This pause is to remind us that the hour of eleven has tender significance to all of us. It was on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour that guns ceased firing and silence encompassed the earth. It was as of eleven that the last man in battle died. - Excerpt from the Eleven O'Clock Ritual, American Legion Post. In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After four years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The " War to End All Wars" was over. November 11 was set aside as Armistice Day in the United States, to remember the sacrifices that men and women made during war in order to ensure lasting peace. On Armistice Day, soldiers who survived the war marched in a parade through their hometowns. Politicians and veteran officers gave speeches and held ceremonies of thanks for the peace they had won. Congress voted Armistice Day a legal holiday in 1938, twenty years after the war ended. But Americans realized that the previous war would not be the last one. World War II began the following year, and nations great and small again participated in bloody struggle. After the Second World War, Armistice Day continued to be observed on November 11. In 1953 townspeople in Emporia, Kansas called the holiday Veterans in their town. Soon after, Congress passes a bill . introduced by a Kansas Congressman, renaming the national holiday to Veteran's Day. Americans still give thanks for peace on Veteran's Day. There are ceremonies and speeches and at 11: 00 in the morning most Americans observe a moment of silence, remembering those who fought for peace. Armistice Day was primarily a day to set aside to honor Veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the Nation's history; after American forces fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd congress, at the urging of the Veteran's services organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking the work " Armistice" and inserting in lieu thereof the word " Veterans". With the approval of this legislation ( Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American Veterans of all wars. Reflecting on Veteran's Day With the significance of Veteran's Day in our minds it is my personal honor to publish a poem written by Mr. Wendell Storms. Mr. Storms is a talented writer and poet and it is through his writing that we can better understand the importance and significance of Veteran's Day. Mr. Storms' brother PFC Charles S. Storms is a Vietnam Veteran and he and his fellow soldiers in the Ist Calvary are meeting in Washington D. C. this weekend to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their arrival in Vietnam. We honor these brave men and all of our Veterans on Veteran's Day and every day. A Mission and a Dream ( 1966) They came out of Benning to Charleston by train Men from each state, Hawaii to Maine They boarded their troopships and sailed out to sea These men from Fort Benning, the First Cavalry. Down through Panama to the California shore Their ships churned on toward the Vietnam War Across the Pacific and the South China Sea They swarmed in at Qui Nhon, then on to An Khe these men out of Benning, the First Cavalry. To battle they went, to places unknown To la Drang and Bong Son up north from Qui Nhon Through the An Lao Valley they swept like a tide, But men from Benning have fallen and died They have given their lives so that men might stay free These brave young men of the First Cavalry. Across the Vietnam highlands they flew To places named Phu Cat, Plei Me, and Pleiku And who will forget that sight in the sky As their Hueys and Chinooks and gunships flew by Into jungle and paddy they carry the fight Through the rain and the mud and the flare- lit night They have answered the call, they have heeded the plea Of Vietnamese people who wish to stay free. And Oh! if some day a parade they could have And march up Broadway, the entire First Cav With cheers and with tears, through confetti and streamers This parade of Cav heroes may be only for dreamers. And if high overhead in the blue noon- time sky Their hundreds of helicopters came whirling by What a sight to behold, what a thrill just to see These men who have served in the First Cavalry. Please turn to page 15 for pictures of PFC Charles S. Storms and his journey to Vietnam.

After a minor setback last week the Falcons bounced back this week to defeat the Raiders 31- 0 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Danny Ligowski threw a long pass to Jimmy Limpert to get the Falcons rolling. Nick Kelly completed a nice double reverse to Jake Rotunno who ran with some nice moves to pick up on important first down. Ryan McManus finished the drive with a pass to Jimmy ( Big Country) Limpert who dodged several defenders and scored. Jimmy Limpert took over at Quarterback and drove the team down the field with passes to Dylan Reggio and Brendan Hoffman. The drive was capped off with Jimmy Limpert throwing a bomb to Danny Ligowski for the touchdown. The air attack continued when Danny Ligowski threw a 30 yard pass to Zachary Licht and the Falcons could not be stopped. Billy Chappell, Eric Adams and Joe Morgan added to the overall offensive effort with a strong running attack. Coaches Tom McManus and Brian Limpert agree that the offense was great but defense wins games and the defensive standout for the Falcons goes unanimously to Anthony ( Nails) Colletta who was all over the field and helped keep the opponents out of the end zone. The Bethpage Falcons have earned a bye based on powerpoints and advance to the semifinals of the L. I. Championship.

