Wolf Fish

Bronxville

April 14, 1997

To The Editor:

The fish pictured on page 16 (April 10 Star) may be a sculpin or a wolf fish. The shape of the head and body suggest a bottom feeder of some type.

Offhand, I'd say with some good-sized lemons, olive oil, salt, pepper, Old Bay, garlic, and white wine sauteed in a few pans . . . to be served with asparagus and potatoes (Long Island, of course).

To The Editor:

I have lost touch with my fellow classmates from the East Hampton High School class of 1967. Do you have any news of any upcoming 30th reunion for our class? If there are any contact people, please pass on whatever you can. My address is 6 Keystone Terrace, Clifton Park, N.Y., 12065. Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

It's A Farce!

Springs

April 14, 1997

To The Editor:

On Saturday morning, a man with a badge accosted me at the recycling center on Springs-Fireplace Road just as I was about to pour my one bag of garbage into the trailer truck. He stated that he had to look and see what I had in there. He then pawed through my garbage and made judgments as to whether or not I could deposit my garbage in the main container. I will admit that I have not been composting my scant scraps, and there were a few junk mail catalogues and torn-up personal papers (some of which are confidential, by the way). The dump cop was polite as he explained some of the finer points of recycling to me.

However, I feel that having an East Hampton Town employee going through a citizen's garbage is horrible! Not only do I feel that it probably violates our constitutional guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures, it's just plain disgusting. It's a farce. It's a joke! It's an outrage! It's also an infringement on privacy.
