Rocky Anderson Speaks to New York’s Green Potential
Mayor Bloomberg began the event by noting the city’s accomplishments in sustainability and highlighted goals that may outlast his administration. While New York City has been lucky to have a leader like Bloomberg to initiate such bold plans like PlaNYC and the controversial congestion pricing, Mr. Anderson noted that absence of federal leadership will be more hazardous for this country than both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined. In what could’ve been seen as a doom and gloom, “fire and brimstone” speech on the failings of this Administration, the speech was actually a call to action for regular citizens and elected officials to step up their complaints and fears to concrete actions and policies. Above all, our planet requires strong leadership from one of its leading nations. New York State Passes Carbon Cap Initiative
Some power plant owners are worried that this will cause them to have to raise energy costs to offset the carbon purchases and maintain their energy production levels. It is unknown how much money will be raised from these initiatives, but backers of the measures state that it will fund clean-air projects. Others are worried that some may purchase more permits than they need and then sell them at a much higher price. Others still questioned where mass transit fit into the permit puzzle. This Cap is a step in the right direction, thanks to the Long Island Climate Change Network and Professor Scott Carlin, but there is more work to be done. Stay tuned. More information on the Initiative is available here. New York Post Has Road Rage Against Mayor Bloomberg
Heaven forbid the city created a pedestrian island in the middle of Broadway that gave people a respite and surrounding businesses a boost! Good grief! A bus corridor on 34th Street, a bike lane on 9th Avenue and on Greenwich and Washington Streets- these projects supposedly stall traffic, which was never moving very fast to begin with, and, as the article claims, that pedestrian island “will be deserted come the cold weather.” Perhaps the Post forgot that the City’s parks are still used in the colder weather, or that the city is for people and not cars. Luckily for us, these projects are proliferating throughout the region and New Yorkers are demanding more pedestrian-friendly streets than ever before with bike lanes, pedestrian islands and car-free streets. “Our streets, like parks and plazas, are used and enjoyed on a year-round basis. We will continue to monitor these improvements and make adjustments as required,” Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan said in the article. Nassau Environmental Bond in Question
However, the article states that Legislator David Denenberg is proposing to add another $50 million to the proposed bond for “the construction of a pipe to take effluent from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant out into the Atlantic Ocean” instead of into the bays, where it goes now. While anyone would support such a proposal ordinarily, the op-ed accuses Denenberg of “attempting to rush this through without adequate vetting,” like a feasibility study or cost projections, and that taxpayers should have the choice to approve the additional funds. The article states that Denenberg believes this additional money will “lure additional state and federal funds” for the project. While there is no guarantee that Denenberg’s proposal will or won’t lure in any big fish, Nassau voters should have the opportunity to choose how much they’re willing to pay for cleaner waters. |
On Thursday, September 4, former Utah Mayor Rocky Anderson challenged New York City to rise up to a leadership role in efforts to combat climate change. The event, entitled “Combating Climate Change: A Leadership Imperative” was sponsored by the Regional Plan Association, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. While Mayor of Salt Lake City, Rocky Anderson led programs and created policies that enabled the city to reduce is CO2 emissions by 30%. He also took on big developers in Salt Lake City, curbing sprawl and creating more regulations to prevent uncontrolled suburban growth. In 2005 he was honored with a World Leadership Award for his policies around global warming and the accomplishments of his city. After completing his term of office, Mr. Anderson continued to engage citizens and organize mayors to reduce their cities’ use of fossil fuels.
In light of the lack of federal emissions standards, New York recently joined nine other northeastern states in setting standards to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to help fight against global climate change. The State Enviornmental Board set a cap on the amount of CO2 that can be put into the atmosphere to hold steady the emissions through 2014, when a reduction is to begin. Power plants and other CO2 producers must purchase allowances for the carbon dioxide that they emit and users will be able to sell the allowances that they do not use. To further off-set costs, they can also fund re-forestation projects.
If ever a newspaper aligned themselves with automobiles and the rights of the road over pedestrians, then the New York Post would come out on top. On September 2, writers Chuck Bennett and Melissa Jane Kronfeld labeled Mayor Bloomberg’s initiatives for more transportation alternatives and livable streets as “road rage-inducing projects” in their article “Anger at Mike the Road Hog.” Supposedly, these projects are being carried out in retaliation for losing congestion pricing, and are making “city drivers miserable with a series of pedestrian-friendly projects.” 
