*****•' GOOB 3 COPIES B Proudly Serving the Community for Over 43 Years SERVING BETHPAGE, ISLAND TREES, OLD BETHPAGE, PLAINVIEW, SEAFORD AND PLAINEDGE VOL. 43 NO. 19 June 3 - 9,2005 FIFTY CENTS PUBLIC AVAILABILITY SESSION TO ADDRESS OFFSITE GROUNDWATER Navy and Northrop Grumman Host Public Meeting at Community Center on June 16 The United States Navy and the Northrop Grumman Corporation ( NGC), in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ( NYSDEC), will be holding a Public Availability Session on June 16, 2005, to provide updated information related to the Navy's and NGC's implementation of various remedy components to address groundwater contamination in the area. The affected area is roughly bounded by the NWIRP Bethpage to the north, Wantagh Avenue to the west, Seaford- Oyster Bay Parkway to the east, and between the Hempstead Turnpike and Southern State Parkway to the south. The groundwater contamination is relatively deep, generally 150 to 500 feet below ground surface. As such, this contamination does not present a threat to area residents. In addition, the Navy and Northrop Grumman are continuing to work with the NYSDEC, County and State Departments of Health ( DOH), and local water districts to address the deep groundwater contamination. This availability session will utilize posters to convey appropriate information. The session is informal and you can attend at your convenience anytime between the hours of 5: 00 p. m. and 9: 00 p. m. It should take 15 to 30 minutes to see all of the posters. The Availability Session will be held at the Bethpage Community Center, 103 Grumman Road West, Bethpage. A map has been included for your convenience. The following will L? present to answer your questions: • United States Department of Navy • Northrop Grumman Corporation • New York State DEC • New York State DOH • Town of Oyster Bay The local water authorities have been notified of this session and may send a representative. The local drinking water is tested regularly and meets or exceeds all applicable drinking water standards. Your water is safe to drink. However, if you are concerned with the quality of your water you should contact the appropriate water authority that serves your area and/ or the Nassau County Department of Health. The Navy and Northrop Grumman have been implementing various actions that have served to remediate contaminated groundwater or otherwise ensure the continued protection of public health from groundwater contamination. These activities include the following: • A groundwater pump and treat system constructed at the southern/ southwestern boundary of Northrop Grumman property. This system has been operating successfully since the late 1990s. • Installation of groundwater monitoring wells located between Hempstead Turnpike and the Southern State Parkway to ensure adequate notification of potential impacts to water districts. These wells were installed in the early 2000' s. • Funding for treatment systems constructed at local water district well fields. Three systems associated with the Bethpage Water District were constructed in the 1990s. Additional treatment systems are likely to be required in the future. • Construction and future operation of a groundwater extraction and treatment system located at the GM- 38 Area. This system is intended to address an area with higher concentrations of volatile organic contamination in the underlying aquifer than other surrounding areas. The focus of this availability session will be on actions taken by the Navy and Northrop Grumman to address groundwater contamination. Other issues such as soil and groundwater contamination at the Bethpage Community Park or potential reuse scenarios for the former Navy property, although important to the community, will not be topics at this session. These issues will be the subjects of separate community workshops or meetings to be held in the near future.

