The Observer is not responsible' for any statements made in a \Letter to the Editor.\ Dear John: Enclosed is an article I sent to the Grumman paper after my trip on the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk with my son, Clarke Prescott, who is a Chaplain on the Kitty Hawk. Before going to Colgate (Rochester, N.Y.), Bexley Hall, he attended Rhame Avenue, East Rockaway High, then Manhattan College in N.Y. We enjoy reading the Observer very much, especially havmg been residents of East Rocka- way about 40 years. It kind of keeps us in touch with the goings on back there. We expect to be up that way durmg the summer and expect Fll be seeing you at the Kiwanis meeting. Sincerely, Ralph R. Bimonte Dear Plane News, Recently I was invited by my son, Clarke Pres- cott, a chaplain aboard the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk. My two grandsons, Robert, 12, and Tom, 10, and I boarded the Hawk in Honolulu for its return trip to California...for the \Tiger Cruise.\ While still in Hono- lulu, the four of us did some sightseeing - I especially wanted to take the. boys to see the Ariz- ona Memorial. A little more about the cruise. The meals were great and a good variety. They serve 17,000 meals per day ~ all you can eat. I was also invited to visit Captain David Rog- ers on the bridge. Capt. Rogers has some flying hours in the F-14 and told me that it's a great ship. The Hawk put on a full flight operation for the \Tigers\ from takeoff to landing which included an ait show, flight forma- tion and target practice. I did have a chance to speak to some of the pilots and they all like the F-14 very much. They told me it is a great plane and fun to fly. Yours truly, Ralph R. Bimonte Retired from Repro Dept., Plant 15 Dear Mr. Hambel: Many places have oil spills. There are wild animals who live near these places. They live where boats go very fast, get fish lines and hooks in their beaks, and other things. There is no place on Long Island where these wild animals can get help. The dog pounds are not the best place for wild animals. One might get out and give a pet diseases that might hurt them. We need a Wild Life Hospital near the Wild Life Pre- serves. We could ask the Vets, who would take on- day a week to look the animals over. And people who like to help can band the animals and keep count on the endangered animals. Thank you, Karen Klein Dear Editor To me, it is very unfor- tunate that some individ- uals, like K. Doughty whose letter you recently published in your paper, should feel it necessary to sarcastically suggest that I, as a Trustee, would coldly consider displac- ing Senior Citizens and Handicapped, or any- one, for that matter, from their homes. From my very beginning with 352 EEE, it was never as sim- ple as people made it sound — yes 352 EEE, you're in or no 352 EEE, you're out. Four years ago, 1 became a Lynbrook Vil- lage Trustee, and with that, took on a tremem- dous responsibility to protect and advance the Quality of life of all its res- idents. As I approached my seat for the first time in January of 1981,1 was made aware that I was inheriting an issue of deep concern to apartment- house dwellers and homeowners. The Lyn- brook Gardens Apart- ments were in the final stages of co-oping and four other apartment houses were beginning the process. There were two opinions on the old board, and both sides were presenting their rea- sons why 1 should say yes (Continued on Page 5) Editorials Paid Circulation Papers Have Buying Power By Hank Bialick \Paid circulation is valuable,\ said Jack Cohen, vice president of the pronninent adver- tising agency Doyle, Dane, Bernbach Inc., as quoted in\\Editor & Publisher.\ WHY? someone shells out his own money, he is really interested,\ he says. Our community newspapers are the kind of papers described above. People pay to receive these papers because they value to them. It doesn't take a whole lot of talent to give some- thing away free. It takes a lot of talent to produce a marketable item. Our value to the subscriber is 60 years of community back- • ground experience which produces a weekly diary of local news, pictures, events that mean a lot to the community we serve. That is why our subscription and newsstand sales have remained strong throughout the years. We maintain that readership not numbers is what constitutes the best buy for the advertising community. We are the only paid weekly sub- scription newspaper in your community and no other publication contains the amount of local news that we publish. The real community paid circulation news- (Continued on Page 5) Meeting The Press By John Ham be) Statistics show that the average television set is in operation for approximately 7 hours every day. We're all accustomed t(^'the variety of shows that appear on the tube: situation comedies, dramas, news shows, etc. For years, I have been a fan of Sunday morning com- mentaries, such as \Face the Nation,\ \Meet the Press,\ and more currently, \This Week with David Brinkley.\ I never knew the prepa- ration and hard work that went into this type of news show until I participated in a similar program myself. I was asked to serve as a questioner for Adams-Russell Cable Television of Lynbrook in a debate between the candidates of the Lynbrook Good Government and Lynbrook Independent Parties this past week. The for- mat was similar to the shows on network TV: a moderator keeps things from getting too rambunctuous while two journalists try to get the candidates to answer their questions. As an aside, I must say that candidates at the local level are far more responsive than those seeking higher office. They seem to feel obli- gated to answer the question as posed to them without leading the audience down the garden path with a pre-prepared answer. For the past few weeks, I've been giving serious thought as to the number and type of questions I would ask. After all, here's my first shot to be a TV star, and I wanted to make a (Continued on Page 5) c HANK BIALICK — PUBLISHER John Hambel — Editor Kelley Burke — Assistant Editor Toni Santillo — Controller Charlotte Safirstein — Ass't.
