To Resurrect Scuttled Shuttle?

By Kitty Merrill

What’s a quarter century among friends? Or, two and a half decades among government and a public benefit corporation?

That’s how long commuters and local elected officials on the South Fork have been clamoring for increased train service and, especially, shuttle service to ease congestion on the highway.

That’s how long Assemblyman Fred Thiele has been trying to make it happen.

This week he had good news.

He said he’s “very optimistic” that a shuttle service could come to fruition in the not too distant future.

In a release last Friday, the assemblyman reported having a productive meeting with LIRR President Patrick Nowakowski. Its outcome? One step closer to a South Fork commuter shuttle.

“For years, I have pursued the expansion of public transportation opportunities on the South Fork as a means of reducing traffic congestion, mitigating the impact

on climate from automobile traffic, and providing residents with greater and long overdue options for mobility than just the automobile,” Thiele reminded. In 2007 and 2008 when the expansion of County Road 39 was underway, a pilot shuttle program was used to help mitigate the traffic impacts of the construction.

Back then the train traveled from Westhampton to East Hampton, with riders catching busses to connect to Springs and Montauk.

There were two extra trains in the morning and one in the afternoon.

It helped.

In recent years, the aid to congestion the widening of CR39 provided dissipated as the population – of summer visitors, of out of town contractors – continued to surge. Now, said Thiele, “The traffic is back with a vengeance.”

After the success of the pilot shuttle program, Thiele pushed for $37.5 million in the MTA Capital Budget for 2013 for special lighter diesel trains to provide permanent shuttle service.

But the railroad was never able to

find the lighter diesels that would be compatible with the LIRR system and meet federal regulations, he explained. “As a result, nearly a decade after the successful pilot program, no permanent action has been taken by the LIRR, with no prospects that things would change.

Meanwhile, traffic congestion continues to worsen across the South Fork, as witnessed by the recent Memorial Day weekend.”

The assemblyman said it was a pleasant surprise when Nowakowski contacted him and indicated willingness to at least review the idea of establishing a year-round commuter shuttle service. Similar to that of 2007, the service will use existing diesel locomotives, and provide two trains in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Saturday’s symposium, from 9 AM to 1 PM, features Charles Birnbaum, President & CEO, as well as founder, of The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TLCF); Andrea Cochran, owner of Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture and winner of the 2014 Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in Landscape Architecture; and Darrel Morrison, teacher of landscape architecture/design for over 45 years and advocate of design informed and inspired by observations of the naturally-evolving landscape.

In addition, a representative from Perfect Earth Project will speak about the organization’s mission.

Landscape Pleasures 2016 honors the memory of long-time committee member, Jack deLashmet.

“It is our honor to hold this year’s event in memory of landscape architect and author Jack deLashmet,” said Nancy Hardy, Parrish Trustee and close friend of the late committee member. “His passion and vision for the art of landscape design embodies the spirit of this special weekend.”

On Sunday, from 10 AM to 3 PM, ticket holders can participate in selfguided tours of private gardens at the estates of Michael Forman and Jennifer Rice designed by landscape architects Oehme van Sweden, Herbert and Karen Friedman, Victoria & Jack Rovner, and Loren Skeist and Marlene Marko.

GRINDING & BUMPING MY WAY THROUGH ADOLESCENCE So after my ranting and raving about the Della Femina Curse against anyone who scheduled any event outside of the Hamptons between Memorial Day and Labor Day, guess who missed spending last weekend in the Hamptons?

Me. It was my wife’s, the beautiful Judy Licht’s, (blank) reunion at Connecticut College for Women. I won’t tell you which year reunion this was for Judy because I’ve reached that stage of my life where I no longer write or say anything about Judy that would ultimately cause trauma to a certain part of my body.

My motto is: Never challenge a small, volatile woman who wears pointy shoes.

The trip was fun. We drove up to the beautiful Connecticut

College campus in New London.

At the college I heard someone tell Judy “You look wonderful” approximately 246,000 times.

And close to a million times I heard, “You look exactly like you did when you we were in school.”

Thankfully no one looked at me and told her, “Isn’t nice you brought your father to this reunion.”

In the car on the way home I plugged in my iPod and played the rock and roll music I grew up with in high school. (Judy, as we all know, was in nursery school at the time.)

The songs I played were “Earth Angel” by The Penguins, “Sincerely”

by The Moonglows, and “Pledging My Love” by Johnny Ace. Then the song “Dedicated to the One I Love”

by The Shirelles came on and Judy said to me, “That was one of THOSE songs.”

REAL ESTATE

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

“What does that mean, THOSE songs?” I asked.

“You know, like Mindy Carson singing the dance that was called ‘The Fish.’ God, it was awful the way boys used those songs to grind themselves into girls.

“They would bump and grind into you as hard as they could.”

Now, I can’t dance to save my life.

I am the worst dancer in the world.

When Judy and I got married I was looking for a stand-in to have the first dance with her.

I come from a long line of awkward, clumsy dancers. My mother and father attempting to dance at my wedding were the worst. Their dancing looked like an event at the handicapped Olympics.

But I must say I was like Fred Astaire when it came to doing “The Fish.” I would bump, I would grind, I would work myself into a red-faced perspiring frenzy.

Suddenly I went back a million years and I was 15 years old, dancing in Sandy’s basement (last name withheld in case there is not a statute of limitations for things you did when you were 15 years old in the basement with Sandy and her friends).

“The Fish” was put on the turntable. The lights were turned down low and “The Fish” would play over and over. The words are forever locked in my brain: “The Fish. Is it a salmon that comes in a can?

(Chorus): No no no no no.

Is it a flounder that you fry in a pan?

No no no no no.

What is this new dance I’m asking you, man?

IN THE NEWS

They call it The Fish.

Roll a little left foot, 1 2 3.

Rock little right foot, bend your knee.

Use the ocean motion, calm and cool.

Rock and roll your baby, that’s the only rule.”

My favorite part was the “ocean motion” part. I don’t mean to boast, but when I did the “ocean motion,” the tide was always going out, if you know what I mean.

Never once in those days did a girl I was dancing with bump or grind back. Good thing, too. I would have passed out from excitement.

Now you have to understand that what boys were bumping and grinding against was something every girl wore in those days — a panty girdle. This was sort of like a hard elastic body armor. A boy bumping against a panty girdle could damage himself for life if he caught the hard edge of the panty girdle the wrong way during a bump or a grind.

Also, if one got lucky and found himself in a position where one could work his hand under a panty girdle, then one had to deal with the dangers of the elastic cutting off circulation in the fingers. Gangrene caused by a hand’s lengthy stay under a panty girdle was a real fear in those days.

And bras weren’t the wispy, dainty things they are today. They had these hard plastic bones in them for shape. I always worried about losing an eye from a snapping bone if I got too close to a bra with my head.

I tell you, kids don’t know how great they have it these days.

CAC Eyes EECO Farm

By Kitty Merrill

They want to review the lease, and they want the town attorney with them when they do so. They want a third party to conduct tests of the water and soil. And, most of all, they want the signs that advise children and pregnant women to wear masks while working the land to be re-posted.

The East End Community Organic Farm was on the East Hampton/ Sag Harbor Citizens Advisor y Committee’s agenda Monday night and members want answers.

Concerns about safety at the farm -- high levels of pesticides and carcinogens in the soils and water, and the inherent health threat -have been discussed “for years” by the group, chair Katy Casey noted.

For this discussion, several community members were in attendance. Rona Klopman, a member of the town’s Environmental Health Committee (it’s since been

EECO FARM Rebuts John Castoro, a member of EECO Farm’s board of directors, responded to assertions made

by CAC members yesterday morning.

That cautionary signs have been removed is not true, he said. Instead farm staff moved the signs to “a more permanent” location – near the tool shed and walkin at the back of the property. When the signs were out in front, they kept getting knocked down, he explained.

