lege professor of engineering at theState University of New YorkMaritime College who was instrumen-tal in building the Walk In Love forJesus Church in North Bellmore, diedSunday, August 19, in Eastern LongIsland Hospital, Greenport. He was 91.
Professor Wennagel is in theEngineering Hall of Fame SUNYMaritime College as the honors 2002inductee for Professor OfEngineering.
“He made the complex seem simpleand the mysterious obvious,” said hisfriend Pastor Jeannette Capriola ofthe Walk in Love for Jesus Church.
Mr. Wennagel loved Paris and heloved to speak French. Every sum-mer he would vacation in Paris. Mr.Wennagel was a private pilot, and heenjoyed flying when he had the time.He also enjoyed going to museums,opera, Broadway plays and balletdances.
He was a devoted son, providingsupport and care to his mother until
she died, PastorCapriola said.
Mr. Wennagel’s lovedones include PastorCapriola of the Walk InLove for Jesus Churchin North Bellmore,nieces Lynn Barsigianand Barbara Deckerand their children, andsister-in-law ShirleyWennagel.
Church founded in2004

“I was a nurse’s assis-tant in 1993 at hospice taking care ofNorman’s 99-year-old mother.Norman was 71 years old at the time,”she said. As a nurse’s assistant she didthe things he could not do, such as
assisting in her personal care, shecontinued.
In 1996 Pastor Capriola wished toopen a Christian book store to helpthose who wanted help in their livesthrough prayer. “It was Norman who
secured the funding for the bookstore,” said Pastor Capriola. Shenever asked for his assistance, shesaid, he just gave it freely.
“At the bookstore I was able to min-ister to those in need of prayer” becauseof Mr. Wennagel’s kindness, she said.
In 2004, when Pastor Capriolalearned a house on Newbridge Roadin North Bellmore was for sale, shesaid it revealed the perfect opportuni-ty to bring the help of prayer to thosein the community who asked for it.
“It was Norman who helped purch-case the house” as a house of prayerfor those in the community, she said.
“Norman,” she said, “believed inthe vision” of helping others.

It was a tough loss for the KennedyCougars against the Mepham Pirateslast Saturday 27-7 for Bellmore brag-ging rights, but their determinationand the Kennedy crowd’s upbeatnature did not yield.
The Cougars went into the gamestrong and ready to play while thecrowd encouraged them on. Fans suchas mothers Maria Racalbuto andRegina Faiella understood the intensi-ty level of the game, but still heldfaith in their boys’ strength.
Both agreed, “We’re going to playhard because we’re rivals, but this isthe strongest we’ve ever been. Ourdetermination will get us ahead.”
Other parents such as Dina Ciulloand Dave Hartman said, “The gamewill be challenging, these boys havebeen playing together since the
Braves. Every team goes out to win,but our hard work and our motto of‘never give up’ sets us apart.”
With the animation of the crowdand cheerleaders on their side,Kennedy ran out with energy in antic-ipation of the game. The boys’strength shined in the first half, hold-ing the Pirates in a stalemate for mostof the half. As the second quartercame to a close, Mepham kickerDante Ippolitto (27) pulled in a scoreof three with his field goal, deflatingthe Kennedy crowd’s optimisticdemeanor only slightly.
Spectators such as dad MitchellBarnett were disappointed, saying “Ihope their summer training kicks in tomake for a better second half.” DadRich Miller added, “Hopefully, thecoach will make some halftimeadjustments to result in an improvedsecond half.”

Plant a tree, write a book, have a child
What is on your bucket list? Alternately attributed to theTalmud, an American feminist and a Latin American poetand revolutionary is the saying, “Every man should planta tree, write a book and have a child.” Each is a tall order.
Planting a tree is a long-range plan. If grown from aseedling, it takes constant watering and weeding. If plant-ed later, it takes a lot of hard digging to make a hole toplace it in. Generally, around here, trees are planted in thefall. They will weather the harsh winter and then programthemselves to bloom in the spring.
Farsighted local citizens have included trees as part ofdowntown beautification. Some are no longer with us andnever got to sit under the shade of the trees they planted,and yet we still remember them, especially in spring whenthe trees are blooming.
Many people move out to the suburbs attracted by theirbeauty. Truly, living here is like living in a botanical gar-den. And yet too many then proceed to cut down the treeson their property, perhaps to make room for driveways ordeck, perhaps to avoid buckling sidewalks or having torake the leaves. They sacrifice the protection from thewind and sun that trees provide. The roots are no longerthere to prevent runoff and erosion. So someone needs tostep in and plant a tree for each one that is cut down if wewant to preserve the nature of this community.
Publishing a book used to be more of a challenge thanit is today. It was very hard to get past the gatekeeperswith something new and original, such as the Harry Potterseries. Now Amazon has made self-publishing possiblefor anyone with access to a computer and the Internet.Readers have made best sellers out of books that failed towin the interest of the publishing houses. But even if yourbook does not make the best seller list, if it tells yourstory for future generations it is worth doing.
This newspaper has published many life stories in itsobituary pages. Each had a special story to tell. And justone extra line such as, “She always had a smile for every-one,” can bring that person back to life again for amoment.
Having a child is the ultimate act of creation. The rela-tionship between the couple who shares that joyful mira-cle will never be the same. And the child becomes his orher own personality right away. A parent’s role changesfrom rocking the baby, to that first visit to the zoo, tomeeting the teacher on Back to School Night, to cheeringon the sidelines at soccer, to coaching for that first job, togiving away the bride, to giving advice about the grand-child’s teething, and so it goes.
That’s life!

