Stewart Avenue Traffic Light Approved
The Bethpage Tribune is
happy to report that after an
extensive study, many requests
and several years, that a traffic
light will be installed on Stewart
Avenue and Beverly Road along
with various roadway
improvements, which will be
made on Stewart Avenue and
Broadway. The request for this
light dates back to 1995 and after-several
denials we are happy to
say that in a traffic study, which
was released in August of 2005,
the Nassau County Department
of Public Works recommended
that certain improvements be
made to these roadways. The
following summary is taken
directly from the 2005 Traffic
Safety Study.
Executive Summary
Over the years, the Nassau County Department of Public Works has
conducted studies at specific intersections along Stewart Ave. and Broadway
in Bethpage in response to specific requests or complaints. Recent tragic
collisions along Stewart Ave. have resulted in increased publicity and
renewed public concerns over the safety of Stewart Ave.
As a result, the Nassau County Department of Public Works has
conducted a comprehensive traffic study to review traffic conditions in the
area and make recommendations for improvement. The Bethpage corridor
study covered the area along Stewart Avenue between Plainedge Drive and
South Oyster Bay Road as well as the area along Broadway between Central
Ave. and Cherry Ave./ Plainview Road. The purpose of this study was to
review existing conditions, identify any possible deficiencies and to propose
modifications that could enhance overall safety in the area.
The study includes a review of existing conditions, a survey of the
condition of the existing traffic controls, the collection of critical traffic related
data, the technical analysis of all available data using standard traffic
engineering principles, conclusions and specific recommendations based on
all of the above.
Stewart Avenue from Boundary Road, north to South Oyster Bay Road is
a four lane road that generally runs north- south. The length of the roadway is
approximately 3.7 miles. Development along this road consists of both
residential homes and commercial establishments.
The pavement on Stewart Avenue is asphalt and is in good condition
along the entire section of this study. In general, Stewart Avenue consists of
two lanes in each direction with a center turning lane or double yellow
centerline and parking on both sides of the road.
In general, Broadway is a two lane road that runs north- south with a
painted yellow centerline separating traffic. The length of the roadway to be
reviewed is approximately 1.3 miles. Development along this road consists of
both residential homes and commercial establishments.
A total of 17 Nassau County signalized intersections were included in the
study ( 13 along Stewart Ave. and 4 along Broadway). Numerous non-signalized
locations were analyzed. Pavement markings, signage, roadway
lighting, mass transit information, intersection sight distance and sidewalk
conditions were reviewed.
All signal timing data was collected and analyzed. Extensive manual
turning movement counts were conducted. Vehicle speed data was
collected manually using typical " undercover" data collection techniques as
well as automatic, bulk speed data collection using our mobile speed
awareness device. Accident records were obtained from the Nassau County
Police Department.
All of the above data was reviewed in detail and analyzed using standard
traffic engineering principles. Specific analysis that was conducted included
signal timing analysis, traffic signal warrant studies, traffic calming alternatives,
Highway Capacity analysis and a detailed collision analysis.
Recommendations, including: the improvement of various signs and
signals throughout the area; the installation of speed awareness devices; arid
the installation of a new traffic signal at Stewart Avenue and Beverly/ Meade,
are summarized at the end of the report.
After a comprehensive study u* the traffic conditions along Stewart
Avenue and Broadway, in Bethpage, a number of recommendations have
been made for improvements to the traffic infrastructure in the area. While
these recommendations will enhance the overall safety of the road, the study
did not reveal any unusually abnormal or otherwise " dangerous" conditions
along either roadway. Overall, conditions in the area are not unlike those
along many other County roads.
Recommendations
1. Rebuild the traffic signals at Stewart Avenue and Adams Gate, Stewart
Avenue and Central Avenue and Broadway at Central Avenue to improve the
location ( and visibility) of traffic signal indications.
2. Refurbish existing pavement markings along Stewart Avenue from
Hempstead Tpk. to Central Avenue. In addition, add edge lines in this same
area.
