Upcoming Afternoon Programs
The Bethpage Public Library
presents a varied and interesting
roster of afternoon programs on a
continuing basis at the library. Mark
the following dates on your calendar
and plan to attend. Admission is free
and everyone is welcome to attend.
On Thursday, April 7 at 2: 00 P. M.
music historian Frank P. Carbonara
will be at the library with a fascinating
program entitled " What Happens in
Tosca." Puccini's opera Tosca is set
in Napoleonic times and includes
political overtones. It adapts a
French play by Sardou to achieve a
taut, brilliant, blood and thunder
melodrama in which Puccini's
melodic gift and sense of theater are
at their peak. The opera will be
examined act by act from its
Wagnerian motifs to its symbolism
and details of the musical and
dramatic structure.
Dr. Michael D'lnnocenzo,
Professor of History at Hofstra will be
at the library on Tuesday, April 12 at
2: 00 P. M. with " A Portrait of
Abraham Lincoln." Lincoln is widely
regarded as one of the truly great
men of all time. He is credited with
saving the Union and immortalized
by his visions as set forth in his
Emancipation Proclamation and his
Gettysburg Address. The program
will address the questions of
whether after 15p years he
deserves his rating as our greatest
president, how effective was he as a
war leader, a Reconstruction peace
maker, a dealer with race issues and
a champion of democracy. Did his
personal life affect his public
conduct and how different would
history have been if Booth's bullet
had missed its mark. Abe Lincoln will
be reexamined as man and myth.
With visual aids.
Then save Thursday, April 14 at
2: 00 P. M. with a program entitled
" Passport to Discover Peru"
presented by Shirley Blanc
Romaine, Actress & TV personality
as part of the library's PASSPORTS
travel series. Discover this land of
contrasts, great beauty, long history
and ethnic diversity within its large
cities, Spanish colonial towns, the
snow- capped Andes and coastal
deserts.

Bethpage Library Features Book
Reviewer Fran Cohen
To celebrate National Library
Week the Bethpage public Library is
pleased to present as part of its
BOOKBEAT programming on
Friday, April 15 at 2: 00 P. M., Fran
Cohen, Bcok Reviewer, Lecturer,
TV Personality with a fascinating and
informative program entitled
" Spotlight on Prize- Winning Author
William Styron."
William Styron ( 1925-) is a leading
American author of his generation.
His thought- provoking work is epic
in sweep and depth. Like his chief
mentor, William Faulkner, he has
grappled with some of the most
harrowing events and unresolved
moral questions of our time. His
fiction combines an interest in
history with an examination of the
fundamental needs of a healthy
society. Winning numerous awards,
including the Pulitzer Prize for The
Confessions of Nat Turner and the
American Book Award for Sophie's
Choice, Styron has generated both
praise and controversy over the past
50 years. Darkness Visible is a
memorable, personal account of his
depression. Styron dramatically
depicts the mind and heart of
contemporary society and the
program will offer a fascinating,
insightful exploration of his life and
work.
Fran Cohen has been
highlighted many times in Ms
Magazine, Newsday, on Talk Radio
and in Long Island Woman. Her well-researched
programs have brought
books to life in many cultural
institutions throughout the N. Y.
Metropolitan Area, North America
and Mexico as well.

demonstrate academic or
extracurricular skills, but also do a
little something extra to help make
the world a better place," Supervisor
Venditto said. " We felt it was
important to recognize our young
residents who involve themselves in
voluntary community or civic
activities on their own individual
initiative whether it be helping out a
handicapped or elderly neighbor,
volunteering at a local hospital, or
working with children with special
needs or disabilities, these fine
youngsters now have the
opportunity to be recognized at a
special ceremony being planned for
the spring."
Anyone who wishes to submit a
nomination should fill out a
nominating form and submit it to
Kids Helping Kids by Kids Way, Inc.,

in writing is sent to James J.
Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes, Town

' This will ensure that tax bills are

Bethpage Schools: Education For Success!
( Continued from Page 1)
Level of 85% or better rising, most
notably on the U. S. History exam,
where the mastery rate rose from
60% to 76%.
In District elementary schools,
results on the Grade 4 Math
Assessment remained impressive,
with 92% of students meeting or
exceeding the standard. On the
Grade 4 ELA Assessment, the
percentage dipped one point, with
81% meeting or exceeding the
standard compared to 82% from the
previous year. In the first year of the
new Grade 4 Science Assessment,
97% of Bethpage students met or
exceeded the standard, with 67%
scoring in the Mastery Level.
" As State Education Department
standards and Federal mandates
under the President's No Child Left
Behind legislation takes effect, the
financial burden placed on school
districts becomes greater and
compliance becomes more
challenging," said Bethpage
Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Richard S. Marsh. " In Bethpage, our
comprehensive system of checks
and balances helps insure that every
tax dollar is maximized. We always
strive to provide our students with
the best available educational
resources, and it is reassuring to
know that our scores are competitive
with other districts with larger per
pupil expenditures. Our
collaborative efforts among faculty,
parents, and administration continue
to help ensure success for every
student."

