Village Board OK's 16.2% tax hike, $41.72M budgetby Jim Golding

Village Trustees unanimouslyapproved the 2002-03 budget of$41,725,200 at a public hearingMonday and in the process zappedFreeporters with a 16.2 percent tax hike.The increase is based on a tax rate of$32.59 per $100 valuation, with thetotal taxable assessed valuation being$77,608,061.

In a second public hearing after thebudget vote, the board also approved acontract between the Village and theVolunteer Fire Department for

$122,000, the same amount as last year.The new budget is about 6.2 percenthigher than the fiscal 2001-02 total.Over the past five years, Village taxeshave risen more than 50 percent.

According to Mayor William F.Glacken, major areas of increasedspending include debt service on the $5million deficit bond of $837,000 forinterest and principal, debt service oncapital improvement bonds of $3.2 mil-lion, increased salary costs throughlabor contracts totaling nearly$913,000, about $560,000 in highercosts for insurance and fringe benefits

and a reduction in total assessed valua-tion of nearly $823,000 because of taxcertiorari proceedings.

The budget also includes pay raises ofabout 8 percent for the Mayor andtrustees, which brought complaintsfrom citizens who addressed the hear-ing.

Following a 20-minute presentationby budget advisor Michael Greene,trustees heard Northwest CivicAssociation President Ken Bagatelleask questions and make recommenda-tions on numerous budget line items formore than an hour.

He was followed by resident Sig Feilewho said he opposed such a large taxincrease, but also praised the adminis-tration for the array, of improvementsmade in Freeport over the past fouryears, including efforts to clean up theVillage. "The Village is a lot cleaner,"he said, and that "Freeporters are proudto be Freeporters again"

Alan Jay, commenting on the increas-ing labor costs, likened the budget situ-ation to "arranging the deck chairs onthe Titanic." He said Freeport is "on acollision course with municipal bank-

He says it would be wrong to take thechildren out of their schools, and theneighboring districts are ill-equipped toabsorb them.

Democrat Steve November, a lawyerwho is also a former teacher, agrees it isimportant to preserve the viability of theRoosevelt schools and to evoke a feel-ing of pride in the community for itsreligious organizations and schools.

Snow trailsNothing compares with the beauty of a new fallen snow. The

trees are all magical. All that is dirty and disheveled is hidden away.A sense of peacefulness and isolation prevails.

Falling in love with a new snow is easy. But not many can lovean old snow. The grey car exhaust,.mixed with sand dirties the edgeof the roads. Dog urine stains surround the trees. Muddy patchesappear here and there, along with rotten leaves and litter.

You have to learn to read an old snow in order to learn to love it.You need to acquire the wisdom to see the thin laborious path

carved by the hunched old lady from her door to the street, and thewide snow-blower path her neighbor made in front of his own

.house and hers later on.You have to be open to wonder to see the rabbit tracks hopping

across the lawn, and the child's boot .tracks following in a perfectpattern.

It doesn't take too much imagination to see that the pile of snowwith a scarf draped over it was once a snowman. It may be harderto detect the lacy patterns where icicles fell.

What looks like pepper scattered over the snow may be whereseeds were spread for starving winter birds.

New snow can hide the footprints of a lost child — or a thief. Oldsnow leaves a trail to follow.

Days after a snowfall, you can see miles and miles of sidewalks,each stretch cut by a different shovel, and a landscape dotted withsnowmen, snow forts and snow angels. Pure joy!

On the sledding hills are acres of ruts, telling of hundreds ofexciting rides to the bottom. And the ice on ponds is crisscrossedwith loop upon loop of graceful swirls and painful falls.

Like the wrinkles on an old face, they speak of life lived in manychapters. While the snow lasts, it tells those stories to those whocan read them.

And then it melts.

INITIATIVES ...'. While many peopleseemed to stagger out of 2001, shell-shocked by recent events, othersended the year more optimistically,planning for 2002.

At the Baldwin Historical Society'sholiday meeting, President JackBryck spoke about his desire to seethe organization revitalized andencouraged residents to join. Thesociety was founded 25 years agothrough the efforts of many people butmost especially through the guidanceand inspiration of James McKeon. Formany years Glenn Sitterly was itscurator, carefully helping to puttogether a collection of Baldwin arti-facts and memorabilia which woulddocument the community's history.

