Unwanted Medications Stored In Your Home? THE GREAT PECONIC
TAKE-BACK
On Nov. 18 - 10 AM to 5 PM You Can Dispose Of Your Old Pharmaceuticals Safely And For Free At Any Of Our Participating Pharmacies! Old Prescriptions And Over-The-Counter Meds Can Be Dangerous! Each year, more than 71,000 children aged 18 and younger are seen in emergency rooms for unintentional overdoses of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Among young people ages 12-17, prescription medications have become the second most abused illegal drug, behind marijuana. But improper disposal, such as flushing into septic systems, is also an issue. Pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones have been found in the drinking water supplies of some 41 million Americans. In order to deal with these problems, we have formed an alliance called the Peconic Independent Pharmacy Association (PIPA) and are announcing our bi-annual, joint project, a prescription drug ‘take back’ event to take place on Wednesday, November 18th, 2015. Under the program, anyone wishing to safely dispose of their expired, or otherwise unwanted medications will be able to bring them to any of the participating pharmacies and simply drop them off. Returned medications will be destroyed by environmentally safe incineration.The meds need not have been purchased at a PIPA pharmacy. All types of medications will be accepted.

They Don’t Dig The Hole
By Kitty Merrill
Independent / Kitty Merrill
A crater the size of a football field and almost two stories deep carved into the dune on the beach near Kirk Park awakened the ire of Montauk residents this week. By Sunday morning, hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the beach for a paddle out protest in opposition to the Army Corps of Engineers shoreline protection project. Group members were encouraged to storm the East Hampton Town Board’s Montauk work session, which was underway as The Independent went to press on Tuesday. Delayed and reduced from earlier proposals, the project covers over 3000 feet of oceanfront from Kirk Park at the west to the Atlantic Terrace at the east. Sand-filled bags known as geotubes will be buried, then covered with three feet of sand and planted with beach grass. Wi t h m o n e y a l l o c a t e d f o r Hurricane Sandy recovery, the installation of the geotubes, helmed by the Army Corps of Engineers, will cost $8.4 million. The feds are picking up that check, with East Hampton and Suffolk County on the hook for keeping the geotubes covered with sand. The maintenance price tag is estimated at $150,000 annually. Although the project has been the subject of ten public meetings over the last two years, plus dozens of articles in local papers, some Montauk residents, including photographer James Katsipis, were clearly unprepared for the sight of excavation equipment and a giant ditch that appeared on the beach at the end of last month. Using Facebook, Katsipis mobilized protestors, who appeared first at last Thursday night’s town

board meeting. In front of a standing room only crowd, Kevin McAllister of the organization Defend H2O was the first to address the elected officials.
Earlier this year Defend H2O filed suit and sought an injunction (unsuccessfully) to stop the project. McAllister opined geotubes are “hard structures” in conflict with the
town’s own laws prohibiting them along the shoreline. He predicted the ramifications of installing hard structures on the beach will be “enormous,” and worried that the

from Washington. The proposed $20 million restoration project was sliced by more than half. “Smoke was coming out of my ears,” the supervisor said, recalling the phone call advising him of the cut. Sympathetic to the community’s concerns, he said, “This is not a perfect project by any sense of the word.” On Thursday night, when Cantwell’s disinclination to step in and attempt to halt to work on the beach became evident, audience members called for forming a human chain to stop work.
precedent set could mean private homeowners will also look to use such methods to protect their oceanfront properties. Defend H2O’s attorney Carl Irace questioned the cost of the project. A spate of harsh weather could uncover the sandbags repeatedly and hike up the cost continually. “There’s a visceral reaction happening in Montauk right now,” Tom Muse told the town board. He characterized the project as “a potential budget-busting boondoggle.” Bonnie Brady spoke out for a sand solution to erosion rather than the use of geotubes. She’s hardly the first one. Town officials preferred the sand solution as well, Supervisor Larry Cantwell informed. It was not an option approved by the Army Corps. Over two years ago, thenSupervisor Bill Wilkinson shocked community members, not to mention his own colleagues on the town board, by presenting a plan to the feds that seemed to materialize without any public discussion. Wilky called for the installation of a rock revetment in front of the downtown motels. Just about everyone else called “foul!” The Army Corps then presented
a variety of options to the town board, and public – the rock wall, relocation of all the buildings th a t l i n e th e s ho r e o r s a nd replenishment. Board members later asked the Corps to consider geotubes. Consensus favored emergency sand replenishment, especially once a carrot was dangled. The decades-old Fire Island To Montauk Point plan would include a massive, multi-million dollar sand replenishment project for Downtown Montauk . . . some day. Trouble is, FIMP has been underway for close to 30 years, and although it’s slated to be completed this year, no one in the know is holding their breath. Still, Cantwell said Friday that attempting to halt the current project could jeopardize the promised mass replenishment. “Certainly it would undermine any credibility we have with the public, and Congress, and the Army Corps,” he said. Back in 2013, the board came down in support of the sand solution. The feds, however, had another plan. The sand solution was too costly, it’s geotubes or nothing, they said. By February, shortly after he took office, Cantwell got a surprise
Civil Civil Disobedience Friday morning dawned foggy and wet as a small contingent of protestors met at Kirk Park. With every beach access near the construction site cordoned off, they gained entry by walking through the Ocean End apartments property. About 25 demonstrators climbed down an embankment into the ditch, with the goal of preventing an excavator from moving through the area. They chanted, “Hey, ho. Hey, ho. Permanent structures got to go.” When a compatriot suggested a Buddhist chant, others agreed it was too early in the morning to learn the words. Speaking softly from the edge
of the crater, East Hampton Town Police Sergeant Robert Gurney told protesters they would have to leave. They would be given three warnings before arrests were made. Protesters conferred and just three – Katsipis, Sarah Conway, and Tom LaGrassa – decided to stay. After the last warning, police gave them a hand up out of the hole and escorted them to a police van. The charge was disorderly conduct. That was Friday. By Saturday night, Facebook was abuzz again, with a plan by Katsipis and compadres to hold another protest on Sunday morning. This time the turnout was extensive. Demonstrators numbering over 400 formed lines on land and sea. Close to a hundred surfers paddled out to the water as onlookers on the shore joined hands and chanted, “No More Army Corps,” and “Larry, are you listening?” Another two locals staged a protest Monday morning, descending into the pit and refusing to leave until the police escorted them out. If Cantwell wasn’t listening on Sunday morning, he’d have a chance Tuesday morning at the town board work session. In anticipation of a crowd, the board moved the meeting from the firehouse to the Montauk Playhouse.

