Citizen of the Year Maria Heller
Volume VI
Issue 64
January/February 2010
Business Person of the Year
Marty Bevilacqua of Oceanville Mason Supply
The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce is proud
to honor Maria Heller as this year’s Citizen of the
Year. Maria grew up in Oceanside, married Bernard,
and raised her family here. She considers her three
children to be her greatest accomplishment. Janet,
a Rockville Centre Attorney; Ann, a Compliance
Officer at South Nassau Communities Hospital;
and Tom who trains computer science teachers
in Burlington, Vermont. Maria is a devoted
grandmother to five grandchildren: Chris, Mike, Paul, Brian and Jenna.
Maria started her work career in the late 1960’s as a teacher’s aide at
School #5. She received a Lifetime Membership from PTA for her longtime involvement with that organization. She also served 25 years as an
Oceanside 4-H leader – her home becoming a breeding ground for many
amusing animal husbandry projects, including the hatching and herding of
ducks in her dining room. And don’t even ask about the snakes, hamsters or
gerbils!
Maria is a member of the South Nassau Communities Hospital
Advocacy Board and has been active in the South Nassau Communities
Hospital Council, helping with hospital fundraising.
For many years, Maria has handled publicity for the Long Island
Charter Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association - a national
women’s association that promotes networking and secures scholarships for
deserving women. She was named ABWA’s “Woman of the Year” in 1986.
Maria has been a member of Oceanside Kiwanis Club since 1994, where
she volunteers her marketing expertise to serve whenever and wherever
needed, particularly in preparing programs, publications and the promotion
The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce is
very pleased to have selected Oceanville Mason
Supply’s Marty Bevilaqua as Business Person of the
Year. Marty is the kind of business owner who does
Oceanside proud! Generous and thoughtful toward
his employees - always keeping in mind their family
and community obligations - he obliges without
hesitation when those obligations call them away
on a given workday. He treats his customers as
neighbors, always putting their satisfaction above making an extra buck. He
tries to help out fellow business owners whenever possible and continually
makes improvements to his properties. All of these things make Marty
Bevilaqua a business person who makes Oceanside a better place to live,
work and shop.
Marty is a sponsor of every Kiwanis event throughout the year, and
was a founding sponsor of the Summer Gazebo Reading Series. He supports
South Nassau Communities Hospital, Saint Anthony’s Church, Oceanside
High School Dawn Delirium, Oceanside Stallions Hockey, Rockville Centre
Lions Club (which partners for events with Oceanside Kiwanis), Rockville
Centre Guild for the Arts and Molloy College. In addition, Marty supports
fundraisers with donations and/or supplies and materials at cost for the
Oceanside Education Foundation, Boy Scout Eagle projects and the First
Methodist Church. We suspect there are many more recipients of his support
in our community, but Marty does many of these quietly and without fanfare.
And he’s not telling!

A Message from Our Incoming Chamber President…Gail Carlin
It is my honor and pleasure to serve as the new incoming president of the Oceanside Chamber of
Commerce. My goals are simple yet complex: to support the growth and development of business in the
community and to keep members informed and connected. As we usher in a new decade, let us embrace
the challenges that face us, keep a positive attitude and support each other’s businesses.
Like any successful company, program or chamber, we can not do it alone. If we were to consider for
a moment ourselves as individual snowflakes, you may ask, “What difference can we make?’ But when we
stick together, our effect will be solid and strong.
I look forward to working with you and on behalf of the chamber board of directors, I thank you for
your support.
A Message from Our Outgoing Chamber President…Joseph Garay
It has been my honor to serve as the President of our Chamber of Commerce for the past two years.
While I will be stepping down as President and no longer serving on the Chamber board, I plan on being
an active Chamber member representing the Oceanside Christopher Federal Credit Union.
Our new President, Cail Carlin and the rest of the board of our Chamber are a mixture of people
representing all kinds of commerce who share a common dedication for and perform diligent work on
behalf of the businesses in our community. Oceanside is a better place to live, work and play because of
them.
We are acutely aware of the difficult economic environment afflicting our country, our county and our
community. As the voice of our business community the Chamber stands ready to help. Now more than
ever it is important to know exactly who you do business with. Who are the owners and workers? Support
local entities when possible and take advantage of the networking opportunities your Chamber provides.
Make no mistake the Chamber is here to serve your interests.
We all have the ability to make a difference in Oceanside as individual businesses, but together we can
have the greatest impact working as a community to support growth and prosperity in Oceanside.

