High Speed Race Ends in
Injury and Destruction
Two young men from Elmont were
involved in a 100 mph " speed
contest" on a residential street that
was crowded with people on their way
to a nearby church fair last Sunday.
One of the drivers, his passenger and
the two people in a van that was hit
head- on were injured.
According to detectives from the
Nassau County Homicide Squad, at
3: 30 PM on Sunday, July 24, Daniel
Toscano, 18, was driving his 2002
Nissan Altima north on Seamans Neck
Road in Bethpage. Clint Georges, 20,
was driving his 2003 Honda Accord.
Detectives say that the two men had
made a $ 20 bet and were driving at up
to 100 mph. Georges was driving his
car with a spare tire, called a doughnut,
not designed to be used for long
distances or at high speeds. Police
believe that the doughnut was a
contributing factor in what happened
next.
Many people were in the area to
attend a fair at the nearby St. James
Cathloic Church on Seamans Neck
Road. They watched in horror as
Georges appeared to lose control of
his car during the " race" and hit head-on
a minivan driven south by John
Smith whos wife, Doreen was a
passenger. After he collided with the
van, Georges hit a parked car, then a
house on Seamans Neck Road, then
two more cars and then a fense at
another location on Seamans Neck
Road.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were on
their way home after doing some
errands, suffered injuries to their
upper and lower extremities. They
were taken to New Island Hospital in
Bethpage where they were treated
and released.
Georges and his passenger were
taken to Nassau University Medical
Center in East Meadow, where they
were in stable condition being treated
for trauma.
Toscano and Georges were
arrested at the scene and both
charged wit two counts of Reckless
Endangerment First Degree, a Felony
punishable by two to seven years in
prision, one count of Unauthorized
Speed Contest, and Reckless
Operation of a Motor Vechicle.
Georges was also charged with Unsafe
Tires.
Toscano was arraigned in First
District Court in Hempstead on
Monday and released on probation
pending a hearing on July 27.
Georges will be arraigned when he
is discharged from the hospital.

A Message From The
Bethpage Fire District
The Board of Fire Commissioners of the Bethpage Fire District has
learned from media accounts that criminal charges were filed against
Chief Michael Forman in Suffolk County that relate to his position as a
Suffolk County Police Officer and disability workers compensation
benefits claims filed by him with his employer.
These charges do not relate to the Bethpage Fire District or the
Bethpage Fire Department, and no fraud has been perpetrated against
the taxpayers of the Bethpage Fire District in this matter.
Volunteer firefighters in the Bethpage Fire Department receive no pay
or remuneration for the services that they render to the community. The
Bethpage Fire Department and Bethpage Fire District do not make
inquires to volunteer firefighters as to their personal employment status
or any worker compensation or disability benefits claim they may have
filed with their personal employers unless a claim for similar benefits is
filed with the Bethpage Fire District. In this case Chief Forman submitted
no claim to the Bethpage Fire Department for similar benefits, and thus,
this is a personal matter between Chief Forman and the County of
Suffolk.
The Board believes that it is inappropriate to comment on this
investigation and the criminal charges filed because the Fire District and
Fire Department have not been involved in this investigation and the
criminal charges relate to the personal employment status of the
volunteer firefighter.
The Board also believes that it is important to remember that all
citizens charged with crimes are entitled to the presumption of
innocence, and these matters are best left to a jury of the defendants
peers.
The Board would like to stress that it is important to note that these
charges relate to payments made by the Count Of Suffolk and not by the
taxpayers of the Bethpage Fire District. Any services rendered to the
Bethpage Fire District were volunteered services.

