A rainswept St. Valentine's Day lastweek did little to dampen the spirits ofNassau County Executive Thomas R.Suozzi and Nassau County LegislatorJoe Scannell, as they bridged theirchasm of difference over where to per-manently house Nunley's Carousel byannouncing that the historic amuse-ment would ride once again on NassauCounty's Museum Row.

The carousel has been in storagesince it was closed and dismantled in1995 at its Sunrise Highway site inBaldwin on the Freeport border, whereit had been a fixture since 1939. Thecounty purchased the ride for$854,400 in 1998 to save it from beingauctioned off, horse by horse.

Museum Row, on Charles LindberghBoulevard in Garden City, is alsohome to the Cradle of AviationMuseum, the Children's Museum ofLong Island, the Long Island Museumfor Science and Technology and theNassau County Firefighters Museum.

Said County Executive Suozzi of thepermanent carousel move to a newlocation, "This one-of-a-kind carouselhas a special place in so many people'shearts, and I am thrilled that we will begetting it back in operation in a central-

ly located new home so that all the res-idents of Nassau County can enjoy it.

"Nunley's will join our all-star line-up on Museum Row, giving people yetanother great reason to visit."

Joe Scannell's support imperativeLegislator Joe Scannell (5th LD),

who last year had heated words withMr. Suozzi over Mr. Suozzi's decisionto relocate the horses and carousel toOyster Bay at the request of the town -with restoration paid for by LongIsland singer-songwriter Bill Joel -and who promised to disrupt theDemocratic agenda in the Legislatureover the move, struck a conciliatorytone.

In a phone interview with The Leader,Legislator Scannell's aide LuAnn Limaindicated that Mr. Scannell's communi-ty development monies of $430,000, aspromised, would still go to the restora-tion of the carousel horses. "Joe made apromise and he will keep it."

The bid process for the restoration ispresently underway, with responsesexpected by mid-March.

She said that as much as Mr. Scannellwanted to return the carousel to Baldwin,it became clear that it would be better

located at Museum Row with otherattractions such as the Cradle of AviationMuseum and Children's Museum.

Although many Baldwinites would havewanted to retain the carousel, its placementbecame an ongoing controversy, with resi-dents near Silver Lake opposed and othersites not deemed satisfactory.

Also, Ms. Lima said. "Many peoplethroughout the county donated money,particularly the Pennies for Poniesdonors. It became clear that the carousel .should be located at a place whereeveryone could enjoy it."

Additionally, the county's proposedcapital budget, which is slated to bevoted on during the next several months,now contains SI million for thecarousel. Future costs, such as those forthe maintenance and the running of thecarousel, would be the responsibility ofthe county.

"Joe wanted to make everyone happy.In the end. it just seemed that locatingthe carousel at Museum Row workedout best for everyone. This decision \\illbring closer to completion the dream ofrestoring the carousel and making itavailable to everyone." said Ms. Lima.

Indeed, Mr. Suozzi praisedLegislator Scanneli's efforts to movethe project forward. "Joe Scannell hasrepresented his community's interestsvigorously while finding commonground to make the Nunley's re-open-ing a reality." Mr. Suozzi said.

Some $450.000 in discretionary capi-tal funds has been earmarked for therestoration. Additionally, $1 million incapital funds are proposed to build thestructure to house the carousel, and areawaiting legislative approval. The

county is seeking bids to do the restora-tion work, which is scheduled to take ISmonths.

The ride - which has 41 horses, onelion, two chariots and a Wurlitzer 153-band organ - was built in 1912 by thenoted carousel building team of Steinand Goldstein, and its first home wasan amusement park in Canarsie. Of the17 carousels built by Stein andGoldstein, Nunley's is one of just threethat remain.

