Every drop of PFAS you add to that Island is yours to keep.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљYou are a sandbar, and your drinking water comes from the rain. РІР‚СљYou guys are a sandbar,РІР‚Сњ Kristen Mello, an analytical chemist, PFAS investigator, and city councilor from Westfield, added. Graham Peaslee, a professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame, said, РІР‚СљThis is a nationwide problem itРІР‚в„ўs not MarthaРІР‚в„ўs Vineyard alone.РІР‚Сњ He warned that the Vineyard has a РІР‚Сљvery preciousРІР‚Сњ and РІР‚СљlimitedРІР‚Сњ freshwater supply, РІР‚Сљand the more PFAS you put into it, the more that you will be drinking, and the more that will show up in you and your childrenРІР‚в„ўs blood.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљWe just want to arm MarthaРІР‚в„ўs Vineyard with the facts so you can make the correct decision for your Island, your environment, and your residents,РІР‚Сњ she said. Kyla Bennett, director of science policy for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, an ecologist and attorney, had no ulterior motive to provide testimony. When youРІР‚в„ўre bringing up toxins such as asbestos and dioxin in the same breath as PFAS, that should get everyoneРІР‚в„ўs attention. These scientists were dealing in facts, which could hardly be tossed aside as РІР‚Сљscare tacticsРІР‚Сњ that Donahue accuses the Field Fund of dealing in.Р”В«ut what they said was, indeed, scary.

The experts were brought in to talk about PFAS as the board considers draft regulations that include a potential ban on playing fields that incorporate PFAS. We wanted to ask Donahue what he thought of comments made by five scientists before the Oak Bluffs board of health last week, but he didnРІР‚в„ўt return our call.

Green is dealing in science, he would say, while the Field Fund is dealing in РІР‚Сљscare tactics.РІР‚Сњ School officials and other proponents of the synthetic turf field looked and acted like they had something to hide -Р’В and it appears they did.Р”Р‡or months, Donahue has been calling out the Field Fund, a group advocating for grass fields, saying theyРІР‚в„ўve provided no expert rebuttal to Green. WeРІР‚в„ўve seen emails where Green has access to the schoolРІР‚в„ўs consultant, Chris Huntress, as well as school officials involved in the project, and yet she was being paid by outside interests. Later he told the MarthaРІР‚в„ўs Vineyard Commission that the intent is to pay for the project with private donations, but that the school department was waiting for the project to be approved before seeking those donations for the facility.Р”Р„t the very least, Smith and other school officials should have been more open about GreenРІР‚в„ўs involvement in the project, and who hired her. Assistant Superintendent Richie Smith has at times said the project is being funded by private donors, though he could not reveal them. The lack of transparency on the part of the school department has been disappointing. ThatРІР‚в„ўs not OK when youРІР‚в„ўre talking about a project at a public school.
