LIVING IN OCEANSIDE Originally known as South Bay, the English government established a township in what is now Oceanside in 1674, called Christian Hook, basing the name on the predominant religious affiliation of residents in the area.

Land development came rapidly, and oyster sales took their place as a dominant force, with the local business "Mott's Landing" becoming a favorite place to buy oysters. In terms of appeal to oyster customers, it was decided that "Oceanville" sounded better than "Christian Hook": it was "Oceanville Oysters" that sold, and in 1864, the new name became official. However, there was already an Oceanville in New York, so "Ocean Side," as two words, was adopted as the town's name in 1890. The name was condensed to "Oceanside" in 1918.

The Oceanside Fire Department was established in 1902. Columbia Engine Co. #1, an old firehouse, still exists, and is located at the southwest corner of the triangle where Lincoln Avenue meets Long Beach Road.

The last farm in the community was demolished in 1997.

Oceanside's first school was built around 1838 on the northwest corner of Oceanside and Foxhurst Roads. It only had one room and an attic. The structure still stood as of 1960, but was moved and is now a private dwelling. The land where the school once stood is now known as the Schoolhouse Green, where many school events are held. Oceanside schools have adopted numerical names, 1 through 9. School #1 was razed in 1981. Today, Schools #2-5, 8 and 9E are elementary schools, School #6 is a kindergarten center, School #7 is a high school, and #9M serves as the middle school. School #9 bears the name of Walter Boardman.

Presently, Phyllis Harrington is Superintendent of the school district, recently replacing Dr. Herb Brown who retired at the end of last year’s school year. Previous superintendents were Elliot Garfunkel, Walter S. Boardman and S. Taylor Johns.

The Oceanside schools have become one of the major forces in the community. The school district not only runs the schools, but the Department of

Theresa Press/Herald

Sofia Kenn, 3, raced onto the School #6 field last April to gather as many Easter eggs as her basket would hold.

Community Affairs as well. The DOCA runs community programs, programs for seniors and after-school programs at the district’s facilities. The school district has become the center of community involvement in Oceanside; much like a village government or particular religious institution is the center of activities in other communities.

Over the years, there have been many famous and notable people who were either Oceanside natives or residents for a time.

Included in that list are Glenn Gordon Caron: writer, director and producer; Steve Cohen, current general manager of the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Mets minor league executive of the year; Diane Farr, an actress and writer associated with such shows as “Rescue Me,” and “Numb3rs;” Jay Fielder, former NFL quarterback with several teams, including the New York Jets;

Susie Fishbein, the author of several Kosher cookbooks; Stephen Friedman, chairman of the Presidents Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board; Art Heyman, standout college and professional basketball player; Robert Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Company; Norman Lent, a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives; Dennis Leonard, member of the Kansas City Royals baseball team’s Hall of Fame; Thomas Masaryk, considered the “Father of Czechoslovakia,” who lived in Oceanside during his exile in 1918; Astronaut Michael James Massimino; Al Trautwig, sportscaster; Ernie Vandeweghe, former New York Knicks star and the father of NBA player and executive Kiki Vandeweghe; and Harold Varmus, recipient of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology and medicine Today, Oceanside has become a magnet for the surrounding area with its attractive shops and restaurants.

LIVING IN ISLAND PARK

Penny Frondellio/Herald

The Switch performed classic and current covers at the Masone Park Picnic in September.

The small island between the mainland of Long Island and the city of Long Beach has been known by many names: Hog Island, Barnum Island and Jekyl Island. Today, the entity is known as Island Park, while two of its smaller subdivisions — Barnum Island and Harbor Isle — remain semi-separate as political divisions.

According to the Census, the village has a total area of 0.4 square miles. The village of Island Park is bordered on the west by a man-made canal running parallel to Suffolk Road. Its north, east, and southern border is delineated by the rails of the Long Beach Branch of the Long Island Rail Road. The Island Park LIRR station provides commuters with a direct link to New York City.

In the 2010 Census, 4,655 people are reported as living in the Village of Island Park.

The median income for residents in Island Park is $74,500 a year and the median age is 40.8 years.

