Festival Fun All Month By Kitty Merrill
They didn’t roll up the sidewalks yet. (Locals know we never actually do.) Typically gorgeous September weather brings a breath of fresh, golden air and the chance to chillax at a bounty of fall festivals. Check out the deets on just a few of events in the offing. And, as always, be sure the grab The Independent every week for the latest 411 on cool things to do across the forks. The Montauk Seafood Festival sails into town this weekend – Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 PM, with tents at Montauk Marine Basin and 543 West Lake Drive. Parking is free and admission is $2.

MY SEPTEMBER LAMENT My Italian grandmother, who never learned a word of English in the 62 years she lived here, because she wasn’t sure the United States was going to work out, always said September was the month when leaves on trees and old people dried up and died. Grandma was a barrel of laughs. I know most people love September, but it’s a month that creeps me out. Plus, it comes too soon. If you love The Hamptons, and I do, the only thing that can cheer you up about September is the fact that at least those dreadful “August people” are gone. They’re
back in Yonkers or Nutley, New Jersey, or wherever the hell they live. On Labor Day the roads were clogged with cars heading west with bikes on their roofs and couples who were each silently trying to remember the name of a good divorce lawyer. Those men and women who aren’t married ended their summer romances last week. Suddenly “Mr. Right,” who was so interesting in July, is really something of a slug in September. And that incredibly cute woman who looked great by the dim light of Moby’s – the hot pop-up restaurant that was a favorite of the “Instagram their

pizza” crowd – didn’t look as good in the pre-autumn haze. As I said last year, I’m at that age where I misplace everything. And somehow, now that it’s already September, I seem to have misplaced summer. It was here a minute ago. What happened? The days dwindled down to a precious few and as best as I can remember, Memorial Day was just a few hours ago. At my age I’m discovering my biggest enemy is not the clock but the calendar. The other thing that is depressing me is the dark. Why does it have to get dark earlier and earlier? What’s wrong with year-round Daylight Savings Time? Why not rig the clocks so that it will still be light out until 7 PM all fall and winter? It will make everyone a lot happier. Want me to show you what I mean? On December 21st, Oslo, Norway, will have only 5 hours and 54 minutes of sunlight. Have you ever seen a happy Norwegian unless they were drunk? Neither have I. And what is it with those people

who control the calendar? Since when is it a good idea to put Labor Day a few minutes from the end of August? Come the revolution, when I’m in charge, Labor Day will be celebrated on September 30th. School won’t start until October 15th. It’s sad, but the anxiety of the end of summer never leaves you. It signals the end of everything that’s fun. If you pay taxes in East Hampton you must be really confused. Their annual Labor Day fireworks were held this year on August 27th, a week before Labor Day weekend. My guess – although I don’t have any proof – is that they were held before Labor Day to screw the police out of holiday overtime. What a mess Larry Cantwell and his crew made over something as wonderful as a fireworks show. For many years they were held the week of the 4th of July – just like every other town and village in the country. I can remember cars and families flooding the beach, and it was a great time for everyone. That ended when the village of East Hampton was pushed around by a few freaking piping plovers. Instead of gently moving the piping plover nests, or moving the fireworks site up the beach away from the nests, East Hampton surrendered. So the fireworks, until this year, were held on Labor Day. Next year I expect East Hampton will hold their fireworks on a snowy Tuesday in December. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Four Siblings, One Goal: To Change The World
Many girls who attend these schools are the first generation to do so. In Uganda, most women work full time from a young age to support their families in impoverished and, often times, dangerous places. Education is, in essence, freedom as these girls move away from home to safer neighborhoods. College is no longer a dream but a potential reality, an opportunity many Americans take for granted. “I was the community service representative for my grade and I got to meet one of the school administrators from the Kyamusansala school [in Uganda]. She explained what a big impact

Across the East End, kids headed back to school this week. For most students it’s just another year of academics, social clubs, sporting events, and counting down the days until the next holiday weekend. For the Kehoe family of Westhampton Beach and New York this year is about expanding a business and changing lives. Francesca, John, Daniella, and Carina are four siblings, ages 12 through 17, who started their own non-for-profit business helping girls in Uganda obtain an education. Realizing their fortunate circumstances, the Kehoes wanted to give others an equal opportunity at having a proper future. Introducing ‘On The Go PAKs’ (Personal Accessory Kits), mini accessory kits for people of all ages and genders that are sold for $10 to $20. They come in five different versions: Super Girl, Girl, Makeup, Utility, and School. Each PAK offers a range of products suitable for every day needs with all proceeds going directly to the Success Scholarship Fund. A single scholarship for one years’ room, board, school supplies and education costs a mere $700. What officially started in the beginning of this year has thus far raised $2,100, sponsoring two girls while currently working on a third. A sustainable business run by young siblings, most in high school, sounds like a family feud waiting to happen. But for this family it’s actually bringing them closer. They each take turns running the business while the others are preoccupied with school or activities. Through compromise, each person steps in and lends a hand or an idea in order the build a better future for these families and the world. “We were sitting at dinner and realized how lucky we were to go to school and have an education. Many people aren’t as lucky. As a family we wanted to do something. We came up with the idea to create a business that was self-sustaining and consistently sponsored scholarships,” Carina, age 12, explained. Francesca, age 17, added, “When we started, not many children at our school understood what we were doing and why. But at the end of the school year we did our very first fair [in Manhattan]. Everyone loved the idea and kids were asking ‘do you need help with your booth?’ The amount of support from the community has been great.”

