Experts See A Wet Winter

By Rick Murphy

Better start working on that Ark. Ok, maybe it won’t come to that, but weather experts warn to expect in the immediate future more of what we’ve had in the last week – that would be rain.

In the wake of yesterday’s massive Nor’easter and a similar storm that ripped through the area Friday night the experts advise us to prepare for more flooding and, of course, the possibility the rain will translate to snow at some point.

“I think, primarily, we’ll see that happening in mid-January into February,” AccuWeather forecaster Paul Pastelok said. The polar vortex, the culprit responsible for several

days of below-zero temperatures last year, will slip down into the region from time to time, delivering blasts of arctic air and turning precipitation to snow, AccuWeather predicted.

According to the Weather Channel coastal storms will be the norm for the foreseeable future.

Atmospheric ingredients combine to spawn a coastal storm bringing a potpourri of wind-driven heavy rain and wet snow. A low-pressure system simultaneously forms offshore in the Mid-Atlantic. The resulting cold front sweeps eastward through the Great Lakes into the interior Northeast. The resulting Nor’easter sweeps up the coast, feeding off

change to snow.

Weathertrends 360 correctly predicted the frigid, snowy weather we had last winter. This year, its models indicate temperatures will be more moderate than last winter.

There is the probability of one snowstorm with totals in excess of six inches in January, another in February, and a third in March.

“The major weather event that will affect the 2014-2015 winter season will be the development of an El Niño,” according to The Weather Channel. “This weather event will largely determine the number of winter storms, the amount of snowfall as well as temperatures across the United States.” For us that means, “A cooler than normal winter with above average precipitation is currently favored. Snowfall is projected to be above normal.”

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration models indicate snow in the New York area will return to normal levels – an average of 25 inches total for the winter.

But who needs meteorologists?

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been accurately predicting weather since 1792 by studying the sun, moon, stars and planetary activity.

Its Region One forecast – that would be us – calls for rain and/or snow for much of the remaining month - including our first snowstorm next week and the probability of a wet Christmas as well. Models warn colder air, like the vortex that dipped down last winter, will turn a lot of rain into additional snow.

Many of our local roads are flooded. Progressive warns to avoid water if possible. If it’s a necessity, try to estimate the depth. If it’s above your wheel rims, don’t do it. If you must, drive slowly and steadily through the water. And never enter water that has downed utility poles or wires.

You know how sensitive I am and how just one negative remark to me by people I consider my friends will have me sobbing and bawling like a little girl.

This column, titled “One Old Lady,” was sent to me by a gentleman named Marty Orenstein, whom I’ve met once and who sends me some very funny emails. If the person who sent it to Marty wants credit I will

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

be happy to give it to him or her in a future column.

This is certainly a different way to look at what is happening . . .

One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point.

She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream!

She gives us an entirely new slant on the “amazing” job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President.

Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation.

When discussing Obama, she says: 1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary’s presidential aspirations – something no Republican was ever able to do.

2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty – no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.

3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!

Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid – soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2014, dozens more will be gone.

Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats.

The press was touting the death of the conservative movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and gave the House and the Senate back to the Republicans.

4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson

$$$$$$$$$ REWARD $$$$$$$$$

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well: Liberals tax, borrow and spend.

Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America. Liberals want to take over the economy. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone. Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.

5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom-loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!

6. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction

our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.

7. When the American people wake up, no smooth-talking teleprompter reader can fool them!

Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans! Again, I want to say, “Thank you, Barack Obama!” After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!

8. He made Jimmy Carter happy since Jimmy is no longer the worst president we’ve ever had.

Bows v Shotguns v Deer v . . . Hikers?

By Kitty Merrill

It’s understandable, the desire to keep bow hunters and shotgun hunters apart during deer season.

But, shouldn’t shotgun hunters be kept apart from, like, everybody?

A new law under consideration by the East Hampton Town Board will serve that goal by “basically telling everyone else” to stay out of town parks for the entire month of January, according to local attorney and avid hiker Rick Whalen.

Last Thursday night Whalen spoke out in opposition to a proposed local law banning big game bow hunting on town parklands while shotgun hunting is underway. It’s not the The Spunky Brewsters bow v shotgun aspect that irks,

however. It’s language that would allow hunting on weekends.

For the 40 years that he’s been a town resident, Whalen said hunting has been never been allowed on town parklands during weekends.

It used to be permitted weekdays only for two weeks in January. Then the state expanded the season to three weeks, then four. The most recent regs from Albany allow it throughout the entire month of January.

Whalen said he’d be “astonished” if the town mirrored the state’s expansion of the hunting season to include weekends. He predicted it would lead to conflicts between hunters and others who want to

enjoy the outdoors. He also reported that officials supervising state parks in Montauk won’t be allowing hunting on weekends, even though they could.

