When will Freeport's Power Plant 2 shut down?

cvGO

•S§<wJwEH

by Laura Schofer

If the state Department ofEnvironmental Conservation has thefinal say, then Freeport Electric will berequired to shut down the dieselengines that now supply 17 megawatts .of electric power at Power Plant 2 byNovember 30. But that depends on therecommendation made by the DEC'S-Administrative Law Judge. MollyMcBride to Erin M. Crotty, the DEC'sCommissioner. Judge McBride heardtestimony last Wednesday, September3 at Freeport's Village Hall on "theonly issue that separates us," said PaulCasowitz, the attorney who representsthe Village of Freeport. That issue isnot- if-but when the diesels at -PowerPlant 2 are put out.of service.The Village of Freeport asked for thishearing because the New York StateDepartment of EnvironmentalConservation intends to modify theTitle V Permit of the Village ofFreeport Power Plant 2, requiring thatthe diesel engines burn low sulfur fuel(.02 percent) and be in compliancewith NOx emissions and paniculatematter as required in the federal gover-

•ment's Clean Air Act. Freeport mustalso run the diesels only under emer-gency situations and the Curtis WrightTurbine at Power Plant. 2 must berestricted to running no more than 130hours between May 1 and September30 to keep emissions low. The DECwants the diesels permanently shutdown by November 30.

The parties involved in . th i s hearing. include the DEC, the .Village ofFreeport atid NewTork Public InterestResearch Group ( including the OldLindenmere Civic Association).- Thepermit was originally issued in 1998and expires on November 30. TheVillage of Freeport applied for a newpermit in May of this past year foranother five year period.

• The Village of Freeport has agreed toall the requirements requested by theDEC except for the shut down date.The. village wants the diesels to contin-ue to run until the new electric.genera-tor, the LM6000, is up and runn ing . .

But the DEC believes that Freeportis using delay tactics to keep fromshutting down the. diesel engines"which cannot meet paniculate or NOx[nitrogen oxides] requirements," FranzLitz, attorney for the DEC told JudgeMcBride. In his May 8 issues confer-ence, Mr. Litz said "Any further delayis unwarranted."• The village asserts that unforseen

delays have stalled the project, includ-ing approvals by the Public ServiceCommission about the placement ofgas and electric transmission lines aswell as. the recent discovery of highconcentrations of PCBs, polychlorinat-ed biphenyls, found at the site ofPower Plant 2.

"We are not attempting to delay theLM 6000," said Mr. Casowitz in hisopening statement.

But Mr. Litz refuted this statement.He put into the record several exhibits

Freeport Electric, was the first witnesssworn in. His Pre-filed direct testimo-.ny was placed into the record. In histestimony, Mr. Bianco discussed thehistory of the new power plant projectand the objections of neighbors to theold diesels. He explained that Freeportwould build one LM6000 generatorwhich would provide more than 40megawatts of power for the Village ofFreeport. He also talked about the

power agreement w i t h ilic Long IslandPower Author i ty (L1PA). which wouldpermit LIPA to buy 10 megwalts ofpower from Frecporl's LM6000 and 47megawatts of power from the pr ivatedeveloper, who would build a genera-tor on the site of Power Plant 2. Mr.Bianco explained that there would bean addit ional 30 megawatts of powerto allow Freeport to meet the excess ofits peak summer demand over itshydropower allocation.

But Mr. Lit? was most interested inwhy there have been so many delays inconstruction of the new LM6000. "OnJanuary 8. you expected completion of

The community newspaper - the glue that .helps hold a community together,

and the spur that helps keep it moving forward.±~ • - ,.

September 11, 2001:We will never forget

On a drive in the countryside upstate this past weekend,in almost every little town we passed, we saw. Americanflags and yellow ribbons and "We support our troops"signs displayed.

And all of this came about because of the terrorist attackon the World Trade Center and the Pentagon two yearsago. They say there is no one in this whole wide countrywho does not know one of the 9/11 victims in some way.

And yet it is here, closer to New York City, where yousee more references to the Twin Towers.

No one here feels as safe as they did two years and a dayago. If all the red, white and blue ribbons were to disap-pear from schoolyard fences and all the neighborhoodmemorials become overgrown, we would still rememberthat terrible day.

But, September 11, 2003, is not a day for wallowing inself-pity. It is a reminder that should strengthen ourresolve to build a better community, a better country anda better world for the future.

September 11, 2001, showed us how neighbors couldpull together. We suddenly discovered what seemed to bealmost superhuman powers, surely given by God.

We found love is stronger than hate and building is theanswer to breaking. And when the lights went out in therecent regional blackout, we discovered New Yorkersbehaved much better than they did in the 1970s, the lastbig blackout.