Cutting The Ribbon East End Hospice’s new freestanding hospice facility, the Kanas Center for Hospice Care, opened its doors in mid-March and began admitting patients that same day. An official grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony was held last Thursday. “Through my many years of providing hospice care and as CEO of East End Hospice, I have envisioned offering our patients a serene environment that would blanket them with comfort, expert care and an inviting family atmosphere,” said Priscilla Ruffin, President & CEO. “The Kanas Center does exactly that. It was made possible by our community of generous donors, the
input of patients and employees and the dreams and dedication of our Board of Directors.” The opening of the Kanas Center is the end of a fifteen-yearlong journey from conception to completion. The eight-bed inpatient facility, designed by renowned architect Roger Ferris, will be the only one of its kind on the East End. Set on six acres of conservation land bordered by the Aspatuck River, the inpatient facility consists of low, one-storied gabled forms, residential in scale and joined by sky-lit hallways and common areas. Eight private rooms are equipped to manage the complex needs of the critically ill, including a spa

Artwork generously donated by well-known local artists and friends embrace the hallways, patient rooms, meeting areas and all throughout the building. “The Kanas Center for Hospice Care is not just a building but a symbol of the hospice philosophy. It is a place where people will live their final days in comfort and dignity,” explained Ruffin. “T hi s fac i l i t y i s a n at ural extension of our mission. It allows us to diversify the options available to terminally ill patients on the East End and offer them a welcoming home-like alternative when they cannot die in their own homes. At the same time, the facility can also provide temporary care, support and hospitable accommodations to patients who may need respite care.” The facility was named in honor of lead benefactors John Adam Kanas, Chairman, Pres. and CEO of BankUnited and his wife, Elaine M. Kanas, Chairman of the Board, Raynor Country Day School and Vice Chairman of the Board of The Stony Brook School. At an emotional groundbreaking ceremony on July 25th, 2014, Mrs. Kanas voiced the hope that the center will be a place where “each person will feel peace and solace, and the healing that sometimes comes in this life and sometimes in the next.” The Kanas Center for Hospice Care is located at 1 Meeting House Rd on Quiogue.

Indy Fit Get Screened September is prostate cancer awareness month. And this week Assemblyman Fred Thiele, urged men to get screened for the second most common cancer in men (behind lung cancer). It is estimated that one in seven men will be diagnosed with this form of cancer in his lifetime, and over 1700 men each year will succumb to prostate cancer in New York State alone. Moreover, prostate cancer disproportionately affects men within communities of color -- African American men in particular are at risk for this form of cancer. Besides race, other factors that influence one’s chances of developing this form of cancer are age, diet and, hereditary predispositions. Early screenings to detect prostate cancer can drastically improve sur vival rates. If diagnosed early, the five-year survival rate for prostate cancer is almost 100 percent. At ten years post diagnosis, 98 percent of men diagnosed early remain alive. Not all victims experience symptoms of prostate cancer. That’s why screening’s so important. Some men do notice changes in urinary or sexual function, like the need to urinate frequently or difficulty achieving an erection. Those and other symptoms could indicate prostate cancer or other diseases, so a check up is in order. Don’t be shy. The Prostate Cancer Foundation website provides oodles of information about the disease, treatments, and promising research. Visit www. pcf.org.

A new online program sponsored by the U.S. Army offers a way to get ahead of the crowd by providing free online test prep and course work. Targeted towards prep for the ACT and SAT, March2Success. com also offers prep for many other standardized tests with a curriculum designed by Peterson’s and the College Options Foundation. The website consists of study materials, full-length tests and guides on how to prepare and submit a better college application. Though the program targets grades eight to 12, these self-placed study programs are open to anyone over the age of 13 and are a powerful tool for a kid’s future plans as a professional in today’s world with a no-strings-attached method of providing a public service. To n y C a s t i l l o , c h i e f o f education for U.S. Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, KY, states, “March2Success is the Army’s gift to public education. We want students to stay in school and be qualified for life, whether they decide to join the Army or not.” Castillo insists the website is not a recruiting effort, though March2Success also helps with preparing for military entrance exams if one so chooses.

Wainscott School District Sued Over Bussing Changes By Rick Murphy
The Wainscott School District has entered into a contract with the Sag Harbor School District to provide bussing services for some 70 students in the tiny district. In doing so Wainscott opted not to re-up with the McCoy Bus Company, which is suing the district as a result, according to Stuart Rachlin, the Wainscott Superintendent. “We have been investigating shared services with other districts for quite some time,” Rachlin said. “We found costs are considerably lower [using Sag Harbor busses] than with McCoy.” Rachlin said the two districts “c r a f t e d a n i n t e r - m u n i c i p a l agreement.” As a result, Sag Harbor, which has its own bus company, will be the exclusive carrier for Wainscott students.

As East Hampton Town officials endeavor to study and envision the future of its hamlets, workshops and tours were held last spring, with the Montauk view held over till after the busy season. From September 14 to 17, a multi-day planning and design exercise, open to the public, will cast its eye on the future of Montauk. On Wednesday, September 14, meet at the gazebo on the green for a walking tour of the downtown area and discussion with town-hired planning experts at 10:30 AM. At 2:30 PM meet in the Gosman’s parking lot to tour and discuss the harbor area. At 6:30 PM, assemble at the Montauk Playhouse Community Center Gymnasium to share ideas and opinions about what’s working well, what needs fixing, and how best to planfor the hamlet’s commercial needs. On Thursday, September 15, at 6:30 PM, there will be a downtown Montauk public visioning workshop at the playhouse. Next night, same time, same place, vision Montauk harbor. And, finally on Saturday, September 17, at 9 AM, there will be an overview of planning and design ideas from the prior days’ workshops and tours.
25 students are in grades 1-3 in the tiny schoolhouse in Wainscott. About 35 graduates attend East Hampton schools, and a handful got to Sag Harbor, Ross, and/or BOCES. “We believe that Sag Harbor Union Free School District and Wainscott Common School entered into these inter-municipality contracts illegally and failed to follow the proper protocol set forth by the New York State Education Department (SED) or from past practice of other municipality shared agreements,” wrote Albert McCoy Jr., the president of McCoy Bus Company, in a letter to The Independent that appears in today’s newspaper. He did not return phone calls for comment.
“Based upon a review of publicly available records, it appears that Sag Harbor Union Free School District and Wainscott Common School entered into this agreement without engaging in a comprehensive analysis of the true itemized costs of transportation,” McCoy wrote. “We believe that the Districts’ failure to conduct a comprehensive itemized cost analysis and to solicit competitive vendor bids results in

higher transportation costs to the taxpayers of both districts,” he added. Rachlin said the savings for his district were “substantial” and that the bussing schedule with Sag Harbor is in place and was expected to begin yesterday morning. “I can’t comment any pending litigation,” Rachlin said when asked to respond to McCoy’s letter. Katy Graves, the Sag Harbor School District Superintendent, could not be reached by press time.

