History in the making?MORE AT HOME: This architecturally sound vernacular-style house is rep-resentative of the bay houses that dotted the Bellmore landscape in the

early 20th Centur y, reflecting the bay culture of those who made a livingon the bays. Bellmore Life photo by Douglas Finlay

When you drive up Bellmore Avenuefrom Merrick Road perhaps you’ll soonbe peering into a little bit of officialBellmore history. The Town ofHempstead’s Landmark PreservationCommission has greenlighted the StevensHome at 2396 Bellmore Avenue for land-mark status.

The Hempstead Town Board will getthe recommendation within the next threemonths, and vote on it. If no one conteststhe commission’s decision, the house willofficially become the third house inBellmore to be landmarked. The othertwo landmarked homes are The Bedellhouse on South St. Marks Avenue and theold schoolhouse on Orange Street.

Hempstead Town Clerk Mark Bonilla,

a Bellmore resident, wrote a letter to thecommission recommending the home forlandmark status. County Legislator DaveDenenberg supported its landmark statusby appearing on behalf of several resi-dents, including Christine Keller andSusan Salem – who both applied for thelandmark status last year.

Had the architecturally sound vernacu-lar-style bungalow not been granted land-mark status, it could have been demol-ished in favor of new homes.

Family integral to Bellmore historyIn the landmark commission’s unani-

mous 5-0 decision made last month, itsaid that the Stevens family, owners ofthe house, played an integral part in thedevelopment of the history of Bellmoreand the Town of Hempstead. It added that“The Stevens house is representative ofthe pride of the people of the communityof Bellmore as an important part of theirheritage preserved through a historicallandmark, signifying the major contribu-tions of the Stevens family in the devel-opment of the history of Bellmore and theTown of Hempstead.”

Dave Weiss, attorney and fiduciary forthe Stevens estate, said that with statusnow bestowed up the house, “The onlybuyer I have at present [a developer] willdrop his offer of $275,000, and there is lit-tle money left” from the estate to sustainthe property.

He said the next step is that the housewould become derelict – and beneficiar-ies would receive nothing, against thewishes of Joan Stevens, the last remain-ing family member to live in the house.

However, Ms. Keller, who is ecstaticover the landmark status, told BellmoreLife that Mr. Weiss had originally told thecommission at an earlier hearing therewere enough funds in the estate to keep itsolvent through the end of 2012.

She asserted that there are interestedbuyers. She noted during last month’slandmark commission meeting that a per-son was interested in purchasing thehome and had the cash. But the develop-er, who had a contract to buy the home,contracted with National Grid to “winter-ize” the home, which tore up portions ofthe front yard to turn off gas valves.

Spring Issuecoming March 21!

The Stevens house is landmarked

The actions disheveled large portionsof the front yard, raising questions aboutthe house’s aesthetic and its livabilitywith the potential buyer.

“I am pleased with the commission’sdecision to move forward towards land-marking the Stevens house. It is excitingto think of all the possibilities this historicproperty has to serve the Bellmore com-munity,” remarked Susan Salem, who,along with Ms. Keller, applied for land-mark status.

Ms. Salem is also an organic gardenernow readying the soil for Grace LutheranEvangelical Church’s new organic gar-den.

Eileen Casazza, vice-president of theBellmore Preservation Group, whichsupported landmark status, told this new-paper, “It’s absolutely fantastic! Thehouse fits the tradition of a home thatsupports a famous legacy of the baymenof Bellmore.”

She said the baymen helped build theSouth Shore of Long Island, and theBellmores. And, she said, it is a win-winfor beneficiaries because they will be partof Bellmore’s history.

Nancy Solomon, executive director ofLong Island Traditions, told BellmoreLife, “It is very gratifying that the com-mission recognized the history of seafar-ing and the people who depended on it tomake a livelihood as baymen” andbuilders of the South Shore bays.

She also thanked the commission forrecognizing the vernacular-style architec-ture of the bungalow as being worthy oflandmark status.

The ferry to High Hill BeachCharles Stevens, who build the house

in the the 1920s, developed a ferry serv-ice between Bellmore and High HillBeach (now part of Jones Beach) in theearly 1900s, which isnow the easternflank of Zach’sBay. It was record-ed that he met hiswife Pauline Anneat the BreakersHotel there.

