bellmore9.5

by Linda Delmonico Prussen

The issue on the minds of 20 and moreresidents gathered at the North MerrickLibrary for last week’s joint meeting of theNorth Bellmore Civic Association and theNorth and the Central Merrick CivicAssociation were plans for the Citgo stationon Bellmore Avenue at the intersection ofJerusalem and Park Avenues.

Off to a late start, the discussion of theCITGO station’s fate quickly becameheated, with residents expressing con-cern over the proposed 24-hour opera-tion of a convenience store at the station.On hand to listen to residents’ concernswere two attorneys from the Town ofHempstead, Anthony Boccella andMichael Venditto; and Kevin O’Brien,attorney for the CITGO station owners.

Mr. Venditto said, “The residents ofthe Town of Hempstead are the bestjudges of what does and doesn’t belongin their communities.”

After fielding numerous objections to theidea of an open-all-night store, Mr. O’Brienconceded, “I think we pretty much understandit’s not looking like a 24-hour operation. Ithink that’s off the table.”

Residents asked the town attorneys if por-tions of the proposal could be approved,

while other portions are denied. Mr.Venditto said, “To my understanding, thetown can reject one aspect of the proposaland accept others.”

LandscapingAconcern that appears to have been unwar-

ranted was the unsubstantiated rumor that twooak trees were to be cut down in the upgrade.This statement appeared in a North andCentral Merrick Civic Association email sentto Bellmore Life. Residents were concernedthe absence of the trees would lessen thebuffer between the station and their homes.

Mr. O’Brien allayed those fears, saying“We are not cutting down any trees. We areincreasing, not decreasing, the buffer.” Mr.O’Brien brought proposed drawings for theupgraded station depicting the added land-scaping. He assured residents, “We are defi-nitely not taking the oak trees down.”

Another unconfirmed rumor Mr.O’Brien refuted was that the curb cutsfor the entrance and exits would bechanged. He said, “The curb cuts willremain the same.”

Residents also requested that the fencingat the location be upgraded from a 6-footfence to a 10-foot fence to protect the privacyof homeowners in the area.

Mr. O’Brien said a change the own-

ers would like to make is upgrading thestation from a full-service only stationto a station that offers both full-serviceand self-service options.

He said the gas station was built in the1950s and in operation for about 60 years. Hesaid a necessary change is the tanks. He

explained the tanks need to be changed fromsingle to “double walled” tanks.

Ownership vs. operationsMr. O’Brien said the CITGO was owned by

My memories of teaching at Mepham High Schoolby Jack Rice

I had the privilege of teaching atMepham High School from 1980-1989.I carefully selected the word “privilege”because it best expresses how I feelabout my time there.

The previous decade found me teach-ing English, grades 7-9, at JerusalemAvenue Junior High School. After nineyears I was ready for a change.

Evidently, Mepham had been goingthrough some rough times then, and whenI announced my plans to transfer there thegeneral response I received was, “ Don’tdo it, don’t go to the Big House,” as it was

being called, equating it to a huge and dan-gerous prison.

Not having taught there in the 1970s,all I can describe is what I found begin-ning in September of 1980: an exciting,vibrant educational institution. WithPrincipal Ken Rutley at the helm therewas order, inspiration and growth.

Students in the three grades – sopho-mores, juniors and seniors – enjoyed acollege-like atmosphere with abundantcourse selections such as marine biology,media, psychology and an art departmentwhere pride and achievement flourishedon a daily basis.

The story went that Ken Rutley had been

brought in to restore order, and that is whathe accomplished. As a teacher, he offeredme encouragement and made me seeMepham as a fine school with a potentialfor greatness.

For example, he made sure I had a state-of-the-art VCR system for my media class.He also made me aware of the superb jour-nalism seminars offered each year atColumbia University. Over a hundred stu-dents participated in them in that decade.

The message from him was clear to allfaculty members who wanted to expandtheir educational horizons, to offer moremeaningful learning experiences to stu-dents: Ken Rutley was going to aid you.

I am thankful for each day I spent atMepham. Long may it thrive!

The late Principal Ken Rutley

160 members enshrined in Mepham’s Who’s Who by Brian Levy

The Who’s Who program was original-ly instituted by the Bellmore-MerrickCentral High School Board of Educationin 1964.

