77th Year, No. 34 Freeport. N.Y, 11520 The Community Newspaper Thursday. August 23. 2012 75t
Together we make it work
Annually, athletes from the Association
for Children with Down Syndrome and
Freeport community members join forces
canoeing throughout the canals of
Freeport. Adults from ACDS (based in
Plainview) and Freeport families,
employees, residents, business owners,
friends and even Scouts meet weekly dur-ing
the summer to paddle together and
practice techniques, water safety and
social skills. Every two-person canoe car-ries
an athlete and Freeporter to maneuver
around the water, docks, boats, and even
swans! More than 50 participants join the
festivities!
At the culmination of the season,
races are held at the Milburn Boat Basin!
A course is layed out with balloons and
the event was official with a green flag
and a huge checkered flag! The dock is
always crowded with parents, families,
friends and many more cheering on the
participants! Enthusiasm is enormous-win,
second or last - it does not matter!
This year medals were awarded to the
winner of each heat and certificates
were given to all participants. A total of
seven races competed for the gold!
Gold medalists include Caroline
Colucco, Danny Carraccio, Michael
Levey, Danny Makar, Annie McHale,
Katie McGuire, and Brian Schiralli.
Congratulations!
The Rescue Squad viewed the activi-ties
for safety and even an ice cream
truck with free treats came to add to the
celebration.
The event was a huge success and
everyone is looking forward to the com-petition
in 2013! A special thanks to all
those involved during the practices and
the "Main Event." There had to be many
sore muscles!
To see the expressions on the faces of
the athletes is worth a million!

cited at Village Board
by Linda Delmonico Prussen
Freeport's mayor, Andrew
Hardwick, apologized repeatedly for
the incident regarding visiting El
Salvadoran vice-president, Salvador
Sanchez Cer6n, on August 8. He said
at the Monday night meeting, "To
anyone that I offended I sincerely
apologize. I meant no malice to any-one."
He added, regarding his mili-tary
service, "I'd still be willing to
lay my life down for this country."
Mr. Cere"n has been vice-president of
El Salvador since 2009. According to
multiple reports Mr. Ceren participat-ed
in anti-U.S. demonstrations in San
Salvador only days after the
September 11,2001, terrorist attacks.
The mayor pleaded ignorance
regarding Mr. Ceren's background,
and indicated he was not alone by
showing magnified photos of several
local Republican politicians who also
met with Mr. Ceren; among them
were Nassau County Executive
Edward Mangano, Town of
Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray,
and Hempstead Town Couneilwoman
Angie Cullin. Mr. Hardwick said he
was certain they too, were unaware of
Mr. Ceren's history. . J (continued on page 3)
