PUBLIC AVAILABILITY SESSION
TO ADDRESS OFFSITE GROUNDWATER
Navy and Northrop Grumman Host Public Meeting at Community Center on June 16
The United States Navy and the
Northrop Grumman Corporation
( NGC), in cooperation with the New
York State Department of
Environmental Conservation
( NYSDEC), will be holding a Public
Availability Session on June 16,
2005, to provide updated
information related to the Navy's and
NGC's implementation of various
remedy components to address
groundwater contamination in the
area. The affected area is roughly
bounded by the NWIRP Bethpage
to the north, Wantagh Avenue to
the west, Seaford- Oyster Bay
Parkway to the east, and between
the Hempstead Turnpike and
Southern State Parkway to the
south.
The groundwater contamination
is relatively deep, generally 150 to
500 feet below ground surface. As
such, this contamination does not
present a threat to area residents. In
addition, the Navy and Northrop
Grumman are continuing to work
with the NYSDEC, County and State
Departments of Health ( DOH), and
local water districts to address the
deep groundwater contamination.
This availability session will utilize
posters to convey appropriate
information. The session is informal
and you can attend at your
convenience anytime between the
hours of 5: 00 p. m. and 9: 00 p. m. It
should take 15 to 30 minutes to see
all of the posters.
The Availability Session will be
held at the Bethpage Community
Center, 103 Grumman Road West,
Bethpage. A map has been
included for your convenience.
The following will L? present to
answer your questions:
• United States Department of
Navy
• Northrop Grumman Corporation
• New York State DEC
• New York State DOH
• Town of Oyster Bay
The local water authorities have
been notified of this session and
may send a representative. The local
drinking water is tested regularly and
meets or exceeds all applicable
drinking water standards. Your water
is safe to drink. However, if you are
concerned with the quality of your
water you should contact the
appropriate water authority that
serves your area and/ or the Nassau
County Department of Health.
The Navy and Northrop Grumman
have been implementing various
actions that have served to
remediate contaminated
groundwater or otherwise ensure
the continued protection of public
health from groundwater
contamination. These activities
include the following:
• A groundwater pump and treat
system constructed at the
southern/ southwestern boundary of
Northrop Grumman property. This
system has been operating
successfully since the late 1990s.
• Installation of groundwater
monitoring wells located between
Hempstead Turnpike and the
Southern State Parkway to ensure
adequate notification of potential
impacts to water districts. These
wells were installed in the early
2000' s.
• Funding for treatment systems
constructed at local water district well
fields. Three systems associated
with the Bethpage Water District
were constructed in the 1990s.
Additional treatment systems are
likely to be required in the future.
• Construction and future
operation of a groundwater
extraction and treatment system
located at the GM- 38 Area. This
system is intended to address an
area with higher concentrations of
volatile organic contamination in the
underlying aquifer than other
surrounding areas.
The focus of this availability
session will be on actions taken by
the Navy and Northrop Grumman to
address groundwater
contamination. Other issues such as
soil and groundwater contamination
at the Bethpage Community Park or
potential reuse scenarios for the
former Navy property, although
important to the community, will not
be topics at this session. These
issues will be the subjects of
separate community workshops or
meetings to be held in the near
future.

Nassau County Ordered to Pay
Bethpage School District
$ 454,000
On May 216, 2005, Justice
Stephen A. Bucaria of the State
Supreme Court in Mineola, New
York ordered that Nassau County
pay the Bethpage School District
$ 454,628.20.
On January 13, 2005, the
Bethpage School District
commenced an action against
Nassau County and Goya Foods,
Inc. challenging the County's
granting of credits to Goya to be
used as offsets against Goya's
school tax " PILOT" payments. Goya
is required to make Payments- ln-
Lieu- Of- Taxes (" PILOT payments")
to the School District pursuant to an
agreement with the Nassau County
Industrial Development Agency
which owns the land Goya occupies.
Beginning in 1999, Goya
commenced a series of tax certiorari
proceedings challenging the
County's assessment of the
property and the amount of its
PILOT payments. Without notifying
the School District, The County and
Goya entered into a settlement
agreement in 2004 which reduced
the assessment and provided for
Goya to receive a refund of its prior
overpayments. Despite the fact that
the County's Administrative Code
provides that such refunds are to be
a County charge, the settlement
agreement provided for Goya to
receive its refund in the form of a
$ 454,628.20 credit against its future
school tax PILOT payments
effectively shifting the financial
burden of the refund to the School
District. Because of the credit, the
School District faced a shortfall in its
budget.