The new location is “highly visible” to any of the resident gardeners, he said.

It was never a stipulation of the lease that signs be placed out in front of the farm. Nor is it a requirement that children or pregnant women wear masks while working the soil or visiting. That’s left to the discretion of anyone supervising children at the site, Castoro said.

Applications for plots include a cautionary statement, as well, the board member said. It’s in “large, bold print” attached to applications online.

Finally, Castoro said EECO Farm officials met with town counterparts earlier this year to discuss compliance with their lease. Town staff signed off and, he said “We haven’t heard otherwise.”

abandoned), Elaine Jones, member of the town’s agriculture committee, Stefanie Sacks, author and culinary educator who specializes in treating cancer patients, and Larry Penny, who was East Hampton’s director of Natural Resources for decades.

Penny’s been at the forefront of the effort to ensure safety at the Long Lane property since before the town even purchased it at the turn of the century.

Back then, the East Hampton School district considered acquiring the 42-acre site to expand the high school campus and construct athletic fields. However, tests of the soil and water revealed high concentrations of pesticides and carcinogens like arsenic, DDT, and

lead, prompting an outcry from parents, and the district backed off the idea.

The town purchased the land and in 2002 leased it to EECO Farm for just $1 a year. Subsequent soil and water tests over the years continued to show high levels of toxins, and town officials directed EECO Farm to post warning signs on the property, advising people to wear masks and avoid breathing in the dust and to refrain from drinking the water. Those signs were recently removed, it was noted at Monday night’s meeting.

Arsenic was used by potato farmers years ago, to kill weeds and beetles. It stays in the soil. It leeches into some vegetables, like cucumbers, grown in the soil.

While it‘s likely present in any local farm field, the CAC has particular interest in EECO Farm because the land belongs to the

town and East Hampton Town could be liable for any illness that results from hands-in-the-dirt farming sans safety precautions.

After rounds of tests showed startling levels of toxins in the soil, town officials discussed and ultimately rejected methods of purifying the dirt. Strategies like removal of yards of soil to a certain depth or using special ferns to pull pesticides from the ground were rejected due to their high cost.

The last tests undertaken by the town took place about six years ago. CAC members want to see new tests, and want to make sure they’re conducted by an independent third party. Having EECO Farm oversee the tests was likened to “a fox n the hen house” by one speaker Monday night.

Committee member Kay Hutton has had a plot at EECO Farm for Continued on Page 22.

Honoring Pyrrhus Concer Through Archaeological Record

By Carrie Catherine Holmes

“Though Born A Slave He Possessed Those Virtues, Without Which, Kings But Are But Slaves.”

The entrepreneurial spirit, adventurous soul, and American success story of former slave turned successful business owner and ferry Captain, Pyrrhus Concer (1848 – 1897), will be preserved, thanks to a three-day archaeological dig in Southampton village at 51 Pond Lane, the site of his former home that began last Saturday.

The effort to record and document artifacts and structures is intended to shed more light on Southampton village’s African

American history and will become a historical landmark as well as a museum and educational center honoring Concer’s legacy. The founder of Agawam Lake’s first ferry service, Concer’s life includes passage upon the Manhattan, which was the first foreign ship to make contact with Japan, where a monument still stands honoring the former slave turned whaler and entrepreneur.

Spearheading the preservation effort are Brenda Simmons (Director of the Southampton African American Museum) with Georgette Grier-Key (president of the Association of Suffolk County Historical Societies), Tom Edmonds (Southampton Historical Museum),

A Message from Hampton Septic Services When it comes to Septic Systems most homeowners take the “Out of Sight Out of Mind” approach. If you don’t see it, you don’t have any nasty odors and septic backing up then why have it serviced? This way of thinking can cost you a lot of time and even more money!

At Hamptons Septic Services OUR approach is to be Proactive rather than Reactive. More often than not, new customers contact us because their Septic System is failing at which point it becomes very difficult to control. Signs that your Septic System is failing can come in the form of simultaneously slow drainage and/or water backing up in tubs, sinks, toilets, washing machines, unusual gurgling sounds when running water, increasingly unpleasant odors in and around the house, discoloring and softening of your lawn, and depressions in the soil around the system.

The good news is YES, IT IS POSSIBLE to prevent septic back-ups!

Our customers receive recommended routine maintenance pumping which allows proper functionality of their septic systems preventing the unknown.

understandIng your sePtIc system: The components of modern septic systems are a house sewer drain, a septic tank, a cesspool, and the soil absorption field.

Some older homes have only a cesspool ring acting as the primary Septic Tank which then leaches directly to the soil.

When you run water or flush a toilet the discharge from the drain is first collected by the Septic Tank. The Septic Tank is designed to separate waste, solids sink to the bottom forming the sludge layer and the lighter solids such as grease rise to the surface forming the scum layer. Between the solid and scum layers is the waste water layer which will eventually drain to the Cesspool where it then slowly leaches out into the ground to be biologically treated by the soil. common sePtIc system Issues: After the Septic Tank separates waste, the solids that remain in the tank are meant to break down over time, but often the rate of solid accumulation exceeds the rate of the breakdown causing the solids to overflow to the cesspool and ground, eventually causing backup of septic in the yard or house. Frequent removal and pumping of the solids in the Septic Tank will prevent system back-ups.

Other reasons for poor drainage of your system could be frequent rainfall, or close proximity to beaches and oceans where the water tables are higher. In this case your system capacity may need to be increased by adding additional Cesspools.

A WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Hamptons Septic Services 631-267-7515

www.hamptonssepticservice.com

the more you know...the more you save how often should I PumP my sePtIc tank: There are many variables which will determine how often you should have your system pumped. The New York State Department of Health recommends having your system, pumped out every two to three years. If you have a garbage disposal, live close to a body of water, have a smaller or older septic system then you may want to have it pumped more frequently.

I have no Idea where to fInd my sePtIc tank, can you locate It? Yes! We can locate your septic system using many techniques. We recommend locating your system prior to needing it serviced. If you wait to locate your system in an emergency it can become very messy and costly. what should not go Into the sePtIc system?

Septic systems are designed to treat domestic waste water produced from routine activities such as bathing, toilets, dishwashers and washing machines. Do not drain or flush harsh chemicals, paint, solvents, paint cleaners and degreasers, and pesticides. Refrain from disposing of latex products, feminine hygiene products, baby or personal wipes and any other dense waste.

2) What is your vision for your community?

While the teens were smiling and joking, the responses were telling: they spoke to fears of deportation, violence, not having a future, discrimination and drugs. The vision for their communities spoke of offering more information to Latino parents of students, ending discrimination, helping those who are being discriminated against, and providing more books in Spanish.

OLA (Organización Latino-Americana) was founded in 2002 as a nonprofit agency committed to promoting social, economic, cultural, and educational development within Long Island’s East End Latino / Hispanic communities. Arts, Education and Advocacy is the group’s focus.

Through its own programming initiatives and ongoing local collaborations, OLA strives to empower, inform and celebrate our varied Latino and Hispanic communities while building bridges within the larger East End community that help to foster understanding and harmony.

The LIRR will meet with East End officials next month to begin to strategize.

That’s key, Thiele noted.

Suffolk County, local towns, villages, and businesses need to sign on in support -- and offer support -- of the shuttle. Connecting transportation to employment centers and public outreach to ensure a sustainable ridership will be an integral aspect of garnering a commitment from LIRR. Thiele views the LIRR’s willingness to reopen exploration of a shuttle as the first positive development for increased South Fork service in years. Till now, interest in pursuing the idea was “half-hearted at best,” he said.

Still, the assemblyman said, “It will take a concerted effort among the LIRR, local government, business leaders, and the community to make this successful.”

“There certainly is great potential for success,” Thiele said Monday. He allowed the service will take time to get up and running.

“This is a service for year round residents,” the assemblyman emphasized. “It’s important to take the time and do it right. We’ve CONTINUED ON PAGE 22.

