Hungry For Help By Kitty Merrill

They may not make it through the winter. “We have no money left,” Gabrielle Scarpaci, executive director of the East Hampton Food Pantry told The Independent this week. “We’re really struggling.” The pantry is currently serving between 300 and 350 families per week, and, said Scarpaci, “Every week the numbers are going up.” In addition to the main pantry, which operates out of Windmill Village on Accabonac Road, a satellite in the community room at the St. Michael’s Senior Apartments in Amagansett also runs from October to April. Numbers there are growing, too, with seniors from the affordable housing complex beginning to use the pantry. The business community has a history of supporting the pantry with both food and financial donations. Scarpaci listed eight gourmet shops and stores that donate fresh bread and baked goods alone. A portion of the East End Community Organic Farm is set aside for growing produce, which

allows volunteers to provide fresh vegetables and herbs to pantry users all year round. On top of Independent/James J.

A FACE IN THE CROWD

One of my all-time favorite movies is Elia Kazan’s classic A Face in the Crowd (1957), which starred Andy Griffith and featured a great performance by Patricia Neal, an actress for whom I always had the “hots.” The film, in a nutshell, is about a drifter named Lonesome Rhodes (played by Griffith) who, against all odds, gets an audition as a disc jockey on a radio show in Memphis, where he becomes famous spoofing commercials. He’s got a great voice and a great delivery that has everyone listening to the show believing he is speaking just to them. He becomes an overnight star and his mesmerizing delivery enables him to grow into one the best-loved, most powerful personalities in the country. There is nothing his followers won’t buy or do if he requests it. Then one day, when he believes a show is over, he reveals his true personality when he accidently talks into an open microphone and shocks the nation that so loved him. Those people who worshipped him

suddenly see him for what he is – not the sweet-talking god they had imagined him to be, but a man of ugly flaws and weaknesses. In the last few minutes of the movie you watch Lonesome Rhodes’ career spiraling down. Yes, he will still be on the air, but most people won’t hear what he has to say the same way they did when he was riding high. It’s gone – the “magic” in his voice that made him so popular will never return to its former glory again. A Face in the Crowd is a thinly disguised story of Arthur Godfrey, a much-loved broadcaster of the 1940s, 50s and 60s who, in one revealing moment, lost the respect of those people who loved him during the years when he was king. Lately, whenever I think of Barack Obama I think of Lonesome Rhodes and A Face in the Crowd. I think of the Obama who, when he was first elected in 2008, spoke to an adoring crowd of millions in Berlin, who seemed ready to declare him

“President of the World.” I think of Candidate Obama who merely had to say “Yes, we can,” and he would have his followers swooning in ecstasy. Barack Obama’s finest moment came when he first was sworn in as President. Bear Stearns was gone. Lehman Brothers had folded. Citibank was tottering. This country was a few days away from a depression that might have turned into a worldwide catastrophe. President Obama stepped in and saved us by bailing out the financial sector. He did a lot of it with his voice. He calmed the nation. A lot of people who didn’t vote for him, myself included, thought for a moment he was going to be a great president. Then came Obamacare. Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare: “We have to pass it, to find out what’s in it.” A physician called into a radio show and said: “That’s the definition of a stool sample.” I believe the Obama magic went when he decided to bribe, cheat and do everything in his power to shove Obamacare down the throats of the 56 percent of the Americans who didn’t want it. His “magic” went because, sadly, Obama turned out to be just another lying politician. What it all boils down to is the American people don’t mind being lied to by their politicians, but they get testy when they are lied to by one of their “gods.” The president turned into “Chucky” from the horror movie. Perhaps it was always there. He turned to class and racial warfare. It was a wise political move and it got him reelected in 2012 and it will always give him a large enough constituency of Blacks, Latinos, union

IN THE NEWS

goons, Liberals and of course those hear-no-evil, see-no-evil, think-no-evil Democrats. They form the new political majority that could get Barack Obama re-elected “Dictator for Life” if he so chooses. But for the rest of America, it’s different for President Obama now. Suddenly nothing he says in a speech rings true anymore. Suddenly he’s not cool anymore. Suddenly even his love-struck, staunchest followers are dismayed. Ask them about Obama and they look sad, put their heads down and mumble. And to those Democrats who are about to write in and object to this column I offer you this quote: “If you like the health insurance plan you have you can keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. PERIOD.” A terrible lie that was repeated 17 times. Are you still wondering why Democrat politicians in every state are diving for cover? All the kings’ horses and all the kings’ men can’t put Barack Obama’s “magic” back to where it was again. He’s Lonesome Rhodes saying the same things in the same way, but no one in the audience can bring themselves to shout “Yes, we can” again. It’s not there; it’s gone. So what does the future hold for this handsome man with a great voice and style and the fantastic ability to make the perfect speech? Where can he go? He can take his memories, he can take his voice, his looks, his fine family and mercifully get out of our lives. If he wants to stay in the public eye he can always be Mayor of New York City.

