Happy 50th Central Boulevard School!
The Central Boulevard
Elementary School community
celebrated its 50th anniversary with
great fanfare and a bevy of
wonderful festivities.
Coordinated by the PTA,
Parents, Deborah Nimmo, Linda
Mangano and Teachers, Barbara
Cataldi and Nanette Girolamo, the
festivities began on Wednesday,
June 1 with students dressing in the
theme of day - dressing up in 50' s
• style attire. The PTA, who supplied
" penny" candies, gave students a
taste of what it was like to be a kid in
the 50' s when just a few pennies
bought lots of " penny" candies.
On Thursday, June 2, the entire
school community was invited to a
ribbon cutting ceremony and
unveiling of the new CBS sign,
donated by the PTA. The sign,
which contains a plaque bearing the
words " 50 Years of Excellence" is a
welcome addition to the Central
Boulevard School. During the
ceremony, County Legislator Ed
Mangano, whose children once
attended the school, presented the
school with a citation, along with
Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor
John Venditto, who was joined by
Town Councilwomen Mary
McCaffery and Rose Walker and
Town Clerk Steve Labriola.
Students learned about the
history of the school through the
recollections of several speakers
who grew up in the area, even from
some who attended Bethpage
School District as youngsters.
Teri Tichy, an employee of the
District, parent, and member of the
Central Boulevard School as it stood in 1955 complete with some of the students who attended CBS fifty years ago.
School board member Don Tichy, school board member Tom Frost, Councilwoman Mary McCaffery, Town of Oyster Bay
Supervisor John Venditto, CBS Principal Steven Furrey, Bethpage School Superintendent Dr. Richard Marsh, Nassau County
Legislator Ed Mangano, Town Clerk Steve Labriola and TOB Councilwoman Rose Walker pose with some CBS students as
they are about to cut the ribbon on the new and improved Central Blvd. Elementary School sign.
Central Boulevard School
Community for many years said she
has many fond memories of CBS.
She began kindergarten in the
school and is a graduate of
Bethpage High School. Mrs. Tichy
and" her husband, Board of
Education member, Donald Tichy,
are raising their own children in the
very same community in which she
grew up.
' This brings back a lot of good
memories of when I was a child," said
Mrs. Tichy. " It's an emotional, happy
experience - it's an honor to be here
for this.'
After singing the Central
Boulevard School song, students
placed a variety of items they
created in class, including artwork,
poems and essays about their
favorite books, movies, actors,
sports figures and music into a " time
capsule." The time capsule will be
opened in 2055. The students also
wrote predictions on what life might
be like at CBS in 2055, and wrote
some of their sentiments about the
present state of the school in a
commemorative journal.
" I love CBS because it is a
wonderful school and it's filled with
laughter and joy," wrote fifth grader
Sophia Vitale.
" I learned a lot of things," added
first grader Erin Colon. " Now I can
read to my Mom and write my own
letters to Santa Claus."

The Hempstead Plains is the last
remnant of the native prairie that
once comprised 60,000 acres in
Nassau County. Among its 250
types of vegetation, it sustains many
federally endangered and globally
rare plants, as well as several plant
and animal species that are
considered rare in New York State. It
is truly the last piece of real prairie in
our state.
Nassau Community College and
the Nature Conservatory are
partners committed to preserving
the remaining Hempstead Plains.
The Friends of Hempstead Plains at

