Springs Family Attends Inauguration

By Kitty Merrill

Beyoncé singing the National Anthem, and the president and Michelle Obama within shouting distance. “It was a really amazing sight, all of a sudden we are looking at the podium and then President Obama walks towards us through the red drapes. I never thought I would be that close to our President.

It feels pretty amazing to know you are a part of the 57th Presidential Inauguration. It’s history and I’ll remember it forever,” said Andrew McPartland, 13, of Springs.

“It was a bucket list item,” his mother Mary McPartland offered Monday evening as she and Andrew headed to the airport to board a

plane home from the Capitol. “The flags waving and all these crazy Americans waving their little flags, it’s overwhelming, the patriotism . . . Every healthy American should do this at least once in their lifetime.

It’s really a people’s thing.”

“We had a close view, so I can definitely say I felt like we were part of the swearing in,” Andrew continued. “We saw the Chief Justice, Mrs. Obama and the girls.

They looked really nice. Beyoncé was amazing.”

At one point, Mary related, Andrew climbed atop a cement pedestal, and “A lady from Texas paid him $20 to take a picture with her camera.” It was estimated that 800,000 people attended Monday’s

inaugural ceremonies.

After the swearing in, the McPartlands attended the official parade. “We saw Vice President Biden pass us in the parade. It was a great feeling to study all about the US government and then to see it all up close,” Andrew, an eighth grader at Springs School, related.

The city was “nuts,” Mar y reported, referring to the crowds.

But, she said, the feeling was nothing like New Year’s Eve in Times Square. Order blended with an atmosphere of elation. “It was open, orderly and friendly,” she said, noting the weekend’s events were “really designed for the people.”

The pair elected to skip the inaugural ball, because there was

How the pair came to be in DC was the result of a lucky sequence of events. The family made trips to the capitol over the years and hadn’t visited in a while. Months ago, Mary considered booking a trip, and an email alert touting $49 flights sealed the deal. Some time went by and she started to look at hotel websites.

Gregory Blass, DSS Commish, Resigns Under Pressure

By Rick Murphy

A raging controversy over a Hampton Bays motel being used as a homeless shelter took a new turn this week when the County Commissioner of Social Service abruptly resigned.

Gregory Blass, who had made a personal visit to The Independent office last week to make his case for the shelter, was at odds with Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, who in the end had the ear of County Executive Steve Bellone.

Throne-Holst visited Bellone earlier this month to complain about the Hidden Cove Motel on West Tiana Drive; about 30 units had been filled with social services recipients, though a county law limits the number of homeless units in any one location to 12.

“I would resign,” Blass told The Independent, if Bellone intervened on Throne-Holst’s behalf. It proved to be a prophetic statement.

Three rent paying tenants complained they were being forced out of their dwellings because the county was willing to pay the landlord, LAML Realty, considerably more in rent. The tenants who received eviction notices included an 88 year-old woman and her disabled daughter. Their monthly rent had abruptly been raised from

about $700 to $1150 when the county began moving SS recipients in. The county reportedly pays an additional fee to the Community Housing Initiative (CHI) to manage the facility, provide transportation to residents, and staff the facility with security personnel.

Blass said the facility was a “crime center” before DSS took it over, and claimed local police “thanked me” for making it safer.

Neighbors who live on the block told a different tale however, claiming among other things that residents stole their mail and that managers at the motel harassed those neighbors who complained.

Police had to be called to quell disruptions several times.

Throne-Holst complained that the change of use from a transient motel to a homeless shelter was illegal under the town code. Blass said he believed state law took precedence over the county and town codes.

Not so, said Tiffany Scarlato, a Southampton Town Attorney, “if the local law is more stringent than the state law it takes precedence,” she said.

Scarlato sent Blass a letter on January 3 warning that if Hidden Cove didn’t address the zoning issues the town would sue.

Bellone “assured me it wouldn’t

come to that,” Throne-Holst reported after her meeting with the county executive. “He said plans were being implemented for an alternate program.”

No one is publicly linking Blass’s resignation with the Hidden Cove controversy. In fact, Bellone went out of his way to praise Blass.

“It is with profound respect for his distinguished career in public service that I accept the resignation of Gregory Blass as Commissioner of the Department of Social Services,” he wrote in a press release. “Commissioner Blass has been involved in public service for more than 35 years in positions ranging from Presiding Officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, New York State Family Court Judge, Commissioner of the Department

24 hour service

to the Hampton Jitney, JFK, LaGuardia, Islip Airports & NYC

of Social Services and as a JAG Officer in the United States Navy.

Given Commissioner Blass’ unique resume, it will be impossible to fill his shoes with someone of equivalent experience.”

The resignation didn’t help the plight of Nick Saridakis, another resident and vocal critic of Blass and CHI who is being evicted from Hidden Cove. The sheriff’s office sent an officer to his dwelling the day before Blass resigned and ordered him to vacate the premises within 72 hours. As of this writing it has not been rescinded, though ThroneHolst alerted Bellone on Friday and asked the town attorney to look into the matter.

DOGGIE GUN CONTROL I wrote this column 13 years ago.

It was based on a true story that was reported on every news outlet. Given the furor over gun control these days the column is as relevant as ever.

My favorite story of the week . . . no, make that my favorite story of the year . . . would you believe the decade? . . . is the story of Benji, the 60-pound poodle that shot and killed his master.

If you missed this in the newspapers and on television, here’s what happened. It seems that Benji’s

owner had bought himself a new gun and was demonstrating how to use it to a friend. As he cocked the gun, Benji, who was stretched out semi-snoozing on the rug, looked up, came running across the room, and took a dive onto his master’s lap. And that caused the gun to go off, killing his master instantly. This, of course, for those of us who follow police work, is technically known as a doggie “dive-by” shooting. Now, of course, the death of this man at the hands . . . er . . . er . . . paws of his

dog will cause the NRA to change their slogan. Now it must read, “Guns don’t shoot people – people and poodles shoot people.”

I have a lot of questions about this killing. Was it premeditated?

Did the dog plan it? Was the dog mistreated? And is this a case of justifiable homicide? Has the dog been acting strange lately (chasing his tail, cozying up to cats, etc.)? This could mean we have an insanity plea. Every day we have killer drug dealers walking free on technicalities. What about this poor pooch – after all, it was his first offense.

Does the dog have a lawyer? Is the dog going to claim that he didn’t do it? How about this: Another dog wearing a ski mask did it and Benji is going to spend the rest of his life as a bloodhound tracking down the real killer.

Is this like the O.J. Simpson trial?

