A Message from Supervisor John Venditto
Temporary Closing of
Community Park
As you may already be aware, the
Town of Oyster Bay and the State
Department of Environmental
Conservation ( DEC) have entered
into an Order on Consent regarding
Bethpage Community Park. This
allows for the Town to develop and
implement its own remediation plan,
based on testing performed by its
own experts, for the first phase of
the cleanup and remediation, which
is an approximately 6.6- acre area at
the north end of the park.
The Town hired H2M Group, an
environmental engineering firm, to
develop a remediation plan, known
as an Interim Remedial Measure
( IRM). Once the Order on Consent
was signed, the DEC approved the
first step of the IRM, a site
investigation, which follows a DEC-approved
plan for further testing of
soil and water. During the
investigation, scheduled to take
place during May and the early part
of June, special drills will be used to
extract the soil samples of depths up
to 60 feet below ground. A
groundwater sampling program will
also be implemented to assess
groundwater quality beneath the
park. At present, there is one
groundwater monitoring well within
the park and three around the
perimeter, which are part of Northrop
Grumman's ongoing remediation
program. Four additional wells will be
established to target groundwater
quality relative to the Town's
remediation area. The soil and water
samples will be analyzed, the new
data, along with previously collected
data, will be evaluated and an
appropriate Remediation Action
Plan will be prepared that addresses
all health and environmental issues.
During the testing, the park will
be closed to the public. The testing
is expected to take four to six
weeks, and the park will be open in
time for the start of the pool season
on Saturday, June 25. If you have
questions concerning the upcoming
work in the park, please contact
Phyllis Barry in the Public
Information Office at 624- 6390.
PLEASE NOTE: Pool
registration, which begins on
Saturday, May 28, will be held at
Haypath Road Community Park,
Haypath Road and Fairway Drive,
Old Bethpage. The dates and times
for registration are: May 28 and June
2,4, 9, 11, 16,18 and 23- noon to
7: 00 p. m.; May 29 and 30 and June
3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 19 and 24 - noon to
6: 00 p. m. Questions concerning
pool registration should be directed
to the Parks Department at 797-
4159.
The park will be remediated in
two phases. The first phase is the
portion covered under the Consent
Order. Once that area has been
remediated... actual remediation is
slated to begin in the fall of 2005
after pool season has ended... the
Town will proceed with plans to
close the existing entrance to the
park and construct a new entrance
from the Cherry Avenue Extension.
Upon completion of Phase I
remediation and improvements,
Phase II, which is in the area of the
ballfield where the greatest amount
of contamination has been found
and will require more extensive
remediation, will be addressed.
There will be additional public
outreach before any remediation
begins.
Since the closing of the park
following the discovery of PCB's
( polychlorinated biphenyls) in the
soil, the Town has been working
closely with State officials to get the
responsible parties to take legal and
financial responsibility for the
remediation of the park and to
develop and implement a
remediation plan in an expeditious
manner. The Town took the unusual
step of asking the DEC for a
Consent Order for the Town to
begin the cleanup of the park when
it became apparent that the
responsible parties would not have a
remediation plan in place in the near
future. I feel strongly the only way
we can get the park fully back in
operation and proceed with plans for
park improvements is for the Town
to take the lead. The Town has
commenced legal action against
Northrop Grumman and the United
States Navy for financial
reimbursement for any work
performed by the Town in
connection with the remediation of
the park.
As always, if I can be of help to
you on this or any other matter,
please feel free to call my office at
624- 6350.
Very truly yours,
JOHN VENDITTO
TOWN SUPERVISOR
Bethpage Fire Department
Station Four Dedication
-. . : - - > : >- v ?>'- - < --
Fifty years ago, in 1955, the
Bethpage fire district board of fire
commissioners began planning for a
fast growing Bethpage community.
Homes were quickly being built and
Grumman Aerospace was busy
expanding to a thriving 600 acre
Facility. There was a need for more
fire protection on the North and
south sides of the fire district.
Response times were becoming too
long from the Broadway
headquarters location.
Two new companies were to be
formed from the headquarters'
membership who resided in these
areas. Engine Company 5 was
formed on the south side of the
district on Union Avenue where they
still exist today. Engine Company 4
was formed on the north side of the
district just south of our present
location. Engine Company 4 was
established with a charter
membership of 15 men and a new
firehouse consisting of two bays
were to be built on land donated
from the Grumman Corp. In 1970 a
new addition was added on to
accommodate a ladder truck and a
new mechanics shop.
Time, age, larger fire apparatus
and growing membership forced the
board of fire commissioners to make
plans for a new building. The plans
for the new building started in 1996.
After much planning, construction
began in March 2003 and was
completed in April 2004. Shortly

Spring Clean Your Life
How often do you fantasize
about the life you always wanted for
yourself but never seem to enjoy?
Does the grass always look greener
on the other side? If you answered
" yes," please make time to attend
this life- altering seminar.
We are, for the most part,
conductors of our own life's
symphony. But how do we begin
living the life we want, and once we
begin, how do we keep on living

In order to compose our life's
symphony, we need to incorporate
awareness, acknowledgement and
action into our daily routine. This
seminar will teach you how to do
this, through lecture, meditation and
a question and answer period.

