After weeks of discussion and hearing both pros and cons at a public hearing on the subject Monday night , the Patchogue Village Board un animous ly approved the formation of a village constabulary to serve as supp lementary law enforcement agency . Busines smen and residen ts have been comp laining for months about vandalism , burglaries and the drinking of alcoholic beverages on th e streets , and they have stated that frequentl y there is no Suffolk County police presence at the Four Corners or elsewhere in the business district. The comp laints have brought beefed up patrols by the Fift h Precinct , but the village board decided to go ahead with establishin g the constables \.. * ;„ rt r\T. ,,,,,, - l,,hn till \ VVcl _ Y . \ l-llllg .vj t.ywi „^ .... Augustine pointed out that the constables will be •' sup- p lemental \ , not intended to replace existing services. Augustine said the board' s action will result wi a ' P' ,; \ program running until April or May and costing approximat ely $10 , 000 from now until the end of the year, in the spring the village board will evaluate the results of the p ilot pro gram. For th e present there will be one full-time constable and some assistants. Patchogue ' s action comes two months after Port Jefferson set up a constabulary force , and Heli port Village is considering similar action ( See story on Heli port page ) . Port Jefferson ' s action is being contested by the Suffolk Patrolman ' s Benevolent Association . Further opposition was ex- pressed by Suffolk police officers at Monday night ' s hearing. Inspector John K. liayden , commanding officer of the Fift h Precinct , said he wouldn ' t get into the legality of constables , •' since the matter is now in the courts. \ However , he told the board : \To give any type of protection , the villag e would need three constable posts , 24 hours a day. That ' s 12 people you ' re hiring. Think of dollars ; you need a minimum of 12 peop le. \ Augustine said Port Jeiie ;son s force costs $30 , 000 a year. F. .J. Ambrose , who identified himself as a police officer at- tached to the Fifth Precinct and resident of Patchogue Village , asked what area the constables would cover and \ who ' s going to pay for this '.

Relatives of e Nguyen are now safe...they are not only here in this country, but in this village The way has been prepared for a new life for each of them. By JO ANN Mc GRATH Tears of despair and frustration welled up in Le Nguyen ' s dark , expressive.

At that time she was told the quota was full and sisterhood was not a sufficient ly direct relationshi p to app ly for special privileges. Le Nguyen ' s sister was eventuall y relocated in Australia. The Nguyen family--Le and her husband and two small children were more 'for- tunate. ' They escaped South Vietnam the day after the North Vietnamese forces invaded Saigon . Since their lives were in immediate danger and since they were among the first emigrees , their entrance into the U.S. was comparatively simp le.

Ecologist Barry Commoner addressed the gathering calling for activities against nuclear power to be demonstrated political ly. \You have to make your- selves felt in the 1980 election , \ he said. And , he hit at President Jimmy Carter ' s statements on nuclear power during the 1976 Presidential election. \Jimmy Carter lied when he said he was against nuclear power , \ said Dr. Commoner. He charged Mr. Carter with pushing nuclear power ever since. There were a uozen Oiuer speakers. Musicians Don McLean and Lou Stevens were among those providin g entertainment. There was an \ alternative energy \ fair with displays of solar and wind energy equi pment , and a score of tables at which anti-nuclear literature was given out . The rall y was sponsored b y the SHAD ( Sound and Hudson Against Atomic Development ) Alliance. Nora Bredes . speaking for SHAD , said \there are four aims of the rally - to stop Shoreham , to have the Suffolk County Legislature have the county take an opposition position to Shoreham as a nuclear p lant at 3 NRC ( federal Nucle ar Regulatory Commission ) I licensing hearings and with this for candidates for § public office and county official s not to equivocate , no.
