COURTESY PHOTO | Chief Jim Read of the Shelter Island Police Department is looking at security protocols for the 10K race in June in light of the events at the Boston marathon.

“There’s nothing that we’re talking about changing,” Shelter Island Police Chief Jim Read said Tuesday about security for the local 10k in June.

Chief Read spoke to the Reporter Tuesday morning in the wake of the bombings at Monday’s Boston Marathon.

Still, he said, he’ll be sitting down with race organizers nearer to the June 15 date to reassess the situation. And he’ll be particularly attentive to organizers Mary Ellen and Frank Adipietro. Dr. Adipietro ran the Boston Marathon Monday while Ms. Adipietro, a nurse, assisted at the scene.

Typically, all members of the Shelter Island Police Department are on duty on race day, Chief Read said. The local police also receive backup from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and New York State Police, he said.

“We expect to review the arrangements” prior to the event and at a time when more should be known about the Boston bombings that could inform security on the Island.

Typically, about 1,500 run in the 10k and 5k and thousands more flock to Shelter Island to watch the race.

South Ferry crew quickly douses car fire Sunday afternoon

FILE PHOTO

Fast acting crew aboard a South Ferry boat Sunday afternoon averted a crisis when a vehicle belonging to Josh Horton of Horton Dredge & Dock of Greenport caught fire about 2:30 p.m.

The ferry was loading in North Haven when Eric Curko, who is a new South Ferry captain just completing his training, smelled smoke. He called Captain Scott Overstreet, who was directing traffic onto the ferry and the two men quickly began backing vehicles off the ferry. They then grabbed fire extinguishers and put out the fire, according to South Ferry CEO Cliff Clark. Captain Mike Scheibel was in charge of the boat at the time, Mr. Clark said.

The Sag Harbor Fire Department arrived on site, but by the time they got there, they just needed to check out the truck to confirm that the fire was out, Mr. Clark said.

Because of the quick response by the crew members, there were no injuries and no damage to the boat, Mr. Clark said.

He noted that crews on both South and North ferries are well trained in how to respond to such emergencies.

While the boats are certified by the United States Coast Guard, the ferry services have no control over the condition of the vehicles they take aboard, Mr. Clark said. He said his brother, Bill Clark, who was with the United States Coast Guard for 30 years, oversees the training function for his crew members while Captain Mike Mundy, a former member of the Shelter Island Fire Department, is South Ferry’s training officer.

“It was a textbook operation by the crew,” Mr. Clark said.

Since he got involved with the family company back in 1976, he said there have been a handful of fires, all contained quickly.

Mr. Horton wasn’t available for comment.

Cutting-edge response vessel hits East End waters

Suffolk Sheriff's new marine boat

COURTESY PHOTO | Marine 41 will be available to all East End marine units.

The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office has purchased a custom-made, 41-foot emergency response ship equipped with high-tech features like side-scan sonar and forward-looking infrared cameras, allowing it to spy on bay and ocean bottoms and navigate through the night with the utmost confidence.

The vessel will be used by members of the East End Marine Task Force, established in 2007 to help coordinate marine units from across the East End. The task force includes sheriff’s deputies and U.S. Coast Guard officers. Marine law enforcement units from each of the five East End towns also signed a memorandum of agreement to share and standardize equipment and training.

The task force agreement allows participating personnel to cross town borders when needed, which “increases safety and keeps costs down,” said sheriff’s office’s marine unit commanding officer, Sgt. John Andrejack.

Sgt. Andrejack is tasked with overseeing and managing the new boat.

“I don’t know of any other vessels like this,” Sgt. Andrejack said.

The ship, Marine 41, is a C.B.R.N.E.-response vessel -— which stands for Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear and Explosive — outfitted with radar, chart plotters and a dual-screen GPS. The boat is designed to be able to respond to a nuclear, chemical or biological attack or accident.

It’s powered by twin Cummins Diesel motors and does not have propellers. The boat is instead propelled by Hamilton Jets, which allow it to operate in very shallow water (less than three feet), officials said. The cabin air is always purified, with no outside air circulated inside. If the boat enters an area with hazardous smoke and fumes, there is constant clean air in the cabin, official said.

Marine 41 has firefighting capability with a water pump that can move 2,000 gallons a minute. It also comes with a 500-pound Davit winch to lift and recover things from the water.

“This is the most well-equipped response boat in the area,” said Sgt. Andrejack, who was involved in acquiring, designing and equipping the craft.

Officers on the task force from all different towns will crew the ship, he said.

“This vessel is crewed by multiple agencies, used for whatever town may need it for any large event,” Sgt. Andrejack explained, giveing the annual Maritime Festival in Greenport as one example. “It can be transferred from town to town when and where it is needed.”

The sheriff’s office was able to make the purchase using a $1.2 million Federal Emergency Management Agency Port Security Grant, officials said. The grant also allowed for the purchase of personal radiation protectors and 40 strong exposure suits that can be used to protect officers during severe storms or harsh winter weather, both to be distributed to members of the East End Marine Task Force.

The boat also came with a survival raft, EMT equipment and is able accommodate a patient on a backboard.

Marine 41 and all the on-board equipment cost $650,000.

A full-scale training exercise was recently performed on the boat. That simulation exercise, based on an actual recent event, involved a fishing vessel had dredged up hazardous material that the crew had to “decontaminate” before towing the vessel back to shore.

“A vessel of this capability was lacking in the region and the citizens of the East End deserve the capability and protection this asset provides,” Sgt. Andrejack said.

Fresh troops: New TCO helping with Island traffic

JULIE LANE PHOTO | TCO Michael Arnone checking out registration and inspection stickers during his tour of duty with the Shelter Island Police.

Someday, you might encounter Michael Arnone asking for your vote as he pursues a political career.

But today, your encounter would either involve his ticketing you for a traffic offense or providing a public service such as giving you directions.

The 20-year-old political science major at Gettysburg College inPennsylvania is the new traffic control officer hired for a summer gig with the Shelter Island Police Department. He’s been working the streets of Shelter Island Heights since starting the job two weeks ago.  He expected to find resistance from those motorists he has had to stop for traffic offenses — including parking longer than allowed in some business areas, not having vehicle registrations or inspections up to date or other offenses. But he has found them generally to be cordial.

Politics is his first love. Mr. Arnone has worked on campaigns to boost the candidacies of Congressman Tim Bishop and County Legislator Al Krupski Jr. But one day, he might opt to seek his own seat at some governmental level, he said.

His political science studies have opened up a wide scope of public service opportunities, including the possibility of someday seeking a career in law enforcement, he said.

“I will give law enforcement a second thought,” he said, basing that decision on his summer experience.

The Southold resident applied for a TCO position with Shelter Island, Southold and Riverhead police departments, had a good interview with Chief Jim Read and opted to take a job on the Island.