ART IN THE AFTERNOON series. In
the early 20th Century, German
architects pioneered a new vision
blending fine art with crafts that was
inspired by recent industrial
buildings, early skyscrapers in
America and the ideas of Frank
Lloyd Wright and Mondrian. Under
architect Walter Gropius, their
influence was deemed to have
created a European International
style in Weimer and Dessau, site of a
famous art school, The Bauhaus.
This style was carried to much of the
industrialized world and influenced
design for decades to come.
Plan on coming to the Bethpage
library on Thursday, June 2 at 2: 00
P. M. when Dr. Jonathan Irving,
Assistant Director of the Aaron
Copland School of Music at Queens
College will be back at the library as

pieces. The program will include live
piano performances of his Sonatine
and selections from Gaspard de la

New Island Hospital
Sponsors Blood Drive
New Island Hospital in
conjunction with Long Island Blood
Services ( LIBS), will hold a blood
drive in its Staff Room on Tuesday,
May 17, 2005 from 7: 00 AM to 6: 00
PM. New Island Hospital is located at
4295 Hempstead Turnpike in
Bethpage.
Our community's supply of blood
is increasingly low and, in fact,
becoming " critically low" as the
demand for transfusions increases -
yet, donor and donation rates are
not keeping pace with demand. New
York Blood Center ( LIBS' parent
organization) alone imports over
50,000 pints each year from other
U. S. blood centers just to meet local
hospital patient needs. Over 800 '
volunteer blood donations are
needed each day for hospital
patients, but donations often lag
behind each day by as much as 20-
25 percent. This supply/ demand
gap has forced the continued
distribution cutback of Type O
Negative and B Negative blood to
area hospitals since the beginning
of 2005.
Donors must be age 16- 75 ( 16
with written parental permission; 76+
with a doctor's note), weigh a
minimum of 110 pounds and be in
good general health. All donors
receive free mini medical exams and
information about their temperature,
pulse rate, blood pressure and
hemoglobin level.
To make an appointment for this
blood drive, call ( 516) 520- 2223. For

donation or other blood drives, call

Raccoon Confirmed Rabid
The New York State Department
of Health has confirmed the first
case of rabies found in a raccoon
this year in Nassau County. The
animal was collected by the Nassau
County Department of Health in East
Hills on March 31st. In 2004, ten
raccoons were confirmed rabid.
Dr. David M. Ackman,
Commissioner of Health is asking
residents to report seeing any
animal, especially raccoons or
opossums that are ill, dead or acting
unusually, to the Nassau County
Department of Health at ( 516) 571-
2290. " For the safety of your family,
do not attempt to feed or handle any
wild animal," he said. " However,
surveillance is critical for the entire
county in order to determine how far
the outbreak has spread."
Individuals bitten or scratched by
any animal should immediately
contact their physicians or seek
medical help at a hospital
emergency room and call the
Nassau County Department of
Health.

The 2005 " Guide for the Disposal
of Syringes and Other Household
Sharps for the Residents of Nassau
County" is available free from the
Nassau County Department of
Health.
Millions of Americans with a
variety of medical conditions use
sharps such as needles, syringes,
and lancets. In this country, over
three billion injections occur
annually in non health care settings.
On Long Island, at least sixty five
million syringes are used in non­medical
settings annually. The guide
provides information on how to
safely dispose of sharps to avoid
accidentally spreading diseases due
to inadvertent sharps injuries.
The guide provides the most
recent United States Environmental
Protection Agency ( EPA)
recommendations for disposal of
sharps. Previously the EPA
recommended putting sharps in a
hard container and disposing the
container in the trash. But this
practice is now seen as dangerous;
sharps can injure janitors,
housekeepers, trash workers, and
others. Diseases such as hepatitis
B, hepatitis C, and HIV can be
spread through needle stick injures.
The guide lists Nassau County
hospitals and nursing homes
required to accept medical sharps
from private residents. This list
includes addresses, days and hours
of operation, contacts and phone
numbers tot each facility. Residents
are asked to contact the hospital or
nursing home before bringing
sharps to the facility.
If a needle or syringe is found in a
public area such as a park or
playground, call the Nassau County
Police Department by dialing 911.
Police cars are equipped with
approved waste disposal containers.
For information please call the
Nassau County Department of
Health, weekdays, 9: 00 a. m. - 4: 45
p. m. at 571- 2019.

