Art Students For A Day

By Kitty Merrill

A l l a n a n d To t m o v e d t o Southampton when she became ill.

It was their first time visiting the Parrish Art Museum in Watermill, and, as it turned out, the first time since her infirmity that Tot, a pastel artist, picked up the implements of her craft, and drew.

It was Connie’s fourth time at the Parrish participating in the Paint at the Parrish program. During her initial visit last March, she was hesitant. Last Wednesday her eyes sparkled as she asked for colored pencils and methodically drew sailboats, using glue to create sails out of sandpaper.

Fashioned after the Meet Me at MOMA program designed for people with Alzheimer’s Disease, Paint at the Parrish is a collaboration between the Parrish and the Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center. Each month since March, patients and their caregivers have been art students for a day, touring the museum, learning about selected works, then creating their own art based on a specific painter or exhibition. Paint at the

Parrish started with just 15 people and on Wednesday was up to 30 participants from all over Suffolk County.

“Students” were separated into three groups. As one toured the exhibits, another group worked in the classroom, while a third listened to a lecture by the docent.

The benefits of the program are plentiful. It offers caregivers and patients alike a stimulating outing, relieving caregivers of the burden of conjuring activities for their loved ones and providing a measure of respite. For the patients, art projects provide a sense of accomplishment and purpose as well as an outlet for self expression.

A study from New York University and the Museum of Modern Art evaluated the Meet Me at MOMA program to assess how viewing and engaging in making artwork effects people with early-stage dementia. The results revealed fewer emotional problems during the week following a visit to the museum program, along with elevations in mood, an increase in social support, and increased self-

Experts agree the arts have a therapeutic effect on people with Alzheimer’s disease or other age-related disabilities.

esteem.

In a December, 2014, article in the Washington Post, author Fredrick Kunkle noted, “As the nation’s median age rises and baby boomers retire, the federal government, universities and health-care institutions are seeking to determine whether the arts have a quantifiably therapeutic effect on people with Alzheimer’s disease or other age-related disabilities.

“Many researchers agree evidence seems promising that the arts can improve cognitive function and memory, bolster a person’s mood and sense of well-being, and reduce stress, agitation and aggression.”

Back in the classroom, Tot’s attention wandered periodically, but with gentle coaxing from her caregiver, she would return to the paper and draw. Eventually, she became so involved with creating art that the pair stayed after class so she could complete a vivid drawing inspired by the works of American Abstract Expressionist Perle Fine.

Meanwhile, Connie admitted she didn’t want to make the art the first time she attended the program. By her fourth visit, she said, “I love it. I discovered doing things I don’t even try to do at home.”

And that’s a goal of the program.

THE FLYING EGG SANDWICH Lots of people love Jerry’s traditional Christmas Eve column, and his annual essay exposing the Della Femina curse. He’s busy moving his offices, sans computer and sick, so I chose my personal favorite for this week. K.M. This is a column I wrote many years ago. It’s so old that it goes back to a wonderful time when no one passed Manorville, NY, coming from or going to the Hamptons without a stop at Grace’s, the world’s greatest hot dog joint.

Every word is true and every time I read it I get the chills and I start to giggle.

I’m repeating it here today because I’m burnt out.

Also, I have OD’d on my linguini with clam sauce, which is so good it has the power to cloud men’s minds.

So read about and enjoy the flying egg sandwich, which was one of the most frightening incidents in my life.

My week culminated this past Monday with my “flying egg sandwich” trick, which I performed

on the Long Island Expressway. No one has called me worse names than the unidentified driver (and his companion) of a red Honda Accord on Monday morning.

It was a scene right out of a Woody Allen movie. I left my house at 6:30 AM and headed for New York City. It was a toss-up as to which was foggier, the road or me.

Although it was damp and chilly, I opted to drive with the top down on my convertible. I got to Grace’s in Manorville and bought myself a cup of steaming hot coffee and then spotted a sign for a fried egg sandwich. I couldn’t remember ever eating a fried egg sandwich before in my life, but being a sucker for advertising, I decided to buy one.

I jumped in the car and turned onto I-495. Now, there’s a stretch where you can really move on the LIE, between exits 70 and 69. So I was doing about 75, maybe 80.

There was no one in front of me and only a red Honda in my lane following closely on my tail. I took a bite of the egg sandwich and tried to reach for the hot coffee with my other hand and steer with my elbows.

What I succeeded in doing was to drop the whole cup of scalding hot coffee on my crotch. I let out a scream and must have tried to put the sandwich on the dashboard. I held it up and let go and all I know is the wind picked up my sandwich and it shot out of my car like a missile, hitting the car behind me with a splat.

It was sort of a culinary drive-by shooting.

IN THE NEWS

Now the two mean-looking muscular guys who were driving to work in the Accord had tattoos on their bare arms depicting things that I have nightmares about. (Note: These tattoos were frightening then, but they’re just about the same type you see these days on the arms, chests and necks of your average 16-year-old girl.)

The two thugs in the Honda pulled their car into the lane next to me. One guy leaned out of the window and told me where he and his beefy friend planned to shove my egg sandwich. They were menacing me and kept swerving their car into my lane, trying to push me off the road. I was terrified.

I tried to gesture to them that I had burned myself so I kept pointing to my crotch, but they found it to be a provocative gesture, given where I was pointing. Finally I realized the insanity of my plight – here I was about to have the crap beaten out of me by these two giant thugs, and I’m directing them to my crotch – so I started to laugh.

The two guys in the Honda, who could have taken me apart, looked at me laughing and pointing to my crotch and decided I was insane. I kept pointing and laughing. They looked at each other. Looked again at me and decided I was a psycho.

They got scared; they rolled up their windows, quickly changed lanes and drove off.

I did a lot of thinking about luck and God on the rest of the drive.

To Evict The Food Pantry?

By Kitty Merrill

Members of the East Hampton Food Pantry Board of Trustees are still stunned. Late last month they received a terse communiqué from the Board of Directors at Windmill Village, LLC evicting them from the space they’ve used to feed East Hampton’s hungry for 12 years.

Opening one day a week in East Hampton and serving hundreds of local needy each week, the food pantry operates out of the community building at Windmill Village II senior housing complex.

About 60 seniors from the Windmill complexes are clients of the food pantry, which last year provided food for 10,697 households and 27,426 individual meals. Between 300 and 500 meals each month are distributed to seniors alone.

Pantry volunteers hand out the food in the center’s first floor kitchen for four hours each Tuesday.

Half the community center’s basement was renovated by a local builder to accommodate shelves for storage. Windmill officials designed and approved the basement reno.

The other half of the space is used

by Windmill for storage. It’s not ADA compliant or accessible for uses other than storage.

According to pantr y board member Eric Brown, “When we’re doing food distribution, it takes up space. Then it ends.” Food Pantry Board President Vicki Littman works out of a closet at the community hall.

www.indyeastend.com

This week, Littman released a statement offering, “The Food Pantry Board is completely shocked and dismayed to have received a letter from the Windmill Board stating that the food pantry is being evicted as of December 31, 2016.”

The food pantry board has asked to meet with Windmill counterparts this week to discuss the matter.

Littman’s statement continued, “At this moment we have no idea where we could possibly relocate to, but we want all our clients and the community to know that we are committed to the children, seniors, and families that rely on us to make ends meet each week.”

Sharon Bacon is on both the Windmill and Food Pantry Boards.

She said Windmill wouldn’t comment on the situation until after the meeting.

Pat Knight, a Windmill resident, would. A volunteer at the pantry, she launched a petition looking to keep it on premise and offered several examples to underscore the need to keep the pantry in its current location. Knight knows one woman who picks up food for five elderly residents who are homebound. “What are they going to do?” she asked.

Knight has also met aides who work taking care of clients at

June 15, 2016

Windmill and St. Michael’s Senior Housing in Amagansett. The clients need 24 hour care, and the aides need food. They’re able to pick up food quickly at the central location.

