EHVOR Catches The Crowdfunding Wave By Kitty Merrill
Their motto is “always on call.” East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue is the only fully volunteer organization of its kind in the nation. With 77 members trained for water -- and even ice -- rescues, the elite squad protects the community 24/7. According to EHVOR Chief Ed Reid, members who join undergo rigorous training willingly, because “They want to give back to the community.” Volunteers train all year long, using a pool during the winter and coordinating with local fire departments and the dive team to drill varied rescue scenarios. The initial certification alone takes over 60 hours. EHVOR is called upon for water rescues frequently throughout the year, Reid said. The volunteers can always be found at triathlons, charity swim events, and the annual polar bear plunge. “We make a ton of rescues [at the triathlons],” he said. Reid recalled one triathlete last year who experienced a medical problem, compounded by the exertion and effects of cold water.
“That person was very close to the edge,” he said. “If our guys weren’t there, that person wouldn’t have made it.” The EHVOR page website includes a variety of testimonials from event participants, some noting how members helped them through grueling swimming challenges. Said one grateful athlete, “Knowing you were there for us in case of need made all the difference in raising my confidence to complete an 18-mile open ocean paddle.” She was ready to ask for a tow and “received something even better: words of encouragement that helped me paddle through the last hour.” Recently EHVOR received some words of encouragement of its own: four local businesses have promised to match every dollar the group can raise through their project page Goodcircle.org/project/alwayson-call. Green Logic, Truth Training, Blue Square Consulting, and Southampton Optics will match each donation made through the project page. East Hampton town and village both provide funding for the group,

but it relies also on donations for water-safety gear, essential equipment, educational materials, and insurance costs. Many of the members buy their own equipment – from wetsuits and boards to masks and snorkels. This year, Reid explained, a portion of their budget went to repairs on their jet ski, leaving them without the funds for binoculars and other gear. That’s why they’re trying a different avenue, and catching the wave of crowdfunding. So far, they’ve garnered almost

$10,000 in pledges and are more than halfway to a goal of $18,880 with 17 days to go. EHVOR traces its roots back to the town’s dory rescue squad – dory boat fishermen who responded to water emergencies and helped protect the lives in the waters around East Hampton . . . no matter the time of year, according to the ocean rescue website. When the Dory Rescue Squad disbanded, EHVOR took on the task and has been protecting swimmers since 2003.

MOTHER OF MERCY, IS THIS THE END OF UBER? What has happened to Uber? I thought it was one of the great inventions of this century, right up there with E-Z Pass and the George Foreman Grill. Almost four years ago, when they first showed up, I must have recommended Uber to a few hundred people. Great drivers, clean cars. “Would you like some music, sir? Is the temperature okay for you?” When you got to your destination the driver would jump out and open your door for you. To d a y t h e r e a r e t e n s o f thousands more Uber drivers. About four of them speak English. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m all for immigrants coming to the United States and finding jobs. I have no trouble with Uber drivers who speak what my grandparents used to call “broken English.” That’s knowing enough words that you can make yourself understood. However, it’s a problem when I get into an Uber car on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan and I say, “I want to go to Fifth Avenue,”
and the driver first points left, and then right, to ask, “Which direction is Fifth Avenue?” When he turns on his GPS and the woman’s voice on the GPS is speaking Spanish, I start to get nervous. Then there’s the Surge problem. Uber now has a surge price which, in effect, is telling us that when it’s raining . . . or when it’s 6 PM and you want to get home . . . or when you want to leave the theater district . . . we are going to make you pay through the nose. Fair enough, I know about supply and demand. But two recent incidents have soured me on Uber. In the first, my Uber car pulled up to my house. The driver lowered the rear window to check if I was indeed the “Jerry” who had called Uber. I rested my hand on the window and leaned in and said, “Uber for Jerry?” The driver turned around and raised the car window and caught my thumb in the window. I’m screaming in pain and he’s staring at me, wondering why I’m

not getting into his car. Finally he gets the hint that my screaming and cursing and calling him a dumb mother%&$## is not a term of endearment here in the United States. He looks at my bleeding finger and can’t remember the English word for “Sorry,” so he turns back around and starts driving. If you see me in town, ask to see my thumb – it’s still black and blue five weeks after the incident. The second Uber incident was much more dangerous. I got into a car in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The nice friendly Chinese gentleman driving the car looks confused by the destination I had written down for North 7th Street. He goes right through a stop sign. Doesn’t even slow down, so I casually asked him, “How long have you been driving for Uber?” He says, “UBER. UBER.” I think perhaps he hasn’t heard my question so I say, “Excuse me. How long have you been driving for Uber?” He says, “UBER. UBER.” Now it’s clear to me that he doesn’t understand a word of English, so I start to talk slowly and softly, which makes me sound exactly like Lenny in Of Mice and Men. “Wheeen diddd youuuu firstttt startttt drivingggg forrrr Uber?” The driver turns around in his seat, looks at me and says, “UBER! UBER! UBER!” Turning around caused him to pass through another stop sign. I screamed “STOP,” which was clearly a word he understood but

could not read. I got out, shaking. Perhaps I was too hard on the Chinese gentleman.I imagine if I became an Uber driver in Peking, China and a Chinese man got into my Uber car and said, “你已经来 了多久呢？ nǐ yǐjīng lái le duō jǐu” I would answer “UBER! UBER! UBER!” Uber has done the impossible. They have driven me back to New York City taxicabs, which are plentiful again because everyone is taking Uber cars. Try it, you’ll like it. You’ll find it refreshing to be driven around in a smelly New York City cab by a guy named Mohammad who is jabbering on the phone a mile a minute in a scary language with his friends. But at least he knows where you’re going and how to get you there. IMPORTANT NOTE: When I talk about Uber above, I am only referring to Uber in Manhattan. This has nothing to do with Uber cars working in The Hamptons. To begin with, the Uber drivers in Manhattan I’m talking about couldn’t find their asses without a GPS. They could never pronounce Amagansett, much less find it. Drivers who work the Hamptons know where they’re going and they can be lifesavers. The only problem they have is some dickheads in the East Hampton administration have banned them from making pickups in East Hampton. When a kid in at a bar Montauk has had too much to drink and wants to leave their car for their own safety and call an Uber, they can’t. Larry Cantwell, the town honcho, has decided that you wait for a cab or take your chances on the road. No Uber. This is a crime. In the public interest I am publishing Larry’s email address. It is: LCantwell@ehamptonny.gov If you hear from your son or daughter and they need a ride, send Larry an email and I’m sure that as a dedicated public servant, he will be happy to climb out of bed and pick up your children and drive them to safety. I’m sure that when he reads this, Larry will be sending me his personal phone number so I can publish it and make it easier for you to reach him in the middle of the night. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@dfjp.com.

