'I wo more giant steps in the multi-yearNassau County Reassessment process havebeen announced by Charles O'Shea, theBoard ol Assessors Chairman. Releasedlast week was a list of the tentative totalwealth figures for the county, broken downby school district, and a mailing to all resi-dents has begun, containing some vitalinformation.

Local total average ful l market value ofeach residence by school district and thechange in the share that the district con-tributes to the total county value due to theproposed reassessment are Baldwin,$286,593, -7.56 percent; Freeport,238,970, -13.22; Bellmore, 363,697, +0 76;Merrick, 419,437, +0.12; North Bellmore,307,723, -2.13; North Merrick, 314,258,+0.12;'Seaford, 316,895, - l . i l ; Wantagh,338,963< +0.30.

The full market value of each home inthe county has been determined by a con-sulting firm, Cole-LayerTrumble (CLT) byvisiting and photographing every one. The.figures have been amassed and computer-ized, and percentages have been extracted,showing the change in the amount that eachschool district,contributes 4o the totalwealth of the county.

These percentages pertain only to thecounty portion of the total real estate taxbill, which accounts for 21.45 percent ofthe total. Most of the tax, 63.33 percent,goes to the schools and libraries, while thetown gets 9.99 percent and special districtsget 5.23 percent. The impact of the newfigures on each town or special district,hav6 yet to be released. - - -• ~

Real estate* in the county is,divided jnto-four classes: private homes, co-ops andcondominiums, utilities, and all' others^including commercial. This report is for"private homes only, with similar reports forthe other groups to follow.

~ More important than averages will be,information in - a mailing _ frdm theAssessor's_off ice to-each "home, scheduled

to begin this week. Mailings to all localareas were scheduled to begin July 15,except to Freeport and Baldwin, wherethey will begin August 1.

Among other data will be the preliminaryfull market value of the property. It isdefined as "the typical value of your prop-erty if sold on the current real estate mar- •ket," by CLT.

If the homeowner is satisfied, with theassigned value, he need do nothing else,but keep "the document in a safe-place Ifthis number is deemed to be inaccurate by-,the homeowner, he should call for anappointment to review the data af 873-9701within 15 days of receiving the letter.Appointments will be available untilNovember 15. -

On January 2, 2003, the preliminaryassessment will be reclasstfied as the tenta-tive assessment. The tentative assessmentis defined as "the final assessed value ofyour home that may only be reduced by taxexemptions for which you may qualify." Ifnoaction is taken before November 15, thetentative assessment will equal the prelim--inary assessment, Less~ any - applicableexemptions, it will be the amount on whicha homeowner's October, 2003 school'tax,bill arid January, 2004 county arid town taxbijls will be based. To simplify matters, theassessors have chosen to use one percent ofthe futt market value as the assessed value.

The mailing will also include data onwhat the effect of the reassessment wouldhave been had it been done a year sooner.

, Using the "amount on money needed to be_ raised be each taxing entity, last year's reallax and-whatjt would have been, had the

,new assessed values been in place, will belisted. This comparison's required by statelaw, although it has-no actual bearing on*what the new real estate tax values will be

Politicians participatein parents' protestas principal partsby Joan Delaney

In a unanimous vote on July 11, theBaldwin Board of Education approvedthe recommendation of Superintendentof Schools Kathy Weiss not to rehireuntenured Brookside School PrincipalSheryl McBeth.

The issue has provoked intense con-cern among parents in the BrooksideSchool community who have rallied andorganized in support of their principal.Many allege that the decision is racist.Present in support of the principal andparents were Assmblyvvoman EarleneHooper and County Legislator PatrickWilliams, who both represent portionsof Baldwin. Brookside Elementary .draws students from Freeport's StearnsPark neighborhood.

