SOME SILLY QUESTIONS FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY UNDERGROUND • Is it safe to come out yet?

• Can you believe there are still Republicans who believe Romney lost because he wasn’t conservative enough?

• Has anyone seen Donald Trump?

• Did we Republicans really think we could tell Latinos that we were going to round them up and throw them and their children out of the country unless they “self-deported,” but while they were here would they be nice enough to vote for and help elect a Republican president?

• Is it true that the Tea Party is trying to have Marco Rubio deported under their “The only good Latino is a deported Latino” manifesto?

• Would anyone like to buy some “Rick Santorum in 2016” buttons?

• In 2016, if David Petraeus goes on television, looks into the camera,

bites his lip and says, “I did not have sex with that woman, Paula Broadwell,” do you think he can get the Republican nomination for president? Or does that only work for Democrats?

• Would anyone like to buy some “Rick Perry in 2016” T-shirts?

• How far up their a--es are some ultra-conservative Republican heads, if they have already started to knock Chris Christie, the only candidate we Republicans really have in 2016? Christie chose to do his job as Governor and concentrate on the people of his state who were hurting. And yes, he said “Thank you” to Obama when he came to help New Jersey. Since when are good manners a political liability?

• Have you heard my plan to save the Republican Party in 2016?

HAS YOUR HEATING, HOT WATER OR WELL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT BEEN EXPOSED TO WATER? Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) equipment, such as a furnace, boiler or hot water heater, can be danaged extensively if it is exposed to water. The amount of damage will depend partly on the exposure and the amount of time the equipment remains under water. Often, the damage is so great that the only solution is replacement. This would be the time to consider energy efficient, cost saving, upgraded equipment.

Here’s how it works: We have a sharpshooter following every Republican candidate. The minute any old white guy Republican candidate starts to give his views on rape, the sharpshooter is authorized to shoot the old white guy in the head.

• Would anyone be interested in buying some “Newt Gingrich in 2016” balloons?

• Have you heard the old joke which is the basis of my plan to survive the next four years by taking advantage of the Obama system? Here it is: A couple, both well into their 30s, go to a sex therapist’s office.

The doctor asks, “What can I do for you?”

The man says, “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse? We need your feedback!”

The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is also amazed that the couple is asking for sexual advice, so he agrees.

When the couple finishes, the doctor says, “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.”

He thanks them for coming, wishes them good luck, charges them $50 and says good-bye.

The next week, however, the same couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.

This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leaves.

Finally, after five or six weeks of this routine, the doctor says, “I’m sorry, but I have to ask. Just what

IN THE NEWS

are you trying to find out?”

The man says, “We’re not trying to find out anything. She’s married, and we can’t go to her house. I’m married, and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $125 a day for a room. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50, and . . . I get $43 back from ObamaCare.”

• If I knew what was going to happen (Jerry’s Ink, June 2011) when I wrote this, why am I so depressed?

“Let me say there is no way Obama won’t be re-elected in 2012.

You can take that to the bank.

“Obama already has New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Michigan and probably Ohio in his pocket.

“Let’s add up the votes.

“Obama will get 99 percent of the black vote. Liberals and Democrats will tell us this is ‘acceptable’ racism. The only black person who will vote against Obama in 2012 is Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Obama will win the vast majority of the Latino vote and that’s OK because Republicans have shot themselves in the foot on immigration. The Latino vote will win Obama the swing state of Florida. The only chance Romney has in Florida is to run with a Latino vice president. His choices are Marco Rubio or Jennifer Lopez.

I say he should go with Lopez.

“Obama will get 100 percent of the Liberal vote. Liberals will moan and groan about broken promises and still pull the lever for him.

Liberals love feeling like victims.

“Obama will get the union vote.

Forget what happened in Wisconsin.

Think of the unions in Ohio and Michigan pushing for more Obama freebies.

“Obama will get the gay vote.

“Obama will be endorsed by 95 percent of the media.

“And finally we come to the Democrats.

“Let me first state that some of my best friends are Democrats.

They are political zombies. They keep coming. They never cross party lines. They will vote Obama back in no matter what shape the economy is in.”

• NOTE: Mitt Romney is a good man. He would have made a great President. But in this day and age no candidate can be elected when he has ultra-conservative Republicans dragging him down by his shoulders while Democrats nip at his heels.

Something has to change or we’ll never win another election.

New Parrish Gets Big Welcome

Independent/Jessica Mackin

By Emily Toy and Jessica Mackin

Thousands of people both young and old gathered in Water Mill for the opening of the new Parrish Art Museum on Montauk Highway this past weekend.

Parents, children, residents and tourists came out to feast their eyes on the 14-acre parcel of land with a 34,000 square foot museum housing thousands of paintings, sculptures and multi-media artwork.

Construction on the project began in July 2010 and this weekend was the museum’s big debut in the community. Several exhibitions are on display in the galleries and a new cafe is serving food and drinks.

Friday and Saturday hosted live entertainment in the Lichtenstein Theater with the legendary Joshua Light Show, a musical tribute to Charles Burchfield by Nell Shaw Cohen, and a performance by the band Gray. On Sunday the museum hosted its annual Fall Family Festival, where children enjoyed face painting and arts and crafts.

This weekend saw nearly 5000 people walking within the horizontal, Herzon & de Meuron designed structure, consisting of two parallel wings joined by a central circulation spine running the length of the building.

The new space offers 4600 square feet for special exhibitions, with 7600 square feet dedicated to the museum’s permanent collection.

The latter is composed of 2600 works dating back to the 19th century, with some of the pieces never shown on museum walls

due to space constraints of the old Jobs Lane facility (which had about a third of the exhibition space of the new museum). And now, with the museum heading into its 115th year, that’s all about to change.