Police Quickly Apprehend Armed Robbery Suspect By Rick Murphy

A man who told a lone clerk that he had a gun boldly walked into a liquor store in Springs, took cash from the register, and made a successful getaway on foot. The suspect, who kept his hand in his pocket the whole time, likely didn’t know the entire robbery was captured on a security camera -- his face was clearly visible. The incident occurred shortly

before 5 PM Saturday at Springs Wines and Liquors at 839 Springs Fireplace Road. He headed west on Fort Pond Boulevard and made a clean getaway. Police did not reveal how much money was taken. East Hampton Town Police quickly responded to the scene, viewed the film, captured the suspect’s image, and circulated it via e-mail and on the Internet. He was wearing a gray hoodie, a black

vest, and had his pants pulled down to reveal his underwear. He had on sunglasses, and was white. The clerk said he was about six-foot tall. By Monday police knew who they were looking for. Though no one said as much, it is believed that a number of people recognized the suspect and tipped the authorities.

Shortly after 10 AM police pulled over a 2004 Gray Dodge Ram pickup truck and took John X. Tracey III into custody. Tracey, who police said lives on Kings Point Road in Springs, was charged with one count of First Degree Robbery, a felony, and held for arraignment the following morning.

Indies May Have Political Hold In Southampton By Emily Toy

With Election Day in the rear view mirror and new faces joining the Southampton Town Board, the Independence Party saw many of its own headed to, or remaining in public office. The political tone of the usually GOP-dominated town may finally be changing. Incumbent Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, an Independence Party member, was re-elected over her opponent Linda Kabot last week. Brad Bender, another Independent, earned 5746 votes as of Monday, giving him one of two seats on the town board. Should the numbers hold, the five-member town board would include two Independence Party members (both of whom have Democratic leanings), two Republicans (Stan Glinka and current Councilwoman Christine Scalera), and Councilwoman Bridget Fleming, a Democrat. If the numbers hold, for the first time since the early 90s, the town council in Southampton won’t have a GOP majority. Legislator Jay Schneiderman, a longtime Independence Party member, said Glinka was “independent-minded” and expects him to work well with Throne-Holst. When asked about the Independence Party’s successes with this year’s election, he added, “I think the message is resonating. People are tired of partisan politics. People are looking for elected officials to represent them.” Schneiderman also noted how “there’s something going on out here for the ‘I’ [Independence Party]. Here on the East End, we’re electing people who are registered Independents in large numbers.” Schneiderman added part of the appeal for the Independence Party is the party may be more progressive socially, but at the same time is

fiscally conservative. Last week’s election had Schneiderman keep his seat on the horseshoe. Assemblyman Fred Thiele (I-Sag Harbor) said he was happy with the results from last week. “It’s typically so competitive in Southampton,” he said. “This board has a lot of potential.” Thiele noted the reason why people vote Independent is because “the people know the candidate will work above partisan politics.” Thiele held a working majority in 1993 and 1994 as Southampton Town Supervisor. “My advice [to Throne-Holst] is to reach out to all four other councilpeople,” he said, “and to have

the board work above parties.” Schneiderman expects the town board to be very bipartisan. “Government should be accessible to everyone,” he said. “I hope they take advantage of that.”

Alex Gregor kept his position as Highway Superintendent, besting Dave Betts last week. Gregor, is, you guessed it, an Independence Party member. Emily@indyeastend.com

Speaking For The Other Side By Kitty Merrill

At last, comments from the other side of the argument. For years, members of the Springs community have urged the East Hampton Town Board to get tough with enforcing quality of life concerns in the hamlet. One resident in particular, David Buda, approaches the board at nearly every opportunity, often bringing pictures of supposed code violators to illustrate his viewpoint. Last week his request, during a hearing on next year’s proposed budget, for more staff in the ordinance department prompted comments from one family that’s been singled out as accused violators. “My house has been exposed to pictures, to assumptions,” Roslen Tavera said. She and her husband Walter Quiroz have had a landscape company for 17 years. They’re citizens and have “complied with everything,” she said. It’s not fair, that someone can take pictures of her property and show them at televised town board meetings, she said. “I have a 20 year old daughter,” Tavera informed. How does she

know pictures aren’t being taken of the young woman through the window? The family has stopped using their pool out of discomfort. Buda has used photos of select properties to support proposed regulations regarding the parking of commercial vehicles on residential properties. As town officials have debated the adoption of legislation prohibiting the parking of large trucks on residential land, it’s been repeatedly suggested that people who operate businesses from their homes find other, commercially zoned land for the parking of their trucks. Tavera informed the board that she’s been on a waiting list for such a place for two years. “I personally believe our community should go back to being a community instead of a police state,“ Councilwoman Theresa Quigley asserted. The proposed legislation prompted a call for a business needs study, which has just begun. Quigley said the earliest data reveals 60 percent of the businesses in town work out of their homes. “If we say take your equipment and leave, 60 percent of our financial

