Santa Claus will make an early stop in Floral Park for a group of children who are usually "forgotten" during the holiday season. This special group of children, consisting of 120 girls and boys ranging in age from 5 to 14 years of age, are from the Queens Psychiatric Center in Bellerose. They will be accompanied by 60 staff members. FULL STORY

Turkey and cranberries, along with a bit of the Holiday bubbly, must have put some "giddyap" in the arms of the Floral Park Knights of Columbus pin spillers, as they "had at" the Sterling Lanes lumber in what has come to be known as The 2345 Explosion! Week after week, their pin-pounding gets stronger and stronger, giving the onlooker a view of what's in store as soon as the year 2000 turns the corner. The writer looks for a "wipe-out" of past records, as week after week there is an upward spiral of bowling know-how and scoring wherever the local Caseys unzip their bowling bags. FULL STORY
