shoulder urging him notto worry.

bird. He was in tears because for himthis was a life bird. A life bird is a birda person expects to see only once in hislifetime and it is for this reason thatbirders travel long distances to seeunusual types. Mr. Stahl said that seri-ous birders keep lists by county, stateand region of the birds they see andmany take photographs to documentthe sightings.

"I feel so responsible when peoplecome." said Mrs. Stahl and she spokeof one man who had come fromConnecticut, close to Rhode Island. Itwas 4:30 and he had been here for twohours and hadn't seen the bird. I sug-gested he wait a bit longer and at 5p.m. the bird finally returned to thefeeder.

People call each other on their cell

phones describing the sighting andbirders even came in February duringthe brutal cold.

How does the tanager survive in thismore severe climate? Mrs. Stahl saidthat he flies into the woods by thebrook and preserve area as well as intothe warmer safety of the large ever-green branches. The brook neverfreezes, so he has fresh water, and ofcourse they feed the birds every day.The Stahls have no idea how long thebird wi!! stay. Typically, the bird wouldreturn to California from Mexico inlater March or April. Mr. Stahl saidthat there have been sightings of sever-al other western tanagers - two in NewJersey, although one was found dead,one in Massachusetts, one inNewfoundland and one in Nova Scotia.

Is there any protocol for helping off-course birds return to their natural

have to let nature take its course.In their bird-friendly yard, Mrs.

Stahl says that each year a femalehummingbird returns with that year'soffspring. Occasionally, about twice ayear they have seen a great blueheron.

When Brookside Preserve was ded-icated some years ago, members ofthe

Audubon Society, including then-president Betsy Gulotta, spoke of theimportance of maintaining greenspace to provide safe havens forwildlife.

Clearly, the closeness of the pre-serve, easy access to the brook, plusthe welcoming environment of theyard of Muriel and John Stahl havemade it possible for this lone westerntanager to survive.

by Jim Golding

Members of the Freeport SchoolDistrict's finance/budget advisory com-mittee presented several recommenda-tions at the March 14 trustees' meeting.

Committee Co-chairman Dr. RobertTucker noted that the recommenda-tions "will not have a negative impacton the quality of education and won'thave a negative effect on taxpayers."

Committee recommendationsinclude

• Scheduling honors classes parallelto the advanced placement classes.

• Reconfiguring buildings (interme-diate and middle schools) for greaterefficiency and avoidance of duplicateservices and education purposes.

• Determining staffing needs in lieuof a projected 10 percent drop in stu-dent population (about 600 students)over the next six years. The commit-tee's report notes that between 1998and 2005, the student population

decreased by 656 students. The pro-jection for the period from 2005 to2012 is a drop of 678. Meanwhile,between 1998 and 2006, staff size wasincreased by 170, and 50 teachingassistants.

• Examination of a more efficientuse of administrators.

• Consideration of ongoingSaturday academies for Regentsclasses and for all students academi-cally at risk.

• Increase employee contributionsto health insurance costs because ofrapidly escalating costs for healthcare and other benefits.

• Consider adding a public informa-tion officer.

The committee report also advisesschool officials to reconsider past rec-ommendations, including:

• Re-evaluating the purchase of allnew equipment and supplies, with apriority to replacement of equipment.

Emotions charged at Baldwin board meetingfrom page 5

board meeting were not so pleasant,however, as several residents relatedtheir concerns regarding two violentand escalating incidents which tookplace at the high school onWednesday, March 7. and Thursday.March 8. (.See chronology provided byihe Baldwin School District on page 7in ihis issue). Clearly stated from theonset, however, was that the incidentswere not racial and no weapons wereused.

Board President Mary Jo O'Hagan.seeing a large crowd and anticipatingiheir desire to speak to the board,allotted an early and extra portion ofthe meeting for "audience comments."

When the more critical agenda itemswere completed, she asked for com-ments, but no one chose to speak atthat time. At the conclusion of themeeting, when most people had left,several people did speak and emotionswere evident as one woman cried asshe spoke and referred to the Tuesdayevening meeting of March 13. calledby high school administration andattended by several hundred people.

