The Central Boulevard Elementary School community celebrated its 50th anniversary with great fanfare and a bevy of wonderful festivities. Coordinated by the PTA, Parents, Deborah Nimmo, Linda Mangano and Teachers, Barbara Cataldi and Nanette Girolamo, the festivities began on Wednesday, June 1 with students dressing in the theme of day - dressing up in 50' s • style attire. The PTA, who supplied " penny" candies, gave students a taste of what it was like to be a kid in the 50' s when just a few pennies bought lots of " penny" candies. On Thursday, June 2, the entire school community was invited to a ribbon cutting ceremony and unveiling of the new CBS sign, donated by the PTA. The sign, which contains a plaque bearing the words " 50 Years of Excellence" is a welcome addition to the Central Boulevard School. During the ceremony, County Legislator Ed Mangano, whose children once attended the school, presented the school with a citation, along with Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto, who was joined by Town Councilwomen Mary McCaffery and Rose Walker and Town Clerk Steve Labriola. Students learned about the history of the school through the recollections of several speakers who grew up in the area, even from some who attended Bethpage School District as youngsters.

Central Boulevard School Community for many years said she has many fond memories of CBS. She began kindergarten in the school and is a graduate of Bethpage High School. Mrs. Tichy and" her husband, Board of Education member, Donald Tichy, are raising their own children in the very same community in which she grew up. ' This brings back a lot of good memories of when I was a child," said Mrs. Tichy. " It's an emotional, happy experience - it's an honor to be here for this.' After singing the Central Boulevard School song, students placed a variety of items they created in class, including artwork, poems and essays about their favorite books, movies, actors, sports figures and music into a " time capsule." The time capsule will be opened in 2055. The students also wrote predictions on what life might be like at CBS in 2055, and wrote some of their sentiments about the present state of the school in a commemorative journal. " I love CBS because it is a wonderful school and it's filled with laughter and joy," wrote fifth grader Sophia Vitale. " I learned a lot of things," added first grader Erin Colon. " Now I can read to my Mom and write my own letters to Santa Claus."

Nominated along with Supervisor Venditto were Councilmen Angelo A. Delligatti and Chris J. Coschignano and Elizabeth A. Faughnan for Town Board, and Town Clerk Steven L. Labriola. Seeking his fifth term, Supervisor Venditto brings more than two decades of experience in public service to the Supervisor's office. He served as Town Attorney from 1991 to December 1997 and as a Town Councilman from 1981 to 1991. He is a fiscal conservative, who works hard to make government efficient and provide quality public services at the lowest costs to taxpayers. While other levels of government are facing economic difficulties, under Supervisor Venditto's leadership, the Town of Oyster Bay has a strong financial outlook and has earned an A1 credit rating from Moody's Investors Service and an AA credit rating from Standard and Poor's. Supervisor Venditto developed, and the voters overwhelmingly approved, the Town's acclaimed $ 30 million SEA Fund for open space preservation and park improvements and expansion, under which the Town acquired more than 79 acres of land and undertook a variety of park improvement projects, including new playing fields, two new community centers, new playgrounds, and refurbishing pools and basketball courts, to name a few. In 2004, the Supervisor proposed SEA Fund II to continue the work started under the original SEA Fund, and it, too, won overwhelming voter support in November 2004. Under his direction, the Town undertook an unprecedented renovation and refurbishment of Town parks, beaches and community playgrounds. Supervisor Venditto has also taken the lead on environmental fronts. In February 2004, he formed the Green Energy Task force to develop and implement clean energy programs and initiatives throughout the Town. In March 2005, the Town of Oyster Bay has become the first Town on Long Island to adopt an annual Clean Energy Action Plan. Knowing the importance of proper planning to ensure against the over- development of the Town, Supervisor Venditto initiated the PERFECT CREDIT NOT REQUIRED! 1s' & 2nd Mortgages Debt Consolidation, Personal and Automobiles Low Rates No Fees Fast Resutls Call Toll Free: 1 - 866- 406- 5557 O o CO LU ~) CD DC h- LLI O £ X I— LJJ CD LU X LJJ < CALL ME TO UPGRADE TO ALLSTATE AUTO INSURANCE.

