Dear Civic Members & Neighbors,

I’m sure you’ve been following the news on our Town’s possible sale of over 1600 acres of the remaining open land at EPCAL.

The maneuvers leading up to and the questions/responses during the recently conducted Qualifications & Eligibility hearings have clearly demonstrated that the company that wants to buy this last remaining treasure:

1. a) has created a constantly shifting corporate shield (Calverton Aviation and Technology) that has little in common with the original corporation the Town bargained with (Luminati Aerospace);
2. b) has no concrete and enforceable plans for developing the site;
3. c) will do everything in their power to pay no taxes to the Town.

The time is fast-approaching for a Town decision on allowing CAT to purchase this treasure for a very low price without any concrete plans to help the economy of our Town.  Please take the time to call and/or write to our Town Board members.   You can contact them by phone or email as follows:

Supervisor Laura Jens-Smith

(631) 727-3200 Ext. 251,  email:  supervisor@townofriverheadny.gov

Tell your elected representatives that you do not want them to vote yes in favor of selling the EPCAL land to CAT because CAT has not produced a credible plan for development for which we can determine their qualifications or eligibility and they are not even the same company that the Town agreed to consider for this purchase.  They claim to be a boon to our economy but blatantly claim they will apply for all available tax abatement.

If you are concerned about this poor and far-reaching sale of our last remaining piece of open land, you must be aware that you must make your voices heard.

In addition to calls and email, you must attend the Town Board meeting of April 17th at 7pm.

Your presence alone will demonstrate to our elected officials that we are extremely concerned about this bad deal.  The votes can be visually counted and that is more important than anything we can do.

And if you feel comfortable speaking during the public comment period (at the end of the meeting), so much the better.

We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Calverton Civic

Information for Iphone and Ipad users by Apple

Apple has been issuing several updates recently. It is never required that you do these updates however in many cases the Iphone or Ipad may not work properly or begin to slow down. You may find that your unit is not working properly. These updates will become available but do not install unless you approve. Here are some things to know in order to update.

• When there is an update available you should see the #1 on the settings icon. This lets you know to check for updates.
• In settings scroll down to you find General and click on it.
• Inside General you will see software update.Click on it and follow the update steps.

Important:

• Updates need the phone or pad to have better than 50% battery life.
• You must have at least enough space to do the updates so it may become necessary to remove apps you are no longer using. *** Remember Games, music, videos and pictures take up a lot of space.

You might want to consider using a back-up site to store music, videos and pictures to keep adequate space in the phone.

Updating your PC if you’re using Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft is constantly updating windows

• I hope most people are using windows 10 but if you are not it should be 8.1 Microsoft is phasing out updates for older products. There are NO updates for Vista, XP, 7 or 8. That means why they still work they are not supported and will not always work well or at all with other programs or applications.
• Windows 8.1 and 10 have an automatic update feature and should do it automatically. Sometimes when you go to sign out you might see “update and shut off” or update and restart”. One should be picked.
• Periodically you might want to make sure that the updates have been done. Go to Control Panel or Settings on computer. Look for update and security. Click on it and it should say UPDATES. Under it you should see your up to date; last checked and date. If you don’t see this then click on check for updates.

Our traffic situation has become troublesome. We have a 15mph speed limit yet many of our residents and guests drive much faster than the speed limit. We have many walkers and at times children who ride bicycles in the street. Nothing can be so important to get to, to risk hurting a neighbor or neighbors grand child. Don’t rush; plan your schedule and leave enough time. So!!

“Slow down, you move to fast…” make sure you see the walkers and children playing

In our community we have many” long and winding roads..” so you may not see a driver or walker coming out of the fork and they may not see you.

So if your not sure about an intersection; “stop in the…” belief that it is better to be safe than sorry.

It is not a race so every car, truck, scooter, golf cart, biker etc needs to remember no matter who has the right away, a vehicle is stronger than a pedestrian, a truck more than a car; etc. Don’t be the one who is known as“here I come again…catch me if you can…” Were all a little bit too old for these games.

A corny but true statement: “the life you save may be your own!”
