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.

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.

A Whale Of A Weekend

By Laura Field

The historic Old Whalers’ Church in Sag Harbor is celebrating the 250th anniversar y of its founding with a Homecoming Weekend from Friday through Sunday.

The First Presbyterian Church of Sag Harbor was built in 1844 at the peak of Sag Harbor’s prosperity. In the 1840’s Sag Harbor was home to over 60 whaling vessels, and the money was readably available to construct the magnificent church. Donations from sailors, merchants, and citizens made the almost $20,000 project possible.

The focal point of the church was the 185-foot steeple that towered over the quaint village

at the time. The sight of this steeple meant home sweet home for the hundreds of whalers and fishermen who went far off shore for work everyday.

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, d u r i n g a hurricane in 1938, the crown of Sag Harbor came tumbling to the ground, and has yet to be replaced.

In 1994, the church was named a National Historic Landmark, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Homecoming Weekend will kick off Friday night with a free family movie night. Finding Nemo will be screened on the front lawn of the church at dusk, and visitors are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets for their comfort.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT . . .

PART 2 Wi t h t h a n k s t o t h e g r e a t sportswriter Jimmy Cannon, who did it first.

The irony of the horrible disaster with that maniac killer in Dallas is that one moment, the “Black Lives Matter” group was marching, chanting, and verbally abusing all cops.

Then the shots rang out and the “Black Lives Matter” group panicked, dropped their signs, and ran for their lives – asking those same cops they had been yelling about to protect them.

Did you see the interview with the “Black Lives Matter” woman marcher who was shot in the leg by the mad man? She was crying and telling how a cop protected her and her son and then the cop was shot dead.

All lives matter. Those who don’t believe that are fools. ******************************************* There’s no such thing as a “peaceful” march when it’s being led

by Al Sharpton, Black Lives Matter, or the Klu Klux Klan.

Martin Luther King led truly peaceful marches. That’s what defined his greatness.

******************************************* We will never have a worse mayor than Bill de Blasio. The damage he is doing to our city in the name of his “Left Wing Occupy Wall Street” politics is incredible. The streets are filled with beggars. (Word is some of them, in a good begging location, make as much as $200 to $300 an hour.)

The other day I spotted a beggar making a second cardboard sign, changing the copy because his first sign wasn’t pulling enough dollars.

His new sign started: “For the love of God please. . .” I was tempted to hang around to see how God worked for him, but I had to go. I had work to do. ******************************************* Instead of wasting the city’s money on his harebrained ideas, Bill “The Lame” de Blasio should sponsor a large advertising push to recruit as many black and Hispanic cops as he can. ******************************************* Here’s my recipe for linguini with clam sauce. I might add no one in the world makes a better linguini with

clam sauce than I do. I must also add I’m mediocre at everything else.

Buy a pound of the already shucked clams at the wonderful Seafood Shop in Wainscott. Ask the man behind the counter to chop those clams coarsely.

Also buy two dozen Little Neck clams, closed.

First you steam the closed Little Necks in a pan in olive oil and garlic.

When they open, they give off a lot of juice. Save the juice and the clams.

Then put a generous 6 ounces of olive oil in a large pan and sauté about 10 garlic cloves for 7 minutes, then add all of the clam juice that came out of the Little Necks. (Or you can buy clam juice frozen at the Seafood Shop, or ask the man behind the counter for some. In a pinch you can use that clam juice junk in a bottle that they sell everywhere.)

Turn the heat up until most of the clam juice is cooked off. In the end you should have an olive oil that tastes of clams. Add your pound of shucked chopped clams into the oil and clam juice mixture and cook for about three minutes. Separately, cook a pound of linguini in salted boiling water until it is al dente.

Then toss your pasta into the chopped clams and oil and garlic mixture, turn up the heat for one minute and mix the linguini and clams well. Garnish your dish with the two dozen Little Necks in their shells. Delicious. ******************************************* Mel Tormé singing “Stardust,” “How High the Moon,” and “What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?” is this old guy’s idea of what music should be. *******************************************

Summer showering (alone) in a cold water outdoor shower is as overrated as beach walking. ******************************************* Do you have any idea what was in those top-secret classified emails that Hillary was screwing around with on her personal computer? Can’t the government release just one so we can see how it affected our lives? And don’t let the government give you any crap about it being so top-secret no one can see it. There isn’t a top-secret message anywhere on any computer in Washington that a 15-year-old kid in Russia and a 12-year-old kid in China haven’t already broken into.

The secret is we have no secrets. ******************************************* James Comey, the Director of the FBI, is a good conservative Republican.

His decision on not indicting Hillary was a political one shared by many good conservative Republicans.

His birthday is December 14.

Some day it may be celebrated as the birthday of the man who saved the Republican party and perhaps the country. ******************************************* The sliced sirloin steak (charred on the outside, rare on the inside) at Bobby Van’s is the best in New York. ******************************************* What a difference a chef makes.

Under the direction of another famous chef (who shall go nameless), Topping Rose in Bridgehampton was stiff, formal, expensive, and a creepy restaurant experience with so-so food and absolutely no joy.

To d a y To p p i n g R o s e h a s turned into a delightful delicious dining experience under the new management of Phil Suarez and Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. JeanGeorges is one of my two favorite chefs in the world (the other being Eric Ripert of Le Bernadin).

The food at the new Topping Rose is delicious and fairly priced, the staff is nice and helpful, and you’ll have a great experience. *******************************************

Call For Improved Marina Safety

By Kitty Merrill

His grandfather didn’t want it to be about him, Connor MacInnis told officials. Rather, John DeLuca insisted the moment be about “the many children at risk for the same danger as the boy he rescued.”

Last Thursday night, the East Hampton Town Board presented a proclamation to DeLuca, honoring him for the bravery he demonstrated on the morning of June 1 when he pulled a child from the water at Montauk Lake Club.

According to the proclamation, DeLuca was aboard his boat, the Johnny Marlin, when he heard a piercing scream shatter the silence of the nearly empty dock area.

Another scream and DeLuca jumped off the boat and raced to investigate.

He found the mother of the toddler, screaming. DeLuca saw the child’s hand in the water under a boat. He plunged his hand into the water and pulled the child’s limp body from beneath the boat.

He’d been under water for close to five minutes and was not breathing.

DeLuca used his CPR training and after about seven minutes, the boy opened his eyes as water and foam gushed from his mouth.

“Mr. DeLuca rescued and revived the young boy in the critical moments before 911 was called and first responders were dispatched to the scene, and, today, the boy is back home with his family and doing well,” the proclamation recognizing and celebrating DeLuca’s heroic response states.