Responding to the need for housing for first- time homebuyers, under Supervisor Venditto's leadership, the Town of Oyster Bay became the first municipality on Long Island to have a separate zoning classification for starter housing, known as Next Generation Housing. He also facilitated the development of 1,038 new units of affordable senior housing, bringing the Town total to 1,510 units with more on the way. Supervisor Venditto and his wife, Christine, reside in North Massapequa along with their two sons, Nicholas and Michael, and a daughter, Joanna. Town Councilman Angelo A. Delligatti is highly regarded as dedicated public servant whose integrity, intelligence and fairness are unmatched. He has compiled a solid record of achievements in Town government. He served as a Councilman from 1985 to 1987 before winning election as Town Supervisor in 1987 and 1989 and then as Town Councilman in 1993. He initiated the Town's award-winning S O. R. T. recycling program and S. T. O. P. program for the disposal of hazardous substances used in and around the home. He also implemented one of the most aggressive tree planting and tree replacement programs, which has earned a ' Tree City USA" designation for eight consecutive years from the National Arbor Day Foundation. A true fiscal conservative, Councilman Delligatti believes that the efficient management of government can produce quality public services within the framework of a fiscally responsible budget. He has helped bring in budgets that have consistently controlled spending. Councilman Delligatti has been in the private practice of law for more than 20 years and is also involved in a number of civic and fraternal organizations. He has resided in the Massapequas for more than 40 years. He and his wife, Mary, are the parents of two sons, Adam and Paul. Town Councilman Chris J.

He has a wealth of government and community service, including serving as an Aide to Congressman Norman F. Lent, director of Operations for the Town of Oyster Bay and as Assemblyman representing the 12th Assembly District for seven years. During his first term as Town Clerk, he expanded office hours and improved systems and procedures resulting in increased operating efficiency.

Town Clerk Labriola was born and raised in Massapequa Park and educated in Massapequa public schools. He currently resides in Massapequa with his wife and two daughters. Supervisor Venditto said, " Representing the residents of the Town of Oyster Bay is extremely rewarding. It has been gratifying to see many of my goals achieved, such as getting the Town on sound financial footing, helping create more housing opportunities for seniors and the next generation, acquiring more open spaces and parkland, and generally helping our Town maintain its standing as one of the most desirable places to live. There is more my colleagues and I would like to do in, and for, this Town, though. I look forward to working with them and having a dynamic new voice on the Town Board in Ms. Faughnan, who is already well known to those of us in Town government, as well as many residents, as an energetic and dedicated worker in any endeavor she undertakes.

Coschignano is pleased to announce the launch of his new website, www. tobcjc. com.

" Just as importantly, I wanted the Web site to enable constituents to communicate and help each other. This Web site addresses all of these needs."

The site also includes a Councilman's " Biog," an E- Mail Alert System and other helpful information for Town residents. Local community groups will also benefit from www. tobcjc. com.

Over the next few months Councilman Coschignano has even more planned for his website, including the addition of useful communication technology. " It's an exciting and effective way to reach people and I invite all residents to visit and re- visit the site," Councilman Coschignano said.