Nassau County Ordered to Pay Bethpage School District $ 454,000 On May 216, 2005, Justice Stephen A. Bucaria of the State Supreme Court in Mineola, New York ordered that Nassau County pay the Bethpage School District $ 454,628.20. On January 13, 2005, the Bethpage School District commenced an action against Nassau County and Goya Foods, Inc. challenging the County's granting of credits to Goya to be used as offsets against Goya's school tax " PILOT" payments. Goya is required to make Payments- ln- Lieu- Of- Taxes (" PILOT payments") to the School District pursuant to an agreement with the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency which owns the land Goya occupies. Beginning in 1999, Goya commenced a series of tax certiorari proceedings challenging the County's assessment of the property and the amount of its PILOT payments. Without notifying the School District, The County and Goya entered into a settlement agreement in 2004 which reduced the assessment and provided for Goya to receive a refund of its prior overpayments. Despite the fact that the County's Administrative Code provides that such refunds are to be a County charge, the settlement agreement provided for Goya to receive its refund in the form of a $ 454,628.20 credit against its future school tax PILOT payments effectively shifting the financial burden of the refund to the School District. Because of the credit, the School District faced a shortfall in its budget. In granting the School District's request for a preliminary injunction and ordering the County to remit to the School District the full amount of Goya's school tax PILOT payment without reduction for the credit, Justice Bucaria stated that it was the intention of the Court " to correct an inherently unfair and inequitable policy decision, made by the County, to protect its own exchequer at the expense of the District, and done so in a manner that the District did not discover it until it was too late for the District to protect itself and its students and constituents." Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Richard Marsh, noted that " the Court's ruling means that the District has won the first round in determining that Nassau County should hold the District harmless in this situation, and to pay the $ 454,628.20 directly to the School District. However, this decision may very well be appealed to the Appellate Court. Either way, since the School District is not responsible for conducting tax assessments, or insuring the accuracy thereof, we should prevail." Thomas Frost, the President of the School Board added that " the Board felt it was like David going up against Goliath, but we needed to protect the taxpayers and the education of our children. Our hope now is that the County will not appeal this case, since the use of additional District and County monies could be better utilized for other purposes rather than additional litigation. The Bethpage School District was represented by Stanley A. Camhi, Esq. of Jaspan Schlesinger Hoffman LLP of Garden City, New York.

Many of us will be gathering with friends and family and serving grilled foods Picnics and barbecues are wonderful ways to celebrate spring and summer holidays. For safe outdoor cooking, remember to keep the following in mind: - It's important to read all instructions before using the grill, and note safe, operation and handling instructions. - Cleaning the grill thoroughly before and after use will avoid grease buildup that can cause a fire. - Choose a site away from fences, plants, sheds or anything else that would catch fire. - Use all grills outdoors. Never grill inside a house, garage or on wooden porches. - Never leave cooking unattended. - With gas grills, make sure the gas cylinder is always stored outside and away from your house. Make sure the valves are turned off when you are not using them. - Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes and leaks. - For charcoal grills, only use a limited amount of starter fluid designed for those grills. Be sure to soak the coals with water before you put them in the trash. To help you and your family have a safe and enjoyable summer of cookouts and barbecues, I hope you will keep in mind these safety tips when using gas of charcoal grills.

Spring Clean Up New York State Department of Transportation ( DOT) Acting Regional Director, Subi Chakraborti announced that the DOT's annual " spring clean- up" effort of Long Island's 5,300 lane miles of state roadways and 546 bridges is now underway. Noting that DOT maintenance crews will first address repair and maintenance items that affect motorist safety, Chakraborti said, " Recently, our maintenance crews put in a comprehensive effort removing litter and debris as part of our Keep Long Island Highways Clean Week which is aimed at • encouraging drivers to stop littering. Now they will be out in full force to repair any winter damage and start sprucing up our state roadways. For the safety of both Long Island motorists and the DOT maintenance crews, we urge all drivers to remain alert, slow down, and keep a safe distance between their vehicles and any traffic barriers, trucks, equipment, and workers as they perform repairs, litter clean- up, weed control, and mowing. Just like all of us, highway workers want to return home safely after each day's work." In priority order, the tasks which DOT highway crews are performing as part of the annual " spring cleanup" of Long Island's State roads include: removal of roadway debris, road patching and repairing guide rails, re- establishing pavement markings, clearing roadside litter, controlling offensive weeds and overgrowth, and roadside mowing. Every State road on Long Island will receive maintenance attention as expeditiously as resources allow. To minimize the impact on Long Island travelers, weed control spraying may be performed at night in limited areas, where appropriate. Since maintenance work operations are often mobile, moving down to the next section of roadway as work is finished, motorists are urged to be alert and cautious. DOT reminds motorists that highway maintenance and road construction work are necessary to improve Long Island's roads for everyone and every effort is made to minimize the impact on traffic.

