The Bethpage High School lobby was decorated with colorful stickers created by students from all three District elementary schools: Central Boulevard, Charles Campagne, and Kramer Lane Schools. Messages written on the stickers placed on adhesive backing hung on the walls carried messages, urging people to participate in the Democratic process and vote. Parents were asked to bring their Vietnam Memorial on Long Island Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, center right greets local veterans in front of the Vietnam Veterans Traveling Wall which was on display recently in Marjorie R.

Supervisor Venditto convinced Dignity Memorial to bring the Wall to the Town of Oyster Bay in time for the 30th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. joining Mr. Venditto is from left: active duty Marine MSgt Paul Kozlowski, junior past President of the Vietnam Veterans of America Paul Masi, Supervisor Venditto and Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 82 President Carl Johnson. The Wall arrived by motorcycle escort and was greeted at Marjorie R. Post Community Park by veterans and local 7 of the carpenters union who promptly began to assemble it. Landscapers joined the union in transforming the parking lot into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Upon entering the park and seeing the memorial the impression one got was that it had always been there. Hundreds of visitors came despite the cold on Friday and the heavy rain on Saturday. With sunshine Sunday, the hundreds turned to thousands who came to pay homage to the 58245 men and women who gave their lives during the Vietnam War. Volunteers helped people locate names of friends and loved ones on the wall, gave flags to the children and explained that the names were in chronological order and that all the individuals who died on a particular day were together. At the apex of the memorial the first casualty in 1959 meets the last who died in 1975. The visitors were overwhelmed by the number of names on each panel. Veterans stood at the wall touching the names of lost buddies. A Gold Star mother and father came to see their son and were escorted to his place on the wall. A Gold Star father knew where to find his son but wanted a veteran to come with him so he could help make a rubbing of his son's name. And now there are Sons and Daughters in Touch, children of deceased veterans who never knew their fathers. In a very loving moment, two daughters who were born just months after their fathers were killed came to the wall. They both said they felt closeness to their father there, that was never felt before. the Traveling Wall is on the way to another city where it will continue to affect all those who come to visit it. children to the polls during the May 17 school budget vote and trustee election, where the young students were allowed to peel away their stickers and place them on their parents, or wear the stickers themselves.

May Is Lyme Disease Awareness Month Be Tick Free With the approach of warm ! weather in May, and the increase in outdoor activities, many county residents may place themselves at increased risk of exposure to Lyme disease. Lyme disease is now the most prevalent tick- borne illness in our area. It is an infection that can cause arthritic, heart and nervous system problems. An early symptom of Lyme disease may be a discrete circular or oval rash ( erythema migrans) that may continue to expand or spread. Other early symptoms include fatigue, chills and fever, headache, muscle and joint pains and swollen lymph nodes. Because Lyme disease is often difficult to diagnose, and often produces variable symptoms, it is important to consult your doctor as soon as possible. To help prevent Lyme and other tick- related illnesses, the Nassau County Department of Health recommends that all residents take the following precautions to " Be Tick Free": • Try to stay out of tick- infected areas such as wooded areas and adjacent grasslands, high grass, dense shrubbery and areas adjacent to salt marshes * If one does go into tick areas: - Wear light colored clothing with long sleeves and long pants tucked into socks or boots - Use repellents as appropriate - Check for ticks on clothing and pets • After returning home, remember to conduct full- body checks for ticks The risk of contracting other tick-borne diseases, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Babesiosis or Echrlichiosis, is relatively small in Nassau County. However, since almost all residents at some time or other travel outside the County, it is advisable to be aware of Lyme disease and other tick- related illnesses. The Nassau County Department of Health bulletin on " Lyme Disease and Other Tick Related Illnesses" is now available. The free, 4- page bulletin contains information which will help residents to • Prevent exposure to tick bites • Recognize symptoms of tick-borne diseases • Seek appropriate treatment For additional information on identifying ticks and preventing tick-borne diseases, or to obtain the bulletin, contact the Nassau County Department of Health website at www. nchealthdept@ nassaucounty ny. gov or call the department weekdays from 9: 00 A. M. - 4: 45 P. M. at 571- 2006.