The new Parrish is the first art museum built on the East End in over a century, with a budget of $26.2 million, according to a press release from the museum.

“This is going to be a center for cultural engagement of all kinds,” said Andrea Grover, Curator of Programs.

The new museum holds 12,200 square feet of exhibition space, a 200-person theatre, and nearly a dozen galleries for exhibitions, broken down into 500, 1000, 2000, and 2500 square foot increments.

This will allow for the display of intimate as well as large exhibitions.

The poured-in-place concrete walls are deeply recessed under a long, white corrugated metal roof, incorporating large sections of glass permitting views through the museum and into the surrounding landscape.

The outside portion of the 14-acre property will include

indigenous plantings and tall grass for both the north side and south side “meadows,” according to Anke tom Dieck Jackson, the museum’s Deputy Director.

“There’s a great efficiency to the way in which it’s built,” said Jackson. “It was really about building a functional space.”

Jackson also explained the building is oriented to the north, taking advantage of the light and evoking the notion of the artist’s studio, where the conditions were the same as when the work was created.

“It’s quite extraordinary to see it filled with people now,” Jackson said. “This is truly a wonderful moment for us.”

The opening exhibition “Malcolm Morley: Painting, Paper, Process” will be on view through January 13. Morley has maintained a house and studio on eastern Long Island since 1983. The exhibit features the artist’s working method of paper mediums, including watercolor, lithography, etching and monotype.

The Parrish Art Museum will be open five days a week from 11 AM to 6 PM, and from 11 AM to 9 PM on Fridays. Closed on Tuesdays.

More Turmoil For Southampton Town Police

By Rick Murphy

Though Southampton Town officials are publicly adamant that the resignation of Police Chief Bill Wilson and the return of Lieutenant James Kiernan to active duty are unrelated, there is rampant speculation the two are very much tied together.

Kiernan was reinstated after a six-month suspension. “The Kiernan disciplinary case was settled with a plea agreement that was acceptable to all parties and was approved by the Town Board,” said Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst on Monday. The two sides agreed on a “fair penalty,” she added. The supervisor said since the agreement is a personnel matter, it is being kept confidential.

The town board suspended Kiernan last May following a recommendation from Wilson. Kiernan, the head of the since disbanded Street Crimes Unit, stood accused of letting a rogue police officer work undercover though he had a drug problem. The officer, Eric Sickles, has since been suspended.

The repercussions of the scandal have been massive, and could result in Southampton taxpayers being on the hook for millions of dollars worth of damages.

The Suffolk County District Attorney freed two convicted felons from prison because their arrests and convictions were tainted. Both have sued the town, and the DA acknowledged more cases are likely to be dismissed.

“Personally I find it extremely disappointing,” said Councilwomen Christine Scalera of Wilson’s sudden resignation. “This is one of the worst times in history [for the department].

At a time like this you look to the chief for leadership.”

Wilson has been a source of controversy in his own right. The town board hired him in May 2011, taking the rare step of going outside the department – Wilson was the Southampton Village Police Chief at the time. It didn’t take long for the marriage to turn rocky.

Some members of the public and police force were angered the inhouse candidate, Anthony Tenaglia, was passed over. Wilson was later criticized for running up overtime costs, and later for criticizing staffing levels in the department.

Rumors then leaked that the town board were talking to Wilson about retiring: Wilson said last spring he was approached about taking a retirement package on two occasions. But Councilman Chris Nuzzi told The Independent in May the opposite scenario occurred. “He made that up,” Nuzzi countered. “He

approached us.”

Nuzzi said at the time there was no correlation between the Kiernan case and the call for Wilson to retire.

Initially Wilson was credited with asking the County DA to investigate the department shortly after he took over. The DA has since seized boxes of records and is in the midst of an investigation.

Throne-Holst said this week the town board will review “a list limited to officers with the rank of Captain or above within the Town’s jurisdiction

and as permitted by Civil Service law” with an eye on choosing a new chief.

Meanwhile, the town is bracing for the conclusion of the DA’s investigation. Insiders expect more lawsuits from individuals who were arrested by the Street Crimes Unit, which at this point has been completely discredited.

The town is woefully unprepared to defend itself without asking taxpayers for more money – there is $450,000 in the budget for outside

November 14, 2012

council, and every individual named in any suit can demand the town pay for his or her attorney.

Throne-Holst would not speculate about Wilson’s reasons for leaving his post. “As far as the matter of Chief Wilson’s decision to retire, I feel it is our job and duty as the elected leaders of our town to concentrate our efforts on supporting a smooth and productive transition,” she said.

Scalera said Wilson never officially notified the town board of his intention to resign, “There was meaningful communication with the board. I hate to say it but I heard about it from the press.”

Locals See Devastation Up Close Local firefighters and other volunteers took a convoy of supplies to the ravished Rockaways Saturday and left stunned at the carnage wrought by Hurricane Sandy.

“Absolute devastation,” reported John Claflin, the chief of the Springs Fire Department. “I didn’t see Katrina

but I imagine it was like this.”

Claflin, Fist Assistant Chief Ben Miller, Chris Harmon, Tim Weber and Dawn Green led the Springs contingent. They met up with Montauk and Amagansett firefighters and headed west. A police escort allowed the seven vehicles to reach the Rockaways.

“The ocean went right through to the bay,” Claflin said. “One house caught fire and the whole block went up – the fire department couldn’t get there to help them.”

“It’s something you never forget,” said Harmon, who drove his own panel truck in. The volunteers brought about $10,000 of goods

donated by local businesses.

Lowe’s in Riverhead gave them two brand new chain saws and cleaning supplies worth over $1200, Claflin noted. Wal-Mart, “opened their doors to us,” Harmon said.

