MESSAGE FROM THE
Since ,1659, the life of Freeport has been tied to the sea. True, we no longer count
on the Jin and shell fish in our waters to put food on our tables as in the past.
However,~Freeport does count on the influx of millions of dollars flowing-into our
waterfront industries of charter and commercial fleets, fish markets and seafood
restaurants. The economic health of these taxpaying entities, employing many Freeport
residents, is vital.
Media-hyped hysteria over medical wastes on the beaches plummeted our
waterfront's economy last summer with the public hesitant to eat fish. I consulted
with State and County health officials and experts in marine science. After that
I launched a program to-assure the public that fish, specifically those caught in our
local waters, is quite safe to eat as long as Health Department guidelines as to handling
and refrigeration are followed.
That campaign was dealt a blow last month. In an attempt to gain ground in
the February "sweeps" race for audience ratings, WNBC-TV aired a four night special,
"Killer Fish," a one-sided scare piece which totally ignored the fact that 95% of
food-borne illnesses are caused by other than fin and shellfish. Channel 4 not only
aired their distorted view on the show, but promoted it heavily on the station, on
radio and through full-page newspaper ads.
Freeport, all of Long Island, cannot stand silent under such an unfair assault.
After contacting many agencies, it has been determined that there will shortly be
top level meetings involving government leaders from Nassau and Suffolk, and
'hopefully Westchester and Connecticut. County Executive Tom Gulotta has assured
me he'll be working with Channel 4 executives to get a more objective report on
the-air. In addition, New York and New Jersey plan a joint advertising campaign
to bolster tourism.
Here at home I have appointed a Mayor's Advisory Waterfront Commit tee consisting
of.Wes Carman,, Al Grover, William McDermott, Anthony DiLermia, Vincent Fiore,
Frank Cositore, Barbara Jagnow, Lou Tuzzolo, Fred Chall, Mike Danon, Anthony
Maio, Frank Fineo, Ray Postel and Brian O'Donahue. This group will be working
with me not only on the fish situation, but also in scheduling monthly waterfront
events highlighting Freeport as the "Boating and Fishing Capital of the East."
If you have any questions about fish, please call 800-E A TSEAFOOD.
