This choice is about SAVING LIVES, OUR LIVELIHOOD AND OUR HOME “Ít is inevitable that sometime in the future a major hurricane will flood downtown Montauk, destroying infrastructure and washing away our beaches” says the CCOM Some have said that Montauk is not worthy of federal dollars - either move downtown or let it fall into the sea!

East Hampton Democrats Have Already Won a Town Board Majority There are five seats on the Town Board. Three votes are needed to pass a law.

With Democrat Larry Cantwell running unopposed, and with two sitting Democrats already on the Town Board, the Democrats are guaranteed a majority in January regardless of the outcome on election day.

If Job Potter and Kathee Burke-Gonzalez are elected, the Democrats will have more than a majority – they will have complete and absolute control over all decisions regarding the Town.

No checks, no balances.

Complete Democratic Control Remember the last time the Democrats had complete control of the Town? Supervisor McGintee and his team brought East Hampton to near bankruptcy, spending money that the town could not afford. Improperly using the Community Preservation Funds for inappropriate town expenses.

State Intervention The state had to intervene to rescue the Town’s finances and it took years to get the land preservation program back on track.

On Election Day, don’t let history repeat itself.

Demos, Zeldin Take Aim At Bishop

By Rick Murphy

Buzzards are circling the corpse.

Proverbially speaking, of course, but it is safe to assume Democratic Congressman Tim Bishop faces a tough reelection campaign next year, even after five terms in the House of Representatives.

That’s what a Congressional Ethics Probe and an FBI investigation will do to an incumbent – make him vulnerable.

A l r e a d y, t w o R e p u b l i c a n candidates have announced their intention to make a run for Bishop’s seat.

State Senator Lee Zeldin, of Shirley, 33, announced at the beginning of this month he will enter the fray. “The best way to end the dysfunction [in Washington] is to change the people we send there,” Zeldin said. He ran against Bishop in 2008 and lost, though he garnered 48 percent of the vote.

Zeldin won a seat in the New York State Senate two years later.

The following week George Demos, a lawyer and former U.S. SEC prosecutor, said he will make another run at Bishop as well.

Demos has sought the Republican nomination to run against Bishop twice in the past but failed to get the party’s nod.

Demos, in a message to supporters, said: “We must hold Washington and Albany politicians accountable for their deeds -- and in the case of Liberal Tim Bishop, for their misdeeds.” Demos, 37, was born on Shelter Island and now lives in Holbrook.

Last month it was announced that a three-month investigation by the Office Of Congressional Ethics (OCE) concluded “There is a substantial reason to believe that a violation of House rules, standards of conduct and federal law occurred.” The matter has since been turned over to the House Committee On Ethics.

Bishop is accused of doing a favor for a constituent and asking for a large donation as part of the deal.

Such a quid-pro-quo agreement is against the law.

The Independent also revealed t h a t t h e Fe d e r a l B u r e a u o f Investigation also looked into the matter – specifically if Bishop exerted pressure on various officials

to push through a fireworks permit for the constituent, Eric Semler, while at the same time requesting a $10,000 contribution from him.

An FBI spokeswoman declined to answer when asked if the investigation was active.

Demos got an early boost last Thursday when former New York State Governor George Pataki issued a ringing endorsement.

“I am proud to endorse George Demos for Congress,” Pataki said in a statement. “George’s impressive work prosecuting corporate corruption as an enforcement attorney with the Securities and Exchange Commission is a demonstration of the strength of character necessar y to be an effective advocate for Long Islanders.”

State Republican Party head Ed Cox lined up for Zeldin, calling the candidate, “an honorable and dedicated public servant with an impressive background as a military officer and former federal prosecutor. As a State Senator, Lee has proven himself to be a man of his word, fighting tirelessly to uphold those values and fulfill

his campaign promises-cutting onerous taxes and fees, creating jobs and protecting our veterans.”

State Conservative Party Chair Michael Long also endorsed Zeldin stating he is, “an independent thinker who’s not afraid to make the tough decisions that are so lacking in DC right now . . . He is exactly the sort of new blood and fresh perspective we need to put an end to the D.C. chaos.”

Randy Altschuler, a businessman who founded Office Tiger, ran against Bishop in 2010 and 2012, losing an extremely close election the first time around. Bishop had an easier time of it, despite the fact that the “Plovergate” scandal came to light during the campaign. The scandal was sonamed because Bishop was able to secure a fireworks permit for Semler despite the fact there was an active Piping Plover nest near Semlear’s Sagaponack oceanfront mansion. The Plover is a federally protected species.

The Bishop camp, which has been in lockdown mode since the investigation intensified, did not return a request for comment.

Democrat Steve Tekulsky (left) and Republican Carl Irace hope to be the next East Hampton Town Justice.

Here They Are, Judge For Yourself

By Kitty Merrill

In a year when races for a number of key positions in East Hampton Town -- supervisor, town clerk, highway superintendent – feature candidates running unopposed, the race for town justice, with qualified and experienced contenders on both sides of the aisle, is one to watch.

What type of experience is best for the job? The answer to that question is one area where Carl Irace and Steve Tekulsky differ.

Both feel the experience they’ll bring to the bench is the right kind. Irace, the Republican pick, has spent most of his career – barring short stint as town zoning board attorney -- trying cases in courtrooms. Thirteen years as a trial attorney meant he’s tried over 50 cases, undertaken thousands of jury presentations, making decisions about evidence and the facts that make a case, plus representing clients in court. “That’s the right type of experience,” he said during The Independent’s interview last Friday afternoon.

“I believe I have the right type of experience and more of it,” Tekulsky, who’s running on the Democrat line, countered. Like Irace, Tekulsky spent time in the city working as a district attorney prosecuting crimes. Tekulsky was an ADA for just four years before he moved on to work with a civil law firm, trying medical malpractice and product liability cases. For

www.indyeastend.com

the past 25 years, the 60-yearold has had a general practice in East Hampton, where, he said, he handled every type of case from criminal mischief to small claims to zoning defense.

