Citation preview
by Krista Giannek
Coming into the world at 6:58 a.m.on Tuesday, January 3, 2012,Deanna Marie Riomao earned the
title of Bellmore’s First Baby of the Yearin 2012. “Smoothly” was the operativeword, as Deanna weighed a robust ninepounds and was 20 1/2-inches long.
After 11 months and growing to 29inches tall, she weighed 22 pounds.According to her parents, Janine andJohn Riomao, Deanna is a happy,healthy and sometimes restless baby.
“She’s a really good baby, alwayshappy…and laid back,” Mrs. Riomaosaid. Deanna has not been sick yet butshe can have trouble sleeping, waking atmultiple times during the night and stay-ing awake at five o’clock each morning,Mr. Riomao added.
According to mom, Deanna crawledat nine months old and started learningto walk at about 10 months. “She lovesto explore the house and see what shecan get her hands in,” John said.
Favorite foods include grilled chickenand applesauce. On most days, Deanna’sparents said she plays with her toys inher room or spends time in the livingroom with her family, fiddling with theremote control. Favorite activitiesinclude bopping up and down to music,watching “Yo Gabba Gabba!” and otherNick Jr. shows, and looking at books.
“She actually turns the pages andlooks at the pictures,” Mrs. Riomao said.“She’s smart like her mommy,” momadded with a laugh. Deanna also learnedto hold up one finger when asked howold she will be, Mr. Riomao said.
According to Mrs. Riomao, Deanna isvery “girlie” and plays well with hercousins. Also, as a “water baby,” Deannanever wants to get out of the tub.
Although the Riomaos have not utilizedall the gifts from the contest sponsors, theymentioned their brunch at Hemingway’s inWantagh and flowers from IslandGreenery in Bellmore. “The sponsors werewonderful,” Mrs. Riomao said.
Despite the five feet of water thatflooded the Riomao house during super-storm Sandy, Mrs. Riomao said the fam-ily is very happy and that 2012 was thebest year of her life:
“[Deanna] sees you and she lights upand says ‘Mama’… with this big smile.It’s a wonderful feeling.”

Ninety-two-year-old lifelong Bellmoreresident Bill Sette has a passion for histown’s community life.
“Bellmore did a lot for me. That’s whyI never left it. I was born in Bellmore,and I’ll probably die in Bellmore,” hesaid.
“Bill spent his life giving back to oth-ers within the community, both in busi-ness and personally,” said MarkMeyerowitz, a long-time member of theBellmore Kiwanis Club.
Early lifeBill Sette was born Beltrany
Setteducati, and his birth name is still hislegal name today. “I never shortened it.People shortened it for me. I was namedby my customers,” Mr. Sette said.
Born to poor Italian immigrants, hedescribed a rough, yet happy childhood.Always working with his hands, heearned an honest dollar any way hecould, including landscaping and handi-work. He entered the Air Force from1944 to 1946 as a machinist and tool-maker in Florence, South Carolina. “Iwas sent there by mistake, and my CO[commanding officer] wouldn’t let me[leave],” he said.
Mr. Sette said machinists and tool-makers were “a dime a dozen” when thewar ended, so he decided to join with hisbrother, Frank, in his business.
“Originally, it was just air condition-ing and refrigeration. My brother was alicensed plumber, so we decided to takethe path of least resistance and go into
the plumbing business,” Mr. Sette said.
Frank Sette Plumbing and HeatingThe business, called Frank Sette
Plumbing and Heating, settled on thecorner of St. Mark’s Avenue and SunriseHighway. Mr. Sette or his business hasbeen a member of the Chamber ofCommerce of the Bellmores since 1946,and he served as president of the cham-ber several times. In 2007, the chambernamed him Community Person of theYear, according to a 2007 biography ofMr. Sette published by the chamber.
He expressed gratitude toward themerchants of Bellmore for helping himand his brother establish themselvesafter the war. While the banks lent verylittle money, Bellmore merchants lentcash when needed, “with no paperwork,no nothing,” he said.
It took him and his brother 18 years topay off their debts, he added.
Frank Sette Plumbing and Heatingprovided both goods and services. “Itwas right after the war. People neededeverything, and we sold everything,”Mr. Sette said of his early beginnings.