Recycled Houseboat As Canvas By Carrie Catherine Holmes
Until tomorrow the Long Wharf pier in Sag Harbor is host to an unusual art instillation. Where the docks are usually host to shining recreational vessels and multimillion-dollar luxury yachts, a unique sight comes in the form of a modified houseboat. ‘WetLands’ is an ecological statement on progress and regression in the world of environmentalism. With the houseboat as a canvas, ecological activist and artist Mary Mattingly used reclaimed materials and sustainable practices to harvest energy and water, and grow plants. This instillation runs in tandem with an exhibit entitled “Radical Seafaring” hosted by the Parish Art Museum. A performance piece consisting of interpretive dance took place on the pier Sunday afternoon. With nature as the central theme, the show in Water Mill features work from various artists in a plethora of mediums including sculpture, drawing, paint and more. Back in Sag Harbor, the slanted house frame is open to the viewer’s interpretation as it seems
to rise from and sink into the water simultaneously, almost as if it were the harbinger for change, bringing in a new day with green living or signaling the downfall of society and our wasteful practices. Much of Mattingly’s inspiration came from her experience in Alaska where she witnessed the devastation of global climate change and sea rise. More inspiration came from her social commentary on human greed and waste stemming from the housing collapse in recent years. Running on solar power, the boat house features a living space, kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom to accommodate an occupant who utilizes the green lifestyle made possible by the house boat-turned-art piece to improve and evolve their understanding and interpretation of the use of space, living, and reuse. Its usual home is at the University of Pennsylvania, where one lucky student at a time has the opportunity to live in the space. They can continue their studies in the arts and/or environmental disciplines in a space that encourages independence,

creativity, and consciousness. Some of the ways the boat maintains the green lifestyle for these students is by recycling rain water which is used to water the plants, and filtered to supply the faucets including those for drinking and washing. Inside the living space a worn wood floor shining with a fresh coat of lacquer was once the floor of a gym in an Iowa school. The planters surrounding the outer decks of the boat brim with life as plants stretch up to the sun in their recycled planters. Staying with the theme of education, community, and environmentalism, the plants were sourced from
middle school students in the Water Mill area who sprouted and grew their own herbs and vegetable plants to be transplanted as part of the installation while building new skills and making learning fun. Perhaps the most interesting local participant, though, was a mallard duck who chose one of the repurposed military shells turned planter in the boat’s bow to lay her clutch of eggs. WetLands was a highlight for many visitors to Sag Harbor. Mattingly greeted guests and shared the inspiration behind her vision over Father’s Day weekend, but will be moving on tomorrow.

Climate Change: SoFo Eyes Answers By Carrie Catherine Holmes
Climate change, chemical pollution, and energy reduction were the focus at the second annual Climate Change Symposium hosted by the South Fork Natural History Museum last Saturday. A panel comprised of speakers with backgrounds in state government, energy, law, and architectural engineering discussed the environmental issues facing the Long Island area. Energy – its overuse and its conser vation – was eyed. The conservation of energy through practice and construction, improved conservation through local business offers and deals, as well as free activities for families saving energy were among the strategies described. A reception featuring a raw bar and live acoustic music by Alfredo Merat in the scenic SoFo Museum gardens set the tone for an elegant evening of environmentalism and comradery in the interest of preserving the farm to beach lifestyle so unique to The Hamptons. Lynn Arthur, Edwina von Gal,
Steven Englebright, Michael Gerrard, Peter Boyd, and Nick Martin comprised the panel of experts. All passionate about environmental conservation, each described how they apply their respective expertise and power in their efforts. How has climate change effected life on Long Island? If nothing changes, what does the future hold? The pine beetle invasion, the collapse of the Long Island lobster industry, more severe weather patterns, and acid rain have already begun to damage the local flora and fauna. The panel discussed efforts underway to combat the predation including legislation on a local, state, and global level, electric companies’ efforts, offers, and specials, and how architecture can affect not only how energy is used, but how much is used as well. Special offers suggested include discounts for going green in ways like using energy efficient bulbs and free waste screenings that could bring down energy costs of not only single houses, but reduce the cost of electricity in the community as a

whole by decreasing demand. There was an emphasis on clean and renewable energies, including solar and wind energies, that are more efficient and, in the long run, more cost effective. Excess in the use of energy was addressed as well. Suggestions on how to curb waste involved sealing air ducts, smart thermostats, even
grass roofs, which repel heat whilst simultaneously insulating a structure. Stepping away from fossil fuels was unanimously agreed as necessary for both the progress of society, but also for the preservation of non-renewable resources, and the environment as a whole by CONTINUED ON PAGE 26.

Summer Tips For A Healthy Heart
The American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association collaborated to provide several tips to keep your heart and family healthy and happy this summer. Heart disease and stroke are the number 1 and number 5 causes of death in the United States, yet 80 percent of these diseases are preventable with simple lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet and regular exercise. Summer is the perfect time to take control of your heart health since warmer weather means more fruits and vegetables available as well as better temperatures for outdoor exercise. Here are some other tips for a healthy heart this summer: • Stay Hydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, preferably water, throughout the day. Try to keep a water bottle with you at all times and fill it up as frequently as possible. Also avoid beverages with caffeine and alcohol in hot weather. • Plan Your Exercise. Attempt to exercise at cool points in the day when the humidity is low. If you have to exercise at a hot point in the day, reduce the duration and intensity of the work out. It is always better to work out smarter than harder. Consider joining a gym or indoor fitness center where you can exercise without fear of overheating. • D r e s s t o I m p r e s s . We a r lightweight clothing that allows quick evaporation of sweat and prevents overheating. Cotton is a great lightweight fabric that is extremely versatile. • Choose Fresh Fruits and Veggies. Take advantage of fresh seasonal ingredients. Make fruit salads or ice pops and grill up veggies with
light olive oil for the perfect healthy snack. • Protect Yourself From the Sun. When in the sun make sure to wear sunscreen of at least SPF 15 and re apply every 2 hours. Hats make a great accessory and keep harmful heat off your face and shoulders.

