Flashing Lights And . . . An Underpass?

By Kitty Merrill

Safer and faster. Few people would equate those two words with County Road 39 in Southampton.

But if Jay Schneiderman’s vision comes to fruition, both adjectives could some day apply to one of Long Island’s most congested thoroughfares.

This week the Southampton Town supervisor announced a pilot program he hopes will help ease backups during the morning trade parade. The test plan will change the traffic signal at the intersection of CR39 and Tuckahoe Road to a blinking light on April 19, 20,and 21 between the hours of 6 and 9 AM. During this pilot plan, traffic

heading south on Tuckahoe Road will be prohibited from turning east (left) from Tuckahoe Road onto County Road 39. Traffic heading north on Tuckahoe Road will be prohibited from turning west (left) onto County Road 39.

Through traffic on Tuckahoe Road crossing County Road 39 will also be prohibited during this pilot.

Bottomline? It will be just vehicles heading east and west on that section of the road. No turns onto the highway.

County traffic engineers believe changing the traffic light from a stoplight to a caution light may reduce stop and go traffic patterns on CR39. This change may

measurably lessen the morning commute. Currently, Schneiderman said, the light stops traffic and all the reaction time necessary to get vehicles, especially big trucks, rolling again, contributes to congestion and lengthy drive times.

The pilot program will give engineers data to indicate if a more permanent change would lessen some of the morning congestion along County Road 39 especially during summer months. Many commuters complain they typically add 45 to 60 minutes to their morning commute along this stretch of road. “If we can cut at least ten minutes off a morning commute it may be worth it,” Schneiderman said.

Faced with burgeoning traffic problems 10 years ago, the town and Suffolk County decided to expand CR 39 by adding additional lanes.

The $13 million expansion was completed in 2008.

Before the extra lanes were added, Schneiderman supported a “Cops and Cones” program that changed the traffic pattern, carving out an extra lane during peak travel times. It was supposed to run just a brief period of time, but was so successful, the county kept it going, Schneiderman recalled. “If the blinking light is so successful people ask to put it back, if it really makes a big difference, we’ll consider it,” he said. “The main thing is to test ideas.”

Schneiderman’s got an idea for a long-term fix that’s still in the conceptual stage. He believes “an engineered solution” may allow traffic to flow better in the area and is working with officials at the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on an underpass plan.

Over the next several years, the Tuckahoe Road/CR 39 intersection CONTINUED ON PAGE 22.

HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE FOR… Hillary.

This country will barely survive Obama. Two bad presidents in a row will sink us. We won’t make it with Trump’s simple-minded “We’ll build a fence and force Mexico to pay for it” type of ideas and all his other adolescent bravado.

I’m a Republican who is voting for Hillary. I honestly believe there is only one person alive who can save the Republican party.

And that’s Hillary.

Follow me for a second: Stealing the nomination from Trump at the convention would be a disaster.

His followers will stay home on Election Day and the Republicans will be routed. For the next four years Donald will claim he would have easily beaten Hillary and he’ll blame the Republican establishment for his being pushed aside.

Do you know what Trump will do in 2020? He’ll be running for president again and ruining the Republican chances one more time – perhaps for all time. Once again, with his crude tactics, he will “debate and destroy” legitimate

Republican candidates.

So how can Hillary save the Republican Party?

By beating Trump in the election, the same way Lyndon Johnson beat Barry Goldwater in 1964. I know because I voted for Goldwater in that election.

Johnson had an incredible popular vote victory of 61%.

Johnson’s vote total was 4 3 ,12 9 , 7 8 4 . G o l d w a t e r ’ s w a s 27,178,188.

Despite some wonderful work he did in the Senate, Goldwater – who was a great man – was never considered a serious presidential candidate again.

This is how we must stop the vampire Trump – with a wooden “vote” stake through the heart.

Then and only then can we start the process to win back the White House and undo the damage that Obama has done.

We haven’t begun to scratch the surface of the damage. Before any Democrats write to me with their litany of what a brilliant president Obama has been, just picture in

your mind Obama watching a baseball game and doing the wave in Cuba and dancing the tango in Argentina while in Brussels the blood hadn’t yet dried from a savage terrorist attack on innocent people, including four Americans.

Race relations in the United States have never been worse. This is after 54% of Americans welcomed the idea of a black president in 2008.

Obama has lost us the Middle East, and he’s lost us the respect of the world.

Do you Democrats really believe ISIS won’t attack the United States, soon? You do? Then I’ll bet last weekend on Easter you stayed up and waited for the Easter Bunny to show up with jelly beans and marshmallows for you.