WE DESERVE BETTER
Did you see Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live” the other night? Pitiful. Have you been following Ben Carson trying to get his lies about his childhood straight in his cloudy mind? How about Hillar y lying to Congress but taking bows as the leftleaning media cheered her for lying to the Republican dolts who were questioning her for 11 hours? What a performance. I guess she deserves a Best Lying Under Pressure award. Oh, she knew all along that it was a terrorist attack in Benghazi and not a protest about a video? Why did she go along with the charade? Guess Momma knows best and we children shouldn’t bother our empty little heads wanting to know who really killed four Americans. And let’s talk about Bernie Sanders. Did you ever think that a socialist – who at least is being honest about wanting to take the money away from those who work for a living and give it to those who don’t work – would do this well with American voters? Of course, what I can’t stand about the presidential candidates
of both parties is how little respect they have for the American people. Bernie Sanders moves up in the polls with his “Share the Other Guys’ Wealth” rhetoric. (It’s called communism. It didn’t work for Russia or China, but why not try it here?) So Hillary tacks left and starts to come up with her own “Let’s Screw the Rich” speeches. This is not just a one-party problem. Republican candidates are killing each other trying to imitate Republican poll leaders Trump and Carson whom, anyone with a brain knows, will never have a chance of being nominated. Trump pulls insane ideas out of his posterior, such as “I will get Mexico to pay for a wall I’m building to separate our countries,” and every Republican candidate starts to emulate Donald. His name-calling tactics had Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio screeching at each other like two wanna-be schoolyard babies. Now that Carson has pulled ahead of The Donald in some of the polls, you can bet that just before Tuesday’s debate some of the Republican candidates were

dropping acid so that they could sound as dreamy and weird as Carson. So what am I looking for in a candidate? I WANT A CANDIDATE WHO RESPECTS THE MILITARY. ISIS is not going to go away and they will get stronger with each passing day. I want a candidate who is ready to admit that in order to defeat ISIS we have to put boots on the ground. This is not a popular political stance but it beats “Leading from Behind,” a dopey strategy that will one day get us all killed by jihadists armed with nuclear weapons. I WA N T A B I PA R T I S A N C A N D I D AT E W H O A S PRESIDENT WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE POLITICAL OPPOSITION. We are in too much trouble, as a country, for one party to dominate and refuse to listen to the opposition. Government by “Executive Order” will, in the long run, destroy us. Democrats and Republicans are so far apart today that nothing can be accomplished. I want a president who will bring this country back together again. The threat to close down the government if one party doesn’t get their way must be eliminated, and that’s why a bully like Ted Cruz will never get my vote. I WANT A CANDIDATE WHO WILL NOT JUST TALK THE TALK BUT WILL WALK THE WALK. There are a lot of “wrongs” that
IN THE NEWS
must be fixed. First of all, 9/11 responders and war veterans must get the best care. They gave their health and limbs for us – how dare any politician ignore them. No candidates for any congressional office or the presidency should be elected until they pledge to help our 9/11 responders and war veterans. If they fail, they should be turned out of office. My choices for president are John Kasich and Marco Rubio, with Jeb Bush as a long-shot third choice. Failing to get them as presidential candidates, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Before all my Republican friends swallow their tongues: I don’t vote for a party as much as I vote for my country. Is there anyone, Republican or Democrat, who doesn’t believe that Hillary would have been a much better president than Barack Obama? Just look at our diminished position in the world. Look at the treatment of Israel, look at the disaster in Syria, Putin, the Iran deal . . . and don’t forget all the incredible lies. From the beginning there were the lies in Dreams of My Father a book that no one bothered to check out. My vote for Hillary will be cast based on a cynical sense I have, which I will share with you. Voting for the liar you know is better than voting for the liar that you don’t know. If you wish to comment on “Jerry’s Ink” please send your message to jerry@ dfjp.com.