Now the group would like to step upits presence and to encourage people

'new to the community and those unfa-mil iar with the organization tobecome members. Those interested inthings historical or collectible maycontact Mr. Bryck at 623-8984.

Another lifelong Baldwinite andactivist looking to bring about changeis Kevin Kamen. Mr. Kamen is wellknown in the community for his over20 years of service on the LibraryBoard of Trustees and his leadershipwith the Baldwin Auxiliary Police.

Disgusted with the proliferation ofillegal signs and notices on poles andposts around Baldwin, he called apress conference at the Long IslandRail Road Station before the holidaysand invited all the local politicians.Around him were scores of illegalsigns that he had taken down himselffrom around the community.

At 7:30 a.m. they arrived. StateSenator Dean Skelos held his morningcup of coffee. County LegislatorJoseph Scannell was there as wasAssemblyman Bob Barra and Town ofHempstead Councilman TonySantino.

Mr. Santino promised to contact thetown's attorney and highway depart-ment to see about stepping upenforcement and removal of signs.Mr. Skelos likened attention to thesequality of life issues to the initiativesintroduced by Mayor Guiliani in NewYork that set the tone for that city'sturnaround. And most importantly, theinteraction among the politicians -three Republicans and one Democrat- was cordial and cooperative, apleasant sight to witness.

Mr. Kamen was adament in advis-ing residents to tear down the illegalsigns. He stressed that people shouldnot fear any repercussions in remov-ing these signs, which are a visibleindication of a deterioration that isimposed on a community, generallyby outsiders. The signs are illegal and

there are both county and state lawswhich prohibit them.

As the new year begins, it is timefor all of us to move out of the lethar-gy that cold weather sometimesencourages. It is one thing to becomea homebody and engage in "cocoon-ing." It is another to be apathetic.Now is the time to step up ourinvolvement in community affairs, totake pride in the improvements whichhave already taken place - facadeenhancements, new streets and side-walks and a new train station - andlook forward to the expansions of thefirehouse and library.

But community improvements arenot simply structural; they are attitu-dinal as well. And so, we must moveinto 2002 with the firm resolve to doour part in bettering and enliveningthe place where we live.

Freeport H.S. Chorus

I saw an outstanding performanceseveral times last week on News 12Long Island Cable of our very ownFreeport High School Chorus, under thedirection of Steve Pagano, as they did abeautiful Christmas/Holiday seasonmedley. Outstanding job! I particularlyliked the rousing closing piece of "FelizNavidad." Great choral work, greatchoreography, great enthusiasm, andgreat postiveness - the later two items of

which I think we all need, especially atthis time of the year, and as we head intothe year of 2002.

I'm going to get this group's scheduleas to their next evening concert, and go.I urge everyone else here in Freeport todo so also. I think we all can benefitfrom good, uplifting music, especiallywhen it's coming from the children ofour own community.

want their children bused. The Fuschilloand Hill bills reconciled would repair"crumbling" schools and helpSuperintendent Horace Williamsimprove the administration.

If they had to absorb more students,neighboring districts would have a diffi-cult time preserving class size andspending as much per pupil.

Mr. November believes that as amember of the majority in theAssembly, he could be more effectiveon behalf of the area. He could workwith the Democratic County ExecutiveThomas Suozzi to push for tax incen-tives for "Mom and Pop" stores to relo-cate to Nassau Road and help shoulderthe tax burden, and also to improve thetransportation system.

Mr. McDonough, who is president ofthe Nassau County Council ofChambers of Commerce, is encouragingmember chambers to support theFuschillo-Hill legislation and also wantsto attract industry to Roosevelt, provid-ing jobs and helping to pay the schooltaxes. There is space available, he says.The Town of Hempstead and itsIndustrial Development Agency couldalso provide tax abatements, he added.

Although he hopes Roosevelt's cur-rent crisis is averted by the time he orMr. November takes office, there wouldstill be much to do, he concluded.

The seat was vacated by RepublicanKate Murray, who was elected the firstfemale Clerk of the Town of Hempsteadin November.

As the Chamber'scoordinator for the downtown revital-ization, coordinating all levels of gov-ernment, state, county and town, wehave made significant strides in improv-ing our downtowns," said Mr.McDonough. "The opportunity to runfor the New York State Assembly willafford me a greater opportunity to con-tinue my life's work of community serv-ice."

