Lynbrook voters re-elect trustees, choose a new justice, pass a referendum Residents supported Lynbrook’s New Vision Party candidates and a referendum on the Fire Department’s Length of Service Awards Program in March 18’s village election. Richard Fasano was elected village justice. Previously he was a juvenile justice prosecutor in the New York City Law Department in Queens County, and handled violent felonies and homicides as an assistant district attorney in the Bronx County district attorney’s Domestic Violence Unit. He earned a law degree from St. John’s University Law School. Trustee Michael Habert successfully secured re-election. A retired first-grade homicide detective with 26 years of service in the New York City Police Department, Habert also brings his expertise as a trained hostage negotiator and for-
mer detective investigator with the Kings County district attorney’s office. He has been serving as a trustee since 2023. Deputy Mayor Michael Hawxhurst was also re-elected as trustee. With over 30 years of experience as an internal audit director and a master’s degree in taxation from St. John’s, Hawxhurst has served as deputy mayor since 2019. In addition to the elections, the referendum to extend the Length of Service Awards Program benefits for Lynbrook’s volunteer firefighters passed. The program will now allow volunteers to earn benefits for up to 50 years of service, increasing the total maximum benefits to $12,000, up from the previous cap of $7,200 for 30 years of service. — Ainsley Martinez
was honestly very surprised because it’s my first year doing photography, and I was just entering my photos into contests just to try it out.