community is out of work . . . That’s not acceptable to me,” she continued. Although board members haven’t tried to stop Buda from showing pictures of private properties during his many presentations, Quigley said she finds it “reprehensible” when residents are accused and pictures of their homes are “brought in here for a Kangaroo Court.” Supervisor Bill Wilkinson thanked Tavera and Quiroz for speaking to the board and offering another side of the story. He encouraged them to notify the police if they find anyone

trespassing on their property and taking pictures. The supervisor told Buda that throughout a 35-year career in the private sector that focused on staffing, he’d never seen a correlation between manpower and performance. It’s “totally untrue” that increased staffing improves performance, he asserted.

Real Estate Report: Trending Upwards

By Rick Murphy

It’s not the meteor it once was, but the real estate market, like a turtle, is slowly making its way to where it wants to go. According to an analysis of third quarter sales by Suffolk Research Services, the East End market shows “a healthy trend of recovery in unit sales and dollar sales.” But, noted George R. Simpson, the president of the firm, Median Prices for single-family homes are trending downwards. Looking at the entire East End market, the Median Price when compared to the same quarter a year early dipped to $639,000 from $665,000. But third quarter Unit Sales increased in all five towns and third quarter Dollar Sales, $1.025 million were the highest since 2007. In Southampton Town, sales increased by 27.6 percent but the Median Price dipped 13.3 percent to $780,000. In East Hampton, third quarter Dollar Sales increased by a robust $31.8 percent and the Median Price fell by 6.3 percent to $895,000. There was a surge of activity in Riverhead Town in the third quarter. Unit Sales leaped from 88 to 122, the Median Price coming in at $350,000, about the same as in the third quarter of 2012. Southold Town also experienced a jump in Unit Sales, from 104 to 127, but realized a 10.6 percent decrease in Median Price, to $429,000. There were 22 units sold in Shelter Island Town at a Median Price of $760,000. Experts point out an increase in sales means a corresponding decrease in inventory, usually a prelude to increased asking prices. There were a fair amount of big ticket sales. In Bridgehampton, a

★

tract of land on 322 Ocean Road sold for $25 million. There is a fivelot subdivision planned, according to Southampton Town filings. An estate at 143 Mid Ocean Drive sold for $13.5 million. An oceanfront estate at 52 Further Lane in East Hampton transferred for $62.5 million, $2.5 million more than the asking price. The buyer, according to published reports, was SAC Capital Advisors founder Steven Cohen. In East Hampton Village the property on Hither Lane known as Chateau Amorois sold, along with the adjacent property at 69 Middle Lane, for $22.95 million. Nineteen Windmill Lane transferred for $12.3 million – it’s almost 1.5 acres with direct access to the ocean. In Sagaponack, 58 Hedges Lane sold for $15.3 million, $695,000 less than the latest asking price but more then $2 million less than the original asking price – it was sold by financier Andrew Rosengard, according to Curbed Hamptons. A mansion on one of Southampton’s most prestigious streets sold for $10,25 million. The property, at 283 Gin Lane, was once owned by Arthur O. Sulzberger. According to the National Association of Realtors sales are still sluggish on a national level. Pending Home Sales, a leading indicator, declined for the fourth consecutive month in September, as higher mortgage interest rates and higher home prices curbed buying power. It fell 5.6 percent to 101.6 in September from a downwardly revised 107.6 in August, and is 1.2 percent below September 2012 when it was 102.8. The index is at the lowest level since December 2012 when it was 101.3; the data reflects contracts but not closings.

Generating Board Sympathy By Kitty Merrill

They flee horrific circumstances, finding refuge in the shelter. And when the lights go out, residents of The Retreat’s domestic violence shelter have much more to worry about than the average person wondering how to cook food or heat his house for a night. Every time the electricity goes out, security at the shelter is “dangerously compromised” for each woman “wearing a target on her back,” shelter director Minerva Perez told the East Hampton Town Board last Thursday night. Shelter residents can’t go to typical storm shelters during power outages because of the danger it poses. The shelter needs a $35,000 generator to make sure security cameras and the electronic gate, plus the emergency hotline stay in service during electrical outages. The trouble is, Perez told the town board, county officials administering Federal Community Development Block Grants say such a system is not eligible for funding. Adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1974, the CDBG program provides financial resources to communities

to address an array of needs. East Hampton is slated to receive over $100K, subject to Congressional approval. In the past the grants have been used for such projects as new bathrooms or kitchen cabinets at the Windmill Village Housing complex. By law, each year the town board holds a public hearing about the program, bringing an array of representatives from social services agencies to the podium with requests. Following Perez’ entreaty,

