Veteran’s Day: Honoring Those Who Served
Vets Display “Visual Valor” By Kitty Merrill
What happens to soldiers after they lay down their weapons and come home? How can they express the panoply of intense experiences and feelings that, for some veterans and sometimes for years, can fester and scar more harshly than any shrapnel wound? Art has long been considered a valuable therapeutic outlet for soldiers. According to Lauren Hagemann, project coordinator for the Veterans Health Alliance of Long Island’s Resiliency & Recovery Initiative for Military Families, “The creative arts have proven to be a transformative activity that has helped our nation’s heroes with issues related to readjustment and emotional expression.” This week, VHALI collaborates with the Quogue Library to present “Visual Valor,” the Alliance’s first exhibit of veterans’ artwork. Hagemann is currently working on her PhD in psychology. She said
this week that she’s always been very intrigued by how vets use art to deal with the symptoms of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. A volunteer at the Quogue Library, she thought the facility’s exhibit space would be a perfect venue for the Alliance’s first show. “I approached the director and she was all for it,” Hagemann explained. About 20 pieces, a mix of artwork painted for both recreational and therapeutic purposes, comprise the exhibit. There are fine pieces a l o n g s i d e “r o u g h s k e t c h e s” completed during military wellness exercises. The Alliance’s outreach mission includes interacting with the veteran’s home in Stony Brook. Thanks to that collaboration, “Visual Valor” will include pieces by elderly artists who served in World War II and Korea as well as “really raw material” crafted by veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq, Hagemann reported. Long Island has the second

largest veteran population in the United States and is home to 138,000 veterans. As the country wraps up its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the significant public health issues related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injur y will return home with many of the returning troops, according to statistics compiled by the Foundation for Art & Healing. While veterans of past wars also suffered from the symptoms of what we now know as PTSD – nightmares, anxiety, depression, flashbacks, hyper-vigilance, and hyper-arousal – the statistics from Iraq and Afghanistan are startling: • 2.2 million served in Iraq or Afghanistan • One in five returning veterans suffer from PTSD, and lacking treatment, the number could be as high as 1 in 3 (2008 RAND study) or 440,000 to 770,000 service people with PTSD • 3400 suicides by active duty service personnel (one suicide every 36 hours) • One third of military spouses report depression, anxiety, and
other mental health disorders “As we face the growing public health challenge of PTSD/TBI, exploring new paths to progress is essential,” the Foundation’s website asserts. “Creative expression based programs are one such path.” Formed under the umbrella of the Mental Health Association of Nassau County, the Alliance’s mission is “to promote the health and well-being of Long Island veterans and their family members through advocacy, and a broad array of services.” This spring it will host a statewide veterans mental health and recovery conference. The Veterans Health Alliance also aims to provide a wide range of services to family members, spouses and children. These resources include support groups led by fellow military family members and spouses, community networking events that focus on self-care, fun events for families and children, and trainings geared toward wellness and suicide recognition.

I’M DEPRESSED Have you ever had your spouse come up to you and ask, “Are you depressed?” I don’t get depressed, but that doesn’t stop my wife, the beautiful Judy Licht, from occasionally playing the “depression card.” I am, by nature, a happy, slightly smug sort of a guy. However, unless I’m smiling like an idiot every second of every minute of every hour of the day, Judy says, “You’re depressed.”
“No, I’m not,” I answer with a smile. “Yes, you are,” she insists. “Is it age-related?” “Okay, okay, you’re right,” I answer. “I’m depressed and it’s agerelated. This morning I looked in the mirror and realized I have reached that age and stage where the hair in my ears is growing faster than the hair on my head. That is, if I had hair on my head.” Then she said, “Making jokes like that is a sure sign that you’re depressed.” “Okay,” I answered. “If it will make you happy, I’m going to work on being depressed just so you stop bothering me.” So I found out that if you work at it, you too can be depressed. Here’s the depression list I made today: I’m depressed because Barack

