Long Island Memories
une Proudly CCn/ lit:; L SERVING BETHPAGE, ISLAND TREES. OLD BETHPAGE. PLAINVIEW, SEAFORD AND PLAINEDGE VOL. 43 NO. 2 February 25 - March 3, 2005 FIFTY CENTS Town of Oyster Bay Takes Lead in Cleanup of Bethpage Community Park To expedite the cleanup and remediation of Bethpage Community Park and to facilitate a total reopening of the park and planned improvements, the Town has signed a Consent Order with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ( DEC) to develop and implement its own remediation plan, based on testing by its own experts, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John Venditto announced. " Since the closing of the park following the discovery of PCB's ( polychlorinated biphenyls) in the soil, the Town has been working closely with State officials to get the responsible parties to take legal and financial responsibility for the remediation of the park and develop and implement a remediation plan in an expeditious manner," Supervisor Venditto stated. " Since it does not appear imminent that the responsible parties will have a remediation plan in place, I feel the only way we can get the park fully back in operation and proceed with plans for park improvements, in a timely fashion, is for the Town to take the lead. " To this end, the Town hired H2M Group, an environmental engineering firm, to develop a remediation plan, known as an • Interim Remedial Measure ( IRM)," the Supervisor continued. " The Town also asked for, and received, DEC approval for an Order on Consent so the Town can proceed with implementing the IRM expeditiously. Now that the Order on Consent has been signed, the Town expects the DEC to approve the IRM program so that the Town can commence work on the actual remediation and improvements." The Supervisor went on to say that the park will be remediated in two phases. The first phase will be near the current entrance to the park. Once that area has been remediated, the Town will, proceed with plans to close up the existing entrance to the park and construct a new entrance from the Cherry Avenue Extension. Upon completion of phase I remediation and improvements, work will begin on phase II, which is in the area of the ballfield where the greatest amount of contamination has been founded and will require more extensive remediation. " When the Town received the first reports of contaminants in the soil at Bethpage Community Park, in May 2002, despite assurances by the DEC and State Department of Health ( DOH) that the park was safe for public use, it was my decision that in the interests of the health, safety and welfare of the residents, closing the park was the most prudent measure," Supervisor Venditto stated. " At that time, I made a commitment that the park, or any portion of the park, would reopen only when the Town was satisfied that conditions were suitable for public use. " As we have received those assurances from the DEC, New York State Department of Health and our own environmental consultant, we have opened certain areas of the park. I know residents would like the rest of the park open, and now that the Town has taken the lead, that will happen much sooner." Town Councilman Angelo A. Delligatti praised Supervisor Venditto's leadership. " Supervisor Venditto has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in facilitating this Order on Consent with the State Department of Environmental Conservation," the Councilman said. " Positioning the Town to perform the remedial work necessary to proceed with planned improvements was a bold move and will result in the park being fully opened much sooner than if he had not taken this step." Town Councilwoman Mary A. McCaffery, who lives in Bethpage, supports the Supervisor's action. " The closing of the Bethpage Community Park is the most frustrating and upsetting issue I have had to confront since my election to the Town Board," she said. The Supervisor noted that talks are still in progress between the DEC and the responsible parties and that the Town will be seeking financial reimbursement from the responsible parties for any work performed by the Town in connection with the remediation of the park. A Farewell Message for Josie Petchonka If you didn't have the privilege of knowing her first hand you surely knew that face. If you never had the opportunity of having a conversation with her you definitely must remember this little lady strolling through town with a loaf of Italian bread under her arm. Josie Petchonka was in no other words... ORIGINAL. She told it like it was, had an opinion about everything, lived life to the fullest and was the inspiration behind the saying " good things come in small packages. " On Friday, February IS Josie Petchonka passed away after a battle with lung cancer. While I could go on and on about this special lady I can tell you that she was a stick of dynamite and soft fuzzy teddy bear rolled into one special woman. She was a dedicated wife, a loving mother, an adoring grandmother a friend that you were lucky to have and so much more to so many. And while she, unlike many of us, was not born here in Bethpage she was a fixture here and a true part of why this community is so special. She was involved in everything and if you asked her for something she'd gladly rush to your aide. While I personally have many wonderful memories of this wonderful woman perhaps the fondest memory of her involves a cast iron frying pan. I had mentioned to Josie one holiday season that I was going to make manicotti for my family. I told her I never made the shells by hand and I asked her if she had a recipe. Of course, without hesitation, she gave me her recipe for crepes. The next day I set out to make the manicotti shells. I fixed the recipe exactly as Josie told me and began the process of trying to fry them in a pan. After more tries than I would like to admit I had not one crepe that was worthy to call a manicotti shell! I had to call Josie to find out what I was doing wrong. Five minutes after hanging up the phone Josie showed up at my door with a frying pan and an apron in hand. Apparently there was a trick to crepe making and Josie was just the one to teach me. She explained step by step and then began the task of pouring just the right amount of batter into her pan. She made one, then two and then told me to take a stab at it. I jumbled a little and Josie said my crepe was too thick. So she showed me again. She made one, then two, then three and now it was my turn. I GOT Fill The crepe was perfect. I told her I couldn ' t believe how easy it was after ( Continued on page 10) COMMUNITY EVENTS Low Fat vs. Low Carb Seminar Has your New Year's diet been derailed because you're confused about what type of plan is best suited for you?

