Environmentalists vow fight on Middle Island project

Environmentalists are digging in for a legal fight against Sandy Hills, a planned "smart growth" community in Middle Island that they say violates state laws designed to protect the central pine barrens region.

Will someone throw a net over Dick Amper and bring him to a mental institution for the rest of his natural life. I would like to shove a pine tree up his... He is elected to nothing by no one and has no right to ave his manical views heard by anyone no less have the pwoer her does. I say we lock him up in the reactor building at Shoreham.

Never mind, you just keep on fighting for nature, Dick. There's far too much housing for humans and not enough for wildlife. To those that don't like nature, move to NYC and enjoy all that concrete.

Sorry, I meant "Richard". Isn't censorship a beautiful thing.

This is the area that takes credit for starting the environmental revolution when it banned DDT.

Har! Har! Har!

It's only about bucks with politicians. See how much migrating birds donate (compared to developers).

So much stink over this development but everyone looked the other way with respect to Ridge Greens where 79 homes are being built on some of the most pristine land in the pine barrens.

I am from Ridge not from Wyandanch.

I'm sorry, "Bewildered" but I had to laugh. A completely anonymous comment misidentified you as being from Wyandanch and you felt compelled to tell us you were really from Ridge.

Says a lot for Wyandanch. And you're not so bewildered as to not realize it.