The cruiser had about 1100 plus sailors aboard. The warship dropped off the cargo on an island in the west Pacific and then headed for Guam. The ship had no escort and was to arrive at a designated port in Leyte. Unfortunately she was spotted by Japanese submarines. Unfortunately also the USS Indianapolis did not have any sonar detection equipment and was hit by multiple torpedoes. One of the torpedoes blew off the entire bow / ( front) of the ship and it sank after other torpedoes blew the ammunition magazines and it went down within fifteen minutes. If the readers did not like sharks before reading this, they will despise them after reading this story. The waters were alive with sharks and still alive were about a thousand in the water of the 1100 aboard. The sinking took its toll and some went down with the ship. In the waters were approximately 1000 sailors many with severe injuries and when it was all over only about 307 were alive. They were in the water for about five days and nights as the navy department did not know they were there. Fortunately a navy plane spotted the oil slick and noticed the sailors in the waters so that rescue can be performed. Capt. McVay the skipper of the Indianapolis was charged with dereliction of duty and court martialed and found guilty. The Capt. McVay, did use preventive measures of changing course to evade any enemy ships. A final tragedy to add to all of this the Captain committed suicide. The remaining members of his crew objected to his court martiahas they openly said he was not the blame. This whole story of this destroyed ship is the worst single warship tragedy of naval history. Even to this day Capt. McVay's name is trying to be cleared. This all happened sixty years ago and to this very day there is an action to remove his name from " dereliction of duty." The original cargo he delivered was the ingredients for what ended in the war in the Pacific with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which undoubtedly saved many American lives. Yes, a terrible American tragedy. Internet Kindergarten Don't Miss Out!

First thing you need to remember about using the internet is don't ever give any personal information out. Second, if a deal seems too good to be true it is. What you need to know is that the internet is not regulated in a way at all. If you receive an email asking you to cash checks for someone who lives in a foreign country I would not trust it. It is also important to remember that your bank, credit card company, Mortgage Company or any other financial institution will never email you and ask for personal information. If you do receive any emails asking for your personal information you can go ahead and delete it. If it is that important they will send you a letter in the mail. Many banks today offer the ability to access your account online. This can be a very easy and time efficient way to handle all of your banking. For instance, I pay my car insurance, credit cards, cell phone, and invest all over the internet. Let's get back to the internet itself. By now all of you have heard about viruses, ad ware, spy ware, etc. I would like to explain a little on what they are and how they work. When you hear that someone's computer has been infected with a virus what that means is that a person has created a computer program that will get into your computer and can do a whole host of bad things. They can track every site you go to, collect your credit card information, and many other things. Not to worry. You can fight against them by downloading anti virus software. You can go to www. download. com and download, for free, spybot- search and destroy. This program is free to download and will scan your computer for viruses, ad ware, & spy ware. As far as spy ware is concerned this virus has a unique purpose. It works like this. If you buy books online from different sites, spy ware will track what books, author, price, and type of writing you purchase. This means that if you buy Stephen King books you might get an email asking if you would want to buy more of his books. When spy ware is on your computer all your information is sold by the company which is gathering the information. For example, if I wanted a list of women who have bought shoes costing more than $ 50 in the past 6 months from the internet I could buy those names & email addresses. Ad ware is responsible for the nasty pop ups. You need to run anti spy ware software to stop the pop ups from happening. Have questions? Email me at questions@ bigphun. com. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, • I took my sons to the Bethpage Pool Playground, and while playing, I noticed an adult male harassing/ taunting/ tormenting the many geese and goslings in the parking lot. This adult male would run toward them, kick them and chase their babies. 1 confronted this coward immediately, which in turn he walked away into the office portion of the pool ( he apparently was a town/ county worker), I dialed 911, and when the cop arrived I explained that this person was abusing and tormenting the defenseless geese. The eighth Pet. Officer told me that kicking geese was not abuse, and the worker was " probably" trying to " shoo" the geese away for they are " aggressive and a nuisance." I told him that kicking a defenseless animal was in fact abuse! The cop then told me that the geese are a " pain and filthy," he told me to check out the goose droppings all over the lot, admittedly there was quite a bit. So, due to goose droppings this cop was condoning the abuse/ harassment of the park geese. So, I guess if our domestic companions ( dogs/ cats) use our yards as " litter boxes/ bathrooms," it is o. k. to abuse/ kick/ harass our domestic pets?? This abuse should not be tolerated, and an alternative method of " control" should be implemented ( birth control and/ or relocation of these majestic birds). Every sentient being counts!!!

