Mario Cuomo, in his budget message on Tuesday, Feb. 1st, set forth his proposals for State Aid to Education. The figures released show that East Rockaway would re- ceive $2,013,152, an increase of $233,014 or 13.1%; Lynbrook would receive $2,162,597, down $46,380 or a loss of 2.1%. Sen.

'The governor proposes but the legislature disposes,\ she said. LYNBROOK BUILDING DEPARTMENT SERVICES EDUCATION This past week Dr. Alfred Solomon (rear), Principal of the Marion Street School, and a large group of fourth grade students visited the Lynbrook Village Building Department. A stimulating presentation was made by the Department's Superintendent, Mr. Bruno Arena (front right) and his staff. A variety of pictures and documents were selected and explained by Mrs. Agnes Hillgardner showing the changes that have taken place in the Marion Street School area. The questions asked and the notes taken by the stu- dents exemplified their enthusiasm. (Photo by John Cribbin) East Rockaway Two lengthy discussions took up the greater portion of Janu- ary's meeting of the East Rocka- way Village Board. The first was on a petition submitted by residents of the area surrounding the Village Parking Field adjacent to Subur- bia on Atlantic Avenue. The petition urged the Village and the pohce to take action regard- ing the large groups of youth assembling in this and Suburbia's parking field at all hours. They citied loud and boisterous behav- ior, drinking, smoking, and loud radio playing. DPW Head Gene Torborg verified that his men cleaned up much debris, broken bottles, etc., nearly every morn- ing from the parking field. Most agreed that this group has taken to confregating here since they left Memorial Park. The con- sensus of opinion seemed to be that it was necessary to get the parents of the 20-25 persistent offenders involved, as well as more involvement from the 4th precinct. The other discussion involved' and on-going problem between the residents of Rhame Ave. and Foodtown. The problem, as out- lined again by a resident, was the parking of large trailer trucks in the Village-owned part of the Foodtown Parking area. Mayor Theodore Reinhard said the Village would try to get all in- terested people - the Board, NCPD, Foodtown and the resi- dents - together to discuss this problem. Another discussion followed a complaint by a resident that there were no parking spaces at the Village Parking Fields, as early as 8 a.m., so what good was a permit to park. The Board agreed that this was indeed a problem and wUl consider what can be done - permit to park at meters?, more meters?, higher prices for meters?, etc. Another petition was read at the meeting, this by residents of Waldo Ave., requesting its return to a 2-way street. A public hear- ing will be held on this matter at 8 p.m., prior to the Feb. 14th regular meeting. Board King on Ocean Ave. praised the work of the Fire Dept. at a recent fire on their premises. The Board OK'd Lyn- brook's cable TV company, Adams Russell, to service the Lynbrook schools in the Village of East Rockaway (Marion St. & Waverly Park); approved the dis- mantling and disposal of a 1968 GMC Garbage Truck on which it is no longer feasible to make The second January meeting of the Lynbrook Village Board, as usual, opened with the pre- sentation of monthly reports from all department heads. The main discussions at the meeting had to do with parking situations throughout the Village. The owner of Blossom Windows & Doors on the corner of Blossom Heath & Merrick, requested a Loading Zone next to his premises on Blossom Heath so that heavy doors and windows could be unloaded at his premises rather than down the street. Pohce Chief Frank Kehr was instructed to meet with the owner and try to work out a suitable solution. Chief Kehr then reported on two parking matters that he was instructed to survey. On No. Prospect Ave., the Chief said that unrestricted parking would cause traffic and pedestrian hazards and he recommended that there be no change in pres- ent regulations. On Marshall Ave. between Burtis & Hend- rickson, residents requested 2- hour parking and the Chief ad- vised he had no objections to this and it was approved by the Board. A STOP sign requested for Hendrickson at Marshall was rejected by the Chief and the Board. Repairs on the Wright Ave. Fire Department Heacquarters Building ramp were discussed and Carman-Dunne has been in- structed to draw specifications. Bids were accepted for Police Dept. Uniforms; the Board Meeting of Feb. 21st was re- scheduled to Feb. 15th, Grievance Day, at 4 p.m., due to the holiday on Feb. 21; all necessary resolutions were adopted for the March 15 th Village Election.
