Bethpage Student Results Praised
By Board Of Regents
Education Commissioner Mills Commends " Entire
District Community" for Raising the Academic Bar
Representing the Board of
Regents, New York State Education
Commissioner Richard Mills sent a
congratulatory letter to the
Bethpage School District indicating
that Bethpage was being recognized
as one of the 47 " High
Performing/ Gap Closing" districts
statewide.
" This recognition reflects both
the talent and commitment of our
teachers, administrators, support
staff, and parents working collaboratively
to provide the best education
for our students," commented
Superintendent of Schools Dr.
Richard Marsh. " We have made
great strides in recent years, with
the support of our Board of
Education, and this recognition
from the State Education
Department validates the significant
growth in student achievement. We
must continue to provide an academically
rigorous program to help
ensure the success of our graduates
in a highly competitive world."
Bethpage was one of just 24
Long Island school districts recognized
by Commissioner Mills for
this achievement. His letter to Dr.
Marsh reads as follows:
Dr. Marsh attributed much of the
District's success to: intensive professional
development; seamless
( year- round) Academic Intervention
Services held before, during, after-school
and on weekends for students
in need of additional help; a
revision of curriculum to instill
greater rigor and further align with
the State's higher learning standards;
and acquisition of new
instructional materials, including
textbooks, that are also closely
aligned to these standards.
Additionally, the District has
enhanced its communication with
parents to help them better understand
the State's higher learning
expectations. The creation of
District- hosted Parent Academies,
which began last year, is one
example of this.
The District has experienced
steady improvement on nearly all of
the standardized exams, including
Regents exams. This includes a
climb in the percentage of students
mastering the exams. The percentage
of students graduating with
Regents diplomas has also risen
considerably over the last several
years, with a 28% climb since
1999.
Dear Dr. Marsh:
On behalf of the Board of Regents and the State Education Department, I write
to congratulate you on your district being recognized as one of New York State's 47
" high performing/ gap closing" districts. Your district has been so designated
because it met all applicable State standards for English language arts and math
during the 2003- 2004 school year and also made Adequate Yearly Progress ( AYPj
in English language arts and mathematics, science and graduation rate during both
the 2002- 2003 and 2003- 2004 school years. You and your entire district community
are to be commended for leading New York forward to accomplish our dual goals of
increasing student achievement while closing the gap in student performance.
Only districts that had a minimum of 30 continuously enrolled students in at-least
two racial ethnic groups or in one of the low- income, limited English proficient,
or student with disabilities accountability groups were eligible for recognition.
Statewide, there were 435 districts that met these eligibility criteria. Only 11
percent of eligible districts were so recognized.
Your entire community has earned this recognition. We encourage you to celebrate
vour achievement and to continue implementing strategies to support high
performance and to close the gap. A public announcement regarding your achievement
was issued on June 29. Should your district continue to meet the eligibility
requirements for recognition based on 2004- 2005 school year results, you and
another representative from your district will be invited during the 2005- 2006
school vcar to Albany to participate in a symposium regarding your district's success.
We at the Department look forward to both learning from your achievement and
supporting your continuing efforts towards even greater accomplishments.
Sincerely,
Richard P. Mills

entitled " A Portrait of Royal Power
and Enlightenment Thought in Early
Modern France." A slide lecture
presented by Dr. Sally Charnow,
Professor of History at Hofstra as
part of the library's on- going
PORTRAITS series. Louis XIV ruled
France with an iron fist and
represents the quintessence of
absolute monarchy but he also
brought about the administrative
machinery that made France a
modern state. The mid 18th Century
saw the rise of the Enlightenment,
an intellectual movement that shook
the foundations of society. Thinkers
such as Rousseau, Voltaire and
Diderot will be examined.
On Monday, September 26 at
2: 00 P. M. Art Historian Donald
Dwyer will present a unique program
entitled " The Story of Ancient Greek
Vase Painting." Greek painted
pottery encapsulates the history of
Greek art, and for the most part, is
the only record we have of Greek
painting. The oldest vases boasted
abstract designs but toward 800
B. C. living forms appeared. By 700
B. C. because of increased trade,
pottery began to exhibit influences
from Egypt and the Near East. The
program will continue through the
6th Century B. C. and on into the
Classical age presenting an exciting
evolution of Greek Art.

