Lyn brook
Board Meeting
Annette Ling
A most interesting and timely
feature of the Incorporated
Village of Lynbrook Board
Meeting held on Monday, Dec. 18,
1972 was the appointment of an
Environmental Citizens' Ad-visory
Committee which will
evolve after proper passing of a
new Village Law into a regular
Environmental Commission
which can be federally funded.
The five-person group as of now
includes Dorothy Hornung,
Chairman, Martha Zafonte,
Executive Vice-Chairman, Ann
Mongelli representing the Village
Beautification Committee, Paul
Kramer and Arthur Howell.
Village Board Liason Officer is
Trustee Bill Buzzeo they hope to
save the Lynbrook taxpayers
some money and aid En-vironmental
Control as well by
the collection and recycling of
paper, including newspapers,
magazines etc. which every
Lynbrook resident will be asked
to save and put out for pick-up by
a special Carting Firm which will
pay for it by the ton. It will be on a
weekly basis and Lynbrook has
22,000 residents and over 6,000
private homes so that this could
lead to a tidy sum saved to put
back into village funds and help
Lynbrook and Long Island en-vironment
as well. Target dates
for pick-ups will be North of
Sunrise Highway beginning on
Thursday, Feb. 9,1973 and South
of Sunrise Highway on Friday,
February 10th, 1973. Village
Attorney Jay F. Korth is
preparing a law required under
Home rule to actually appoint the
Committee as a regular Com-mission
just like our Library
Commission and Recreation
Commission.
The Board of Trustees ap-proved
the Minutes of the
previous Board Meeting and
regular monthly reports for
November were given by various
Lynbrook Village Departments.
A Bid for two new Lynbrook
Police Vehicles was approved
after careful study by Chief
Waring and the Police Dept.
Fire Chief Walter Bud Brooks
gave the Fire Dept. Report for
November which pointed out a
total of 67 auto accidents in
Lynbrook and the number of
arrests, finger prints taken,
miles traveled by police cars and
other detailed data. The report as
always was excellent and the
Board was particularly in-terested
in the number of teletype
alarms received from Nassau
Police Headquarters in Mineola
for the month. Chief Waring
answered all the questions of the
Board and explained that Lyn-brook
usually receives calls from
Nassau County and adjacent
Queens and had also received one
from Manchester, New Hamp-shire
about the killing of a Police
Chief there and one of his men.
Mayor Becker read the
Executive Citation to be given to
retiring Police Surgeon Dr. Leo
Kaiser and his work as Police
Surgeon will be taken over by Dr.
R. Bernard Thompson, a life-long
Lynbrook resident and a Deputy
Police Surgeon Dr. Dudley Weber
who will take over Dr. Leo
Kaiser's office. Dr. Leo Kaiser

Plans to launch a major drive to bring about renegotiation of the Defense Department's F-14 contract
with Grumman are announced at a recent Press Conference held by, from left, Rep.-elect Angelo D.
Roncallo, Rep. John W. Wydler, Assembyman Joseph M. Margiotta and Rep. Norman F. Lent.
L.I. Congressmen Fighting For Grumman
Long Island's Republican
Congressional Delegation has
called for a meeting with the
President and a unifying of the
entire New York State
Congressional Delegation as a
starting point in the fight to bring
about the Defense Department's
renegotiation of the F-14 contract
with Grumman.
"The Defense Department's
position, which would require
Grumman to produce 48 ad-ditional
F-14 aircrafts at 1968
contract prices, is ill-advised,"
said Rep. John W. Wydler (R-Garden
City) who requested a
meeting with the President in a
telegram signed by himself. Rep.
Norman F. Lent (R-East
Rockaway), Rep. James R.
Grover (R-Babylon), and Rep.-
elect Angelo D. Roncall (R-Massapequa).
"An uncompromising attitude
on this issue," Wydler added,
"would create a crisis on Long
Island and severely hurt the
national defense." He explained
that if forced to produce the F-14
at the 1968 price, Grumman
would have to close its doors
putting about 20,000 Long
Islanders out of work and the
defense system of the United
States would suffer by being
denied the F-14.
Also attending the conference
and supporting Wydler's
statements were Lent, Roncallo
and Assemblyman Joseph M.
Margiotta, Chairman of the
Nassau County Republican
Committee.