Citizen of the Year Maria Heller
Continued from page 1
for the Pancake Breakfast and Annual Charter Night Dinner Dance - to
name a few. Maria also handles Public Relations for Kiwanis Southwest
Division.
Maria worked as production manager with Hank Bialick for the
Oceanside Beacon, Baldwin Citizen and East Rockaway Observer. When
The Beacon was sold, Maria - inspired by long-time friend and respected
Oceanside businesswoman Edyth DeBaun - decided to open her own
business. Maria ran Publicity Plus for 15 years, providing her personal
touch to publicity and printing services for businesses and the Oceanside
community. Five years ago, she merged Publicity Plus with Minuteman
Press of Rockville Centre, where she continues to serve her clients with the
same care and efficiency she offered at Publicity Plus.
Her business experience, work ethic and untiring service to the
community earned Maria the “Business Woman of the Year” award in 1992
from the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce.
As an active member of the First United Methodist Church in
Oceanside, Maria volunteers her time on all committees and aspects of
church life – from gardening Church grounds and photographing church
events to delivering home-designed flower arrangements to the sick, shut-ins
and nursing home residents. Maria fondly refers to the church as her “second
family” and credits the congregation and Pastor Janet Porcher with giving
her the encouragement and support that keeps her going.
Maria is also a member of the Oceanside Garden Club, where she
is consistently active in flower planting projects around town – including
Schoolhouse Green.
Her other activities include Oceanside Community Service and the
Oceanside Education Foundation, where, at the turn of the century, she
teamed up with OEF President and friend, Betsy Transom, to reprint Walter
S. Boardman’s “The Story of Oceanside” - adding vintage photographs
and old newspaper articles. Profits from the sale of the book went to the
Oceanside School District. Maria and Betsy hope to one day publish a sequel
together with Dr. Michael Orzano, who would add his extensive research he
recently compiled on the history of American Indians in the area.
In 1978, Maria joined The Oceanside Board of Trade, which in 1992
became the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce, where she has been a
pivotal member for more than twenty years. Her motivation and purpose
strengthened the organization, enabling it to undertake additional community
projects and greatly increase membership.
Maria has served as the Chamber’s President and Vice President as
well as multiple terms as Recording Secretary. She publishes the quarterly
Chamber Newsletter and journal, in addition to carrying out duties of The
Triangle Liberty Lighthouse Committee with Kathy and Bob Towers. For
years, she has been the driving force behind many other Chamber events
including the Installation Dinner Dance and her Summer Arts and Crafts
Fair – first year of Schoolhouse Green.
For her outstanding service, Maria received the prestigious Oceanside
Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Awarded
to only five other members in the past thirty years, the Award is presented
to individuals who have contributed to the Chamber’s growth and made an
impact on the community as a whole.
Wanting to be just like Grandma, Maria’s 8 year-old granddaughter,
Jenna, recently opened her own writing/publishing business called JennPlus
– which she runs from her new white desk in the playroom. One day, Jenna
made some creative edits while proofreading Grandma’s work: “The Story
of Oceanside was founded in 1871 and then it was Christian Hook and then
it became Oceanville and then under the wise old Grandma Maria it was
changed to Oceanside.”
Ironically, Jenna hit on something we all know about Maria: that her
presence has indeed changed this town to the Oceanside we know today. That
her loyalty and service to the businesses and citizens of this community have
truly made Oceanside a better place. This evening, it is with great pleasure
and great pride that the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce honors one of
its own – Maria Heller - for her innumerable and ongoing contributions to
Oceanside.
Business Person of the Year
Marty Bevilacqua of Oceanside Mason Supply
Continued from page 1
In addition to these, Marty is the founder of The De La Salle School
in Freeport - a Middle School dedicated to the education of academically
disadvantaged Middle School Boys. His support is ongoing and the school
is getting wonderful results and changing lives.
Marty is currently donating slate to be used at the Liberty Lighthouse
Triangle at the center of town. Ever generous and looking out for his
community, he volunteered this, unsolicited, and has offered to donate more
if needed.
A smart, hardworking businessman, Marty has a good business partner
standing beside him in all he does – his wife, Susan. Marty and his wife have
two boys Matthew and Mark and has lived in Rockville Centre for 20 years.
Opened his business Oceanville Mason Supply on Long Beach Road 7 years
ago. Oceanside is indeed lucky to have such a generous neighbor, great boss
and good man as part of its business community!
Outstanding Youth Award Casey English
Continued from page 1
currently the G.O. President, the highest position in Student Government.
