He was furious.

Matthews looked like if he could get past the Secret Service and get Obama in a headlock he would twist his scrawny neck.

Matthews had a series of “Why didn’t he?” questions. Why didn’t Obama talk about Romney’s 47 percent gaffe? Why didn’t he talk about blah blah blah? Matthews’ face turned the color of his politics.

He was sputtering. It was delicious.

Shinnecock Bay Restoration Project Moves Forward

By Emily Toy

Marine scientists and directors from Stony Brook University, state, town and village officials, and environmental advocates gathered last Friday morning for a boat tour on Shinnecock Bay to observe prevailing research efforts and to better understand the current state of the waterway.

“Our research is largely fieldoriented and utilizes traditional, molecular, and experimental techniques to contrast the dynamics and ecological niche of harmful algal blooms with those of cooccurring, non-harmful species,” said Christopher Gobler, professor with the university’s School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences.

“Estuaries represent some of the most productive, biodiverse, and important ecosystems on earth . . . [with] 100 percent of Long Island townships being located on coastal water ways, a series of environmental problems have arisen in these systems in recent decades,” he said.

Pa r t i c u l a r l y o v e r t h e l a s t decade, the aquatic environment of Shinnecock Bay has been deteriorating. The rapid decline in fish and shellfish populations, water quality, and habitat conditions has had a dramatic effect not only on the marine life but also the people that live near the body of water.

Several problems plague the Shinnecock Bay such as algal blooms (which occurred every year for the past three years), red tide (which was first observed in Shinnecock Bay in 2008 and again last year), loss of eelgrass beds and a decline in fish and shellfish populations.

In 2010, the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Project began, with the project now already moving into its second phase and third year.

“The pilot studies undertaken

by SoMAS during the summers of 2010 and 2011 have provided valuable information to inform future restoration projects,” Gobler said. “The goal is to eventually reach a ‘tipping point’ where the natural populations of shellfish will begin to recover and eelgrass beds will expand within the bay.”

Friday’s boat tour found Gobler

and members of his team gathering data from measured and evaluated water temperatures, nutrient levels, water clarity, algal densities and more. In seeking to enhance the natural filtration capacity of the ecosystem with shellfish, the team restocked multiple species of shellfish with wild plantings, caged plantings that they monitor regularly.

The bay’s nutrient levels are being measured with seaweed.

The aquatic plants absorb large amounts of nutrients, and by removing nutrients, the plants can have an inhibitory effect on harmful algae, including red and brown tide.

Expanding the eelgrass beds is another important area of interest for the Stony Brook and Southampton teams.

Not only were shoots of eelgrass planted, they also focused on releasing seeds and genotyping eelgrass to ensure that specific strains of eelgrass are properly matched with the prevailing conditions of the bay. Abundant eelgrass beds also promote more sustainable habitats for fish.

Now that fall is here, it’s time for assessment after the passed two year’s efforts.

So far, according to Gobler and his team’s findings, results show that both juvenile and adult stage oysters were more resistant to the effects of high temperature and brown tide than other shellfish.

Also a water sample taken from eastern Shinnecock Bay was clear, while a water sample taken from the western Shinnecock Bay was yellow and murky, resulting from being plagued by a brown tide bloom. The samples were taken from both sides on the same day.

Since the restoration project received $3 million this year in two $1.5 million philanthropic gifts from the Laurie Landeau Foundation and the Simons Foundation, coming up with funding for the project has been less of a strain. Continuing on with the proposed five year plan for the project will no doubt be easier since funding is now firmly in place. emily@indyeastend.com

Attempts To Attack Bullying

take by school districts. Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera,who’s spearheading the effort, has joined the National Bullying Prevention Center in recognizing the month of October as “Bullying Prevention Month” in the Town.

“I have heard from many parents whose children have been the subject of bullying, the harm can be life changing for the child or young adult, and a terrible source of anxiety and stress experienced by the entire family,” she said.

Partnering with the Town’s Youth Bureau, Scalera has organized educational and informational events dealing with bullying and cyberbullying at the Towns three Community Centers throughout the month. The programs will focus on the Dignity for All Students Act, role-play, real life experiences of those who have been the subject of bullying, and providing some tools for families dealing with these issues. The Dignity for All Students Act took effect in New York State in July, and requires schools to collect and report incidents of harassment and discrimination, as well as writing the

According to a survey undertaken through the Southampton Youth Bureau’s 2011 Teen Assessment Project, 21 percent of the teens questioned reported having been bullied or harassed during the prior year.