Councilwoman Theresa Quigley suggested involved attorneys use “tactical reasoning” to argue for including the generators. “I think that argument should be hard fought,” she said. Tom Ruhle, the town’s director of housing, said he’s not taking ‘No’ for an answer and plans to make the case directly to HUD officials. In addition to The Retreat, Windmill Village and the new St. Michael’s senior housing projects have asked for generators, too. Seniors in those complexes need back up systems

during power outages as well, he said. The Suffolk County Community Development Office administers the CDBG program. Officials there determined that generators don’t meet the criteria for the federal funding. Eligible activities include housing rehabilitation, elimination of physical barriers to the handicapped, and neighborhood improvement programs. According to the HUD website, “The CDBG program works to ensure decent affordable housing, to provide services to the most vulnerable in our communities, and to create jobs through the expansion and retention of businesses.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

RICK’S SPACE The Left Of Way

I remember when I was 15 or so, the most important thing in my life -- bar none -- was securing my driver’s license. Actually, girls were also very important, but so was the realization that if I had a car scoring babes would become all the easier. By this time baseball, which had been my all-consuming interest, was beginning to pale in comparison, probably because the realization that I wasn’t going to make the Major Leagues was beginning to

sink in. Hell, I was only about fivetwo, not even big enough to be the bat boy, and other hairy guys on our Babe Ruth League team were already growing beards, standing six-foot tall, and chawing tobacco (I did spit and grab my crotch well, though.) We studied the pamphlet from the Department of Motor Vehicles for weeks before making the long, nervous ride to Riverhead to take the DMV permit test.

None of us had our own cars in those days – we were lucky if our parents had one, and if they did maybe they let us use it once in a while. Nowadays you drive by the high school and see dozens of cars. In those days the only guys that had cars were the “Greasers” – 21 year-olds who had been left back three times. They bought junk cars and then fixed them up using the lunch money they stole from the rest of us. They would drive down Main Street in Sag Harbor, circle around the flagpole and back up, circle around the flowerpot that was there, and repeat the route over and over again. They called it “the Main Street Cycle.” We would practice our hand signals over and over – remember them? It was a real pain, especially in a blizzard, but it was mandatory that we learn them. That was a long time ago – nowadays, of course, cars have blinkers. But has anyone besides me noticed that a lot of people around here don’t use them anymore? What’s up with that? It used to be that the crappy drivers were exclusively women, but the gender barrier has been breached, and now you never know what tardo will forget his or her vehicle is equipped with signal lights. Ever go to make a right turn and the cars coming from the opposite direction makes a left in front of you without signaling? The working DMV rule is the driver on the right has the (DUH!) Right of Way. They don’t call it the Left of Way. Then there are the people from the city who still don’t know you can turn right at a light everywhere

else on earth. If you’re behind them and beep they get angry and make hand gestures that mean in Italian at least, that you should do vile things to yourself. Talk about hand signals. You could get your “senior” license when you were 18, or 17 if you took and passed a Driver’s Ed course. We all did, of course, because that meant we could go to the drive-in movie and make out. Sometimes we’d even have a date. If your car had an AM radio you were lucky. Even if it did, there weren’t any channels to tune into out in these parts. We’d listen to WABC out of New York, and the static would be louder than the music. Mostly, of course, we tried to pick up girls. I expanded the boring Main Street cycle. Instead, we would drive a loop through Sag Harbor, North Haven, and Noyac, going by the house of every pretty girl we knew. We called it the “Menstrual Cycle” – it took about 28 minutes assuming you didn’t actually see a girl, which was most often the case. Once in a while, though, we would see a pretty face walking, stop, and ask her if she needed a ride. Most of them, at least the ones with teeth, would see five lathered up goofs crowded in the back seat and wisely say no. Nowadays the technology in automobiles is frightening. They have back-up cameras – they have “lane departure alerts” – they even have “collision avoidance systems” which would have come in handy 40 or 50 years ago. Had I gone into the business of automobile technology I probably would have invented stuff like a “Babe Detection System” which would pick up the scent of an attractive gal and send turn-by-turn navigational directions. To get back to the present day – do you wonder why, with all the safety features autos have these days, like air bags, antilock brakes, and so on, that there seems to be more serious accidents around here then there were then? It’s partially because drivers have more things to distract them. There is one simple thing we can all do to make this a better place to live, though – use your freaking blinkers, stupid.

A sincere thank you to all of my supporters for voting for me for Southampton Town Supervisor!