Eye On Education By Dr. Dominic Annacone
‘Packing’ For College As students get ready to go to their college and university classes, they generally assemble their computers, reference books, backpacks, stuff for the dorms, etc. But some students going to the University of Texas this fall will also be “packing” their guns since the Texas state legislature passed a law in 2015 that went into effect this month and allows the carrying of concealed guns on campus. I don’t buy the argument that armed students make a campus safer. Knowing that gun-carrying students are present in classes will

have a chilling effect on heated arguments and debates that are common as an integral part of many courses. Since there is no prerequisite psychological examination as part of entry requirements that I know of, what happens if disturbed students “lose it” on campus and they’re carrying guns? It’s ironic that the University of Texas is subject to this law. The nation’s first mass shooting occurred 50 years ago on August 1, 1966, at UT Austin when the sniper, Charles Whitman, killed 16 people firing from the school’s clock tower.

University of Texas professors seem to be unhappy with this new law. Who can blame them? If I’m a professor, I’ll probably think twice about failing a student. I might also be leery of one-on-one sessions with students that come in for meetings to discuss their potential for failing my course. I’d probably be updating my resume and sending it to colleges and universities in states that don’t allow guns on campus. Those resumes wouldn’t be going to institutions in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, or Wisconsin, since those states also allow the carrying of concealed weapons on campus. Parents have enough to think about in terms of the collegiate years. Paying astronomical tuition bills, their children’s health and lifestyle away from them, grades, matriculation, and so on. Now

I f Fe l i x C a v a l i e r e s e e m e d especially exuberant on August 28 at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center it was probably because he caught the vibes from the summer of 1965 – his own vibes. Back then his band, the Young Rascals, set up shop at a nondescript club in East Quogue, The Barge, which was right down the road. Before the summer was over it was the hottest nightclub in the
Northeast. It didn’t hurt that the guitarist Leslie West and his Vagrants had a gig across the street. It was a summer of unabashed debauchery with beach parties all day and rock all night. S t e v e n Va n Z a n d t , B r u c e Springsteen’s guitarist, called the Rascals “the first rock band.” Billy Joel recently said the Rascals “were the defining band of my life.” While there were rock n’ roll bands, they primarily played the

Chuck-Berry inspired music -- sped up 12-bar blues. Within a few months Ed Sullivan got the vibe, too, and the Rascals were on TV playing the hottest record in the world, “Good Lovin”. Cavaliere’s roots are in Soul Music, and that’s what the original band was about. It didn’t take long to find that out: playing his Hammond B-3 organ before a sold out house, he ripped into “In The Midnight Hour,” the Wilson Pickett classic and a staple of the Rascal’s
shows. Then Cavaliere took the audience on a little Soul primer, as he would do throughout the show, morphing into Sly Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” and then segueing into Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” referencing the two most prodigious students of the genre.

show – a tidbit of Wilson Pickett here, a Temptations tune there, a Motown melody woven into one of his own songs, long enough for a brief sing-along. Cavaliere once told this reviewer the record studio put pressure on him to write original songs to earn royalties, and that’s what he did, along with Eddie Brigati, the band’s other vocalist and his co-writer. “We wrote about love, because that’s what we were experiencing at the time.” He played many of his love songs: “A Girl Like You,” “A Beautiful Morning,” “Groovin,” and “How Can I Be Sure,” a break-up song that proved a harbinger in his real life. “Groovin” flowed into “Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie” and then “Just My Imagination” just as “Lonely Too Long” melted into “Ain’t To Proud To Beg” – The band never missed a note. One of the night’s highlights, though, was, taking Pickett’s “Mustang Sally” and ripping the beat through “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll,” “Land of 1000 Dances,” and “Play That Funky Music.” The band was on fire, and as is always the case there is no better venue than WHBPAC, a far cry from the sound we settled for at the parking lot of The Barge, as teens from Jersey, upstate, and Connecticut all made the pilgrimage to hear what all the commotion was about, only to find the place too packed to get in. No worries – the boys played loud, then and now. The Rascals are an electric rock band, literally, and always have been. The music pulsates and the rhythms churn hard. People dance, and the audience gleefully sings along at Cavaliere’s urgings.
Eternal Sound The band scored hit after hit back in the 1960s. “We were right there with the Beatles, tit for tat,” Cavaliere related in an earlier interview. On this night though, two of the highlights were more obscure tunes. “You Better Run,” penned by Cavaliere and Brigati but a hit for Pat Benatar, which damn near blew the roof off the place, courtesy of an incendiary guitar solo by the guitarist Mike Severs. (Vinnie Santoro on drums and vocals, Steve Hornbeak on keyboards, and Mark Prentice on bass and vocals, rounds out the touring band.) Cavaliere, his voice still full and vibrant, channeled the great Jackie Wilson in “Your Love is Bringing Me Higher and Higher” capturing every nuance while the band turned in

a delicate melodic groove behind him. In the summer of 1968, with ghettos burning and people rioting, Cavaliere wrote “People Got To Be Free” only to have Atco, his record company, refuse to release it. Cavaliere stiffened. Reluctantly, it was released and took off, going straight to the top of the charts and staying there. It was the perfect counterpoint to “Born To Be Wild,” the summer’s other hot play. It may not have stopped the rioting, but it certainly didn’t hurt. “It’s something I believed in, something I felt very strongly about,” he said. Cavaliere, obviously proud of the record (in truth he wrote the lyrics and the music though Brigati gets a co-credit) powered through it in full force. The finale could have been an obligatory version of “Good Lovin’” but really there is no such thing, especially this summer, the 50th anniversary of the song’s rapid ascension to the top of the charts. The driving rhythm, the pounding drums, the sheer joy or rock’s first anthem is irresistible, and make no mistake, the man behind the music is one of rock’s singular treasures, his rich voice and soaring Hammond B-3 instantly recognizable all over the world. And that’s what all the commotion was about, folks.
The History of Soul Cavaliere always eschewed the label bestowed on him, “The King Of Blue Eyed Soul” though he has reluctantly come to accept it. Pickett, Otis Redding, Wilson – these were Cavaliere’s peers. When chronicling the history of Soul Music, they were the crème de la crème of the 60s and 70s, and Cavaliere, a member of the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame, may well be at the top of the list. By the way, Leslie West had quite the summer as well, or what little of it he can remember. He formed a new band and made his way to Woodstock, where Mountain hit the big time. The original Rascals eventually disintegrated; Brigati and Cavaliere sued each other. All the money disappeared. The record labels made him pay for the brouhaha over “People Gotta Be Free.” He was branded a renegade, a troublemaker. He didn’t play by the rules. The major labels wouldn’t touch him. Frankie Valli told me they tried to make an example of Cavaliere to show other artists what would happen if they bucked the system, which was fueled by payola and

kickbacks. Cavaliere persevered, making his own jazz-tinged records and scoring a wonderful if unappreciated comeback album, “Dreams In Motion” in 1994. Today he lives and works in Nashville and records with the guitarist Steve Cropper, the legendary member of the Stax Studio house band Booker T and the
MGs. That’s him on the Otis Redding records (“Dock of the Bay”), and on Sam and Dave records like “Hold On I’m Coming” and of course, in The Blues Brothers movie. The Hammond B-3 still goes wherever Cavaliere goes, and he goes all over – he just got back from Japan. “It costs more to move than I do,” he once told me. That’s money well spent.