In granting the School District's
request for a preliminary injunction
and ordering the County to remit to
the School District the full amount of
Goya's school tax PILOT payment
without reduction for the credit,
Justice Bucaria stated that it was the
intention of the Court " to correct an
inherently unfair and inequitable
policy decision, made by the
County, to protect its own
exchequer at the expense of the
District, and done so in a manner
that the District did not discover it
until it was too late for the District to
protect itself and its students and
constituents."
Superintendent of Schools, Dr.
Richard Marsh, noted that " the
Court's ruling means that the District
has won the first round in
determining that Nassau County
should hold the District harmless in
this situation, and to pay the
$ 454,628.20 directly to the School
District. However, this decision may
very well be appealed to the
Appellate Court. Either way, since
the School District is not responsible
for conducting tax assessments, or
insuring the accuracy thereof, we
should prevail."
Thomas Frost, the President of
the School Board added that " the
Board felt it was like David going up
against Goliath, but we needed to
protect the taxpayers and the
education of our children. Our hope
now is that the County will not
appeal this case, since the use of
additional District and County
monies could be better utilized for
other purposes rather than
additional litigation.
The Bethpage School District
was represented by Stanley A.
Camhi, Esq. of Jaspan Schlesinger
Hoffman LLP of Garden City, New
York.

Barbecue Safety Tips
With spring here and summer
around the corner, back yard
barbecuing is a great way to prepare
your food. Many of us will be
gathering with friends and family and
serving grilled foods
Picnics and barbecues are
wonderful ways to celebrate spring
and summer holidays. For safe
outdoor cooking, remember to keep
the following in mind:
- It's important to read all
instructions before using the grill,
and note safe, operation and
handling instructions.
- Cleaning the grill thoroughly
before and after use will avoid
grease buildup that can cause a fire.
- Choose a site away from fences,
plants, sheds or anything else that
would catch fire.
- Use all grills outdoors. Never grill
inside a house, garage or on
wooden porches.
- Never leave cooking
unattended.
- With gas grills, make sure the
gas cylinder is always stored outside
and away from your house. Make
sure the valves are turned off when
you are not using them.
- Check grill hoses for cracking,
brittleness, holes and leaks.
- For charcoal grills, only use a
limited amount of starter fluid
designed for those grills. Be sure to
soak the coals with water before you
put them in the trash.
To help you and your family have
a safe and enjoyable summer of
cookouts and barbecues, I hope
you will keep in mind these safety
tips when using gas of charcoal
grills.
Fair Provides Free Health
Services to Senior Citizens
Hempstead Town Supervisor
Kate Murray has announced that the
town is hosting its annual Health and
Wellness Fair for senior residents on
Thursday, June 16 from 10 a. m. to 2
p. m. at Lido Beach Town Park.
' The health and well being of our
senior residents is an important
priority in Hempstead Town
government. The Health and
Wellness Fair, which addresses
many of the health needs of our
seniors, is the most comprehensive
and proactive senior citizen health
service fair on Lona Island."
" The Town of Hempstead's
Senior Citizen Health and Wellness
Fair offers a myriad of services
including free blood glucose and
glaucoma screenings as well as
health related information all at one
convenient location," said
Councilwoman Angie Cullin.
The Health and Wellness Fair is
sponsored by the Town of
Hempstead in cooperation with
South Nassau Communities
Hospital, Franklin Hospital Medical
Center and Nassau University
Medical Center. Among the
participating vendors will be
representatives from the Visiting
Nurse Association of Long Island,
Inc., Cornell Cooperative Extension,
New York Chiropractic College,
Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer
Hotline & Support Program, United
Adult Ministries and Long Island
Alzheimer's Foundation.
Participating agencies will provide
important information on services
available to seniors. Among the free
services provided at the fair are
blood pressure, glaucoma, hearing,
chiropractic, podiatry and blood
glucose screenings.
" In addition, guest lecturers are
scheduled to give presentations on
a variety of important topics during
the fair," added Murray. " Seniors
may register for the town's Vial of
Life Program, a program that
includes a health care proxy and
emergency health care information."
