GRADUATE
Student Mark Bistany (Bethpage) receives his diploma from Richard
Governale, director of educational services of The Children's Learning
Center, a division of The United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau
County, Inc. Nationally recognized for its outstanding educational,
diagnostic and treatment services, the school with over 200 students,
emphasizes mainstreaming, inclusion and maximizing independence.
Mark Bistany of Bethpage
recently donned the traditional
cap and gown graduating from
The Children's Learning Center, a
division of the United Cerebral
Palsy Association of Nassau
County, Inc. (UCP Nassau) and
will enter a new school this fall.
Emphasizing mainstreaming,
inclusion, and maximum independence,
The Children's Learning
Center has the unique advantage
of operating in a total
therapeutic environment with
extensive on-site medical and
treatment services including
speech/language/hearing, physical
and occupational therapy
through the Fortunoff Treatment
and Rehabiltation Center in
Roosevelt.
The school, with over 200 students,
has a well earned reputation
for outstanding educational, diagnostic
and medical services for
children with mild to severe disabilities
from birth to 21 years old.
Each child's program is individualized
and closely monitored by a
team of multidisciplinary professionals.
This fall, special small
classes are being formed for
children with traumatic brain
injuries and for a conductive
education program.
The center is located on a 14-
acre site with an adapted outdoor
recreation area and swimming
pool, in addition to a Toy Lending
Library which offers a large collection
of popular adapted toys
and control devices for families to
borrow and the Nassau Applied
Technology Resource Center.
For more information about The
Children's Learning Center and its
diverse student body including
youngsters with learning disabilities,
speech impairments, traumatic
brain injuries, mental retardation
and those affected by
substance abuse, call the school
at (516) 378-2000, ext. 310.
WHEN THE WEATHER
HEATS UP...
IT'S STILL "COOL"
IN BETHPAGE
Not too many athletes can be
seen showering in public right
after a game, but they can be seen
at Bethpage State Park. O.K., the
shower is actually a hose, and the
"athlete," a polo pony, of course!
Stars of the Meadowbrook Polo
Club, these four-legged athletes,
and their two-legged counterparts,
can be seen, free of charge,
every Saturday and Sunday
throughout the summer and fall.
While there is no restriction to
the type of horse that can be used,
thoroughbreds fit the sport's
requirements very well. Noted for
speed, acceleration, endurance
and a competitive spirit, these
horses battle in non-stop action
over the length of nine football
fields. It is also worth stating that
the success and skill of the polo
play is enhanced by riding a good
polo pony.
Polo, once a sport for kings and
high society, can now be enjoyed
by anyone. For over 100 years, the
Meadowbrook Polo Club has been
keeping this highly skilled sport
alive on Long Island. The Club's
continued efforts also helped
bring the U.S. Open Polo Championship
back to Long Island last
year and again this year, when it
will be held during the month of
September at the Bethpage State
Park.
Not only is Polo a true spectator
sport, but you are also invited to
participate by replacing the divots
(pieces of turf dug up from the
field by the players' shots)
between chuckers (also called
periods). Polo is especially fun for
the kids when any ball going out
of bounds becomes an instant
souvenir. After the match, players
and fans mingle to talk polo, get
an autograph or just see one of
their favorite stars up close. Whatever
your reason, pack a lunch,
bring a blanket or lawn chair -
your seat to the action begins at
3:00 p.m. every weekend. It's a fun
afternoon for the whole family.
