Annual
Report of
the MUNICIPAL
OFFICERS of
the Northport
Village Corporation August
8, 2006 It is appropriate that this year’s Annual
Report be dedicated, with great appreciation, to our retiring Clerk, Eleanor
Lagner. There would be no Annual
Report if Ellie had not revived the tradition of its publication under her
tutelage, editorship, and insistence. When Ellie became Clerk of this little
Village many years after she first came to Bayside, she recognized that the best
way to assure that Bayside’s citizens understood this uniquely special Village
was to communicate effectively with it. Hence,
the Annual Report was reborn. Ellie’s connection to this Village long
predates her tenure as our Clerk. She
has selflessly shared her memories of her first visits to Bayside, with her
memories stored in the files of The Bayside Historical Preservation Society.
She tells of her first adventures in Bayside, starting as a young girl in
1938 – we won’t say her age then, to her first meeting with a young sailor
named Dick studying at Marion Eaton’s Sailing School,
to their courtship. These memories center on games, and family,
and fun. Between Bayside, games, and
family, Ellie taught generations of Morse High School English students the rules
of grammar and the love of literature. In
her “retirement” she has served as a proofreader of medical record
transcriptions and as our venerable Clerk. As Clerk, she has obtained a grant to
preserve our Village records, organized our files, and endeavored to preserve
the sense of community that binds this Village.
Through this Annual Report, she helps us know who we are and why we are
here. We dedicate this volume of the Annual
Report to her as she steps back from the role of Clerk to thank her for
reminding us of what’s best and true about Bayside.