People who use the trails in town parks have 48 other weekends to enjoy them, Terry O’Riordan of the East Hampton Sportsmen’s Alliance countered. His group favors weekend hunting during shotgun season. He wondered, however, whether the town might consider splitting the season between those with shotguns and those who prefer hunting with bows.

In general, O’Riordan said, the Alliance supports using lethal methods to keep plant and animal

species in balance. He noted an irony -- people want to look at East Hampton’s beautiful woods and the beautiful woods are being destroyed by deer overpopulation.

Not according to wildlife photographer Dell Cullum. He disputed the oft-repeated statement that forests are being “ravaged” by deer, stating he has yet to find a woodland site damaged to the extent deer cull proponents contend.

Robin Laton agreed. She lives near the woods and her property is not ravaged. People have to learn how to live with deer, she said, telling the story of the “horrendous, horrible sight” of deer injured, but not killed, by bow hunters.

Bow hunting is “the cruelest form of hunting,” Dennis Crain of the East Hampton Group for Wildlife asserted. He supports the plan to “avoid chaos” between bow hunters and those using firearms, especially since it reduces bow hunting. Like Whalen, Crain wants to see hunting remaining a permissible activity only on weekdays “so hikers and others can enjoy public land on the weekends.”

Crain also cautioned town board members against accepting recommendations from the townappointed deer management committee. It’s stacked with hunters and members who favor the lethal strategy for managing the deer population and doesn’t reflect the sentiments of the entire community.

Pushing For Preservation

By Kitty Merrill

He admired their passion and offered a slender thread of hope.

Residents of the Freetown section of East Hampton urged Supervisor Larry Cantwell last week to protect and preserve a soon-to-be-developed tract of land in their denselypopulated neighborhood.

In the six years since property owner Ronald Webb filed plans to build nearly 60 affordable housing units on an approximately nine acre parcel located at Oakview and Middle Highways, neighbors have repeatedly entreated a variety of town board members to acquire the property. The current town board is the third administration they’ve approached and, so far, the third administration to offer the same answer – ‘We can’t buy it if he won’t sell it at an appropriate price.’

Set in the heart of a working class community, “north of the highway,” the project known as Oak View Woods has been scaled back from the huge affordable housing concept to an eight home development with a reserved area set aside. The proposal received approval from town planners last summer and last Thursday the town board held a public hearing on the acceptance of an approximately two-acre reserve from the developer.

It’s not enough.

That was the point neighbors made repeatedly at the podium.

They listed its inclusion in the South Fork Groundwater Protection Area and bounty of local plant and animal species as reasons for preservation. They spoke of hundreds of nearby residents who could enjoy a preserved parkland in an area that’s been neglected in town acquisition efforts. They also spoke of population density in the area. “ We ’ r e c r o w d e d e n o u g h ,” said Nanci LaGarenne, one of the founders of the 200-member Freetown Neighborhood Advisory Committee. “Let’s preserve it for the people,” Steve Cohen urged. With over 100 children in the mobile home park alone, a park instead of more houses “really would be

incredible,” Tara Ruiz opined.

Cantwell appeared sympathetic.

“I know you’ve been at this a long time,” he said, “you have great passion.” While he sees the value of a neighborhood park in the area, Community Preservation Fund law has been an obstacle. A municipality can’t pay more than fair market value for land purchased with public monies. So far the town has not been successful in negotiating a fair price, he said. “We won’t stop trying,” he assured. The supervisor called for holding off on a vote to accept the reserve pending further negotiations.

Peters gave the sellers the “right of first refusal” and they’re looking to exercise it. This week, Peters, a realtor and environmentalist, filed suit looking to overturn the stipulation. He says the prior owners want to pay the same amount as the town will, but won’t uphold a promise to preserve it.

WaterFire On The Peconic?

By Emily Toy

At last Thursday afternoon’s work session at Southampton Town Hall, Lisa Lowenstein, a strategic advisor to American artist Barnaby Evans, met with the town board to discuss the possibility of installing a WaterFire exhibit on the Peconic River on the Southampton/ Riverhead border.

As part of an ongoing effort toward the revitalization of Flanders and Riverside, Lowenstein joined Southampton Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone, Riverhead Deputy Supervisor Jill Lewis, Pat Snyder, Executive Director of the East End Arts Council, and Chris Kempner, Community Development Director in Riverhead for a discussion about how WaterFire may just be what the proposed area needs to revamp, renew, and rejuvenate.

WaterFire, arguably Evans’s biggest claim to fame artistically, was born in 1994, has reached three continents, and has a well-known following in Providence, Rhode Island. WaterFire is an installation that combines groupings of bonfires atop a body of water. The effect created is what Snyder deemed, “peaceful and quiet,� and what, according to Lowenstein, could be

A WaterFire installation in Providence.

described as meditation between tens of thousands of people.

