Phase II of Lynbrook
Recycling Program Instituted
Trustee Norman Dreyer, Liaison to the Department of
PubUc Works, siiows Mayor William Geier and Trustees
Steve Grogan and Eugene Natale the blue recycling garbage
cans that were distributed to each household beginning on ers each
January 14, 1989. Recycables wUl be collected by the
Department of Public Works starting on February 6,1989.
The Village of Lynbrook
leads the way with helping
to improve the environment
with the implementation of
Phase II of Lynbrook's Rec-ycling
Program on February
6, 1989. Lynbrook began its
recycling program with
Phase I last August with the
collection of newspapers. In
these past five months, Lyn-brook
has collected approx-imately
18 tons of newspap-week
which
previously would have been
sent to a landfill. The new
phase of the program, the
first for local municipalities
in the area, will include the
separation of glass and metal
food and beverage
containers.
On January 14, 1989, the
Department of Public
Works began delivering at
no cost to each resident a
blue plastic garbage can
solely for glass and metal
recyclables. Contained
within each receptacle deli-vered
is a flyer explaining
Phase II of Lynbrook's Rec-ycling
Program.
For the Recycling Pro-gram
to be a success, the
Village of Lynbrook must
have the cooperation and
assistance of all our resi-dents.
The results will be
worth the effort. Since glass
and metal containers do not
bum, it only makes sense to
Marion Streeters Win Round 1
ERHS #6 In State
According to the latest
basketball polls, published
in the Farmingdale Wee-kender,
January 14, 1989,
and the Newburgh Times
Herald, the East Rockaway
Varsity Girls Basketball
Team is ranked 4th on Long
Island and 6th in New York
State. This recognition was
achieved after victories over
Freeport, Roosevelt, and
Farmingdale in the presti-gious
Freeport Invitational
Tournament. This annual
showcase tournament for
the county powers of girls
basketball was held at Free-port
High School during the
Christmas holidays. East
Rockaway was the smallest
school in the tournament
and came home as tourna-ment
champion. Cheri Nel-son,
senior, forward, was
voted Tournament MVP
averaging 19 points a game
and pulling down IS
rebounds. Also Chrissy Nel-son
and Chris D'Agnessa
were voted to the All-
Tournament Team.
In league play, Nassau
County Conference VI, the
Rocks are undefeated at 8
wins and no losses, that
includes a decisive victory
over last year's Class "C
Champion, Malverne. At
this point in the season, the
Rocks record is 15 wins and
1 loss. The girls have won
13 straight games after suf-fering
the only blemish on
their record by losing to
Farmingdale before the
Freeport tournament.
The girls* accomplish-ments
this season have been
recognized by college
recruiters as well. Some of
the schools that are inter-ested
in the seniors are NYU,
Columbia, Mt. St. Marys,

Marion Street Elementary
School will be represented
by Christopher Dom-browski,
Michael Kastin
and John Mclnemey in the
finals of Trivia Challenge
*89> aa annual educational
competition benefiting the
United Cerebral Palsy Asso-ciation
of Nassau County,
Inc. The group will face
winning teams from other
Long Island schools at the
Nassau County Police
Department Headquarters
Auditorium, Mineola, on
February 6th and 7th in a
countywide playoff.
The winning team will
receive an engraved trophy
to display in their school for
the coming year. Individual
competitors also earn valu-able
prizes based on the
amount of money raised
through sponsor pledges.
"The competition pro-vides
youngsters with an
exciting educational chal-lenge
while heightening their
sensitivity to the feelings of
disabled individuals," said
Miss Doreen Belli, coordi-nator
and organizer of the
school event. "Students
obtain sponsors who pledge
money for each correct
answer. For many of the
participants this is an intro-duction
to philanthropic
giving."
To reach the finals, the
Marion Street Elementary
School team has demon-strated
an ability to answer
questions on a wide variety
of subjects, from art and
literature to sports, enter-tainment,
geography,
science and history.
UCP Nassau is a non-profit
agency which provides
comprehensive education,
medical, therapy: and other
support services to 1,000

Challenge '89 will be pres-ented
at the agency's annual
Youth Conference in March.

recycle the materials to
create new containers. In
addition, each ton of recyc-lables
that is removed from
the waste stream reduces the
cost of solid waste disposal
to the Village and ultimately
the taxpayers, as well as
helping to improve our
environment.
The items to be placed in
the new recycling garbage
can beginning the week of
February 6, 1989, are all
glass food and beverage
bottles and jars. This
includes food bottles and
jars, wine, Uquoi, soda and
juice glass bottles. Labels do
not have to be removed from
glass or metal containers but
the bottles/jars must be
completely cleaned out.
Glass items, not collectable,
are drinking glasses, light
bulbs, mirrors and ceramic
glass. The metal containers
that will be collected are
clean food cans animal food
cans, juice cans and beer and
soda cans. Those that are
NOT collectable are aerosol,
paint, oil and pesticide cans
or bulk scrap metal.
The collection of these
recyclables will be once each
week. The schedule for the