The Superintendent of the
United States Air Force Academy
announces that Thomas Patrick
Shea of the Class of 2005 is a
candidate for the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Management
and a commission as a Second
Lieutenant in the United States Air
Force Wednesday, June first United
States Air Force Academy Colorado.
Cadet First Class Captain Tommy
Shea as he is called at the academy
is in his final semester and Flight
Commander of cadet Squadron 11.
He is in charge and responsible for
approximately 60 underclass cadets.
Tom is the starting scrum half for the
academy's nationally ranked rugby
team. They are currently ranked
number two in the country. During
spring break they are touring
northern California playing four
matches.
Tom has completed FAA ground
school and is currently flying to
obtain his private pilots license. After
graduation he has been assigned to
Laughlin Air Force Bases 47th Flight
Training Wing, Del Rio, Texas. There
he will begin Specialized Jet Pilot
Training for 54 weeks and then
assigned to a specific jet.
During Tom's four years at the
Academy he has been awarded
many academic, athletic and military
leadership awards. He has
completed land and water survival
training and exercises in global
engagement and fire arm
proficiency. He has been in charge
of certain aspects of basic cadet
training for new cadets and has met
with many Congressmen and
Senators from all over the country.
Tom has visited many Air Force
bases and has flown in many
different military aircraft including
C130s, F16s, surveillance aircraft
and helicopters.
Community service in the
Colorado Springs area has also
been part of Tom's four years
including activities with senior
citizens, young children and special
needs children. These included
serving meals at different events,
Halloween parties, rodeos and
sporting events.
Academics at the Air Force
Academy are very challenging. A
minimum of 132 semester hours are
required which includes courses in
chosen academic majors and
required core engineering and
science courses such as electrical
and mechanical engineering,
aeronautical and aerospace
engineering, chemistry and physics
just to name a few. Along with the
academic requirements military
studies are included in the everyday
schedule. Military history, strategy
and leadership development
courses are evaluated and graded.
Physical fitness performance tests
are required every semester which
are evaluated and graded as part of
graduation requirements. The
everyday life of a cadet is very
demanding with little if any free time.
Beginning at 5: 30 am everyday and
ending very late each evening
academic, athletics and military
duties consume most of their time.
The challenges set before them
during the four years at the
Academy is what turns them into
leaders of the most technical and
powerful Air and Space Force in the
world.
We are so proud of you and all
you have accomplished and what
you still have ahead of you. May God
bless you and keep you safe. All our
love, Dad, Mom, Lauren, Amanda,
Jessica and Samantha.

eternal glory. Thank you for your
mercy toward me and mine. The
person must say this prayer 3
consecutive days, the request will

RE- ELECT
LOU ORFAN
FOR BETHPAGE SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE
Lou's main goals are to work for an excellent educational program
supported by prudent funding. Board practices and procedures
conducive to encouraging restoration of wide citizen attendance and
direct participation at monthly board meetii
BACKGROUND
• Lou and his wife Nancy ( nee Esposito) have been Bethpage
Residents since their marriage in 1955.
• BA Degree ( NYU) and Doctor of Jurisprudence ( J. D.
Degree) ( Indiana Univ. Law School).
• Veteran WWII, 80th Infantry Div. ( European Theater)
• Three Children ( Liz, Nicholas, John) attended all schools
of Bethpage School District. Liz and John are practicing
Attorneys; Nicholas is a practicing Physician.
• Legal Counsel to Bethpage School District ( 37 yrs.), Jericho School
District ( 25yrs.), Locust Valley School District ( 20yrs.), North Shore School District ( 12 yrs).
Retired- 1994
ACTIVITY RELATED TO EDUCATION IN BETHPAGE ( BeforeElection to Board in
2002)
• Citizens Budget Advisory Committee ( 3yrs.) ( All Standing Citizen Board Committee were
abolished in 2000 on initiative of prior Supt. Of Schools - ( Standing Citizen Board Committees
were restored with total Board support on Lou's request at Reorganization meeting of July 2004)
• 3 years School District Citizen's Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
• Diligent attendance at Special and Regular monthly
Board Meetings.
POSITIONS AS BOARD MEMBER
• Lou believes that providing Funds necessary to support an excellent Education for our children is a
Community obligation which voters in Bethpage have always honored; HOWEVER, this cannot ever justify
imprudent spending in Administrative costs or in other areas; nor can the over- budgeting of prior years
that increase large Surplus Fund accumulations be tolerated again. Surplus Funds at year's end which
exceed monies that can be retained by Law MUST be applied to reduce taxes for the following School Year.
Lou notes with approval that in formulating the 2005- 06 budget Central Administration & Board for the
first time in recent memory cut one costly administrative position, three teaching positions and one non-instructional
position without any anticipated effect on the quality of education. Innovative re- scheduling
aided this cut- back process. This type of cost consciousness in the future should be treated as standard
operating procedure.
•> EXPAND PARENTAL OPPORTUNITY to ask questions, obtain thorough answers and allow commentary
related to Educational Programs at all academic levels ( particularly at elementary levels) This is especially
important before introduction of programs with such far reaching impact; ( E. G.) " Whole Language,"
" Writing to Read" etc.
• Lou insists on Board compliance with New York State's " OPEN MEETING LAW", which forbids Public
Bodies from conducting the business of the public outside of the presence of the affected public, except
where legally defined confidential matters are involved that can adversely affect the rights and or
reputation of individuals, and of such matters that cannot be openly discussed without adversely affecting
the public interest.