And maybe, if approved, there’ll be one in Southampton Town. “We’ve been working with the Riverhead community in our effort to revitalize Riverside,� Zappone said. “Providence [Rhode Island] was blighted, and the WaterFire project became a big part of revitalizing the area.�

WaterFire features groupings of bonfires arranged over a body of water, usually in a unique design or layout. There’s music curated by Evans that accompanies the fires.

With a working title of “WaterFire on the Peconic,� Lowenstein urged officials the project would serve as a glue to combine both Riverhead and Southampton towns.

Lowenstein offered the town board an evaluation of

the community’s needs, noting how something like a WaterFire installation can improve the stature of the area it’s located in. “If you have an event, a poetry reading, a concert,� Lowenstein offered, “WaterFire may bring more people to it. People come to WaterFire displays as families.

People feel safe. Groups and performers will have a unique venue, plus you’ll have different cultural activities able to work off each other in a more seamless way.�

Lowenstein also said WaterFire could be conceptualized as an effort toward urban sculpting, while at the same time working to build civic pride, penetrate neighborhoods, and engage populations. “This will add to the vision, and cohesiveness of local projects,� she said. “It will also encourage a holistic

approach to creative placemaking and community building activities of both towns.�

Snyder, Lowenstein and Kempner all believe WaterFire will bring daytrippers to the area while at the same time encourage locals to move around the space the installation is located in. “This is a very unique project for us,� Kempner said. “I’m excited about that concept.�

Snyder agreed, pointing out the Riverside/Riverhead border is an area filled with different communities with different cultures.

All members of the panel assured the town board they’re working with Renaissance Downtown, the firm chosen to lead the revitalization of the Riverside area. Thursday afternoon’s panel also stressed the need to continue to embrace any form of community involvement moving forward. Lowenstein said the group would be able to attract private funding, while Zappone reminded the deadline for the grant Riverhead is seeking is Monday. “This is community engaging,�

Kempner said. “We’ve submitted our application. This is not infrastructure driven, it’s arts driven, and what makes it interesting is it will change our perception of the area.�

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst closed the discussion, reminding the town board “has an interesting resolution here for all of us to consider.�

Wilson In & Out Billy Wilson’s reign as Westhampton Village Police Chief literally ended before it even began.

On Friday the Westhampton Beach Village Board rescinded an offer to Wilson. Wilson was engulfed in controversy during his brief stint as Southampton Town Chief after he ran afoul of the Republican majority on the town board. He previously served as Southampton Village Police Chief.

Westhampton Beach Mayor Maria Moore said she was instructed by the village board to rescind the offer and noted no legal agreement was in place.

According to scuttlebutt former Southampton Town Councilman Chris Nuzzi reached out to one or more of the Westhampton Village Board members and advised against Wilson’s hire.

RICK’S SPACE This and That I was telling Karen just the other day that I’ve been so busy we’re going to have to put off that vacation trip to Somalia.

Has anyone else noticed no one is talking to Siri anymore?

It’s hard to believe, given the hours I’ve spent watching football on TV, that I’ve never tasted Papa John’s pizza and I’ve never had a light (or lite) beer.

Why don’t more kids sleep in mangers?

I’ll never eat Jello again – just sayin’ . . .

I just can’t wrap my head around the name “Bow Wow,” at least not for a human.

It’s not bad enough to just kill the bird, so we have to stuff it. Then we eat it. Merry freaking Christmas, savages.

Seriously though, even with all the new technology, the best Christmas present for my money is still The Clapper. Or maybe a Chia Pet. When you think about it logically, mittens are probably a really stupid idea.

Remember how we came together as a community for the common good? How we protested and held demonstrations and carried signs?

Those big utility poles -- remember?

Thems were good times, eh?

I can’t figure out why parents bring children to expensive restaurants. Parents should go out to get away from the little brats. For one thing, the kids will be much happier at home eating a bowlful of candy and watching cartoons while the babysitter smokes crack with the local community college basketball team. Restaurants are for adults, folks.

Back in the late sixties and early seventies, most everyone I knew had long hair, except for, of course, the girls.

I have been, over the course of my life, hip, hep, cool (“Cool, Daddio” as the beatniks and poets used to say) and also cool as in “Cool, Dude” as they said in the sixties. I’ve been groovy (I admit it) and even nifty.

I have been neat, neat-o, boss and rad. I’ve been up to it, and down with it. I’ve gotten jiggy wit it many times, albeit usually with myself.

I’ve been amped, crunked up, and I admit in a moment of candor, grody.

Wi n t e r i s h e a v e n f o r m e , especially during football season.

Karen used to say football was like a drug to me, until I pointed out drugs are like a drug to me.