Ernie Finamore gave a very interesting presentation about The History of Grumman Aircraft Plant No. 1 at Bethpage, N. Y. Ernie has a very informative support team with the help of Mark and Richard Kalen. Mark and Richard started early in the day setting up a great display of pictures ( which they have donated for our archives), variety of models of the aircraft produced in Grumman in the 1940' s, as well as a beautiful diorama of Plant # 1, and many books which we were encouraged to look through. They also arranged to have a glimpse of the showing of " Wake Island," a Paramount movie from 1942, starring William Bendix, MacDonald Cary and Robert Preston which featured the F4F Wildcat in action against the Japanese " Zero." All a great introduction to Ernie's presentation. Ernie settled in Bethpage with his family in 1932 and grew up two blocks from Grumman where he witnessed the new development of Plant One. At the age of 17 he joined the Grumman family and he completed 45 years of service, including 2 1/ 2 years in the U. S. Navy. During this time he assumed the position of assembler- riveter, stock expediter, and installed control cables and fuel bags. While learning to build engines and propellers, he took flying lessons on the Grumman field and earned his private pilot's license in 1948. Then as a Aircraft Mechanic Crew Chief, he was allowed to fly co- pilot on production test flights in the SA- 16 Albatross Rescue Amphibian and S2F- 1 Tracker Sub Hunter. Ernie then became a Quality Control Inspector working on the F- 14 Tomcat Fighter, A6E Intruder Bomber, Apollo Lunar Modules, EA6B Prowler and ended on the E2C Hawkeye. Ernie told how Grumman started out as an aircraft company in a Baldwin auto garage on January 2, 1930 with six office men and fifteen shop mechanics. They then relocated to Valley Stream in 1931, in 1932 - 1936 they occupied a factory in Farmingdale adjacent to the Fairchild Aircraft Company airport. Then in 1936 Grumman came to Bethpage to a property which was a polo field, potato fields, a chicken farm, and the rest scrub g oak and pine trees for a price of g about $ 300.00 an acre, co Construction of Plant one took place ™ on October 26, 1936 under the Q supervision of Clinton Towl and >^ opened on April 8, 1937 with a staff ^ of 362. In 1939 the staff grew to 813. Fifth four model F3F- 2 Bi- Plane m Fighters were built in Plant # 1 and c£ delivered between July 1937 and LJJ May 1938. Twenty seven Model g F3F- 3 Bi Planes were built and § = delivered between December 1938 fr\ and May 1939. From June to CD November, 1938 thirty Model J2F- 2 ^ Amphibian Bi- Planes on floats called ^ " Ducks" were built. The Grumman o Model G- 21, twin engine high wing w amphibian " Goose" was built and g made its first flight on May 3, 1937. A °- total of 12 were delivered and more LU built in the early 1940' s. Grumman built its first monoplane fighter known as XF4F- 2 " Wildcat" and made its initial test flight from the new Bethpage airstrip on September 2, 1937. Then production led to the F4F- 3 and F4F- 4 which had a folding wing design which allowed five planes to park in the space of two on the aircraft carrier deck. A total of 1,169 Wildcats were built in Plant # 1. Plant # 1 consisted of a high- bay section, 400 ft. long and 120 ft. wide. Flanking this area were two low- bay sections 140 ft. long by 20 ft. wide. A long rectangular office building paralleled the low- bay area on the side facing the field. A 100 ft. x 100 ft. hangar was joined to the main building on the west end. Facing the railroad tracks was a small power house. At the end of the program Mark and Richard presented Ernie with a beautiful model of F4F- 3 Wildcat.