One of the comments a letter carrier often hears is, " I don't know how you do it?!" Aside from the obvious reason of doing it because we have to, for me I can honestly say it was the good people of Bethpage that helped me make it through the day. It was the cold water offered on 90 degree days and the hot coffee on 20 degree ones. It was the laughs and smiles of friendly faces that helped keep me upbeat on the most grueling of days. I am now leaving for a change in my career and although I have tried to say a personal farewell to most of you that I have served, I know I have missed a few and wanted to make sure that I said goodbye and thank you for all of your kindness. So to the good people on: Central, Park, Baldwin, Parma, Broadway, Seaman Ave., Stewart Ave., Burkhardt, Benkert, Enness, Iram, Bishoff, Bishop, N. Sheridan, Lee, Jackson, Lafayette, Steuben, N. Pershing, and Kearney, I want you to know that you will always hold a special place in my heart. I choose the words " Auf Wiedersehen" because translated from German it means, " til I see you again" and as a resident of Bethpage I am sure I will run into you again and hope that you will say hello even when I'm out of my uniform. Yours truly, Christine Ferguson Plainview Water District Commissioner Sworn In Oyster Bay Town Clerk Steve Labriola ( left) recently performed the swearing in ceremony of Plainview Water District Commissioner Joel Kessler.

We all were completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of compassion and words can not describe how thankful we are for your support and kindness. God bless you all.

The fascinating story of Long Island's role in the Civil War -- the historic regiments and ships local men served in, the famous leaders who lived here, and the home front activities which supported the war effort -- will be highlighted in a slide program at the next meeting of the Farmingdale- Bethpage Historical Society which will take place at Farmingdale Public Library, 116 Merritts Road on Sunday, March 13 at 2 pm. Although no battles were fought here during the War Between the States, the conflict touched the lives of everyone who lived from Brooklyn to Montauk between 1861 and 1865. Local soldiers and sailors fought in virtually every major engagement of the war, and the men and women at home backed them up with rallies and sewing circles, by volunteering as nurses and by producing vital supplies. The highly informative presentation utilizes dozens of historic nineteenth century images and modern photographs which have been carefully assembled by professional historian and museum curator Harrison Hunt. Mr. Hunt is the author of two books on the Civil War, Hallowed Ground and Heroes of the Civil War, as well as the liner notes for Rally Round the Flag, a recording of Civil War songs of the North. President Lawrence R. Jorgensen of the FBHS Invites all interested area residents to attend this free program by Harrison Hunt, who is a native of Bethpage, and a former president of the FBHS. For further information, call 516- 249- 3099. Supporting Troops With Packages Prom Home Recently the Archie McCord Post 86 of the American Legion sent care packages to troops serving in our armed forces overseas. These packages consisted of candies, snacks and toiletries. It is important at this time to let our service men and women know that we support them and appreciate the great job they are doing. Aside from the fear and anxiety these men and women face is the loneliness and longing for home and loved ones. A package or letter from home goes a long way in helping. Recently we received the following letter from a serviceman in Iraq: Dear Commander Lewis & Archie McCord Post Members, Just a quick note from the Republic of Iraq to thank you for your generous care package. I practically spent all my holidays with the Ryan Family in the hall, and I wish it were the same this year but that of course is life in the Marines. Again thank you for your kind gesture and for your service to our great nation! Semper Fi Drew Ryan Major USMC In a continuing effort to support our troops overseas the Archie McCord post of the American Legion would like to send more packages to our men & women serving in this conflict, as financing permits. If you know of someone in service, from the Bethpage area, please send us his or her name, rank and military address to Archie McCord Post 86 American Legion, P. O. Box 561, Bethpage, NY 11714 or call us at ( 516) 822- 1331 and we will try to include them in our next mailing. The service person does not have to be a member of our Post or the Legion. If you're a safe driver, you should pay less. That's our stand. Send your news to us at the BETHPAGE TRIBUNE 32() Broadway, Bethpage, N. Y.