They were a vital part of our school community from the Powell Avenue School, the various elementary schools, the middle school ( formally the JFK Jr. High School), to the high school. They all served as educators, mentors, coaches, and friends to many of our children. Anne Merin's teaching career began in Valley Stream Central High School where she taught German during World War II. Her first experience with the Bethpage Schools began in 1949 when she was class mother when her first son attended Powell Avenue School and later she became active in the PTA. In 1957 she began as a substitute teacher. The population was growing which presented a great need for substitute teachers, and the untimely teachers strike ( the first teachers strike on Long Island) stressed the system. After that she was on call to substitute in the various schools in the district. She taught French, math, science, shop and boys gym. In 1968 Anne became a full time math teacher. She taught both B and C classes in the JFK Jr. High School and started the individualize program with Mr. Paul Rondone ( they even had a computer to use). After about 25 years of teaching Anne retired in 1979. Del Schiavetta told us she grew up in up- state New York in the Buffalo- Rochester area and graduated from Geneseo College in 1953. At that time, principals would interview graduates for positions in their area, and Del was interviewed by Mr. Vic Miller of the Broadway School in Bethpage. Upon graduation her college roommate talked her into accompanying her to Long Island, as her friend was engaged to a soldier stationed in Mitchel Field and she wanted to be near him. Her friend got a job in Hempstead, married her soldier, and Del came to Bethpage to teach. Del told her family she would be gone for one year, but she met the handsome young man who lived next door which changed those plans. She married Danny and they both pursued a career in education with a desire to mold and shape the minds of the youth of our community. As Del said, " It was a gentler time after World War II, people were getting on with their lives, the population was exploding, and the schools went on split session." Del started her career in what she called a rickety old school on Powell Avenue where Anna Rockhill was principal and her colleagues were Mary Quinn, Mrs. Dutton, Mrs. Lacker, Evelyn Rozzi and George McElroy. She was delighted when Pine Avenue opened its doors which was a beautiful new school. Danny began his teaching career in Farmedge School in Levittown and later at the Bloomingdale Avenue School. When the Bloomingdale Avenue school was closed and razed he moved on to Kramer Lane. 50 years later Del claims to be a true Long Island Girl and she shared the picture of her and her 3rd grade class of 1956. George McElroy came to Bethpage in 1954 and started teaching in the Powell Ave. School. He taught in Pine Avenue, Central Boulevard while they were under construction, and the Broadway School which was on split session in 1957 & 1958. The Jr. high went to school in the P. M. and the high school went in the A. M. Mr. McElroy taught Physical Education, and coached basketball and baseball and became assistant principal. 1961 he went to the high school as assistant principal. He was asked by Mr. Bryant to work on the title programs, mainly Title I, for the district as an administration assistant. In 1966 he became principal of the high school and worked through two strikes. In 1968 the high school had an extension built on, and boasted an enrollment of 2100 students. He is most proud of the many successes of his students. Mr. McElroy retired in 1985 and continues in the field of education by working with BOCES and Hofstra University. Anthony ( Duke) Ducato started his presentation by thanking all for having such nice kids and he was proud to be a part of their lives. Mr. Ducato came to Bethpage in 1954 as a shop teacher. He taught wood shop, mechanical drawing, math and machine shop. He became assistant principal in 1966, and was principal for six years. He also taught adult education and drivers education. Mr. Ducato retired in 1985, and has volunteered at the Psychiatric Ward in Plainview, the Detox Center, and currently in Syosset Psychiatric Ward. A proud moment for him was to have one of his students become a priest, Father Anthony Trapani, and to have the honor to attend his first mass at St. Martin of Tours R. C. Church and receive Holy Communion from him. He also acknowledged the support of the Bethpage School Board of Education over the years. Jack McCaffrey grew up in Southold, Long Island and came to teach in Bethpage in 1955 when the district hired 86 teachers. He started his career in Central Boulevard School and taught Jr. High which was located on the 2nd floor then moved in with the Sr. High School, on Broadway, and was on split session. He was coordinator of the Math Department for 15 years. He took a sabbatical in 1969 for one year to California with his family and ' re Bigger and Better To Serve All Your Automotive Needs AUTO REPAIRS in o o cr>' CO CD a —> LU Z) CD CC f- LU CD < Q_ X I— LU CO LU X CO LU O < D_ COMPLETE A U T O REPAIRS r 24 Hour Flatbed Available 631.338.0514 r Oil Change And Filter $ 24.95 Exp. 6/ 20/ 05 NYS Inspection Are You Due?