Hillary, who is much tougher than Obama, will be a decent president, as long as she can keep her hand out of the till. She will be a tough opponent in 2020, but with Trump out of the way, we Republicans will have a chance. Just don’t underestimate the political power and advertising superiority of Democrats, and how they play interesting games with the truth.

What follows is an edited email from a gentleman named Marty Orenstein that humorously points this out.

It’s titled: What I Learned Watching the Democrat Debates College should be free and all student loans canceled.

All medical treatment should be free.

To become an American citizen you just need to get to the U.S.

IN THE NEWS

The economy sucks and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

The middle class is shrinking rapidly and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

Av e r a g e f a m i l y i n c o m e i s continuing to drop and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

Black youths have an unemployment rate over 50% and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

Hispanic youth unemployment is over 35% and after 7+ years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.

50% of the population is paying 100% of all the taxes and they are still not paying their “fair share.”

The other 50% are not receiving nearly enough free stuff and deserve more.

Everyone who votes Democrat will work less, make more money, get more time off, spend more time with family, pay less taxes, and get more government subsidies.

When America grows up, we want to be like Norway, Sweden or the Netherlands.

There’s a quagmire in Iraq and Obama’s complete retreat from there has nothing to do with the situation.

Republicans want dirty air, oil spills, trash in the streets, polluted oceans, no medical treatment, young people without any education being paid the lowest possible wages, and starving children, and they don’t believe in equal rights and are responsible for Jim Crow Laws.

Snowden and General Petraeus broke laws for releasing and not securing secret documents, but Hillary Clinton shares no responsibility for doing worse.

If Hillary is elected, everything will be rainbows and unicorns – just like with Obama. Hillary and Bill Clinton were born poor black children.

Evil looks like anything rich, successful and productive.

You will receive a participation trophy in life.

Everything is still Bush’s fault.

Indy Fit Fitness Challenge, Week 3

Spring Cleaning

By Kitty Merrill

Eight weeks and five days till Memorial Day. Yikes! Time to get rid of those peeps and chocolate bunnies and concentrate.

This week, let’s talk about cleanses. Cleanses get a bad rap because people generally equate them with drinking nasty swill, then spending a couple of days in the loo. Certainly, there are proponents of such measures as a means to detoxing the body and dropping weight quickly. I like to eat way too much to chug icky stuff and call it a lifestyle change.

Last year, I kicked off a path to clean eating, and, as it turned out, a 40-pound weight loss, with a five day Ayurvedic Cleanse offered by Simply Sublime in East Hampton.

According to Sublime co-proprietor Juliette Logie, their cleanse is very doable and teaches you to use whole vegan foods in delicious recipes and to move out of food habits that are no longer serving you.

The goal is to move away from highly processed foods, considered toxic in some circles. The Sublime eating cleanse is an eating cleanse that uses vegan alkaline-based food. Three nutrient dense meals, plus fresh organic juice and (my favorite) Master Cleanse Lemonade are included each day.

Each day of the five day cleanse, I picked up all my food, ready to go at the Springs Fireplace Road shop.

Just taking the decision-making out of the menu for five days was a huge help.

Simply Sublime is offering another cleanse beginning on Monday, and I’m in. Be sure to visit our Facebook page for daily updates and info about what I get to eat!

Logie reported the cleanses have become so popular that a lot of customers continue doing them monthly after trying it for the first time. They cap the number of participants at 25 and the roster fills up fast. Call 631-604-1566 to learn more.

Next week check back for the deets on the next cleanse I did after Sublime’s five days of gourmet fun, the 10-day green smoothie cleanse.

The two worked together perfectly for me.

Of course, check with your MD before setting out on any special food or exercise plan.

In the meantime, we’re still

drinking water, right? Trying to get a move on five days a week, yes?

Remember the McGintee era financial meltdown in East Hampton Town? It’s baaaaaaack.

East Hampton Town wants out of the litigation filed by tenants of the Windmill II senior affordable housing project over a persistent mold problem. But the tenants maintain the mold, which flared up in 2013, should have been removed in 2009.

Two former tenants, Eleanor Cobb and Joan Holden, have sued

not only Windmill LLC, the entity that built and manages the facility on Accabonac Highway, but the town and Thomas Ruhle, the town’s Housing Director.

They contend that when the mold was originally discovered in 2009 it was not properly remediated because the town in essence spent HUD subsidies earmarked for Windmill II LLC to help keep the town afloat.

Rumors were rampant for years CONTINUED ON B-3.

Farina Will Clear Name, Attorney Vows

By Rick Murphy

Scott Farina, the Superintendent of the Southampton School District, is a victim of an overzealous media that rushes rumors into publication without bothering to check the facts, his attorney, Steve Politi, charged this week.