US OPEN 2002 REMEMBERED - Bob Albertson spent some of the snowy winter days going through our accumulation of newspaper clippings, magazine articles, souvenirs, miscellaneous forms, and memorabilia relating to the US Open 2002. They are now organized in a large, acid free scrap book. A great way to document the happenings leading up to the Open, during the Open, and summary of the events following the Open. THANK YOU - We thank the Rafenski family for donating Bethpage High School Year Books for our archives. Especially interesting was a Farmingdale High School year book from 1934 which listed alumni residing in Central Park and attended Farmingdale High School. Some of the notable alumni of the class of ' 34: Eugene Calessi, Elias Friedman, Walter Granberg, Frances Jorgensen, Catherine Klinke, Walter Looney, Vito Parisi, Jerry Sisia, George Schaaf, Lucille Schaaf, Lillian Rowehl, Pauline Waldman and Benjamin Waldman. Alonzo Gibbs was a part of the class of 1934 and he wrote a poem dedicated to the class of ' 34. An opportunity for Alonzo to acKnowiedge the four years that have rushed away and looking ahead to new tomorrows. Fortunately for us, Alonzo with his wife Iris dedicated a good part of their tomorrows to document our local history dating back to the Bethpage Purchase thru to glimpses of Long Island life in the 1960' s. We thank Jack Gifford for his contributions to our Encyclopedia. He sent us articles and pictures about a very prominent family of Central Park in the early 1900' s, the Jeremiah W. Robinson family. The following information was taken from an undated newspaper article ( probably the Nassau Daily Review Star, sometime in 1941) by David W. Beauchamp. The article gave an account about Jeremiah Robinson, a country squire, who was a well-known sand and gravel pit operator in Nassau County. Some of his construction jobs included the paving of the main streets of Farmingdale and Oyster Bay, and he also supplied material for the building of the Nassau County Tuberculosis Hospital in Farmingdale. Jeremiah also enjoyed riding and jumping his saddle horses, ancHo hunt and fish in the fields and shores of Long Island. He was a member of the Matatuck Gun Club. His home was a large estate on Broadway ( now Plain view Road) and Hay Path Lane ( now Haypath Road) , where he lived with his wife, the former Jenny Underhill, and his three sons. His sons, Alec and Shaw, were prominent polo players on Long Island and New Jersey and they had a string of seven polo ponies. Lewis, the youngest son, graduated from Colgate University and with his two brothers worked for their father, and had their own home on the Robinson estate. It was a long hard pull from a farm boy to a country squire, Jeremiah admitted. His father came to Central Park, when the surrounding countryside was all farmland, as a tin smith. A trade learned by Jeremiah. His school days were spent in a little red school house located on Broadway ( this schoolhouse was located on the former Gifford property at 593 Broadway). His fondness for animals, especially horses, dates back to his boyhood days on his fathers 50 acre farm. IT IS GREAT HEARING FROM YOU - Kathy and Bob Lentino, friends now residing in Florida, joined our society and sent the following message to us. " Thank you very much for sending us your newsletter. Bob and I enjoy reading it, even though we did not come from Bethpage. Bob spent 39 years working for Grumman along with his three sons and his father. Also, his mother worked there during the war. I myself grew up in Seaford, but enjoyed horseback riding and sleigh riding down " the Big Hill" in Bethpage Park. A STEP BACK IN TIME WITH LEO'S LINES - Our society gets many inquiries regarding the demolition of the famed Beau Sejour Restaurant. In the January 2, 1975 issue of the BETHPAGE TRIBUNE, Leo Schottland gives his eyewitness account of the demise of the Beau, and the following article tells that story. ' The caterpillar with its giant shovel was doing its deadly work. Each time it assaulted the historic old landmark - another part of the structure crumbled beneath its power and weight. The Beau Sejour was dying - boom, boom, boom - and with its demise goes one of the finest testimonials to charm of the little hamlet of Bethpage. Those of us who knew the Beau - who had dined in its lovely dining rooms - filled with portraits and replicas of a happier time - are sad with its passing. It held so many nostalgic memories - gentle reminders of delightful gatherings - art shows and lawn picnics, political rallies and even from tourists from over the sea. Our Bethpage Rotary Club was founded in its halls some twenty years ago, and that is where we met and held our functions all these years. Now it is all gone—. Built circa 1852 by William C. Hauxhurst of Farmingdale. The Beau served as a mansion estate from 1852 to 1865 for Alexander McConachie and his son- in- law cat Society Update Jeremiah T. Weaver. They were land speculators and developers of what is now Bethpage. It was Mr. Weaver who named the hamlet Central Park, only to have it revert back to its original name of Bethpage which it carries today. Weaver lived at the mansion while serving as second postmaster for the area and used the estate as the post office during his tenure. Standing with our young local historian, Terry Hunt, I listened attentively as he recounted those bygone days and shared with him the sadness of seeing the end of an era. The bricks, Terry said, were built in the old brick works founded by Ephraim Smith ( now called Nassau Brickyard) on old Round Swamp Road and many of them still bore the legend, E. Smith. The yard was opened about 1851. Bob Purcell, the T. V. Expert, stood with us and took some snaps of the dying buildings as we all marveled at the strength of sixteen inch walls of mortar and brick. Great six by ten beams came to light none the worse for wear after almost 125 years of service. Seeing the old landmark ( which could have been turned into a museum) die, make one wonder about sensitivity and intelligence of government and politicians. A mile up the road in the community park, a giant monstrosity of a roof has been built over the ice skating rink. To