It is great hearing from you - William Ahem Jr., who now resides in Florida, sent the following stories he would like to share with our members about his experiences of running into people from Bethpage all around the world. " Reading the March Newsletter and scanning the list of members I am reminded of the small world we live in. Here are a couple of personal examples: During WWII my good friend Jay Simmons path and mine crossed in Cape Girardeau, MO. He was in the Navy at the time I served in the Air Force at Scott Field, IL We exchanged uniforms and spent a great weekend together chasing girls as a member of the other's service. I don't remember who won the bet. While stationed in Mitchel Air Force Base at the beginning of the Korean War I helped establish a training unit and wound up giving my brother Tom basic training. At one point we had a picture in Newsday of Tom saluting me for a three day pass. My trip to Korea during the Korean War was on a troop ship with 200 Air Force and 3000 Marines. While we had the run of the deck, the Marines were rotated, a few at a time, from the " holds" to the deck for air. Standing at the rail I looked to my right and who was standing there but Paul Dana. I'll let him tell you about it. During the war I also crossed paths with Bill Margot in Tokyo, Japan. We sneaked into his unit area and I managed to use the bunk of a friend who was away on leave. I also have the very fond memories of Grumman, Plant One. My grammar school Principal, Paul Gilbert, then Personnel Director of Grumman, hired me, as a summer employee, while in High School to work in the Gas Rationing Department. I still have a copy of my first pay check. A few years before that Mr. Gilbert also taught me how to twirl spaghetti at a supper in the auditorium of the old grade school in Bethpage when he, as principal, saw Central Park Historical Society Update me with it all over my face and making loud slurping noises." Mildred Kesler shared with us her Life on Parkview Circle. " My husband Joe, and I and our 18 month old daughter, Mil moved into 41 Parkview Circle in mid December of 1957. We had moved from a three room apartment in Kew Gardens. My husband was 31 years old and I was 22. My husband had been transferred to Fairchild Graphic Equipment on Sunnyside Blvd. in Plainview. The house was $ 17,500.00 and my husband put $ 10,000 down and then realized he needed a car and I remembered I had saved $ 1,500.00 and we were able to buy a blue Chevrolet Bel Air sedan. It was all so exciting. I was so delighted with the little park by Bethpage Elementary School which was on Broadway and the lovely tree lined streets especially Maple. I had no car so shopping was at the A and P and I loved the little variety store next door and buying toys for Mil. When my husband was not working we went grocery shopping at Foodtown in Plainview and over to Sears in Hicksville. When the shopping plaza on Stewart Avenue was built, I was delighted because I still had no car of my own. There were many young families about the circle and mothers walked about with their children, plenty of stay at home moms. I was lonely and missed my mother so I spent time and talked to the grandmothers who were outside enjoying the sun or working on the property, or babysitting. Mil was joined in time by two other sisters. They didn't have to be taken on play dates but went outside and there was always somebody to play with. When Joe first went to work, he loved driving on Plainview Road and going past the last remaining farmland and a cow on the grounds of the now Charles Campagne School. Joe was a former World War II veteran serving in Italy right after high school. He made friends among the men who were always out there cutting grass ( no landscapes) and planting trees and bushes on the former potato field. In the early morning in the fifties you would occasionally see rabbits running across the lawn. This was a very happy time with lovely memories!!!" We thank you Mildred for sharing your fond memories of n^ m m am W0K3KMMMMMMMBKMMMMM living and raising your family in Bethpage. Joe Olsen told us he enjoys reading our newsletter and saddened to learn the passing of Gene Albertson. He was in Gene's class in school and played ball with him in Farmingdale High School ( Continued on Paze 8) CIMINEIil S PIZZ Serving the Community for Over 16 Yean!! 427 Central Avenue, Bethpage 9 3 9 ' 0 0 0 S ENJOY 1 0% OFF YOUR ENTIRE MEAL IN DINING ROOM With This Coupon Not Valid on Holidays* Exp. 6/ 17* 5 Limited to Parties of 6 or Lass . ._ .

We do have information in our Encyclopedia about the farms listed under agriculture, and we are always looking for more information about the early days of Central Park/ Bethpage. We welcome any information one can share with us. You can view the Encyclopedia of Central Park/ Bethpage, a work in progress, at http:/ Ywww. bethpagelibrary. info. We were happy to hear from Ed Villafranca, who now lives in Virginia, and he signed up his three sisters as members of our society. All are Bethpage High School graduates, and have since relocated. He also enrolled his 90 year old father, who at one time, served on the Bethpage Board of Education. Jim Walton sent us the below picture of the Central Park Kindergarten class of 1931.