EDITORIAL

Winner: Anna Throne-Holst: The Southampton Town Supe not only thrashed her archrival Linda Kabot handily, she gained control of the town board and became the poster girl for the Independence Party. And the Ice Maiden never broke a sweat despite six grueling weeks of what turned into a nasty campaign. Loser: The Southampton Conservative Party: Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. First, the party – reportedly at the urging of Ed Walsh Jr., the Suffolk County Chairman, flirted with Throne-Holst, who is anything but a Conservative. Then town party boss Jim Malone got out maneuvered not once but twice by Kabot, who ended up as the party’s nominee despite the fact Walsh and Malone conspired to keep her off the ticket. Then Malone talked Phil Keith, a good man, into staging a write-in against Kabot, to no avail. Then the party alleged fraud against Kabot, and that went nowhere. Then Keith endorsed Throne-Holst out of spite. All the nonsense cost Kabot a couple hundred votes, not enough to matter, and sullied the reputation of Keith forever. Meanwhile, not only has the Independence Party usurped the Conservatives, but the Working Families Party is nipping at its heels. Malone was a disaster as a town board member, working full time on another job though he promised he would quit it if elected. Once, Malone was spotted in East Hampton Justice Court defending a relative of Walsh during an important town board

tactics from the opposition, my grassroots campaign remained focused on the truth, calling for more responsive government based on a platform addressing the important challenges facing the Town. For me, this race was all about demonstrating my commitment to the ideals of good government and truly representing the needs of the everyday people who live and work here. Please also accept my heartfelt gratitude for your kind words and expression of thanks for my past public service as Supervisor and Councilwoman. I also appreciate all the good wishes for my family! I could not have accomplished all that I have for the good people of Southampton Town over the years and during this campaign without the love and support of my husband Lance and my sons Jeff, Zack, and Connor. I want to applaud all of the candidates for their courage and for the stamina needed to run for public office. It is not easy to put yourself out there, given the intensity of the schedule and all of the political drama that comes with running

meeting – so he was playing hooky from both his jobs. As one town board member said privately, the only time Malone showed up at town hall was when there was a photo op. Southampton taxpayers deserved better, and so do Southampton conservatives. Kabot will be fine but Malone’s credibility is shot and he and Walsh should step down as party bosses – they betrayed those they were supposed to serve. Winner: Springs. The conventional wisdom was either Fred Overton or Kathee Burke-Gonzalez would join Job Potter on the 2014 East Hampton Town Board. Instead, both Springs residents won. Springs has now surpassed Montauk as the most important voting block in town, and future candidates will have to make sure the voters are heard – in this case, code enforcement was the hot button. Hopefully, the town board and newly elected Supervisor Larry Cantwell heard it loud and clear – it’s time to clean up Springs once and for all. Loser: Riverhead Town Democratic Party: We tried for several weeks to get a hold of the Supervisor candidate, Angela DeVito. The email on the party site didn’t work. The answering machine cut off in the middle of the message. The party chairman either didn’t return our calls or called from a cellphone that didn’t work well. No, we weren’t trying to sell her ads – we were offering to do a profile, with a photo and an essay written by the candidate explaining why she was the best choice for the job. DeVito, predictably, got trounced by the incumbent, Sean Walter. We never did hear from her. a campaign. Thank you to all of you for stepping up to offer your candidacy and providing a choice to the voters for the 2013 election. May those who have been elected to serve in local government do so with honesty, integrity, and strength of character, being ever mindful of our community’s best interests. LINDA KABOT

Pleasure To Serve Dear Rick, I want to thank the voters of East Hampton for electing me to be their next Town Justice. I also want to thank The Independent for its endorsement for this position. It is an honor to be taking the seat held by Justice Cathy Cahill. Judge Cahill has served the Town of East Hampton for the past twenty years, and has set a very high standard of excellence and professionalism. It will also be a pleasure to serve along side incumbent Town Justice Lisa Rana, who has served for the

past 10 years with distinction. I am very grateful for this opportunity to serve the public in this role. STEVEN TEKULSKY

In Real Time To the Editor, This letter is in response to the recent editorial in The Independent which criticizes two alleged debate practices: giving candidates questions ahead of time and having a large group of audience members asking pre-planned, skewed questions. Your editorial states: “The League of Women Voters approve questions to be asked in advance . . .” The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons agrees that candidates need to respond in “real time” as you state. Our questions, therefore are never given to the candidates beforehand, nor could they be since they are chosen at the time of the debate itself. Continued on Page 16.