Newly elected Board President JamesScannell read a statement in which henoted his desire "not to misspeak," butto be "deliberate and reflective." He saidthat he regretted his call to adjourn theJune board meeting contributed to resi-dent frustration, acknowledging thatemotions ran high. He referred to the"maze, of rules and legalities" and"potential litigation" which prohibitboards from commenting publicly onpersonnel matters. He assured residentsthat the board's "inability to responddoes not mean you're not heard."

He then, summarized his understand-ing of their concerns but stressed that anemployee's expectation of privacy aswell as the district's desire to allow anemployee to "move on with reputationintact" overrided the desire of residentsto know details.

Both Assemblywoman Hooper andLegislator Williams did not, however,mince words. Ms. Hooper called the dis-trict racist,. saying that "in AlbanyBaldwin is known as racist." ,

One parent referred to comments byDr. Weiss in an article in Newsday inwhich she said, "Baldwin's black par-ents are just as likely as the white par-ents to expect their children to becomedoctors and lawyers..." The parentnoted, 'That's one of the most racistcomments I've ever heard... We are doc-tors and lawyers."

Legislator. Williams said that hewould bring "the full power of myoffice to investigate the situtation" andAssemblywoman Hooper said that shehas instituted procedures to "file suitbefore the Commissioner of Education."

Another parent advised the board to"search your hearts" and to "look

around you." He said that the "board,administration and staff do not reflectthe audience you see before you."Trying to respond to charges that the allwhite board does not adequately repre-sent the community's diverse popula-tion, board member William Edelmanspoke of board members being reelectedand the lack of minority candidates forthe board. He began to say, "You folksdon't run for the board," and was inter-rupted with comments like, "Stop nowbefore you dig yourself deeper."Another woman said, "Your commentsare not politically correct. You owe usan apology. You have no idea howoffensive the comment 'you folks' is."

The board allowed 15 minutes ofaudience comments before its votealthough normally residents are notallowed to speak until the conclusion ofthe board agenda. Despite requests formore time, after somewhat more thanthe allotted 15 minutes, the board wentinto executive session to further discussthe issue. When board membersreturned to public session, they casttheir votes.

When it became clear that the meet-ing would move on to address otherissues, the Brookside parents walkedout quietly to regroup outside the build-ing. There, attorney Douglas L. Thomasdescribed the process of appeal to theCommissioner of Education, saying thatthe district would have three days torespond. He spoke of procedures where-by the Commissioner could mandate astay of the board's decision until heissues his decision.

Assemblywoman Hooper continuedher allegations that Baldwin is known asracist, saying, "When I sit around thetable in Albany on the [Assembly]Education Committee, we don't giveBaldwin any discretionary moneybecause everyone knows that Baldwinand Superintendent Weiss are racist."

In later conversation with The Leader,Deputy Superintendent Lee Chapmansaid that he does riot know what discre-tionary monies AssemblywomanHooper is referring to, since Baldwin isnot a poverty-level district eligible forspecial monies. "We have receivedgrants from many of our legislators," hesaid, though he added, "We don't get adime from her."

Parents pledged to organize, tobecome more familiar with the educa-tional political process and to run twopeople for the board.

Helmet Law unnecessary

To The Leader:~I am wri l ing to express my displea-

sure at Charles Fuschillo's newly spon-sored helmet law. The law requires ehil-dren under the age of 14, years old lowear them while riding scooters. A sim-ilar law was passed several years ago forbicyclists.

Why would someone he opposed to aseemingly innocent, prohahly helpfulordinance? Because we shouldn I find itnecessary to legislate common senseevery chance we get. We shouldn't writelaws for the sake of wriling laws. Thiscomes loo close for my com fort-lo ad-ing as the parenl for our children. As ifwe needed Senator Fusehillo to comeand point out every possible circum-slance a child could gel hurl, and thentry to make laws accordingly. And then,God forbid,.our child scrapes their kneeon a hike or scooter. -We either pay a -fine, or hang our head in shame becausewe neglected'our children. Because webroke the law..