Money:Good, Union:Unhappy By Kitty Merrill
Unwittingly, town officials offered ammo to unhappy union members. Members of East Hampton Town’s Civil Service Employees Association reason that, since they agreed to forego raises when the town suffered a financial crisis, now that it’s doing well, they should be taken care of. And the town is doing well. Last Thursday night during a public hearing on the proposed 2016 spending plan, Budget Officer Len Bernard lauded a “clean bill of health” from the Office of the State Comptroller. In the wake of the fiscal debacle perpetrated by disgraced
former supervisor Bill McGintee’s administration, successors sought approval from the state to borrow money to cover a multi-million dollar deficit. The approval came with a caveat; state auditors must review each budget for the lifetime of the $30 million loans. “It’s a good report,” Bernard said, preparing to read the letter from the OSC. The independent analysis is geared towards answering one question: Are the significant revenue and expenditure projections in the town’s budget reasonable? The review determined the projections are indeed, reasonable. The OSC also found the budget in compliance

news,“ he said. “It’s nice to get a clean bill of health from the state.” Bernard offered his comments to the town board and an audience comprised of several dozen CSEA members. When the opportunity for general public comment arose, Bill Walsh, president of Suffolk Municipal Employees Local 852, urged the town board to come back to the table and hash out a contract for employees. Talks broke down last summer after the CSEA membership voted down the agreement forged between the town board and their leaders. Key among the complaints is the removal of the step system that ties salary increases to longevity. Walsh invited members of the town board to get together for a cup of coffee and an informal chat with union members. Supervisor Larry Cantwell said he is always willing to talk. In other news, last Thursday night Councilman Fred Overton, a one-time commander of the local American Legion, reported a number of local vets contacted him, offended by comments made on Election Night and attributed to revelers claiming victory. Shouts of “Black Hawk Down!” followed by laughter were heard as Democrats celebrated their win. The expression comes from a war film and book based on the 1993 raid in Mogadishu by the military. High tech helicopters called Black Hawks were used in the mission, the exclamation on Election Night was a reference to the helicopter industry, which funneled money into opponents’ campaign. Overton pointed out that 18 soldiers were killed and 70 were injured in the mission. “Those of us who are vets, we never forget those losses,” he said, asking for a moment of silence to honor the soldiers who died. Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, who won re-election on the Democratic ticket, said he was certain the comment didn’t reflect anyone on the town board “at all.”

Deer Season Prompts Committee Action By Emily Toy
It’s that time of year again. The time when there’s an increase in deer activity near and on local roads due to mating and/ or hunting season. Fo r d e c a d e s , t h e To w n o f Southampton, and most other places on the East End, has suffered hundreds of deer-related vehicular accidents, and has also been plagued with a growing number of deer tickrelated illnesses and diseases. The Southampton Town Deer
Protection and Management Advisory Committee, consisting of several town officials as well as community members, is sharing several tips to help prevent a collision with a deer: Be vigilant. If you see one deer, expect to see several more. Slow down. As speed increases, so does the severity of a collision. Be aware, because deer are most active during the dawn and dusk. Goals of the committee include providing landowners and the public
with available options for reducing the impact of deer/vehicle collisions and damage to landscaping and agricultural crops. The committee was developed after there were several public inquiries throughout the East End about the white-tailed deer population. While opinions of how to handle the deer population issue continue to differ, the town created the committee as a means to find a unified approach to sustaining deer populations while balancing

human needs. “Creating a Deer Protection and Management Plan presents a host of challenges, from education the public on deer conservation, to options available to landowners seeking to limit the damage that deer can have on landscaping and agricultural lands,” according to a press release from the committee from last Friday. Traditionally, white-tailed deer are hunted within the town by bow or shotgun. Hunting seasons and hunting methods are governed by the New York State Department of Environmental Protection, with the current hunting season remaining open through January 31, 2016. Additionally, the town issued 108 Landowner’s Endorsement permits last year, which allows hunters to access other people’s property through the property owner’s written consent. As a participant in the DEC’s Deer Management Assistance Program, giving out 26 DMP permits in 2014, Southampton Town reported 666 deer harvested last year. In July, Councilwoman Christine Scalera sponsored a resolution providing for an increase in the height of deer fencing around public and community gardens from six feet to eight feet. Other methods the committee is continuing to explore this season include sterilization and immunocontracpetion. The release from the committee claims “The deer population can only be managed using methods other than hunting. . . consideration has been given to surgical sterilization of deer in localized areas.” The release continues, “However, use of this technique is not only extremely expensive, with the cost estimated at about $1000 per deer, but generally impractical, as a high percentage of deer would need to be captured and sterilized in order to reduce population numbers.” (See elsewhere in this edition for the reaction of one East Hampton organization to its village’s sterilization program.) Immunocontraception, where a trained dart shooter “shoots” female deer with a vaccine that disrupts the reproductive function, has proved to be a successful means of reducing deer populations for over two decades, most notably on Fire Island. On Fire Island, hunting is prohibited, so there’s less concern about people eating venison from a dart-targeted deer. For more information on the committee and the deer management program, visit the town’s website at www.southamptontownny.gov or contact Amy Pfeiffer, a committee member, at 631-702-1808.