Kennedy crowd keeps faith in lossKennedy cheerleaders lead
While some of the Kennedy crowdlost optimism they were quicklycheered back up by other fans and thecheerleaders. Led by Coach Cogan,the girls stayed spirited and motivat-ed, bringing the crowd out of thedumps for the second half. Mrs.Racalbuto and Mrs. Faiella both stat-ed, “We have to keep positive, theboys’ are holding their own in thissuper-competitive game. They willcome out stronger.”
Kennedy indeed came out strong, but
so did the Pirates. Emilio Minichello,Mepham lineman, said, “I’ve neverseen Mepham football so pumped upand ready to play; everybody wantedto win more than anything.”
The Cougars showed their unity,running on to the field holding handsin the beginning of the third quarter.This united feeling kept the boysgoing as the game progressed and thePirates scored. In the third quarter,Tyler Davis passed to Yianni Hilas fora 37-yard touchdown. Then, Dantekicked for the extra point pushing thePirates ahead.
The Pirates continued to dominate as
a pass from Tyler Davis to Yianni Hilasfor a 25-yard touchdown in the thirdquarter, leaving Kennedy in the dust.
Despite the difficulty level, theCougars went out strong, scoring on atouchdown pass from quarterbackChris Racalbuto to wide receiverRalph Faiella in the third quarter, giv-ing them seven points.
Following in the fourth quarterMepham’s Shane Agostino scored aone-yard touchdown with a field goalfrom Dante. The game ended with alandslide win for the Mepham Pirateswith a score of 27-7, showing thestrength of both teams.
Andrew Rodrigues, Cougar line-man, said “I thought we played a verygood first half by keeping the scoreclose and only being down by three. Inthe second half, Mepham came outand played a better half than us.Having injuries sidelining a few of ourstarters definitely did not help us.”
The loss was intense, but alsorevealed the skill level of the team.They worked their hardest to play well.The competitive nature and loss doesnot reveal a weakness in the team, butjust the intensity of the game.
75TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AND HOMECOMING GAME: StateSenator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. (R-Merrick) and state Assemblyman DavidMcDonough (R-North Merrick) visited Mepham High School to join with stu-dents, staff, administrators and alumni in celebrating the school’s 75thanniversary.

My child just fell at a soccer game andbroke his tooth – what do I do now?
Dental trauma is one of the most com-mon sports injuries in young children.Many people have seen a child chip orlose a tooth on the playing field or play-ground. Dental trauma can be frighten-ing for parents and children. Despitethis, proper action can ensure your childhas the best possible outcome.
For baby teeth, many children experi-ence trauma from simple activities, suchas falling while learning to walk or bit-ing a hard object. In the worst cases,they may lose the tooth all together.For a pediatric dentist the most impor-tant concern is the development of thepermanent teeth below.
It’s important to have the tooth evalu-ated by your child’s dentist in a timelyfashion. It is vital to ensure that there isno infection or that the trauma has not
damaged the permanent tooth.Thankfully, monitoring of the trau-
matized tooth is sufficient in mostcases. Only a dentist can make thisdetermination.
Trauma to permanent teethTrauma to permanent teeth is often
more complicated and may involvemore aggressive measures. When atooth is knocked out, you must seek den-tal attention immediately. The earlier thetooth is treated, the higher the chance ofsaving the tooth.
Once you are sure that your child hasnot suffered any head trauma or otherserious injury, it is a priority to keep thetooth in a liquid. The ideal liquid is abalanced salt solution, such as “Save atooth.”
This is something a school nurse orcoach should have in their first aid kit.While less effective, milk is a good
alternative. Water can also be used ifmilk is not available. In cases where thetooth is loosened or chipped, call yourdental provider and they can advise youas to what is needed and how quicklyyour child needs to be seen.
For children participating in contactsports, mouth guards are a must.Custom mouth guards are the mosteffective, especially in older childrenwho play sports on a regular basis.These can be obtained from your dentist.
“Boil and bite”-type mouth guards,while not as effective, are a good alter-native. A mouth guard will not preventevery dental trauma but will dramatical-ly reduce your child’s risk.
If you have questions about this topic orother dental questions, you can call Dr.Rania Elbaz and staff at MerrickPediatric Dentistry, 1469 MerrickAvenue, Merrick, 547-1997. Or visitMerrick PediatricDentistry.com.

