LYNBROOK HISTORY

‘Never in a million years’ Connecting a piece of Lynbrook history

By ART MATTSON Lynbrook Village Historian I received an email from England recently. It was a message I never, ever thought I would get. It was from a descendant of a man who froze to death, and who was buried in a mass grave in Lynbrook 177 years ago along with dozens of other shipwreck victims.

I own the oil painting that you see ar right. (It’s currently on loan to the Long Island Museum at Stony Brook.)

It’s titled “The Wreck of the Mexico” by James Fulton Pringle, and was painted in 1837. Walt Whitman wrote about this exact scene in “Leaves of Grass.”

The painting depicts a tragic shipwreck just 200 yards off Long Beach. In the painting, the captain and the crew are seen abandoning ship, leaving 115 immigrants to freeze to death on the deck of the ship. The frozen bodies were later interred in Lynbrook in a mass grave called the Mariners Burying Ground.

When I researched my book “Water and Ice — The Tragic Wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico on the South Shore of Long Island,” I searched long and hard to find descendents of the eight survivors of the wreck. I failed. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would find a descendant of one of the victims.

Yet that is precisely what has happened.

Steve Brown of Cheshire, England, emailed me that he has been researching the genealogy of his family for years, but a persistent mystery has always remained: his great-great-great grandfather, Joseph Combs Brooks, a skilled paper maker, was known to have sailed to America in the autumn of 1836 when he was 28 years old, leaving his wife Hannah, three sons and a daughter behind in Derbyshire, England. Brooks’ goal was to establish himself in the U.S. and then to send for his wife and children. He was never heard from again.

Until this year, that is. Steve Brown was searching the web for his ancestor

Village historian Art Mattson owns The Wreck of the Mexico painting, which is now on loan to the Long Island Museum at Stony Brook. when he struck gold on my Lynbrook history website, www.Lynhistory.com.

Brooks’ name was listed on my site, along with many other victims of the Mexico shipwreck. The listing read: “Joseph Brooks (28) Paper Maker – England (Derbyshire).” Everything matched. (Joseph Brooks was Scottish, but he had moved to England.)

Brown subsequently purchased my book on Amazon.com, and learned the awful details of his ancestor’s death by freezing. He also began to understand the unremitting grief that Hannah Brooks must have felt when she lost all contact with her vigorous, highly skilled, 28-year-old husband — the father of their four children.

Four years after Joseph Brooks disappeared, his eldest son, also named Joseph, desperate to learn about the fate of his father, sailed to America. It must have been a fresh agony for Hannah to see her son off, but the young Brooks made it safely to Pennsylvania.

It’s not known whether he ever learned of his father’s fate, but we do know that young Brooks stayed in America and served in the Union Army

Steve Brown of Cheshire, England, is a descendant of a victim of the wreck of the Mexico 177 years ago. during the Civil War. So the mystery of the disappearance of Joseph Brooks 177 years ago has been solved for his family. As the historian of the Village of Lynbrook, I get great satisfaction in uncovering lost pieces of our village’s past. But when it impacts someone as it did Steve Brown of Cheshire, England, it is really something special.

LIVING IN EAST ROCKAWAY EARLY HISTORY Originally named Near Rockaway, the village began as a shipping and trading center for the south shore of Long Island.

The location was desirable for ships because of its deep channels inland.

A grist mill was eventually built on the Mill River by Joseph Haviland through a land grant in 1688. Some time later, an oven was purchased to make bread for the surrounding popuEast Rockaway lation.

The village's name was changed in 1869 to East Rockaway, and was incorporated in 1900, with Floyd Johnson as its president. At the time of incorporation the town had a population of 969.

EAST ROCKAWAY TODAY According to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the population of East Rockaway is estimated to be 9,854. The Incorporated Village of East Rockaway is in the Town of Hempstead, and is adjacent to Lynbrook, Hewlett and Oceanside. The primary ethnicities are Italian and Irish. The Waverly Park neighborhood, near the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Center and along the border with Hewlett, has a sizable Jewish community.

Bay Park, while sharing the same zip code as East Rockaway, is governed directly by the Town of Hempstead.

The Bay Park area sustained extensive damage to many of its homes when Hurricane Sandy hit the community on October 29, 2012. Nassau County's Bay Park Sewage Plant discharges between 58 million and 65 million gallons of treated sewage a day into Reynolds Channel.

SCHOOLS East Rockaway’s two public elementary schools, Centre Avenue and Rhame Avenue, serve grades K-6 in the East Rockaway school district No. 19, and one Junior/Senior high school for grades 7-12. St. Raymond’s Catholic school consisting of pre-k through 8th grade, is also in East Rockaway. The western portion of East Rockaway is part of school district 20, the Lynbrook school district. Its Waverly Park Elementary School, which feeds into Lynbrook South Middle School, is located in East Rockaway.

Annual school musicals and the inter-class competition known as Rock Rivalry are widely popular throughout the community.

HISTORY OF EAST ROCKAWAY

Courtesy HSERL

The Village of East Rockaway has completed restoration of its war memorials on Atlantic Avenue.