While the pair disagreed about which experience is better suited to the role of town justice, both agreed East Hampton’s Justice Court, one of the busiest in the state, needs to become more efficient. When it comes to code

violations and such quality of life cases -- issues that have frustrated residents -- Irace said administrative changes could help “give priority to cases that affect the community acutely.” Tekulsky said he’d keep adjournments to a minimum and would set timelines for cases to ensure efficient adjudication.

“I’m all in favor of court watchers,” Tekulsky continued. He favors finding ways for the public to be more educated about court proceedings. Irace writes a blog about courts, and pointed out that, for most people, the judicial branch is where most people have direct contact with government. “Equal access and openness in our courts is an important thing,” he said.

The two agreed that a second courtroom in the justice building is underused. Using it more often would require judges to change their schedules, particularly when it comes to jury trials. Tekulsky and Irace both expressed willingness to do so, if it will make the court run more efficiently. Could that mean adding a third judge? Neither candidate thought so, at first blush.

They also support finding a way to reinstate the Youth Court, which was a victim of budget cuts.

Although he’s a relative newcomer to East Hampton, Irace’s family has lived in East Quogue since 1948. Tekulsky has lived in town for 25 years. Is having strong ties, even family ties, in the community a positive or a negative?

“Objectivity is essential,’ Irace, 38, said. “There are so many conflicts

October 16, 2013

2 weeks to go!

that can arise as an attorney. There are all those and more as a judge.”

“There’s no question there will be a lot of people I know [coming to court],” Tekulsky said. However, the candidate said he is best known for being fair. As a chief of the East Hampton Fire Department and as a member of the board of assessors, Tekulsky said people he interacted with – whether friend or stranger – learned “everyone’s got to follow the same rules.” Overall, he feels his knowledge of the community and its residents is a plus.

Tekulsky and Irace diverged when it came to the concept of working with non-English speaking defendants. Irace characterized his ability to speak Spanish as “a valuable tool,” while Tekulsky feel it would be “inappropriate” for a judge to offer information in a language other than English from the bench.

Both candidates closed with discussion of the desire to serve.

Newly married, Irace said he plans to raise his family here. “This is what I can do to give back to the community.” He noted that he currently serves the public in his private practice by working for indigent clients.

“My life has been one of public service,” Tekulsky said, in addition to a quarter century as a volunteer with EHFD, he’s provided pro bono legal services to such local organizations as the Pediatric Dental Fund and Citizens For Access Rights.

WELCOME BACK TO 1989

At night you will hear the sounds of car windows being smashed . . . In the morning you’ll feel the crackling of broken glass under your feet . . .

Cars will have crudely written signs saying “No Radio” . . . There will be aggressive panhandlers on every block . . . Every day you’ll hear about another shooting, another death . . . An African-American teenager is shot in a gang fight in Bed-Stuy . . .

The New York Post will show the picture of a sweet little two-year-old who was shot and killed by a stray bullet while she was crossing a street in East New York holding her mother’s hand . . . You’ll walk on a street in midtown Manhattan and keep looking over your shoulder.

Is that an innocent man walking

home from work behind you, or a mugger who would kill you for your wallet? . . . Then if you drive there’s the squeegee man who will suds up your windshield and then he will extort money from you before he will clean your window so you can see the road.

Welcome back to 1989.

I have, on occasion, had a nightmare where someone I love is in danger – maybe about to fall off a cliff or about to be hit by a car and I’m standing there watching it but I’m frozen in my tracks. I can’t do anything to save them.

Naturally I wake up and realize it’s a bad dream.

I’m sure just about everyone reading this has had the same kind

of nightmare of being paralyzed while someone they love is in danger.

I’m having this kind of dream now, but it’s while I’m awake, and instead of being about someone I love, it’s about New York, the city I love that’s in danger. And there is nothing I, or you, can do to save it.

Bill de Blasio is going to be our next mayor.

Forget that he’s a socialist.

Fo r g e t h i s p a s t r e c o r d w i t h pushing socialist causes. Forget the honeymoon in Cuba or that he was part of various groups in the United States sympathetic to the Sovietbacked Sandinista government – in Nicaragua.

That’s his business. What he supports, what he did in the past or does in his private life, is his business.

What he plans to do after he is elected Mayor of New York City is our business – yours and mine.

What frightens me is that he has made it clear that he is going to take this city back to what it was 25 years ago.

The first thing he plans to do is end Stop-and-Frisk. By this act alone he is sentencing hundreds of young African-Americans to death.

Guns in Brownville cause shootouts.

How many young people have to die before de Blasio understands that Stop-and-Frisk made this the safest large city in the United States? He will end it now and all hell will break loose. New York will become Chicago, or worse, Detroit.

You will walk out your door in the year 2014 and you’ll find that outside your door it’s 1989.

In a few short months under de Blasio we all will come to really appreciate Michael Bloomberg.

Billionaires who love the city and work tirelessly to make it better are few and far between.

This is not about politics. Most intelligent Democrats I know are as nervous about de Blasio as I am.

These are people who voted for Obama twice and plan to vote for Hillary in 2016.

They have young kids and they don’t want them to be walking streets that are no longer safe.

So how does de Blasio have a 40-point lead over Joe Lhota?

There is a new voter bloc and it’s growing more and more powerful every day.

Every cheap politician knows that to win their votes all one has to do is promote class warfare.

The group resents anyone who has worked hard and made money.

They resent anyone’s success and blame everyone for their failures.

They will elect anyone who promises them free cell phones, free medicine, free housing, free insurance, unlimited food stamps, etc., etc., etc.

When they elect de Blasio, they will be giving up charter schools, the best way for their children to get a great education, in favor of a union-dominated, mediocre public school system.

They believe it’s a small sacrifice to get all the other free stuff.

This is not only a New York City phenomenon.

The Occupy Wall Street slime is being replaced by a new group that should be called Occupy the United States. Every town from East Hampton, New York to Stockton, California is going to have to face them. They are the new majority.

They will now own the mayor’s office in New York City.

God help us.

Town Violated Rights Of Demonstrators

By Rick Murphy

Southampton Town officials learned the hard way what it costs to be politically correct – about $100,000, and the taxpayers have to foot the bill.