You know: Benji’s lawyer establishes that Benji was wearing a collar when the shooting occurred, but then when the case takes place on national television some dumb prosecutor insists on fitting the collar on Benji. In the end I can just hear Benji’s lawyer screaming, “If the collar don’t fit – you’ve got to acquit.”

I know there are people like my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, who will blame Benji’s plight on his looking at too much television. The fact is there are no more wholesome dog shows anymore. I’ll bet if Benji had seen “Lassie,” who, back in the early days of television, week after week helped rescue that kid Timmy who was a clumsy little schmuck who was constantly falling into abandoned wells, he would have turned out to be a gentler, kinder dog.

Violence, nothing but violence.

With movies like Pet Cemetery and Cujo as his guide, no wonder Benji went astray. ************************************* Although it happened in the year 2000 the story of Benji killing his master has had quite an effect on me over the years.

Even today, many years later, I treat my new dog Shlomo with great respect. When he jumps at a visitor I now say, “Nice dog . . . nice dog . . . sir, you don’t know how lucky you are that Shlomo just jumped up in a friendly manner and hit you in the crotch with his head and his paws.

“I understand how a rap in the balls from a dog’s paw and snout can be quite painful. But there are dogs that are a lot more dangerous.

Do you remember that killer Benji, for example?

“Here, let me help you up from the floor. Sometimes screaming and groaning like you’re doing now really helps with the pain.”

I also do something that will probably show you just how paranoid I am. Every night when I come home, I frisk Shlomo.

You never know, he could have a concealed weapon hidden in his thick fur coat. You won’t believe how deep the scratches on my arms are. But I don’t let that stop me, I just say the same thing night after night: “You wouldn’t shoot me, would you?” Shlomo just endures the frisking with a little smile on his snout.

I think this treatment is backfiring. The other day at 3 AM I heard a noise in the kitchen and I creeped in and found Shlomo in the cutlery drawer, trying to figure out how to fit his little paw around a large knife.

Perna Chosen Grand Marshal

By Kitty Merrill

“I’ve always said it’s Montauk’s h i g h e s t h o n o r,” J a c k Pe r n a , superintendent of Montauk Public School said Friday after learning he’d been chosen to serve as Grand Marshal of this year’s Friends of Erin St. Patrick’s Day parade. “I’m humbled.”

Perna didn’t know he was in the running for the honor until he received a call from Patrick Maloney last Thursday night. “He works here and when I saw the number I thought, ‘Which part of the roof fell off now?’” (The Montauk School sustained damage during Hurricane Sandy.)

“Jack’s a great guy,” Joe Bloecker of the Friends of Erin said this week. “We at the Friends of Erin put our energy into the youth of the community and Jack Perna has put his energy into the youth of our community for 30 years. How many school administrators start and end their careers in one district? It’s obvious he cares about the children of our community and we appreciate it and that’s why we’re celebrating Jack Perna.”

Perna started working in the

district in 1973. He was appointed superintendent in 1995.

His family roots in the Lighthouse District trace back to the 1950s, when they began summering in the hamlet. They moved here full time soon after. His grandfather opened Pizza Village, and owned what was then called the Lakeside Inn (It’s now the Surf Lodge).

Perna eventually took ownership of Pizza Village, buying it from an aunt and uncle. He ran it for about 20 years before selling it to the

current owner, a former employee, about a decade ago. The family connection to the popular eatery is intact, he said. “I still go there every Friday for a slice of pizza.”

Over the years Perna’s served with a variety of community organizations: He was the director of the chamber of commerce, and involved in Montauk Youth, the Montauk Citizens Advisory Committee, the East Hampton Town Anti-Bias Task Force, and was chosen to “Light the light”

by the Montauk Historical Society at its annual holiday kick off last November. But mostly, said Perna, as he sat at a big wooden desk covered with mementos from colleagues, friends, and students in his office in the school, “I’ve been here.”

A plaque on Perna’s desk reads, “An original is hard to find, but easy to recognize.” Marching this March will comprise a full circle of sorts for the 62 year old, who participated in the original FOE effort. “I marched in the very first Friends of Erin parade 51 years ago. When I was a sixth grader at Little Flower School, our whole school marched. It was a couple of Friends of Erin, the Catholic School, and a fire truck.”

Celebrating over a half century, the annual Friends of Erin parade is one of the largest St. Patrick’s parades in the state. The event is the culmination of a weekend devoted to celebration, with a Grand Marshal luncheon held from noon to 3 PM on Friday, March 15, at Gurney’s Inn and a Friends of Erin cocktail party on Saturday, also at Gurney’s, from 4 to 8 PM. This year the parade steps off on March 17 at 11:30 AM. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Cabbies Say Taxi Law’s Not Fair

By Kitty Merrill

They really didn’t like it. They didn’t like it a lot. Last Thursday night, a contingent of cabbies and taxi company representatives spoke out in opposition at a public hearing to solicit comment on proposed changes to East Hampton Town’s taxi regulations.

Overall, the speakers felt the new law would place an unfair burden on local companies. In particular, Brian Damark spoke of the financial impact of a provision mandating increased insurance coverage. It was noted the annual cost per car would double if the proposal were adopted. The insurance increase was the provision most rebuked by speakers throughout the evening.

But it wasn’t the only one. The proposal also requires enhanced

information about drivers and company owners. Why not require other service providers to provide fingerprints? driver Dermot Hickey asked rhetorically. “Why single this industry out?”

It’s hard to get drivers as it is, Damark noted. “Additional burdens only create more problems.’” He said he could wind up with a shortage of drivers because of the time it would take to register them.

Wayne Lenteni of Lindy’s Taxi noted that when the season slows, he uses some of his East Hampton drivers in Southampton Town, which already has a licensing system in place. Could that translate to East Hampton? Not as the current law is written, was the answer offered by town attorney John Jilnicki.

KENNETH G PAGANO (631) 728 2900

spoke of “a lot of unfair things here” in the legislation. He noted a mileage provision that doesn’t take into account mechanics who rebuild cars. Ted Kopoulos from East/West Taxi said a five-year-old car could hit 350,000 miles. “That’s no problem as long as you maintain it,” he said.

He also questioned a requirement for a local office. Could it be located in someone’s home? Yes, Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc answered, so long as there are no more than three vehicles parked at the residence.

Speaking on behalf of two companies -- Moko and Surf Taxi -- attorney Lawrence Kelly noted an already existing “stratification of jurisdiction” with regard to cabs.

With the state and the county overseeing aspects of taxi legislation, he wondered whether the town would face jurisdictional hurdles. Designed, he said as a “coping mechanism to control the sharp elbows of day tripper taxies,” the law could have unintended consequences.