“An X-rated selfie allegedly taken by a Hamptons school superintendent is making the rounds on campus, and is now part of an official investigation into the reputed Lothario, sources told The Post,” The New York Post reported in an item attributed to Selim Algar published March 18.

The item came on the heels of a terse announcement by Heather

M cC a l l i o n , th e scho o l bo a r d president, who announced the district had hired outside counsel “to examine allegations that were brought to our attention regarding our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Scott Farina.”

Rumors have swirled through the district for the past month about perceived discretions allegedly committed by Farina – but nothing has been proven.

Nor has Farina missed class time, as was alleged in some quarters. “He’s here. He has never been suspended. His work has never been uninterrupted.” Politi said his client has been the victim of a smear campaign.

The picture, for example, which The Independent has, does not picture Farina. The male in the x-rated image is not identifiable.

And it is not a “selfie” either, his attorney said.

you pass it around or how many times you lie about it,” Politi said.

“It doesn’t make it true.”

One rumor was the picture, which is x-rated, was taken from a device owned by the district and used by Farina. “Nobody has even bothered to take the first step, to see where the image comes from.

It was not sent by my client. No such photographs exist on his Ipad.”

The distribution of the saucy picture was part of an orchestrated campaign by an ex-girlfr1end, the subject of complaints “In two states,” the attorney said.

The woman in question, who resides in Center Moriches and works in Hampton Bays, has declined to reply to requests for comment from this newspaper.

Farina is recently divorced.

His w i fe an d fami l y l i v e i n Pennsylvania.

Politi said the latest incident is the classic case of a scorned women seeking revenge. “They had a relationship. Now he is dating someone else. Every allegation is unfounded.”

Politi said the woman, already allegedly has a defamation suit against her filed by the wife of an ex-boyfriend.

“I assume she gave the quotes to the Post. She tried to make this as embarrassing as possible.”

Allegations are swirling that Farina gave answers to a Regents test to a student and that he committed some kind of fiscal impropriety.

“Every allegation is unfounded,” Politi said. “I can’t talk about the investigation while it is still ongoing because we agreed not to.” He declined to say if the State Department of Education is investigating, as is typically the case when grade fixing or test tampering is involved.

We are cooperating fully. I applaud this investigation. No investigation is limited to one or two events. It would be foolish to not investigate everything,” the attorney said.

that under the regime of former Town Supervisor Bill McGintee the town had been hemorrhaging money. In June 2009, the town’s budget officer Ted Hults was arrested and charged with seven felonies, including raiding the town’s Community Preservation Fund to pay bills – the CPF is by law a dedicated fund.

Ruhle acknowledges that at one point he withheld HUD payments that were supposed to go to Windmill II because of the mold problem.

But Lawrence E. Kelly, who represents Holden and Cobb, argues in court papers that the town, with Ruhle’s knowledge, diverted the HUD money to town coffers because it was desperate for cash. HUD subsidizes the rent paid by tenants to make the apartments affordable to seniors with limited incomes.

Ruhle declined to comment this week.

The attorney representing Ruhle and East Hampton Town, Brian S. Sokoloff, filed a motion to dismiss the suit. Kelly in turn has filed a memorandum of law urging the U.S. District Court to dismiss Sokoloff’s motion.

“This case is not about mold,” Sokoloff said in an interview. “The town is not responsible whether there is mold or not.” He declined

IN DEPTH

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

to comment about how HUD money is received and distributed by the town. “That’s not what this case is all about.”

Sokoloff said the case against Ruhle is a smear campaign. “If he wants to make complaints he can go to the prosecutor. He wants to smear someone. It’s disgusting.”

Kelly, is his court filing, noted that the town donated the land the complex was built on and that Ruhle’s office distributes the HUD funds. These facts provide proof the town is intertwined with the Windmill II board and thus liable. He is charging his clients’ Constitutional Rights were violated because they tried to warn other tenants of the dangers of mold and were suppressed from doing so.

The town acknowledges in its court filing that “beginning in 2009 the Premises suffered from a mold condition and undertook abatement measures which the plaintiffs claim were insufficient."

But Sokoloff argues a government official has “qualified immunity.” The Plaintiffs must show the violation of constitutional rights resulted from a municipal custom or policy,” he said.

Cobb moved out after she produced medical records stating her health was deteriorating because of the mold.

On July 26, 2013 Kathleen M. Restivo, a Lake Success doctor wrote that Cobb had to be vacated from her apartment. “She is short of breath . . . she has a sore . . . she is recently losing her hair . . . the mold is being vented directly up under her air conditioner. It would be a shame to have her succumb to an environmental hazard.”

