Sand, Or . . . Nothing?
By Kitty Merrill
Sand, sand, nothing but sand. That was the implied preference among experts Saturday -- use sand, not hard structures to bolster the beach -- as the Concerned Citizens of Montauk hosted an informational meeting designed to discuss erosion protection options for downtown Montauk. According to officials from the Army Corps of Engineers, East Hampton Town is in a race to secure its share of a $5.3 billion pie approved for post-Hurricane Sandy emergency repairs in the Northeast. Last month officials presented five conceptual options to the town board. They said a report next month will provide analysis of the options, plus a recommendation for a single solution. To a standing room only crowd at the Montauk Firehouse, CCOM executive director Jeremy Samuelson opined that, given the work serving as an umbrella for the project, the Fire Island to Montauk Point Study, has been underway since the 1960s, asking the town to make a decision in a few short weeks is
“inappropriate.” He shared slides of the five options, offering brief explanations of each. Two experts brought to Montauk by CCOM -- Doctor Stephen Leatherman and Doctor Orrin Pilkey -- were asked to weigh in on

along the shore in front of the strip of hotels in downtown Montauk, and an extensive plan calling for a series of groins built out in the water -- date back to before Hurricane Sandy. Both were previously rejected by community members and elected officials as either not enough protection or too environmentally invasive. A third option involves moving or buying out select properties along
“If I was King of Montauk, I would do none of these things.” ~ Dr. Orrin Pilkey the options, as well as the Army Corps’ success in providing beach protection. Pilkey is described as a “pre-eminent marine and coastal geologist specializing in the study of ocean beaches and coastal policy, particularly in resort communities.” A professor and Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University, Leatherman is best known nationally as Dr. Beach, thanks to his annual list of America’s Best Beaches. Of the five options discussed by Army Corps officials in September, two of them -- a small feeder beach comprised of a comparatively minimal amount of sand placed
South Emerson Avenue in order to construct a dune and replenish the beach. The fourth would mean installing a sand-covered seawall inside a dune, and the last entails using sand alone to construct a bigger beach. Leatherman called the chance to procure full federal funding for installation of protection “a golden opportunity.” But, he felt the project should be expanded, and the plan needs to “go all out” past the downtown section all the way to Ditch Plains where erosion is also a serious problem. He “strongly advised” against building a seawall. It won’t stay

buried, he predicted, and once seawalls are exposed “They don’t ever get pulled out.” Although he made clear he doesn’t support their use, Leatherman said geotubes, plastic structures that are pumped full of sand, are another option for protecting hotels along the shoreline strip. They can be installed in advance of storms, then removed. Leatherman wondered why the Army Corps didn’t consider the construction of an offshore submerged breakwater among its options. Boulders – and there are plenty of them available locally – could also be used to hold the toe of the beach. It was noted, both last Saturday and during the September board meeting, that the Corps conceived its designs using data about beach conditions immediately after Sandy. Leatherman said more recent, and more comprehensive surveys, as well as data relating the ocean bottom contours and sand transportation should be obtained. Pilkey said it was “not at all reasonable” to proceed using just post-Sandy data. During their visit, the Corps reps asked the town to provide additional and current, information. Samuelson introduced Pilkey Continued ON page 36.

POLICE COMMISSIONER AL SHARPTON – MY NIGHTMARE There I was in bed, concentrating on the Military Channel, where the Nazis were once again freezing their butts off just outside of Stalingrad. Next to me my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, was insisting on giving me her take on the latest government shutdown: “It’s time we quit working and got in on the government gravy train.” Though my eyes were glued to
the screen, watching thousands of whipped Nazis being herded by their Russian captors, I managed a distracted, “Why?” “Because you don’t want to be the last person working for a living. The new economy is ‘Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what you can take from your country.’” Shifting into overdrive, she went

on, “Anyway I don’t understand Republicans. How could the Tea Party Republicans think they could take down Obamacare by shutting down the government? Don’t those idiots realize they are about to destroy the economy?” And she continued, “What about those dumb Democrats with Harry ‘I will not help kids with cancer until you come crawling on your hands and knees’ Reid? They are disgusting, too. I think they would rather play politics than negotiate.” Now she was rolling: “Every Republican and the Democrats in Washington – with the exception of Peter King – are a bunch of dumb, moronic, stupid idiots.” “I think you’re overestimating their intelligence,” I whispered. Now it was clear to me that the Nazis were definitely going to turn into popsicles and lose the war, so I started drifting off to sleep. But that didn’t quiet my wife. She continued, “Jerry, I’m terrified. Bill de Blasio and Al Sharpton are going to be running the city. Maybe we should think about living in the Hamptons full time . . . are you listening to me?” “Yes, dear,” I mumbled. “And, furthermore, Bloomberg is leaving. When he leaves the city will be in trouble. Don’t you think he . . . de Blasio . . . de Blasio . . .” The next thing I know, in my nightmare, I’m in a packed Yankee Stadium. A smiling Barack Hussein Obama is standing on the pitcher’s mound, and of course next to him the new Mayor Bill de Blasio is waving to the crowd. Al Sharpton has the microphone and is shouting at the enthusiastic crowd, “Bloomberg is history. I’m in charge. The city is ours again.” And the