One Source Tool in Southampton donated nail guns, demolition hammers, saws and the like. Power Equipment Plus, Springs Hardware, K-Mart, CVS, Southampton Lumber, and many more donated. Harmon is compiling a full list of those who contributed.

There is still no electricity or water. People are putting the contents of their houses out on the street in dumpsters which are then carted away. Cars, many of which were completely covered with water, have been moved out of the way to help facilitate the cleanup. The Marines and National Guard are patrolling the area.

“People don’t realize how bad it was,” Claflin said. “If it hit us here Main Beach in East Hampton would have come up to Main Street.”

Those wishing to contribute should know, Claflin said, “They look like they have plenty of clothes.”

The local volunteers brought generators, shovels, dog food and pet carriers – pets are a major concern in the wake of the disaster.

The scene is still chaotic 10 days after the storm hit.

“It’s complete gridlock,” Claflin said.

“You see boats in the middle of the street,” Harmon added.

Wrapping Up 2013 Budget

By Kitty Merrill

To m o r r o w n i g h t , t h e E a s t Hampton Town Board is slated to adopt its 2013 operating budget.

Overall, the document gleaned a good review from state officials.

When the town sought state approval to finance the multi-million dollar deficit incurred by disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee, part of the approval involved a requirement that the annual budget proposal be reviewed by the Office of the State Comptroller. In a release last week, Comptroller Tom DiNapoli offered an overview: “The revenue and expenditure projections in the town’s tentative budget are reasonable. The tentative budget for 2013 complies with the tax levy limits.”

The budget review letter offered no recommendation on the budget.

However, it did comment regarding whether town officials had acted upon recommendations made about the 2012 budget.

In one area, it doesn’t look like it. According to the OSC missive, the 2012 tentative budget included estimated revenues of $250,000 from the sale of Town property.

“At the time of our review,” the letter states, “Town officials could not provide documentation to show that this revenue would be realized in 2012. Although we cautioned Town officials regarding the attainability of this estimated revenue, the Town Board retained this amount in the 2012 adopted budget. As of September 2012, the Town’s 2012 year to date and projected revenue for the sale of real property totaled $40,000, resulting in an expected revenue shortfall of $210,000 in the 2012 fiscal year.”

According to town budget officer Len Bernard, the revenue was to come from the sale of the Fort Pond House in Montauk and the townowned office suites on Pantigo Place in East Hampton. The house sale is currently the subject of litigation.

Earlier this month, on November 1, the board held a public hearing on the 2013 proposal. Although one speaker asked members to keep the hearing open so those occupied with super storm matters could have additional time to weigh in, they agreed to close it, the consensus being there had been adequate opportunity for public input since the draft document was first released at the end of September.

A significant part of that opportunity was comprised of the hearing, with the bulk of commentary offered by the town-

appointed Budget and Finance Advisory Committee.

Four members of the BFAC offered the group’s opinions on such topics as the town-owned scavenger waste facility, deer management and information technology services.

Bonnie Krupinski spoke of deer and roads. The BFAC supports purchasing a computer system that would collect data on the condition of roads, in order to increase efficiency with regard to maintenance.

The committee also suggests including between $100,000 and $150,000 in the budget for deer management – for undertaking a count of deer, coordination between governmental and private landowners and for the

www.indyeastend.com

commencement of a culling program. Currently, there’s nothing in the budget to fund a deer management program.

BFAC chair Arthur Malman reiterated earlier opinions related to the town’s scav plant. The group recommends the development of a long-term wastewater management plan and comprehensive environmental testing, which would mean an addition of an estimated $250,000 to the budget.

The group also supports the immediate closure of the transfer station currently operating at the plant. The draft budget includes funding for just three months’ operation of the station, at an estimated $25,000 to $30,000 per month. Closing the station immediately would offset the cost of some of the environmental testing.

On the IT front, BFAC member Michael Diesenhaus said an investment in a special computer system that allows residents to conduct a lot of their business with the town via the Internet would pay for itself in efficiency and reduction in the cost of government.

However, he noted that an earlier contemplation of outsourcing the entire town IT function must still include town staff to manage the outsourcing.

Councilwoman Theresa Quigley opined that such a system might be worthwhile, but she doubted it could be implemented. She said she’s been trying to get a new phone system for the town for three years, and it still hasn’t happened. In the private sector, she said, such a failure to accomplish a task wouldn’t be tolerated.

The Fix Is In Four animal welfare organizations on eastern Long Island are teaming up to conduct a mass trapping for community (feral) cats on Sunday. The four participating organizations include: Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc., Bideawee, Kent Animal Shelter and the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation. Calling it “The Big Fix” the goal of the day is to get 80 cats neutered and vaccinated as part of an ongoing TNR (trap/neuter/return) program that each organization endorses.

A veterinarian and a team of volunteers will be stationed at each facility to process the cats. The treatment for each cat will include neutering, vaccination against rabies and distemper and an ear tip to identify the cat in the future. Volunteer trappers will trap the cats at colonies in East Hampton, Southampton and Riverhead Towns, and bring them to the nearest facility for treatment.

TNR is the nationally recognized, humane way to control community cats. Neutered cats in managed colonies are healthy and no longer reproducing.

Donald Bambrick, the Animal Shelter Supervisor for Southampton Town noted that “TNR is the official policy of the Town of Southampton for feral cats. With cat and kitten numbers at capacity at our shelter, TNR is important to keep feral cats and their offspring out of the shelter.”

Nancy Taylor, the Executive Director of Bideawee, commented that “Bideawee is thrilled to be involved in the Big Fix. We look forward to a successful day.”

Eye New Gas Station Regs

By Kitty Merrill

The lines are vastly diminished, and worry about supply appears to have eased. That seemed to be the case just as County Executive Steve Bellone, echoing the actions of officials in Nassau County and New York City, imposed odd/even day gasoline rationing last Friday.

