The Village of North Hills also held its organizational meeting Wednesday night, appointing various positions in the village. This included the mayor’s appointment of Trustee Dennis Sgambati as deputy mayor, a position he has held for 20 years, after his re-election in June.

“There were experts, scientists are members of the community,” said Scott McDonald from Our Children’s Foundation following the meeting “and they just were not prepared to receive or understand the testimony that was presented to them by their own admission, and, you know, he explained it tonight. They’re not environmental adjudicators.”

McDonald said one of his main concerns is harmful algal blooms, which can become toxic to humans and animals.

“The DEC was brought in, and they came up with a compromise about planting and ed the approval.

Zoning Board Chair Mario Harris told Grassi following the meeting that the zoning board was placed in a diﬃcult position by other government agencies.

Save Leeds Pond, a grassroots organization that represents the environment as a stakeholder, has recently established the Save Leeds Pond Legal Defense Fund.

The board voted to appoint Doreen Severin as chairperson and Barry Bassik as deputy chairperson of the Village’s Planning Board.

The board also reappointed Alison Chimerine as chairperson of the Architectural Review Board.

The mayor, who was also re-elected in June, congratulated his fellow reelected members and thanked the village residents for voting.

“Thank you all and we’re happy to serve,” Natiss said.

The North Hills Board of Trustees will convene again on Aug. 16.

“William, you were always my hero. I wanted to be just like you, but I didn't play football or basketball like 'The Will', just didn't have your touch. I enjoyed watching you and was always proud to be your brother. Never does a day go by that I do not think of you. What would it be like to be able to call you. I have told my daughters about you letting me drive Mom and Dad’s new car around Tarboro although I was only 14 years old. October 2, 1970, Daddy’s birthday and the day that changed my life. You were my hero before Nam and you are still and one day I hope to walk with you again. I Love you. Mike”