audience went wild. “Squeegee guys in section 6, hold up your squeegees and let’s hear the squeegee chant.” “GIVE US A DOLLAR OR TWO OR WE MESS UP YOUR WINDSHIELD AND YOU.” “And let’s have a big hand for our special guests, the wonderful motorcycle gang who fought off that crazy Asian couple and their demonic two-year-old who went on a rampage, threatening 200 innocent bikers who were on a harmless Sunday drive.” Once again the crowd went crazy. Then Sharpton pointed to the new Mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, and thanked him for his appointment as New York City Police Commissioner. Sharpton then went on to tell the enthusiastic crowd that as Police Commissioner he would, with a single act, put an end to police violence by disarming the entire New York City police force. “Now I am asking every criminal in this crowd to voluntarily turn in their guns in a show of good faith.” The crowd roared at the joke. Sharpton then announced that he wanted to say hello to the 5000 inmates from the city’s prison hospitals for the criminally insane who were sitting in section 8. He told them how much faith he had that they would successfully replace the policemen as law enforcement officers. “This will make up, in part, for your being held against your will all these years.” “This is the answer to all those people who are saying you have to be crazy to be a cop in New York these days,” added a smiling Sharpton. He handed the microphone to de Blasio. “The presence of five panhandlers on every street corner in Manhattan again is giving New Yorkers who want to help the poor and the handicapped a chance to show they have a heart,” said de Blasio. “Under the last fascist administration, this city only belonged to those who worked for a living.” “We’re changing all that,” de Blasio scoffed at critics. “The crime rate is being artificially inflated by mugging reports and car-jacking reports from the middle class who flaunt their wealth and expect the underprivileged to sit idly by and be oppressed and poor in the richest city in the world,” he declared. At this point I heard someone screaming and discovered it was me. I woke up in a sweat. Was it a dream? Or do I have a future as a star on The Psychic Hotline?

Gregor And Betts Go Head To Head By Emily Toy
Incumbent Southampton Town Highway Superintendent Alex Gregor went head to head in a debate against his challenger, Republican David Betts, last Friday afternoon at the Indy office. G r e g o r, a m e m b e r o f t h e Independence Party who’s held the position since 2010, prides himself on hiring a staff that reflects the demographic of the area and believes he can continue to transform the department.
“I’m representing the people’s tax money,” Gregor said. “I don’t care about the party.” During the debate however, Betts, a life-long resident of Southampton Town and current Chief Town Investigator, criticized the department’s finances over the years, charging the incumbent’s spending to be irresponsible, particularly with projects that required bonded money. “It’s a question of transparency,” Betts said. “There’s $8.5 million that

hasn’t been utilized. If you bond for a project, you should be able to complete the project.” Betts also questioned whether bond money left over from projects was being used appropriately, reminding that bond monies need to be used for the respective projects they were originally bonded for. Gregor said the money would and has been used for similar projects. According to Gregor, he is trying to be more innovative for his department, which just recently received a 70 percent budget cut. The incumbent superintendent said the town won’t give him any money, adding he has made purchases through the bidding process. “For the most part, I have my hands tied behind my back,” Gregor said. “The department is struggling. We try to do with the best we have. I have a vision. I’m trying to turn
around this department, but I’ve inherited 40 years of neglect.” Closing out the debate, Gregor described how he sometimes joins his workers riding in a snowplow, or driving a truck filled with debris to get dumped, reminding the nature of the job is very hands on. “People want to see you,” Gregor said. “I don’t think in a government mind, I think in a business mind. I’m here to do a job. This is my home. I don’t like seeing people get hurt, so I want this place to be fairer and better.” Betts said consensus building is a huge priority for him during his campaign for superintendent. He charged the role of highway superintendent is an administrative job, stating he has a good grasp on how to run the department, adding, “and I’m a pretty good administrator.” It’s important to find someone who gets along with everyone when filling the position, Betts pointed out. “It’s another considerable issue, to have a consensus building atmosphere,” Betts said. “We need to try to work together a bit more. A major issue is when you need a board resolution [to get anything done]. We have to get together and make a decision.” Although he claimed he gets along with her, Gregor and Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst often lock horns. Emily@indyeastend.com

Stanzione Wants Answers From Mobile Home Park Owners By Rick Murphy
Enough is enough. After years of enduring power shortages, cesspools overflowing, and huge potholes, residents of the East Hampton Mobile Home Park asked East Hampton Town Councilman Dominic Stanzione for help. This week, after meeting with tenants once again, he delivered. The town notified landlord East Hampton Associates LLC that it is violation of the Town Code, stating in a letter from town attorney John Jilnicki that the park “has not filed for an annual permit in many, many years.” Stanzione said the town “wants the owners to come before the town board.” He said the town fire marshal and safety officer are going to inspect the park. “They are now in violation.” The action came none too soon for beleaguered residents, who were dealing with yet another electric service outage last week. The LIPA situation is the last straw. “We’re out now, and about a month and a half ago we were out for more than two days,” said Edie Smith, a resident. “It’s constantly on and off, on and off. My mom is on oxygen – she’s afraid to stay here.” The park is owned by RHP Properties in Farmington Hills, MI, a subsidiary of Newbury Management Inc. The company is the largest owner of mobile home parks in the country. Smith said the landlord is “a slum lord.” Other residents complain they have been subjected to annual rent increases, making it difficult to make ends meet. “My rent goes up and up. I’m on disability. I’m not going to make it anymore,” Smith said. “Once we notify them of the violations we can move to the second phase,” Stanzione said. “There are fines attached – up to $1000 for each violation. We can take them to court.” The noose seems to be tightening on RHP, though ever so slowly. State Assemblyman Fred Thiele and State Senator Ken LaValle attended a meeting hosted by the tenants last year and vowed to monitor the situation. A call to RHP was not returned by press time but Joseph Carbone, the Regional Vice president for RHP, defended his company’s maintenance record in an earlier interview. He acknowledged the antiquated cess-
pool system is an ongoing problem but said his company addresses complaints quickly. He said in May his company was taking bids to shore up the potholes and that work would be done in the fall. This week tenants said they haven’t noticed any improvement.

