by Jim GoldingQuality-of-life issues along, the

Nautical Mile were raised at-Monday'sVillage Board meeting by FrancesFusco, Jill Carroll, Nancy Caracciolo,Robert Taylor, and Doris Katz, whovented their frustrations and called forbetter enforcement against the violators.

Ms. Fusco cited one restaurant in par-ticular that she said violates prohibitionsagainst loud music that exceed permit-ted decibel levels, has a bar that servespatrons on an outside deck of the estab-lishment and has an awning installedwithout a permit.

She jokingly offered to' host a barbe-cue on the deck of her home for thetrustees so they could witness the loudmusic and other violations for them-selves. "We need our quality of lifeback," she pleaded.

Village Attorney Harrison Edwardssaid the restaurant owner had submitted-an application to the Planning Board for,the outdoor bar and awning,'which' were'put in place before the approval processhad been completed. • . ' '

"The owner received a letter from thesuperintendent of buildings to removethe awning and the bar," said Mr.Edwards. He said a summons was issuedand that "Supreme Court action will bestarted if they're not removed by the endof the week."

Mrs. Caracciolo, • representingG.L.O.W. Civic Association, a group ofSouth Freeport homeowners, spokeabout parking and safety concerns, theillegal installation of outdoor canopiesand the "unnecessary noise level" com-ing from businesses along the WoodcleftCanal. • ' •

"The decibel level- has not been

adhered to for two years," despite hermany complaints to the PoliceDepartment, she said. "Why does their(the restaurants) profit infringe upon mylife?" said Mrs. Caracciolo..

"If we have'to go to court to forcethem to remove (the canopies), we will."said Mayor William F. Glacken.'

The mayor also explained at one'pointthat the chief of police had met earlier inthe year with several restaurant ownersalong the Nautical Mile to discuss com-pliance with Village laws affecting theiroperations but that "stricter action, maybe necessary." He added that, "if com-pliance is not forthcoming, we will be inState Supreme Court to get an injunc-tion."

Mr. Taylor complained about exces-sive noise from motorcycles in theNautical Mile area and called forstronger police enforcement.

. . Chief Michael Woodward respondedthat,' during a recent "dedicated law

( • enforcement, 'effort" along Woodcleft,' • officers issued numerous tickets for traf-,

fie violations and that "about half were •.' against motorcycles."

• '. Regarding the overall noise problemChief Woodward said officers patrol the •area to monitor the noise, but at theapproach of a police car, businesses turndown the volume until it has left thearea. He met with several of the con-cerned residents after the meeting to dis-cuss further enforcement efforts.

Commenting on the traffic and park-ing situation along the Nautical Mile,Mayor Glacken said the Village is "inthe process of creating more municipalparking, particularly at the south end of

• Woodsidei" which may take a year ormore to complete, along with other

•options-such as shared parking facilities

Following up on the issue of PCBs atthe Power Plant 2 site that StewartLilker raised at the July 21 trustees,meeting, he asked abou'. the status ofconstruction at the site and the amountof contaminants present there.

Electric Department SuperintendentHubert Bianco said construction actual-ly had not begun and that it was his deci-sion to postpone further work there un t i lthe PCB contaminants are removed.

Reviewing the history of the issue.Mr. Bianco said soil sampling was donein 1993 and the amount of PCBs discov-ered was fewer than 10 parts per million.He said the "correct action" then was tocover the contaminated area with twofeet of soil, "which we did."

However, he said recent additionalsampling in.one area showed a reading"greater than 50 PPM," which slateDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation rules re.quire that the soilbe removed'.

Mr. Bianco reemphasized that the .plant project was "hot shut down. Theproject was delayed by my.self un t i l -the :.

RGBs are removed from the site."Mayor.Glacken added. "The situation

is being dealt wi th in the proper manner.It is not going to be a problem. It willlake a l i t t l e more lime to remove the soiland replace it with fresh f i l l . The plantwil l be bui l t wi thin all the applicablerules and 'regulations."

Vincent Greco, who lives across fromthe power plant site and on several occa-sions in the past has expressed his con-cerns about the health effects of PCBson humans and marine life, urged thatthey "should be removed from (he sitecompletely."

Mr. Lilker "went on to ask the status ofthe lawsuit filed last year againstFreeport by Attorney General EliotSpitzer.

The allorney general filed the lawsuitagainst ihe village Oct. 4 for unconsti tu-tional and discriminatory housinginspections after an 18-month investiga-tion. The suit alleges that village hous-ing inspectors' violated constitutional

willing to negotiate a settlement ratherthan to go to court. Village AttorneyHarrison Edwards explained theVillage's position regarding the lawsuitand the possibility of appeals by eitherside if the case goes to court.

