PLAINVIEWf SEAFORD AND PLAINEDGE VOL 43 NO. 13 April 22- 28, 2005 FIFTY CENTS We're All Crazy About Crazy for You The Bethpage High School Masquers Guild has done it again! Thursday, Friday and Saturday April 7- 9 the 80 person cast of Crazy for You blew away three packed houses. The Guild definitely stepped up to the challenge of topping last year's perfect piece, footloose, countless hours from December through April were spent at the High School Auditorium learning songs and dances to dazzle the audiences, but while all of that was happening friendships were forming. If you ask a member of the Masquer's guild why they've stuck out the hard days and long rehearsals, they're sure to say the friendships and memories that they have formed. You may be wondering what goes into perfecting the show. Well, ponder no longer! In December auditions were held where each member of the prospective cast sang a part of the song of their choice. After a few grueling days of call- backs ( a period of time when the Director, Mr. William Kroupa, Jr. calls in students to read and sina for a specific part) the cast list went up. The week following this, the newly formed cast began learning the longest and most challenging number in the show, I Got Rhythm. The seven minute song with a four minute tap dancing break was a challenge for director/ choreographer William Kroupa, this year's dance captains Lindsay Harvey and Antonia Broughton. and of course the cast. After hours of counting and practicing, the dance was finally perfected. During the course of the following 4 and one half months the rest of the show came together beautifully. Lines were memorized and dances learned. Some nights ran late into the evening and some Saturdays began very early, but they were all worth it April 9th when all doubts about the show ceased to exist as the cast bowed to a long standing ovation. Without the dedication of the stage crew there would be no show! The strong hands of the crew allowed scene changes to run fast and smooth and left the cast relieved knowing the set was in safe hands. The crew members range from 9th grade through 12th grade and specialize in different aspects of the show. The crew responsible for the back stage area and scene changes ran under this year's stage crew manager Ashley Szoyka, assistant stage manager Lauren Picone and stage manager in training Christina Riscica. the Lighting crew also put in long hours to ensure that every scene had the correct mood; Technical Director, Libby Thompson, held up this crew. A critical part of a musical is of course the music! Mr. Eric Kay, band and orchestra teacher from Kramer Lane, directed the pit, put together by senior Lori Siesto. Bethpage's School's music department chairperson, Ms. Paula Farbman was the musical director, teaching the cast the words and notes to accompany the toe- tapping music. There is more to the Masquer's Guild then the on- stage time, and a lot of work that goes unnoticed. A small group of students are responsible for a large part of the Guild's success. Each year there are a four or five students who are given the title officers. The come early and stay late, keep the group united, design the playbill, assist Mr. Kroupa with whatever he needs, keep up the morale of the group with quotes and birthday announcements and offer support to anyone who needs someone to fall back in. This year there are five officers; graduating this year after two years as officers are Stephen Dagnell, Will Wulff, graduating after one year as an officer is Lindsay Harvey and returning for another year are Peter Casey and Samantha Hirsch. The students who are graduating said their tearful good- byes to the stage after four years and the returning guild members are already psyching themselves up for next season. New officers, dance captains and shows for next year have not yet been announced. The wonderful work of the Masquer's Guild has left audiences unable to believe that they had been sitting in a high school auditorium. The cast, crew and teachers involved in Crazy For You devoted their time and strength into the perfection of the show and definitely have something to celebrate now.