The Essential Felix The (New) Rascals Cavaliere
The Young Rascals 1966 (A-), the debut album features the boys looking more than a little ridiculous in their Little Lord Fauntleroy outfits on the cover. Basically, it was a typical set list from the summer of 1965 – “Midnight Hour,” “Mustang Sally,” and the first two (and arguably best) singles—“Ain’t Gonna Eat Out My Heart” and, of course, “Good Lovin’.” Time Piece 1968 (A+) At this point the band was so hot it was determined a greatest hits album was in order, which meant it was another sneaky way to get “Good Lovin’” on another extended vinyl release. All of the above mentioned songs are on it, plus newer releases like “A Girl Like You” and “How Can I Be Sure” and most notably, “Groovin’.” Freedom Suite 1969 (B-) The band tried to capitalize on “People Got To Be Free” by penning socially conscious words and music. The trouble was, everyone else was smoking pot and listening to acid music. “People” was the only single to make the charts. Once Upon A Dream 1968 (B) By this point the boys were immersed in psychedelics and determined to match the Beatles’ and other psychedelic bands. Unfortunately, they were a Rock and Soul band. The single “It’s Wonderful” ended with whistles blowing – a far cry from a sitar. Peaceful World 1971 (B) With his nemesis Brigati out of the band, Felix was indeed peaceful. He kept the Rascals drummer extraordinaire Dino Danelli, added the guitarist Buzz Feiten (Paul Butterfield Band) and embarked on a jazz tinged journey of exploratory music. It’s urbane, sophisticated and ambitious, but not radio friendly. Feiten’s “Icy Water” may be the most accessible track. The Island Of Real 1972 (A-) The Rascals were no longer cool, having been labeled passé a la the Beach Boys by rock’s ever-fickle record buyers. But like Brian Wilson, Cavaliere was at the height of his powers and letting his funk out with a widening array of crack studio musicians opening his eyes to world beats and alternative music.
Independent / Rick Murphy
Dreams In Motion 1994 (A+) Cavaliere’s masterpiece was tragically overlooked and never really escaped oblivion. Produced by Don Was, who resurrected Bonnie Riatt’s career, it features some of Cavaliere’s best songs. Unfortunately, none of them survive in his live act. Felix Cavaliere Live 2004 (A) This album is only available at Felix’s shows, which is a shame. It’s a live show that sizzles, especially when “Good Lovin’” morphs into “La Bamba,” “Hey Bo Diddley,” “Whole Lotta Love,” “What’s Going On,” and comes back again into an audience sing along of Good Lovin’”.
Guitarist Mike Severs and the Grammy winning bass player Mike Prentice are members of the New Rascals. Independent/Rick Murphy
Felix Cavaliere brings the funk on his national tour in the person of a brand new band led by guitarist Mike Severs, who, like Cavaliere, calls Nashville home. He’s worked with the likes of Dolly Parton, Rod Stewart, Paul Simon, Steve Winwood, and Brian Wilson before hooking up with the Rascals. Vinnie Santoro, on drums and vocals, has played and toured with several music legends most notably Mary Chapin Carpenter, Roy Buchanan, and Rodney Crowell. Steve Hornbeak on keyboards can reproduce the horn sections that played on original productions of “Midnight Hour” and “Mustang Sally” and also sings. He’s worked with acts as diverse as Vince Gil and Alice Cooper. Mark Prentice, the bass player, also sings backing vocals for the Rascals. He is a Grammy winning producer and has played with Amy Grant, Elvis Costello, John Fogarty, and many others. R.M.

The Films That Matter By Miles X. Logan
Just as our gorgeous beach days evaporate, our merciful lord bestows us with wonderful nights – that is, for moviegoers. It’s Oscar season – most of the contenders will be released in the next few months, the theory being the fresher the better: Academy voters often suffer from long term memory loss. It’s a “what have you done lately” industry. Let’s take a look at some of the Best Movie candidates. Birth Of A Nation is the obvious frontrunner. The story of Nat Turner, the rebel slave who led a rebellion in Virginia, resonates on a lot of levels. After last year’s debacle, the Academy is sure to give careful consideration to projects fronted by African-Americans, and Nate Parker has been working on this project for years. Casey Affleck, the Affleck brother who can actually act, gets his due in Manchester By The Sea, written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan. Like Birth it was well received at Sundance. It’s set for release in mid-November. Oddsmakers are giving Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk a lot of love. It’s
a war drama adapted from the Ben Fountain novel of the same name about an Iraq war hero honored at halftime of a Dallas Cowboys game who learns he still has to go back for more active duty. Two-time Oscar winner Ang Lee directs, so this film comes with potent Oscar pedigree, an important factor. Check all the boxes for Fences, which stars Academy favorite Denzel Washington, who also directs. It’s based on the play by August Wilson, who also wrote the screenplay. Viola Davis co-stars, and she’s been nominated twice. Loving, a movie about an interracial love affair written and directed by Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) is another near certainty. Ruth Negga (Warcraft) and Joel Edgerton (Black Mass) get the lead roles. Sully, set for release this week, has all the markings of a contender. It’s director, Clint Eastwood and its star, Tom Hanks are both multiple Oscar winners, and everyone knows the story of the plane that landed in the Hudson River. Lion is a real sleeper. Brilliantly conceived and filmed, it’s about a boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta. He returns 25-years later
to search for his family. Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Rooney Mara (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) are said to be terrific. Aliens inhabit the earth in Arrival. Academy winners Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker and Jeremy Renner decide how to save the world while working on acceptance speeches. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is Tim Burton’s latest. It’s out at the end of the month. Ten Cloverfield Lane is a tight little sleeper starring the oftenoverlooked John Goodman. Two very hot actors, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, team up in La La Land, about a struggling jazz musician. Young Harvard-educated Damien Chazelle (Whiplash) writes and directs. Bio films have been Oscar favorites over the years (Ray, Walk The Line). There are two notable entries this year: Jackie with Natalie Portman playing the former first lady, and LBJ, a Rob Reiner film
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
IN THE NEWS
starring, of all people, Woody Harrelson. There are some films released earlier in the year that deserve consideration. Jungle Book, Disney’s annual epic adventure, received a lot of love from critics when it was released in April. Zootopia was another well-received animated effort. Tim Miller’s Deadpool is an acquired taste to be sure but is brimming with originality. The Lobster was ambitious. The question is whether it was too weird to receive recognition from the Academy.