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor,
On May 17th Bethpage taxpayers will be voting on the school budget
and deciding whether to re- elect Lou Orfan to the school Board or to replace
him with Hugh Walker.
I am personally endorsing Lou Orfan and asking you to vote for him
for the following reasons:
Lou ( with his 37 years of legal experience serving the district) brings a
unique viewpoint and balance to the Board. His insightful advice has often
helped the Board in its deliberations. Hugh is a teacher who would bring little to
the table that the Board does not already receive. There are presentations on
academics and teaching made at every meeting by our many excellent teachers
and administrative staff. In addition, Hugh is totally unfamiliar with Board and
district operations. Hugh has never served on the public budget committees, or
the building and grounds committee, nor has he regularly attended Board
meetings. In fact, even after he decided to run he did not attend the public
budget presentation held on May 10f .
Lou is a veteran of many negotiations and will serve us well during the
upcoming teacher negotiations while Hugh ( at best) would have a conflict of
interest during these negotiations since he is a teacher and would have to work
against them to serve the residents of the district.
During Lou's tenure on the Board, the district's academic performance
has continued to improve to the point where we now have the sixth highest
Regents graduation rate in Nassau County. This is due in large part to the
Board's dedication to academic excellence and its willingness to put resources to
where they will do the most good. Examples include, massive increases in AIS
services at the middle school, expansion of Special Ed inclusion classes to the
third and fourth grades, technology improvements at all levels, and the
inclusion of funding for all day Special Ed kindergarten in the proposed budget.
Lou has voted for all of these items.
Hugh's position paper states the following:
He will support the use of the Borella money to benefit the kids. The
Board ( with Lou voting yes) has already placed a proposition on the ballot
( please vote yes) to use 3.2 million of this money for capitol improvements to
benefit the children and is using the remaining one million for tax stabilization
which benefits the children by allowing us to pass budgets.
He will support sports and summer programs. The Board has included
both remedial and enrichment summer programs for the last two years and has
them in the proposed budget. Sports have been fully funded by the district with
extra teams added at the middle school in recent years. Lou has voted for all of
this.
Hugh says he will support all day Kindergarten. This has been rejected
by the voters twice in recent years. The Board again considered this option last
year and decided that the public would not support the expenditure at this time.
Hugh did not attend any of these meetings to express his support. Raising this
divisive issue again at this time can only distract the Board from the great
progress we are making in educating our students while controlling the budget
to the best of our ability.
In conclusion, I feel that Lou Orfan is a much better choice for the
taxpayers, residents and students of the Bethpage School District and I ask to
re- elect him on May 17 th
Donald B. Tichy
Bethpage School Board Trustee
Dear Editor,
Someone once said that in a democracy, you get the government you
deserve. This means if you don't vote on Tuesday, don't complain on
Wednesday. Here in Bethpage, as across Long Island, we have an
opportunity to make our voices heard. Once again we are asked to vote. It's
School Budget and School Board Election day again.
OK, I know you are thinking your vote doesn't count and has no real
impact on your life. Think again! If you're thinking you don't have kids in the
school, it doesn't matter to me. Think again!
This is the election that directly impacts the education your children
receive, your tax bill, and most of all, your home's value. Because so few
people vote, these elections are often literally decided by a few votes. In a
district with thousands of registered voters, this decision is made by just a few
hundred.
Voting is both a right and a privilege. It can also be inconvenient.
Sometimes you have to wait on a short line. Is that line any longer than the
one for coffee in the morning? Do you think it's worth 20 minutes of your life
to have such an impact on your life?
How and who spends the greater part of your property tax bill is important.
Keeping a careful eye on those matters. Don't think it does? Ask some of the
people in Roslyn if they wished they had paid closer attention.
Here in Bethpage, we are fortunate to have some hard working volunteers
who serve on our school board. We are equally fortunate to have dedicated
administration and staff who work hard to see our children are well educated
to meet the demands of a changing world. But they don't exist in a vacuum.
The funds to run this district come from our tax dollars. Take a look at your
property tax bill. Close to 2/ 3 of it goes to the school district.
Your vote on Tuesday, May 17th will determine who spends that money
and how it is spent. That, in turn impacts that tax bill, which in turn impacts the
quality of education the children of this district receive, which in turn imoacts