S. regulatory community, Nassau County, Town of Oyster Bay, and the Bethpage Water District to address the concerns of the community. • An interesting presentation was made by Charles and Richard Gosline, from Farmingdale, seeking support of neighboring communities for the purpose of working together. Realizing we have the same concerns regarding redevelopment of land that was at one time defense plants in our community, traffic congestion, housing for those starting out in life, as well as, our seniors. The Goslines are seeking a strong grass roots approach of local residents to address these problems. Condolences - The Central Park Historical Society sends its sympathy to the Rafensky family and friends of the late Mary Ann Rafenski Bourque. Mary was cared for and loved by her nieces Lois and Janet Rafenski, Jean Rafenski Reynolds, Delores Van Tassell and Caroline Kielbasa. Mary had a wonderful, kind and caring spirit. She loved to tell stories about growing up in Old Bethpage and living her life in the Bethpage area. During my last visit with Mary, in early April, I encouraged her to write her stories down to share with others. After her death I received the following letter in the mail from Mary, who would have celebrated her 95th birthday the end of this month, I would like to share it in part with you. Back in 1976,1 was president of the seniors. The K of C members were kind enough to let us use their building for our meetings. For the Christmas Holiday we voted to put up a Christmas tree, with. proper trimmings made by the members in our group, in the King Kullen parking lot. The fire men helped us by putting up the lights after I tried to climb a ladder to decorate the tree. Then Paul Wilson came by with hot coffee and cookies to warm us which was appreciated. We were all glad of a job " well done!" Guess what happened? The following morning the tree and lights were down in a pool of water in the parking lot. My heart sank, all that work and all those kind people who helped. By: Ann Albertson Maritime Festival Teaches Students About Life Within the Ocean Depths Third grade students of Bethpage School District attended the third annual Maritime Festival hosted by Bethpage High School where students were able to touch live oceanic organisms, like these star fish. At the annual Maritime Festival held at Bethpage High School, third grade youngsters of Bethpage School District got a taste of what it's like to be a fish or sea mammal living in the Atlantic Ocean, the vast body of water that surrounds Long Island. The festival, hosted by students of science research, forensics, physics, biology, chemistry and AP biology classes, and Teacher, Lawrence Portuese was a fun- filled, educational event with many hands-on activities for all third grade classes. The entire lobby and Little Theater of the High School was transformed into a giant nautical work area, divided into stations, including the touch tanks, scuba diving, rope and fish printing station. At the helm of each station were knowledgeable High School students who taught enthusiastic third graders how to perform various tasks, such as how to tie a fishing rope and dissect a fish. Students enjoyed the " touch ' tank," a large container filled with salty ocean water in which they were able to pick up and examine starfish, squid, eel, horseshoe crabs and other sea critters. Brian Donigian, a third grade student in Mr. Sarube's class explained why he liked the touch tank best. " The touch tank was fun because it had digesting fish and horshoe crabs that you could look at and hold in your hand," said Brian. Many third graders were more than eager to help dissect a blue fish, said Nick Longo, Matthew Competello and Will Wulff, the seniors who helped them perform the task. " We showed them the external and internal parts of the blue fish and explained how the tails of fish and mammals are different," explained Nick. " The orientation of a mammal's tail is different - it goes up and down, while fish goes side to side." ' The overall response was pretty good," added Matthew. " Most of the kids were pretty excited, even ecstatic. And most of them were interested in dissection and forensics." Lawrence Portuese, teacher of forensics and science research classes, has organized the Maritime Festival for the past three years. " It started three years ago when I was teaching environmental science - older kids were showing what they learned to younger kids and the kids look forward to it," explained Mr. Portuese. " There's a bit of history involved too - Long Island had a large whaling industry. Areas such as Bay Port and Sayville were big whaling towns," he said. " But we are also passing along an environmental message - be careful not to throw