While the fall of the Twin Towers initially brought a lotof anger and hatred, it also, eventually, awakened so muchgood and healing love.

Come to a birthday partyMerrick Life, the community newspaper, was born in

September 1938, and. this is its 65th birthday. So it seemednatural to invite everybody to a piece of cake at our boothat the Fall Festival on Merrick Avenue close by whereKarl Anton, Jr., established Merrick Life's first officesnear the railroad station in Merrick.

SOMETHING ABOUT BASEBALL...There's something about the game ofbaseball. It doesn't matter if it is aLillle League game, a community soft-ball game, a erueial homcsland serieswhen a lot is at slake or even the WorldSeries. People enjoy watehing baseball.

Perhaps one of the reasons for thisinterest is that at one time or anothermost people have played, even if it wasjust a low-skill version of the game.Some years ago, when Michael Jordanthought he could play professionalbaseball, I remember that formerYankee player and then current Yanke'eannouncer Phil Riz/,uto said that hedidn ' t th ink that Jordan would be suc-cessful.

Despite Jordan's being a fantasticathlete with great eye-hand coordina-tion, • Riz/uto said that trying to hit afastball required a whole different ski l lset. (OK, sk i l l set wasn't the term thatRi/zulo used), but his predictionproved true. Baseball isn't as easy as itlooks.

It looks as if the average personcould do what the professionals do.After al l , almost all of us have thrownand caught a ball,-and we have all evenmanaged to hit a ball occasionallyalthough I ' l l grant that the pitch wasprobably thrown by players as equally

inept as ourselves. But the bottom lineis that we did play.

The other thing about baseball is thatthere aren't too many complicatedrules. Even if occasionally in profes-sional baseball some obscure rule isnecessitated once in a decade, for themost part the rules are simple. Three•strikes and you're out. Four called ballsand you go to first base. If you makecontact with the baseball and get to thebase before the ball, you've gotten ahit.

There aren't a plethora of crazyfouls, offsides, and other complicatedregulations that require even the pro-fessonal umpires to look at replays. Inbaseball, right or wrong, the umpire'sright and the game goes on with rela-tively few arguments or team-rumbles.

Last week I went to see the SomersetPatriots with my daughter and son-in-law when my husband and I vistedthem in New Jersey. Now that's funbaseball.

The team belongs to the"Independent" League which I gather isbelow triple A, double A and single Aminor league. For sure, after watchingsome of this game, everyone in thestands could identify with the playersand believe that maybe, just maybe,they, too, could also get out on the

field.I don't know if any player in this

league- has ever managed to actuallyplay in the majors, but the outing is realentertainment for the spectators.

The tickets range from $5 to $12.Parking is easy and plentiful. There aregive-aways between every half inning -dinner for two at Applebee's, anovernight at a Courtyard Marriott, aDVD" from P.C. Richard. There arequick dances, competitions and other

activities between innings in whichgood-natured participants are wi l l ing tomake fools of themselves.

And unlike Baldwin's own and theYankees long-lime announcer BobSheppard, who is class and elegancepersonified, this ballpark's announcerhas a series of computerized .musicalresponses thai keep you laughing.When the shortshop hobbled the ball,

by Joan DelaneyPrivate 1st Class Robert. J/McKenna,

who was killed on duty on February 22,1966, is well-remembered by his motherDorothy, his 16 siblings, his localfriends and his military' colleagues. OnMay 7 of this year he was furtherremembered and honored by the State ofGeorgia at a ceremony commemoratingthe inscription of his name on thememorial at the State of Georgia PublicSafety Training Center in Forsyth.

PFC McKenna, "Bobby" to his fami-ly, was a 22 year old military policemanwho had been drafted and had servedonly eight months in the army. Heshould have left for a tour of duty in VietNam the day before, but he was required •to be present for a court date arisingfrom an arrest he had previously made.

On February 22, two local men whowere drunk, one a former • soldier,approached the gate at Fort Gordon.Unbeknownst to McKenna, they hadalready robbed an area business.According to Mrs. McKenna, the formersoldier knew that MPs did not, at thattime, have bullets in their guns. Bulletswere kept on a belt carrier. After beingstopped at the gate, the former soldiertold his accomplice, "They don't havebullets," placed a gun to McKenna'shead and shot and killed him.