Obama apparently did not have enough class to invite two Kenyans from his father’s homeland – Geoffrey Mutai and Priscah Jeptoo, the man and woman who came in first in Sunday’s New York City Marathon – to the White House for a good old-fashioned Kenyan celebration. I’m depressed because Michael Bloomberg, one of New York City’s great mayors, is leaving and he’s about to be replaced by a Commie, pinko, bed-wetting freak. I’m depressed because after this year’s election New York City is about to go back to the dark ages with Bill de Blasio as our mayor. I’m depressed because a great man like Police Commissioner Ray Kelly will be replaced by some political hack. I’m depressed because in the end those “Occupy Wall Street” idiots have won. New York is doomed. I’m depressed that there are still some smart, decent people (many of them good Democrats) who actually believed Obama when he said that under Obamacare if they liked their insurance carrier and their current doctor they could keep them, PERIOD. Soon Obama will say that he “misspoke.” Don’t believe that for a second. He out-and-out lied. I’m depressed because Obamacare is the first step in the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of our nation. I’m depressed because Obama’s nose doesn’t grow like Pinocchio’s every time he lies. I’m depressed because if Obama ran for the Presidency tomorrow, he would, once again, win easily.

I’m depressed because my football Giants suck and they won’t be a good football team again until they fire their lame, knucklehead defensive coach Perry Fewell. I’m depressed because for the second week in a row I have allowed Judy to talk me into going to the beloved East Hampton Cinema to see a horrible movie that I had no intention of seeing. First there was The Counselor, which had no redeeming value except for the wild sex scene in the first four minutes of the film. This week she pushed me into seeing Twelve Years a Slave, a movie I vowed to never see. So I went because I’m a wuss. Twelve Years a Slave is about a disgusting period in our history. Seeing the horror that blacks had to endure 153 years ago will rightly inflame blacks who see this movie today. That’s sad because if we need anything now it’s not more anger but better understanding and more love between races. There is nothing in this film that Harriet Beecher Stowe didn’t cover when she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin. She exposed slavery and was a pivotal figure in ending it. Twelve Years a Slave will change nothing -- it’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin on steroids. There are scenes of brutality and whipping that only a sadist could find worth watching. I kept my eyes closed through three-fourths of the film. I’m sorry I went. Don’t make the same mistake. So I just showed my depression list to Judy. She thinks I should seek some help.

Veteran’s Day: Honoring Those Who Served
Helping - And Thanking - Vets By Kitty Merrill
As Veteran’s Day approached this week, Assemblyman Fred Thiele offered an update about the latest initiatives geared towards helping those who served. “There are few images more powerful than those of soldiers returning home to their loved ones,” the Assemblyman observed. “Each year on November 11, our nation
observes Veterans Day to honor and thank the men and women who sacrificed so much for our country. In addition to recognizing them on this day, I’ve supported efforts to help those who have left active duty search for a job.” Last year, the unemployment rate for vets between the ages of 18 and 24 topped 20 percent. The number is expected to surge as close to a million service members
prepare to exit the armed forces over the next five years. In an already-tough job market, vets have difficulty transferring skills they learned during military service to the civilian workplace. According to Thiele, the good news is that many companies and government agencies are working to bridge the gap by learning how to read military resumes and facilitating programs to hire vets.
A day at the beach. A night out dancing. A weekend away. There are plenty of reasons to learn more about the Center for Advanced Wound Healing. Don’t let a wound that won’t heal slow you down. Southampton Hospital is the only location on the East End with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, proven to reduce healing time. Call 631.726.3300 to schedule a consultation.