A resolution naming October 2012 Bullying Prevention Month in the Town of Southampton notes, ”the youth who reported being victims of bullying and harassment were twice as likely to report having symptoms of depression, almost three times as likely to have contemplated suicide or engage in self-injurious behavior, six times as likely to report being hurt by another student at school, three times as likely to be bullied by an adult outside the home, and over twice as likely to run away from home.”

On the heels of last month’s tragic suicide of an East Hampton High School student who was said to have been a victim of bullying, Southampton town officials are working to bring attention and awareness to those harmed by bullying, and enhance action already

Act into the schools code of conduct.

“This is a great step and I commend the schools that already have addressed this and have programs in place to deal with bullying, but more can be done,” said Scalera.

The first event will take place on Wednesday October 17th at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton, followed by Wednesday October 24th at the Hampton Bays Community Center, both will showcase the drama troop Act Two: the youth perspective, presented through drama and discussion – “How to be a Bullying Change Agent.”

The month’s final event on Tuesday October 30th at the David

Crohan Community Center in Flanders will showcase Jamie and Ann Isaacs: a daughters experience as a victim and a mother’s experience trying to help. All three events will begin at 7 PM and conclude at 8:30 PM including a question and answer opportunity for the guests.

The National Bullying Prevention Center’s motto is “The End of Bullying Begins With You.” Today has been named Unity Day by the center, with kids encouraged to wear orange to support those who have experienced bullying.

Lobby For HUD Money

By Kitty Merrill

A variety of representatives from social advocacy agencies appeared before the East Hampton Town Board last Thursday night, petitioning for a piece of the annual Community Development Block Grant pie.

Each year since 1974 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has provided grants to municipalities for a range of

community needs. Town housing director Tom Ruhle explained that, in order to qualify for the grant, agencies must demonstrate that a project benefits low income residents. Last year the town received about $110,000 through the CDBG program. This year, pending congressional approval, East Hampton’s in line for $98,570.

Requests exceeded the figure, meaning the town board will have

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

to decide how to portion out the pie.

Tim Bryden, executive director of Project MOST was first to the podium with a request. Project MOST is the only local after school program that services school aged children in East Hampton. Last year, he said, a $7000 grant helped offset the cost of providing scholarships for low-income families to the program. He didn’t request a

specific dollar amount.

Minerva Perez from The Retreat did. The representative from the East End’s only domestic violence shelter sought $15,000 for the replacement of bedroom floors, the painting of the basement floor, and repairs to the roof at the shelter.

Perez reported that the last two years have seen a 96 percent increase in requests for service, and that the shelter has operated at maximum capacity 95 percent of the time, with 45 percent of the guests under the age of five.

Asked by Supervisor Bill Wilkinson whether The Retreat has had any success soliciting help from private donors, Perez informed, “Those things happen.” Recently an electrical contractor completed work at the shelter for free, but in general, given the stigma attached to domestic violence, “This is not a topic people gravitate toward,” said Perez.

Bruce Carabine spoke of Maureen’s Haven Homeless Outreach and its work on the East End. Operating under the Peconic Community Council, Maureen’s Haven provides temporary shelter in area houses of worship to homeless clients from November to March.

There are currently 15 houses of worship, 17 support agencies, and 1500 volunteers involved. Last year 267 individuals were sheltered over 122 nights on the East End. Overall that works out to between 50 and 60 guests per night; that’s 12 to 15 per night in East Hampton. Last year 10 percent of the guests were newly homeless, with 79 percent of them male and 21 percent of them female.

Maureen’s Haven is asking for $10,000 to help with transportation and screening.

Prudence Carabine was next up to the podium, making a pitch for money to help incorporate the Labrozzi/Lester Farm Board. The board’s goal is the creation of a museum in the building located on the northwest corner of North Main and Cedar Streets in East Hampton.

Purchased by the town several years ago, the structure remains incomplete and isn’t open to the public. Carabine requested $5000 to cover the cost of incorporation plus provide seed money for the museum’s fundraising efforts.

Catholic Charities operates a satellite office in East Hampton to serve Spanish-speaking clients with chemical dependency issues.

Melissa Micari asked for $5000 to be put toward the salaries of counselors.

Windmill Village and Whalebone Village have received funding from the CDBG program for 20 years, Jerry Mooney pointed out. Over the years, Continued on Page 36.