By Rick Murphy
RICK’S SPACE You Make Your Own Bed . . .
It was National Dog Day last Friday so of course my dog celebrated – by getting sick in the bed. It happened at 4 AM while we were sleeping. Regular readers know I sleep quite soundly, especially after having lasagna and a couple glasses of wine and then staying up late to watch a ballgame. “You have to get up! You have to get up,” Karen kept repeating while violently shaking me. “Is the house on fire?” “No.” “Then I don’t have to get up,” I said as I nodded out again. “The dog threw up,” Karen said, panic in her voice. “She’s a dog. She probably ate a bug. Go to sleep.” “She threw up on my side of the bed,” she said. “Crap happens,” I replied. “You can sleep over on this side, but no toesies.” Next thing I know, Karen was pulling the covers off the bed, and then the sheet. Then she wanted the fitted sheet, which necessitated my reluctantly getting out of bed (I curled up on the floor). This whole business of making the bed escapes me. As a youngster my mom always made the bed for me until I was 24 or so. In the interest of full disclosure even after I moved out I would ask her to come over to my place and make my bed, even after my first marriage. Karen has the whole “made bed experience” down. We have skirts and pads and fitted sheets and quilts and duvet covers and matching pillowcases and shams.
They have, like 550 threads, which means they were spun by magical faeries who live up by the North Pole in the same zip code as Santa and down the block from Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. When Karen makes the bed “fresh” (that’s laundry lingo) it looks like it came from an ad from the Elegant John. It looks too perfect to mess up. In fact, she gets mad if we actually use the bed – we sleep on top until the dog finally messes it up. In all these years I have never made a bed. Sure, I’ve slung the quilt over the waterbed in my day. I used to pretend I was on a raft in the middle of the Atlantic but that the quilt was waterproof and the raft could never roll over because it was like a gyroscope. After that I spent a couple years in a sleeping bag pretending I was in the wilderness, except a bear couldn’t maul me as long as I stayed inside. I eventually outgrew these childish musings, oh about 10 years ago. I used to recall stories my buddies, who had been in the U.S. Marines, used to tell. If the Sergeant came into the barracks and couldn’t bounce a quarter off your made bed you had to do 200 pushups. This single factoid changed my entre life. I want dearly to serve my

country, but I didn’t know how to make a tight bed. I also could never do more than five or six pushups, so that weighed on me. (In the interest of full disclosure I should point out I also have an aversion to people shooting guns at me, too.) The only way I could be in the Marines was if my mom or Karen came in to make my bed every day – and let them do the 200 pushups if the quarter didn’t bounce. After a half-hour we finally get back in bed and the lights go out. “We have to get up,” she suddenly says. “The fitted sheet is on wrong.” Now I was getting mad. I’m not Euclid or Pythagoras or Pygmalion but I’m sure it is a mathematical certainty that it doesn’t matter

which corner goes where. But Karen says there is a tag on one corner of the sheet and it goes on the bottom left. That’s probably how the dog knows where to puke, I figured. None of this would have happened had the dog been able to crawl out of the back of the bed. But it was so freaking tight the poor thing felt trapped, like she was in a sleeping bag with a bear clawing at her or on a raft in shark infested waters. No wonder the poor thing got sick. So now I just pull out the sheets and blankets that are tucked in at the bottom so the dog – and me – can pretend we are in a tent. We just have to hope that Marine Sergeant doesn’t show up.

District Agrees To Settle HELP WANTED On Friday, Reclaim New York announced Southampton School District officials agreed to settle the suit the organization launched last month. At issue was the district’s refusal to comply with the citizens advocacy organization’s request for financial documents. The suit alleged that the Southampton School District failed to follow state transparency laws when they denied or ignored requests to reveal expenditure information the public is clearly entitled to know. (Southampton schools only recently provided the expenditure documents requested in a Freedom of Information Law request filed four months ago.) On Friday Reclaim New York executive director Brandon Muir offered the following statement in response to Southampton School District agreeing to reimburse legal fees to settle an Article 78 lawsuit. “Southampton School District finally ran out of excuses for skirting Freedom of Information Law. After months of wasting time, and forcing Reclaim New York to spend thousands of dollars in legal expenses, their decision to reimburse attorney’s fees is an admission they were wrong to deny repeated requests for basic spending information. “This victory says loud and clear that no New Yorker should have to spend huge amounts of time and money to access public records that government owes them under the law. Further, it adds to precedent that will help protect Southampton residents from having to fight through illegal barriers to transparency on their own dime. “There are still over 30 local governments on Long Island that
have not complied with Reclaim’s requests to show how they are spending taxpayer dollars. These bad actors need to step up and provide documents now. Their sketchy behavior means they are at best not willing to lift a finger to comply with transparency law, and at worst, trying to hide from their residents. “Citizens must be empowered to lead the way to open government that proactively posts information online. Until the Southampton School Districts of the world stop getting in the way, Reclaim will continue to hold them accountable.” Among other East End entities, Riverhead Town initially denied Reclaim’s request for financial information, eventually complying with the Freedom of Information queries after four months. Last spring, Reclaim announced the launch of The New York Transparency project. It targeted 3400 statewide government entities, with staff sending FOIL requests to 253 municipalities and school districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties. By May, 57 islandwide municipalities and school districts either ignored, denied, or failed to complete requests for spending information. Last month the Press News Group similarly filed suit against the Southampton School District for failing to comply with FOIL, specifically its refusal to release the results of an investigation of former school superintendent Scott Farina. Farina resigned and was awarded a $300,000 payout last spring. School officials said the resignation was the direct result of the investigation, but would provide no details of the probe paid for by district taxpayers.