Mrs. McKenna said that she hadprayed every day since he was draftedthat Bobby would not have to go to Viet •Nam. "I had a hard time getting overthat, but I have the consolation of know-ing where he is." A framed prayer, writ-ten by her brother-in-law, speaks of theloss of her son but notes that Bobby "is

. with Him (God), his eternity secure."Bobby was first honored in May, 1966

when the Army named Gate One. thegate where he was stationed, theMcKenna Gate. Now. through theefforts of Bobby's friend. RogerSargent, the MP whom he replaced atthe gate, PFC McKenna has been furtherhonored.

This most recent honor was-sponsoredby the Georgia Peace Officers Standardsand Training Council, which trains mili-tary police throughout the state.McKenna's name was inscribed on-theirmonument and his family received a

magnificent medal on which his name isalso engraved.

Mrs. McKenna described the emotionof the ceremoney. "It was hard for me;my legs were shaking: I didn't think Icould attend the ceremony, but mydaughtef'lold me to sit down and rest,and then after a while. I Was able to goin." She-likened her emotions to thoseshe feels each year after Baldwin'sMemorial Day Parade at which she ishonored as a Gold Star Mother.

"There's the honor for Bobby, but

then afterwards it's really hard."She feels comfort in the honor, how-

ever, knowing that her son would haveappreciated it. Several years before hedied, he had attended a funeral for afamily member who received militaryhonors. She said, "Bobby told me thatwhen he died, he wanted that "Taps."Bobby's body was accompanied toBaldwin by mi l i t a ry escort and hisfuneral at St. Christopher's Church.

To The Leader:After a letter to the editor and speak-

Ourvillage needs effective, responsibleleadership!

On Saturday, September 6, whilebands blared ampified music until 11:30p.m., calls were made to the Freeport

Calls to Trustee Donald Miller gounreturned, and he states that he is onNautical Mile, on his bicycle, everyweekend observing conditions. Uponcalling Trustee William White, he wassomewhat annoyed to be receiving acall at 11:30 p.m. - how ironic!

Baseball, I think, really is a relaxingexercise for fans. Golf is too intense -everyone has to be quiet as the profes-sional lines up the ball, tests the wind,and inspects the lie of the ball and thecut of the. grass. Most importantly,every fan knows that there is no wayfor an amateur to come close to repli-cating the consistency and accuracy ofthe pros.

Tennis is exhausting, even to watch.Side to side, back and forth, speed ofserve, volleys, overheads, baseline ral-lies - all in 95 degree heat and humidi-ty - count me out.

Skiing, snowboarding, and ice skat-ing - my ankles ache and I get cold justthinking about it.

lectors. You can really get hurt and•those audible cracks and crunchesmake me wince.

But baseball has an appeal. No mat-ter, .what your ability, you can playsome semblance of the game withoutkilling yourself or anyone else. Nowonder it's the national pastime.

And locally, whether you're aYankee' fan hoping for another pennantand world series win or a Mets fan whohas had long practice in the hope of"maybe next year" there's always thatadded hometown team interest.

Granted, baseball isn't what it usedto be. Now we see players chase themoney and owners who price at ten--dance at a stadium or even watchingthe game on television beyond thereach of the average fan.

But even with all the changes,there's nothing like it - the players areannounced, everything becomesquiet; the National Anthem is playedand then the umpire yells, "PlayBall."

The web of life: the South Shore Estuariesby Laura Schofer

"We live on an island thai is 15 mileswide and 110 miles long. It means we aresurrounded by water; it's everywhere,"said Jeffrey Fullmer, Executive Director

. uf the Long Island South Shore EstuaryReserve Council. "But because of devel-opment, especially in Nassau County,

. there are people who live here that haveno connection with the water. It's time tochange that. It's time to connect the dotsfor people."

Estuaries are defined as costal areaswhere fresh water mixes with salt water.They are "our lungs," said Mr. Fullmer."The estuaries are very biologically pro-ductive. They provide food, shelter forbreeding, buffer from storms," he said.

"Much of life starts in the estuaries."The South Shore Estuary Reserve

Council was created in response to theLong Island South Shore EstuaryReserve Act of 1993. The Council, whoseoffice has been located i'n'Freeport sinceJanuary, acts as a clearing house for otherorganizations who work together to pra-serve and restore the estuaries, developlocal economies and provide educationabout the unique ecosystem which sur-rounds our home. The South ShoreEstuary Reserve Council was alsoresponsible for creating a ComprehensiveManagement Plan (CMP) that is a blue-print for the protection and restoration ofthe estuary's natural, cultural and eco-nomic-related, resources that took sevenyears to complete. The CMP dependsupon the willingness of many govern-

mental as well as non-governmentalorganizations to work together to pre-serve the water quality, local economyand cultural traditions attached to theestuary. The plan, adopted in 2001, wasreviewed in August 2003 to examine itspriorities and determine what has beenaccomplished. "Its a living document,very fluid. We can adapt it as the timeschange," said Mr. Fullmer.