Annual Carnival Fair Opening Ceremony at the Bethpage LIRR

School's Open - Drive Carefully
Every September, youngsters
return to the classroom after a
summer of sun and fun. In our area
that means more than one- million
more commuters during peak travel
periods, commuters who are young.
and perhaps not as careful as they
should be. This heightens the
responsibility of adult drivers in order
to ensure safety. Sixty years ago,
AAA recognized the need for
increased alertness on the part of
drivers during this time of year and •
launched the first " School's Open -
Drive Carefully" campaign. This
program has helped to prevent
injuries and deaths among children
of elementary school age.
This year, as in the past, AAA will
help to raise awareness throughout
the state by distributing some 6,000
colorful posters, reminding motorists
to be extra careful, which will be
displayed at major intersections,
business and shopping districts and
school crossings. The posters will
be supplemented by nearly 22,000
of the familiar " School's Open"
bumper stickers on public, private
and commercial vehicles. In addition,
thousands of AAA- sponsored
School Safety Patrol youngsters will
be stationed at school crossings to
assist police and civilian guards.
Mayors, school officials, business
leaders, parent/ teacher associations
and thousands of individual
motorists will participate in this year's
campaign, exercising a strong spirit
of civic commitment. A wide range of
state officials have endorsed the
program including the Governor, the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
the Commissioner of Education and
the Superintendent of Police.
" School's Open - Drive Carefully"
serves to alert motorists to the
always important duty of driving with
an eye toward protecting young
lives.

devastating storm and extending
sympathy to all the individuals who
are suffering its destructive effects,"
said University President Jerry
Hultin. " One step we can take is
helping students affected by the
hurricane continue their education."
Students whose education has
been disrupted by the hurricane
should contact Polytechnic
University's Office of Undergraduate
Admissions at 718- 260- 3589,
jwexler@ poly. edu. or visit
www. poly. edu.
Students will be admitted as
" visiting students" for the fall 2005
semester.
Polytechnic will work with
students and their home university
to design a program of study to
facilitate returning with minimum
disruption of academic progress.

Life After Ground Zero. This moving
book discussion takes place in the

fellow firefighters. His day- to- day
duties as a hometown volunteer
firefighter changed on 9/ 11, and
Jonathan gives the reader a
personal account of the trauma he
felt in his new book.
According to book retailer
Amazon. com, Firehouse Down is a
compelling journey of his life as a
volunteer firefighter... the author has
an affecting a vivid style of writing,
and he tells a powerful story... with
honesty and humility."
Arts Council Executive Director
Mamie Katzman said, " those
attending the brunch will have a rare
opportunity to talk to the author and
purchase a signed copy of
Firehouse Down."

