Dogs Gone Wild at Nearby Preserve

Caught on video: Owners let dogs roam free at Massapequa Preserve.

Dogs barking aggressively. Dogs roaming in tandem. And all of them unleashed.

That's what one videographer caught again and again at the Massapequa Preserve, posting the clip to YouTube in the hope something could be done to curb the canine free-for-all. The Massapequa Preserve is located off Merrick Road just a half a mile from the Seaford border. 

"No unleashed dogs are allowed in the Massapequa Preserve," YouTube poster savethepreserve17 wrote. "Good luck getting the authorities to do anything about it."

In fact, no dogs are allowed at Nassau County parks or preserves, according to the county. 

Is a crackdown needed on the grounds of the county-run preserve? Or should dogs be allowed to run free? 

Watch the video, which makes a compelling case.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