Do you think global warming contributed to the severity of the recent Typhoon in the Philippines? Marie King Oh, I think so, absolutely. It was such a horrific storm, so extreme. Two-hundred mile an hour winds! That’s never been recorded before. It’s the worst storm I’ve ever heard of in my lifetime. So many people lost their lives or are left with absolutely nothing. Lisa Greenberg I think it’s related. The weather’s been so extreme. The sky’s been on fire at night with such dramatic sunsets. You wonder what’s going on. That Typhoon was terrifying. And terrifying to think if a storm of that strength happened here, where we live on an island. Annette Wright I think that it’s just nature’s way. Nature is so wild and so unpredictable. And God has his way of doing things that we may never understand. I don’t think it’s global warming. But I know that many people have their own views that it is. Angelica Weiner It could definitely be partly due to global warming. I tend to believe that it is. But I’m not a scientist. It was the only storm of it’s kind to have ever happened on this planet. I can’t even imagine winds that are 200 miles per hour.

Editor’s Note: Thank you for the clarification. But why does the public have to be vetted? Our point was people should be allowed to ask any questions they want.

To the Editor, Another fine and funny column by Jerry Della Femina, spoiled by a gratuitous and false comment about the TEA Party. TEA goons? Please! Name the TEA Party events or individuals that act like goons. SEIU and Occupy, yes, with their violence, trash and disrespect of our country, but not TEA Party events.

JUST ASKING

Continued from page 15. As for approving questions in advance, the League during the debate, i.e. “in real time,” asks the audience to submit questions and a panel vets those questions to avoid repetition, to select ones with more general interest and rarely to simplify or clarify. There are three sources of the questions at a League debate: the audience, the League and invited media members. The media representatives come with their own questions which the League has no knowledge of prior to the event and only confer “in real time” with other panel members so that each asks different ones, reflecting the vetting standards. This has been the practice of the League for at least 10 years. We regret the fact that the representative of The Independent misunderstood these practices and, as a result, declined to participate in our important, respected and well-attended debates.

advocates for liberty; try attending a few of our events instead of reading the New York City newspapers. These swipes at the TEA Party are totally unjustified. This disinformation campaign belies the facts, the great work we do in our communities, and helping to remind the populace of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Indeed, a recent poll of Independent voters shows they are becoming more conservative and support the TEA Party by a wide margin. Why are newspapers and TV news at all time lows? Are we enlightening too many that the media can’t control? As head of our local TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party, I ask you, Mr. Della Femina, to reassess your opinion, based on our record - not the ongoing media smear, whose chorus you seem to have joined. LYNDA A. W. EDWARDS

A Referendum? To the Editor, In his bid for reelection to the Town Board, Councilman Dominick Stanzione’s profound defeat at the polls last Tuesday was, in effect, a referendum by the voters of the Town of East Hampton on aircraft noise policy. The message was loud and clear: the public wants the Town to run an airport

that ensures the safety of airport users while it simultaneously respects the noise impacts of those airport users on East End residents, properties, and ecosystems. In spite of critics claims to the contrary, these are not mutually exclusive goals! East Hampton Town Board can legally control noise by setting reasonable business hours and curfews, limiting numbers of flights in a given time period, and completely excluding some of the noisiest aircraft – but, only if the Town Board stops taking Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant money. The Town currently has contractual obligations to the FAA, which expire on December 31, 2014. Then, the Town of East Hampton, as owner and operator of this airport will be able to act and the town will be able to operate a safe and quiet airport paid for by airport users. The voters have spoken. Let the outgoing town board continue to hear the message of the Quiet Skies Coalition and let the newly elected members embrace this message as well. KATHLEEN CUNNINGHAM Editor’s Note: With all due respect the airport was not a major issue with most voters. The candidates told us taxes, illegal apartments, litter, and traffic were among the issues that would-be voters brought up the most.

Adoptable Pets At Kent Kent Animal Shelter’s “Back in Black” promotion is in full swing, with three black beauties adopted already and an event added this month. The promotion is to highlight adoptable black dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that are too often overlooked. It is part of a promotion across the United States being supported by national animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society. Two adult cats and one dog at Kent Animal Shelter have found forever homes so far this month thanks to the spotlight on them. Black Jack was taken to Kent Animal Shelter as a tiny kitten with a severe eye deformity, but his new adopter

didn’t mind his disability and loves him all the same. Madonna is a two-year-old cat, and although she’s a beauty, she’s not the kitten that people tend to prefer. Widget is a six-month-old puppy who traveled all the way from the Turks and Caicos where she was a stray who had to fend for herself . . . here in New York she found her forever family! Adoption fees for black animals are 50 percent off during November as part of this promotion. On Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM black pets will be adopted out to good homes for whatever donation is offered. To meet Kent’s ebony charmers visit www. KentAnimalShelter.com. Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road.