Montauk

Blessing of the Fleet The annual Blessing of the Fleet will be held this Sunday, beginning at 5 PM. It is not only a memorial for the local fishermen, deckhands, and captains of private, charter, and commercial boats, but also a celebration of the summer fishing season. Boats steam out into Block Island Sound where they are later met by the USCG and memorial wreaths are cast into the sea to commemorate the lives of any members of the fishing community that may have passed in the previous year.

This summer tradition began in Montauk in 1955.

Greens On The Green The Montauk Farmers Market on the Green returns tomorrow to downtown Montauk and will be there every Thursday from 9 AM to 2 PM through the summer. The market is sponsored by Montauk Chamber of Commerce and also raises funds for the Montauk Food Pantry to which $7388 was donated

last year.

The market offers fresh produce from local farmers, baked goods, gourmet specialties and a great selection of local wines. This year, 35 vendors are participating, including five newcomers. They are Clarkson Ave Crumb Cakes, Hampton Chocolate Factory, Lady J Seafood, Pete’s Endless Summer, and The Glowing Tent.

Trying To Fund Fireworks

A gofundme site has been set up to raise money to keep the Great Bonac Fireworks going.

With the passing of Ross Perchik, who rescued the show several years ago after its future was imperiled by the closure of Boys Harbor, the Clamshell Foundation is unable to continue to underwrite the ’works.

According to a statement by the Foundation, “Rossetti’s personal financial contributions were primarily responsible for making the fireworks happen since The Clamshell Foundation took them over. In following with Rossetti’s wishes, The Clamshell Foundation will solely be focusing its efforts on the premiere fundraising event, The Sandcastle Contest, to ensure we can continue giving out annual scholarships to EHHS students and to help protect our local waters and beaches.

100% of all profits go back to our community.

“The 25th Annual Sandcastle Contest will take place on August 6 at Atlantic Avenue Beach in Amagansett from 9 AM to 4 PM.” Community members are trying to raise $60,000 in 20 days to cover the cost of the show.

In one day, 32 people pledged $4820. Visit gofundme.com, the great bonac fireworks show, to donate.

continuing to work on solidifying a relationship between the two cities through Riverhead’s kickoff of the Alive on 25 Summer Street Festival. Earlier this year, Riverhead Business Improvement District (BID) approached the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce to discuss working together to create a similar event to their highly successful Alive After Five®.

Patchogue Chamber Executive Director David Kennedy enthusiastically embraced the relationship and has since been instrumental in guiding Riverhead planners.

“Patchogue’s Alive After Five® has such great attendance that we are happy to give our attendees the opportunity to attend a similar event on alternating Thursday nights,” said Kennedy. A cross-promotional campaign has been laid out to include shared media coverage of both events to encourage people to experience both Main Street events.

The series of events will kickoff in Patchogue on Thursdays, starting July 7 and alternating weeks between the two towns for four weeks each. Alive on 25 will be held July 14, July 28, August 11 and August 25 on Main Street in downtown Riverhead.

T he A l i v e o n 2 5 P l an n i n g Committee reports that there will be a healthy participation of Main Street restaurants and bars offering food and beverage service in the street, with several top Long Island bands playing each night at various locations.

Alive on 25 is free and open to the public and will offer assorted fare with food trucks, local craft beverages, local wines, craft vendors, artist exhibits, as well as family friendly activities. A popular classic car cruise night will be featured as well.

Alive after Five® has been a key part of the revitalization and growth in Patchogue, what many people consider to be a sister town of Riverhead in many ways.

According to Riverhead BID Vice President Steven Shauger, “We’re looking forward to providing a similar experience for visitors and local businesses alike.”

The festival starts at 5 PM and ends at approximately 9:30 PM. For more information, visit Aliveon25. com and AliveAfterFive.com.

Alive on 25 is a free summer street festival in Downtown Riverhead offering local craft beverages and wine, live music, artists, street vendors and plenty of activities for all. Main Street will close to traffic to allow for a walkable, popup music festival and restaurant offerings, artist exhibitions, free community dance lessons and family-friendly activities.

Attention: Business and Homeowners You May be Eligible for a Septic System Rebate The State may be allocating up to $100 million dollars to the East End to upgrade residential septic systems.

There are 81,000 aging cesspools on the East End that are leeching harmful chemicals into our bays and groundwater. New systems can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $10,000.

Don’t be fooled by cesspool company gimmicks. Treating cesspools and drywells by aeration and acid methods to create temporary pathways for drainage, in fact drives pollutants downward that accelerates the failure of your drainage system as well as harms sensitive groundwater aquifers.

With ESi, there may be no need to replace your septic system and still qualify for a rebate. Their time honored method will completely extract the accumulated greases and sediment by excavating a cavity and removing the pollutants down to clean native sand. ESi will then introduce new sand to create a filtering buffer and support structural integrity.

LIPA, PSEG Mean Double Trouble To Many Locals

By Rick Murphy

East End electric users have been dealing with some of the highest rates in the country for so long it has become a standing joke.

At this point some Long Islanders aren’t even sure what company is their provider and whom they pay the bill to.

Albany lawmakers say change is needed, and Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle have introduced a bill in Albany to address some of the shortcomings and abuses they say are rampant.

For the record, PSEG is your utility company and the guys you pay your money to.

A WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Hamptons Septic Services 631-267-7515 www.HamptonsSepticService.com

Well, not really. PSEG Long Island is actually a private, shareholder driven company whose parent company is in New Jersey.

The Long Island Power Authority oversees PSEG-LI. LIPA is technically a “Municipal Subdivision” of New York State. That means LIPA is a public benefits corporation.

It operates like a quasi-private corporation with a board of directors appointed by elected officials, in this case the Governor, and the leaders of the State Assembly and Senate. As such, LIPA is exempt from many state and local regulations.

The Long Arm Of The Law Being trained law officers, it didn’t take East Hampton Village Police but a moment to recognize the telltale clues: “Yard Sale” signs, two of them, one up the block from the other on Mill Hill Lane in East Hampton Village on Memorial Day. Shrewdly, the officers, moving quietly but swiftly, were on the trail, and then they saw it -- not a sign, but the real thing: a yard sale.

The guilty party was told to remove the signs, which are illegal in the Village, or face the consequence.

The perp didn’t tempt his fate: he quickly tore the signs down.

LIPA still approves rates and administers the contract with PSEG-LI. “I opposed this deal”, Thiele recalled. “There is virtually no oversight or transparency. It’s a sweet deal for PSEG . . . they got a three-year rate increase and debt has increased by over $1 billion,” Thiele added.

LIPA and it’s predecessor, LILCO are explored in greater detail elsewhere in this issue.

LIPA was created in 1986 when it became apparent the closure of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was imminent. It was to be a vehicle to handle the massive debt accumulated by LILCO. “The Legislature created LIPA in 1986 to take over LILCO and close Shoreham,” recalled Thiele. “Instead the State entered into an agreement to have LIPA buy Shoreham and close it. LILCO continued to operate.

This was Mario Cuomo’s plan and did not require legislative approval.

It was a disaster.”

The Shoreham plant was a fiasco from the get go, with substandard materials, mob involvement, and cost overruns the norm rather than the exception.

Governor Cuomo originally supported the idea of creating the Long Island Power Company as a means of not only handling the LILCO debt but also reducing rates.

It was supposed to be run by an elected board, but that never came to pass.

Malfeasance “I always felt the federal government bore a lot of responsibility for the LIPA debt,” said State Senator Ken LaValle, who has held his seat since 1976 and is one of the few politicians to have dealt with all the Long Island electric providers. “There was so much malfeasance and cost overruns. The feds kept issuing bonds and they should have picked up the debt.”

Instead, Cuomo, in a back room deal, “took care of the [LILCO] shareholders at the expense of the taxpayers,” LaValle charged.