In 1987 the Mepham AlumniAssociation reestablished this pro-gram, which recognizes and honorsMepham alumni who have made sig-nificant accomplishments in theirfields of work, outstanding contribu-tions to mankind and service to theircommunities.

A plaque is in the Mepham HighSchool foyer listing the Who’s Whohonorees and their fields of work.

A few of the more famous Who’s Whorecipients: Roone Arledge, Class of1948, the ABC TV sports producer;Thomas J. Kelly, Class of 1946, projectengineer for the Grumman LunarModule program and Sprig Gardner,longtime Mepham wrestling coach andathletic director.

Nine things to remember about September 11

1. It does not matter how many years have passedsince September 11, 2001. The pain is just as fresh,especially for those who lost loved ones on that day. Itis important to reach out to them at this time and letthem know we care.

2. This day is now called Patriot Day, not to be con-fused with Patriots Day celebrated in Massachusetts onthe third Monday in April to commemorate the firstbattles of the American Revolutionary War inLexington and Concord.

3. It is not a federal or school holiday. But flags areflown at half mast and people are asked to observe amoment of silence in the morning at 8:46 a.m., the timethe first plane struck the World Trade Center.

4. Everyone, even those who did not lose family orfriends on 9/11, feels a loss because our world viewchanged so dramatically on that day. Everyone canremember exactly where they were and what they weredoing when they got the news.

5. Everyone can do something productive to expressthose feelings of patriotism that well up in response tothat terrible attack. We can work to make our greatcountry stronger and better.

6. Every community has memorials to the victims of9/11. Visiting them and caring for them keeps alive thememories.

7. Many people in our country’s military joined upafter 9/11 in a desire to serve their country. We in turnowe them encouragement and appreciation of the sacri-fices they have made to protect our country.

8. So too, others were inspired to join homelandsecurity, become police officers or firefighters, enterpolitics or religion, to become grief counselors,fundraisers, writers and artists.

9. Have you ever noticed how often one gets a chillupon glancing at the clock exactly at 9:11? It wouldnever have been noticed before, but now it is aserendipitous reminder to pray for the victims, their sur-vivors, our country and our world.

Bellmore heroine saves dog by Vin Scaduto

A Bellmore woman heard loud poppingand crackling while in her backyard around12:30 p.m. last Friday. A fire had brokenout on the deck of a neighbor’s homebehind hers.

She immediately dialed 911 and reporteda fire on Florin Court near Lefferts Place.While staying on the phone, she speededaround the block in her car to get the exactaddress for 911 dispatchers. The BellmoreFire Department and Nassau County Policeunits were advised of the precise location.

First to arrive at the scene was BellmoreEngine 603. Firefighters connected to anearby hydrant and stretched a hose line tothe rear of the home. A propane tank wasremoved from the path of the fire, narrow-ly averting disaster.

The extreme heat of the deck fire causedflames to break out behind a closed slidingglass door into the kitchen of the home. ASignal 10 was transmitted, code for a work-ing house fire.

A neighbor advised that the homeownerscould be inside. The crew from BellmoreLadder 606 forced entry into the house andbegan to search for possible victims. As fire-

fighters entered the home a scared andsmoky dog ran from within.

Firefighters from Bellmore Engine 602stretched a hose line through the front doorto extinguish the fire. The quick actions ofBellmore firefighters prevented furtherspread of the fire to the rest of the home.

There was no one home at the time of thefire, and the dog was unharmed.

Upon arrival Second Assistant ChiefSteve Marsar assumed command. NorthBellmore Ladder 657 was dispatched asthe F.A.S.T. team – Firefighter Assist andSearch Team.

A ladder truck from the Wantagh FireDepartment was also called to the scene,with units from Merrick and Levittown FireDepartments called to standby at BellmoreFire Department headquarters on PettitAvenue. The home sustained moderatedamage, with the majority being containedto the outside deck and rear patio door andwalls. There were no firefighter injuries.

The fire is under investigation by NassauCounty’s fire marshal’s office and policeArson Squad.

Vin Scaduto is the Bellmore FireDepartment’s public information officer.

Eleven years ago many Town of Hempsteadresidents went to Point Lookout Beach, lookingwest toward Manhattan in horror and disbelief assmoke rose where the gleaming Twin Towersonce stood.