He returned to Bethpage and was math supervisor. In 1983 he became assistant principal of the high school. He is proud to say his six children all went through the high school. He retired in 1994 and said he enjoyed his career as a teacher of children in Bethpage and would do it all over again. Senor Maio is the only member of the panel who is still working. He came to Bethpage in 1966 and claims Bethpage community is not one that is easy to shake off. He knows it as a friendly community and is part of a great family. He likes to remind his students that at one time he taught one of their parents. Senor Maio has a wonderful sense of humor which is a great asset to have as a teacher. He claims he will continue to teach as long as his batteries keep him running, and we hope ( for the children's sake) this will be for a long time. Anthony Georgan considers himself double blessed to live and teach in Bethpage for 46 years. He is proud to say he had four children who went through Bethpage Schools, and seven of his fourteen grandchildren attend Bethpage Schools. In 1966 he came to work in the high school in the Social Studies Department. He was very active in the Theater Department and put on great productions in the high school. Mr. Georgan is retired now for 12 years and still misses teaching in the high school. He now operates the Stage Theater in Merrick. Harry Settino did a great job on putting this program together, and we thank him! He came to Bethpage Schools in 1960 and at that time he introduced the Marine Fitness Program in the district. The Marine Fitness Program is still very active today in Bethpage. He coached varsity baseball, football, wrestling, as well as, girls track and bowling. He had four children who went through Bethpage Schools and he never lost sight that every boy and girl he taught is very special as someone's son or daughter. He was very proud to tell that he coached Joe Sambito who went on to play major league baseball. It was a very memorable time, at his retirement in 1990, when Joe Sambito attended his retirement party and announced to all that Coach Harry Settino once lied to him. This caused a very stunned Coach Settino in front of family, colleagues, and friends. Joe went on to explain, Coach Settino refused to let him play first base in fear of him harming his pitching arm, and told him his arm would be worth one million dollars some day. You lied, Joe went on to say, for my arm is now worth 14 million dollars. Comments from the audience: Cas Procida reminded all of the cannons that once stood proudly in front of the Powell Avenue School, during World War II, were sold for the metal to help in the war effort. Gary Bretton told of the good experiences he had attending Bethpage Schools, and he went on to explain that some experiences were a little more painful than others. Greg Settino questioned, " what happened to the paddles that Mr. Ducato had occasion to use?" Once again Gary Bretton responded, he has one hanging in his home. Carmela McCarey shared her diploma from Powell Avenue School in 1931. Her daughter proudly acknowledged the great experience she had in the Bethpage High School after her elementary education in St. Martin of Tours. She is now the assistant principal in Hicksville. Dorothy Rabas told of her fond memories attending the Powell Avenue School. President Lenny Mulqueen commented, " through our children our teachers have molded history and through their deeds they continue to make history." All the teachers agreed they felt honored to have had the opportunity to teach our children and would do it all over again. Mr. Settino told all that Coach Howard Vogts is a finalist for the National Coach of the Year. He is being considered with eight others. Howard Vogts coached in Bethpage for over 50 years. We are proud of his accomplishments. He is listed in our Encyclopedia of Central Park/ Bethpage http:// www. bethpagelibraryinfo We look forward to another, " Meet Your Teacher Night Again," we hope same time next year. Mr. Settino has agreed to organize another very interesting program. He is open for suggestions as to who you would like to meet. May Program - It is great to welcome two wonderful additions to our downtown Bethpage, Vintage on Broadway at 325 Broadway, and The Christian Corner at 322 Broadway. We are happy to have the proprietors of both shops as guests at our May meeting. Vintage on Broadway is a charming shop with gifts and accessories for the home, country furniture, antiques and replicas. The proprietors of the shop are John and Rene Raby Pufahl. They do a wonderful job in choice and display of their wares. Madelein Belveder is a wonderful asset to this shop with her talent and flair in floral arranging and her overall artistic touch. Both John and Rene grew up in Bethpage and are now raising their children in the same surroundings they grew up in. They will share with us their stories of growing up in Bethpage and the choice they made to open this very special shop in our community. The Christian Corner is located directly across the street from Vintage on Broadway, how fortunate! Henry and Kathy Von Thaden and Debbie and Gabe Cavacchioli are the proprietors of this very special shop. The atmosphere in the shop is welcoming as one enters the door. They feature cards, books, tapes, and gifts for all ages to acknowledge that special landmark occasion, or just to let one know you are thinking about them. Henry Von Thaden grew up in Bethpage and is the cousin of Lenny Mulqueen. We are delighted their love of the community motivated them to invest in it by opening their shop here. We are also looking forward to hear Henry relate what life in Bethpage was all about a few years back. Even if you are not looking to make a purchase, please stop into these shops, which are a wonderful addition to our downtown, and welcome the Von Thadens, Cavacchiolis and Pufahls. Take some time and look around and remember all the beautiful and varied merchandise that is available when the time comes for you to make that special purchase.