Recognition didn’t appear to interest DeLuca as he and his

grandson addressed the town board last Thursday night.

“My grandpa feels lucky to have been there, but insists something be done to help prevent future tragedies,” MacInnis explained. His goal is to expand the law requiring life vests for kids under 13 aboard boats to include children walking on docks at marinas.

Ta k i n g t h e p o d i u m a f t e r receiving the proclamation, DeLuca reported that just the day before, he witnessed “the exact same scenario” -- a small child with a dog walking on the dock unprotected while the adult ostensibly watching him was distracted and already on a boat.

“It’s very important we pass rules so this cannot happen again . . . I get emotional,” he apologized, voice cracking.

Since the rescue at the Lake Club, members of the Montauk Fire Department have begun working on a plan to bring boat and marina owners together to discuss strategies for making marinas – both public and private – safer, Chief Joseph Lenahan informed.

Chief Lenahan supports the idea of making life vests for children walking on docks mandatory. He also suggested “throw rings” that can pull a person to safety as tools that could be useful. Supervisor Larry Cantwell lauded the suggestions as excellent and vowed the town would help any way it can.

Turning to DeLuca, Chief Lenahan repeated a sentiment expressed that night: “Thank you for the incredible job you did. If it wasn’t for you, that child wouldn’t be here today.”

Warm Support For Cold Stunned Turtles

By Kitty Merrill

The group released Sunday included nine Atlantic Green sea turtles and one Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle.

The Kemp’s Ridley turtle is the world’s most endangered sea turtle, according to the National Geographic website.

With a worldwide female nesting population roughly estimated at just 1,000 individuals, its survival truly hangs in the balance. Their perilous situation is attributed primarily to the over-harvesting of their eggs during the last century. And though their nesting grounds are protected and many commercial fishing fleets now use turtle excluder devices in their nets, these turtles have not been able to rebound.

Their average lifespan in the wild is about 50 years and they can weigh up to 100 pounds.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the term “cold stunning” refers to the hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to prolonged cold water temperatures.

Soldier Ride Gets Rolling This Weekend

By Kitty Merrill

It’s Soldier Ride weekend in The Hamptons with the ride slated for Saturday and a documentary about the ride set to screen Friday at 8 PM in Amagasett Square.

In 2004 Chris Carney got on his bike and rode across America, completing a coast-to-coast journey in support of the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and rehabilitating injured veterans.

Bolstered by Fox News coverage Carney went on to gain national media attention and in turn raised over $1 million in donations.

The unexpected success of Carney’s heroic odyssey led to the creation of Soldier Ride, an annual coming together of civilians and veterans designed to support soldiers wounded in the service of our country. This Saturday, the Hamptons will once again host its own Soldier Ride event.

As a community event, Soldier Ride is much more than a simple fundraiser; it is an opportunity for veterans and civilians of all generations to bond and show their appreciation for those injured in uniform. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, Soldier Ride also provides injured soldiers a chance to undergo physical rehab and build confidence in their abilities.

Back in 2010, in an official statement, the Soldier Ride organization described the event as an opportunity for wounded warriors to, “Reclaim their confidence and strength through the exhilaration of cycling. Participants embrace possibilities for the future in a supportive environment of fellow injured service members.”

Today Solder Ride is a national phenomenon, a testament of an individual’s ability to make a difference through action. What was once a solitary bike trip across the country is now a Pan-American tradition featuring separate events throughout the United States in key locations, such as New York City, Washington DC, Texas, and, of course, the East End. In 2008 President George W. Bush hosted a kick off ceremony for regional rides at the White House and in 2009 President Barack Obama welcomed Soldier Ride to the White House.

The weekend kicks off with a screening of Soldier Ride, the movie Friday night.

It will be screened outdoors at Amagansett Square. Bring a blanket or chair.

On Saturday, festivities begin

with registration at Amagansett Farm at 7 AM. Opening ceremonies are slated for 8:30 AM, with the ride commencing at 9 AM and the community walk beginning at 9:15 AM. When riders reach Sag Harbor, around 11 AM, a lap of heroes takes place. It all culminates at noon with a picnic back at the farm.

Begrudgingly, I parceled out an area for them from my precious perennials. Since I have no spot that has the many hours of sun necessary for vegetables, I was doubtful.

The first season was shockingly successful. Good tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, edamame, beans, and peppers. Oh yes, and one pumpkin vine that ran amok over the garden without a pumpkin.

droppings, turning the soil. So far, the tomatoes, cukes, and peppers are coming in well. We will know soon if the vegetables are actually salad quality in a few weeks.

All this while my middle son was achieving renowned success at his home.

With great parental pride I now give you over to Daniel Tashman for his veggie experience.

Mid-July. Time For Vegetables.

At this time of year, most of my time is spent twisting, tying, staking and securing climbing vines.

Young edamame pods should be visible on the stalk. Keep them off the ground -- away from rot and hungry varmints.

Tomatoes planted early should also be nearing fruit. If there are any that have shown the same small green bulbs for over three weeks, remove them, and let the plant grow anew.

Green beans, purple beans, peas should all be in full swing, stretching to the sky a little further each day. Every other day, recheck them to make sure they are secured, and spaced out as well as can be.

Our new favorites are Mexican gherkins, bearing fruit that looks like mini watermelons and tastes like citrus-y cucumbers. Perfect snacking food for kids. And adults (martini garnish).

Lettuces planted in May should be reaching their summer peak.

Make sure to trim any shoots that spring up, so they don’t go to flower.

Our first turnip crop is almost ready to pick. We started them indoors in April and transplanted them in May, attempting to get two crops from the same planter in the same season. In addition to the turnips themselves, the leaves make a great pesto that bursts with green-ness.

Annuals like rhubarb and asparagus can also be harvested.

For rhubarb, if your shoots are long but still green, cut them back at the base. Wash and chop the green (or red) stalks into half inch pieces.

Put ½ cup sugar into a pot with 2 tsp water on medium heat and let the sugar melt into a syrup (3-5 min).

Once it all looks hot and liquidy, throw the cut rhubarb in for 30 seconds. If you don’t hear a loud sizzle, turn the heat up and give it an extra 15 to 20 seconds. Then remove from the pot and keep the liquid. The candied rhubarb is fantastic with yogurt or on fruit.

Reduce the remaining rhubarb syrup on low heat by 50 percent until it thickens. Delicious on vanilla ice cream!

As always, pause often and look around.