Supervisor Venditto to Head Republican Slate in Oyster Bay
Town Supervisor John Venditto
will head the Republican slate in the
Town of Oyster Bay having received
the nomination of the Town of
Oyster Bay Republican Committee
at its annual convention on May
19th.
Nominated along with Supervisor
Venditto were Councilmen Angelo
A. Delligatti and Chris J.
Coschignano and Elizabeth A.
Faughnan for Town Board, and
Town Clerk Steven L. Labriola.
Seeking his fifth term, Supervisor
Venditto brings more than two
decades of experience in public
service to the Supervisor's office.
He served as Town Attorney from
1991 to December 1997 and as a
Town Councilman from 1981 to
1991. He is a fiscal conservative,
who works hard to make
government efficient and provide
quality public services at the lowest
costs to taxpayers. While other
levels of government are facing
economic difficulties, under
Supervisor Venditto's leadership,
the Town of Oyster Bay has a strong
financial outlook and has earned an
A1 credit rating from Moody's
Investors Service and an AA credit
rating from Standard and Poor's.
Supervisor Venditto developed,
and the voters overwhelmingly
approved, the Town's acclaimed
$ 30 million SEA Fund for open
space preservation and park
improvements and expansion,
under which the Town acquired
more than 79 acres of land and
undertook a variety of park
improvement projects, including
new playing fields, two new
community centers, new
playgrounds, and refurbishing pools
and basketball courts, to name a
few. In 2004, the Supervisor
proposed SEA Fund II to continue
the work started under the original
SEA Fund, and it, too, won
overwhelming voter support in
November 2004. Under his
direction, the Town undertook an
unprecedented renovation and
refurbishment of Town parks,
beaches and community
playgrounds. Supervisor Venditto
has also taken the lead on
environmental fronts. In February
2004, he formed the Green Energy
Task force to develop and
implement clean energy programs
and initiatives throughout the Town.
In March 2005, the Town of Oyster
Bay has become the first Town on
Long Island to adopt an annual
Clean Energy Action Plan.
Knowing the importance of
proper planning to ensure against
the over- development of the Town,
Supervisor Venditto initiated the

Supervisor Venditto said,
" Representing the residents of the
Town of Oyster Bay is extremely
rewarding. It has been gratifying to
see many of my goals achieved,
such as getting the Town on sound
financial footing, helping create
more housing opportunities for
seniors and the next generation,
acquiring more open spaces and
parkland, and generally helping our
Town maintain its standing as one of
the most desirable places to live.
There is more my colleagues and I
would like to do in, and for, this
Town, though. I look forward to
working with them and having a
dynamic new voice on the Town
Board in Ms. Faughnan, who is
already well known to those of us in
Town government, as well as many
residents, as an energetic and
dedicated worker in any endeavor
she undertakes. With the help and
support of Oyster Bay Town
residents, we will keep Oyster Bay a
great place to live, work and raise a

my constituents," Councilman
Coschignano said. " Just as
importantly, I wanted the Web site to
enable constituents to communicate
and help each other. This Web site
addresses all of these needs."
Among the unique features of
Councilman Coschignano's site are
RSS syndicated news and photo
feeds, believed to be a first on Long
Island for an elected official. The site
also includes a Councilman's " Biog,"
an E- Mail Alert System and other
helpful information for Town
residents.
Local community groups will also
benefit from www. tobcjc. com.
" These groups are welcome to
send me their announcements and
I'll make every effort to publicize their
worthwhile programs and events,"
said Councilman Coschignano.
" Encouraging this type of
communication helps our Town
grow stronger and makes it an even
better place to live, work and play."
Over the next few months
Councilman Coschignano has even
more planned for his website,
including the addition of useful
communication technology.
" It's an exciting and effective way
to reach people and I invite all
residents to visit and re- visit the
site," Councilman Coschignano
said. " Please let me know if there is
anything I can do to improve the site,
or if I can be of service in any way. It
is an honor serving as a Town of
Oyster Bay Councilman and I look
forward to hearing soon from Town
residents."

