Eye on the Ball: Honoring our greatest Island athletes
Do you know an outstanding athlete who graduated from Shelter Island High School and should be recognized by the school? If so, you must get in touch with the newly-formed Hall of Fame Committee. From me, finally a big “thank you” to the Islanders who are taking on the responsibility of...

Eye on the Ball: A peek into the past at Island heroes
Back in 1960, I made my first trip to Shelter Island as a 19-year-old assistant golf pro from Southampton Golf Club. Prior to the trip, I was told, “If you don’t know somebody on the Island, just say ‘Hello, Mr. Dickerson or Mr. Clark,’ and most likely you’ll be right.” Good...

Baseball: Southold nears playoff spot with Carver’s 150th career win
FIRST SETTLERS 3, INDIANS 1 The same instinct that tells Southold’s baseball coach, Mike Carver, when to call for a bunt or a hit-and-run, told him that something was up. After Friday’s game, Carver was trailing his players as they marched from their Southold High School field to the gym. Then, one...

Nature column: Leave time behind – visit a rock
It began with a child’s imagination triggered by naturally occurring recognizable shapes – no sculptor’s chisel necessary – inspiring awe and imbedded in the picture book of his mind. I should thank cartoon creators for using iconic figures of classic literature as premises for their productions. If not for them, Whale...

Fishing: And the cycle continues
Things are beginning to stir in the bays, creeks and backwaters of our coastline. The movement is subtle but distinct, like tall marsh grass rustling in the breeze, and it represents another tiny cog on earth’s great chronological gear. It may feel colder than normal and air temperatures this spring...

Column: Remembering Noonie, larger than life and sometimes legit
Do you ever look back and think about who had the most influence on you? Sadly, last Saturday morning one of the people that most influenced me passed away. He died two days before his 84th birthday. I know to most that’s considered an old man. But to me, he...

Would you be willing to host a Bucks player?
When the Shelter Island Bucks return this spring for their second season in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League, they’ll require housing again. Some Islanders who opened their houses to players last summer are doing so again, according to Bucks Assistant General Manager Dave Gurney. But for various reasons, eight players still...

Column: A landlubber survives the Coast Guard in style
How many times in your life did your parents or your spouse say, “You have to think before you talk”? My wife tells me that all the time and I finally told her the reason I don’t think before I speak is because I like to be as surprised as everyone...

Let it rip!
The Shelter Island School Sailing Club crossed the channel to Stirling Harbor last Friday. Blasting through the waves into the teeth of winds gusting to 25 mph and temperatures not far above freezing are, front to back, Jill Calabro, Drew Garrison, Alexis Gibbs and Melissa Ames. Coach Peter Needham summed it...

No more fishing fee
While the state budget wasn’t quite wrapped up at press time, pending action by the Assembly, Senator Kenneth LaValle (R,C-Port Jefferson) announced that one revenue line has been eliminated: the $10 annual saltwater fishing licenses will no longer be required. The vote came in the Senate Sunday. A three-year moratorium on the...

Column: Win or lose, it’s no gamble
When I was a boy in New Jersey, we lived less than a mile from Monmouth Park Raceway. It is a really beautiful track and a place my entire family visited on a daily basis. To say that my family likes to gamble would be an understatement. Both Anne and I...

3 on 3 tournament winds up the season
March Madness has come to the Island! No, we’re not talking about Stony Brook, Hofstra or Long Island University. The students and faculty of Southold, Mattituck, Greenport, and Shelter Island participated in a student council sponsored event to raise money for charity. Each school held their own 3 on 3 event on...

Baseball, varsity style, is back
Soggy soil, blustery wind, stinging hands — it must be baseball in the northeast. After months of being cooped up in the gymnasium, the boys have replaced sneakers with baseball cleats, donned their mitts and are now preparing for the 2013 baseball season. The Shelter Island boys team is returning to...

Column: When living every day is the sport
This week, Anne and I drove to the Florida Keys where we joined my son Bob and daughter-in-law Elena while they did some scuba diving. This is a sport that Anne and I are not crazy about as we listen to reports on the numbers of sharks lurking around South...