For years I’ve been telling Karen the flying objects that race across the night sky above our backyard are red-beaked, yellow-tailed swallows, a common species of local birds fond of night diving. She bought it until one of our big-mouthed friends put his two cents in. “No, they are bats,” he informed.

Karen nearly fainted. Within minutes, she emerged from the house with a ream of articles: you guessed it: bats carry rabies.

IN THE NEWS

Now, in addition to worrying about all things moving on the ground, convinced a raccoon lurks about, she casts a constant, wary eye to the skies, waiting for the rabies-carrying bat to swoop down on her.”There’s one!” she pointed, hysterically, the other night.

“No, hon,” I reassured. “That’s a helicopter.”

The only things to drink in our refrigerator are fresh squeezed juices, almond milk and bottled water. Did God stop making beer?

There seems to be a universal practice at weddings, no matter what culture or country, that as the party progresses, drunker and drunker people feel compelled to make complete fools of themselves by doing the same asinine dances.

You know the ones: the YMCA, when you have to spell out the letters with your arms, the Macarena, and of course the bunny hop thing wherein lines of people hop around the room holding on to each other’s waists from behind like a gaggle of freakazoids.

This week’s marks the 26th anniversary of what was probably the most ill-conceived decision ever made by a newspaper editor – to publish this ridiculous column. Shout out to Linda Sherry!

EDITORIAL The Goose And The Golden Egg A year or two ago there was a significant segment of the local populace that believed helicopter noise coming in to and out of East Hampton was the cost of doing business.

It was true then, as it is still true, that the cargo they shuttle are the very shakers and movers who keep our economy, particularly the healthy real estate market so many of us feed off of, churning.

What has happened, put very simply, is the arrogance and audacity of the helicopter operators has effectively soured just about all of us on the entire industry.

The callousness, the insistence on flying in too low and too frequently over residential neighborhoods at all hours has reached a breaking point.

We must not delude ourselves, though. A complete ban on helicopters, as one set of experts is recommending, will surely result in multiple lawsuits, and it will deprive some important citizens of their right to fly to their home destination. We know most people don’t care about the fat cats – that is ill advised, and a seat of the pants reaction.

In the perfect world helicopters would be licensed, monitored, agreeable to voluntary restrictions, and limited to daylight hours. We doubt that stubborn lot would agree to any of these conditions, or if they are even legally enforceable. If not, let the court proceedings begin.

The businesses that make a living at the airport, and the regular pilots who have enjoyed their recreational pursuit for decades, are now in jeopardy. They should not be painted with the same brush as the rogue helicopter operators who seemingly

Independent VOICES

Neglected And Empty Dear Rick, I watched the Town Board meeting a weeks or so ago on LTV, where Tom Ruhle spoke at length (no time limit to speak anymore it seems) about affordable housing and the lack of it out here. He went on about Section 8 housing and was challenged as to who the housing was for, locals, (as it should be) or all of Suffolk county residents?

It seems the latter is the case. You can attest to this by checking out Whalebone Apartments, for one. And by asking around to locals why they cannot find places to live

locally when there are such apartments and housing developments already built?

In my own neighborhood at present, there are two abandoned houses belonging to the town affordable housing program.

They were sold to the town by the owners and sit there unoccupied for at least a year for one and more for the other. Why? Why not utilize what is already built?

Offer these houses for sale to the local people in need or on a list for local affordable housing? Makes sense to me.

And the houses will not sit there neglected and empty. A waste.

I do not understand what happened to the local affordable housing program in the past 25 years. It had good intentions, worked well for a bit and then went rogue.

People were allowed to sell their homes before the 10-year mark (the original agreement so people would stay) that was

flout their perceived invincibility.

Mom and Pop airplanes aren’t noisy and don’t take off and land in the wee hours.

Most pilots can’t afford a massive bump up in rates. We say leave them be.

There are a lot of locals who work at the airport. Their jobs are important. We urge the town board to consider our neighbors and the ramifications of restrictions designed to punish.

Already, there are those chortling about an impending victory. Throwing away millions of dollars in federal funding, taking on a powerful helicopter industry and perhaps the FAA, keeping some of our most successful media and banking moguls from easy access to their homes, and taking away the jobs of a lot of local folks are some of the looming results of the coming town board decision.

These are not laughing matters, or anything to be proud of.

Many of the citizens of the East End from Noyac to Southold have felt the nerve wracking shuddering caused by a helicopter disturbing the quiet summer night skies and causing a palpable hardship to their lives.

Make no mistake about it: the real forces and money behind this move to silence the helicopters wants far more than your happiness. In fact, they doubtless care little about you at all.

What they want will result in untold long-term damage to the East End, because a thriving airport is essential to this economy, and this is the only one we’ve got.