The Village had filed a motion lastyear to have the suit dismissed.

"We're open to negotiate with them,"(attorney .general's office), said themayor, but added that he thinks "theattorney general doesn't have a case."

Development Agency funds betweenCDBG Program Year accounts and tocreate a new budget line item for specialeconomic development.

"I'm concerned about where and howcommunity development funds arespent," said Eileen Weaver.

Mrs. Weaver urged that more funds bespent in low-income areas, "mostlynorth" of Sunrise Highway and "partic-ularly in the northeast."

She asked how much is being spentfor commercial development north ofSunrise and how many residences innortheast Freeport are receiving fundsfor rehabilitation.

Ellen Kelley, director of theCommunity Development Agency, saidthe funds, which were transferred fromolder program years had not been spentand were being used for commercial

Mrs. Weaver acknowledged that pastcommunity development rehabilitationprojects represent major improvementsin Freeport. especially in the south partof the village, "but we have other partsof (his village that need attention."

Summertime on Long Island is one of the bestreasons to live here.

Our public schools, public libraries and hous-es of worship, as well as; private schools andcamps, provide a wide selection of educational,healthy and fun acti vi ties for children. ; ' ':

We get to enjoy bur local parks, preserves andbeaches. All sorts of free concerts and shows areoffered.

We can more easily walk to local movie the-aters, restaurants and stores.

Block parties bring neighbors together for funand also to get to know each other better.

Our local public officials and political candi-dates have the time to walk our neighborhoodsand hear our concerns. . ;

Colorful flowers, bushes and trees brightenour streets. Most days it is a pleasure just towalk around the block.

With so many people away on vacation, eventhe traffic seems less congested.

Sure, there are mosquitoes, noise, burglariesand other negatives associated with summer.But on the whole, most of us feel thankful to beliving here.

AFFORDABLE HOUSINGMEANS?....People have different reac-tions when they hear the term "affordablehousing."

Many, particularly those who grew up inthe boroughs of New York City, confusethe term with "low-cost housing." Theyenvision high-rise projects of great densityand think of the decline of surroundingneighborhoods that accompanied so manyof these developments.

That's not what affordable housing is.The term refers to housing for peoplewhose income is 80 percent or lower thanthe median income of the area. In the caseof Nassau/Suffolk, this would includehousholds earning less than $66,(XX).

According to statistics supplied by theU.S. Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment (HUD), a family of fourearning $66,(XX) technically should pay nomore man $190,680 fora home! Currently,the median home value on Long Island is$3(X),(XX). The fair market rent, whichHUD sets at 35 percent of the'grOss house-hold income for high income areas likeNassau/Suffolk, should be $1045 for onebedroom and $ 1,275 for two bedrooms.

The problem is obvious. Not only ishousing one of the major problems facingthe unemployed poor, it is a major problemfor working people. It is also a major prob-lem economically for the Nassau/Suffolk

• area since many businesses will not localehere because their employees could notfind adequate affordable housing.

Informational programs on - affordablehousing show the categories of workingpeople for whom housing is a problem.They include teachers, nurses, and almostall college graduates beginning their work-ing careers. At the other end of the spec-trum are senior citizens, looking to down-size their living accommodations and find-ing it difficult, if not impossible, to findhousing within their fixed income budgets.

There is a saying , "If you build it, theywill come." For years many suburbanitessubscribed to the opposite. "It you don'tbuild it, they will not come." The "they"were an assortment of types that many didnot want living in their communities. Toomany suburbanites were content that theseworkers provide services for the moreaffluent but they didn't want "them" livinghere.

What many suburbanites didn't reali/.e,however, is that the "them" would includetheir own children who couldn't find jobslocally because businesses would notlocale here. They didn't realize that the"they" would include their parents whocouldn't find suitable retirement housing.

Meanwhile, people needing affordablehousing struggled as best they could. Somelandlords took advantage of their plight.And so we see single-family homes illegal-ly converted lo multi-family use. We seeIhe small quantities of rental housingcarved up into small apartments. And wesee more than one family in many of theseunits struggling to pay the rents which arestill not affordable for only one income.

How ironic. The "they" whom peoplewere trying to keep out are here; the prob-lem is that instead of living in clean, well-

planned, affordable housing, they are liv-ing in illegal, sub-standard housing, paying"off the books" rents to landlords whoseproperties are- not being properly taxed toreflect the extra town and school servicesrequired for their tenants.

