I- V FARMINGD4LE OBS , M » < WHERE THE HISTORY OF YOUR COMMUNITY IS RUORDED WEEKLY An Of fioiaf Newspaper of The Incorporated Village of FarminRdale Serving Greater Farmingdale, Bethpagc and MelvUle Vol. 8 No. 28 Second Class Postage has been paid at Farmingdale, N. Y. 11735 Thursday, March 4, 1971 GIRL SCOUT WEEK COMING LP - County Executive Ralph G. Caso presents proclamation designating the period March 7- 13 as Girl Scout Week in Nassau to ( from left) Cadet Jenny Bodendorf and Junior Paula Antun, both of Westbury, and Mrs. James Karcher of Earmingdale, president of Mid- Island Council of Girl Scouts. Big Money Problems Burden School Board Money was the subject of most of the discussions at the Farmingdale School Board last Monday. The district's problems are being compounded by a lack of increase in state aid to education in public schools and the takeover of Republic airfield by the tax-exempt Metropolitan Transit Authority. ^ Trustee Terry Weathers, who asking for support. The local civil believes the lack of aid is the bigger problem, described the " insensitivity of everyone in the legislature to the needs of public schools throughout the state as incredulous." He said that the answers from Albany in reference to state aid were " deeply disturbing and deeply negative." The board unanimously passed a resolution to meet with local legislators about the aid situation. Trustee Tom La van said it should be a well publicized Friday night meeting with a packed auditorium to really impress the legislators. Dr. William A. Kinzler, superintendent of Schools, repeated that the MTA takeover would cause the school district to loose eventually close to a million dollars of revenue. He explained that the community has risen together in opposition to this takeover without adequate compensation. The School, Library, Village Board and Youth Council have met and each will be informing their counterparts in other areas of the state about the problem and Village Firemen Plan For Memorial Day Don't look now- but Memorial Day r just around the corner says Deputy Chief Gus Schlingloff of the Farmingdale Fire Dept who will again host the annual parade this year on Monday, May 31. Entry forms for parade participation have been mailed to all participants in last years parade. However, if any organization was inadvertently missed, or if an organization just recently formed and would like to have a place in this year's line of march, additional parade entry forms may be obtained by calling CH9- 9820 or by stopping by the Village fire house. Leave your name and address and an entry form will be immediately dispatched service employees, PTA, and CTA as well as other community groups are contributing their efforts. Dr. Kinzler commented that the basic issue involved, one which could in the future face other communities, is that the people in Farmingdale are paying for a facility which serves the whole state. The new Citizens Financial committee, working on the problem of state aid, has started with a core of 15 members according to chairman Edward Kennedy. Board President Lucille Goulding has sent telegrams in the name of the board, to legislators, stating that the first obligation of the Legislature is to the public school children of the state, saying " We strongly urge that you not approve aid to non- public schools until and unless this primary obligation is fully met." There were some comments from the public that because of loss of income, budget cuts should be considered, including some in the area of sabbatical leaves. In line with the policy of allowing girls to participate on varsity teams in non- contact sports where no such sport is available on a team basis for girls, the school board approved the participation of Denise Martorana as member of the golf team. Two new courses were announced for September 1971. A Home and Building Maintenance, a general course open to both sexes, will be offered by the industrial arts department and Sociology will be offered in line with directives from the State Department of Education to make 12th grade social studies a choice of electives. The board also announced that the swimming pool would now liave two sessions for open swim on Thursday night, one from 7 to 8: 30 and the second from 8: 30 to Marilyn llamctz Vacant Library Seat Was Filled - Almost The Farmingdale Public Library wound up with a trustee to fill the seat left vacant by the unheralded departure of trustee Carl Gorton -- almost. As things stand now not much chance exists that the seat will be filled by appointment. This could mean a vacancy until July 1, 1972 when Gorton's term would have expired. Unless the next school board election due in May will be utilized, as is permissible, to elect a new library