ElM- i»aN.Y. ti 6 » ELEVENTH ANNUAL FREEPORT BOAT SHOW drew a crowd from the very beginmng, and also brought back memo ries of the very Tint boat'ihow for Charles Pigadis of Lake's Yacht Sales and Marian Knoeller who organized the very first show at Sunshine Marina. That year, it rained for an entire week and Mrs. Knoeller remembers malung *huodteds of'eups of coffee’*. Trust better weather is in store for her daughter-in-law Anna KncueUer, who this year'lsTsssisiant coordinator of the affair. But most boat loven will say, “ Whatk a little water, anyway?” a w Q < w . - j w B H J Quiet places There U an area north of Milbum Pond on the Freeport'Baldwin Jborder, where rare birds can sometimes be spotted. The observant can find titmice, chickadees, car dinals, yellow throat warblers, catbirds, brown creepers, natcraektra, flickers, downy woodpeckers, .red bellied wbod- pecken, herons, kingfishers, rusty black birds, snipes, woodcocks and ducks. There are ferns and wildflowen and a variety of brees including Atlantic White Cedar, Red Maples, Black and White Oaks, and White Pines. 'There are coutal pepper bushes and spice bushes. It is a quiet place of natural bMUty and serves also as a rechugilng area for the local water supply. It was-almost-the site of a new housing development. But Chandri Jagwanl, who purchased the land from Naimu County last June, h u agreed to sell it back for the same price, in the first agreement struck under County Executive Thomas Culottak Open Space Preservation Program. The move signals the Countyk new determination to preserve such environmentally sensitive areas, One can imdgfne the County .fathers, committed as they mayhe to the protection of the enxiionment, will be looking to see if the public shares the same priorities. A ho- hum attitude toward this fint acquisition will mean they will find It more difficult to ' make future acquisitions.'A resounding applause will make It much easier. The homeowner, who worries about his or her own property values because two. hoiues are going to be built where one ele gant old home once stood, has no trouble deciding to fight over-development. Prob; ably, the whole block can be marshalled' Once the change is a fait accompli, it may be difficiilt to keep up the fight. Still, local dvlc organizations have become important voltes for local residents, and the Town of Hempstead is attempting to address some of their concerns about overdevelopment with its new, proposed tree ordinance. Res idents hope for rules that will preserve as many as possible of the stately old'trecs that provide the shaded character of their neighborhoods. This area also needs to preserve as many ’ as possible of the undeveloped woods and meadows that provide fresh air and water and quiet plates where Natureb creatures can live in peace, and we can share that peace also.
