On Hazardous Materials Alternatives
Oyster Bay Town Councilman
Angelo A. Delligatti announced that
the Town has available to residents
an informative brochure entitled
" Hazardous Material Alternatives."
" Hazardous materials can be
found in almost all households,"

or less hazardous alter­native
product that has the same
efficiency as a product that contains
a hazardous substance."
The Councilman noted that if
you need to use products with haz­ardous
components, use only the
amounts needed and share leftover
material with neighbors. In the case
of used motor oil, recycle at a par­ticipating
service station or retailer
or deposit it in one of the Town's
waste oil igloos, located at
Theodore Roosevelt Marina, Oyster
Bay; Harry Tappen Marina,
Glenwood Landing; and the Solid
Waste Disposal Complex,

Bethpage.

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK
by Linda Mangano
/// the matter of one minute someone's entire life can change. Just
one minute and a drunk driver is all it really takes to turn someone's
entire life upside down and inside out. We all have seen the
devastating news broadcasts about the tragedy that occurred on July
3, when an alleged drunk driver slammed his pickup truck into a limo
killing the driver Stan Rabinowitz, 7 year old Katie Flynn and
seriously injuring 4 others who were on their way home from a
yvedding. This tragic accident is a horrific reminder of what an
impaired driver can do behind the wheel of a car.
ft has just been reported that the driver of the pickup has had
similar infractions and driving problems since he began driving at 15
years old and in fact it was stated that he was arrested in 2001 on
charges of driving under the influence if alcohol.
ft seems to me ( hat we have to do something now to avoid more
senseless loss of life and more families being ripped apart. If you are
arrested and convicted of driving while intoxicated there should be
much more serious consequences than just a mere slap on the wrist.
We need to enhance our driver education programs and we need to do
it fast. Students should be seeing the horrific photos of wrecked cars
and they should hear the heart wrenching stories of all the " wrecked"
lives. They need to see what a car is capable of doing when being
driven irresponsibly. And adults, as well, should be mandated to take
refresher courses every few years to reinforce the skills and safety
precautions they learned years before. I can tell you that two years
ago my husband and I took a defensive, driving course and it was truly
an eye opener. We often blame the inexperienced driver yet very often
it is the driver who has become lax that is responsible for serious
accidents. And as I have said over and over again... WE NEED TO
SLOWDOWN.
There can be no words to comfort this family on their loss. It just
shouldn 7 have happened. It should never happen.
A car is a weapon. When it is driven in excessive speeds or when it
is operated by someone under the influence of alcohol or drugs it is a
lethal weapon. And if it can7 be driven responsibly then it should be
taken. away.

To the Patients, Families and Friends of New Island Hospital:
New Island Hospital is about to embark on an exciting era as an independent community hospital,
dedicated to serving the healthcare needs for you and your neighbors.
Catholic Health Services of Long Island and Winthrop South Nassau Health System are transitioning
their relationships with New Island Hospital. While all the details are not final, we are in the
process of converting our Board of Trustees into a community- based board that is sensitive to the
needs and desires of the communities we serve.
We will continue to maintain relationships with both Catholic Health Services and Winthrop
South Nassau Health System as we make this transition. We would like to thank both of them for
their support over the past six years.
Our new Board co- chairs are Joan Flaumenbaum and Jack Howlett, both residents of Farmingdale.
They are very committed community leaders, devoting long hours to making New Island a success.
This is a wonderful development in the history of our hospital and positions New Island for a
positive future.
We are proud that New Island Hospital's dedicated staff cared for 36,291 hospitalized patients last
year and more than 35,000 visits from nearby residents to our Emergency Room. Our community
hospital is close to home and ready to serve.
At some point in the future, New Island Hospital may explore other affiliations, but for now we
are confident that, with the cooperative support of community members, our board, our medical
staff and our employees and volunteers we can become an even greater asset to the community as
an independent, community hospital.