The 12 foot tall bronze statue, which depicts two joined hands with dog tags draped over each hand, will forever be a tribute to the brave men and women who fought for our country in what was a difficult and controversial war. Dignitaries from virtually every political venue were on hand and Veterans from every branch of service and from every war eagerly awaited the unveiling of this significant statue. Looking around at the hundreds if not thousands of people who were in attendance I couldn ' t help but be overwhelmed by the Veterans who all took part in this ceremony. I must say that I was in awe and quite humbled to be surrounded by a group of people... by this group of Veterans who in my mind and heart are true American heroes. I am sure each Veteran had their own story to tell. Each was dressed in the uniform of their branch of the military. Each Veteran was so justifiably proud. Each a hero. My children and I listened to the story of Nick Graziano, Chairman of the Nassau County Monument Fund and also a Vietnam Vet. He told of his feelings of being isolated and spoke of the traumas of war, both physical and mental. Most importantly he told the audience that after returning home from Vietnam he never actually felt like he was at home. That was until today... until the unveiling of this monument. On November 6 at 59 years of age, Nick Graziano was finally welcomed home. As he told his story however, an elderly gentleman, no doubt a WWII Veteran sat and listened attentively. He nodded in agreement with the all of the feeling that Mr. Graziano expressed and it was evident in his eyes and the medals on his chest, that he too, had seen and felt his share of pain. At the end of Mr. Graziano ' s recollections he received a standing ovation. As we were all applauding, this elderly gentleman turned towards my two sons, pointed at them and asked each to promise that they will always remember the sacrifices of the brave men and women who fought for this country. '' Don 7 let these kids forget us!" he said. " If they forget all of us will get lost. " His words were very powerful to my sons and I and without hesitation we told him that we will not or could not ever forget what he and his fellow Veterans have done for us all. As he walked away he looked back one more time and said l, If you always remember us then we are always home. " Each of us in this great country has an obligation to our Veterans. We are obligated to remember. We are obligated to respect and we are obligated to never let their sacrifices be forgotten. We are obligated because our Veterans were obligated, as well. Each obligated by their hearts, by their pride filled minds and by the country they loved, to fight for our freedoms today. There is in my mind no greater hero than a Veteran. And so on Veteran ' s Day and every day we all need to vow to honor / hem, remember them and make sure they are all HOME. God bless this country and the brave men and women whom we ur> proudly and thankfully call Veterans. Nassau County Vietnam Monument Dedication The monument replicates the handshake Vietnam Veterans use to greet one another. The two hands rise out of a map of the Southeast Asia theatre of war while cupping dog tags whose chain is wrapped around them forever bonding together the soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who served. Bethpage resident Paul Masi, 2nd from right, former marine and past president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, Nassau County Chapter # 82, welcomes, from left, Lt.