It is great hearing from you -
William Ahem Jr., who now resides
in Florida, sent the following stories
he would like to share with our
members about his experiences of
running into people from Bethpage
all around the world.
" Reading the March Newsletter
and scanning the list of members I
am reminded of the small world we
live in. Here are a couple of personal
examples: During WWII my good
friend Jay Simmons path and mine
crossed in Cape Girardeau, MO. He
was in the Navy at the time I served
in the Air Force at Scott Field, IL We
exchanged uniforms and spent a
great weekend together chasing
girls as a member of the other's
service. I don't remember who won
the bet. While stationed in Mitchel
Air Force Base at the beginning of
the Korean War I helped establish a
training unit and wound up giving my
brother Tom basic training. At one
point we had a picture in Newsday of
Tom saluting me for a three day
pass. My trip to Korea during the
Korean War was on a troop ship with
200 Air Force and 3000 Marines.
While we had the run of the deck,
the Marines were rotated, a few at a
time, from the " holds" to the deck for
air. Standing at the rail I looked to my
right and who was standing there
but Paul Dana. I'll let him tell you
about it. During the war I also
crossed paths with Bill Margot in
Tokyo, Japan. We sneaked into his
unit area and I managed to use the
bunk of a friend who was away on
leave.
I also have the very fond
memories of Grumman, Plant One.
My grammar school Principal, Paul
Gilbert, then Personnel Director of
Grumman, hired me, as a summer
employee, while in High School to
work in the Gas Rationing
Department. I still have a copy of my
first pay check. A few years before
that Mr. Gilbert also taught me how
to twirl spaghetti at a supper in the
auditorium of the old grade school in
Bethpage when he, as principal, saw
Central Park Historical Society Update
me with it all over my face and
making loud slurping noises."
Mildred Kesler shared with us her
Life on Parkview Circle.
" My husband Joe, and I and our
18 month old daughter, Mil moved
into 41 Parkview Circle in mid
December of 1957. We had moved
from a three room apartment in Kew
Gardens. My husband was 31 years
old and I was 22. My husband had
been transferred to Fairchild Graphic
Equipment on Sunnyside Blvd. in
Plainview. The house was
$ 17,500.00 and my husband put
$ 10,000 down and then realized he
needed a car and I remembered I
had saved $ 1,500.00 and we were
able to buy a blue Chevrolet Bel Air
sedan. It was all so exciting. I was so
delighted with the little park by
Bethpage Elementary School which
was on Broadway and the lovely tree
lined streets especially Maple. I had
no car so shopping was at the A and
P and I loved the little variety store
next door and buying toys for Mil.
When my husband was not working
we went grocery shopping at
Foodtown in Plainview and over to
Sears in Hicksville. When the
shopping plaza on Stewart Avenue
was built, I was delighted because I
still had no car of my own.
There were many young families
about the circle and mothers walked
about with their children, plenty of
stay at home moms. I was lonely and
missed my mother so I spent time
and talked to the grandmothers who
were outside enjoying the sun or
working on the property, or
babysitting. Mil was joined in time by
two other sisters. They didn't have
to be taken on play dates but went
outside and there was always
somebody to play with. When Joe
first went to work, he loved driving
on Plainview Road and going past
the last remaining farmland and a
cow on the grounds of the now
Charles Campagne School. Joe was
a former World War II veteran serving
in Italy right after high school. He
made friends among the men who
were always out there cutting grass
( no landscapes) and planting trees
and bushes on the former potato
field. In the early morning in the
fifties you would occasionally see
rabbits running across the lawn. This
was a very happy time with lovely
memories!!!" We thank you Mildred
for sharing your fond memories of
n^ m m am W0K3KMMMMMMMBKMMMMM
living and raising your family in
Bethpage.
Joe Olsen told us he enjoys
reading our newsletter and
saddened to learn the passing of
Gene Albertson. He was in Gene's
class in school and played ball with
him in Farmingdale High School

where Gene was called-" Lugie." Joe
also inquired about the farms that
once existed in Bethpage and if we
have them documented. We do
have information in our
Encyclopedia about the farms listed
under agriculture, and we are always
looking for more information about
the early days of Central
Park/ Bethpage. We welcome any
information one can share with us.
You can view the Encyclopedia of
Central Park/ Bethpage, a work in
progress, at