By Monday morning, the lines at stations beset with delivery and power problems were all but gone . . . and Legislator Steve Stern wants to make sure such a crisis never happens again.

On the heels of a similar proposal debuted in Nassau County, the Suffolk County legislator (D-Huntington) is sponsoring legislation to require gas stations be equipped with transfer switches that would enable them to continue pumping gas in the event of a long term power outage.

“The continuing aftermath of “Super-Storm Sandy” has clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of Long Island’s fuel distribution system and left tens of thousands of residents waiting in long lines

for hours to purchase gasoline needed to get to work and power home generators. While other factors have contributed to these shortages, many gas stations were unable to pump their existing fuel supplies, exacerbating an already difficult situation,” a release from his office states.

“Our local service stations are some of the most important businesses in our communities. However, particularly during the most challenging times, they have an important public role to play,” Legislator Stern said. “This is a reasonable, yet critically important initiative to help ensure that we are better prepared for emergencies in the future and are better able to rely on our local resources, especially during the first several days after a disaster.”

To help defray to cost of complying with the new regulation, Stern plans to work with the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency to pursue a special tax exemption for stations implementing the measure.

Stern planned to introduce the initiative at this week’s meeting of

The rationing plan imposed by Bellone permits motorists to gas up on alternate days by matching the last number of their license plates to the date. Drivers with plates that end in an odd number may get gas

on an odd-numbered day; those with an even number gas up on an even-numbered day. Vanity plates are considered “odd.”

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE The Fly Locals know flies can be a pain in the butt, but there is something poignant about the late-season guys who, sensing winter and death, make a determined effort to stay alive by finding their way indoors.

It happened to us a day before Hurricane Sandy, when a fly made it inside the house not once but twice; we shooed him out only to have him find his way back moments later when we opened the door to let the dog out. He’s been a constant presence ever since, kind of like family. In fact, he reminds me of my mother-in-law, except she can’t fly and neither one can cook.

He hangs with me in the kitchen; he eats with us in the dining room.

Lately he’s taken to coming upstairs at night into the bedroom with us, like a faithful dog. “Little Freddie loves us,” Karen said the other night. This touching bond that has developed – the freaking thing has a name now -- hasn’t stopped me from trying to kill him, which I do about 50 times a

day. He’s a quick little son of a bitch, I’ll say that much for him. I now pursue him with the same purpose our Special Forces used to hunt down bin-Laden.

I brought in heavy artillery for the latest assassination attempt. The famous Mariah Quinn Memorial Fly Elimination System, which was either designed by scientists at Stanford or, more likely, by Mariah’s father, a carpenter. It’s a Flip-Flop on a stick, and it achieved legendary status over the years at the Indy office, where I eliminated nine flies with only nine swats, a feat that will probably never be equaled in the annals of sport.

(Quinn, by the way, is a former Indy staffer and international traveler. She is wanted in several third world countries for murdering insects.)

Flies, like so many of god’s creatures, are amazing wonders of life (this is the part of the column where alert readers gain knowledge and enhance their understanding of mankind and what makes us tick).

“The housefly Musca domestica, is a fly of the suborder Cyclorrhapha. It is the most common of all domestic flies, accounting for about 91 percent of all flies in human habitations, and is indeed one of the most widely distributed insects, found all over the world. It is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.”

In layman’s terms, that means they like to stand on poop. Because flies have no teeth they primarily feed on liquids or finely granulated morsels like pork roast.

Flies taste with their legs, which are 20,000 times more sensitive than human tastebuds, which are located in our mouths. That is why flies sometimes stand in toothpaste, to clean their feet. Talk about feeling right at home -- I caught Freddie flossing his bunions in my bathroom the other day.

When doing research for this column (yes, it takes hours and hours to craft a single paragraph) I came across the following on the Internet: Freddie is a housefly, not to be confused with a horsefly – these generally whinny and have names like Trigger and Kelso. They also like to stand on crap, but only horse crap.

You’ll never see a horsefly hanging around cows, for example, though houseflies sometimes do, especially

IN THE NEWS

when the cow becomes a hamburger.

I plotted the assassination for days.

I put sugar and a little watermelon juice on the kitchen counter. I dimmed the lights so he wouldn’t see my shadow. I crouched behind the refrigerator. Then I heard him.

Freddie was taking the bait. He flew around once to make sure the coast was clear, then nimbly landed on the counter in the midst of the sugar. The Quinn Widow Maker was coiled and ready. With a sudden flick the Flip Flop crashed down onto the kitchen counter, sending the sugar and water flying in all directions. I turned up the lights – there was no body anywhere.

Either Freddie somehow got away, or his terrorist comrades removed the corpse before my people could positively ID it.

Like Freddie The Fly, we all possess an indomitable spirit. We fight to endure, because we lust for life.

Things have been quiet around the house. Karen has been lonely. “Maybe we should get another fly,” she said the other night, as if we could go to an animal shelter that specializes in stray flies instead of cats and dogs.

“Naw,” I said. “There will never be another Freddie.” She started sobbing. I was a little weepy too, but that was because I ran out of cognac.

A Gratifying Response Yes, we were spared the worst of Sandy, but plenty of us felt her wrath. In light of that it was gratifying to note how many East Enders reached out to those whose lives were decimated by the hurricane. Members of the Springs Fire Department made a trip to the Rockaways and Breezy Point over the weekend, joining a caravan of locals who volunteered their time and money to the cause.

The folks from Springs marveled at the generosity of local merchants. Lowe’s in Riverhead, for example, gave the volunteers chain saws and cleaning supplies. Wal-Mart “opened their doors to us,” one of the group noted. One Source Tool in Southampton supplied a wealth of equipment including nail guns, demolition hammers, and a concrete saw. No one asked for publicity, no one had a ulterior motive.