Sacred Land May Get Stricter Protection

By Emily Toy

Members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation met with the Southampton Town Board last Thursday morning to discuss proposed legislation that would offer greater protection of Native American and historic gravesites.

“The idea of protection has been discussed since 2003,” said

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming. “I think we have a good sense of where we want to go.”

A s s i s t a n t To w n A t t o r n e y Elizabeth Vail said the Shinnecock Indian burial grounds have been deemed “critical environmental areas.” Under New York’s State Environmental Quality Review Act, those critical areas would be

triggered for review. New York is one of four states in the country that doesn’t have gravesite protection legislation.

In 2009, Assistant Town Attorney Joe Burke presented a draft law entitled “Native American and Colonial Burial Site Protection,” that didn’t quite get off the ground because a map of said burial sites

IN THE NEWS

still needed to be drafted.

And since then, that has happened. Now the focus has grown, with the Shinnecock currently seeking legislation that articulates how to properly alert private property owners of where the burial sites are. It would go a step beyond simply relying on a detailed map.

“We now need the property owners to be aware and we need them to take it seriously,” Fleming said. “We need to notify code enforcement and have an educational campaign, because there doesn’t seem to be any existing protocol about what to do if property is on or near sacred ground.”

Chief Harry Wallace, of the Unkechaug Nation, said that an educational process and/or outreach is not enough.

“Uncovering a body is one of those things that really halts the process,” he said. “I think giving a due notice requirement of permitting may be more educational. Since New York State has no law about disturbing graves as a crime, that’s why we’re trying to get this legislation passed.”

Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst said she wanted this to be “understood by every landdealing department,” and also said she would offer a memorializing resolution” to stop any confusion.”

“We’ve got a map. We’ve got a list of sacred sites, most of them are coastal,” said Fleming. “But we’re living in a vacuum in terms of what protocol is when sacred ground is discovered.”

Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato added that it would be in the best interest of the town to get a broader sense of protocol.

“You would want it to go on a greater scale to include private properties,” she said.

“An educational process and outreach is important,” said Nation member David Collins. “And even more so, it’s so important on the local level.”

Wallace stressed the need for the town and the Nation to work together in the upcoming months to try to get this resolved.

“It can happen if we work together,” he said. “We have an opportunity to show that these things can be worked out.” emily@indyeastend.com

Local Non-Profits Get A Needed Friend

By Rick Murphy

An organization called All For The East End is forming with the goal of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be earmarked for local not for profit organizations.

Toward that end, a daylong extravaganza – with surprise musical guests, is planned for next August at Martha Clara Vineyards in Riverhead.

Jim Durning, is the digital media director for his brother-in-law, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame,

who has been on an ambitious world tour, leading to speculation Waters would perform. Not so fast, said Claudia Pilato, the VP Director of Marketing for Bridgehampton National Bank, the Presenting Sponsor for AFTEE. She said The Wall tour was an extravaganza that likely couldn’t be staged again next year. “We envision it in the spirit of the All For The Sea concerts, where there might be some performers from our neighborhood and maybe some other surprises.” The All For The Sea concerts, staged at

To Africa And Afghanistan

By Kitty Merrill

Over 150 members of the New York Air National Guard’s 106th Rescue Wing based in Westhampton Beach deployed to Afghanistan and the Horn of Africa last week.

The Airmen, who are trained to recover downed pilots and other personnel as required, have been training for the deployments for the past year. They’re expected to return home in January.

“It was a team effort to get our members out the door,” said Lt. Col Shawn Fitzgerald, the acting commander of the 106th Operations Group. “They are excited, ready and trained for the mission.

All elements of the 106th Rescue Wing worked together to prepare for the deployment, said Col. Thomas Owens, the wing commander.

Maintenance, mission support, and medical groups worked to make certain that the deployment requirements for both Afghanistan and Africa were met and that each Airman’s personal affairs were in order.

The “spin-up” training that the Airmen went through in the past year “has been unprecedented as far as quality of training, integration with other units and realism,” Owens said.

Personnel trained at high quality ranges throughout the country, he reported. At the same time the wing’s maintenance teams ensured that the aircraft the wing deployed -HH60G Pavehawk rescue helicopters and HC-130 search and rescue aircraft -- were in top shape. Members of the wing’s maintenance group also deployed with the para-rescue and search and recovery Airmen.

“I am truly proud of the men and women of the 106th Rescue Wing,” said Col. Jeffrey Arndy, commander of the 106th Maintenance Group.

“We train with the mindset of being a world-class team of adaptable personnel recovery war fighters.

