XVI, NO. 9 EAST ROCK AW AY, NEW YORK 11518, THURSDAY' JANUARY 6, 1983 15^ PER COPY As reported in last week's issue, the Bulletin Board for announcing coming events at East Rockaway High School was erected on the front of the new wing on Ocean Avenue on Wednesday, December29th. Came the dawn on Thursday, December 30th, and the briglit n<r»rBulletin Board looked as shown above. It's a disgraceful situation when in less than 24 hours such vandalism occurs, and the worst part is, the Bulletin Board was purchased and erected with the students' own money - that portion of the vandalism fund set aside by the Board of Education which was promised to the students if not needed for vandal- ism repairs last year. Mr. Michael Maiden, Superintendent of Schools, said he was very disturbed by such wanton vandalism but felt it was a relatively few young people and not indicative of the entire student body.

Lynbrook Village Board Report The Lynbrook Village Board held its regular meeting on Monday, January 3rd. The^ relatively uneventful meeting was highlighted by a Drinking and Driving Prevention presentation and a special excep- tion request for premises at 29 Putnam Ave. The Independent Insurance Agents Assn. of Nassau County is distributing bumper stickers calling attention to the drinking and driving problem. A supply of the bumper stickers were presented to the Village and they will be affixed to all Village vehicles. The request for a special exception for premises at 29 Putnam Ave. was for the construction of an additional driveway and curb cut at the opposite side of the house from the present driveway. The present driveway is only large enough for 1 car and this is a 2-family house. The real problem, however, seemed to be that a permit was issued by the Building Dept. allowing the driveway, and then after work had commenced, it was rescinded. As with most matters, there were two sides to the issue presented, one by the applicant and the other by the Building Dept. The Board reserved decision to study and sort out the \facts.\ The Recreation Building at Greis Veterans Memorial Park has been experiencing numerous break-ins and bids have been received from various companies for the installation of an alarm/security systems. These proposals will be studied by Police Chief Frank Kehr, Recreation Director Maurice DeLuca and Communications Chief Michael Shindler and a report made at the next meeting as to the best proposal. Also in connection with the Recreation Center Building, the heating system has not been operating properly and the contractor will be asked to make any adjustments necessary (move thermostat, etc.) so that all parts of the building will be adequately heated. John Cuneo, Manager of Adams-Russell Cablevision, gave an up- date report on Cable TV in the Village. He said that all residents, with the exception of apartment dwellers, have been solicited twice as to their desire for cable TV; complaints are being handled on a 24-48 hour basis; contracts with apartments are being consumated as quickly as possible; the institutional inter-connect and the Lyn- brook studio will be operational by the end of February. Bids were received for an atuomobile and police department uni- forms and will be studied by appropriate personnel. Bids will be sought for a new 3-wheel vehicle to replace the present 8-year old police department car. Another bond resolution was adopted to pay additional tax certiorari judgments imposed by the courts. Next meeting January 17th. John Cuneo (1), General Manager of Adams-Russell Cablevision, offers heartfelt thanks to (1-r) Lynbrook Police Officer Charles Callahan and John Matzen and Carl Lengel, members of Vulcan Company of the Lynbrook Fire Dept., in capturing a burglar at 1:40 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 5th. Unit 422 of Vulcan Company was traveling north on Ocean Ave. and heard the burglar alarm sounding at Adams-Russell Cablevision located at 338 Ocean Ave. As the fire truck approached the build- ing, a man was observed in front who then began running towards Sunrise Hwy. Vulcan, under the command of John Matzen, immedi- ately notified the police/fire dispatcher at Lynbrook Police Head- quarters. The dispatcher immediately informed all police units. P.O. Charles Callahan received the radio dispatch as he was approaching the intersection of Sunrise and Ocean, The suspect was in sight and Callahan made the arrest requiring no assistance. According to police, the front door of Adams-Russell was broken in and property is reported missing.