They will rebuild, and they will remember the kindness our little community exhibited. All of us should be proud of our resiliency, and ability to endure. And our inherent kindness.

The Southampton Debacle The abrupt resignation of Southampton Town Police Chief Bill Wilson capped a

Independent VOICES

Politically Correct?

Letter to the editor, Another scandal ignored by silence. It seems the American voter is getting used to small doses of tyranny. It has already been determined that we the taxpayers and citizens, supposedly with “inalienable rights,” are not permitted to participate in political debates. We must be “politically correct.”

We can’t be trusted to ask a question from the floor. We must submit our question in writing, to the likes of the League of Women Voters. In this controlled process the question is completely or partially screened and then asked by a third party.

The politicians love it. Also, most polls show that people in the media are not esteemed much higher than our politicians on the respect or trust scale. Yet they too have usurped the job of moderators in

presidential and local debates. Is this the democracy that veterans served and died to preserve?

And how about what’s going on in Southampton Town Hall? We have a recently appointed a police chief that has just resigned. Now let’s return to “silence.” For those of you that remember the town board meeting or, I think it was called a “public forum” that ostensibly gave the citizen taxpayer the right to ask questions about the candidates for chief of police.

The only problem with the “Forum” was that Supervisor [Anna] Throne-Holst, and the Town Board didn’t participate. That’s right, for an appointment to one of the most powerful departments in the town the citizen taxpayer could ask questions, but the town board had stated it would not give answers. Really? Is this America or the Soviet Union at the local level?

The result of that undemocratic, unAmerican action resulted in the resignation of three senior officers, the dismantling of the critical “Street Crimes Unit,” and now amid accusations and innuendos against other officers we have the resignation of

tumultuous year during which everything that could have gone wrong with the police force went wrong.

Certainly, the town board’s decision to go outside the department to hire Wilson will be second-guessed. And a spate of lawsuits coming from those who were arrested by the department’s Street Crime Unit, which has been labeled as “corrupt,” could cripple the town financially.

Lieutenant James Kiernan, the head of the SCU, was reinstated last week. Wilson urged the town board to suspend the lieutenant. Obviously, the claim that the resignation and reinstatement were unrelated is hard to believe.

We think the town board has been less than forthcoming about this entire affair, and we understand how sensitive it is. But it’s time to let the public in on what’s going on behind the scenes.

The board chose Wilson and the situation began deteriorating within months, and now he’s gone and the position is vacant. For better or worse, town board members should and will be held accountable for the internal chaos.

the chief. Does anyone hold the board accountable?

Maybe the town board exempted itself from the democratic process and refused to answer the questions of those untrustworthy citizens because of deals made with the Republican Party? For example: the Special Town Election in 2010 when Mr. Republican, sorry, Independence Party, and liberal minded Fred Thiele, had it all setup to have his long time aide Rebecca Molinaro selected as the Republican candidate to fill the vacancy on the Town Board. Even though Thiele is pro-death (abortion) and pro-same-sex (homosexual and lesbian) marriage that the Republicans (at least in word) say they reject; the deal was made.

Not so fast! Some citizen taxpayers didn’t like the liberal trend of the party and challenged a primary, and started a petition drive to have Mr. Ron Maloney, a more conservative citizen taxpayer selected.

Voila! The Party dropped Molinaro and selected Bill Hughes as the candidate; and then later sandbagged him. Although the conventional wisdom is that the “religious

right” did in Mr. Hughes. Not so Bill!

Now, let’s look at Mr. Thiele’s payback for his generosity to the party in that Special Town Election. You will note that in this last election Fred Thiele was unopposed for his Assembly Seat. My, my, in all of Suffolk County the likes of John Jay LaValle (Party Chairman) and the others of the Republican and Conservative Parties couldn’t find a candidate to oppose Mr. Thiele. Something ain’t right in River City, and that means trouble right here in Southampton with a capital “T” for the town board, and that rhymes with “P” for the police department.

Not to worry! The town board will probably have another “public forum” or whatever, where you get the chance to ask questions but the board doesn’t give any answers.

Does that sound good, open, transparent and democratic? Hardly, but that’s what you can expect if you remain quiet, play the “politically correct” game, and allow those elected officials who “serve” the community to keep silent and refuse to answer your questions.

“The dune will take care of itself, if you take care of the beach.”

That’s what Aram Terchunian, an environmental consultant from First Coastal corporation, said to Southampton Town officials during a discussion on the revised Bridgehampton and Sagaponack Beach Erosion Control District project last Thursday.

Te r c h u n i a n , a l o n g w i t h Assemblyman Fred Thiele, Deputy Town Attorney Kathleen Murray, Chief Environmental Analyst Marty Shea, and Town Trustees Fred Havemeyer and Eric Schultz, met with the Southampton Town Board to discuss how to proceed in the upcoming winter months last Thursday.

In the aftermath of both Hurricane Sandy and last week’s Nor’Easter, the pressure was on to move the project forward before the worst of the winter weather sets in.

“Homeowners have spent lots of money on fixing their homes,” said Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst.

“They have a first hand look at what can happen after a storm like this. It really brings to the forefront what we should do to prepare.”

Shea said there has been “very significant beach erosion and dune loss.”

Shea explained the intent of the Erosion Control District plan is to extend the beach seaward, thus softening its incline.

“Hurricane Sandy has accelerated our agenda,” Terchunian said.

“Our conclusion is we’re running a sediment deficit, which in turn manifests itself with a particular form of a profile. Our driving forces have all been accelerated by Sandy.”

Tim Kana, of Coastal Science & Engineering Inc., was also on hand to discuss and compare a similar situation he assisted with in South Carolina.