Kelly questioned whether the town has the power to restrict out of towners from coming in, which was the stated justification for the code revision repeatedly emphasized by Supervisor Bill Wilkinson during the public hearing. He said the law arose from a request from a local driver. “The purpose was to protect the locals from the ingress of foreign cabs,” he said, confronting an at times impassioned audience.

“Our hearts were pure.”

Local officials do have the power to craft parking rules that could manage the flow of cabs, Kelly pointed out. Some drivers complained of the dearth of taxi stands and felt more of them would help. Wilkinson said he’d be happy to look into establishing more such sites. Others suggested limiting parking to “taxis only” in front of

popular establishments.

Carl Irace, a former town attorney now in private practice, represents East End Transportation and Amagansett Taxi. He drafted the current taxi rules and characterized the new law as “a punishment that doesn’t fit the crime.”

The crime, he said, is too many taxis at certain locations at certain times. If the issue seems to be congestion, Irace said, the town has the power to limit the number of licenses it issues.

Like Kelly, Irace seemed doubtful of the town’s ability to give preference to locals. If the board sets a number for licenses to be issued, he said, drivers who are in town in January or February could be first in line.

Wilkinson warned, “If we say we’re going to issue 30 licenses on January first; I can’t protect the queue.” He joked, “Since I’ve been supervisor I’ve been trying to exclude others as much as possible and the lawyers tell me I can’t.”

Councilman Dominic Stanzione wondered how the seasonal surge in need could be accommodated with a limited number of licenses. Irace suggested an increased number of permits issued for just the summer season.

Also on Thursday night, members of the town-appointed Licensing Review Board, which would be charged with oversight of the new regulations, came out in support of the legislation. However, board chairman Roy Dalene said his group would like to see a distinct chapter of the town code dedicated to the regulation. The LRB would also like a secretary, the authority to select new members, and compensation for increased responsibilities.

Town board members agreed to keep the hearing open for written comment. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Get Fit, Get Lean, Get Motivated & Moving

Independent/Kitty Merrill

By Kitty Merrill

Some 50 million people (45.5 million to be precise) own gym memberships, according to statisticbrain.com. But, yikes! About 67 percent of people with gym memberships never use them.

On the East End, given the array of facilities available, it’s easy to avoid being one of the 67 percent.

As The Independent Health & Fitness Guide 2013 continues, this week we focus on our local gyms.

(Be sure to visit our website www. indyeastend.com for more health and fitness features and photos.)

Here’s an overview of some of our favorites. As the saying goes, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

In Amagansett B East is a boutique fitness studio that is open seven days per week on a year round basis offering discounts to local residents as well as $10 classes to high school students.

Spin classes are high energy and super fun, but that’s not all you’ll find at B East. The fitness studio offers TRX classes, Cross Training Classes, Indoor Bootcamp classes, Cardio Sculpt classes as well as personal training sessions. Every class works for every fitness level, according to proprietor Romaine Gordon. “Whether you are trying to get in to shape, maintain your current fitness level or are trying to make changes, the studio has something for you.”

Feel a little uncomfortable in spandex? Planet Fitness, with locations locally in Riverhead and Hampton Bays, is likely the place for you. With its “Judgment Free Zones,” Planet Fitness was designed to cater to people who “may be a little intimidated, may not be in the

best shape, or may be a little older,” Nancy Kouris, manager partner of the local franchises, said.

Treadmills, bikes, and free weights are just some of the equipment available for trimming and toning. And with memberships starting at as low as $10 a month, your wallet’s one thing that won’t be shedding weight.

Also in Riverhead, find Ultimate Fitness East, the largest training facility on the East End. Boasting 20,000 square feet of equipment, group classes, trainers and nutritionists, Ultimate Fitness East offers a chance to check it all out gratis. Visit www.ultimatefitnesseast. com to print out a free pass.

“Come see what the New Year has to offer for your health at Ultimate.

From Zumba, to spin, to circuit training, it’s easy to stay in shape and have fun,” personal trainer Michael Carrozza encouraged.

Carrozza is also an owner of Team 13 Fitness, the North Fork’s premier sports strength and conditioning training facility, located in Calverton. Athletes from a wide variety of sports are trained to increase their explosiveness, full body strength, agility and speed; all while being coached from the expert team of trainers in a semi private training atmosphere. From weekend warriors and recreational athletes, to pro and semi pro athletes, Team 13 can help make this upcoming season your best one yet.

Back on the South Fork, Body Tech’s full service Fitness Centers have been serving the Hamptons for over 25 years, with two convenient locations in the heart

of Amagansett and The Montauk Playhouse in Montauk.

Bo d y Tec h ’ s f a c i li t ies a r e equipped with TRX, kettle bells and a full line of cardio and strength machines from Cybex, Life Fitness, Woodway, Precor, MedX and Hoist including recumbent bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, rowers, stair climbers and spin bikes. They also include free-weight, stretch and core rooms, an official size gymnasium in their Montauk location, which is also the site of a full calendar of classes. Classes feature spinning, boxing, and Power Hour.

Moving west to East Hampton, find something for everyone at the YMCA RECenter. The Y is home to the largest indoor pool complex on the East End. Enjoy a swim in their beautiful lap pool or take an aquatics exercise class in the smaller pool. The YMCA is America’s favorite swim teacher, offering group, private and semiprivate lesson for all levels and

ages.

There’s no waiting for their stateof-the-art fitness center and cardio equipment with Cardio Theater.

Fitness classes including Zumba, Cardio boxing, Sculpture, Pilates Mat, and Cycling are all taught by professional fitness instructors. Day passes and seasonal memberships available.

The folks at Hamptons Gym Corp say they have “The best full service gym on the East End.” With three locations -- East Hampton, Sag Harbor and Southampton -HGC offers annual, part time, and class only memberships, plus a 10 percent resident discount that applies to anyone who lives in the Hamptons. Every facility has special amenities from saunas, steam rooms, GFX and cycling studios, to a boxing area that could combat the best gyms on the island.

HGC also offers personal training for everyone. From half and full hour one-on-ones to small group training or personal boxing sessions, you’ll get instruction from some of the best trainers on the East End. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Barry’s Bootcamp Marches On In The Hamptons

By Emily Toy

Tucked away in the Wainscott shopping center off Montauk Highway is Barry’s Bootcamp, a fitness studio with an edge.

With walls outfitted with dozens of red disco lights, the Los Angeles based bootcamp has been hosting classes packed with lots of intensity since 1998. High-energy music blares throughout the workout studio while lights flash wildly and participants are drenched in sweat.