3. Refurbish pavement markings along Broadway.
4. Remove the existing passing zone ( dashed yellow centerline) along
Broadway and replace it with a full barrier ( double yellow line) to prohibit
passing.
5. Forward street light outages to the Town of Oyster Bay for review.
6. Remove trees on Stewart Avenue at Arthur Avenue, on Stewart
Avenue at Helena Ave. and on Broadway at Coronet Crescent West to
improve sight distance.
7. Request parking restrictions at various locations along Stewart Avenue
and along Broadway to improve sight distance.
8. Trim trees obstructing or partially obstructing traffic controls along
Stewart Avenue and Broadway.
9. Improve various County signs as noted in Table 7.
10. The County should request that the Town consider installing larger
print street name signs along Stewart Avenue to create a better visibility of
the street names and consider lowering the height of the Balsam Place sign
because it is not visible to drivers. The County will also notify the Town of
Oyster Bay that the Balfour Drive street sign is missing and needs to be
replaced.
11. The County will request that the Town of Oyster Bay consider
installing additional speed limit signs along Stewart Avenue between
Hempstead Tpk. and Boundary Ave. In addition, we will request that they also
consider installing additional speed limit signing along Stewart Ave. north of
this area.
12. Issue demand notices for all noted sidewalk defects.
13. Improve all traffic signals along Stewart Avenue to provide 12 inch
faces along Stewart Avenue. In addition, all vehicular and pedestrian
indications should be replaced with LED indications.
14. Increase yellow and all red clearances at several signalized
intersections.
15. Install a new traffic signal on Stewart Avenue at Beverly Road/ Meade
Avenue.
16. Install speed awareness devices on Stewart Avenue at the following
three locations: South of Central Avenue, North of the LIRR tracks, and
South of Cherry Avenue.
17. Request that the Nassau County Police Department continue
enforcement of traffic regulations in this area, especially the speed limit.
18. Modify existing traffic signal timing for the traffic signals on Broadway at
Powell Avenue and Benkert Street to better coordinate the flow of traffic
through these intersections.
19. Install horizontal pavement markings ( MPH markings) at various
locations along Stewart Avenue.
The Tribune has been told that
the necessary funds to complete
this project are in place and that
construction is expected to begin
within the next 45 days. In
January speed detection devices
are slated to be installed.
Although we all should be quite
pleased with the improvements
that will be made along Stewart
Avenue and Broadway, sadly

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.
On Tuesday, October 18 at 2: 00
P. M. Music Historian Frank P.
Carbonara will present a unique
program entitled " What Happens in
Tosca Revisited" as part of the
library's on- going
CONVERSATIONS WITH MUSIC
series. Puccini was inspired by
Sarah Bernhardt's performance in
the riveting drama La Tosca by
Sardou to translate the story into
grand opera. This program will
closely examine the second part of
the intense masterpiece which is set
in Napoleonic times. Passion,
political intrigue, betrayal and
harrowing interrogation combine
with mastery of orchestration and
tremendous melodic presentation.
This is an opportunity to come to
grips with the symbolism and
structure that comprise Tosca.

Assessor Harvey Levinson ( seated) is joined by the
representatives of the Nassau County Police Department and
Police Auxiliary to support his proposal that would allow
Auxiliary Police volunteers to benefit from the same 10%
property tax exemption that is currently granted to volunteer
firefighters and ambulance workers. Assessor Levinson's
proposal is currently awaiting support and approval by State
legislators. Pictured ( standing from left to right) are: Auxiliary
Police Lieutenant and Syosset resident Kevin Meller, serving
Woodbury, Oyster Bay and East Norwich; Auxiliary Police
Captain and Lynbrook resident Diane Laukaitis, serving East
Rockaway; Auxiliary Police Inspector and Farmingdale resident
JoAnn Edling, serving Farmingdale; Auxiliary Police Inspector
and Garden City resident Neal Rosenblatt, serving West
Hempstead, Franklin Square, Lakeview and Garden City South;
Nassau County Police Inspector Peter Matuza; and Nassau
County Police Officer Lori Levering.