He passed thehouse over to hisson Stan – and wifeLucy, both Joan’sparents – whobuilt his owntugboat service,ferrying suppliesaround the bays.Those supplieshelped build theRobert MosesCauseway and span,and Wantagh Parkway,among other sites in the bays.

Stan and Lucy worshiped at the QuakerMeeting House in Wantagh.

Ms. Keller told Bellmore Life in anearlier interview that she had seen thebungalow, which stands across from theparking lot of the Kutting Kraze, and wasworried it could be purchased by devel-opers.

“There was an estate sale and impor-tant books of the Stevens family and theirlinks to the community were sold to afriend of mine,” she continued.

“In those books is such a rich history ofthe family,” she said. That sparked her

interest in applying for landmark status.Mr. Weiss told the landmark commis-

sion it was his intention to find a homefor the vast collection of historical papersand artifacts documenting the Stevens

family. Charles Stevens built

another house inBellmore, which is onEastern Avenue, andlived there after givingthe house on BellmoreAvenue to his son Stan,said Ms. Keller.

Corporal Vaughan comes home to hero’s welcomeby Erin Donohue

Those stuck in traffic on theSouthern State Parkway duringFriday’s afternoon rush witnessed aseldom-seen event – North Merrick’sWenshaw Park Civic Associationthrew a parade for one of its own,Corporal Kevin P. Vaughan, an injuredmarine returning from his second tourof duty in Afghanistan.

Cpl. Vaughan, a Mepham graduate,lost one of his legs from an explosionof a roadside bomb in December. Hehas spent the last several months under-going therapy in Maryland and is nowhome on leave for about four weeks.

Oversized American flags formedarches over several firetrucks all alongJerusalem Avenue from departmentsnear and far to welcome home a hero.

Opening the evening’s ceremony waslead organizer Steven Arriaga. With thesupport of the Wenshaw civics andthose who had lent a hand, the eventcame off without a hitch.

U.S. Congressman Peter King spokefirst, presenting Cpl. Vaughan with aflag that had flown over the nation’scapital; state Senator Charles J.Fuschillo Jr. and state AssemblymanDave McDonough presented stateproclamations and the New York StateMedal of Honor; county LegislatorsDavid Denenberg and NormaGonslaves presented county declara-tions and thanked Mr. Vaughan for hisheroic efforts and sacrifice.

Town of Hempstead SupervisorKate Murray and councilmembersAngie Cullin and Gary Hudes were onhand to present a key to the Town ofHempstead and a medal of honor, aswell as a statue representing themarine in his dress uniform.

The Wenshaw civics wrapped upthe ceremony with the presentation ofthe Pat Cardinale Award, named forthe late instrumental leader of theorganization who always made herneighbors a priority.

Ms. Cardinale was a local Realtorand a person who had kept many of the

year-round traditions on the neighbor-hood going, and is credited with help-ing shape Wenshaw into the close-knitgroup it has been for many years.

In what was a very emotional andbrief speech, Corporal Vaughanremained composed and well-spokenin his gratitude. His mother Patriciaspoke of having her son back home,and how she thought every one ofthese service members should be wel-comed home with such a parade.

Reporters, photographers and televi-sion news outlets flooded the lawn onWinifred Drive, and Friday’s newscoverage and Saturday morningpapers featured the young 22-year-old’s welcome home.

It was a busy weekend for the cor-poral who thanked the crowd, hisneighbors and the veterans who foughtbefore him for all coming out to wel-come him home.

He was also spotted receiving ahero’s welcome at Sunday’s SaintPatrick’s Day Parade in Huntington.

Are you a ray of sunshine?North Merrick welcomed home one of the South

Shore’s own last week, Corporal Kevin Vaughan, aninjured Marine who was visibly touched to see how manyin his community cared. The question for many veteransis: what happens after the parades and welcomes are over?In our area, neighbors don’t forget.

For example, state Assemblyman David McDonough,who lives nearby and is a veteran himself, has gone waybeyond lip service for returning veterans. He helpedorganize a state program that gathers information on allveterans benefits – health, housing and employment – inone place. Local veterans’ organizations put a personaltouch on their support services.