College. Bison, horses, cattle- race in
wild profusion across the walls of a
cave deep within the Dordogne
Mountains of France. The paintings

Tips for Child Passengers
As Long Islanders enjoy those summer
vacations, Vytra Health Plans offers
tips that focus on safely transporting
children.
According to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, motor
vehicle crashes are the leading cause
of death for all children between the
ages of six and 15. Unrestrained chil­dren
are three times more likely to be
injured in a crash than those who are
restrained.
New York State law requires chil­dren
under the age of seven to be in
federally approved child safety seats,
which, when installed and used prop­erly,
greatly reduce the risk of injury.
Parents are advised to follow these
recommendations on child passenger
safety:
• Use rear- facing infant seats for chil­dren
under the age of one or under
20 pounds.
• Use forward- facing child safety
seats for children from one to four
years old and between 20 and 40
pounds
• Use forward- facing booster seats
for children from ages four to eight
and who are less than four- feet, nine-inches
tall.
• Children should be at least eight
years old and more than four- feet,
nine- inches tall before using seat
belts.
• Never place a child under the age
of 12 in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with a passenger air bag.
Vytra Health Plans is a Long Island-based
health plan providing personal­ized
health care coverage and third-party
administrative services to
approximately' 175,000 members in
Nassau, Suffolk and Queens
Counties. Visit the Vytra Living sec­tion
of www. vytra. com for more safety
tips and other health topics .

" Walking is an excellent form of

but shows results," Councilwoman
McCaffery said. " It is an ideal form of
exercise for people of all ages and fit­ness
levels. Response to the Town-sponsored
walking programs over the
years has been enthusiastic. People
join for the exercise, as well as the

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor John

on to say that the bands and artists
will include Wonderous Stories, Gloria
Gaynor, Musique, Martha Wash, Phil
Costa & The Something Special Big
Band, " Magic Al", Steve Rodman,
Lesley Gore and Dr. K's Motown
Revue.
Kicking off the week will be
Wonderous Stories, a very talented
band that plays complete renditions of
landmark rock albums such as The
Beatles' " Sgt. Pepper's" and " Abbey
Road," The Who's rock opera
" Tommy," and music from the likes of
Yes, " Genesis, The Moody Blues and
many more. This reminiscence of
classic hits will take place at Ellsworth
W. Allen Town Park, Heisser Lane
Farmingdale.
" Each musician in the band is very
talented and has had a lot of experi­ence,"
Supervisor Venditto said. " For
example, the drummer, Ticky
Martinez, has played for Billy Joel's
producer and Phil Ramone's big pro­duction
of ' Elvis.' What's more, the
keyboard player, Chris Clark, played
in the John Entwistle Band ( of The
Who) and currently plays in the
Broadway pits."
On Tuesday, August 2, John J.
Burns Town Park, Merrick Road,
Massapequa, will resound with the
dynamic voice of Gloria Gaynor, the
artist who created the platinum record
" I Will Survive." Also performing will
be the band Musique and the artist of
the smash hit " It's Raining Men,"
Martha Wash.
" I don't think there is one person
who hasn't heard and fell in love with
the song ' I Will Survive,'" the
Supervisor stated. " Nobody should
miss this once- in- a- iifetime opportuni­ty
to see Gloria Gaynor free- of-charge.
And don't cheat yourself by
leaving early. Musique follows with
Martha Wash right behind them."
Wednesday, August 3, Phil Costa &
The Something Special Big Band will.
take the stage at H. B. Mattlin Middle
School, Washington Avenue,
Plainview.
This talented group is considered to
be one of the finest swing/ jazz bands
in the metropolitan area," Supervisor
Venditto said. " Some of the artists in
the Something Special Big Band have
had the honor of playing with legends
such as Benny Goodman, Lionel
Hampton, Count Basie and Woody
Herman. They are all professionals
who know how to show a crowd a
good time."

entertainers love to perform mind-boggling
magic tricks, and they both
throw their own wacky style into the
mix. With his touch of silliness, Magic
Al knows just how to get that viva­cious
laughter out of the kids. Steve
Rodman's ebullience also adds to his
hilarious comedy routine.
Friday, August 5 will bring the first-class
singer Lesley Gore and the sen­sational
Dr. K's Motown Revue to the
Hicksville High School Field located
by the Newbridge Road entrance.