The reason Cobb needed documentation is because all of the renters signed a lease stating that the apartments were their primary residences — if they left, not only would their federal assistance

end, but they would not have their leases renewed. They were, in essence trapped in the moldinfected dwellings, the tenants charged.

Holden, the outspoken tenants’

rep, was evicted after Ruhle charged she did not live on the premises, a violation of HUD bylaws. She provided letters from three doctors documenting the effect the mold had on her allergies.

Senators: Save Plum Island

By Rick Murphy

U.S. Senators from New York and Connecticut are urging the government to preserve Plum Island. As it stands now the island is slated to be sold at auction once the research facility there is relocated to Kansas.

U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand urged the Senate Committee

on Appropriations to allow the island to be preserved last week. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is also on board with the preservation plan.

The senators are part of a contingent of local politicians angling to prevent Plum Island from falling into private hands.

S o u t h o l d To w n h a s a l r e a d y upzoned it to the point where

development would be extremely limited, though it is not certain the move will prevail in court.

“We are positive they can withstand any court challenge,” c o u n t e r e d S o u t h o l d To w n Supervisor Scott Russell.

Congressman Lee Zeldin has sponsored a bill that would mandate the Island be preserved.

Zeldin said he “believes strongly

JEWELRY REPAIR

in local control and that Plum Island offers Long Island a unique research and environmental resource that should be preserved for generations to come.”

“With open space ever dwindling on Long Island, we should do everything possible to preserve the environmental and wildlife habitat that is Plum Island,” Schumer said.

The 840-acre island is technically in Southold Town but owned by the U.S. government. The island has been used as a government run research facility since 1954.

It is slated to close in 2022. There are currently 300 employees on the island, with about 200 based on Long Island.

Michael C. Carroll, the author of Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory, demonized the island, stating over the years scientists have studied numerous dangerous and even deadly viruses and forms of biological warfare.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and General Services Administration (GSA) in September, 2012 calling for both agencies to submit to a consent order requiring them to present a comprehensive environmental cleanup plan for Plum Island and giving the state final review of the Island’s conditions before it is put up for sale.

St. Patty’s Day Lockup S o u t h a m p t o n To w n Po l i c e arrested a Hampton Bays man on March 17 and charged him with a felony count of Driving While Intoxicated.

Selven Maldonado-Buezo, 28, was allegedly driving erratically in a white Toyota pickup and spotted by a witness.

Police said he was spotted traveling eastbound on Montauk Highway and pulled over. Police determined he had been drinking excessively. A computer check revealed a prior DWI, elevating the new charge to a felony. He was additionally charged with driving without a license, according to police reports.

Maldonado-Buezo was taken into custody and held overnight for arraignment.

Life In The Wrong Lane A failure to stay on the right side of the road resulted in a felony arrest of another Hampton Bays man. Southampton Town Police said shortly before 5 AM Sunday morning a vehicle on West Montauk Highway was observed swerving. The driver, Carlos PullaSolano, 21, was pulled over. Police said he was intoxicated and charged him with DWI. PullaSolano allegedly resisted arrest and was additionally charged. A computer check resulted in a felony charge of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation First Degree.

He was taken into custody and held for arraignment.

Juvenile Behavior Police said another Hampton Bays man was driving drunk with a minor in the car. Shorty after 1 AM Sunday a 1999 Mustang being driven erratically by Santos A. Reyes, 46, was headed south on Ponguogue Avenue. After pulling him over police said they ascertained Reyes was drunk and his passenger underage.

The parents of the passenger were called and Reyes was arrested and charged with a felony count of DWI and Endangering the Welfare of a Minor, a Misdemeanor.

Daily Fantasy Sports Shutdown By State

By Rick Murphy

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has succeeded in his efforts to shut down Daily Fantasy Sports in New York State – for the moment.

Schneiderman initially ordered the closure in November but two of the largest service providers, Draft Kings and FanDuel, obtained a restraining order to allow them to keep operating.

Last week, though, the two sides pounded out a temporary agreement to cease betting pending proposed legislation that would legalize DFS in some capacity. Yahoo and other smaller providers also suspended operations as well.

At issue is whether DFS is a game of skill or a game of chance. Games of chance are considered gambling and fall under strict supervision from the state.

“We hope to work with legislative leaders in each state to ensure our fans maintain access to the fun

and excitement [they] have come to love at FanDuel. The commissioners at the top professional sports leagues including the NFL, the NBA and MLB share support for sensible regulation of fantasy sports that protects consumers, without sacrificing their enjoyment of the game,” FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles said.

Several other states have banned DFS and several more, most notably New Jersey, are considering banning it -- critics say the move is fueled by the casino industry, which feels DFS hurts its core business by siphoning money away from the casinos.