We were happy to hear from Ed
Villafranca, who now lives in Virginia,
and he signed up his three sisters as
members of our society. All are
Bethpage High School graduates,
and have since relocated. He also
enrolled his 90 year old father, who
at one time, served on the
Bethpage Board of Education.
Jim Walton sent us the below
picture of the Central Park
Kindergarten class of 1931. Miss
Woodruff was the teacher. Jim said
he knows the faces of all and the
names of some. He identified the
following: Top row fourth from the
left. Jim Walton. Middle Row - first on
left Mildred Gifford and first on left
bottom row is Gerald Altman. He
thinks the fourth from left, bottom
row Anthony Vitali? Can you identify
more?
May Days - We celebrate
Memorial Day, May 30 ( originally
known as Decoration Day). A day to
honor the men and women of all
branches of the military in our
country who gave their lives for the
cause of freedom. We pray for
continued guidance in the quest lor
liberty, justice., and peace.
Remember to salute our veterans by
purchasing and wearing a Poppy
which represents the poppies that
blossomed on the battle fields of
France after World War One. A great
way of showing pride and respect for
our veterans, and to help support
the many programs of rehabilitation
of veterans and children and youth
programs. Come out and join the
march down Broadway to our
Community Park where services will
be held to honor our military. The

plants in our community, traffic
congestion, housing for those
starting out in life, as well as, our
seniors. The Goslines are seeking a
strong grass roots approach of local
residents to address these
problems.
Condolences - The Central Park
Historical Society sends its
sympathy to the Rafensky family and
friends of the late Mary Ann Rafenski
Bourque. Mary was cared for and
loved by her nieces Lois and Janet
Rafenski, Jean Rafenski Reynolds,
Delores Van Tassell and Caroline
Kielbasa. Mary had a wonderful, kind
and caring spirit. She loved to tell
stories about growing up in Old
Bethpage and living her life in the
Bethpage area. During my last visit
with Mary, in early April, I
encouraged her to write her stories
down to share with others. After her
death I received the following letter
in the mail from Mary, who would
have celebrated her 95th birthday
the end of this month, I would like to
share it in part with you.
Back in 1976,1 was president of
the seniors. The K of C members
were kind enough to let us use their
building for our meetings. For the
Christmas Holiday we voted to put
up a Christmas tree, with. proper
trimmings made by the members in
our group, in the King Kullen
parking lot. The fire men helped us
by putting up the lights after I tried to
climb a ladder to decorate the tree.
Then Paul Wilson came by with hot
coffee and cookies to warm us which
was appreciated. We were all glad of
a job " well done!" Guess what
happened? The following morning
the tree and lights were down in a
pool of water in the parking lot. My
heart sank, all that work and all those
kind people who helped.

