The Suffolk Legislature Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution \ requesting that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission require that the Long Island Lighting Company conduct a study of the feasibility and cost of converting the Shoreham electric power generating station from nuclear to conventional or ^. H-^„„„±: r 1 >» anci iiduvc iuei. It was a bill nearly identical to one narrowl y defeated by the legislature at a meeting two weeks ago. The reason for the change of heart was said by some legislators to be a result of a combination of factors , including the escalating controversy over the project , a recognition by legislators of a negative attitude toward Shoreham among con- stituents and an alter a tion in the original resolution ' s provision that the county ' s special attorney on nuclear matters , Jr- ving Like , make the request to the NRC. LILCO , which continues to have enor- mous power over the Suffolk Legislature -- indeed , LILCO lobbyist Elaine Adler spent most of the meeting in Riverhead in the legislative backroom buttonh oling lawmakers -- has been campaigning to limit Mr. Like ' s activities on behalf of the county . The new resolution called for the clerk of the legislature to inform the NRC of fVl£i o^»tir\r* WA UtV/ VXwtlVHl The resolution was sharply criticized by Ted Goldfarb of Science for the People for arranging for LTLOO to be the organization in charge of the conversion feasibility study . The original legislation had called for joint direction of such research by LILCO and the county . Dr. Goldfarb , a chemistry professor at the State University at Stony Brook , called for an \independent panel\ to loo k into the issue , one \independent of the self-serving interests of LILCO . \ Goldfarb said : it is against the economic self-interests of LILCO \ to examine the matter honestly. \LILCO' s primary (contin ued on page 27) ^fiBftw M H ffiia £•¦ B 5 era JS * BS EB *s>* Mr *' __ HH _ ^ H B @H H fii B ¦¦ %| gqp^pi ^mbt m MJ ^ 9 Jk AllAlAiBfl Q IIMS ^K K «« K » ^im*. ^fck, B jy iflfe dh ^^ JL ^ A > mg£ ^* *g^ «7uii\/ i iv i.t?|jBdiuiurt? s»eeit& lu ru r^ e PfO SS O off ri iJ^I^O f Ol^i^f nlf ArnnTti#£i e Twisted remains of Virginia Annabelle ' s car You couldn 't hear the strains of \Taps \ and there were no tears or floral tributes. The errant Volkswagen belonging to Virginia Annabelle had met an ignominious end. It lay in the impound yard at the Brookhaven Town landfill site -- a rusting hunk ot twisted metal. The Volkswagen odyssey began on Feb. 28 when it was stolen from a parking space outside the Bay Community School where Ms. Annabelle works as a teacher. The following day she received a call from police saying that she would have to remove the car from the ice on Bell port Bay about a mile off Bel l port Village Dock , where it had been aban- doned by the thieves. Before this could be ac- complished , however , the rains came and the weather turned warmer. And , eyewitnesses said they saw the automobile sitting on an ice floe , moving westward . Tt was varinnciv reported south of Mud Creek and near Long Cove on Fire Island , but no one knew for certain. About a month ago , it was finally located in eight feet of water , about 2 l 2 miles off Watch Hill on Fire Island .

The school board fel t that first option for purchase of the property should I be extended to the Town of Brookhaven , and on S March 2 , apprised the town board of its decision to sell the parcel and offered it for sale to the a Town of Brookhaven . On March 15 , Supervisor § Randolph responded that the town would not buy 1 the property. The school board felt that it had no § alternative but to offer the land for sale and 1 decided to p lace a proposition on the ballot of the annual election to that effect. Since the publication of that proposition , known as Proposition 5 , there have been ex- pressions of public sentiment to preserve Pep- permint Park as a children ' s playground . The board of education desires to have the sen- timents expressed to the Brookhaven Town Board so that the town might reconsider its negative reply of March 15. School Board President George A. Mason , Jr., states that the board encourages all interested persons to make their feeiings known to the supervisor and member s of the town board. Information indicating that the town board might be more receptive to the purchase of this and it is because of this information and other public sentiment that the board asks district residents to please express these sentiments to the town council. Executive Assistant Hugh S. MacLeod stated further that the place on the machine for Proposition 5 will be marked with the word \Deleted\ and that the voting keys for Proposition 5 will be locked in place when the public votes on June 6.