Of the 4,655 residents, 3,170 (68.1 percent) are white. Hispanics number 1,234, blacks 64, and Asians 115.

Twenty-one percent of the village’s residents are under the age of 18, while 18.8 percent are over the age of 65.

In the 2010 Census, 1,301 people are reported as living in Harbor Isle, a section of the Village of Island Park.

The median income for the residents

in Harbor Isle is $135,341 a year and the median age is 47.0.

Of the 1,301 residents, 1,178 (90.5 percent) are white, while 77 are Hispanic, four are black and 21 are Asian.

Twenty percent are under the age of 18, while 18.8 percent are over the age of 65. In the 2010 Census, 2,414 people were reported as living on Barnum Island, a section of the Village of Island Park.

The median income for residents of Barnum Island is $85,759 a year and the median age is 47.0.

Of those residents, 1,914 (79.3 percent) are white, 377 are Hispanic, 64 are Asian and 22 are black.

Seventeen percent are under the age of 18, while 19.8 percent are over the age of 65.

The great majority of residents (nine percent) in the three communities work in retail or wholesale sales. Five percent work in health and education, while nearly four percent work in the construction trades. Five percent of the residents consider themselves as professionals.

Nearly 40 percent of the residents in those communities are high school graduates, with fifteen percent holding bachelor’s or associate’s degrees and eight percent holding graduate degrees.

The estimated home or condominium value in the Island Park communities is $451,352. The median rent was

$1,502.

There are two schools in Island Park, the Lincoln Orens Middle School and one elementary school. High School students may opt to attend either Long Beach High School to the west or West Hempstead High School to the north.

Politically, Island Park is almost evenly split politically in terms of registration, but in 2008, Republican John McCain won the village with 73 percent of the vote defeating Democrat Barack Obama who received 27 percent of the vote.

The Island Park Fire Department responds to calls in the village of Island Park. The village public works department provides refuse pickup and above-ground infrastructure support for the village. The Island Park Post Office (11558), serves the village of Island Park.

Notable residents include Steve Hass, considered by many to be a top drummer and former Senator Alfonse D’Amato, who served as a Senator from New York from 1981 to 1999 and who still lives in the community.

Island Park is an incorporated village within the Town of Hempstead.

It’s mayor is Michael McGinty and the village hall is located at 127 Long Beach Road in Island Park. Village Board meetings are held the third Thursday of each month at 8 p.m. in the Justice Courtroom at Village Hall.

OCEANSIDE SCHOOLS

Eric Dunetz/Herald

The seniors were the winners in Oceanside High School’s annual Battle of the Classes on Jan. 11.

The Oceanside School District occupies 17.3 square miles and includes parts of Baldwin and Rockville Centre. There are six elementary schools that enroll students up to the sixth grade. There is one middle school (grades 7 and 8), and one senior high school.

Adjacent to the district’s administrative offices is the Merle Avenue complex, which houses the school district’s Department of Community Activities and Oceanside Counseling Center. On the Merle grounds are the school district’s own botanical garden, tennis courts, a soccer field and a track.

Christian Hook (later Oceanside) became school district No. 11 in 1833.

The first school, which existed from 1842-1880, was located at the northwest corner of Oceanside and Foxhurst Roads.

This school consisted of one room, with an attic. Later, the Town of Hempstead made Oceanside a “common school district” and in 1899 it became the Ocean Side Union Free School District Number 11. At that time the district serviced Atlantic Beach, Point Lookout, Island Park and Long Beach.

In 1925, the Board of Education sought to obtain the status of a “Village Superintendency.” All of Nassau County

was divided into two districts. Each district was headed by a superintendent who was responsible for reporting to the commissioner on matters in all districts under his jurisdiction. When these districts acquired a population in excess of 4,500, they could become independent units with their own superintendent.

Oceanside was, at this time, following a pattern established in other communities such as Rockville Centre, Freeport and Baldwin. The district still maintains the form of administration it began over 65 years ago.

ISLAND PARK SCHOOLS

Kristie Arden/Herald

Ava Acovino and Jarred Moore got off the bus ready for the first day of kindergarten last September.

