In the end the long bus rides, the grueling overtime periods, and the suffocating pressure were worth it.

In the end, the Pierson/ Bridgehampton Lady Whalers proved to the entire state what they already knew – nothing could break the resolve of this team. The goal, all season, has been the New York State Class C Field Hockey Championship.

Sunday, the dream became a reality.

First came Saturday, a crucial semifinal match against Whitney Point, played, like the final, at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

Whitney scored in the first half to take a 1-0 lead, but the locals responded when Emme Luck scored off an assist from Katherine Matthers. Throughout the grueling second half, Whitney attacked, only to be thwarted by Pierson’s blanket defense led by Allura Leggard, Rachael Miller, Kirra McGowin and India Hemby.

Then, of course, there was the final line of defense – the rock, Samantha Duchemin, in goal. Like so many times during the season, Duchemin would be tested; time and time, she would display her vast array of acrobatic moves to record

critical saves. The team would need all of her considerable skills, and every ounce of her energy, before the weekend finally ended.

The two teams battled through two scoreless overtimes and moved into a shootout phase – a rotating offensive player would have 10 seconds to shoot at the goal. Matthers and Hemby each scored for the locals, but Whitney scored twice as well. Thus, a second shootout, and this time three Whalers -- Kasey Gilbride, Hemby and Ana Sherwood, found the net.

When Duchemin executed a kick save – coming off a cartwheel, no less -- exhausted Coach Shannon Judge’s charges had earned a berth in the title game the following day by virtue of a 2-1 win (3-1 in the second shootout).

The opponent in the finale was Cazenovia (15-4-1), which was fitting.

In 2010, Pierson was denied a state title by this very team, and revenge was definitely the name of this game, especially for Matthers and Gilbride, who played in that game as freshmen. Once again, the team found itself locked in a defensive struggle, but it was Cazenovia that was the more aggressive team,

Lady Whalers Strike Gold

especially in the second half.

The Lakers attacked repeatedly, but with Hemby and Leggard leading the stubborn defense the Whalers were able to repulse most advances. Duchemin was there on the rare occasions when Cazenovia made it to the net, recording seven saves during the scoreless game.

Into overtime it went, with both teams clearly exhausted but determined. Again, neither side

was able to draw blood, and the two teams moved into second overtime.

Pierson, for the most past, had the same players on the field throughout the ordeal. “They’ve been running for three months so they’re used to it” said Judge, matter-of-factly.

The second overtime was winding down as well, when suddenly Continued on Page 17.

LET’S TRADE BILL DE BLASIO TO TORONTO FOR MAYOR ROB FORD

New York City would come out ahead.

OK, so Rob Ford has admitted that he smoked crack. And he claims he did it while he was drunk out of his mind and, yes, he said he wanted to engage in oral sex with a woman who worked in his office and, yes, the term he used was not “oral sex.”

In a press conference, allegations that he made sexual advances towards staffer Olivia Gondek seemed to anger the mayor the most.

“It says that I wanted to eat her p****. I would never do that. I’m happily married. I’ve got more than enough to eat at home, thank you very much,” he said.

Granted, his mortified wife may kill him in his sleep because she was by his side when he blurted out his private dining preferences during that press conference.

But if she lets him live I would

make a plea to get him to consider trading places with Bill de Blasio.

Here’s how I would convince Rob Ford to take the job: “Rob,” I will say, “if you like your crack pipe you can keep your crack pipe.”

If he accepts I would take him as mayor of New York City over Bill de Blasio any day. Here’s why: All Rob Ford will do as our mayor is get drunk, hit the pipe and make us laugh. His antics will take everyone’s minds off the sad state of this country.

On the other hand, Bill de Blasio – who really is the puppet mayor of Al Sharpton – may, in his bumbling, socialist, liberal way, inadvertently destroy our wonderful city. He will be a terrible mayor. Mark my words.

The fact is Rob Ford has been a good mayor for Toronto, which is the sixth largest city in this hemisphere.

from which much of the factual material in this column has been excerpted, Weir quotes Rob Ford as saying, “My specialty is taking care of people that have been totally ignored their whole life, and I’m not going to stop doing it.”

Rob Ford was elected to a fouryear term in 2010 and has cut taxes and streamlined government under his administration. He has been accessible to constituents: he gives out his cell phone number to voters, to call him any time about problems with city services or taxes.

“I don’t believe in wasting taxpayer’s money.”

He doesn’t have a chauffeur and other city perks, all in the name of keeping spending down for the average taxpayer.

In the Queen’s Plate projects in Toronto they say Rob Ford is the greatest public servant they’ve ever known.

He’s the person they call at home when the landlord won’t fix the heat.

He’s the guy who coached their kids in football.

While he’s often characterized as conservative, Ford, according to his brother, is “a huge, massive social liberal” who loves U.S. President Barack Obama.

That would go over big in New York City and the Hamptons, where the vast majority of voters also love President Obama and they are grateful for the hope and change he has given them.

Another quote from Rob Ford: “What I always say is, there are more poor people than rich people, and I stick up for the poor people.”

That’s what Bill de Blasio always says, too.

That’s what every politician says until the time comes when he or she is looking for campaign contributions

COLLECTOR’S CHOICE an impressive collection of paintings by Contemporary and Modernist artists, along with continuous screenings of Modernist and Surreal films from the 1920's-1930's.

and that’s when they decide rich people aren’t so bad after all.

But the main reason I would take Rob Ford as our mayor is because Bill de Blasio is going to end Stop-andFrisk and he plans to weaken our police force.

