It would be quite pathetic if Wang went to KC on the 22nd… If there’s a question on wether he’ll be here or not, then this whole Light House thing is a joke. I don’t know how many of you have ever stood in front of the zoning board, but EVERYTHING depends on this outcome. I had to for a dinky 600 sq ft extension on my home. The obnoxious board thought they were the Supreme Court – they made me revise my blue-print before they gave me the permit; I had to appear at a variance hearing at a later date before it was passed.

Expect the same thing to happen here – there’s no way they’re saying “yes” to everything… The best we hope for is a scaled down project…

There is an interesting letter published this week on the opinion page of the Garden City Life newspaper/website by Mr. Dennis Donnelly.{Garden City Trustee and liaison to the business community.It is totally obvious that the big guns of Garden City do not want the Lighthouse built under any circumstance.They could care less about the possibility of the NY Islanders relocating.We must keep the pressure on all elected officials of authority.

Chris (57) It seems as though you read it as somewhat of a negative statement. It isn’t. We NEEDED to go to the enviromental hearing. We NEED to go to the re-zoning hearing. In addition there were PLENTY of people who said that if you can only make one hearing the enviro one was the one to go to.

But, whatever. It’s time to drive home our point and let the TOH know on the 22nd that we want this and we want it NOW!

Big Van Vader (54): I of course dont know who told you what, but I do know that sites like let there be lighthouse, islanders point blank, the light post, etc did not say that the last meeting was THE most important meeting to attend. What they did say was how important it was to have good numbers at it- and they were correct. If that meeting didnt have the great showing it did, it is very likely that this meeting (which is extremely important!) would not have been the priority of the ToH.

I am very skeptical. I dont trust Garden city residents. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed and hope we can keep the Isles here.

I know alot of people out there who told us that the LAST hearing was THE hearing to go to. Well, now it’s THIS hearing we have to show up to. I think,(THINK) this one will be the LAST time we will be needed to show up in numbers. I believe this will be the meeting where the Garden City faithful make their voices heard. We need to be there and we need to have numbers and be MUCH louder than at the enviromental hearing.

We get passed the rezoning, and the lighthouse will be a reality. This is the last part of this that the TOH has any control over. Once they are out of the picture we SHOULD be ok.

Again, SHOULD.

Look he will find a way to work it out. If we all sow up this will get done. There are NO EXCUSES. Atleast she set a date. She could have waited later. THis gives us ample time to all go and support. AGAIN For people who are not going are they going to allow us to email the TOH to vote.

This meeting isnt about the fans. Its about TOH residents. I want to stay optimistic, however I have a bad feeling about all of this. I hope its just jitters, but there is somehting about all of this that just stinks.

As for KC, we know there is an NHL ready arena, however is there an owner? Would Wang actually move the Islanders there and still own them? I seriously doubt that. If he did he better be ready to move there himself…lol.

50 – signs not allowed inside the theatre, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have them outside.

Hey folks…

I was thinking how can we as Isles fans get our point across to these game playing politicians at this hearing…which I will be attending.

Can we bring in signs?
If so-lets come up with some good stuff here…. Any ideas?
