The Deer & Tick Committee estimates there is a total of 635 deer on the Island. The data is based on information released from a Jan. 24 flyover, using infrared video techniques from 1,600 feet.
But Committee Chairman Dr. James Bevilacqua said at the April 7 committee meeting the number could be higher and, of course, doesn’t include the fawns that will be born this spring. That could result in approximately 750 deer on the Island, Dr. Bevilacqua said.
He called the estimate from the flyover “the most accurate number we have had.”
Animal Control Officer Beau Payne, who was not at the session, clarified the number, saying 635 was an absolute minimum, but not necessarily the total number. Still, he said that number was very close. The pilot doesn’t count anything he is not certain is a deer, Mr. Payne said.

Your hometown paper brought home some prestigious awards for editorial excellence from the New York Press Association’s (NYPA) spring convention, held April 7 to 9 in Saratoga Springs.
The association’s “Better Newspaper Contest” fielded 2,440 entries from 151 newspapers across the state, and were judged by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association.
Peter Waldner, the Reporter’s editorial cartoonist, took first place in the Reporter’s circulation division for his stunning cartoon paying tribute to front-line health care professionals, which the NYPA judges, honoring his work, said: “Mr. Waldner captures the overwhelming feeling or gratitude that most readers feel (felt) during the first few months of the pandemic.”

What’s a beach? Most would answer the question simply as a place where you swim. But as the Shoreline Access Task Force is discovering, it’s not that easy.
For an Island surrounded by water with multiple access areas to shorelines where families have been swimming for generations, the Town Code defines beach as a site where lifeguards are assigned and bathrooms are provided.
That means only Crescent and Wades are considered beaches.
Before discussing specific water access points in terms of uses, maintenance needs and upgrades, task force members heard from colleague Al Loreto about practices in place in Southampton and similar actions in Southold.