Behan Endorses Jay
From the politics makes strange – or at least undulating – bedfellows files, last Friday, long time stalwart Republican icon John Behan endorsed Jay Schneiderman, the Democratic and Independence Party candidate for Suffolk County Legislature. According to a release from Schneiderman’s campaign, “Mr. Behan, who has served as NY State Assemblyman and Director of NY’s Division of Veterans Affairs said that Schneiderman had earned his support through hard work and effective leadership on issues that matter to the region. Mr. Behan pointed to the recent opening of the new East End Clinic for Veterans, Legislator Schneiderman’s support of commercial fisherman and his efforts to reduce Lyme disease as examples of Mr. Schneiderman’s leadership.” “I’m proud to have Jay Schneiderman as my County Legislator because he has always fought for what’s important to East End residents and has been a strong advocate for veterans,” said Behan. A multi-term incumbent, Schneiderman will face off against challenger Republican Chris Nuzzi, currently a Southampton Town councilman, in November. K.M.

Two local young men came upon the body at around 3:40 PM on Wednesday. They contacted the police who -- so far -- determined the death was unrelated to a wedding held in the park several days before.

RICK’S SPACE To Pierce Or Not To Pierce An earring? Me? The topic came up, as it frequently does, during a conversation with my wife. She loves diamonds. Me? Not so much, mainly because I usually get stuck paying for them. That’s when she urged, “You can get one, too!” Now, I am by no means a stuffy conservative. I am, if I do say so myself, a very groovy, cool, now kind of guy. I’m positively hip. Still, a part of me believes a man shouldn’t wear earrings unless he is a pirate. I also don’t wear a wristwatch. I
could never see the value of wearing one, especially an expensive one. When I worked on Wall Street Rolex watches were all the rage. Some cost upwards of $20,000. All the high-level executives had them, which made no sense to me. The way I figure it, if you can afford a $20,000 watch you probably don’t need to know what time it is. In other words, the board meeting starts when you get there. I’m kind of like that. I don’t care what time it is, because I never have to be anywhere at any given time. But even if I did, consider that like

most of us I have: five clocks in my bedroom: one on my bedside table, one on my wife’s, one on the cable box, one on the TV, and one on the DVD player. As I make my way downstairs to get coffee, there’s a clock on the stove, a clock on the microwave, a clock on the cable box, and a clock on the coffee maker. As I’m getting dressed in my office there is a clock on my computer, one on the cable box, one on the TV, one on DVD player, one on my cell, and one on my Galaxy tablet. I know what the freaking time is at all times. There is a radio in my bathroom with a clock on it. When I get into the truck to go to work, there is a clock on the dashboard and another on the radio. There is a huge clock on the wall of the deli where I get my coffee. And when I get into the office there are no fewer than six wall clocks hanging about. All 19 computers have clocks on their screens. The TV and radio both have clocks. The phones have the time on them, Yet, almost all my co-workers have watches on. What’s up with that? When someone asks you, “Hey, what time is it?” you know you are talking to one of the stupidest people on earth and you should act accordingly, which means flee his general area before he hurts someone. That’s because it’s impossible NOT to know what time it is. The only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring, and only because my wife makes me. “I don’t want some young babe hitting on you,” she told me the other day. I neglected to point out the last time a young girl hit on me we were both in the fifth grade.

I do have my high school and college graduation rings, but I wear neither, because both of them are those large dome shaped monstrosities that weigh about 14 pounds each they give you in catholic school. I’m afraid if I were in Rome with one of them on the Pope would run over and try and kiss the damn thing. When I was in high school we all used to have a cross on a chain around our neck, and many of us had St. Christopher medals as well. According to legend a giant lived near a deep river in the third century. One day a young child approached him, and asked to be carried to the other side. The giant complied, but as he forded the river the child became heavier and heavier, until the giant could barely carry the weight. He asked the child why he was so heavy, and the kid replied: “I carry the sins of the world.” The kid then baptized the giant and named him Christopher, or “Christ-bearer.” Left unsaid is the kid represented Jesus (or he was just a very fat kid) and that he was 300 years-old. That doesn’t explain why a bunch of us kids would wear St. Christopher medals, because a) there are no rivers in Brooklyn and b) we carried plenty of sins of our own, thank you. Where was I? Ah yes, jewelry, or my lack of it. When we were teens silver ID bracelets were the rage. Think of how dumb that was — a bracelet with your name on it, which I suppose would come in handy if you had Al Heimer’s disease, but Al hadn’t even been born yet. The last time I wore jewelry was the late sixties when I wore, yes, love beads around my neck. I also wore a headband, and occasionally, a kerchief. No wonder they didn’t want me in the Army.