Climbing, And Walking, Out Of Darkness Long Island Birth Network (LIBN), in partnership with the Long Island Doula Association, Inc. (LIDA, Inc.) joined forces with Postpartum Progress hosting The Hamptons first Climb Out of the Darkness beach walk. Over a dozen participants, including Sandy Celauro, a Rutland, VT Climb Leader, walked at Long Beach in Sag Harbor on Saturday, to support women suffering from postpartum depression and postpartum mood disorders. Climb Out of the Darkness is the world’s largest event raising awareness of maternal mental illnesses like postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and other postpartum mood disorders. One in every seven women suffer some kind of postpartum emotional
distress. Events are held on or near the longest day of the year annually to literally and figuratively shine the light on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Mothers and others across the globe join together to fight the stigma of postpartum depression by climbing mountains and hiking trails and beaches to represent their symbolic rise out of the darkness of maternal mental illness and into the light of hope and recovery. LIBN is a community resource for women and families located on the East End of Long Island. Together LIBN & LIDA, Inc. sponsor outreach and education programs including: films and educational talks about birthing options, placenta benefits, birth support for pregnant women and their families, breastfeeding,
prenatal and family nutrition as well as advice on doula and other birth and delivery support services. Last year they hosted the 1st annual “Homegrown Family Health Fair: Cultivating Healthy Families and Healthy Homes From Birth to Beyond” at Christ Church in Sag Harbor which will be held again this October 15th, 2016. “LIBN hosts a monthly Birth Circle at Bridgehampton and Hampton Bays Libraries where women can gather to share stories about birth experiences, raising families, various birthing options and pregnancy support from other local moms,” reports Sara Topping, LIBN Board Member and LIDA, Inc., Liaison. “We feel that women need more community support both to give birth and tend to the needs of their babies, children, partners and themselves these days. LIBN is committed to providing that support,” she said.

A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. All of the NS teams bid a reasonable 4S. All South declarers, except one, went down one trick when the diamond suit did not break 3-3. Geoffrey O’Conner, one of the best players on the East End, saw another strategy that would work as long as the trumps split 3-2. After he won the 3rd heart by ruffing in his hand with a high spade, Geoff led a club to the dummy’s 10. East won and returned a diamond. Geoff won with the diamond king. He then led his last club to the ace and ruffed a third club with another high trump. He then took

Blue-Green Algae Back Again Recent tests performed by SUNY Stony Brook have confirmed new forms of cyanobacteria blooms, commonly known as blue-green algae, in Mill Pond in Southampton. Other areas affected include Maratooka Pond in Mattituck and Agawam Lake in Southampton. Due to these recent findings, h ea t h o f f i c i al s a r e as k i n g residents to not use or swim in the water, and to keep pets and children away from the area. Take extra precautions when around Agawam Lake as levels of algae and toxin are extremely high. Blue-Green algae is naturally present in low numbers, but they can become abundant and form blooms typically blue-green, but can be 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. If you have contact with contaminated water and experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritation of the skin, eyes or throat, or breathing difficulties seek medical attention. To report a suspected algae bloom contact Suffolk County Department of Heath Services Office of Ecology at 631-852-5760. L.F.

Community members are diverse in age, background, and interests. Now, there is a full calendar of programs and events offered year round. Reaching 120 years is a significant milestone in Judaism because the Torah teaches that Moses lived to be 120 years old. About this, Rabbi Geffen said, “Moses ensured the wisdom and experience he attained in his lifetime would be preserved and passed on to help future generations. This is why it is customary to say to someone on their birthday, Ad Me’ah Ve’Esrim Shana – Hebrew for they should live until 120 years.” Temple Adas Israel is located at Elizabeth Street and Atlantic Avenue in Sag Harbor.

Future readings will take place throughout the summer in various venues, including Canio’s, the East Hampton library, and Southampton Books, with a rotating group of authors. On Sunday beginning at 2 PM, seven of the anthology authors – Bill Akin, Dave Davis, Perry Duryea III, Alice Kaltman, Gert Murphy, David Phenix, Debbie Tuma – will read from their essays, poetry, and fiction featured in the anthology. The book was the brainchild of short-story and novelist Céline Keating (Layla, Play for Me) and Ed Johann, leader of the Montauk Writers Group. They solicited previously published work with a Montauk theme (such as a short story set at Gosman’s by renowned Irish author Joseph O’Connor) and issued a call for submissions throughout the East End. The collection includes more than fifty writers (and photographers), who celebrate the uniqueness and inspiration of Montauk. The collection both showcases some celebrated published work and introduces some new writers also inspired by Montauk. Keating will host Sunday’s event.

Outcry To Ban Semi-Automatic Weapons Intensifies By Rick Murphy
Mass murders are occurring with alarming frequency in this country, and so is the outcry after each slaughter: ban assault weapons. What was a healthy debate over the years has turned into an overwhelmingly heated one, and pro-gun lobbyists face not only
anti-gun opponents, but also the perception that they somehow share the blame for each tragedy. News reports provide overwhelming evidence that assault rifles are the weapons of choice for mass murderers in this country. Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27 — the shooters who killed 14 people and

injured 21 others in San Bernardino — had two legally purchased .223 caliber assault-style rifles, according to NBC news. Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 children at Sandy Hook School using a semi-automatic; he also shot and killed his mother. Christopher Harper Mercer fatally shot an assistant professor and eight students in a classroom at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon. He was armed with an AR-15 and other weapons. According to articles in Mother
Volume 1 • Issue 24 Jones (see link at bottom) and other reports, the weapon used in the Orlando massacre was a Sig Sauer MCX, which is similar to an AR-15, but not technically an assault rifle. The NRA refers to it as a modern sports rifle. But the manufacturer refers to it as “battle proven” and it is known in the field as a “Black Mamba,” a favorite of U.S. Special Ops forces. Yet these weapons are not difficult to purchase in most places. The gunman, Omar Mateen, also purchased a Glock 17 handgun the same week – in Orlando. Both were purchased legally. Mateen is captured on a video getting off 24 rounds in less than 10 seconds. But for millions of gun enthusiasts as well as the gun lobby and NRA, banning assault rifles is not the answer to containing terrorist attacks and massacres like the one in Orlando. They argue that in a way, a gun ban could cause more terror and turmoil. The mantra “a disarmed populace can easily be led to slaughter” is more than rhetoric: history has proven it to be true many times. T h e N R A ’ s I n s t i t u t e Fo r Legislative Action rebukes many of the so-called “beliefs” shared by gun opponents. For example, semi-automatic firearms are not more powerful than other guns. Gun control supporters call “assault” weapons (and all other firearms, for that matter) “high-powered.” However, a firearm’s power is determined by the caliber or gauge of its ammunition.” More telling, violent crimes have decreased markedly since 1981 while ownership of semiCONTINUED ON B-3.

