St. Patrick's Parade and CelebrationThe history of the parade is a celebration of the pride in the heritage the Irish people took with them when they came to settle in America from Ireland. The first St. Patrick's Parade in Bethpage took place in 1992. This parade and celebration has special significance to the people of Bethpage as friend and neighbor, Cornelius (Connie) Doolan, was chosen to lead the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade up 5th Avenue in New York City as the Grand Marshall. This pride spilled over in the Bethpage Community when prominent members of our community, Jim Leddy and John Coumatas, of the Central Park Inn (presently known as B. K. Sweeney's), discussed the possibility to bring the same pride demonstrated on 5th Avenue, New York City to Broadway, Bethpage. The idea took form and grew. Anne, wife of Connie, suggested that the parade should take place after a mass at St. Martin of Tours Church on Central Avenue. The same way it starts off after a mass in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Now that the parade and celebration was agreed upon, a committee was formed to ensure the success of the events. The people responsible were: Jim Leddy, Syl Nugent, Bill McConnell, Michael Horan, John O'Hara, Cathy Bretton, and John Coumatas. Now, proudly on March 1, 1992, after the 12:30 Mass, celebrated by Rev. George Keaveney, the first St. Patrick's Parade stepped off and marched down Central Avenue to Burkhard Street on to Broadway proudly passed the reviewing stand. The subsequent years many prominent residents lent their expertise and time to the continuation of this event. They are: Jack and Mary McCaffrey, Eileen Horan, Maureen Minnet, Patricia Asterita, Kevin Connors, Francis Looney, Bill McCabe, Mary Ann McGrath, Maureen O'Brien, John Joyce and many others. Without their dedication there would be no parade. Since the first St. Patrick Parade, led by our first Grand Marshal, Cornelius (Connie) Doolan, in 1992, Bethpage has continued the tradition with the following distinguished Grand Marshals: 1993- Rev. George Keaveney, 1994 - Jack McCaffrey, 1995 - Rev. John Murray, 1996 - William Quigley, 1997 - Syl Nugent, 1998 - John O'Hara, 1999 - Francis B. Looney, 2000 - John Sullivan, 2001 - Mary McCaffrey, 2002 - Bill McCabe, 2003 - Mike Horan, 2004 - Frank DeBobes, 2005 - Gary Bretton, 2006 - John Joyce, 2007 - John Coumatas and Kevin McCabe. They all led with great pride reflecting the strong tradition of the values that have been handed down and entrusted to them.

Schiavetta, DelphineGrew 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 roomate 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 a 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 and Mrs. Lacker, Evelyn Rozzi and George McElroy. She was delighted when Pine Avenue opened its doors which was a beautiful new school.

Schwendler, William (Bill) (April 1904-January 1978)Mr. Schwendler was one of the founders of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation and has been active in its affairs since the company first opened its doors for business in January 1930, in a small rented garage in Baldwin, Long Island. From his graduation from NYU in 1924 until his death he devoted his energies to the profession he knew and liked and did best, aircraft design. From 1930 to 1950 his emergence as the chief designer of an engineering and manufacturing team that produced the F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, TBF Avenger, and F9F Panther. He designed the first practical retractable landing gear for an amphibious float, and followed that up by designing the first retractable gear for a fighter - the Grumman FF-1. In the beginning of World War II Mr. Schwendler stated, "We were going to build an airplane that nobody could shoot down. That was our philosophy. Some of them did break up, of course, but I think we had the reputation of building a pretty strong machine. So the "GRUMMAN IRON WORKS" grew out of our design philosophy." Mr. Schwendler always had the time to talk with the employees and it was out of that philosophy, and being a small group, there was an opportunity for them to talk with anybody on the floor and they could talk to us. It was considered a shirt sleeve organization and that was the beginning of what was later known as their "open-door policy. In 1940 Mr. Schwendler had been elected vice president, and at the close of the war he was elected executive vice president. Customer inquiries for the Grumman Goose, Widgeon, and Mallard put Grumman back into the commercial business, and Mr. Schwendler was chairman of the corporation's executive committee and was credited with being the "guiding light" for the new project, the Grumman Gulfstream I prop-jet, executive transport. Later the twin-jet Gulfstream II proved a very worthy successor. George Skurla, chairman and president of Grumman Aerospace, called Mr. Schwendler "the chief architect of our design excellence that has become the hallmark and heritage of Grumman. He wasn't concerned only with technical applications; in a very quiet way he was a real humanitarian who demonstrated his concern over the years for all Grumman people."