EDITORIAL
Saving Montauk One thing everyone agrees on in the wake of Sandy – Montauk’s business district is doomed. It’s a miracle it hasn’t happened already, but the signs are there – basically the intense erosion that is escalating at an alarming rate. Ironically it’s because of Sandy that we are graced with a once in a lifetime opportunity to address the problem in Montauk, using federal funds made available to address some of the damage caused by the Superstorm. The Army Corps of Engineers has discussed several possible ways to shore up downtown Montauk, and opinions vary widely on what to do next. Yes, the Corps has a spotty record around these parts – but this one seems like a no-brainer. It would be best for all concerned if Main Street was sited farther away from the ocean. But it’s not. Moving a few hotels, or moving anything for that matter, isn’t practical. For one thing, there isn’t enough money. For another, there’s no place to go. At the Concerned Citizens Of Montauk meeting Saturday two experts concluded that the “sand only” option was the best way to go. There are going to be lots of socalled experts weighing in – these two came courtesy of the CCOM -- but the window of opportunity won’t stay open to accommodate them all. Replenishing the beach with sand would be welcome, but would offer only a temporary solution. The sand will eventually wash away – whether it takes one giant Nor’easter or a series of storms, the net result is inevitable – it’s a case of throwing good money after bad because the annual cost of replenishing the sand would be crippling. The plan that makes the most sense from where we sit would be to build a “reinforced dune,” a layer of rocks covered with sand. That would provide an immoveable base and
Independent VOICES
Is It Wise?
To the Editor, It is only fair in an election to compare the public record of East Hampton’s Town Board candidates. We know that Fred Overton and Dominick Stanzione are in office and accountable for events right now. Can it be said that Job Potter was ever really accountable for his time on the McGintee era Town Board? As East Hampton was sliding to a $30 million deficit, Councilman Potter was helping to fabricate the 2005 and 2006 budgets that took the Town off the cliff and down a deficit slope. His votes turned a modest budgetary
surplus at the end of 2004 into an escalating $3.3 million deficit at the end of 2006. The deepening trend continued in 2007 with its $9 million deficit and culminated with the infamous $30 million deficit in 2008. These deficits derived from the budgets concocted by completely Democratic town boards. Interestingly, former Councilman Potter was Bill McGintee’s pick to serve on a town financial advisory panel once the disaster they created became apparent in 2008. One would think that Job Potter might have demurred, after helping to cause the mess, but at that time the scope of governmental failure was not yet fully accepted by those responsible. All of the members of the town boards that were complicit in the destruction of East Hampton’s financial standing stepped away from office without seeking reelection. Is it wise to give one of that group
keep sand replenishment costs down. The window to get this done is now, or the money will be used elsewhere – there isn’t much time to hem and haw. Already battle lines are being drawn, and that’s unfortunate. This isn’t political, and it’s not an environmental issue per se. It’s about throwing Montauk, and the huge tourist business that comes with it, a lifeline before the business district literally and figuratively goes under. Let’s not let a disagreement over what to do next dissolve into a situation where we do nothing. Thanks Tim Ever blind, Congressman Tim Bishop sent out an email blast Thursday urging uninsured Long Islanders to enroll for “affordable, high quality” health care. Apparently to Tim, paying 40 percent of our medical bills out of pocket – as opposed to say, a $15 co-pay, means “high quality.” We’ve been calling the number he gave us (855-355-5777) all week. A recording says “Due to overwhelming volume we are experiencing log-in issues on our website. Call at a later date.” Thanks for nothing, Tim. Next time you might want to try dialing the number first to make sure it works, but of course, you’re too busy doing the bidding of the wealthy money men who own you, to actually spend five minutes on behalf of your constituency.

For every time BAM raises his eloquent rhetorical voice with a few predictable code words, your move is to jump up, lick your O lapel pin, and respond with: “Bullsh*t!” Whilst giving the American people immortal classics equal to George Washington’s or Ben Franklin’s famed quotes, Barack’s Bullsh*t BINGO had squares with: “You can keep your present plan,” “Fiscal Responsibility,” “Inherited,” “Unprecedented,” “The system is broken,” and the best yet: “The worst economy since the Great Depression.” The game
missed the most important point for every liberal and Obama voter to know -- and they do. Where the buck stops. We know where the buck stops and in unison we rise and shout: “BINGO! It’s ALL Bush’s Fault.” We must remember that since the takeover by Democrats of America’s purse strings and both houses of Congress eight years ago in 2006, the 2008 economic crash and everything since is, Bush’s Fault! “It’s Bush’s Fault” is missing from the squares on Barack’s Bullsh*t BINGO and that is unacceptable because we all know it’s all Bush’s Fault. Hurricane Katrina was Bush’s Fault, Bhengazi was, the IRS attacking conservatives only, as well as the SuperStorm that hit the East Coast a year ago. All Bush’s Fault. So is the fact that your home lost 40 percent of its Continued on Page 22.

Blame Game Dear Editor, Our representative Tim Bishop wrote in his October 5 newsletter: “So why is the shutdown continuing with no end in sight? Because many in the Tea Party-controlled House GOP caucus think their backwards agenda to repeal the Affordable Care Act is more important than America’s well-being. They lost the fight over Obamacare in the courts and at the ballot box, so now they are recklessly using the government as a bargaining chip.” No, Congressman Tim. Passing the blame won’t work. The reason there’s a government shutdown is because the union, black, minority, equality and dependency industry in the Democratic caucuses cynically and opportunistically slammed a tyrannical law through in the middle of the night behind closed doors that the majority of the American people didn’t want and didn’t need. They pursued this path after they locked out of the negotiations the political opposition, succeeding in nationalizing and expropriating 18 percent of the American economy thought their backward agenda to impose the unpopular Unaffordable Care Act, which was more important than America’s well being. The Democrats in an absolutist refusal to negotiate a legitimate improvement or delay to implement the law that is clearly defective and not ready for prime time, left for holiday the entire weekend before, setting up the conditions for the government shutdown. The Republicans had nothing to do with the Democrat’s decision not to

negotiate. The reader should consider the consequences of an absolutist relationship with one’s partner wherein one refuses to discuss with the other the most vital issues in the partnership. Now you all know who shut down the government, and it was not the Republicans! According to every poll not out of Think Progress, MoveOn and Common Dreams, the people were quite satisfied with their coverage. They were insured up to the hilt and had no issues. Ten percent of the people - mostly law-breaking illegal aliens, aka “Undocumented Democrats” - were not insured. Incidentally, the American People knew that to insure these people would have been dramatically less costly than to overhaul one of the world’s most advanced and efficient medical systems. But never mind, in the cause of equality - as everything in the liberal mind devolves to issues of equality - the Kenyan Empty Suit ruling us and his socialist mates decided that it would be better to duplicate the medical advances others enjoy in Cuba, Venezuela, Kenya and Yemen at worst, or at best to get what Canada and the UK have; whereas in the first a patient only has to wait seven months for an MRI, a year for knee replacement surgery, and in the latter where the entire nation has bad breath caused by their rotting teeth falling out.