Towns are now being asked to come upwith comprehensive plans based on statis-tical needs. While there is much technicaldata that must be accumulated and whilecommunication between towns and devel-opers must be coordinated, somethingmore is needed!

Political leaders, community activistsand residents must work together forgreater understanding. Resident fears con-cerning a decline of property values mustbe addressed. Any affordable housingplans must contain a clear and ongoingmonitoring process so that residents knowthat necessary code enforcement will takeplace, without the headaches that presentlyexist.

It is very easy for all of us to have emo-tional, knee-jerk reactions to sensitiveissues. In the case of affordable housing,the first step must be a real educationprocess so that everyone knows what it is,and most especially, what it is not.

A comprehensive survey, cost-shared bythe Baldwin Chamber of Commerce andthe Town of Hempstead several years ago,pointed out tliauhe main thoroughfares ofBaldwin did not reflect the personal wealthof the community. How different Baldwinwould now look if instead of the unregu-lated proliferation of shoddy and shabbyresidential units along our main streets, a

War on gangsTo The Leader:

As a candidate for Nassau County"Legislature, J plan to declare waragainst street gangs in our communitiesonce elected. It is my goal to see asmany of the major players as possiblelocked up. This must be achieved. OurNassau County Police Commissionerand elected county officeholders mustjoin forces ,with officials from theFederal Bureau of Investigation and theDrug Enforcement Agency. This taskforce of local and federal law enforce-ment officers must concentrate theirefforts 24/7 in the Baldwin, Freeport and

JHempstead communities. We shouldaccept nothing less.

- Enough is enough! People are afraidand, in some instances, local teens havebeen attacked. We should not sacrificeone inch of our neighborhoods to theLatin Kings, Bloods, Crips or any othergroup of unscrupulous individuals.Drugs, guns and ammunition must be'taken off our streets immediately and thethugs dealing in them must be arrested

; and placed behind bars.With gang-related activity on the rise

throughout the county, we must beaggressive and pro-active. As Legislator

, for the 5th District, I will do everything

just writefrom page 5

comprehensive plan of affordable housinghad been undertaken.

The residential portion of our "down-town" could have been a real thrivingmixed-use jewel - well located for youngcommuters, affordable for lower incomeworkers, with transportation, shopping,library, and churches in walking distancefor senior citizens.

Instead, the primary face of Baldwin isblighted with rental housing that detractsrather than enhances and with too manyabsentee landlords indifferent to quality oflife issues. .

As public officials plan for the future,with affordable housing for working peo-ple a high priority, let us do our part tobecome educated and to communicateintelligently with our legislators.

in my power to maintain and, if possi-ble, increase the police department'sgang unit personnel. These officers havemany years of experience and areuniquely qualified to get the job done.This unit must not face elimination;what we must eliminate are these misfitsfrom our streets. We have got to worktogether, neighborhood by neighbor-hood and block by block, to put everygang out of business.- . .

Regime change requiredTo The Leader:We air must continue to raise the rhet-

oric on exposing this absolutely "cor-rupt" administration there"" inWashington led by the "Corrupter-In-Chief' George W. Bush. By "corrupt", Iam not referring to anything for whichwe can put him behind bars for. I amreferring to the continual spin, distor-tion, deliberate misinformation, and the

deliberate passing of legislation which isslanted only to benefit the wealthy "farright", and thus keep him and his cohortsin power. George Bush is already amass-ing .a major money war chest for the2004 reelection campaign, and he ishoping to have the most money .in (hebank of any previous presidential cam-paign of upwards of 250 million dollars.It's my hope that the people here inFreeport and Baldwin, the peoplethroughout New York State, and thepeople in the rest of the country will seethrough all this, rise up, and vote theirreal conscience, and not let 250 milliondollars of purchased slick New York

Justthis year, Mr. Bush pushed through asecond tax cut of some $700 billion.That's billion please, folks, riot million.As he was pushing that program throughwith all the zealousness of a YaleUniversity fraternity cheerleader, hewas insisting that this added tax cutwould add more than one million newjobs by election time 2004. Honest,folks. That was all publicly reported.Just two years before that, in 2001, hepushed through the biggest tax cut thisnation has seen in 25 years, and he wastouting more jobs and more jobs. Mr.Bush showed he was either confused orjust plain telling deliberate falsehoods.Since that infamous 2001 tax cut andnow coupled with this recent second taxcut addition, there has been a continualbuild-up of jobs lost, and the number,

with the above recent July addition, isnow over 1.8 million jobs lost. That,folks, is a lot of people out of work..Those are people who need that income,who need to keep working, but can't.When Mr. Bush was saying more jobsand more jobs, what has really happened- he is right. There has been more jobs

Between 1993 and 2000, the previousadministration showed fiscal responsi-bility by reducing the national debt thatthe previous President George Bush (thefather) had left us. In fact the debt wasreduced to beyond zero to a major sur-plus, that George W. immediatelysquandered. Also during that periodsince our government was showing fis-cal responsibility, there was a jobgrowth of twenty-million new jobs.

