City Now Hiring Summer Lifeguards

Parks Department is seeking lifeguards for city pools and beaches.

Looking for a summer job and a way to keep fit?

The Department of Parks and Recreation is looking for lifeguards to man the city’s pools and beaches.

Lifeguards work 48 hours each week and first-year lifeguards will earn a minimum of $13.57 an hour, for a weekly salary of more than $650.

City beaches are open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day and pools are open from late June through Labor Day.

Prospective lifeguards (at least 16 years of age), must pass a qualifying swim and vision test, and if accepted, must then complete a training program, which involves 40 hours of classes, CPR training and a final swim test.

More information on the program can be found here.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