Folks, be very careful whom you jump in bed with around these parts. Oftentimes it’s the deadliest of snakes whispering the sweet nothings you want so much to hear. the idea! They were meant to pay a fine as a result. Then people started renting out their homes in summer, which was not permitted. And then the Town bought a few back and did nothing with them.

Why is this?

Why is Section 8 being offered countywide when this is a local affordable housing solution and program? It boggles the mind, when people living and working locally are paying ridiculously expensive rents, and need homes.

I believe the answer is using the houses that exist for affordable housing, not building more subdivisions. Where does the local community benefit anymore, besides the senior housing? This came to mind after hearing so much talk about county and not too much about local housing and solutions. Recycling homes is a good idea. They are already here and

people would love to move into them. Is there a list anymore? And where is it? Many did truly benefit years ago from a lottery of available affordable land to build on or buya Two Bears or New Sunshine home in a development, a real neighborhood.

But then the ball was dropped and things happened. Like the Apartments at Whalebone. And houses with only single dwellers when the houses were meant for couples and families. I cannot help but wonder what happened to that town program? And what will become of the future of the overburdened town? Hence the illegal rental situation has gone over the edge. I am all for helping outside of the town, but first and foremost, one must take care of its own. No one working here goes to live in Section 8 housing Upisland.

Editor’s Note: The town has abrogated its responsibility to oversee affordable housing here. Private corporations build and run these complexes with no oversight or control by the local government. Millions of dollars change hands. The town’s Housing Authority, meanwhile, averages one project a decade yet is penciled in to spend $36,500 in 2015. Meanwhile the town’s housing department encourages social service recipients to move here and flood our school systems; it costs taxpayers over $400,000 annually to run that department and pay Ruhle, its incompetent director. The entire process is a joke and an indictment of our past town boards.

Inundated With Innuendo Dear Mr. Murphy, It was most pleasant reading in your 12/2 Independent Mr. Zizelis’ reminder of the real accomplishments of President Obama and how our country has progressed and improved from the dreadful state which he inherited in 2009. We have been inundated with innuendo, false facts and outright lies to the contrary; and they worked.

Even some of the more craven of the Democratic party bought into the scenario and proceeded to cut their own throats by running from the President rather than cheering his accomplishments.

They high-tailed and transformed their Donkey into an Ass. Some more bad news for Republicans but great news for Americans: outstanding job growth, lower gas prices (Below. $2 in some areas), higher wages, and lower number of uninsured while health care costs continue to drop. Forty-eight straight months of job growth. This was the best year for job growth in 15 years, since the Clinton years, 1999. AP says, “Boom like numbers,” “US outperforms the countries in the developed world.” Washington Post says: “This is what a real recovery looks like.” N.Y. Times says: “Spectacular!”

What’s your favorite holiday movie?

Jen Santacroce Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. The old, classic version. I think Gene Autry sings in it. I first saw it ages ago. We always watch that channel with “The 25 Days of Christmas.” It’s a tradition for us. They mix it up. Old and new movies. Something for everyone to enjoy.

Suewaine Seaton How The Grinch Stole Christmas. It’s the funniest movie ever. And the true meaning of Christmas plays out as the movie goes on. The Grinch never knew what Christmas was about.

But in the hands of this little girl who is so smart and so small, he really learns what it means.

Henry Weidler I’d have to say, It’s a Wonderful Life. It came on the other day and so I watched it. I really enjoyed it as I do every time I see it. You feel good when it’s over. I like the old movies. I don’t like the new movies. They have too much violence in them.

Tyrone Mitchell My very favorite holiday movie is How The Grinch Stole Christmas and the one with Bill Murray. It’s just so funny. And Bill Murray is awesome in it. I watch it every year with my girlfriend and her daughter and we all have such a good time. people have very little concern. What I’m talking about specifically is local government that lies to the public and denies them statistical information concerning activities in the community.

Some years back, the Southampton Village Board members lied to us by telling us that they didn’t have any records or statistics concerning the number of preborn children killed by abortion at the Southampton Hospital. Of course this was not true and they later admitted that state law requires that a “Fetal Death Certificate” be issued by the hospital or clinic and sent to the appropriate village or town clerk, and then to the County and then the State.

And yes they issue a “Spontaneous” Fetal Death Certificate for a “miscarriage” and an “Induced” Fetal Death Certificate for the pre-born child that was actually killed by the physician. Back 10 years ago or so, Southampton Hospital was recording almost 150 total Fetal Deaths (abortions) with 50 or so in the “Induced” category.

Over these years we have had to file, in this land of freedom, Freedom of Information forms to force the local politicians to give us the numbers of these deaths. We have noticed that the number of Fetal Deaths at Southampton Hospital continued to decline to a few above zero.

Having been lied to in the past, we were

suspicious of this decline.