This two- day charity Halloween festival was the brainstorm of John Ferrara and Al Aliamo, who for years have been decorating their homes in their ghoulish best to celebrate Halloween. Last year these two men and their families decided to turn their passion for Halloween into a charitable event with proceeds going to the Bethpage Community Foundation and this year they decided to pull out all the stops and expand their ghostly decorating skills to include nearly every house on the block! This was quite an undertaking, as one can only imagine the amount of man- hours that went into transforming so many homes into a frightful feast for the eyes and imagination! On top of all the creativity, logistics and hard work that went into constructing all the props, mannequins and horror scenes, John and Al were challenged with drenching rains and high winds. Let's just say at times Mother Nature was not very cooperative. In spite of all the obstacles, however, these two creative ghouls, with the help of neighbors and friends like the Cereoli family, Stiffa family, Lana Copeta, Tom Slattery, the Chiavaro family and many others, worked together to insure that this year's " Bethpage Horror" would be the best ever and to their credit it certainly was. Featured at this year's horror fest was the unbelievable musical talent of a Bethpage band called One Night Stand. They were OUTSTANDING and played every style of music from oldies to current tunes, which had the crowds dancing in the streets. Raffles were held during the two- day event and each night hundreds of residents stopped by to be a part of what has turned into an annual night of horror and fun for Bethpage. This year's event raised over $ 1200 for the Bethpage Community Foundation, which in turn helps those less fortunate right here in our own community. Halloween, which has been deemed f by many as a night of mischief has \ turned into a two- day event which is truly a treat for not only spectators but for all of the families that will be helped with monies raised by this frightfully fantastic event! Congratulations and thanks should be extended to all those responsible for making the " Bethpage Horror" a Bethpage reality. Everyone who attended the event is eagerly anticipating what the " spirits" on Romscho Street will have in store for them next year. With their ghoulish minds feverishly at work already, John and Al along with their ghostly buddies on Romscho Street, are certain to make next year's event more horrific than any ghoul could ever imagine. This colorful skeletal soul was keeping our piano- playing devil in perfect harmony with all the other spooky props. This frightfully festive crowd took a break from their scare tactics to pose for a picture with Legislator Ed Mangano. From left to right in the hack row are Jim Stiffa, Maryanne Cereoli, John Ferrara, Ed Mangano, Al Aliamo, Al Chiavaro and Karen Chiavaro. Left to right in the front row are Lana Copeta, Tom Slattery, Linda Mangano and Jack Cereoli. From the looks of this picture it seems like Ed has the scariest costume of all! Every inch of John Ferrara ys home was transformed into a treat for Halloween enthusiasts of all ages. This huge angry demon was the centerpiece of John's ghoulish home transformation this year. " Is there a doctor in the house?" Yes, indeed there was hut this doctor was obviously out of his mind! The winner's circle was full ofhappy faces and big smiles. Pictured above are the ers of the various raffle prizes which were held during the two- day event! winnei Yo, Ho, Ho! Pirates of the Caribbean made a pit stop on Romscho Street this year and the spirits spooking this front lawn would have frightened Captain Jack Sparrow himself. o < CD 3 < D - si O o en m 00 rn H I O m H gg cz 2: m 5 Q m A SPECtacular Halloween at Bethpage Schools Students Putting an End to Cancer ( SPEC) members are joined with kids and family members from the Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids during the SPECtacular Halloween Party at Bethpage High School in the Bethpage School District.

Members of " Students Putting an End to Cancer ( SPEC)" at Bethpage High School once again hosted a Spectacular Halloween Party for the Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids. The afternoon was jam packed with fun activities including pumpkin painting, mask making, toilet paper mummification, musical chairs, balloon animals, and of course, pizza and pretzels. " These kind of outings are special for our kids," commented Maria Kavan, Winthrop Hospital's Cancer Center for Kids Development Specialist. " They have a pretty stressful schedule and are in the ambulatory suite on a regular basis receiving chemo or platelets. The treatments are rough, so a party like this is a chance to run around, be silly, and just be little kids. They look forward to it because it really lifts their spirits." The honored guests and even some family members were adorned in costumes to join in on the fun and excitement. Since its start six years ago at Bethpage High School, the SPEC organization has maintained a strong membership and continues to grow even beyond the District. " The group initially started with a young boy named Brad Jerson whose mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer," shared the group's current Advisor Leslie Scueeri. " He was the motivating force. He wanted to make a difference. Meetings are always overflowing with students who want to get involved. They do all the work and realize the importance of giving their time to a good cause. When you give, you end up receiving back. Today is just as much a receiving day for my kids as it is for our guests." Ms. Kavin added, " The students here at Bethpage are so generous with their time. They could ' be hanging out at the mall, but they choose to be here. It's wonderful and very kind when children help other children." It's not all parties. Students donate their time by volunteering at events hosted by the Cancer Center for Kids and getting involved in various activities that promote cures for cancer. They work to spread awareness throughout the community and beyond. Group members feel they are successful in making a difference and getting the community involved. Co- President Danielle Olberc shared, " We always invite students to come join us at our Halloween party and a lot of nonmembers get involved in helping out. We are thankful to Emil's Nursery who donated the pumpkins this year for the kids & Pumpemell's who gave us a nice discount on the pizza." " We always have a great time with the kids and enjoy seeing them have fun. I think that is the best part," added Co- President Tiana Yom. The proof of success in the group's work was visible on all the guests faces; some covered with paint and others with crumbs, but all with smiles.