This is Sunshine Week, when newspapers traditionallysalute one of the freedoms for which our armed forcesfight, the freedom of information. Freedom of Informationor “Sunshine” laws continually require a watchful defensefrom the media and concerned citizens. We cannot be ademocracy if our government operates in secret.

Interestingly enough, while the media often speaks outabout freedom of information, it seems more often it isindividual citizens like our readers who do the “FOILing,”or making formal Freedom of Information Law requests,after first asking for the information they wanted and notgetting it.

The most recent Freedom of Information request werecall our staff making was something as mundane as thenaming of local streets. However, over the years commu-nity activists have made many important requests.

Christine (Seibold) Marzigliano was constantly “FOIL-ing” information about a smelly neighbor, the Cedar Creeksewage treatment plant, and was the chairwoman of itsoversight committee. Joe Kralovich wanted to know aboutFreeport’s plans for a new electric plant.

North Merrick residents John Pinto and John Rossiwanted info about school budget lines.

Next week, it could be you, our reader, who needs infobrought to light. The Freedom of Information laws protectyour right to get and share it. If you would like to learnmore about these laws, why not try out an educationalgame at the following website:

game.sunshineweek.orgBecause, freedom of information, well, it’s more than

playing games.

Closing our police precinctsis a mistake

To Bellmore Life: I attended the legislative meeting that

closed 50% of our precincts. I testifiedand asked that the legislators not vote onthis plan. I was shocked to see that theplan was changing and evolving as I satin the chambers.

There is nothing concrete about thedetails. The vote to close the precincts isnot about saving money. Renovation

costs to the buildings and overtime havenever been factored into the plan. Sincethere was never a finalized written ver-sion of the plan to include all the details,the 177 patrol cars on the street can bereduced and put our safety at risk.

Our Problem Oriented Police (POP)will most likely be off the street and sta-tioned in the community policing cen-ters doing administrative duties. It’s asad day for Nassau County.

A night of laughterThe Sarah Grace Foundation for

Children With Cancer, Inc. will hold itsNinth Annual Night of Laughter fundraiseron Friday, March 23, at MilleridgeCottage, 585 North Broadway, Jericho.

U.S. Senator Charles Schumerannounced this week that the SurfaceTransportation Reauthorization bill toretroactively provide a tax refund forcommuting costs to January 1 of this yearwhile extending the commuter tax benefitfor one year to $240 a month will bepassed this week in the Senate.

The legislation will go to the Housenext week. “Many thought the transitbenefit was dead,” said SenatorSchumer in a press release, “but werefused to let it die.”

Last year employees, whose monthlymass transit fees were less than $230,were able to deduct the full amount oftheir commuting costs from their pay-checks, tax free, through an employerbenefit program, said Senator Schumer.

The cost is pegged to the IRS tax bene-fit that covers parking for drivers andwould be increased to $240 with theextension offered by this legislation.

Until 2009, commuters who drove towork received a greater tax break thanthose who took mass transit, includingthe LIRR. In 2009, the mass transit bene-fit was doubled from $120 to $230 permonth, creating a savings of over $1,000

per year for commuters. The benefit was supposed to be extend-

ed through 2011, but in year-end negotia-tions, Congress failed to include taxextenders in a year-end payroll tax cutdeal, remarked the senator.

With the benefits expiration there isnow a greater incentive for people todrive to work rather than take mass tran-sit, explained Senator Schumer.

If the transit benefit is extended it willcover most of the cost of a monthlyticket of $254 from Bellmore andMerrick stations to Penn Station.Without an extension of the benefit acommuter will receive the $125 benefitnow in effect, and must pay $119 inpre-tax benefits a month.

According to the Transit Center in theNew York metro area, commuters savedover $200 million last year because of thetransit benefit, and employers have savedover $45 million since the benefit wentinto effect in the New York area.Approximately 15,000 companies inNew York offer the transit benefit cover-ing more than half a million employees.

An organ donation relieves a life in distressby Patricia McKay

St. Patrick’s Day has become more oflife celebration for my family and merather than just corned beef and cabbage,and Irish soda bread – although thosetreats are included on that special day.

The luck of the Irish began for my fam-ily six years ago when I donated a kidneyto my husband who was suffering fromkidney disease. Our story was featured onthe front page of Bellmore Life andMerrick Life as an encouragement forothers in the same situation to come for-ward if they felt they could help.