The rest is history. LIPA, limited

by high rates let its infrastructure slip. Response time to power outages was dreadful and got worse.

Finally, after the Superstorm Sandy debacle, Governor Andrew Cuomo – ironically Mario’s son arbitrarily awarded PSEG the nuts and bolts job of providing electricity to Long Islanders.

“My personal opinion is the Governor realized if we had another disaster the people would point the finger at him,” said Gordian Raacke, the Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island.

“A f t e r S a n d y m o s t o f t h e operating authority was transferred to PSEG-LI and LIPA became mostly just a holding company,” Thiele

eight different districts created across Long Island.

The elected LIPA board will have, “full discretion to consider a rate increase including consideration of the economic impact on ratepayers and the region.”

Most important, for the first time ever, a public referendum will be held before LIPA is allowed to issue more debt, and public hearings will be required in all eight sectors before a proposed rate increase goes forward.

“We would have s municipal utility fashioned after the Los Angeles system,” LaValle said.

“We would protect the interest of ratepayers and not shareholders.

It Began With LILCO . . .

By Rick Murphy

Remember LILCO? There was a time when Long Island’s only utility company was a stock market favorite delivering steady dividends as well as reasonably affordable electricity.

Founded in 1911, the company prospered for many years but in 1973 LILCO made a fateful decision:

to build a nuclear power plant in East Shoreham on the shores of Long Island Sound.

It wasn’t unusual for utilities to consider and even build nuclear plants in those days. With the cold war still raging, oil prices creeping up, and demand rising, nuclear energy was thought to be a relatively clean, stable, alternative.

Where can our passion take your business?

Our expanded network of more than 40 branches means we can bring our passion for community banking to businesses from Montauk to Manhattan.

Member FDIC

Community banking from Montauk to Manhattan 631.537.1000 I bridgenb.com

But the 1979 leak at a plant on Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania made the public aware that nuclear energy had its pitfalls, and a group of Long Islanders began questioning the wisdom of opening a plant in Shoreham.

I n 19 8 3 S u f f o l k C o u n t y announced that a study concluded Long Island could not be safely evacuated should a disaster occur at the plant. Governor Mario Cuomo ordered lawmakers to refuse to enforce a LILCO evacuation plan that the company said would work.

The plant was completed in 1984 and operated at five percent power for two years while LILCO parried with the state and local opponents about the safety of the plant. In 1995 the utility took weeks to recover from Hurricane Gloria, further eroding public confidence.

The Chernobyl meltdown in 1986 was the final nail in the coffin: the public did not want a nuclear facility on Long Island. Under intense pressure, LILCO agreed shutter Shoreham. That left the company $6 billion in debt.

It’s stock reeling and investors unhappy; politicians scurried to ease the financial disaster. Under the Long Island Power Act LIPA (Long Island Power Company) was created to effectively take over LILCO. Long Islanders were initially

excited: the LIPA board was to be elected by the public.

“It was to be a win-win situation for everybody. Shoreham would remain shuttered, LILCO’s shareholders would get out whole and the ratepayers would get a decrease,” wrote Michael Dawidziak in Newsday.

Instead, the state entered private negotiations with LILCO and appointed the LIPA board members. “The state’s settlement deal, which was eventually put into effect, placed 100 percent of the socalled ‘prudent’ costs of Shoreham -- estimated at the time at $6 billion -- on the ratepayers,” Newsday reported.

On May 27, 1988 LILCO ceased functioning, “People are going to be getting the largest single across-the-board rate reduction in the United States of America,” said Richard M. Kessel, the chairman of LIPA announced. It never came to pass.

“This was Mario Cuomo’s plan and did not require legislative approval. It was a disaster that placed most of the financial burden on the ratepayers and not the shareholders,” said Assemblyman Fred Thiele this week. “We’re still paying for it today.”

“It could have been worse,” State Senator Ken LaValle said wryly.

“They had proposals for [nuclear] plants all over the East End.” I r o n i c a l l y, n u c l e a r p o w e r, which at one point was billed as the solution to the country’s dependence on foreign oil, was the reason LILCO unraveled.

“LILCO was a great company until Shoreham, which began its downfall,” Thiele noted. ”Until then rates were competitive and customer satisfaction was good.”

The Formation Of LIPA Independent / Rick Murphy

LIPA technically still oversees the distribution of electricity on Long Island but PSEG does the actual work.

By Rick Murphy

The Long Island Power Authority was formed to effect a transition from a near bankrupt LILCO to a functioning electric provider in the wake of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant closure. It was supposed to be a vehicle to help ratepayers.

Its board was to be elected by ratepayers. It would answer to the people.

Things never turned out that way.

LIPA was originally charged with handling the $6 billion in debt LILCO had accrued without raising electric rates.

The vision was to have a LIPA board comprised of community activists and alternate power visionaries who would transcend how typical utilities worked – answering first to their shareholders instead of their ratepayers.

LIPA acquired Long Island Lighting’s transmission and electric distribution system in 1988 – but by then Governor Mario Cuomo had already decided to appoint the LIPA board rather than let the people chose their own representatives and was meeting privately with the

June 8, 2016

LILCO hierarchy.

“Cuomo postponed the election o f t h e L I PA b o a r d a n d k e p t postponing it every two years,” recalled State Senator Ken LaValle.

“He was very angry with me that I didn’t support him.”

“Cuomo wanted LIPA to bail out LILCO and he was afraid an elected LIPA board wouldn’t do that,” said Gordian Raacke the Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island.

Cuomo prevailed, and LIPA effectively bailed out LILCO by passing the debt to ratepayers who are still paying for it today.

Under the plan, LIPA acquired LILCO through a leveraged buy-out using borrowed funds to finance the takeover and the cash flow of the acquired company is used to repay the debt. LIPA issued tax-exempt municipal bonds – about $8 billion billion - through multiple offerings.

LIPA was given tax-exempt

status, which is probably why it still remains a legal entity today.

Any hope of a rate decline quickly evaporated. In fact, rates went up and service worsened.

LIPA’s electrical system serviced about 1.1 million customers into its brand name, and National Grid (previously Keyspan) maintained a system under the auspices of LIPA that expired in 2013.

The companies hit rock bottom after the woeful response to Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and many key management and board

B-5

members of LIPA resigned in its wake.

Governor Andrew Cuomo then unilaterally enlisted PSEG New Jersey to take over the day-to-day affairs of LIPA. Though PSEG is running the show, LIPA is the titular head. “They kept LIPA as a shell company,” Raacke said. “The problem is LIPA is an authority supposed to act in the public’s best interest. PSEG is making decisions in the best interests of its shareholders.”

Ralph V. Suozzi is the current LIPA Chairman. He is a former business executive with more than 30 years experience including CBS Television and American Express.

Suozzi also served as Mayor of the City of Glen Cove, from 2006-2013.

Alternate Power On Tap

Independent / Rick Murphy

The old brush dump on Old Northwest Road in East Hampton is slated to become a solar farm.

By Rick Murphy

Even if electrical rates weren’t sky high, and even if current forms of power didn’t pollute the universe, and even if our country didn’t rely on foreign oil . . . Clean Energy is the way to go.

So says Gordian Raacke, the Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island. Raacke has been saying as much for years, and local municipalities are hearing the siren call.

“Christmas Palm”

Last year East Hampton Town drafted a Climate Action Plan – Raacke is on the committee that drafted the plan. The goal is an ambitious one: “To meet 100 percent of community wide electricity consumption with renewable energy sources by the year 2020.”

The goal works on several levels including environmental and financial.

Deepwater Wind has a proposal to take the concept off the drawing board and into the community.

The company is proposing to supply capacity and renewable energy from an offshore wind farm, a 90 megawatt, 15-turbine facility dubbed Deepwater ONE. This will be the first phase of a regional offshore farm the company is developing roughly 30 miles southeast of Montauk. All transmission cables

will be buried deep below existing roads and under shoreline features, with no overhead cables or poles.