Maritime Festival Teaches Students
About Life Within the Ocean Depths
Third grade students of Bethpage School District attended
the third annual Maritime Festival hosted by Bethpage High
School where students were able to touch live oceanic
organisms, like these star fish.
At the annual Maritime Festival
held at Bethpage High School, third
grade youngsters of Bethpage
School District got a taste of what it's
like to be a fish or sea mammal living
in the Atlantic Ocean, the vast body
of water that surrounds Long Island.
The festival, hosted by students of
science research, forensics,
physics, biology, chemistry and AP
biology classes, and Teacher,
Lawrence Portuese was a fun- filled,
educational event with many hands-on
activities for all third grade
classes.
The entire lobby and Little
Theater of the High School was
transformed into a giant nautical
work area, divided into stations,
including the touch tanks, scuba
diving, rope and fish printing station.
At the helm of each station were
knowledgeable High School
students who taught enthusiastic
third graders how to perform various
tasks, such as how to tie a fishing
rope and dissect a fish.
Students enjoyed the " touch '
tank," a large container filled with
salty ocean water in which they were
able to pick up and examine starfish,
squid, eel, horseshoe crabs and
other sea critters. Brian Donigian, a
third grade student in Mr. Sarube's
class explained why he liked the
touch tank best. " The touch tank
was fun because it had digesting
fish and horshoe crabs that you
could look at and hold in your hand,"
said Brian.
Many third graders were more
than eager to help dissect a blue
fish, said Nick Longo, Matthew
Competello and Will Wulff, the
seniors who helped them perform
the task. " We showed them the
external and internal parts of the
blue fish and explained how the tails
of fish and mammals are different,"
explained Nick. " The orientation of a
mammal's tail is different - it goes up
and down, while fish goes side to
side."
' The overall response was pretty
good," added Matthew. " Most of the
kids were pretty excited, even
ecstatic. And most of them were
interested in dissection and
forensics."
Lawrence Portuese, teacher of
forensics and science research
classes, has organized the Maritime
Festival for the past three years.
" It started three years ago when I
was teaching environmental science
- older kids were showing what they
learned to younger kids and the kids
look forward to it," explained Mr.
Portuese. " There's a bit of history
involved too - Long Island had a
large whaling industry. Areas such
as Bay Port and Sayville were big
whaling towns," he said. " But we are
also passing along an environmental
message - be careful not to throw
fishing line or plastic bags in the
water to preserve life. Sea turtles, an
endangered species, confuse
plastic bags for jelly fish. This
program instills an appreciation in
the kids and teaches them that we
live on an island with extremely rich
oceans around us which are full of
life."
Central Blvd. School
Celebrates 50 Years
( Continued from page 1)
Way back in 1955. Notice the neckties and fancy dresses.
Dressed in their " Caring, Believing and Succeeding" 50th anniversary t- shirts,
students at CBS are still smiling, laughing and proudly stating that they are
" NUMBER ONE!
WAY BACK WHEN:
Recollections on the Early Years
By Ken S. Blau
When Central Boulevard opened after Labor Day in September, 1955,
there was much excitement and some confusion. Teachers, children,
parents, and workers arrived early. Many school buses were arriving with
junior high students. The Junior High occupied the 2nd floor of Central
Boulevard as a temporary measure until facilities for those students would be
complete. Workmen were completing painting in the hallways and laying floor
tile in some of the classrooms.
Ninety- nine members of the district's teaching staff were hired for the
1955 school year and most of these teachers were assigned to Central
Boulevard, Kindergarten through grade 6 and to Junior High School grades 7
& 8. It was a time when everyone was young and eager to begin new
professional relationships. It didn't take long for things to settle down and
Central Boulevard to begin its climb to excellence.
Most unique during the first few years were the double sessions: 8: 00AM
to 12: 00 noon and 1: 00pm to 4: 00pm. Lunch and recreation were before
school for the afternoon session and after school for the morning session. In
mid- February, the sessions switched and the morning session became the
afternoon session.
Students shared desks and textbooks. Some classes had more than 40
students. Room arrangements had to be agreed upon by both sharing
teachers. Students were not allowed to take home textbooks. Teachers
shared their desks as well, sometimes not easily because of individual
personalities. Most humorous were the notes written each day by teachers
indicating missing textbooks or rearranged desks. The children particularly
enjoyed playing pranks by switching desks and textbooks.
With all the challenges, the beginning years at Central Boulevard School
were wonderful, exciting, and memorable, proving that teachers and children
Students and parents were also
treated to a slide show of images
from the last 50 years, along with
musical performance by the Select
Chorus, under the direction of Music
Teacher, Amy McGrath. Students
sang a medley of songs covering 50
years of music from 1955 to the
present.
Steven Furrey, Principal of
Central Boulevard Elementary
School since 1997, grew up in
Bethpage and is a graduate of
Bethpage High School. He has
seen many positive changes to the
building since he began his tenure,
including modernization of the CBS
School Library with a computerized
card catalogue, installation of new
windows, doors, new roof and new
computers in every classroom.
Academic improvements include the
inclusion program for grades three,
four and five.
Of the 50th anniversary
celebration at CBS, Mr. Furrey said
he was pleased to be a part of this
historical event. ' This is an
appropriate, heartfelt tribute for
everyone who was affiliated with
Central Boulevard School and
community - the students, parents,
teachers and administrators," said
Mr. Furrey. ' The events were a
reflection of the past 50 years and it
was all done with a great deal of care,
compassion and pride."
Central Boulevard also held a
special reception for staff, where Mr.
Furrey and past Principals Brad Gaito
and Ken Blau were honored. Mr.

golden anniversary, we celebrate
just how much the school has meant
to the children of Bethpage and all
of the people who have had the

her beautiful and powerful
voice.