Lei's understand some things.Children wi l l get bumps and scrapes,cuts and bruises while growing up. Ithappens and they hopefully learn from

Ihose'occurrences. 11'is up to the parentslo watch, guide,' instruct and correct asthey see needed. We don't need theadded pressure of ihinking what the lawsays about ihis. 1 don't like governmentparenting the parents. .

I have four kids. I know the coordina-tion skills of each of them. Some I needto watch extra carefully, work withlonger lo give them a sense of balanceand securily. Olhers catch on quickly. -

Yet there is risk in all of iheir learning.

I don't think it is Senator Fuschillo's jobto search out the statistics from theemergency rooms across the natiolicome up with a new law to impose his'.ideas of safety for ;our children. Photo.opportunities with children are notenough to convince me for a need forlegislation.

I can't help but wonder if someonefrom out of town is visiting me withtheir kids and their. kids bring theirscooters along to have innocent fun.

Then oruheir first trip aroundthe blpcka police-officer stops th.etn and g'r?es

"-.them a tickef for not ha'ving a helmet.They would be confused. Their parentswould be appalled.. And they should be.They would, think'', as I would, thai thepolice officer shotildjind something bet-ter to do. Thai is whatT think 'of this»leg-islation. Senator Fusehillo should findsomething better to do.

The community newspaper - the glue thathelps hold a community together,

and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.

Too young -but too old?

. Every summer brings out the large groups ofyoung people, too old for many organized activ-ities and too young to get into most local gath-ering spots. They need more safe places to"hang out," especially at night.

Over the years all sorts of solutions have beendeveloped, many of which required hard work.Hopefully, there will always be new people tostep forward and work on it.

Your community newspaper includes a lot ofinformation" on events that can be used to plansummer fun. And that would toe the key word, toplan.

Serendipity is part of what makes specialmoments click. But so is planning. You can buya season permit to the beach, pin a list of open-air concerts on your bulletin board, surf the weband come up with many things that could helpchase boredom away. Not everything has to costa lot of money.

In a way, looking at the endless summer andfiguring out how to earn money and how tokeep from spending too.much of it and still havefun is a good introduction to adulthood.

Of course, money is not always the problem.There are plenty of young people who live inbeautiful homes and drive beautiful cars, yetstill can't find the fun. Your community news-paper wants to help.

We welcome stories that include suggestionsabout entertaining ways to spend the summer,especially the evenings, and print as many as wecan.

We are all very lucky to live here, close to thebeach, to beautiful parks and also to New YorkCity, which many still call the capital of theworld.

No one should ever be bored or. unable to finda place to be with friends. That is really a waste.

What can we do to help?

JUSt \A/rite t>y joon dolonoy•DEFINITIONS What is racism?According to many black parents whosechildren attend Brookside School, theBaldwin School District is racist. Is ittrue?

I suppose at a certain level we willfind out because Brookside SchoolPrincipal Sheryl McBeth, who was notrehired has indicated that she will be fil-ing suit against the district and its super-

. intendent. In comments after the JulyBoard of Education meeting, she out-

. lined alleged comments by the superin-tendent and certain teachers which shedescribed as racist.

Assemblywoman Earlene Hooper andCounty Legislator Patrick Williams alsoreferred to racism as did numerous par-ents who spoke to the Board ofEducation. Mr. Williams said that hisoffice will investigate the situation witha view to protecting Mrs. Me Beth'srights. Ms. Hooper has said that she hasfiled a suit before the Commissioner ofEducation and-has spoken personally tohim about the issue.

She also alleges that the EducationCommmittee on which she sits routinelydenies discretionary monies to Baldwinbecause the district is perceived asracist. Is that true or is it politicalrhetoric? And if it is true, one wonderswhy members of that committee did notpursue the problem?

School board members deny thatracism was a factor in their personneldecision and stress that they work hardto represent all of Baldwin in all itsdiversity.