More to the point, states extract huge licensing fees from gambling operations. Should DFS companies like Draft Kings have to pay each state for a license it would become cost prohibitive.

Though players have been shut out, the agreement forged will eventually benefit both sides, legal experts say.

The settlement means the companies would not have to pay any fines or penalties should the courts – or the state legislature – decide DFS is indeed gambling.

“This is a decisive and important victory for the rule of law in New York State,” Schneiderman said at a news conference. “No company or individual no matter how powerful or well financed is above the law.”

New York is one of the largest markets for daily fantasy sports in the United States.

According to court filings, the state was Draft Kings’ second biggest by revenue in 2014. Fantasy Sports has grown into a $75 billion industry over the past decade.

On the other hand, if daily fantasy sports are legalized in New York this year all charged leveled

by Schneiderman will be dropped.

New York State Senator John Bonacic, a Republican, has a bill pending in Albany that would provide a path to legality for DFS sites, which would pay registration fees under his proposal.

The agreement forged last week is a temporary one. Barring a change in state law the cease and desist order will end in September

and court proceedings would continue – Draft Kings and Fan Duel are appealing Schneiderman’s original order to cease operations.

Should the DFS sites win their appeal the Attorney General’s office agreed it would terminate its stop order and not pursue further action.

If the NYAG wins his appeal, then Draft Kings and FanDuel will drop all lawsuits and future appeals. The AG will also stop pursuit of all claims outside of the aforementioned advertising claims.

Bonacic said his legislation sends a message to the court: “We are prepared to allow daily fantasy sports to continue — providing it’s monitored, it’s regulated and there are consumer protections.”

Meanwhile, the providers have refunded all money held in player accounts.

RICK’S SPACE

Some Exotic Locale As regular readers know I don’t take many vacations – just one long weekend a year. So naturally I want to go to the most exotic retreat possible, to luxuriate in five star surroundings, to pamper myself, to rejuvenate for the long summer of work ahead.

That’s why I go to the same place every year: Albany, New York.

For those who are too young to remember (or too old to remember) Governor Nelson Rockefeller spent billions of dollars creating the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, reshaping the city and thus building a lasting monument to himself. No one lives downtown. No one goes downtown. It was a gigantic waste of money.

Q: How is Nelson Rockefeller?

A: He’s feeling Happy.

If you don’t remember that joke, you probably weren’t around when Nelson Rockefeller visited Sag Harbor. I would say it was in the early sixties, and he stood on the front steps of the Whaling Museum meeting and greeting the locals. He served four terms as governor, ran three times for the presidency and was the Vice President of the United States under President Ford which prompted the joke, “Ford asking Rockefeller to be VP is like asking Morris The Cat to guard the tuna

March 30, 2016

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

salad.”

Rockefeller was an extremely wealthy man. We know this because, duh, he was a Rockefeller.

He divorced his first wife Mary in 1962 after an affair he was having became public knowledge, leaving her the 30-room apartment on Fifth Avenue, and married the other woman, Margaretta “Happy” Murphy, who was, predictably, much younger than the first wife. The divorce killed any chance of Rockefeller becoming president.

As for Albany, I don’t go there to sightsee, though I’m quite certain there are magnificent attractions in Albany, somewhere. I go for the annual National Albany Rotisserie Baseball League draft, which was held for 26 years in a seedy neighborhood bar named the Orchard Tavern, a sports bar with greasy food and giant televisions. Our league members loved it.

Two years ago, though, as we stood outside freezing, waiting for the draft to begin, it occurred to us no one was inside. We waited for three hours, though the draft was supposed to start at 8 AM (don’t worry, we have a strict no drinking policy until 9 AM).

Finally it dawned on us that no one was coming to let us in.

The Law Office of William D. Shapiro 631-594-2712 (O) • 631-377-1168 (M) WDSesq@gmail.com Serving the East End Legal Services With Pride, Professionalism & Integrity

After 26 years we were tossed aside like, well, like Nelson Rockefeller’s first wife.

Now we go to Maggie’s, a sports bar with greasy food and giant televisions in an equally seedy part of town. The only difference is they specialize in clams and seafood, which defies all logic. It’s not as if people travel from all over the world to sample Albany clams.

The 20 or so guys (and one lady, Sue) who gather at Maggie’s try to be cordial to each other, but this is a big money Fantasy Baseball League and the truth is we spend eight hours trying to make each other miserable while we draft our teams.

One annual highlight is our bathroom break at 11 AM. Everyone rushes to the facilities simultaneously though only one person can use it at a time. Sue always moans, “I hate waiting on line.” That’s her joke – she is usually the only woman in the bar and thus has the ladies room to herself. But if one of the guys tries to use it she runs up to the owner and tells him there is a pervert in the ladies room exposing himself.