When de Blasio takes over we will not have the same competent emphasis against crime and terrorism that we have enjoyed under Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.

Bill de Blasio is going to bring this city back to what it was during the 1990s, with homeless stretched out on every corner. Panhandlers on every street. Squeegee boys extorting your money.

Crime? Welcome to Detroit.

It’s already happening.

Gun seizures have fallen nearly 12 percent since idiot Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled that Stop-and-Frisk violated the civil rights of blacks and Hispanics. Shootings are up 2.3 percent.

Shooting victims are up 3.4 percent.

Think that’s a small number that doesn’t affect you? Well, check out the New York Police Department’s Daily Crime Blotter. Rafael Alam, 22, was talking to a woman in a vehicle parked near 174th Street and Jerome Avenue when the woman’s brother – who apparently did not approve of the man – shot Alam three times in the chest, killing him. You can bet that Alam’s friends are packing guns and going after the killer and his family.

The next thing you know shots will ring out on a street in that part of the Bronx and an innocent child holding her parent’s hand will be hit.

I only wish we could charge idiot Judge Shira Scheindln as an accessory in the shooting of Alam and all the shootings that come after that. Sadly, it’s only the beginning.

If Rob Ford were our mayor the only problem he would have with Stop-and-Frisk would be when the police stopped and frisked him and confiscated his crack pipe.

Are The Bishop And Shinnecock FBI Probes Related?

By Rick Murphy

The Independent broke the stor y that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating Congressman Tim Bishop, or at least was, earlier in the year.

The FBI also raided the Shinnecock reservation last May, reportedly after receiving information about its efforts to open a casino and the relationship of tribal members to Michael Malik, a controversial casino owner who has funneled a significant amount of money to the tribe. Malik is also a Bishop campaign contributor.

Christos Sinos, a Supervisory Special Agent in the New York Citybased FBI Office of Public Affairs, said Monday, “We have no comment

on the Bishop matter and whether it is related to the Shinnecock Indian Nation raids.”

Though there is no firm connection between the two FBI investigations, there are indications that the possibility exists they are related.

A Bishop spokesman did not return a request for comment when asked as much.

The FBI grilled Southampton Town Trustees in early spring about Bishop and the circumstances surrounding a fireworks display held near an active Piping Plover nest in May, 2012. Bishop had pulled strings to expedite the issuance of a license for the event. In return he asked the constituent staging

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

the fireworks, Eric Semler, for $10,000, and eventually received $5000. Bishop donated the money to charity after the scandal broke.

Semler had business connections with Robert F.X. Sillerman, a huge Bishop campaign contributor, his former boss at Southampton College, and a longtime friend. It is believed Sillerman has had a hand in raising millions of dollars for Bishop’s campaigns over the years.

According to published reports 15 to 20 agents combed the reservation.

One target was the Gaming Authority office, which contained computers and documents relating to the tribe’s effort to establish a casino with Malik, a Detroit-based casino developer.

In October, 2011 Newsday reported, “Detroit-based Gateway Casino Resorts has exclusive rights to develop and manage any Shinnecock Indian Nation casinos . . . Gateway is controlled

by Detroiters Michael Malik, a controversial wheeler-dealer, and Marian Ilitch. Her husband owns the Detroit Tigers, and they own the Detroit Red Wings and Little Caesars pizza. She owns Detroit’s Motor City Casino.”

According to filings and published reports Malik and Gateway poured millions of dollars into the quest to get federal recognition for the Shinnecock.

Though no one is saying the raid was connected the Bishop investigation, Malik has donated money to Bishop’s campaign in the past. The congressman was criticized for accepting Malik’s donations in 2010 and in 2011, though when queried in 2011 a Bishop spokesman was quoted as saying Bishop opposed the idea of placing a casino locally.

In addition Bishop, a vocal supporter of the Shinnecock, wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Interior urging the government to grant federal recognition to the tribe, which would pave the way for a casino – or perhaps another use, on the site.

Bishops campaign literature states, “Congressman Bishop helped the Shinnecock Indian Tribe achieve federal recognition by the Department of Interior and has been instrumental in helping the tribe receive federal funding for housing, energy and tribal governance projects.”

On another front, according the Miami New Times, Sillerman, “has made a significant investment in the Opium Group, which owns the dance clubs, Mansion, Set, Mokai, Cameo, and Opium at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.”

The Seminole tribe sent “a management team” to the Shinneock reservation after Hurricane Sandy.

Bishop has spent a fortune in legal fees trying to get the House Committee On Ethics to end its review of charges leveled against him – so far, to no avail.

Friday the Committee of Ethics said it has ended its review of two congressman accused of availing themselves of free trips to Taiwan.

The committee found that Peter Roskam, a Republican congressman from Illinois, was indeed guilty of availing himself of an “illegal gift” when he took an all-expenses paid Continued on Page 28.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes, Or . . . Not

Len Bernard, seen above with chief auditor Charlene Kagel, will continue to help steer the town’s fiscal ship next year.

By Kitty Merrill

Len Bernard, the Budget Officer insiders credit with the restoration of East Hampton’s fiscal health, will remain at the helm of the finance office come January. On Sunday, Supervisor-elect Larry Cantwell announced plans to keep Bernard on next year when he takes office.

According to a release heralding the expected appointment, Cantwell said, “Len Bernard helped spearhead the financial recovery of the Town, reorganize the finance department, and developed strong working relationships with the N.Y.S. Comptrollers Office and the financial professionals who advise the Town. I want his experience and dedication working with me to continue the town on a path of financial recovery and balanced budgets.”