Perhaps we should explore the actualdefinition of racism. According to thedictionary, racism is V belief thathuman races have distinctive character-istics that determine their respective cul-tures, usually involving the idea thatone's own race is superior and- has theright to rule others." It is also defined as"a policy of enforcing such assertedright... with a system of government andsociety based upon it."

In contrast to this definition of racismis perhaps a more pertinent one aboutprejudice. The first dictionary definitionof prejudice is "an unfavorable opinion

or feeling formed beforehand or withoutknowledge, thought, or reason.". A sub-sequent definition adds, "unreasonablefeelings, opinions, attitudes, especiallyof a hostile nature directed against aracial, religious or national group."

If we are honest, we are all prejudicedto some degree, though hopefully we arenot all racist. We often form our opin-ions, on many different issues and aboutmany different people, based on our per-sonal and limited knowledge and experi-ence. Some people are overtly preju-diced and exercise those prejudices inanger and even violence. Others of usare prejudiced, and truly do not evenrealize it.

In the past, community advocateshave espoused that the district's HumanRelations Committee have a more pro-active focus. As someone who attendedthat committee's meetings for years, Iwitnessed how difficult it was to getcommunity participation. Perhaps thetime has come for that group to reissueinvitations to appropriate community

representatives and to sponsor some sorlof non-accusatory but mind and heartstretching program on the. subject.

Since none of us is without prejudice." neither are we immune from misspeak-

ing and not understanding why a partic-ular word or phrase is so emotionallycharged.

Many;white people left the July boardmeeting still not understanding why theterm "You folks" provoked such hurtand outrage. On the other hand, severalblack residents referred to the fact thatthey were "not like Roosevelt," a com-ment which I am sure would haveenraged people in that neighboring dis-trict. ' .

Every one of us at one time or anoth-er and to a greater or lesser extent hasbeen insulted by prejudicial commentsand attitudes. We have all, I feel equallysure, been guilty of prejudice. In thisspecific case, however, what remains tobe seen is whether racism was a factor inthis decision, whether the BaldwinSchool District has a pattern of policies

or decisions that are legally racist 01whether the district allows people in iisemploy lo engage in racist behavior.

Presently there are two black princi-pals in Baldwin; one replacing a blackprincipal who retired. Baldwin has ablack district director of pupil services.There are numerous staff members whobelong lo various minori ty groups.

It is ironic that the chi ldren ofBaldwin, at every level, study curricu-lum and participate in activities tluil dealwith conflict resolution. In fact, one dayI overheard several grammar schoolyoungsters who were playing on myblock. One child said to the oilier. "Youknow when you do that, it really makesme mad." I marveled at the matur i ty .

One can only wonder why moreadults are noi as well versed in thoseconflict resolution skills and why thissituation, which has reached such hurt-ful and harmful proportions, could nolhave been-resolved in a more positiveand productive way for all concerned.'

Shethanked them for their support and thendescribed alleged comments made to herby Dr. Weiss and some teachers adding,"This is not over. I will seek restitutionfrom this district and Kathy Weiss." Sheadded, "The union President [whoteaches at Brookside School] thinks sheis .God on a throne."

In public comments one parentreferred to rumors that "13 teachersthreatened to walk out if Mrs. McBethstayed." Another parent asked if ,"aboard member whose spouse works inthe school would remove himself fromthe decision." Mr. Scannell, whose wifeis a teacher at Brookside School, saidthat he did not think that was necessary.Outside the building some ascribedteacher discontent to, the fact that Mrs.

McBeth challenges their culture, workand comfort level.

Referring to the sacrifices made soblacks could vote, Attorney -Thomasadmonished parents, "It's criminal youdon't vote; you've gone lo sleep; you'vegot to identify every minority parent inBaldwin; you've got a lot to do; you'vegot to be able to count the number ofvotes."

Legislator Williams said, "You're real-ly at the embryonic stage which is anger.Channel that anger and organize. Yourchildren's lives are at stake."

