Goldstein Program For State-Funded Youth Centers
additon to the growing network of
youth councils being formed
within the Town of Oyster Bay,
whose purpose is to sponsor
activities in the interest of the
youth of the community.
The Council plans to develop a
special youth service project
which will be funded through the
cooperation of the TOBAY Youth
Bureau matching every dollar
the Bethpage Youth Council can
raise, up to $2,500-.
Four operating committees
have been established and of-
Joseph Goldstein, Republican
candidate for the Assembly in the '
11th Assembly District, has
promised to introduce legislation
designed to vastly expand youth
programs in local school dis­tricts.
Under Goldstein's plan, the
State would pay the school dis­tricts
100 per cent of the costs for
the establishment of Youth Cen­ters
within existing school facili­ties.
.Goldstein noted that most
school districts, especially on
Long Island, are in too much of a
financial pinch to support such
programs on their own.
"Like the telephone and the
family car, the need for neigh­borhood
youth centers is no
longer a luxury which we can
afford to do without", he said.
"They are a necessity, just as
vital to a youngster's over-all
development as his regular
schooling.
ficers elected.
Walter Lippincott, a senior at
Bethpage High, and Gordon
Schaetzel, former president of
the North Bethpage Civic
Association, were elected co-presidents.
A local merchant,
Bernard Fink, was named vice-president.
The treasurer is
Robert Santangelo, secretary
Carmela Altamore and sergeant
at arms Dennis Lazarus.
A general meeting is planned
for Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. in the
Bethpage High School Little
Theatre.
"And what better way to keep
our youngsters off the streets and
out of trouble than to provide for
them a wide range of supervised
activities through which to
channel their pent-up energies,"
Goldstein asked.
The Youth Centers would be set
up in existing school buildings,
u t i l i z i n g gymnasiums;
auditoriums, and other recrea­tional
facilities on a year-round
basis.
The State would pick up the tab
for all expenses, such as supplies
and equipment, maintenance and
supervisory personnel, and all
other contingent costs.
The centers would be open on
afternoons, evenings and week­ends
at hours to be designated by
the districts.
Goldstein charged that the
incumbent Assemblyman cal­lously
voted against funding the
1.1 million in State aid for youth
projects during the past legis­lative
session.