He faces a maximum of 20 years imprisonment and waived the right to appeal if his sentence is less than 12 1/2 years. Troyan, a Riverhead physician’s assistant, was arrested in November by Drug Administration agents and charged with illegally obtaining and conspiracy to distribute oxycodone. Former Southampton Town Councilman Brad Bender was identified as a co-conspirator of Troyan; he abruptly resigned just days after the election last November though he has two years left on his term.

automatic weapons has increased by 50 million units. The murder rate in the USA is at a 49 year low. Whether it rationally follows that they support the sale of semiautomatic weapons is another debate entirely. The call to ban so-called assault rifles is almost universal among Democratic Party public officials, though a few holdouts in gunfriendly states remain. Thursday, however, the effect of the Orlando slaughters was evident in Congress where after a 15-hour filibuster some Republicans agreed to allow two gun reform measures to come to the floor for vote: saying Republicans had pledged to hold votes on gun control measures to expand background checks and prevent people on U.S. terrorism watch lists from buying guns. President Obama has urged for the “Political stalemate to end,” yet insiders say the latest measures are unlikely to garner enough votes to become law. Even Donald Trump has softened his stance, stating he will meet with NRA leaders to discuss more stringent control on assault weapons. It’s a start, but there is some sentiment to outlaw possession of the weapons altogether, which would cripple an entire industry, put thousands out of work and force homeowners intent on having the

protection of a weapon, bring them into the Black Market to purchase the guns. “Tough gun control laws in Germany that were rigorously tightened after two ghastly school shootings in 2002 and 2009 have helped cut the number of firearm killings in half to about 50 a year,” wrote Erik Kirschbaum in the LA Times. Though the two measures might seem no-brainers to most Americans, gun enthusiasts believe in the principles of their Second Amendment rights, and by softening their stance they open the door to more stringent anti-gun regulations. But, of course, NRA critics see a much baser motive for the group to resist gun control legislation – money. According to the Coalition To Stop Gun Violence, the NRA is a not-for-profit that raises about $300 million a year in revenues, a little less than half is membership dues, but most of the rest comes in as

State Senate Responds To Opioid Crisis By Rick Murphy
The New York State Senate passed a series of bills Thursday in response to the opioid epidemic on Long Island. According to Senator Ken LaValle the measures focus on addiction prevention, access to treatment, and support for individuals in recovery. The legislation addresses many of the issues raised by the Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction over the past few years. LaValle, a member of the Task Force said, “I have heard from too many funeral directors that they are tired of seeing young faces leave us way too soon. Doctors tell me of seeing too many kids in the emergency rooms. Families have shared their stories of immeasurable grief. The information, experiences, and suggestions shared have helped in guiding our efforts.”
The package includes critical new tools to the state’s arsenal to fight the heroin and opioid abuse crisis. One measure expands insurance coverage for addiction treatment, enhances treatment options, and empowers professionals to administer emergency assistance to individuals. The bills, taken together, provide for tools to help educate about the dangers of opiates and require hospitals to provide educational services. The Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction was created in March 2014 to address the scourge of heroin in New York’s communities. At least 11 bills advanced by the Task Force have already been signed into law and successfully fought to include $189 million in the budget this year to strengthen prevention, treatment, recovery, and education services.

The Task Force released a comprehensive report with more than 30 recommendations in May that would help improve prevention efforts, increase access to treatment, expand recovery options, and provide greater resources to law enforcement to aid in combating this crisis. Many of the recommendations have been incorporated into the final legislative agreement reached by the senate, governor, and assembly announced earlier this week and passed last week.
Limits Prescriptions Among the other provisions, the bill limits initial opioid prescriptions to seven days and directs the Department of Health to expand its reporting of opioid overdose data by tracking the number of opioid overdoses in addition to the number of opioid overdose deaths. The legislation ends the practice of requiring prior insurance authorization for immediate access to impatient treatment services and requires at least 14 days of coverage. This bill also ensures the provision of adequate discharge planning from treatment facilities, provides individuals with the opportunity to seek further substance use treatment, and requires the dissemination of information on the dangers of long-
term substance use and treatment resources. Also on the table was a measure requiring the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) to enact the Wraparound Services Demonstration Program created in 2014 to prevent relapses after drug treatments. The program continues to provide services to adolescents and adults for up to nine months after the successful completion of a treatment program. These services would be in the form of case management services that address education, legal, financial, social, childcare, and other supports. The bill allows providers to determine the most appropriate level of care for a client with a substance abuse disorder, regardless of what diagnostic tool is used to determine treatment service levels. Providers could use either OASAS’s Level of Care for Alcohol and Drug Treatment Referral (LOCADTR) or any other diagnostic tool approved by OASAS – increasing the ability of providers to make sure that patients are able to receive the treatment they need. This year’s state budget included $189 million in funding to help address the challenging public health crisis caused by heroin and opioid abuse in communities throughout the state. This includes an increase of $25 million above the Executive Budget proposal that was strongly supported by the members of the Senate’s Joint Task Force on Heroin and Opioid Addiction to help strengthen abuse prevention, treatment, recovery, and education services.

SAFE Act Has Been Effective Thus Far
By Rick Murphy
New York State (and City) has a history of progressive gun control legislation. The latest measure, The Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, was passed in January 2013 after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. The law contains several provisions that together make it one of the toughest in the nation, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo. It bans high capacity magazines, requires ammunition dealers to do background checks, and requires owners of so-called “assault” weapons to register with the state. Assault weapons have been described as having military-style characteristics. “Anyone owning such a weapon prior to the date of the ban must register such weapon and may only sell such weapon to a licensed gun dealer or out of state,” Assemblyman Fred Thiele explained. Fully automatic weapons have been banned for even longer. Semiautomatic weapons, unlike fully automatic weapons, require a separate trigger pull for each shot to leave the weapon. They are semiautomatic in that the next bullet is automatically moved into the chamber rather than requiring the shooter to do so manually. The issue with regard to how “lethal” a weapon is has more to do with the magazine rather than whether a weapon is semi-automatic or not. Most mass shootings with
semi-automatic weapons involve high capacity magazines that hold over 20 rounds of ammunition, allowing for several shots prior to the replacement of the empty magazine with a fully loaded one. Thiele said prior to the SAFE Act, New York limited most weapons to a magazine of 10 bullets. Higher capacity magazines that were owned prior to the 1990 were grandfathered in, but were not legal to be sold in this state to anyone other than the military and police. Higher capacity magazines owned by retired police officers - who obtained those magazines while employed and for use with their service weapons - are allowed, but must be registered in this state. The penalty for owning a banned weapon or magazine varies regarding the means of ownership. New ownership after the ban is treated like most illegally obtained firearms – as a felony, while failing to register a previously-owned weapon is treated like a misdemeanor or less depending upon the knowledge that the owner had that the weapon fell under the definition of a banned weapon. “Statistically few crimes are committed in New York State by legally obtained weapons,” Thiele said. “Even after the passage of the SAFE Act few individuals have been charged with illegal possession of a weapon without also being charged with another criminal act,” he added.