The Way The Boys Are,' ' You Don't
Own Me,' and ' It's My Party.' With this
popular act followed by the hopping
group Dr. K's Motown Revue, it will be
a night to remember."

Beach Bums performing against the
perfect backdrop provided by Stehli
Beach, Bayville Road, Bayville.
" Good Vibrations,' ' Surfin USA,
' California Girls'... The Beach Bums
sing the hit songs of the Beach Boy's
in a lively, upbeat way, reflecting the
heyday of the group as a fabulous
touring band," Supervisor Venditto
said. " If you want to have a great -
evening of music and entertainment,
come and experience the sound of
the Beach Boys, live and loud!"
Supervisor Venditto noted that all
performances begin at 8: 00 p. m. In

Summer Safety Tips
FUN IN THE SUN
Babies under 6 months:
- Avoiding sun exposure and dressing infants in lightweight long pants,
long- sleeved shirts, and brimmed hats are still the top recommendations from
the
AAP to prevent sunburn. However when adequate clothing and shade are not
available, parents can apply a minimai amount of suncreen to small areas, such
as the infant's face and the back of the hands.
For Young Children:
- Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside, and use sunscreen
even on cloudy days. The SPF should be at least 15.
For Older Children:
- The first, and best, line of defense against the sun is covering up. Wear a
hat with a three- inch brim or a bill facing forward, sunglasses ( look for
sunglasses that block 99- 100% of ultraviolet rays), and cotton clothing with a
tight weave.
- Stay in the shade whenever possible, and avoid sun exposure during the peak
intensity hours - between 10 a. m. and 4 p. m.
- Use a sunscreen with an SPF ( sun protection factor) of 15 or greater. Be sure
to apply enough sunscreen - about one ounce per sitting for a young adult.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.
HEAT STRESS IN EXERCISING CHILDREN
- The intensity of activities that last 15 minutes or more should be reduced
whenever high heat and humidity reach critical levels.
- At the beginning of a strenuous exercise program or after traveling to a
warmer climate, the intensity and duration of exercise should be limited
initially and then gradually increased during a period of 10 to 14 days to
accomplish acclimatization to the heat.
- Before prolonged physical activity, the child should be well- hydrated. During
the activity, periodic drinking should be enforced, for example, each 20
minutes, 5 oz of cold tap water or a flavored sports drink for a child weighing
88 lbs, and 9 oz for an adolescent weighing 132 lbs, even if the child does not
tee\ thirsty.
- Clothing should be light- colored and lightweight and limited to one layer of
absorbent material to facilitate evaporation of sweat. Sweat- saturated garments
should be replaced by dry garments.
POOL SAFETY
Oo
CM
- Never leave children alone in or near the pool, even for a moment.
- Install a fence at least four- feet high around all four sides of the pool. The
fence should not have openings or protrusions that a young child could use to
get over, under, or through the fence.
- Make sure pool gates open out from the pool, and self- close and self- latch at
a height children can't reach.
- Keep rescue equipment ( a shepherd's hook - a long pole with a hook on the
end
- and life preserver) and a portable telephone near the pool.
- Avoid inflatable swimming aids such as " floaties." They are not a substitute
for approved life vests and can give children a false sense of security.
- Children may not be developmental^ ready for swim lessons until after their
fourth birthday. Swim programs for children under 4 should not be seen as a way
to decrease the risk of drowning.
- Whenever infants or toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within
arm's length, providing " touch supervision."
BUG SAFETY
J* - Don't use scented soaps, perfumes or hair sprays on your child.
- Avoid areas where insects nest or congregate, such as stagnant pools of water,
gj uncovered foods and gardens where flowers are in bloom.
^ - Avoid dressing your child in clothing with bright colors or flowery prints.