Felony DWI East Hampton Village Police said they observed a vehicle make several turns without signaling and speeding Saturday night shortly before 11. They pulled over the driver, Joseph Giuntoli 42, of Stockton CA, and he allegedly admitted to drinking. He was hit with a felony count of DWI, speeding, failure to change lanes, failure to signal, and having a faulty address on his license.

Brain Surgeons? Not! East Hampton Town Police watched a 55-year old NYC man wheel out on Montauk Highway Saturday night then speed off the road onto the right shoulder. He was pulled over and police said he failed sobriety tests.

Another reached in his top pocket and threw something on the ground in view of a cop early Sunday morning. Yep — it was a packet of cocaine. He got popped.

Shortly after midnight last Wednesday a Bridgehampton man allegedly harassed an individual who had an order of protection against him. Police recognized him and arrested him – bail was set at a whopping $10,000.

Southampton Sting Agents from the New York State Liquor Authority in conjunction with Southampton Town Police conducted a sting operation Friday that resulted in six arrests.

Agents warned future raids are planned, some in response to community complaints.

Agents moved into numerous locations – 18 in all - where alcohol is sold. They said a bartender, two deli clerks and three gas station attendants all sold liquor to undercover agents.

Three other people were taken into custody for smoking marijuana in public.

The North Sea Tavern on North Sea Road in North Sea; M the Garden Deli on Flanders Road in Flanders; Marta’s Deli on Riverleigh Avenue in Riverside; the Shell gas station on Lake Avenue in Riverside; Speedway Gas Cumberland Farms, both on CR 39 in Southampton all allegedly had employees that served minors according to a press release.

Three customers at the North Sea Tavern were arrested after agents observed them smoking pot on the deck of the establishment. One had cocaine in his possession as well, agents reported.

Election

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-1. to begin opening 1803 absentee ballots. “We didn’t expect it to be finished until [yesterday],” ThroneHolst said, but after a productive first day gave her a comfortable lead officials decided to double-down and accelerate the process. “They added more tables and almost doubled the people working. By noon Friday I was ahead by 275 votes.” The final margin was a rather comfortable 319 votes.

Calone said on Election Night via a press release that, “While we won’t know the final results until the roughly 1700 absentee votes are counted next week, the current 29 vote margin represents a victory of the volunteer grassroots.”

Throne-Holst, though, pointed out she had a large number of volunteers and almost 5000 donors.

Her average donation was under $100 per donor. “I would say ours was equally grassroots.”

After the absentee ballots were opened, Calone complained that, “We were outspent in this campaign by nearly $1 million and fell short by around 300 votes . . . “ “He put in between $250,000 and $500,000 of his own money,” Throne-Holst countered. “I put in zero.”

“Christmas Palm”

IN DEPTH

Throne-Holst won six of the eight election districts on election night, losing only Brookhaven and East Hampton, where local Democratic Party leaders united to support Calone. But Throne-Holst said the absentee voters from East Hampton decidedly favored her. In all, voter turnout was only about eight percent on Election Day, a shockingly low turnout. “We projected twice that,” the winner said this week. However, absentee ballots were higher than expected, and Throne-Holst was named on about 56 percent of them. Her political experience gave her an edge when it came to getting voters to mail in absentee ballots. Calone had never run for office before.

“I am deeply grateful to all who placed their trust and support in me, and I am truly humbled by the privilege it has been to get to know, share the concerns, and my message with so many. I want to congratulate Dave Calone on a spirited race,” Throne-Holst said. “I look forward to working together with Democrats across the district to take back this important seat.

Lee Zeldin has shown in every way that he is out of step and he is not only wrong for Long Island, but also

for the country."

“The stakes this fall are extremely high. Our Congressman, Lee Zeldin, is a proud defender of Donald Trump who voted to defund Planned Parenthood and voted against prohibiting people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns,” Calone said.

Throne-Holst intends to take the battle to Zeldin forthwith. “This is a district where voters vote for an individual, not a party. It’s about

Zeldin, an ardent supporter of Israel, had criticized the current administration on its relationship with Israel and it is expected be a campaign issue this fall.

County Solar Farm Raises Concerns

By Rick Murphy

A Suffolk County initiative to install solar panels to provide energy to county buildings has run into opposition in the county legislature.

Originally the solar panels were to be mounted on county buildings. But cost concerns prompted a search for alternate sites.

Wholesale 725-9087 Retail 725-9004

Al Krupski is the County Legislator from District One, the North Fork, which is rich in farmland.

The town and county have bought development rights to a lot of it.

He said initially county officials said the panels would be installed “in parking lots and roof tops” but it was decided to look at alternate sites the county owns.

Suffolk County said a solar park like this one will save millions of dollars, but some critics oppose placing panels on preserved farmland.

One was 44-acres of woodlands in Yaphank, but several organizations expressed concern about cutting trees down to accommodate a solar field.

Another possible site is farmland on the south side of the railroad station near the Yaphank county complex. Suffolk County owns the development rights to the parcel, and therein lies the rub. Krupski fears erecting a solar park, “would be precedent setting.”

Frank Zappone, the Southampton Town Deputy Supervisor, noted

Southampton also has a lot of preserved farmland. “We would be very concerned, should the project go forward,” he said.

“There is a technicality. We’ve purchases the development rights.

Do solar arrays constitute development?” Zappone wondered.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell was equally adamant. “We want our farmland to be farmed,” he said.

Suffolk has awarded a California company, SolarCity, the contract to convert five county-owned parcels into solar energy fields to provide power for the county jail, police headquarters, and other county buildings. Three are adjacent to county buildings in Yaphank.

“This project will save taxpayers millions of dollars, create renewable energy and protect the environment,” Deputy County Executive Jon Schneider said. “It’s a big win for Suffolk County taxpayers.”

The Music Hasn’t Died – Yet

Independent / Jessica Mackin

By Rick Murphy

Nancy Atlas is back performing at the Surf Lodge and for the moment an uneasy peace exists between East Hampton Town and live music venues.

But East End musicians are concerned their ability to make a living is being adversely affected by East Hampton Town’s enforcement policy, and bar/restaurants are concerned the town actions could get them in hot water with the State Liquor Authority.

Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said their concerns are overblown.

“The laws have no not changed, but maybe we are enforcing them more,” Cantwell said, noting a more aggressive effort to limit noise began last summer after the debacle in Montauk on July Fourth weekend.

But musicians complain an unholy allegiance formed between the town and the SLA not only threatens their careers but endangers the establishments themselves, which could be

theoretically shut down if they don’t comply.

Tina Piette, an Amagansett attorney whose clients include the Surf Lodge, said the town’s zoning codes relating to live music are out of whack. “They have known there is a problem since 2011 and haven’t done anything.”