Gun Sellers Often Bypass Background Checks
By Rick Murphy
With the exception of a handful of states, calls for extensive background checks on would-be purchasers of so-called assault rifles have been met with resistance. New York has passed such a law, and just Thursday Congress agreed to at least debate a measure but has yet to pass legislation. In the perfect world, anti-gun advocates say, ammunition sellers and gun sellers would be able to ascertain the identity of the purchaser and check databases to see if there are any cogent reasons to deny the sale. But simply put, the system is not working.

A perfect example is Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people at an Orlando nightclub last week. He had been investigated b the FBI in the past, so his name might have shown up on a Do Not Sell list. Instead, he bought two weapons the week before his rampage – legally. As it stands, federally-licensed firearm dealers are required to conduct background checks. But according to POLITIFACT, many dealers sell rifles, especially at gun shows, but don’t have licenses. Some have a license but don’t conduct background checks. Matthew Miller, professor of Health Sciences and Epidemiology at Northeastern University, helped conduct a survey that found out of 4000 people who purchased guns legally, 22 percent did not undergo a background check. Though there are loopholes galore, there is one fatal exception to the gun control system: private sales are exempt from background checks altogether. According to the Law Center To

Prevent Gun Violence, “Unlicensed, private sellers are not required to conduct background checks. As a result, convicted felons and other ineligible people are able to easily buy guns in most states nationwide.” Though states have the option of requiring dealers to conduct background checks through state or local agencies, called “Points Of Contact,” or directly through the FBI, resales require no additional checking. In other words, once a rifle is sold at a retail outlet, the licensing agencies lose control of tracking its whereabouts. According to an undercover investigation conducted by the City of New York, 62 percent of private

online firearm sellers agreed to sell a firearm to a buyer even after the buyer had told the seller that he or she probably could not pass a background check.

They are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Delaware, D.C., New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington State. The National Instant Criminal background Check (NCIS) is used by gun shop owners to check out a would-be buyer before consummating the deal. Federal law imposes various duties on federally-licensed firearms dealers. Firearms dealers must, theoretically at least, perform background checks, maintain records, report certain multiple sales, and report the theft or loss of a firearm from the licensee’s inventory. Federal law imposes none of these requirements on unlicensed sellers, however.

RICK’S SPACE Got Ants? We do. On the kitchen counters, no less. This freaks Karen out to no end. Since I grew up in a 200 year-old house in Sag Harbor ants don’t faze me much. I got used to all kinds of crawly, slithery creatures, and ants are the most benign, especially the little black ones. The next size up are the big black ants (from the Blackum Antae family) which you can distinguish from their smaller cousins by the fact you can feel them crawling all over you. (The smaller ants, you just imagine you have them in your underwear, when in most cases you don’t.) Then there are the dreaded Red Ants (Communistae Antium) and finally the Red Ants we used to call Cow Killers in Sag Harbor, because they could reportedly – wait for it – take down an adult bovine. Ants are “social insects,” which is why they drop by for a snack. The ones we have can apparently make themselves invisible (perhaps

by putting a magic ring on their little fingers). We’ll clean the entire counter with bleach. Then we’ll take out a plate of food from the refrigerator and put it on the counter. The next time we pick it up, there will be ants underneath it. I don’t know how those little suckers do it. They secrete pheromones – I don’t know what that means and I don’t like the sound of it. (I probably do the same thing, though.) Karen is convinced they are in our food -- the ants, not the pheromones -- and I have to convince her they aren’t. But they are, of course. When we used to bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the beach as kids the sandwiches would always have ants in them. That’s life in the country — go to the beach, eat some bugs, get stung by a couple of wasps, pick up a tick or two, get sea lice, and then go home. This is why people pay so
much to live in The Hamptons. Despite their proximity to our food, however, Karen will not let me kill the ants. She blows them off the counter, as if they aren’t smart enough to crawl right back up. Here are a few observations I’ve made: Ant Land has a lot of One-Way signs. Ants move in single file, all in the same direction. They never go back to where they came from – they just keep going forward until either you kill them, eat them, or they get in your underwear. Last summer I was at my computer when I felt a big black ant crawling on my foot. I looked down and sure enough there was a procession. I followed the line – they were coming in a steady stream from under the front door, turned left into my room, and then went under the bureau. There were thousands of them. So I took a broom, opened the front door, and swept them out, as many as I could. They never came back. I’ve never looked under my bureau to see what it is that attracted them. If a coin or a golf ball rolls under there I leave it. The thing that lurks there and I have an uneasy truce. (Karen should know,
B-7
though, that at any time it might snatch her and drag her under and she will never be seen again.) At my brother’s graveside ceremony the priest made a little speech and then asked us to remember each family member who rested there. As we read their names aloud, one at a time, he would raise his arms and say “May his (her) soul rest in heaven, R-men (they never say ‘amen’ like normal people).” Then he asked for remembrances of my brother. My mom recalled that he worked at the Catholic Church one summer until he came upon one of those giant blankets of ants, a million of them swarming over a breadcrumb or something. He got fired after a priest saw him spray lighter fluid and set them ablaze on the steps of Saint Andrew’s. As my mother finished telling the tale the priest remained silent so I raised my arms and face toward heaven and said, “May their little souls rest in peace.” When it comes to ants, Karen must be made to realize it is either them or us. The only good bug is a dead bug -- except those served with peanut butter and jelly.