On Monday, June 27, 2005, the Plainedge school board held a meeting
to discuss what cuts would be made since the majority of voters voted to go
to a contingency budget. While many parents of the district were informed of
this meeting via e- mail from the superintendents compiled list of district e-mails
( which surely is more than 200 people), the administration along with
the school board limited attendance at 200 people and had the remainder of
the people stand out in rain waiting to hear what cuts would be made. Was
this meant to teach the taxpayers a lesson instead of accommodating them
and moving the meeting to the auditorium so that everyone could attend?
Since our school board is so predictable, it was easy to know that the cuts
to be made would directly hurt the children of this district. They decided to cut
secretaries, nurses, sports, clubs, honor society and Pre- k, to show the
parents of this district what a horrible thing they have inflicted on their
children. What they failed to cut was administrative positions that the
community had been pleading with them for months to do. The school board
president and his members are well aware of the fact that the community is
disturbed by the salary of the superintendent and the amount of
administrators that are working under him. This has been swept under the
carpet numerous times by the school board yet they have looked to blame
everyone but themselves as to why this second budget failed. It was their lack
of insight as to what the community wanted that caused this budget to fail a
second time. You would think that when a budget fails by 330 votes the first
time, it is common sense that the community was not happy with what was
submitted to them. All the board needed to do was just shave a little off this
budget so that the people knew they were being listened to and the
Plainedge school district would not be in this predicament.
At Monday's meeting, Ellen Ryder chose to show her lack of
professionalism by singling out various people in the community and blaming
them for our budget failing. These attacks were made at a meeting where
these people mentioned were not present and a meeting where there was
no audience participation. Ellen, you have shown us your true colors. If you
had spoken directly to those you attacked, you would have realized that you
are mistaken in both your facts and assumptions. It is now a great day in
Plainedge that you will no longer be on our school board. My hat goes off to
Ralph Raymond because he was the sole board member who stood up to the
rest of the board and had the courage to address the people waiting outside.
Rich Mallow, as president of this board also showed a lack of professionalism
by allowing one of his board members to conduct herself as she did. You
should really consider what the President's job should be. You should try to
unite a community, not divide one.
Instead of looking to blame community members, we are now faced with a
sad situation. You as a board should look to do what is right by the children
and not try to punish the parents. The Farmingdale school district made it
through a year on a contingency budget and did not cut out all sports and
clubs. If they were able to do it, why can't we? Think of the students and what
is best for them.

To Editor Bethpage Tribune,
I was very angry after reading Councilwoman McCaffrey's " Community
Update" in last week's Tribune. I will address each item as I see it.
1. As pertaining to the new ice rink. When will a public meeting be held so
we as residents might have if not input at least a chance to see and ask
questions of the parties involved.
2. As pertaining to the lovely triangle planted. I think credit should be
given to those responsible. Carolann Catapano, Owner of Century 21 Metro
Realty has taken sole responsibility for planting as well as maintaining this area
for many years. Mr. Sal Greco and the great people from the Bethpage Water
District helped at the project's inception by installing a locked water box which
Carolann uses to water this area. Plants were donated by Catapano Bros.
Nursery, until they sold and Emil's Garden Center. The planters on Broadway
for the first year were filled, planted and maintained by a generous donation
from Mr. Dolan and Cablevision.
After the first year the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce donated the
planting with the understanding from many Civic and Youth groups that they
would be maintained. They were not. The third year a youth group, again with
the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce donating all material did a great job of
planting but again did not follow up with watering and weeding. This year I as a
private resident of Bethpage have asked Emil's Garden Center to plant. They
in turn agreed to donate all material with me picking up the cost of labor. I ask
Mrs. McCaffrey to now use her great interest and influence to set up a
maintenance program so like the last few years the planters will not look like a
weedy mess and waste my money and Emil's Garden Centers generous
donation. Words are powerful but actions are stronger.