Until 1924, children who lived in Island Park traveled to Oceanside to go to school. The first local school was established in 1927, serving children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades; total enrollment was 50 youngsters. Younger children were taught in a storefront on Long Beach Road. It was quickly found that these schools were too small. In the three years that passed between the decision to build the school and its actual construction, several new families moved to Island Park.

And so, in 1928, construction of a new brick school was undertaken. Two years later it was dedicated and christened the Radcliffe Road School. There were five classrooms, a library room and offices. After World War II, Island Park, like other parts of the country, was caught in the suburban explosion. Many more families came to Island Park and new homes were built almost every day. Eight rooms and a gym were added to the Radcliffe School. Even this addition proved too little, and in 1954 an entire second story was added that held more classrooms, a science/home economics room, and an industrial arts room. There were 500 students.

But by 1959 there were 982 students, and it was voted to purchase more land in the Barnum Island area for another school. The building would contain the Audobon School for children in K-6, and the Island Park Junior High School.

In the late 1960s the Radcliffe Road School was renamed the Francis X. Hegarty School. The junior high was renamed the Lincoln Orens School. The Hegarty School educates students from pre-kindergarten through the third grade. The Lincoln Orens School is home to students from fourth to sixth grades, and middle school students in the seventh and eighth grades. Prior to 1967, Island Park high school students went to Oceanside High School. Ever since then, they have attended West Hempstead High School. Students in Island Park now have the choice to attend either West Hempstead High School or Long Beach High School.

ISLAND PARK LIBRARY If you look at the contents of your wallet, you would find the most valued item is your library card! It is the most valuable, yet it is free. Your library card opens up windows to a larger world. It provides access to a gold mine of books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, computers, the Web and great customer service to help you find what you need.

As part of our Youth Services, we offer Storytimes, Baby and Me programs, Summer Reading Clubs and crafts, which open the door to learning, imagination and wonder. The Library helps children do well in school by making material available that supports our schools’ curriculum, as well as offering materials and programs that are fun and educational. We have programs in chess, classes in dance, watercolor, cooking, crafts, SAT preparation, as well as materials across all subject areas studied in school.

For our Adult Services we have handicraft classes, computer classes for beginners, exercise, knitting, photography, defensive driving and many others. This fall we will be having an opera presentation, a writing workshop, Table Theater, and a financial workshop to name a few. One of the reasons many of our adult patrons use the library is to obtain the latest bestsellers. Another is the pursuit of lifelong learning. The fact that we live in a world that is constantly changing, places the Library in a unique position to be able to assist in adapting to that world by offering accurate and up-to-date information on health, careers, legal and financial issues, the arts, technology and current events, to name a few areas.

The Library also opens doors of opportunity for our new Americans. In conjunction with our School District, we offer English for Speakers of Other Languages classes. We also have videos, tapes and books on learning English and getting to know American culture.

The Library offers Special Services through our Homebound Service for those unable to come to the Library, and enables those with limited sight to obtain audio books through

our Talking Books program. We partner with various agencies to provide information about the new Medicare Part D, assessments and taxes. Passports and Leisure Passes can be applied for through the Nassau County vans. In the fall we will be offering Senior Connections, which provides information for seniors.

Come in and use our computers, and learn how to take advantage of our new online catalog, set up your own account and reserve books online. Also, ask our librarians about our subscription databases that provide a vast array of information in every imaginable subject. They are available 24/7 on our webpage, www.islandparklibrary.org and can be accessed from home.

All of the above could not be accomplished without the hard work and dedication of our Library staff, whose ultimate mission is great customer service. Join your neighbors at some of our wonderful programs, sit and read quietly in our beautiful new facility and let our staff assist you in selecting material and finding information. And, if you already do not have one, come in and get the most valuable item in your wallet – your Library Card!

PARKS & RECREATION MARINE NATURE STUDY AREA 500 Slice Dr., Oceanside 11572 766-1580 Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. www.mnsa.webhop.org At first glance the Oceanside/ Island Park communities appear to be full of nothing but busy shopping districts and typical suburban residential streets. But tucked away throughout the two communities are oases of serenity. Quiet waterways dot the area, and many homes boast backyard docks. In addition, there are special places where you can get back to basics.