The Surf Lodge became the poster child for those who complain that live music situation has gotten out of control. The Lodge recently entered an agreement with the town to limit music, but it set off shock waves among musicians who said it was too restrictive.

But Cantwell said the Surf Lodge was a unique case since the SLA held a hearing after noticing the Lodge didn’t mention live music on its liquor license application.

When the smoke cleared, its owners agreed to limit live music to five days a week, no more than two hours a day, and none after 8 PM. Cantwell acknowledged the town is bringing the SLA into

the picture. ”When police or code enforcers find a violation they make a referral to the SLA,” he said.

Piette said since the town’s laws are flawed, it has a poor prosecution record. “The town is asking the SLA to enforce the laws because they can’t.”

Piette said the town’s code governing live music is similar to Southampton Town’s with a fatal exception. “Larry thinks our code mirrors Southampton’s code but Southampton has a process on how to prosecute – they do it legally.”

The system in East Hampton is seriously flawed, Piette said.

“They measure the decibel level at the property line of the establishment, even when the complainant is a half-mile away.”

She said responders should go to where the complainant is and measure the noise level there.

The noise level, 55 decibels, is too low, musicians say. Several attended a town board meeting last month and urged the board to raise it. Atlas, a singer-songwriter who has been on the scene for two decades, went so far as to play the guitar at the town board meeting to illustrate how restrictive the present law is.

noise seem to be overlooked while music is singled-out. The system in place to control music is complex and convoluted, she argued “There is zoning, there is code, and there is a music licensing law,” Cantwell pointed out.

But in addition, there are four pre-existing non-conforming establishments that operate as “nightclubs.” They have a green light to operate into the wee hours and include the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, the Sloppy Tuna, and the Memory Motel in Montauk.

They are music venues first and foremost.

“Any bar or restaurant” can apply for a music license, Cantwell said. “They can play music as an accessory use” and are subject to, among other things, noise restrictions. “Last year we had 250 complaints and 50 were found to be in violation.”

The musicians say all the jumping through hoops is a kneejerk reaction to the real problem – the serious overcrowding Montauk experiences during the summer.

As for the SLA, Arden Gardell of 668 the Gig Shack in Montauk told Cantwell at the meeting, “Your administration continues to try to find the most extreme ways to restrict the business community.”

He said his attorney told him the informal relationship between the town and the SLA, however looseygoosey, is “Unprecedented.”

Three Finalists For Top Cop Job

By Rick Murphy

The Southampton Town Board is expected to choose a new police chief next month, and no one can complain the search isn’t a thorough one. There were about 20 applicants initially, including a female chief of detectives from Lima, Peru.

The chief’s office has had a revolving door of late. Robert Pearce, who is stepping down from the top spot, was hired at the end of 2012 to replace Chief William Wilson, who had been hired in 2011 to replace Chief James Overton.

Wilson’s short tenure was marked a very public scandal involving the department’s Street Crime Unit and infighting on the town board pitting Republicans against Democrats.

A search committee screened nine candidates in the opening round of interviews, said Assistant Town Supervisor Frank Zappone.

“We decided at the onset we are

not sharing the names of any of the applicants with the press,” he added.

However, according to sources, applicants included five in-house candidates, Captain Lawrence Schurek and lieutenants Susan Ralph, James Kiernan, Michael Zarro, and Todd Spencer. James J. Reed, the Shelter Island Police Chief, Gerard Larsen, the East Hampton Village Police Chief, Trevor Gonce, who was recently appointed Chief of the Westhampton Village Police Force, and William Madigan, the recently retired Suffolk County Chief of Detectives were also screened.

Madigan’s department was rocked when his immediate supervisor, Chief James Burke, pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and violating civil rights after he admitted assaulting an imprisoned suspect and then trying to cover it up.

Kiernan also carries baggage

Aces

– he was the head of the since disbanded Street Crime Unit, and was accused of letting a rogue police officer work undercover though he had a drug problem. He was reinstated six months later but in the interim Republican members of the town board were accused of protecting Kiernan because he was a party committeeman.

Wilson, who suspended Kiernan, resigned after clashing with Councilman Chris Nuzzi, one of Kiernan’s supporters. Scuttlebutt has it that Wilson threw his hat in the ring this time around but did not screen before the committee.

IN THE NEWS

Lt. Ralph filed a discrimination suit against the town last year, charging gender discrimination, sexual overtures and retaliation.

“We have another set of interviews later this month,” Zappone said.

“There are Civil Service issues we are waiting for clarification on.”

There could be as many as three more candidates deemed worthy of a final interview, which will be conducted by the town board in executive session.

As of now two sources said the three finalists named so far are Larsen, one of the in house candidates, and another out of town candidate, possibly either Madigan or Reed.

The process will take several weeks, and a new chief will be named sometime in “mid to late August,” Zappone said.

While nearby homeowners argue that truck traffic near their homes is dangerous, proponents said that with the exception of summer weekends traffic is manageable. The beach has been a hangout for locals and their trucks for three generations.

By Rick Murphy

Though the case over whether trucks should be allowed on the so-called Truck Beach in Amagansett is in the hands of a judge, both sides are bracing for a longer fight.

Justice Ralph Gazillo, who heard the case in State Supreme County in Riverhead earlier this summer, acknowledged as much himself, predicting, “This will not end with this trial.”

For one thing, there is an appeal of a similar suit pending.

Beyond that, the Town of East Hampton is going forward with its due diligence concerning a possible condemnation of the beach, which will be initiated if either of the pending suits doesn’t go the town’s way.

The beach, in Amagansett east of Napeague Lane and Marine Boulevard, is being claimed by homeowners who maintain they

own it.

Locals have used the beach for generations as a family friendly gathering point. The argument is that it is truck friendly, too – sometimes as many as 200 or more vehicles park there on summer weekends.

In a press release this week SAFE (Safe Access For Everyone), one of the litigants, blasted the town’s condemnation actions, saying that in court filings the town has “submitted flawed Environmental Assessment Forms and an illegal draft of the General Environmental Impact Statement.” SAFE contends “the Town has failed to follow state and local laws and take essential facts into consideration” in preparing the environmental impact statement needed to go forward with the condemnation.

RICK’S SPACE Matt, Madonna And Me

We have an intern who owns four horses, which is unusual but not unheard of around here.

Ever since the Hampton Classic began horseback riding has been on the upswing hereabouts, though mostly from the well to do set.

Madonna has a horse farm here; Matt Lauer has one nearby.

I know a hell of a lot about horses, but not those kinds – my old man used to take me to the track a lot and I’ve been a bettor ever since.