A Non-Debate To the Editor, When is a debate not a debate? When unopposed supervisor candidate, Larry Cantwell is listed amongst the debaters. Yes, I am a registered Republican and the person who was unsuccessful in my attempts to get Larry Cantwell at the top of our ticket. My thoughts about the recent debate at the GGG have nothing to do with politics. After re-running the debate in my mind I kept saying to myself: What is wrong with this picture? The answer is a “debate,” for me, should be between contested Town Board candidates. How can I know and assess the positions of the Democrat candidates if their responses are filtered through the head of their ticket, Larry Cantwell. It is fine if Mr. Cantwell is given the opportunity to make both an opening and closing statement at the debate but anything more, whether meaning to or not, comes off as three against two during the debate. This appears to give an unfair advantage to Job and Kathee when their opponents, Fred and Dom have no one present on the panel to “correct” an inadvertent slip, should it become necessary.

Mr. Cantwell has done a fine job of making his positions on Town issues and leadership well known to the voting public. How about letting us hear, unimpeded, what Fred, Dom, Job and Kathee will do if elected to the Town Board? Indeed, Mr. Cantwell actually has spoken on this topic on several occasions. In his statements he has agreed that one of the results of no opposition candidate will be to exclude him from the debates. He offered this very fact as a reason to decline the Republican endorsement in the hopes that he would have an opponent with whom he could debate the issues. Mr. Cantwell is not unique in his position during this campaign cycle. Interestingly, there are other candidates who are unopposed, and even some who are opposed, and they are not seated on the dais involved in the debates. I would proposed that if the sponsors of the remaining debates do not remove Mr. Cantwell from participation, that Mr. Cantwell, staying true to his prior statements, withdraw himself as an active debate participant.

Sprouting Signs Dear Editor, It’s election time, a time for a new crop on Long Island . . . lawn signs. “It does not get more grass roots than this!” Mary Eisenstein thinks as she pounds her signs into the ground all over town. “This is the true spirit of the democratic process. With each sign I push into the ground I reinforce my reasons for running for Town Board. It is about our land, our roots and our community.” Mary Eisenstein is a first time candidate here in Southold. She has made a commitment to creating a more sustainable Southold and to help preserve the quality of lifestyle we all enjoy here on the North Fork of Long Island. Mary Eisenstein is also an expert in communication and negotiation. She has committed her skill set for a stronger Southold Town. Vote for her on November 5th! SUSAN GENTILE-HACKETT
Biggest Bivalve Dear Rick, What a great turnout this past Saturday for the East Hampton Town Trustees’ annual Largest Clam contest. Thanks to so many for coming out on a cloudy day to look at

some very large “chowders” to us locals and bivalve mollusks to others (like Trustee Stephanie Talmage). For 23 years I have been bringing my homemade Bonac chowder to the event and dishing it out with help from the Trustees to a very eager crowd. They must have liked it because there was very little left by the time the event was over. A question we hear a lot at the event is: What happens to the clams after the contest? I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that while the large clams are good in chowder, the contestant clams get thrown back into their home waters in our harbors and bays. The Trustees would not have it any other way. It goes along with their belief in preserving and protecting our natural resources. After chowder duty, I went and shucked clams and oysters with some Trustees for the crowd. There is nothing better than oysters and clams right out of our local waters. It was not long before we ran out of oysters. After the largest clam judging, where the winner weighed in at around 2.4 pounds (the clam not the clammer!), there was still a line of hungry clam lovers. Each year people are invited to bring their homemade chowders and prizes are awarded. This year’s winner was Bonacker, Tink Schultz, Bill’s wife. It doesn’t surprise me that this wonderful family event just gets more popular each year. It was another great day for our community and good to see support for our Trustees, local fishermen and the environment. FRED OVERTON
A Follow Up Mr. Murphy, I would like to thank you and your editorial staff for affording me the opportunity to discuss my platform, including my vision for the Southampton Town Highway Department. As a follow up, I would like to provide my platform. I believe that the Town Highway Department’s current administration is not providing our residents with the level of service they deserve. Year after year, funds are borrowed for highway improvements and not being spent, which results in taxpayers footing the bill for debt service costs, without receiving the benefit of completed improvements. A private road in Flanders was paved with public funds. That is illegal - and Mr. Gregor’s cavalier attitude when confronted about the subject is inexcusable. His inability to collaborate with the Supervisor and Town Board has been detrimental to the Highway Department’s
www.indyeastend.com
operations, as is his refusal to listen to the needs of the public, storming out of civic meetings and responding to public inquiries in a rude and condescending manner. His mismanagement of drainage projects (Lewis Road) has resulted in a loss of $750,000 of sand gifted to a vendor, that could have been used for sanding roads. And to boot, the project does not work, and Mr. Gregor sends two of his crew there daily to manually pump the catch basin. A s So u t h a m p to n’s H i g hway Superintendent, I will rebuild consensus with the Town Board, ensure that the residents are provided with the improvements they are paying for, and restore the public trust and confidence in the Highway Administration. Thank you again for this opportunity. DAVID BETTS
Thugocracy Dear Rick, Monuments sealed off? With wire? Really? Why did a park ranger let us know that they’d been told to make it as difficult as possible for people to view the World War II Memorial? Because he knew this administration is nothing more than a thugocracy! What else do you call it when they bully 90-year-old vets? They’re defending open-air monuments better than they did Benghazi! When the police show up at the Vietnam Memorial to clear the area out of vets and tourists, it takes more manpower than when it is normally open to the public. That equals more money. The point? The president wants everyone to suffer, not realizing that the informed public is well aware that he and Harry Reid are the true culprits of this shutdown. Even a NY Times writer says Obama is the most closed, control freak he’s ever covered. The Democratic Senate has rejected multiple bills, sent to them by the House Republicans, to fund parks, vets and appropriate monies for necessary federal employees. Eighty three percent of the government continues to be fully funded and working. Furloughed employees will be paid, just as they have 17 times before when the government shut down. The president demands all or nothing, no compromise. The only group that is expected to compromise is the Republican House . . . the only Constitutionally mandated source of funding. The liberals call the people of the United States terrorists, anarchists, extremists, and now even “freedom fiends!” Yes, freedom is the one thing we seek, and freedom cannot be had under the burden of over regulation and over