They serve as the " eyes and
ears" of the Police Department and
patrol in marked vehicles to help
make our neighborhoods safe. Yet,
according to Assessor Harvey
Levinson, the nearly 300
community- minded men and women
who volunteer to serve as members
of the Nassau County Auxiliary
Police are often overlooked when
we take the time to recognize and
reward the efforts of other volunteer
services with pension credits and
property tax exemptions.
" Since 9/ 11, the resources of
local governments have been
strained due to the necessity of
providing an increased police
presence to combat and curtail
potential terrorist threats," stated
Assessor Levinson. " To meet the
challenges at hand, our uniformed
Auxiliary Police are providing an
invaluable service of not only
providing a deterring presence
throughout the county, but allows
our paid police officers the flexibility
that they need to focus manpower
on other emergency situations that
may arise on a daily basis."
In recognition of the outstanding
contributions and sacrifices of the
Auxiliary Police force, Assessor
Levinson is calling on all legislators
to act immediately and provide them
with the same 10% property tax
exemption credit that is granted to
volunteer firefighters and
ambufance workers.
" I believe that this recognition is
long overdue," stated Assessor
Levinson. " By granting Auxiliary
Police the same property tax
exemption benefits of our volunteer
firefighters and ambulance workers,
you are not only correcting an
oversight, but will be helping the
recruitment efforts of an integral
component of our national and local
security efforts."
Established in 1951 under the
provisions of the Civil Defense Act,
the Auxiliary Police are given a 22-
session basic training course at the
Nassau County Police Academy. As
part of their training, volunteers
receive instruction on the New York
State Penal Law, hazardous
materials awareness, basic First
Aid/ CPR, Peace Officer powers, and
critical incident response.
" Residents who would like to
learn more about the Auxiliary Police
and playing a vital role in making their
communities a safer place to live
should call Auxiliary Police
headquarters at ( 516) 573- 7521,"
! Assessor Levinson concluded.

Town of Oyster Bay to Host
Hurricane Seminars
Summer Intern
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor
John Venditto announced that the
Town will host hurricane seminars to
be conducted by former Town
Councilman and avocational
meteorologist Leonard B. Symons.
They will be held on Monday,
September 26 at the Massapequa
West End Firehouse on Hicksville
Road ( Route 107) and Brooklyn
Avenue and on Wednesday,
September 28 at the East Norwich
Volunteer Fire Company No. 1
Headquarters, located at 900 Oyster
Bay Road ( Route 106). Both
seminars will begin at 7: 00 p. m.
' The devastating effects of
Hurricane Katrina have only
underscored the importance of
being prepared locally in the event
of a significant storm," Supervisor
Venditto said. " As was made clear in
New Orleans just last month, it only
takes one storm to devastate a
community. We all need to know
what to do in case a hurricane is
headed for our area.
' The purpose of the seminar is to
inform residents on how to prepare
for a hurricane, when to evacuate,
what to do when a storm hits and
how to best respond during the
aftermath of a hurricane or other
severe weather event such as a
nor'easter," Supervisor Venditto
continued. " Mr. Symons, who has
trained at the National Hurricane
Center in Miami, Florida, will
moderate the seminar, which will
also feature several well- respected
hurricane experts to discuss
important emergency preparedness
procedures."
The Supervisor added that many
Long Island residents have become
complacent because there . hasn't
been a major hurricane in this area
for many years. The horrifying
effects of Katrina, which many
people have called the nation's
deadliest natural disaster since the
1960 San Francisco earthquake,
has changed many residents'
outlook on hurricane preparedness.
" Hurricanes are one of the most
damaging, and potentially deadly,
weather events, with nor'easters
right behind them," Supervisor
Venditto stated. " Both types of
storms can have devastating impacts
on the economy, but, more
important, the human toll can be
very high when people aren't
prepared. While Long Island has not
had a significant hurricane or
nor'easter in many years, we should
never be complacent. This seminar
is a great way to learn from the
experts what you need to know to
ensure that you and your family will
be prepared should a hurricane or
nor'easter find its way to Long
Island."

