Geoff FederHOST
Lyme disease was brought over by an infected deer from Plum Island and And it swam across, and then that, I guess the tick survived, and then that's how Lyme disease happened, because it was, you know, a government test from, you know, across the water.

Dan Stark reporting for 27East.com that the race for state assembly in New York's first assembly district, which includes the entirety of both East Hampton and Southampton towns, Shelter Island and most of the North Fork, will be a rematch of the of 2024's election incumbent.
Gianna VolpeHOST
Tommy John Schiavone, a Democrat who was elected two years ago to succeed longtime assembly member Fred W. Thiel Jr., is seeking re-election to a two-year term and is once again facing off against Republican Stephen Keeley, a former town attorney for Shelter Island Town.
Gianna VolpeHOST
Schiavone, 63, entered the state assembly last year after serving two terms on the Southampton Town Board as well as stints on the Southampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals, the North Haven Village Board, the North Haven Zoning Board of Appeals and the Sag Harbor Board of Education.

He's also a retired social studies teacher in the Santa Marichas School District.

In a second term, Schiavone said getting more trains to run would be his top priority.
Gianna VolpeHOST
Other key priorities he cited are including maintaining the Peconic Estuaries Partnership funding and pushing for reinstating state recognition of the Montauket Nation.
Gianna VolpeHOST
Running against Schiavone is Stephen Keeley, 51, of Mattituck, a former Shelter Island town attorney currently working as assistant to the director of the Suffolk County Real Property Tax Service Agency and a special prosecutor for West Hampton Dunes.
Tyler GardnerHOST
It's also the topic I explored deeply at the beginning of my own book because there's nothing to me that's more important than figuring this one out for you personally.
Tyler GardnerHOST
There's a story Jack Bogle used to tell, which he credited to Kurt Vonnegut, about the two of them at a party thrown by a billionaire on Shelter Island.
Tyler GardnerHOST
Vonnegut mentions to Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller earned from all the copies of Catch-22 ever sold.
Tyler GardnerHOST
And Heller says, yes, but I have something he will never have.
Anne VanCouveringGUEST

Loudon Wainwright IIIGUEST
But anyway, my mom and I used to sit out on this screen porch in the location where I am actually today on this place called Shelter Island, New York.
Loudon Wainwright IIIGUEST
And we would enjoy a glass or two or maybe even three.