T h e p a i r, b o t h n a t i v e s o f Amagansett, have known each other since boyhood. They grew up in the same neighborhood, with Bernard, a few years younger, serving as batboy to Cantwell’s Babe Ruth Little League team. Their grandmothers were best friends, Bernard informed this week.

In adulthood, their political philosophies diverged. Bernard, a staunch Republican, ran twice

unsuccessfully for supervisor on the GOP line and served as a member of the town board during the 90s.

Cantwell’s a Democrat.

“While we may be loyal members of different political parties, Len and I agree there is no room for party politics when it comes to the financial health of the town,” his release emphasizes. “I don’t think this is any great surprise,” the supervisor-elect said Sunday.

“There’s a good finance team in there and I want a good team.”

Making good on vows to craft an inclusive administration, Cantwell said he’s invited Councilman-elect Fred Overton, who will be the sole Republican on the dais come January, to participate in transition discussions.

“All too often, in the past,” his released statement continues, “a new majority discusses transition p l a n s f o r a ppo intm ents a nd organization without inviting minority party involvement. With the support of the Democrats on the new town board I have invited Fred and he has agreed to be a full partner in our transition planning.

I look forward to Fred playing an equal role among the town board members. The election is over and it is time to move forward together.”

Part of that moving forward will

include a close look at appointed positions such as those in the town attorney’s office. Cantwell said the team has given current staff in the TA’s office an opportunity to be considered and hopes to make decisions by the beginning of next month “so they know where they stand.”

Over the last 20 years, Cantwell’s predecessors have all tried their hand at a wholesale revamping of select town departments, particularly the ordinance enforcement branch. Asked if he, too, plans such an overhaul, Cantwell said, “There’s a lot for us to learn about how the town is operating now. A more determined effort in enforcement of quality of life issues is a priority of ours.”

How key departments operate will be carefully reviewed, he said, “professionally and objectively.”

As he prepares to lead a new Democratic majority into town hall, Cantwell is also looking to restore a chief of staff, or executive assistant to the supervisor’s office.

The position was eliminated by current Supervisor Bill Wilkinson as a cost-cutting measure.

Returning to the Bernard appointment, Cantwell isn’t the only supervisor who’s crossed party lines when putting together his management team. In 1999, thensupervisor-elect Jay Schneiderman, who swept in on the Republican line, irked party faithful by appointing Democrat Eric Bregman Town Attorney, and naming Eric Brown, who’d been appointed to the TA’s office by his democratic predecessor Cathy Lester, as his chief of staff.

Bernard served as Schneiderman’s budget officer and saw the town through four bond rating upgrades; for a time East Hampton enjoyed the highest bond rating of any town in the state. He returned to the budget office in 2010 under Wilkinson.

In a statement Sunday, he said, “I want to thank Supervisorelect Cantwell for giving me the opportunity to be part of his effort to move the town towards the high financial standing it should ultimately attain. The town has come a long way in four years and I know Larry wants to keep that momentum going applying his 30 years of experience in municipal management.

“His willingness to recognize the accomplishments and skills of the current financial team and put good government ahead of politics sets up the Town well to continue the move forward.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Septic Rebate Program Gains 100K

By Emily Toy

Southampton Town’s Septic System Rebate and Incentive Program got a major boost last week when the town board unanimously adopted new legislation to award the program with $100,000.

The initiative, contemplated as part of the Water Quality Protection Fund, is the first of its kind in Suffolk County, according to a press release from the town distributed last Friday.

Earlier in the year, the town board initially funded the rebate program with $50,000, geared toward upgrading and replacing

inadequate sanitary systems within the town, particularly those installed before the 1980s, that are leeching nitrogen into local waters. The pilot program was deemed a success and due to current budgetary funding available to transfer from unallocated insurance funds, the Water Quality Protection Fund will continue to reap the benefits. Last Thursday’s work session found Comptroller Len Marchese, Deputy Town Attorney Kathleen Murray, and Chief Environmental Analyst Marty Shea discussing funding for the WQPF. Much like the program’s first go-round, the $100,000 will be

distributed on a first come first serve basis. Those who applied for funding when the program was first introduced but were not able to receive the incentive because the $50,000 was used up (which happened in a matter of weeks), will be first on the list to get money.

“The original funding depleted after only a few weeks, proving that homeowners are willing, even eager, to upgrade, if offered an incentive to do so,” said Councilwoman Christine Scalera, who’s spearheaded the program.

The septic rebate legislation allows for residents to receive up to 50 percent of the cost of the

upgrade, and up to 60 percent to those who reside in critical watershed areas within 200 feet of a body of water. Studies show installing a septic system can cost anywhere from $4000 to $14,000.

“While ultimately, I believe a regional approach is what is going to be needed to address this critical issue,” Scalera said, “with what I hope will be attendant funding opportunities, I believe fiscally responsible appropriations as done thus far on the part of the town are warranted in the interim.”

Residents interested in applying for the rebate program can pick up applications in the Building Department in Town Hall.

Ugly Incident At Phoenix House East Hampton Town Police took a 16-year-old from Rockville Centre into custody Sunday after an ugly incident was reported at the Phoenix House. Police said they responded to the Industrial Road, Wainscott, complex after an 18 year-old had been transported to Southampton Hospital.

‘Flexible’ 2014 Budget To Be Adopted

By Kitty Merrill

As The Independent went to press Tuesday, the East Hampton Town Board was expected to adopt its spending plan for next year. By law, the proposed budget must be adopted by November 20 each year.