About six years ago Southampton Town Hall was declared a “biasfree” zone, which was ridiculed in some quarters as nonsensical and unenforceable, at the urging of the town’s anti-bias task force. Officials probably never thought they would have to defend the designation in court, but suit was filed by congregants of the Southampton Full Gospel Church against assorted town and village administrators and their polices.

Last week the town, its tail firmly between its legs, was forced to stop using the designation and pay tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

The village did not have to pony up any money.

On July 26, 2011, the date of the first day of legalized Same Sex Marriage in New York, about a dozen congregants, mostly senior citizens, gathered on the steps of town hall to mount a peaceful protest. But, the suit charged, “Plaintiffs were denied their First Amendment Right to assemble . . .” In fact, police herded the protestors away from town hall and forced them to stand in a designated area off to the side where they could barely be seen.

The impetus for the police action was that town hall had been declared a “Bias-Free’ zone about five years earlier.

The problem was just two weeks earlier the town’s Police Benevolent Association held a somewhat raucous protest on the steps of Town Hall that was allowed to proceed, and assorted political rallies – including one for Congressman Tim Bishop, were also held there. These rallies attracted

considerably more people but were allowed to proceed.

Southampton Town was ordered to pay $40,000 in legal fees to settle the matter, in addition to fees charged by their outside counsel.

The village “made it clear that the town would be paying everything,” said Stephen Dunn, an attorney who represented the plaintiffs, members of the Southampton Fill Gospel Church. “In all it must have cost them about $100,000,” Dunn surmised. The village was originally named in the suit because town hall is within Southampton Village.

It was puzzling the town chose to defend the suit at all – federal court judge Joseph Bianco made it clear the town would have trouble prevailing at the outset of the case, Dunn said. “This is blatantly unconstitutional on its face, and the judge all but told them that,” Dunn said.

Southampton Town Attorney Tiffany Scarlato agreed but said the town was in settlement mode from the onset. “We had to hire an attorney to deal with the suit,” she pointed out. “We have to pay them to deal with it.”

Though Dunn had an agreement in place last spring, an attorney for the defendants suddenly claimed there was a phone call on the day, “threatening violence.”

Dunn said the charge was, “unbelievable and inflammatory. If there was a death threat, where is the police report? Why wasn’t there a police investigation?”

Scarlato said the miscommunication was a result of an article that appeared in the Southampton Press. “We can’t control if there was misinformation in the newspapers,” Scarlato said.

“They chose to make a big deal out of it.” In the end, she said, The Press retracted the statement about the phone call.

The town’s insistence to proceed with the case could have cost taxpayers far more. “Every one of my clients was entitled to monetary damages, but they insisted this is not about the money,” said Dunn.

Scarlato said it could have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend against the suit. “It became obvious we needed to resolve it.”

The money spent, she said, “was in the natural course of business.”

New Lights And Old Leaves

By Emily Toy

Last week, Southampton Town’s Dark Skies Committee was influential in creating new light pollution laws at the county level, sponsored by Suffolk County Legislator Jay Schneiderman.

Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, liaison to the Dark Skies Advisory Committee, contacted Schneiderman on the committee’s behalf, requesting an amendment to previous legislation sponsored by him in 2004, according to a press release issued by Southampton Town. Shortly afterward, Fleming and Dark Skies Advisory Committee Chair Gail Clyma testified before the legislature in support of new countywide light law sponsored by Schneiderman.

“We must pay closer attention to our eco-system and maintain a commitment to the environment,” Fleming said. “Light pollution matters, and that’s what this new law is about.”

Suffolk County lights now comply with Southampton’s Dark Skies code, which call for all outdoor lighting purchased or replaced by the county to use “warm-while” light sources. Under the new legislation,

“The county will commit to utilizing only warmer-colored outdoor lights at its facilities to protect the health and well-being of residents and to protect the county’s ecological systems,” the press release states.

It is also required that the county use light fixtures with a correlated color temperature no higher than 3500 Kelvin for all lamps purchased through December 31, 2015. Correlated color temperature is the perceived color of the light emitted by a lamp (expressed in Kelvin units). The higher the Kelvin rating, the “cooler” (or more blue) the light will be. After December 31, 2015, any new light fixtures purchased will have a correlated color temperature no higher than 3000 Kelvin.

Blue-rich white light is linked with a higher incidence of glare, particularly outdoors from dusk to dawn. This type of light is also more difficult for human eyes to process as people age. Blue-rich white light also creates higher levels of light pollution in the night sky, introducing a portion of the light spectrum, which is not currently contributing substantially to such pollution. Also, disruption of these functions can change the

www.indyeastend.com

instinctual habits of wildlife living near such light sources, according to the press release.

“In recent years it has become increasingly clear that light with a high blue content is the most serious offender,” Clyma said.

The new bill was unanimously approved by the legislature on September 12 and has been signed into law by County Executive Steve Bellone.

In other Southampton news, Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor announced this year’s fall clean up will begin on November 25.

All residents may place leaves bagged in biodegradable paper bags only curbside for pick up.

No plastic bags will be accepted.

Each road will be done once and items should be placed curbside by the first day of the program.

Bags, though a limited supply, are available for free for town residents at the highway office. Bags will also be available for sale at several local businesses, including hardware and grocery stores.

Those who wish to self-haul leaves may do so at any of the transfer stations (excluding Sag Harbor). There’s no charge.

Senior citizens 73 years of age or older or residents with special needs must register with the highway office prior to the program beginning. Curbside pickup will be loose leaves in no more than eight cubic yard piles.

No brush will be collected as part of the fall clean up program.

More About Montauk, Sand & Seawalls

By Kitty Merrill

The government shutdown won’t have an effect on the work.

With funding already allocated for emergency work prompted by Hurricane Sandy’s devastation, staff from the Army Corps of Engineers will continue to work on the report analyzing options for protecting the downtown Montauk beachfront.

Representatives from the federal agency are assessing options for mitigating erosion on the shoreline strip that runs parallel to South Emerson Avenue. Key in the analysis is gauging the economic viability of each alternative.