The hour-long class combines cardio and strength training, with interval running on treadmills (they call it “shredding”), floor work, dumbbells and traditional boot camp style workout routines.

“The no-nonsense, results driven program is a far departure from your average cliché bootcamp,” said Dierdre Beirne, manager at the New York City locations. “There is no drill sergeant with whistle in mouth. No humiliation. Rather a fun, upbeat party-like environment that embraces a back-to-basics style with treadmills and weights.

Barry Jay, director and founder, helped bring what Elle Magazine called “The best workout in the world,” to the east coast. In addition to its locations in West Hollywood, Sherman Oaks and San Diego, Barry’s Bootcamp can be found in Chelsea, Tribeca, Nashville, and now as of last year, the Hamptons.

A London location is scheduled to open this Saturday.

The classes are designed to shock

the body. Every time is different, according to an employee of the fitness center. “You don’t know if you’re going to get 30 minutes on the treadmill at once or if it will be broken up with time on the floor,” the employee said.

The endless variety of exercises and instructor styles insures that no two classes are the same, Beirne added. This in turn has attracted a slew of employees to

the workout Mecca, such as Kim Kardashian, Katie Holmes, Carrie Underwood, Amanda Seyfried, and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Barry’s Bootcamp is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Classes are $32 each, but package deals are available.

Irina Does It With Class . . .

By Kitty Merrill

… Make that, lots of classes.

Gurney’s “Member of the Year” for 2012, Irina Tolmacheva has taken, and continues to take, just about every class the Montauk spa offers, from Pilates to TRX to Yoga to Spin to Aquatic training. And she takes at least one of them every day.

A massage therapist by profession, Tolmacheva moved to East Hampton about three years ago. She visited Gurney’s for dinners and parties, but didn’t learn about the spa until about two years ago.

At Gurney’s annual Spatini event, Zumba instructor Anastasia handed out promotional class tickets – “And that was it,” Tolmacheva said.

Although she stayed in shape walking every day, it wasn’t until she tried classes at Gurney’s that her fitness level and motivation skyrocketed. “I never took an exercise class in a group until two years ago,” she said. “I went from nothing to everything.” Now she calls fellow athletes in the fitness center her family.

“I try to swim and take two classes every day, depending on what I’m in the mood for. They have all kinds of

exercise that suits anybody. If you want hard exercise, you can take the circuit training and you’ll sweat your ass off,” she said with a laugh.

Tolmacheva credits Zumba instructor Anastasia with the initial inspiration. “Looking at her figure, I thought, ‘Oh, my god, I want the same’ . . . and I got the same.’”

Tolmacheva transformed from wearing a size 10 to fitting in to a size two dress. Within two, two and a half months of beginning, she said, “Twenty pounds -- shredded, and I have managed to keep it the same.”

And Tolmacheva likes to eat.

Sitting in Gurney’s Beach Bakery on

Sunday, she confessed, “I come here almost every day. I’m not on any diet.”

Other than a diet of abundant exertion. She lauded Pilates instructor Patty’s class as “the best anywhere,” and spoke of yoga mentor Joy Hear with admiration. “She’s so motivated.

Within two months she had me doing a headstand.” Tolmacheva now practices yoga via SKYPE with her two sons, who live in Minsk.

Admitting some classes aren’t instantly easy, she pointed out, “I have scoliosis and I was nine months doing Pilates to be able to sit straight.

It doesn’t happen in one day, but if you’re really persistent, you can do it.”

She feels having an expert evaluate posture and form during exercise is invaluable. “It’s all personalized.

The instructors are constantly watching, constantly correcting.”

The camaraderie of classmates is a motivator, too, she noted. “We help each other.”

So are the ocean vistas at Gurney’s.

Several classes, like TRX, yoga, boot camp, and spin are held outdoors when the weather permits. “When you hear the ocean,” she said, “It’s very good.”

Once afraid, Tolmacheva became a devotee of aquatic exercise. “Here at Gurney’s I learned to swim. I was always scared of the water before, but they have such a perfect view, a nice pool and perfect instructors.”

Summarizing she enthused, “I just love this place. It’s very, very home like. It has the best atmosphere, the people are so nice, I can’t say a bad word about it.”

Tolmacheva doesn’t just take every class; she often takes pictures of every class, as evidenced on this page. See more by visiting our website, www. indyeastend.com. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Dedicate Pussy’s Pond

By Kitty Merrill

The newly reconstructed Pussy’s Pond Bridge “fulfills a desire of the students of Springs School,” project manager Ray Hartjen said this week. In a statement heralding the completion of the bridge and announcing a dedication ceremony planned for this Sunday, Hartjen invited the public to gather at noon on the School Street side of the footbridge, which spans the headwaters of Accabonac Harbor.

“I wish all projects were like this,” Zach Cohen of the town’s Nature Preserve Committee enthused. “It’s been really wonderful, the way the community came together.” The bridge was funded entirely from donations from the community, Hartjen noted.

Cohen offered some history. The bridge was originally built at the Pussy’s Pond Nature Preserve by volunteers from Waterfowl USA in the 90s. It fell into disrepair and was taken down about five years ago.

In 2009, Cohen said, the Nature Preserve Committee, including members of Waterfowl USA, moved to rebuild the bridge. Because of financial difficulties, however, the town was unable to underwrite the cost of construction.

Concurrently Hartjen was at the forefront of the effort. During the annual Springs Fishermen’s Fair in 2011 Hartjen hosted a walk to the pond and a presentation about the bridge plans.

Hartjen helped design and build the Tanbark Creek Bridge near the headwaters of Three Mile Harbor.

During the 2011 fair he said his commitment to rebuilding the Pussy’s Pond Bridge was in answer to a call “from young voices who

long to capture the lure and charm of a bridge that had so much meaning to so many.”

Kids from Springs School, just across the road from the pond, he said, “pleaded with the town board to rebuild their access to nature, their place to dream, and to experience peace and quiet.”

In 2009, Hartjen worked with fifth graders at Springs School to design a new Pussy’s Pond Bridge.

Kids crafted models, which were displayed in town hall for a time.

The movement languished until the fall of 2010, when Hartjen picked up the standard again.

“As I moved forward I found others who were eager to take action,” he wrote in an essay published in the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society newsletter.

The bridge will end up costing about $18,500, Cohen said. “It was raised from literally hundreds of donations.”

A variety of experts volunteered to provide construction assistance.

Mark Mendelman of Seacoast Enterprises Associates drew up the plans for the bridge.

