a letter from the
publisher The coronavirus crisis that erupted in March and carried on through early June in New York shook all of us to our core. Freeport, however, remains strong. It is a community full of fighters. Superstorm Sandy, which ravaged the the village, proved that. The storm pummeled our shores, but it never defeated our indomitable spirit to survive and thrive. Just as we saw in Sandy's wake, neighbors are now helping neighbors through the Covid-19 Stuart crisis, delivering food and medical supplies to Richner vulnerable residents, providing meals for the jobless and just checking in on one another. Thankfully, as of this writing in early July, the coronavirus infection rate had dropped below 1 percent in New York. Let us hope and pray it remains at or falls below that level so people remain safe, and we can continue Freeport’s successful reopening of the economy. That will depend on all of us doing our parts — wearing our facial covers, maintaining social distance — not only today and tomorrow, but also likely for months to come. Throughout the crisis, the Freeport Herald Leader continued to provide invaluable news to the community, incuding information on institution closings, new safety protocols and, unfortunately, remembrances of lives lost. I want to thank our journalists for their commitment to the Freeport community. Our staff, categorized as essential workers by Governor Cuomo, were out in the field regularly, even during the height of the pandemic, to ensure people who work and live in Freeport had access to the best and most up-to-date information. Additionally, Richner Communications, the parent company of the Freeport Herald Leader, was proud to provide $500,000 in small business marketing grants to entrepreneurs across the South Shore, including many in the village. We know small businesses are the lifeblood of any community — especially Freeport — so we are hopeful these funds will help your favorite stores and restaurants get back on their feet. In this edition of our annual community guide, we look at all that is wonderful about Freeport, at the same time that we examine what has changed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Living In Freeport is a special publication of the Freeport Herald Leader, the hometown newspaper of the village. Living In is published in cooperation with the Freeport Chamber of Commerce, and we are honored to mark another year as the chamber's official publication. We hope you find this issue of Living In Freeport useful and informative, and that you enjoy reading the Freeport Herald Leader 52 weeks a year.

he Long Island Arts Council at Freeport held its annual Arty Party Brunch on Nov. 3 at the Freeport Yacht Club to honor three members of the community for their contributions to the arts. This year the Council presented Joanne Phillips, Robyn Workman and David Houston with awards. The executive director, Laurence Dresner, said the council is always keeping their “eyes out for potential honorees.” “I think this year’s honorees were exceptional in their extensive accomplishments and service to the community,” Dresner said. Phillips, from Long Beach, was given the ARTY, Arts Recognition Tribute Award for her work in the musical arts between Long Island and New York City through the Long Beach ROXX NY, multiday rock music festival held at the Long Beach Library and other works.

Freeport Fire Department
T
he Freeport Fire Department comprises more than 300 volunteers from throughout the community. It is responsible for protecting nearly 43,000 people who live within the Freeport Fire District, responding to nearly 5,000 fires, EMS calls and other emergencies each year. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the department has implemented several policies to ensure the safety of its volunteers and the community. The department limited firehouses to Class A and B volunteers, who are firefighters with few to no limitations on firefighting duties. Senior members, who may be more susceptible to contract the virus, have been put on temporary leave. In line with federal and state protocols, Freeport’s firehouses are sanitized at least once a day, and equipment is sterilized after every run. Now, only 10 firefighters are allowed to be at a firehouse at any given time — an increase since the height of the pandemic, when the maximum number of firefighters allowed
was five — and those entering the building are required to wash their hands and maintain social-