Budget Passed on Time for First Time in 21 Years Assemblyman Joseph Saladino ( R, C, l- Massapequa) today announced the state Legislature passed the state budget by its April 1 deadline for the first time in 21 years. He credits a new spirit of bipartisan effort and cooperation for the passage, but says there is still more government reform that's needed. " I was elected last year by the voters to bring reform to state government and do everything in my power to facilitate a budget that is on time and fair to the taxpayers of Long Island," said Saladino. ' Through bipartisan efforts and a tremendous push from our colleagues in the state Senate, we have been extremely successful in achieving this goal. I am proud to be working in this new environment of bipartisanship and reform, and I'm thrilled to report that my efforts this past year have contributed to the success. However, in the true spirit of reform, we must make this year the rule and not the exception. It's crucial that we have an on- time budget every year, and I'm committed to making this goal a reality." Saladino, elected in a special election in February 2004, has served as a catalyst for reform since taking office. He said his highest priorities include curbing the dysfunctional legislative process and working to deliver an on- time state budget. According to Saladino the passed state budget includes an increase in state school aid to each of the school districts in the 12th Assembly District. ' The reforms passed earlier this year allowed us to work more efficiently and gave the public more opportunities to experience the budget negotiation process, thanks to the open budget discussions that included all five legislative leaders, instead of the usual three- men- in- a-room process," said Saladino. ' Through the dedication, cooperation and spirit of true reform the Senate, Assembly and Gov. y George Pataki were able to work together to pass an on- time, balanced state budget." Saladino continued, " I thank our Long Island senators, my Assembly colleagues and Gov. Pataki for their resolve to work cooperatively to make our goals a reality. It has not been easy to bring an on- time budget while simultaneously fighting for our fair share of state funding. " I look forward to continued good will between both sides of the aisle in the Assembly and serving in my role to build bridges between the political parties, as well as the various levels of government. In this manner, we will create more efficiency, experience less political fighting and give greater attention to the highest priorities of our residents, children and taxpayers." Saladino said more reforms are needed. He has introduced a plan of statutory and constitutional legislation that would establish consequences for missing the less-publicized steppingstone deadlines leading to the April 1 requirement. The measures include allowing the state comptroller to intervene with a binding revenue forecast if the Legislature is unable to reach a revenue consensus by March 10 each year; establishing budget conference committees by March 15 each year; prohibiting the Legislature from considering nonbudget legislation after April 1 until a budget is adopted; and banning legislative recesses until a spending plan is approved, with the exception of religious holidays. Mejias Blasted for Failure to Act on Gang Violence When it Counts Tom Sabellico, Republican Candidate for the 14th Legislative District, responded to Legislator David Mejias' forum on gang violence this evening by pointing out that Mejias failed to act " when it counted," by refusing to support initiatives to add 300 police offers to our streets and the creation of a dedicated anti- gang task force to combat Nassau County's growing gang violence problem. Gang violence has become one of the most important issues in a County that was never known for such unlawful activity. On March 19th, three teenage boys were attacked by a gang of youths in South Farmingdale. The gang assault, carried out by 4 teenagers resulted in all three victims being admitted to Nassau University Medical Center with serious facial injuries and stab wounds. ( See Police News Release attached). " Legislator Mejias is holding a forum to pacify the community. This forum will not add one police officer to the streets to stop this scary cycle of vicious attacks," said Sabellico. " I am in favor of community meetings but not when they are hypocritical or politically motivated," added Sabellico. During Legislative hearings to adopt the 2005 Nassau County Budget, an amendment was proposed by the Republican Minority to direct the Police Commissioner to create a 100 member dedicated anti- gang task force to address gang related crimes like the incident in South Farmingdale. Despite the growing concerns of citizens, Legislator Mejias provided the tenth and final " NO" vote to reject the proposal to place more police officers on our streets. " As a resident of this area for 40 years, and a strong believer in families and children, I am insulted that Legislator Mejias is holding ' feelgood forums' on gang violence when he rejected a plan to add more police officers to our streets and create a specialized unit to fight these crimes. If Mejias did the right thing for Farmingdale last October we might not need to be here to talk about this problem tonight. When elected, I will ensure that the undermanned Nassau County Police Department has every available resource to eliminate the plague of gang violence from our community and Nassau County," added Sabellico.

Students contribute to the event by bringing in a homemade dish. Other students help Art Teacher Mr. DeStefano create the fascinating murals that adorn the entire gym. Two of the murals filled the entire length of two walls, depicting smiling students past and present - photographic testimonials to the success of the event over the past years. According to Signore Maio, the idea for the Italian Feast was inspired by a tradition that began in Italy and continues to this day. " In Italy, Father's Day, is a special day where people cook lavish foods and invite the homeless for a day of sharing," he said. Eleventh grade student Sarah Petroni, who brought in a delicious Penne A La Vodka dish, said she looks forward to the event because it is tremendously fun. Senior Rod Rizzo, who helped put up the murals displayed throughout the gym, stated, " Italian Feast is a great thing and a way to preserve our heritage and tradition." Coordinated by Signore Maio, an Italian teacher for nearly 40 years at Bethpage High School, the Italian Feast, an annual event enjoyed by students in the Italian classes was a day of sharing traditional Italian foods. Pictured: Italian Teachers, Jackie Rito and Signore Maio. The 33rd annual Italian Feast, held at Bethpage High School, attracted hundreds of hungry students and teachers who shared homemade Italian goodies throughout the day in mid- March. A day of camaraderie and appreciation for Italian foods and tradition, the event was enjoyed by all who attended. The aroma of Italian foods filled the small gym which was decorated festively from floor to ceiling.

A Cincinnati man who was pulled over on I-75 in Hancock County and found to have drugs in his car last October will represent himself in court. The Courier reports 39-year-old Marcus Coleman has submitted numerous court filings from jail since his arrest. Judge Joseph Niemeyer has urged Coleman to reconsider, and has appointed attorney John McMahon as stand-by counsel in the case.