When you enter Bethpage
High School this September, you
may not recognize all of the
students. Some are new and
some have graduated. You may
not remember some of the
teachers and other staff members
that you see. Some have retired
from last year, and some have
just recently been hired. But one
face that you will certainly know
is one that smiles back at you
from the Bethpage High School
Attendance Office.
If you have ever set foot in
Bethpage High School, chances
are you have seen her, met her,
or heard her. You might have
been one of the lucky) ones to be
greeted by her smile or cheered
up by her jokes. If you are one of
the lucky ones, then you know
Mary Morante.
Mary Morante, an energetic,
upbeat, Bethpage native, has
been working in the Bethpage
School district for the past 40
years and still does not stop
working to take a lunch or coffee
break. Arriving promptly at 7am
every morning, she is the
cheerful voice that you hear on
the other end of the phone when
you call the high school to report
that your child will be absent.
When you come in to sign your
child out for an early release, she
is the friendly face that welcomes
you. Usually ready with a quick
joke or a piece of chocolate
candy, Mary Morante is the
woman that makes you smile
when you walk into Bethpage
High School. She is the
embodiment of pure Golden
Eagle school spirit. Decorating
her office according to the
holiday and season, she
celebrates life everyday.
Mary is not only an efficient
worker, but also touches people
with her warmth and caring
ways. She might pretend that she
is going to show off her kick
boxing skills, but when it comes
down to it, she is more likely to
give you a hug or an
encouraging pat on the back.
Keeping the kids in line in her
own unique way, she is a breath
of fresh air. She is an inspiration
to all of us who long to have jobs
for which we hold a passion.
Maty's passion shines through in
the relationships that she has
made with faculty, staff and
students over the years.
Mary Morante is a
tremendous asset to the Bethpage
School District and one of the
most dedicated patrons in the
town. Outstaying her children
and her grandchildren in BHS,
she is the foundation that holds
BHS together. No matter what
changes take place at the high
school, Mary is the same smiling
force that she always has been.
On behalf of the students,
faculty, and families of the
Bethpage community, I would
like to applaud Mary Morante
for her refreshing and
unwavering dedication and
compassion all these years. We
love void.

^ Another War Story
by Bud Rosch, Past Cmdr of the Butehom Bros. Post 4987 VFW Bethpage
This story is retrieved from an old
Technical Sergeant Bert Weiner,
who was with the CBI area during
WWII ( China, Burma, India). Bert will
tell you his story in his own words.
However I will tell you that his group
sailed from California to India and the
trip took in Australia, New Zealand
and then forty five days to India on
its final journey. Why did it take that
long? The ship had to " zig zag" all
over the ocean to evade Japanese
submarines. Our old soldier Bert will
give you a history of what went on in
that period of time. The story even
involves the president of the United
States of that time period. Bert is an
artist and as you read the story you
will understand why I am pointing
this out. Another interesting point
was the fact that the Australian
people on their arrival were cheering
them out of their windows and on
the street. Here is Bert's story and I
hope you will find this very
interesting.
pinpointed for all to see. From time
to time visiting V. I. P.' s and even
visiting legislators from the United
States would get the " lowdown"
from Boatner or Stilwell himself. The
map took me weeks to prepare. I
guess it was my good fortune I was
selected. I probably would have
been a Private First Class bedpan
specialist. As the story goes you will
hear more about the map.
As the campaign continued we
followed the troops slowly as the
Ledo Road took shape. I was now
forward headquarters where I was to
meet Capt. Won- Loy Chan, a
Chinese- American language expert
and a great person. Along with him I
met Toici Lchimura ( Tom) and
Yasuhara Koiki ( Yas) Japanese-
Americans whose families were held
in detention camps. It was almost
impossible to get information from
Japanese prisoners of war. Many of
them committed suicide rather than
giving any information. However as
Bert Weiner saluting Gen. Olds.
I, Bert Weiner, arrived in Burma as
a private in the 48th Evacuation
Hospital, a hospital unit that never
became operational. Before long I
transferred to G2 ( Military
Intelligence) under the Commander
of Brig. General H. I. Boatner,
Combat Area Command NCAC
( Northern Combat Area Command).
While awaiting assignment I spent
my time painting seven food ( 7 ft.)
nudes to decorate the enlisted
men's Basha's ( housing quarters
made of bamboo, straw and mud).
I have no idea whether the
General was impressed with my art
work or not, but before I knew it I was
transferred to the NCAC, which he
headed. Major Boyes also was
transferred from our hospital unit
under the Command of Joseph W.
Stilwell to head the G2 unit
intelligence staff. I learned that he
was a surgeon whose hobby was
maps. There were other men who
came from the 48th Evacuation
Hospital Unit who also became part
of the team. It is sort of ironic about
the army isn't it? General Stilwell had
to fashion a staff of his own. My first
assignment was to design a colored
topographical map, which was put
on display in the combat room. The
purpose of it was to display the
disposition of Japanese troops.
Daily reports coming in were
the Japanese began retreating more
and more prisoners talked. As these
reports came in we plotted the
progress daily.
One of the books I came across
in doing research for this project was
Barbara Tuchman's " Stilwell and the
American Experience in China." In
my reading her account of the war I
learned that General Boatner was
ordered to go to Washington to brief
the President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt on the China Burma India
Campaign. Quote from Tuchman's
book ' Tell me about Burma, General
Boatner!" Having provided himself
with a topographical map in full color
ranging from the dark red of the
Himalayas to the pale green of the
Irriwaddy Plains, Boatner spread it
out on the floor next to the
president and then was down on his
hands and knees pointing out
places as he spoke. There was two
or three times PA Watson,
Roosevelt's military aide came in to
have the president keep up his
planned schedule. President
Roosevelt shrugged him off stating
" I'm having the time of my life!"
Now if I did not know what
happened until I got home and
learned that my father and mother
received a form letter from General
Boatner dated Feb. 17th, 1944 that
spoke about the conditions in
Pictured left to right: Famous Chinese General Chiang
Shek, Madame Kai- Shek and U. S. Famous General Brig.
General Joseph Stilwell.
Kai-
Burma. On the back of the letter was
a hand written letter and said that he
was not in Washington officially and
did not want that at this time
mentioned. Gen. Boatner then said
that the President was so impressed
with the map, that he asked the
General if he could keep it and of
course the general complied with
the request.
That is not the end of the story
said Bert Weiner! I recently decided
to visit Hofstra College Library,
where I came across a book entitled
" Burma, the Untold Story" which was
written by my former superior officer
Won- Loy Chan in which he listed the
" G2" staff that he had formed and
there was my name listed. I was very
excited and immediately decided to
try to contact Capt. Won- Loy Chan a
person I had not seen in over 60
years . My wife suggested calling
Presidio Press, the publisher of
Chan's book in California . At first
they refused to divulge Chan's
whereabouts or phone number. I
pleaded with them and they called
Chan's home to find if he would
accept a call from me. Chan said he
would be pleased to hear from me.
After receiving his telephone
number I immediately called him and
we had a great chat. I learned that he
retired from the Army as a Full
Colonel and then spent twenty six
years working for the CIA. He is now
eighty two ( 82) years old and half
blind. I don't think we will ever have a
chance to meet again, but imagine I
last saw him in Burma 60 years ago.
Writers note: There was a part
also of the story where a B29
needed to land as it was an
emergency. The only airport was a