“I’m working in the Assembly to help our veterans find goodpaying jobs,” he continued. Thiele has supported several measures including tax credits for small businesses that hire veterans and the passage of the Veterans Employment Act, which would require the state to develop a list of eligible veterans who would be given priority for temporary staffing jobs in state agencies. The Veterans Employment Act passed both state houses – the assembly and the senate. To recognize and thank returning heroes for all they’ve done, Thiele supported the implementation of a speaker education program that allows veterans to share their experiences and provide information on American military history. “A d d i t i o n a l l y, ” h e s a i d , “I supported a bill that would recognize the many contributions of veterans of the Cold War era by awarding each with a state Cold War Certificate (A.5890, passed both houses) and supported a law that establishes a process to determine the best site for a state veterans’ cemetery.” Still another law Thiele helped pass requires the state Division of Veterans’ Affairs to provide an Internet connection to correlate military occupations and skills into civilian translations and terms. “This Veteran’s Day, make sure to take time out to reflect on all that our brave heroes sacrificed for our freedom - and thank them,” he concluded. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Veteran’s Day: Honoring Those Who Served
Vets’ Events
By Kitty Merrill
Famed for aphorisms, Jose Narosky wrote, “In war, there are no unwounded soldiers.” On November 11, the nation remembers its veterans with solemn ceremonies and parades. On the East End, Veteran’s Day is acknowledged with a variety of special events, including those noted below. Tomorrow night at 7 PM the Hampton Bays Library hosts Jen-
nifer Scorey-Vogt. She will discuss her 10 years in the Army National Guard. She was deployed to Iraq in 2005 and her most recent assignment was working with a team that trained soldiers for overseas deployment. She was a Non-Commissioned Officer in the Army, holding the rank of Sergeant, which gave her the opportunity to lead soldiers in varied situations. She will share photos from Iraq and her experi-
ences as a female in the military. On Saturday from noon to 1 PM, the Westhampton Library welcomes Ham Andon. He is returning to the library to share his experiences and some of the events that shaped his life and his book, One Man’s Journey: World War II. On Monday The Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events will be hosting Veteran’s Day services at 11 AM in Agawam Park in Southampton. A parade will precede the services at 10:45 AM. It starts at the First Presbyterian Church on South Main Street and continues down Jobs Lane to Agawam Park. All veterans are invited to participate. Refreshments will follow at the

In Sag Harbor, at 9:30 AM following Monday’s parade, Assemblyman Fred Thiele will present a proclamation honoring Sag Harbor’s heroic moment in the War of 1812 to Mayor Brian Gilbride and Dockmaster David Thommen at the American Legion on Bay Street. In East Hampton, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, Everit Albert Herter Post 550 hosts its annual Veteran’s Day Parade at 10 AM Monday. The parade starts at the old VFW building (now London Jewelers) and proceeds down Main Street to the memorial on the green for a short ceremony. Following the parade, attendees are invited to American Legion Post 419 in Amagansett for a ceremony commencing at 11 AM. In commemoration of Veteran’s Day, the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons will be holding a program on “The Changing Role of Women in the Military: Viet Nam to Afghanistan” next Tuesday. The meeting, which is free and open to the public, takes place at 7 PM at the Hampton Bays Public Library, 52 Ponquogue Avenue, with refreshments served beforehand at 6:45 PM. Speakers will include LWV Board member and Southampton resident Susan Wilson, who will give a brief history of the role of women in the military and share some of her experiences as a non-deployed Navy veteran of the Viet Nam War. She will be followed by Susan Soto, the newly-appointed Commander of VFW Post 7009 in Southampton, who will speak of her experiences as a deployed veteran of The Gulf War. Commander Soto will be installed during a ceremony at 7 PM on November 13 at the Cultural Center in Southampton Village. The event is free and open to the public.

State’s First Female Native American Post Commander When she’s installed next week, Sue Soto will make history. New York State’s first female Native American to helm a VFW post is from right here in Southampton. Soto grew up on the Shinnecock Reservation and joined the Air Force in 1982. Serving for a decade, she worked in the Intelligence section and deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. Once she mustered out, Soto travelled with her husband who remained on active duty in the army. She came back home in 2000 and joined VFW Post 7009 in Southampton. With just a few words, she characterized the impending installation, which will boast VFW bigwigs from across the state, and her ascension to the helm as “interesting.” The installation ceremony will be held on November 13 at 7 PM at the Southampton Cultural Center. The public is invited to attend. The night before at 7 PM at the Hampton Bays Library, Soto will detail her wartime experience during the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons panel discussion on the changing role of women in the military.