“What if they have to go somewhere else?” she asked. The aides can’t leave their patients that long.

With Windmill officials remaining mum, the rumor mill has been buzzing. Some say the landlords want to turn the food pantry space into a gym. “Those people can’t use that,” Knight said, adding that eviction of the food pantry would be “a tremendous disservice to the tenants of both Windmill and St. Michael’s.

Still, Knight emphasized that no one has notified the senior housing residents about the future of the pantry. “They have not announced anything to the tenants they are ostensibly there to serve.”

Indy Fit: In A Spin, Lovin The Spin I’m In

By Kitty Merrill

My coccyx is killing me. My buttocks are ablaze. But it’s productive pain, the kind of ache that says, “You worked hard and if you keep it up, you’ll get strong.”

The fanny fire’s the byproduct of Sunday’s 50-minute spin class at the YMCA RECenter in East Hampton.

Phyllis Sullivan teaches the classes at the Y. One day she was working out at the facility when the regular cycling instructor didn’t show. At the request of a fellow exerciser – with no music, no prep – she led that morning’s class . . .

“And the rest is history,” she joked before class.

Taking the helm wasn’t a big stretch for Sullivan; she’s been teaching spin locally for 15 years and led classes at studios all over the East End. At the Y, classes diverge from others in the area. There’s no mirrors, no whoopdidoo lighting, no hardbody hipsters in $200 Lululemon workout fashion, no computerized competition and best of all, no fancy schmancy pricetag.

The bikes line up on the spacious

ce n te r’ s u p p e r l e vel a nd o n Sunday morning the clientele was predominantly middle-aged.

That doesn’t mean the class was designed for AARP cardholders, though. (I was likely the only student who got winded just tucking the laces into my sneakers before climbing aboard a bike.)

The session was 50 minutes of high intensity interval sprints and heavy resistance hill climbing with a somewhat brutal section devoted to upper body work with weights – pushups while pedaling call for lots of coordination.

Key to Sullivan’s success as a motivator is the carefully-chosen set list, geared toward inspiring and energizing.

While admitting he was a “weights” guy, executive director Glen Vickers said Sullivan’s music “Pulls you in. You walk in and you feel the energy.”

It was walk in, hobble out for me on Sunday. Fifty minutes sped past faster than imagined, even if there were moments when I couldn’t keep up. It didn’t matter, thanks to Sullivan’s “do what you can”

The author with spin class instructor Phyllis Sullivan (left) smiling before the workout at the YMCA RECenter.

philosophy. She challenges. She pushes and prods, but you’re not going to leave class injured.

I’ve taken spin classes in the past and was an ardent student at B-East in Amagansett before it closed down. The coolest part of the fitness method? It’s got a fast tracked improvement curve. What you can’t do at your first class, you can at your second – if you can just get past your burning buns. It does take a while to “find your seat.”

After that, it’s all downhill, and uphill, too.

I haven’t found my seat yet. So, for now, my coccyx is killing me. My buttocks are ablaze.

And I’m going back for the Wednesday class.

Sullivan teaches spin class at the YMCA RECenter Sundays (9:30 AM), Wednesdays (7:30 AM), Thursdays (5:30 PM), and Fridays (8:30 AM).

Master Class With Rosenblatt On Tap T h e S o u t h a m p t o n Wr i t e r s Conference at Stony Brook Southampton will once again offer a Master Class led by best-selling author Roger Rosenblatt and featuring esteemed guest writers during this year’s event, running from July 6 to 16, 2016.

“Imagine What You Know: Five Ways of Looking at Writing” is a groundbreaking approach to examining the art and craft of writing for every genre, using a multi-media array of music, film clips, and other works of art to broaden and deepen the discussion. The class was designed

by Rosenblatt to be as useful for accomplished writers as it is for those taking their first steps or simply exploring the idea of writing.

All those who sign up for the Master Class will have access to everything that is offered during the 10-day conference -- evening salons, guest author readings, panel discussions and more -- with the only exception being graduate credit-bearing workshops.

In an effort to encourage broader participation by East End residents and seasonal visitors, the Writers Conference is offering a locals’ discount of $100 off the standard $975 fee for the Master Class. For more information, or to apply, visit www.stonybrook. edu/writers or email Christian.

McLean@stonybrook.edu.

The deadline for obtaining the discount is Monday; applicants should use the code locl (local without the a) when applying to get the discount.

Noting that he appropriated the title of the Master Class from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s “A Defence of Poetry,” Rosenblatt describes imagination as “looking at life as it is, and seeing it differently.”

This year’s five topics, or “ways of looking at writing,” will be: Imagination, with guest Jane Hamilton; Consequence, with poet Martin Espada; Originality, w i t h n o v e l i s t M e g Wo l i t z e r ; Invisibilities, or what you cannot see in writing, with poet Mark Doty; and Inspiration, with Lauren Groff.

Each two-and-a-half-hour session is divided into thirds. In the first part, Rosenblatt discusses the day’s topic, linking brief assigned readings, recordings,

film clips, and other media. In the second section, he talks with that day’s guest, who is always introduced with a song chosen by Rosenblatt.

In the final third of each day’s class, Rosenblatt gives the group a prompt for 10 or 15 minutes of writing, and then leads the entire class in finding what is best and most useful about what each student writes.

“This is a way of looking at writing that’s not being done,” Rosenblatt says. “Rather than being helpful to writers as they’re trying to write or are writing, this new format is intended to be helpful to writers when they’re not writing. The hope is it can help them to look at the world as writers.”

The Master Class earned high marks from participants in last year’s inaugural offering.

Students said the class was inspiring and fun, calling it “w o n d e r f u l , ” “ i n s i g h t f u l , ” “amazing.” One novelist wrote: “He put the most positive spin possible on each class member’s remarks as he listened with extraordinary intensity. His class still lingers in my head.”

Another wrote: “Roger taught me more in five sessions than I had learned in numerous semesterlong writing classes.”

Southampton Town-wide line striping of the roads -- painting the white and yellow lines -- began on Monday . . . ‘cause we know how much our highway superintendent likes to do roadwork during the season.

Two crews will work, with one beginning in Eastport heading east and another will begin in Hampton Bays heading west. When the two crews meet, they’ll all hug and kiss and enjoy paint-splattered happiness.

Just kidding.

When they meet up, the whole convoy will head to eastern districts of Southampton Town, as no area should be spared annoyance on the roadways during the summertime.

Weather permitting, it should all be finished by Thursday. But, seriously, is it ever finished? Surely Superintendent Gregor has more fun in store for beleaguered drivers this summer.

His press release asks drivers to avoid passing the paint caravans as they spray at 18 miles per hour on “anything that moves.” There will be cones placed on the fresh paint and Mr. Gregor suggests taking alternate routes.

Beach Style Boutique Located at 30 Main Street in East Hampton, Vilebrequin will unveil a sophisticated 315 sq. ft. boutique inspired by the brand’s Beach Cabin design concept. Influenced by the brand’s relaxed beach style, the boutique embodies the spirit of The Hamptons with a palette of white and blue summery hues.

The East Hampton location joins the existing Southampton Vilebrequin boutique that opened 16 years ago. The new store arrives as Vilebrequin celebrates 20 years of matching father and son swim suits, which has also been extended to matching mother and daughter collections.

The New Set Point Tennis Martin Architects PC announced that its newest project, Set Point Tennis, in East Hampton opened on May 28 to launch the summer sports season in the East End. Giving the 1000 square foot Main Street space a fresh minimalist, clean look, Martin Architects has transformed the East Hampton space into a high-end, chic clothing and gear gallery for tennis enthusiasts of all ages.