St. Martin of ToursSt. Martin of Tours Roman Catholic Church is located on the north side of Central Avenue between Broadway and Seaman Avenue. On October 21, 1923 the first mass was offered by the founding Pastor Daniel A. Dwyer at the Republican Clubhouse on Broadway. Until that time, parishioners attended mass at St. Killian's Church in Farmingdale or St. Ignatius Church in Hicksville. It was just about a month when Pastor Dwyer officiated at the first wedding of his newly established parish. The wedding that joined Antonio Finamore and Stella Ruggiero in Holy Matrimony was held at Msgr. Dwyer's residence on Herman Avenue on November 18, 1923. On March 21, 1924 ground was broken to commence the building of St. Martin of Tours Church and in that same year, on November 9, 1924 the new church was dedicated. St. Martin of Tours Church has been blest with each passing decade to have Pastors and Curates who have been so much a part of the success in the development and spiritual life of the parish. The growth of the parish community resulted in the building of the school, which was dedicated on December 8, 1957 and again the beautiful enlargement of the Church which was dedicated September 2, 1996. St. Martin of Tours' parish has grown from a handful of parishioners in the '20s to about 3,300 parish families in the '60s and going into the millennium with 4,500 parish families. Fr. Thomas Siconolfi of the Redemptionist Community has been Pastor of St. Martin of Tours since August 1999 assisted by the Redemptionists Fathers Vincent Crotty, Thomas Schmitt and John Patton. At this time, the church has three deacons: James Biggin, Eugene Capobianco and Frank Carrelo.With the restructuring of the diocesan school system, the school is now known as the LaSalle Regional School with campuses in Bethpage, and Farmingdale, serving the parishes of St. James R.C. Church, St. Killian R.C. Church, St. Martin of Tours, R.C. Church and St. Pius R.C. Church. In January 2004 the closing of St. Martin of Tours school was announed. About ten years ago due to raising salaries, benefits, insurance, utilities, etc. together with a decline in the number of students, the four parishes of our region (St. Killian, St. Pius, St. James and St. Martin of Tours) acted to preserve Catholic Education by combining their four schools into one school but on two sites, one in Farmingdale and the other site in Bethpage called LaSalle Regional Catholic School. This process, called Regionalization, was the norm for many parishes on the Island. At present, in 2004, there are 164 St. Martin of Tours parish families who attend the school. The number of students after the first regionalization was 819, but has dwindled down to 459 at present. This reality forced the School Board, consisting of the four pastors, with four parents as voting members, who meet with the two principals, two teachers and four parish financial representative to go through a difficult process. After weighing several options the School Board concluded that the continuation of the school in its current format would lead to greater deficits and finally bankrupt the school completely. The School Board has acted very reluctantly to save the school by closing St. Martin of Tours and thus cut duplicate expense. The real cost to educate one of our children in Catholic School is $6,000.00 per child. The four parishes subsidize the school with a combined $600,000.00 per year. The school building will still be used by the more than sixteen hundred parish children who in four different sessions attend religious instruction each week.

St. Martin of Tours SchoolThe Sisters of Mercy from Dallas, PA, came to St. Martin's Parish during the summer of 1955 to make preparations for the opening the school in September. The principal and six teaching Sisters arrived. They started with grades 1, 2 and 3 (2 classes of 60 students in each class) and each year added on another grade until the first graduating class in 1961 with 120 graduates. In 1972 Sister Magdala Wallace and Sister Mary Frances Conrad joined the community. At that time, there were 11 Sisters and 14 lay teachers in the school. Sisters Magdala and Mary Frances were involved with the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders teaching math, English, religion and music. In September 1982, Sister Magdala was given the responsibility of principal of the school. Sister Mary Frances was the 7th and 8th grade math teacher. At the close of the school year 2004, Sister Magdala and Sister Mary Frances will leave the parish and return to their Mother Province in Pennsylvania.

St. Paul's Lutheran ChurchIn 1923 Philip Schaaf, Charles Hencken, John Klug, Henry Sengstacken, George Benkert, Adolf Wagner and their families organized St. Paul's Lutheran Church using the old Bethpage Fire House as a meeting place. A year later the present church building on Stewart Avenue was erected. The parish house was added in l955. A lightning bolt hit the church around 6:30pm on 6/27/02. No one was inside the church at the time, but seven firefighters were injured and transported to local hospitals. Chief Brian Wall of the Bethpage Fire Department said, "we have a partial collapse in the rear of the building and the building's roof and organ pipes suffered the most damage. The beautiful stained glass window, and the stone wall are still intact. On February 8th, 2004 St. Paul's Lutheran Church celebrated the Official Ground Breaking of the Remodeling/Renovation of their church. It has been roughly 20 months since lightning struck the church on June 22, 2002. The contractor has now completed the demolition of the interior of the church, which suffered damage from fire, smoke, and water. The roof over the Parish Hall has been removed in preparation for a delivery of steel that will allow a second floor to be added. In addition, the 80 year old building will be brought up to code and add some valuable upgrades for handicap accessibility, a sprinkler system and most important a lightning suppression system.

