Scuderi Not To Run
ANTHONY J. SCUDERI whose
name appeared as a candidate for
Trustee on the petitions filed
Tuesday, February 23, 1971, for
the coming Lynbrook Village
election under the name United
Home, filed a statement declin-ing
to run for that office.
Mr, Scuderi, who was vaca-tioning
in Florida, when inform-ed
by telephone that his name ap-peared
as a candidate, im-mediately
telephoned Mr. Vitelli,
the Lynbrx)ok Village Clerk, and
informed him that the petitions
with his name were circulated
without his consent, approval or
knowledge.
He further stated that he has
no connection with the United
Home and had never heard of that
party. That although he knows
Mr, Kostyrka, he had never dis-cussed
running for trustee with
him.
Mr. Scuderi declined not only
by telephone, but by telegram
and by sending a letter of de-clination
which was acknowledged
before a notary public in St. Lucie
County, Florida,
He nonetheless expressed his
appreciation to those people who
signed the petitions for their ex-pression
of confidence in him.
Mr, Scuderi is a former acting
Police Justice and Village At-torney
of the Village of Lyn-brook.

Avenue and St. James Place,

The meeting is the first in a
series of informal dialogues

Lent for the 5th Congressional
District,
"Now that our high school
students are approaching voting
age, it's important to help bridge
the gap between what young
people want and expect from
government and what govern-ment
can deliver," Lent said,
"Since I am their voice in
Washington, I welcome frank
and open discussion of the
issues on their minds."
Lynbrook's Students Win Awards
Four Lynbrook boys and a girl
have won awards for outstanding
skill in the occupational fields
they hope to enter in adult life.
The youngsters won their a-wards
bi occupational skill con-tests
conducted at the Southwest
Center in Freeport, a facility
operated by the Nassau Board of
Cooperative Educational Serv-ices
(BOCES). The young peo»
pie are enrolled part-time at
the BOCES Southwest Center
where they are taking occupa-tional
education courses. They
are enrolled in academic high
schools for the academic half of
their education.
The award winners are:
Dennis Darcy, 22 Harvard

Francis X. Becker, Mayor of the Incorporated
Village of Lynbrook has been named co-chairman
with Mayor Cowan of Lindenhurst in a coordinated
effort by New York State Villages demanding what
Becker termed, **equitable State aid revenue
sharing.*'
Under present legislation, the proportionate
share for villages is substantially less than for
cities even if they are of equal population and
provide similar services. While Mayor Becker
acknowledges that there are certain technical
differences in a city charter as opposed to a
village charter, he is adamant in demanding that
villages providing the same services as cities
and with equal or greater populations must share
State Aid dollars on an equal basis. He cited
the situation between Lynbrook and Glen Cove
as an example. The Village of Lynbrook with a
population of 23,400 received $82,000, while the City
of Glen Cove with a population of 25,400 received
$800,000.
He added that he is considering a proposal to
the Conference of Mayors which would recommend
that the constitutionality of the present apportion-ment
be challenged through the Court.
Thus far, Becker has met with State Senator
Norman Levy and Assemblyman John Thorp and
is leading a delegation of mayors to Albany on
March 5th to further his demands to Governor
Rockefeller.