" I urge all town seniors to join us
at Lido Beach on June 16 for this
worthwhile event," concluded
Councilwoman Cullin.
Department of Senior
Enrichment personnel will assist
seniors with registration procedures
when they arrive at the Health Fair.
Free transportation is available from
all of the town's sixteen senior
centers. There is ample free parking
at Lido Beach Town Park for those
participants who prefer to drive. It is
suggested that seniors bring their

Spring Clean Up
New York State Department of
Transportation ( DOT) Acting
Regional Director, Subi Chakraborti
announced that the DOT's annual
" spring clean- up" effort of Long
Island's 5,300 lane miles of state
roadways and 546 bridges is now
underway.
Noting that DOT maintenance
crews will first address repair and
maintenance items that affect
motorist safety, Chakraborti said,
" Recently, our maintenance crews
put in a comprehensive effort
removing litter and debris as part of
our Keep Long Island Highways
Clean Week which is aimed at
• encouraging drivers to stop littering.
Now they will be out in full force to
repair any winter damage and start
sprucing up our state roadways. For
the safety of both Long Island
motorists and the DOT maintenance
crews, we urge all drivers to remain
alert, slow down, and keep a safe
distance between their vehicles and
any traffic barriers, trucks,
equipment, and workers as they
perform repairs, litter clean- up, weed
control, and mowing. Just like all of
us, highway workers want to return
home safely after each day's work."
In priority order, the tasks which
DOT highway crews are performing
as part of the annual " spring clean­up"
of Long Island's State roads
include: removal of roadway debris,
road patching and repairing guide
rails, re- establishing pavement
markings, clearing roadside litter,
controlling offensive weeds and
overgrowth, and roadside mowing.
Every State road on Long Island will
receive maintenance attention as
expeditiously as resources allow. To
minimize the impact on Long Island
travelers, weed control spraying may
be performed at night in limited
areas, where appropriate. Since
maintenance work operations are
often mobile, moving down to the
next section of roadway as work is
finished, motorists are urged to be
alert and cautious. DOT reminds
motorists that highway maintenance
and road construction work are
necessary to improve Long Island's
roads for everyone and every effort
is made to minimize the impact on
traffic.

Central Park Histori
May - 2005
April Program - The CPHS was
proud to host a program which
featured retired teachers and
administrators of the Bethpage
School District ( the only teacher not
retired was Senor Maio). They were
a vital part of our school community
from the Powell Avenue School, the
various elementary schools, the
middle school ( formally the JFK Jr.
High School), to the high school.
They all served as educators,
mentors, coaches, and friends to
many of our children.
Anne Merin's teaching career
began in Valley Stream Central High
School where she taught German
during World War II. Her first
experience with the Bethpage
Schools began in 1949 when she
was class mother when her first son
attended Powell Avenue School
and later she became active in the
PTA. In 1957 she began as a
substitute teacher. The population
was growing which presented a
great need for substitute teachers,
and the untimely teachers strike ( the
first teachers strike on Long Island)
stressed the system. After that she
was on call to substitute in the
various schools in the district. She
taught French, math, science, shop
and boys gym. In 1968 Anne
became a full time math teacher.
She taught both B and C classes in
the JFK Jr. High School and started
the individualize program with Mr.
Paul Rondone ( they even had a
computer to use). After about 25
years of teaching Anne retired in
1979.
Del Schiavetta told us she grew
up in up- state New York in the
Buffalo- Rochester area and
graduated from Geneseo College in
1953. At that time, principals would
interview graduates for positions in
their area, and Del was interviewed
by Mr. Vic Miller of the Broadway
School in Bethpage. Upon
graduation her college roommate
talked her into accompanying her to
Long Island, as her friend was
engaged to a soldier stationed in
Mitchel Field and she wanted to be
near him. Her friend got a job in
Hempstead, married her soldier, and
Del came to Bethpage to teach. Del
told her family she would be gone
for one year, but she met the
handsome young man who lived
next door which changed those
plans. She married Danny and they
both pursued a career in education
with a desire to mold and shape the
minds of the youth of our
community. As Del said, " It was a
gentler time after World War II,
people were getting on with their
lives, the population was exploding,
and the schools went on split
session." Del started her career in
what she called a rickety old school
on Powell Avenue where Anna
Rockhill was principal and her
colleagues were Mary Quinn, Mrs.