Although federal planners are looking at options that involve acquiring and “relocating” buildings

along South Emerson or using just sand to replenish the beach, neither of the two seem likely to get the green light.

The feds have two requisites when deciding to move forward with a beach project: there must be a justifiable cost-to-benefit ratio, and there must be local support.

When it comes to the relocation option, community consensus may be hard to come by. Following a September 26 presentation of the options, Paul Monte of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce had this to say via email, “Our position is that it’s a ridiculous concept and one that has no place in Montauk.

There is nowhere to relocate our oceanfront businesses. Even if there

1) Furnace Cleaning and Tune Up 2) Fuel Deliveries Scheduled 3) Temperature Monitoring System Installed

were, the cost to do so would be staggering and unaffordable even for the Feds.

“What we need to do is to rebuild our beaches to a 150-250 foot width (dune to water) and create a solid core protective dune from the east end of town to the west end, covered in sand and beach grass. And that dune must be maintained annually to ensure that its solid core remains covered with sand and beach grass.

“We cannot afford to miss this golden opportunity presented by the federal government to protect us from future storm created catastrophes.”

On the other side of the argument, a segment of the community favors using nothing but sand to rebuild

the beach. The trouble is, the feds won’t support an option that’s not cost effective, and their rep already tagged the sand alone alternative as unlikely to receive federal approval.

The feds will cover the initial cost of installation of whichever project is approved, then 65 percent of future maintenance expenses with the state and county covering the remainder. Early estimates placed the annual cost of renourishment of lost sand at $5 million.

Experts invited by the Concerned Citizens of Montauk to weigh in on the options earlier this month expressed opposition to the notion of using any kind of hard structure on the beaches. Supervisor Bill Wilkinson suggested a sand-covered seawall, which the Army Corps staff is examining.

Key among the CCOM experts’ critique of the seawall concept involved the likelihood of erosion uncovering the structure. According to Corps spokesman Chris Gardner, replenishment of sand atop the seawall is factored in to the cost of the project as a maintenance program. He said it’s “not necessarily true” that the existence of a seawall exacerbates erosion. A seawall can exacerbate erosion if the beach is not maintained, he said.

During the September CCOM outing Dr. Stephen Leatherman wondered why the town didn’t suggest an examination of the feasibility of using geo-tubes instead of a seawall. Made of plastic, geotubes can be pumped full of sand and used as a bulwark in the event of storms. They can be removed or left in place.

It was also suggested that consideration be given to shoring up the shore all the way from downtown to Ditch Plains.

Gardner said town officials could ask the Army Corps to add additional options to the analysis. However, he cautioned that requesting new studies would delay action. Officials hope to commence construction of whichever option is chosen at the end of next year. To the notion of expanding the targeted area, he said, “This is about reducing risk, not about making the beach nicer.”

Could East Hampton’s changing political tide influence the timeline?

Democrat Larry Cantwell running unopposed for town supervisor guarantees his party’s majority on the town board. If the outgoing Republican majority chooses one solution and the incoming Dems disagree, will the project still move forward? Only if an agreement has been signed, Gardner informed.

Eye On Education

By Dr. Dominic Annacone

Failure Nation It’s like a scene from Jaws. Just when one thought all the bad news about education was over, a new report, “A Survey of Adult Skills,” has surfaced, pointing out the fact the U.S. adult population is well behind other countries in literacy, math, and other skills needed in the modern workplace.

First it was our students being out-performed on international tests. Then it was our country’s comparatively inferior college graduation rates. And now, lo and behold, even our adult population is less than mediocre when compared to the rest of the world.

Since I classify as an adult, I took this report to the heart and went into a deep funk. But I became curious so I decided to look into the study report details available online (“Organization for Economic Cooperation Development”). The NY Times column of 10/8 touted this investigation of adult skills by saying the tests were “ . . . administered in 2011 and 2012 to thousands of people, ages 16 to 65,

by 23 countries.”

I kept searching for details of the study since it sounded like quite an ambitious research project. After a trip through the technical verbiage I finally found some of the details of how the comparisons were derived.

These include: 166,000 adults aged 16-65 as the subjects, 24 countries involved with their own research examiners, 30-45 minute interviews of subjects, 50 minutes of test questioning time.

I have to wonder how statistical validity was achieved after reading these figures. By doing simple division, it’s apparent not more than 7000 people from each country between the ages of 16 and 65 make up the research population.

(A pretty small sample for such grandiose findings claims.) Also, with the interviews and testing done by individual countries, how can one believe appropriate control conditions were maintained?

And once again, a 50-minute test led to these rather monumental findings resulting in classifying

www.indyeastend.com

the adult populations of all those countries with some being winners and others losers. The media of course jumps on the wagon and headlines the findings without questioning the legitimacy of the research. It’s the same bogus approach followed when episodic test scores earn our schools being labeled failures in this country.

I’m out of my funk because I find it hard to believe the U.S. is “below average” in terms of adult skill levels. If we’re in such bad shape, why do many of those countries that appear ahead of us rely on our foreign aid and protection?

Why are so many inhabitants

★

October 16, 2013

of other countries clamoring to immigrate to the USA if we have such a failure epidemic? Don’t we remain at the top of the list in terms of our agricultural, industrial, and technological advances? And if our education system is so inferior, why are those countries higher on the list sending their students here for continuing education?

No, we shouldn’t be satisfied with all aspects of our educational program, but irrespective of this and other doom and gloom, questionable studies and the media’s propensity to make headlines out of them, we are definitely not a nation of failures.

Don’t Flush!

The Group for the East End, with support from Suffolk County, has established the East End Medication Disposal Program, which allows and encourages residents to throw out unused medications in a medication drop box, permanently located at participating police departments. For decades people were told to flush unwanted medications down the toilet. Today, water quality research and monitoring data show that prescription and over-the-counter medications, when flushed down the toilet, can contaminate drinking water, harbors and bays. Little is known about the impact on human health and the environment.

