SUMMARY:Tunnel to Connecticut-Vincent Polemeni
DESCRIPTION:At LIMBA we usually take well conceptualized idea (I think that’s a word)\, and present it to our audience to evaluate\, and hopefully\, adopt. This mornings meeting was a little different. The proposal to connect The end of Rt. 135 to Rye NY by tunnel was presented by prominent builder\, Vincent Polimeni. What was interesting about this meeting was the input from the audience. The presentation was relatively short. However the Q&A period turned out to be an open conversation with the speaker. The audience raised some interesting questions that led to this more "free form" discussion. Questions about tunneling under residential neighborhoods\, such as; would it be possible to tunnel without causing vibration damage in dwellings nearby? What effect on the water producing aquifers would the tunneling have? How would you compensate people for the ground rights? ( Just as real estate has "air rights" it also has ground rights). What would be the financial impact on the existing bridges in Queens? And\, would the estimated $8 dollar toll be a deterrent to using it? \nThis is an idea that is in its’ embryonic stage but it’s worth studying. After a study has been made\, and these questions are answered\, LIMBA could be supportive\, because the reduced air pollution and new rail access the tunnel would provide are congruent with LIMBA’s greater vision. \nNext week is a holiday weekend with Martin Luther King’s birthday being celebrated on Monday. Therefore there will be no meeting on the 14th. The following week\, Jan 21st\, Keyspan Chairman\, Bob Catell\, will speak about the electric and gas business\, but he also said there were other important community issues that he may want to discuss. I’ll have more on that when we get closer to the date. \nWe have a new cooperative arrangement with LIFT they will be notified of our meetings and they in turn will notify their members of LIMBA meetings. LIFT will select one meeting per month to advertise jointly with us. LIFT is a not for profit member of LIMBA. Both organizations will benefit by this close cooperation giving our speakers more exposure and their members will increase networking opportunities. LIMBA has a high regard for the technical services that are provided by LIFT and we are very happy with this arrangement. \nOur member gate price remains at $10 going into the new year. We have changed our gate price for non-members to $20 Lift members will pay $15 unless they are also LIMBA members In that case they will pay $10.

SUMMARY:Bob Catell\, Keyspan Chair will discuss Power Issues.
DESCRIPTION:This morning’s speaker was\nKeyspan Chairman Bob Catell. Mr. Catell’s presentation addressed the growing\ndemand for natural gas. The demand for natural gas has been growing at a rate\nthat makes the supply of the commodity difficult. There are two pipelines under\nconsideration. Islander East is one of them. Islander East will bring natural\ngas into the US through Canada\, supplying points in the Northeast and\nterminating on Long Island. About two years ago LIMBA made a commitment to\nsupport Islander East. We are still awaiting approval of the facility. The other\npipeline under consideration is known as the Millennium Pipeline. The Millennium\nwill bring gas supplies in from the Midwest\, where there is a surplus of gas.\nWith the way we are using gas on Long Island\, both will be needed. \nBob\ntook an opportunity to praise the efforts of his field force for what they do in\ngeneral\, but specifically how they handled the pipeline break in eastern Suffolk\nrecently. In that case Long Island crews had help in restoring service to\nthousands of homes on the North Fork from crews brought in from NYC and\nConnecticut. Bob expressed his thanks for their quick response to the\nemergency. \nKeyspan under Catell’s leadership has been an active part of\nthe community. Mr. Catell expressed his belief in community service as being the\nright thing to do as well as the fact that we all live here\, meaning himself\,\nKeyspan employees and the valued customers.  \nAs Bob spoke about the gas\nbusiness he acknowledged his respected competitor in the person of Kevin Rooney.\nKevin is the Executive Director of The Oil Heat Institute. There was a little\nbanter back and forth\, but what showed through was a deep mutual respect\, indeed\na freindship\, that these two excellent leaders have for each other.  \nThere were several questions about alternative energy\, distributed\ngeneration and Internet access through power lines. As a result we went over the\nusual time by about 10 minutes.  \nMr. Catell\, in collaboration with a\nprofessional writer\, wrote a book "The CEO and The Monk" I read it myself and\ncan tell you it is well written and interesting. Paul Townsend raised the\nquestion about the book because he had read it too. It can be purchased on\nAmazon and any profits will go the Keyspan Foundation.  \nThis is the first\ncosponsored event with Long Island Forum for Technology (LIFT) By any measure it\nwas successful and we will be cooperating with LIFT in the future.  \nMeetings like this are successful as a result of having an interesting\nspeaker\, a timely topic\, an orderly format\, and an interested audience. We had\nit all. I thank my associates Bill Miller\, Bonnie Cornett\, And Elsie Farrell.\nAnd I thank you\, the audience for being there\, with your questions and your\nhumor.

SUMMARY:Dr Jon Gibralter Pres\, Farmingdale Univ.
DESCRIPTION:Today’s speaker was Dr\nJonathan Gibralter\, President of Farmingdale State University. Farmingdale was\nan agricultural school\, as times and needs changed\, so did the\ncurriculum.The school has adopted many new programs\, and redirected it’s\nfocus to technologies that are needed for today’s world. At the same time\nstandards for admission have been made more stringent.  Remarkably this\napproach has increased the size of the student body. Among the programs that\nwere strengthened was the aviation program. The school now has 13 aircraft to\nuse in the pilot training course.  \nThe automotive development has been\ncreated under a program with Diamler Chrysler. The automotive field is now high\ntech. It is appropriate that the technology be taught at the university level.\nThis is the approach that is used in Europe\, and Germany in particular.  \nFarmingdale\, under Dr. Gibralter’s lead has built a strong relationship\nwith the business community. Medical innovator OSI\, maintains offices in the Bio\nScience Complex. The Bio- Science facilities are a big success and phase II is\ngoing forward.  \nWe had a lively Q&A and I know that the questions\ncould have gone on longer\, but in keeping with a certain amount of disciple we\nhad to end it\, more or less on time.