Tom Rock Is On His Game By Rick Murphy
What does a sportswriter write about when he decides to publish his first novel? Big duh. Sports, of course. But in Game Seven, Tom Rock approaches the genre with a cynic’s eye, and manages to intrigue readers not only with the intrinsic allure of the game but the struggles grappled with beneath the surface and out of the public eye. Rock’s protagonist, Scott Findle, is indeed a sportswriter. He is on assignment, covering the World Series no less, when a set of bizarre circumstances forces him to confront the conflict between his professional life and his personal life. Rock knows a thing or two about being a sportswriter – he‘s spent his entire adult life doing it. In fact, Rock began his career at this very newspaper 20 years ago. “I grew up in Levittown and went to C.W. Post. My first job was at The Independent,” he recalled. Long time staffers recalled Rock would sometimes bed down in the office rather than make the trek back and forth. “I was burning more gas than I made,” he said with a laugh. Rock was a quick learner. He went to work for Newsday, and started at the bottom. First, he covered high school sports, as he did at The Independent. He graduated to college sports, and then became an Outdoors columnist. In 2006 he got a plum assignment – the New York Jets. He did that for two years, 2006 and 2007. “One day they tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was interested in covering The Giants (NFL team).” He has been the beat writer for the team ever since, one of the juiciest jobs in the business. Like the character in Game Seven, though, Rock learned he had to cope
with a lot of stuff outside the lines. “I love the game, but there is all the other stuff. The salaries, the Twitter, the steroids.” Even the media has changed – reporters are more intrusive and sometimes become part of the story along with the players. The scene provides a rich vein to mine for Rock. Game Seven takes off just before game seven of a mythical World Series between the Red Sox and Cubs. Findle is poised to cover the most important game of his life, when his ex wife, a consultant for a presidential candidate, and his
former best friend, a famous writer, reappear in his life. The protagonist thus finds himself in the middle of a dangerous intersection dodging traffic from all directions. Game Seven provides a glimpse into the ever-changing world of professional sports and the absurdities and over-indulgences of today’s pampered athletes – and politicians. Rock reminds us of the simpler times when we played the game because we loved it -- before the absurdities set in. For more information email GameSevenNovel@gmail.com.

IN THE NEWS
Michael Troyan into custody last week after a lengthy investigation. Troyan operated two urgent care clinics through which he allegedly issued thousands of prescriptions. The scam, investigations said, was to funnel the pills to gang members who would sell the highly addictive pain medication and split the profit with him. Last Wednesday officers from local police departments and DEA investigators, backed up by members of the East End Drug Task Force, made their move. Troyan, 37, is charged with conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and a Grand Jury indictment is to follow. Special Agent In Charge James L. Hunt said, “People who are addicted to opioid painkillers are 40 times more likely to try heroin.” According to published reports Troyan was captured on video writing phony prescriptions. He faces up to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of $1 million if convicted.

Seek Sterilization Stop Work Order
By Kitty Merrill
On Friday, the East Hampton Group for Wildlife filed for an injunction in State Supreme Court to halt the Village of East Hampton’s deer sterilization program. Under pressure to address the burgeoning deer population, village officials decided to spend $140,000 to undertake the controversial program. The Village Preservation Society, which had been pressing for a solution, donated $100,000, with the village contributing the balance. In January, the White Buffalo firm, under contract with the village, surgically removed the ovaries of 114 does. The ovariectomies were performed in a Department of Public Works shed “in unsanitary conditions,” according to EHGW. By June, an estimated 17 sterilized does died trying to give birth. The deaths, some of them detailed by local photographer and wildlife removal specialist Dell Cullum, were gruesome. He was called to area residences to remove the dying creatures and reported an array of horrific injuries, not the least of which were infection and septic shock the animals suffered from the surgery or subsequent attempts to give birth. At the time, Tony DeNicola, president of White Buffalo, reportedly noted that the deaths were statistically within the range of normal losses due to complications. Beyond the horror animal lovers feel at the torture of the deer, there are also questions as to the efficacy of sterilization programs. Last year the Washington Post detailed “surprising” results of the deer sterilization program at Cornell University in Ithaca. Following the surgeries, biologists tracked the herd. There were 100 deer at the outset of the program. After five years, there were still 100 deer. Why? The experts posited that, while the doe and fawn population dipped, the buck population surged. Bucks will travel to find does in heat. Does go into heat until they are impregnated. If they don’t become pregnant, they’ll go into another heat. The chemical signals
indicating a readiness to reproduce can attract bucks from miles around. “By preventing pregnancy in does, Cornell had accidentally invented a population of buck magnets that regularly drew in new deer from the surrounding area,“ Post writer Jackson Landers surmised. The alternative to a sterilization program, using sharpshooters to cull the critters, has also come under fire. Two years ago, the Long Island Farm Bureau secured a grant to cover the cost of a cull programs on the East End. Protests ensued and only Southold Town followed through on the plan. EHGW filed suit and over 10,000 signatures marked a petition against the notion. In late October, White Buffalo
returned to continue sterilization. The contract calls for additional surgeries over the next four years. According to Bill Crain, president of the Group for Wildlife, “White Buffalo’s most recent round of
November 11, 2015
sterilization has been shrouded in secrecy, handicapping legal action against it. But the Group for Wildlife believes its lawsuit can halt White Buffalo’s careless and gruesome work in the next four years.” In addition to the East Hampton Group for Wildlife, plaintiffs are William Crain, Ellen Crain, Adrienne Kitaeff, and Betsy Petroski. The attorney is Michael Welch.