Our deployed members are well prepared for the tasking at hand.”

While their Airmen are deployed the wing will provide support for family members here at home, Owens said.

“We are all extremely proud of our Hometown Heroes in the 106th Air Rescue Wing and the vital role they serve both in Homeland Security and in support of military operations around the Globe,” said Congressman Tim Bishop.

“That’s why I fought for funding to complete necessary upgrades at Gabreski Air Base and co-founded the bipartisan New York Defense Working Group to protect the 106th from potential cuts to the Defense

Last Thursday County Executive Steve Bellone announced that Suffolk County’s STOP-DWI program was awarded a $180,000 competitive grant from the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. It’s the largest grant of its kind in New York State.

The money will be used to increase DWI patrols on high volume days.

Suffolk County’s STOP-DWI is a comprehensive program designed specifically to reduce the incidence of alcohol-related traffic fatalities and injuries in Suffolk County.

Since 2010, there have been 13,000 DWI arrests through increased enforcement.

He continued, “It wasn’t long ago that our base in Westhampton was threatened with closure.

Red Ribbon Contest The National Family Partnership has announced the national contest for its 27th annual Red Ribbon Week, which will be held from October 23 to 31. Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. In 1988 after the murder of a DEA agent, parents, youth and teachers in communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs.

This year, families can get involved by entering a contest to promote awareness in their neighborhoods and win a drug prevention grant for their schools.

Families can enter Red Ribbon Week’s contest to win a $1,000 grant for their school and a new iPad for their home. To participate in the contest families and students will decorate the front of their homes with this year’s message: “The Best Me Is Drug Free.”

Take a photo with the family and their Red Ribbon Week decoration, then upload to www.redribbon.org/contest or www.facebook.com/ RedRibbonWeek by Nov. 2 (must be parents or over 18 to upload photos).

Next, ask family and friends to vote for your entry at www. redribbon.org/vote from November 2 to 16. Ten lucky winners from regions across the U.S. will win. Winners will be announced at events at their winning schools in December.

RICK’S SPACE The Debate I’d Like To See I’ve been asked to moderate a lot of political debates over the years, but I always refuse, because the hosts invariably control what questions are posed to the candidates.

Just once I’d like to here a candidate skewer these lame questions and give something other than the predictable answer, like the `Challenger’ below.

MODERATOR: Do you agree that it is important to keep our drinking water pure?

INCUMBENT: Our drinking water

is our most precious commodity.

That’s why I’ve worked hard to limit build-out and the use of chemicals and pesticides.

CHALLENGER: This is one of the many issues we differ on. You see, I’m a big believer in dirty water.

Chemicals keep my lawn green and pesticides make my trees bloom, and there is nothing more beautiful in all of nature. I’m for dirty water, in fact, I’m a proponent of poopy water.

MODERATOR: What will you do

to make sure our beaches remain pristine?

INCUMBENT: I’m glad you asked that question, because there is nothing more important than protecting our natural resources, and that’s why I’ve beefed up our law enforcement efforts on the beach and redoubled our litter details.

CHLLENGER: Two words, my friends: “Beach Glass.” There is nothing more special than finding a beautiful piece of it on our beaches.

Today jagged edged broken beer bottles are tomorrow’s treasures.

MODERATOR: But . . . but . .what if people cut their feet?

CHALLENGER: Simple – they go to the emergency room, tell them they have no insurance, and get free painkillers. Works for me!

MODERATOR: In these trying times taxes are understandably a hot button. If elected what will you do to

That has meant some painful layoffs and difficult choices but it had to be done.

I’m warning everyone right now – you’ll have to dig deep if I’m elected. I have expensive tastes, and I’ll be spending a lot of time wining and dining developers.

INCUMBENT: The community knows me. They see me at church, they see me doing charity work.

My family and I have lived in this community for 30 years. People know I am a just, kind man.

MODERATOR: On the other hand, there have been some serious charges lodged against the challenger. Sir, is it true what the cocktail waitress alleged?

CHALLENGER: Yes. M O D E R AT O R : T h e d o u b l e amputee?

CHALLENGER: Of course.

MODERATOR: The Boy Scout?

CHALLENGER: Yep. MODERATOR: The Nun? CHALLENGER: What! That’s outrageous! Yet another example of my opponent distorting my record!

I will not allow my reputation to be tarnished this way!

MODERATOR: Gentlemen, if each of you could summarize in a few words why the voters should choose you . . .