Dutton, Mrs. Lacker, Evelyn Rozzi
and George McElroy. She was
delighted when Pine Avenue
opened its doors which was a
beautiful new school. Danny began
his teaching career in Farmedge
School in Levittown and later at the
Bloomingdale Avenue School.
When the Bloomingdale Avenue
school was closed and razed he
moved on to Kramer Lane. 50 years
later Del claims to be a true Long
Island Girl and she shared the
picture of her and her 3rd grade
class of 1956.
George McElroy came to
Bethpage in 1954 and started
teaching in the Powell Ave. School.
He taught in Pine Avenue, Central
Boulevard while they were under
construction, and the Broadway
School which was on split session in
1957 & 1958. The Jr. high went to
school in the P. M. and the high
school went in the A. M. Mr. McElroy
taught Physical Education, and
coached basketball and baseball
and became assistant principal.
1961 he went to the high school as
assistant principal. He was asked by
Mr. Bryant to work on the title
programs, mainly Title I, for the
district as an administration assistant.
In 1966 he became principal of the
high school and worked through two
strikes. In 1968 the high school had
an extension built on, and boasted
an enrollment of 2100 students. He
is most proud of the many
successes of his students. Mr.
McElroy retired in 1985 and
continues in the field of education
by working with BOCES and Hofstra
University.
Anthony ( Duke) Ducato started
his presentation by thanking all for
having such nice kids and he was
proud to be a part of their lives. Mr.
Ducato came to Bethpage in 1954
as a shop teacher. He taught wood
shop, mechanical drawing, math and
machine shop. He became assistant
principal in 1966, and was principal
for six years. He also taught adult
education and drivers education. Mr.
Ducato retired in 1985, and has
volunteered at the Psychiatric Ward
in Plainview, the Detox Center, and
currently in Syosset Psychiatric
Ward. A proud moment for him was
to have one of his students become
a priest, Father Anthony Trapani,
and to have the honor to attend his
first mass at St. Martin of Tours R. C.
Church and receive Holy
Communion from him. He also
acknowledged the support of the
Bethpage School Board of
Education over the years.
Jack McCaffrey grew up in
Southold, Long Island and came to
teach in Bethpage in 1955 when the
district hired 86 teachers. He started
his career in Central Boulevard
School and taught Jr. High which
was located on the 2nd floor then
moved in with the Sr. High School,
on Broadway, and was on split
session. He was coordinator of the
Math Department for 15 years. He
took a sabbatical in 1969 for one
year to California with his family and

cat Society Update
received his Masters Degree in
math. He returned to Bethpage and
was math supervisor. In 1983 he
became assistant principal of the
high school. He is proud to say his
six children all went through the high
school. He retired in 1994 and said
he enjoyed his career as a teacher of
children in Bethpage and would do it
all over again.
Senor Maio is the only member of
the panel who is still working. He
came to Bethpage in 1966 and
claims Bethpage community is not
one that is easy to shake off. He
knows it as a friendly community and
is part of a great family. He likes to
remind his students that at one time
he taught one of their parents.
Senor Maio has a wonderful sense
of humor which is a great asset to
have as a teacher. He claims he will
continue to teach as long as his
batteries keep him running, and we
hope ( for the children's sake) this will
be for a long time.
Anthony Georgan considers
himself double blessed to live and
teach in Bethpage for 46 years. He
is proud to say he had four children
who went through Bethpage
Schools, and seven of his fourteen
grandchildren attend Bethpage
Schools. In 1966 he came to work in
the high school in the Social Studies
Department. He was very active in
the Theater Department and put on
great productions in the high
school. Mr. Georgan is retired now
for 12 years and still misses teaching
in the high school. He now operates
the Stage Theater in Merrick.