As the ribbon was cut, the children of CBS received a siren salute by members of
the Bethpage Fire Department. The Bethpage Fire Department as well as Nassau

Brad Gaito
Brad Gaito was born shortly after
the war, July 19,1946 in Warrenton,
Virginia to two second generation
European immigrants. Although
neither of his parents attended
college, they were determined to
have both their children college
educated. They were successful in
that both Mr. Gaito and his brother
received advanced degrees. During
Brad Gaito's first twelve years of life
his family moved from state to state
several times. They finally settled
down on Long Island in time for Brad
to start seventh grade. Mr. Gaito has
considered himself an " Islander"
ever since.
When asked, Brad Gaito said he
believes the most important
educational events during his
school and college were his
involvement in numerous sports,
musical and artistic endeavors. As a.
result Brad learned early on the
importance of these activities as
basis for enhanced learning and
building self esteem. Throughout
his career as a teacher, district level
and building level administrator, Mr.
Gaito held these beliefs paramount.
He firmly believes in Gardner's
theories involving multiple
intelligences and has tried to adhere
to its tenets as one of the more
important foundations of his
educational philosophy. To this end,
he was fortunate that throughout his
career, he found himself in a district
that strongly supported strong
academic programs, the fine arts and
athletics. As a teacher, an
administrator and through his
involvement with clubs and various
organizations within the school
district, he was able to help many of
his students develop an
interdisciplinary approach to
learning. Mr. Gaito believes this
approach is a most effective
mechanism to enhance a student's
learning potential and academic
success.
Since 1968, including a
wonderful marriage to his wife, Lois,
the birth, education and successful
career of his daughter Lauren, Mr.
Gaito was employed by the
Bethpage School District. A career,
as he looks back, which was marked
with very few regrets. He had the
pleasure of teaching in every school
in the district and believes that to be
not only an honor but a rather
unusual accomplishment. During
the years as junior high teacher,
high school teacher, district
supervisor, principal, elementary
science specialist, and science
department chair, Brad Gaito always
found a supportive community, a
truly professional staff, and most
would agree, many of the nicest
children on Long Island. No matter
any and all outsiders. He credits
both the parents and all members of
the Bethpage educational
community for this fact. His goal, as
an educator, was to maintain this
most favorable attribute and he
believes he has done just that.
With the retirement of Mr. Ken
Blau, Brad Gaito applied for and was
granted the position as principal of
CBS. It was a position that he held
for four years and Brad claims that it
was one of the most rewarding and
memorable career experiences.
During those years he found a
dedicated and extremely
professional staff, a truly supportive
parent organization and most
importantly about five hundred
sensitive, hard working and eager to
please students. From standardized
tests and numerous state mandates,
parent reading nights to concerts,
art shows to gym shows, bookworms
to haunted houses, pretzel days to
the Memorial Day parades, lip syncs
to Grandparents day, every day was
a special day. Mr. Gaito has many
fond memories of CBS, memories
that he stated, surface each time he
comes in contact with or even
sometimes just hears the name of a
former student or parent.
In addition, for one year following
his time as principal, he served as
the district elementary science
specialist. Mr. Gaito stated that this