Lighthouse Lantern Lifted By Kitty Merrill
The metal structure atop the Cedar Island Lighthouse, aka the lantern, embarked on a voyage last Thursday. The first phase of a total restoration of the lighthouse entailed lifting the lantern with a crane, placing it on a barge and sailing to Long Wharf in Sag Harbor, where the beacon’s home took a ride to the Sag Harbor Yacht Yard for evaluation and restoration. According to a release from the Long Island Chapter of the United States Lighthouse Society, the “lift off” was made possible thanks to Chesterfield Associates
and Bob Coco’s Construction donating their time and talent. The process last week was “textbook,” said restoration committee chair Michael Leahy. Built as an aid to whaling ships headed to Sag Harbor, the Cedar Island Lighthouse was decommissioned in 1934. Phelan Beale, the husband of Edie Beale of Grey Gardens fame, purchased the landmark, which stayed under private ownership until it became part of Suffolk County’s park system in the 1960s. A fire gutted the lighthouse in 1974 and it’s been boarded up and deteriorating ever

since. The light was originally built on a three-acre island. In 1938 the great hurricane created a sandbar connecting Cedar Island with the mainland in the area now known as Cedar Point. During the period from 1798 to 1912, 22 lighthouses were built from Queens to Montauk Point; 20 of them remain today. Most have been restored and some are in private hands. The Cedar Island Lighthouse is one of the few remaining historic lighthouses still waiting to be saved. Suffolk County Parks has authorized the Long Island Chapter of the

Although it was over a year ago, much of the Hamptons waterfront is still in recover y following Superstorm Sandy. So with that in mind, last week about 45 volunteers from three organizations all gathered together to complete a re-vegetation of dunes at Tiana Beach in Hampton Bays. About 30,000 seagrass plants were installed to help bolster dune structures behind, as well as to the east and west of the Tiana Beach pavilion. Seagrass was also planted at the rain garden at the south end of Lake Agawam in Southampton Village. The roots of the beach grass grow down into the sand, forming a web that anchors and reinforces the dune structures. The plants also trap windblown sediments, helping to keep the sand contained.
Additionally, Southampton Town installed snow fencing along the beach to help stabilize and build up the dunes. “Though we were fortunate in many ways on the East End, our shorelines took a battering during Hurricane Sandy and we’re still grappling with the resulting damage and erosion,” said Councilman Chris Nuzzi, who also serves as the town’s liaison to the Parks and Recreation Department. “It’s vital that we strengthen and nurture our protective dune systems, particularly along Dune Road, which serves as the barrier to our inland structures.” In conjunction with
in the effort was the Independent Group Home Living organization, which assisted in completing the project on October 28.
Southampton Town, the effort was spearheaded by Romi Sloan and Kym Smith, founders of the Hamptons Hurricane Relief Fund. HHRF has mostly concentrated its efforts on helping hard-hit areas, such as the Rockaways. “We decided because it was almost a year working outside of our area, we wanted to do something in the town where we live,” Smith said. HHRF partnered with NY Media, a Manhattan based organization comprised of individuals in the media industr y who provide hands on hurricane relief services, according to a press release from town hall.

war more furiously perhaps with my paintbrush than with my weapons.” A Bronze Star recipient, Reep taught painting and drawing in colleges in South Carolina and California after he returned home from the war. Released in 2000, the documentary revealed the stories of WWII combat artists, a cadre of 100 artists and civilians who chronicled the war through art, often as battles were underway. And when the battle continues, under way on home soil after military service ends, organizations like the Veterans Health Alliance and programs like “Visual Valor” help returning heroes use their paintbrushes to move towards personal victory. “Visual Valor” will be on view at the Quogue Library throughout the month of November.

