Randolph revealed this week that the town win ucgm a new anti-crime program , in cooperation with the Suffolk County Police. The program will call upon the volun- tary services of Brookhaven ' s four auxiliary police units now located in Patchogue , Port Jefferson Station- Terry ville , Middle Island and Mastic- Shirley . Auxiliaries will conduct automobile patrols in local communities , working under the express direction of the Suffolk County Police Department. The automobiles in the program will be surp lus town vehicles , formerly assigned to the town ' s Park Patrol Unit , which are no longer suitable for full-time or active duty as a result of age . According to Supervisor Randolph , each auxiliary police unit wil l have one car „..«:i«uu c t I i :n a vauauic 101 jjdtiui ciiiu sui veiiicuict; purposes. Trained and qualified members of the auxiliary police will operate the cars and report any suspicious incidents to Brookhaven ' s Park Patrol headquarters at the Bald Hill Ski Bowl in Farmingville. The park patrol will then determine whether a park patrol unit will respond , or if the matter requires action by the Suffolk County Police Department. In the latter case , park patrol headquarters will be in communication with the appropriate police precinct. \I am pleased to see that the town and the police department can work together to provide increased protection in Brookhaven ' s local communities , \ Randolph said. \Over the last several years , many of our homeowners have been victims of vandalism and theft. In some cases , disturbing as it may seem , a few- peop le are capable of repeated criminal acts of this nature. Our new anti-crime program can be an effective deterrent to those who could follow the path of local crime and will also be helpful in preven - ting the successful completion of such crimes as vandalism , robbery and i 1 \ uui gim v . Concern about local crime has been on the increase throughout Suffolk County with several Brookhaven communities expressing their desire to see an expansion of local law enforcement protection. A limited number of villages have proposed , or already have hired , part-time con- stables to supplement the regular police force. However , county officials have been opposed to the use of constables . (continued on p age 23) • See story on page 3A. Pro fsiBs on Town Bd* ccsndidQi&s As he watched hundreds of Girl Scouts and Brownies march ofi to planting areas from atop Brookhaven ' s Holtsville Landfill , Ken Schwindt , ecology project supervisor , laughed with amazement. It' s been a long time since people have been able to *\\&\ \wui oumcLiuug at una luwn laciniy , piagueu during the last several years by dangerous methane gas that seeps through the piles of old , decaying gar- bage. But , on Saturday, when Brookhaven officials greeted some 3 , 000 Scouts at the largest Ecology Day ever on Long Island , it appeared that the town is beginning to come to grips with some of hazardous side effects of landfilling. Noticeably out of p lace in the center of a large , blacktop parking lot was a one story Ranch house i resting on timber moving skids. j The town received the abandoned home which once 1 sat adjacent to the landfill , at 158 14th Avenue in a May I court settlement. The move was estimated to cost $800. ' The town niirchssed the house after lh& fsniii\ who lived there was forced to move when dangerous levels of explosive methane gas was discovered in their home. From the top of the landfill , two other houses , both boarded and empty , can be seen. Families who lived there have moved out hoping to return when the methane problem is alleviated , said Superintendent of Highways Harold Malkmes . The empty lot in between j with a bare cement slab where the town ' s newl y- acquired houses once stood , Malkmes said , will be landscaped . j In a valley between several hundred feet high grass | covered heaps of trash , is a rust-colored smokestack. ] On a crisp fall day, a colorless haze rises from its round ¦ spout : Methane. | (continued on pa ge 19) <k A NEW HOME - Last week Brookhaven Town moved a one-story Ranch house it acquired in a May court settlement to the Holtsvill e landfill on' Blue Point Road where it will become the new head quarters for the town ' s ecology department. Harold Malkmes , superintendent of highways which has jurisdiction of the town ' s composting project , visited the site Saturday as part of Ecology Day. He is shown talking to Girl Scout Leader Karen Zinkowski of East Patchogue. ; I - _ 1 ] ^EXSBS PTl Bm ^^B ^^^ j £ ^ £ ^^^^^^ ^Bi r™n SB E gggg ^g£ y ^g ^ m ^^ ^n y& wgg&r ^09 j ff ® ^ qg&w ^f S m %mP B Jtf S ^mP Mm * m ^VW ^M ^m * ^m* ^M B ^Ml ^ W