INCUMBENT: I’m running on my record. I’ve worked hard to serve this community, and the results are evident. Taxes are low. We provide excellent services . . . crime is almost non-existent. Please give me the opportunity to continue down this road.

CHALLENGER: Blah, blah, blah.

Nobody ever keeps campaign promises. Here’s what I say: elect me, and we will have Happy Hours in every bar in town, every Friday night, and we’ll pay for it with food stamps!

We’ll have All You Can Eat buffets every Sunday, and we’ll pay for it with the federal affordable housing grant!

EDITORIAL

Last winter’s record high temperatures obscured the ever-rising prices of fuel.

At the pumps, gasoline prices are hitting record highs. As one letter writer noted this week, filling up our car tanks can be $70 or $80 and even more. For those of us who drive for a living, the money adds up.

We’ve forgotten what the blistering cold can cost. It’s not unusual to spend $800 or $900 every three of four weeks to heat our houses when the temperatures are frigid.

Out nation’s dependence on Middle East oil is worse than ever, despite the smattering of hybrid cars on the roadways.

Putting politics aside for the moment, President Obama’s decision to squash the Keystone Pipeline was a tragic error. It would have, with time, helped lower energy costs by increasing the flow of domestic oil to the 48 states. Moreover, it would have provided tens of thousands of jobs.

We understand this administration’s ecological concerns – and note that the pipeline project didn’t have a thorough environmental review. That said, it’s been 25 years since the Alaskan Pipeline opened, and technology has gotten to a point where very little can go wrong.

The Obama administration has been fast tracking alternative energy projects, most noticeably wind energy, but the country has virtually nothing to show for it.

Independent VOICES

Up, Up And Away Dear Editor, Our gas prices have jumped up and down with every wind of scandal and intrigue in the Middle East, while our off shore platforms floated off to other countries, leaving us with less domestic oil from government land. Our only hope was oil from privately owned lands, and that has kept the fuel flowing, if more expensive.

I don’t know about you but it hurts to put $60-70 of gas in my car each visit to the station. I know the stations get pennies per gallon in profit, and reports are that the big oil companies get about ten cents per gallon, but somehow our state and local taxes are sixty five cents per gallon? Certainly there must be the

cost of transportation and processing, understood. But from the condition of our roads it would be hard to prove the original purpose of the tax, to pay for our roads, is being spent properly and not sent off to a general fund.

Food prices have gone up, milk, bread, eggs, all up. Not our paychecks. Our property taxes are getting ready to go up again too, thanks government officials.

Aren’t you supposed to be helping reduce our taxes?

Mr. Bishop, what are you doing to help the East End? We need tax relief. The governor put a 2% cap on taxes and everyone tried to find a way around it.

When a tiny school of under 125 students needs $4+ million a year to educate our kids, we have a huge problem. Other schools manage on one tenth that amount and have higher scores to show for it.

Mr. Bishop, what are we going to do about the charges you are one of twelve most corrupt congressmen? I’m thinking we’ll throw you out in November and elect Randy Altschuler, a man who knows

Obama pushed through a $535 million federal grant to Solyndra, which also received a $25 million tax break from the state of California. Within two years Solyndra went bankrupt, and the money disappeared. There were other clean energy companies that received federal funds – but they were little more than start-up companies, with no mechanism in place to actually produce energy. In all, this administration has provided over $16 billion in loans to clean energy companies, and the country has nothing to show for it.

Apologists like the New York Times quickly defended the president when the Justice Department began to investigate where all the money went. The company line was the country needs to take chances on clean energy and not all investments pan out. In another time, perhaps. But with this country still in the throes of an economic meltdown there can be no justification for spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a wing and a prayer. (The fact that Solyndra executives were huge contributors to Obama’s campaign -- and that they were frequent visitors to the White House -- has been conveniently overlooked by the mainstream press.)

Perhaps the future will bring more clean energy, and America will be less dependent on foreign oil. That does little to quench the fear that for many of us, the specter of freezing pipes and empty gas tanks looms ominously ahead. how to develop businesses and hire the manpower to run our country. Maybe he can even find a way to bring our taxes down to a reasonable, affordable level so our children can stay on the East End. LYNDA EDWARDS

Incredibly Generous Dear Editor, A huge thanks to the East Hampton Independent, Kitty Merrill, and all our friends and neighbors throughout East Hampton for supporting the Springs Junior High athletes this school year.