The kindergartners at the Phillips Avenue School in Riverhead enjoy a visit to the Pumpkin Patch where they got to pick a pumpkin on Halloween.
Students from Southold Elementary School recentely visited the Peconic Land Trust’s Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm.
Tuckahoe School Tuckahoe’s Halloween Parade this past Thursday was a huge success. The weather held out so our students could parade around in the front of the school on the circular driveway. Where’s Waldo showed up! Little Red Riding Hood, Pocahontas, the Mad Hatter, Superman, the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, little red devils
and witches galore! The PTO Pottery Night this year is Friday. Parent/ Teacher conferences will be held on November 21 and 22.
Southold Elementary School The Peconic Land Trust recently hosted students from the Southold Elementary School as part of a biannual program to teach them about life on a farm, proper nutrition, and
the work that goes into growing fruits and vegetables on Long Island. The students came to the Peconic Land Trust’s Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm in Southold, a working farm where the North Fork community can learn firsthand the ins and outs of gardening techniques. The students dug for potatoes, and learned nutrition facts about the produce Long Islanders eat on a daily basis. The students also enjoyed a healthy snack of kale chips as a reward for their hard work in the fields throughout the day. The visit was a part of the Peconic Land Trust’s unique stewardship and outreach programs, which are intended to engage the East End community in land conservation, farming and the value of eating locally grown produce.

Suffolk County Police said. A white male walked into the empty store and demanded money from the lone cashier on duty. He pulled a gun and demanded cash, then fled on foot. Police believe he got into a vehicle down the road and made his getaway. He was described as being about six-feet tall, in his 30s, and wearing a black hat and black clothing. The following morning Riverhead Police said a fellow tenant tried to strangle a woman in their home. Maria Delgada told police she was in her room at her house on 778 Gregory Place when Nelson Chamale-Sumay, who rents a room there, broke in and began to punch and strangle her. Fortunately, police had received a call about a possible burglary in progress. Chamale-Sumay, 32, fled the scene but was later apprehended and hit with a First Degree Burglary charge, one count of Assault in the Third, and two other charges relating to the attempted strangulation.

RICK’S SPACE Dominus Vobiscum, You Hunk I’m not one for talking in the morning. My ideal morning would be spent reading the sports pages and drinking coffee, oblivious to the world around me. Of course, that only holds for the weekend. On weekdays I have to trek off to work. I allow myself the pleasure of a quick cup of coffee on the way but the same rules apply – I don’t want to chitchat with anyone. I know nothing about what happened in the world while I was sleeping and I don’t care. It’s all about me – if I wake up alive, I’m good to go. I just
want my coffee. The other day I went to Starbucks at the suggestion of a friend. I have nothing against the place - the people were very nice and there were some luscious looking baked goodies. That was a problem. Being I’m trying to lose weight, I realized there was nothing to eat that was good for me. It was all pastries, butter and sugar. Who wants to eat that crap for breakfast? Give me sausage and bacon any day. After a pretty long wait on a line (why are there so many Yuppies? I wondered), it was finally time for

me to get my coffee. Now let me go on record right now as stating I will never use words like “grande” and “venti” when ordering my coffee. The way I figure it, I spent three years in Catholic High School studying Latin. I hated it then and I still hate it. The ongoing joke was Latin was a worthless language because we would never be able to use it in real life. I’ll be dammed if all of a sudden, 40 years later, Starbucks proves us wrong. I should also point out I cheated my way through all three years of Latin, elaborate schemes that involved hand signals, coded messages, and well-timed coughs. My mother once remarked that if I spent as much time studying for my Latin exams as I did on cheating, I wouldn’t need to cheat. How bad was I? I thought an aqueduct was a racetrack in Queens. What did I know, right? “And how are you sir? How’s your day going?” The woman was beaming. “It’s turning bad very quickly now,” I mumbled. “Can I interest you in a Cappuccino or perhaps a Caramel Bruléé Frappucino?” she asked cheerfully. “No thank you, I am a heterosexual. Plain coffee, please.” “Would you like to try our Tanzanian Blonde Roast? Or our Himalayan blend?” “No, I like my coffee, like my cocaine, to come from Colombia.” “Did you want a grande or a venti?” Those dreaded words. “A large coffee,” I stipulated. “What’s your name?” She asked. Uh oh. Now I’m in trouble. What,