Roy Weinman of Weinman’sHardware has known Mr. Sette sinceafter World War II. They were businessassociates and are still friends. “I boughtfrom him, he bought from me, and I haverecommended him… because he hasalways been a very honorable business-man… giving customers good service,”said Mr. Weinman.
Recalling his early days in business,
Mr. Sette said, “We did a lot of work forfree… taking care of hundreds of peoplein Bellmore. …We didn’t hesitate for aminute.”
Community serviceMr. Sette’s son, Frank Setteducati,
said that instilling community valueswas probably “the most important gift”his father gave him. “My sister and Iwere both brought up with a deep senseof community service. Whatever projecthe was involved with, the rest of us wereinvolved with,” he said.
According to the chamber bio and sev-eral other Kiwanis Club members, Mr.Sette – as the only remaining chartermember of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club –has been an active member for over 50years. Locally, he has served as presidentand, for over 35 years, he has been anactive member of its Board of Directors.
On the state level, he has served onvarious Kiwanis committees. He is alsoan active honorary life member of theSouthampton Kiwanis Club. BothKiwanis Clubs honored Mr. Sette withthe “Diamond”-level Kaiser and“Diamond” -level Hixson awards.
According to Mr. Meyerowitz, Mr.Sette has recently focused on outreach toschool district staff to identify childrenwho would qualify for Camp Kiwanis, afree Kiwanis-run camp for underprivi-leged children in upstate New York.
Mr. Meyerowitz said the project is afavorite of the Bellmore Kiwanis Club.Mr. Sette said he has coordinated theCamp Kiwanis project in Bellmore forabout 15 years.
Mr. Sette said that he formed the highschool Key Club as part of the KiwanisClub, where high school students learn

Mepham High School recentlyannounced the school’s winners for thePoetry Out Loud: National RecitationContest. Tenth-grader AlyssaRabinowitz won First Place, 12th-grader Dakota Balunis won SecondPlace and 11th-grader Eric Seltzer wonThird Place for the school competition.
The competition, presented in part-nership with the New York StateCouncil on the Arts, the NationalEndowment for the Arts and the PoetryFoundation, is part of a national pro-gram that encourages high school stu-dents to learn about great poetrythrough memorization, performanceand competition.
Throughout November more than600 students from Mepham participat-ed in the Poetry Out Loud competitionin their English classes. Poetry OutLoud lead teacher Nicole Maresca, andEnglish Chairperson Marie Netto,organized Mepham’s participation inthis national competition.
Nearly 120 students filled the choralroom at Mepham last month to hear the22 classroom winners recite theirpoems in the schoolwide ELITE event.
Poetry Out Loud is a national artseducation program that encourages thestudy of great poetry by offering edu-cational materials and a dynamicrecitation competition to high schoolsacross the country.
Poetry Out Loud uses a pyramidstructure. Beginning at the classroomlevel, winners advance to a school-wide competition, then to a regionalcompetition, and ultimately to thenational finals in Washington, DC.More than 400,000 students across the
country are expected to take part inPoetry Out Loud this year.
At Mepham High School, studentsrecited works they selected from ananthology of nearly 600 classic andcontemporary poems. Judges evaluatedstudent performances on criteriaincluding articulation, evidence ofunderstanding, level of difficulty andaccuracy.
All three school finalists will
advance to the regional contest atNassau Community College onMonday, February 25. Winners of theregional contest will represent theirhigh school at the New York Statecompetition.
Each champion at the state level willreceive $200 and an all-expenses-paidtrip to Washington, D.C. to competefor the national championship April28-30. The schools of the state cham-
pions will receive $500 for the pur-chase of poetry books. Mepham islooking for another state champion fol-lowing the success of Steven Tsai, whorepresented Mepham and New YorkState at the national finals in April2011.

Our wishes for 2013Every morning is a new start. But each January
1 we consider it an especially important beginning.Certainly calling it a possible “fiscal cliff” makes itsound ominous. But we have just as many reasonsto consider each morning an opportunity.
Drive across this country and you see many richlands and productive industries. Visit some univer-sities and you meet many promising young minds.
We have more in common – despite our diversi-ty of income, race and creed – than partisan politicsmakes it seem. We need to build on our sharedinterests.