- To remove a visible stinger from skin, gently scrape it off horizontally with
a credit card or your fingernail.
- Insect repellents containing DEET are the most effective.
- The concentration of DEET in products may range from less than 10 percent to
over 30 percent. The benefits of DEET reach a peak at a concentration of 30
percent, the maximum concentration currently recommended for infants and
children. DEET should not be used on children under 2 months of age.
- The concentration of DEET varies significantly from product to product, so
read the label of any product you purchase.
PLAYGROUND SAFETY
- Install and maintain a shock- absorbing surface under and around the play
equipment. Use at least 9 inches of wood chips, mulch, or shredded rubber for
play equipment up to 7 feet high. If sand or pea gravel is used, install at
least a 9- inch layer for play equipment up to 5 feet high.
- Carefully maintain all equipment. Open " s" hooks or protruding bolt ends can
be hazardous.
- Swing, seats should be made of soft materials such as rubber, plastic or
canvas.
- Make sure children cannot reach any moving parts that might pinch or trap any
body part.
- Never attach- or allow children to attach- ropes, jump ropes, leashes, or
similar items to play equipment; children can strangle on these.
- Make sure metal slides are cool to prevent children's legs from getting
burned.
- Parents should never purchase a home trampoline or allow children to use
home
trampolines.
- Parents should supervise children on play equipment to make sure they are
• safe.
BiCYCLE~ SAFETY
- Do not push your child to ride a 2- wheeled bike until he or she is ready, at
about age 5 or 6. Consider the child's coordination and desire to learn to ride.
Stick with coaster ( foot) brakes until your child is older and more experienced
for hand brakes.
- Take your child with you when you shop for the bike, so that he or she can try
it out. The value of a properly fitting bike far outweighs the value of
surprising your child with a new bike.
- Buy a bike that is the right size, not one your child has to " grow into."
Oversized bikes are especially dangerous.
- Your child needs to wear a helmet on every bike ride, no matter how short or
how close to home. Many accidents happen in driveways, on sidewalks, and on
bike
paths, not just on streets. Children learn best by observing you. Whenever you
ride your bike, put on your helmet.
- When purchasing a helmet, look for a label or sticker that says the helmet
meets the CPSC safety standard.
- A helmet protects your child from serious injury, and should always be worn.
And remember, wearing a helmet at all times helps children develop the helmet
habit.
- A helmet should be worn so that it is level on the head, not tipped forwards
or backwards. The strap should be securely fastened, and you should not be able
to move the helmet in any direction. If needed, the helmet's sizing pads can
help improve the fit.
SKATEBOARD AND SCOOTER SAFETY
- Children should never ride skateboards or scooters in or near traffic.
- All skateboarders and scooter- riders should wear a helmet and other protective
gear.
- Communities should continue to develop skateboard parks, which are more
likely
to be monitored for safety than ramps and jumps constructed by children at
home.
LAWN MOWER SAFETY
- Try to use a mower with a control that stops the mower from movinq forwardif
the handle is let go.
- Children younger than 16 years should not be allowed to use ride- on mowers
Children younger than 12 years should not use walk- behind mowers
- Make sure that sturdy shoes ( not sandals or sneakers) are worn while mowing
- Prevent injuries from flying objects, such as stones or toys, by picking up
objects from the lawn before mowing begins. Have anyone who uses a mower
wear
hearing and eye protection.
- Do not pull the mower backward or mow in reverse unless absolutely neces­sary,
y
and carefully look for children behind you when you mow in reverse
- Always turn off the mower and wait for the blades to stop completely before
removing the grass catcher, unclogging the discharge chute, or crossing gravel
paths, roads, or other areas.
- Do not allow children to ride as passengers on ride- on mowers.

Traditional Irish Music
Old Bethpage Village Restoration
will present the music of old Ireland
and 19th century Irish- American
tunes on Sunday, August 21 from 12
to 4 p. m. within the historic village
setting, announced Nassau County
Executive Thomas R. Suozzi.
The music will include traditional
Irish fiddle tunes as performed by
Eric Marten and the music of the uil-leann
bagpipes and Celtic harp, as
performed by Charles and Maureen
Mooney. The uilleann pipes, a tradi­tional
Irish musical instrument, are
quite different from the Highland
pipes commonly heard today.
Uilleann bagpipes, also known as
parlor pipes, are much softer in tone
for playing indoors. Familiar reels
and jigs, along with historically
appropriate songs such as Kathleen
Movurneen, The Minstrel Boy and
The Wearing of the Green will be
played in spirit of the day.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration,
operated by the Nassau County
Departmetn of Parks, Recreation
and Museums, is located on Round
Swamp Road in Old Bethpage, one
mile south of exit 48 of the Long
Island Expressway. Admission is $ 7