“It’s about building up the underwater profile,” he said. “Dunes are critical for the long term. It’s a simple concept, but it really needs a community effort.”

The $24 million project is making some headway.

“A l though t he d a m a g e w e sustained here is nothing compared to elsewhere,” Throne-Holst said, “we need to move this forward. We need to protect the resources there.”

“If you’re eligible for [Federal Emergency Management Agency] funding, then you’re eligible for reimbursement,” Thiele said.

“Whatever you lost, you can get back.” Terchunian noted that would only include rebuilding the surf line.

Thiele said he and Murray are working on legislation that would provide conservation easements for the properties within the project boundaries, with the possibility of having a bill drafted as early as tomorrow. A special town board meeting was held last Friday to discuss deadlines and when to book dredges to move the sand.

“One of the biggest issues on this is timing,” Thiele said. “When can it be passed and when can it be effective.”

Thiele reminded the town board legislation needs to be adopted well before July 1, 2013, when the prime season for recreational beach-going begins.

Motorist Killed On Icy Road Matthew D. Williams, 29, of Southampton was killed last Thursday morning, when his 1999 Ford Mustang slid on an icy road and crashed into a tree.

Southampton Town Police were alerted to the crash just before two that morning. It appears Williams was traveling alone on Flanders Road approximately two miles north of Old Riverhead Road in Hampton Bays. Responding officers found the driver trapped in his car.

The Hampton Bays Fire Department Heavy Rescue Unit was able to extricate Williams, who police say was suffering from critical injuries. During the extrication, he lost consciousness and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a release from STPD, “Initial findings reveal that the vehicle lost control due to icy road conditions and inclement weather.”

All Washed Up A window washer hired to handle a job on Cold Spring Court in Southampton allegedly decided to clean jewelry out of a bedroom dresser while he was wiping the glass. Cops caught up to Richard Neuman, 28, of Medford, and last week reported charging him with third degree grand larceny. About $8000 in baubles was boosted; detectives are still trying to recover the proceeds.

The same goes for another suspected thief. Southampton Town Police say Joe L. McKay, 65, of Riverside pawned a stolen Riverhead High School ring. He was charged with criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree.

Also at the west end of town, Tara E. Clark, 37, of Wading River, is accused of stealing from an elderly Eastport man she was hired to care for. Cops say she used the victim’s bankcard and bank account for money to pay for personal expenditures like visits to a tattoo parlor and nail salon. The investigation spanned several months and resulted in a charge of fourth degree grand larceny.

Shelter Island

including his great-great grandson, Arthur Bloom, and other public officials at the ceremony. The event was held at Preston Plaza in front of the Shelter Island Police Station.

During the ceremony, Sheriff DeMarco remarked on the life of Sheriff Preston: “Like thousands of his fellow soldiers, he was injured during the Civil War and suffered from pain throughout his life. His service and devotion to his country, in itself, makes him a hero.”

The memorial was constructed out of a granite boulder that originated from the site of the former 19th-centur y Griffing Avenue jail in Riverhead.

John Ziemacki, 90, died when a car being driven by his wife, Caroline, collided with a car driven

by Mathew Romanelli of Greenport.

The accident occurred Saturday morning on Route 25. Police said Ziemacki was attempting to make a left turn when her vehicle was struck by Romanelli, driving a Dodge Ram truck. No charges were filed.

A day earlier a man was killed in an accident at the intersection of Route 25 and Route 25A. Police said Joseph Amodemo Jr. was driving a 2011 Honda Accord when he collided with a 1995 GMC Yukon operated by Meghan Campbell, 20.

Her passenger, Chris Zullo, 25, was airlifted to Stony Brook Hospital with head injuries. Police are asking for eyewitnesses to come forward.

Promising Seamless Service

With North Fork Legislator Ed Romaine poised to take the oath and become supervisor of the Town of Brookhaven this month, Suffolk’s first legislative district will be left with no elected representation.

Hopefully not for long, said his chief of staff Bill Faulk Monday. Faulk, who’s worked for Romaine in the district for seven years, has thrown his hat into the ring as a contender in a special election for the seat.

Once Romaine leaves, county lawmakers have up to 90 days to set a special election. In the interim, Romaine’s seat will remain vacant, but Faulk will be in his office in Riverhead handling constituent services and working as an extension of the legislature’s Presiding Officer’s office.

A special election will be held in January or February, and Faulk, who worked for former Presiding Officer Joe Caracappa, and former County Executive Bob Gaffney, feels he’s the best successor to Romaine, a man he calls, “a strong voice in he legislature.”

W i t h 11 y e a r s i n c o u n t y government, Faulk, 35, pointed out, “Upon election, I hit the ground running . . . there will be full and effective representation from day one.”

A resident of Manorville, Faulk offered, “My heart’s in the district.” As Romaine’s aide, he boasts familiarity with each town and village in the district – “from Center Moriches to Fisher’s Island.”

The students at John Marshall held their own presidential election last week, learning about popular and electoral colleges, casting their votes, counting the ballots, and keeping track of the outcome.

Tuckahoe The Student Council election was held on, October 26, 2012. Here are the election results: President – Ted Jennings, Vice President – Marcelina Kropiwnicka, Secretary – Rachel Grindle, and Treasurer – Andres Felipe Perez. We also have several students serving as Class Representatives. From the sixth grade Daelyn D’Agostino, Connor Rozzi, Carly Cenzoprano, Nick Ford, Caitlyn Kirshy, Jillian Kolarik, Sophia Guillo, and Lucca Vignoli.

From the seventh grade Gus Carter, Jordan Klinge, Justin Hadix, and Keilyn Castillo. From the eighth grade, Melissa Aquino.