After scrimping and saving, brown bagging and doing without, you have saved enough for your down payment on your first home. Congratulations! Now what? Most people think their next stop is an open house or two. Your first stop on the road to home ownership should be your bank or mortgage professional. You really need to know what you can afford before you go shopping. We would all buy a Rolls Royce, but most of us realize we can only afford a Chevy. Buying a house is no different. You can go where you already have a bank account. Banks and Mortgage bankers are direct lenders. This means they sell you the mortgage directly. They have access to only their programs, and their rates are usually very competitive. Mortgage Brokers do the shopping for you. They have access to a wide variety of banks and their programs. They charge for this service, but can be a God- send if you have any issues. They are also a wealth of information about special mortgage programs such as first time home buyer programs. You will notice that I said " buy" a mortgage. Let's be very clear. No one gives you a mortgage. You buy it with the interest rate and fees you pay. It's an important distinction. If you think of your mortgage as a purchase, you will be much more aggressive on rates and fees. If you have good credit, they want your business. Don't be afraid to shop around for the best deal for you. In speaking to a mortgage professional, you will need to be able to give them some basic information so they can run a credit check on you. Be. prepared to frankly discuss any ' blips' you may have on your report. They will ask you about your income and current expenses. You want them to have a clear picture of your finances and credit history. It can be an intimidating experience the first time. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and a lot of them. Make sure you clearly understand what your full payment will be, including taxes and homeowners insurance. If you don't feel like your questions are not being clearly answered, hang up and call someone else. This is a competitive business. A good mortgage person, whether from a bank or a mortgage broker will be glad to answer all those questions. You should NEVER have to pay to get this kind of information. If they ask for money before they will talk to you, walk away. Make sure you ask about, additional costs. The generic term for these is closing costs, but that can mean a number of different things. In addition to that hard- saved down payment, you can expect to pay between $ 12,000 and $ 25,000. This amount will vary according to loan type and amount. These will include fees, pre- paid interest and escrows for taxes and insurance. Some of these terms will be new to you. Everyone learns about this while buying their first home. Go ahead and ask all those questions. Knowledge is indeed power in this transaction. If you know what you can afford, you will find house hunting is less stressful. Once you have established your price range and location, then call your local realtor. ( Like me!).

We were getting a Tew last minute photos before driving him to the airport for his flight back to Fort Benning. He was an Army PFC, a draftee, and had just finished training with the newly formed 11th Air Assault Division which became the First Cavalry Division in July of 1965. When we said goodbye to Charles at the airport that day, we knew where he was going. By mid- September of 1965 he was in South Vietnam having made the long voyage in a convoy aboard the troopship Simon Buckner. My interest in the Vietnam War and my writings and poetry about the struggle to save South Vietnam were born with the arrival of my brother's first letters from the central highlands and a place called An Khe. This is a photo of the troopship Simon Buckner on which my brother sailed from Charleston, South Carolina to Qui Nohn harbor, in South Vietnam. On board the ships in the convoy were 20,000 members of The First Cavalry and 400 of their helicopters. o< CD 3 or CD ro o o en • H X m CO X m -\ 00 c z: m o2 rn Bethpage Schools Board of Education Meet ( Continued from Pane 14) omo CO . o E ( to > O 111 z z> m oc h- UJ 1 X y- LU DO LU X • CD LU t School District and Abilities, Inc. for the 2005- 2006 school year.
