July 04, 1985 - Comparing the Old and Newl);: e 12A The Suffolk Times Comparing the O/d and New By PAUL, STOUTENBURGH Barbara and 1 had one of those rare experiences last week that we'll re- member for a long time. We spent the week at camp with a group of Board of Cooperative Education students study- ing the changing East End. We were part of a group of 125 stu- dents and instructors from BOCES III who had come to the Peconic Dunes Camp as part of a unique educational experience..Each instructor had his own group of students who had selected that course for a six -day sdlid -- and I mean solid -- session. Just listen to this routine: up at 6 a.m. for canoeing, boat- ing, tennis or jo ' reakfast for all at 8 a.m.: classlrom 9 to 12; lunch. at 12:30; and activities again until 2:30; class through the afternoon until 5:30; dinner at 6; and more activities from 6:30 to 8:80. Then class ran again from 8:30 until 11:30 p.m. By then everyone, inciud.lg the instructors, was ready for bed. Our class was away from camp most of the time. We traveled the beaches, woods and marshlands, the Sound, the hay and the ocean. Our visits included the Indian Museum, a horse farm, a solar home, a grape farm, a potato farm and a hydroponic farm. We also visited a fish market, an oyster farm, the seed clarn program and even the town land- fill. We visited the Pine Barrens, they Quogue Wildlife Sanctuary, Shin -' necack Inlet and studied the drifting sands of our beaches. In between we identified plants, trees, birds and ani- mals 1 hat make the East End so unique. The idea was to give the students an insight into the natural world and how we as a town are using our natural re- sources. At first it was a gathering of facts, Focus on Nature but as the week progressed the pieces started to fall in place. The students saw the changes in our agriculture -- how horse farms, grape farms, sod farms and nursery crops are filling in the once - productive potato farms. We also studied the problems relating to development, the loss of open space, congestion and the change in rural liv- ing. We told the story of how the ospreys declined because of pesticides, how tern colonies once prominent here are being driven out by people pressure, how our waterfront is changing from the old traditional occupations to con- dominiums. The students became aware of the limited water supply the East end has beneath it. It was a week of education not only for the students but for the instructors. I'll never forget the first day of our adventures. We had chosen a spot where there were woods, a marsh and a 'beautiful beach. As I walked along explaining this and that to make them more comfortable with the area I felt resentment taking over. I asked myself why had they signed up for this course if they were going to be so indifferent. Perhaps it was because some of the stu- dents had been "cooled down" on a dis- cipline•problem the evening before and were now showing their resentment. .

From then on we became one big happy family traveling from spot to spot. Pack Up to Head Home When the time came for them all to pack up and go, teary eyes and lumps in all our throats took over. We had hoped they'd learned something about the world about them and how each part of this wonderful East End is closely attached to another, but probably the most important part was the interac -' tion of the kids with each other and our- selves. We became a close -knit team. Theother classes were all being held back at camp, except the marine biology class that met at the Suffolk County Community . College Cedar Beach Marine Center. What a deal. Classes were out for the year and they had the whole area to themselves. We visite the marine center on one of our beach walks and had a fine presentation by Chuck McCarthy, the assistant profes- sor there.

Let's hope they will, for there are some projects that can be done better by the county. It is they who have the greater resources and it is the people who have the real need for more of these unique facilities to visit, enjoy and to use for educational purposes. Custer...