Insight
As of this writing Monday morning the Bonac Footrace was underway, and Hermine was underwhelming. If the storm continues to fizzle, we can expect glorious September weather the rest of this week. Come out, come out, locals. Hit the beaches, the villages for an array of autumn activities and the bricks for the annual “Over the Bridge’ walk/run in Hampton Bays. Enjoying its sixth year, the walk/race takes place on Saturday morning and promises runners breathtaking vistas from the Ponquogue Bridge and along Dune Road. Check the Hampton Bays Lions Club website to find out all about it. Not into running? This month promises oodles of opportunities for locals and savvy September visitors to get out into our still-lush natural world. Work out, sightsee, or enjoy a glass of wine on the North Fork. It ain’t over folks . . . as we well know.

True Costs To the Editor, We have requested that Sag Harbor School District and Wainscott Common School District provide us with documents related to the true itemized costs of the shared transportation services agreement entered into between Sag Harbor and Wainscott. Sag Harbor and Wainscott have voluntarily failed to locate or provide documents or any information to indicate that the costs in their shared services agreement reflect the true itemized costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of a competitive transportation business. Accordingly, McCoy Bus Company, Inc. and Montauk Student Transport, Inc. have filed a lawsuit against Sag Harbor Union Free School District, Sag Harbor Board of Education, Wainscott Common School, and Wainscott Common Board of Trustees. Our position challenges the process by which Sag Harbor Union Free School District, their
Board of Education, Wainscott Common School, and their Trustees entered into their transportation agreement for shared services. We believe that Sag Harbor Union Free School District and Wainscott Common School entered into these inter-municipality contracts illegally and failed to follow the proper protocol set forth by the New York State Education Department (SED) or from past practice of other municipality shared agreements. In addition, it appears from the publicly available records that taxpayers of one district are improperly subsidizing taxpayers of the other district. Moreover, based upon a review of publicly available records, it appears that Sag Harbor Union Free School District and Wainscott Common School entered into this agreement without engaging in a comprehensive analysis of the true itemized costs of transportation. We believe that the Districts’ failure to conduct a comprehensive itemized cost analysis and to solicit competitive vendor bids results in higher transportation costs to the taxpayers of both districts. We believe the costs under the current shared services agreement are not appropriate because the transportation

What did you think of the record-breaking heat this summer?
Continued from page 19.
Yupei Vong It’s August. I guess I expected it. They said it was record-breaking heat but I can’t say it seemed hotter than any other summer to me. But I did go to the beach a lot and I drank a lot of fluids.
Compare The Records Dear Editor, I am proud to support Lee Zeldin’s bid for re-election; our Congressman not only understands the issues facing Long Island and the nation, but he is a man that takes action. One only needs to look at Anna Throne-Holst’s record as our Town Supervisor to see why she has no place as our member of Congress. Knowing full well that Long Island has some of the highest property taxes in the nation, Anna voted to raise them as a member of the Southampton Town Board. She also took it upon herself to overdevelop the vulnerable Pine Barrens, despite concerns from environmental experts. Beyond this, she had utterly failed at keeping our communities safe, and allowed crime in Flanders to skyrocket out of control. Anna’s “solutions” did little to improve the struggling community. There can be no greater indicator of Anna’s incompetence than the fact that most of the Democrats within the Town of Southampton, the people that know her best, had endorsed her opponent during the primary. By comparison, Lee Zeldin has consistently delivered on his promises and put Southampton on the right track; his impressive list of accomplishments speaks for itself. Congressman Zeldin’s record on the environment is impeccable, be it his legislation to improve water quality, restore our coastlines, or protect Plum Island from being sold to private developers. In the State Senate, Zeldin sponsored the nation’s strongest property tax cap and repealed the MTA Payroll Tax for most employers. He permanently reauthorized the Zadroga Act to provide health care for our 9/11 first responders, and has pushed for stronger foreign policy to fight back against the threat of terror. I am pleased to give Lee Zeldin my support. In less than one term in Congress, Congressman Zeldin has enacted more good policies and secured funding for important projects to advance Southampton forward more than Anna Throne-Holst had throughout her entire tenure as the Town’s Supervisor. I encourage all voters this November to simply compare their records. The choice will be clear. DAMON HAGAN SOUTHAMPTON TOWN REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN

Misael Vizcaino I’m from the heat. I’m from the Caribbean, from the Dominican Republic. And I work with swimming pools too, so I was outside all day. Everyone was saying how hot it was but in truth, I’ve seen worse.
Jin Xi Chen I think this year was a bit hot. But I work in the kitchen of a restaurant and it can be crazy there. And hot! The heat was good for summertime because with the weather, the hotter it is, the more people come out here.
Nancy King It was hot. But air conditioning was the solution. But I’m from Florida so I was actually escaping the heat by coming here. Nothing is as hot as Florida in the summer.

We loved seeing the changes education made in these girls lives,” Daniella, age 14, humbly described. The first handwritten letter, received on August 1, was from 12 year old Bernadette, one of three girls in a family of six, from Kalungu GTC. The letter touched the heart of all those who read it. In short, Bernadette writes, “I love very much my studies . . . If God helps me I want to become a doctor in the future so that I can save many people in Uganda who are dying because of sickness . . . My school has improved buildings such as the chapel, library, clean kitchen, water points . . . The nice feeding at KGTC which makes us healthy. Kalungu GTC is the only school in Uganda which is helping us to fulfill my dream in future, helping me to grow socially, physically and spiritually. I thank you for enabling us have advanced education. May the loving God bless you abundantly.” John, age 16, is prepared for the future. “One step at a time. Our

continuing goal is to help as many girls as possible through education, to have the opportunity we have, that we’re fortunate to have.” “By doing this we hope the idea catches on. We hope to get rid of poverty and start a chain reaction,” Carina concluded. So far the PAKs have been sold at St Mary’s Farmers Market in Hampton Bays, the Farmingville flea market, and a school street fair Manhattan. For the upcoming school year the PAKs are expected to be sold at Convent of the Sacred Heart and Xavier High School book stores, where the Kehoe family attends their academic year. Though inventory is low at the moment the family plans to restock and advertise through email blasts. Proud mother Anastasia Kehoe says it was all solely her children’s idea. “It’s an amazing thing. Something they formulated on their own. Thank God for the Internet, which allows them to do the business from home while still keeping up with their academics. They have worked very hard. They could’ve taken the money and kept it for themselves but they wanted to give all the profits to scholarships for children around the world. It was their idea to put those people ahead of their own interests. It almost brings me to tears.”