was by far the most creative and one
" We love CSS!" Congrats on 50
years of excellences'
of the most demanding teaching
assignments he has ever had. Brad o.
Gaito finished his career at ^
Bethpage as a high school Biology - L
teacher and the Science
Department Chair. Most recently, ^
Brad Gaito had the pleasure of k>
cominq out of retirement to teach at 8
the high school again for almost a
year. Mr. Gaito feels as though it was ^
a tremendous pleasure working with m
the children he knew as m
kindergartners during his last year at x
CBS, as he feels that watching 5
students grow and intellectually ^
mature is truly a sight to behold. Of - H
all the memories that Bethpage has =|
offered to Brad Gaito, these cz
transitions by far have meant the m
most to him. As he looks back at •
what he calls " a most cherished 5
educational career" he realizes that ^
indeed Bethpage School District -^
was in fact the only place for him. "^
WHAT A SURPRISE!
Former CBS Student and Present CBS Teacher,
Maura Olson. Receives Special Recognition
ON A PERSONAL NOTE:
Longevity and So Much More
By Linda Mangano
Webster's Dictionary defines
the term longevity as: a long
duration of time, permanence
and or durability. It is obvious
that Central Boulevard
Elementary School fits Webster's
definition to a tee as it has
proven to not only be durable
and permanent, but also to have
withstood the test of time. On
June 2, the Central Boulevard
community celebrated their
golden anniversary and fifty
years of excellence in education
Yet it is not the longevity of
the building that was or should
be honored. Instead it is the
people, who for half a century
have been nurturing and
educating so many Bethpage
children, who should be honored
and commended. A building is
only as impressive as its
inhabitants and in the case of
Central Boulevard Elementary
School that indeed is quite
impressive.
I remember my apprehension
the first day I left my children at
the front doors of CBS. I am sure
that I was much more nervous
and frightened than my boys
were. Aren ' t all moms? Yet that
very same day, just hours after I
left them, they returned home
smiling ear to ear, telling me all
the wonderful and exciting new
things that happened to them at
school. And while the stories
changed, as too did my children,
their eagerness and love for CBS
never changed nor did mine.
Central Boulevard School and
its wonderful, caring and
dedicated staff and teachers
liiiHIIll!
became like a family to my
children and me. And while I am
so thankful for the wonderful
education that my children
received during their years at
Central Boulevard, perhaps what
I am most thankful for is how
they were taught to be good, kind
and caring people. And they
learned those lessons through the
goodness, through the kindness
and through the caring of
teachers that I, and so many
others, simply adore and will
never forget. The wonderful
people inside this fifty year old
building we call Central
Boulevard have touched more
lives than they could ever
imagine. And it is for that reason
that we celebrate the
accomplishments and
w anniversary of this very special
place and why we salute the
entire CBS family.
Thank you all for fifty years of
dedication, hard work,
commitment, durability,
compassion, excellence and
understanding. Thank you for
giving us all so many wonderful
memories. Memories that will
never be forgotten and are
cherished by parents and
children alike. Congratulations,
too, on this special anniversary
and for the longevity of your
commitment to excellence in
education. Please know you have
changed the world, one child at a
time and that you have made a
positive and permanent impact
on so many Bethpage children
and parents who will forever
look back on their years at CBS
with happiness, admiration,
appreciation and love.