But I’ve only ridden a horse once.

It happened during my hippie years, probably around 1972 or so.

A bunch of us went to Oklahoma, where we saw an advertisement: $20 to ride all day on a 40,000 acre piece of wilderness; bring your own lunch.

At this point I should point out I think it was Oklahoma. My buddy swears to this day we were in Texas. Another one swears it was Mississippi. When you consider we weren’t sure if we lived on Earth or Mars or Pluto, any one of us could be right. Or maybe none of us are.

I had an Afro that soared to the sky a la Jimi Hendrix. Two of the guys had ponytails. One guy had purple shoes — you get the picture.

Them ol’ boys saw us coming.

“Give Killer to that one with the Afro,” I could hear one of them say, spitting out tobacco juice with every other word. Later I found out

July 13, 2016

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

he was “Tex.” There were six of us – we mounted up and the guide gave us a map – that’s the last we saw of him. Killer took off like a bat out of hell and within minutes I was completely lost. Then my saddle started slipping. “Slim” must have forgotten to fasten it properly.

Killer could have ridden off but I realized he’d played this game many times. No, he wasn’t going to run away – but he wasn’t letting me on his back, either.

We walked and we talked. I would say clever things like, “Please let me back up,” and “Where the hell are we, anyway?”

Finally I couldn’t hold out any longer and I took out my cream cheese and jelly sandwich, my only sustenance for the long day ahead.

I took a bite, and he snorted.

“Want a bite?” I asked.

He gulped down the whole freaking thing.

Now it was just Killer, the blazing sun, and me.

KAYAK

RENTALS • TOURS PADDLE BOARD

We walked for hours. We came to a wooded area. I found a stream.

Killer drank. I drank. Killer peed.

I peed. Killer pooped enough for both of us.

I tried to sing to him, but that didn’t go over well. (It never does.)

Finally I tried talking to him like a cowboy. “I reckon the sun be setting soon,” I said. “Best we head back to camp down yonder.” This went on for a while.

F i n a l l y, a r o u n d 4 : 2 0 , h e inexplicably allowed me to get on board, and he took off. At first I was scared, but soon the sheer elation of whipping through the wind on this magnificent beast overtook my senses.

After what seemed like 15 minutes we rounded a bend and there were the stables. A string of barbed wire was stretched over several hundred yards. Killer decided to race parallel to it, inches from the fence -- where my leg was.

I lifted it up like Anne Oakley doing a trick at the county fair.

I almost fell off, but mercifully, the horse came to a dead stop by his barn.

I dismounted hastily, still wobbly.

Tex, Slim and the boys ambled over with stupid grins on their faces. “How’d it go?” one asked, giggling.

“Great,” I said, “Once he learned who the boss was. I put him through

B-7

his paces. Had him cantering.

Jumped a few fences. Killer? Huh! Ya shoulda called him Pansy, boys.

What’s it gonna be for dinner, stew or stew?”

With that I sauntered to the parking lot and our Volkswagen van.

We spent the ride home bragging about our horseback riding expertise until one by one the truth came out.

The same thing happened to all of us, and we were all scared they’d find our bodies in a gulch, I never went horseback riding again, but I still have bowed legs.

Truck Beach

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-6.

Anthony Tohill, a Riverheadbased attorney representing the town, dismissed the press release and supporting documents distributed by Cindi Crain of SAFE. She and her husband, Ken Silverman, are founders of the group.

“They are the most recent purchasers of a beachfront house there,” Tohill said. “They bought when the beach was most overcrowded. Now they are trying to change it.” Tohill likened the pair to people who buy near an airport and then try to get the airport shut down to increase the value of their property.

“There will be be an approved SEQRA review, and we will go forward,” he said.

“It’s bad enough that driving on Napeague beach puts our children’s lives in danger and causes a health crisis by encouraging 600+ people on summer weekends to use the beach and ocean as a toilet. Now the Town is attempting to avoid a proper consideration of the harmful environmental impacts of beach driving,” Crain said.

Tohill said Justice Gazillo implored the two parties to reach an agreement out of court, but that Crain and SAFE are too rigid to engage.

“Look, there is a lot of beach

out there. There are reasonable ways to spread it out,” Tohill said.

“But they call it a “non-starter.”

The previous administration toyed with the idea of creating a new town beach near the Lobster Roll with parking and rest rooms.

The hope was truck traffic would gravitate east toward the new facility, but it died on the drawing board. There are still miles of town, county, and or state owned beach to the east of the Truck Beach.

It is generally conceded that in March 1882 the Trustees sold beach land stretching across Napeague almost to Montauk to Arthur Benson, a developer. SAFE and homeowners in the area say

A Peace Of Long Island

By Carrie Catherine Holmes

The Peace Corps are renowned for allowing promising young adults the opportunity to travel into the depths of some of the most remote and beautiful locations on earth while providing aide to the local peoples.

On June 29, the Corps accepted another young woman to join their ranks. Samantha Hokanson, 25, of Southold will be traveling to the South Asian country of Cambodia for her service.

A person of diverse interests, Hokanson graduated from Southold High School and continued her education at Fordham University in the Bronx where she graduated with a B.A. in American Studies with a minor in Psycology in 2013.

Since then she has been employed at the Michelin-recommended Japanese restaurant O Ya in Manhattan and has worked as an assistant media planner at the Manhattan-based media agency, Mindshare. With her next teacher being her experience in the Peace

Corps, Hokanson wishes to expand her horizons with, “language, wisdom, patience, perseverance, confidence . . . I could go on.”

“Gratitude” is the reason why Hokanson joined the Peace Corps.

In 2014 on a tour through Southeast Asia, her view of the world changed.

“I was blown away by the kindness and generosity of the people I met. Everybody seemed so open, the sense of community was so inspiring.”

Hokanson will leave tomorrow and spend the first three months of her service with a host family in a small village in her assigned country of Cambodia. There she will immerse herself in the Cambodian culture. She’ll study the language and learn the skills necessary for acclimating to life in such a different place while teaching English to children at the local high school.

From there Hokanson will be officially sworn into service with the Peace Corps and assigned to her permanent Cambodian home for the

remainder of her service.

Currently, there are 107 Peace Corps volunteers ser ving the people of Cambodia, with over 430 volunteers participating in the program since it was established in 2007, serving their assigned communities in education and health. Like Hokanson, these volunteers all learn to speak the native language of Khmer to better serve their communities.

Once sworn in, Hokanson will be working with local inhabitants and the Peace Corps’ partner organizations to improve the quality of life and the efficiency of work and systems for the region. The experiences help develop a broad range of skills including cultural adaptability, an understanding of technical work, and the leadership capabilities every applicant desires from this prestigious organization.

