Even though my column was long put to bed when I first heard about Pierre Gazarian’s death last Tuesday, I had to find the time and space to write about the man.

Two great opportunities are coming up to get in a round of golf next week and support a good cause while doing it. Greenport/Southold Rotary’s 36th annual golf classic is set for Wednesday, Aug. 31, at Island’s End in Greenport. The day supports Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, ELIH and other Rotary service projects. Call Kevin McLaughlin at 631-765-6085 or Walter Krupski at 631-298-8026 for details or to sign up.
Congratulations to Jordan and Nicolle Bogden, both of whom were recently promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard. Orient is very proud of its home-grown kids on this career milestone.
Well, Katie bar the door! Can’t believe the summer season kicks off this weekend, the North Fork will once again be the destination for recreation and the ferry lines will snake the East End. On the flip side, it’s always special to welcome back old friends and snow birds.
The North Fork is such a special place when it comes to scouting because parents and the community really support our local troop. Congratulations to East Marioneer Nick Wallace, son of Nicole Wallace and grandson of Kathy and Bob Wallace, who recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. As part of his project he constructed a planter bench consisting of two cedar flower boxes with a bench in-between. The bench has been donated to Greenport High School and installed by the trees near the tennis courts. WTG, Nick! Congratulations on being a great kid.
Mark your calendars for April 30 for a very worthwhile community event. The Orient-East Marion Park District is organizing a cleanup of Truman’s Beach and the surrounding district grounds surrounding the causeway.
Well, spring has officially sprung, with birds chirping and osprey returning (Chris Franke reported Saturday morning that there is an osprey on the Dam Pond nest), so all is right with the world.
Top of the mornin’ to you and happy spring! Nature abounds this week with the return of robins, peepers and the osprey.
I’ll start off with ‘old business’ and report back that the mystery person who rescued Susanne Bondarchuck from her icy porch was the “mom” of Captain and Scout, the infamous Village Lane cairn terriers. Thanks to all good Samaritans who participated in the heroics.