The medication drop box is secure and no contact with police is necessary. According to Group president, Bob DeLuca, “There has long been a need for a simple, safe and confidential way to properly dispose of medications on the East End, but now everyone can be assured that their unwanted medications don’t find their way into our bays, harbors and drinking water.”

Medications accepted include expired or unwanted over the counter medications, including pet medications, prescription drugs including antibiotics and controlled substances, pills, powders, liquids and EPI pens. Items not accepted in the drop boxes include syringes, medical waste, and Mercury thermometers.

The Southampton Town Police Department, East Hampton Town Police Department, Southold Town Police Department, Shelter Island Town Police Department, Village of East Hampton Police Department, Village of Sag Harbor Police Department, Village of Westhampton Beach Police Department, and the Riverhead Town Police Department are all participating.

Medication drop box accessibility hours can be found at GroupfortheEastEnd.org/meds.

No sir, not me. When they made me they threw away the mold, I thought to myself. Yes indeedy, I am clearly a leader among men.

Hell, I could have been a Captain in the Marines, except I can’t do pushups. Hey, I was almost in the Armed Forces, except I checked “lesbian� on the application form at the draft board, even though I was a latent heterosexual at the time.

Those were scar y times. I remember when the draft lottery came out like it was yesterday.

I went and got the Daily News that night – the first edition of tomorrow’s paper used to come out around 9 PM the night before – and started at the bottom of the list #365, to see if my birthday was there. I slowly moved up the list. It was said probably the first 200 or so birthdays would be drafted, so I prayed to be somewhere in the back. One by one I scrolled up – I passed 200 and my heart sank. I passed 100 and I was in full panic mode. Finally, there it was -- #37. I was going to Nam. It’s not that I was afraid to fight, mind you – after all, I am a leader among men. I just questioned my effectiveness in combat, considering my sister could literally beat me up.

I ended up going to take my physical at Fort Hamilton – it was just like the scene in Alice’s Restaurant. A bunch of us goons walked around in our underwear all day being subjected to all kinds of tests.

A decade earlier you could get out of the Army simply by stating you were a “homosexual� – in those days “Gay� meant you were happy.

But it got to a point when that was no longer an excuse – one of the

soldiers told the sergeant he was a homosexual when he was being drafted and Sarge replied, “Then you’ll love it in the Army because you’ll be taking showers with 40 guys.�

I failed every test miserably, even the hearing test – the guy kept asking, “Do you hear that? Do you hear that?� I had headphones on and there were beeping sounds. But no matter how loud they got I kept shouting “Huh? Huh?� My head was ringing for a week.

Later I walked by the hearing room and I heard a guy shouting “Huh? Huh?� and I realized we are all failing every test on purpose, and the army didn’t give a shit. The stupider, the better.

As it turned out I never did get drafted -- I felt I could better serve this great country of ours by smoking pot, listening to Led Zeppelin records, and going to Grateful Dead shows. By the way, the Deadheads no doubt considered me a leader among men, but they were too stoned to know it. “I dare you to spend one Sunday – just one – with me, doing something other than watching football. I dare you.�

Ha! I had her. “How about that Sunday last June when we drove up to the North Fork?� “How about we go somewhere next week?� Karen countered. “I can’t. I have an important game,� I informed her. “The team needs me.� Maybe I wasn’t a soldier, but I was most certainly a man in uniform and a leader among men, even if they are make believe.

She kept it up all day Sunday.

Finally, I gave up. I took off my uniform, climbed into my Batman jammies, and went to bed.

EDITORIAL

The Cost Of Political Correctness It’s OK to make a public place a “smoke free” zone. That’s acceptable – if someone lights up, you make him or her put it out.

But it’s not OK to declare a building a “Bias Free” zone, as Southampton Town stubbornly did a few years ago. It is a meaningless gesture, done at the request of the town’s Anti-Bias Task Force, even though town officials privately agreed it was symbolic and unenforceable.

Now, taxpayers are paying tens of thousands of dollars because the town foolishly agreed to pander to a few professional victims from the lunatic fringe.

Last week a federal judge ordered the town to pay $40,000 in legal fees to a small group or protestors who were denied their Constitutional Rights when they tried to hold a peaceful protest at town hall. The protestors – mostly senior citizens – sued.

It was the first day licenses for same sex marriages were being distributed, and the protestors clearly weren’t doing the politically correct thing – so they were hustled

Independent VOICES

Before It’s Too Late Dear Rick, I would like to commend you on your Editorial entitled “Saving Montauk” that appeared in the October 9 edition of the Independent.

Your assertion that “we are graced with a once in a lifetime opportunity to address the problem (coastal erosion) in Montauk” rings true, as does your concept of a reinforced dune (a theory expressed by the Army Corps) to hold back threatening waters from repeated nor’easters and major hurricanes.

First off, business owners in Montauk should not be ridiculed by outside “professionals” for wanting their commercial properties near the dune line overlooking the ocean. The very term “beach resort” (a part of Montauk tradition) implies structures at or near the beach, where visitors can come to stay or dine.

Take away the ocean view and proximity to the sea, and Montauk tourism loses its distinctive appeal.

Second, Category 3 Hurricanes have little regard for enhanced dunes and/ or sand replenishment. During the Great Hurricane of 1938 (our most recent Category 3 event) then-Town Supervisor Perry Duryea had to be towed across Napeague to Montauk by Ferris Talmage’s tractor, because the storm surge had seriously broken through the dune line.

Remember, this happened over 70 years ago, when dune structures on the East End were considerably stronger than those of today.

Every commercial operator along Main Street in Montauk should be taking an active interest in the coastal erosion issue, and should be calling for prompt and effective remediation procedures.

Absent a hardened structure along south side beaches, downtown Montauk can, and will be flooded by the next major hurricane.

Time is not on our side and we must act before it is too late.

Perry Duryea III

away under the guise of the Bias-Free signage.

Let’s tell it like it is – how many people that go in and out of town hall every day have some sort of bias? (Jeez, don’t politicians and lawyers go in there a lot?) We’d wager just about everyone.