Come this fall, Nassau County voters may vote to put another $100 million environmental bond on November’s ballot. The past bonds were overwhelmingly supported in 2004 and 2006 despite their price tags of $50 million and $100 million, because voters supported preserving open space and clean water. According to Newsday’s editorial entitled, “Clouding the Bond Issue,” most Nassau voters would be willing to support another bond despite these economically hard times. |
On May 24th, a project ten years in the making finally broke ground. The Harrison Hale Community Action Center will offer tutoring and mentoring for children, senior services, and an employment training program. Bishop Hale rallied church members as well as community members in a celebration with performances by praise choirs and a sermon delivered by Hale. The Action Center is set to open in late November.
The Helping Hands Association held their annual scholarship luncheon on June 14, 2008 at the Smithtown Sheraton. The organization provided scholarships to over a dozen graduating seniors in the Gordon Heights Community recognizing them for their academic achievement. Students received a range in scholarships with one special student receiving a four-year scholarship.
Although the summer is over, the momentum in Gordon Heights is still growing as our Gordon Heights Knights football teams prepare for another undefeated season and the community heads into the September 27th Visioning Meeting. Rocky Point Concerts Huge Success
Northport Celebrates Summer with Family Fun Nights
Residents of all ages came out to enjoy the good weather and exciting activities. The outdoor dining alone was such a huge success that some village officials proposed a resolution to allow outside dining throughout the Village on a provisional (test) basis, through October 15, 2008. Hopefully this event will become as much of a community tradition as Cow Harbor Day, which is coming up soon on September 21st. 4-Star Variety Store Opens in Downtown Bay shore
At a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this summer, Mr. Schuman was joined by Islip Town Supervisor Phil Nolan, Islip Town Councilman Steve Flotteron, Suffolk Legislator Tom Barraga, Bay Shore Chamber of Commerce President Donna Perricone, Vision Long Island's Executive Director Eric Alexander, and representatives from True Value Hardware Store and the community. Vision Long Island supports stores like 4-Star for their commitment to keeping businesses thriving in downtown settings. Sag Harbor’s Old Bulova Factory to Become Luxury Condos
The decision brings some serious issues facing the East End to light, such the dearth of affordable housing and its increasing gentrification. The article states that “to approve the redevelopment, the village zoning board had to override a Suffolk County regulation that would have required 20 percent of the condos to be sold at prices working people could afford.” The developer claimed that due to the high costs of cleanup for the Superfund site they couldn’t afford to include affordable units. In exchange, the developer offered $2.5 million for a community trust fund to create affordable housing nearby, which the village accepted, and to buy a historic church for the village. Vision Long Island and other advocates from the region had joined many residents in demanding that the Village Board include affordable units or at least mixed income units. The Bulova project is emblematic of occasionally conflicting community priorities, pitting affordable housing against historic preservation and brownfield redevelopment. While luxury housing may have won the battle, the greater war for Sag Harbor now is to preserve the modern “mom and pop” nature of their community.

Things have really been buzzing for the Gordon Heights community this summer. From the ground breaking on the new Harrison Hale Community Action Center to the Annual Gordon Heights Day Celebration, virtually every weekend was filled with a community event.
Throughout the month of June, the Greater Gordon Heights Civic Association (GGHCA) worked with the Town of Brookhaven Youth Bureau to provide prom dresses for seniors who could not afford them. The program was very successful and the GGHCA is looking forward to participating in the program in the future.
Gordon Heights celebrated its 81 anniversary in the traditional style of an all-day festival. The day was filled with activities for all ages. Present were many of the representing elected officials and community leaders. With this year’s theme being “One Voice”, several organizations aided community residents with voter registration. The Junior Fashion Show designed by a community resident and performance by a local rising star ended the evening in style. This event was so energized, even the rain could not stop it.
On August 28th, Councilwoman Connie Kepert along with members of the Gordon Heights community, the Town Of Brookhaven’s Community Development and Intergovernmental Affairs Department, and Vision Long Island celebrated the completion of the brand new bathrooms at the Children’s Park in Gordon Heights. Councilwoman Kepert called it a clear step toward improving the quality of life for the residents since the bathrooms will allow for camp programs to be held at the park. As per the Suffolk County Health Department, parks are required to provide permanent bathrooms for camp programs. The project was totally funded with Community Development Block Grant funds costing approximately $150,000.
This summer, downtown Rocky Point jumped and jived with a summer concert series that drew residents from all over Suffolk County. The series began in July with an oldies show featuring the band “Risky Business,” that brought all ages and families to St. Anthony’s of Padua in the downtown. It ran well into August with an outdoor screening of the musical “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and ended with a great finale from the Billy Joel tribute band “Big Shot” on August 26th. 
