" Residents who would like further information can call 677- 5748. " The Town has an informative brochure about the S. T. O. P. and Electronic Waste Collection programs, including a list of what can be disposed of through both programs and the schedule of collection days and locations for 2005," Councilman Delligatti continued. " Any resident or organization interested in obtaining a free brochure should call or write the Town of Oyster Bay Public Information Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall East, 54 Audrey Avenue, Oyster Bay, N.

P. program, which provides residents with an environmentally safe means for disposal of household hazardous waste, is now in its 20th year," Councilman Delligatti said. " This is the second year for the Electronic Waste Collection program, and the Town of Oyster Bay is the first Town on Long Island to have a regularlyischeduled e- waste program. Up until the inception of the program, which was kicked off in April 2004, all e- waste in the Town had been hauled away and disposed of with the regular garbage. Now, the Town is offering residents a convenient and environmentally friendly way to recycle their e- waste. Under the program, the Town accepts computer monitors and hard drives, printers, keyboards, mice and cables, copiers and fax machines, cell phones, pagers, VCRs and stereos. Supreme Computer & Electronic Recycling, Inc., a company specializing in e- waste recycling, will collect the items and recycle the components, thereby ensuring that they will not end up in a landfill or incinerator."

The Supervisor was delighted to read " The Bookshop Dog" to the students of Mrs. Schwartz's second grade class. Oyster Bay Becomes First Town cfn Long Island To Adopt a Clean Energy Ax^ ion Plan The Oyster Board Town Board has become the first Town on Long Island to adopt an annual Clean Energy Action Plan, according to Town Supervisor John Venditto. The plan was adopted by a unanimous vote at the Town Board's March 22nd meeting. " In February 2004, I formed the Green Energy Task Force, which includes representatives from my office, the Departments of Environmental Resources, General Services, Parks, Public Works and Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Public Information Office," Supervisor Venditto said. " The task force was charged with developing a plan that includes both long and short term goals. The plan could include recommendations f$ r making building energy improvements; reducing the Town's reliance on fossil fuels by purchasing green power or developing our own sources of grjeeri power such as solar; wind or wave, increasing the Town's use of energy- efficient vehicles and equipment such as computers, copiers, fax machines and heating/ cooling products, as well as recycled products; and developing guidelines on how Town employees can save energy in theindaily routines. The plan could also include recommendations for changes in the Town Building Code to make future home and commercial construction and reconstruction more energy- efficient. j " The task force recently submitted an action plan for 2005,' lwhich the- Town Board has now adopted, making Oyster Bay the first T< pwn on Long Island to have an annual plan," the Supervisor continued. " T| e plan calls for the task force to continue assessing the Town's use of green? energy sources and how more green energy might be incorporated ihto the daily operation of the Town through such venues as the use of energy star products in Town construction projects, alternative fuel vehicles, and solar and wind power at Town facilities. It also provides for the task forcje to continue meeting with energy agencies and authorities to keep abreast of various options for assessing the energy we now use, the alternatives available, and the sources of technical and financial assistance that are available to us." Supervisor Venditto went on to say that the Town of Oyster Bay has already taken a leadership role in energy conservation and reducing greenhouse emissions. " We have incorporated alternative fuel and electric vehicles into our fleet, converted to energy- saving lighting in all qf our facilities and implemented curbside and office recycling programs, wrjich save energy by reducing the fossil fuels needed to extract and manufacture new products," the Supervisor said. " We use recycled products such as paper, toilet tissue and plastic lumber, which typically use less energy to produce than new products, and have an aggressive tree- planting program. As well as absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide, trees provide shade for buildings and streets, reducing the amount of energy needed to cool buildings. Most of these measures have made good economic, as welljas environmental sense. We are now exploring the use of green power, which is generated from ' renewable' sources, such as wind, hydroelectric or solar energy, at one of our Town facilities. j " The fossil fuels we now use to heat our buildings, to generate electricity and to power our vehicles took millions of years to produce,"' Supervisor Venditto commented. " In a little over one hundred years, we have depleted much of this supply and, in the process, have degraded the air we breathe. The task force is compiling the information I need to guide our Town in relying more on cleaner and renewable sources of energy and improving Oyster Bay's already outstanding environmental track record through new efforts to promote energy conservation and efficiency and lower its emissions