Town of Oyster Bay Councilwoman Mary McCaffery presented Eugene
Hutchinson, Ambassador, Consul General of Ireland, with a copy of a newly
released book, The IRISH FACE in AMERICA. Councilwoman McCaffery was
invited to be one of the representatives of the Irish in public service.
" It was an honor to be included in this wonderful tribute to Irish
Americans," said Councilwoman McCaffery. " The book includes Irish
Americans such as Pete Hamill, Mary Higgins Clark and Denis Leary who have
achieved fame in their careers; and many more whose dedication to their
chosen careers in civil service, the military, the arts, education have
contributed so much to the American culture, history and way of life."

Bethpage School Budget Information
On May 17, 2005, voters in tk
Bethpage School District will be
asked to support a proposed school
budget for the 2005- 06 school year
that represents a 6.81% spending
increase that is below the average
for Long Island ( 7.28%).
This year, the Board of Education
and the administrative team has
taken action to create significant
savings in several areas. These
savings include:
- A net reduction of 3.1 teaching
positions, one administrative
position and one custodial position -
a savings of approximately
$ 400,000 in staffing costs ( without a
reduction in class sizes for next year)
- Freezes on supply and
equipment purchases ( earlier than in
the past years)
- Transportation services will be

outsourced, producing a significant
savings in operating costs for
ensuing years, ( projected at more
than $ 3 million over 10 years)
- Installed energy- efficient roofs,
windows, doors, and automated
system controls for boilers to help
save on utility bills.
- Reduced conference
spending, limiting number of
conferences and number of people
attending while providing more in-house
staff development and
teacher mentor opportunities.
Additionally, the District will apply
$ 367,500 in proceeds from the sale
of Borella Field toward tax
stabilization, with additional
proceeds from the sale to be used
for this purpose in future years.
" We worked closely with Central
Administration, building principals,
curriculum department leaders and
other key staff members as well as
parents and the Citizens' Budget
Advisory Committee to develop a
responsible budget that is
educationally sound," said Board of
Education President Tom Frost.
" We as a Board understand the
economic challenges of living in this
region and we are committed to
operating a cost- efficient, program-effective
school district for all of our
residents."
While limiting and reducing
spending in several key areas, and
meeting state mandated increases
to employee and teacher retirement
obligations, the proposed budget
maintains ALL instructional and
extracurricular programs and
includes enhancements to
programs and services. Some
highlights include:
• New Math textbooks
• New " Advanced Placement
Environmental Science" course
• Special Education
enhancement ( Kindergarten)
• Inclusion expanded to Grades 9
& 10 English and Social Studies
classes
• Elementary Summer School
( Enrichment & Remediation)
• Summer Computer Camp
• Field trip funding ( expanded)
• Teacher Mentoring Program
and staff development
• Author Visit Program
• New computer lab at Bethpage
High School
• Additional Tl line for Internet
( current line has reached capacity)
• Driver Education Program
• Academic Intervention Services
( AIS) enhancements
• Extended classes for Math and
Science
• Continued implementation of
District- wide Technology Plan
• Enhanced security including
additional hours at all elementary
schools, additional outside security
lighting on buildings and fields, and
security camera interface with the
District computer network
" Our District has been proactive
in pursuing Payments- ln- Lieu- Of-
Taxes and soliciting legislative
grants from government officials to
increase the revenue stream.
Concurrently, we have carefully
restructured the proposed budget
for next year to reduce costs while
maintaining and enhancing
programs," said Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Richard Marsh. " As
State Education Department
standards and Federal mandates
under the President's " No Child Left
Behind" legislation takes effect, the
financial and academic challenges to
school districts become even
greater. We are successfully
meeting these challenges in
Bethpage, where our
comprehensive system of checks
and balances maximizes every tax
dollar, and our collaborative efforts
among faculty, parents, and
administration continue to help
ensure success for every student.
We have one of the lowest per pupil
expenditures in our area, yet our
students continue to score at or
near the top of the key performance
indicators."
This includes holding the 6th
highest Regents Diploma rate in
Nassau County, ranking 6th in the
County on the Grade 8 Math
Assessment, and ranking 9th in the
County on the Grade 8 English
Language Arts Assessment.
Additionally, passing rates on nearly
every elementary, middle school,