East Hampton High School Two theatrical events are in the making – the Drama Club’s staged reading of Spoon River Anthology, which will be performed on December 10 and 11, and this year’s high school musical, Once Upon A Mattress, with performances in the spring. High school parent-teacher conferences are this week on Wednesday and Thursday. Principal Adam Fine will hold his monthly breakfast with parents next Wednesday at 8 AM in the high school library. Parents are free to bring a brown bag breakfast and participate. East Hampton Middle School The student government has reported that middle schoolers raised $386.07 from their Halloween Costumes-for-a-Cause fundraiser. This money will be used to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for local families in need, part of a student government collaborative with Bonac on Board to Wellness, and students will assemble food baskets for families on the day before Thanksgiving break. November 21 at 9:30 AM. At this meeting, a panel of our middle school staff members — guidance, psychology, social work and health — will discuss their roles in helping kids learn about healthy behaviors, and what how they react when students make poor choices. John M. Marshall Elementary Parents check those backpacks on Friday -- report cards should be in there somewhere. Parent teacher conferences begin Tuesday and run through November 25. This month also marks the Activities Club “food drive for hunger.” Students are asked to

In fact, the move would overturn current zoning on the property, which allows for affordable housing. Overby looked

askance at the idea of changing the town zoning code “based on somebody else asking for it.” “What does that have to do with anything?” Supervisor Bill Wilkinson snapped. “Intellectually, I don’t understand your objection.” The town has drafted many laws, “which were messed up and wrong and filled with errors,” Councilwoman Theresa Quigley asserted. “The fact that someone else drafted this, I don’t have a problem with it.” It isn’t relevant to her whether the public asked for the move or not, she said. Both Quigley and Wilkinson claimed the proposals had been aired in public sessions, demonstrating an apparent lack of understanding of the difference between presentation by an applicant and a discussion amongst elected officials. The proposals weren’t on the agenda posted online for the public to see, Van Scoyoc continued. “The public’s hearing about it now,” Wilkinson said. He dismissed Overby’s mention of the process generally followed for such initiatives. Councilman Dominick Stanzione remained silent throughout the discussion, then voted with fellow Republicans to have the hearings. Hearings on both proposals are scheduled for December 19. That’s this administration’s last meeting. If an effort is underway to enable the Putnam project, it’s possible the Republican majority will try to push for a vote the very same night as the hearing. Whether such a move will stand up legally is something Supervisor-elect Larry Cantwell is investigating. “I’m disappointed the board feels the need to upzone properties at the last minute,” he said Friday. In addition to the Putnam measure, the GOP majority voted to hold hearings on two additional zone changes. “None of those have my support,” Cantwell said. The majority may vote to adopt the new zoning designation on December 19, but it doesn’t become law until it’s filed with the state, which can take two to three weeks, creating a timeframe that bleeds into January, when a new majority takes the helm at town hall. Cantwell said there’s “a distinct possibility” he and his Democratic board could repeal the Wilkinson administration’s eleventh hour zone changes. “It’s troubling that the majority would try to jam these things through,” Cantwell offered. “It just stinks.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Pierson Field Hockey Heads To Final Four By Rick Murphy

The Pierson/Bridgehampton Lady Whalers field hockey team has been on a mission all season, and the goal is now firmly within their grasp. The locals survived two intense, hard fought games in the course of four days to move into the State Class C semifinals. Last Wednesday the Whalers got past a tough Carle Place team 3-2 to win the Long Island Class C championship. That game proved to be just a prelude to Saturday’s epic battle against Pawling, played at White Plains with the Southeast Regional title on the line. It took two overtime periods, and still the two teams were stalemated, neither able to score. Then Pierson’s All Everything senior Kasey Gilbride broke free, raced down the field,

and fired a no-look cross pass to Katherine Matthers, who drilled it home to end the nail biter with 5:36 left in the second overtime. It was familiar territory for M a tthe rs, a ls o a s enio r a nd candidate for the All Long Island all-star team. She tallied the game winner against Carle Place as well, scoring from the left corner past goalie Catie Dickinson. Gilbride tallied two goals in that fray, and assisted on the winning goal as well. A week earlier Pierson upended archrival Southampton to take the Suffolk County title. The Whalers, now 14-4, will play Whitney Point (14-4) at 1:30 PM Saturday. The game will take place at the Cicero/North Syracuse High School field. Barker (16-10) plays Cazenovia

(15-4-1) in the other semifinal. A Pierson versus Cazenovia final would provide the locals a chance for redemption. In 2010, when Matthers and Gilbride were

freshman, the Whalers lost to that rival with the state title on the line -- in overtime, no less. The championship game is slated for Sunday at 12:30 PM.