If any other students are interested in serving as a class representative, please see Mrs. Kerry Terry or Miss Sarah Owen. The Student Council will be hosting a middle school dance on Friday. The dance will take place in the cafeteria from 6 to 8 PM. The PTO Pottery Night has been rescheduled to Friday. The PTO Thanksgiving Feast this year is going to be held on Tuesday. School will be closed for Thanksgiving Recess this year beginning Wednesday.

Riverhead High School It’s only November, but Robert, who has been attending classes at RHS since September 2011, is graduating early from Riverhead High School.

Like the majority of RHS grads, Robert will continue his education after graduation. Robert’s career goal is to become a Canine Companions assistance dog, a graduate of Canine Companion for Independence (CCI) training school.

RHS science teacher Sonja Haasper, who accepted the responsibility of becoming his “puppy raiser” when he was just eight weeks old, started bringing him to school when he turned four months old. Robert is now 18 months.

Robert and Ms. Haasper will attend his graduation ceremony at the Islandia Mariott. Fourteen CCI dogs

will graduate and “buddy-up” for their professional training and the beginning of a partnership between the dogs and people in need of service and companionship. After an extensive testing program, it is hoped that Robert and nine other dogs will enter the next phase of their training.

East Hampton High School On October 26, staff members met with Dr. Jonathan Cohen from the National School Climate and Culture Center. “It was a very productive meeting,” said Adam Fine, the principal. Mr. Fine is planning to administer a survey to all the students and parents in December to provide “valuable data needed to facilitate lasting and meaningful school improvement,” he said.

The morning the school reopened after the storm, free hot chocolate was served for students, and hot coffee for staff, in the cafeteria. It was a time to catch up and chat for everyone.

Also on Monday, the students held a winter weather clothing drive for people impacted by Sandy. Many bags filled with coats, gloves, scarves, and other warm clothing was gathered by the students in the Main Office and then brought to different drop points upIsland.

The Gay-Straight Alliance is working to raise funds for the Ali Forney Center, a N.Y.C. center for homeless L.G.B.T. youth that was severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

Due to the storm, senior portrait retakes have been rescheduled on Tuesday.

Mr. Fine’s principal/parent breakfast will be held on November 28 at 8 AM in the library. Parents are invited to bring their own coffee and victuals.

The school store is open, with new, exciting items at lower prices. Ear warmer/headbands, pajama pants, drawstring knapsacks, and new, less expensive hoodies are available by check or cash. The store is open

Ross School’s Fall One-Act Plays opened on last Thursday in the Court Theater. You Never Know What You Might Get featured nine short one-act plays from various playwrights, including Ross sophomore Lily Baron.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, from 7:20 to 7:40 AM. A harvest food drive will be held on Saturday, Nov 17, at the Middle School. Non-perishable food items, monetary gifts and gift cards, and other items will be collected for the East Hampton Food Pantry. There will be games, rides, refreshments, and face painting for the younger set. The event will take place from 11 AM to 3 PM.

John M. Marshall Students at John Marshall learned about voting, veterans, and vegetables in the last two weeks.

First the entire school participated in a mock presidential election, led by fourth-grade teacher Joe Sanicola and the Student Activities Club under the direction of Lisa McKee. The classrooms were divided into states,” Mr. Sanicola said, “and each class was given a proportional electoral vote.” A colored map kept track of the favorites of each “state,” and the popular vote was also taken into account and tallied by the students.

All of the electoral votes went to President Barack Obama – in the popular contest, 501 voted for the President, 150 for Mitt Romney.

“It really mimics New York State’s numbers,” said Mr. Sanicola.

The whole school turned out to celebrate Veterans Day, with special guests and a performance of patriotic music by the East Hampton High School orchestra, led by Troy Grindle. Students in all grades also spearheaded a food and clothing drive to aid those most seriously affected

by Sandy. The varsity football team brought items, including school supplies gathered by elementary school students, up to Babylon when they attended their game on Saturday.

Jamie Tulp’s third-grade class began working with Ginny Reale from East Hampton’s Wellness Foundation.

Ms. Reale educated students and parents alike about the differences between whole and processed foods.

They also learned about the benefits of a balanced diet, which should always include proteins, grains, dairy, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Ms. Reale will continue her unit on healthy eating with the third grade for five weeks.

And speaking of healthy, East End Orthodontics wants to buy back leftover Halloween candy from the students. For every pound of candy collected, the dentists will donate $1 to the J.M.M.E.S. P.T.A. The candy will be sent to troops overseas, so they can share it with other children. Candy will be collected until Friday, Nov. 16.

Ross Upper School In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Ross parents, teachers, and students have mobilized to collect critical resources for those in western Long Island and in the New York City area who have suffered enormous loss. Taking a hands-on approach, Lower School teachers Eileen DeCecco and Shannon Timoney eagerly volunteered to assist aid and cleanup efforts in Lindenhurst this weekend.

In addition, collection sites have been set up on both campuses.

At Ross Lower School, donation boxes are located in the Green Building, in the lobby of the Farm Building, and outside the Kindergarten classroom.

At the Upper School, donation boxes have been placed in the High School and Middle School offices as well as outside the Café in the Center for Well-Being. The first delivery run of donated goods will be this weekend.

The School is working with Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and this week’s delivery will specifically help people located in the Rockaways.

There are still many items needed for this ongoing relief effort, particularly baby formula and diapers.

In addition, those who want to help can donate the following: bleach, mops, buckets, plastic bins, Sterno cans, candles, matches or lighters, flashlights with batteries, heavy-duty garbage bags, gloves (for warmth and work), ready-to-eat food (pop-top for cans, and if possible, not requiring heat), pet food, blankets, and coats.

It’s that time of the season – you lose, you go home. For three local teams, the joyride continues.