Historic Banner The Mattituck Wide Awake Club marching banner has recently been permanently installed in the gallery at the Ann Currie Bell House at the Museum Complex on the Main Road in Southold. Dating back to 1860, this banner is a unique piece of history, as it is the only existing Wide Awake Club matching banner from Long Island. The banner is also the only “welcome home” banner for Union Troops known to exist in New York. Sponsors, members and the public are invited to celebrate the preservation of the banner at a reception at the Ann Currie Bell House on July 23 at 5 PM. Car Show The Shelter Island Historical Society will host a car show Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM. The show will be held at Fireman’s Field, the corner of N. Cartwright and Burns.

The Show’s On

The Clamshell Foundation announced Friday that the Great Bonac Fireworks will, for possibly one last time, light the skies over Three Mile Harbor on July 16. Originally begun by author George Plimpton and Boys Harbor founder Tony Duke some three decades ago, the pyrotechnic display celebrated Bastille Day each year. When Boys Harbor closed, Clamshell founder Ross Perchik scrambled to raise the money to ensure the show went on – that year and each year afterward. His death this spring put the continuation of the tradition in peril. A Go Fund Me page was launched after Clamshell Foundation members announced they couldn’t continue the show and would instead focus their efforts to the organization’s annual sandcastle contest. But, on Friday, Bill Kalbacher announced that thanks to a contribution from “a very generous family that wishes to remain anonymous,” the money -- $60,000 -- for the world class display had been secured. By Monday, in just two weeks, the Go Fund Me page displayed close to $18,000 in pledges from over 100 individuals. Kalbacher said the foundation will assist any new sponsor that wants to helm next year’s show with the transition.

Tuckahoe School O n Tu e s d a y, J u n e 7, a n d Thursday, June 9, Tuckahoe School was visited by the Southampton Traveling Historical Museum. The purpose of the Traveling Museum is to present authentic “documents” that teachers and students can use to research and understand the unique contributions that early settlers and town residents made to everyday life in Southampton Town. Mr. Strudenroth was here; spoke with our students and explained what each artifact was about. Conceived in 2015 by Hampton Bays Schools’
Superintendent Lars Clemensen, the “Traveling Museum” will visit Southampton Town’s schools in 2016 and bring the diversity of our historic resources directly to the students for study and observation. From the model of an ancient water wheel in Water Mill to a taxidermist’s “Pekin” Duck from Westhampton, and from carved artifacts from the Shinnecock Nation to images of the town’s Afro-American history from Eastville (Sag Harbor), the “Traveling Museum” encompasses over three centuries of local history and culture.

Special offers to encourage healthy activity and family bonding like going for hikes on some of the island’s trails and using bug repellent, were suggested. The ‘Peak Power Hour’ kite initiative, where kites will be available to borrow for participants who step out of their homes, turn down their air conditioning, and choose to spend time outdoors with their family and community was cited as a free activities for families. Chemicals and sustainable gardening practices were also a main focus of the symposium, with the emphasis on pollution of waterways and soil. With a confirmed 118 hazardous landscaping chemicals in the Long Island aquifer, and studies showing increased toxicity in local bodies of water, continued pollution can be devastating to local wildlife and residents. Discussions about these landscaping chemicals included the potential for landscapers, especially golf course groundskeepers, to have a dramatic increase in the likelihood of developing serious and often deadly medical issues like lymphoma. Children and pets are often exposed to these chemicals as well. Suggestions on how to reduce toxicity while keeping personal gardens and lawns looking pristine include natural fertilizers like using grass clippings in place. The panel also suggests talking to your licensed landscaper who is legally obligated under New York state law to disclose all practices and chemicals used in the care of your home. The experts noted that landscaping can be just as effective and beautiful using zone-friendly plants and natural fertilizers and pesticides as it is using harmful chemicals.

Rally To Ban Assault Weapons Don’t you think it’s time to ask about Air Conditioning? Protestors rallied outside of the Watermill Community House on Sunday. Among them was Anna Throne-Holst and her family.
One message was very clear on Sunday, enough is enough. Ninety people die every day in America due to gun-related incidents, and the East Hampton and Southampton Democratic Committees have had enough. At a rally at the Watermill Community House on Sunday, organizers made it clear that they did not want to infringe on the Second Amendment, but were strictly demonstrating in favor of a ban of assault weapons. It was evident from the reaction of drivers that they were not alone in their quest. Honking their horns and shouting agreements exemplified that there is a real desire for stricter gun control laws. “It’s about being able to go to school, the movies, and clubs without fear of an attack,” stated f o r m e r S o u t h a m p t o n To w n Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst who’s running for congress. She promised that, if elected, she would fight for common sense gun laws. L.F.

Throne-Holst vs. Calone Democrats will go to the polls Tuesday to decide whether David Calone or Anna Throne-Holst will represent the party in the race for the First Congressional seat currently held by Lee Zeldin, a Republican/Conservative. Both candidates bring impressive educational resumes into the fray: Calone holds an Economics degree from Princeton and a Harvard Law School degree. Throne-Holst has a Bachelor of Arts from American University and earned a Masters from the Columbia University School of International Affairs & Public Administration. After graduation Calone worked as a federal prosecutor and currently is CEO of Jove Equity Partners, a private equity and venture capitalist company. Throne-Holst, a co-founder of Hayground School, served as the Executive Director of the Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center before entering politics. She has spent the better part of the last decade in Southampton Town politics, first as a town board member and for three terms as town supervisor. Calone has no political experience beyond serving on the County Planning Commission as its chairman. Throne-Holst’s political experience is certainly a plus when we consider which of these two candidates can best serve our community. She’s navigated the muddy waters of party politics. She proven her ability to work with diverse political personalities, and she’s responded with strength and resolve when tested. Seats on the Planning Commission are by and large patronage appointments. Though the Commission has some clout, it sometimes acts as a rubber stamp for local planning and zoning boards – unless, of course, party politics get in the way, as is occasionally the case. It’s unfortunate this race has deteriorated somewhat, with political insiders manipulating the rhetoric. Like general elections, primaries are indeed a popularity contest, with a twist: the party is voting for the candidate with the best chance of winning in November and recapturing an important congressional seat. Make no mistake about it; Zeldin took out Tim Bishop, a six-term incumbent, and has quickly emerged as an up and coming Republican with solid financial backing. He will be a formidable candidate. In our opinion Throne-Holst, who has won each of her races easily, is likely to attract more voters than Calone in the General Election – as an Independent she has drawn votes from all of the other party lines in the past. Throne-Holst, a Noyac resident, is also better suited to lobby for the East End, where water quality and erosion issues are critical. Too often the Congress has overlooked our needs. Calone is from Brookhaven Town. The Independent urges Democrats to vote on Tuesday; we endorse Anna Throne-Holst because she has done a laudable job as supervisor, because she is the stronger candidate and yes, because she is one of us and therefore has a better grip on local issues.
IS IT JUST ME? The Senate made history with a bill requiring women to register for the draft, including combat duty. Women’s groups applauded the move but lobbied for a bill requiring men to register for diaper duty.