Barring changes made Tuesday, the final version will call for a tax rate increase of 2.86 percent for property owners outside the villages, and 4.22 percent for those with land inside the boundaries of incorporated villages, with rates at $28.71 per $100 of assessed valuation and $11.42 per $100 a/v respectively.

At just over $73 million the budget stays within the governor’s two percent tax cap, with about $20,000 to spare, and is just 1.3 percent higher than the 2013 budget.

As required by law, the public notice for the November 7 hearing on the preliminary budget listed proposed annual salaries for elected officials. Barring changes made yesterday (though none are expected) the supervisor’s salary will be $100,776 next year. Members

of the town board will make $62,985 each for what’s described as a part time job.

Town justices, who serve 26 of 52 weeks, are slated for checks totaling $73,188 each. The town clerk, which is a full time position, will earn a salary of $84,951, the same as the superintendent of highways.

The chair of the board of assessors is tabbed for a salary of $80,836, with her town assessors each making $72,994.

The clerk of the town trustees will be paid $39,047, with the assistant clerk’s stipend listed as $9880 and the remaining members of the nine person body set to earn $7410 each next year.

Because the town sought state approval to borrow the money to liquidate the multi-million dollar deficit wrought by disgraced former supervisor Bill McGintee’s era, the Office of the State Comptroller must, by law, review the proposed budget each year until the debt is paid. In a letter to the town board dated October 30, OSC officials deemed revenue and expenditure predictions “reasonable.”

Aid For Typhoon Victims

By Kitty Merrill

As the world sheds tears for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, communities and charitable organizations are joining forces to provide aid . . . and the East End is right there with a helping hand.

On Monday students at East Hampton High School raised hundreds of dollars with a bake sale.

This Friday East Hampton Indoor Tennis on Daniel’s Hole Road in Wainscott will host a benefit from

7 to 9 PM for kids ($30) and on Saturday night from 7 to 9 PM for adults ($40). Admission includes food, drinks, prizes and match play.

Call 631-537-8012. Proceeds from the weekend’s events will go to the American Red Cross.

On Sunday Bay Street Theatre is the venue for Typhoon Relief for the Philippines, a fundraiser night of bands beginning at 7 PM. “The Hamptons is a caring community. People are generous and want help,” observed Legislator

Discuss Parcel And Program

By Kitty Merrill

A public hearing on the purchase of vacant land on the Napeague Stretch prompted harsh words from East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson earlier this month. He defended the open space acquisition program under his leadership.

But first, board members had to defend the purchase.

The town is looking to use $400,000 from the Community Preservation Fund, plus $350,000 from an anonymous donor to buy almost two acres of property on the south side on Montauk Highway in Amagansett.

According to Scott Wilson, town director of land acquisition and management, the property, which adjoins already protected open space, is recommended for public acquisition because it features dune lands and is flood prone.

“The parcel adds to the character of the neighborhood in the area of Montauk Highway that is known for the secondary dunes that remain in pristine condition throughout the area,” he said.

It’s also partially within the LWRP Napeague Reach Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitat and contains DEC freshwater wetlands.

“For these reasons, not to mention the participation of a donor for a large percentage of the purchase price, this is a strong candidate for acquisition,” he said.

Board critic David Buda wasn’t so sure. During the public hearing, he questioned why the land was slated for inclusion in the CPF Plan and purchase at the same time. It’s not a long-standing planned purchase, he pointed out.

Additionally Buda looked askance at the use of a private donor to fund almost half the price tag. It’s adjacent to the Windward Shores co-op he said, wondering whether the donor is a neighbor looking to

The Picture of Success Starts Here.

“sanitize” the area and whether the deal will just benefit a neighbor.

What, if any, interest did the townappointed CPF committee have in the land, he queried.

It was pointed out that the property came to the attention of the committee because it recently went on the market. Wilkinson reported the committee listed it as “a priority.”

The price is “almost a steal,” Buda acknowledged, continuing to voice skepticism about the donor’s motivation.

The supervisor didn’t contest the potential benefit to the adjacent landowner, but Councilwoman Sylvia Overby noted “Open space is a benefit to all of us.”

“It wouldn’t be a test of anybody’s imagination,” Wilkinson offered, “that if you had a two-acre open parcel on Napeague, you’d try to pick it up to keep it open.”

Emphasizing the “great deal financially,” Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc asked, “Why wouldn’t we buy it, especially when we’re sitting on $42 million?”

Noting his days at the helm were numbered, Wilkinson reacted. “We haven’t been sitting on anything,” he retorted. “We have moved on every property recommended by the committee. This campaign banter about us sitting on money is just ridiculous.”

Asked for the latest update on CPF money this week, Wilson offered “round numbers.” There’s $47 million in the bank with $8 million encumbered. The town’s spent about $5.6 million on closings with “a few still to come,” he said.

Another half million has been spent on stewardship expenses, the bulk of which covers the completion of the historic Lester house. Under CPF law, the town may use up to 10 percent of annual revenue

We’re lending to local businesses.

Experienced lenders.

on stewardship and management costs.

So far this year, just two-percent has been expended.

According to data compiled by Assemblyman Fred Thiele, the author of legislation creating the CPF, revenue in East Hampton is up more than 53 percent – at almost $21 million for the first nine months of 2013-- over what was collected last year.

The five East End towns collect CPF money through a two-percent transfer tax on most real estate transaction.

Thiele noted that at the 3/4 of the year mark revenues were on track to produce between $85 and $90 million across the region, the highest annual total since 2007, “before the Great Recession.”