By PATRICIA C. SYMPSON, PHD. President, Historical Society of East Rockaway & Lynbrook The village of East Rockaway has recently updated its war memorials located in Memorial Park — and they are quite impressive.

There are flags honoring the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action.

The World War II Memorial has been redone in such a way that one can feel the action the servicemen experienced.

The World War I monument, a tribute to its war veterans, is in the center of the arced path and was first designed in 1915. Its Roll of Honor names of hundreds of men who stood up to serve.

Several families had multiple sons go off to battle.

I am not a veteran, but my father was. He never spoke of his time in service, other than to say that Australia was beautiful. He was on his way home then at the end of World War II. This fall, the Lynbrook East Rockaway Historical Society will be talking of the War of 1812 and we will be recounting wars and politics of the last two decades.

Courtesy HSERL

The World War I monument in East Rockaway as it stood in 1919.

We often quote Santayana who reportedly said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

I would urge residents to amble down to Memorial Park and slowly read each of the names memorialized on those plaques, and to gaze at the plaques commemorating veterans of Korea, the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Wars are fought. Wars are won. Wars are lost.

Wars should not breed repetition.

I ask myself why I wanted to write an article about War Memorials. I will share with you an aside. When I was researching the origination of Memorial Park, in the official papers of village records, the word "memorial" was crossed out. I could find no further explanation of that, but at the time I thought perhaps they too hoped that the Memorial Park would be the last one needed to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

VILLAGE OF EAST ROCKAWAY

T

he Village of East Rockaway continues to grow and regain its beauty.

Those looking to buy a house should know that our village is a wonderful place to live, and home prices continue to hold their ground even in today’s uncertain national economy.

People want to live here because of our great government services, affordable homes and small town feel. It’s a winning combination that continues to draw homebuyers to East Rockaway, while also strengthening neighbors' spirit and bond to our area.

East Rockaway is also just one of a handful of governments that has cut taxes across the board for three of the past four years. Working with my colleagues on the village board, we make fiscally prudent choices to put money back in every taxpayer’s pocket without a reduction in village programs or services. Our top priority is stretching every tax dollar, while cutting expenses and overhead. Standard & Poor’s raised our bond rating before the summer, reflecting our "very strong economy, very strong budgetary flexibility, adequate budgetary performance, very strong liquidity, strong management, and adequate debt and contingent liability profile."

In today’s challenging economy, this is the exact type of government and proper fiscal management that allows our community to grow and prosper.

While we continue to rise after Superstorm Sandy impacted the South Shore, the village continues to improve its

infrastructure with new signage, roads and drainage, maintenance and development of parks, recreation facilities, and improvement of parking fields. To date, we have completed 13,000 linear feet, or roughly 2.2 miles, of reconstructed roadways. The village has Francis T. Lenahan refurbished both Oxbow and Minore parks, completed road repaving, and had a stellar record of snow removal in one of the harshest winters in recent memory. Our building department assisted home and business owners with rebuilding. The village board and I waived all Sandy-related construction fees in order to help people get back into their homes and businesses.

Our downtown and business district municipal lots have been updated with new state-of-the-art meter stations that accept credit cards, and parking regulations have been retooled to help our local merchants grow. We have many available parking areas for shoppers both on the street and in designated lots.

Since my administration began in 2011, we have set East Rockaway on a new and better course — one that Newsday called a "Community Comeback." We continue to work together welcoming new neighbors and merchants into the village, ensuring that we are not only moving forward together, but we’re also retaining East Rockaway's small town appeal and excellent quality of life — all of which identify our village as a charming nautical “Community by the Bay.” FRANCIS T.

PATHWAYS Lymphedema Therapy Therapy

Monica Moskowitz, PT, CLT Elyce Shwom, OTR/L, CLT

Dr. Karen Monstein, PT, MS, DPT is the owner/director of one of the first facilities to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to outpatient treatment in order to restore and maintain optimal function.

• Each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation leading to an individualized plan of care by one or more of our therapists.

• We offer treatment for all conditions, acute or chronic in nature, which cause pain or limit physical function.

• Most insurance plans accepted.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that can’t be ignored! Swelling of an arm or leg left untreated can lead to skin infections and other complications.

Complete Decongestive Therapy is a technique which utilizes lymphatic pathways to empty and decompress fluid-filled areas, allowing the limb to return to near normal size.

SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE

T

he Lynbrook Schools are proud to introduce two new programs to the district this school year. The first of these took place over the summer for our middle school students.

We established a Summer STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) Academy, whereby students participated in two courses dealing with robotics and video game design. Our goal is to expose students to exploratory project-based learning that will allow their creativity and minds to soar. Our belief is that they will be the inventors and trendsetters for the future so a solid foundation in these technical endeavors will prove to be worthwhile.

This year all elementary schools will host science fairs to spark the imaginative mindsets at a young age. In fact, the school district is making a concerted effort to emphasize the importance of STEM activities as a continuum through all grade levels.

The second program introduced this year is the internship program for high school students. Students will obtain a business sponsor and work as an intern in the profession of their choosing.

Enabling students to gain experience in the workforce is extremely valuable when making future life decisions. It’s beneficial for students to gain this life experience prior to making college decisions and selecting majors for their post-Lynbrook plans.