Also, the “talk” in town was that the Southampton Hospital does “not” perform abortions to kill the pre-born child. Upon checking with the Hospital we found that they in fact “do” that means an affirmative “yes” in performing abortions.

Now, with sexual activity among all age groups, especially teens, at an all time high,the available data says that 41 percent of pregnancies end up in abortion.

Now, with 600 live births reported in Southampton Town alone; do some math.

Forty-one percent of 600 is 246 abortions, or pre-born children killed.

So what is going on? For two weeks now we have asked help from our neighbors, the local politicians at the town, village, county, state and national levels.

We told our “leaders” that we as a nation know how to send our young men and women to die in Afghanistan and Iraq to establish “democracy” but here at home we cannot receive statistics and facts concerning a very controversial issue called abortion.

Also, there’s an outcry about a President that violates our constitution, but locally it’s OK to deny statistical data to the community. Come on folks this government “blackout” or suppression of the truth should concern everyone, even those that support a “woman’s right” to kill her child.

In Russia and China it’s called “censorship” and “government control” better known as “totalitarianism.” But here, in our Democracy, our local politicians are able to legally extend “censorship” to what you are permitted to know. Does anyone remember a time and place called Nazis Germany and World War II? If my memory servers me correctly they also “controlled” what information the people would be given.

Could this happen here? It is happening here. If they deny us abortion information can we believe what they tell us about “Ebola” or some other health or social concern? Look at the reports from the Southampton Press and other local media, concerning the Tuckahoe and Southampton School merger? I have seen little if any real mention of the immigration matter.

The Press doesn’t really mention that Tuckahoe has 70 percent Hispanic children in grades pre-school to third grade. However, the people I talk to are very concerned about this and say it’s the immigration issue that affects the way they vote. But the media wants to keep it quiet. Does the immigration matter need to be fixed? Yes! But it also needs to be

discussed and accurate information given to the voter.

Be for or against abortion, but wake up because our local politicians are slowly taking away your right to speak and they are censoring what information you can be trusted with. Also, we dare not discuss race or religion lest someone think us racists or bigots.

This is also evident in the way our politically correct society wants to sterilize political debate by heavy-handed moderation or forcing hand written arbitrarily selected questions by groups like the League of Women Voters.

You may not feel threatened now but

there will come a time when you are censored or denied information or refused the right to speak.

During the Nazi control of Germany there is a quote by a Pastor Martin Niemoller, a person that initially couldn’t get interested in the problems of the nation, but later said,“ In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.” Be careful my friend, it may not be long before you can’t “speak up”!

Independent VOICES

Continued from page 17.

A policeman shoots to stop, not to kill. It’s called American justice.

Regardless of whether running away or running toward, turning around, spinning around, hands up or hands down, smiling or making funny faces or scary sounds, there is no excuse. One stops the perpetrator and brings them forward to be tried by our judicial system. It is the way it is supposed to work. Surely there are shooting ranges where our police can hone their skills to debilitate a suspect with something less than a lethal let alone a fusillade of bullets.

On the other hand, it is a pity that such a worthy cause should have such a far less worthy impetus. Michael Brown was a bully, a thief and a thug and deserved to be captured and incarcerated apropos to his crimes to the nth degree. It’s the way

REAL ESTATE

the system works . . . and should.

The alternative is what we are witnessing; some marching for social justice and then sadly there are the opportunistic low life rabble using any opportunity to distort and shame the word civil from “Civil Disobedience� as a guise to loot, steal and destroy, contrary to those whose cause is just . . . even destroying the property and livelihood of their own.

Not quite the way Martin Luther King had planned his demonstrations and there should be no confusing these criminals distorting the cause of their brethren as a ruse to satisfy their lowly self-serving interest through unlawful criminal acts.

A policeman’s job has got to be one of the toughest imaginable and we owe in large part, our very safety and security to them. All the more reason that they cannot allow their actions to be compromised. It may sound cool or even cruel, but, “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.�

Hamptons Hanukkah Happenings

By Emily Toy

Tu e s d a y n i g h t m a r k s t h e beginning of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. According to Southampton’s Jewish Center (214 Hill Street, 631-287-2249), the eightday holiday celebrates the triumph of light over darkness when more than 21 centuries ago, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) who habitually persecuted the Jews.

Against all odds, a small group of faithful Jews defeated the Seleucid army and reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. When they sought to light the temple’s menorah (the seven branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil had escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously, the one-day supply burned for eight days, thus instituting the festival of Hanukkah.

East End Business & Service

Here’s a roundup of local Hanukkah happenings coming up to celebrate the Festival of Lights: This Saturday, it’s a Hanukkahthemed Torah study and holiday rituals workshop with Rabbi Dan and Lu Geffen, both at Temple Adas Israel at noon. Located at the corner of Elizabeth Street and Atlantic Avenue in Sag Harbor. Call 631-7250904 or visit templeadasisrael.org for more information.