what purpose was over $ 300,000.00 of taxpayers money shoveled into such an ugly project. This could have easily saved the Beau Sejour and environs for the community. But no one was consulted - the people in Bethpage weren't consulted - and the plum gatherers and boondogglers live on to perform their abortions while historic beauty dies. The Beau Sejour had lovely trees and its virgin acreage could have been converted into an oasis of beauty for the Bethpage community. Walks, gardens and benches for neighbors to gather and the quietude for young and old alike can never be manufactured overnight. It took centuries to grow those magnificent trees. It was all over in a day as the giant caterpillar devoured its prey." AN EVENING OF PRAYER AND REMEMBRANCE AT ST. MARTIN OF TOURS CHURCH - Two years ago on March 19 our country entered into the combat phase of " Operation Iraqi Freedom." Since then close to 1,500 men and women have given their lives and thousands have been wounded. On Tuesday, March 22, St. Martin of Tours congregation gathered for a prayerful reading of the name, rank, age and hometown of those who have been killed ( the readings took approximately 3 hours). A time to remember and reflect on those who gave all they had so others can experience the freedom we know. At this time, we offered prayer for peace and safe return of all who serve our country. FRIENDS OF THE BETHPAGE METHODIST CEMETERY - Sunday, March 13, a group of concerned residents met to discuss the need for restoring this historic, sacred burial ground which was established in 1835. The cemetery is nonsectarian, located on Route 107 and Central Avenue on one acre of land. People from all walks of life are buried there, and they all made contributions to our community. Now it is up to us to maintain this area and give it the dignity it deserves. They need HELP! They are planning a clean up of the cemetery before Memorial Day, and hope they can count on our community to lend a hand. I will keep you informed as to when the clean up will take place, and there will be notification in our local papers, The Bethpage Tribune and The Bethpage Newsgram. Your thoughts and suggestions are welcomed at mpcrump@ hotmail. com or visit on the web www. bethpageumc. org APRIL DAYS - Our Jewish friends will be celebrating Passover which will begin at sundown on April 23 and end on Sunday, May 1. We wish them a Happy Passover. A reminder to Vote for Bethpage Library Trustee and budget on April 11,2- 8 PM at the library. A reproduction of the Vietnam Wall, which is three-quarters the size of the original in Washington, will be lit and on display around- the- clock at Marjorie R. Post Community Park, April 29 to May 1. A reading of local soldiers lost, a 21 gun salute, and other events are planned. For information call 516- 797- 7900. BETHPAGE COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETS - Thursday, March 3, the Bethpage Community Council met at the Bethpage Library, the meeting was called to order by President Teh Black at 7: 30 P. M. It was a very informative meeting addressing the current concerns of our community. * The renovation to the Bethpage Community Park was addressed by Deputy Commissioner of Parks of the Town of Oyster Bay Robert Walker, and Phil Shade, a representative from H2M, who addressed the concerns regarding the contamination in the park. The clean up will be done by the Town of Oyster Bay starting approximately in April and targeted to be completed in November of 2005. There was no additional information regarding the size or location of the proposed, covered ice rinks and the reconfiguration of the park. The Parks Department is still working on getting the most effective use from the area. The concern was brought up, once again, regarding the dangerous intersection of Cherry Avenue and Stewart Avenue where the existing park entrance is located. This concern is being looked into with the reconfiguration of the park. The utilization of the park was discussed to acknowledge the use by the people who reside and pay taxes to the Bethpage Park District and those residing in the Town of Oyster Bay. * The Borella Field property will not be refurbished till fall of 2005. * There is no new development regarding the 105 acres currently owned by the Navy which is to be turned over to Nassau County in the near future. We are waiting for Nassau County to take possession of the land so they can move ahead with the planning process. We hope the plan will create clean, revenue producing, high- tech, high skilled industries to our area, as well as, much needed facilities for family recreation. Again, we must be vigilant regarding the use of this land and realize that the land will be cleaned for industrial use standards. Councilwoman Mary McCaffrey reminded us that any changes in zoning or variances required will have to be approved by the Town of Oyster Bay and public meetings will be held. You still have the opportunity to share your thoughts, concerns and suggestions regarding this vital change in our community in the near future by going to the website at: www. nassaucountyny. gov/ vision 105 and voice your concerns and give your opinion. Mike Steiniger is on the task force to keep the council informed of the progress. * The Town of Oyster Bay applied for an $ 85,000.00 grant for underwriting a process for a professional planner to work with residents and business owners toward a vision plan for revitalization down towns. This program, Working for a Quality Community, was made available by the State of New York and President Teri Black, on behalf of the Bethpage Community Council, has written a letter supporting the Town of Oyster Bay. * Teri acknowledged the support of Mike Steiniger by helping in setting up a working data base for the council. * REMEMBER, The Bethpage Community Council meets on the first Thursday of the month, and we welcome and encourage representatives from local organizations and Bethpage residents to be in attendance to learn and share the happenings in our community. Your thoughts and opinions are important. CONDOLENCES - 1 thank Gene Mazzara for sending me the following information on the passing of Helen Nylund Norman.

