Board Report
by Richard Meagher
On December 14, 1983,
one night after district
voters rendered their verdict
in a crushing 6-1 defeat of
the proposed $10.4 million
bond issue to replace the dis~
t r i c t ' s two elementary
schools and to renovate East
Rockaway High School, the
East Rockaway Board of
Education met to begin dis-cussing
what appropriate
steps should be taken to
maintain and improve the
district's three schools.
The consensus of the
Board and of the 29 citizens
in attendance was that some
kind of renovation bond
issue should be developed
with the active participation
of a broad-based coalition
of district residents.
When Board President
Rose Marie Brande sug-gested
initial plans to con-vene
a broad-based citizen's
advisory committee to
recommend specific renova-tion
items for action by the
Board, Board Member A1
Kachinoski countered with
a proposal for two citizens'
advisory committees, one
for the elementary schools
and one for East Rockaway
High School, with both
staffed by volunteers from
the community.
Board Member Dolores
Maggio warned that the lop-sided
vote indicated that the
district would support only
a minimal total amount.
Board Member Barry
. Akrongold distributed to
fellow Board members a
rough plan of action for
developing a renovation
bond issue that allowed for
several specific opportuni-ties
for community input
before a Board vote is taken
to put a renovation bond
issue referendum before the
public.
Board Member Richard
Meagher suggested that the
most difficult task before the
Board was to bring together
the two segments of the
community that are cur-rently
so split apart.
,\'arious dates in March
1984 were identified by
Superintendent of Schools
Michael Maiden as poten-tial
dates for a renovation
bond issue. It was noted by
the architect that the cost of
construction rises approxi-mately
1% per month.
Board President Brande
began taking names of
volunteers to serve on an
elementary school renova-tions
advisory committee
and a high school renova-tions
advisory committee.
She encouraged those pres-ent
to urge others to volun-teer
and announced that
efforts would also be made
through the local media to
seek volunteers so as to
allow as broad a base of citi-zen
p a r t i c i p a t i o n as
possible.

A l z h e i m e r ' s Disease and

Chapter. The meeting
will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the
auditorium of Brunswick
Hospital, 81 Louden Ave.,

the Southern State Park-way.
Ira Schneider, Esq. of
the law firm of Robert and
Schneider will speak on
"Medicaid/Medicare: How
to Get Government Benefits
for the Alzheimer's Patient".
According to Mr. Schnei-d
e r , " T h e r e a r e l e g a l,
methods by which an Alz-heimer's
patient can have his
treatment paid for by Medi-caid
or Medicare without
expending all of his assets".
Alzheimer's Disease is a
d e g e n e r a t i v e , i r r e v e r s i b le
brain disease for which there
is no known cure or cause.
Its victims display confu-sion,
memory loss and per-jsonality
changes. In the
advanced stages of the dis-ease,
Alzheimer's sufferers
become totally incapable of
caring for themselves.
More than 1.5 million
Americans suffer from Alz-heimer's
and related dis-eases.
The fourth leading
killer in the nation, it most
often strikes after age 65, but
manv victims are in their
40's."
The Al;'hcinier's Disease
and Related Disorders
Association is a non-profit
organization dedicated to
family service, education
and research. The Nassau/-
Suffolk Counties Chapter
was formed a year ago by
concerned relatives of Alz-heimer's
victims to meet the
need for more public aware-ness
and family support.
They now provide an island-wide
network of support
groups for families devas-tated
by the disease. Kathy
McGuinness, chapter vice
president, states ADRDA
hopes to reach care-givers of
people suffering from
dementia as well as health
professionals and individu-als
wishing to learn more
about dementing illnesses.

MORE JAIL SPACE ~ Saying, "Our society cannot allow criminals to go free
because we don't have the jail cells to put them in," U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato
(center) joins New York City Mayor Ed Koch and Corrections Commissioner Ben-jamin
Ward in announcing a plan to double the city's jail space by the end of FY
1988. D'Amato is working to approve a plan to convert an existing federal immigra-tion
detention center into a jail facility, housing up to 600 inmates over the next year.