at the unveiling ceremonies of a new Girl Scout Patch, which
took place in Roosevelt Field. The new patch is called the
Brownfields Buster Patch. The creation of this patch will help
bring awareness to Long Island residents that our island is
reaching its build out point and that the development of
brownfields offers opportunities to reuse and recycle land.

If You've Got A Green Thumb
The Chamber's Got A Planter
With Your Name On It!
The Bethpage Chamber of Commerce is asking local businesses,
organizations and families to participate in their adopt a planter
program. Many other communities all across Long Island have started
programs like this as a way to get business owners, organizations and
local families involved in their Chamber and also as a way to insure
that their town's appearance is maintained. What the Bethpage
Chamber of Commerce is proposing is that individual businesses,
organizations and or families are entitled to adopt a specific planter
along Broadway. When you have made the commitment to that planter
your name will appear on it as the GREEN THUMB Sponsor. The
Chamber will then allow you to select whatever plants you wish from
our list of available plants ( at no cost to the sponsor) and it is then the
sponsor's obligation to maintain their planter. By maintaining the
Chamber means obviously watering the planter as well as the
trimming and clean up of the boxes. This program will start in March
of 2006 and in August of 2006 the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce
will present one lucky sponsor with the Bethpage Chamber of
Commerce GREEN THUMB Award as well as a $ 200 prize!
Although it seems very early on or perhaps late in the season to_ be
starting this program, the Bethpage Chamber of Commerce wants to
make sure that every planter has a sponsor so that everyone in
Bethpage will be treated to a spring and summer blooming with color
next yea. rPleasefdl out the application below to sign up to adopt your
planter today. The effort that you put into your planter is effort that
you put into your town. So come on and give your GREEN THUMB a
workout!!
GREEN THUMB ADOPT A PLANTER PROGRAM
YES, I want to adopt a Chamber of Commerce planter!

The Long Island Fair
The 163rd Long Island Fair, a
spectacular and most accurate
recreation of a county fair of the 19th
century, will return to Old Bethpage
Village Restoration on October 7-
11, 2005, announced Nassau
County Executive Thomas R.
Suozzi.
Children of all ages will find old-fashioned
fun at the Fair. At " Farmer
for a Day" youngsters can visit an
interactive farm and help the 19th
century farmer gather crops for
market. Children will also enjoy pony
rides and the amazing Flying Horses
Carousel, a replica of a 19th century
folk- art carousel. There will be a
menagerie and camel rides. Fun
filled contests on the fairgrounds
include corn husking and children's
potato sack races. Adults can test
their skill and strength at two- person
crosscut sawing in friendly
competition against other pairs for
ribbons and prizes.
The Fair's livestock barn will
display cattle, sheep, goats, horses,
rabbits and more. The livestock
demonstration ring will feature the
beautiful horse drawn carriages of
the Paumanok Driving Club and the
miniature horses of the Keystone
Miniature Club.
The Fair will also present a variety
of musicians, dancers, jugglers,
mimes and other artists. A giant
entertainment tent will be home for a
" Punch and Judy" puppet show, a
magician and musical performances.
Returning to the tent this year will be
the Fair's resident homegrown
" phrenologist" Professor Henry C. P.
Clark, who will read the bumps on
your head.
The Fair also hosts the end- of-season
playoff matches of the Old
Time Base Ball Leagues at Old
Bethpage Village Restoration. Old
Time Base Ball recreates vintage
baseball as it was played in the latter
half of the 1800s. Nine teams will
compete in authentic uniforms,
playing under the banners of actual
Long Island clubs from that era.
Fairgoers will be amazed, as these
skilled athletes field without gloves.