of greenhouse gases." Town Board Appoints New Member to Environmental Control Commission The Oyster Bay Town Board has approved the appointment of Kyle Rabin, Executive Director of the Friends of Oyster Bay, to the Environmental Control Commission, according to Town Supervisor John Venditto. Mr. Rabin, whose experience includes serving as senior policy analyst and campaign director at Riverkeeper, Inc., policy analyst for the Council of State Governments, and working with Environmental Advocates of New York, replaces Louise Harrison, former Executive Director of Friends of the Bay. His term will expire on April 19, 2006. " The Environmental Control Commission ( ECC) was originally established in 1972 as a voluntary citizens group appointed by the Town Board to assist the Town in reviewing general environmental, conservation and preservation issues," Supervisor Venditto said. " When I proposed the creation of a Department of Environmental Resources, I also requested the commission be revitalized, which it was in April 2004. All of the members of the commission have strong environmental backgrounds and share a concern for protecting and enhancing the environment." Supervisor Venditto noted that other members of the commission include chairman Joseph Lorintz, founder and Executive . director . of; the Long Island Drinking Water Coalition and the Society to Preserve Underhill; David Relyea, co- owner of Frank M. Flower & Sons Oyster Company; Adrienne Esposito, Associate Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Bryan Brown, president of the Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor; and Carol Meschow, president of the Concerned Citizens of the Plainview- Old Bethpage Community, Inc. ' The Town of Oyster Bay is blessed with abundant resources and diverse environments," Supervisor Venditto stated. " From the delicate ecosystem of the South Shore Estuary Reserve to the Magathy Aquifer to Oyster Bay Harbor, one of the last viable shellfishing harbors on Long Island, the Town's remarkable natural resources have helped shape its economy, culture and history. These resources also provide us with the responsibility of good stewardship. Just as the Department of Environmental Resources has been helping focus, streamline and strengthen the Town's environmental programs, the members of the ECC have been sharing their expertise to better ensure the preservation, conservation and protection of natural resources, Mr. Rabin's."

The Vytra- TOBAY Triathion will be conducted under the auspices of the Town of Oyster Bay and its Department of Parks and Recreation, with the good folks from Vytra Health Plans (" It's about people") signing on once again as the corporate title sponsor.

The story of a tragic girl's ascension into a coma however is not the point that is discussed or debated. Rather it is the decision to prolong or terminate the life of a young woman who was deemed " a vegetable" after slipping into a potassium deprived coma a decade ago. The husband says end it now, the parents say let her live and the country debates, protests and watches as what should have been a family's decision unfolds into a television and newspaper frenzy and spectacle. I listened to the two sides of this story with an open mind. Some may understand a husband wanting to end what he deems as a life sentence to both himself and his wife. If in fact she did not want to live by artificial means then that would explain his diligence in removing her feeding tube. I can also completely relate to her parent's view in not wanting to deprive her of food. They feel she is there and she understands and responds to them and so allowing her to be fed via feeding tube is not to them extraordinary measures of preserving life. To them it is just a treatment. My question after listening to both sides is ????????? " Why are we in a hurry to do this?" " Why now?" If her husband wanted to get on with his life ( he has been living with a woman and has fathered two children) all he would have had to do is divorce her. No one could blame him. This tragedy happened when they both were very young. After staying by her side he may feel that the time has come to walk away and get on with his life and his dreams for his future. Why couldn't he just walk away? I watched newsbroadcast after news broadcast which aired pictures of Terri interacting with her parents and visitors and one thing stood out in my mind. Let me explain. You see 2 years ago when my mother slipped into a coma after suffering a staph inflection on top of a bout with emphysema I studied every move she made. Although she could not talk to me she did respond. Cold water on her forehead made her smile. Her eyes spoke to me and we communicated without a single spoken word. That went on for 18 days until one day the spark was gone. The light that showed in her eyes was now dark and much in the same way as you turn off a light switch, her light was gone. I knew on that day that she was gone. There were no smiles or sighs of relief when I rubbed her face, no glimmer in her eye, no life left. It was easy to see. At that point I questioned every doctor, every nurse and asked them if she was still alive. They all told me yes, although the respirator she was on was tricking her heart into thinking she was still alive. Her kidneys had failed. Her liver stopped functioning and she had no detectable blood pressure. Nothing was left except the beeping of a machine. My choice was to leave her on the respirator which would prolong her