Harry Settino did a great job on
putting this program together, and
we thank him! He came to Bethpage
Schools in 1960 and at that time he
introduced the Marine Fitness
Program in the district. The Marine
Fitness Program is still very active
today in Bethpage. He coached
varsity baseball, football, wrestling,
as well as, girls track and bowling. He
had four children who went through
Bethpage Schools and he never
lost sight that every boy and girl he
taught is very special as someone's
son or daughter. He was very proud
to tell that he coached Joe Sambito
who went on to play major league
baseball. It was a very memorable
time, at his retirement in 1990, when
Joe Sambito attended his retirement
party and announced to all that
Coach Harry Settino once lied to
him. This caused a very stunned
Coach Settino in front of family,
colleagues, and friends. Joe went
on to explain, Coach Settino
refused to let him play first base in
fear of him harming his pitching arm,
and told him his arm would be worth
one million dollars some day. You
lied, Joe went on to say, for my arm
is now worth 14 million dollars.
Comments from the audience:
Cas Procida reminded all of the
cannons that once stood proudly in
front of the Powell Avenue School,
during World War II, were sold for the
metal to help in the war effort. Gary
Bretton told of the good
experiences he had attending
Bethpage Schools, and he went on
to explain that some experiences
were a little more painful than others.
Greg Settino questioned, " what
happened to the paddles that Mr.
Ducato had occasion to use?" Once
again Gary Bretton responded, he
has one hanging in his home.
Carmela McCarey shared her
diploma from Powell Avenue School
in 1931. Her daughter proudly
acknowledged the great experience
she had in the Bethpage High
School after her elementary
education in St. Martin of Tours. She
is now the assistant principal in
Hicksville. Dorothy Rabas told of her
fond memories attending the Powell
Avenue School. President Lenny
Mulqueen commented, " through
our children our teachers have
molded history and through their
deeds they continue to make
history." All the teachers agreed
they felt honored to have had the
opportunity to teach our children
and would do it all over again.
Mr. Settino told all that Coach
Howard Vogts is a finalist for the
National Coach of the Year. He is
being considered with eight others.
Howard Vogts coached in Bethpage
for over 50 years. We are proud of
his accomplishments. He is listed in
our Encyclopedia of Central
Park/ Bethpage
http:// www. bethpagelibraryinfo
We look forward to another,
" Meet Your Teacher Night Again,"
we hope same time next year. Mr.
Settino has agreed to organize
another very interesting program.
He is open for suggestions as to
who you would like to meet.
May Program - It is great to
welcome two wonderful additions to
our downtown Bethpage, Vintage
on Broadway at 325 Broadway, and
The Christian Corner at 322
Broadway. We are happy to have the
proprietors of both shops as guests
at our May meeting.
Vintage on Broadway is a
charming shop with gifts and
accessories for the home, country
furniture, antiques and replicas. The
proprietors of the shop are John and
Rene Raby Pufahl. They do a
wonderful job in choice and display
of their wares. Madelein Belveder is
a wonderful asset to this shop with
her talent and flair in floral arranging
and her overall artistic touch. Both
John and Rene grew up in
Bethpage and are now raising their
children in the same surroundings
they grew up in. They will share with
us their stories of growing up in
Bethpage and the choice they made
to open this very special shop in our
community.
The Christian Corner is located
directly across the street from
Vintage on Broadway, how
fortunate! Henry and Kathy Von
Thaden and Debbie and Gabe
Cavacchioli are the proprietors of
this very special shop. The
atmosphere in the shop is
welcoming as one enters the door.
They feature cards, books, tapes,
and gifts for all ages to acknowledge
that special landmark occasion, or
just to let one know you are thinking
about them. Henry Von Thaden
grew up in Bethpage and is the
cousin of Lenny Mulqueen. We are
delighted their love of the
community motivated them to invest
in it by opening their shop here. We
are also looking forward to hear
Henry relate what life in Bethpage
was all about a few years back.
Even if you are not looking to
make a purchase, please stop into
these shops, which are a wonderful
addition to our downtown, and
welcome the Von Thadens,
Cavacchiolis and Pufahls. Take
some time and look around and
remember all the beautiful and
varied merchandise that is available
when the time comes for you to
make that special purchase.

Barbershop Chorus Membership
The local Nassau Mid- Island
Chapter of The Barbershop
Harmony Society ( also known as
The Society for the Preservation
and Encouragement of Barbershop
Quartet Singing in America)
established in 1970, will accept up
to 20 new members in June for its
active chorus of adult male voices.