Our wishes for 2013 start with a wish for coop-eration among the White House, Senate and Houseof Representatives.
Superstorm Sandy hit the wealthy and pooralike, although the poor are finding it harder torebound. We have learned a lesson in empathyfrom it. Amazing heroes appeared.
We encourage our local government leaders tothink seriously about measures for preventingfuture storm damage. They have already learned agreat deal about how to prepare for future disasters.And many local officials have shown how govern-ment can truly serve the people.
Still shell-shocked by the massacre of innocentchildren in Newtown, Connecticut, a town muchlike our own, we look for safer schools, better men-tal health care and sensible gun control measures.
And although we are a local newspaper, princi-pally concerned with local issues, we cannot helpbut end our wishes for 2013 with the fervent hopefor world peace.

“It’s gone,” said Tom Seaman, presidentof the South Shore Bay House OwnersAssociation, referring to the bay house hisfamily owns in the East Bay on Big CrowIsland.
“The day after Sandy hit, my brothertook his binoculars and went down to theMeadowbrook Parkway to check out thedamage,” explained Mr. Seaman.
“He stood by the side of the road, andlooked out over the bay. He couldn’tbelieve it. It was incredible – the destruc-tion out there. Fourteen houses are goneand others suffered severe damage. Andthe storm had picked up a few houses andmoved them. They were plopped down inanother place.”
Nancy Solomon, executive directorof Long Island Traditions, agreed withMr. Seaman’s assessment. “Thesestorms scatter and destroy dozens of
these homes,” said Ms. Solomon. “Thisstorm was particularly devastating tomaritime culture.”
“Bay houses stand on the wetlands inthe Towns of Hempstead and Islip, alongthe South Shore corridor of Long island.They were built by fishermen and bay-men, duck hunters and recreationalboaters and range in age from 30 to 100years old,” according to the Long IslandTraditions website.
They are usually small, containingtwo or three rooms and generally facesouth in order to take advantage of thesunlight and cool north-south breezes.They stand on mud sills consisting oflong poles that lay on the marshlandwith upright posts to support the plat-form, which in turn supports thehouse. Unlike traditional houses thereis no permanent foundation,” reads theLong Island Traditions website.
“Lou Wright was the original
owner,” explained Mr. Seaman. “Wetook it over in the 1960s. A bay houseis always a work in progress.Something always needs to bereplaced. Everything has to come in byboat. Ten years ago we put on a newroof; me and my brother did someframing. It’s quite a job.”
But, “it’s worth it,” Mr. Seaman said.“My sons grew up out there; we used theplace from March through December andeven did duck hunting in the fall. ”
Many bay house owners agree. Mr.Seaman said the recent meeting of theSouth Shore Bay House HomeownersAssociation “was packed. Most saidthey would rebuild and we have theokay from the commissioner of water-ways. But it must be approved, in thesame spot, the same footprint.”
Mr. Seaman said he would beginrebuilding in the spring. “It’s a lot ofwork but it’s worth it. “It’s a differentworld out there.”
Maritime traditions and the after-math of Sandy
Long Island Traditions is working withseveral cultural and educational organiza-tions to educate residents on the maritimetraditions that have been affected bysuperstorm Sandy.
Partners include the Long IslandChildren’s Museum and the East MeadowPublic Library. The programs will explorethe working waterfronts, recreational andcommercial fishing, duck hunting and decoycarving, and boat builders and their boatyard.
The programs are appropriate for fami-lies and adults and will include opportuni-ties for discussion and hands-on activities.
The first program is Saturday, January 5,at the East Meadow Public Library from12:30-4 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday,January 12 and 13, the Long IslandChildren’s Museum will examine the sto-ries of local maritime tradition bearers withopportunities for younger residents to learnabout the maritime culture of the region.

community service. He also said hestarted the pool pass program inBellmore, which provided pool passes toneedy families.
Judy Mankita is the president of theBellmore Kiwanis Club and has been amember since 2008. This year, Ms.Mankita said Mr. Sette’s wife died, hebroke his leg and he lost his belongings inthe storm. Yet, he has been regularlyattending meetings and participating.