taxation. The current administration is weighing us down in debt that cannot be paid back, putting us in bondage to foreign countries and the Federal Reserve. This cannot stand. LYNDA A. W. EDWARDS
Brain Power Or Gun Powder Dear Rick, I used to laugh at the “No-Bama” quip appearing on bumper tags, asking, “Miss Bush yet?” I would harken back to decisions made during that period such as the unnecessary, precipitated Iraq war; tax cuts for his wealthy, least needy base, and so on and on, not to mention Dr. Evil Cheney which still leaves a sour taste merely recalling his very being. I would think to myself, “sure, miss him like I miss the plague.” I thought at the time they were about the worst President and administration, (chosen by our 5/4 Supreme Court) inflicted upon our country and the middle class. But that was then and this is now. Sometimes decisions made In haste are decisions too hastily made. Although my views were and still are diametrically opposed to those championed by the Bush administration, in comparison with today’s extreme Right Wing tea infused radicals, they appear to be the very essence of intelligence, a thoughtful consideration. This present clueless Ship of Fools is cruziIng down a river toward a waterfall. Their brain power seems to have been replaced with gun powder. I believe they will get their powder wet. What amazes me is how this splinter in the side of the Republican Party has been allowed to fester and infect today’s already radically Conservative incarnation of what was at one time the Grand Old Party.

Turn On The Heat Dear Mr. Murphy, It’s Fire Prevention Week October 6-12, 2013. This year’s theme is “Prevent Kitchen Fires.” Many families gather in the kitchen to spend time together, but it can be one of the most hazardous rooms in the house if you don’t practice safe cooking behaviors. Cooking equipment, most often a range or stovetop is the leading cause of reported home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Cooking equipment is also the leading cause of unreported fires and associated injuries. So always remember to “watch what you heat.” This is also the season when we set our clocks back and some people traditionally change the batteries in their smoke detectors. We would also like to offer this little known tip. Most detectors installed Continued on page 25.

At the same time the Democratic Committee has written gratuitous personal attacks against the Republican candidate for Supervisor, Linda Kabot, that no homeowner would be allowed to make in any newspaper. As a result, one characteristic of the Throne-Holst administration has been the need for homeowners to go to court to defend their right to speak out or to prevent Town officials from harming their quality of life by circumventing civil procedure. I’ve said before and will say again that I live in area where many elected officials,

regardless of party affiliation, reside. As a result I’m one of the first to be impacted by those who use too much discretion in part because they’re comfortable on their home turf where a woman homeowner is disrespected. Without fail, the issues I raise resurface in other communities and are clearly visible once one knows what to look for. That’s why I can prove that Ms. ThroneHolst and her colleagues don’t support the environment, don’t support women, and cannot manage projects as they allege. SUSAN CERWINSKI

T PE of the Week
There are no words and not nearly enough space to express the suffering that was endured by one innocent animal, Sweet Pea. She was removed from her home by the authorities due to suspected animal cruelty and neglect. Her case is under investigation and charges are pending. Sweet Pea was placed with “A Home Fur Now,” a local non-profit organization to provide the necessary medical care and attention. She was emaciated, anemic, had a broken femur and her hip was out of her socket. In addition, x-rays revealed BB pellets embedded in her body. She is being fostered by a volunteer and her weight is up to 34 pounds, but should be 60. Please consider a donation to help Sweet Pea on her long road to recovery. Call 631-219-8529 for more information.

Island oysters after an evening of stargazing.
Tuckahoe School During this first week of October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our school is showing its support by wearing pink on Fridays throughout the month of October. This Friday the staff will hold a breakfast to raise funds for the Ellen Hermanson Breast Care Center at Southampton Hospital. Tuckahoe’s fifth and sixth grade classes recently returned from their two-day Outdoor Education experience at Shelter Island’s Camp Quinipet. Students participated in team building challenges and a variety of enriching outdoor education activities. Fifth graders learned wilderness survival skills including, shelter building and compass orienteering. They also had the opportunity to take part in interactive lessons about primitive technology, birds of prey and recycling and composting. Sixth graders challenged themselves with rock climbing and observed Long
East Hampton High School The Homecoming pep rally begins on Friday at 1:40 PM, to raise the school spirit even more. Friday’s Homecoming Dance theme is “black out,” and all the attendees (from East Hampton High School only) are encouraged to wear all black. National Coming Out Day is Friday and the high school’s Gay Straight Alliance plans on honoring the day by handing out rainbow ribbons to all who wish to identify as allies. Lisa Shaw has a sustainable agriculture class at 9:15 AM, which is new this year, and she planted fall crops with her students a couple of weeks ago with the help of Ian Calder Piedmont, the EECO Farm outreach coordinator to school gardens. Plants were donated by Wittendale’s. The class is comprised of Denise Klein’s Life Skills students and Ms. Shaw’s students.