Students play crucial roleThe county's students have played a

crucial role in preserving the carousel.Rachel Obergh, a student at theProgressive School of Long Island inMerrick, started a fundraising cam-paign last year to pay for Nunley'srestoration. So far, 15 schools haveeach raised $2.000 in the Pennies forPonies campaign, enough money torestore 15 ponies.

Rachel, an eight-year-old third-grad-er from Wantagh, told The Leader thatshe was thrilled the horses and carouselwould be put into a museum so thatthey could be maintained for kids toride them.

Both the Children's Museum andthe Cradle of Aviation Museum offerprograms in which BOCES will buschildren in from underserved commu-nities to get a chance to ride thecarousel. "This will give those kids achance they wouldn't have other-wise." she said.

Rachel's mother Beth noted thatschools could adopt a horse to help inits restoration.with additional reporting by JoanDelaney and Douglas Finlay

What does global warmingmean to us?

The oldtimers knew what they were doing, it seems.Archeologists only recently learned that the firstEnglish settlernerit'in the New World at Jamestown!established four centuries ago, does not lie under the.James River, as they once thought, but on the top of ahill nearby. And the historic French'Quarter of NewOrleans was among the first to bounce back after•Hurricane Katrina because it too was on higherground. . , -

1 Accusations fly about why Louisiana lags behindMississippi and Alabama In rebuilding after that dis-aster, but maybe part of it is a loss of faith inmankind's ability to build defenses against theonslaughts of the sea, especially in the face of globalwarming. Which brings us closer to home.What does global warming mean to residents of theSouth Shore of Long Island? Many of our homes wereactually built on fill along the bays. Others are evenon the barrier beaches. In recent decades, it has beenharder and harder to get homeowners insurance, letalone flood insurance. :

As soon as the Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange (www.ipcc.ch) came out with its conclusionthat global warming is almost certainly caused byburning of fossil fuels and that we can expect a sealevel rise of up to 23 inches and increased flooding by2100, local environmentalists made a call to action.

Adrienne Esposito, executive director of theCitizens Campaign for the Environment, said, "Weneed to support alternative energies like wind andsolar power and implement successful energy-effi-ciency programs."

This is not just a matter of risking devastation froma major hurricane such as Katrina. We are playingRussian roulette with a gun in which every chamber isloaded, unless we can reverse the trend of globalwarming within our own lifetimes.

HONORING MOMS.-There is, per-haps, no more committed a group thanmoms who are protecting their children.

I recently returned from a conferencein Washington, D.C. representing a vol-unteer group that I belong to. In additionto attending several days of workshops, Iwas present at a dinner during which agroup of morns was honored for a proj-ect that they undertook in a violent areaof Los Angeles, although "project" isprobably too sophisticated a word todescribe their actions.

These women, disgusted with theonce a week homicides, includingdrive-by shootings, which were killingtheir children, established "Comunidaden Movimiento." Scores of womenstood on street corners, before and afterschool, providing a human shield andprotection for their children.

Eventually, funded by the CatholicCampaign for Human Development,they were able to expand their work,become better trained and learn to com-municate with local police as well as themayor's office. Street patrols by police,some on bicycles, resulted. The audi-ence applauded as it was announcedthat since 2003, there have not been anyhomicides in the community.

There were tears in the eyes of thehonorees as well as those in the audience

during the presentation ceremonies. Ithought of a discussion that I had recent-ly with my daughter's brother-in-lawwho worked for a well-known senator!When decisions were made, this electedofficial was often heard to comment,"It's amazing how much can be accom-plished when you don't worry about whogets the credit." None of these womenwas looking for credit, just results.

Watching a video of these women inaction was inspiring. Some, I suspect,don't speak English. Many would beignored if they individually %valked intoa public office and tried to get help.

Together, however, with their workenhanced by some professional expertiseand financing, their hopes are being real-ized. Together they have strength. Butfirst they began with a small group ofmothers who did something very simple— they stood on a street corner to protecttheir children.