Last weekend’s best game may well have been the epic battle between Mercy and Hampton Bays Saturday.

– Mercy had inexplicably lost to East Hampton two weeks back, likely costing the North Forkers a home game.

The two teams were locked in a defensive struggle for much of the day. The Monarchs drew first blood, a one-yard plunge by Asaiah Wilson in the second quarter. But Justin Carbone, the Baymen’s star quarterback, connected with his favorite receiver, Trey Kennedy, on a 50-yard bomb that knotted the game

at 7-7, and it remained that way until the fourth quarter. Wilson scored again from the one to make it 14-7, but Carbone hit Justin Robinson on a 30-yard strike, then coolly found Cody Nolan in the end zone for a two-point conversion to give his team a 15-14 lead.

The Monarchs, their season on the line and time running down, drove down the field. A Thomas Kent eightyard run set the stage for Wilson’s two-point conversion to give Mercy a 22-15 lead.

Hampton Bays, remarkably, came back. Carbone found Kennedy in the end zone on a 30-yard strike with only 90 seconds left in the fray.

The Baymen could have opted for a one-point extra point kick to tie the game – Carbone is an excellent placekicker – but opted to go for the two-point conversion and the win. The locals fell short, stifled by the relentless Mercy defense. For Hampton Bays, the season is over.

Mercy plays Babylon, the Number One seed, Saturday.

Babylon (9-0) annihilated East Hampton (3-7), the eighth seed, 55-14, after opening up a 43-7 halftime lead.

But the Bonackers were winners, too – the team and fans brought needed supplies to Babylon, which had been ravaged by Hurricane Sandy.

III but it wasn’t easy. Playing at home Friday night, the Hurricanes (6-3), the third seed, locked horns with Comsewogue (4-5) and neither team budged. In fact, the defensive intensity was such that the two teams finished the game without scoring a single point.

Comsewogue had first crack at scoring in overtime, but it was Westhampton that broke through on a 17-yard scamper by Eric Gagne to seal the deal. The locals play the second seed, Miller Place (8-1), on the road Saturday.

Riverhead, the second seed in Division II, dispatched Whitman 3613 after opening a 29-6 halftime lead.

Riverhead had its precision offense working Saturday. The quarterback Ryan Blitzer was coolly efficient, going 11-15 for 149 yards and two scores.

Blitzer also ran for a TD. Star running back Jeremiah Cheaton bulled his way for 120 yards on 20 carries and scored twice. Whitman, the seventh seed, finished with a 4-5 mark.

The Wave gets West Babylon at home Saturday at 1 PM. West Babylon, the eighth seed, pulled the upset of the year, handing West Islip, the Number One seed, its first loss of the season. The Eagles scored on the last play of the game, to knock the Eagles out of the playoffs in the most dramatic fashion.

Mets And Dickey Should Move On One of the most predictable moments in sports is the dance between a player and the front office during pending free agency. The player will remind the media and fans how interested he is in staying with his current employer. The front office will profess their love in wanting to keep their star. All of the sudden the divorce happens, and both sides blame the other and move on.

The Mets are beginning the early stages of that dance with R.A. Dickey right now. Dickey’s option for 2013 was picked up, and now the two sides are hoping to work on an extension.

But naturally, there are long-term decisions to be made by both parties.

R.A. Dickey became the first 20game winner for the New York Mets

since Frank Viola in 1990. Dickey’s season numbers were very impressive, 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA, especially considering his mediocre supporting cast.

Rightly so, Dickey is looking for a big contract. But he is still a 38-year old, career journeyman that throws a knuckle ball. Dickey has been quoted as saying, “I don’t want to go . . . I like being a Met.” The caveat being, he likes being a Met at his price. Athletes never mention that part. They fail to remind the fan base that they like you, but only when the dollars are adequate.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has been open and honest about negotiations with Dickey. He would like to keep Dickey in Queens,

Alumni Hoops In Mattituck The 2nd Annual North Fork All-Star Alumni Basketball Games will be held November 23 at the Greenport High School gym beginning at 6 PM. The event is held in memory of Michael Brown, Corey Freeman, and Naquawn Treadwell. The first game will pit former players 30 years and older from Greenport against Mattituck High alumni. The second game will pit similar teams from Southold and Greenport.

There will be a three-point shooting contest and a 50/50 raffle.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students. Children, age five and under, will be admitted free. but not for an obscene amount of money. Frankly, he shouldn’t.

The chances that 2012 was a career year for Dickey at age 38 are much more likely than this becoming the new norm. Yes, the life of a knuckle baller’s arm is typically much longer.

But I don’t believe that a team with this many needs and a tight budget should sign a pitcher to a contract that takes him into his early forties.

That is just not smart investing.

Typically, 20-game winners receive massive contracts, which are only viable for a handful of teams. But with Dickey’s option for 2013 already picked up, at a very reasonable $5 million, trading him becomes a very legitimate option for Alderson.

This could be a perfect opportunity for the Mets to buy low and sell high.

Usually, the Mets are on the opposite side, buying high and selling low (see Jason Bay and a host of other overpriced, free agent signings).

The Mets need an entire outfield, a bullpen, and upgrades at catcher and middle infield. If Dickey can bring multiple pieces of value, he’s worth saying goodbye to.

Both camps are showing interest in continuing their relationship. But the more time that passes, the more likely it appears that Alderson is weighing his options. If that means trading Dickey, fans should embrace it. The team has improved their minor league depth, but they need even more. There are exceptions to every rule, but it’s time for the front office to play the odds. The numbers lead me to believe R.A. Dickey in 2014 and 2015 will not be worth $15 million per year. Here’s a chance for ownership’s cheapness to benefit this team’s future. I’ll take my chances.