Join in for a Hanukkah party at the home of Toby Spitz at 11 AM on Sunday. Make latkes at the party, or bring some from home.

RSVP to tobyspitz@att.net. Also on Sunday, Sag Harbor’s Temple Adas Israel hosts a Hanukkah party for all ages starting at 3 PM. During the party, all are to donate to the temple’s toy drive, collecting toys Continued on page 31.

The Mattituck Tuckers are off and running. Playing in the annual Kendall Madison tip off Classic in East Hampton, the Tuckers knocked off Westhampton in Friday’s opener and took out a gritty Pierson team in Saturday’s finale.

Both teams were skittish in Friday’s opener. Westhampton, turnover prone, hung in there basically because Mattituck was having trouble finding the range.

Over plodding through the first quarter tied at five, Mattituck opened up a seven-point half time lead. The Hurricanes came back in the third quarter thanks primarily to the hot arm of Charlie Computo.

Finally, James Nish and the

Tuckers began finding the range and pulled away. The final was 40-31.

Nish had 12 points and teammate Joe Tardif added 10. Neil Hierman scored nine for the Hurricanes and Computo added eight.

In Saturday’s finale Mattituck was more relaxed, but Pierson was as well. The Tuckers played tough enough to withstand several Pierson rallies and earned the championship 67-59. Parker Tuthill keyed a fourth quarter run to seal the deal. He finished with 14 points, as did Chris Dwyer and Daniel Fedun. Steven Nusnile had 15 for the losers. Andre James added 11 including three treys, as did Ben Kuhper. Sean Sloane added 10.

Hampton Bays was a winner out

Bees Start Fast

By Rick Murphy

The last time Bridgehampton Bees Coach Carl Johnson had a Furman, Manning, and Harding on the floor he was collecting State Championship plaques.

Forgive him if a sense of dejavu has set in. Two of his starters last season had deep roots. Tylik Furman’s father, Charles, was a mercurial point guard for Johnson more than 25 years ago. Josh Lamison’s uncle J.P. Harding was a bruising center for Johnson during the same era.

Both Tylik and Josh are back again this season, joined by a new face – Charles Manning Jr. Manning’s father, better known as Maurice (Mo), won three state titles with Bridgehampton, was named the New York State Class D Player of the Year, and went on to win two more titles, including a record-breaking winning streak, for Suffolk Community College and Coach Rich Wrase.

The Manning youngster “doesn’t shoot as well as Maurice but he’s more athletic,” Johnson said. And that’s saying a lot.

to the host team on Thursday 72-46.

Kevin Santacroce, with 20, and Nick Kneski, 13, led the locals.

The Monarchs rebounded in the consolation game, besting Lindenhurst Mercy 52-43. Santacroce had 21 points and Kneski added 15 points for the winners.

Given the dearth of Class D schools hereabouts, Bridgehampton will become the Long Island Class D champion barring some unknown disaster. Towards that end, Johnson already has his eyes on the upstate Class D teams. In fact, he’s scheduled two games in Syracuse at the end of January to scope things out.

The three youngsters, all juniors, hinted at things to come during Friday’s opener at Greenport. They combined for 51 points before Johnson called off the dogs. The 59-33 thumping of the Porters was even more telling considering Elijah Jackson, yet another talented returning starter, is out for another three weeks with an injury.

On this night Furman was the high scorer, tallying 21. Manning, six-foot three and still growing, had 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

The Bees started off sluggishly, but found their game in the third quarter with a blistering 17-3 run enroute to a 32-13 second half blowout.

Lamison, who hit for 50 in a game last year, was content with 11.

Angel Colon led Greenport with 11.

Pierson plays at the beehive Friday at 6 PM. The Bees travel to Smithtown Christian next Tuesday.

Yankees Decline Likely To Continue Major League Baseball’s hot stove is likely to heat up this week with the Winter Meetings in San Diego.

But, there has already been an early flurry of moves, none of which bode well for the New York Yankees.

The Red Sox made the biggest splash last week, signing shortstop Hanley Ramirez, four years/$88 million, and third baseman Pablo Sandoval for five years and $95 million.

Meantime, the Toronto Blue Jays have been active, signing one-time Yankee catcher Russell Martin for five years/$82 million, and trading for A’s All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson. The AL East is continuing to improve, while the Yankees are getting older and more fragile.

Last offseason the Yanks went on a $471 million spending spree for Masahiro Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, and Brian McCann.

The risk of signing a combination of injury-prone, aging, and unknown commodities did not pay off, as the Yankees missed the postseason in back to back years for the first time in two decades. But, between the spending binge last winter and the return of Alex Rodriguez’s $30 million/season, the early belief is that the payroll in the Bronx may be maxed out.