Since that fateful day, Hempstead TownSupervisor Kate Murray has invited residents toreturn each year for the town’s seaside 9-11Memorial Service, which includes a respectfulceremony of reflection and solace, as well as aninteractive program in honor of the victims of theSeptember 11 attacks.

Ms. Murray and the Town of Hempstead areonce again calling on residents to join them forthis year’s 9-11 ceremony, the largest on LongIsland, which is being held on Tuesday,September 11, at 7:30 a.m. at Town Park PointLookout.

“The beach at Town Park Point Lookout hastraditionally served as a place of peace and tran-quility for town residents during their time ofreflection upon the events of 9-11,” statedSupervisor Murray. “We invite all residents tojoin us on September 11 at 7:30 a.m. to remem-ber the victims and honor their legacy.”

A major component of the town’s 9-11 ceremo-ny will be interactive, including a 35-foot longmural of the New York City skyline and a 15-foottall shadow box image of the TwinTowers. At the conclusion of the ceremo-ny, residents can write messages, prayersand the names of victims on the mural.

Residents are also invited to cast whitecarnations – provided by Dee’s Nurseryof Oceanside and Stop & Shop super-markets – upon a reflecting pool at thebase of a 30-foot piece of steel from theWorld Trade Center. A viewing bridgewill traverse the pool and beam.

Many local organizations will takepart in the 9-11 ceremony. American flagarches will be erected by the Levittown,Point Lookout-Lido, Woodmere and

Seaford Fire Departments. And, the GregorianConsortium of Kellenberg Memorial HighSchool in Uniondale will perform musical selec-tions during the service. A dove release andremarks by clergy will also be part of a powerfuland poignant program.

The town thanks Dee’s Nursery of Oceanside,Stop & Shop supermarkets, the Salvation Armyand Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology for their partici-pation in this year’s event.

September 11 falls on a Tuesday this year. Ms.Murray explained that many residents in pastyears have come to the town’s 9-11 memorial topay their respects before work. The memorialwill be open to the public starting at 7 a.m. toaccommodate those who wish to pay theirrespects before the start of the workday.

“I would like to invite all residents to join us atTown Park Point Lookout to honor the memoryand carry on the legacy of those lost onSeptember 11, 2001,” concluded SupervisorMurray.

Sgt. Schmaeling said officers weredispatched. This individual has theproper credentials, and is licensed to godoor-to-door and solicit alarm sales, headded.

However, he said a great tip for residentswho are concerned over an individual sell-ing alarms or any other home services suchas roofing, siding, etc., is to simply saywhen asked if they are interested that theyrent, they do not own the home.

This, he said, usually gets rid of salepeo-ple who realize they aren’t going to sell aroof to people only renting a home.

Sgt. Schmaeling said petty larceny ofitems from parked cars continues to be aproblem. He said if you see someonesuspicious call 911. He advised residentsto keep car doors locked, and not toleave purses or GPS devices in the car.

He said to be careful to also removemarks made by GPS suction cups fromthe windshield. He said well-lit homes,especially those with motion sensorlights, also help to deter crime.

Mepham kicks off 75thby Vince Proto

From its start in 1979, the Mepham HighSchool Alumni Association has providedgifts to Mepham with the goal of enhanc-ing and enriching the school’s heritage.

On Sunday, September 9, from 1-3 p.m.,please join with the Alumni Association asit commences Mepham’s 75th Anniversarywith a Kick-Off celebration featuring a rib-bon-cutting ceremony to dedicate its latestgift – the library restoration.

The program begins in the school’s audi-torium with remarks by Mepham PrincipalMichael Harrington, Alumni AssociationPresident Carol Farina Kilgallin ’72, andMepham teachers and students. Mephamgraduates of the early years and the AlumniAssociation’s Who’s Who and MeritoriousService Award honorees will be recog-nized.

The Mepham Jazz Band and/or Choralegroup will entertain the crowd. At this joy-ous celebration you can also view the audi-torium’s magnificent mural map, whichwas restored with Alumni Associationfunding in 2007.

What has made Mepham great? Thebuilding’s beautiful, unique architecture,and the dedicated teachers, administratorsand coaches come to mind. According toClare Eastwood Worthing, ’46, editor ofthe Alumni Association’s publications,“the education I received gave me every-thing I needed to build my future…and Imade good friendships that Icherish…Mepham is a connecting link forme to this day.” Tom Blank, ’56, added,“all the work ethics and social graces they(teachers) imparted to us still remain.”

