Bay Erosion
By Robert Ottone

The erosion on Fire Island is something that the locals have been watching happen for a long time now. Erosion can lead to entire regions being wiped from existence, with nary the slightest hint of what was once there. Homes have been destroyed, natural land masses completely obliterated. Such is the nature of erosion. Witnessing the devastating results of the erosion firsthand, I was curious as to exactly what the causes were. I had my suspicions that the usual suspect of rising tides, melting ice caps, the planets temperature rising every year were to blame, however; when presented with a particular area of erosion in Cherry Grove, near a piece

of boardwalk where there sits a small bench and a beautiful ocean vista, I was amazed to learn that there had once been ground beneath this segment of boardwalk only two short years ago. The water had begun stretching far beyond the boardwalk itself, and has begun slipping past the nearby houses bulkhead. It was obvious to me that simple rising tides would not be able to cause such devastation on their own, and when I began my investigation, I found that people were mostly at a loss as to what it could be, in conjunction to global warming. Im no scientist, so I began seeking answers from people who were infinitely more knowledgeable on the subject than I. The first person I spoke with was Jack Dowling, Cherry Grove resident and former boating enthusiast, who was forced to sell his vessel when the water began overtaking the island. I would later learn that an entire stretch of boardwalk had completely collapsed into the bay between Sailors Haven and Cherry Grove. Not only is the erosion proving to be a monumentally challenging prospect to landmass, but it is also dangerous. The sand is gone, its just completely gone, Jack said over the phone. We

discussed the potential reasons for what may have caused the erosion, what he truly believed the issue to be, and though he cited what I would learn to be the standard Department of Environmental Conservation answer of rising tides, Jack had another potential culprit for the rising tides and increased fury of erosion on Fire Island. Gabions have not only caused the sand at the bottom of the bay to recede, theyve also gotten rid of the clams, Jack explained. Upon further research, I looked into the negative environmental impacts of gabions on coastal regions and found that Jack is correct, they most certainly eliminate certain aspects of the ecosystem. In the case of Cherry Grove, the eel grass has vanished from areas containing gabions. With no eel grass, there is nothing for clams to feed on. For those who perhaps dont know what a gabion is, envision a cage. That cage is then filled with heavy rocks and small boulders, creating a wall of impenetrable stone. The cage itself is made of waterproof wire, and the gabion is placed along the shore, beneath the water to prevent erosion. They work like a barrier, really.

...Continued From page 1

After speaking with Jack, I began learning more about what locals in Cherry Grove and The Pines have been doing to keep their properties from eroding any further. One such resident has been filling in areas of incredible erosion with concrete bags, creating a kind of wall against the powerful waves. The beach has almost completely vanished. Dunes are constructed, but they just arent enough. Short of resorting to placing concrete bags in the ocean to prevent erosion, what else can possibly be done? For the answer to that question, I spoke to Michael Bilecki, Chief of Natural Resource Management for Fire Island National Seashore (FINS). Through Mr. Bilecki, I learned that many natural areas of Fire Island cannot be outfitted with bulkheads, which is part of the erosion issue itself. The idea is that the waves crash against the bulkheads of homes and businesses, and the fury of the waves grows in intensity, thus increasing the rate of erosion

exponentially. The erosion and wave intensity generated thus pounds other areas of the coast, forcing erosion at a much higher rate. Mr. Bilecki also mentioned a pilot project through the town of Brookhaven that has allowed FINS and the DEC to monitor the rate of erosion as a way to perhaps counter its devastating effects. The sand is shifting, plant life and invertebrates are being monitored. GPS monitoring and dye tests are being used to monitor the shifting sands. The project is still in its infancy, though, in terms of results, Mr. Bilecki said via telephone. This project was enacted at the Sailors Haven marina, and has been met with wide acceptance as a potential resource in countering the tremendous erosion. Residents should take solace in the fact that there is a long-range plan being developed to slow down or eliminate the problem of erosion, with the town of Brookhaven, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the folks at the Fire Island National

Seashore (FINS) all working towards the common goal of halting the further erosion of Fire Island. Having spent a bit of time on Fire Island myself, I truly see the beauty of the area, the great pride and true sense of community the residents display. In my short time on the island, Ive grown to love it. Every day I get to spend there, I love it more. I tell my friends and family how perfect Cherry Grove is. How great the people are. How fun the clubs and restaurants are, how beautiful the homes are. It would truly be a shame to watch Cherry Grove continue its rate of decay along its shores. Not only would the residents lose their homes and businesses, but the world would lose a beautiful place to visit, where one can pick up that sense of community other areas sorely lack. Homes are already being washed out to sea. Bulkheads are no longer working. The clams are gone. The ecosystem is almost in shambles. Should this continue, Cherry Grove would become but a memory.