At the time my husband’s kidney dis-ease was worsening, with only 10% ofhis kidneys working.

He was in end-stage renal failure andwas headed for dialysis. He was feeling illwith nausea, fatigue and constant itching.It was crucial that he receive a kidney, andwhat better day to choose than SaintPatty’s Day because “It is a lucky day.”

While I was back to work in six weeksafter my donation, my husband suffereda few complications and was out ofwork for a little more than two months.But he came through and was finallyable to return to work.

The luck of the Irish has been with usand he is working, is healthy and still liv-ing a full, productive life.

After the operation, many friendsand family came to help us with din-ners, errands and rides for my hus-band to his checkups until he wasallowed to drive himself.

We were able to give encouragement toanother person who was contemplatingdonating a kidney to a family member.They were both hesitant at first, but afterhearing our story and experience they

decided to go with it.The story now has a new twist, as

friends of ours, Michael and WendyCooper from Merrick – who graciouslyhelped us during our time of need – arenow in the similar position. Michael,being diabetic, was going into kidneyfailure after some complications. Hehad become critical, and needed a kid-ney transplant.

Wendy, his wife, was surprised to findshe was also a match for her husband. Shecouldn’t believe she was now going to gothrough the same process. She wasscared, nervous and skeptical. She askedmany questions, which I was able answerwhile giving encouragement.

The process brought back a flood ofmemories of our kidney transplant. Theone difference between my husband andMichael was that Michael was undergo-ing dialysis until the procedure. My hus-band was able to bypass that procedure.

During the months of preparation forWendy and Michael’s transplant therewere final tests to confirm that she wasindeed a match. When doctors learned shewas a definite match, she needed bloodtesting, psychological testing and otherrequired baseline tests.

I talked with Wendy many times to giveher positive encouragement. “Think posi-tive,” I said, telling her that “if it’s meantto be, then it will happen.” My husbandempathized more with Michael, sincethey were the ones who were sick.

Wendy and Michael’s day hadarrived, Thursday, March 1, which wasclose to our day of transplant: March17. Everything was set. They were ingood hands and very confident in theirteam of doctors just as we were.

They would go early in the morning toNew York Presbyterian Hospital/WeillCornell Medical Center on 68th Street inManhattan to have their kidney trans-plant-donation.

My husband and I, on the other sideof the issue now, waited anxiously tohear that everything went well. Thenews finally came that they were out ofsurgery and doing well.

We were able to talk to them the nextday. Michael couldn’t have sounded bet-ter. As my husband recalled, with a newkidney your body starts working proper-ly right away. As I spoke to Wendy shewas telling me of some pain she was hav-ing, asking me if I had the same issue.

Truthfully, I had forgotten until shementioned it. Not to be specific, thereare some pains to deal with after anysurgery, but the memories of themslowly dissolve with time.

They’ve been in recovery for twoweeks now and are as well as expected.

Michael has to go back to the hospital tobe checked weekly, monitoring hisimmunosupressant drugs he will takedaily for the rest of his life.

Eventually, it will only be a short visitfor his monthly blood work and visits tohis nephrologist. It’s a small sacrificefor a new life.

Wendy is mending, and together theytake it day by day. She says, “Some daysI feel great, others I need more rest.” Sotrue for the recovery from such a grandlife-saving operation.

Her visits to the doctor will be fewerthan Michael’s, once she is medicallycleared. She will have to visit her doc-tor at least once a year to test herremaining kidney.

Wendy’s and Michael’s doctors, coun-selors and coordinators worked togetherto make their donation process success-ful and smooth. Their friends and fam-ily gave them love, hope and encour-agement. This process is a life-savingevent and worthy of a celebration.

There must be something about theluck of the Irish. Although Wendy andMichael aren’t Irish they have had theluck passed onto them from their“Irish” friends.

Next year Wendy and Michael, and Edand I, hope to celebrate together with ourother close-knit circle of friends in honorof these special events.

We have come so far and it is a greatercause for us and our families to celebrateon St. Patrick’s Day. It’s all about who isthe lucky one and who brings the luck.

Good luck to Wendy and Michael, andhere’s to a speedy recovery.