Cohen noted, “Every piece of wood was harvested from either a town nature preserve or private land.” Each piling is a solid trunk of black locust. Seth Allan of Chesterfield Builders installed all the pilings for free. Tom Matthews of Thomas Matthews Woodworking in Southampton milled the lumber, and Matthew Bobek, whose company is M Bobek Construction of East Hampton, assembled the pieces.

Michael Marder was “a huge help,” Cohen said. He help cut trees identified by the town’s senior environmental analyst Andy Gaites and hauled them

to the mill and back.

The school was involved early on, through its design contest and the Springs Citizens Advisory Committee was “another strongly supporting organization,” as were the East Hampton Trails Preser vation Society and the Accabonac Protection Committee, Cohen said. The Town Trustees have supported the project from day one, he pointed out. All of the material of the bridge is owned by the Trails Preservation Society.

“The involvement of the Trails Preservation Society not only provided needed support, but also allowed us to make this project a tax-deductible venture,” Cohen said.

“Ray Hartjen is their Special Projects Coordinator and he was the real construction manager. He provided the skills and connections that led to using locally harvested black locust for all of the bridge.”

“Our agreement with the Town and the Trustees is that once the bridge passes inspection we will donate it to the Town,” Cohen said.

Ground was broken last fall. “We have just a few more side rails and curbs to install this week and then we are through,” Cohen said Monday.

Sunday’s celebration will be held on the bridge at noon, then move to Ashawagh Hall for food and beverages. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Ruthless Behavior

Dear Rick, Your call for appointing “the best and brightest” to do the work of our town’s planning and zoning boards should galvanize the interest and concern of every East Hamptonite as well as the Town Board.

Most residents of our town, no matter how long they or their families have lived here, share a passionate love for our landscape of bays, ponds and beaches. Most of us yearn as well for the almost bygone look of broad farming fields and traditional architecture. Even as we acknowledge the personal demands of our changed tastes and economic expectations, we want to maintain the town’s traditional streetscapes as much as possible.

As you point out, “a planning and zoning process carefully honed over four decades” has protected this unique landscape to an unparalleled degree. Now, as you say, it

EDITORIAL

Monday’s presidential inauguration, fittingly falling on Martin Luther King Day, was a day to put politics aside and come together as a nation. President Obama’s speech had a similar theme – there is much to be done, and bickering in Washington D.C. like we’ve seen the last few years could have a catastrophic effect, President Obama laid out his second term agenda, and there can be little argument from either side of the aisle about the issues that need to be addressed: the high cost of health insurance, the ever-increasing national deficit, the millions of illegal immigrants, and the preservation of Social Security and Medicare.

We can quibble about how these problems should be addressed: Obama’s call for decreasing health insurance costs, for example, seem at odds with his own Obamacare, which so far at least is driving premiums up, not down. And his insistence on raising the debt ceiling flies in the face of his call to reduce spending: he blames it on the Bush tax cuts, the GOP blame it on Obama’s wild spending spree shortly after he took office for his first term. Neither side has produced an honest plan that aggressively cuts spending, however.

Immigration reform is an issue the president has promised to address, and we support his plan to offer a path toward legalization for those immigrants who have forged

is threatened by “a determined effort of the current town administration to limit the authority” of professional planners and stack the boards with “malleable appointees who favor the administration’s pro-development mentality.”

You are right, and the ruthless behavior is potentially detrimental to all of us. It has no long-term benefits for the community.

Its only purpose is garnering votes and campaign contributions from libertarian ideologues and developers, whether local or outsiders, willing to sacrifice the goose for the golden egg.

We have some thoughtful, well-informed people of all parties on our boards that are dedicated to preserving our environment while honoring the legitimate concerns of individual property owners. We have highly professional, expert personnel in our planning department who use their very best judgment in recommendations that inform the appointed officials. These appointments set a standard for the future, which all partisans should follow.

The Administration can help preserve our future and hone its legacy by adopting that

a life here. There are those who want a tougher stance – to deport millions of foreigners.

That is a myopic view, and an unworkable solution. We do not have the manpower to hunt down folks who entered our borders illegally, and the court system would become hopelessly backlogged even if we did. More to the point, it’s an ugly, divisive, racist solution. This is America, and we are better than that. Our history is as a great melting pot, and getting people on the books and ingrained in our society should be our ultimate goal. It’s time to embrace all our neighbors.

Social Security reform is an easy one, and the failure of Washington to address it has been political and nothing more. Right now salaries over a certain amount are exempt from the tax: raise the ceiling, and stabilize the system.

There is, of course, the concept of the loyal opposition. There will always be differences of opinion in the Capitol -- that goes without saying. We must stop confusing stubbornness with compromise.

The truth is Obama’s legacy and the future of this country are intertwined; if the president fails to right the ship in his second term, and the economy slips, we will all be lunging for the same life raft. It’s imperative that folks once again embrace the American dream of home ownership, health care, and a secure retirement. practice now.

Unneeded And Rejected To The Independent, It would always be sad to waste the funds of the Town of Southampton but in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, prudent expenditure is ever more required. The town needs all available funding for environmental protection and upgrading of storm systems. The more than $500,000 scheduled to be spent by the Town Highway Department on a useless, environmentally disruptive and counterproductive road “reconfiguration” in the Cromer’s Market area of Noyac Road must not proceed.

The project takes precious vacant land to “widen” the road yet blocks the stores and then, for no reason, pours the blocked traffic into Pine Neck -- a small residential area that has no outlets. The plan has been summarily rejected by hundreds of people who have testified both at town board meetings and at the Noyac Civic Association, yet the highway

superintendent has indicated that he intends to proceed.

The question is, how can one person “decide” to undertake a project that is so unneeded and so rejected? Perfectly reasonable alternate ways to make traffic safer in this area have been presented over and over, including by engineers who live in the area.

What is especially disturbing is that this “plan” is being presented in the name of safety. Yet, it creates an unique and unprecedented danger -- pushing hundreds of cars that would otherwise not be there into a residential area with many children and no sidewalks, so that all, adults, and children alike, walk in streets.

The “plan” requires that shoppers trying to leave the Cromer’s area drive a minimum of three blocks through the narrow streets of Pine Neck before they can exit to Noyac Road! These streets, in fact, are so narrow that when two cars pass, one will usually politely stop for the other to assure no inadvertent accident occurs. How will these streets take hundreds of cars?

The highway department, it turns out, is not directly supervised by the town board.

Therefore, the board members must take the clear action available to them to stop this depredation; they must take back the funding -- which was allocated on the basis of a previous, quite different, plan.

Moreover the current “plan” does not appear to have an environmental impact statement.