fishing line or plastic bags in the water to preserve life. Sea turtles, an endangered species, confuse plastic bags for jelly fish. This program instills an appreciation in the kids and teaches them that we live on an island with extremely rich oceans around us which are full of life." Central Blvd. School Celebrates 50 Years ( Continued from page 1) Way back in 1955. Notice the neckties and fancy dresses. Dressed in their " Caring, Believing and Succeeding" 50th anniversary t- shirts, students at CBS are still smiling, laughing and proudly stating that they are " NUMBER ONE! WAY BACK WHEN: Recollections on the Early Years By Ken S. Blau When Central Boulevard opened after Labor Day in September, 1955, there was much excitement and some confusion. Teachers, children, parents, and workers arrived early. Many school buses were arriving with junior high students. The Junior High occupied the 2nd floor of Central Boulevard as a temporary measure until facilities for those students would be complete. Workmen were completing painting in the hallways and laying floor tile in some of the classrooms. Ninety- nine members of the district's teaching staff were hired for the 1955 school year and most of these teachers were assigned to Central Boulevard, Kindergarten through grade 6 and to Junior High School grades 7 & 8. It was a time when everyone was young and eager to begin new professional relationships. It didn't take long for things to settle down and Central Boulevard to begin its climb to excellence. Most unique during the first few years were the double sessions: 8: 00AM to 12: 00 noon and 1: 00pm to 4: 00pm. Lunch and recreation were before school for the afternoon session and after school for the morning session. In mid- February, the sessions switched and the morning session became the afternoon session. Students shared desks and textbooks. Some classes had more than 40 students. Room arrangements had to be agreed upon by both sharing teachers. Students were not allowed to take home textbooks. Teachers shared their desks as well, sometimes not easily because of individual personalities. Most humorous were the notes written each day by teachers indicating missing textbooks or rearranged desks. The children particularly enjoyed playing pranks by switching desks and textbooks. With all the challenges, the beginning years at Central Boulevard School were wonderful, exciting, and memorable, proving that teachers and children Students and parents were also treated to a slide show of images from the last 50 years, along with musical performance by the Select Chorus, under the direction of Music Teacher, Amy McGrath. Students sang a medley of songs covering 50 years of music from 1955 to the present. Steven Furrey, Principal of Central Boulevard Elementary School since 1997, grew up in Bethpage and is a graduate of Bethpage High School. He has seen many positive changes to the building since he began his tenure, including modernization of the CBS School Library with a computerized card catalogue, installation of new windows, doors, new roof and new computers in every classroom. Academic improvements include the inclusion program for grades three, four and five. Of the 50th anniversary celebration at CBS, Mr. Furrey said he was pleased to be a part of this historical event. ' This is an appropriate, heartfelt tribute for everyone who was affiliated with Central Boulevard School and community - the students, parents, teachers and administrators," said Mr. Furrey. ' The events were a reflection of the past 50 years and it was all done with a great deal of care, compassion and pride." Central Boulevard also held a special reception for staff, where Mr. Furrey and past Principals Brad Gaito and Ken Blau were honored. Mr. Blau began his teaching career at CBS in its inaugural year. Also honored was Dr. Maura Olson, a student at the school when it opened who went on to teach at all three existing elementary schools in the Bethpage School District, and has been at CBS since 1981. Dr. Olson is a past recipient of the PTA Honorary Life Award. Also honored were this year's retirees, as well as employees who have worked at CBS for 25 years or longer. " Over the past 50 years, the Central Boulevard School building and athletic fields have served our community well," said Bethpage Superintendent of Schools Dr. Richard S. Marsh. " Now, on its golden anniversary, we celebrate just how much the school has meant to the children of Bethpage and all of the people who have had the golden opportunity to enjoy the graces of this majestic building and extensive fields. May the next 50 years be just as special." Congratulations to all those who have made Central Boulevard a great place to learn for the last 50 years!