Barbershop Chorus Membership The local Nassau Mid- Island Chapter of The Barbershop Harmony Society ( also known as The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America) established in 1970, will accept up to 20 new members in June for its active chorus of adult male voices. The non- profit a cappella national society formed in 1938 today numbers nearly 30,000 members in over 800 chapters from the U. S. and Canada with affiliated organizations around the globe. In its annual springtime bid for additional membership, The Nassau Mid- Island Chapter has designated June as " Barbershop Tag ( You're IT) Month." A " tag" in barbershop terminology is the ending of a barbershop song, usually the last four to eight bars, and often considered among the most memorable chords in the song. " Guests at our Tuesday night rehearsals, aside from experiencing the unique sounds of barbershop and the camaraderie our get-togethers afford, will be encouraged to try a short ' tag' if they wish to," noted Joseph Massaro, the organization's vice president of chapter development. ' The tags are not only enjoyable to hear, but provide the fun of immediate participation." The Mid- Islanders, under the current direction of Maurice Debar, rehearse Tuesday evenings at Winthrop Hall, Church of the Advent, 555 Advent Street, in Westbury at 8 p. m. Those interested in being a part of the expanded roster for this year are welcome to listen and apply to join its ranks.

From monitoring frog and alligator populations in Louisiana, to aquatic field studies in their own neighborhoods, students at John F. Kennedy Middle School have been learning about wetlands, why they are disappearing, and what can be done to protect them. It's all part of this year's JASON Expedition, which has Bethpage students excited about science and technology, and is offered in New York State through Nassau BOCES. Over 200 schools across New York State ( that's approximately 650 teachers and more than 30,000 students) participate in the JASON's expedition- based curriculum each year. Students conduct their own field studies and hands- on classroom activities to match experiments performed by host researchers, as well as complete a variety of ongoing Internet- based exercises. These youngsters, along with others from New York, the country and around the world, recently joined well- known researchers at the live JASON Expedition: Disappearing Wetlands telecast. Three Louisiana marshlands - Jean Lafitte National Park, the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium's laboratory at Port, Fourchon and its marine center in Cocodrie - served as the learning laboratories for this year's JASON Expedition and were the sites where students and teachers interacted with the research team in real time via a two- way, direct satellite link to Nassau BOCES. From teachers integrating technology into the classroom, to students acquiring critical thinking and problem- solving skills, JASON is a proven success. Research confirms that JASON's curriculum promotes teamwork among students and collaboration between teachers, while reducing middle-schoolers' fears of confronting challenges. Past expeditions included trips to California's Monterey Bay, Belize, the Galapagos Islands, Yellowstone National Park, Alaska and Panama. Next year's JASON Expedition will examine the Mysteries of Earth and Mars. In 1993, Nassau BOCES became the first JASON Project Primary Interactive Network ( PIN) site in New York State. Other sites - in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia and Bermuda - include universities, natural history museums, maritime centers and NASA installations. Part of the public education system, the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau County ( Nassau BOCES) provides a wide variety of shared services to its 56 school districts. Among these are special education, career and technical education, instructional programs, alternative schools, distance learning and teacher workshops that support the use of technology in schools.