The CMP says that "the shallows sup-port microscopic plants and animals,which in turn support the finfish, shell-fish, waterfowl and other wildlife thattypify the South Shore estuary."

There are extensive areas of shallowwater and salty marsh islands connectedby channels and tidal creeks here in thewestern bays subregion. This regionincludes the Town of Hempstead to the

Nassau-Suffolk County line, HempsteadBay and South Oyster Bay as well as allthe lands that drain into them. Accordingto the CMP, it is the most densely popu-lated in the Reserve and "habitat loss andwater quality problems have had a nega-tive impact on most of the estuarinespecies in the western bays," says theCMP. However Mr. Fullmer said that"despite all of this the estuary [in thewestern region] is still hanging in there.It's not dead. We just need to give it somebreathing room. They are resilient."

Mr. Fullmer explained that at one timemost of the wetlands "were-consideredswamps, not worth much except to fill inand build on. After World War II suburbia

from page 11took over much of our farm land finNassau County]. The maritime centers[such as Freeport, and Port -Jefferson]which are still hubs of commerce for fish-ing and boating are in a sense differentfrom the rest of suburban development.People in other communities viewed thewater differently, more as a quality of lifeissue instead of a way of life. We hopepeople in the other communities will nowunderstand the importance of the estuar-ies."

Mr. Fullmer believes that the biggesthurdle to keeping the water pristine is toreduce nonpoint source pollution. Non-source pollution is defined as runoff fromstormwater, precipitation, atmosphericdeposition, drainage, human waste dis-charges from vessels, excrement fromwaterfowl and discharges from municipalwaste water treatment plant outfalls in thewestern bays.

The 2001 CMP states that because ofelevated levels of coliform bacteria, therehas been a closure "of 15,575 acres ofshellfish beds in the western bays and theperiodic bathing closures of Zachs Bay[Jones Beach] and Biltmore Beach [inMassapequa]." At Jones Beach there is asewage treatment plant. There are severalsips in the Long Beach area. The mostmodern and updated plant is at CedarCreek in Seaford.

What can be done to reduce non point• pollution? . ...

"There is no magic bullet when itcomes to solving the problem of npnpointpollution. We have 3 million people liv-ing on Long Island (including Brooklynand Queens). There is a natural conflict,"

said Mr. Fullmer, "We've developed thewetlands [i.e.housing, roadways]; clearlywe've altered the natural systems. It's adomino effect." He used the example ofwaterfowl. "Now we have large concen-trations of geese on Long Island becauseland use has changed and we have opengrassy places. Humans create new habitatfor species that perhaps are not native.We developed Long Island and then welooked at our- resources," said Mr.Fullmer. "We have to figure out how tobalance everything:"

Local governments recognize the need' to address this issue. "There is a commonthread for all levels of government. Thepriorities [with regard to water quality]do not conflict on the village, town orcounty level," said Mr. Fullmer. Headded that Freeport and[

has been particularly enthusiastic abouthaving the South Shore Estuary ReserveCouncil in Freeport. "He has made usfeel as if we are very much an importantpart of the community," he.said.

"We just need to figure out ways toreverse negative impact to water quality.On a federal level, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency's Phase Two StormWater' Regulations are mandatory andmust go into effect by 2008. Each munic-ipality had to file a notice to the DECabout their plan," said Mr. Fullmer.Notices had to be filed by March of 2003.

Since the implementation of the CMP,a storm water work group, was estab-lished by the Department of State andCouncil to provide implementation part-ners with technical expertise, on stormwater runoff' issues. The Town of

Hernpstead is digitizing existing maps ofits storm water infrastructure; there iscontinued baseline water quality moni-toring in the Town of Hernpstead. TheCity of Long Beach will begin construc-tion to upgrade their waste water treat-ment plant. At Jones Beach State Park,on-site septic systems were removedform the park's nature center, police bar-racks and residence area by the stateOffice of Parks/Recreation and Historic-Preservation. However, the sewer systemat the site needs to upgrade some of itsprocesses and has two. years to do so,according to the DEC.

"The CMP recommends beyond mini-mum control measures. Let's do this in away that works for other priorities aswell," said Mr. Fullmer. Those other pri-orities include expanding public use andenjoyment of the estuary; sustainingwater-dependent businesses, sustainingmaritime centers and 'increasing educa-tion and outreach.

"No one entity can do it all.Traditionally people think of a singleentity who will fix it. It's'really partner-ships, a coalition, that you need to beeffective. It's important to pool resources,both governmental and non-profits.People need to know who to go to andwho to work with. We can help withthat," said Mr. Fullmer.