Cedarmere Museum Open For The
Summer
Cedarmere, the Roslyn Harbor
museum which has been called " a
gem" and " one of the best kept
secrets on Long Island," is open for
the summer and ready to share its
secret charms with everyone, notes
Nassau County Executive Thomas
R. Suozzi.
Cedarmere was the Long Island
home of the prominent nineteenth-century
poet and newspaper editor
William Cullen Bryant, who lived at
Cedarmere from 1843 until his death
in 1878. The museum includes
Bryant's house, a Gothic Revival mill
and summer cottage, a picturesque
pond spanned by a stone bridge,
numerous specimen trees and a
boxwood- edged parterre garden
which visitors have often described
as " absolutely beautiful." The entire
site overlooks the pristine waters of
Hempstead Harbor, giving visitors a
view much like that which inspired
Bryant's poetry 150 years ago.
Cedarmere, the Nassau County
Department of Parks, Recreation
and Museums, is located on Bryant
Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, west of
Glen Cove Road. It is open
Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5
p. m. Admission is free. For further

Long Island Blood Emergency
Continues
Blood donations still lag 25%
behind what is required to
adequately serve patients in close to
50 Long Island hospitals, forcing
Long Island Blood Services ( LIBS), a
divsion of New York Blood Center-the
majority blood supplier in the
metro New York/ New Jersey region-to
issue its second emergency
appeal for blood this summer. It falls
shorly after the New York State
Department of Health, the New
Jersey Department of Health &
Senior Services and U. S. Senator
Charles Schumer all issued appeals
for blood.
Anyone eligible- to donate blood
or hot a blood drive is earged to call
1- 800- 933- BLOOD or go to
www. nybloodcenter. org to
schedule an immediate appointment
or locate the most convenient donor
location on Long Island. In addition
to blood drive, LIBS operated seven
donation centers located in
Rockville Centre, Lake Success,
Mineola, Melville, Bohemia, Port
Jefferson and Riverhead. People
can also donate at their local hospital
if it has a blood donor room.
" We began rationing blood
distrubution in June," points out Dr.
James Louie, Long Island Blood
Services' Executive Director. " Now
we have grown even more
concerned about our community's
blood shortage and its potential for
compromising health care here this
summer."
Reasons for the critical summer
shortage include lower than average
donor turnout, a preoccupation with
summer vacations and the inability to
collect blood at high school and
college drives ( which typically make
up approximately 15% of the local
community blood supply) in the
summer months. " But that's no
consolation for the 4 million
Americans who rely on life- saving
transfusions each year," explains Dr.
Louie.
Moreover, in times of heightened
alerts, terrorism acts, building
collapses and other unscheduled
events, " It's the blood that's already
on the shelf that will keep our
community healthy and prepared,"
Dr. Louie colcludes.
Long Island alone needs 800
volunteer donations each day to
ensure adequate blood products
are available for local cancer and
surgery patients, accident and
trauma victims, newborn babies and
many other patients in need. Blood
donors of all types are needed.
Blood donors must be at least 17,
weigh a minimum of 110 pounds
and be in generally good health.
Donors must also meet all Food &
Drug Administration and New York
Department of Health donor criteria.
Traditional 19th Century Contra
Dancing At Old Bethpage
Old Bethpage Village
Restoration will come alive with
dancing on Saturday, August 13
from 1: 30 to 4 p. m., announced
Nassau County Executive Thomas
R. Suozzi.
On warm summer evenings or
cold winter days, many 19th century
Long Islanders took pleasure by
listening to the tune of the fiddle
and dancing to the calls of the local
dance master. That wonderful
tradition can still be enjoyed at Old
Bethpage Village Restoration when
the Old Bethpage Village Dance
Ensemble will perform in the Noon
Inn PicNic Grove.
The Old Bethpage Village
Dancers, called by the accomplished
dance master Chart Guthrie, is a
group of dedicated volunteers who
practice a variety of contradances,
quadrilles and reels and perform at
Old Bethpage Village Restoration
monthly. The dancers, all in mid 19th
century attire, will demonstrate
dances like the Jefferson and
Liberty, the Lancer's Quadrille and
the Virginia Reel, and then ask the
audience to join them and learn the
gracious art of traditional American
dance.
Old Bethpage Village
Restoration is operated by the
Nassau County Department of