Included with admission to the Fair,
the games will bring fair visitors back
to the way " base ball" used to be --
on real grass and played for the love
of the game.
t Every year several hundred
volunteers help set up and assist at
the exhibits, booths, sheds and
tents at the Fair. To find out how you
can be part of the 163- year tradition
of the Long Island Fair by
volunteering, exhibiting, or
demonstrating a traditional craft,
please call the Fair Manager at ( 516)
572- 8406, or apply online at
www. longislandfair. org.
Old Bethpage Village
Restoration is located on Round
Swamp Road in Old Bethpage, one
mile south of the Long Island
Expressway Exit # 48. Operating
hours are 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. For more

make way for the beautiful fall with its
wonderful itinerary.
The schedule for the society

September 28 - Architect Patricia
Trifaro O'Neill will tell us about her
winning design for the 9/ 11
memorial at Farmingdale State
University.

Albertson - 933- 1795.
September Program - The
Central Park Historical Society is
proud to introduce you to Architect
Patricia Trifaro O'Neill. Patricia is
prepared to share with you her
anxieties and emotions she felt on
September 11, 2001 as she waited
for word that her husband, Thomas,
was safe as she watched the events
of that terrible morning knowing Tom
was in tower # 2 at the World Trade
Center. Tom was safe, but the
impact of all the events reaches
deep into ones being. The horror of
that day and the impact it had on all
our lives has become a part of who
we are today.
Pat took the opportunity to take
all her feelings together with her
talents and incorporated them into
her winning design for the 9/ 11
Memorial which is to be built on the
campus of Farmingdale State
University. This site was chosen as it
borders both Nassau and Suffolk
County and it will honor those who
gave their lives, acknowledge the
many volunteers, a place to reflect
and never forget the impact of 9/ 11.
Pat grew up in Farmingdale,
graduated Farmingdale High School
and is proud her design was chosen
for the memorial to be built in her
home town. We are proud of her
too.
The second phase of this
memorial project will be the
renovation of Farmingdale State
University's historic Cutler Hall into a
resource center. A place for all who
are interested in seeking information
- Central
about 9/ 11 and its aftermath.
Join us, bring a friend all are
invited to this timely program.
Refreshments will be served. When:
September 28, 2005 at 7: 30 pm.
Where: Bethpage Library, Powell
Avenue, Bethpage.
It is great hearing from you
- We thank Anne Merin for taking the
time to put together her
recollections of " Shopping in
Bethpage."
My first recollection of shopping
here reverts back to 1925 when this
area was called Central Park. My
mother's cousin brought me here for
cider at the cider mill. I assume that
was Benkert's Cider Mill, located on
the east side of Stewart Avenue
south of the rail road tracks.
Ten years later I returned to visit
another relative, Joseph Katsur. He
had the farm next to the Looney
property, located on the former
Grumman property, on the present
South Oyster Bay Road. My
purpose was to collect corn stalks to
decorate Freeport High School for
our Fall Dance that we named ' The
Waffle Wiggle." At that time we
never paid for anything, and that
included the WPA Band we hired for
the occasion. Those were
Depression Days.
It was in 1942 that I really began
my shopping in Bethpage when I
made Bethpage my home town and I
commuted on the Long Island Rail
Road. Each day, when I arrived
home in Bethpage, I would head
south to the post office to pick up
my mail and pass Cava's Drug Store,
Procida's Barber Shop and Al
Bogner's Sweet Shop located on
the corner of Broadway and Baldwin
Place. I crossed that street to get to
the post office on the south side of
Baldwin Place.
South of the post office was
Russo's Department Store, ( Felice)
Beauty Parlor, Felice's Tailor Shop
and the Rectory of St. Martin of
Tours Parish where Father Hartigan
lived and where we held church
affairs. That building later became
the Hempstead Bank and is now
occupied by the St. Vincent De Paul
Society.
I patronized another beauty shop
across from the railroad station
owned by Ruth Maxey. Next to the
beauty shop was the library with Mrs.
Fredericks as librarian.