Granted, we’ve heard that before.

It was last offseason that the Yankees claimed there would be some belttightening to stay under the luxury tax number. We know how that turned out.

While lefty reliever Andrew Miller was a nice pick up last week (four years/$36 million), if there is someone on the open market they should be targeting, it’s starting pitcher Max Scherzer. Over the past three years, Scherzer has won a Cy Young (2013), pitched to a 3.24 ERA, made at least 32 starts each year, and averaged 207 innings. He’d bring stability to a rotation that desperately needs it.

CC Sabathia’s future is an unknown, Tanaka is recovering from elbow trouble, Ivan Nova returns from Tommy John, Michael Pineda’s health is no guarantee, and we still haven’t heard if Hiroki Kuroda will return.

The biggest hurdle is Scherzer is represented by Scott Boras, and they already turned down a six year/$144 million offer from the Tigers last

winter.

But, Scherzer or not, the 2015 season will be another dogfight for the Yankees to try and make the postseason.

The Orioles are coming off an appearance in the American League Championship Series, and will welcome back third baseman Manny Machado from knee surgery.

The Blue Jays additions to an 83win team were previously noted (Donaldson, Martin). Martin not only adds quality offense at the catching position, but perhaps more importantly, guidance for young hurlers Daniel Norris, Aaron Sanchez, and Jeff Hoffman. And the Red Sox are clearly ready to get back to their winning ways next season.

The Yankees are currently left with uncertainty throughout the rotation, an aging line up of players more suited to be designated hitters, than fielders, see: Beltran, Carlos, Rodriguez, Alex, and Teixeira, Mark.

As for A-Rod, no one really knows what to expect from the 39-year old, who hasn’t played competitive baseball in over a year, and has two bad hips. Don’t forget the circus and distraction he is likely to cause in his “welcome back” tour to the Bigs.

No two teams were better representations of the ever-changing landscape of Major League Baseball than the World Series match up of the Kansas City Royals and the San Francisco Giants. Teams with young starting pitching, speed, versatility, and deep bullpens are the ones having the most success in today’s post-PED game.

Outside of Dellin Betances, who still has plenty to prove, the Yankees have continued to fail to develop players in their own farm system into Major League talent. With the model to success changing across the sport, the Yankees are falling behind. They can go sign Scherzer to a mega-contract, which would be a very nice addition, but it won’t fix the long-term issues within the organization. That would take a philosophical change from the management . . . and I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Play Bridge A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. Most South declarers played the contract at 3, 4 or 5NT. One North bid an optimistic slam try with a total of 32 points in the two hands and no five card suit. Now South had to try to make the contract. It turns out that he had to play well and be lucky in three different suits.

When West led the four of clubs, South noted that the three of clubs did not appear after he played the ace. Instead, East played the 10 of clubs. South concluded that West had five clubs but not the queen.

That meant that the queen would fall on the second trick which would yield 3 club tricks.

After playing the ace of clubs, South led the 4 of diamonds from dummy and played the king from his hand. West played the 10. Perhaps the queen of diamonds would fall under the ace of diamonds but South next led the 4 of hearts and finessed with the jack which lost to East’s king. East then led the 6 of diamonds. South did not believe that East would lead away from the queen and played the ace. Good fortune. West played the queen.

East Hampton High School Wrestling Team will kick off its season Saturday, hosting the 39th Annual Sprig Gardner Wrestling Tournament. The eight high school teams that will take to the mats include Bayport, Hampton Bays, Southampton, Ward Melville, Hauppauge, Riverhead, Westhampton, and East Hampton. The young men will be competing in fifteen weight classes: 99, 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, and 285 pounds.

“The Sprig continues to be a true community event,” Coach Steve Tseperkas said. “The varsity tournament will be running in the high school gym on three mats and the JV Tournament will be held in the Wrestling Room. Wrestling will be going on all day and will feature All-County and All-State wrestlers from some of the teams.”

The Preliminaries begin at 9 AM. The semi-finals should start around 2 PM and the finals should begin around 6 PM. The awards ceremony will follow the finals and consolation matches. Back by popular demand, the master of ceremony for the day’s events will be Steven Tekulsky.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Children under 10 years old are free. Long sleeve T-shirts commemorating the tournament will be on sale for $20 on a first come basis.

Long Island wrestling under the leadership of Frank “Sprig” Gardner began at East Hampton in 1933. One year later Gardner accepted the position of Director of Athletics and head wrestling coach at Mepham High School in Bellmore. Sprig Gardner is considered to be the “father of wrestling on Long Island.” Many of those who wrestled or coached on Long Island in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s had attended wrestling clinics conducted by him. His influence can still be felt today.
