BOAT FIRES IN EAST ROCKAWAY
w - •
GIRL SCOUTS TAKE OVER IN LYNBROOK
Just after 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 24th, a Code 10 (working
fire) was received by the East Rockaway Fire Dept. for Davison's
Boat Yard on Atlantic Avenue. Upon arriving, the men found two
of the 8 large boats in one hangar completely involved, with flames
shooting up to the top of the high building. A tremendous "stop"
was made by the men, confining the extensive damage to the two
boats which were ablaze upon arrival. Happening right at rush hour,
Atlantic Ave., Main Street, Ocean Avenue, and many side streets
were tied up and barely moving for a lengthy period.

Less than 48 hours after the fire at Davison's, just before midni^t
on Friday, March 25th, another call was received for a bot fire
behind Aloha Oil on Front Street. Again, upon arrival, the men
found a boat completely in flames with other boats and buildings
in jeopardy. Again, the fire was quickly extinguished with damage
held to a minimum. (Photo by Andy Ferretti)
^ RECORD SCHOOL AID
East Rockaway will get
$197,235 in new school aid, the
largest amount in district history
due to the efforts of Assembly-man
Arthur "Jerry" Kremer,
Chairman of the Assembly Ways
and Means Committee.
"Despite major cuts in all
state programs, the new school
aid formula for Nassau County
will prevent local districts from
large losses in aid as originally
proposed in the Governor's bud-get,"
Kremer said.
Last year East Rockaway got
a little over $100,000 in new
aid. Under the new school aid
formula adopted for 1983-84,
that figure will almost double
with the schools getting $2.2
million in aid.
'*In order to help our districts
pick up new aid we have in-creased
the operating aid form-ula,
textbook aid, transportation
aid, handicapped assistance and
given new dollars to children
with special needs," Kremer
said.
"I am proud to have been
part of the negotiations to pro-vide
aid to the neediest districts
and avoid local tax increases,'*
Kremer concluded.
BUNNY IN LYNBROOK
The Easter Bunny will be
visiting Lynbrook's business
section on Saturday, April 2nd.
He/she will give out free jelly
beans and everyone can fill out
free coupons estimating how
many are stored away in the
window of F.W, Woolworth.
Easter baskets will be given out
to the lucky winners. Coupons
are avaailable at all participating
stores.
As reported in last week's issue, Lynbrook Girl Scouts took over the
Village Board meeting on March 21st, with Scouts participating as
Mayor, Trustees and various other department heads. At top, a
Brownie Troop Color Guard opens the meeting, and next, Lori
O'Connor carries out the duties of Mayor Glenn Spielman, while
Trustee William Buzzeo helps Christine Weiler perform for him.