trustee. The almost decided upon trustee was Robert W. Leopold of 2 Arthur Street, Farmingdale, an associate professor of mathematics at the State University at Farmingdale who along with four other residents had expressed his interest for the vacant seat to the Library Board. And so the board, having asked publicly for these applications, met in executive session to decide on its course of action. It shall be remembered that the board has, in accordance with advice received from the office of the State Commissioner of Education, a number of alternatives: Appointment of a trustee to serve out the unexpired term, election of a trustee at the next scheduled school board election or which would be May 4 ( unless that date is postponed), or election of a trustee at the regular time at which this seat had to be filled again, meaning July 1, 1972, with the result of a vacancy lasting more than one more year. The Library Board chose the alternative of an appointment. That was what the executive meeting was all about and what - made Mr. Leopold for a fleeting moment a trustee. The ground rules established for this meeting called for balloting. For each of the four trustees a slip of paper was made up carrying the names of the five applicants: Catherine Russell, Seymour Weinstein, Rose Foucek, Walter Kooker and Robert Leopold. With the exception of Walter Kooker, who had to cancel out twice, each candidate was interviewed by the board previously. Next to each name two columns were drawn, one for Yes and one for No. Any candidate receiving a majority of Yes votes, in this case obviously three, would be in the running for a final determination first by the board members privately and then at a public meeting. If only one of the five candidates received a majority he or she then would be the automatic choice of the board to be presented to the public. This is how board chairman Warren Altmann and board members Crocco and Callahan understood the informal agreement among themselves. They thought that trustee Irwin Jaccvsky read it the same way. That they were mistaken became obvious just after only one of the five applicants, namely Robert W. Leopold, received three votes - from Messrs. Altmann, Crocco and Jacovsky. This precious moment of unanimity between Altmann, Crocco and Jacovsky was too short to be fully appreciated, to ephemeral to be properly savored. Mr. Jacovsky immediately withdrew his support of Mr. Leopold. The Board of Trustees of the Farmingdale Public Library is still faced with a vacancy and three alternatives in dealing with it . . . ( revert to the third paragraph from the top). In absence as in presence LIA Supports Oyster Bay- Rye Bridge In a meeting with Governor Rockefeller, leaders of the Long Island Association of Commerce and Industry urged " immediate construction" of the Nassau to Westchester bridge spanning Long Island Sound, a stand that should make them highly unpopular in the northern reaches of Oyster Bay Town. They also urged that efforts be priority to the Nassau crossing continued to achieve a bridge link because of the " urgency of the between Suffolk County and New need and the practicalities of the England. However, they gave situation." In addition, they " strongly" recommended that " as an integral part of the bridge plan there be included a complete piggy- back rail facility in the Port Chester area for handling Long Island goods which must now travel through New York City to and from New Jersey. In addition, a truck freight terminal for consolidation and distribution of long- haul shipments to and from Long Island should be part of this plan." According to Fred E. Merrell, LlA's Executive Vice President, " We see the bridge as a boon to lx) ng Islanders because of the ease of travel it will provide to points upstate and in New England. We see it helping to reduce the cost of goods pur chased bv the consumer on Long Island/'" Donkey Basketball Farmers vs. Dalers The Farmingdale Senior High PTA. is sponsoring a Donkey Basketball Game for children in grades 4, 5, and 6 ( younger children may attend only if accompanied by an adult). The date is Thursday, March 11, 1971, at 4: 00 P. M. in the Farmingdale Senior High School gym. The price is 50 cents for children and $ 1.00 for adults. Tickets will be on sale in the school's during lunch hours on Tuesday, March 9, and Wednesday, March 10. Tickets will also be sold at the door. Money raised from the Donkey Basketball Game will support the Scholarship Fund. Mr. Gorton is causing trouble. Messrs. Altmann and Crocco feel that Mr. Jacovsky was acting in an un- gentlemanly manner, that he did make a commitment to abide by a decision of the majority readied in a democratic way and that refusing to honor his promise is neither