LOOKING BACK ON 1984: WHAT THEYLL REMEMBER MOST
AS the year drew to a close, the Long Island Weekly section asked a random selection of Long Islanders what they will most remember about 1984 on the Island. Here are their replies: Robin Horsley of Bellport, a teacher: When I look back, I am constantly amazed at Long Islands resilience. Despite incessant battering by developers, county and state improvements and careless people, she manages to shine through her parks, her beaches and her ambience. Long Island is a survivor.

Legislators and medical authorities were inundated with complaints about water pollution. In Nassau County, which has one of the highest cancer rates in the nation, the public finally began to assert itself - as evidenced by the protest over the Oceanside landfill. It had been going on for at least a decade. But the voices of the people were not heard until this year. In 1984, we saw the beginning of the peoples revolt against pollution.