Bethpage's Paula MacCulloch ( 2nd R) and other Clydesdale
Award winners are congratulated by New York State
Assemblyman Rob Walker ( R) and Danielle Davis and Melissa
Gallagher ( L).
Some of the best women
runners in the world joined with lots
of runners from Long Island for the
22nd annual Vytra Women's Run,
held on the roads of Farmingdale on
Saturday morning, July 9, 2005 -
and everyone enjoyed an almost
picture perfect event!
Three athletes from Bethpage
were among the Award winners.
Laura Gluf scored as the first finisher
in the 35- 39 age group, with a time
of 19 minutes, 52 seconds. Paula
MacCulloch was the 4th place
finisher in the Clydesdale 140- 159
pound Weight Division, scoring in
25: 46. Jean Vanturini took 4th place
honors in the 65- 69 age group,

the strain as she approaches
the finish line.
40: 13.
This year's Run was once again
conducted by the Greater Long
Island Running Club in conjunction
with the Town of Oyster Bay, with
the very generous folks at Vytra
Special thanks go to The Town of
Oyster Bay and its very supportive
Supervisor John Venditto for their
continued support for running and

presented to all Fun Run finishers.
A portion of the proceeds was
presented to the 1 in 9 Long Island
Breast Cancer Action Coalition, and
the great work they are doing to
promote awareness of the breast
cancer epidemic through education,
outreach, environmental advocacy,
and the direct support of innovative
epidemiological research to find the
causes of and cures for breast
cancer and other related cancers.
Veteran Bethpage runner Jean
Vanturini heads for the finish.
Health Plans once again coming on
board as the title sponsor, with a big
assist from Bob Cook and his great
staff at The Runner's Edge, and

event this year, with Dawn Farina
serving as the Coordinator of Elite
Athletes. The 2005 edition of the
Run was again part of the Grand Prix
of Long Island Road Races,
conducted under the auspices of