Dear Editor,
On June 27, 2005, on a rainy evening, approximately 200 Plainedge
Taxpayers were stopped by the Police from entering a meeting of the
Plainedge Board of Education as there was no room in the Board room. In a
situation like this, it is normal and has been done, many times in the past, to
then have the meeting in the Auditorium to accommodate the public. This is
the first time in the history of this district, that the majority members of the
Board and its Administrator would not open the doors and admit Taxpayers of
this community that were standing in the rain, and continued with the
meeting. Not being at the meeting, I was informed after it ended, that Mrs.
Ryder, decided to chastise and blame community members, by name, of
those she assumed went against the Budget. My name was one of those that
were mentioned. It's obvious to me that Mrs. Ryder has a short memory, for
when I was serving on the Board of Education in 2001 to 2003,1 said on a
number of occasions, in all the years of being active in the School District, I
never told any one how to vote on a budget. As President of the Taxpayers
of Plainedge Schools we found out very early that you never tell members of
the community how to vote. Voting is a personal matter and is no one's
business but their own.
On June 2003,1 was invited and appeared on Channel 12 to speak about
the Plainedge budget. In my statement I did not tell the public how to vote. I
talked about people who wish to give the Board of Education a message
when they vote. I reminded the voters that there is no message to any Board
when only 300 to 400 Community members vote. I further stated that when
4000 community members come out to vote, which ever way they vote, that
is a message. When I arrived at the High School to vote, that evening, I was
greeted by Mr. Mallow who put me into shock by thanking me that I did not tell
the Plainedge voters to vote no on the budget. The second shock took place
when Dr. Richman also thanked me for not telling the Plainedge community
to vote no. However, this year Plainedge taxpayers did send a strong
message which hopefully will not be ignored.
Prior to resigning in January 2003,1 gave the Board members and
Administration, a copy from the Department of Education, of our staff in 1965
when we had 7717 students. Today we have between 3500 to 3600
students with more staff members within the six figure category than we had
in 1965, plus nepotism by some of our Board members which includes Mrs.
Ryder. Last but not least, whatever happened to our first amendment rights in
Plainedge? Have we lost sight of what this country we live in, is all about?
Michael J. Cimino
Former Member of the Plainedge BOE
The Aida Lodge 2163A of Bethpage would like to thank all those in the
Bethpage and surrounding areas who helped to make our June 15, 2005
Chinese Auction a big success. Your continued support helps to fund our
Scholarship programs within the community as well as the many charitable
organizations that we contribute to. I would like to thank the following
merchants who donated gifts for our raffle. Our membership asks your
support in patronizing these merchants. They are: Emil's Nursery Bethpage,
Shop Rite- Plainview Shopping Center; Jillian's, United Skates of America,
Greeniawn Nursery Bethpage, Kelly's Nail Salon, Hicksville, Bethpage
Bouquet, Popeii's Restaurant, Bethpage Bagels, Villa Maria's Restaurant.
Thank you again to all.

— Campagne's Third Annual Career Day is a Success.'
The fascinated faces of
students in grades kindergarten
through five were visual
testimonials to the success of
the third annual Career Day at
Bethpage Charles Campagne
Elementary School. Sponsored
by the PTA, who provided
refreshments, coffee, tea,
doughnuts, croissants, fresh fruit
and juices, the event was chock
full of information for every grade
level on the various professions
of visiting parents, and faculty
members of the Bethpage
School District.
Students in Ms. Delia Valle's
second grade class were thrilled
to be visited by Lieutenant
Norbert, a firefighter in Brooklyn
for the past 18 years. He
explained how using fire safety
techniques, including having a
place to meet outside the home
in emergencies; the " stop, drop
and roll" strategy when smoke
and fire is present, and utilizing
smoke alarms saves lives every
day. He gave the children fire
safety coloring books, rulers and
" junior firefighter" helmets to
bring home and share with
parents.
Mrs. Weinstein's fourth grade
class had an interesting
presentation by Mr. Greenfield,
owner of Shop Rite in Bethpage
who explained how computers
have positively changed
methods of scheduling
employees, as well as in tracking
inventory, and contributes to a
smoother, more cost efficient
operation.
" The computer checks how
much business the store does
every 15 minutes," said Mr.
Greenfield. " It determines how
many people need to be
available to work."
Mr. Evans, the network
administrator in Bethpage
School District visited with
several classes on the topic of
" the use of technology," a
subject which piqued the
curiosity of many students.
" There was an excellent
response from the kids," said Mr.
Evans. " They had general
questions that were more on a
personal level, rather than
technical. It's a little hard for
them to visualize themselves in a
career at this age."
Mrs. Brolly's fifth grade class
was visited by Mrs. Bilardi, a hair
stylist who showed how hair
artistry can create confidence
Mr. Norbert, firefighter speaks to Ms. DellaValle's second grade
class.