Mr. McDonough has served fourterms as president of the MerrickChamber of Commerce and was an orig-inal member of the Merrick DowntownRevitalization project. A founding mem-

ber of the Bellmore-MerrickCommunity Wellness Council, he hasalso been a member of the MerrickKiwanis Club for 18 years.

"I look forward to this campaign anddiscussing the issues of importance," hesaid. According to'Mr. McDonough,"To ensure a quality education for' thechildren of the Roosevelt SchoolDistrict I support legislation introducedby Senator Fuschillo that will keep theirschools open through the authorizationof a complete state takeover, removal ofthe board, and an increase in state aid tothe district. With respect to FreeportPower Plant 2,1 have and will continueto support the position of the communi-ty, 'clean it up or close it down.' Thetime has come for an environmentallysafe energy facility."

by Paul LaursenThe installation of county and town offi-

cials was celebrated last week."This is a time for service - public service -

service to our country and to our county...I callupon our residents to answer a call to partici-pate in the victory over the crises we face,"said new County Executive Thomas Suozzi atceremonies at the Tilles Center at C.W.Post.He later noted that "our greatest and mosturgent goal is to solve the county's fiscalcrises."

He announced the following executivedirectives:

•"...a county wide hiring freeze, overtimefreeze and purchasing freeze."

•The county will implement, together withthe labor unions, "an employee evaluationprocess to reward employees based on perfor-mance and not political connections."

•."We will audit all county departments and

County, town officials installedcounty contracts, to discover exactly whatcaused the fiscal morass we now find our-selves in and to develop a roadmap to get usout of it."

•"We will form a department of specialinvestigation to root out waste, fraud andabuse."

• "We must immediate commence with thedevelopment of our four-year-financialplan..."

Richard Guardino, the RepublicanSupervisor of the Town of Hempstead, toldthis newspaper that the new DemocraticCounty Executive "did an excellent job" withhis speech. "His ideas about managementwere good, freezing overtime, hiring and pur-chasing, and controlling expenditures. He'soff to a good start."

Mr. Guardino added that he was "touchedthat his entire family was together to witnessthis event."

Mr. Guardino gave his own speech in a cer-emony on Friday when he was inducted for athird term.

"The Town of Hempstead is fiscally strong.We have held the line on taxes for threeyears," he reported, noting that "expenses donot exceed revenues...operating costs are keptstrictly under control."

He reported that the town's bond ratingswere upgraded last month, giving the town diehighest bond rating for a town or county onLong Island.

"In 2002, we are not contemplating cut-backs or freezes but rather expanding our pro-grams and moving forward with an extensivecapital program to improve our parks, pre-serve open space, revitalize downtowns andrepair our roads and parking lots.

"We have just completed a program to rein-vest $25 million in our parks in the town. Wewill continue to improve our parks with an

additional $40 million in capital improve-ments," Mr. Guardino added.

"This past fall we completed our 500-footfishing pier at Levy Park [in Merrick] and ithas proven popular with not only our anglersbut bird-watchers and photographers as well."

Mr. Guardino noted that at Levy Park adump was transformed into a "50 acre sanc-tuary for nature, plants and animal and aserene setting with spectacular vistas andwalking trails, and an eight-acre plateau."

He announced that "We will open our firstskate park in Baldwin in the near future andit will be an exciting and safe place forour young skateboarders."

lective bargaining by governmentunions that has resulted in the escalatinglabor costs that form a large part of the•budget increase. He said the resultwould be more residents and businessesfleeing the area. "We can't go on likethis," Mr. Jay said.

Residents also called on the board to! reject their proposed pay increases.

"I request you not take the raises youmiraculously decided to give your-selves," Stewart Lilker urged, pointingout that raises had not been discussed atbudget hearings held in early December.

"It's wrong. This is not a rich commu-nity; it's working people. Sixteen per-cent is an outrage," he said.

Mayor Glacken attempted to justifythe pay hikes, saying they were neces-sary for Village officials' salaries to fol-low CSEA (Civil Service EmployeesAssociation) standards. He also saidthat, during the first two years of histerm, he did not use an official Villagecar and paid his own expenses.

The mayor also pointed to other