other than gas stations and bakeries were closed on Thanksgiving. This allowed for this purely American holiday to be one of the few days when all Americans celebrated together with some type of family gathering. But a couple of years ago, a crack in the door was opened when some of the Big-Box retailers sought to get a leg up on the competition by opening for just a few hours on Thanksgiving. These conglomerates quickly realized that the small Mom & Pop stores on Main Street, which wouldn’t open their doors until

Black Friday, just couldn’t compete. While the CEOs stayed home with their families, their laborers earning minimum wage or slightly above were being forced to work and forfeit possibly the one day they might have together with the whole family. It’s not enough to say that they were given bonuses to work that day. While this might have started off as a purely voluntary venture, it has now become mandatory for many of these low-end workers who usually have no union to protect them. Now the Big-Box Stores are taking it to the next extreme, opening in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving, just as they had traditionally done on Black Friday. So, not only are these workers losing their holiday, but the stores on Main Street get further pummeled by the behemoths. That’s why I introduced legislation over 15 years ago as a legislator to prevent most of these stores from forcing workers to work on this holiday. Unfortunately, every time I submitted the bill, it would be

tabled. Many stated it was simply a matter of choice for the worker. But what is the choice? Stay away from your family or get fired? I remember my father, the owner of an appliance and furniture store, having Sundays off because of the Blue Laws. The world has changed significantly and it is illogical to think that we would ever go back to the Blue Law days -- nor would we want to. But isn’t there just one day of the year where we can say, “Let’s give it a rest?” I am not a government intrusion kind of guy. I didn’t like Mayor Bloomberg telling me how big my soda could be or that I can’t have salt at my local restaurant. However, we still have a chance to make sure that what makes Thanksgiving special – time with our families – remains special. It’s time to level the playing field by prohibiting these Big-Box Store from putting our local Mom & Pops at a competitive disadvantage and spoiling what was once a unifying national experience.

ugly. Kids can be cruel to other kids. I attended school in Brooklyn, and you needed a very strong disposition to absorb the insults if you were to survive. It wasn’t just you – they insulted your whole family, too. I still remember some of the more cutting insults: “Your mother wears combat boots.” I could never figure that one out. Why was that insulting? I could understand the base insults. “Your mother is a whore,” Frankie Raffinello used to tell me all the time, except he pronounced it whoooooooooo-are. I could never figure out what he meant. Finally I went to my mother and asked, “Are you some kind of owl?” She just looked at me

quizzically. In the summer we’d live in Sag Harbor. The kids were, shall we say, a bit more genteel than their eight year-old Brooklyn counterparts. They yell stuff like, “Mrs. Murphy is REALLY bad! Mrs. Murphy has a silly face!” Then they would giggle hysterically as if it was the wittiest rank out in the history of rank outs and they were the coolest kids around. I didn’t have the heart to tell them if they were cool, they’d carry knives. Once, disgusted by how corny the Sag Harbor kids were, my friend Craig shouted out something extremely graphic about one of their mothers and what she was doing with three or more members of a professional basketball team. My Sag Harbor friends turned pale and went home without a single rejoinder. There were two rank outs the Sag Harbor kids used that have baffled me to this day: One was “your backside’s sucking putty balls.” What does this mean? Is it Silly Putty? What the heck is my backside going to do with it, press it on the funny pages until a comic appears on the putty? Then what? Put it back in that stupid egg it comes in, as if there is any possible logical reason for a blob of putty to come in an egg to begin with? What the hell is putty, anyway? The other Sag Harbor centric putdown was “your mother sucks bat doo off cave walls.” Huh? What is this, the Future Spelunkers of America? Do these nerds from the country sit around with those stupid helmets with headlights on them and think of clever cave retorts about the mothers of city kids? I know my mother wouldn’t be caught dead in a cave – hmmmmm, unless she was an owl, of course. It’s only now I realize some kids took these taunts to heart, and probably suffered emotionally; scars that remain to this day. It’s quite likely the real sociopaths, the ones who play with chainsaws at cemeteries, are kids who could never come to grips with their mothers hanging out in caves wearing combat boots, even if they were with the New York Knicks. That is why as we grow older we must learn to use restraint – and kindness. You just can not run up to a little kid in the candy store and say, “Ouch, dude, you so ugly my face hurts!” It’s wrong. It’s just not cool making fun of ugly or handicapped people anymore, not like it was say, a couple years ago. I’ve matured. My mother wasn’t a whoooooooo-are – I know that now -- even if she did wear combat boots once in a while.