Perhaps Roger Mansell, ’53, an AlumniAssociation Who’s Who Honoree, said itbest in 1997: “Great schools have great

leaders…every activity became an equalsearch for excellence…the striving forexcellence became the standard ratherthan the exception.”

I would agree, and years ago withMepham spirit and Pirate pride I donateda skull and crossbones banner with thewords “Commitment To Excellence” thatcontinues to be displayed at many schoolevents.

Following the “Once A Pirate, AlwaysA Pirate” philosophy, my son Nick Proto,’04, composed what Mepham means tohim:Preserving tradition by uncovering thepastInspiring intellectual achievement andcuriosityRecognizing and enriching the worth ofthe individualAlways committed to excellenceTreasuring our teachers and coaches, pastand presentEducating our leaders of tomorrowSportsmanship displayed season afterseason

The Library Refurbishment was madepossible by generous alumni donations, andthe dedicated officers, board of directorsand other alumni who volunteer their serv-ices to help make Mepham what it is today.

One such officer and my longtimefriend Frank Setteducati, ’70, (MephamAlumni Association corresponding secre-tary), emphasized “the building’s historyand its active alumni enable me to relate toand interact with so many different gener-ations who share at least one thing in com-mon – W.C. Mepham High School. Myexistence is all the richer for it.”

Vince Proto, ’70, is the Mepham AlumniAssociation’s treasurer.

ifeMepham.org showcases Mepham’s storied history

by JoAnn Lee DeLauter

The Mepham Alumni websiteMepham.org could be described ashistorical, spirited and informative inits breadth to keep the Mepham com-munity alive.

The website features upcomingevents, plenty of historical resourcesand the “then and now” of what someconsidered to be the best four years oftheir lives. With contact through17,000 alumni and counting, theMepham Alumni Association is to bethanked for what the school has nowbecome, and the combination of tradi-tion and spirit that they have instilledin the bricks of Mepham’s foundation.

Their most anticipated upcomingevent is the 75th AnniversaryCelebration. Seventy-five years earlierthe first freshman class walked into anew school building in September 8,1937. Years later the same people, aswell as all other alumni, are welcometo join for the celebration of 75 years.

Festivities begin on Saturday,September 8, where all are invited fora picnic in Wantagh Park. It all con-tinues the next day, Sunday,September 9, in the auditorium, wheremusic will be performed and speakerswill share news about future programsbefore enjoying light refreshmentsand a school tour including the newlyrestored library.

This all leads up to the weekendcelebration starting on Friday,September 14, starting at 6 p.m.where students will be joined withpast alumni to enjoy Friday night witha girls and boys soccer match and aspirited pep rally in between.

The celebration closes with a morn-ing homecoming parade, footballgame against town rivals Kennedyand the 75th carnival celebration onSaturday, September 15. This truly

shows the support of the alumni andthe spirit that Mepham still has 75years after it opened.

One of their most recent projects isthe sponsorship of the preservation of

the school library. The room grandeurwill be restored to its fullest as one ofthe alumni’s gifts to the building.

Water and heat damage will be thefocus of what the project addressees,as well as the intensive stripping andcleaning to restore it. This projectpays attention to detail and restore thedamage of the arches, columns andfine wood work.

With budget cuts and all of themoney going toward the education ofthe students, the preservation of thebuilding’s structure falls against pri-ority but thanks to the AlumniAssociation the funds for this projectwas possible. The ribbon will be cutand the unveiling of this restorationproject will be on Sunday, September9, during the 75th AnniversaryCelebration.

Exploring Mepham.org openssomething new with every “click” ofthe page. It also features donatingopportunities for scholarships andgifts to the school, class reuniondates, Mepham history resources suchas the 1942 student handbook or arecording of the 1976 concert choir,and much more.

Other publications presented by theMepham alumni are the annual maga-zine, Scuttlebutt and newsletter,Quarterdeck.

Alumni are a huge part of not onlywhat makes up the Mepham commu-nity but the Bellmore community aswell – and for that we thank them!

JoAnn Lee DeLauter is a senior atMepham who is also the editor of TheBuccaneer school newspaper.