The Long Island South Shore Estuaryis always looking for new partners andprovides presentations to groups interest-ed in working .to preserve the estuary. Formore information call 470-BAYS.

"We must care about the estuaries.This is.where life begins," said Mr.Fullmer.

several areas in helping to close theachievement gap," he said, "but westill have much work to do."

Under- regulations adopted by theBoard of Regents in July, schools canbe categorized as Satisfactory, in Needof Improvement, in Corrective Action,Requir ing Academic Progress, orUnder Registration Review.

School districts were • notified lastmonth regarding the accountability sta-tus of their schools and given anopportunity to verify the data used tomake accountability determinations.School districts must now ensure thatidentified schools develop improve-ment plans, provide public schoolchoice and supplemental educationalservices to students as required, andnotify parents and the public about theactions that wil l be taken to improvestudent performance in selectedschools. As of now, the StateEducation Department has approved113 providers of supplementary educa-tional services for parents to choosefrom. More applications are beingreviewed as well.

Freeport Superintendent of SchoolsDr. Eric Eversley released the follow-ing statement concerning the stateannouncement: "We are aware that

' Dodd Middle School has been placedon the Title 1 - Schools in Need ofImprovement, Year 1 list for mathe-matics and English Language Arts. Weare confident that our 2002-03 mathe-matics scores will show that we havemade great strides in the number of'Dodd students achieving state stan-dards. The district is currently talkingto the state regarding our placement onthe list for English Language Arts. Asour most recent eighth grade resultsdemonstrate, we had a 57% increase inthe number of students who achievedstale standards in English LanguageArts. While we still have room forimprovement, we have made signifi-cant progress in this area. I am veryproud of our Dodd Middle School stu-dents, families, teachers, staff andadministraiors for all of iheir hardwork to meet and exceed state stan-dards in English Language Arts andmathematics."

Baldwin hero rememberedfrom page 6

back in 1966, included military honors.His name was also inscribed on the

National Law Enforcement . PoliceMemorial in Washington, D.C. whichpays tribute to those in law enforce-ment who have been killed in the iineof duty.

Mrs. McKenna spoke of her faithwhich helped her and her late husbandEdward, who'died in 1977, raise their 17children and cope with their son's death.

She noted that the father-in-law of oneof her son's killers wrote to the familyshortly after the tragedy. "He told us thathis son-in-law was a good man, that hiswife was expecting their second child,that he was in bad company and hadbeen drinking. He asked us to try to findit in our heart to forgive him."

She added, "I could forgive him, but..." and then she shook her head beforeshe continued. "The one that said thatBobby didn't have any bullets, the onewho had been a soldier, who put a gun tohis head..." and then she became quiet.

None of the members of the McKennafamily attended the trial, at which bothmen were convicted and received longterm sentences.

Speaking of the soldiers serving now,particularly in Iraq, Mrs. McKenna saysthat she prays for them every day. "Theyare so far from home, and it is so badover there."

Six of Mrs. McKenna's sons served inthe military. "Ray, Eddie, Thomas andRichard were in the Navy; Philip was inthe Air Force and Bobby was in theArmy. Jimmy and George didn't have togo because they had that law that if abrother was killed, the others didn'thave to go."

PFC Robert J: McKenna, "Bobby."will always be .remembered. At the cer-emony on May 7, a contingent of sol-diers from Fort Gordon came. to paytheir respects. Also present were someof the men who served with Bobby 37years ago.

"I looked at them; they had gray hair,and I thought of what my Bobby wouldhave looked like. They told me what awonderful person my son was. When hedied, the priest from the base told methat he was a good boy. His friends here.Eddie Murphy, Arne Langvard and ,Terry Weiss, all remembered Bobby as agood boy. He never hurt anyone; healways helped the neighbors, mowedtheir lawns, and not for pay."

Robert .McKenna attended MilburnSchool and Baldwin Junior HighSchool. He graduated from BaldwinSenior High School in 1961. He workedfor Nassau County before he was. draft-ed and had served as a military police-man for only six months before he waskilled.

In its May 9 edition, The Signal, anewspaper -published for theDepartment of Defense and the FortGordon community, noted the statementmade by Maj. Gen. Walter B.Richardson in 1966 when a plaque wasunveiled at Gate One designating it theMcKenna Gate and a citation was readposthumously ' awarding an ArmyCommendation Medal to McKenna.General Richardson said:

"The fact that his assignment placedhim in what might be called a peacefulenvironment in no way detracts from thefact that his death was just as much inthe line of duty as that of the soldier whodied on the battlefield of Viet Nam."