Though Hokanson expressed her desire to be near the water, as it is comforting to anyone who has grown up on the East End, she wants to be placed where her skills and personal attributes will be most useful in her time. But to make her experience a more enthralling and magical one, she’s avoiding expectations.

The Peace Corps is always looking for capable, driven volunteers who seek to better the planet and not only place an impressive mark on their resume, but create a better environment for people on a global scale. Currently, there are 416 residents from New York State serving in the Peace Corps with

over 13,527 New York State residents serving since 1961.

Recently, the New York City Greater Metropolitan area has been noted as the leading source of volunteers for the fourth year running, with New York ranked at the second highest state for volunteers currently serving overseas. The rate of applications in a 2014 poll reached a record high with over 17,000 applicants registering to be evaluated for acceptance. With the process more efficient and applicantfriendly than ever, volunteers can now apply for specific countries and programs they wish to participate in.

Play Bridge A hand very similar to this was played recently at the Water Mill Bridge Club. One South was aggressive in bidding 3S but North bid 4S with only two trumps, one of which was the ace. When South saw the dummy he could see nine tricks but where would he find the tenth?

With the trump lead, South could assume that the trump king was in the East hand. Thus he had four potential losers including three diamonds and the trump king. If the diamonds broke 3-3, there would be only two diamond losers and he could male his contract. However, the probability of the 3-3 break was less than 50 percent.

South came up with a better plan.

He could take 5 side-suit winners and try to win 5 trumps. Thus his plan: He would win the first trick with the trump ace and then try to trump 2 clubs and 2 hearts in his hand. After winning the first trick he would play the king and ace of clubs and ruff a club.

Next he would return to dummy with a high heart and ruff his fourth club. Then back to dummy with

Joining MFD were firefighters from Amagansett led by Chief Allen Bennett, Jr. and East Hampton led by Chief Kenneth Wessberg. The West Overlook in Montauk was a convenient base for the operation.

Yes, all lives matter. But this week YouTube comedian Kevonstage gave a pithy explanation as to why the all lives matter hashtag can seem offensive to African Americans.

In a video entitled “The Problem With All Lives Matter,” the comedian opines that All Lives Matter arose as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Of course all lives matter, he says, but can people agree that black people are dying at an accelerated rate?

“It’s like your house caught on fire and the fire department came and poured water on the house and the neighbor says, ‘All houses matter.’”

“Yeah,” Kev continues, “But my house is on fire.”

Can we agree that within the idea of All Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, too?

Or are we going to simply watch the house burn down?

Also this week, a quote by North Haven resident and former host of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart, circulating on social media, emphasized that holding law enforcement in high regard, grieving for the officers killed last week AND for the black men killed by police are not mutually exclusive feelings. One can be pro-Black Lives Matter, anti-police brutality and still sickened by the murders of police in Dallas.

We are.

Independent VOICES

Support Our Police Letter to the Editor, Police actions in Ferguson, MO; New York City, Baltimore, Baton Rouge and Minnesota have been in the news, and a few police officers have been seen using excessive force and shooting people. I believe a small number of police officers use excessive force, and these officers should be held accountable for their actions.

The vast majority of police officers diligently do their duty and treat criminals and suspects with respect. Unfortunately, police officers are being vilified and attacked because of a few over-zealous officers.

The result is police officers can be

hesitant to take actions that could possibly be construed as too forceful, and thereby criminals are emboldened to commit violence. Unfortunately, this could have been the situation leading to the murder of the Dallas police officers. And, by the way, why aren’t people on the streets protesting the killing of the five Dallas police officers?

The ramifications of hesitation by police officers in doing their jobs can place their lives in jeopardy and have a negative effect on public safety.

We need to support our police officers who risk their lives every day to keep us safe.

No More Duopoly Dear Editor, The two political parties are beholden to fossil fuel corporations and funded

by Super PACs. The skeptics argue that cooperative economics will neither sustain itself nor reduce the impact of climate change Contrarily, there is a third political party with a candidate that is not obliged to big money, does not have a Super PAC and proposes a green platform that challenges the skeptics: Dr. Jill Stein, presidential nominee of the Green Party. Stein is a champion for global environmental, economic, political and social justice, and a physician. CNN and Quinnipiac polls show Stein doubled from May’s 2 percent to this month’s 7.5 percent nationally, and has reached the 15 percent to qualify for a three-way debate with Clinton and Trump.

Among voters under age 45 she polls at 15 percent. Why is this happening?

JUST ASKING

IN THE NEWS

By Karen Fredericks

Did you agree with the decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton?

Colleen DiRosa Wrong decision. They certainly had enough evidence to prove Hillary knew just what she was doing. I didn’t buy that it was just carelessness. And why no investigation of Bill Clinton getting on the plane with the Attorney General, clearly to fix things for his wife?

Henry Johansson Comry made a good case for going forward with the prosecution so I was left very confused by the decision not to. It seems there’s a double standard. The rich and powerful get away with a lot of things, so folks like us are disappointed with the process.

Paul Gombola There’s a double standard here. The rich, like Hillary, are treated very differently from guys like me. But as Comry said, the law is not meant to legislate moral code. That’s true. But in the end it was as if it was just swept under the rug.

Bernadette Gombola It stinks. I think she should have been prosecuted instead of getting off scott-free.

And that happened because of her wealth and her power and her vast network of connections. There’s no way you and I would get away with what she did.

of power in the two forces, and the third parties offer alternative platforms.

Stein’s platform “Green New Deal” would create 20 million living wage jobs by transitioning to 100 percent clean renewable energy by 2030. She is also an advocate for education as a human right.

Cancellation of student-loan debt is among the eleven components of her “Power To The People Plan,” utilizing quantitative easing to buy back student loan debt.

“Using quantitative easing to repay student debt,” said Stein at a speech in May 2015 to the New Jersey Student Power Conference, “would unleash enormous productivity and creative power.”

Stein’s progression from physician to political revolutionary was instinctive: “I used to say I practiced clinical medicine, now I say I practice political medicine, because it’s the mother of all illnesses.

And we have to fix this one if we’re going to fix the things that are literally killing us [it’s] time to reject the ‘Lesser Evil’ and stand up for the greater good.” It is time for a third party to challenge the two-party system, brandishing a platform that campaigns for and advocates a policy for ecological, social and political justice: the Green Party’s presidential nominee, Dr. Jill Stein.

What’s SUP?