“After seeing our work at Wölffer Kitchen in Sag Harbor and Orolgold in East Hampton, Set Point Tennis owner Lisa Herbert approached me with the goal of transforming her store with a sophisticated modern new look by Memorial Day,” says Nick Martin, AIA of Martin Architects PC and 4MA Building LLC. “After four short months, the end result is an inviting, fun tennis cultural center meets high end boutique space showcasing a curated selection of top-of-the-line Tennis Racquets, Sneakers, Apparel and Accessories.”

Martin, an avid tennis player, structured the design target to create a healthy lifestyle center for tennis athletes in the fabric of a well laid-out minimalist framework. A pattern of rich woodwork is accented with an austere background of subtle tones of lighting, geometries and color.

Playful Moooi Random Lights span the store’s horizon and the unique custom cabinetry organizes the space, while the Stringing Lab adds an educational component to the shopper’s experience. Shoppers can watch rackets being strung throughout the day or a match playing on the TV. Set Point Tennis will be open seven days a week from 9 AM to 6 PM.

they multiply.

Strawberries. There might be time before the berries ripen to go to a horse farm and get a small amount of straw. Place the straw around the plants so that the berries lie on straw and ripen. This makes the fruit both attractive and inviting.

Just enjoy the hostas, astilbe, ferns, day lilies and irises. They

need no attention.

If you have an electric gate put ant powder around the box and around any infrared sensors. I learned this through sad experience.

Meet avid gardener Shelly Tashman of Springs, one of Indy’s guest garden experts.

Hi, I’m Shelly, It’s June. I’m excited. I love gardening. Spring is over and big stuff is about to happen. Let’s get dirty.

It’s close to the end of the time that a lot of plants can be moved safely. If the daisies, astilbe, etc. have overwhelmed their spot, move them with some caution. Dig a bigger hole so you can be extra careful of the roots going and coming. Water immediately and again on day one and two. Staking the transplants can make a difference.

I have to fight myself to resist moving plants when the timing is not right. I don’t always win the fight, but I am always sorry.

Roses are doing their magnificent thing in abundance. Deadhead a lot.

After first blooming, trim back, clear wood touching or obstructing air flow.

Rhododendrons are fading. Keep them looking good by taking off the dead or dying blossoms. Don’t go fast. Identify the emerging new leaf first.

Sedum are getting big and look great. Stake them now before they fold over. You can do it after they fall

Riverhead was selected as the location because they are on all major public transportation lines and have a high English language learner population. It is their hope that many families will take advantage of this opportunity to hear Keynote Speaker, Dr. Harold Fernandez, who was featured in the film, undocumented, and participate in workshops of their choice.

Two First Responder vehicles, staffed with a Stony Brook paramedic, enhance the service of local fire departments in Greenport, East Marion, Orient, Mattituck, Cutchogue and Southold.

New EMS Vehicle Stony Brook Medicine is expanding its clinical relationship and service to the North Fork of Long Island on the heels of the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees’ approval of the affiliation between Stony Brook University Hospital and Eastern Long Island Hospital earlier this month.

Cindy Swiskey of Southold was awarded Nurse of the Year.

The most recent development in Stony Brook’s deepening relationship and commitment to the North Fork comes in the form of a second Emergency Medical Services (EMS) First Responder vehicle and dedicated full-time paramedic staffing to supplement the community’s volunteer corps.

The new EMS vehicle began operating in the Greenport, East Marion and Orient communities on May 23, providing greater emergency care coverage to those areas. The communities of Mattituck, Cutchogue, and Southold are covered by another First Responder vehicle provided by Stony Brook since last February.

“We are pleased to offer this latest expansion of service to the North Fork of Long Island and look forward to formalizing our relationship with Eastern Long Island Hospital as we continue to work through the requisite state approvals,” said Reuven Pasternak, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Stony Brook University Hospital, and Vice President for Health Systems, Stony Brook Medicine.

“This affiliation will help create a health care delivery system that will better facilitate the medical needs of Long Islanders, with access to primary and specialty services on the North Fork through an integrated system that provides a full continuum of care.”

“The Stony Brook First Responders will add an enhanced level of emergency response to our existing 911 medical emergency system,” said CONTINUED ON PAGE 15.

The exhibition, “School Girls and their Samplers”, will open at the Southold Historical Society on July 9.

Samplers from the society’s collection will be displayed.

To tell the story of a sampler, a “curator” takes a look at the needlework with a critical eye. What stitches did the girl use? What design did she select? What border did she create? How well did she do her stitching? How well did she stitch her poem?

Take some time to sit down with a sampler or two, and see what needlework girls did almost 200 years ago. Your discoveries and reflections on the samplers will be included in the exhibition.

Nurse of the Year Cindy Swiskey, RN, a nurse at Eastern Long Island Hospital, has been selected to receive the prestigious “Laura Goodale Nurse of the Year Award” for 2016. Cindy will be presented with the award at a dinner held in her honor at the Soundview Restaurant in Greenport on Tuesday, June 21 from 6 PM to 9 PM. The Laura Goodale award, established in 1986 by lifelong Eastern Long Island Hospital supporter Carl E. Vail Sr. and the Rotary Clubs of Southold and Greenport, is given in the spirit of Laura Goodale. Goodale was a former Eastern Long Island Hospital nurse with a 42 year service record that was so extraordinary, it won her recognition as the ‘Florence Nightingale’ of the North Fork.

Each Rotary Club will make a contribution to Eastern Long Island Hospital as a tribute to Cindy for her dedication and commitment to the nursing profession.

Cindy, who resides in Southold, has been at Eastern Long Island Hospital for 23 years. “As a nurse for Quannacut Addiction Services, Cindy is a highly specialized nurse,” states Dr. Patricia Pispisa, Vice President Patient Care Services.

“Addiction nurses monitor patient progress and administer medications during their hospital stay. Well-educated in the recovery process, Cindy provides support, both emotionally and physically for patients undergoing treatment.

She helps addicted patients understand the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy lifestyle and gives resources for remaining drug and alcohol free after discharge.”

Tickets to the dinner are $35 per person with a cash bar. Reservations are required by June 17, call Community Relations to make your reservation, 631-477-5164.

The Don: Who Despises Him More?

By Rick Murphy

Two congressional candidates locked into a fierce primary battle are trying to trump each other – by distancing themselves from the controversial presumed Republican Presidential candidate, Donald

Trump.

Anna Throne-Holst and Dave Calone are vying for the Democratic Party nomination and the right to face Republican incumbent Congressman Lee Zeldin.

Throne-Holst and Calone,

predictably, are bashing Trump for his controversial remarks, which many feel are racist.

They are bashing Zeldin for being a Trump supporter.

And they are bashing each other for injecting Trump into their race.

Throne-Holst was outraged to hear a television ad for Calone that attempted to link her to the billionaire builder/developer.

replied, “Not much – just about to smoke out this bong.” He was taken into custody.

Better Make That To Go A motorcyclist, pulled over on Main Street by East Hampton Village Police, ran his bike up onto the sidewalk and alley near the Blue Parrot shortly after midnight Sunday morning.

Arnold Rivas-Ovalle, 20, was hit with an aggravated driving while intoxicated charge, a felony, as well as several related charges.

He was also driving without a license, without a valid windshield, and without a helmet. It is also a violation to drive a motorcycle on the sidewalk. He was held for arraignment and is scheduled to appear in court July 7.

Fatal Kayakers Four people who went kayaking in Connecticut Sunday fell prey to a strong current and winds that drove them offshore. Early this morning several Orient residents heard cries for help. Southold Town Police responded and found Delfina Reynoso, 26, her 8-year-old daughter exhausted but alive on the beach at about 4 AM. Two other men were still missing, and police, emergency personnel, the U.S. Coast Guard and volunteers mounted a search. The body of Abdias Ventura of Hartford, 30, was found nearby. The body of the fourth victim, identified as Ferdinand Lagos, 39, was found on Monday afternoon near the Connecticut River.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-1.

