A Nautical Festival update
from Mayor Andrew Hardwick
Freeport has enjoyed the Nautical
Mile Festival and the celebration of
its nautical heritage for a
number of years. However,
as a consequence of rising
costs and requests from
Freeport's first responders,
the Nautical Mile Business
Association, and the
Chamber of Commerce,
the Festival will be moved
from its June date to
October.
The summer months are
the busy season for the
businesses on the Nautical
Mile, and the Nautical
Mile Business Association
as well as the Chamber of Commerce
made it clear that hosting the Festival
Major Hardwick
in June will hinder their business
operations. This recommendation to
host the Festival during
the fall, more specifical-ly
during the month of
October, would help and
encourage business for
the merchants and pro-vide
additional savings
to the village.
If you or someone
you know are interested
in helping the Nautical
Mile Festival be a suc-cess
this year, please
contact the Mayor's
Office and ask to be a
part of the Freeport
Nautical Mile Festival Committee,
377-2252.
The mother of all civics?
by Laura Schofer
The fate of the county's sewage plants
was a hot topic when the newly formed
Nassau County Coalition of Civic
Associations held its first meeting last
week at Lido Beach Park.
The organization was founded "to
form a united voice to address issues that
affect our county and to work together to
help our neighbors navigate through the
bureaucracies of local government, pro-tect
our environment and improve the
quality of life for the people of Nassau
County," reads its mission statement.
The coalition is made up of nine board
directors, each representing the nine state
Assembly districts in Nassau County. At the
meeting, eight of the directors were
installed. The coalition is still looking for a
director to cover Region Five, which
includes the northwest corner of Nassau
County.
Each director will act as a liaison
between the coalition and civic groups
within a region, bringing up issues of
countywide importance to the directors.
No issue will be addressed that does not
have two-thirds approval from the board.
"We are here because we believe pub-lic
oversight is necessary," explained
Region Four board director Ray Pagano
of Oceanside.
Each board member echoed that senti-ment.
Phil Franco, representing Region
Seven that includes Seaford and
Wantagh, said, "The .county is not
responding to us, so we must take the
lead."
Claudia Borecky, representing
Region Six that includes North Merrick
and North Bellmore, added, "The idea
of this coalition is a belief that we can
make a difference. There are those who
hope we fail and think this coalition is