On the west side of Broadway at
the corner of Central Park Avenue
lived Harry Stolz, our insurance
broker. His home later became the
second convent for St. Martin's
parish. The first convent was located
across the street in the
Sengstacken's home.
On the south eastern part of
Broadway I shopped at
Klingelhoeffe's Meat Market.
Traffic Study Findings
lives have been lost and hearts
have been broken in the interim
It is our hope that these
improvements will help to save
lives and will make for a much
safer community.
( Continued from page 1)
If you have any questions
about this project please contact
Legislator Edward Mangano at
571- 6217 or the Nassau County
Department of Public Works at
571- 9600.
Historical Society Update
Margaret and Ray Asher's Hardware
Store ( now the Bethpage Tool and
Hardware Store) Geffken's
Delicatessen. The building next to
the railroad tracks was Hayes Inn or
the former Colonial Inn.
Northeast of the railroad tracks
was Kessler's Glass Factory replaced
now by CVS Pharmacy. The present
Doyle's Insurance Agency, was the
location of one of the many taverns
in our town. I understand Charlotte
Miller owned it. Fortsch Meat Market
and Grocery Store was next. On the
same side of the street, set back,
was Gagliardo's Dress Factory.
Across the street there were
several stores: Triple A Grocery
Store owned by Jimmy Marrone and
a Butcher Shop owned by Frank
Marrone. Next was John Maggi's
Shore Repair and then the Ralston
Store. On the corner was Maggi's
tavern ( now Who Ville) frequented
by the soldiers stationed nearby at a
military base located north of Cherry
Avenue and west of the Seaford
Oyster Bay Expressway.
On the very next block, crossing
over Benkert Street, lived Dr. Louis
Luttge, our only town Physician, no
dentist, no banking facility and no
movie house at that time. However,
Grumman Aircraft had moved here
from Farmingdale in 1936 and that
became our main industry.
Godfrey's Farm Supply, on the
corner of Central Park Avenue and
Stewart Avenue on the south side,
became a grocery store and another
meat market. Across the street on
Central Park Avenue was another
tavern, called Deubels, where one
could get lobster tails for a nickel a
piece late on Friday night ( that
information was passed on to Anne
from her husband Sam).
I do recall three restaurants, the
historic Beau Sejour, Anselmi's on
north Broadway ( north of the middle
school today), the Five Comers on
the Hempstead Turnpike and
Stewart Avenue.
Coming from the incorporated
village of Freeport, shopping here
was a challenge, however, I really
enjoyed being part of this fine
community for 63 years!
Thank you Anne, for your very
interesting tour through Bethpage,
Our Town, of yesteryear.
I received the following
correspondence from Rose Greco
Shackleton: " I love reading about
Bethpage way back when. I do
believe Mildred Gifford Jaisle is
correct, that is me in the
kindergarten picture. I was born,
raised, married and raised three
daughters and still live in Bethpage.
My husband became one of the first
mailmen ( letter carriers) when home
delivery began, which I believe, was
in 1949?
Reading your column brings back
such great memories. Ernie
Finamore tells it all so well. I do also
remember Mildred Gifford was one
talented tap dancer. Thanks for the
memories."
We thank you Rose for taking the
time to share your memories with us.
We do remember your husband,
Bob, as our very own " Merry Mail
Man."
Ground Breaking for the
Francis X. Pendl Nassau
County Firefighters Museum
and Education Center -
Members of our society were proud
to attend the official Ground
Breaking Ceremony for the Francis
X. Pendl Nassau County Firefighters
Museum and Education Center
which will be located adjacent to the
Cradle of Aviation Museum in
Uniondale.
Francis " Frank" X. Pendl, along
with senior members of the County's
Volunteer Fire Service, knew the
importance of acting now if they
wanted to preserve the tradition and
history of the County's Volunteer
Fire Service. At the same time, Frank
valued education. The education
center will provide the opportunity to
teach the general public the
importance of fire safety and the
respect of fire. A mission Frank
actively participated in his 50 plus
years as an active member and Chief
of the Bethpage Fire Department, as
Assistant Chief Instructor at the Fire
Service Academy in Old Bethpage,
employed as a Nassau County Fire
Marshal, and known as " Fireman
Frank" to the many school children
he taught the basics of fire safety
and to stop, drop and roll.