Later on the night of November 7 following the public hearing, the board voted to move forward with the acquisition. Councilwoman Theresa Quigley cast the sole dissenting vote. She feels the money could be put to better use elsewhere. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

RICK’S SPACE Miley Cyrus Speaks Out First of all I want to clear one thing up once and for all. I mean, like, I am not a little slut. Okay? But I’m not afraid to twerk it y’all.

Apparently, this vicious rumor has been making the rounds ever since I did my dance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

When I was dancing with Robin Thicke I did some outlandish things like stripping down to almost nothing, wagging my tongue at him and on him, and rubbing my bootie

in his face. I don’t know what else I have to do to be recognized for what I am – I’m a big slut!

Look, when I first started on “Hannah Montana” I was little. I wasn’t even a slut – hell, I was only 14 – ok, maybe I was a little slut, but don’t tell my dad.

I was also little, like you know, height and weight wise. I didn’t even have boobies. Now I wouldn’t say I have big bobbies, but I have boobies – two of them. I know you

know, because I keep showing them to everybody.

My sluttiness grew in direct proportion to my tongue over the years. That thing is like a freaking serpent’s now, I can catch flies and stuff with it. I once French kissed a boy in geometry class while I was in the remedial English room next door.

Back in my Hannah days I didn’t act like the little pig I really was because of Mr. Disney. I had a very strict clause in my contract stating I had to be wholesome, a regular Tinker Freaking Bell.

From what I could figure Walt Disney himself is kept under ice and he can see everything that is going on. He’s kind of like god, omnipotent, which I think means he was a real stud back when he was, you know, a slut.

Every year all of the stars would put on a show for him called “Walt Disney On Ice” to celebrate his birthday. He’s probably really cold – I think I might get him a sweater for his next birthday. (I was thinking I could lick him but my tongue might stick to him.)

I was really hurt by all the criticism about my performance on the award show. My dad tried to cheer me up – he told me my mom was a slut, and that made me feel good. “Did people say she was a little slut, Daddy?

“No,” he assured me. “Your mom was a huge slut.” That made me feel better.

The critics even bashed my new album, Bangerz. No one seemed to know what the title referred to . . . jeez! Ever hear of gang bangerz?

Hello? I mean, how stupid can they be?

I get my thick skin from my dad.

Most of you probably never heard of him – Billy Ray Cyrus -- but he was hot once. That was like, a million years ago. But that man can write a song. When you read how profound my lyrics are you’ll see where the inspiration came from.

Here is something he wrote for me when I was a little girl: You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg Or tell your brother Cliff, who’s fist can tell my lips He never really liked me anyway But don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart I just don’t think it’d understand And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart He might blow up and kill this man Ooo Every time I used to hear it I’d start crying. “Please don’t move to Arkansas, Pa,” I’d cry out. Then my Ma would tell me Pa left the family when I was like four months-old. I also didn’t have a dog, or a brother Cliff. Ma said Pa was probably writing for his other family, the one in Arkansas. The important thing is now we see each other all the time – as soon as he read I was worth about 100 million bucks, he came home.

Now I’m in trouble again because I lit up a joint onstage at the European MTV awards. I mean, what is the big deal about that?

All musicians take drugs – look at all them old jazz guys. They got so stoned they couldn’t remember any lyrics and so they just played music with no words. And Ray Charles took so much drugs he went blind.

Jeez, I bet that happens to Bieber!

Anyhows, I’m gonna keep twerkin,’ twittin’ and wearing that giant hand I used on the MTV show to almost sodomize Thicke, armed with the knowledge that as screwed up as I am I’ll never be able to hold a candle to Lady Gaga. I mean, that ho has some real issues. What’s wrong with her?

EDITORIAL

Déjà vu All Over Again Voters in the Southampton School District soundly rejected a proposal that called for the merger of that school district with its Tuckahoe counterpart. It was no surprise – taxpayers in Southampton would have to shoulder a significant tax increase if the merger became a reality.

So why, according to published reports, are the two school districts still discussing a merger – in executive sessions, no less? After all, the public has spoken loud and clear.

This situation is similar to one that exists in Springs, where school taxes are significantly higher than in contiguous districts. Springs school officials and residents have repeatedly floated the idea of a merger – for 25 years – and for good reason: their taxes would decrease, as would be the case in Tuckahoe.

As has happened in East Hampton, the two districts are pointing out financial aid and tax breaks may be available. Assemblyman Fred Thiele and State Senator Ken LaValle, when quizzed, have said there are usually funds available in Albany for such mergers – but when pressed, they acknowledge there is nowhere near enough money to offset the inequities.

The truth is, property owners in Southampton and East Hampton districts on

Bow Our Heads

Dear Editor, Wh e re a re Se n a to r Sc h u m e r ’s priorities? By endorsing Hillary Clinton for president in the next election he completely ignores that her actions in the Bengazi tragedy, which were reprehensible and not deserving of a public official, much less President of the United States.

When questioned about her inaction during this event under her jurisdiction as Secretary of State her reply was “What difference does it make?”

Someone, including Senator Schumer, should have reminded her until Bengazi we never let our soldiers die without immediate intervention to do everything to save them. If that help arrives too late, which is questionable in this case, strong retaliation always followed suit.

Veteran’s Day was a strong reminder to

those of us that served in the military of the Combat Code of The U.S. Military. “We don’t abandon our dead or wounded in the battlefield.” In this case our Ambassador, his assistant and two brave Navy Seals that gave their lives to try and save them.

By totally ignoring this tragic event in our history the Senator and the aspiring President must assume that most Americans forgive and forget. Not in this case as millions of us still bow our heads in shame remembering the loss of these Patriots without any action on the part of those in charge.