Freeport Memorial Library
W
hen the New York metropolitan area became the worldwide center of the Covid-19 pandemic, many local businesses and institutions shut down for months. The Freeport Memorial Public Library shuttered for just one week — then, it went into overdrive. Despite temporarily closing its physical facilities to the general public, the library continued to serve the community in myriad other ways, providing a much-needed respite to the long hours of social isolation and quarantine. “We always are very attuned to the changes and the population and the changes that people need to make,” Kenneth Bellafior, director of the Freeport Library, told the Freeport Herald Leader. “We're expanding the services that we make available to them so that they can get things in the library and at home.” These accommodations include curbside pickup for books and library materials, expanded access to virtual book and movie collections, online programming for activities like Zumba, meditation and family genealogy and a temporary moratorium on late fees for library patrons. Bellafiore said the library serves a wide spectrum of villagers, but that older adults and families with young children
take advantage most of its resources. The library reopened the physical facilities on June 15, and these accommodations remain intact. The library is also providing staff with protective gear and safety barriers to reduce the risk of spreading germs, as well as abiding by a government mandate to keep operating capacity under or at 50 percent. “I'm hoping it's not the new normal,” Bellafiore said. “I'm hoping this is abnormal, and I’m hoping that this passes.” In the meantime, the Freeport Memorial Public Library remains a pillar of the community. It is a gathering place, an educational facility, a recreation center, a social hub, a digital gathering place and, of course, an invaluable source of information at a time when so much is uncertain. Officials hope to continue providing for the community of Freeport. “If it makes it easier to provide the services to people, then we will continue to do it,” Bellafiore said. Ronny Reyes/Herald

he Freeport Police Department worked hard to meet the challenge of keeping residents and officers safe during and in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. In order to protect themselves, officers have worn masks, goggles, gloves and other protective clothing, and keep track of their equipment from day to day in case they start running low on anything. According to village and police officials, multiple Freeport police officers tested positive for Covid-19, but all were able to recover and return to work. Mayor Robert Kennedy said police supervisors have been monitoring temperature and oxygen levels of officers. Local officers often assist paramedics who are tending to and transporting the sick. Clerical staff who were deemed non-essential have been able to telework. Officers have continued patrolling the village, especially where businesses and places of worship are operating.

Rec cenTeR 516-377-2314 By Tommy Aquilina s of press time for this guide, the Freeport Recreation Center was yet to reopen to the public. Located at 130 E. Merrick Road, the center had been closed due to an executive order issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in March. The Freeport Recreation Center had set up a voicemail recording to make members aware of the temporary closure. With various businesses opening up again in Freeport, the reopening orders had yet to extend to the state’s recreation centers. Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy could not provide many specifics when asked about the possibility of the Recreation Center opening back up, but he did say it would open its doors as soon as such places are allowed to. “There is nothing clear and concise saying when pools can open again,” he said. “That’s all up to the governor.” Kennedy added that he was unsure what stage of reopening the Freeport Recreation Center would fall under. A message on the center's website states that its hours and services have changed. For more information, the site states, people should call the center at (516) 516-377-2314.

Freeport Schools By Alexandra Whitbeck
S
tudents in the Freeport Public School District finished out their 2020 school year through a computer screen due to the coronavirus pandemic. Making the switch to Google Classroom presented many challenges for teachers, administration and students in grades two through 12. However, all fronts preserved and prospered. Through Google Meet and Google Classroom, teachers were able to maintain contact, and students continued learning from late March to the end of the school year in June. Because in-person education stopped, students in grades five though 12 were issued Chromebooks, and Google Classroom was already a tool in daily learning, which was paired with the training of teachers to use the platform to its fullest. In homes with students in grades two through four, “every effort was made to provide households with a Chromebook” based on a survey, said Dr. Alice Kane, assistant superintendent for educational and administrative services of the Freeport Public Schools. In the case of younger students in pre-K, kindergarten and first grade, family outreach platforms like Google Classroom, Google Meet, SeeSaw and email communication were used heavily. In the event of at-home confusion, parents and students were able to access an Online Resource Center consisting of grade-level pacing guides on the district website along with a technology helpdesk. To further foster parent-teacher communication in the E-classroom of students in kindergarten through fourth grade, a virtual bulletin board and daily video read-alouds were posted in the Google Classroom. These additions aided in unity between parents, students and teachers. Parents were kept involved in the classroom
through Facebook, phone calls, the district website and app notifications on the Parent Portal and email. The Guardian feature on Google Classroom allowed parents to receive timely information about assignments and due dates. Daily communication became essential when gauging student morale and their overall transition to online learning. Teachers began keeping logs of communication and monitoring student work. However, reaching out through phone and email was a direct method used by teachers, administrators and guidance counselors. To ensure students made the transition to Elearning while maintaining their personal health, Pupil Personnel Services officials made phone calls to check in on mental health and wellness of students, said Kane. To aid students in households without Internet access, Freeport Public Schools purchased hotspots providing Wi-Fi. Technology issues were discussed in the communication networks between teachers and parents. According to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit aiming to end child hunger, one in four kids could face hunger this year due to the loss of in-school meals. Long Island Cares and Island Harvest, two organizations dedicated to ending hunger on Long Island, provided food weekly to assist Freeport students and families. The district also packed over 70,000 Grab and Go meals consisting of breakfast and lunch Mondays through Fridays. When facing dire circumstances, the Freeport Public School District was able to aid and support its students to ensure their academic success even through a computer screen.