Conservative Party three times, the same extreme party that has advocated for backward policies and supports Donald Trump for President,” Calone charged.

“The people of Suffolk County deserve better than Dave Calone’s desperate and untruthful attacks. His disingenuous attempts to accuse me of supporting Donald Trump would be laughable if they weren’t so offensive,” Throne-Holst responded. “This is what people do when they are down in the polls and desperate.”

According to Suffolk Board of Elections Throne-Holst donated a total of $525 between 2011 and 2013 to the Conservative Party.

Throne-Holst reportedly expressed an interest in the Conservative Party nomination at one point in 2013 after the Southampton branch of the party balked at endorsing Linda Kabot, a Republican and Throne-Holst’s longtime rival.

“I attended a couple of Conservative Party events in my capacity as [Southampton] Town Supervisor,” Throne-Holst said.

“Given my long record on human rights and my dislike and disdain for Trump this is laughable.”

The latest maelstrom over Trump’s remarks has drawn fire from politicians from both parties.

“He’s Mexican,” Trump said last week about the judge hearing a civil fraud case against Trump University.

“We’re building a wall between here and Mexico.” He went on to conclude he wouldn’t get a fair trial because of the judge’s heritage.

Though many Republicans condemned Trump for his remarks, Zeldin, an ardent supporter, defended him. That put him in the cross hairs of Throne-Holst and Calone.

“Donald Trump’s recent racist comments about Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel were shockingly

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

un-American and wrong, and Zeldin not only defended Trump but also went one step further, calling President Obama a racist,” Calone said. “This is absurd and reveals Zeldin’s true priorities. He is committed only to himself and the radical right,” he added.

Throne-Holst took it a step furth e r. Aft er Ze ld i n c a lled President Obama a racist, she held a rally at his office, demanding Zeldin apologize.

Calone has been chipping away at the fact Throne-Holst only recently registered as a Democrat, though she has been that party’s nominee in all three of her town supervisor races as well as when she ran (and won) a town board seat. He bills himself as, “A lifelong Democrat who has fought to protect our environment and has been a leader on campaign finance reform.”

“My track record as a strong progressive who has championed Democratic values is indisputable,” Throne-Holst, countered. “I have run and won four campaigns on the Democratic line by 60/40 margins -- and have always run positive campaigns focused on the issues important to voters.”

Zeldin, for his part, backed off a bit from Trump after outrage grew over Trump’s remarks, stating, “There’s more than just words to define a person and, by the way, aside from words, there’s a whole lot more to define everyone.”

The Democratic primary is set for June 28, and whoever wins will engage Zeldin in what is expected to be one of the most hotly contested races in the nation. Zeldin stunned six-term incumbent Tim Bishop two years ago after winning from

PSEG Responds: Rates Have Stabilized, Service Is Better

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

By Rick Murphy

Independent / Rick Murphy

Last week we traced the history of Long Island electric companies from LILCO through PSEG, which handles the day-to-day business of providing electricity to Long Islanders. It is overseen

by LIPA, a quasi-municipal agency. Visit indyeastend.com to read last week’s articles. This week Elizabeth Flagler, a PSEG spokeswoman, responds to questions posed by The Independent.

INDY: Researching this article we found there is a tendency to paint LILCO/LIPA/National Grid and PSEG with the same brush, which is providing high rates and sketchy service. Is that fair?

Since PSEG began its aggressive tree-trimming program the system has been virtually free of blackouts, a spokeswoman said.

PSEG: PSEG was awarded a 12year contract to manage the Long Island Power Authority’s transmis-

sion and distribution system based on our history of best-in-class service in New Jersey.

PSEG Long Island is proud to continue a tradition of pursuing longterm rate stability while maintaining best-in-the-state overhead electrical reliability for Long Island and the Rockaways. Federal data show the kind of progress we have made in partnership with LIPA: Our average rates are as much as 30 percent lower than those five other major electrical utilities that serve the region.

Natural gas prices have contributed to the low overall rates we are enjoying today, but all electrical utilities in the region benefit from the state of the market. The overall trend tells a larger story: Electric rates on Long Island have risen less than 18 percent since 1997, while

IN THE NEWS

rates climbed as much as 96 percent elsewhere in the geographic region.

To date, PSEG Long Island provides 99.9 percent overall system reliability as a direct result of targeted replacement of transmission and distribution infrastructure, adding new technology to streamline work management processes, and incorporating more renewable energy and demand-side resources onto the grid.

PSEG Long Island has also continued to improve the customer service experience through technology advancements. In 2015, a new mobile site, My Account and MyAlerts service was launched.

My Account allows customers to do business with the utility from nearly anywhere without having to download an app. The new mobile site enables customers to report an outage and check the status of a current outage from their smart devices.

Through the MyAlerts service, customers have the option of signing up for several billing, account and outage alerts that can be sent to their email address or text-enabled device to keep informed about an outage.

PSEG Long Island has shown a marked improvement in overall customer satisfaction since taking over the management of the transmission and distribution system.

We value our customers and are committed to continually improving customer satisfaction.

INDY: Senator Ken LaValle, a PSEG critic, acknowledged that your tree trimming efforts and response teams have greatly reduced the number of power outages on the East End. Do your figures support that and is that a focus of the company?

PSEG: PSEG Long Island recognized that previous line clearance of six feet was not a utility best practice in maintaining reliability and service restoration in the event of an outage.

PSEG Long Island’s Tree Trimming program works throughout the year to identify and trim tree limbs in rights of way and along easements that could potentially cause outages during or after a storm.

Our goal is to create a larger buffer between the power lines and nearby trees and eliminate more potential outage threats. In 201415, as a direct result of its move to the industry best practice clearance standard, PSEG Long Island reduced the number of tree-related outages by approximately 60 percent on circuits that were trimmed.

We continue to focus on removing weak or “at risk” trees near power lines to reduce the hazard of the tree or tree limb falling on the electric system.

Former LTV Bookkeeper Responds

By Rick Murphy

At an East Hampton Town Board meeting last month Amy Salle, the former treasurer of the public access TV company LTV, was criticized in open session.

The meeting was held to discuss an audit by Nawrocki Smith LLP, made at the behest of the town.

The auditors were critical of LTV spending policies, and particularly of former Executive Director Seth Redlus. The report listed 19 recommendations designed to assure funds couldn’t be misappropriated.

Almost all of LTV’s budget comes from East Hampton Town.

LTV Executive Director Morgan Vaughan, who replaced Redlus, told the board she had trouble producing some documents requested by auditors because, “the former bookkeeper did not do a very good job,” a sentiment echoed by LTV Board President Jim Shelly a number of times in the past.

This week Salle, in an exclusive interview, lambasted Morgan and Shelly.

“With all due respect, I find

INDY: The business about “treated” poles . . . couldn’t the state simply outlaw the use of penta if lawmakers felt it could affect water quality? In other words, should PSEG be faulted for using a legal substance?

PSEG: The installation and use of wooden utility poles treated with the wood preservative penta is common and penta-treated wood poles continue to be the standard among utilities across the country.

Throughout the United States, there are more than 80 million wooden utility poles installed treated with penta.

Penta-treated poles have a long, proven track record for withstanding the elements. Utility poles are treated with preservatives so that

it comical that Morgan has such misplaced anger towards me but I really don’t care because frankly, this has nothing to do with me,” Salle commented.

Salle said Morgan wasn’t hired until a year after she left, so it would be impossible for her to assess her job performance.

“I did my job and I did it under Seth’s rules while he overran that place and acted like it was his playground with absolutely no supervision or repercussions for his actions.”

Redlus controlled the checkbook and the station’s credit card and “bought whatever he felt like” Salle said. Salle revealed she met with investigators from the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office, as did the auditors. The DA’s office did not return a request for comment.

Redlus was criticized in the audit for using the company credit card without oversight, making purchases without board approval and buying items over $5000 without permission from the town among other indiscretions.

