In 1966, then-Chairman of the Senate Committee on Prisons, Senator John Dunne,
came up with an idea for an art show featuring paintings and other works by inmates in
prisons across the state. !n the 20 years since then, the Legislature's annual "Correction on
Canvas Art Show" has developed into a successful showcase for the artistic talents of
prison inmates. To honor Senator Dunne for his support and commitment to the program,
sponsors of this year's 20th Corrections on Canvas Art Show presented him with a special
commemorative gift: a clock embedded in a ship captain's wheel.

Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon today
announced the arrest of Michael Limongelli, the former
Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety for the'
Town of Hempstead, on seven counts of Grand Larceny in
the First Degree, Conspiracy in the Fourth Degree and a
'violation of the Civil Service law. Limongelli, 52, of 2745
Cheshire Drive in Baldwin is charged in a nine court indict­ment
with forcing employees in the Town of Hempstead to
buy tickets to various Republican Party affairs.
Dillon said, "While a Commissioner of the Department of
Public Safety in the Town of Hempstead between 1979 and
1984 Limongelli is accused of extorting money from seven
employees in his department. He is alleged to have forced
these employees to purchase tickets to Republican affairs
and with the threat that if the tickets were not so purchased,
their position with the department would be adversely
affected. The Grand Jury found that the employees were
told that if they did not buy tickets they would lose their
assignments and overtime."
Limongelli surrendered to the District Attorney's Special
Investigations Bureau this morning. He will be arraigned on
the charges later today before Nassau County Court Judge
Marie Santagata. Grand Larceny First Degree is a "C"
Felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Conspiracy

four years in prison. The Civil Service Law violation
entitled, "Prohibition against certain political activities -
Imp'-'jper Influence" is a Class "A" Misdemeanor, carrying a

It's not like any wedding you've attended recently. It's a 19th century wedding where
visitors will become "guests" of a bashful bride and groom simply by attending the
"Mid-19th Century Courtship and Marriage Rites" at Old Bethpage Village Restoration,
Saturaday and Sunday, April 19 and 20, from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
On Sunday morning, only ladies will be allowed to visit the Williams House durmg the
dressing of the bride. This is done in honor of the custom that it is bad luck to be seen by a
man in wedding apparel prior to the ceremony. Men, on the other hand, will be allowed to
visit the groom and his entourage, while his bride is dressing.
At 2:30 PM., after all arrangements have been made, visitors will see a re-enactment of
the marriage at the Williams House. Visitors may also participate in the reception and
enjoy wedding cake and a bit of 19th century dancing.