and high school standardized exam
are 90% or better.
Proposition # 2: Creation of a
Capital Fund
There is a second proposition on
the May 17th school ballot entitled
Proposition # 2, which proposes the
establishment of a Capital Fund for
$ 3.2 million in proceeds from the
sale of Borella Field. This Capital
Fund would be used for facilities
improvement projects to
supplement the 2000 Bond. Some
of these projects include:
• field restoration and bleacher
upgrades
• Auditorium renovations
• Restroom renovations
• Boiler upgrades
Proposition # 2 is independent of
Proposition # 1. The funding of
these proposed facilities
improvement projects would not
affect the proposed budget. The
Board is committed to using these
funds for the aforementioned capital
improvements.
In October 2004, Bethpage
voters approved the sale of Borella
Field to the Town of Oyster Bay for
$ 4.25 million. Since the Town used
land preservation funds to purchase
Borella Field, it must be maintained
as a recreational park. The Board of
Education has pledged to use the
remaining $ 1.05 million of these
proceeds toward tax stabilization
over the next several years
($ 367,500 in 2005- 06) while
proposing to use the remaining $ 3.2
million for the improvements,
dependent on the passage of
Proposition # 2.
" We urge all residents to carefully
review the budget brochure that has
been mailed home and contact the
District Offices with any questions
about either the proposed budget
or Proposition # 2," added Dr. Marsh.
" Most importantly, we want our
residents to make an informed
decision and exercise their right to
vote on May 17th."
A Message from the
Bethpage CouncilofPTA's
The Bethpage Council of Parent-
Teacher Associations ( PTAs)
unanimously endorses Proposition
# 1 - the Bethpage School District's
Proposed Budget for the 2005- 06
school year and Proposition # 2 - the
Creation of a Capital Fund.
The Council supports the
Proposed Budget because the
Board of Education has made a
concerted effort to limit spending
without sacrificing education. They
have found ways to save on staffing
costs without laying- off teachers or
reducing class sizes, listened to
parents and residents, and
responded with a very reasonable
budget that maintains all programs
and provides enhancements to the
curriculum. This includes funding for
extra security personnel and
equipment, demonstrating to
parents that providing a safe
environment for children is still a top
priority.
The Council also endorses
Proposition # 2 to create a Capital
Fund that would use $ 3.2 million in
proceeds from the sale of Borella
Field for school building
improvement projects, including
boiler, restroom, auditorium, and
field upgrades. These are important
school facilities that should be
improved or repaired. It is important
to note that the $ 3.2 million is
existing revenue and does not
create new taxes. The Board will use
the remaining $ 1.05 million of the
Borella Field proceeds toward
reducing taxes for the next several
years. Our community approved the
sale of Borella Field in October for
the purpose of improving our
schools and stabilizing taxes.
Proposition # 2 accomplishes this at
no cost to residents.
We urge all residents to vote
" Yes" to the Proposed School
Budget ( Proposition # 1) and vote
" Yes" on Proposition # 2 on
Tuesday, May 17th at Bethpage
High School ( 7 am - 9 pm). Please
remember, a non- vote is the same
as a no vote.

' Statement of assumptions made In projecting a contingent budget for the 2005- 2006 school year, should the proposed budget be de­feated.
Although the school districts has certain latitude In regard to the reductions made, It Is likely that cuts would necessarily be made In
the following areas: ( 1) Instructional staff elimination and therefore Increases In class size; ( 2) Instructional & Non- Instructional equipment
and various contractual expenses; ( 3) certain supplies for student use; ( 4) Security and other support staff services; ( 5) Non- mandatory
educational support and extra- curricular programs; ( 6) Instructional programs that could Include the elimination of summer school enrich­ment,
educational field trips and associated transportation; ( 7) and any other expenditure reductions as deemed necessary by the Board
of Education to comply with legal requirements. Contingent budget calculated at lesser of 120% of CPI or 4% over prior years budget, per
the NYS guidelines. A contingent budget would include funding of increases in items such as construction bond debt service, necessary
special education services and for an enrollment increase of approximately 18 students. A contingent budget would include an estimated
4.15% increase In the district's tax levy for 2005- 06 school year.
ADMINISTRATIVE CAP PERCENT: CAPPED AT LESSER OF: 1) The percent that the Administrative Component had comprised In the vear
prior, exclusive of Capital Component; or ( 2) The percent that the Administrative Component had comprised I
budget, exclusive of Capital Component.