“I worked at LTV for almost seven they can withstand the elements and last for decades.

Penta has been registered for use in utility poles by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, its predecessor, in implementing the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), for more than 60 years. The wood preservatives used to treat poles are registered by the EPA under FIFRA. PSEG Long Island installs poles that have been treated with penta by the manufacturer. PSEG Long Island does not apply penta to the poles, nor do we pour penta at the base of the poles that we install.

At PSEG Long Island, the health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority. PSEG Long Island adheres to industry best practices in our use of treated utility poles.

years and I did my job well and I am proud of how I did,” Salle said, “until I saw things that I questioned instead of going along with the program and not saying anything.

Seth did not like that. That is why I was fired.”

Salle said, and three board members confirmed, that although Shelly said he fired her he told the LTV board Salle had quit because the board was pleased with the job she was doing. Former Board President Robert Strada, who was ousted by a coup engineered by Shelly last year, confirmed that Salle’s job performance was never an issue up until she was fired in August 2015.

“I would also like to point out that if anyone saw the board meeting, the comments Morgan made about having to take 40 to 60 hours to find scanned documents is a complete joke,” Salle said. “The scanning system was not put into place until 2012 and everything was under the year and sub folders. I was told by Seth how he wanted things scanned and that’s exactly what I did.”

Salle suspects damaging documents were hidden from the auditors. “The fact is every document that was scanned was put in a box, labeled and locked in a closet.

Where did it all go?”

Southampton School District Hires Auditor

By Rick Murphy

Though no one is saying as much, the Southampton School Board apparently suspects some fiscal shenanigans occurred in its Special Education department.

On May 24 the board announced that Dr. Harmon Cohen, a retired special education administrator, was replacing Denise Merchant, the Director of Pupil Personnel Services, on an interim basis.

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

• Estate Planning • Real Estate Transactions • Litigation • • Business Formation & Planning • Traffic Violations • • Rental Registry Compliance •

On June 7 the board allocated $15,000 to pay for an audit of the Special Education department by the Islandia-based firm R.S. Abrams & Co. Merchant was in charge of the Special Education department.

I n t e r i m S u p e r i n t e n d e n t D r.

Nicholas Dyno acknowledged the audit would look into Special Ed finances.

Dyno replace former Superintendent Scott Farina, who was given a $3000,000 goodbye kiss to leave the district last month.

Once again the board hired the Garden City-based firm Jaspan Schlesinger LLP to provide attorney services to the district – the same firm hired to investigate Farina.

S t e v e n R . S c h l e s i n g e r, a managing partner of Jaspan Schlesinger LLP, has been accused on “mismanagement” by a Nassau County Court Judge who removed Schlesinger for “mismanagement” of foundation funds he was appointed to manage. At one point he, “took a $131,323 commission that [allegedly] belonged to the foundation,” according to court papers.

Southampton School District has hired auditors to delve into Special Ed department finances after an administrator was suspended.

Communication Group, a PR firm that represents the school district, said the school would not comment about Jaspan Schlesinger and whether it knew of the allegations against Steven R. Schlesinger when the firm was hired.

Some parents expressed concern about the money the district is paying administrators past and present. Merchant makes $155,000 and is still getting paid. Cohen makes $850 per diem, the most allowable under a NYS Dept. of Ed. waiver, which allows retired administrators to collect their full retirement in addition to the cash outlay.

Man Hangs Self In Woods A man found hanging in a wooded area behind the McDonalds in Hampton Bays Monday is reportedly a New York City Transit Officer.

Though Southampton Town Police have yet to confirm his identity, numerous NYC media outlets identified the dead man as Ronald Cleto.

Tabloid reports said Cleto was despondent and was on the run from police after an allegation that he sexually assaulted a 13-year old girl in Bushwick. Published reports said Cleto was apparently dating a relative of the girl’s and that he entered a bedroom at one point Saturday night.

Another newspaper account said the victim may have been the niece of the accused.

After the mother called 911 Cleto fled the city, though he apparently spoke to NYPD on the phone at one point. It was reported he was “contemplating suicide.”

The wooded area between Flanders Road and the McDonalds is known to be a homeless hangout where people routinely camp illegally.

RICK’S SPACE The Greatest As regular readers know, I’m not one for eulogies but Muhammad Ali holds a special place in my heart.

Yes, I valued him as a close friend.

And a lover.

I’m kidding, but I knew him well.

I’m still lying.

I met him once and got his autograph, though.

When I was a little kid I used to write, “Cassius Is Great And So Am I” all over the schoolyard walls at P.S. 92, my neighborhood hangout.

No, I didn’t write on the walls of St. Francis of Assisi, my real school, because I knew one of the nuns would beat me senseless if I did.

It all reached a crescendo when we had our P.S. 92 stickball tournament. It was a one-on-one affair – draw a box the size of the strike zone (one size fits all) on a wall, grab a Spaldeen and a broomstick, and go to work.

I won two or three games and got cocky – Cassius Clay cocky, resplendent with poems about how badly I would beat my next opponent, Joey Torterella. Suffice it to say after I lost 12-1, Torterella went around the schoolyard writing, “Cassius Is Great But You Ain’t.”

A few years later I was at Madison Square Garden for the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) indoor track finals. I was pretty fast, and I was entered in the 100-yard dash,

the 220, and the 4X100 and 4X220 relays. In those days you’d run a quarterfinal meet, a semifinal if you advanced, and then the finals if you made it -- in each category.

I would almost always win my quarterfinal, and then finish in the top four of the semifinal to get in the medal round. That meant 12 races. You would think we’d try to find time to rest, but boys being boys we’d race through Madison Square Garden, up and down the stairs and through the corridors like mad fools.

That’s when I saw him. A door opened and out stepped Ali. There was bedlam. He was quickly surrounded by hundreds of people.

You would think, given the Black Muslim furor, he’d be guarded, even reticent to embrace the crowd.

Instead, he stood there bantering with the little kids and signing autographs.

As is the case now, rude adults would push kids out of the way to grab as many autographs as they could.

I heard the loudspeaker announce the final meet of our 4X100 race was in five minutes.

I just kept pleading: “Please Ali, please Ali . . .“ Suddenly, he thrust a piece of paper in my hand. On it he scribbled “Mo Ali.” We did pretty good that day. I

think I got a second and third, but I barely looked at my medals – I kept staring at the autograph.

I carried it for years until someone stole my wallet from my locker during basketball practice (hey, it was Brooklyn!). It had a condom in it (don’t ask), my library card, my social security card, and a dollar for carfare. Brother Arthur gave me a buck to get home.

Years later I vowed to get a genuine Mo Ali autograph. I worked eBay for weeks until I finally scored one. I’m not going to say how much I paid for it because my wife is going to read this, but it was a lot.

It’s in my safe deposit box, right next to my Mickey Mantle 1956 card.

We lived and died with our idols.

When they bled, we bled. When they triumphed, we rejoiced. But Mantle, as much as I cherished him, was a ballplayer.

Ali’s message was a life lesson.

He stood up to George Foreman, but he stood up to the Military Industrial Complex and a corrupt regime that might well have had him killed. Yes, folks, that’s what they did in those days.

Howard Cosell was afraid George Foreman would beat Ali to death, literally. Watch the fight. Look at Ali’s face as the eighth round progresses. Suddenly he unleashes

a torrent of punches, the last of which, a straight right, finished off the six-five, 260-pound unbeaten monster thought to be invincible.

Look at all the anger, all the fierceness, the resolve on that face.

The disdain for all the doubters was obvious. This was a man who defeated a society bent on making him subservient. His face showed the defiance he had, knowing as he walked into a room he could get gunned down at any time, like Malcolm X was. Did we really think he could be defeated by a mere mortal?

He’ll be remembered for his smile and the twinkle in his eyes.

But never forget this: he was as tough as they come.