Freeporters explore the wreck of the Andrea Doria60

by Bill and Nornia Braun

The Italian luxury liner Andrea Doriamade worldwide headlines when it wassunk in a collision with the Swedishliner Stockholm in July 1956. Of theroughly 1,700 passengers and crewaboard her, all but 51 were saved inwhat has been called the greatest rescueat sea in maritime history.

^civSince the 1980s,.a small but ferventgroup 'of scuba divers have visited herremains each summer to explore, takephotographs and recover artifacts. Butmake no mistake, this isn't diving forthe faint-of-heart. Four books have beenpublished .about the risks involved indiving the Andrea Doria. Because of itsdepth, sea conditions and lure of enter-.ing her maze-like interior, she's consid-ered by many to be "the Mount Everestof diving."

The Freeport-based dive boat SeaHunter III recently returned from a 3day expedition to the Andrea Doria. Co-captains Sal Arena, John Bricker andWes Carman III report that in all, 13divers made a successful • and safe 'exploration of the 700-foot wreck

'which lies in 250 feet of water 60 milesoff Nantucket..

• "When we arrived at the wreck site onthe morning of July 16, we encountereda very strong current which preventedus from diving right.away," explainedCaptain Carman. "But after a 4 hourwait, it subsided and our divers,made itdown to the wreck where visibility wasabout 25 feet and' the temperaturearound 48 degrees.' We saw lots ofmarine life out there, including sharksand schools of dolphin." Many on thistrip are veteran divers of "The Doria"(as it is called by thosefamiliar withher). For seven of the participants, how-ever, this was their first Doria dive.Considering the dive a sought-afterachievement, each completed extensivetraining in this type of scuba divingwhich requires special procedures andequipment.

"The big news on this trip is the con-dition of the wreck," says MarkSilverstein, first mate on the Sea HunterIII and a veteran of 50 Doria dives."Most of the promenade deck has col-lapsed, owing to her near 50-year sub-mersion and.the fact that she rests on

her side. The hole that Peter Gimbelculinto her hull years ago to extract theBank of Rome safe iscompletely gone now. He furtherexplains: "The>ship wasn't built to with-stand the stresses caused by being inthat abnormal -position. We'll probably

now see an accelerated process of clele-"rioralion as more and more of her struc-ture weakens."

What does this mean to future diversof the Doria'? Mr. Silverstein says "It's

Medical center with a missionWhen Mark Raifman entered, medical

school in Guadalajara, Mexico, he began*amedical career that would focus on provid-

=j ing quality medical care to the under-' served. After completing his pediatric resi-dency in 1976, Dr. Raifman took a positionat Peninsula General Hospital in FarRockaway, a medical facility located in ahealth manpower shortage area, (HMSA)working with the Hispanic community. Asa bi-lingual pediatrician, Dr. Raifmanbrought a sense of comfort and reassuranceto the often frightened children in theemergency room when he spoke to them intheir own language.

Today, Dr. Raifman is still reaching outto help the underserved population. TheSouth Ocean Care health center at 101South Bergen Place is celebrating its firstyear of operation with a free Health Fair onAugust 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fairwill offer .a variety of free testing foryoungsters and adults, including bloodpressure screening, vision and hearingexams, .along with many other services, atthe center and in the parking lot adjacent to

the Freeport Memorial Library.^We wantto acquaint the residents of the Freeport.Baldwin, Roosevelt communities with theextensive-medical services offered at ourcenter and let them know we provide, freetransportation to and from our office toassist them in getting to their medicalappointments," explained Jay Raifman.who manages the health care facility withhis brother and father.

Providing free transportation is just oneof the reasons South Ocean Care is 'aunique medical facility. The center offers afull range of quality medical services fromfamily dental care to podiatry, includinggynecology, obstetrics, prenatal, pediatrics,adolescent care, nutrition counseling, ear,nose and throat, cardiology. EKG and X-ray services! At the August 9 Health Fair,there will be staff members fluent in a vari-

-ety of languages available to help peoplecomplete the forms to qualify forMedicare/Medicaid benefits. Youngstersmay play on the moon bounce ride andenjoy free popcorn, face painting, and cot-ton candy.