EDITORIAL
Despicable Behavior East Hampton residents, like their counterparts in Southampton, are learning the hard way: they must be extremely diligent to prevent town government from eroding the authority held by our town trustees. The trustees, the oldest governing bodies in the state, retain their authority from colonial times. Their job is to safeguard the public’s right to use our public waterways and beaches. In East Hampton, a resounding victory for Democratic candidates contained two jarring omissions. Somehow Deb Klughers and Zach Cohen, two town trustee candidates, received hundreds of votes less than the other Democrats on the ballot. This was no accident. Party leaders targeted them. At one point their pictures and bios were removed from campaign literature distributed and paid for by their own party. What is particularly troubling is Klughers and Cohen were – literally – the most well educated and intelligent candidates on the entire ballot. More so, some of the Democratic candidates like Rona Klopman and former party boss Bill Taylor, had no business being on the ballot at all. The Dems also targeted a Republican, Diane McNally, the longtime clerk of the trustees and a treasure trove of knowledge about the town and the trustees’ role. She was targeted for the same reason Klughers and Cohen were: she refused to negotiate away the rights of the people or compromise with the south-of-the highway fatcats. Southampton Town is going through the same thing: be it in Southampton Village, the West Hampton Dunes or Sagaponack, the uber-wealthy would keep not only trucks but people off the ocean beaches if they could. Obviously, the people who live in beachfront communities and who donate money drive the Democratic agenda. They have long considered the beach to be their private enclave. Cohen, McNally and Klughers? They knew too much, and were honest and courageous enough to say so publicly. So their proverbial heads were cut off. Nice stuff, eh? Be clear about this: whenever the town board does something related to our beaches without first getting approval from the trustees a rail is removed from the fence protecting our rights. It may be as seemingly mundane as prohibiting beer drinking on Indian Wells Beach, or public access to the South Flora preserve. Each becomes a precedent when the court battles begin – each asserts the right of the township over its town trustees. Voters who took the bait and voted against the above candidates are complicit in the very real -- and deliberate -- taking of our public access to beaches. So when the last roadblock goes up, and the last public access for trucks gets roped off, don’t ask who you should complain to -- you did this to yourselves. Every candidate we interviewed from both towns swore of their love for and belief in the authority of the town trustees. Let’s hope we start seeing some of that manifest itself in actions, not words.
Is it just me? Aren’t you getting a bit extreme with this environmental stuff?

Leave The Leaves It’s so pretty, the softly hued autumn leaves falling like delicate confetti on a fall day. It’s so loud, the ear-splitting drone of leaf blowers. This week, the New York League of Conservation Voters suggests, “Leave the Leaves.” Layers of leaves form their own tiny ecosystem, preserving insects necessary for the survival of local animals. Says, NYLCV, “Getting rid of your leaves can make it harder for animals such as chipmunks, shrews, box turtles, salamanders, and toads to find sustenance. Further down the line, the birds in the spring will need to find insects, and will have a much easier time if you’ve given these sources of nutrients a place with the leaves.” Gardeners can use leaves as natural mulch. It can stop the growth of weeds while fertilizing the soil and keeping costs down. Mixing fallen leaves into a flowerbed can help bolster the health of soil. Pollution is another argument against leaf removal, NYLCV points out. Leaf blowers rely on fossil fuels, which contribute a whole panoply of environmental problems. Bagging leaves wastes energy, as does transporting them to recycling centers for disposal. “If that wasn’t enough,” the release from the