This summer, LIPA is set to decide if it will sign a contract from Deepwater to buy power.

Raacke pointed out though the electricity generated will go into a pool distributed throughout the grid, it is a huge amount of power – enough to power the entire town of East Hampton.

Individuals don’t have to wait for the wind farm to be built, however. “Solar panels are still a great investment,“ Raacke said.

“You can make your money back in seven years through state and

Forbes’ second annual definitive tally of America’s wealthiest, most successful self-made women includes 60 trailblazers – 10 more than last year – who have crashed ceilings through invention and innovation. These women, who are worth a combined $53 billion, have created some of the nation’s best known brands, such as Gap, Spanx, Proactiv and Vera Bradley. A number of them have also helped build some of the most successful companies in tech, including Facebook, eBay and Google, while still others got rich entertaining millions through their music, books or TV shows.

local tax credits,” he added.

The East Hampton School District has plans to install panels in its parking lot, and the town wants to place a farm at the site of the old brush dump in Northwest Woods.

There is also a sprinkling of windmills already generating electricity on the East End. It’s all very simple, said East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell. “Making the switch to clean energy is just the right thing to do, both for the environment and for keeping more money in the local economy and creating jobs here,” he said.

ident and CEO has an estimated net worth of $270 million, according to the magazine.

Herman took on a huge amount of debt to purchase Prudential Long Island reality in 1989. She expanded the firm before making a career-defining move in 2003, when she and partner Howard Lorber acquired Elliman for $72 million.

Elliman, the largest brokerage in New York City, closed roughly $22 billion in sales nationwide last year.

The ranking is Forbes’ second tally of successful female execs, and includes 60 women estimated to be worth a combined $53 billion.

Diane Hendricks, who founded the roofing company ABC Supply, topped the list, with a net worth of $4.9 billion, followed by Oprah ($3.1 billion) and Judy Faulkner, CEO and founder of the healthcare software company Epic Systems ($2.4 billion).

Herman, who worked as a real estate broker for Merrill Lynch, is considered the most successful female realtor in history.

RICK’S SPACE Eternal Youth I’ve always looked young for my age, but apparently not anymore.

I can remember going to the movies in Sag Harbor and getting the children’s discount, even when I was 16 or so.

In fact, I was humiliated on my first date when the lady in the ticket booth said, “Rickey, you’re still 12, right?”

I turned red. Being 12 meant not having reached puberty and here I was fully expecting to get to second base at the very least, if not hit a triple or even an insidethe-park home run.

“Of course not,” I replied in the manliest voice I could muster.

“I just joined the Marines last week.” The girl I was with, who will remain nameless, chuckled.

There would be no base, not even first, for Little Rickey on this night.

That was a long time ago, longer than I care to admit. Wednesday I was in the supermarket. “You’re a senior, right?” The check out clerk asked.

“Actually I graduated from college a few years ago,” I replied.

“I meant senior citizen,” she sneered.

I was speechless. Couldn’t she see this young buck in front of her, this would-be Marine, now in the full glory of manly pubescence?

Apparently not.

“Yes,” I replied meekly. Then I looked at the bill and it was discounted 10 percent. Sweet.

There are those who seek eternal youth, or at least who want to look younger than they are. They get face-lifts and dye their hair and get assorted “jobs” (be they nose or elsewhere) and tucks, take pills that replace lost hormones and so on.

And there is the quandary: If we make ourselves look too young they won’t offer us the senior discount at the supermarket. I have a solution: leave your teeth home on Wednesdays.

Eagles?

There have been frequent sightings of Bald Eagles in Sag Harbor, as many as three different birds. This is not the first time – years ago there was a Bald Eagle in the Bridgehampton hills, near the racetrack on Millstone Road.

Some yahoo shot the poor thing.

I have my doubts this time around. Maybe there is an eagle, but I bet he’s not bald – this is the Hamptons. If he’s here it’s oddson he’s wearing a toupee – and has a phony tan . . . and is driving a Range Rover.

didn’t link O.J. Simpson to the Softee affair, but it’s pretty heady stuff.

If you are in Midtown and you think you’ll be getting a welcome respite from the jarring, annoying Mr. Softee jingle that plays incessantly, think again – New York Ice Cream has an almost identical and equally jarring tune that plays over and over again.

The original Mr. Softee theme was written by an ad-man, Les Wass, for a radio spot in 1960 and yes, it has words: “The creamiest dreamiest soft ice cream you get from Mr. Softee Fo r a r e f r e s h i n g d e l i g h t supreme look for Mr. Softee!”

If you’re wondering, yes, it is technically ice cream. According to the New York Times, it passes the legal definition of ice cream, which cannot be said of soft ser ve from Dair y Queen and McDonald’s, which sells “ice milk.” Mister Softee ingredients include milk, cream, cane sugar, corn syrup, nonfat milk, whey, mono-and diglycerides, cellulose gum, as well as natural and artificial flavorings.

Dimitrios Tsirkos, who used to own Mr. Softee trucks, is the owner of New York Ice Cream. He uses the same recipe but he sprays Lysol on everything.

M a y w e a t h e r J r. v s . M a n n y Pacquiao: Mr. Softee against New York Ice Cream.

A turf war has broken out in Midtown Manhattan, and like two gangs looking to establish their own turf, it’s gotten downright ugly. It’s kind of like the Jets and the Sharks, but without the singing and finger snapping.

It all began when a new company emerged with trucks and logos that looked suspiciously like Mr. Softee’s – only it was called Master Softee. Considering the average kid who buys this gook is about five, chances are they didn’t notice the subtle change.

Mr. Softee sued and won, and Master Softee morphed into New York Ice Cream.

Now Mr. Softee drivers are being “surrounded and intimidated” if they try to peddle their goo in Midtown. One news report said Mr. Softee drivers now carry baseball bats to protect themselves. What if one snaps and uses his bat on some punk kid who tries to run away without paying? Do parents come up and say, “I’ll have a fudge bar, a black and white, and a Louisville Slugger?”

The feud has gotten an incredible amount of ink, most recently in Vanity Fair. Fortunately Dominick Dunn is dead so he

Eye On Education

By Dr. Dominic Annacone

Cyber Schools

Cyber schools, also called virtual schools, conduct educational programming for students solely online. Computers take the place of teachers and other personnel found in traditional public and private schools. Interactions between students and teachers is non-existent or in some cases, only supplementary.

Cyber schools are basically a form of home schooling by computer.

Obviously if this educational programming became wide spread, it would be much less costly than current school operational expenses.

Students wouldn’t have to travel and theoretically, would not have to learn in formal time frames.

Despite the presumed economic benefits derived from these alternative delivery systems, the question remains: To what extent can students achieve academically and socially away from the traditional educational environment?

I’ve always had reservations about home schooling. There are times when home schooling is a reasonable alternative for students whose lives are threatened by schools situated in dangerous and unprotected neighborhoods.

Also when parents are unable to have school officials put a stop to the bullying of their kids, home schooling may be the only solution for removing their children from a threatening school environment.

Certainly if a school is not successful in terms of student achievement, parents should look for alternatives and home schooling may be one of them.

It’s been my observation that many times children are home taught for questionable reasons.

There are serious consequences for removing children from traditional schooling.

One of those is that home-taught children don’t get to have the experience of meeting those teachers who are the great motivators. These educators are the true master teachers possessing skills that ignite a person’s desire to learn. Those of us who have attended traditional schools have been fortunate to have these encounters at one time or another.

Getting back to the issue of cyber schools, various reports tell of the lack of monitoring that goes on in cyber school operations. Who is insuring students are engaging

in software learning programs and not just playing games on their machines? How and when is individual diagnosis of student learning skills performed?

Diagnostic testing and direct viewing and analysis of student performance on a continuing basis is important to strengthen student learning skills and for remediating any shortcomings in performance levels. The extent to which these important interactions with students can be conducted in cyber school arrangements is highly questionable.

www.indyeastend.com

And there’s more shocking news about cyber schools. Analyses of drop out rates across the country have determined that large numbers of cyber school students are dropping out of high school.