Scholarships The Sag Harbor Lions Club announced this year’s three scholarship award-winning seniors from Pierson High School.

The top scholarship award of $2,500 is presented to Harrison Q. Yardley. Two other scholarships of $1,500 each are presented to Katie M. Bucking and Arlena F. Burns. The club will present the awards to the award-winners and their parents at the membership dinner meeting at the American Hotel on July 27th.

Lion Mark Poitras, the Scholarship Committee Chair, said, “Helping young people to continue their education while dealing with the escalating cost of higher education is a challenge our community faces.

It’s a need our club continues to address even though the awards we present aren’t extravagant.

This year we had many excellent applicants, which made our committee’s decision difficult. The winners demonstrated the highest level of combining extraordinary community and school involvement as well as the highest level of academic achievement.”

The club conducts fund raising projects during the year, such as the Annual Christmas Tree Sale at the windmill in Sag Harbor during December, The Easter Egg Hunt at Mashashimuet Park on Easter Sunday, the Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner on St. Patrick’s Day and Andy’s Run 5K Race on the first Saturday in October.

To support these scholarships and other fundraising events in our community, please visit our website e-clubhouse.org Tuckahoe School News Tuckahoe School has been awarded a Buddy Bench from Kait’s Angels, which is a not-for-profit organization that serves the East End communities to ensure a safe, secure, and positive environment for young people. They also provide opportunities for youth with a focus on character building. On Friday, June 3 we held a ceremony to thank and honor the Doorhy family, who started the organization in honor of their daughter Kaitlyn, who tragically passed after being hit by a car.

This family honors her memory by promoting courage, leadership, and compassion, all traits that Kaitlyn shared in her short life.

The Buddy Bench is a simple way to eliminate loneliness and foster

friendship on the playground. If a child sits on the bench he or she may be looking for a friend. When others see the child alone, they can show compassion by inviting the child to play or talk.

Congratulations to our Tuckahoe musicians who performed at NYSSMA this past weekend (June 3 & 4) at Rocky Point High School.

All of our students scored in the top two categories: “Outstanding” and “Excellent.” The musicians were: Hallie Beeker; Emma Cervone; Jordan Hadix; Stella Lima; Emma Malandrino; Julian Misut; Brandon Perez; Justin Rea; Isabelle Riffaud; Robert Sior; Eric Soledad; and Emily Zukosky. Great work!

New Area Code Coming This Week The days of only dialing seven digits when making a phone call are almost over on Long Island. Starting Saturday, all residents will have to dial the area code as well as the number that they wish to call.

According to the New York State Public Service Commission, 631 area codes will not be altered, but the new 934 area code will go into effect.

The new area code was implemented in Suffolk County to “ensure a continuing supply of new telephone numbers.”

The Commission also stated that “Customers in the 631 area code region requesting new service, and additional line, or in some cases moving their service may be assigned a new number in the new area code.”

Additional information about the area code can be found on the State Public Service Commission’s website at dps.ny.gov.

High winds and choppy seas kept vessels in the harbor this year during the annual Blessing of the Fleet in Montauk.

More BlueGreen Blooms Sampling performed by SUNY Stony Brook has confirmed new cyanobacteria blooms, more commonly known as blue– green algae, in Lake Maratooka in Mattituck, Agawam Pond and Wickapogue Pond in Southampton.

Currently, cyanobacteria blooms exist at the following Suffolk County locations: Maratooka Pond, Mattituck, Agawam Pond, Southampton, Wickapogue Pond, Southampton, and Wainscott Pond, Wainscott.

Due to these findings, health officials ask residents not to use or swim or wade in these waters and to keep their pets and children away from the area.

Though blue-green algae are naturally present in lakes and streams in low numbers, they can become abundant, forming blooms mostly typically in shades of green but also in shades of blue-green, yellow, brown or red.

They may produce floating scums on the surface of the water or may cause the water to take on a paint-like appearance.

Contact with waters that appear scummy or discolored should be avoided. If contact does occur, rinse off with clean water immediately. Seek medical attention if any of the following symptoms occur after contact: nausea, vomiting or diarrhea; skin, eye or throat irritation; or allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.

Bay Shore-based ADRC serves all of Long Island, with all programs offered to families free of charge.

The resource center provides information, programs, and services for families. Its mission is “is to support research that may lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease, to provide care, support and education programs for families in need, and to be advocates for local families who are coping with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias.”

ADRC recently opened a satellite office in Southampton and is planning its first local fundraiser.

A cocktail reception at the Parrish on July 28 will celebrate the collaboration between the resource center and the museum, and honor the Parrish for its commitment to

the community and the Alzheimer’s population. Proceeds from the event will benefit ongoing Parrish/ADRC programs.

Tickets are $250 and include hors d’oeuvres, and a raw bar. Escola de Samba BOOM will perform as will the Vanessa Trouble Quartet. Visit adrcinc.org for tickets.

Taking care of loved ones with memor y impairment, or even simply observing their struggles, can be a heart-wrenching and sad experience. Rare chances to access talents from their earlier lives are precious. Rewarding for volunteers, too.

Museum educators Wendy Gottlieb and Madolin Archer beamed as Tot became engaged in and intent on her drawing.

“It’s very moving,” said Gottlieb.

“There’s something very joyful here.

We’re having a good time.”

Continuing a 108-year tradition, Southampton Elks Lodge 1574 held its annual Flag Day festivities on Sunday, with community members and local leaders joining to celebrate the Stars and Stripes and to recall the achievements attained beneath its folds.

Early in the ceremony, Elk Ryan Horn presented a history of the various banners of the Republic — from England’s Cross of St. George to the nation’s present standard.

One by one the Boy Scouts of Troop 58 Southampton slowly entered the chamber, proudly carrying each flag variant as it was announced.

Scoutmaster Thomas Speckenbach presented the final flag of 50 stars and thirteen stripes.

Punctuating the procession was a moving medley, offered by “The Voices of Southampton” of Southampton High School, and led by the Mariners’ Choral Teacher James Tartaglia.

The day’s guest speaker, Congressman Lee Zeldin of Shirley.

Zeldin, was previously a paratrooper with the elite 82nd Airborne during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He also presently holds the rank of Major in the US Army Reserves.

The Southampton Elks presented Katelyn Corwith of Honor Flight Long Island with $3500 to further the group’s mission of transporting veterans to the nation’s capitol to view their respective memorials.

In addition, the Lodge awarded two scholarships of $1000 each to Southampton High School seniors.

Lauding both of the “outstanding s t u d e n t s ,” E l k s S c h o l a r s h i p Chairman Jack Capute presented Cloe Hase with the Joseph Chiacetti Memorial Scholarship, and Michael Minogue with the John Aluskewicz Memorial Scholarship.

Since 1908, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks have held annual ceremonies to commemorate the anniversary of the nation’s flag, and to reflect upon its significance to the nation and local community. In doing so the Elks are the first and only fraternal body to require formal observance of Flag Day, and have been recognized as the strongest promoter of the occasion.

Insight

Editorial It Didn’t Have To Happen

25

In what is the worst mass shooting in United States history, the motives are now considered to be both a hate crime and domestic terrorism as 102 civilians were killed or injured and many more taken hostage in the popular gay nightclub, Pulse, in the early hours of Sunday morning in Orlando FL. Six months ago, Republican officials elected by the public to protect and serve in their best interests failed to do so once again. A bill that was intended to prevent known and suspected terrorists on FBI watch lists from buying guns legally in the United States was crushed 45 to 54, with the vote coming in mere days after the San Bernardino shooting where both suspects pledged their allegiance to the terrorist organization ISIS. Though the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, it is the responsibility of elected officials, federal protection agencies, and civil servants to act in the interest of the community as a whole. Shooter Omar Mateen had been on FBI watch lists for nearly three years and was the subject of a 10-month long investigation after his co-workers at a security firm reported he made radical claims.