MARTY ORENSTEIN

Excited About The Future Dear Rick, Thankfully my campaign ended with a victory. It is always good when hard work is rewarded by attaining the goal, in this case, winning a seat on our Town Board. I certainly did not do it alone; and I would like to sincerely thank all of the voters who went to the polls and voted for me. My

the average have paid far more for their homes than in neighboring districts to the north. Yes, their school taxes are proportionately lower, but the overall cost of home ownership dollarwise is much higher when mortgage payments and the like are factored in.

More to the point, though, it’s the law. Residents of each school district decide their own fate. Each of us made the decision to purchase our homes knowing what school district they were in.

We don’t blame Tuckahoe residents for being disappointed, but we chastise the Southampton School Board for continuing this charade. Suggestion to school board members: You were elected by the people to represent the people. The people have spoken loud and clear. Tell your school administrators to end the merger discussions, period.

Yes, economies of scale can be achieved by consolidation. But there are a lot of little school districts that have forged their own identity and want to keep it that way. Our school administrators must look away from mergers that will likely never be approved by voters and towards shared services, bulk purchases, and a regional administration office to cut costs – for all taxpayers, regardless of what district they reside in.

thanks also go out to all my friends, family and campaign team for their support and the many hours they tirelessly put in working toward my election.

While my campaign meant long days and non-stop schedules, it also gave me the opportunity to meet so many of the East Hampton residents I will be representing come January 1. People generously greeted me at their homes, and offered encouragement and support at delis and post offices, when they stopped to talk with me and tell me their concerns.

I must also congratulate all the other winners who were elected along with me.

I am excited about the future work I will be doing with the new administration. Clearly, as we all learned from the numerous forums and debates we participated in, there are many important issues facing the Town, which the new Town Board must tackle and resolve.

There is one thing I know for sure and that is that I will never waver in my promise to represent all East Hampton Town residents with honor and integrity.

I am grateful for the opportunity you have given me to continue my work for the community that has been my life-long home.

Dear Rick, November 21 is our own “D” day in East Hampton. The outgoing board members, who all along have disregarded the people to favor their special interest groups, are at it again. One parting shot and thumb in the eye of every resident of the town.

A hearing on capital expenditures, for the town airport and a back door attempt and seeking FAA funding to keep us as indentured servants, for another 20 years is in their agenda. Payback for the 15 vote landslide that kept Wilkinson in office.

Right, Tommy boy?

I urge town residents to attend the hearing at town hall, to prevent the stacking of the deck by Tom Twomey et al.

This is an attempt to keep us as indentured servants for another 20 years – currently the expiration (December 2014) of the grant assurances that come with accepting FAA funding will allow us to take control of the facility to lessen the impact on daily living.

Three million for an abandoned runway that the FAA labeled as unnecessary and dangerous? The FAA is quoted as stating it will not contribute any funding for a tertiary runway it considers unnecessary “based upon historical wind conditions runway 16/34 offers better marginal coverage.” Over $900,000 for lighting construction and design for a taxiway that is now an operational runway?

In case Wilkinson, Quigley and Stanzione don’t know it, “we are the special interest group” that needs to be served.

The melting ice could open up the Arctic Ocean to new shipping routes between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans which will cut 4,500 miles off the shipping lanes. The Arctic area contains a vast amount of oil and natural gas to be discovered and processed into energy.

Russia is restoring an old military base on the New Siberian Islands, off Eastern Siberia. A garrison is stationed there, and an airfield and naval facilities are under construction. President Putin wants to use the base to enhance Russia’s economic and security interests in the Arctic. Russia is also constructing a number of new ports in the Arctic and building nine new icebreakers to supplement 10 existing icebreakers.

The U.S. Navy lacks facilities in Alaska and does not have icebreakers. It has to rely on old USCG icebreakers for support.

The U.S. should evaluate the feasibility of constructing infrastructure in the Arctic and look at the possibility of establishing joint facilities with Canada. We need to bolster our complement of icebreakers.

Surfrider Appointments The Eastern Long Island Chapter of Surfrider Foundation appointed Juliana Duryea and Mike Bottini as their new cochairs and Stephen Mahoney as the vice-chair at its fall meeting.

Field Hockey

Continued from page 4.

Gilbride, off a pass from Matthers, broke free. On a team full of stars, Gilbride shines the brightest. She will attend Richmond on a field hockey scholarship, and during the offseason competes on the Junior National Team. Simply put, in sports parlance, Gilbride is a superstar at this level. ”This is it,” thought Judge. Revenge was at hand for Gilbride. She drove off the right wing, drew a horde of defenders, and suddenly, with the flick of a wrist, sent a reverse into the left corner of the net. It was golden.

The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.

New Boating Retailer Sea Tow Services International, the nation’s leading marine assistance provider, recently announced its partnership with the new online boating and marine supplies retailer, Built for Boating (builtforboating.com). This unique, multifaceted partnership provides exclusive discounts and other benefits to registered Sea Tow members when they shop for marine products on Built for Boating’s website, and adds another venue where boaters may purchase a Sea Tow Gold Card membership.

Built for Boating (BFB) is a new online marine retailer founded by Jay Jolly, drawing on his more than 25 years of experience in leading national outdoor retail outlets as former Vice President of Boater’s World. last year,” the coach said. For Judge, it was the culmination of sevenyear coaching career. The state championship, she said, “has always been a personal goal of mine.”

The exhausted players suddenly found a second wind, jumping, giddily embracing, cradling their gold medals. It was a moment in time that will be frozen forever in their memories, a realization that a bond now existed between them that can never be broken. It was, said Judge, “magical.”