Bethpage JFK Students Win
L. I. Pine Barrens Award to
' Save the Earth'
Bethpage JFK Middle School Students, Pin Gao and Kevin
Miller were the recipients of the Pine Barrens awards, given to
only seven students out of 4,500 participants from schools
throughout Long Island. Pictured: Assistant Principal, Kerri
McCarthy, Students, Pin Gao, Kevin Miller and Art Teacher,
Karen Miller.
The Long Island Pine Barrens
Society and the Keyspan
Foundation sponsored an island-wide
" Save the Earth" poster, ad
and essay contest in April in
recognition of the 35th annual
" Earth Day" celebration on April 22.
The contest, which inspired the
participation of more than 4,500
students at the primary and
secondary levels, raises awareness
of the significance of the Long
Island Pine Barrens and its species,
ecosystems, landscapes and
resources. Of the thousands of
entries received, only seven
students won awards, two of whom
were eighth grade students at
Bethpage JFK Middle School.
Those students are: Kevin Miller and
Pin Gao.
Pin Gao was one of two students
island wide who took the first place
award. Kevin Miller was one of three
students who took the third place
award. Both Pin and Kevin were
invited, along with their families, to a
luncheon award ceremony held at
the Pine Barren Society
headquarters in South Haven Park
in April. All seven winners received
certificates and young potted
evergreen trees.
Pin, who additionally won a
$ 1,000 educational grant for taking
first place, said her project was
based on the Amazon Rain Forest
and deforestation. Entitled, " The
Last Forest," her full color ad, which
includes the slogan, " To avoid this
day, start making actions to stop
habitat destruction!" depicts a sad
scene where a parent and child are
viewing the " last rain forest," a pitiful
piece of land with few animals and
plant life. Pin said she created her ad
to help raise awareness on the
importance of preserving the rain
forest.
" In my artwork, I showed how the
Amazon Rain Forest became a
tourist site," said Pin, who describes
the plight of the rain forest in her ad.
" Only a small strip has been saved in
a glass case and that's the last forest
in the world."
Kevin was the recipient of a $ 250
educational grant for his unique
artwork. His piece, done in black and
white, was created to raise
awareness of an environmental
problem that focuses on the Alaskan
Wilderness oil excavation. The
slogan reads: " Stop the Dig! Save a
bear... show you care." " The ad
shows two polar bears in Alaska,"
said Kevin. " It's a mother and cub
who are wondering where they are
going to live."
According to Art Teacher at JFK
Middle School, Karen Miller, all
students of the seventh and eighth
grade accelerated art classes
received assignments to participate
in the " Save the Earth" contest. All
artwork at the Middle School level,
which was in the form of an ad, was
submitted to the judges at the Pine
Barrens Society.
" Students had a little over a week
to complete the assignment," said
Ms. Miller. ' These are very talented
kids." The winning entries can be
viewed on the Long Island Pine
Barrens Society website at

Bethpage HS Students Bring History to Life
Bethpage High School students from Teacher Alan Weber's
social science research class were finalists in the " Theodore
Roosevelt Public Speaking" contest, held at Sagamore Hill in
April. Student, Vera Fichtelberg took first place at the contest
out of 35 contestants from all over Long Island. Pictured: Jeff
Katz, James Potter, Vinod Kasturi, Vera Fichtelberg, Vera
Warkow and Teacher Alan Weber.
Emulating the dynamic and
charismatic persons of Theodore
Roosevelt, the 26th president of the
United States is no small feat. He
was an extraordinary individual with
tremendous zeal for life who
changed the course of the lives of
many American people just by being
who he was: a Nobel prize winner,
naval historian, physical culturalist,
taxidermist, ornithologist,
conservationist, big game hunter,
editor, critic, orator, colonel of the
cavalry, and the list goes on.
Five students in Alan Weber's
social science research class at
Bethpage High School successfully
portrayed the life of the former
present when they competed
recently in the " Theodore Roosevelt
Public Speaking Contest," a
competition comprised of
competitors from many high schools
throughout Long Island.
Envisioning President Roosevelt
as he was in the early years of 20th
century was only the beginning of
the task. Prior to entering the
contest, held at historic Sagamore
Hill in April, the students, Vera
Fichtelberg, Jeff Katz, James Potter,
Vinod Kasturi and Rebecca Warkow
researched information about the
former president and then created
individualized speeches for the
contest. The students prepared
speeches about the president's life,
and along with 35 other students
from various Long Island high
schools, delivered the speeches to
an audience of judges, teachers,
students and community members.
Three BHS students, Jeff Katz,
James Potter and Vera Fichtelberg
were finalists in the contest, with
Vera taking first place. Vera not only
won two trophy busts of Theodore
Roosevelt, she also came away with
a $ 1,000 cash prize and $ 200
savings bond for her outstanding
achievement.
According to Mr. Weber, a social
studies teacher at Bethpage High
School, the students in the social
science research class,
encompassing grades nine through
12, compete in a variety of contests
during the school year, including the
" Voice of Democracy," " National
Holocaust Essay Contest," and
" Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Contest."
' This is the first time we've ever
won this contest in the six or seven
years we've been competing," said
Mr. Weber. " It's quite an honor."
Vera, a ninth grade student
involved in the Drama Club, Winter
Track, Students Put an End to
Cancer ( SPEC) and the Select
Chorus said she prepared for the
contest by researching books at the
Bethpage and Hofstra Libraries.
After she wrote her speech, she
memorized it in one day. Of her
contest experience, she said she
enjoyed seeing the home in which
President Roosevelt once lived.
She also shared a secret technique
to her success in the public
speaking contest: ' This was the first
time I ever did a speech in front of a
lot of people," said Vera. " I
discovered a technique that helped
me to not be nervous - 1 took off my
glasses so I didn't see the
audience," she added, with a smile
that lit up her face.