Student Government organizes most of the school activities and Casey is
found at almost every school event. Each year, Student Government raises
several thousand dollars for a variety of charities including the American
Cancer Society, Island Harvest, the Oceanside District Scholarship Fund,
Autism Speaks and the Wounded Warriors Foundation among others. Casey
was involved in the organization of World Outreach Week, a week devoted
to peers teaching peers about an array of international issues ranging from
hunger and poverty to genocide and pollution. She has been the chief
organizer of the event for the past two years and speaks to hundreds of her
peers while raising money for organizations that coincide with the issues
addressed.
Additionally, Casey is the President of the high school’s Gay-Straight
Alliance. GSA focuses on making the school environment a safe and
comfortable place for all students. The club organizes fundraisers and often
donates money to local organizations. This past spring, the Long Island Gay
and Lesbian Youth (LIGALY) building was vandalized and Casey worked
with the club to raise several hundred dollars for the damage. Casey is also a
member of the high school’s Recycling Club and Kayak Club. She also has
been awarded various academic honors including induction into the World
Language Honor Society and National Honor Society.
Casey has devoted much of her time to the World Interest Club. WIC
is Oceanside’s Model United Nations team. Each year, Casey travels to
Brown University, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago to
compete at Model UN conferences. She has won Best Delegate Outstanding
Delegate awards at Brown, Harvard and Chicago over the past four years.
Casey was also part of the 2008-2009 team that won the prestigious award
of Outstanding Large Delegation at Harvard University. The World Interest
Club has sparked Casey’s interest in international studies and is the reason
she plans on studying international business in college.
Some of Casey’s other interests include traveling and snowboarding.
Casey has visited almost every major city in the United States and traveled
to France last year with the high school. She also enjoys spending time with
her friends and family. Casey is the youngest of four and loves spending
time with her older brothers Johnny and Ryan and her older sister Lindsey.
Casey’s parents Trina and John are proud of her accomplishments
and know she will succeed in college next year. Casey is sad to leave the
community she has grown up in however is excited to enter the next chapter
of her life. We expect to see great things from Casey in the future!
The Chamber of Commerce is pleased to add Casey to the prestige list of
outstanding students of the year were she will be honored at our Installation
Dinner Dance February 20, 2010 at Kombert Caterers in Oceanside.

BE SMART, BE SAFE THIS WINTER
By Councilman Anthony J. Santino
With the first winter storms just around the corner it’s not to early to focus on some
important tips that will help keep you and your family safe when “Old Man Winter”
strikes:
• Warn your children to stay away from snowplows. Drivers concentrate on
clearing the snow and may not be able to see the little ones from their vehicles.
• Keep your children from playing or sledding in the streets. Snow banks make it
difficult for drivers and plow operators to spot youngsters.
• Ice can be a hazard for those on foot. Property owners are required by law to
remove ice from their sidewalks within 12 hours after snowfall. Stock up on ice melt
early. Make certain that it contains calcium chloride or potassium chloride. Only a
small amount is needed, and it is preferable for the environment. Avoid rock salt
or sodium chloride, which kills plants and lawns. Apply ice melt on your driveway
entrance and sidewalks early and often, to prevent melting snow from packing down
and forming into ice overnight when temperatures drop.
• Don’t shovel snow into the streets.
• If your home or business is located on a corner, shovel an opening to the street.
For a crosswalk, please shovel a wide opening (for strollers and wheelchairs) to help
pedestrians reach the sidewalk safely. Owners of corner properties are required to
shovel sidewalks on both sides of their lot.
• Clear a space for your garbage and recycling containers. When picking up,
sanitation workers cannot climb over snow banks.
• If you have a fire hydrant in front of your home or business, be sure it is clear of
snow.
• Be patient and wait for the street crews to finish plowing. The street may be
plowed multiple times depending on the duration of the storm. The workers will plow
until streets are cleared. Many people shovel out their cars and driveways prior to
crews clearing the streets, only to find vehicles or property covered with snow after
the plows pass.
• It is impossible for plows to avoid pushing snow back on cars or into driveways,
as they work to keep roads passable. Be patient and don’t park your vehicles in the
streets until plows are finished clearing the road.
• Try not to drive or shovel during early stages of the snowstorm. This will give the
plows time and optimum conditions to complete their operations quickly and safely
for everyone.
• Please do not call the police or highway department to learn when your street will
be plowed. Telephone lines need to be kept open for emergencies.
These are some important suggestions, I am offering to lessen problems and provide
safer conditions during snowstorm. Please keep safe and warm during the winter
months.