Music and chorus teacher Amy McGrath directs the Central Boulevard
Select Chorus as they sang a medley of songs from 1955 to the present. They
group performed everything from Chuck Berry to Britney Spears and had
the crowd standing on their feet cheering and applauding their spectacular
performance. Amy McGrath also had children perform the Central
Boulevard song as well as a new song, which she wrote, called the
Anniversary Song at the ceremony on June 2. Thanks to the heartfelt lyrics
of Mrs. McGrath as well as the talented voices of CBS children there wasn't
a dry eye in the house!
Along with celebrating 50 years of excellence in education, CBS honored four
individuals who have played a vital role in the success and wonderful history of
CBS. Honored were former principal Brad Gaito, teacher and former CBS student
Maura Olson, former principal Ken Blau and present principal Steve Furrey. The
honorees are pictured above with their awards and Nassau County Legislator Ed

During the 5( fh Anniversary dinner celebration, which was held at the Woodland's
in Woodbury, special awards of appreciation were given to CBS staff members
who have been part of the Bethpage school district family for over 25 years.
Congratulations to Michael Masone, 32 years; Janet Casella, 30 years; Jack
Fleming, 32 years; Erv Farkas, 28 years; Sari Sharofsky, 26 years; Janet Harris,
32 years; Tim Walsh, 32 years, Maura Olson, 35 years and Nanette Girolamo, 28
years. The dinner was a truly memorable event and all those in attendance had a
fantastic time.
Awards of appreciation were also given to CBS retirees Ronnie Getz, Sidney Fink,
Dolores McAuliffe, Stephanie Neigeborn, Irene Peterson, Yvette Rosenthal,
Miriam Fogelman, Irene Silftn, Marion Sobol, Egon Teichert, Gerald Da/ ven,
Frank Malone, Ken Blau and Victoria Nesnick. It was an honor to have them take
part in the CBS celebration. In fact many retirees and alumni traveled from great
distances to be a part of this special evening. We thank our friends from Boca
Raton, Virginia and various parts of Florida.
Central Boulevard Through The Years
Additional Recollections
• Class size averaged about 40 students and was eventually brought
down to 35.
• Because Grumman was continuously testing airplanes from the
Bethpage airstrip, students and teachers quickly got used to the roaring of
the engines, stopping instruction for a moment.
• Students received polio inoculations in school under the auspices of the
Nassau County Health Department.
• The entire school visited the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows with
special Long Island Railroad trains leaving from the original LIRR station.
Although no students were left behind, we did lose several parent
chaperones that missed the train back to Bethpage. Three students were
very wet after falling into fountains.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Linda,
On Friday, May 27th, a neighbor of mine was struck by a dark colored SUV
while he was crossing Powell Avenue. The driver, wearing a white baseball
cap, shouted obscenities at my neighbor as he was tossed into the air from
the impact. The driver of the SUV then sped off. Unfortunately, this is how
your typical hit- and- run accident plays out but not, however, the saddest part
of this particular story. While my neighbor was lying in the street, at least three
vehicles swerved around his prone body -- into incoming traffic -- rather than
take the time to pull over and help the man. I am appalled by the behavior of
the man whose vehicle struck my neighbor and disgusted by the drivers of
the vehicles that did not deem it necessary to stop to offer assistance. I
wonder what this world is coming to when I see such blatant disrespect for
human life displayed so callously in front of so many witnesses. The man that
hit my neighbor should be ashamed of himself for not stopping and for
insulting the man he struck down. I wonder how he can live with himself? The
drivers of the vehicles that swerved around a man lying in the street are a
disgrace to humanity. I think I finally understand why there are so many
medications on the market to help people sleep at night. Thanks go out to
the Good Samaritan on the motorcycle who stopped to offer assistance and
to the Nassau County Police Department for responding so quickly. I
sincerely hope that the man who was driving the SUV is reading this and
realizes that there were witnesses to the accident and that he will, eventually,
be held accountable for his actions.

Editor's Notebook
By Linda Mangano
With the school year quickly coming to a close and with this edition being
dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of Central Blvd. School, it seems fitting to
take a moment to discuss the impact many teachers have on the lives of their
students. . . ,
We all remember those special educators. The teacher who took extra
time to make sure you understood a new lesson. The teacher who had
confidence in you and your abilities. That teacher who you looked up to
because they helped you to strive to be better than you thought you could
be. And that teacher who plainly, yet most importantly cared about you and all
of his or her students.
We remember them and after about thirty years or so I can still tell you that
Mrs. Thomas was my absolute idol. Ms. Munger- Spar made me strive to work
harder and Mr. Palazzolo made me realize the importance of helping others.
Ms. Quinn made me understand the meaning of the word responsibility and
Ms. Gluf made me love gym while Mrs. Ackley taught me to appreciate art.
That was way back during my days as a Charles Campagne student and
although on any given day I can't remember where I put my keys, I can
remember why I loved those teachers and why I'll never forget how special
they were to me.
Teachers have a vital role in shaping all our futures. They educate
students in academics, in morality, in socialization and in responsibility and
that is by no means an easy task.
And as we all move on in our lives and raise children of our own we also
hold a special place in our hearts for those teachers who made a difference in
the lives of our own children. The cycle continues and it does so because of
the dedication of so many teachers who teach because they love to. That is
the difference.
So as we get ready to put the books away, and forget about making the
dreaded " lunch," think back for a moment and remember that special teacher
that made a difference in your life or in your child's life. I am sure in just a
second, you will be able to rattle off the names of those teachers who for one

Good Shepherd Happenings
On a spectacular spring afternoon the grounds of Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church filled with a herd of giggling,
laughing sheep. A closer look at the flock showed them to be
the children of the school wearing sheep ears they had made
that morning. Following their " shepherd" Pastor Phillip Kunder
the children had a wonderful time learning about being a good
shepherd. Pictured are Pastor Kunder, the teachers and
children of Good Shepherd School.