Oscar Brown, Jr.
Oscar Brown, Jr.
Although rooted in jazz, singer, poet, and activist Oscar Brown, Jr. defied musical categorization throughout his long and eclectic career -- a forerunner of the political consciousness that would become predominant in soul, funk, and hip-hop in the decades to follow, his efforts to exact social change spread across the arts and even into government, spurring two unsuccessful but memorable campaigns for office. Born on Chicago's South Side on October 10, 1926, Brown was the son of a successful attorney and property broker who wanted his firstborn someday to assume control of the family business; instead, Brown was drawn to writing and performing, and by 15 was a regular on writer Studs Terkel's radio program Secret City. After skipping two grades, he entered the University of Wisconsin at 16, but finding the world of academia little to his liking, Brown returned to broadcasting, and in 1944 was tapped to host Negro Newsfront, the nation's first black news radio broadcast. Dubbed "America's first Negro newscaster," he relinquished the gig in 1948 to run for the Illinois state legislature on the Progressive Party ticket -- he did not win, and spent the remainder of the decade working on writer/producer Richard Durham's Black Radio Days series, followed by a two-year stint in the U.S. Army.

Football Nation:
The NFL is full of a bunch of tall, strong, fast, hard hitting men who are some of the most athletic athletes on the planet and are the best at their jobs. But what about if you put them in the NBA? Which NFL players would be the best? Here's a top 10 list of who I think would succeed the most in the NBA. Some of the picks you may not agree with and some just may seem crazy to you because some of these guy may not have played any ball in high school or weren't a big recruit for basketball as well as football coming out of school. But without further ado, here is my top 10 NFL players who could make it big in the NBA.

Hi, I'm Willie Wheeler, and I'm a Principal Applications Engineer for a leading provider of online travel services. I have sixteen years of professional software development experience, mostly around web application development using Java, JEE and Spring.
With Joshua White, I wrote the book Spring in Practice, for Manning Publications.
I run the Spring in Practice blog, which has technical articles about Java, JEE, Spring, IT management, usability and some other related topics.
Finally, I also run the new Zkybase blog on devops.

Cardinal Gates
Cardinal Gates has been dedicated to making homes safer since 1993. Over the years the company has expanded from the original Hearth Guard to a full line of gates for children and pets. We strongly believe our gates are the best on the market in terms of safety, ease of installation, attractiveness and durability.
Cardinal Gates produces the only aluminum gates on the market, which are light weight and able to weather the elements for exterior use. Many of their dog gates are constructed entirely of metal-no plastic parts-for additional strength and durability. Additionally, all Cardinal gates are rigorously tested to earn the seal of certification by the Juvenile Protection Manufacturers Association.

Cleaning out his shoe closet recently, John found that his favourite pair of Vogs from the 90s, The Provogs, had finally taken their last stroll. So John decided it was time to update them and bring them back. The One-O-One's feature vibrant Italian suedes, industrial D-ring lacing, and use the same last and 100% hevea latex sole as the Classic Angel, providing a radical new take on the vintage creeper sneaker. Oh that my weary feet could soar to places never seen before and float on dreaming wings of grace above this dour and earthly place.