The Marine Nature Study Area is a 52-acre preserve of salt marshes, tidal creeks and uplands. The rich variety of plant and animal life make it an ideal learning center for all ages.

The purpose of the area is to help foster an understanding of our local natural environment and to create an awareness of its benefits to us. The pristine habitat is bounded on the south

by Middle Bay, on the east by Walls Point Creek, on the west

by Bedell’s Creek, and on the north by a housing development.

The habitat is a facility of the Town of Hempstead Department of Conservation and Waterways. The Study Area is a quiet and peaceful outdoor experience of invigorating air and breathtaking scenery, excellent for photography and observation.

Since its official opening on Earth Day in April 1970, the Marine Nature Study Area has been visited by thousands of elementary school, high school and college students who have taken advantage of the free guided tour provided. There is also a self-guided booklet for the mile of boardwalks and trails. The Interpretive Center is two buildings of galleries of preserved nature, with marine life displays and salt water aquaria featuring local species.

The study area is divided into eight instructional sections, each of which deals with a different aspect of the marine or estuarine environment. At each site visual aids are installed that describe a particular topic. Subjects covered include the

tides, Long Island’s glacial geology, barrier beach and estuarine formations, ecology of the estuary, micro and macro algae, bird life, migration, the bay community, and barrier beach fauna and flora.

In developing the study area, alteration of the salt marsh was minimal. A main path and several boardwalks were placed to enable access to the marsh while at the same time preventing damage to the fragile plants and animal life. A pond was created to attract migratory waterfowl, and a variety of plants that are beneficial to wildlife were introduced on the upland fringe.

Over 200 species of birds have been sighted with 25 nesting species.

The Marine Nature Study Area is open to the public year round 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday. It is located on Slice Drive in Oceanside. William Overton is the supervisor.

SHELL CREEK PARK 30 Vanderbilt Ave., Island Park, 11558 431-6440 Shell Creek Park was established 17 years ago, on Vanderbilt Avenue in Barnum Island. Open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the summer and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the winter, the park hosts a complete range of activities. For the athlete, a pair of basketball and paddleball courts are waiting. There are large playing fields for general use. The park lends out equipment such as footballs, jump ropes and knock-hockey tables.

A fully equipped playground is there for the kids, as well as a spray pool for frolicking. There is fishing on the bay, off the bulkhead, where snapper, flounder, fluke and blackhead can be caught, depending on the season.

Four well-kept professional tennis courts are available.

Reservations must be made because these courts are in demand.

Both the baseball fields and the tennis courts are illuminated at night for the dedicated athlete. There is no fee to use the park.

Only proof of residency is required. Supervisor is Mike Nova.

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD

NASSAU COUNTY Nassau County is governed by an elected Legislature. The Legislature is comprised of legislators from 19 districts. It includes an independent budget director who advises the Legislature on spending and revenue matters. The Legislature also enables residents to submit petitions for proposed new laws that legislators are obligated to consider. The 19 county legislators serve two-year terms.

The county executive — currently Republican Edward Mangano — serves a four-year term and is the chief administrator. Nassau also has an elected comptroller, currently George Maragos, a district attorney, Kathleen Rice, and a county clerk, Maureen O'Connell.

The Town of Hempstead, founded in 1644, is the largest township in the United States, encompassing 142 square miles with a population of approximately 760,000 people. Within the Town there are 34 unincorporated areas and 22 incorporated villages, more than 65 parks and marinas, and 2,500 miles of roads.

Under the current system, the Town of Hempstead is overseen by a town supervisor — currently Republican Kate Murray — and a six-member Town Council. The six members of the council are elected from one of six councilmatic districts. The supervisor has a two-year term, and the council members have a four-year term of office.

The supervisor serves as the chief executive officer of town government. She presides over all town board meetings, directing the legislative and administrative functions of that body. The supervisor also oversees the day-to-day operations of a municipal government of 24 major departments, employing just more than 2,100 people. As the chief financial officer of the township, the supervisor is responsible for the creation and the implementation of a town budget.

Council members are responsible for adopting the annual budget, amending the town code and the building zone ordinances, adopting all traffic regulations and hearing applications for changes of zone and special exceptions to zoning codes.