As students entered the school gym, all eyes were immediately drawn to a 20- foot diameter model of the earth. In conjunction with the curriculum requirements, students in fourth grade are learning about our changing planet and the geographical and environmental elements that affect it, said fourth grade Teacher, Elisa Kane. " Currently, they are learning about the continents, the rain forest, longitude and latitude, land forms, map scales and all about New York," said Ms. Kane. Each of three fourth grade classes entered the interior of the huge " Earth Balloon," large enough to accommodate 30 students, and had a 40 minute lesson in topics that tied into their school curriculum. According to PTA co- chairs of the event, Diana Schatzell, Maryann Koenig and Barbara Hayes, this program, in its second year at the Charles Campagne Elementary School is different and the kids look forward to it. After stepping out of the huge replica of the earth, students, Elizabeth Simmons and John Giannuzzi, said they liked the geography lesson, especially learning about the seven continents. " I like to see how big Australia is because my Dad comes from Australia," said Elizabeth Simmons, a big smile spreading across her face. Presented by John Bilotta, a professor of environmental education at the University of Minnesota for the last 15 years, the hands- on, unique " Earth Balloon" program. is an innovative activity that not only delves into social studies, it covers earth science, environmental science, current events, history and math. He brings the program into schools and festivals all over the world. " The response has been great. It's a fun, interactive way to get to learn about the world and the scale of it," said Mr. Bilotta. The fourth grade classes at Bethpage Charles Campagne Elementary School had an innovative, hands- on experience during the PTA- sponsored " Earth Balloon" program which explored geography, history, environmental science, math and current events. Pictured: Ms. Weinstein's fourth grade class, along with program presenter, John Bilotta. Bethpage Nursery School Happenings The winter was long at Bethpage Nursery School but we loved playing with snow indoors. The fourth grade students at Charles Campagne Elementary School had a question and answer session during the presentation of " Earth Balloon," a unique program that touches on curriculum based topics such as geography, history, environmental science, math and current events. We read The Mitten and enjoyed dramatizing the story. We pretended our parachute was a giant mitten. Wow! That play doh table is so busy. We're making pets with buttons, felt, straws and of course, play floh.