A recent study found that the average graduation rate for public school students in the country is 82 percent. The average graduation rate for cyber schools is 40 percent.

June 8, 2016

21

That means the dropout rate for those schools is 60 percent!

Computers and other technological advances have an important role as supportive means for strengthening educational programs. Their value is of a supplemental nature and not as a replacement for traditional schooling and the human side of education.

15 years. EECO Farm leases plots to individuals who create their own gardens. According to Hutton, gardeners sign an agreement each year to pay for the plot and maintain it. This year, she said, the language of the agreement changed “radically.”

Earlier applications included a disclosure statement that appears to have disappeared. Instead, Hutton reported the current administration “pussyfooted around” including language along the lines of “Our water is good, but we recommend you don’t drink it.”

If the water isn’t potable, how

good can it be for irrigating crops, members wondered.

CAC member Paul Fiondella was a member of the board of EECO Farm during its early days. He said Monday night that he was opposed to using water under the fields for irrigation and pushed for the use of public water. Other members were opposed to the idea, due to the cost.

Stefanie Sacks is a culinary nutritionist, host of the NPR radio show “Stirring the Pot,” and author of What the Fork Are You Eating? On Monday night she expressed concerns about EECO Farm. “They should not be using the term organic,” she said.

While organic farming practices may be in place, the contaminated

soil is an obstacle to any kind of “certified organic” designation. “I sense something is being covered up, and that’s not cool,“ Sacks said.

A letter to the town’s agriculture committee was shared on Monday night. In it, Casey noted the CAC has spent “an enormous amount of time” over the last five years discussing pollution of farmland soils in East Hampton. She noted one CAC member helped found EECO Farm, and four others have served on its board of directors.

“The original objective of acquiring the property was to protect East Hampton High School students from direct exposure to pesticides and chemicals, and

give young farmers without farms an inexpensive space on which to perfect organic farming techniques,” the letter states.

It continues, noting aspects of EECO’s original charter that called for giving town residents plots, giving novice farmers a start in organic farming, educating the public about organic practices, and detoxifying damaged soil. “All the objectives except for the last one seem to have been achieved,” the CAC chair wrote.

Councilwoman Sylvia Overby is the CAC’s liaison. She agreed Monday night to bring the lease and town attorney John Jilnicki to the next meeting, investigate the return of caution signs, and pursue additional soil and water testing.

Sacks emphasized her concern about the so-called organic farm, stating, “I would never buy anything from there or bring my children there.”

“Me neither,” said Casey.

“Shuttle trains serving the South Fork can help solve our transportation problems,” East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said. “I look forward to the meeting with the LIRR President, Assemblyman Thiele, and my East End colleagues to accomplish this.”

Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman reported, “I had a positive meeting with LIRR officials several weeks ago and we discussed adding a train to help move the workforce. The idea was to run a weekday morning train from Speonk to Montauk and an afternoon train from Montauk to Speonk.

“Montauk and Speonk have spurs that allow the trains to move aside to allow other trains through. My analysis of the current schedule is that a train could leave Speonk at 8 AM and arrive in Montauk at just after 9 AM Monday through Friday from March 1 until late May. The train would leave Montauk in the afternoon around 5 PM and arrive in Speonk just after 6 PM. Obviously it would stop at all the stations in between.”

“It could really help during the run up to Memorial Day,” Schneiderman said. “By train, the trip from Hampton Bays to Southampton is only a few minutes, but by car it has been taking over an hour. This window of time has no other trains on the track. I am encouraged by LIRR’s willingness to discuss the idea.”

“I was not aware that Fred was also working on a similar, parallel track,” the supervisor said.

“He was very effective in getting the train going during the CR39 construction.”

CAP Says NO

Riverhead Community Awareness Program, Inc. (CAP) will sponsor its 31st Annual Say NO to Drugs March on Friday. Riverhead Police Officer Byron Perez is this year’s honored guest and keynote speaker.

O f f i c e r Pe r e z , t h e s o n o f immigrants and a 2003 graduate of Riverhead High School, has realized his American dream by becoming Riverhead’s first full-time Hispanic police officer. As part of his mission to give back to the community that has given so much to him, in 2015 he became a volunteer for CAP’s Pulaski Street Elementary School Program. He teaches the monthly Life Skills lessons to a combined fifth and sixth grade class of students who are new to this country, in their native Spanish language.

“We felt so lucky to have Officer Perez as our CAP presenter this year,” said Erica Peralta, Pulaski ‘s bilingual teacher. “In everything that he did – his manner of speaking, his questions, his greetings and his casual conversations with the children – Officer Perez made it clear to them that he respects and values them and their families.

“The children were so open to receiving the positive CAP messages from him because they genuinely feel that he believes in them and their potential to make good choices and be successful. Hearing an established community member speaking Spanish gave the children a sense of pride in their language and culture, even as they try so hard

to assimilate to their new culture in the US. “Officer Perez is a positive role model for all of the students, but especially for the young boys who have lost their fathers to violence or are growing up without them.”

Officer Perez is quite popular with all the students at Pulaski, who enjoy seeing the young officer in their school. “These kids are a lot smarter than we were at that age,” he observed. “They understand the negative influences out there. This program is awesome because it allows us to see how kids think and solve everyday life problems.”

He enjoys trying to draw out the newer, shy students as well, and says that “seeing a kid try is the best thing you can see.” When he was a student at Pulaski Street Elementary School, Officer Perez participated in the CAP Program.

He played varsity football while at Riverhead High School and calls his experience in the Riverhead Central School District “great.” He is proud to be able to share CAP’s message and role-play with students in their native language.

“Officer Perez has helped us address a major barrier by allowing us to provide our program to ALL of Riverhead’s students,” said Felicia Scocozza, CAP’s executive director. “Children who suddenly find themselves in a new country and a very different culture are at increased risk for anxiety, depression and substance abuse.

them with the tools and resources to better cope with these significant changes. This not only benefits the individual students, but the school and community as well.” CAP also trains two bilingual middle school peer leaders who assist Officer Perez in the classroom.

The 31st Annual Say NO to Drugs March begins at 9:30 AM on Friday, in front of Pulaski Street School. It heads south on Roanoke Avenue, then west on 2nd Street, returning to Pulaski Street School via Griffing and Hallett avenues.

Following the march, there will be a brief ceremony on the

steps of Pulaski Street School in which Officer Perez will address the students and community along with NYS Senator Ken LaValle, Assemblyman Fred Thiele, and the Riverhead Town Board. After the ceremony, the Loyal Order of Moose Lodge #1742 will serve a picnic lunch to all of the students.

Since 1983 Riverhead Community Awareness Program, Inc. (CAP), a nonprofit organization, has been providing drug and alcohol prevention, education and counseling programs for the Riverhead Central School District.

On June 13, 1942, four Nazi saboteurs landed on the beach in Amagansett and were thwarted by local coastguardsmen. In recent years, volunteers have re-enacted the historic events. This year, a film of the re-enactors, Nazi Invasion of America, will be shown, along with newsreels from 1942.

The program will also include a musical performance by a choral group portraying Patti Page and the Andrew Sisters, as well as the introduction of ancestors of the heroes who stopped the Nazi invaders.

Insight

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” It’s perhaps the late Mohammed Ali’s most famous maxim. But the champion boxer contributed innumerable quotes -- often quirky, often arrogant, and often inspirational -- to American culture.

Check out a few of our faves: • Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.

• Don’t count the days; make the days count.

• It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am.

• It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.

• Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

• A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.

• If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.

And his most famous, in its entirety: “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see. Now you see me, now you don’t. George thinks he will, but I know he won’t.”