Brad Gaito Brad Gaito was born shortly after the war, July 19,1946 in Warrenton, Virginia to two second generation European immigrants. Although neither of his parents attended college, they were determined to have both their children college educated. They were successful in that both Mr. Gaito and his brother received advanced degrees. During Brad Gaito's first twelve years of life his family moved from state to state several times. They finally settled down on Long Island in time for Brad to start seventh grade. Mr. Gaito has considered himself an " Islander" ever since. When asked, Brad Gaito said he believes the most important educational events during his school and college were his involvement in numerous sports, musical and artistic endeavors. As a. result Brad learned early on the importance of these activities as basis for enhanced learning and building self esteem. Throughout his career as a teacher, district level and building level administrator, Mr. Gaito held these beliefs paramount. He firmly believes in Gardner's theories involving multiple intelligences and has tried to adhere to its tenets as one of the more important foundations of his educational philosophy. To this end, he was fortunate that throughout his career, he found himself in a district that strongly supported strong academic programs, the fine arts and athletics. As a teacher, an administrator and through his involvement with clubs and various organizations within the school district, he was able to help many of his students develop an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Mr. Gaito believes this approach is a most effective mechanism to enhance a student's learning potential and academic success. Since 1968, including a wonderful marriage to his wife, Lois, the birth, education and successful career of his daughter Lauren, Mr. Gaito was employed by the Bethpage School District. A career, as he looks back, which was marked with very few regrets. He had the pleasure of teaching in every school in the district and believes that to be not only an honor but a rather unusual accomplishment. During the years as junior high teacher, high school teacher, district supervisor, principal, elementary science specialist, and science department chair, Brad Gaito always found a supportive community, a truly professional staff, and most would agree, many of the nicest children on Long Island. No matter any and all outsiders. He credits both the parents and all members of the Bethpage educational community for this fact. His goal, as an educator, was to maintain this most favorable attribute and he believes he has done just that. With the retirement of Mr. Ken Blau, Brad Gaito applied for and was granted the position as principal of CBS. It was a position that he held for four years and Brad claims that it was one of the most rewarding and memorable career experiences. During those years he found a dedicated and extremely professional staff, a truly supportive parent organization and most importantly about five hundred sensitive, hard working and eager to please students. From standardized tests and numerous state mandates, parent reading nights to concerts, art shows to gym shows, bookworms to haunted houses, pretzel days to the Memorial Day parades, lip syncs to Grandparents day, every day was a special day. Mr. Gaito has many fond memories of CBS, memories that he stated, surface each time he comes in contact with or even sometimes just hears the name of a former student or parent. In addition, for one year following his time as principal, he served as the district elementary science specialist. Mr. Gaito stated that this was by far the most creative and one " We love CSS!" Congrats on 50 years of excellences' of the most demanding teaching assignments he has ever had. Brad o. Gaito finished his career at ^ Bethpage as a high school Biology - L teacher and the Science Department Chair. Most recently, ^ Brad Gaito had the pleasure of k> cominq out of retirement to teach at 8 the high school again for almost a year. Mr. Gaito feels as though it was ^ a tremendous pleasure working with m the children he knew as m kindergartners during his last year at x CBS, as he feels that watching 5 students grow and intellectually ^ mature is truly a sight to behold. Of - H all the memories that Bethpage has =| offered to Brad Gaito, these cz transitions by far have meant the m most to him. As he looks back at • what he calls " a most cherished 5 educational career" he realizes that ^ indeed Bethpage School District -^ was in fact the only place for him. "^ WHAT A SURPRISE! Former CBS Student and Present CBS Teacher, Maura Olson. Receives Special Recognition ON A PERSONAL NOTE: Longevity and So Much More By Linda Mangano Webster's Dictionary defines the term longevity as: a long duration of time, permanence and or durability. It is obvious that Central Boulevard Elementary School fits Webster's definition to a tee as it has proven to not only be durable and permanent, but also to have withstood the test of time. On June 2, the Central Boulevard community celebrated their golden anniversary and fifty years of excellence in education Yet it is not the longevity of the building that was or should be honored. Instead it is the people, who for half a century have been nurturing and educating so