In addition to the players mentioned above the 2013 Class C New York State Champions are Kirra McGowin, Emma Romeo. Rachel Miller, Phiona Vall, Sheila Mackey, Cassandra Spencer, Kerrie Vila, Calista Cafiero, Ana Sherwood, and Hollie Schleicher.

Gilbride, Hemby, Matthers, Luck, McGowin and Romeo are seniors.

ALMANAC October 2013 – Storm Free The past month of October was so beautiful in many respects it is hard to realize just how fortunate we have been. First, there were no heavy rains, therefore no flooded cellars, no washouts, or deep gullies in our large potato fields, no gullies that eroded severely for public transportation.

Our roads, walkways and cellars were all spared a flood, yet during our next month it could happen.

Total precipitation for October was 0.15 of an inch. Highest temperature for October was 79 degrees on the 4th. Lowest was 25 degrees on the 26th.

November should give us cooler weather, heavier rainfall, cloudier days and stronger winds.

for everything! Let one Republican say something out of line all hell breaks loose.

If you go to the history of Detroit you will find how great this city was, how rich it was at one time, but look at it now and why . . . Democrats, spending and corruption, AND unions broke this city and now that DeBlasio won in NYC it will be the next Detroit. Look at his campaign promises -- take a good look at them.

Timely Story Ms. Merrill, Thank you for your excellent and timely cover story about the need at the food pantries in town.

I am the convener for the East Hampton Clericus, the interfaith clergy association of the religious congregations in town. We lead these congregations: Jewish Center of the Hamptons, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, Most Holy Trinity RC Church, East Hampton First Presbyterian Church, Methodist Church, Springs Community church, St. Michael’s Lutheran Church, Amagansett Presbyterian Church, Montauk Community Church, St. Therese of Lisieux RC Church.

My colleagues want you to know that our congregations all support the food pantries by collecting and passing on nonperishable food, and by cash donations.

This Sunday at 4 PM we are hosting our annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Amagansett.

The offering taken at this service each year is shared among the various food pantries.

All are invited to attend.

Patricia Bunce, former long-time resident of Cosdrew Lane in East Hampton, passed away peacefully at home in Lady Lake, Florida, comforted by family on November 7, after a brave battle with cancer.

Born Patricia A. Needham on March 30, 1936 in Queens, NY, she eventually met Albert J. Bunce, by whom she is survived, on a blind date. That blind date resulted in a 61-

year marriage. Together they had five children, Robin Sheperd (Donny Sr.) of East Quogue and North Carolina, Michael Sr. (Jeannie) of Water Mill, Kevin Sr. (Meg) of East Hampton and Keith (Lynne) of East Hampton and North Carolina.

A son, Bruce, predeceased her in June. She is also survived by a brother, James Needham (Linda) of Farmingdale and was predeceased by an older brother, John.

Patricia was blessed with eight

grandchildren: John, Amy, Michael Jr. (and fiancée, Emily Ward), Christopher, Robert, Kevin Jr., Georgia, Donny Jr. and two great-grandchildren, Jack and Steve, and many nieces, nephews and friends.

When they moved to East Hampton in 1967, it was at home with her husband and their five children where “Pat,” as she was known to all, first met her dear friend Mary Humphreys, of East Hampton. Mary recalls her husband, Ron, coming home one day telling her that she “had to meet this family” he had recently met.

Mary fondly recalls arriving at the Bunce residence seeing “boys running all over the place” and only daughter,

Robin, amidst the organized chaos.

It was the start of a friendship that would last over four decades. Mrs. Humphreys added, “If there were any words to describe how Pat touched so many lives and why she had so many friends from all walks of life, it was due to her unique and special ability of accepting people for whom they were. She was a very special person and friend.”

Daughter Robin, who left North Carolina to help care for her mother for the duration of her illness, attributes the love and support she was given throughout her life to having made her, “the daughter, mother and sister” that she is today.

When her children were old enough, Pat went to work for the East Hampton School District where she stayed for over 13 years, starting at the Middle School and eventually moving to the High School, where she served as secretary to then- assistant principal William Keck. During that time she was also bookkeeper for her family-owned construction business, Al Bunce and Sons, Inc. Upon her retirement from the school, she partnered in the family’s former water and coffee distributing business, Long Island Coffee Co., Inc. She and her husband relocated to Florida in 2006 where the lure of warmer weather, a smaller, more manageable home, and peaceful retirement awaited. There she made new friends to add to the many she kept in touch with in East Hampton.

“A fiercely loyal and unconditionally loving mother, mother-in-law, ‘Nana’ to her grandchildren, and friend, allin-one,” recalls daughter-in-law, Meg. “It is impossible to sum up what she’s meant to us, or to those whose lives she has been part of in so many ways. She was someone who enjoyed life and everyone in her life. Raising five children, she rolled with the punches to say the least . . . and never missed a beat.”

A private service prior to cremation was held at her home with family and friends on Sunday, Nov. 10, officiated by Pastor Charlie Rumpel of the Weirsdale Presbyterian Church, Weirsdale, Fla. A memorial service for both Pat and son Bruce will be held together in East Hampton in 2014.

Riverhead Advances To County Title Game

By Rick Murphy

Riverhead continued its inexorable quest for the Suffolk County title Saturday, besting Newfield 34-20. The Blue Waves, seeking their second consecutive Division II crown, once again showed their ability to adapt to game conditions, adjust the offense and defense as needed, and then put their opponent away.

The one ingredient that never changes, though, is Jeremiah Cheatom. There is one certainty, one constant in every game Riverhead plays – Coach Bill Hedges and company are going to feed Cheatom the pigskin, and the talented tailback is going to churn out yardage.

