would be very helpful to be able to print out this list, but the attachment doesn't print, and it won't drag, either.
Paula Daniel October 28, 2012 at 10:12 pm
List needs to be posted as a regular page since mobile like iPads cannot view Flash based pdf
Jeff Goubeaud October 28, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Kate, try sending it as an email to yourself and then try to print it off of your computer after saving it........worth a try.

Once again the Town government stumbles forward in a haphazard way. Maybe the surge can clean up the Russell administration"s mess , full of crony pernicious simple ineptitude and embematic of a stain on the beauteous fork .

Hey guys, I typed it into the post. Hope that helps.

Seems to me to be a little early on issuing such an order. What does "Parts of" actually mean? Plus regardless of where you live if your home is at an elevation above sea lever than that of the shelter how does evacuating make sense? Think the emergency mgmt team needs to revisit their plans...after all most of the North Fork are in danger no matter where you are.

In all fairness, the Supervisor is working with lists given to him by the various fire departments. When I called him about our location ( Mattituck, south of New Suffolk Avenue), he acknowledged the ambiguity of the language and said he would be meeting with the fire chiefs this evening and would ask them to be more definitive. I live at least 20 feet above the Bay and do not plan to evacuate.
Cathy Heller October 29, 2012 at 12:18 pm
You can copy it into a word processing file and print it that way.
Kate October 29, 2012 at 12:30 pm
Yep! Thanks!

Not the time to be a politi-troll, more important things going on right now.
Michael Edelson October 29, 2012 at 04:07 pm
This is to state that I, Michael Edelson, did not write this comment. Given the seriousness of this subject, I would expect at least intelligent people to be just that...intelligent. I know who pulled this "prank". He is known to some as "the lapdog".
Erin: Please pull any and all of these "Mickey" comments. Thanks.

Does anyone know what parts of August Acres were evacuated? I have a home on August Lane. Thanks!

north fork magazine MAY 2013 issue on left & my original illustration on right.
Rena Casey-Wilhelm June 15, 2013 at 09:32 am
even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."
Rich from the East End June 16, 2013 at 08:02 am
Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.
Scotty June 16, 2013 at 08:41 pm
And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.

I've just tried to do a Google search for you and from what I've found you need to either check withRead More your local library to see if they have one they might lend you--OR--try Audio/Visual online companies. There are some which DO rent projectors for days or weekends. I have one but just checked with my husband and at the very least it needs a replacement bulb(which are fairly expensive)--hasn't been looked at in years so there's no way I could guarantee it would work. You've definitely given me an idea, though--I'll get mine in shape at some point and rent it to folks for a nominal sum. I'm sure there are many others who have old film they'd enjoy viewing for family reunions as would my own family. Good luck. If you don't succeed for next weekend, you have other options. At the very least you might be able to have the film transposed to a DVD and distributed to your family members although that's costly too, depending on how many copies you need. Just a thought, but you could add the old footage in with some taken AT the reunion as a nice follow-up gift for the attendees?

I think it adds character.

I believe this photo is a poor example of pollution on Long Island. I would prefer to see and photoRead More of a million dollar home with a lush green lawn mowed to a bulkhead above the waters edge. I believe the excess fertilizers used to keep the invasive specie of the lawn grasses green along with the broad-leaf pesticides to keep the "weeds" controlled are a prime source of pollution to our local bays, estuaries and ocean front.

Thank you for your comment Steve, we have a big section of the land pollution chapter specificallyRead More about run-off pollution related to pesticides and other toxins.