Homecoming. Lisa Shaw’s Family and Consumer Science students will be making carrot muffins with carrots fresh from the school garden. The guidance and counseling department will be administering the Explore assessment to freshmen, the Plan to sophomores, and the PSAT to juniors next Wednesday. On the same day seniors should report to school at 9:30 AM. for the annual senior picture and breakfast, ready to be fitted for their caps and gowns, which will be on sale after the breakfast, along with other graduation paraphernalia. On October 18 East Hampton High School will be the site for the annual College Fair, sponsored by the East End Counselors Association, featuring over 140 colleges from around the country. The event is from 10 AM to 1 PM, and students pursuing a higher education from other schools will be attending as well. Parents are encouraged to attend and speak to college representatives between 10 and 11 AM. Students must register online to attend at gotocollegefairs.com.
East Hampton Middle School There was an eighth grade “chef war” competition last week using all whole foods, no more than five ingredients, with three members to a team to construct a tasty dip. Lucky Middle School staffers judged presentation, nutritional value, and, of course, taste. Lea Bryant, who organizes the event, said, “The kids make up the recipe, evaluate the nutritional value, and

go shopping for the items. On ‘game day’ they must get their dip ready -- cut, dice, chop, blend -- and have prepared recipe cards for guests to take home. It’s a blast and they learn so much about how fantastic whole foods can taste as opposed to anything bought in a jar or can.” The chef wars continue next quarter.

Sag Harbor
Jewish Book Month Temple Adas Israel in Sag Harbor has organized a series of events celebrating Jewish Book Month. This celebration of Jewish literature was created in 1925 by Fanny Goldstein, a librarian at the West End Branch of the Boston Public Library. She set up an exhibit of Judaic books, using it as a focus of what she called Jewish Book Week. The event was later adopted by communities around the country and became so popular it was extended to a one-month period in 1943. On October 16, the Temple will sponsor a visit to the Gagosian Gallery, 980 Madison Avenue, in Manhattan. Participants will meet at the first floor gallery at 1:30 PM for a tour of Atemwende, an exhibition of ceramics by Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance. Atemwende comprises a series of vitrines (porcelain vessels arranged in specific groupings). From simple pairs of pots to complex arrangements in the hundreds, these pieces suggest sequences and patterns of a musical score, while their titles cite the poetry of Paul Celan, Wallace Stevens and others. There is no charge for the tour, and no transportation is provided. For additional details, contact the Temple office. Temple Adas Israel is located at Elizabeth Street and Atlantic Avenue in Sag Harbor. For further information about related upcoming events, visit the Temple’s website, TempleAdasIsrael.org, or email info@TempleAdasIsrael.org, or call 631-725-0904.

Pilkey devoted a portion of his remarks to just that, characterizing the Corps, an arm of the U.S. Congress, as dishonest and incompetent. “If all engineers were like the Corps of Engineers,“ he said, “it would be an adventure to cross a bridge.” Speaking to the issue at hand, Pilkey agreed with Leatherman: “Absolutely avoid hard structures if

During the public participation portion of the event, however, Steve Kalimnios, owner of the Royal Atlantic Resorts hotel, reminded that tourism comprises a significant portion of the local economy and the hotels along the strip account for 25 to 30 percent of the entire industry in Montauk. “If you lose that downtown row,” he said, “every business in the community is going to be affected.” Concluding his remarks

Relocating hotels and businesses imperiled by rising waves “shouldn’t be your responsibility,” Pilkey told the assemblage. “You weren’t the ones dumb enough to build on an eroding shoreline.” Leatherman said such projects

Leatherman said, “You have the option to say ‘Here’s what we want.” That’s not quite so. Fo l l o w i n g t h e S e p t e m b e r meeting, Army Corps Public Affairs Specialist Chris Gardner said that by law the feds may only expend federal funds on a project that proves to have a positive benefitto-cost ratio. At the town board meeting coastal planner Steve Couch said the use of sand alone was the most costly option, with an annual maintenance expense estimated at $5 million. In an aside, he said he doubted he could garner federal approval for the sand alone plan. He called the seawall option the most economically viable. On Saturday, Pilkey asserted, if building a seawall is the only option, “maybe you should not accept the money.” There was no opportunity for public input or questions during the September meeting. According to Gardner there will be “some level” of public comment taken during the environmental assessment of whichever plan is selected. Bob Stern, chair of the CCOM board, opened Saturday’s meeting by stating group members haven’t made up their minds about the options because they didn’t have enough information. Samuelson offered one of CCOM’s goals: “We want us to be a beach town that still has a beach.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

The Excitement Builds On The North Fork By Rick Murphy
The excitement is palpable on the North Fork. You can hear people talking – in Southold, in Greenport, in Mattituck. The home crowds are getting bigger, and with good reason. The combined high school team, comprised of players from the three East End schools, is undefeated for the first time in decades. Judging by Saturday’s game, there are more wins to come. Mattituck et al overwhelmed Port Jefferson 33-0 to run their record to 4-0 and grab a perch on top of the Division IV standings. On this day Frank Sierra was the top offensive performer, running for three scores and amassing 163 yards rushing.
It was the punishing defense that stifled the visitors – a safety and a Matt Drinkwater field goal put The Tuckers up by 12 at halftime, and three fourth quarter touchdowns sealed the deal. Port Jeff fell to 1-3. The North Forkers go to Stony Brook next Saturday to take on the Bears. The other local teams in Division IV had a week they’d rather forget. Babylon, which is also 4-0, bashed Hampton Bays 48-8. The Baymen are 1-3 on the season. East Hampton, winless after four games, lost to Center Moriches 35-14 — the Red Devils scored twice in the fourth quarter to break open a tight game. Stony Brook edged Southampton, 20-14. The Mariners, 1-3, play at East Hampton in a homecoming
game Saturday. Glenn crunched Mercy 31-0. Westhampton evened its record at 2-2 in Division III action, easily handling Comsewogue 31-7. Steve Tagliavia had the hot hand at quarterback, hurling two TD passes. It was the ground game, though, that chewed up the losers – Patrick Dean rushed for 125 yards and a score and Evan Gagne added 106. Westhampton plays at home against Huntington (3-1) at 5:30
Friday. Riverhead is hanging tough in Division II, sporting a 3-1 mark, good for second place behind Smithtown West. Saturday Jeremiah Cheatom, one of Long Island’s best tailbacks, rushed for 264 yards and three TDs as The Wave dispatched Bay Shore 40-18. Riverhead goes to Smithtown Saturday with the chance to take over undisputed possession of first place. That game is slated to begin at 2 PM.