Sadly, Frank passed away on
April 1, 2004, as preparations were
being made to name the museum in
I his honor. Now, on August 9, 2005,
volunteer firefighters, elected
officials, contributors to the
museum, family and friends
gathered on a beautiful summer
evening to make the museum and
education center official by the
breaking of the ground. Mary Jane,
Frank's wife of over 50 years, did the
honor of leading the assembly with
the salute to the flag and assisted in
the traditional breaking of the
ground. A well deserved tribute and
honor to our deceased member,
Frank Pendl.
September Days - Labor
Day, September 5, a day we
celebrate and honor the value of a
good days work and the dignity of
the worker. Grumman, at one time,
was the largest employer on Long
Island. What made Grumman a
special place to work was the value
that was put on the worker. During
the years of Grumman's growth and
development, Grumman remained
an open shop. Management
encouraged a good working
relationship between the engineer
and the shop mechanic. A
relationship which held a respect for
the talents and expertise of each
worker. At the same time, an effort
was made to fit the job to the man
where success is shaped rather than
failure. This practiced philosophy
made Grumman a unique industrial
enterprise and a great place to work.
Labor Day is a good time to think
about the following:
• Remember to serve those who
you expect to serve you.
• Never consider a person
inferior, at the same time, recognize
limitation of others and support them
so they can experience success.
• Lead by action and example.
• Be humble when speaking
about your accomplishments.
• Teach and be taught.
• Attack unfairness.
• Believe employees must
prosper if you are to prosper.
• Seek the truth.
• Forgive honest mistakes.
• Pray for guidance on decisions
that will affect others.
9/ 11 - A day to remember all who
have been touched by the events of
that day. A time to pray for our great
country and all our men and women
who continue to fight for the dignity
and freedom which we, as
Americans, hold dear. The Town of
Oyster Bay will be dedicating a
memorial on Saturday, September
10th at 11 a. m., at Tobay Beach, in
memory of all who perished on
9/ 11/ 2001 from our Town of Oyster
Bay. The location was chosen as
there is a direct line of vision to
where the Twin Towers once stood.
First Day of Autumn,
September 22, a time to celebrate

Imparting Some Wisdom on
Youngsters through CALM
Mike Reich, a member of the Bethpage High School Class of 2003,
returned to Central Boulevard Elementary School last spring to
teach the drums to third graders through the CALM program.
Students display tribal African masks they created through the
CALM program.
Last year, the Bethpage
School District implemented an
after- school program called
CALM ( Culture, Art, Language,
and Music) that gave young
students a glimpse of life outside
of their home town; all away
around the globe.
Funded by the District's
educational partner,
Northport/ Grumman, the CALM
program brought Bethpage High
School Student Civic Association
members to elementary schools
to teach third graders about
different languages, art, and
music of cultures from around
the world. Throughout last year,
the students explored places such
as Italy, Spain, Africa, Eastern
Europe and the Far East. Under
the direction of Student Civic
Association advisor Jackie Jill-
Rito, the students volunteered
their time to teach third graders
language, taste Jbods, and listen
to music from these, and many
other regions, in small group
settings.
The program even brought
volunteers from outside the
school, such as alumnus Mike
Reich, a former Bethpage
Student Civic member and a
Class of 2003 graduate. Mike
returned to Central Boulevard
Elementary School this past June
to teach youngsters how to play
the bongo drums. The children
also created and colored masks
to replicate those worn by
African tribes and wore them as
they learned to play.
" It's nice to be able to return,
give something back to the
schools. The CALM program
teaches kids about different ways
of life, and just as important, they
learn a skill, " said Mike, who
teaches the drums professionally
as well.