We need the proper traffic control and warning signs, and a much stronger driver education at the high school, and maybe these programs should be started in the lower grades also. Sadly utility poles are reminders for all of us that there has been a tragic accident which resulted in some young people's death. Because of poor traffic control these poles have become memorials. What a shame. I noticed right after our last tragedy there was all kinds of police presence. Summonses were given out for days, radar was used along Stewart Ave., local police, mounted police, motorcycle police, where did all this go? We need this police radar and unmarked cars not only at 10 o'clock in the morning, and early afternoon, but also when school is out after 3 o'clock. Please as concerned Bethpage residents let's do something now. Please make your phone calls now. To the Town of Oyster Bay, the Highway Dept. of the State of New York, and to the Nassau County Politicians and Bethpage School System. Please consider doing this now before we have another tragedy in our town. I have taken various photos of some of the problems in Bethpage. Also pictured are other towns like Jericho where traffic signs are much more prominent. Take notice of the small signs warning about a curve. This is from across the road. If you can't see them, neither can someone traveling at a high or normal speed. It's too late. The signs are too close to the turn. Wake up somebody. Hi LU ZD m cc h- LU CD < Q_ X I— LU CD LU X oo LLI O < Q_ This sign is right at the school. All these signs should be a different color. White blends in with a lot of other signs like parking signs and others. They should be changed now. Send Your News to Us! BETHPAGE TRIBUNE 329 Broadway, Bethpage, NY 11714 What do we have? Going south on Broadway past Middle School, one sign, next one in either direction five blocks away on the corner of Coronet Crescent. Why? Take notice of the small sign tacked up on pole. The same problem is on the roadway going north. Going south on Hicksville Road in Massapequa. Permanent traffic control signs in both directions just north of Merrick Road. lillift.^ '&&?, » &:*; '.".. S/ S Road LIE Hicksville. No flowers on these poles either. Could it be all these signs help? All these signs within 2 blocks. Maybe it's time for a wake up call for students and residents to see a wreck from a tragic accident placed on the front lawn of the high school so everyone of us can be reminded of what can happen when we speed. This has been done at other schools in both Nassau and Suffolk. Why not in Bethpage? I hope these photos will help us all in the Town of Bethpage. The time is now to act. Don't wait till it's too late.