This should have never happened. The town should have acknowledged a mistake was made, apologized to the protestors, who were rudely herded by cops, and taken the stupid signs down – they should never have been erected to begin with. Ironically, had the protestors been advocates of gay marriage, they likely would have been welcomed with open arms, and that is the real tragedy here. Political correctness in the Hamptons isn’t just a catchphrase anymore – it’s become a mandate.

We all have the same Constitutional rights, and the right to protest peacefully is one of them.

Quality Qualifications Dear Rick, Fred Overton’s opponents question his qualifications for Town Board -- tout their “experience” while demeaning his!

In reality, their “experience” pales by comparison to the hundreds of fiscal and policy decisions Fred has made in and out of government. For openers, Fred Overton, as Town Clerk, for almost 14 years, has been in charge of an office that today generates over $1.2 million yearly, about 20 percent of the non-tax revenue collected by the Town. No other Town department single-handedly, directly collects that kind of revenue.

What is a Town Clerk? Briefly: Fred must know the permits, fees and licenses required under the regulating provisions of our complicated Town Code.

To this end, Fred initiated systems and policies of procedure, allowing his staff to serve the public in a more efficient, effective manner.

Fred processes all bills for payment directed to the Town, by reviewing them

along with supporting data for correctness, prior to payment. When needed, he creates abstracts and draws warrants. Municipal bill paying comes within the parameters of State law, requiring Fred to be totally familiar with procurement rules and policy.

He must also understand the operation of Town funds and accounts.

As custodian of the Town’s books, records and papers, the Town Clerk is mandated to attend Board meetings and keep complete records of the proceedings and all resolutions adopted – making Fred the curator of the Town’s history of governance.

Clearly, Fred knows the Code, relevant State law and the Town’s history!

After attending more than 800 Board meetings, Fred has heard all sides of every issue. It is not unusual during a meeting, for a sitting Board member to lean over and ask Fred for information on procedure or advice on policy matters. Fred’s opponents cannot match the incredible “institutional knowledge” he possesses.

Fred has used the experience gained from participating in the preparation Continued on Page 22.

What can be done to end the government shutdown?

Continued from page 21.

of 14 Town budgets with 7 different administrations, and preparing 14 budgets for his department, to introduce management policies into the Clerk’s office resulting in dozens of initiatives.

Always committed to building a better, safer community, Fred became a charter member of the Springs Fire Department in 1965; later rising through the ranks to Chief. He’s a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners, Commander of American Legion Post 419 and past President of the Lions Club. During 48 years of public service, Fred spent 25 years as an elected official. No matter what the task, Fred serves with honesty, efficiency and dedication to the Town and to the people.

In each of his elected positions, Trustee, Assessor and Town Clerk, he has always put people before politics.

Fortunately for us, Fred’s public service and volunteer experience, have given him a vast knowledge of government operations, working relationships with State, County and local officials, handson experience writing legislation and developing budgets, involvement in policymaking for organizations and government entities, and understanding of government employee contracts.

Fred’s credo, if elected, is to continue working to serve the residents of East Hampton with fairness, civility and the respect they deserve, regardless of party affiliation. Can there be any question that Fred Overton is the most qualified candidate running for Town Board and deserves your vote on November 5th?

Naomi Epstein We should throw them all out. They should be representing the people. That’s their job. That’s what they get paid for and they’re not doing it.

We should take their pay away and their fabulous health care benefits until they get this solved. That would speed things up.

Brett Trail Basically everyone in Washington needs to start working together and they need to stop acting like babies. They need to learn to cooperate with each other and they need to recognize when they’ve won a battle and when they’ve lost a battle.

Fractious Town Dear Editor, To the jerks running over my election signs: Thanks so much for the feedback. Since I started writing about the East Hampton Trustees and their activities, and became a candidate selected by the Democratic Party, though I am not registered with any party, I’ve had nothing but positive

comments -- until I put up signs asking people to elect me on November 5, and to check my website, http://CaptIra4Trustee. com to find out more about me.

Since you’ve been taking the trouble to knock down and remove my signs, even from in front of property that I own, I’ve come to realize that it’s not just my friends who are paying attention, but also apparently supporter(s) of one or more of my 17 opponents. (* Solution below) How cool is that?

Now, instead of just continuing to think I was a lonely voice in the wilderness of our town’s fractious (sorry if you have to look that up) political scene, albeit one calling for neighborliness, cooperation and respect for each other in terms of the inviolate (another vocabulary word) right freely to access our beaches as we choose, protect the environment that makes us all “local by choice,” and bring the Trustees to the position of respect and authority they deserve by tradition and action, I realize that some of the less evolved of our community are taking notice, however negatively. I am happy to be making you nervous. *9 Democrats +9 Republicans=18 candidates, take away 1, me, leaving 3 fingers or toes for most people, depending Continued on page 23.

CAPT. IRA BAROCAS

Missed Opportunities To the Editor, An argument made by the Throne-Holst administration is that the Supervisor can’t influence the Planning and Zoning Boards or the Highway Department. However the Supervisor appoints board members and does have some budgetary and zoning authority. The following management principles are applicable to any project.

In a follow-up letter regarding The Independent’s interview with incumbent Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor and himself, Dave Betts wrote that Mr. Gregor spent a large sum on a drainage project that doesn’t work. It’s important to note that the project’s flaws aren’t the fault of any vendor but rather the fault of unwise management decisions.

So Mr. Betts is correct when he argues that the Highway Superintendent must function as a manager to properly serve Highway Department staff, property owners, and taxpayers.

This function also falls to the Supervisor because where Mr. Gregor’s responsibility ends, Ms. Throne-Holst’s begins. For example, if Mr. Gregor planned to tear up private property without notice, which he did, Ms. Throne-Holst could have intervened to protect property owners. Yet she did not.

Mr. Betts also discussed the importance of financial management. Mr. Gregor allegedly paid for the project using a combination of cash and sand removed from the site “in lieu of cash.” This practice is fraught for many reasons: how did the project go out to bid; was the vendor fairly paid; should the Town be using assets to pay vendors? Ms. Throne-Holst prides herself on her budget expertise yet bartering for services is a dated concept that is difficult to audit.