Real Estate Report
Market Needs A Kick-start By Rick Murphy
Inventory is down and that’s a good sign. Prices are stabilizing, though, and that’s Real Estate speak that means the market has been flat of late. According to a report issued by Jason Schommer for the Corcoran Group, “demand for residential and luxury homes has remained strong” for the third quarter of 2015. Current inventory is at its lowest level in five years, Schommer reports, and that means the glut that has held the market down since the 2008 meltdown is finally beginning to loosen, at least theoretically.
That’s usually a precursor to rising prices. Seventy percent of sales were in the $2 million and under range, and the high-end luxury market (above $5 million), represented eight percent of the total sales. A separate analysis, the Elliman Report states sales in The Hamptons are down 14.1 percent against the same quarter last year and down 20.1 percent for the year. The Median Sales Price has risen in the past year from $865,000 to $950,000. Sales on the North Fork were down 16.2 percent, but the Average Sales Price rose by 16.1 percent.
Schommer said the Ask to Sell Price ratio went from 6.3 percent to 5.8 percent. He interprets it to mean “Sellers are pricing their property closer to the market value” and that buyers are more willing to pay realistic prices. It could also mean sellers are lowering their prices to meet more realistic levels. As far as big ticket items go, the highest recorded deed transfer in Amagansett was for an oceanfront parcel on 2.1 acres with a gray, postmodern house and pool. Owned by G. Ciotti, it sold to an entity called Grandma’s and Grandpa’s for an even $12 million.
IN THE NEWS
In Bridgehampton a four-acre parcel just steps from the ocean offered in tandem with the builder Jay Bialsky’s house plans sold for $11 million. The asking price had been almost five million dollars more until relatively recently. A property on iconic Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton Village was sold for $16.5 million. A limited liability corporation sold the 1.8 acre property to Schlosstein and Hartley. The farmhouse, on the middle of the block, is significant – eight bedrooms, six baths, and 6500 square-feet. A mansion located at 350 Wickapogue in Southampton was the highest price paid locally for a property in this area. The mansion, with eight bedrooms, nine bath and over 8,000 of living space sold for $20.7 million. The original asking price was $21.995 million

Last Chance For Raffle Tix The last public event where chances will be sold for the East End Classic Boat Society’s vintage design raffle boat will be the Largest Clam Contest on Sunday in Amagansett. This year’s prize will be drawn December 5 at the boat club’s headquarters at 301 Bluff Road Amagansett behind the Maritime Museum. The raffle craft is a 13-foot Pooduck class skiff that comes with a trailer, lug sailing rig, and oars. Hand-built by EECBS members, the boat has varnished mahogany seats, a glued marine plywood hull, and mahogany gunnels. It can be sailed, rowed, sculled, or equipped with a small outboard motor. The swing centerboard skiff is similar in design, but larger than the Shellback dinghy, created by noted boat designer Joel White. Tickets for the raffle cost $5. Proceeds from the raffle are used to pay the operating costs of the nonprofit group’s Community Boat House operation, which is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM and welcomes anyone with an interest in boat building. Those who miss the opportunity to buy chances at the Largest Clam Contest can still purchase them at the EECBS boat shop during operating hours. Call 631-324-2490 for further information.

Literary Critic At Temple Noted literary critic and professor, Morris Dickstein, author of Why Not Say What Happened will discuss the art and challenges of memoir writing when he speaks at Temple Adas Israel on Sunday at 11 AM. Dickstein, a Sag Harbor resident and member of Temple Adas Israel, is a renowned literary
critic and distinguished professor emeritus of English and theater at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His memoir recalls his conflictladen journey to academia from the warm embrace of an Orthodox upbringing. Growing up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1940s, he attended a Yeshiva, where he studied religious texts in Yiddish in the mornings and

learned secular subjects (in English) in the afternoons. Even while attending Columbia University he was also enrolled as a student at the Jewish Theological Seminary. It was as if he were preparing for two different lives. Once he became wholly immersed in his literary studies — especially English and American literature — he dropped out of the seminary just short of graduation. Everyone is invited to learn more about Dickstein’s intriguing life story and how to create your own captivating memoir. This event is one of two programs celebrating

S chool D ays Riley Avenue Elementary Riverhead Highway Department Superintendent George “Gio” Woodson and three of his crew made a trip to the Riley Avenue Elementary School prior to the first snowstorm of the winter to caution the students about playing by the road after a snowstorm when the highway crew is out cleaning them off. In addition to this message about safety, these first graders learned all about the vehicles used for snow removal. They learned the names and functions and were given a chance to ask questions about each truck. The students learned about the many uses of the pay loader, how the snow blower works and the force with which it can blow the snow off the road, and how the basic snowplow removes the snow from the roads. The children loved the whole experience! Tuckahoe School Tuckahoe eighth graders recently
attended Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island for their three-day outdoor education trip. They participated in team building exercises and explored activities aligning with their science curriculum. The students studied aeronautics, including a live demonstration of a rocket in flight. Additionally, they took a boat trip aboard the American Beauty to study local aquaculture. Students learned geo-caching and traveled the island in pursuit of hidden treasures led by GPS coordinates. Finally, they worked alongside two deep-sea divers to reconstruct the story of a local shipwreck in an in-depth marine archaeology seminar. Their trip was both entertaining and enriching. Our PTO Thanksgiving Feast this year is going to be held on Friday. Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on Monday and Tuesday. Students will have early dismissal these two days at 11:23 AM.

