Please note a correction to my letter to the editor published in last week’s Great Neck News. My letter was submitted with quotation marks on a part of the letter, which you however reprinted without quotations. In addition, I failed to attribute the quotation to its’ author, Carol Frank.
“Udall’s Mill Pond has not been dredged in over 40 years. During those years, Udall’s Pond, which is the ultimate repository for every drop of water that runs through the drainage system for the northern portion of the peninsula, has been filled with silt, sand and contaminants. The depth of the pond has been reduced to 1.5 feet in many areas. It has been choked with runoff and in spite of that, has served various functions for our community; that of floodwater control, a wildlife habitat and an aesthetic oasis.”