Rockefeller eventually tired of feeling Happy. On January 26, 1979 he died of a heart attack at the age of 70. It was said he was in

his office working on a book, but eventually the story broke down.

Nelson Rockefeller died in the saddle in his midtown townhouse.

Underneath him was his 25-yearold assistant.

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum has a jawbone of a Killer Whale arched around the front door. In my very first newspaper column for the Sag Harbor Herald I wrote that it was the jawbone of Paul Sidney, the loquacious WLNG radio personality.

I couldn’t believe the hate mail that followed (even then they knew). I sought out Sidney and apologized.

“I loved it!” he said. “Keep the jokes coming, just make sure you spell my name right!”

My sister kissed Nelson Rockefeller right there, by Sidney’s jawbone.

We have a home movie of it. Her name is . . . wait for it . . . “Happy.”

I’m lying.

Happy wasn’t related to my branch of the Murphy clan, because no one in my family is happy. In fact, my uncle’s name is “Clinically Depressed Murphy” and we fondly refer to my little nephew as “Mr. Morose.”

Someday, I promised Karen, I will take her on a luxurious vacation in some exotic locale. But I didn’t tell her it would be Albany.

I want to surprise her. “Try the clams,” I’ll tell her.

My name is Maggie May. I have been at the shelter for 3 1/2 years now I have a new Forster mom who volunteered at the shelter and I guess I was lucky she took me home. She takes me to the beach on long runs I never have seen water or sand before it is beautiful. Sometimes she allows me to run for a short distance but when she calls I run back, sit, and stay. She tells me what a good girl I am. I am able to have quiet time in my crate I never chew or Pee or poop except outside. I give licks and kisses and delight in receiving them back I also have my own personal trainer her name is Gina. Gina taught me to stop jumping up when I meet people, I guess it's because I am so excited for human contact but I know to sit and stay now I am waiting for someone to give me a chance to show how special I am. I am tired of the shelter, I know an anonymous donor has already paid for my adoption fee and my Foster mom will give $150 for that expenses please come and see me!

Plant A Pollinator Garden

March 30, 2016

13

By Melinda Myers

Whether planting a garden, enjoying the beauty of your landscape or sitting down to a delicious meal, you have bees, butterflies and other pollinators to thank. These essential members of our ecosystem are responsible for much of the food and beauty we enjoy each day.

Unfortunately pesticides and habitat loss are threatening their existence. There is something you can do to help. Turn your garden, backyard, or balcony into a pollinator’s habitat.

Plant a variety of flowering plants that provide nectar and pollen throughout the season.

Planting masses of natives, herbs and other pollinator favorites like sedum, zinnias, alyssum, cosmos, and columbine will attract these beauties to your landscape. Include a variety of day and night blooming flowers in a variety of colors and shapes to support the widest range of pollinators. But don’t let a lack of space dissuade you; even a window box of flowers can help.

Keep your plants healthy and

KM blooming with proper care. Match the plants to the growing conditions, provide needed water, and fertilize with an organic nitrogen fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com) when needed. You’ll promote slow steady plant growth that is less susceptible to drought and pests.

Plus the slow release low nitrogen won’t interfere with flowering, which is essential to the health and well being of our pollinators.

Supplement pollinators’ diets with a bit of rotten fruit. And be sure to provide trees, shrubs, parsley, dill and other plants that caterpillars, grubs and the immature stage of other pollinators prefer to feed upon. Put away the pesticides and tolerate a few holes in the leaves of their favorite plants.

Fleming Forwards Farmer Inclusion What, no farmers? Formed in 1970, the Suffolk County Planning Commission includes representation from environmental organizations, organized labor, and experts in transportation, workforce housing and municipal planning.

The list of stakeholders is mandated by the county charter.

This week South Fork Legislator Bridget Fleming announced legislation designed to add ag into the mix. She’s looking to amend the charter to require the commission include at least one member with background or expertise in agriculture, Independent/ Courtesy Bridget Fleming and at least one member Legislator Fleming meets with Carl Gabrielsen of be representative of the Gabrielsen Farms to discuss the concerns of the business community.

“Agriculture has always agricultural industry. been a vital piece of Suffolk County’s identity. The agricultural industry is both an economic driver and a source of pride, especially on the East End,” she said, announcing the measure. “It is critically important that we have a mechanism in place to protect our farms County-wide as we make development plans for the future.” The Peconic Land Trust and the Long Island Farm Bureau both submitted written statements to the whole legislature in support of Fleming’s resolution.