The non- profit a cappella national
society formed in 1938 today
numbers nearly 30,000 members in
over 800 chapters from the U. S. and
Canada with affiliated organizations
around the globe.
In its annual springtime bid for
additional membership, The Nassau
Mid- Island Chapter has designated
June as " Barbershop Tag ( You're IT)
Month." A " tag" in barbershop
terminology is the ending of a
barbershop song, usually the last
four to eight bars, and often
considered among the most
memorable chords in the song.
" Guests at our Tuesday night
rehearsals, aside from experiencing
the unique sounds of barbershop
and the camaraderie our get-togethers
afford, will be encouraged
to try a short ' tag' if they wish to,"
noted Joseph Massaro, the
organization's vice president of
chapter development. ' The tags are
not only enjoyable to hear, but
provide the fun of immediate
participation."
The Mid- Islanders, under the
current direction of Maurice Debar,
rehearse Tuesday evenings at
Winthrop Hall, Church of the
Advent, 555 Advent Street, in
Westbury at 8 p. m. Those interested
in being a part of the expanded
roster for this year are welcome to
listen and apply to join its ranks. For
additional information call 516- 437-
6056.

You Would Make a Great
Fresh Air Host
It doesn't take much to be a host
family for The Fresh Air Fund - Just a
little room in your heart and your
home. Many Fresh Air children have
never left the streets of New York
City. " We swim, horseback ride, and
gather eggs from chickens," said
one Fresh Air child.
The Fresh Air Fund is seeking
more host families in the Bethpage
area to open their homes to a New
York City child for two weeks this
summer.
Fresh Air host families can
chco?<=> the gender and approximate
i
age of their visitor. Many families find
their hosting experiences so
rewarding that over 65 percent of all
children are reinvited to stay with
host families, year after year. In
2005, The Fund continues its 128-
year- old tradition of serving children
with a wide variety of special events
and volunteer opportunities.
For more information on how you
can share the simple joys of summer
with a city child, please contact
Grace Razukas at 516- 364- 8652 or
The Fresh Air Fund at ( 800) 367-
0003. You can also visit The Fund

From monitoring frog and alligator
populations in Louisiana, to aquatic
field studies in their own
neighborhoods, students at John F.
Kennedy Middle School have been
learning about wetlands, why they
are disappearing, and what can be
done to protect them. It's all part of
this year's JASON Expedition, which
has Bethpage students excited
about science and technology, and
is offered in New York State through
Nassau BOCES.
Over 200 schools across New
York State ( that's approximately 650
teachers and more than 30,000
students) participate in the JASON's
expedition- based curriculum each
year. Students conduct their own
field studies and hands- on
classroom activities to match
experiments performed by host
researchers, as well as complete a
variety of ongoing Internet- based
exercises.
These youngsters, along with
others from New York, the country
and around the world, recently
joined well- known researchers at the
live JASON Expedition:
Disappearing Wetlands telecast.
Three Louisiana marshlands -
Jean Lafitte National Park, the
Louisiana Universities Marine
Consortium's laboratory at Port,
Fourchon and its marine center in
Cocodrie - served as the learning
laboratories for this year's JASON
Expedition and were the sites where
students and teachers interacted
with the research team in real time
via a two- way, direct satellite link to
Nassau BOCES.
From teachers integrating
technology into the classroom, to
students acquiring critical thinking
and problem- solving skills, JASON is
a proven success. Research
confirms that JASON's curriculum
promotes teamwork among
students and collaboration between
teachers, while reducing middle-schoolers'
fears of confronting
challenges.
Past expeditions included trips to
California's Monterey Bay, Belize,
the Galapagos Islands, Yellowstone
National Park, Alaska and Panama.
Next year's JASON Expedition will
examine the Mysteries of Earth and
Mars.
In 1993, Nassau BOCES became
the first JASON Project Primary
Interactive Network ( PIN) site in New
York State. Other sites - in the
United States, Canada, United
Kingdom, Mexico, Australia and
Bermuda - include universities,
natural history museums, maritime
centers and NASA installations.
Part of the public education
system, the Board of Cooperative
Educational Services of Nassau
County ( Nassau BOCES) provides a
wide variety of shared services to its
56 school districts. Among these are
special education, career and
technical education, instructional
programs, alternative schools,
distance learning and teacher
workshops that support the use of
technology in schools.