This popular band performed to an overflow crowd of more than 4,000 people. The summer series was sponsored by the Fischer-Hewins VFW Post 6249 and was made possible by a generous grant from Suffolk County Legislator Dan Losquadro. Legislator Losquadro held these events to both highlight Rocky Point and provide free entertainment for residents. “In these tough economic times, events like these give a boost to the local economy and offer enjoyment for the entire family,” Legislator Losquadro said.
This Tuesday, August 26th the Village of Northport celebrated the end of summer with the final Family Fun Night. Main Street was closed to all vehicular traffic and in its place were treasure hunts, jump rope contests, limbo, live music, dance contests and antique cars. Vendors lined the streets with interesting gadgets and hand-made crafts. 
4-Star Variety Store, a small and locally-owned chain, opened its latest location in downtown Bay Shore in the Town of Islip. The shop's owner, Tom Schuman, is committed to opening locations in downtown settings, as seen by other locations he has in downtown Farmingdale and Northport Village.

Interpreting the Ruins of an American Dream
The article focused on the city of Merced, California which, with a population of only 80,000 saw unprecedented growth in the years before the housing crash. Developers had built 4,397 new homes in the dozens of new neighborhoods that were approved without a thought to uncontrolled growth and limited natural resources. Now Merced faces what many communities throughout the nation face: empty shells of homes, vandalism, an increased homeless populations, and rising foreclosure rates. As the article points out, with “as many as 2.5 million homes in the United States entering foreclosure this year, and, at best, sales of only five million existing houses, the foreclosure price is becoming the rule in many areas,” the only push the housing industry is getting is from cleaning up foreclosed homes. Which, perhaps, is the only right move considering that there are fewer customers and less demand for new houses. In California, where drought and pollution are frequent guests, questioning growth and development is a good thing. “We have to stop thinking that more growth is always the answer,” Ms. Lashbrook, a commissioner with the Merced County Planning Commission, points out in the article. “We have more housing than we need. We need jobs.” Long Island can certainly learn from Merced, as this region slowly devours remaining open space for housing developments. Do we have the demand for more single-family homes? Do we have the water and resources to support this pattern of development? Most of all, can Long Island even sustain this type of growth without becoming a carbon copy of Merced?

North Pole Now Completely Surrounded By Water
Interestingly, the article notes that Sarah Palin, Sen. McCain's VP pick, "holds that the scientific consensus that global warming is melting Arctic ice is unreliable." Read more from The Independent. Neighborhood Ratings as a Real Estate Tool
“It serves as a warning,” said Bryant Walker, a San Diego internet marketer who created the website. “There’s just stuff that real estate agents will not tell you, and [prospective buyers] can come to our website to find out.” While the information certainly isn’t hard evidence about a neighborhood, it can be a “heads up” to other issues in the neighborhood. Ted Gounelas, an agent at Coldwell Banker in Moriches says that “as a form of entertainment, it’s great but you really can’t take it as fact. I would not base an actual economic decision, meaning whether I invest in a home in an area or not, on all this opinion.” Basically, that is all that the website can offer- the tattles, opinions and complaints of neighbors. But sometimes it is better to know a community’s character before attending the first PTA meeting. |
In the final week of August, the New York Times published an article by David Streitfeld called “The Ruins of an American Dream.” As we all know, it is the dream of home ownership that lies ruined for many Americans. Caused by a frequently blinding national dream, foreclosures now blight cities and suburbs alike. 
According to 
In international news, according to an article published in UK-based publication, The Independent, the North Pole can be circumnavigated by water for the first time in human history. Writer Geoffrey Lean reported that "new satellite images... show that melting ice last week opened up both the fabled North-west and North-east passages, in the most important geographical landmark to date to signal the unexpectedly rapid progress of global warming."
Last month, we wrote about the website Walking Score, a real estate tool that allowed prospective residents to rate how walkable a community is. Now, a website called

Eye sore of the month: Suburban House-Style Penthouses Sit Atop Upper East Side Apartment Building
This month, file our eye sore under "what were they thinking?" because we are at a loss for words. As reported in the New York Times, this penthouse apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is purposefully styled like a suburban home. One must question why a project like this was built, let alone approved. At least it's in a walkable community! Read the entire article from the NYTimes here. Sight for Sore Eyes: Amish Wind Power