Bullying Locals

Dear Editor, In a democracy, a majority rules, from what I was taught. Yet every day, we see that the majority is being trampled on by a vocal minority. This attitude and bullying is prevalent locally, statewide and nationwide.

We can see it in our schools, on the use of our beaches, on naming of holidays, and, now, the bathroom/locker room issue.

Political correctness has taken over for common sense. People sit back and don’t speak up for fear of retribution, both financially and socially. Leaders don’t lead because of the same reasons.

For over 50 years my family has enjoyed the Southampton, Dune Road beaches.

We held annual beach parties there for

decades, as did the Water Mill Community Club. About thirty years ago or so, a person wanting to purchase a new home built by Jay Sears, I believe, boarding the west side of Road D, inquired of his attorney, what the public use of the beach was.

His attorney happened to represent our family, too. The lawyer and client were on the phone when this took place. My husband, at the time, happened to be in the office when the call came in. The response from the future homeowner, when learning of the public use of the beach, was that this wouldn’t be happening once he owned the property!

He bought. He sued. He lost!

Do you see the similarity in this 30-year old case and the current one?

Knowingly they buy, probably at a discounted price, then they proceed to bully the locals, the majority, into compliance of their wants. If successful, the property value will increase.

By Ed Gifford The homeowner reaps the financial windfall.

It is time to lead, it is time to speak up!

In what has has become known as “The Ice Cream Wars” Mister Softee drivers now carry bats in their trucks, to ward off threats of violence by rival New York ice cream company drivers who are using intimidation tactics to keep other would-be soft serve sellers out of their territory.

It seems soft ice cream has become a hard, cold business.

Island and nationwide, raise concerns about safety for those on the ground. The one on Mill Hill lane where the plane ran out of fuel saved lives.

Here lies the fact. The town board is being pestered by a few local pilots, most of whom do not even live in the town, to consider reopening an abandoned runway.

“We recommend the elimination of runway 4/22 from use as a runway and specifically designate runway 16/34 as the secondary runway. 4/22 does not provide significant additional coverage, based upon historical wind conditions and it’s intersection with other runways are dangerous:” A verbatim quote derived from an in depth FAA study.

Nothing has changed, the earth has not tilted, yet the town board is considering the request of these few pilots.

There are 141 homes that will be impacted by this “because we want it” attitude of the pilots. A pilot told me, that there are some who need to upgrade their skills.

To even consider this is an outrage, in that the safety of 141 families is less important than the whims of a few who suddenly discount FAA recommendations.

The estimated cost of approximately 3 million dollars, for this dangerous and unnecessary consideration is outrageous, to benefit a handful, yet a benefit to the entire town was dismantled. This amount would have paid for ten years of a valued service.

The populace, has to speak out to the board to disregard this totally.

Steve Feldman I actually saw his first winning bout against Sonny Liston on television. No heavyweight was that fast. Hands or legs. You knew he was something special the first time you saw him.

He really became a worldwide hero for stepping forward with bravery and honesty during the Vietnam War. Bakzsh Ibodoulah Muhammad Ali is forever king. I was aware of him even when I was a child. I would see him on television. He was the best. He was really impressive. That man is the king!

Herman Newby I was a real fan. He was a great boxer. He did well in the ring. And as for his becoming a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War I really commend him. That took a lot of courage and conviction. Very few people would have the courage to do what he did.

Willy Wolter I saw him in real life once in New York. It was in the garment district. He must have been going to a radio station or a television station for an interview. He got out of the car and shook a lot of hands. Unfortunately, he was already ill. That was sad to see.

Reynolds schooling at the Naval Academy along with the schooling of thousands of other Academy midshipmen. These are future officers who are expected to serve in the U.S. Navy after they graduate, and many of them make a career in our Navy.

And they signed a contract.

If Reynolds commitment can be deferred why can’t other midshipmen have their service time deferred? Why can’t deferments occur for baseball players, or midshipmen who want to enter civilian graduate schools, or enter the corporate world or business world?

SECNAV and SECDEF should rethink their approval of the deferment and have Reynolds fulfill his commitment to the Navy.

to war veterans has to be described as bizarre.

I couldn’t help but see the irony in the Trump presser with a horde of reporters and millions watching on television when he informed us that he has donated to veterans’ causes in the past without telling anyone.

But in Trump World, I think he probably meant to say he has only told us about 362 times that he donated without telling anybody.

I don’t believe Trump gave the charity the money to veterans in good faith. Any American given the chance to raise millions of dollars for veterans should be full of happiness and joy, not seething with anger like Trump was.

I believe Trump’s intention from the start was to keep all or some of the money, and he was angry at the media because they made him into an honest man in this situation, and not the con man he usually is and intended to be originally in this situation.

Remembering Muhammad Ali

By Peter Israelson

An East Hampton resident remembers the great champion.

So here’s a treasured pix of the Champ and me clowning around making a TV commercial in Alaska for Ford Motor Parts: “I’m Tough and I’m Tested and by Ford I was Requested to come up Here to Alaska so I Ask ya . . .”

We spent two weeks together for the shoot, barnstorming the state. Everywhere we went Ali was mobbed, especially at all the

Army bases. And he insisted we visit every one. He was a beloved folk hero. Everyone just bonded with him right away, especially when he joked, which was nonstop: “Who you calling ‘chump’? I’m the Champ, not the chump, and you best remember it!”

We even roomed together. At night, we’d watch the Northern Lights dance thru our hotel window. Neither of us had ever seen anything like that before. At heart, he was just a big kid with eyes like

saucers, seeing the world for the first time. Though world-famous, he’d never been anywhere outside of gyms, arenas and hotels without handlers. So Alaska on his own was jaw dropping to him. His first encounter with unfiltered Mother Nature. And he loved to play pranks.

Especially on me.

I soon learned he was fascinated by, and deeply frightened by, the unlikely possibility of something bigger and fiercer than Ali - Yeti. So I saw my chance. I hired a giant of a man to play Sasquatch, complete with massive fur and bloody claws, to chase him around. Finally, on the set, with the film crew playing along, my Bigfoot-for-hire took Ali

by complete surprise and chased him screaming off into the distant woods, finally tumbling into a far-off ditch, ruining his pristine orange Ford parka. An embarrassed coward after all - hardly the Champ: “Peter, you’re a marked man now!

You’re never gonna rest. I’m gonna get my revenge.” For years after, he’d call me from airports around the world to pretend payback.

Which never happened, of course: “Peter, you’re the only one in my phone book whose number hasn’t changed. I know where you live, brother. Ali will get you. Don’t you ever doubt it!”

When we left Alaska after the production, he delayed our flight for hours by kissing every single baby on the 747. No one minded - he was that charismatic and loving. That shoot was one of the great privileges of my life.

season and took home the Suffolk County Class C title this season.

But the Baymen met their match Thursday, falling in the Long Island Class C Championship game to East Rockaway, 3-0 at Hofstra.

It was a classic pitching duel.

Southold’s ace Dylan Clausen brought his “A” game and waltzed through the first four innings allowing only one base runner after giving up a first inning run.

The Rocks had their ace, Ryan Kelly on the mound and he matched zeroes with Clausen.

It wasn’t as if the locals didn’t have their chances -- Kelly was having trouble locating the plate and walked six batters in all. Southold had three runners on in the first inning -- two reaching on errors, but they were unable to capitalize.

Kelly was everywhere on this day.

He scored the game’s first run. In the fifth inning he singled to put two runners on and Mike DelGais drilled a single, plating both, and the Rocks were up 3-0.

Southold did not go down easily, The Settlers threatened again in the fifth. Adam Baldwin stroked a single for the locals – their first hit – with one out. Pat McFarland walked, but the rally died there as Kelly buckled down to record an inning ending strikeout.

Southold finished the year with a sterling 19-4 record.

Shapiro To Coach Bonac Varsity

By Rick Murphy

There are two things that define Jesse Shapiro: his love for Bonac high school sports and his passion for coaching basketball.