We are grateful to the community that is so very supportive of the educational initiatives that help us achieve our goals. Passage of the budget and proposition proposals allows us to strive

for our maximum potential. We dedicate ourselves to the education of the whole child by emphasizing continual improvement in teaching strategies and allocating support staff resources to help cope with the social and emotional needs of children. The community’s encouragement of the schools in these Dr. Melissa Burak areas is most appreciated.

Over the summer, major construction work took place at South and North middle schools. The track and tennis court areas were renovated at South, while the addition to North began in full force as well. Maintaining our facilities continues to be an area of focus. Parking lot resurfacing, bathroom upgrades, door replacements and room renovations also took place throughout the district.

To keep abreast of all the happenings in the district, please visit our website at http://www.lynbrookschools.org, or download our app to read about the latest news topics. Our calendar can be found on the homepage, so feel free to attend our concerts, plays, and musicals. There are also numerous sporting events to attend as well, so please join us!

We are looking forward to a productive upcoming school year by serving the students and community of the Lynbrook public schools.

We have redesigned our reading support intervention model at our elementary schools and have added two reading teachers to support our new model.

I would like to thank the community for their support throughout the year and especially during our annual budget process. Budgeting within the tax levy cap has been a challenge; however, with creative strategies, we were able to pass a budget which complies with the New York State property tax levy cap.

Our budget-to-budget increase of 1.23 percent, was the lowest in more than 10 years. Through careful planning and analysis, our Board of Education and administrators have developed a budget that preserves all of our current programs and provides for all staffing needs.

We have also launched a new website recently which we hope will serve as an effective means of communication for our parents and community members.

Please visit us at www.eastrockawayschools.org for the latest information and events, as well as updates regarding our strategic planning process. Our district calendar can be found on the homepage and on the homepage of each building. We look forward to a dynamic 2014-2015 school year supporting the East Rockaway students and community.

The Town of Hempstead, founded in 1644, is the largest township in the United States, encompassing 142 square miles with a population of approximately 760,000 people. Within the Town there are 34 unincorporated areas and 22 incorporated villages, more than 65 parks and marinas, and 2,500 miles of roads.

Under the current system, the Town of Hempstead is overseen by a town supervisor — currently Republican Kate Murray — and a six-member Town Council. The six members of the council are elected from one of six councilmatic districts. The supervisor has a two-year term, and the council members have a four-year term of office.

The supervisor serves as the chief executive officer of town government. She presides over all town board meetings, directing the legislative and administrative functions of that body. The supervisor also oversees the day-to-day operations of a municipal government of 24 major departments, employing just more than 2,100 people. As the chief financial officer of the township, the supervisor is responsible for the creation and the implementation of a town budget.

Council members are responsible for adopting the annual budget, amending the town code and the building zone ordinances, adopting all traffic regulations and hearing applications for changes of zone and special exceptions to zoning codes.

GREETINGS FROM THE CHAMBER This is the 12th year the East Rockaway Chamber of Commerce has been serving the residents and friends who shop in our local stores. We've been very busy, so let me tell you about some of the events we've hosted, and what is still up coming.

This year we were happy to welcome several new businesses to our community. We held grand opening ceremonies and ribbon cuttings for each of them.

Pastor Mark Lukens from the Bethany Congregational Church was selected and honored by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Businessperson of the Year for East Rockaway. In June, we held our fourth annual networking barbecue, graciously hosted by the VFW in East Rockaway.

Everyone had an enjoyable time.

We sponsor a car show every Monday night during the summer from 6 to 10 p.m. in the parking ďŹ eld across from Reel and adjacent to the post ofďŹ ce. July 14's car show was a special fundraiser, with all of the proceeds going to Kamp Kiwanis to help send some local children to summer camp.

This year we will host an East Rockaway Festival on Sun., Sept. 14, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Ocean Avenue by the East Rockaway train station. We will have many vendors that will offer arts and crafts, food and more. Please bring the whole family for a fun day!

Our 10th annual networking and awards dinner is scheduled for Nov. 20. More details will be available soon on our website.

The East Rockaway Chamber of Commerce also hosts a banner program. Each banner will include a sponsor recognition area on the lower quarter of the banner, giving the mer-

chant an opportunity to promote their business. These attractive banners add great charm to our village as well. If anyone is interested in getting a banner, please contact me.

The East Rockaway community was devastated by Hurricane Sandy two years ago. There were a lot of busiDebbie Hirschberg nesses and homes that were destroyed, and many are still struggling to come back. I'm very proud of how this community came together to help one another. East Rockaway has become stronger than ever, thanks to the many community groups working together helping their neighbors.

This is my ďŹ fth year as president of the Chamber; moving forward, my emphasis will be placed on attracting additional businesses to the few remaining store fronts, and bolstering businesses that are already established in the village. We also plan to continue to support scholarship funds and working with the local schools. With cooperation from the local businesses, we will help reestablish East Rockaway as a vibrant and safe place to live, shop and raise a family. A growing membership and active participation is imperative for a successful Chamber of Commerce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t joined yet, please consider doing so today.