This summer, after a very short but nerve-wracking three weeks, the Springs Athletics Booster Club was able to raise enough funds to restore consolidated sports programming to Springs School and put our players back on the fields with their middle school peers from East Hampton and Montauk.

We are grateful to Rick Murphy and the support given by this publication and its reporters in helping to get the word out and generate support for our students.

This is an incredibly generous community and we cannot thank you enough for supporting our school’s athletes. This community delivers when the call goes out and our students will never forget your support.

Rachel Garbolino It was embarrassing. I wasn’t pleased with either of them. Obama seemed to be thinking through what he was saying, but came across as so slow and vague. Romney came across as very fast and vague. But the topics are so huge with only two minutes to respond.

Ben Sosne It was a good debate. I am a Democrat and I think Obama could have come through better.

Romney did a really good job, which was a surprise since he was seen coming into the debate as an underdog. I just don’t think Obama expressed his plans very well.

Tom Dellaero Obama could have done better. I was impressed with Romney. I have mixed feelings.

I voted for Obama and like him very much but I’m on the fence. He has a good heart. He cares about the welfare of our nation. But I’m not satisfied with the last four years’ results.

Larry Wolfson Romney was very aggressive but unclear where he stood. But Obama was muddled. I was surprised. He was so out of form. He’s usually such a good speaker. Maybe Romney said unexpected things. I’m tired of hearing him change his position on where he stands.

Clear Choice To The Editor, Pastor Havrilla’s letter in The Independent last week said it plain and simple, for those who have faith in the Bible; hearing Congressman Bishop’s statement about homosexuality puts a line in the sand.

Jesus Christ is a loving and patient God but he wants his people to uphold

Aces Absolutely

righteousness. Laws that change the meaning of biblical matters such as marriage are examples of the Government getting into the business of the church.

This local election is giving people of faith that believe marriage is between a man and a woman a choice, a very clear choice.

In a peaceful way people can change the direction of their government by voting for change.

God always makes it easy and clear: Congressman Bishop, who wants homosexual marriage, or Randy Altschuler, who says marriage is between a man and a woman. If a man, Congressman Bishop, is wrong about marriage, how could he ever fix the economy?

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

Traveler Watchman Romaine Wants Payback As The Independent went to press yesterday Suffolk County Legislator Ed Romaine and Brookhaven Town Councilman Dan Panico were slated to hold a press conference in the lobby of the Evans K. Griffing Building to announce legislation directing the county and town to file claims with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to refund MTA tax payments.

Earlier this summer a Supreme Court appellate decision deemed the much-despised MTA payroll tax unconstitutional. Designed to bail out the floundering Metropolitan Transportation Authority and adopted in 2009, the measure levied a tax of 34 cents for every dollar of payroll for companies with more than 10 employees. Non profits and municipalities were not exempt, meaning Suffolk County was on the hook to the tune of about $3.5 million annually. Schools, too, took the hit.

In 2011 the State Legislature permanently eliminated the tax

for small businesses with annual payrolls of $1.25 million or less per year. The same year the Legislature also eliminated MTA payroll taxes for those who are self-employed and earn less than $50,000 per year. In addition, it exempted schools, both public and private, from having to pay the tax.

The appellate ruling didn’t order the state to quit collecting the tax, however, much less refund payments. The MTA announced plans to “vigorously” appeal the decision striking down the tax, so state officials are still collecting.

Nearly a dozen vendors gathered at the annual Columbus Day Weekend Sidewalk Sale in Sag Harbor last weekend.

Change is Inevitable.

It’s time to change your Oil Company if...

• You’re tired of waiting for your 24 hour service?

• You sit on hold for hours or talk to a machine when you call your oil company?

• You’re sick of having your equipment “fixed” just to break again?

• You’re tired of your energy bill going up because your equipment needs repair?

A “designer” or hybrid dog is a dog bred from two or more different pedigrees. In this case, notice the wrinkled skin and folded ears, trademarks of a Shar Pei, and the small, compact body, compliments of a Pug. Both have Chinese origins.

This unique combination makes our precious girl, “Star” different in certain respects. But unfortunately, her signature distinctions are overshadowed by another, less coveted label: “homeless”. Star is an “Ori-Pei” (Pug/Sharpei mix), three years young and rather small at 30 pounds, good with people and animals. A special dog in more ways than one.

Hampton Bays is one. The Baymen made their case by traveling to Center Moriches Saturday and crunching the Red Devils 35-13. In truth it wasn’t

that close – the locals opened up a 35 point lead before calling off the dogs.