St. Vincent de Paul259 Broadway, Bethpage, NY In 1931 the Nassau-Suffolk branch of St. Vincent dePaul Society was founded and its Central Council Office, of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, is happily located in our little village of Bethpage in the former bank building. It is next to the parking lot adjacent to the handsome new store building of the St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Shop (249 Broadway). Collecting, selling, distributing new and second hand clothing, furniture, books, artifacts of every description is a small function of this fine charitable organization non-sectarian activities. The Society recognized the needs of the sick, crippled and homeless and its arms have always been extended to the handicapped and the aged. Today, it not only cares for those who seek its bounty, but has expanded its services to offer shelter, hope and employment to all segments of the community. Self respect and dignity are the cherished hope of so many unfortunates among us and that is what the Society strives to convey to those who seek its assistance, regardless of religion, color or ethnic origins------with open arms. The key to a person's self esteem and pride is held in his ability to support himself and work. (Taken from "Leo's Lines" BETHPAGE TRIBUNE, January 24, 1980) |

Sterling Center - 11/16/1989Grumman Corp. announced its plan to the Bethpage Community for the development of 200 acres of its Bethpage site as an office, hotel, retail center. Time has come when test flying planes was coming to an end and the existing runways were to be closed. It is time to think about how best to develop this land for the benefit of Grumman and the community. Grumman would be acting as the anchor tenant and would remain the owner of this 200 acre plot which is a subdivision of their 600 acre site. At least six five star corporations are interested in this endeavor. The Bethpage community voice strong opposition for this proposal citing concerns over the plans for the hotel, traffic and safety, retail space impacting our downtown, the effect on property values, and quality of life in Bethpage. After extensive research and the largest environmental impact study in the State of New York the project never took off. In 1994 the Northrop Corporation of California purchased Grumman, and eventually the property was sold for various business. Today senior citizen housing, Sunnylane and Apollo, are located on what was once the Grumman runways.

He stayed there until 1989, when he joined the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as chief of its Meteorological Operations Division in Camp Springs. He wrote a book with colleague Paul Kocin on Northeast snowstorms, "Snowstorms Along the Northeastern Coast of the United States, 1955-85". In 1993, he was recognized with a Department of Commerce Gold Medal for forecasting the "Storm of the Century" which hit in mid-March of that year. That storm dumped unprecedented amounts of snow from Alabama to Maine, killing 270 people. Louis claims it was the first time in the history of the weather service that a snowstorm was predicted five days in advance. Information from THE HOWARD COUNTY TIMES March 11, 1999.

U.S. Golf Open Championship 2002The date is June 10th - June 16. The Bethpage State Park, Black Course, will host the U. S. Open Golf Championship. It will be the first time this 102 year old USGA prestigious tournament will be held on a public golf course which charges a fee no higher than $39.00 for 18 rounds of golf. It was announced in 1996 at a press conference held on the 1st tee. Present were Governor Pataki, David Frey (executive director of the United States Golf Association), Parks Commissioner Bernadette Castro, and other dignitaries. The Black Course opened in 1936, four years after the park itself, and is commonly known as a notoriously challenging course designed by A. W. Tillinghast. Yearly 35,000 chose to play the Black Course taking 4 ½ to 5 ½ hours to complete the 18 holes, now improvements are needed to host the Open. Rees Jones, golf course architect, was commissioned to prepare the course for play. Mr. Jones donated his services and the USGA footed the $2.8 million bill for labor and equipment for the ten month restoration project. New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation headed by Commissioner Bernadette Castro, pledged to maintain the renovations. Among the hundreds improvements some are: laser-leveled refurbished greens, irrigation system, restored bunkers with 8,100 tons of new sand, and wrought-iron benches on slate base with the tee sign replicating those from decades past. There are new locker rooms, new walkways, and lighting outside the clubhouse, new facilities for dining and shopping. The 66 year old clubhouse interior has been redone while maintaining the historic charm. Carlyle on the Green, Steve Carl and Arthur Waldbaum (yes, from the famous supermarket family) are responsible for this renovation. Arthur Waldbaum is no longer involved, Steve Carl runs the catering facility and A. W. Stevens the dining facility. The pro shop run by Global Golf was revamped into one of the nations largest at a cost of more than 1 million dollars. Jonathan Barker, manager of the 2002 U. S. Open, claims 4,800 volunteers have been recruited. David C. Catalano, Superintendent of The Bethpage State Park, will be proud to host the greatest tournament in the world in 2002.
