East Setauket, NY - May 9, 2016 - Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn joined the family and friends of new Eagle Scout Matthew Carney during his Court of Honor on Saturday, May 7, 2016.  For his community service project, the Troop 70 Eagle removed deteriorated turtle platforms at Caleb Smith State Park and replaced them with six new “Sea Floating Platforms.”   The improved infrastructure has innumerable health benefits for the turtles and allows the public to observe turtles in their natural habitat.
 
In fall, Carney, a Ward Melville High School senior, is planning on attending the University of Vermont in Burlington.