The Suffolk County Planning Commission eyes development from a regional standpoint. Its members reviews site plans and zoning actions meeting certain jurisdictional requirements and make land use and planning policy recommendations to the county’s towns and villages.

With a diversity of plants you can easily overlook the temporary leaf damage. Plus, this is a small price to pay for all the benefits they bring to the garden.

Provide pollinators with shelter from predators and the weather.

Hone In To HomeX

Herman said he saw the need to help locals out. By visiting his website, property owners can start the registration process with just a few clicks.

Via Herman’s efforts, HomeX will have a professional home inspector look over the property, verify and notarize the necessary registration forms, check off all the codes (we all know the drill, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, alarms, pool gates), and file the paperwork with the town. “HomeX streamlines the rental registration process for homeowners, real estate agents, and rental companies,� according to the website, providing “a turnkey solution to a painstaking and timeconsuming process at very little cost to the homeowner.�

Those who already have a certificate of occupancy and are already in compliance with town building and safety laws, may choose “standard� when registering through the website. It costs $300 and is inclusive of town fees for two years. Not sure of the information required for the home? Choose “premium� and set up an appointment with the company’s in-house inspector or architect. Premium is $650 and is

also inclusive of town fees for two years.

Turnaround is usually between two and three weeks.

While the registry was implemented a little over a month ago town officials are giving potential landlords until May 1 to comply. After that, the requirements outlined in the legislation will be enforced and those renting unregistered properties will be subject to fines of up to $15,000, or potential jail time.

For Herman, launching the website seemed like a no-brainer. “I have a vested interest in public policy,� he said. “It’s a fun project for me. I saw a reason for the law and saw a lot of locals upset about the law.�

THIS WEEK IN INDY The Jam That Wouldn’t Die

www.indyeastend.com

March 30, 2016

Insight

15

There was a time, not terribly long ago, when savvy South Forkers knew when to travel, when a trip upwest or a trip here might be less painful. A Tuesday afternoon, a Wednesday morning and it was clear sailing in both directions. Thursdays could be tricky, but you could still find a window. Fridays and Saturdays heading east was a no go; Sunday mornings heading west, a bad idea. Mondays, east was okay, west could be slow. Drivers knew the drill, knew the backroads, could avoid congestion and were comforted in the knowledge that after Labor Day all the road pain would end.

Who knew those were the salad days?

Fast forward a decade or two to the present, and there’s no telling what kind of traffic one might face during most of the year. One accident on County Road 39, as happened last week, could back eastbound cars up all the way to Westhampton, sending westbound traffic up into the golf course detour, a labyrinth of residential side streets.

This week, kudos go to Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman for taking the wheel and making an effort to ameliorate morning rush congestion on County Road 39, with the flashing lights pilot project we discuss in our cover story.

This isn’t Schneiderman’s first rodeo. At The Independent office, we recall a Friday afternoon years back pouring over the then-county executive’s 2005 capital project plan with the then-legislator. We discovered Steve Levy’s document postponed adding a lane to CR39, pushing it back for years. No one in town government knew of the plan.

A full court press at the local level ensued and the success of the “cops & cones” pilot project turned up the heat. A $70 million, multiyear project was reworked and revised and additional lanes were created.

Relief was short-lived and now Schneiderman’s back at a drawing board looking for a new answer to a problem that every year seems to worsen. His out-of-the-box vision sounds exciting, but could take years to realize.

In the meantime, personal jetpacks, anyone?

state races. His un-American campaign of political violence and hooliganism is reminiscent of 20th century Nazi and Communist dictators.

In the Republican primaries Trump is averaging 35% of the vote. If Trump was up against one other candidate, polls show he might get another 10% of the vote. History reveals primary candidates receiving less than 50% of the vote will lose the election for President.

The U.S. electorate comprises 26% Republicans, 30% Democrats, and 44% Independents. Polls show Trump garnering 70% of the Republican vote, or 18% (30% voting other); 5% of the Democratic vote, or 1.5%; and 40% of the Independent vote, or 18%, giving him 37.5% of the total vote.

Clinton will receive few Republican votes; 95% of the Democratic vote, or 28.5%; and 60% of the Independent vote, or 26%. This gives Clinton 54.5% of the total vote, Trump 37.5%, and the remaining 8% are write-ins or blank ballots.

It is a Trump Wrecking Ball. The integrity of the Republican Party and the dignity of the presidency is at stake.

Has the extra hour of daylight affected you?

Herme Barbagallo Oh, I absolutely noticed it. It doesn’t really affect me like some people. I don’t get depressed in the winter when it gets dark so early. But there’s no denying that it’s nice when it’s seven at night and it’s still light. And there’s no denying, this winter we got off easy.

