“PILOTING” COURSE TUESDAY OCTObER 22 The Peconic Bay Power Squadron will present “Piloting”, starting at 6:30pm at the Riverhead Free Library, 330 Court Street, Riverhead. Piloting is the second in a series of Advanced Grade courses that go far beyond the concepts presented in typical public boating classes, but the first 2 courses in the series, Seamanship and Piloting do not have to be taken in any particular order. Students learn navigation techniques for piloting a boat in coastal and inland conditions. The course empha-sizes planning and checking along with the use of GPS for determining position, and introduces digital charting along with traditional charting, compass and dead reckoning skills. Plotting, labeling, use of the compass, aids to navigation and a host of related topics are included in this all-new approach to coastal and inland piloting. Piloting is a multi-week course (continues on 10/29, 11/12, 11/19, 12/3 & 12/10) that is part of a series toward advanced boating education. Typically this class is preceded by Seamanship and followed by, Advanced Piloting, Junior Navi-gation and Navigation which together cover a wider spectrum of boating knowl-edge than you will find anywhere else. The $120.00 class fee includes a student guide, The Weekend Navigator textbook and a set of navigation/plotting tools.

bACk TO THE FUTURE: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS OCTObER 18- NOvEMbER 23

The Suffolk County Historical Society, 300 West Main Street, Riverhead, is pleased to announce a new exhibition, Back to the Future: Contemporary Artists Consider the Permanent Collection, with an opening reception on Friday, October 18 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The show aims to juxtapose newly created art near historical objects in the Suffolk County Historical Society’s extensive permanent collection. The contrast between new and old reveals the varied ways history influences the present and shapes the future. The show features 11 painters, sculptors and photographer, namely, Cara Barer, Rob Carter, Judith Condon, Elizabeth Duffy, Katherine Frey, Susan Hoeltzel, Keith Long, Judy Richardson, Donna Sharrett, Karen Shaw, and Andy Warhol. The ex-hibit is curated by Mary Lou Cohalan, director of CarriageHouse Arts, and former director of the Islip Art Museum. Each artist has contributed work that is in dia-logue with the past that comments, critiques and often reinvents historic objects that form the SCHS 22,000 piece collection. The new works are exhibited in the gallery rooms of the Suffolk County Historical Society, a National Register land-mark building, in proximity to the artifacts that inspired them.THE ARTISTS, THEIR WORK AND THEIR IDEAS:In the 1960’s, Andy Warhol created his “souper dress” for the Campbell Soup Company. As an artist and social critic, he believed that in the future people would wear paper clothing, simply throwing outfits away when they needed laundering or mending. The Warhol paper dress, with its iconic imprints of Campbell soup cans, is exhibited here next to an elaborate 19th Century mourning outfit from the Suffolk County Historical Society. Unlike the paper dress, the intricate lace skirt,

gauze blouse and brocade jacket of the mourning cos-tume are hand-made, and meant to be passed on for generations. When consid-ered side-by side, the two dresses are a literal “fashion statement,” a vivid illus-tration of the way modern consumer culture and mass production has replaced notions of continuity and permanence.

•Karen Shaw’s large installation based on maps explores the arbitrary nature of boundaries, and the way man-made definitions of nations and states--such as those in India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine--are often capricious. Her work is paired with historic maps from the SCHS collection that echo similar themes, including the way Native American holdings in Suffolk County and elsewhere disappeared into the defined towns and hamlets we now know as Long Island.•Cara Barer’s stunning photographs of books, juxtaposed with archives from the SCHS collection that are about to be digitalized, call into question the future of historic books and records as physical objects.•Katherine Frey’s decorated plastic plates are a humorous critique of fine heirloom

china from the past on display at the SCHS.•Judith Richardson’s and Keith Long’s sculptures made from furniture parts echo the formal elements in the SCHS furniture collection, particularly the rare 1983 Con-gressional desk with its over-the-top decora-tive features.•Judith Condon’s warts-and-all ceramic busts of ordinary people were created in re-sponse to the heroic aesthetic that defines the 19th Century marble busts of Long Is-land industrialists in the SCHS collection.•Donna Sharrett’s mandalas are made of memorabilia and human hair. They are modern-day interpretations of the SCHS’s collection of funeral hair wreaths.•Elizabeth Duffy’s collages of birds of prey are contemporary reinterpretations of the SCHS extensive collection of stuffed wildlife.•Susan Hoeltzel’s installation is inspired by the farm implements on display in the SCHS basement exhibition.•Rob Carter’s video, Metropolis, captures the sweep of history in Charlotte, NC, America’s fastest growing city. Created through paper pop-up animation, the piece illustrates the relentless building, destruction and rebuilding that characterizes all modern towns and cities, including Suffolk County with its rapid development and contested land use.

The exhibit is collaboration between CarriageHouse Arts, a non-profit organiza-tion supporting artists and artists’ projects, and the Suffolk County Historical Society. The collaboration received funding from the competitive arm of the Suffolk County Office of Film and Cultural Affairs because grantors were particularly interested in the unlikely partnership between an agency promoting local history and a cutting edge art institution. “We hope the exhibit will show that history is not static, something relegated to the past-- but something that is alive as an influence in the present and a key to the future,” said curator Mary Lou Cohalan. For more information or to schedule a visit, call the Suffolk County Historical Society at 631-727-2881 ext 107.

In response to the public health and environmental threats posed by the surging deer population on the North Fork, a

group of local citizens have recently banded together to form the North Fork Deer Management Alliance (NFDMA). Deer in current numbers, estimated by the DEC to be roughly 3500 in Southold Township alone, are central to the spread of tick borne diseases and are responsible for the de-struction of the understory (and with it the habitat for other species), for major agricultural and landscaping losses, and for a growing number of dangerous vehicle accidents. The goal of the NFMDA is to raise public awareness of the full scope of the deer problem and to work with public officials to develop effective strategies to return the deer population to a level compatible with the health and safety of the human population and with the environmental and economic integrity of the region. The group also seeks to partner with other citizen groups to build support for such deer management programs.

CITIZENS FORM NORTH FORk DEER MANAGEMENT ALLIANCE

MISSION STATEMENT: The North Fork Deer Management Alliance is a citizen action group formed in July, 2013 to promote the return of the deer population of the North Fork to a level com-patible with the health and safety of the human population and the environmental and economic integrity of the region. The group seeks to educate the public to the effects of an unbridled deer population through publicity and public events in order to gather support for the deer management programs of town, county and state. The group seeks to work with local officials in developing ef-fective deer management strategies and to partner with other community groups in promoting them.