am I about to get reported to the Coffee Police? Have I committed the fatal faux pas of speaking English in a Latin establishment? Now, who did I offend? “Your name?” she asked again. “Hunk . . . Hunk of Steamin’ Funk,” I finally answered. She then wrote the word “Hunk” on an empty cup and wordlessly passed it on to another lady. Her face was expressionless. “That’s $2.65,” she said. “Mater Dei!” I exclaimed before forking over the money. I waited around for what seemed like an eternity until finally another woman came to the counter with a cup. “Hunk!” I didn’t move a muscle. “Hunk!” she shouted louder. Still nothing. She went to the first lady and whispered, then they both looked at me together. “You’re Hunk, right?” the woman with the coffee asked. “No, I’m Hunk Of Burnin’ Funk,” I replied calmly. “One grande mucho,” she said, offering the cup to me. “No,” I said firmly, “I wanted a large coffee.” Finally, she glared. My morning brightened considerably. I went out to my truck and took a sip only to spit it out. No milk. I went storming back. “You put the milk in yourself over at that table,” the woman said. Oh, see, I didn’t get the exam booklet when I came in the store explaining the protocol. Assembly required. MUST SPEAK L ATIN. Customers who refuse to give their names will not be served. You know what happened next. There was no room in the cup for milk – it was filled to the very top with Roman coffee. So I had to dump steaming hot coffee into a drain that really isn’t a drain – it’s a stainless steel make believe drain. It emptied – you guessed it – on my leg. It looked like Big Hunk made a wee-wee in his panties. Good thing I didn’t wear my toga. If I ever do go back to Starbucks – perhaps in another life - I’m going say my name is “Misty Dawn” and order the Very Berry Hibiscus Green Coffee Extract – Half Frap, Half Decaf.

EDITORIAL We Honor Our Veterans Monday will mark the 49th year since Veteran’s Day became a national holiday, though the first such day, then known as Armistice Day, was declared by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. It is a day that Americans set aside to honor those who have served in the military. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who gave their lives in the service of their country, it gives citizens to the opportunity to thank first hand those who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom. Make a point to get out there to the parades and services and lets our veterans know we appreciate the courage they showed. More Lies Revealed With each passing day, more and more evidence comes to light that conclusively proves President Obama and his lackeys in Congress, who include our disgraced Congressman Tim Bishop, lied to the people about Obamacare. We were assured that all Americans who were satisfied with the health insurance plan they had could keep it after the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) kicked in. This month
however, millions of Americans were notified their plans are being summarily canceled. Now, the administration is acknowledging that about 12 million Americans are losing their plans, and are going to have to purchase another that costs roughly 50 percent more, and with greater out-of-pocket expenses tacked on. Don’t worry, the White House assured us, “most” of those individuals will be eligible for federal subsidies to offset the some of the cost of the new, more expensive plan. It’s another lie. According to statistics, the people losing their plans are small business owners, consultants, lawyers, and other self-employed professionals. These people typically have salaries above the threshold that triggers a subsidy. Even those that do will see substantial out of pocket increases. Stripped of the rhetoric and baloney Obamacare is precisely what we’ve been saying it is all along – the middle class, already struggling to take care of our own families, will now have to pay for tens of millions of other people as well. America is being Socialized, and it won’t end until all of us have our hands out looking for freebies from the government, stripped of our dignities. Or, we could elect public officials who believe in the American way – you work hard and reap the just rewards.