These immigrant women have accom-plished what many more educated andmore affluent people cannot seem toaccomplish. In their simplicity, theywent out and did what had to be done.Over 50 women make it their business torotate responsibility and provide havensof safety for their children.

I thought of many of my own commu-nity's local concerns as I stood to

applaud these women. How many of ushere on Long Island complain but don'tbother to expend any personal effort. Onthe day of my return, picking up mail atthe post office, I overheard a man askingthe postal clerk where Baldwin's TownHall was located. He had a complaintabout a sidewalk.

While I applauded his effort to voice acomplaint, I wondered why he didn'talready know anything about who repre-sents him and where they are located.

People remain victims until theybecome both committed to a cause andknowledgeable about how to get action.These mothers in Los Angeles, at first,did only what they knew how to do.They physically took to the streets andput their own bodies in danger for thesafety of their own children. Only later,with funding and assistance, could theybecome more sophisticated in the "howto" of community activism.

We have numerous community organ-izations already in existence to deal withmany local concerns. Most recently,years of effort by members of theBaldwin Chamber of Commerce arefinally showing results. Elected officialsand potential developers are finally see-ing Baldwin as a community withupscale retail potential and years of land-lord abuse, at least in one section of

town, will hopefully come to an end.The women of Comunidad en

Movimiento, without formal education,instinctively knew that if they wantedchange, they would have to be the peopleto bring about that change. They beganwith what might have been considered afutile as well as dangerous gesture - theyput their own lives on the line.

As community residents, we must askourselves just how committed we are toimproving our lives and the lives of ourchildren. Then, instead of complainingor expecting someone else to expend theeffort, we must get involved. If theseLatina women of Los Angeles couldmanage to become organized, whatexcuse can we possibly have for ourinaction?

At numerous community meetings,former County Commissioner of YouthServices George Siberon used to say thatthe future of our children, particularlyregarding the lure of gangs, required afour-pronged effort - government,schools, churches, and families.Whether it is gangs or other communityproblems, that four-pronged approach isnecessary and effective. There isstrength in numbers and strength incooperative effort. Let us initiate dia-logue that will produce the practicalactions necessary to solve real problems.

Baldwinites respond enthusiastically to revitalizationby Joan Ddaney

Hundreds of Baldwinites liked whatthey heard and saw when they bravedthreats of a winter storm on February 13 toattend a community meeting heldbylbwnof Hempstead Councilman AnthonySantino concerning the proposed five-acrerevitalization at Grand Avenue andMerrickRoad.

Preliminary, professionally preparedproposals include a mix of high qualityretail stores with attractive architecturaldetails and landscaping. Names likeBarnes and Noble, Old Navy, and higherquality family restaurants were mentionedas potential tenants for a commercial proj-

ect intended to be the "economic enginefor Bakhvin...to make it a retail hub, athriving downtown which will improveproperty values."

Adding to the frequently expressed"hoptM feefing,** was Aeta^mlrBb^xdollars will be required. The selecteddeveloper will shoulder the full cost for theacquisition of property and construction.

'X)ur goal is to attract quality, first classretail tenants," said Mr. Santino. CharlesTheofan, commissioner of planning anddevelopment, stressed mat the long-termsuccess of such a project is tied to the qual-ity of the developer. He said, "Retailersrely on that reputation."

Mr. Santino presented an historic

overview of the project Noting that thetown's goal is primarily one of commercialrevitalization for a community that hasbeen "underserved in terms of qualityretail," he spoke of a project that will be

"aesthetically a showplace and an econom-ic benefit to the town." The plans showeda variety of architectural details such as agazebo or fountain. One plan depicted a

Although square footage varied, allplans showed a mix of retail - an anchorstore and a series of auxiliary stores - abank, a book store, a family restaurant."There will be no more nail salons orChinese restaurants," Mr. Santino said.Later, commenting on one of the proposalswhich included apartments, he added, "Iwill not support any residential develop-ment here."

