Lynbrook Week in Review

Didn't have a chance to look at Lynbrook Patch this past week? We're recapping all of the stories covered since Monday, Sept. 6.
   
On Sept. 6 (Labor Day), a train engineer reported having possibly hit a person on the railroad tracks near the Lynbrook train station. Power was cut and trains were stopped for about an hour while police and MTA officials investigated, but they concluded that there was no evidence of a person being hit. It was not clear what the train may have hit.   
   
Lynbrook village officials discussed plans to redevelop the Mangrove Feather building, located on Broadway and Langdon Place, as loft condominiums. The village is currently seeking developers.
   
Lynbrook students returned to school on Sept. 7. In the afternoon, the Lynbrook Owls varsity boys football team played their first game of the season, a 33-0 victory over Bethpage H.S.
   
A Nassau judge ruled that Dan Maloney, a candidate in the Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District, had enough valid signatures on his designating petition to run in the primary. Campaign supporters of Frank Scaturro, another candidate in the primary, had challenged signatures on Maloney's petition.
   
On Sept. 8, Lynbrook Patch profiled Stitches from the Heart, a knitting and crocheting group that meets weekly at the Lynbrook Public Library.

On Sept. 11, Long Island residents gathered at Town Park at Point Lookout to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The Village of Lynbrook also held its ceremony (look for story tomorrow on Lynbrook Patch).