Georgia DiNardo When the clock first changed I was getting up at 6 AM and was extremely tired. I had a hard time waking up for a few days when the time changed. But now the days feel longer, in a good way, and there’s more sunlight at the end of the day. That definitely feels good.

Mike DiNardo I felt the effect of it from the end of December when you get a minute more of light as every day goes by. I’m sensitive to light and those short winter days really affect me. So getting that full hour of daylight savings time was like a big bonus.

Justice Anderson It makes me feel happy that at least it’s not dark so early anymore. And I like to visit the beach every day, so when I go later in the day, it’s much lighter than it was just a short while ago.

FANTASY SP

By Skippy Brown

RTS

Move Up To Get The Best Players Millions of baseball fanatics all over the world will be drafting their fantasy teams in the coming days. If you want to win, it is essential you don’t “pay retail” for every good player on your roster. You must find some diamonds in the rough to survive.

Theoretically, a draft is designed so all of the teams in it come away with the same amount of raw talent.

Let’s take a 12 team league with a snake draft: that means the team that picks first in round one picks last in round two and so on. If each team selected the next player in the queue and every player performed exactly as he did the previous season, all of the teams would end up with about the same amount of points.

Of course, this could never happen – player’s stats fluctuate from year to year. But one thing is certain: a Player’s ADP (Average Draft Position) is not an absolute.

It can fluctuate wildly according to circumstances.

Let’s take Trevor Story, the Rockies shortstop. Two months ago he wasn’t even on the list – he was

slated to begin the season in the minor leagues. Then the veteran shortstop Jose Reyes was charged with spousal abuse: Story moved up to the top 600 players. Then Story began hitting the hell out of the ball in spring training: he moved up to 400. Then the Rockies announced they would suspend Reyes until after his trial. Still, Story was ranked number 238 Sunday when I drafted him, the 21st shortstop taken.

I pounced in Round 15 and got him at number 182. Why? First, MLB has adopted a strict new policy about spousal abuse, which means Reyes faces a lengthy suspension.

Second, Reyes is pleading innocent, and his trial hasn’t even started yet. Mostly though, Story plays in Colorado, a hitters’ paradise, and he is mashing the ball.

There are many more bargains out there. Drew Storen was one of the best closers in baseball last season until the Nationals stupidly traded him for Jonathan Pappelbon.

This year they traded Storen to Toronto. The Blue Jays had a good closer, but he was 19 years old.

Nevertheless, Storen was listed as

his back up. I got him in the 23 round a few weeks back, Guess what – he’s now the Toronto closer and a top 150 pick.

As a general rule young guys are underrated. Luis Severino was the Yankees’ best pitcher during the second half of last year; he is rated number 242 (20th round) this year, the 64th starting pitcher. Take him a couple rounds earlier. Steven Matz, the Mets’ pitcher, is ranked number 164. He’s better than that: move him up. Ditto Raul Iglesias.

One cardinal rule: NEVER go on autodraft and let the system pick for you. That’s because ADP is a cumulative stat: it takes into account every single draft. That means if a player breaks his leg tomorrow and is out for the season he will maintain a good ADP though

it will gradually fall. It also means if you are on autodraft you’ll get stuck with him while everyone else is avoiding him.

Now is the time when major league teams make their final cuts and pick the 25 players who will be on the opening day roster. Some veterans will get cut; some rookies will earn starting jobs. Adjust accordingly.

Don’t go crazy with minor leaguers; it’s okay to take one or two at the end of the draft provided the player is really, really good and major league ready – that is, has played in at least the AA minor league level and is mature enough to handle the big time. One such player is Jose Berrios of the Twins, who I believe will be pitching in the majors within a month or so.

morning rush. Most of the South Fork’s workforce lives west of the Shinnecock Canal, Schneiderman observed. Some 82 percent of Southampton Town employees travel to work from west of the canal, some coming from as far away as Port Jefferson, Huntington, and Northport. That’s just town workers.

The blinking light pilot program will cost the town approximately $6000 to cover the cost of additional Southampton Town Police assistance in implementing the program and assuring motorist s a f e t y. T h e S u f f o l k C o u n t y Department of Public Works will assume other costs associated with the pilot program.

may see a lot more action. The US Open is taking place at Shinnecock Hills in 2018. Southampton Hospital is moving to the LIU campus and an effort is underway to entice more students to the school.

Consideration is being given to re-opening the train station. “I want to prepare for a time when that intersection is even busier,“ Schneiderman said. “An underpass could handle movements quickly and safely.”

The supervisor believes as many as 10,000 vehicles travel through that intersection during peak
