Tom Williams (Carmans River Partnership) Presents to ABCO Membership |
|
Mr. Tom Williams, from the Carmans River Partnership, addressed the June 15th ABCO membership with a very interesting and informative presentation on the Carmans River. Clearly articulating why the Carmans River, a unique pine barrens river, is so very special; Tom clearly enumerated the threats to this beautiful watershed which included invasive species, development and the leachate plume. Looking forward, he felt the key to protecting the Carman River was to define the watershed. Tom is hopeful that the Suffolk County Heath Dept. will be able to apply a new computer modeling program in this endeavor and that more land mass near the headwaters are better preserved. We thank him for the all the hard work Tom has invested in preserving this Suffolk County treasure for generations to come!

Former ABCO President Lori Baldasarre Honored for Work on Heritage Park |
|
 Lori Baldasarre, past president of ABCO and former president of the Mount Sinai Civic Association was the recipient of the VLI- Stakeholder Participation Award for her work in establishing the Mount Sinai Heritage Center. As the former President of the Mt Sinai Civic, Lori Baldassare and the MSVA were instrumental in the creation of an amazing park and community center. The Heritage Center and the Wedge are shining examples of just how a dedicated civic organization and hard work can fight a large development project, while also mobilizing local residents to advocate for a wonderful park as a small slice and lasting snapshot of their heritage.
Attached is a short video about the park and heritage center shown at the awards ceremony:
