The tour provided students with the opportu nity to explore the growth of the fashion industry. Students had an all-access pass for a behind-the- scenes visit to a working factory’s cutting floor, a designer showroom, and a sample sale. While at the sample sale, an intern explained to students how she obtained her job in the designer showroom and the skills and education needed to break into the world of fashion. The hands-on field trip connected textbook con cepts to real-life events and allowed students to learn the business of fashion.

The conditions raised concerns for residents living in the area as well. The Village issued summonses to the property owner, longtime Lindenhurst resident Edward Parthe, now of Miller Place, in an attempt to get him to comply, but when he failed to do so, the case went to the courts. Parthe, reached at his home in Middle Island, said that the problem was a result of the delay by the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva tion (DECj) to approve an application he submitted to (Continued on page 3) _ ___„ 001279 . ......... *~CR LOT O2OOA*C0O2 BABYLON LIBRARY (2) BEAC021411 24 S CARLL AVE BABYLON .NY 11702-3403 m i If f by Carolyn James \7 With the approval of the application for a new restau rant in the old Bank of Babylon building, the Babylon Village Board adopted a list of covenants and restric tions for the establishment at its Village Board meeting Jan. 24.