On The Water Striped Bass Action Heating Up Shinnecock Bay The Basket and Rampasture Point have been the best producers this week for keeper fluke. Mostly on the incoming with some gulp or spearing; but it seems that some fresh snagged squid is working the best. Peconic Bay Some porgies around Rogers Rock and Robins Island. Sandworms and clam chum for these guys. Cocktail blues and snappers are running in the creeks and inlets. Further out by Shelter Island, there’s talk of some good sized kingfish, too. Ocean The seabass bite has been very good as of late, and some good size ones too. All of the wrecks and reefs are holding them. The fluke bite remains out in 80-90 feet. Reports of good fish around the pots and on the reef. A couple of reports from the Cheese House but not much to speak of. This action will most likely have to wait a bit until our angry ocean lays down and cleans up. Shinnecock Inlet Up until the storm came by the fishing was very good here; blues and stripers were running at night and the fluke bite was excellent during the day. Blues were blitzing right up through Saturday night. Let’s hope it gets back to normal soon. Shinnecock Canal Short stripers have been running through here and are also in the local marinas, too. This is a catch and release for sport action on small Kastmasters and SnapperZappers (crush those barbs). Snappers making a showing when the locks are closed. Lots of small seabass on the bottom. Porgies are up at the north end from the jetties. Ponquogue Bridge The striped bass bite has picked up some in the past few days and

nights. Live eels, bunker, and live snappers have been the ticket over here. Snappers are running around the pilings and the fluke are still holding at the floating dock.
Ocean Beaches The jetties have seen some bass and blues as well as some keeper size fluke. Those who have chosen to dunk some clams or bunker during the day have had a few bass. The sand beaches to the east and west of the inlet are producing bass at night and some fluke and blues during the day. The albies have been making a showing but right place/ right time has been the ticket. Offshore Shark fishing has been OK, with a few makos, hammerheads, browns and blue sharks all in play a short run from the inlet. Lots of bunker and mackerel baits swimming around out there too. A few yellowfin and wahoo have been caught east around the Butterfish Hole on the troll. Capt. Scott Jeffrey East End Bait & Tackle 170 East Montauk Hwy. Hampton Bays, NY 11946 631-728-1744

On Champions Of The Classic Hamptons Horseback By Carrie Catherine Holmes
The Hampton Classic ended Sunday, allowing equestrians to bask in their victories before preparing for another winter season of training and competition. The whole spectrum of ages and divisions were open for viewing, with some of the world’s greatest riders exhibiting and the newest
talent just a few rings over. The big ticket, the $300,000 Grand Prix on Sunday, went to Richie Moloney of Ireland. After artfully flying over the course and gaining a 98-point lead over the second place rider, he took the prize for the third time. One of only 5 riders to make it to the jump off, his competition consisted of world champions like Beezie Madden and
McLain Ward. For the second consecutive year, two-time Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward won the $75,000 Douglas Elliman Grand Prix Qualifier. Riding HH Carlos Z, his student Adrienne Sternlicht beat his clean round in the $15,000 Merrill Lynch Speed Derby on Raia D’Helby. Mattias Tromp took first after blowing the competition away

Riding around The Hamptons was a bit of a challenge, especially with the Hampton Classic Horseshow in town, over the holiday weekend. We made do though, staying close to home and watching the Polo players practice. Towards the end of the week, we decided to venture out and what better place to go than the Classic? The fun of visiting old coaches and nearly falling off when Beezie Madden rode by can only be surpassed by the adrenaline rush of competition.

Local rider Katherine Strauss took the Blue Ribbon at the $25,000 Campbell Stables Show Jumping Derby with her horse, Capacity, also named Junior Jumper Champion. The $10,000 Hermes Hunter Classic was taken by Stephanie Danhaki with Enough Said. Despite all the excitement around the horses, other forms of entertainment were not overshadowed. A petting zoo filled with everything from Alpaca to pigs, The Bellini Family Circus, and a “touch tank” of local sea life offered by the SOFO Natural History Museum, ensured no one was left without something to do.

Football Season Is Upon Us By Rick Murphy
Unfortunately, the quality of high school football on the East End has been in decline for the better part of the past decade. One reason is the changing demographics, more and more of the immigrants filling the classrooms come from countries that don’t play football on a youth level. There is also the absence of local youth programs – biddy and junior league football programs have been eliminated in most communities, many for lack of interest. There is also a national problem – serious injuries make some parents uneasy, and they channel their children to other after school pursuits or ban them from participating in contact sports altogether. Nevertheless, it’s football season, and there are some proud traditions hereabouts to uphold. Riverhead, a Class AA enrollment school, has been one of the better programs on Long Island, with three championships to show in the last seven years. Unfortunately, this is a rebuilding year for Coach Leif Shay’s team, and a 43-0 pasting at the hands of North Babylon in the season opener Saturday was not an encouraging sign. The Blue Waves will compete in Conference II. The Hurricanes of Westhampton Beach return to Conference III, where they rallied to finish 5-5 last season and earned a berth in the
Class A semifinals. A strong running attack anchored by Dylan Laube and Zach Arrasate is the team’s offensive calling card; Laube also anchors a defense that improved markedly as the season progressed. Kings Park comes to town Friday evening at 6 for the season opener. The rest of the East End schools are in Division IV. Hampton Bays, 4-5 in Coach Rich Doulos’s second season, is looking for a second
straight playoff seeding. Two-way star Colin Smith returns for his senior season. The Baymen welcome Miller Place Friday for the season opener. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 PM. Mercy, 4-4, has been a perennial playoff team under Coach Jeff Doroski. Greenport, Southold and Mattituck (3-6) field a combined team coached by Jack Martilotta. Keegan Syron will get the ball often

and look to make some big plays. The Porters travel to Riverhead Friday at 6 PM to take on Mercy. East Hampton, an improved squad under new Coach Joe McKee, will look to improve on last season’s 2-6 mark. Bonac’s game plan was to give up junior varsity to rekindle the varsity program. The Bonackers take step one Saturday at Port Jefferson. Southampton/Pierson suffered through an 0-8 season and looks to improve in Coach Bruce Muro’s third year. Avery Johnson should make the Mariners better on defense, and sophomore quarterback Shawn Stelling is a comer. Southampton looks to break the schneid Saturday at Wyandanch. Kickoff is 2 PM.