Coleman has already sued the county jail for "mental anguish" from poor food and also for a lack of adequate legal text books. He claims he was pulled over because of "racist, deceptive enforcement techniques." A jury trial is scheduled for May 20.

Flashpacking is a trend among travellers who share the backpacking ethos. Someone, usually in their mid-20s to early 30s, who travels like a backpacker...
Lonely Planet names the Top 10 trips that should be on every cyclist's wish list.
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Vietnam. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to increasing petty crime targeting foreigners.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Petty crime against tourists is increasing, particularly in the larger cities. Although violent crimes such as armed robbery are still relatively rare in Vietnam, perpetrators have grown increasingly bold. Knives and razors have been used in attempted robberies in Ho Chi Minh City. Motorcyclists grab bags and other valuables from pedestrians and from passengers or drivers on motorbikes; this often results in injury to the victim. Hotels and tourist areas are more likely to be targeted by criminals. Thefts also occur on crowded buses and trains and in shopping centres and markets. Bag slashing is a frequent occurrence in crowded streets and markets. Avoid showing signs of affluence and ensure that your personal belongings and passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
When leaving the airport, you should only use authorized airport taxis or hotel transportation. Authorized taxi companies usually have operators posted at airports who are responsible for monitoring taxi services. These companies publish the taxi driver's name and vehicle number on a card that should be affixed to the windshield (in front of the driver's seat). Individuals posing as taxi drivers have targeted foreign visitors at Hanoi airport and robbed them by forcing them to withdraw money from automatic banking machines. Travellers have also been robbed by drivers who greeted them upon arrival with a placard showing their name. If you are expecting to be picked up, ask for your driver's name, phone number and licence plate number before you travel. Be familiar with your hotel's address and neighbouring landmarks because taxi drivers have taken unaware visitors to the wrong establishment, in order to receive a commission. Never share a taxi with a stranger.
Threats of physical injury related to personal disputes occasionally occur. If you are in this position, contact the local police and the closest Canadian government office immediately.
Both tourists and expatriates have been targeted by credit card forgery crime. Avoid using your credit card in smaller establishments, and pay careful attention when others are handling your card. Consider obtaining a second card, with a low credit limit, for use during your stay in Asia.
Tourists have been victims of gambling scams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (particularly in the Pham Ngu Lao neighbourhood). This scam usually starts with a friendly invitation to someone's home to meet a relative interested in visiting or studying in Canada. While the visitor is waiting for this individual, a casual game of cards will begin. Even though they started with only a small wager, victims have reported losing thousands of dollars over the course of an evening.
Public demonstrations are generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences. Avoid demonstrations and follow the advice of local authorities.
Traffic accidents occur frequently, often causing death or serious injury. Motorcycle riders and pedestrians are common victims. Driving standards are poor, vehicles and roads are often badly maintained, and roads in major cities are congested. Rain can flood potholes and roads, especially those in the north, can become impassable during the rainy season. Travelling after dark is dangerous.
Driving without a Vietnamese driver's licence is illegal. If you are involved in a traffic accident, you may face criminal charges and have to pay compensation if someone is injured. You may be prohibited from leaving the country before paying this compensation. Hiring a car and driver for personal transportation is strongly recommended. Rent a motorcycle only if you are accustomed to local driving standards and be aware that insurance is not included with these rentals. Motorcycle taxis (known as "xe oms") are unsafe and should be avoided.
Bus accidents are not uncommon. A number of fatal boat accidents have occurred in past years, some in Halong Bay. Ensure that your tour operator follows up-to-date safety regulations.
Keep ticket stubs at all times when travelling by train, as they are required when exiting the train station. Passengers without a ticket stub will be required to pay the fare again.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, further out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy & Armed Robbery Report, published by the International Maritime Bureau.
Travel near military facilities in some parts of the central highlands and in some border areas is restricted.
Unexploded landmines are a hazard in some rural areas of central Vietnam.
Improper farming and production practices, as well as overall poor hygiene in food preparation, make food safety a concern. Exercise a high degree of caution, particularly when consuming street food and beverages containing ice cubes. Avoid drinking non-bottled water.
Never leave your food or drink unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Do not purchase liquor from street vendors, as the quality cannot be assured.
Hotel rooms and electronic communications may be monitored. Hotel staff require your passport in order to register it with local authorities. The staff may insist on keeping your passport until your departure, but there is no legal reason for them to do so. You may request the return of your passport once it has been registered.