Letters To The Editor
( Continued from page 8)
how this district is perceived and the property value of your home.
If you are starting to think that taking 20 minutes of your life to vote is a
smart idea, you would be right. Go, Vote. You'll get the government you
deserve.
Gina McGovern
Dear Gina,
I couldn't agree more. The days of being a Monday morning quarterback or
in many cases complainer have to end. The community we live in is only as
strong as the residents who live there. I hope everyone makes voting in this -
and all elections a priority. Voting is a privilege and most importantly, it is an
obligation.
- Linda
Dear Linda,
Words are inadequate to express our thanks and appreciation for your
comments in the " Editor's Notebook" concerning that poor little rich girl
Traitor, Jane Fonda who gave comfort and succor to our enemy during a time
of war. She should have been tried for high treason.
Protesting our government's decision is every citizen's right, in a free
society. This is certainly not the way to express your opinion. Provided in our
constitution are channels available for people to let their representatives
know their opinions. Our dissent with our government should follow these
channels and most certainly stay within our borders.
Thank goodness people like you step forward to remind everyone of the
sacrifices our veterans have made in all our countries conflicts.
At a time when the cream of our youth are being killed and maimed, to
bring freedom to the people of Iraq and insure our future, it is unthinkable that
this harlot has the nerve to publish an autobiography, detailing her trip to our
enemy, North Vietnam. Those monies and efforts could have better been
spent to help our POWs, who were treated horribly in violation of the Geneva
Convention and all norms of humanity. Why didn't she protest this?
Linda, your continuing and stalwart efforts, in supporting all veterans are
magnificent, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sincerely,
Herbert J. Lewis

Long Island Volunteer
Hall of Fame
Permanent home to be established at Bethpage State Park
Commemorative benches will be installed to honor inductees
Working closely with New York State Parks Commissioner, Bemadette
Castro, the Long Island Volunteer Hall of Fame ( now in its fourth year) will now
have a permanent home at Bethpage State Park ( host of the U. S. Open 2002
and 2009) in Farmingdale, New York. To commemorate inductees, benches
with inscribed plaques will be installed at the Carlyle on the Green clubhouse
grounds and golf course tees on the Blue, Green and Yellow courses. A
press conference announcing this historic event will be the added unveiling
of a sample bench will be held at the Carlyle on the Green, Bethpage State
Park in Farmingdale, Tuesday, May 17, at 10: 00 a. m.
Growing out the United Nations International Year of the Volunteers 2001,
the Long Island Volunteer Hall of Fame celebrates the humanitarian spirit by
inducting volunteer founders of nonprofit organizations whose vision,
dedication and drive addressed a community need and began a legacy of
service to improve the quality of life for Long Islanders. A special award for
Lifetime Achievement in Volunteerism will also be conveyed to a unique
individual who has made a significant impact on the lives of others through a
lifetime commitment of active citizenship, community service, and
philanthropy. An independent panel of judges, including community leaders
in the nonprofit, business, academia, media, and public service sectors,
selects the inductees.
To coincide with National Volunteer Week, 2005 nomination brochures
were first made available at the April 18 Junior League of Long Island
Volunteer Merit Awards Luncheon at the Garden City Hotel. Nomination
forms due July 31, can now be obtained by contacting the Long Island
Volunteer Center at ( 516) 564- 5482 or by accessing the website
www. livolunteerhalloffame. org. The Long Island Volunteer Hall of Fame
induction ceremony and reception to honor 2005 inductees will be held on
February 1, 2006 at the newly renovated Carlyle on the Green, Bethpage
State Park in Farmingdale.