many Bethpage children, who should be honored and commended. A building is only as impressive as its inhabitants and in the case of Central Boulevard Elementary School that indeed is quite impressive. I remember my apprehension the first day I left my children at the front doors of CBS. I am sure that I was much more nervous and frightened than my boys were. Aren ' t all moms? Yet that very same day, just hours after I left them, they returned home smiling ear to ear, telling me all the wonderful and exciting new things that happened to them at school. And while the stories changed, as too did my children, their eagerness and love for CBS never changed nor did mine. Central Boulevard School and its wonderful, caring and dedicated staff and teachers liiiHIIll! became like a family to my children and me. And while I am so thankful for the wonderful education that my children received during their years at Central Boulevard, perhaps what I am most thankful for is how they were taught to be good, kind and caring people. And they learned those lessons through the goodness, through the kindness and through the caring of teachers that I, and so many others, simply adore and will never forget. The wonderful people inside this fifty year old building we call Central Boulevard have touched more lives than they could ever imagine. And it is for that reason that we celebrate the accomplishments and w anniversary of this very special place and why we salute the entire CBS family. Thank you all for fifty years of dedication, hard work, commitment, durability, compassion, excellence and understanding. Thank you for giving us all so many wonderful memories. Memories that will never be forgotten and are cherished by parents and children alike. Congratulations, too, on this special anniversary and for the longevity of your commitment to excellence in education. Please know you have changed the world, one child at a time and that you have made a positive and permanent impact on so many Bethpage children and parents who will forever look back on their years at CBS with happiness, admiration, appreciation and love. £ ...... » ; X h- LU CD LU X CM LU ( 3 < Q_ Music and chorus teacher Amy McGrath directs the Central Boulevard Select Chorus as they sang a medley of songs from 1955 to the present. They group performed everything from Chuck Berry to Britney Spears and had the crowd standing on their feet cheering and applauding their spectacular performance. Amy McGrath also had children perform the Central Boulevard song as well as a new song, which she wrote, called the Anniversary Song at the ceremony on June 2. Thanks to the heartfelt lyrics of Mrs. McGrath as well as the talented voices of CBS children there wasn't a dry eye in the house! Along with celebrating 50 years of excellence in education, CBS honored four individuals who have played a vital role in the success and wonderful history of CBS. Honored were former principal Brad Gaito, teacher and former CBS student Maura Olson, former principal Ken Blau and present principal Steve Furrey. The honorees are pictured above with their awards and Nassau County Legislator Ed Mangano. During the 5( fh Anniversary dinner celebration, which was held at the Woodland's in Woodbury, special awards of appreciation were given to CBS staff members who have been part of the Bethpage school district family for over 25 years. Congratulations to Michael Masone, 32 years; Janet Casella, 30 years; Jack Fleming, 32 years; Erv Farkas, 28 years; Sari Sharofsky, 26 years; Janet Harris, 32 years; Tim Walsh, 32 years, Maura Olson, 35 years and Nanette Girolamo, 28 years. The dinner was a truly memorable event and all those in attendance had a fantastic time. Awards of appreciation were also given to CBS retirees Ronnie Getz, Sidney Fink, Dolores McAuliffe, Stephanie Neigeborn, Irene Peterson, Yvette Rosenthal, Miriam Fogelman, Irene Silftn, Marion Sobol, Egon Teichert, Gerald Da/ ven, Frank Malone, Ken Blau and Victoria Nesnick. It was an honor to have them take part in the CBS celebration. In fact many retirees and alumni traveled from great distances to be a part of this special evening. We thank our friends from Boca Raton, Virginia and various parts of Florida. Central Boulevard Through The Years Additional Recollections • Class size averaged about 40 students and was eventually brought down to 35. • Because Grumman was continuously testing airplanes from the Bethpage airstrip, students and teachers quickly got used to the roaring of the engines, stopping instruction for a moment. • Students received polio inoculations in school under the auspices of the Nassau County Health Department. • The entire school visited the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows with special Long Island Railroad trains leaving from the original LIRR station. Although no students were left behind, we did lose several parent chaperones that missed the train back to Bethpage. Three students were very wet after falling into fountains. Students Take a Bow at Senior Awards Night Students perform the National Anthem at the Senior Awards Ceremony. The seniors of Bethpage High School, along with their families, were invited to attend a senior awards celebration in May, an event that recognized the accomplishments of more than 150 students of the Class of 2005.