The Town of Southampton now has already been made the center of the ugliest roads in the area during the administration of the current highway superintendent. The hundreds of huge signs, which now mar these roads, are not only dismaying but also dangerous. The lineups where there are several of these ugly signs in a row distract people’s eyes from the road. The way these rows of “reverse” signs “shine” at night, from the WRONG side of the road, make it constantly possible to mistake what side of the road you are actually on.

Now, on top of that, the next plan is to send hundreds of cars that don’t even wish to go there through a residential area where children walk to the beach.

The town board must use its available power to stop funding for this.

Dear Editor, I’ve been thinking about the day Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. I was on my way to a sociology class at Nassau Community College when I overheard my professor, Dr. Kirwood, talking to one of my Afro-American classmates. He asked him what he was carrying in his briefcase.

The student opened it, and it was filled with martial arts weapons. The student said he was carrying them to protect himself after hearing about Dr. King’s assassination. The student said they just killed his leader and he was afraid he would be next.

In class Dr. Kirwood talked about his reaction to Dr. King’s assassination. He said not only was he mad Dr. King was dead, but he was mad the assassination had caused one of his students to fear so much for his own life that he armed himself with deadly weapons.

As I’m writing this letter, it occurs to me the reason I carried an M-16 rifle, 45 and 38 side arms, hand grenades and a M-79 grenade launcher when I was walking point in the K-9 corps in Vietnam was because I was afraid.

And yet, here we are -- and we still don’t get it!

They are sitting targets now for the next aspiring evil abomination; aka “the formerly challenged young man,” “the high functioning autistic young man,” or “the bullied young man at school” or “the non-empathetic young man with Asperger Syndrome“ or “just your average run-of-the- mill overmedicated/ under medicated schizophrenic lunatic in dire need of institutionalization.”

We were duped into invading Iraq to find their nonexistent nuclear arsenal. We literally toppled Saddam Hussein and began Nation Building, which had always been a “no-no” by both parties. Thus we built the largest American Embassy anywhere.

When we leave, the religious factions will resume killing each other as they always had prior to our interruption after a decade and approaching 5,000 American lives, we are leaving.

We invaded Afghanistan to take down the organizer and perpetrator of our 9/11 apocalyptic disaster. Our President took down Osama and after 3,000 plus dead Americans and a dozen years of war and now our soldiers are being killed by the very forces they are training to further stabilize the “Enduring Freedom” we initiated, we are finally leaving. Likely this corrupt government will outlast our “lasting freedom.”

I thought everyone knew that the term “Swift Boating” which was used to denigrate Kerry’s heroism is now defined as, “a harsh attack by a political opponent that is dishonest, personal and unfair.” Check it out.

Swift Boating has about as much credibility as his judgment that, “Chuck Hagel and Secretary of State John Kerry call into question Obama’s judgment and wisdom and his ability to lead this country.”

Moskowitz laments the fact that they do not plan to invade Iran and initiate yet another war and also feels that any cuts to our over bloated military budget will weaken our national security stance. How many times over must we be able to blow up the globe? This bravado sounds more like fright than bravery.

I thought Moskowitz’s letters were confined to the Hamptons where I constantly read them and assumed he lived.

However, I see that the same letters appear in the outer borough local newspapers where he identifies his residence as Londonderry, New Hampshire a lovely town in a beautiful state. Pity to see it demeaned with such base, paranoid thinking.

They have earned it with their single minded, uncompromising goal of getting as many firearms as possible of every type, legally or otherwise, into the hands of anyone and everyone in our country.

One letter writer accurately defined NRA as Not Responsible for Anything.

However that profound effort by the NRA does not come without great monetary compensation from their benefactors, the gun manufacturers. Who would have imagined?

Of all the frantic absurdities emanating from them, the most ludicrous is the latest.

It seems that the President has obtained special treatment for his kids and is having them protected by armed security guards while allowing all other children left at the wiles of mass murders and their guns, to destroy at will.

Lies and Distortions Dear Editor, The clueless who watch MSNBC simply don’t know the political facts and don’t care to know about them. What they care about and what MSNBC knows how to satisfy them with, is that they get their preconceived notions, mostly wrong, confirmed.

Yet, everyone wants a puppy. Bella was once a puppy, too. And God only knows what her experience was like during that time. She was less than a year old and at a high-kill shelter with two pups of her own.

Bella and her babies were saved

She is an adult now, 35 pounds,

Bushmaster and Remington are only two arms manufacturers in New York. There are others. Kimber, others in Brooklyn -- right in New York City of all places -- the Henry Rifle Company, in business almost 200 years! The next will come as a surprise for you.

A nut job can walk into a kindergarten classroom with a baseball bat and kitchen knives and murder 20 in two minutes - no problem.

Facts MSNBC didn’t tell its viewers about New York crime statistics, 2011 the latest: Death by handgun (mostly illegal) 394 Death by rifle: 5 (mostly hunting accidents) Death by kitchen knives: 160 Death by fists: 28 The logical conclusion New York State’s legislators took: they outlawed rifles that killed no children in 10 years (that’s how far our records go back.)

MSNBC exists for one purpose only: To rally its comatose audience around the president, promote his agenda, and to diminish the other party.

That is not it’s primary purpose.

It is its only purpose.

started every war since the Civil War; that Democrats established the National Parks System and the Environmental Protection Agency; that the KKK were mostly Republicans; that there’s a 100 percent consensus that global warming is man made - that nature and the sun has nothing to do with it; that Republicans want to destroy nature and the climate and are Spawns of the Devil; that President Bush got rich from Halliburton: and that Mitt Romney is richer than any Democrat, including Al Gore.

Keep watching MSNBC and get dumber.

I mean, really, really, get yourself a dim wit.

C’mon, you can do it!

Remember. After you’ve reached an IQ level of 40, like I have after a whole week watching MSNBC, you will no longer experience any decrease in your intelligence or good judgment. You won’t even feel pain if you just glanced at a photo of Obama. It’s not possible to get your IQ to go lower because of a built-in safety valve God, er, I meant, Obama, created in your genes.

Hey, it’s something to do with your empty mind as you fawn over The Empty Suit, is it not?

A presentation of USCG Auxiliary’s participation in the upcoming Sag Harbor Frost: At Bay Street Theatre Saturday Mr. Mark Chanski will be speaking in person and showing slides and video demonstrating the effects of cold water immersion, prevention and recovery. Please check out “Cold Water Boot Camp” on youtube. Here is a blurb of what Mark will be discussing: “Your swimming ability in warm water has no relationship to your ability to swim in cold water.