Newfield did not make it easy on the locals. After falling behind 12-0 in the first quarter the visitors stormed back to take a 20-19 halftime lead, one coming on a run by the talented

fullback Joe Saladino. Up until that point the Wolverines had kept Cheatom in check, though the youngster scored on a nine-yard run in the first stanza.

Credit quarterback Kenny Simco, who played a near perfect game. His 36-yard pass to Daren Jefferson in the second quarter served notice to the visitors -- the Wolverines were forced to respect the Riverhead air attack, and Cheatom took full advantage.

A relentless, 99-yard drive ended with Cheatoms’s 22-yard touchdown run early in the final stanza. Minutes later, the knockout punch: a 79-yard run through and over the tiring Newfield defense – by Jeremiah, of course.

Simco finished a remarkable 9 of 10 passing, good for 123 yards. Cheatom racked up 221 yards rushing and tallied three touchdowns. Unsung hero Mike Van

Bommel was singled out by Hedges for his work on the defensive side, as was tackle John Lee. The pair combined for 20 tackles.

The title game will take place Friday night at 7:30 at Stony Brook

University. Fittingly, the opponent will be third seeded East Islip (8-2) a team that it just so happens dealt the locals their only defeat of the season 50-36. Revenge will be on the menu.

Continued from page 8. trip in December 2011.

Similarly, Congressman Bill Owens was deemed to be guilty of the same offense, but he repaid the $22,000 cost of the trip before the inquiry and thus was not sanctioned.

The Office of Congressional Ethics, after an investigation, issued a report to the House Committee recommending it extend the investigations. However, in these two cases the House Committee opted to end both matters.

The news has local relevance because the OCE, an independent body that conducts its own investigations, also recommended the House Committee investigate Bishop, who represents the East End. In fact, the OCE issued its

REAL ESTATE

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

findings about Bishop and Roskam on the same day last July.

The OCE investigation concluded Bishop sought a campaign contribution in connection with an official act – helping secure the fireworks permit for Semler, who went to Sillerman first. It was Sillerman who initially contacted Bishop about doing Semler a favor.

“There is substantial reason to believe . . . violations of federal law occurred,” the OCE concluded.

B i sh o p h a s sp e nt a t lea s t $80,000 on legal fees, much of it in an attempt to get the House Committee to drop its review of the OCE findings. Bishop hired the high profile law firm of Perkins Cole in an attempt to refute the findings of the OCE. Perkins Cole petitioned the House Committee On Ethics to close the matter but was unsuccessful -- unlike the Roskam matter, the Bishop case remains under review.

NFL Must Avoid Expanded Playoffs

Television ratings, attendance, and radio talk show listenership have proven that people can’t get enough of the National Football League. As a result, those inside NFL Headquarters at 345 Park Avenue have laid out a proposal to add two more teams to the current playoff format beginning in 2015.

While this proposal took place earlier in the fall, the progression of the 2013 season has proven that the playoffs should not be altered.

Locally, the Jets and Giants are still in the playoff hunt heading into week 12. Any objective football fan would agree that both are, at best, mediocre teams. Not only are they average, the Giants began their season at 0-6, and yet they are a game and a half back in the division. In fact, the NFL can be defined this season by the word “mediocrity.”

The Chiefs, Broncos, Seahawks and Saints are really good. Otherwise, the league is average. Now average has given us plenty of unpredictable outcomes. But, adding more teams to the playoff pool, would reward mediocrity and continue to lower the chances for the best teams to reach a Super Bowl.

For example, the Buffalo Bills beat the Jets on Sunday to improve to 4-7.

They have the third record in the AFC, but are just a game and a half back of the final playoff spot! Eight teams in the AFC have a record of either 5-5 or 4-6. It’s similar in the NFC, where half the conference has a record between 4-6 and 6-4. The season is nearly two thirds complete, and there are only five teams, the Texans, Jaguars, Falcons, Bucaneers, and Vikings, that are completely out of the playoff hunt.

Adding two teams to the playoffs would put more dollars in the pockets of the league and owners, but would not enhance the fan’s experience.

Since the NFL has a hard salary cap that teams must stay under, along with a salary floor, the league is built to have parity. Unlike the NBA, and to a lesser extent MLB, every NFL fan base can find optimism heading into each season.

Who could have predicted the Chiefs would be 9-1? While playoff favorites, the Texans and Falcons, are a combined 4-16. Adding the Miami Dolphins, or Oakland Raiders in the AFC Playoffs, or the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC, would bring in money, but dilute the regular season product.

A diminished regular season product is a problem the NBA can

relate to. The regular season is too long, and the playoffs invite too many participants. Therefore, the regular season rarely catches fans’ interest as much as it deserves. Yes, expanding the playoffs may mean an extra week 17 game with meaning.

Even with the NFL proposal of only one team in each conference getting a playoff bye, there will still be top teams that have nothing to play for in their final couple of weeks. Rather than showcasing and rewarding the best of the best, the NFL would rather shove more mediocrity down our throats in

www.indyeastend.com

exchange for more dollars.

Additionally, what’s the cost to the players and separately, the league’s reputation, by putting two more teams in the playoffs? The NFL has continued reminding us they want to improve player safety and decrease dangerous plays. Potentially replacing a preseason game with another playoff game means more hits, and likely bigger hits. Hypocrisy much?

November 20, 2013

I love the NFL, and I want to see it continue to thrive. But despite what those at 345 Park Ave believe, you can have too much of a good thing.
