In other news, local organization hopes to make dream of ball fields a reality at state park.

 

John McQuaid is a trustee of Kings Park Youth, Kings Park’s largest organized youth sports group. The organization is trying to find a solution to problem that has dogged them for years; the lack of available playing fields for the more than 1,000 kids that make up KPY.

The Kings Park St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee presented $500 scholarships to two graduates of the Kings Park High School Class of 2012.

Battery Storage Warehouse Proposed For Old Northport Road

An Arlington, Virginia company has submitted an application to the Town of Smithtown Planning Department for the construction of an 119,000 square foot warehouse on Old Northport Road. The site essentially stores energy that can be used at peak times of the day when surges in energy use are seen. The energy stored would be received from the Long Island Power Authority grid and the stored energy would be released to it.

Hmmm, now I wonder who or what organization could be doing this illegal act? I'm not going to make an educated guess who could be involverd in this deed but I think if Kings Parkers do some research they are smart enough to figure out who does not want the real facts of the "Uplands Project" to come to light. Displaying these signs is a way of making the public aware of the atrocity of this project. Questions will then be asked. Making a night run to remove them is, at the least, a cowardly act that should be publicized every time it occurs!