Run that preceded the main event.
Lynch Family Team To Compete in
Honor of Son and Brother 1st Lt.
Bill Lynch of Jericho, New York
and his son Tim will be competing as
a two man family team in the August
21, 2005 Vytra- TOBAY Triathlon in
honor and in memory of 1st
Lieutenant Matt Lynch, U. S. Marine
Corps, who was killed in Iraq last
October.
This will be the 18th annual
edition of the Vytra- TOBAY
Triathlon, which starts and finishes in
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park
in Oyster Bay. The event consists of
a 1 Kilometer swim in Oyster Bay
harbor, a 15 Kilometer bike ride
through Oyster Bay Cove, and a 5
Kilometer run up to the Planting
Fields Arboretum and back to the
finish line in Roosevelt Park. 1400
athletes representing nine States
and the District of Columbia
participated in the 2004 edition of
the Triathlon, making it the largest
multisport event in the New York
Metropolitan area.
In 1999, Matt Lynch swam, dad Bill
biked, and Tim ran, as the Lynch
family took first place in the Family
Relay Team Division of the Vytra-
TOBAY Triathlon. Brothers Matt and
Tim then each became officers in
the U. S. Marine Corps. Tim served in
Afghanistan and Iraq and Matt
served three tours in Iraq.
On August 21, 2004, at a family
wedding in Colorado Springs, Bill
Tim and Matt decided to again
compete as a Ralay Team in the
2005 Vytra- TOBAY Trathlon and try
to win the Family Division once
again. The three shook hands on it,
and sealed their pledge with a beer.
The next day, dad Bill dropped
Matt off at the Colorado Springs
Airport, as he had volunteered to
return for his third tour in Iraq. Bill
told his son to be careful, and
reminded him of their pledge to do
the 2005 Vytra- TOBAYTriathlon
together. Matt replied, " No sweat; I'll
be there."
On October 31, 2004, while
leading a combat patrol near Ramadi,
Al Anbar Province, in Iraq, 1st Lt.
Matthew D. Lynch was killed when a
roadside bomb hit his Humvee. The
four other Marines in his vehicle
were seriously injured.
Months later, Bill asked his
surviving son Tim what he wanted to
do about the 2005 Vytra- TOBAY
Triathlon, and Tim replied " Dad, we'll
do a missing man formation, and the
two of us will do it for Matt."
Ironically, this year's Triathlon,
falling on Sunday, August 21, will be
exactly one year from the date that
Bill, Tim and Matt made their pledge
to compete.
Bills expects the morning of
August 21 to be difficult for Tim and
him. " I also know that each of us will
2005 Vytra- TOBAY Triathlon in
Matt Lynch, USMC, killedinIraq
be ' drafting' behind Matt's spirit, and
that we wil do the best we can to
make our efforts honor Matt's
sacrifice," observed Bill. " My wife
Angela will be there, and the
members of out extended family will
also be there, also competing in
Matt's memory. When it's over, Tim
and I will toast Matt with a beer, be
happy we honored our pledge. but
sad that Matt could only be with us
in spirit."
College Tuition Assistance
A conservative estimate of
college costs for a full- time student
runs from $ 10,000-$ 30,000; high
cost colleges can run from $ 40,000-
$ 100,000! Most parents and
students think that scholarships are
only for the students with excellent
grades, low- income families, or the
athletically inclined. A small example
of the numerous scholarships
available to students include:
Handicapped Student Scholarships,
Members of a Church Scholarships,
Scholarships for " C" Students,
Veteran Children's Scholarships,
Scholarships for Minorities and
much, much more.
Though the majority of
scholarships are from the Federal
Government and are merit and/ or
need- based, millions of dollars are
available to students from private
sector scholarships. Much of private
sector financial aid goes unused"
because the parents and students
do not know how or where to apply.
There are organizations that have
spent hundreds of hours in research
locating scholarship sources. The
U. S. Commission for Scholastic
Assistance - College Bound is such
an organization and supplies the
public with over 1000 different
private scholarships sources. The
scholarship list include the
scholarship names, addresses,
application deadlines, summaries
about the scholarships and the
amount the scholarship will pay your
child.
Many scholarships pay the entire
tuition; others can be applied
towards tuition, living expenses,
and/ or other fees. Most scholarships
can be used at junior colleges,
career and vocational schools, 4
year colleges, graduate schools,
medical and law schools.
For information on obtaining
these scholarship lists, send a self-addressed,
stamped, business size,
# 10, envelope to: The U. S.
Commission for Scholastic
Assistance, P. O. Box 650067,
Potomac Falls, VA 20165- 0067.

Saint Anthony
O Holy Saint Anthony Gentlest of
Saints your love for God and charity
for his creatures, made you worthy,
when on earth, to possess
miraculous powers. Miracles waited
on your word, which you were ever
ready to speak for those in trouble or
anxiety. Encouraged by this
thought, I implore of you to obtain
for me ( request). The answer to my
prayer may require a miracle, even
so, you are the Saint of miracles. A
gently and loving Saint Anthony,
whose heart was ever full of human
sympathy, whisper my petition into
the ears of the sweet infant Jesus,
who loved to be folded in your arms,
and the gratitude of my heart will
ever be yours. 13 day Novena 3 Our
Fathers 3 Hail Mary's. Glory the
Father. Publication must be