School Bus Safety Dear Editor, I read an article in School Bus Fleet magazine that upset me greatly. “This year’s school bus stop-arm running survey found 85,279 violations in a single day, which represents more than 15 million violations in a 180-day school year.” Over the years as school bus drivers we’ve noticed some confusion amongst motorists when encountering a school bus picking up and dropping off children. In light of National School Bus Safety Week we’d like to present motorists with information regarding school bus stops to help them help us transport children to and from school safely. Here is some information that may help: You will find school buses on the same roads at the same time every school day. If this interferes with your schedule you may want to change your time or route. (Please remember it is not our intention to impede traffic.) School bus drivers activate flashing amber warning lights (yellow) at least 300 feet before school bus stops. (The length of two telephone poles.) School bus drivers activate flashing red lights (stop-arms) when the bus comes to a complete stop and the door is open, allowing children to either enter or exit the school bus. Please watch for children crossing in front of your vehicle. Please be patient as it will take a couple of seconds for the bus to resume moving, allowing children to be seated safely. It is illegal for a motorist to pass a school bus with their red stop-arms engaged. That applies on private roads, parking lots, school grounds as well as public roadways. Every person convicted of passing a stopped school bus shall for a first conviction receive a fine of not

Have you started making plans for Thanksgiving? Laura Brewster Have I started making plans for Thanksgiving? What’s to plan? It’s the same thing every year. You make the turkey.

Dinner is traditional but I always make Watergate salad for dessert, pistachio pudding and CoolWhip, pineapple and nuts. It’s named after the hotel, not the scandal. Marie Navarra We’re not sure where we’re going yet. We may go to my daughter in-law’s house. They actually have a table big enough for all of us. We used to have everyone to our house but now that we’ve moved to the East End full-time it’s a bit far for everyone to travel. less than $250, no more than $400 or by imprisonment of not more than 30 days or both. Passing a stopped school bus is a five-point violation. School Bus Drivers can report motorists to DMV who illegally pass school buses that are stopped on the highway with their red lights flashing. A police officer has the authority to direct traffic to proceed through activated bus flashers. This ends when the police officer leaves the scene. I read a statement from School Bus Fleet magazine that I think says it all. “Any driver who passes a stopped school bus illegally is gambling with a child’s life.” We would like to thank you in advance for helping us get children to and from school safely.

The Tea Party Didn’t To The Editor, I don’t think the extremists in America are the Tea Party. I think the extremists are Barack Obama and his thugs. The Tea Party didn’t lie to the American People. The Tea Party didn’t tell the people that they could: 1. Keep their insurance plans.
2. Keep their doctors. 3. They’ll save at least $2500 on their insurance. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Dick Durbin did. The Tea Party never threatened anyone. The extremists are the ones who assassinated presidents. Oswald, a Communist. John Wilkes Booth, a Socialist. As all the assassins and would-be’s were lefties. And not a single one was a Republican. As all the “youth” killers at schools and shopping centers were leftists . . . All of whom played violent video games and took drugs of one or another kind . . . The Tea Party and law abiding gun owners are not the ones who shot innocent people. Loons associated with Occupied Wall Street have. The Tea Partyists are not the ones making this nation second rate. Barack Obama and his crew are doing that. The Tea Party and George Bush didn’t make America lose prestige and respect across the world. Barack Obama did that, thank you. The Tea Party didn’t encourage The Arab Spring as tens of thousands died. The Tea Party didn’t support The Muslim Brotherhood.

Southold
Bird Decoy Exhibit The Southold Historical Society announced the opening of a new exhibition featuring bird decoys made by members of the DeMott family of Long Island carvers. The exhibit, entitled “DeMott Decoys How They Are Made,” will be held at the Reichert Family Center’s Cosden Price Gallery, located at 54127 Main Road. The exhibit will open to the public on Saturday, November 16 at 1 PM. The exhibit focuses on the works of the DeMott family including Daniel DeMott and his greatgrandson, Dick DeMott. “This exhibit will introduce the general public to how they were made,” stated Geoffrey K. Fleming, director of the Society. Daniel (1847-1930) is among the best-known makers of decoys from the East Rockaway region of Long Island. His son Perry and greatgrandson Dick continued in his footsteps, and their works have been featured in a number of major decoy exhibitions around the country. For more information on this exhibit or other Society programs, please contact the Southold Historical Society at 631-765-5500.

