Narrative:

I was on final approach to runway 12 at mle; winds were calm and the preferred runway for calm winds is runway 12. When I was about 500 ft above ground; a plane called on the unicom that he was taking off on runway 30 (opposite end of my landing runway). I called him on the radio and cautioned him about our position; and impending landing. He did not respond. I flared and on my rollout; I noticed he had begun his takeoff roll. I called again; but again; no response. I had turned on my landing light far out on final; which I usually do. I flashed the landing light several times; hoping they would see us.I had no choice but to continue my landing rollout; and was ready to exit the runway onto the grass if the other aircraft did not stop. Just before I reached a taxiway to exit the runway; the other aircraft had begun to slow down. He stopped on the runway as I was exiting onto the taxiway.no collision; no damage; but a little scary. Notwithstanding the fact that my radio communications were not heard by this other pilot; he should have checked the runway visually for any other traffic; which he did not.