As the school year approaches, manyparents are taking their kids shoppingfor supplies. In the midst of choosingthe pencils, notebooks, and binders, takespecial care when choosing a backpack.
With the increasing book and home-work loads, most packs are not designedfor the ergonomic and spinal health ofyour child. Educating your kids regard-ing proper backpack health can preventspinal problems caused by improperbackpack use later down the road.
When teaching your child about back-pack health, keep an eye out for the fol-lowing:
• Make sure the size of the pack isappropriate for the person wearing it– A backpack should fit comfortably onthe back. All too often, a backpack thatis improperly sized can cut off blood cir-culation in the neck and shoulders.Ensuring that a pack also has paddedshoulder straps and a hip belt will betterensure that the weight is distributedproperly on the back.
• Make sure to carry the backpackproperly – Studies have shown thatpositioning a backpack too high on theback can lead to spinal distortions.Centering the pack at the waist or hiplevel will allow the pelvis to carry theprimary load rather than the neck andshoulders. Also make sure to wear bothshoulder straps so the weight is distrib-uted evenly. If the pack has hip straps,use them to better center the weight.Even after a backpack is properly fitted,it should be no more than 10% of a per-son’s body weight (so an average highschool student weighing 100-120pounds should carry 10-20 pounds intheir backpack at most!)
• Practice smart packing – Whenloading a backpack with school sup-plies, always load the heaviest itemsclosest to the back – near the center ofgravity. If you’re adding water bottlesor pencil cases to the side of the pack,make sure the weight on both sides isdistributed evenly. It is best to makeseveral trips to the locker to load andunload books to ensure optimum spinalhealth.
• The best protection is prevention– Make sure your kids have regular chi-ropractic adjustments to correct anymisalignments that occur in the spine,caused by backpack use or other“bumps” in life. Studies have alsoshown that students who participate inregular exercise and physical activityhave less back pain over all, and are lesslikely to develop back problems.
After going through this list, how doyour kids’ backpacks measure up? Arethere some changes you need to make?
Take the time to make sure that yourchildren are protected from unnecessaryspinal strain.

Bellmore man helps capture auto theft suspectBellmore resident John Scalesi Jr.
said he and two Merrick firefightershelped catch a suspect on BabylonTurnpike in Merrick, in the theft of anATV from a Merrick Road service sta-tion in Merrick last month. SymoudLewis, 20, of Roosevelt, was arrestedon Meadowbrook Road near GrandAvenue.
At the BP station he asked to test drivea quad that was for sale, police said. Thesalesperson allowed him to drive it inthe parking lot. The suspect then askedif he could leave the property with thevehicle to see how fast it could go. Thesalesperson refused the request but Mr.Lewis left with the vehicle anyway,police said. A notification was sent outby Nassau police, they added.
Mr. Scalesi recalled he was “on myway shopping when there was a robberyat the BP station on Merrick Road.” Heheard on his fire/police radio that policewere looking for a man who stole an all-terrain vehicle from the station.
Mr. Scalisi said he saw the suspectpushing an ATV on Babylon Turnpikeabout an hour after the robbery andcalled 911. He directed the respondingofficers to the Merrick firehouse onMeadowbrook Road and BabylonTurnpike. There, he and two firefighterssubdued the suspect until the policearrived, he added.
A positive show-up identification wasconducted, police reported, adding thatafter the quad was processed it wasreturned to the salesperson.
Mr. Lewis was charged with PetitLarceny, Disorderly Conduct and fourviolations of the Vehicle and TrafficLaw, police reported.
Orthotics technology strides forwardby Dr. Leon Livingston, Dr. Douglas
Livingston and the staff atLivingston Foot Care Specialists
Technology has finally come to thefabrication of custom-made orthotics.Orthotic devices are shoe insertsintended to correct an abnormal orirregular walking pattern.
Some people refer to orthotics asarch supports, but they are much morethan that. Arch supports are simplyover-the-counter devices that providesome cushioning under the arch area.
Orthotics are typically custom-molded devices that are designed tocontrol and improve foot function. A
simple analogy is to compare the dif-ference between off-the-shelf sun-glasses and a prescription pair of sun-glasses. One is general and the other isfabricated just for the individual.
Orthotics can help with such condi-tions as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs,chronic irritations, shin splints, leglength discrepancies, bunions, ham-mertoes, neuromas, bursitis, tendinitisand flat feet.
They control the motion between theforefoot and the rear foot, evenly dis-tributing the weight and pressureexerted on the foot. They reduce exces-sive motion that may occur, and canact as a binding force that absorbsstrain as pressure is exerted on them.
They can also accommodate and cush-ion painful or injured areas.
We at Livingston Foot CareSpecialists now have the most techno-logically advanced modality for thefabrication of orthotics. A three-dimensional computerized scanner isused to capture the position of the footto provide the best possible orthotic foryour feet and your condition.
This scan is then utilized by the labto create a customized orthotic to pro-vide you with the most relief possible.Call Livingston Foot Care Specialistsat 1685 Newbridge Road, NorthBellmore, at 826-0103 to schedule anorthotic evaluation so you can benefitfrom this new and exciting technology.