life artificially or allow her to be taken off the vent. All the while she received nourishment through a tube in her nose as well as fluids through an IV. I asked doctors what would happen if we turned off the respirator and they didn't know. They told me she may breathe on her own or she may not. I on the other hand knew she was gone already. Unfortunately I was right and when they turned off the vent she peacefully and painlessly went with God. I believe he was trying to take her all along, and although they deemed that day as the day she passed away in my mind she died 5 days before. The day her light went out. To me, Terri Schiavo's light is still on. I could see her responding and smiling and in my mind she should continue to be fed. She was not being kept alive with a respirator, she just was unable to eat. It is much like refusing to give insulin to a diabetic who has also suffered a stroke and is unable to communicate. When my mother was in a nursing home there were many patients who did not communicate and had to be fed with a feeding tube. They were alive and in my mind so is Terri. Why not just feed her and allow God to take her when it's her time? That feeding tube was not going to prevent her death. Many many people die each day on feeding tubes from various other diseases and/ or complications. Starving this woman is cruel and unnecessary in my opinion and I just don't understand why it is being allowed. I am a firm believer that we all should retain our dignity while on this earth and I completely understand the heartache and pain that comes when a loved one becomes dependent on others for their survival yet are the same folks who are so concerned about ending Terri's life in the name of " dignity" concerned about her dignity when night after night photos of her tragedy flood our television screens? Her face haunts me. The light and glimmer in her eyes is evident on a television screen. And I believe to deprive this girl of food is simply starving her to death. Feeding someone, even via a tube, to me is not an extraordinary measure... it is a treatment and a basic necessity to everyone. .• ,' . ^ The most important issue the Schiavo case has raised is the importance of having a living will, which can spell out exactly what measures an individual would agree to endure in order to sustain their life. It is a document that all of us need to have. As you read this editorial I am not sure what Tern s fate will be. I can t imagine her living much longer when she is being denied food. I am sure however that she will forever be remembered as the woman who made the world think about what life really means to us all. To me she has reaffirmed my experiences with my Mom and allowed me to remember the light of life which shines in the eyes of what may seem the most lifeless of persons. It has been said that the eyes are the heart of the soul. When that light is extinguished life is qone There is however a difference in that light being extinguished on its own or being blown out intentionally. My belief is that we all will live until it is our time to go. There is a plan and it is a plan I am not so comfortable in changing. At least not when there is a glimmer of hope, a sparkle in an eye and a light to brighten the soul. ^ « b< ty/ + SPRING SALE * "% k& ^ Inhj/ State/ ^ av c\ Jjowv ^ iaat/ " Old Fashion Service & Quality" BRIAN AND KATHY IRELAND ] OIN TOGETHER TO OFFER DISCOUNT PRICES ON HER COLLECTION OF SHADES OF AMERICA I i i i Collection of k INTEREST PAYMENTS T i l l 2 0 0e with this coupon Exp 5- 6- 05.

As we all get older our smiles age right along with us and our once white smiles yellow from coffee, tea and age. Well let me tell you there is a solution to dull yellow tinged teeth and it is a solution that takes a little over an hour without any pain at all. Britesmile teeth whitening is a new approach to teeth bleaching and is performed in a dentist's office. It is way more effective than over the counter bleaching products and much easier than traditional bleaching trays. I decided to have the treatment done o see if my pearly whites could make a comeback. I made my appointment with Dr. Connie Collura who is located at 4216 Hempstead Turnpike right in Bethpage. I arrived at 8: 30 and was greeted by friendly staff who took me right into the treatment room. Karen Calfayan the wonderful lady who gave me a new bright smile performed the treatment which took approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. When I was done I was amazed at how bright my smile had become. I felt great and was overwhelmed and elated at the results. The results last about 3 years and touch ups and maintenance should be done to keep your whites white. The price for the treatment varies and coupons for the service are always available at britesmile. com. I have to thank Doctor Connie Collura and her entire staff for their friendliness, competence and for making my smile 20 years younger and a whole lot brighter. Let's just say I haven't stopped smiling!! Now if they could do something about crows feet life would be perfect. Q. < LU Z> DQ CC f— LU < X h- LU DQ LU X o LU o < Q_ Online With Mary McCaffrey 5: 00 AM - jolted from a pleasant dream at the ungodly hour of 5: 00 AM, I dressed in a hurry to get over to the Town of Oyster Bay Sanitation Department for the annual Employee Awards ceremony. I am not a morning person so the sight of snow on the ground increased the moans and groans as I got ready... cleaning off the windows of the car did not improve