"that's right, they are under the Town of Hempstead, but are still part of East Rockaway because their children go to East Rockaway schools."

I don't think you understand how this jurisdiction works. The citizens of Bay Park, although they have East Rockaway mailing addresses and send their children to East Rockaway public schools, have their basic services provided by the Town of Hempstead, not the Village. TOH collects their garbage, plows their streets, etc. because the Village does not have the authority to do this on land that isn't theirs.

I understand exactly how this jurisdiction works. My point was, they (Angle Sea and as you pointed out, Bay Park) are still a part of the East Rockaway community because their children attend ER schools, regardless of who provides their services. Also, the residents that I know in these two areas have no complaints about the services they are provided by the TOH. Their problem lies in the fact that they are deliberately plowed in by ER DPW. Luckily for them, the TOH plows faster than ER DPW because the DPW seems to plow the mayor's street and anyone related to Village government or the DPW first. Don't try to tell me this isn't done, because I have witnessed this first hand.