By Kitty Merrill

Stand Up Paddleboarding and SUP Yoga are the on fleek fitness trend in The Hamptons this summer, with several local gurus offering classes and experiences. This month, Indy Fit will visit some of our faves.

Jessica Bellofatto, a 24-year yoga practitioner, is the founder of JBYOGA and KamaDeva Yoga in East Hampton. She’s offering a full schedule for divas looking to get a little wet and a lot of yoga.

Jessica’s SUP lessons and classes meet in idyllic locations throughout The Hamptons: Long Beach in Sag Harbor, Accabonac Harbor in East Hampton, Eddie Ecker State Park in Montauk to name just three.

In addition to pure stand up paddleboarding, she also offers SUPilates, SUP Fitness, and, of course, JBYoga signature SUP Yoga classes on the only BOGA YOGA floating studio in The Hamptons.

(Boga Yoga was the first company to design a paddleboard specifically made for yoga and fitness—it is wider and floatier—providing

you with greater stability and an awesome glide).

BYoga Signature SUP YOGA is described as “a flowing vinyasa sequence progressing from more basic and stable postures to poses such as standing poses, tree pose, arm balances, and even inversions.

Transformative and creative sequencing combined with flawless cue-ing and sup board appropriate modifications, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty around you, buyer beware—this practice is addictive.”

All classes include some pranayama (breath awareness), yoga philosophy or inspiration, and the sweetest floating Savasana (final relaxation) you have ever experienced.

Ready for some un-hampton Hamptons nitelife? Jessica’s Full Moon Paddles are run during that magical time as the sun sets and the moon rises in the warm summer sky – the next take place Sunday and Monday.

Town Prevails In Cooks Suit The Town of Southampton announced Monday that it was successful in a recent trial before the Honorable Leonard Wexler, United States District Court Judge, regarding the alleged false arrest, malicious prosecution, and unlawful search of Plaintiff Bernard Cooks pursuant to a January 2011 arrest by the Southampton Town Police Department.

After a full trial, Judge Wexler determined that the Southampton Town police and, in particular, Police Officer Eric Sickles, had more than sufficient evidence to support probable cause to arrest and prosecute Cooks for possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell, possession of marijuana, criminal possession of drug paraphernalia, and false impersonation.

The Judge further determined that there was no misconduct on the part of any Town Police Officer, including Officer Sickles, involved in the arrest and prosecution of Cooks. In addition, the Court found that Cooks’ constitutional rights were not violated.

Cooks was one of several suspects arrested following the raid of a crack house in 2011. However, when Sickles acknowledged he was addicted to prescription drugs, Cooks’s conviction was vacated.

Cooks was released in 2012 and filed a federal lawsuit. Sickles was suspended for eight months and underwent treatment for addiction.

Another defendant sued the town similarly in 2010, filing a $50 million lawsuit. His case was thrown out of court, too.

To Restore Historic Sagg Bridge

Pictured, left to right: Trustee Joy Sieger, Trustee Lisa Duryea Thayer, Senator Ken LaValle, Mayor Donald Louchheim, Assemblyman Fred Thiele, Deputy Mayor Lee Foster, and Trustee William Barbour announce the restoration of the Sagg Bridge Monday.

Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Ken LaValle joined Sagaponack Village Officials on Monday to announce that they have secured a total of $500,000 through the State and Municipal Facilities Program to repair the historic Sagg Bridge in the Village of Sagaponack.

The Sagg Bridge Restoration project will include improvements to the drainage structure along the approaching road abutments, repairs to the causeway and seawall, structural repairs to the bridge structure, and improvements to the bridge deck including concrete/ spall deck repairs, new curbing, sidewalks, bridge railing and asphalt pavement.

The entire Sagg Bridge Restoration project is estimated to cost nearly $900,000. The State would be contributing over half of the project cost, with the Village of Sagaponack contributing the remaining through its Capital Highway Reserve Fund.

Work is expected to begin in late 2016.

Aviators Hold On To First

By Rick Murphy

The Westhampton Aviators are a stubborn bunch. Whenever it seems they will fall from the top the HCBL perch they rally for a win.

The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is in its All-Star break and Westhampton, with a 19-9-1 mark, holds the lead despite having lost five of their last 10.

The North Fork Ospreys are second with 17-12, a half-game up on Montauk (16-12); the Mustangs have won seven of 10. Sag Harbor (11-161), Southampton (8-16), and Shelter Island (8-16-1) bring up the rear.

Matt Dunlevy, a junior at VMI who is playing for Westhampton, is leading the league in batting at the break with a sizzling .351 mark. His teammate on the Aviators, Aaron Ping, is right behind him with a .349 mark. Brooklyn born Richard Palacios is hitting .347.

Ping, who is making a strong case to be the league’s Most Valuable Player, leads with 12 homers and 33 ribbies. Dan Schock, who attends Sacred Heart University, is second with nine zingers. Matt Smith has 29 ribs – both players play for the North Fork.

Frank Valentino of Riverhead leads all hurlers with five victories.

The senior out of New York Tech also sports a sparkling 1.88 earned run

The thin lefty, a junior at Delaware, sports a microscopic 0.63 mark and has allowed only 15 hits in 28 innings pitched.

Westhampton had nine players named to the All-Star team - Jack Massa, Ping, Jacob Jaye, Trey Silvers, Roman Baisa, Dunlevy, Ross Puskarich, Reiss Knehr and Jordan McCrum.

FANTASY SP

By Skippy Brown

THE INDEPENDENT • Traveler Watchman

RTS

Moving Week Is Upon Us

Veteran Fantasy baseball players know the All-Star break – this week – is time to assess their teams and make what sometimes is a painful decision. It’s known as “Moving Week” because it’s time to wheel and deal.

If your team is in contention – anywhere in the top half of your league standings, you need to improve now. That means identifying the categories you are weak in and attempting to trade for help.

For example, if you are near the bottom of the pack in “Saves” you need to go out and find a closer. That usually means dealing from strength. Look at your best categories, and decide which of your players who are strong in that category you can put in a deal. Then work the phones and social media to come up with a fit.

TIP: don’t be afraid to involve multiple teams in the discussion, because sometimes three and even four-way deals are the only way you can get things done.

If you are having a bad season, you need to rebuild for next season if you are in a keeper or Rotisserie league. That involves trading your higher priced players for youngsters with low salaries and hoping they turn into stars.

If you are not in a keeper league, you must still play on. That doesn’t mean forget about it and move onto Fantasy Football. It means doing your best – you owe it to the other players in the league.