The students in grades kindergarten to five at Bethpage Central Boulevard Elementary School created unique " Earth Day" messages in honor of Earth Day, a global celebration of the wonders of life on our planet. Each grade combined their art work with written messages, then attached them to the front of supermarket shopper's bags. The decorated bags will be distributed to shoppers at the Bethpage King Kullen supermarket chain in the hopes of communicating messages of harmony, rejuvenation and revitalization of our planet to the entire community. Coordinated through the efforts of Kindergarten Teacher, Janet Casella, she said the purpose of the school wide project was to celebrate Earth Day and encourage all the parents in the school community to " keep our world clean." The students in second grade made beautiful Earth Day posters which adorned the walls of the lobby in the school. Fourth grade student, Shakida Sangi said she created an art project in class displayed the message, " Reduce, Reuse and Recycle." " It's important to pay attention to our world," said Shakida.

Versatile tee
I bought six of these at the sale price (with additional shipping discounts)so they were great value. The colors are true to the pictures and the quality of the fabric is good - it's thick enough not to show lines but still cool. The neck is attractive and the longer sleeves (to the elbow) make the tee work-place appropriate. My only complaint is that the vivid blue tee had a very noticeable manufacturing defect on the shoulder and so I'm waiting for a replacement.
Baltimore MD
Good quality
Purchased 2 of these and the colors are very vivid! The tees are also made very well. I am very happy with this purchase.
memphis, tennessee
Love these tops
Love these tops...I have two...white and banana cream...very versatile...I've been layering with them...good quality. I will get more in the future.
Perfect knit top
I am so sick of the tissue thin knit tops out there and wish designers would get the message. I have been searching for an affordable, classic designed knit top and came across this one and the horseshoe neckline top. I read the reviews and took a chance by ordering the basics; white, navy and deep red. I am SO happy with the quality of this top I have invested a small sum and bought both styles in white (2 sets), black, navy, red, berry blue and lavender. I wish you offered dark chocolate brown and a cream color but maybe that will come in the fall.
Very Flattering
This top is very flattering. When I received it, I was afraid the spandex would make it too clingy, but it skims the body just right. I bought the banana cream and love it; going to order more right now.

Dressy Yet Casual
I bought this top b/c of the flattering neckline. The quality is very good. Can be worn alone or under a jacket neatly. Dressier than a simple tee yet perfect for everyday. I am buying a couple more. It says to machine wash in cold water & line dry which is how I wash virtually all of my tops.

"Social Justice Through a Career as a Self-employed Midwife," a public talk by Dolly Browder
From site: News & Events
Date: Thursday, October 4th, 2012
Time: 7:30 pm
Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Location: Richardson Auditorium, Morse-Ingersoll Hall
Sponsored by: Coleman Foundation Chair in Entrepreneurship / Contact: Warren Palmer 363-2345
Contact: pamer
Dolly Browder, a well-known midwife from Montana, has played an important role in the midwifery movement, both in Montana and in the nation. In her talk, Dolly will describe the evolution of her career as a self-employed midwife, how her career enabled her to pursue personal goals of social justice, remaking birth into a process controlled by and serving mothers and families. She will then address issues of racism in maternity care. Dolly has made her living since the early 1980s as a self-employed midwife, holding birthing classes in her home and serving as midwife at almost 1,000 in-home births. Dolly last spoke at the College in 1994 when her daughter was a student here.
In 1989, Dolly was instrumental in helping the Montana legislature write and implement the statute and regulations for licensed midwives. In 1991 she became the first licensed midwife in Montana and served as chair and vice-chair of the state licensing board for 14 years. She has trained many students of midwifery and helped establish the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM), a national professional organization for Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs). She served as the Secretary of NACPM from 2002-2012. She is currently working to promote the work and practice of Certified Professional Midwives through NACPM and supporting the passage of HB1054 to recognize Certified Professional Midwives on the federal level with the Midwives and Mothers in Action Campaign (MAMA) Campaign.
Dolly Browder's talk is sponsored by the Center for Entrepreneurship in Liberal Education at Beloit (CELEB), the Coleman Endowed Chair in Entrepreneurship, the Department of Economics, the Department of Psychology, the Health Professions Advisory Committee, the Health & Society Program and the Women's and Gender Studies Program.
This event is free and open to the campus and community.

" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long.

That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster

Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3

" I hope this ongoing review will help you guys out a little. I will keep adding to this as time progresses and will maybe end up reviewing more Fischer IEM's in this thread. I am not a professional reviewer like some of you guys here and English isn't my native language so bear with me. Now, onwards! My main mission objective is to find the best sub-$100 IEMs in the world. After reading..." --Negakinu