Finally, an important consideration in any project is ongoing maintenance. A manager typically factors in the extent to which maintenance falls upon his staff.

In more than one instance extra timeconsuming activities were added to the Highway Department workload along with a questionable activity that should have concerned the Supervisor.

Mr. Gregor has from time to time involved private citizens in the maintenance of his projects. I have no idea how arrangements

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

were made, nor whether any liability exists, but taxpayers should be uncomfortable with private citizens being asked to help the Highway Department.

In summary, Ms. Throne-Holst has an array of opportunities at her disposal to manage projects, opportunities that appear to have been missed.

Pet Precautions Dear Editor, A good scare on Halloween can be fun, but no one wants to be haunted because their beloved animal companion was sickened, injured, or even killed during the festivities. We can ensure that Halloween is a treat, not a trick, for our cats and dogs by taking a few simple precautions.

Many animals can’t resist sampling treats - wrappers and all, that contain toxic ingredients such as chocolate and xylitol. Keep all candies and other treats out of reach of animals, and do the same for candles and jack-o-lanterns, which can cause burns and fires if knocked over.

Dressing up isn’t always fun for animals, because costumes can impair their ability to see, move, and breathe—and some are simply just uncomfortable. Animals can also choke or strangle if they chew small parts from their costumes or become entangled. Leave dress-up to the kids and let animals be their naturally adorable selves.

Costumed visitors at the door can make even the friendliest animals skittish and prone to bolting or biting. Stay with your animals in a quiet room, away from the door, and ensure that they are microchipped and wearing collars with current ID tags, just in case.

For more ways to protect animals, visit www.PETA.org.

White House Thugs To the Editor, Are you outraged yet? Who are they calling extreme? Who are really the extremists? Those shutting down privately funded memorials and businesses; arresting citizens expressing their civil right to demonstrate peacefully; allowing the NSA and IRS to know all of our medical history (hint: “We may share information provided in your application with the appropriate authorities for law enforcement and audit activities.”)?

Yes, this current, overbearing administration is the name calling bully, the thug, forcing citizens to purchase government mandated insurance, they are the enemy of liberty. If we stand up against

www.indyeastend.com

any policy, will they cut off our antibiotics, our medical care?

History validates it could happen under this type of domination. There is a culture of fear permeating from those who would love to silence dissent. It’s not anarchy to peacefully disagree with policies, we honor just laws.

This partial shutdown, just 17 percent, is broadcast as catastrophic, though most of us see no problem with the government cutting some fat; in fact, a LOT of fat, from their budgets. House Republicans present bill after bill, funding essential research, programs and budgets, but will not give in to the tax and spend Democrat controlled Senate.

Just this week they spent more than $47,000 for a mechanical bull! During the shutdown?! Is nothing beneath them, nothing too extravagant? The Obamacare website was to cost $93 million but three years later it cost $634 million and it still doesn’t work.

How can we continue to spend what we don’t have and must borrow? We must demand Congress reign in spending and borrowing. The nearly $17 trillion deficit is double what Obama came to office with, the very thing he decried while running for the office of president.

Each month, we pay $18 billion of interest on the debt, and we don’t even

bring in enough to pay that and all the entitlements. Somehow, he feels stating “I won” to the Republicans entitles him to carte blanche through our pocketbooks.

There is too much power in the hands of government, just what the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Amendments tried to prevent.

Unfortunately, it seems so few even know, let alone obey their pledge of office, based on those founding documents, and we are losing our country to another system we would never accept outright. If they had just proclaimed the planned “fundamental change” – oh yeah, the Obama’s did, and you were asleep. Maybe that is why his approval rating has fallen to 37 percent.

Maybe that shows people are waking up.

Watch the citizens, not the politicians, if you want to see the power of liberty through the rule of law. We will not comply with thuggery from the White House.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never known to fail) Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh show me herein, you are my mother. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee(3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goals. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person, must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. after 3 days, the request will be granted.

This prayer must be pub-

lished after the favor is granted. My prayers were answered. Thank you so very much. As requested

On October 8, the first of Southampton Town Councilwoman Christine Scalera’s Bullying Prevention Month programs had an amazing turnout and featured special guest speaker Helen Atkinson-Barnes from The Retreat, Jamie Issacs, and the Youth Bureau Act TWO Drama Troupe. Scalera praised the presenters’ “phenomenal job.” Each offered different ways of dealing with acts of bullying.

Next up: Detective Rory Forrestal from the Suffolk County Police Department Computer Crimes Unit will be conducting a presentation on cyber-bullying and social media on October 23, at the Hampton Bays Senior Center at 6:30 PM. For more information, visit www.southamptontownny.gov/youthbureau.

Play Bridge A hand very similar to this one was played at a recent duplicate game at Water Mill. It is a good example of playing to make your contract rather than playing for an extra trick which could lead you to not making your contract. It is also an example of making a plan before playing to the first trick.

Declarer can see seven top tricks when West leads a club. The diamond suit is a great candidate for three more tricks and will yield them with a 3-2 break in the defensive hands. Declarer makes his decision to guard against a 4-1 or 5-0 diamond situation. He also wants to protect his club holding and plays the club 2 from dummy.

After East wins the first trick with the queen, he cannot continue clubs since that would give declarer two club tricks.

Instead he shifts to spade 8.

Hey Yahoo – Pay Up! We’re fond of the way Yahoo hosts fantasy leagues – mainly because they give back 90 percent of the money in prizes, one of the best percentages in the industry.

But jeez, are they slow payers! I finished second in my Yahoo Fantasy baseball league – that’s a $300 score – almost three weeks ago. I’m still waiting.

thing wouldn’t come up. After a series of emails, though, they called from Draft Kings. Did I want the money wired into my bank account?

Sure enough, that Monday morning they wired it. Nice.

The point is, if you are going to play for money make sure you are dealing with reputable people. A lot of us remember the infamous Poised To Stomp contest, which was going to make someone a million dollars. It was going to crown the “Fantasy Football World Champion.”

First you had to put up money and win your league, which I did.