Once again the Baymen did it with a punishing ground attack, rushing for 223 yards and three touchdowns, all by Taylor Catz, who has 164 yards on 15 carries.

Sean Sullivan and Devin Havens also scored, the latter on a 70-yard interception return.

Hampton Bays, with a 5-0 mark, goes to Babylon next Saturday in a battle of unbeaten. The game is set to begin at 2 PM. Babylon crushed Bayport-Blue Point 45-17 Saturday.

Mercy has quietly put together a 5-0 mark as well. Saturday the Monarchs went up to Port Jeff and came back with a 21-7 victory.

Playing at home, the Hurricanes used the Irish Connection to full advantage – Jack Murphy hooked up with Brian Corrigan for two touchdowns.

Murphy was 8-12 passing, good for 91 yards, and ran for another 63 yards on eight carries. Corrigan grabbed four passes good for 62 yards. Westhampton, 3-2 in Division III, gets Amityville (4-1) at home Friday at 6:30 PM. It’s been a disappointing season for Southampton but Friday, playing before an enthusiastic home crowd, the Mariners gave the Stony Brook Bears all they could handle before succumbing, 53-35. Shaundelle Fishburne had a game to remember for the locals, scoring four times – twice through the air and twice on the ground including a 67-yard scamper.

Baseball Debuts Successful New Playoff System but don’t agree. The Braves were one of the best defensive teams in baseball with the fifth fewest errors in the majors. They committed three costly errors against St. Louis, which resulted in four unearned runs. Atlanta’s poor defense played a much larger role in the loss than a poor call by an umpire.

For the first time in years, baseball saw divisional leaders giving their all after clinching a playoff spot. Earning an extra home game as a reward for winning the division under the old system just wasn’t enough motivation for most teams. This season, trying to avoid the Wild Card game spurred teams to not just “mail it in”.

Without the new rules, the final stretch run between the Yankees and Orioles wouldn’t have been as exciting. Sure, it would’ve been less stressful for Yankee fans under the old system, but this season’s suspense kept the casual fan tuned in. That’s the goal of every league office. They know the hardcore fans will watch. Everyone is competing for the casual fan.

As for a 93-win team (Atlanta) being out after one game, it’s unfortunate. But the new system as a whole has more benefits than not.

There has to be a premium put on winning a division. In the NFL, it’s the difference between a bye week and a home game, and having to play Wild Card weekend. The NBA guarantees a top 4 seed, and likely an inferior opponent if you win the division.

Baseball’s new playoff system isn’t perfect. The length of the baseball season makes it difficult for MLB to create the “immediacy factor” that the NFL generates. But with the new playoff system, the league has done its best to generate that buzz and keep itself relevant in September. And let’s not forget, there’s competition in September

Major League Baseball debuted its new Wild Card playoff scheme last weekend. The Cardinals beat the Braves 6-3 in the National League game and the Orioles beat the Rangers 3-1 in the junior circuit.

TBS carried the games and saw a 61% ratings hike over last year’s opening day playoff games. The new system isn’t perfect, but it brings an element of instant satisfaction that the sport desperately needs.

There was plenty of controversy in the Cardinals win over Atlanta.

The Braves were down three runs in the 8th inning and thought they had the bases loaded after a fly ball dropped in short left field. As it turned out, even though the ball landed 50 feet beyond the infield dirt, left field umpire Sam Holbrook called the batter out under the infield fly rule. The sellout crowd of over 52,000 littered the field with whatever they happened to have in their hands.

Many who dislike the new system pointed to this play as the reason a one game playoff is unfair. The Braves went into the game tied for the third best record in baseball and are now booking tee times after just one loss.

I understand the argument,

the affordable housing complex at Windmill Village has been almost completely rebuilt. Mooney asked for $40,000 to purchase step-in showers for mobility-impaired seniors.

A request for money to make repairs at the Springs Fireplace Apartments, prompted Councilwoman Theresa Quigley to wonder whether there was a different way to get the money – specifically through initiating legal action against the builder. She’d added up the requests and they were in excess of the anticipated federal allocation.

years ago need to be ripped out and replaced, as do shower stalls that have begun to leak, damaging the floor beneath them. Wilkinson observed that if any ordinary homeowner built a new house and there were problems after just four years, he’d be “going after” the contractor. Town Attorney John Jilnicki said he’d review contracts for the improvements to see if legal action could be fruitful.