sporting nor cricket. Mr. Jacovsky on his part unequivocally denies that he ever made such a commitment, that he never understood this informal polling to be a binding vote and that his vote for Mr. Leopold indicated his willingness to meet Messrs. Altmann and Crocco halfway but that out of the four candidates he voted for Mr. Leopold was his last choice and that he would certainly not agree to make him the only choice. Furthermore, says Mr. Jacovsky, he only found out then and there that he was deceived by Mrs. Altmann and Crocco because they had given the impression that they did not know Mr. Leopold very intimately although the opposite is more the case. This then is where matters stand and with its present ideological division the Library Board is unlikely to come up with a majority decision and even more unlikely an unanimous consensus as to whom to recommend for the vacancy. The publicly elective process appears to be the only uncontroversial solution and in this respect Mr. Jacovsky made clear his position in favor of the earliest possible date, to wit May 4 of this year. St Killian's Choir Invited To Vienna Among the many honors received by the St. Kilian Boychoir, another outstanding one has been added and one which may bring this already renowned Choir international acclaim: It has been invited to perform in Vienna, singing with the Vienna Symposium of American Chorale under the direction of Prof. Gunther Theuring, in a performance of Mahler's " 8th Symphony". The Boychoir would perform the important part of the " Knabenchor", which the Symphony requires, in the Vienna Konzerthaus August 1971. Although this invitatiori is a great opportunity no decision to either accept or reject the invitation has been made. Financial arrangements have to be resolved inasmuch as the Boychoir is a self- sustaining group. The Choir has a full schedule of concerts for March including a performance at St. Frances de Chantal's " Family Night" in Wantagh, March 9. On March 14, they join the St. Kilian Chorale in a Lenten Concert featuring Verdi's " Stabat Mater". The following week, March 21, at a Pro- Arte Concert, the Boy choir will sing Stravinsky's " Persephone" conducted by Dr. DeCarvalhoat C W Post College, March : « ) brings them to the Julliurd School of Music at Lincoln Center for a concert.

Remember Bar Rafaeli, the famous Israeli model who was in news for dodging military service that is compulsory for both Israeli men and women? Well, she is back in news but not for any other evasion of any national service this time. Bar Rafaeli has topped the list of the 100 hottest women in world compiled by one of the top fashion magazine, Maxim. As a price, she gets to be the cover girl for Maxim.Maxim is a actually a men`s magazine based in UK that has a huge readership among men all over the world. So Bar now enters the Man`s World in Maxim`s hot hundred!The cover of Maxim shows Bar Rafaeli in a bikini. The black stringy bikini leaves little to imagine. Bar has actually lowered her bra to the extreme and stripped down to the barest minimum for this magazine cover. The pose given by Bar Rafaeli in this bikini is just as tantalising as her super hot body. Along with the black bikini, Bar Rafaeli has sported a pair of dangling gold earrings and chunky gold bracelet. Her makeup is just as perfect as her proportions. Maxim has surely made no mistake by choosing her as `the` hottest woman in the worldThe Cover Story:The story is about 100 of the hottest women in the world and as per the survey, Bar Rafaeli is now the` hottest woman in the world. She is famous for being the girl who drove Hollywood`s darling, Leonardo Di Caprio crazy! No wonder even the British royalty is also not immune by her beauty. Sometime back Prince Harry was in news for literally begging Bar Rafaeli for a date! She states her preferences in what she finds attractive in men. According to the cover story, she finds a man`s teeth to be most appealing.Bar`s Underwear Brand:Just a couple of months back, Bar had posed nude for an artistic photo shoot to promote her new underwear brand `Under Me`. The photographs and television commercials were in black and white. They showed her stark naked stepping out of a steamy bath. Bar seems to be taking time out to admire herself in the mirror wondering what to put on. Nobody is complaining about watching the super hot babe in her birthday suit. After all it is all for the sake of art. But then aren`t you supposed to wear the product you are selling? There was no hint of the underwear in the commercials but surely had some classy shots. Hopefully, Bar Rafaeli`s upgraded status as the world`s hottest woman should help her promote her brand.Do you agree that Bar Rafaeli is the hottest woman alive?
