Retirement Honors Career Fair Scheduled
The C.A.V.E. committee,
which is sponsoring the first
annual Career Fair, has
received tremendous com-munity
support. Believing
that the speakers would
have even more relevance to
students and parents if they
came from East Rockaway,
the C.A.V.E. committee
approached people in our
community who represented
various occupational areas.
Thus far, fifty-five people
have endorsed the project by
agreeing to speak about the
area that they know best ~
their jobs. A computer ana-

A 21 year old East Rock-away
man was fatally
injured after he apparently
lost control of his vehicle
and struck another vehicle
in Rockville Centre around
11:30 p.m. last night. (1-23)
The deceased, John
Mogelnicki, of 63 Fifth
Ave., East Rockaway was
operating a 1981 Datson
280Z, s o u t h b o u n d on
Peninsula Blvd., 1000'north
of Lakeview Ave., when his
car jumped a divider and
struck a northbound 1985
Mercury, operated by Shel-don
Levenson, 47, of 18
Cedar Dr. East, Old
Bethpage.
As a result Mogelnicki
was pronounced dead at the
scene by Dr. Joseph
Werther of Rockville Cen-tre,
at 11:47 p.m. He had suf-fered
severe injuries to his
body plus possible internal •
injuries. His passenger,
Michael Falco, of 19 7th
Seventh Ave., East Rocka-way,
21 years of age, was
transported to Mercy Hos-pital,
Rockville Centre,
where he was treated for a
broken nose, a broken left
hand, plus contusions and
abrasions about his body.
He will be held for
observation.
Levenson's vehicle had
five passengers, one, Erwin
Erstling, 43, of Plainview
Rd., Plainview, is presently
in South Nassau Communi-ties
Hospital, Oceanside, in
critical condition with inter-nal
bleeding, undergoing
surgery. The other occu-pants
and Levenson were
taken to Mercy Hospital for
treatment of various injur-ies,
none serious and were
released. No charges were
filed by police.

East Rockaway School Board Report
by Carin Klinger
Several subjects of impor-tance
were discussed at the
January 19, 1988 East
Rockaway Board of Educa-tion
meeting.
The new Rhame Avenue
building construction has
begun. On the days where
the temperature reaches 32
degrees or above the
workers have begun laying
down foundation walls and
pouring concrete. On other
days, however, when the
temperature is below 32
degrees the workers will
simply move the forms and
set them up for the next day
that will permit them to once
again pour the concrete.
After studying and com-paring
the SAT scores of the
class of 1987 to the class of
1988, the Board found that
the class of 1988 went up an
average of 23 points.
The last delivery of win-dows
for the high school is
expected to arrive during
the latter part of February.
They will be the last of the
127 new windows to be
installed in the high school.
The problems wth asbes-tos
that the high school has
had in the past are no longer
a menace. East Rockaway
High School has managed
the asbestos by removing
portions of it and covering
the rest with a second ceiling
to disallow harm to any stu-dents
or faculty in the build-ing.
Reinspections will be
performed in order to ensure
no fui;^her complications.
The 1st annual Career
Fair will be held at East
Rockaway High School on
Thursday, February 4, 1988
from 7:30 to 9:30pm.
C.A.V.E. as well as Kath-leen
Semergeiff are hoping
for a most successful out-come.
This program is antic-ipated
to both develop the
ideas of students on careers
and help the schools to see
what new electives might be
added to the high school
curriculum in connection
with these careers.
A Lynbrook pizzeria was
robbed by two armed men
on Monday; January 18th,
who left with $500 in cash
and some jewelry, according
to Nassau County Police.
The pair stopped two
women walking to their car
from Marie & Paul's Pizze-ria,
located at 155 Broadway
at 10:00 pm. The pair was
ordered back inside and
were robbed along with the
owner. Carlo Pannullo.
Mr. Pannullo gave the
robbers $510 at gunpoint
and the men then took $ 10 in
tips from Antonella Pan-nullo.
They then took
approximately $475 worth
of jewelry from Lisa Lupia.
All of the victims are from
Brooklyn.
In a separate action, a
Rockville Centre man has
been charged with robbery
and assault in connection
with a s t a b b i n g that
occurred last month at a
Lynbrook 7-Eleven store.
Peter Tomlin of Broad-way
was arraigned on Fri-day,
January 15 before
Judge Arthur Eiberson in
First District Court in
Mineola on first degree
robbery, second degree
assault and felony criminal
mischief charges. The 22
year old man was held with-out
bail and a court date is
set for February 17th.
According to police, just
after 3 am on December 19
eight men got into a fight at
the 7-Eleven located at 169
Atlantic Avenue. Tomlin
allegedly got out of a car and
began kicking and pounding
another vehicle. He also
allegedly threatened James
Esposito of Valley Stream,
the occupant of the other
car, with a switchblade and
demanded that Esposito
give him two gold chains. A
fight ensued, and Tomlin is
accused of stabbing Espo-sito
in the arm with a dart.
lyst, chemist, painter, judge,
police officer, electrician,
architect, manufacturer,
teacher and doctor are just
some of the people who wish
to share their career expe-riences
with the residents of
East Rockaway. It is very
encouraging to see neigh-bors
working with each
other for the benefit of the
young people of East Rock-away.
That is what our
community is all about -
working together for
improvement.
The evening has been
carefully planned to allow
the members of the audience
the opportunity to hear
three different presentations
during the Career Fair. Stu-dents
and parents will have
the opportunity to gather
the information that is
essential for the decision-making
required in the high
school and post high school
years.
Everyone is welcome to
join for this exciting event.
Advance registration is not
required. The names and
locations of the speakers will
be available at the entrances
that evening. Students of
East Rockaway High
School, Lynbrook High
School and all private and
parochial high schools are
strongly encouraged to
attend. Parents can attend
sessions with their children
or gather even more infor-mation
by attending differ-ent
sessions.
The East Rockaway High
School and its C.A.V.E.
committee look forward to
welcoming you to the first of
its many annual Career
Fairs.