July 4th Somewhere in India
" Story Teller" Bert Weiner who
depicts left to right a Chinese
and an Indian Kachins ( bearer
small strip for small aircraft. It even
had to have some breakers made of
piles of dirt to help the planes not be
wind sheared. This monster of the
times in those days ( B29 was the
largest plane of WWII). The pilot
somehow got it down on that small
strip. Everybody wanted to come to
see it and the Japanese felt it was a
good time to damage personnel and
a warplane; they bombed the field
and our Bert ran in one direction and
a native he was with in another
direction of which he said was really
the more logical of the two. The
native was killed and Bert was glad
he did not choose that direction to
run.
There were allied Chinese
soldiers there but did not want to
fight as they saw their officers as
personnel to watch over them.
When the famous Colonel Merrill
came and his famous band of
" Merrill's Marauders" hit the
Japanese hard the Chinese troops

were embarrassed and then fought
well.
In all probability this story will
mean much to some readers who
were possibly there in this time of
this struggle. Maybe we will hear
from them as often we do with other
stories.
As for the Ledo Road, this road
was one of the great engineering
feats of World War II, carried war
supplies from India to China. The
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers along
with thousands of civilian laborers
completed the task. It began in Ledo
in Assam province of India, leading
thru jungles, over mountains and
rivers to Mytkyinain in Burma where it
joined up with the old Burma Road.
The road covered 1030 miles and
crossed 700 bridges. The cost was
approximately $ 37 million dollars.
The road and the help of plans flying
over the hump ( the Himalayas) they
were now able to move thousands
of tons and equipment.