One of the easiest ways to get better is to target players who are traditionally better in the second half of the season. There is no rhyme or reason as to why this occurs – maybe they get more comfortable with the starting pitchers. Maybe it takes a few months to get into tiptop shape. All we know is statistically some players do better in the second half of the season – every year.

Adam Jones is one who comes to mind from personal experience.

Paul Goldschmidt is another. Andrew McCutchen is beginning to heat up, as he usually does. Bryce Harper is ready to break out. So is Todd Frazier.

The best bet is to find a player who had a lousy first half and hope his owner is tiring of him: guys who fit the bill this year include Yasiel Puig, Hanley Ramirez, Jason Heyward, and even Luis Valbuena, who hits a lot of second-half home runs.

Fantasy Football Our long wait is almost over. In

two months the NFL season starts anew. Hopefully, Governor Cuomo will sign the bill that legalizes DFS before then, but either way leagues are forming now.

There are a few cardinal rules to drafting this time of the year: 1) stay away from injury prone players!

They have the entire preseason to hurt themselves. Conversely, if

www.indyeastend.com

you are entered in drafts move the “iron men” – guys who play every game, year in and year out, up in your ratings.

2) Remember this isn’t last season. Denver had the best defense in the league last year, does it now?

No. In fact, if the team doesn’t resign Von Miller it won’t be very good at all. Also consider the team lost both its starting quarterbacks (including Peyton Manning), which means the offense won’t be on the field as much. Therefore, it will be harder for the defense to control games.

3) Analyze the college draft carefully. There are a lot of talented college players coming into the

July 13, 2016

31

league. But remember, the key to fantasy relevance is playing time.

Ezekiel Elliot is a surefire first rounder because the Cowboys took him so early, because they have a great blocking line, and because they don’t have any other running backs except for Darrell McFadden who is, as usual, injured.

Derrick Henry out of Alabama, the 45th pick in the college draft, looks like he will be starting for the Titans and he should go early in fantasy drafts as well. Forget the first two picks, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, who are both quarterbacks. They won’t be Fantasy relevant until well into the season if at all.

On The Water Flukes Are Still Biting

Shinnecock Bay Fluking is very good in the bay as of late. Rampasture Point and west of there seems to be the better bite but there are still fish in the east cut and the basket area as well.

Some guys had great success with live lilies but a plain Jane rig with a piece of spearing or squid is all you need. Incoming tide is best with the cleaner water flooding the bay.

Peconic Bay The stripers seem to have moved out toward the east looking for some cooler water. The porgies are showing in good numbers around Rogers Rock and Robins Island. Sand worms and clams will bring these dinner plates to the table.

Ocean It is still a tough bite out here for fluke but fish are being caught in about 80 to 90 feet both to the far east and far west of the inlet.

Seabass are out on the reef and wrecks but it seems the bigger ones are being caught on the open bottom while fluking. Stripers are

under the schools of bunker. Just snag one and let it sink for that 50 pounder.

Shinnecock Inlet The rocks are holding some small seabass, fluke, triggerfish and a few porgies as well. The triggers are taking clams or Gulp. Drifting through at night with some eels is producing some good size stripers.

Shinnecock Canal Porgies are on the jetties at the north end and the south end has some fluke, blowfish, and blues when the tide is running.

Ponquogue Bridge Plenty of stripers being caught here, but not a lot of keepers. Clam chumming during the day and eels at night is what is working best.

Ocean Beaches The sand beaches to the east and west of the inlet are producing bass at night and blues during the day.

The jetties have also seen some bass and blues as well as some keeper

size fluke. Those who have chosen to dunk some clams during the day have had a few bass, too.

News The Hampton Bays Fire Department held their 6th annual fluke tournament on Saturday. They had 51 boats and over 175 anglers.

Many quality fish including up to six-pounders coming to the scale but

the winning fish came in at 7 3/4 pounds. This is a great tournament with a great party that grows each year. If you haven’t fished it yet you should consider it next season for sure.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

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

Set And Drift – Leaning In

Imagine that you are walking along the sidewalk, trying to get to the coffee shop on the corner. But the person next to you is leaning against your shoulder, keeping pace with you and pushing you away from it.

There is only one way you are going to make it to the coffee shop (short of belting the guy!). You have to lean into him to such a degree that you overcome the force of his push and the speed at which he is applying it.

This is the essence of “Set and Drift” when navigating as well.

Set and Drift The force that this rude dude above is applying to your shoulder is the “drift.” The speed at which he is walking while applying that force is the “set.”

If he were the tide, or the wind for that matter, the set is the direction of the force against your hull and the drift is the speed that the current is running at. The combination can be considered the force that is keeping you from (or speeding you to) the coffee shop.

Sail boaters are more concerned with these forces as they typically travel at far slower speeds than a powered vessel and thus

need greater distances to apply countervailing force to overcome it.

Imagine yourself heading out to the Canyons to do some shark fishing. You leave Moriches Inlet and your pal told you to make your point of sail 200o magnetic and put the hammer down for 60 nautical miles. “Plug 39o 40’ 29” N and 071o 14’ 36” W into your GPS and fish all night.”

So, you do – and when you’ve traveled the amount of time specified, you find yourself way to the east and south of your mark.

Why? Because the tidal forces of the Hudson have been just like that guy outside the coffee shop.

The set (direction) of the tidal current -- on your starboard quarter in this example -- pushed you to port (to the east of the rhumb line) while its force (drift) added to your speed and pushed you further south than engine speed alone would have taken you.

In reality, once you plugged a way point into your GPS, the GPS is calculating the “cross track error (XTS).”

What is that? It is the computer doing the calculations that we all used to do by hand, except the computer can do it constantly and continuously. (We had to wait for errors big enough to matter to the human computer!)

It is calculating how far off course you’ll be, taking into account your true course over the bottom, if you continue to ignore the set and

drift of the current (or wind for that matter!)

In the example above, it would start to show that you’ll end up well to the east of your mark – and you’ll get there ahead of schedule! Using your helm, you start to “lean in,” i.e., in this case, you would have to turn your helm over towards starboard until the GPS says that your XTS is zero.

Now, assuming that all these forces stay constant, you’ll arrive exactly where you intended (even if you get there ahead of schedule!)

But how many degrees should you have turned to starboard in this example? Rather than trial and error (“Turn a little more, dear, wait, now a little more, dear, wait.”), couldn’t you calculate it

July 13, 2016

33

precisely?

Yes, you can!

Take a quick look at the diagram on this page.

In the weeks ahead, we’ll spell out exactly how you relate all these vectors – as well as your boat speed since that adds more countervailing power as you run at higher speeds – into a precise calculation and give you a new Course To Steer (CTS).

And become a better seaman.

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.”