In emotionally charged words, thelife-long resident of the communitydescribed thai mee'ing as one in which"everyone and no one was blamed."She said that these incidents, as wellas other incidents, have caused her tothink about moving. "We can't havekids cursing out teachers and beatingup security guards."

She described a societal situation inwhich the tendency toward violencebegins in elementary school. Referringto school district cautions to makesure that the rights of the perpetratorsare not violated, she said. "You talkabout rights: what about the rights ofthe rest of the kids. If you don'taddress the behavior, how are yougoing to address the education?"

She said that many people new tothe district are "bringing the behaviorthey learned somewhere else toBaldwin." Not necessarily blamingtheir families, as she acknowledgedthat parents are working two jobs to

put a roof over their children's heads,she said." Something in the dynamic -maybe peer pressure - is compellingthem to act differently."

In later comments to The Leader.Mrs. O'Hagan and board memberAnne Hannon called the incidentsincomprehensible. "It appeared thatone group of juniors suddenly decidedto attack a group of seniors." Whenasked if they believed the incident onWednesday provoked the Thursdayincidents, they shrugged their shoul-ders.

The Thursday incident; whichcaused the cancellation of the teadance, part of Sportnight activities,according to board members and PTAleaders, "seemed to involve both blackhonors students and athletes in junioryear who were outside the commonssuddenly deciding to attack blackhonors students and athletes who wereseniors who were in the commons."

U7ider investigation"It's all being investigated," board

members said, noting that trying tosort out the prime offenders and insti-gators among a crowd of 50 kids is nota quick process. When another parentin the audience said, "We want toknow that these kids are going to bepunished." Mrs. O'Hagan, her facesolemn and her words like steel, said,"Oh. they will be punished."

Board members tried to make itclear that despite criticism at theTuesday evening meeting, the board iscommitted not only to dealing withthis incident but to totally reviewingthe full panorama of violence (safetyand school tone) which continues toescalate with ongoing bomb threatsfound even in elementary schools. Shesaid that combating violence "is notsolved by any one approach: there aremany levels and pieces. Punishingkids is a piece."

Former Principal Debbie Martin.who had attended the Tuesday eveningmeeting, pointed out that while therewere many accusations against the dis-trict, interruptions to speakers, andconcern, the students who spoke uni-

formly showed "love for the highschool and respect for .the staff." Itwas acknowledged by several speak-ers that the problems are being caused"by a small group," but that group isgrowing larger, their actions morepublic and violent, and the occur-rences more frequent.

Mrs. O'Hagan said that superintend-ent hearings relative to suspensionswere on-going and a mediation sessionhad occurred the previous eveningwith some girls who were peripherallyinvolved, as well as their parents. Afollow-up public meeting will be heldin the near future to inform the com-munity of the results of the investiga-tion.

"It's not easy investigating an inci-dent this complex," said Mrs.O'Hagan. She said that the district didnot want to be in the position of hav-ing to correct or retract prematurecomments.

When asked if the police were alsoinvestigating, both Mrs. Hannon andMrs. O'Hagan said that at this point,there did not seem to be specific per-petrators who had committed action-able crimes according to the levelneeded to activate a police investiga-tion.

"There was a lot of pushing andshoving and elbows," said Mrs.Hannon. Acknowledged, however,was that a female security guard wasknocked down, injured and brought tothe hospital, where she was treatedand released.

Resident Stanley Gittleman, whoran for the board and has appeared atnumerous meetings advocating thedistrict's use of a formal program on

Social /Emotional Learning, suggestedthat perhaps now the district willreconsider its decision and agree toinitiate the program. "The problem ispeople have to be taught how to react.They have to be taught how to handlethemselves when they get angry."

+ + +In other business, the school district

SNOWBOARDING IN FREEPORT: Hardworking Freeport youths made good useof the snow and their energy by building a ski ramp and jump.

Night skiing closed at 9 p.m. Sunday, because it wasa school night.