That makes him a perfect fit: meet the new head coach of the East Hampton High School varsity basketball team.

Shapiro played for legendary Coach Ed Petrie as the starting point guard for four years, earning All-County honors twice. He also starred on the varsity football and baseball teams.

Afterwards, he played for Suffolk County Community College and Coach Rich Wrase, winning two junior college national

championships and reeling off 53 straight victories.

Shapiro has been coaching ever since, mostly inner-city youths, and has founded several AAU team.

In 2005 he was co-founder of FastBreak Kids, which grew into the biggest program of its kind in metro New York. Shapiro, as assistant coach at Dwight School from 2013 through 2015, won back-to-back state titles state titles He said this week he was anxious to begin and was going to meet with some of his players immediately.

Shapiro still has to complete some paperwork. “He was unanimously approved by the

Search Committee,” said school Superintendent Rich Burns. “We’re excited about Jesse joining us.”

Burns said he hopes to present Shapiro’s name to the school board for approval on June 21.

Shapiro said his focus would be to rebuild the program from the ground up and prepare his players for college.

Petrie stepped down in 2010 after winning two consecutive Long Island titles. His assistant coach, Bill McKee, took the helm in 2011 and announced he was stepping down earlier this year. McKee led Bonac to the County Class A semifinals this season.

Pierson Girls Fall, Too It was a double-celebration for East Rockaway Thursday, as their girls’ team won as well as the boys.

Freshman sensation Emily Chelius was on the mound at St. Josephs to face Pierson/ Bridgehampton in the Long Island Class C Championship game, and the Lady Rocks brought the lumber.

Chelius fired a complete game with seven Ks as Pierson was overwhelmed, 21-4. The Lady Whalers had a losing record during the season, but many of the losses came against higher-enrollment schools. As a result, they were allowed to compete for the Suffolk C title and surprised Port Jefferson by winning two straight.

Saturday East Rockaway moved into the regional finals by besting North Salem 3-1 and currently sport a 15-8 record. The Lady Whalers finish with a 7-11 mark.

American Heart Association’s Events Succeed

By Rick Murphy

It doesn’t get much better than this: running through wine country for a good cause.

The American Heart Association’s 7th Annual Healing Heart 5K Run/ Walk was held on May 15 on the property at Pugliese Vineyards in the heart of Long Island wine country in Cutchogue.

On the windy but sunny day, close to 500 runners, walkers and spectators came out to participate in the much-anticipated event.

Before the race, American Heart Association Long Island Volunteer Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin presented awards to the top local fundraiser, Mary Grady and the East End Cardiology Team for winning the Ralph Pugliese Most Spirited Team Award.

After the race those in attendance were treated to music by the Rum

Hill Rockers. A health expo was also available during the event and was open to all participants.

Another event, The American Heart Ride, was held on May 21 starting at Rotations Bicycle Center in Southampton. Bicyclists rode 27, 59, or 100 miles through the Heart of the Hamptons.

The Heart Ride was billed as a way for riders to experience the beautiful scenery of the Hamptons of Long Island, the beaches, the mansions and the farmlands. After the ride the riders were treated to a barbeque, music and massages provided by Southampton Hospital Wellness Center.

The Healing Heart 5K and the American Heart Ride hope to raise awareness that heart disease is the number one killer of men and women across the country and here on Long Island. These events create

This hand is a good example of one that can be opened at least two different ways as illustrated. What would you open with the South hand if you were the first bidder?

There are several things to consider. Who will win the bid? It is very possible that EW might win the

bid in spades or diamonds. If you open a preemptive 5C, you make it very difficult for EW to enter the bidding and you will likely play and make 5C. If you open 1C, West will overcall 1S and EW will bid and play in 4S unless you bid 5C, in which case they will bid 5S and make their contract, losing just one heart and one club. If you open 5C, they will likely pass and you will make your contract losing one diamond and the king of hearts.

Another possible consideration.

Some players do not like to preempt when they hold a four card major.

In fact, in this case, NS could bid 5H but EW will deny by bidding 5S. This hand is very interesting because of the different ways it might be bid. Personally, I would open 5C. Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

On The Water Schoolies Out In Canal The striped bass bite has been decent at the Ponquogue Bridge late at night; the Shinnecock Inlet is holding a good number of bluefish.

Most are catching on green or red diamond jigs and also on white bucktails. The outgoing tide seems to be the better bite.

Fluke are at Rampasture Point.

Squid and spearing working well, also chartreuse mullet Gulp! No reports of any fluke in the ocean yet; but plenty of BIG seabass are being pulled up (the season is set to open on July 15th).

The Peconics are holding some porgies at Jessups Neck and some weakfish over in Greenport.

The Shinnecock Canal has a nice mixed bag of fluke, blues, schoolie stripers, and sea robins.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Fog! Anybody notice the intense fog we had on Memorial Day? “Can’t see my hand in front of my face” kind of stuff. For those of a more scientificbent, fog that forms when water is warmer than the air is called “steam” fog (fall). Think of that pot of spaghetti water you are boiling.

Fog that forms when the water is colder than the air is called “advection” fog (spring). There is a third kind of fog called “radiation” fog. That is the fog that you see float in across the backyard or linger in a dip in the country road.

But fog is fog. You can’t see the land or the buoys or, worse, the bow!

What to do?

With the dropping price of radar, boats in the mid-20’ range can now be found to have radar aboard. If you do have radar aboard, read the

manual and get familiar with gain controls. I won’t waste space in this newspaper lending advice on how to use it to a skipper that already has a state of the art system aboard. Not surprisingly, however, the advice below holds for the 65’er with radar and chart overlay capabilities as well as the skipper in the 17’ open boat with a 90-hp Merc on the stern.

When The Fog Rolls In Slow down to “a slow bell,” that is, with forward propulsion necessary to maintain steerage, but no greater. Put on life jackets.

While underway and making way, engine in gear, give one “prolonged” blast on your whistle (four to six seconds). This is specified in the Navigation Rules, Rule 35(a). In fact, the rules say “not more than

two minutes apart.” Let me make it plainer. No LESS than every two minutes.

While underway but not making way, that is, dead stop on the engine but not at anchor, give two “prolonged” blasts, separated by a couple of seconds apart, no less than every 2 minutes. This is Rule 35(b).

If necessary to anchor due to visibility (none!), “Boats less than 39 feet 4 inches (12 meters) in length may make an efficient sound signal at intervals of not more than two minutes.” In short, it is not specified for boats under 12 meters. Boats larger than 12 meters at anchor must clang their bell five times quickly followed by one prolonged and one short (~1 second) blast in the whistle.

Listen. Sound travels more efficiently through fog than clear air.

Listen. Bring your engine to dead stop from time to time and listen.

Listen for the sound of surf (move away from that!), buoy whistles/ horns/bells (move towards that, carefully) or other engines (sound danger whistle right away and take all way off – but don’t turn off the

engine!)

Get Out So, now you are properly communicating with other boats but you do want to get in out of the fog if you can. How? Don’t, as some old chestnuts might advise, hug the shore.

As the fog intensifies and you draw closer and closer to shore, you know what will happen. Of far more danger, don’t “hug the shore” when you are outside the inlet. If you get caught in the surf line, you will be capsized and now there is imminent threat to life.

If you can’t see, you must stop, drop the hook, sound your warning horn as specified and wait out the fog. If due to electronics (GPS, Loran) you realize that you are in a heavy traffic lane, get out - at a slow speed and just enough to be out of the traffic. If you can’t see past the bow and you are underway and making way, you are in extreme danger of having a collision at sea.

If you have some visibility, the slower speed will help in another way as well – you can hear better.

Lastly, if you have those canisters of compressed gas as your boat’s horn/whistle, you will likely run out of compressed air before you run out of fog. Think about getting a simple whistle. Get the “pea-less” kind in case you have to worry about your spittle freezing one cold and foggy day.

And blow, baby, blow!

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.”