my spirits. I arrived at the Sanitation Department on time for the 5: 30 AM ceremony only to learn that the supervisor had a television interview with channel 12 and gave out the awards early - at 5: 15. Most of the recipients were in their trucks on their way to their assigned routes. " It's going to be one of those days," I thought. I decided to stay for a while and thank the tew members of the department who were still in the office. Billy He was sitting alone at the end of a cafeteria style table, hands cupped around a paper coffee cup. We shook hands and I could see that something was wrong. He tipped his hat in a gentlemanly gesture of respect and I knew something was definitely wrong. " What happened to you?" I asked. Billy had been in a car fire. His seat belt was the first to catch on fire. The flames shot up across his body to his head. The rim of his face was still scarred. His hair was cropped close to his head indicating that it was just beginning to grow back. " I'm out on disability," he said. Holding his hands up in a display of strength, he continued, " my father always told me I could make a living using these ( his hands) and he was right. I have worked for the town for 25 years. I was on a sanitation truck for years and then the S. O. R. T. trucks. It's a good job. i like it." Once again, he removed his hat to show me the pin he had just received for 25 years of service to the town. It was affixed to the front of his cap. " I walked here to get my award," he said. " Walked?" I repeated, " From where?" " Hicksville," he replied. " But it was snowing..." I said, thinking of my own comfortable ride in a heated car. " I left my apartment at 3: 00 o'clock and walked up 106- 107 then along the Long Island Service Road to here." I " See that," he said pointing to the pin. " The next one I get will be for 30 J years," he went on optimistically. : All throughout the day, town employees with 20, 25 and 30 years of ; service were acknowledged with a special pin. The value of that pin is measured in the kinds of people that work for the town and their dedication to making the Town of Oyster Bay work. They pick up our trash, clean our streets and parks, " man" the phones during snow emergencies and work ' round the clock when the situation demands. They keep the records and process requests for permits. They are the " nuts and bolts" of town government. They make us elected officials look good. Of course there are some people who do not meet the high standards we hope for, but they are in the minority. It's the Jimmies, Dianes, Charlenes, Pauls, Kevins, Roses and Bills... who are the backbone of the town's workforce... the ones who might not walk in the snow to get an award, but they do their job diligently day in and day out. Billy taught me a lesson last Thursday... despite his obvious suffering and pain, he was willing to walk miles to get a pin... a symbol of his achievement at work. You never know how important symbols of achievement are. That pin meant a lot to Billy. He left the Sanitation Department feeling proud... looking forward to the day when he can return to work and eventually get that 30 year pin. » Hartigan Council Knights of Columbus, Bethpage Holds Children's Easter Partymmmmmmmmmmmmm / f t '• ' 4^^ B'. • ^"* v"~" ^^^ B';'' JB I' f'iS ^ Tj ™ S|^^ BH •/ ~| pi^ r^ 5S ' A • MI n| i<*, i ~' jmP $ 1 * \ fit • - i H m mm m r f .* M tBE H i ,"*** ":* W" K& i "^: iU,,*:.

Aloha Jewish Chapel at Pearl Harbor. After ceremony of honoring the 4 chaplains lost 2/ 3/ 43 with Post Commander Pete of American Legion. Rabbi Alexander Goode, A terrible tragic occurrence happened during WW II on the second of February 1943. A troop carrier ship named USS Dorchester was torpedoed on its way to Greenland. The loss of life was about 650 of our servicemen. The Germans torpedoed the troop carrier off the Greenland shore. There were four chaplains aboard the ship, a Catholic Father John T. Washington, a Methodist Rev. George L. Fox, a Dutch Reformed Rev. Clark P. Poling and a Jewish Chaplain Rabbi Alexander Goode. All four Chaplains died in this sinking of the USS Dorchester. They gave their life preservers to the servicemen. Butehorn Bros, member Ed Langlieb and his wife Louise were visiting their son in Hawaii for six weeks. One of the things they did was to visit the Aloha Jewish Chapel at the base of Pearl Harbor and Temple Emanu- el at Honolulu. Our brothers in arms the American Legion sponsored an observance of the Four Chaplains who died in the USS Dorchester sinking. The z" l ( of blessed memory) observance was called the Four Chaplain Shabbat. There were family members and others that knew the Jewish Chaplain Rabbi Alexander Goode, however the shabbat put on by " Pete" of the American Legion was solely to honor the four Chaplains. Our VFW member Ed Langlieb and his wife Louise while there, swam in the Pacific Ocean from the beautiful beaches of Honolulu. They said it was great to be with their son, Barry. Below you will see a photo of, from left to right, Ed Langlieb, " Pete" from the sponsoring American Legion and a Navy Chaplain in training ( whose name Ed said he did not get). Also pictured below is a picture of Chaplain Rabbi Alexander Goode from the program. The program was opened with the singing of America The Beautiful and closed with the singing of Adon Olam ( Hebrew hymn). During the services a Kaddish Yatom was said for the four hero chaplains ( Hebrew prayers for the dead). Ed and his wife said it was a very impressive ceremony.