Mr. Evans, the network administrator at Bethpage School District
talks about use of technology.
Student, Taylor llasi models her new hairdo, created by Mrs.
Bilardi, a hair stylist who spoke about the job of a hair stylist.
and compliment a person's
features. She explained what a
hairdresser does, the type of
training needed and why it's
important to be passionate about
any career you choose. While
she spoke, she created a
beautiful hairdo on student,
Taylor llasi, the model for the
session, whose new look was
becoming.
Students were eager to hear
about Dr. Pilarte's career, a
pediatrician who works in the
Bronx. Dr. Pilarti, whose three
children attend Bethpage
schools, spoke about what a
typical day is like at his job. Kids
were given the opportunity to ask
questions at the end of the
presentation.
" The children asked a lot of
questions - they were very
motivated," said Dr. Pilarti, who
added that he enjoyed the
experience.
Students had the chance to
learn what Mr. Martin Meaney,
the Assistant District Attorney for
Nassau County does on his job.
Mr. Meaney, Assistant DA for the
past 18 years, knew he would
become a prosecutor in his first
year of law school, he said. He
spoke to the kids about what it
means to be a prosecutor.
" A prosecutor tries to do
justice and do the right thing all
the time," he explained. " If
someone does something
wrong, that person has to be
punished. If they have the wrong
person, that person has to be
released right away."
The third annual Career Day
was a successful event because
of the combined participation of
the PTA, parents, teachers,
administrators and students. It's
an important event, said Mary
Wood, school psychologist
because it opens their eyes to
future opportunities.
" It gives them a chance to
learn about choices of careers
they can have in the future," said
Ms. Wood. " It's a first step to
guiding them in their education."

Children's Author Visits
was constructed by students of
the science classes, and Jeff
Ingrassia, a local contractor. Mr.
Ingrassia, owner of Aqua FX and
Island Land Care, is a member
of the Ponds for Kids program.
Contractors who join this
worthwhile project donate their
time and expertise to install
ponds at local schools.
' The pond is a self- contained,
natural ecosystem with the right
filtration to make it work
throughout the winter. The water
will eventually build its own
ecosystem," explained Mr.
Ingrassia, adding, " To assist a
hundred kids today is a beautiful
thing."
As nearly 100 students of
Environmental, AP Science
classes, General/ Applied
Science, Earth Science,
Chemistry and Biology moved
dirt and lifted rocks to decorate
the pond, they worked diligently
in teams throughout the day to
bring it all together. They were
assisted by several teachers,
Janice Yale, Director of Science
and Mr. Ingrassia. The students
dedicated the well, which was
( Continued from Page 1)
installed near the waterfall, to
former Assistant Principal, Louis
Rotundo; a plaque bearing his
name and picture was engraved
on the well.
Student, Anthony Abatelle,
who is taking chemistry, said the
classes planned for weeks
before the installation.
" We drew out a blueprint of
the pond," said Anthony. " During
the year we'll check the filtration
system, height of the water and
make sure that everything is in
working order."
The " Ponds for Kids Program"
is designed to give children and
young adults an appreciation for
nature and ecology. According to
Janice Yale, the students will be
checking the water quality and
temperature seasonally. She
was delighted with the teamwork
and finished product, largely due
to the students' efforts.
" The best thing about the day
was seeing students of all ages
and interests cooperating to
construct the pond, and the
sense of achievement they
experienced once the job was
done," said Ms. Yale.

Casey Caruso, Kayla Donohue,
Chelsea Donahue and Sagar
Shah, all in grades one and two,
had the opportunity to interact
with their favorite author in an
informative question and answer
session. Mr. Adler, who has
been writing books for more than
30 years, talked about his
background, how he becomes
inspired to write a new book,
how main characters are born,
where ideas come from, the
length of time it takes to write a
book, and how students should
approach writing.
The questions that popped up
the most during the students'
interview with Mr. Adler were,
" How do you get your ideas?"
and " What is the hardest part
about writing a book?" During
her interview with Mr. Adler,
eight year- old student, Chelsea
Donohue asked several
additional questions, such as
" How many books have you
written? And, " Why do you write
a lot of mysteries?"
Mr. Adler said he writes four
to five days a week and speaks
at schools and other institutions
one day a week. The hardest
part about writing a book, he
said, is " just getting started,
getting the voice - because
every story is different. You have
to start with an interesting
character and that comes from
just watching people and
meeting new people wherever
you go. People give me ideas for
writing fiction."
" My favorite thing about
writing is getting the book
published," Mr. Adler continued.
" But before that happens, I like
rewriting it because you can play
with what you've already written.
I like the idea of creating
something new."
Students and teachers had a
wonderful response to the author
visit and it was an informative
lesson in the art of writing books.