Eyes Can Deceive
So what have Fantasy owners learned from the NFL preseason? Nothing much – and that is the lesson to be learned. It really doesn’t matter what the stats were or who did what. The name of the game in preseason is to get out alive, and coaches are careful not to put their good players in a situation where something bad can happen – like an injury. But you can learn from studying preseason action. Some players will force themselves onto a team, and thus into Fantasy relevance, by performing brilliantly. Victor Cruz is the most notable player to have done this – he wasn’t even expected to make the NY Giants team his rookie season and he became a star – after catching several long TD passes in preseason. Of course watching the games on TV gives you an edge over your competitors, but you need to understand what you are seeing.
Let’s take baseball: if you put a mediocre baseball pitcher up against an awful hitter he will look like Sandy Koufax. But the same pitcher will get hit hard by good hitters. Similarly, if you take an NFL backup QB and put him in against a third string defense he’s going to shred it up. But if you put the same QB against a good defense he’ll fall apart. It’s all relative. In other words, don’t let your eyes play tricks on you. The most important thing to know about preseason is injuries. Players who get nicked up often times recover -- and sometimes don’t. A.J, Green had to leave the game last Sunday because of an injury: he says it’s not serious. Still, until a doctor says that, be cautious. Jamal Charles is still recovering from last season’s torn ligament -- he looks sluggish. Jordy Nelson, who missed all of last season, has been tentative,

and rumors are flying he still isn’t fully recovered. This is huge Fantasy news, because it impacts his QB, Aaron Rodgers, and the entire Green Bay team. We need to see Nelson run, and run hard, before we give up a second round pick on him. Larry Fitzgerald and Dez Bryant are two other top receivers who aren’t playing. Dez has a concussion – that can prove problematic down he road. Tyler Eifert is out with an ankle injury . . . he says he’ll be back in four weeks. Know this: players, and the team hierarchy, usually lie about how serious an injury s. They do this for two reasons: they don’t want the opposition to take advantage of them, and they may
want to go out and make a trade to replace the player. The quickest way to improve your fantasy team is to find an unknown who you can take late in your draft who ends up becoming an impact player, like Cruz back in the day. Washington traded away its starting running back, Alfred Morris. Lo and behold, the top three guys on the depth chart are all currently injured: Matt Jones, Chris Thompson, and Ketih Marshall. That may open the door for Mack Brown. Tony Romo is out again, and will probably miss most of the Fantasy season. That opens the door big time for Dak Presscott, who could seize the job for good if he plays well.

Coast Guard Auxiliary News By Vincent Pica
Commodore, First District, Southern Region (D1SR) United States Coast Guard
We’re Being Boarded, Now What? If you’ve ever seen the reflection of the blue-rotating hailing light in the reflection of your windshield, you’ve felt the quickening in certain parts of your body – “Jeez, what did I do wrong??” The United States Coast Guard can and will board you at their discretion. They need no search warrant, no provocation, no reason other than “Good Morning, sir. My name is Officer Jones with the US Coast Guard - the Coast Guard is here today to ensure you are in compliance with all applicable federal laws and regulations.”
What Happens First First, you will be impressed by the youthfulness and the polite and professional demeanor of these highly trained federal officers. The very first question that they will ask you, before they even step off their vessel onto yours, is, “Without reaching for them or touching them,
do you have any weapons on board?” Subtly but powerfully, the tone is set: “I am polite. I am professional. I mean business.” Let’s assume (and hope) that the answer to that question is no, since I would need a lot more space than this column if the answer is yes.
What Happens Next The inspection that follows, with a few standard exceptions, is driven largely by the size of the vessel. Your actual registration needs to be aboard and current. The “HIN” number, like your car’s “VIN” number, needs to be the same on your registration and on your boat (low on the starboard side of the transom.) If they don’t match, someone has a lot of explaining to do. The registration numbers must be of proper size (at least 3”), of contrasting color to your hull and be the most forward of any numbering or lettering on the boat. If you have a “MSD” (Marine

Sanitation Device, a.k.a. a “head” or toilet), regardless of the size of your vessel, it must conform to regulations. All the bays and creeks are “No Discharge Zones” so, if there is an over-board through-hull from the MSD holding tank, it must be in the locked/closed position and the key must under the control of the skipper. It can be seized closed or, lastly, the handle can be removed and it must be in the closed position. The rest is largely going to be driven by the size of your vessel: • How many personal flotation devices (life jackets) – at least one for everybody aboard, must be in good working order and readily available. • Fire Extinguishers – boat size dependent but all must be in working order. • Flares – boat size dependent but all must good to go, i.e., unexpired. And so on and so forth.
What Happens Then? There are three outcomes from here. First and best, you will get a Report of Boarding and it is marked, “No violations.” You are good to go for the season. S e c o n d l y, y o u r R e p o r t o f Boarding could be marked “Written Warning” about some violation that has not risen to the level of Notice of Violation. One caveat: if the boarding officer returns to the station and finds that you already have been given a warning for the same issue, your notice becomes a Violation. That is also the third outcome that could happen right at the boat – a “Notice of Violation” is issued. There are two general outcomes

from here. If the boarding officer believes that the nature of the violation is inherently unsafe, you will be directed to follow the Coast Guard back to the dock. They are not going to allow you to keep fishing with some aspect of your boat that can lead to serious injury or death to you, your crew or other boaters. Secondly, it can take on the aspect of a driving violation. The notice is mailed to the Coast Guard hearing office in Portsmouth, Virginia. There the boarding report will be reviewed by a case officer where fines, further letters of violations, etc., will be issued. You will be notified by mail and you will have time (15 days) to file an appeal.
How To Avoid All This? The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary conducts free vessel exams all season long – and they are not enforcement events. If your boat fails virtually the same inspection that would be conducted by the regulars, you get a report that details the deficiency – and the inspector’s cell phone number. He or she will tell you, “When you have this addressed, call me. I will come down and re-run the inspection.” This results in a USCGAux sticker of compliance being affixed to your windshield. Did I mention the price? Free. 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, and we will help you “get in this thing.”

Nice work, Chicken Little. Somebody pressed the wrong button Saturday night and launched a warning on TV telling all county residents to evacuate immediately. It was soon removed and officials rushed to backpedal, with County Executive Steve Bellone blaming FEMA and the feds remaining mum.
