NEW
WEBSITE
For those who do not already know
about it, a group of community
members have developed a website
addressing the issues surrounding
the Shooting Range. The
website is called: "Levylead" and
can be found at
www.levylead.com . |
|
This
website is not affiliated with the
South Yaphank Civic Association in
any way but is simply the
product of the efforts of several
community members who have collected
a wide range of facts regarding the
illegality of the of the range and
its effects on the community and the
environment. |