The morning brings with it many challenges. Remembering lunches, books, reports, projects, money, etc., etc., etc. The afternoon brings with a different assortment of problems. Most of which involve what location you are driving " who" and " how ?? ia? iy" to. Yet it seems one of the most stressful situation I have encountered on my to and from school commute is one that I am sure many people have encountered as well. You see I just can't see the crossing guard. If the weather is beautiful and clear it is easier to see the crossing guard, but if it is rainy, snowy or just plain cloudy then seeing this brave soul is almost impossible. And why? Well, it really isn ' t our eyesight's fault. Instead, let's blame it on the brain surgeon who decided that the crossing guards uniform should be a drab brown color. A nice color if you wan to blend with the pavement but when you are crossing children on a four- lane roadway like Stewart Avenue, brown just doesn 7 cut it! From time to time I have seen our crossing guards wearing a small orange vest, but let me tell you if it were me out there I would be wearing a fluorescent yellow overcoat with a four foot crossing sign and neon green gloves! Why in goodness name are they wearing that dull brown ensemble? Obviously, we all are supposed to be driving at a slower speed ( 20- 25mph in a School Zone) yet it seems that even at those speeds the crossing guards are blending into the street rather than getting our attention and it is quite simply a dangerous situation. Being a crossing guard is a dangerous occupation and one, which brings with it much responsibility. Crossing pedestrians in heavily trafficked areas is no laughing matter and requires sharp thinking and skills. Yet even the most competent and skillful crossing guard is not effective if she or he can't be seem from a distance. If you have to be two feet away to notice that there is a crossing guard then there is something drastically wrong. Something as easy as a uniform change or modification could not only make traffic flow safer and easier but could also prove to be a lifesaver for crossing guards and the folks they cross. So I say to whoever is making the decisions... LIVEN UP THOSE DULL UNIFORMS!! Think bright, think bold, think NEON!!! A crossing guard is not what I would deem a dull occupation. Perhaps it is high time that their uniforms reflect their importance as well as their role in insuring the safety of pedestrians everywhere. And to our crossing guards I say thank you... and take matters into your own hands. Buy fluorescent red gloves and a lime green hat until someone in the " fashion- police department" gets the BRIGHT idea of redesigning your uniform!! oLoO CO CO o CO m C\ J CO i_ . o CD LU z: ID m DC i - LU CD < CL X CD LU X I— • o LU O Send Your News To The Tribune!

White Funeral Home Inc. 931- 1454 234 Broadway Bethpage, New York Remembering Helen Nylund Norman Longtime Bethpage Resident Helen Nylund Norman, a nearly life- long citizen of Bethpage, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Tennessee on Saturday, February 5, 2* 005. A small and beautiful service was held in Lebanon with her Tennessee family, and her daughters, Nancy and Shirley, are planning a memorial service for her here on Long Island on April 17, 2005. The Nylund Family moved from Brooklyn to Bethpage in 1922 when Helen and her twin brother Roy were two years old. She attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church where she was confirmed, where she married James " Happy" Norman in 1946, and where their daughters were baptized. Helen graduated from Farrningdale- High School in 1938 and worked as an executive secretary at Grumman Aircraft for twenty- five years. Helen and Happy Norman were active members of the Bethpage community throughout their lives. Helen was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, the Theodore Roosevelt Republican Club, the Emera Chapter No. 676 of the Order of the Eastern Star, and the Sons of Norway. After moving to Tennessee nine years ago, one of the highlights of her week was receiving the Bethpage Tribune to keep up with the news from " home." Helen is survived by her sister, Margaret Upritchard of Glen Head; her brother, Roy Nylund of East Norwich, her daughters Betty Jean Kurras of Lebanon, TN, Nancy Norman of Bellport, and Shirley Murphy of Blue Point, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Josie Petchonka ( Continuedfrom Page 1) she came and showed me. She of course told me it was her pan and that it never ever fails. Josie had a cup of coffee and I finished making the crepes. After that she went home with her p- an and 1, proud as could be, put my crepes in the fridge. The next morning I woke up and went to get the newspaper outside. There at my doorstep was the crepe pan with a note that said " it's all in the pan— and this one is yours!, " Love, Josie. And while she would have like me to believe it was the pan that was magical I instead know it was her magic that made my crepes and so many other things in so many other people lives JUST RIGHT! When it came to having a recipe for being a good wife, a caring mom, a loving grandparent and a special friend, Josie had all of the ingredients all of the time! So to a very special lady, a lady I, and so many others, will miss more than we can ever explain I say thank you and I love you for being YOU every single day. Thank you for your honestly, sense of humor and thought fulness. Thanks for lending me your sewing machine, which never quite worked right and for giving me a very special pan which will not only ensure that my crepes are perfect but will more importantly ensure that I will never ever forget the ingredients that made you one of the most special people I have ever met. Most of all I thank you for being a caring and loving person who meant so much to me and to so many others who were privileged to have gotten the chance to know you. To the entire Petchonka and Foley families we extend our heartfelt sympathy and prayers. Please take comfort in knowing that she is in a better place and that manicotti is now on the menu in heaven.