Then, in some kind of convoluted playoff, one team would emerge as the overall winner. Those of us who won our leagues were guaranteed entry in the following year’s million-dollar tournament, a nice consolation prize.

But as January turned to March I was still waiting for my check. First I was told they were being processed.

Then I was told there was a delay.

Then, I found out Poised To Stomp was being sold. Finally, the truth –

Poised To Stomp was going belly-up.

I called the New York State Attorney General and filed a formal complaint. Lo and behold, a phone call – the parent company was graciously going to send me a check.

I never did get my free entry for the following year, and I’d wager anyone the so-called “million dollar winner” didn’t get that much.

In fact, he probably didn’t get anything.

B y t h e w a y, s o m e o f t h e charlatans involved in Poised To Stomp resurfaced with other companies – not in jail but in the industry. Be forewarned.

Speaking of being forewarned, the week after next (Week Eight) there are six teams on Bye weeks: Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Indianapolis, San Diego and Tennessee. Do not wait until then to address your rosters – lay out a projected starting lineup, find out where your holes will be, and make your Free Agent moves this week.

Every team in your league will be scurrying for players as Week Eight nears.

Night In Bonac

By Rick Murphy

Talk about the stars aligning perfectly.

It was Homecoming Day for the East Hampton Bonackers, and enthusiastic fans were in a festive mood throughout a full day of activities.

The winless football team was scheduled to take on archrival Southampton under the lights. The famed “Hampton’s Cup” awaited the trophy case of the winner for this, the oldest rivalry on the East End, dating back to the 1920s.

Enter Cortland Heneveld, stage left, because this was the night Bonac’s underrated quarterback became a star. He opened the scoring with a four-yard touchdown run, set up by a 19-yard pass to Nick Pizzo on a fourth down play.

After the visitors went three and out Brendan Hughes, who also had a monster game, ripped through the Mariners’ defense for a 61 yard scamper to make it 14-0, and

minutes later, after a Southampton drive stalled once again, Heneveld scored again, this time from six yards out.

Amazingly, Heneveld would score twice more before halftime, the last on a 44-yard run. It was 33-6, a blowout. The final was 47-14, and when it was over Heneveld had turned in one of the top performances of the week – 205 yards rushing to go with his four TDs. Hughes added another Independent / James J.

Fishing Report Clam Chumming And Bass Jigging Shinnecock Bay/Inlet & Ocean It was a fairly quiet week in the shop for the boating crowd. Rough conditions kept most at the dock. A few ventured west of the Ponquogue Bridge and tried clam chumming with some short bass and an occasional keeper in the mix. Guys drifting baits west of the bridge had a pick of bass, too. The few guys who did brave the elements and snuck out the inlet had bass jigging ava and diamond jigs.

S h o r e b o u n d /S u r f/C a n a l / Ponquogue Bridge Ponquogue Beach has been the hot spot for the bass this week and continues as I’m writing this report.

Diamond jigs (ava jigs) with tubes in most colors have been the best lure choice. A27’s and 47s have been the best weights due to the intense sweep and high surf. Bass to 42 inches have come from this area on most any tide day or night.

Both east and west of the inlet have seen a pick of blues and bass on bucktails, darters, swimmers and rubber baits.

The Shinnecock Inlet had a great bite on bass and blues Friday evening with a pick lately in the dark on bucktails tipped with rind.

Nothing to report on albies this week due to the conditions. The reports on blackfish from the inlet have been quiet again due to the rough surf.

Jets Still A Work In Progress The New York Jets are not quite there yet, nor should we expect them to be. But, with the Jets a surprising 3-3, and the Giants at an embarrassing 0-6, expectations for Gang Green have rapidly increased.

Last week showcased the best and the worst of the 2013 Jets. They flaunted their potential against the Falcons on Monday, but were exposed six days later against the Steelers. Yet, unlike their roommates at MetLife Stadium, the Jets are building something.

Quarterback Geno Smith has so far been high-risk and high-reward.

Smith had two more interceptions against the Steelers, totaling ten on the season. But, Smith has shown glimpses of being very explosive.

He led the Jets on a game winning drive against the Falcons and threw for three touchdowns.

Mark Sanchez never exhibited the high ceiling that Smith appears to possess. That’s why the rookie will continue to be given a longer leash than Sanchez ever had. Also, Geno Smith doesn’t have enough offensive weapons to produce a consistently powerful offense. General Manager

www.indyeastend.com

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

John Idzik appears to have found his franchise quarterback, but offseason priority number one needs to be surrounding Smith with more playmakers.

Meantime, the defense appears to be reenergized with head coach Rex Ryan calling the plays. Everything starts up front with a menacing defensive line that is second in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game. The line is anchored by third year pro Muhammad Wilkerson, who is quietly becoming one of the most dominant at his position.

Rookie Sheldon Richardson has proven to be a great first round pick

by Idzik and Ryan. The Jets are also tied for fifth in the NFL in sacks with 16, but the passing defense has, at times, been vulnerable throughout the season. Any tweaks to the Jets defense would be needed in the back seven.

The leadership has been the biggest difference in this team from the last two seasons. Rex Ryan has completely reinvented his style as a head coach. Less than two months ago, it was nearly a foregone conclusion that Ryan’s

only chance of being on the Jets sidelines in 2014 would be as a Tony Siragusa type sideline reporter. But, Ryan went back to his principles, calling the defensive plays, and allowed Marty Mornhinweg to own the offense.

More impressive for Ryan is how he has rebranded himself off the field.

The bravado has been replaced by a semblance of humility. It’s possible the about-face was caused by a man desperate to keep his job under a new regime. Either way, it’s worked and is very refreshing.

Ryan may still be playing the macho-man card behind closed doors. That’s fine, but he has stopped becoming a caricature

October 16, 2013

of himself to the public with bold statements and bizarre predictions.

Despite the surprising optimism surrounding the Jets, expectations should still be tempered. This is not a legitimate playoff team. Granted, it’s not nearly as far off as many thought it might be. But, it’s best for Jets fans to view this season as a building block of big things to come. Asking, or expecting, those big things to arrive this season is simply too much, too soon.