Freeport is not only the second largest village in the state but also one of the most ethnically and racially diverse waterfront communities on the South Shore. With a population of 43,508, Freeport is home to some of Long Island’s top-notch restaurants and charter boats leaving regularly on fishing trips from the Nautical Mile — making it one of the coolest destinations for food and summer fun. The summer season officially kicks off Memorial Day weekend and is traditionally celebrated with the annual Nautical Mile and Blues Festival the first weekend of June — but not in 2020 because of the coronavirus crisis. The Nautical Mile is located on Woodcleft Avenue, which runs along the west side of Woodcleft Canal, the waterfront strip that has been ranked number seven on the list of 20 coolest towns in the U.S. by the travel website, Matador Network. Freeport has made a tremendous comeback since Hurricane Sandy in 2012 with the entire Nautical Mile revitalized and a number of homes elevated. Village residents continue to give back to their hometown, whether through canal cleanups, rebuilding efforts or community service through the nonprofit group, the Friends of Freeport, which has supported displaced storm victims since 2012. And though the Mile is one of Freeport’s claims to fame, the south part of the village has several canals that allow access to the Atlantic Ocean through salt marshes. Freeport also has extensive small-boat facilities and a resident fishing fleet, as well as charter and open water fishing boats, allowing the avid boating community to spend leisure time on the water. The village is 28 minutes from John F. Kennedy International airport and has accessible public transportation through the Long Island Rail Road and the NICE bus service. During summer, Freeport is the gateway to Jones Beach, one of the largest state beaches in New York. Freeport is a close-knit community and a magical place with a little something for everyone.

the village also provided constant updates via social media. Despite the village’s best effort and hopes for a speedy reopening, annual events were put on hold. The Nautical Mile Festival, which is typically held on the first Saturday in June, was canceled due to limitations on gathering. As of press time for this guide, there were uncertainties about rescheduling the festival, as the future of this summer was undetermined. The government of Freeport has consistently been making adjustments to already established plans like the Nautical Mile Festival, but remains hopeful for the recovery of the state from this pandemic. “We’re not writing [them], but we are enforcing the regulations,” Kennedy said. xx/Herald

he Village of Freeport has adjusted to a socialdistancing lifestyle much like the rest of the country by staying home and supporting one another. Governing entities shifted their focus from maintaining public works to maintaining the health of the public amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ensuring the safety of the community has been at the forefront of concern as Mayor Robert Kennedy began initiatives at the height of the pandemic to aid Freeport residents. Masks and gloves have been distributed to help residents follow statewide regulations. Freeport was the first village in New York state to offer face masks to all of its residents, Kennedy said. “We’ve given out probably close to 10,000 masks at this time,” Kennedy said. Residents were able to acquire these essentials by visiting or calling Village Hall to pick up or schedule a delivery. The Freeport Village Police also dropped packages of supplies to individual households, as well as handed out masks throughout the village. Kennedy, himself, made personal deliveries to older adults and those in need. “We’ll give them out as long as we can until this pandemic is over," Kennedy said. In addition to handing out masks and gloves,