Try Jigging Light Bucktails 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.
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.
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.
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. A few fluke have been caught on the floating dock too.
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

Shark Tourney Bags A Big One
By Karen Fredericks
Should women have to register for the draft at 18 like men do? Kevin Weiss I think it would be constructive to have a woman’s point of view when you’re going to war. At a basic level it does seem fair that both men and women are called upon during a time of war. My mom was in the military. She wasn’t drafted but she did serve. Dylan Kennedy Yes. Women should serve in the military. If boys have to do it so should girls. My grandfather was in the Navy. Girls can do anything boys can do!
Lucas Brown In this day and age equality is important. Incorporating women in the military is a necessity. But we have to consider what each particular woman is capable of when it comes to the physical requirements and be sure they’re not being asked to do more than they’re capable of. Andrea Peralta No they shouldn’t have to register. It’s not fair because the girls have to help with the clothes and the house and the kids. They have to make the food for the family. There are a lot of things girls have to do that men don’t really do.

A 730-pound Mako shark was caught at the Star Island Yacht Club’s 30th Annual Shark Tournament by Chris Zaia aboard “Thor III,” last Thursday, the first day of the three-day event. Held each year over Father’s Day weekend, the competition yields not only trophies for the sportsmen, but valuable scientific research through the tagging and release of sharks that do not meet weight requirements. O Over 100 boats participated and a crowd of thousands enjoyed the festivities, marveled at the enormous catches, and watched the anglers set out and return to be awarded with daily prizes and the grand prize awarded at the tournament’s conclusion on Saturday.

Shinnecock Gets Yet Another U.S. Open Independent / Poster drawn by Elaine Faith Thompson
By Rick Murphy
The USGA didn’t even wait for the 2016 U.S. Open to end before announcing Oakmont will get another one. Oakmont, a suburb of Pittsburgh, was the site of this year’s event. USGA president Diana Murphy announced during the telecast Saturday that the U.S. Open will return to Oakmont in 2025. It will be the 10th time Oakmont hosts the U.S. Open in a span of just under 100 years. But almost as a sidebar M u r p h y dropped what for around these parts passes as a bombshell: Shinnecock Hills will host the 2026 U.S. Open. Previously Shinnecock was chosen to host the 2018 event as well. Shinnecock has been in the news recently because the club’s hierarchy, which includes the billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, has approached Southampton Town about privatizing a portion of Tuckahoe Road that intersects the course with an eye on making it easier for pedestrian traffic in 2018 – when it hosts the Open. Apparently, the fact that Shinnecock was angling for the 2026 Open didn’t come into play. Shinnecock Hills will be hosting its sixth U.S. Open in 2026 and will be the only course to host the championship six times in three centuries. The club is one of five that founded the USGA, but the most recent Open there, in 2004 ended controversially because of the extreme conditions of the golf course. “You can’t write the history of Shinnecock without writing the history of the USGA, and vice versa,” said Barrett N. Pickett, Shinnecock Hills president, to Gold Digest Sunday. “Our relationship today is stronger than ever. We are honored to host the 2026 U.S. Open, 130 years after our first in 1896.” Shinnecock Hills hosted the
second U.S. Open in 1896, and then waited 90 years before getting another one. That year, 1986, Raymond Floyd became the oldest player ever to win the Open at 43 years and nine months. Floyd shot a 66 while the round-third leader, Greg Norman faltered, ending with a 75, two strokes behind the winner. T he to u rna m ent wa s a ls o noteworthy for a shouting match
Floyd engaged in with a spectator that almost came to blows – the spectator was Sag Harbor local Tom “Turk” Early and the film clip of the altercation was shown all over the world, earning Turk eternal notoriety and bragging rights at local taverns. The 2004 event was also controversial: the scorched greens at Shinnecock were criticized by scores of players for being
unplayable. The Open returned to Shinnecock in 1995 (Corey Pavin won) and again in 2004, when Ratief Goosen took home the trophy. It’s interesting to note how the prize money has escalated: Floyd took home $115,000, Pavin $350,000 and Goosen $1.125 million. Dustin Johnson, this year’s winner, earned $1.8 million.

Luke Coulter To Run For Stony Brook By Rick Murphy
Independent / Courtesy RHSD
Luke Coulter
Luke Coulter, Curtis Flippen and Madilyn Batista at the Section XI All County Track and Field Dinner.
Senior track star Luke Coulter is the most highly decorated and accomplished male distance runner in Riverhead High School history: so good, in fact, that it was hard to believe the headline that read, “Coulter Second In State 800.” Indeed, Coulter outdistanced rivals in the 800-meter run all season, was well as dominating in the 1600M. It’s why he was recently named to the Newsday All-Long Island Track And Field Team. Turns out Coulter didn’t lose a race at the New York State Championships. In fact on June 9, in North Syracuse, Coulter displayed his usual explosive kick in the final heat, racing past the field to win comfortably in 1 minute, 53.47 seconds. He assumed he had won the medal, but in the wacky, antiquated world that is New York State Sports, the NYSPHHA governing body informed Coulter that in the preceding heat another runner, Eion Nohilly had crossed the finish line less a second faster; Nohilly was awarded the gold and Coulter, who had no opportunity to run against his would-be rival, took the silver. “I didn’t even look at the [other] times. I thought the only race that mattered was mine and I would do enough to win. And I did,” Coulter told Newsday diplomatically, though he was clearly disappointed. Prior to the State Championships a n d t h e Fe d e r a t i o n m e e t s , Coulter took the Division II 800 championship in 1:55.27. Coulter used his kick in the final 150 meters to outpace West Islip’s Kyle Kelly on the final straightaway. Riverhead High School senior Curtis Flippen won the Suffolk County Division II triple jump championship for the second consecutive year with a leap of 43 feet 2 inches on his second attempt of the competition, beating Copiague senior Marcus Weeks. Coulter, Flippen and Madilyn Batista recently attended the Section XI All County Track and Field Dinner and received All-County recognition.