The evening's festivities began with a salute to the flag, led by the Bethpage High School Color Guard, followed by the presentation of awards by Principal, John DeTommaso. According to Mr. DeTommaso, the Senior Awards program is always a special night for the faculty and staff of Bethpage High School and the community. " Our sincerest congratulations go out to all of our seniors and their families. We are extremely proud of all of our students at Bethpage High School," said Mr. DeTommaso.

President of Student Council, Katelyn Dunn was presented with the principal's award for leadership, service and commitment to school improvement. Senior class officers and members of the Honor Society were honored for their commitment and dedication to school and community. Throughout the evening, significant scholarships were presented to students from various organizations for demonstrating outstanding qualities and exceptional commitment in scholastics, the arts, music, business, occupational studies, athletics, languages, community service and/ or leadership. Students were awarded scholarships from local government, civic organizations, businesses, district PTA's and a number of prestigious organizations.

Send Your News To The Tribune 329 Broadway, Bethpage, New York 11714 .. because your news is good news to the Tribune Letter to the Editor Dear Linda, On Friday, May 27th, a neighbor of mine was struck by a dark colored SUV while he was crossing Powell Avenue. The driver, wearing a white baseball cap, shouted obscenities at my neighbor as he was tossed into the air from the impact. The driver of the SUV then sped off. Unfortunately, this is how your typical hit- and- run accident plays out but not, however, the saddest part of this particular story. While my neighbor was lying in the street, at least three vehicles swerved around his prone body -- into incoming traffic -- rather than take the time to pull over and help the man. I am appalled by the behavior of the man whose vehicle struck my neighbor and disgusted by the drivers of the vehicles that did not deem it necessary to stop to offer assistance. I wonder what this world is coming to when I see such blatant disrespect for human life displayed so callously in front of so many witnesses. The man that hit my neighbor should be ashamed of himself for not stopping and for insulting the man he struck down. I wonder how he can live with himself? The drivers of the vehicles that swerved around a man lying in the street are a disgrace to humanity. I think I finally understand why there are so many medications on the market to help people sleep at night. Thanks go out to the Good Samaritan on the motorcycle who stopped to offer assistance and to the Nassau County Police Department for responding so quickly. I sincerely hope that the man who was driving the SUV is reading this and realizes that there were witnesses to the accident and that he will, eventually, be held accountable for his actions.

City: Phone #: Zip Code:_ Parent's Signature: Emergency Contact Name and phone number Name: , Phone #: Editor's Notebook By Linda Mangano With the school year quickly coming to a close and with this edition being dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of Central Blvd. School, it seems fitting to take a moment to discuss the impact many teachers have on the lives of their students. . . , We all remember those special educators. The teacher who took extra time to make sure you understood a new lesson. The teacher who had confidence in you and your abilities. That teacher who you looked up to because they helped you to strive to be better than you thought you could be. And that teacher who plainly, yet most importantly cared about you and all of his or her students. We remember them and after about thirty years or so I can still tell you that Mrs. Thomas was my absolute idol. Ms. Munger- Spar made me strive to work harder and Mr. Palazzolo made me realize the importance of helping others. Ms. Quinn made me understand the meaning of the word responsibility and Ms. Gluf made me love gym while Mrs. Ackley taught me to appreciate art. That was way back during my days as a Charles Campagne student and although on any given day I can't remember where I put my keys, I can remember why I loved those teachers and why I'll never forget how special they were to me. Teachers have a vital role in shaping all our futures. They educate students in academics, in morality, in socialization and in responsibility and that is by no means an easy task. And as we all move on in our lives and raise children of our own we also hold a special place in our hearts for those teachers who made a difference in the lives of our own children. The cycle continues and it does so because of the dedication of so many teachers who teach because they love to. That is the difference. So as we get ready to put the books away, and forget about making the dreaded " lunch," think back for a moment and remember that special teacher that made a difference in your life or in your child's life. I am sure in just a second, you will be able to rattle off the names of those teachers who for one reason pr another made a difference and that is what education is all about. For heaven's sakes, if it weren't for Sr. Maio I'd never be addicted to cannolis! ' We're Bigger and Better To Serve All Your Automotive Needs We've Moved!