Michael and Wendy Cooper

by Laura Schofer

The first public meeting of the newlyformed group Friends of TackapaushaMuseum and Preserve was at the SeafordPublic Library this week.

Lorraine Bondi-Goldsmith, president ofFriends of Tackapausha, told the dozen orso residents that Nassau County was look-ing to open the museum “on a limitedbasis, Wednesday through Friday. We’dlove to see it open for more hours, but we’llsee,” said Mrs. Bondi-Goldsmith. “The tar-get date to open is Earth Day, April 22.”

However, Friends counsel MichaelGoldsmith added that “there is no finalplan [regarding the opening of the muse-um]. I called the county today and was toldthe opening could be held up because cab-inets need to be installed.”

North Bellmore resident Richard Schary,president of the Friends of MassapequaPreserve and a member of the Friends ofTackapausha advisory board, replied, “Ifthe museum is not open on Earth Day, thenwe will gather in front of the museum. Theonly cabinets I know of [inside the muse-um] are in the basement,” he said.

“Our goal is to keep the museum open,”

explained Mrs. Bondi-Goldsmith. “That’swhy we are here. We want communityinvolvement. There is nothing mysteriousgoing on. We are all taxpayers. They [thecounty] approached us to help out but weneed an agreement.”

The Friends of Tackapausha Museumand Preserve is now negotiating with thecounty to “enter into a partnership agree-ment,” said Mr. Goldsmith.

“The county approached us severalmonths ago. They want us to be respon-sible to run a gift shop, be responsible forsupplies and keep the money. We’re notinterested in that. They also want us torun programs and we have members whohave knowledge,” he said, explainingthat the agreement is based on the onethe county has with the Friends ofGarvies Point in Glen Cove.

However, Mr. Goldsmith said he calledbut was told “the parks people need todraft up a list of points [to include in theagreement] and then it would go to thecounty attorney. I want to see it before itis written up so we can discuss thesepoints,” he explained.

A letter from county ParksCommissioner Carnell Foskey addressed

to Mr. Goldsmith arrived after the meet-ing. In it, Commissioner Foskeyexplained the county’s position and itsplans for the museum.

Commissioner Foskey wrote, “NassauCounty Facilities Maintenance is in theprocess of refurbishing the interiorentrance room into the museum. Repairsinclude ceiling work and painting. The newexhibit cabinets that were installed in thenorthern room require some adjustments,which we anticipate will be addressed inthe next few weeks. It is the intention asmentioned during the press conference afew weeks ago that we will open to thepublic on April 22.”

Board member John Budnick said theFriends were in the process of getting their“501c(3) [designation] as a nonprofit, butmust also first get the certificate of incor-poration that will also be reviewed by theNew York State Education Department.We also need to draft our constitution andby-laws,” he said.

The county has invested $1.8 millioninto Tackapausha Museum and Preserve,said Mr. Goldsmith, who reviewed some ofthe financial information provided to theFriends by the county. The 2006 environ-mental bond provided $500,000 towardsrefurbishment of this site, including thecreation of an outdoor classroom.

Expenses for Tackapausha in 2011 were$164,449, but revenues were $10,714,thereby incurring a net loss of $153,735.

“This should not be defined as a loss buta cost,” said Mr. Schary. “Museums don’tmake money anywhere in the UnitedStates. That’s not what they are for.”

Mrs. Bondi-Goldsmith agreed. “Ourtaxes help to run this museum. They arenot there to make a profit. We pay an awfullot to live here, and it’s places likeTackapausha or Bethpage [Park] where wecan escape for a while and enjoy nature.This is what they provide to us and that’swhy we pay for it in our taxes,” she said.

“We are keepers of open space,” saidLisa Schary, an advisory board member tothe Friends. “Land is at a premium here.The South Shore [of Long Island] hasbeen dumped on for too long. We musttake ownership. We must tell the countywe want this land preserved and themuseum open. We need the community tojoin us and keep this in the hands of thecounty and not privatized.”

Residents were urged to call eitherCommissioner Carnell Foskey at 572-0216, or Legislator Dennis Dunne at 572-6215, whose legislative district encom-passes Tackapausha Museum. LegislatorDunne has stated that he supports keep-ing the museum accessible to the public.