Dial 113 to reach police, 114 for firefighters and 115 for ambulance.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Vietnamese authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Vietnam, which must be valid for at least one month beyond the expiry date of their visa. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Canadians must be in possession of a visa to enter Vietnam. Visas should be obtained prior to arrival. Extensions can be obtained from the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City or, for a fee, from some local travel agencies and tour companies.
A visa may be issued on arrival in emergency situations. Contact the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for more information.
Vietnamese visas in expired Canadian passports are no longer valid. The visa needs to be transferred to the new passport.
Tourist visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Travellers must register with the local police upon arrival, even if staying with relatives. Hotel guests are automatically registered.
Dual citizenship is recognized in limited circumstances. Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide consular services. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times. Consult Dual Citizenship: What You Need to Know to Know for more information.
Travellers entering the country are subject to a body temperature check and, in some cases, may be quarantined for medical observation if they show flu-like symptoms.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread by contaminated food or water. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or through personal contact with unwashed hands. Get the flu shot.
Japanese encephalitis is a viral infection that can cause swelling of the brain. It is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Risk is low for most travellers. Vaccination should be considered for those who may be exposed to mosquito bites (e.g., spending time outdoors in rural areas) while travelling in regions with risk of Japanese encephalitis.
Measles occurs worldwide but is a common disease in developing countries, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia. Measles is a highly contagious disease. Be sure your vaccination against measles is up-to-date regardless of the travel destination.
Rabies is a disease that attacks the central nervous system spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from a rabid animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives, or with weakened immune systems. Travellers visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should consider getting vaccinated.
Yellow fever is a disease caused by the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |

Country Entry Requirement* |
Recommendation |
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Southeast Asia, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, leptospirosis, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Southeast Asia. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
There have been cases of cholera reported in this country in the last year. Cholera is a bacterial disease that typically causes diarrhea. In severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are generally at low risk. Humanitarian workers and those visiting areas with limited access to safe food and water are at higher risk. Practise safe food and water precautions. Travellers at high risk should get vaccinated.
In Southeastern Asia, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in some areas in Southeastern Asia, like avian influenza and rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
There have been human cases of avian influenza ("bird flu") in this country. Avian influenza is a viral infection that can spread by contact with infected birds or surfaces and objects contaminated by their feces or other secretions.
Avoid unnecessary contact with domestic poultry and wild birds as well as surfaces contaminated with their feces or other secretions. Ensure all poultry dishes and eggs are thoroughly cooked.
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that mainly affects infants and children. Travellers are at increased risk if visiting or living in overcrowded conditions. There is no vaccine for this disease.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Health-care services are below Canadian standards. Medical facilities and supplies are limited outside of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Serious medical problems may require evacuation.
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention page for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict and include the death penalty.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines and jail sentences.
Gambling outside of licensed casinos is illegal in Vietnam.
Photography of military installations and border crossings is prohibited.
Involvement in politics, possession of political or sexually explicit material, or involvement in an unsanctioned religious activity can result in detention. Participation in a public demonstration is generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences.
Visitors are not allowed to invite Vietnamese nationals of the opposite sex into their hotel rooms to stay overnight. Visitors are allowed to stay with a Vietnamese family, providing they have obtained permission from local authorities. It is the responsibility of the Vietnamese host to register their foreign guests with local authorities.
Cash in excess of US$5,000, or the equivalent in any other foreign currency, must be declared upon arrival. Anyone arriving in the country with more than 300 grams of gold, including jewellery, gold bar and raw gold, must also make a declaration.
Vietnamese law restricts the export of antiques, but these laws are vague and unevenly enforced. If you purchase non-antique items of value, retain receipts and confirmation from shop owners and/or the Ministry of Culture and the Vietnam General Department of Customs to prevent seizure of your items upon departure.
You must hold a valid Vietnamese driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle in Vietnam, including motorcycles of 50cc or more. You can apply for a Vietnamese driver's licence at an office of the Department of Public Works and Transportation in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear a helmet.
The currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND). U.S. dollar traveller's cheques cannot be exchanged outside major cities and tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels throughout the country, as well as at an increasing number of restaurants and shops. Automated banking machines are available throughout Vietnam.
The rainy (or monsoon) season extends from June to September in the north and south, and from October to December in central Vietnam. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides. Seasonal flooding occurs in October and November in central Vietnam. Flooding is common in and around Hanoi, particularly along the Red River, and in the Mekong River Delta regions in the south.
Typhoons usually occur between June and December and affect primarily central and northern Vietnam. These storms can result in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and can hamper the provision of essential services. Monitor local news and weather reports, avoid disaster areas and follow the advice of local authorities. Consult our Typhoons and monsoons page for more information.