When the water is cold (say below 60 degrees) significant physiological responses happen to the body. The responses can include cardiac arrest, incapacitation, and circulatory collapse, all of which end in drowning. The effects of cold water immersion are predictable and well documented and Mark will share lots of valuable info that could save your or someone else’s life.

Mark Chanski has been boating on Connecticut’s waterways since childhood. His boating experience is not limited to any one particular style of boat, in fact, he has been known to tell people “the only kind of boat I don’t like is a sinking one” Mark is very familiar with the commercial boating industry as well as the recreational side. As such he holds certificates and credentials from the American Canoe Association, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, US Coast Guard, and US Sailing.

Sustainability Big Priority In Southampton

By Emily Toy

Members of Southampton Town’s Sustainability Committee met with the town board last Thursday morning to discuss updates necessary for the committee’s comprehensive plan.

“We’re trying to integrate energy and efficiency with this green committee,” said Kyle Collins, town planning and development administrator.

Collins and members of the Sustainable Southampton Advisory Committee have been working toward prioritizing goals for a more tenable Southampton.

Restoring water resources, maintaining wildlife corridors, and promoting the construction of green buildings were all methods discussed with the town board to improve the town’s sustainability.

Appropriate waste management,

East Hampton High School O n J a n u a r y 15 a r t i s t a n d printmaker Dan Welden offered formal demonstrations of different printmaking processes to several art classes. Students were also invited, during lunch or study hall, to stop by and view informal demonstrations, as well as to talk with the artist. After Mr. Welden’s visit, students produced prints for exhibition at the high school Guild Hall exhibit that opens in early March, for the Advanced Placement Studio Art Exam in May, and for exhibit at the Advanced Placement Studio Art Exhibit at Ashawagh Hall during the week after Memorial Day. On Friday the all-school Winter White dance will be held in the cafeteria from 7 to 10 PM. Admission is $15, $10 if the student wears white, and the money goes to the junior and senior class.

A concert to create a scholarship for East Hampton High School musicians in memory of alumni Gregg Rickards will be performed in the auditorium on Feb. 1, starting at 7 PM. Many local big-name bands are performing, and guitar-maker Tom Bono has donated a guitar to raffle off. Admission is by donation, the concert is open to the public, and all students are invited to pay whatever they can and come.

Rehearsals continue for the production of South Pacific, which will open on March 1.

The eighth annual Mad Heart Ball will be held in the gym on Feb. 1 from 7 to 9 PM. Eighth-graders are taking dance lessons currently so their moves will be up to snuff.

Because of the event’s popularity, parents are asked to bring their Middle School child or children only.

John M. Marshall Elementary Lisa McKee’s fourth grade has been learning about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. They have read books and written reports about his accomplishments.

The fourth grade also went to see the Springs School opera, Cat Tales last week. After watching the amazing production they wrote letters to the performers describing their favorite moments.

land use and promotion of maintaining healthy businesses were also among the ideas discussed to keep Southampton a vibrant community.

“People want to enhance and strengthen Southampton for the future,” said committee member Ann Reisman.

One committee member mentioned how this planning and constant dialogue with the town board have assisted in making the plans within the committee long term. “It allows for all of us to over time contribute,” he said.

Plans for the growing committee have been underway for three years, Reisman said.

“We’ve tried to cast a wide net to identify and prioritize plans,” Reisman said. “Southampton Town aspires to be a healthy and green community in a sustainable world.”

According to some committee members, the community has done a lot already to reach the goal of a more sustainable Southampton.

The abundant amount of education and literacy on sustainability within the town as well as transparency in the development of proposals have been key in moving the

January 23, 2013

committee’s vision forward, according to members.

“There has been an extraordinary amount of work put into this,” said Councilwoman Bridget Fleming.

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst applauded the advisory committee’s “extraordinary commitment to the cause. We should it make it our business to revisit this [committee’s work] every year. We should be a prototype of what will be seen in other towns.”

Councilwoman Christine Preston-Scalera also praised the advisory committee. “It’s a pleasure to be sitting here with you,” she said. “It’s a definite highlight of my first year here.”

Also discussed on Thursday were town hall security recommendations with Deputy Town Attorney and Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone.

Whether or not town hall needs a security guard was discussed amongst town board members while Zappone offered more options.

“We could begin the process with no additional staffing,” he said. The deputy supervisor said limiting the number of entrances to the building or having a guest scanner installed were both ideas that were relatively inexpensive and would still keep town hall safe.

“It does change the climate of the building,” he said.

Hodges Hit 1000 As Mariners Win Again

By Rick Murphy

The Southampton Lady Mariners, Long Island’s defending Class B champions, seem determined to surpass the exploits of last year’s team. Coach Juni Wingfield’s charges improved to 7-0 in League VII play Friday, besting Center Moriches 50-34 on the loser’s home court.

The team’s mercurial guard, Paris Hodges, achieved a personal milestone, going over 1000 points for her career in the third quarter.

In that stanza the Mariners, sitting on a 15-point halftime lead, opened up a 21-point bulge and coasted to

an easy win, moving their overall record to 9-3 on the season -- and those losses were to some powerful teams as Wingfield peppered his non-league schedule with matchups designed to prepare the team for the playoffs and a run at a state title.

Hodges, a senior who will play for Brandeis next season, is the second team member to break the 1000-point barrier. Kesi Goree, who had eight points and six rebounds against the Red Devils, turned the trick in January. Claire Brady and Takia Plummer each scored 11 for the winners, who play Babylon on Friday (7 PM) and Wyandanch on Tuesday (6:30 PM). Both games are

East Hampton Swimmers Making Waves

Independent/

Kitty Merrill

By Rick Murphy

There is only one high school swimming team on the entire East End, East Hampton. And the Bonackers are doing quite nicely, thank you, despite an arduous practice schedule and long hours traveling to “away” meets.

The team began informally in 2006 and had its roots in the Hurricanes swimming program at the YMCA RECenter, coached by Tom Cohill. It became an official high school sanctioned team in 2008. Jeff Thompson took over as head coach for the 2010-11 season.

Craig Brierley is at the helm this year, and he’s guided the team to a 3-1 mark in League Two. The locals have won their last three meets, including a 93.5 to 74.5 victory against Harborfields at the YMCA Thursday.

“I was assistant coach for two years,” Brierley related. He also served under Cohill in the Hurricanes program. “I became interested in competitive swimming when my oldest son Thomas, 16, started competing on the EHY Hurricanes 10 years ago. Now all three of my children compete for the Hurricanes including Christian, 14, and Julia, 10.”