Hurricanes Stay Alive By Rick Murphy
Even making it into the Division III playoffs seemed like an impossibility for the Westhampton Beach High School football team a month ago. Now the Hurricanes are in the
semifinals and a game away from playing for the Suffolk County title. Saturday the locals, the #6 seed, had to travel to Kings Point to play the third seeded Kingsmen. Just a month ago Kings Point easily defeated the Hurricanes. Not this
time – Westhampton shocked the favorites 31-26. Kings Point came out fast, launching two long touchdown d r i v e s . I m p r o b a b l y, t h o u g h , Westhampton answered each with a kickoff return – Bryce Phillips took

it to the house from 51 yards out to give his team a 7-6 advantage, and later Dylan Laube raced 91 yards to even up the score at 14 after one stanza. The third quarter, though, belonged to the upstart Hurricanes. Laube broke through a gaping hole for a 60-yard romp, and later in the third quarter Zach Arrasate broke off a 79-yard scoring run that proved the backbreaker for the home team. From then on the Westhampton defense stiffened, holding Kings Point to one more touchdown late in the game. He would end up 130 rushing yards on only six carries, and Laube added 119. The other East End teams weren’t as fortunate. Riverhead, playing in Division II, lost a heartbreaker to West Islip 14-6. The Waves moved to within one in the fourth quarter on a seven-yard pass from Tristan Falisi to Ryun Moore but could not mount another drive. In Division IV action Shoreham Wading River bounced Mercy 41-7 and Hampton Bays was eliminated at the hands of Mt. Sinai 28-6. We s t h a m p t o n w i l l p l a y powerhouse Sayville, Saturday at 1 PM in Sayville. The Golden Flashes are the top seed, defending champion, and undefeated.

Field Hockey, Soccer Wrap Pierson wants another one. The Lady Whalers know what it’s like to win a state field hockey title, having turned the trick in 2013 after losing a heartbreaker a year earlier. Saturday, the locals edged Carle Place for the Long Island title and earned a return engagement in the State Final Four tournament. Pa i g e S c h a e f e r, o n l y a freshman, found the net for the only goal of the game as Pierson prevailed, 1-0 victory in the Long Island Class C Championship game on Sunday at Dowling College. Mark the weekend of November 14 and 15 on the calendar; that’s when the Lady Whalers play for the state crown, beginning with a semifinal match against an opponent yet to be determined. The tournament will take place at Maine/Endwell High School in Endwell. Earlier in the week the locals took apart Port Jefferson 6-0 to earn the Suffolk County Class C title.
Soccer The most successful season in the history of Southampton High finally ended Saturday, when the boys’ soccer team was eliminated from the state playoff. The Mariners dropped a 1-0 nail-biter to at Lakeland High School in Westchester Saturday. Hastings scored the only goal of the game on a penalty kick in the first half The Southold boys’ soccer team was eliminated from the state tournament in the Southeast regional semifinal last Wednesday.

for a small slam. Unfortunately for South, West leads the ace of clubs and East signals with the 10 of clubs. West then leads another club and South is down one before he can even begin. The problem here is that South used the wrong tool to explore for slam even though there were enough points to explore, he had one of two types of hands unsuitable for Blackwood, namely, a worthless doubleton in clubs. The other unsuitable hand is one that contains a void in a side suit. So, what to do? Use cue bidding for first and second round controls. Before you can do this, there must be clear agreement about the final denomination. Both North and South need to agree that, in this hand, spades is the trump suit and by North bidding 2N, they agreed that spades was their suit. South can show his point count by bidding 3S, showing at least 18 points. Now the cue bidding can start. North shows first round control by bidding the lowest ranking suit he has above 3N. Since he does not have first round control in clubs, he can’t bid 4C but he does have first round control in diamonds and

shows that by bidding 4D. South then bids 4H to show first round control in hearts. Since you do not include the trump suit in cue bidding, North seeks to show second round control which is a singleton or the king. Again he can’t bid 5C because he does not have the king or a single club. In fact, North bids 5S showing that he has no more first or second round controls. South now knows there is a big problem in the club suit and passes 5S which makes easily. South loses only the ace and king of clubs. Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

Shoeboxes For Kids Starting Monday, locations on the East End and throughout Suffolk County will serve as collection sites for the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind: Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization founded by Franklin Graham. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled show boxes to more than 124 million children in more than 150 countries and territories. For many of the children, a gift-filled shoebox is the first gift they ever received. The annual Samaritan’s Purse project is a favorite among an array of Suffolk churches, families, and individuals. Said volunteer Danielle McCarty, “Through the simple act of filling a shoebox, someone in Suffolk County can make a tangible difference in the life of a child halfway around the world. Anyone can participate and bring joy to a child facing difficult circumstances.” Locally, collection sites include Eastport Bible Church, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Aquebogue, and Grace Presbyterian Church in Water Mill. Too busy to shop? You can also virtually pack a shoebox using the Samaritan Purse website. Visit samaritanspurse.org/occ and select toys and gifts, write a note of encouragement and “pack” them in a shoebox. Then, you can track your box to see where it’s delivered. For information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 518-437-0690.