“He is a very resilient man. Instead ofcurling up in a ball, he continues to beactive in the club,” she said. “I considerhim like a father figure. Bill’s beenextremely helpful, advising me as I havebegun to take over the club. He cares alot about people.”
Tommy Valenti Sr. has known Mr.Sette since the 1950s as a customer anda fellow Kiwanis Club member. He saidthat Mr. Sette is “one of the best guys Iever met.” Referring to Frank SettePlumbing and Heating, he said, “Theywere one of the premier plumbers onLong Island.”
Mr. Valenti’s son, Tom, of Piccolo’sRistoranté, has known Mr. Sette sincethe 1980s as a Kiwanis Club member,and said he admires Mr. Sette’s initiativeand near-perfect meeting attendance.Mr. Sette and his wife are “two of thereasons that Bellmore is the great townthat it is.”
Mr. Sette is also an active chartermember of the Knights of Columbus.Walter Anderson, a former president of
the Bellmore Kiwanis Club and a mem-ber of the Knights of Columbus, saidthey attended conventions together.They also work together on the PancakeBreakfast, Strawberry Festival and foodpantry projects. “He is a very communi-ty-inspired person. We are goodfriends,” Mr. Anderson said.
According to Mr. Sette and the cham-ber bio, he served as captain of HoseCompany 2 of the Bellmore FireDepartment several times and was elect-ed to the Board of Fire Commissioners afew times.
As a member of the Bellmore ExemptFireman’s Association, he served as sec-retary and as a member of its Board ofDirectors. As a life member of theSeaford Harbor Yacht Club, he served ascommodore and on its Board ofDirectors for over 25 years.
He said that he was the chairman ofthe Bellmore Unit of the Salvation Armyfrom 1947 until it disbanded about 20years ago, and he allocated funds tothose who needed help. In conjunctionwith Bellmore Life, he was in charge ofthe Help a Neighbor Program for over15 years, where he arranged to providehelp to readers that called the paper.
Sale of the businessSon Frank Setteducati said he worked
in his father’s business since he was ateenager, and in the late 1980s Mr. Setteturned the business over to him anddaughter. Mr. Setteducati said that in1999 the family sold the business to
Esposito Plumbing and Heating. According to the July 22, 2010, issue
of Bellmore Life, Mr. Sette wanted tosell the property on Surnise Highwayand St. Marks Avenue to White Castle.He said he was angry when the BellmorePreservation Group took White Castle tothe Town of Hempstead zoning Board ofAppeals.
During the appeals process, in whichWhite Castle asked the zoning board forvariances to build White Castle, theboard turned the corporation’s appealfor variances down in part because over320 residents came out in opposition tothe fast food restaurant. The WhiteCastle was never built. Mr. Sette stillowns the property, which has an autobody shop, a private DMV store and res-idencial homes on it.
Mr. Sette said he had another disagree-ment with the Bellmore Preservation Grouprecently for supporting an individual’sefforts to preserve the Stevens home onBellmore Avenue for historical purposes.
According to the September 13 issueof Bellmore Life, the home was built in1923 and later bequeathed to five familyfriends and two animal organizations. “I
was a personal friend of the Stevensfamily, three generations. That househas no more historical value than mynose. All the historical places they letgo, all the big homes on Merrick Road,”Mr. Sette said.
No longer a quaint townBellmore has changed dramatically
since the smalltown days of Mr. Sette’syouth. Today, Bedford Avenue – whichused to be an active commercial center– has “a row of offices rather than arow of stores,” Mr. Sette said. “Youcan’t walk down Bedford Avenue andbuy anything except a cup of coffee,”he joked.
“It’s not a quaint old town anymore.The only old store that’s recognizableis the old Weinman’s Hardware.”
Mr. Sette said that he misses thedances and other gatherings organizedby civic organizations. “They’ve gottelevisions to entertain them now, andthey don’t need to be entertained by adance at the firehouse or…theAmerican Legion,” he concluded,speaking of the modernity that hasovertaken Bellmore.

TEAMELLIMANAs 2012 comes to a close, there is so much that we have to reflect on. In a year defined as much by
its high points as its lows, we are fortunate to have had each other and our communities to celebrate
the milestones with, and to lean on for support during the more trying times. We look forward to seeing
everyone in the new year as we rebuild to a brighter and better 2013.