The Bethpage Board of
Education and administration
recently took a tour of JFK Middle
School's state- of- the- art ScanTEK
Technology Lab. The lab,
purchased with funding from the
2000 facilities improvement bond,
provides students with the
opportunity to gain valuable
experience with equipment that is
used in a variety of industries today.
Inside the ScanTEK lab,
students rotate through a series of
modules ( for which they are
introduced over the course of
seventh and eighth grades) that
allow them to create different
projects related to physical science
and technology. Students learn
about motion, electricity,
magnetism, sound, energy, light
Bethpage School Officials Tour ScanTEK 2005
and heat. They use equipment
associated with alternative energy,
flight simulation, aerodynamics,
computer- operated mills, electrical
circuitry, robotics and automation,
hydraulics, industrial control, and
laser and fiber optics. Each student
works with a partner to complete a
series of experiments in each field.
During the tour, which was held
prior to the monthly public Board of
Education meeting, students
conducted demonstrations of the
equipment. They also answered
questions by the Board and
administration members related to
the equipment they were using, the
projects they were creating, and
how this would help them determine
if they wanted to pursue a career in a
related field.

Country at Campagne
Train Comes Rolling
Through Bethpage
Entering the gym of Charles
Campagne Elementary School to
the tunes of " Glory, Glory Halleluja,"
the entire school gathered together
for a patriotic moment on March 10,
joining hundreds of other schools
throughout the United States in
celebration of " The National Anthem
Project." The National Anthem
Project is a national campaign led by
educators of the National
Association for Music Education
whose goals are to reacquaint all
Americans with their country's
heritage.
Led by fifth grade student, Olivia
Bologna, who held the flag while
students recited the Pledge of
Allegiance, students, faculty and
Principal Angelita Cintado sang the
lyrics to The Star Spangled Banner
and then marched proudly back to
their classrooms. The elementary
school event was coordinated
through the efforts of Music
Teacher, Brian V. O'Connor who
said the students began practicing
for the event the week before. Mr.
O'Connor pointed out that music
teachers around the country were
asked to help renew national
awareness of American traditions
through singing the country's
national anthem.
" According to a recent Harris poll,
only one third of all Americans know
the national anthem and 70 percent
said they learned it in the
classroom," Mr. O'Connor said. " The
significance of this event is to teach
children about patriotism by learning
patriotic songs - wewant to keep
patriotic tradition alive."
Principal Cintado said that the
teachers in grades kindergarten
through two are teaching about the
significance of the flag and the
national an+ hem by using a book
entitled The Star Spangled Banner,
by Peter Spier. The book touches
on an important part of history and
shows the significance of the song
The Star Spangled Banner.
" It's important to teach children
respect and to be patriotic citizens,"
Mrs. Cintado said. ' They should
know what the symbol of the flag
means and that we have many
freedoms, including the freedom to
pledge and to be patriotic. It's also a
reminder of those who are fighting
for us now."
The National Association for
Music Education appointed First
Lady Laura Bush as the chairperson
for the National Anthem Project
campaign. The goals of the
campaign are to spotlight the
important role that music education
plays in giving all Americans a
patriotic voice. Additional
information about The National
Anthem Project can be found by
visiting the website,
www. thenationalanthemproject. org.
The Bethpage Model Train Show recently came rolling into
Bethpage High School. Co- sponsored by the Northrop
Grumman Model Railroad Society and the Bethpage High
School PTSA, the show showcases operating model railroad
displays and attracts children of all ages, as well as those who
are young at heart. All proceeds are used for scholarships
awarded to graduating Bethpage High School seniors.
Bethpage School's to Participate in
Island Harvest's
2005 Coin Harvest
Bethpage, New York - March 15,
2005 - Charles Campagne
Elementary School and Bethpage
High School, both located in
Bethpage, NY will participate in the
2005 Annual Coin Harvest to benefit
Island Harvest, Long Island's Source
Authority on Food Rescue. Charles
Campagne Elementary School and
Bethpage High School are one of
more than 60 schools across Long
Island that will participate in the 7th
annual hunger awareness coin drive
which supports Island Harvest's food
collection, education and
distribution programs.
Schools elect a two- week period
between February and May for their
campaign drives. Students who
participate receive brown paper
bags, the universal symbol of the
school lunch, in which to collect
coins from family and friends. In
addition to posters, fliers and 5-
gallon collection drums, Island
Harvest provides schools with a
nutrition fact label and other
educational materials that can be
incorporated into a hunger
awareness curriculum. Island
Harvest's Coin Harvest Speakers
Bureau may also visit the school to
speak to the students about hunger
on Long Island, nutrition and the
importance of helping others in
need. At the close of the campaign,
Island Harvest will tally the donations
and reward the students of the top
three schools who have made the
largest contribution.
' The brown paper bags remind
us that not everyone may be able to
fill a lunch bag every day," said Randi
Shubin Dresner, Executive Director
of Island Harvest. ' The Coin Harvest
campaign not only enables Island
Harvest to. reach children and adults
who are at risk of hunger, but it
provides students with valuable
lessons about fundraising, nutrition
and hunger awareness.
Island Harvest is able to operate
the Coin Harvest at a minimal cost
thanks to the generous support of
corporate sponsors, which include
Canon, Harrison Leifer DiMarco, the
Herald Community Newspapers, NY
Mets, Sunrise Check Cashing,
KeySpan Foundation, UPS and the
Grand Sponsor Arrow Electronics.
Schools wishing to participate in
this year's Coin Harvest may contact
Dee Doherty at ( 516) 294- 8528.