As the meeting inside concluded, Mr.Scannell noted the importance of allow-ing the "healing process to begin."Regarding the selection of a new princi-pal, he agreed that the district wouldstudy ways to bring parents into theprocess earlier, a criticism leveledagainst the district earlier this year byparents on the Lenox School principalselection committee.

The process wi l l include advertisingin the New York Times. However, sincethe screening and inlcrvicw proceduresare lengthy, he said (he district wouldhire an interim principal, perhaps bring-ing back a retired principal, un t i l a qualified full- l ime principal could he select-ed.

Another black parent said. "I pray youmade the right decision because you'regoing into areas of protests and lawsuits.I'm uncomfortable with the whole siula-tion because I see where it can go."Referring to perceptions of racism, headded, "It's the kind of th ing (hat unitespeople. It plays on fears."

Speaking of (he behavior and al t i tudesof teachers..another parent added. "Nowyou've got a rift and the kids know it."

Concluding (he meeting, only aftereveryone who wanted lo. speak washeard, Mr. Scannell (hanked residents. "I •appreciate your endurance and compas-sion," he said.

FISH-SHAPED PLAQUE DECORATEDElementary School.

by Heather Klopfer

Theodore Roosevelt once said that"...the prosperity of our people dependsdirectly on the energy and intelligencewith which our natural resources areused." The Theodore Roosevelt NatureCenter at Jones Beach provides anextraordianry outlet to recognizejust that.

Located at the West End beachessite at Jones Beach State Park, thecenter hosts both indoor and out-door display areas to educate thecommunity on the importance ofrespecting our ecosystems.

Throughout the indoor part of themuseum," simulated displays andfish tanks provide insight on theLong Island Salt Marsh, the localspecies whose habitats - flourish inthe state park and surroundingareas, as well as provide sections on"What Can You Do?," which discuss theimportance of pollution prevention andhow marine life is strongly affected bygarbage introduced into the ecosystem.

Surrounding the Nature Center is a1/3-mile-long boardwalk. Built acrosssand dunes and grassy areas, the walkdisplays various educational panels todescribe and exemplify how "All LivingThings Are Interconnected." One spe-cific panel on display, titled, "The DuneEcosystem - An InteractiveEnvironment," provides many facts,some of which are not common knowl-edge.

For example, it is stated here that"Dragonflies help control nuisanceinsects," whereas many people mayhave just assumed that that was just therole of the common spider. Also sur-rounding the boardwalk are nesting sitesfor the piping plover, a bird indigenousto the Long Island area, and a play-areafor children titled "Mystery BonesDiscovery Cove," where kids can prac-tice paleontology and explore differentmarine life bone types and structures.

The Nature Center, in conjuction withthe Long Island Power Authority, usessolar energy and passive geothermalprocesses - both of which are friendly tothe environment - to maintain both airconditioned and heated facilities year-round. Aside from providing the facili-ties themselves, the center also stressesthe importance of interacting with ourenvironment. Local schools, such asMerrick Community Nursery, ParkAvenue Elementary, Saw MillElementary, and Baldwin SchoolDistrict Summer Elementary, have allbegan to do their part by decoratinglarge, fish-shaped plaques that are hungaround the Center's outer walls.Information about the Center can be

"If classical, music is declining, thanspirituality,is declining." These are thewords of Herb Rolhgarber. who has held42 annual student recitals in his Freeporlhome since 1960. Flutes, lablas, a cello,drums, pianos and a gong are the prima-ry decorations in Mr. RothgarberYhousenear Cow Meadow Park, where he writeshis music.

A retired music teacher and choraldirector at Oceanside High School, pri-vate teacher and founding member of the,30-year-old Long Island ComposersAlliance, Mr. Rothgarber describes him-self primarily as a composer and apianist. He jokes,-"Piano is my forte."Although he once" performed with hiswife at Carnegie Recital Hall, he did notelaborate on (ahem) how to get there.