Riverhead Still Unbeaten; Westhampton Surging By Rick Murphy
It’s 10 and counting for Riverhead, off to the best start in the history of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League. But despite the Tomcats quick start they have been unable to shake the surging Westhampton Aviators, who have won eight of their last nine games. On Saturday the Aviators, now 10-3 on the season, showed their hometown fans their strength, overpowering Southampton in both games of a doubleheader. The victories gave Westhampton their seventh and eighth straight wins at Aviator Field. Matt Dunlevy walloped a grand slammer in the bottom of the fourth as the Aviators scored five times. The Aviators had an eight-run lead in the top of the sixth before Southampton got on the board. Reiss Knehr turned in five shutout innings, yielding only one hit, to pick up the win. Turner French recorded the last four outs for the Aviators to earn his third save of the season. Jacob Jaye also went deep and had two ribbies for the inners. The finale was 9-4. Southampton scored first in the nightcap when Bill Schlich singled to score Josiah Gray as the two teams locked into a pitcher’s duel for five innings, when Westhampton tied the score. T h e n D u n l e v y, J a y e a n d Trey Silvers all walked in runs. The Aviators’ starter StigErik McElhinney, a six-one lefty, took it from there, going the distance and allowing only three hits and no earned runs as the home team completed the sweep, 7-1. Riverhead traveled to Southampton Sunday and came home with its tenth straight, a hard fought 11-8 affair. Joe Flynn went 3-5, scored twice and batted in three runs. Stephen Haring also laced three hits including a homer and is hitting .444 on the young season. Flynn also earned the victory pitching in relief. Gable Whitacre and Hunter Courson went deep for the losers. Friday Riverhead improved to 9-0 by edging Montauk 3-1. Frank Valentino homered and pitched four shutout innings to
keep Riverhead’s unbeaten streak going. Valentino got his third victory in three appearances on the mound. Leadoff man extraordinaire Tim DeGraw drilled two more hits and is hitting .448 for the season. He is a freshman at Yale. North Fork (9-7), Sag Harbor (5-8), Montauk (5-9), Shelter Island (3-8) and Southampton Breakers (4-10) complete the standings after three weeks of action.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
Measuring The World Since Ancient Times In Ancient Ways If there is any discipline that has more ancient roots than voyaging over the seas, and whose ancient ways still work today, I’d like to know. Since time immemorial, even in an age of GPS and knowing where you are on the planet within feet, the ways of the ancient mariners still are useful today – especially when your GPS fails on a dark and rainy night.
Shores Of Ancient Babylon If you measured the time from when Julius Caesar walked the earth to today, and doubled it, you wouldn’t be within a 1000 years of when the Babylonians were inventing, among many things, astronomy and the “sexagesimal” counting system – a numbering system that uses 60 as its base instead of 10 (the way we count.) Ten is a pretty good “base” when you come along with 10 fingers – unless you are dealing with things that come in a circle. Time and angles (circles) are actually ideally suited for “base 60” – 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 360 degrees. Whether the Babylonians used latitude and longitude like we do today is an open question. Without question though, about 3000 years after the Babylonians invented the sexagesimal system, a Greek named Hipparchus, knowing the earth was round, (yes, Columbus, round) divided the world into latitude and longitude in 130 BC. Thus were born degrees, minutes and seconds. One minute of latitude (not longitude!) equaled one nautical mile and sixty of them became one degree. So 360 degrees got you all the way around the world in nautical miles. In that we live in a digital age, we can express a location today in any one of three equivalent ways, depending on how numerical intensive you are. The Moriches Inlet can be said to be at any of these three lat/lon coordinates 40o 45’ 49” N x 072o 45’ 18” W, or 40o 45.817’ N x 072o 45.3’ W, or 40.76317o N x 072.755o W. It is exactly the same place – just expressed in varying forms of math. Converting one to the other is either dividing by 60 (18 seconds is 3/10ths of minute) or by multiplying by 60 (.817 of a minute is 49 seconds.) If you are giving, or getting, latitudes and longitudes from
someone (as in a favorite fishing spot), be sure you are able to convert the form they give you to the form you use on your boat. And thank the Babylonians!
By King Henry’s Foot As school children, we were often taught that the foot was (roughly) the size of a Roman soldier’s foot. A lot of empires came and went since the Roman Empire so the foot actually changed size through history as nutrition and health created new average foot sizes. Around 1100 AD, King Henry the First set what was the foot for the next 766 years. Congress set the foot as 1,200/3,937th of a meter in 1866. What does that have to do with seamanship? Hard to fathom? No, that is exactly why it matters. Take a line in one hand, stretch your arms fully out and grab the line now with both hands – and you have the ancient fathom. Lay that line on the ground and go heelto-toe along it and you will find it pretty close to six of your feet. It is all Greek to me!
www.indyeastend.com
A b o u t 10 0 y e a r s b e f o r e Hipparchus divided the world into latitudes and longitudes, Eratosthene did some pretty clever geometry with wells in his hometown of Alexandria and an Egyptian town named Syene – that happened to be on the Tropic of Cancer. In 240 BC, he calculated that the Earth was 25,000 miles around. Divide that number by 360 degrees and further by 60 minutes and you get the ancient nautical mile – 6100 feet. With space-age advances, we now know that, using the WGS84 Ellipsoid in your GPS, 1 minute of latitude at the WGS84 equator is 6087 feet and at the poles is 6067 feet. Not bad for Greek mathematician nearly 2500 years in the past. Want to sound seamanly? When someone next asks, “How fast are we going?” and the GPS is measuring miles per hour, quickly multiply that MPH by .85 (85%) and you’ll be pretty close to spot on.
June 22, 2016
25mph x .85 = 21.3 knots. “We’re doing just better than 21 knots. At this rate, we’ll be in Montauk by . . . ” Or, if your GPS is in knots, and some says, ‘So, how fast are we going in MPH?,’ just multiply that by 1.15 and you’ll be pretty close to spot on again. 20 knots x 1.15 = 23 mph. And why do we call speed through the water (or via a plane for that matter) a knot? Ancient sailors counted how many knots, tied in a line exactly 47.25 feet apart, went through a counter in 28 seconds. Sorry you asked? Don’t be. The ratio of 47.25 feet to the nautical mile is equal to the ratio of 28 seconds to an hour, nautical miles per hour, a knot. 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.”