We’re all in the same boat after five grueling weeks. Some of our players are hurt, some are getting benched, and some are getting the week off (Bye Week). That leaves us with thin fantasy lineups and frayed nerves. First of all, don’t be discouraged – we all cut players early in the season who are emerging now, and we wish we had them back. It doesn’t mean you are a failure as a fantasy player or as a human being (though if you’re reading this, you don’t have much of a life!). Look at it this way – you were smart enough to draft them to begin with. Focus on the here and now – identify the holes in your starting lineup, and fill them. Remember you are not going to get every free agent or waiver wire guy you bid on, so prepare not only a Plan B but a C, D, and E as well. For example, if you need a running back, Willie McGahee is most likely available. Look, he’s not OJ Simpson – he’s never even killed anyone (yet) -- but he did get 26 carries for the Browns last week. Probably quite a few teams in your league will bid on him, so make sure you place alternate picks. Andre Ellington looked good for Arizona, and he’s probably available. Ditto LaGarrette Blount and Brandon Bolden of New England. Are these guys going to get you much? Probably not, but something is better than nothing. Look ahead – I actually picked up Ellington last week after the Cardinals’ brass criticized the team’s lethargic running game. Here’s another one to grab now: Shane Vereen of the Pats is on injured reserve until Week 10 – that’s only a month away. Several wide receivers who may be available in your league have considerable upside. Keenan Allen of San Diego is my top choice because his quarterback, Philip Rivers, is on fire and Malcolm Floyd is out for the season. Justin Blackmon of Jacksonville is also a comer. As we said in out first column of the season, Reuben Randle of the Giants is a good sleeper – the youngster is talented, and the team is now 0-5, so it’s time to look to the future. Austin Pettis of the Rams just keeps scoring TDs, and he’s surprisingly still available in a lot of leagues. The same holds true for Terrance Williams (Cowboys) and Robert Woods (Buffalo).

Giants Season Over I was tempted to use this headline last week. But, I was foolish enough to buy into the scenario developing around the NFC East. After the Giants finished another embarrassing performance in a 31-7 road loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, they were still only two games back in the division. The Cowboys were leading the NFC East at 2-2, and were now facing a home match up with AFCbest Denver Broncos. A theoretical Cowboys loss, combined with a Giants win, and New York would be one game back in the division. But, after Sunday’s debacle at home against the Eagles, it’s finally time to bury the Giants in 2013. Forget the standings and the mediocrity from the Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles in the NFC East. The Giants have played historically bad. Their defense has allowed 182 points through five games, the most of any NFL team
What Can
since the 1961 Oakland Raiders allowed 187. Not convinced? Small Blue has given up at least 31 points in each of their first five games, which tied an NFL record set by the Chicago Cardinals in 1954. That is beyond pathetic. The Eagles lost quarterback Michael Vick late in the second quarter to a hamstring injury. Typically, a team losing their starting quarterback is a good sign for the opponent. But, that wouldn’t be the case for the Giants who gave up nearly 200 yards passing and two touchdowns in just over two quarters to back up Nick Foles. In recent years, the pride of the Giants has been their defensive line. But this season, New York has a total of five sacks in five games, second worst in the NFL. Jason Pierre-Paul looked explosive for the first time all season against the Eagles. But, for the most part, the line

hasn’t created much pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Meantime, the secondary is hurting. Management is signing players off the practice squad to play significant minutes, and the linebacking core is an indistinguishable bunch. Offensively, Eli Manning threw three more interceptions Sunday, and as of Monday, led the NFL with twelve picks. But, Manning shouldn’t be bearing the brunt of the offensive woes. The offense had its best performance in nearly a month on Sunday, with Hakeem Nicks and Ruben Randle combining for over 230 receiving yards. But, a banged up and ageing offensive line has caused a lot of the team’s struggles. Also, after the injury to Andre Brown, the running game was far too reliant on an unproven talent, David Wilson. There is plenty of blame to go around, but the majority of blame should be put on general manager Jerry Reese. For the past few years, Reese should have had the offensive line as a much higher priority in the draft. By the time Reese took Justin Pugh in the first round this past spring, he was fighting an uphill battle. Also, the organization that
October 9, 2013

used to pride itself on producing linebackers, hasn’t had a stable group in years. Tom Coughlin didn’t forget how to coach over the summer. I believe his message would still get through to a better group of players. The good news for the Giants is that there is no reason to go into a full-blown rebuild. For at least the next five years, they have the most important position filled. The league is so reliant on the quarterback position, and the Giants still have Eli Manning in his prime. But, no doubt, Jerry Reese’s seat should be getting warm. He is often credited with the Giants’ success in the 2007 draft which included selecting Aaron Ross, Steve Smith, Kevin Boss, and Ahmad Bradshaw, to name a few. He’ll need next spring to be just as productive to prove he’s the man to turn this team around. I still find it hard to believe that on Sunday October 6, 2013, Giants fans would already be anxiously counting down towards May 8, 2014: NFL Draft Night.