After two hours of presentation andcommunity questions and comments, Mr.Santino asked for a show of hands relativeto several ideas which had been broached."Who wants residential?" - a questionwhich prompted a loud "No." Who wantsassisted living? Another suggestion whichsaw no community interest. "Who wouldprefer a mix that would include stores likea Barnes and Noble, an Old Navy, a restau-rant?" Almost in unison, hundreds of peo-ple raised their hands.

Positive buzz abounded at the conclu-sion of the meeting as people inspected thepreliminary plans that were on display.They talked among themselves about thefacts that they had learned and the rumorsthat were dispelled.

The five-acre revitalization, it wasexplained, became necessary after over adecade of "on again, off again proposals."With the county's decision not to move theFirst Precinct to that site finallyannounced, the town took the lead in theneeded , revitalization. Mr. Santinoexplained that prior plans to begin a facadeimprovement on the west side of the street,similar to that on the east side, saw littleinterest by landlords. Additionally, the

buildings were in a deteriorating state.Last year, the town hired planning con-

sultants to conduct a blight study. The siteconformed to federal guidelines definingblight, particularly regarding vacancy ratesand building condition. This allowed thetown to proceed with plans to take theproperties under the laws of eminentdomain, a municipal right recently re-con-firmed in the 2005 Supreme Court deci-sion Kelo vs. The City of New London.

During the past year, the town hiredappraisers to determine the value of theproperties. By law, two independentappraisals must be secured, although own-ers retain the right to sue in court for high-er amounts. Mr. Theofan noted that devel-opers are generally extremely generoussince they are eager to negotiate and com-plete the deal. Recognizing that owners arein limbo, still paying taxes but oftenunable to rent their properties, Mr. Theofansaid that the project is on a fast track. "Weare doing many things at once."

Last month the town issued a Requestfor Qualifications, the first step in assuringthat any interested developers have theexperience and financial backing to makethe project work. "We have some of thebest Long Island developers interested -Breslin, BF Development, Phillips,Avalon, Basser-Kaufman and the EngelBurman Group," he said.

Once the RFQs are inspected, the townwill send out an official Request forProposals (RFP). The details in that docu-ment will reflect construction require-ments, town preferences, as well as resi-dent input.

"We promise that we will communicatewith residents," said Mr. Santino. Mr..Theofan added, "We will make sure that

local papers announce when every publichearing on the development will takeplace. Resident input will be importantright up until the time the town must voteon a plan." They added that the townretains the right to approve the tenant mix.

One after the another, over a dozen resi-dents stepped to microphone to providesome of that input "Bear in mind that thisis a precedent," one man warned. "Youmust pick something that is really right"

Responding, Mr. Santino explainedsome details. He said that while the blight-ed area extends to Gale Avenue and acrossonto south Merrick Road, FullertonFuneral Home and Delicious Momentscaterers will remain. All the buildingssouth of the firehouse and around ontoMerrick Road, including the HudsonApartments, wall be eliminated.

It is intended that Baldwin Kitchens andBath will move to the south side ofMerrick Road. Owner Howard Gainsburg,a 40-year owner of the business which hasexisted at that site since 1929, spoke of theproblems he encountered with fears forsafety. "You don't know what it is like towalk your daughter to the car at night"When he said, "This project is right forBaldwin," he received an ovation from theaudience.

Speaking of the residential single-familyhomes on Gale Avenue, Mr. Santinopledged that no homes would be taken byeminent domain. In a later phone conver-sation with his executive assistant EdwardT. Siehan. The Leader was told that an"arm's-length conversation" could takeplace privately between the developer andthe homeowners to see if they would bewilling to sell 100 feet of their very long

backyards which abut the proposed site."Under no circumstances would the towntake that property by eminent domain."Renters in apartments would be re-locatedaccording to regulations contained in theFederal Uniform Relocation Act with sub-sidies for a period of time, if necessary. Mr.Sieban said that "all relocations would beto legal apartments."