Blue Waves Advance

By Rick Murphy

Riverhead wore down a stubborn Half Hollow Hills West team Saturday, 44-21. The victory allows the locals to move into the semifinals in the County Division II football tournament. Hills, the number eight seed, managed to hang with powerful Riverhead, the top seed, through a 21-14 first half. Quarterback Kim Simco scored from one yard out after a six-minute drive to open the second half, and after HHHW closed to within six points, the Wave scored the last 19 points of the fray. The critical play came early in the fourth, when Simco hooked up with Mike Van Brommel for a three-yard

touchdown strike. The Riverhead defense then stepped up, forcing a safety. As is almost always the case with Riverhead, Jeremiah Cheatom allowed the team to play keep away for long stretches with his power running. He proved a real workhorse in this affair, logging 39 carries good for 166 yards and a touchdown. The win gave Riverhead an 8-1 mark for the season and dropped the losers to 5-4. Next up is the semifinal game against Newfield (6-3) Saturday at home. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM. Riverhead is seeking its third consecutive Suffolk County title.

FANTASY SP By Skippy Brown

RTS

He’s Not Just One Guy

When Peyton Manning went down clutching his leg Sunday night the Fantasy implications went well beyond the quarterback. As of this writing the extent of his injury is not known – he was taking an MRI while this column was being written. But make no mistake about it, if Manning misses any games it will impact a lot of team owners, not just the ones that have Manning. Manning is throwing touchdowns at a record-breaking clip. He is so good that all three of his primary receivers are among the upper echelon of Fantasy performers – Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas and Eric don Decker. They will take a huge hit in value if Manning isn’t able to play. Julius Thomas is one of the league’s top-ranked Fantasy tight ends – he, too, would see his production plummet should Manning have to take a seat. There’s more: Knowshon Moreno, the running back, is having a breakout season. Yes, he’s good, but he gets a lot of yards on the ground because defenses have to guard against Manning’s passes.

New Flavor To Big East Hoops

For many Big East basketball fans, the past year has, understandably, been depressing. The conference that was built on hoops, was destroyed by the pigskin. Syracuse and Pittsburgh chased football dollars to the ACC. Notre Dame and Louisville followed suit. Meantime, UConn is stuck in the American Athletic Conference, stalling until finding a new and more prosperous home. Great basketball rivalries such as GeorgetownSyracuse, Syracuse-UConn, and Villanova-Pittsburgh are dead. But, as the Big East embarks on a new journey, there is plenty to look forward to. First off, it is important to remember how conference realignment could have been a much bigger disaster for the Big East. There were rumors that the ACC would take over Madison Square Garden for their conference

tournament. Also, many predicted the Big East would disintegrate and those left over would all be looking for a new home. But, with the additions of Xavier, Creighton and Butler, combined with hold overs Georgetown, Villanova, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Providence, Marquette and Depaul, the conference is back to what it was founded as in 1979: a basketball conference. All the schools prioritize basketball over every other sport. Additionally, the Big East will get more television time than it used to. Fox agreed to a 12-year deal, which includes airing 108 Big East games on Fox Sports 1 this season. To put that in perspective, that is more games than ESPN airs of the NBA each season. For a 10-team league mostly focused on smaller Catholic schools in the northeast, that is an

incredible boost nationally. Also, CBS and CBS Sports Network bought in to a sub-licensing deal to air 20 Big East games. These TV deals have the ability to give the conference immediate respect. Fans and media members will be able to catch a Big East game on just about any night of the week this winter. The quality competition should help boost the conference’s stature nationally. On the court, East End Big East fans will enjoy two familiar faces atop the conference in Marquette and Georgetown. The Golden Eagles will rely on frontcourt partners Davante Gardner and Jamil Wilson. Georgetown lost All-American Otto Porter, and will need guards Markel Starks and Jabril Trawick to flourish, along with UCLA transfer Josh Smith. Big East fans likely have little affiliation with Creighton, who comes from the Missouri Valley Conference. But the Bluejays can absolutely win the conference behind All-American returnee Doug McDermott and guard Grant Gibbs. Elsewhere, Villanova returns four starters from an NCAA Tournament team, and Xavier has arguably the best NBA-prospect in the conference with point guard Semaj Christon. Locally, St. John’s might have the

most talented roster in the conference. A top-20 freshman, Rysheed Jordan, joins returnees D’Angelo Harrison and 2012-13 Big East Rookie of the Year JaKarr Sampson. The Red Storm returns their top five scorers from last season. Last year, St. John’s led the nation in blocked shots per game at 7.3. But, they were 338th in the nation in three pointers made per game at 3.6. The pressure could be on Jordan to open up the floor for shooters and find the open man. Those of us who are Big East fans will undoubtedly need an adjustment period as we watch the new conference unfold. Rivalries are never developed overnight. They take years of different games and various scenarios to develop. St. John’s fans won’t have the same juice watching the Red Storm play Xavier as they would Syracuse. But, with massive TV deals, and a conference that has 10 Universities, all with the same priorities, the new Big East is off to a great start . . . we just need to give it a chance.