Replacement of the floor and repairs to the shower stalls would cost $21,000, the new sidewalks are estimated at $10,000, and two additional projects – safety measures at the playground and repairs to the entrance of the county health clinic at the Accabonac Affordable Apartments will cost an additional $20,000plus.

Play Bridge A hand very similar to this one was played recently at the Thursday night game of the East Hampton Duplicate Bridge Club. Four different teams bid the small slam but only one South made her contract. Beth Raymond, one of our most consistent players, made her 6H contract by planning ahead.

She received a favorable opening lead which East won with the ace of diamonds. East then led a club. Beth won with the ace of clubs and noted that she needed to discard her two losing clubs on dummy’s spades.

However, her timing in setting up dummy’s spades for those two discards had to be precise.

Beth led a spade to dummy’s ace

and immediately trumped a small spade in her hand. She then led a trump to dummy’s ace of hearts and trumped another spade in her hand.

She then led the queen of hearts and a small heart to the king, drawing the last trump. Finally, she led the king of spades and the small good fifth spade to discard her two small clubs.

A hand well thought out and executed!

Coast Guard Auxiliary News

By Vincent Pica

Chief of Staff, First District Southern Region, USCG Aux, US Coast Guard Licensed Master

Heavy Weather Skippering As the temperatures continue to drop, we need to focus now on skippering in heavy weather – because it is coming.

Heavy Water Why is heavy weather more dangerous as we move into the fall?

Well, putting hurricanes which are in their own class, aside, heavy weather in the colder months has its own set of challenges.

First, hypothermia is but a small slip away. Second, as the water chills, it gets denser per cubic foot. Denser means more “oomph” behind those chops. Third, it gets darker sooner.

What used to be an all daylight trip out to a favorite fishing spot is now a return under the cover of night.

Believe me, once one thing goes wrong, the chances of something else going wrong before you can focus on and fix the first problem just went up. Now you have a spiraling and accelerating danger curve on your hands. So, what to do if caught in heavy weather?

Life Jackets ASAP Put your life jackets on – right away. The skipper has to direct everyone to don their life jackets.

On my vessel, I have a heavy weather/type-1 life jacket on the back of my helm seat. Across the back, where the crew can read it, it says, “If you see the captain put

this on, try to find one for yourself.”

Take waves at an angle. Those waves that you are trying to muscle through pack tremendous power.

Did you know that one out of every 20 boats that sink at sea does so when the hull comes apart under the force of pounding waves? If that statistic was adjusted for heavy weather sinkings, it would go up dramatically, I’m sure.

Cross the waves at a 45-degree angle and “tack” across the storm like a sailboat moving to windward.

And slow down! Your 20 knots and 5 knots of wave speed multiply the force of the pounding. Slow down and divide the forces.

Don’t be bashful. If things start to get dicey, get on the radio and call the USCG. Tell them where you are, where you are heading and why you are concerned about the situation. Most likely, the watch stander will take that information and ask you to check in with him or her every 15 minutes. Don’t be late in checking in or you may find a red-and-white helicopter hovering over you. But if you are in trouble, the USCG will know where you were just 15 minutes prior. You started the “rescue starts now” clock the last time you communicated your position.

Any Port in a Storm OK, you told your wife you’d be back by 4 PM and it is now 6 PM and you are struggling against the nor’easter that is keeping you from operating at speed to get in.

Don’t bet your life on a perceived deadline. Your wife would rather you survive. Head to the nearest

harbor you can safely make, even if that means turning and putting the storm on your stern. Arriving safely in New Jersey is better than not arriving at all.

Surf. If you find the sea is going where you are, consider getting on the back of one of those growlers and staying there, all the way home.

It takes considerable seamanship and helmsmanship to ride the back of a wave but consider this: if you have an outboard engine with a transom cut-out, your “free board” is only that little distance between the water line and the lowest part of that cut-out, probably six to 10 inches. If you have a following sea and one of those growlers catches up with you, he will swamp you from astern. Stay ahead and he can’t.

Create a ditch bag. If things really get dicey, don’t leave the boat until it sinks out from under you.

But have a “ditch bag” ready – cell phone, handheld radio, fresh water, dry clothes, medical kit, flash light, flares, etc. come immediately to mind.

I spent five days at sea in Hurricane Alberta almost 30 years ago. I have a healthy respect for the sea and how fast things can go from bad to absolutely awful. Don’t be a statistic. Be the skipper who can say, “I always bring my crew back.”

BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go directly to the D1SR Human Resources department, which is in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing . . . ”