Also noted was that Nassau County hasagreed that their property over die culvertwhich runs under the western portion ofthe site could be paved and used for park-ing but not for construction of buildings.

Promised was a traffic study "before, notafter the project is completed." Mr. Santinoenvisioned a pedestrian friendly area,"People going to the library, bowling, stop-ping for lunch, buying a book, buying apair of jeans for their kids. This will attractpeople from out of town - Merrick,Roekville Centre, Freeport, coming here toshop."

Residents also applauded when Mr.Theofan said, "From today, we will be wellinto construction and completion in twoyears." Explaining that the town is "doingmany things at once," he estimated that arequired environmental impact studywould be completed by mid to late sum-mer.

He anticipated few legal delays,although he acknowledged that attorneysspecializing in condemnations oftenapproach owners promising free represen-tation in return for a percentage of anythingextra they collect in payment above theprice offered by the developer. "My expe-rience is that the developers are extremelygenerous." No zoning changes are needed,although some variances may be required.

In responding to other questions, Mr.

Santino announced that it is his under-standing that Nunley's carousel will belocated at Museum Row (see article else-where in this issue) and that die last time hespoke to county Legislator JosephScannell, he was told that funding is inplace to re-locate the First Precinct to thesite of the Huntington Learning Center intoa new building, with the existing spaceused for parking.

(In speaking to Mr. Scannell 's aide,LuAnn Lima, The Leader learned that theHuntington Learning Center site is nolonger under consideration. "They boughtthat and are happy there." Instead, thecounty is looking at two other possibili-ties.

One is to locate the precinct behind theexisting building and then, after construc-tion, use the original site for parking. Thesecond is to re-locate the precinct to thepresent site of the Antique House, Thatpossibility is presently being discussed andnegotiated with the owner. The county hasalready allotted $500,000 for the design ofthe new precinct.)

Mr. Santino's belief that the revitaliza-tion project will create a "dynamic and per-manent change" seemed to resonate withresidents. Looking at the plans, residentKaren Montalbano told The Leader, "I hateto see the old buildings go, but we had todo something. The businesses didn't reflectthe homes in Baldwin. Pm all for it We doneed a shot in the arm and I am hopeful."

At the Community Meeting hosted byCouncilman Santino, CommissionerCharles Theofan encouraged residentswith questions about the revitalizationproject to call his office. That number is538-7100, extension 350.

FOR FIVE YEAR-OLDS, movementhelps themremember theirmath: Miya Pierreand Najae Carboncelebrate 100days of school byjumping.

100 days at Columbus!It was a sea of red at the Columbus

Avenue School as teachers, faculty andkindergartners gathered in the gymnasi-um for the annual 100th Day of SchoolCelebration.

Since September, the youngsters ha%'ebeen participating in a variety of activi-ties allowing them to gradually count to100 - a key concept in their math learn-ing. Last Monday, they sported redshirts, skirts and pants for the culminat-ing ceremony of jumping, singing andenjoying a beautiful cake with candles.

Principal Peggy Miller said involvingthe youngsters in hands-on activitiesover a period of time allowed them tobegin understanding the number 100.She said children at this age have diffi-culty comprehending quantities much

beyond their age.Projects the children worked on

since the beginning of the school yearwere displayed in the hallways. Onewas a poster with a child's name writ-ten on it 100 times. Another youngstermade a necklace using 100 fruit loops.All of the kindergarten teachersworked with their students collectingand counting paper clips, pictures andother items.

Event coordinators Raquel Lucas andMichelle lannuzzo acknowledgedeveryone's participation. "Our teachers,faculty and parents did a great jobpulling this program together," Ms.Lucas said. "The children love this cele-bration and enjoyed all of the activities."And they accelerated their math skills.

believe it. Plus, you'll get America's top-rated Internet service.* And unlimited calling