Meet Your

Nancy Haskell

By Robert Ottone

Starting in 1960, Nancy Haskell has spent many great seasons here in Cherry Grove. A long-standing member of the local Fire Department, as well as an individual with great civic pride, she and her partner Sara Widdicombe enjoy spending their evenings eating dinner in their beautiful home overlooking the ocean, entertaining friends, and traveling to various other locations where theyre fortunate enough to have homes. Describing her first trip to Fire Island as a real eye opener, Nancy had been working in New York City as a stage manager for various off-Broadway productions, while also serving as understudy to many of the female roles featured, as well. A student of Rollins College, Nancy began working in New York City, and as she puts it if youre gay and in New York, Fire Island is the place to be. Upon a shows closing, Nancy would often tend bar at places in Manhattan, learning the bar business (as well as the restau-

rant business). This would eventually lead to her managing a restaurant called One Potato, which was primarily American cuisine, classic standards, good, hearty food. A popular spot in The Village, One Potato featured a small menu, but was nevertheless a great place to eat with friends. After tasting success with One Potato, Nancy purchased a bar (also in The Village, on West Street) called Sneakers. Owning the business for twenty-two years, Nancy then sold the bar when Sara retired. Nancy says, with a smile, If Sara was gonna retire, I wasnt gonna work anymore! The Grove has always been special to me, and we bought this house in, what, 1975, was it? Nancy recalls, with Sara nearby to tease, I dunno, youre the historian! The two had been coming here on weekends until 1979, when Nancys mother past away. From that point on, Nancy and Sara spent their time predominantly floating between Cherry Grove and Cape Cod (where Nancy is originally from). Nancy is particurlarly proud of her contributions to the Cherry Grove Fire Department, which she and Sara have served for over thirty years. Requiring long hours and often long meetings, Nancy has no complaints remaining on call for a fire, whether its a false alarm or something more substantial. Having been Fire Commissioner for twenty-nine years, Nancy knows how serious a fire in Cherry Grove can be, recalling the fire that claimed the Copa (formerly the Sea Shack) bar Restaurant. Though Nancy is no longer Fire Commissioner, she remains incredibly proud of not only her work with the community, but of the work the Fire Department continues to do.

What I did over my Winter Vacation

To some, Fire Island is an occasional weekend, or a week long vacation that gets them away from the grind of their daily lives. However, to others, it is our livelihood and the foundation of who we are and what we do. We com early spring, and se stay late into the fall. We may be thoroughly exhausted by it all when we leave at the end of each season, but by the end of February we cannon wait for the boats to start running and to get back to the island and the life that we know and

love. When we leave here in the fall, each of us go in many different directions to do many different things. Some planned out to the smallest detail and some just left to chance. An idle passing of time until the net season starts, often with inadvertent unexpected things happening that change out plans and schedules, our perceptions and our lives. I have always been fascinated by this whole experience for myself and hearing about it from so many others. So with the traditional spring fashion

of catching up with each others lives this year, you can get paid for sharing it. We want your stories of what you did over your winter vacation away from Fire Island. Share something that happened that was funny, unexpected, scary, life changing or in some way eventful. We will dedicate one page of the paper to the best stories and then let you, the readers, vote on the one you like the most.

Letter From The Editor

Its Memorial Day Weekend and we are already working on our third edition of the newspaper. We have gotten great positive response and hope to continue to do so. We had a few errors in the first issue (the monster never burnt down,

the Copa did), and a slight distribution problem, but were working out the kinks and will continue to improve. I wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day weekend. -Ed.

In case you missed it, last weeks letter from the ed.:
After five months and a physical, emotional, and financial journey of learning publishing and social media, I am pleased to bring you a weekly newspaper that I hope will keep you informed of the events and happenings in our community, and possibly entertain and amuse you along the way. The newspaper is much more than I originally intended it to be, yet still falls short of all I want it to be. I now have a team of six whom I believe to be good at what they do, and will stay and grow with me and the Fire Island Reporter. Our mission is to inform, educate, and share in a positive, unbiased, and straightforward manner. Additionally, we want to be an all inclusive community publication that not only recognizes home and business owners, but also vacationers, guests and all the workers who make it possible for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves here. From what I have witnessed the past couple of weeks, It looks as though 2012 may be blessed for us all. The people are here, and happy and seem very optimistic. Although we had the unfortunate

setback in the Pines last fall, it seems to have triggered a whole new zest for renewal and a unity within the community that is, quite literally, a joy to see happen. We are very excited about our newspaper and hope that it is something for you to look forward to each week as well as serving a community need. We want to feel that the paper belongs to the community, and want you to feel the same. We welcome opinions and editorials weekly and hope that the members of our community have a mutual respect for one another. Please keep your subject matter focused locally (Pines, Cherry Grove, Fire Island) and on our [gay] community as a whole. We may edit for size or content but will try not to compromise your thoughts or point of view. You can email your submission to the FIREditor@gmail.com or hand deliver to the Fire Island Reporter office inside Hunky Junky Cherry Grove.