These claims included being a member of the terrorist Shiite group Hezbollah and family connections to the conflicting group Al Qaeda.

After the conclusion of the investigation, Mateen was still able to purchase an assault rifle, even after claiming loyalty to the terrorist group ISIS in a call made to 911 several months before the rampage. With Republicans denying gun control, their blatant distaste for LGBT and Latino communities, and the clear mental health issues ignored by friends and family, which included evidence of domestic violence and aggressive homophobia, a change in procedure, action, and education to prevent such tragedies are long overdue.

Dear Editor, As one of the many New Yorkers who cares about animals and the environment, I hope the City Council and the State Assembly will come up with a way to reduce the number of plastic bags in landfills and on our sidewalks, parks, and waterways.

because they mistake floating plastic bags for food and eat them.

Since brown bags aren’t any greener— approximately 14 million trees are used each year to make paper bags for Americans alone. I now use reusable tote bags, which are animal and environmentally friendly, inexpensive, convenient, and easy to carry.

Continued from page 25. object to the airport in the mid 1930’s. The second letter stated 141 homes are affected by the dangerous and unsafe conditions at East Hampton Airport. Does anyone see a similarity in the basis of these two letters?

Vagueness of information, by a nonpilot, to issues he does not, and obviously will not ever attempt to understand is amazing. To make the statement “runway 4/22 does not provide significant coverage,” is clearly a statement by a non-pilot, who knows nothing about what he says!

At one time Long Island, also called the “Cradle of Aviation,” had many, many airports almost all of which had a Southwest runway, since prevailing winds here on Long Island, are almost always from the Southwest, all season long!

I wonder how many of those alleged 141 homeowners ever bothered to do their homework, before they bought into an existing airport area? I bet a few used that very airport to get a reduced rate on that investment!

Now one other point of major interest: Runway 4/22 is the shortest runway at East Hampton Airport. No heavy traffic, jets etc. can or would use, runway 4/22.

It is way too short. Once again we are treated to a very limited point of view by a non-pilot, regarding a subject he so very

By Karen Fredericks

Describe your father.

Alan Brand My father was a freelance fur matcher. I’d bundle skins for him. He didn’t have a steady job during the depression, so I learned from him that I didn’t want one, either. So after the army I worked for myself as a commodities broker. Pork bellies, wheat, corn. All the nonsense.

Dana O’Leary Can fix anything. Can do anything. And he always makes the best choices.

Eli Sokolow My dad is the cat’s pajamas. He’s from New York, but after he graduated college he moved to California, to Los Angeles. He’s a writer and he was really great with us kids, even when we were really young.

Kenneth Minutoli My father was sweet, kind and gentle. He was a great family man and husband. I lost him very early. He was taken when he was very young, he was 34 and I was three. But I really remember him. He may not be with me physically, but he is with me in spirit.

The Independent publishes all letters to the editor we receive provided they are not libelous and emailed to news@indyeastend.com. We strive to print all obituaries as well but in the event we can’t, they will be published online at www.indyeastend.com. Please try to keep copy under 400 words.

obviously has no intellectual background in!

And one more point, the helicopters also have very little interest in that runway.

Most simply land right on the ramp area!

Runway 4/22 is for the little guys. And that is a fact any pilot, even “the ones who need to upgrade their skills” will tell you. Wow some amazing words of wisdom coming from someone who needs to upgrade his skills on airport and aircraft knowledge!

I would ask your readers to forgive me for once again treating them to yet another letter regarding East Hampton airport. However when I saw a person who obviously knows so little about aviation, making statements he knows so little about I simply had to respond.

RICHARD G. KRAUSE A PILOT, FLYING FOR OVER 50 YEARS!

Sanders Abandons Israel Letter To The Editor, Socialist Sanders appointed two anti-

Israel people to his platform drafting committee. Cornel West espouses antiIsrael views, and James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute, has denounced Israel. Sanders also appointed Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota, an anti-Israel Muslim, to his platform committee.

Sanders, who honeymooned in Russia, and his left wing followers, epitomize a major shift in the Democratic Party concerning Israel. A recent Pew Research Center survey showed “liberal Democrats were twice as likely to sympathize with Palestinians over Israel than they were two years ago.”

The dumb Jew haters have come out of the woodwork to demonize Israel. Their hatred makes them overlook the huge role Israel plays in protecting U.S. interests in the Middle East.

Thankfully, Hillary Clinton, and the Republicans and Libertarians are strong supporters of U.S./Israel relations, and they have a deep understanding of world affairs.

Riverhead On A Roll In HCBL Action

By Rick Murphy

You can’t improve on perfection.

The 2016 Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is underway, and the Riverhead Tomcats are already being labeled as the team to beat.

The Tomcats have sprinted to the top of the pack via six straight wins, and Sunday’s game was indicative of how the Tomcats are getting it done – by controlling every facet of the game.

Riverhead down the road to play against the North Fork Ospreys, walloped the home team 7-1.

Kyle Mallwitz, the Tomcats’ starting pitcher went the first four innings, holding the Ospreys to one run on five hits. Sam Czabala finished things up, going a near perfect five innings yielding only two hits while striking out seven to earn the win.

On offense the team shares the load. Brennan Williams knocked in three runs with a single and a sac fly and centerfielder Tim DeGraw lashed three hits, scored a run, and stole a base. It was Michael Flynn who delivered the fatal blows on this day. The shortstop, a Manorville native, went three for three with two doubles, a run scored, a ribbie, and also walked twice.

A day earlier the Tomcats took the road show to Shelter Island with devastating results – for the home team. Riverhead scored four runs in the fifth inning and six more in the eighth to overrun the Bucks, 11-2. DeGraw, who is hitting a tidy .450 drilled four hits and Anthony Lazar, Gavin Garay, and Flynn had two each.

Thomas Asbaty batted in three runs. Matt Jobes picked up the victor y going 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief.

Friday the Tomcats did it the hard way, rallying for three runs late in the seventh inning to beat the Southampton Breakers and remain undefeated.

Riverhead fell behind the third inning when the Breakers Kevin Kolesar singled home Michael Cusenza with the game’s first run.

The score would remain that way until the seventh inning.

Garay lead off the inning with a triple, and DeGraw and Camillo

Spinoso walked. Asher Lee-Tyson plated one run on a ground out and Flynn delivered a two-run single. Southampton narrowed the gap to 3-2 in the eighth, had the tying run on base when Spinoso, a catcher, threw out Daniel McEvoy (Stony Brook) at third to give the Tomcats their fourth straight win.

Saturday was a proud day for the HCBL organization. Zack

Godley, a former player, was called up by the Arizona Diamondbacks and delivered a fine pitching performance, beating Miami 5-3.

Godley pitched six innings and gave up only two earned runs and four hits in the sixth inning.

Godley was called up last year as well and made a strong impression on the organization, winning five of six starts.

Corbin Burnes, who played for Riverhead in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League in 2014, was taken by the Milwaukee Brewers in the Baseball Draft last week.

By Rick Murphy

Think Corbin Burnes will be a good fit for the Brew Crew? They do.

Burnes pitches for St. Mary’s College but spent the summer on the East End in 2014 when he starred for the Riverhead Tomcats.

Burnes, a right-handed starting pitcher, was taken in the fourth round of the draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, the 111th selection overall.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Burnes went 9-2 with a 2.48 earned run average and struck out 120 batters in 101 2/3 innings. He was named West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year and garnered Second Team All-America accolades from Baseball America. St. Mary’s captured its first-ever WCC title and NCAA Regional berth.

Burnes, a junior, will likely begin his career in the Milwaukee farm system assuming he signs a contract. Burnes had a 3-2 mark in Riverhead after completing his freshman year at St. Mary’s, good enough to earn a berth in the HCBL All-Star game. He struck out 46 batters in only 37 1/3 innings.