Tom was one of the winners on Thursday winning the 100yard backstroke in 55.73 seconds.

The team also won the 200-yard freestyle relay and the 200-yard

Islanders In The Playoff Hunt

By Rick Murphy

Don’t look now but tiny Shelter Island is on the precipice of a Long Island championship and a berth in the state playoffs.

On Friday the Indians traveled to Southold and pulled off a stunning 70-63 victory to improve to 4-3 in League VIII play. A winning record will get Shelter Island in the county playoffs. More important, as one of only a handful of Class D schools on the island, the locals will qualify for the state tournament as well and should no other Class D team qualify, the Indians will become Long Island champions.

Credit Matt Belt-Capollino, who drilled home 29 points, and Hunter Starzee who scored 16 and swept the board, recording 17 rebounds. David O’Day and Liam Walker proved a potent one-two punch for Southold, combining for 27 points in a losing cause. The Settlers dropped to 2-6 in league action. Shelter Island plays at Smithtown Christian, another Class D school, on Friday. Southold gets Ross School at home Friday evening.

Never count Bridgehampton, the nine-time state Class D champions, out. After a slow start that included an unfortunate forfeit against Shelter Island, the Bees have regrouped. Friday Jason Hopson (15 points) and Tyleke Furman (15) led their team to a 48-38 victory at Greenport. The win gave the locals a 3-4 League VIII record and kept their playoff hopes alive.

Greenport, a Class C school this year, dropped to 5-2 on the season.

Bridgehampton plays at Stony Brook Friday and at Smithtown Christian

on Tuesday.

Greenport gets Pierson at home on Friday.

Pierson is making a run at the League VII title, sitting only one game behind undefeated Stony Brook. Friday the locals opened up a 31-11 halftime lead and coasted to a 64-53 win on the loser’s court.

Forrest Loesch scored 17 points, Jackson Marienfeld added 12 and Patrick Sloane tallied 10 for the winners, Marienfeld also grabbed eight boards and had five steals.

Pierson is 7-1 in league action.

The Southampton Mariners are the class of League VII. Friday Shaundell Fishburne scored 26 to lead the locals past Center Moriches 77-69. Fishburne saved most of his heroics for the fourth quarter, when he exploded for 18 points. He also recorded five assists in the game.

John Krause added 17 points and Trav Smith had 13 points including three treys and added four assists.

Babylon comes to town tomorrow for a 4:30 affair; the Mariners travel to Wyandanch Tuesday.

East Hampton dropped a heartbreaker at home to Mount Sinai Thursday, 53-49, to drop to 3-4 in League VI play. Danny McKee led the locals with 16 points, Rolando Garces tallied 15 and Thomas Nelson contributed 12.

Bonac get Shoreham-Wading River at home at 6:15 Friday.

Riverhead dropped into a tie for second Thursday when the Wave lost at Newfield, 64-63. Markim Austin (17), Ryan Blitzer (13), and Quinn Funn (11) all hit double digits in defeat. The Wave travels to East Islip tomorrow for a 4:30 tip off.

medley relay. Shane McCann took home gold in the 50-yard freestyle, getting the distance in a blistering 23.72 seconds.

There are 32 students on the team including three from Bridgehampton (Christian and Claudio Figueroa and Rob Rewinski) and one from Pierson, Joe Gengarelly. In addition, there are three eighth graders, Christian Brierley, T.J. Calabrese, and Dylan Comacho.

It’s a commitment to be sure.

“We train in the pool six days a week with dry land -- strength and conditioning -- for five days,” the

coach said.

Robert Anderson, Thomas Paradiso, Brierley, McCann, Alex Astilean, Cort Heneveld, Anthony M c G o r i s k , Ty l e r M e n o l d , J o e Gengarelly and Trevor Mott are among the swimmers who recently recorded their personal bests.

“Quite a few of the boys continue to put up best times even through some heavy training, which is very impressive,” Brierley noted.

Anderson, the Swimmer of the Meet against Harborfields, “did it with a heavy heart, knowing his 90 year-old grandfather was very ill,” Brierley said. The youngster, “did not want to miss the meet.”

The team swims tomorrow at West Islip and travels to Deer Park Tuesday.

NFL’s Rooney Rule Under Unfair Criticism While the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens prepare for the Super Bowl, the remaining thirty NFL teams are looking to the 2013 season. After the end of the regular season, eight head coaches and seven general managers were replaced. None of the 15 openings were filled by a minority. This has once again brought up the effectiveness of the Rooney Rule.

The Rooney Rule, named for Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and chairman of the

league’s diversity committee, was implemented in 2003. It requires teams to inter view minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation opportunities. While I understand the disappointment over the recent lack of minority hires, I believe the Rooney Rule still remains an effective tool for the NFL. From an outsider’s perspective there are valid arguments to be made for all fifteen new hires. I hope that none of these reasons include the color of their skin. It remains my hope that every hire made was the

Those who say the Rooney Rule is no longer effective were most likely singing a different tune when the 2009 season opened up with a record nine minority head coaches. So how can the Rooney Rule suddenly be a bust?

An example of the outrage appears to center around Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell. Caldwell nearly went undefeated as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts three years ago, and is now leading his offense to the Super Bowl. There are more questions than answers regarding why Caldwell wasn’t interviewed for any openings. And I don’t pretend to have those answers. But pointing to his skin color is just an easy out.

When thinking of guys who deserved a second chance as an NFL head coach, my mind quickly turns to former Giants head man Jim Fassel. Similar to Caldwell, Fassel led the Giants to the Super Bowl

and lost. Where is he now? He is the head coach, general manager, and president of the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League.

I have no idea why one of the 32 NFL teams never gave Fassel a head coaching chance after he was fired by the Giants. But I certainly won’t point to the color of his skin; just like I won’t go there with Caldwell.

In fact, it would have been more embarrassing had Caldwell been interviewed just to fill a Rooney Rule quota for some team. There are just too many factors, some objective and some not, to see it (no pun intended) in such black and white terms.

Call me naive, but I truly believe nearly every decision made by NFL teams is first and foremost a business decision. Teams make more money by winning games, so the question when selecting a head coach should be: “Who gives us the best chance to win?”

Prior to the implementation of the Rooney Rule in 2003, the NFL had seen only six minority head coaches in its history. Since the rule was implemented, there’s been 13 minority hires. Four of the past six Super Bowls have featured at least one black head coach. Seems to me the rule has had a big impact on diversity in the head coaching ranks. While it’s unfortunate that no minority coaches were chosen this season, let’s not be so quick to question the rule’s effectiveness after one off year.
