Hydrofracking on the Table for Tuesday's BHCA meeting

Sen. Tony Avella and Alley Pond Environmental Center's education director will be on-hand to discuss the technique.

State Sen. Tony Avella, D-Bayside, and ’s education director will discuss at the Bayside Hills Civic Association’s meeting tonight at 8 p.m.

The meeting will be held at Bayside’s Colonial Church, located at Bell Boulevard at the intersection of Luke Place and 216th Street.

Guest speakers will include Avella and Ailene Euler, Alley Pond’s education director.

Hydrofracking is a technique in which a mixture of water and sand is forced down an oil well in order to create fractures in the oil-bearing rock and thus release more oil.

Avella has introduced legislation that would ban the use of hydraulic fracturing.

Attendees will also hear updates from the 111th Precinct.

The meeting will also include raffles and refreshments.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