“Corbin is a hard-working, gutsy player who knows how to compete and competes for his teammates,” said former Riverhead manager Randy Caden. “The Brewers got themselves a tremendous talent and a tremendous young man. I wish him nothing but the best in his future,” said Thomas Hackimer. Another HCBL alumni, was drafted by the Minnesota Twins, also in the fourth round. Hackimer played for the North Fork Ospreys in 2013 and went on to become an All-American reliever at St. John’s University.

Another Osprey alum, Albany’s Stephen Woods was selected in the eighth round by the San Francisco Giants. The Chicago Cubs drafted Haverford right-hander Stephen Ridings (Shelter Island ‘15) in the eighth round, and another Buck, infielder Sam Machonis (2013) was taken in the 10th by the Detroit Tigers.

State Moving To Legalize Daily Fantasy Sports

By Rick Murphy

“Sounds like they are rounding third and heading towards home . . .“ It’s fitting Assemblyman Fred Thiele would use a sports analogy to categorize behind the scenes efforts in Albany to allow Daily Fantasy Sports operations to start up again.

Last November State Attorney General Eric Schniederman announced his intentions to shut down online sites like FanDuel and Draft Kings, arguing they were in essence illegal gambling operations.

A state court subsequently upheld his decision and thousands of DFS players have been unable to play since March if New York is their primary residence.

State Senator John Bonacic introduced a bill that would reclassify DFS as a game of skill.

Since then representatives of the industry and the legislature have been ironing out an agreement that would allow the state to capture some of the revenue -- DFS developed into a $75 billion industry in only five years, according to estimates.

Schneiderman characterized DFS as a game of chance, Thiele said, and thus taking money from players is in essence gambling, which falls under state control.

“The Attorney General has the

authority to stop DFS, the state legislature can overturn it,” Thiele noted.

It is generally conceded that casino operators and other legal gambling ventures, like horse tracks, were behind the move to shut down DFS because initially DFS giants like FanDuel and Draft Kings insisted that they were not subject to licensing fees or other state imposed charges.

The DFS sites reportedly agreed

to pay a licensing fee based on gross revenue and to refrain from offering contests based on college sports. Operators will also pay a portion of their taxed revenue, reportedly 15 percent.

The bill creates the Fantasy Sports Contests Division within the Financial Frauds And Consumer Protection Unit to promulgate regulations and license operators.

“It sounds like there is a threeway agreement in place,” Thiele

said, which means the Governor will sign the bill. “Nothing is done until it is done but things are looking good.”

A similar showdown is taking place in many other states as governments seek a share of the DFS revenue stream. Currently DFS is allowed in eight states, banned in five, is being contested in 10, and has proposed legislation pending in 16. Eleven other states have yet to address the matter,

On The Water Blowfish Are Back!

Shinnecock Bay The fluke bite has been very spotty; but there have been a few good fish weighed in this week coming from the west side of the bay. Most are being caught on Gulp!

Best to target the shallow water areas and flats where the water has had a chance to warm a bit. Try jigging light bucktails tipped with spear, squid or Gulp.

Peconic Bay Porgies are being taken from Jessup’s Neck and the Greenlawns.

The inlets and creeks all around Peconic are holding plenty of bait.

The small inlets are still producing plenty of schoolie bass. Some of the regular nightspots have seen a few larger fish.

Seabass opens June 27th, three fish at 15-inches is the limit.

Shinnecock Inlet Bluefish have been there for two weeks now tearing up everyone’s gear. The stripers have been showing up at night. Live baits, preferably live bunker, have been best targeting the trophy size fish that moved in earlier in the week.

Some seabass were caught in there as well along with a few fluke.

Shinnecock Canal Blowfish showed up this weekend and are tearing up everyone’s bait. The bluefish are running through when the locks are open.

The fluke bite is extremely slow.

Ponquogue Bridge The stripers are stacked up here as well. The clam chummers are doing well with an occasional keeper in the mix. The night tides have seen the larger fish feed on swimming plugs and rubber baits.

W 2S All Pass

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. At one table South supported North’s opening bid by raising to 3H but most Souths passed because of the singleton

heart. Actually the contract of 3H made 3. However every other team ended up with West playing 2S or 2S doubled.

If West is allowed to play in 2S, NS will beat the contract by two tricks by taking 3S, 1H, 1D and 2C,resulting in 100 points. However, South knows that the contract cannot be made and must double for penalty. For the South that did double, the result was 300 points, clearly the top on this board.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard

Cell Phones And Boats When I’ve written in the past about the need and use of a VHF radio, I noted that if you didn’t have a radio aboard that you were risking your life over a couple of hundred dollars – it’s nutty not to have a radio aboard.

Nonetheless, many don’t! And those skippers rely on their cell phone for emergency assistance.

OK, I guess you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. Here is the scuttlebutt on cell phones on the water.

*CG: Gone Starting in the early 90s, many cell phone service providers offered a special telephone number that would give you direct access, via your cell phone, to a US Coast Guard Operations Center. However, as many cell systems were upgraded, the feature didn’t migrate to the new system and the Coast Guard found that coverage was thus very spotty and could create dangerous delays in dispatching USCG resources to an emergency situation.

As a consequence, in October 2006, the Coast Guard requested that all cellular phone service providers discontinue the *CG service, except in Alaska, and any such calls be routed to the 911

Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) nearest to where the call originated.

Even when it worked, mariners didn’t always know where they were and the USCG had no ready mechanism to determining where they were. Now, with Rescue 21, this problem has been dramatically reduced and often eliminated, if you are using a VHF radio.

Lastly, even when you did reach the USCG, they were the only one aware of your predicament. VHF-16 is, by federal law, required to be monitored by all vessels equipped with a VHF radio. Another private boater could be much closer to you than the nearest USCG station.

And getting the “rescue clock starts now” sequence going may be the difference between life and death.

But I Want My Cell Phone!

O K , s k i p p e r, h e r e i s t h e scuttlebutt. First, there is no reliable way to be definitive about cell phone coverage at sea.

Is it better the closer you are to land? Yes, compared to being far away. But cell phone systems are designed for land-based use and the associated physics of how objects absorb and reflect signals. Water is an entirely different kettle of fish,

www.indyeastend.com

no pun intended.

Another agonizing puzzle is when you can see five bars on your cell phone. but still can’t connect a call. Why? Here is a likely scenario – there is a cell phone tower high up on a hill somewhere and it, with its higherpowered signal, can see you. But your cell phone isn’t strong enough to transmit all the way back to the cell tower!

If you are intent on using your cell phone at sea, start looking into external antennas and signal boosters. Some boosters claim, when attached to an external 8’ antenna, that the signal range can extend up to 50 miles. Now, if you are ready to spring for the cost of the external antenna, can I suggest again that you attach a VHF radio to it?

The Technology The world-wide cellular system depends on two things – low power transmission and continual reuse of a limited number of frequencies.

This is where the term “cell phone” comes from – you travel from cell to cell, bounded by low-power transmission, and are handed off automatically from one radio frequency to another.

June 15, 2016

The cell tower is transmitting, usually, at just a few watts and your cell phone is transmitting back at even lower power, as low as 1/1,000th of a watt. It is always lower than 1 watt. (BTW, a handheld VHF radio is transmitting at 5 watts and the “desk-top” VHF radio is transmitting at 25 watts.) As you travel towards the edges of adjacent cells, the cell phone tower’s software coordinates the hand-off from cell A to cell B. If your boat is disabled and bobbing in the waves, there is no way to move closer to an adjacent cell like your car naturally does.

To Take Or Not To Take?

Take it, by all means! When it does work, there is no better way to have a private, non-emergency conversation and most USCG and USCGAux vessels are equipped with cell phones for this reason. But, when it comes to an emergency, your VHF radio is the best and fastest way to being rescued!

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources Department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing.”