more of their cancer. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton did that. The Tea Party did not cause the nation’s first credit downrate. Or threaten the second. Obama and his crew are doing that. The Tea Party is not responsible for dead Americans at Beghazigate and dead Americans after Fast & Furious, the IRS’ targeting Obama’s political enemies, Solyndragate, Pigs with Lipstick, and a failed healthcare website followed by a failed health care system. Obama did it all, as the buck stops on his desk, not on mine, not yours . . . and certainly not on George Bush’s. As Barack’s ideas were not tested in the real world and failed for the real world. That’s socialism for you. Once tested it is bound to fail. And it matters not a whit if Sarah Palin sees Vladivostok from her front porch! The Tea Party didn’t need to “fix” Apple’s software. Obama didn’t need to fix it either. Apple, responsible for what they did corrected their far more complex website, in a single day. Obamacare’s failure is not Apple’s fault. Not George Bush’s either. Obama and his people are responsible for all of the astonishing failures and tragedies listed, for the failures he spins as if they were successes, except for Apple’s success, which Obama had nothing to do with. The Tea Party is not responsible for millions of jobs not coming back. For 49 million Americans on food stamps - and Obama’s losing The War on Poverty. For half the nation winding up on one or another dependency program. Obama and his Chicago-based thugs are directly responsible for that, as the aforementioned half of the nation voted for him. The Tea Party is not breaking this nation. Neither is the Federal Reserve. Obama’s and the Democrat’s fiscal and social policies are doing all that.

Let the Playoffs Begin! The Riverhead Blue Waves begin their quest for a third straight Suffolk County Championship Saturday when Half Hollow Hills (4-4) comes to town at 1 PM. The locals clinched top seed in Division II by besting Newfield, 21-8 in a hard-fought affair last Saturday. Riverhead’s All County tailback Jeremiah Cheatom was the difference – he rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries and scored two touchdowns. Quarterback Kenny Simco hit Ryan Hubbard for a 20-yard touchdown to ice the game. Newfield, 5-3 on the season, also made the playoffs – the Wolverines play #4 seed West Islip (5-3) Saturday. In Division III action Westhampton finished on a high note, beating Hauppauge (6-2) to finish 4-4 on the season. For some implausible reason,
the Hurricanes were nevertheless kept out of the playoffs — entry is based on an arcane power rating system and the locals had the lowest ranking among four teams tied with 4-4 marks. Evan Gagne went out in style, rushing for 122 yards on only 15 carries and tallying two TDs, one a 29-yard romp. Hauppauge, the #5 seed in Division III, plays at Huntington Saturday. Babylon finished 8-0 in Division IV by pummeling East Hampton, 49-7, earning the top seed. East Hampton finished at 3-5 but somehow qualified for the playoffs as the #8 seed though the Bonackers three wins came against arguably the three worst teams in the league, teams with a combined record of 3-21. The joy will likely be short lived in Bubbyland, though – the locals

Fishing Report Shinnecock Bay/Inlet & Ocean The bass bite along the beaches is decent when the weather allows. Most guys have been dragging umbrella rigs with both tubes and shads with success. The fish are tight to the beach. Jigging is good, too, but you’ve got to hunt down the fish first. The inlet bite has been terrible for those drifting live baits. The western part of the Shinnecock Bay has bait and should be holding a few decent bass. Out on the local reef and wrecks the seabassing has been great and the blackfish bite is slow. The heave over this weekend put lock jaw on the bottom bite.
S h o r e b o u n d /S u r f/C a n a l / Ponquogue Bridge The bass bite along the beaches both east and west of the inlet is on fire. The sand eels are dug in and ava jigs with any color the chosen lure. Green and white tubes have been best. Any other rubber bait that looks like a sand eel will do some damage too. The night bite has been on needlefish with fish to 25 pounds not uncommon. Fish are starting to bite on bucktails as well. There’s no excuse not to get out there and get in on the fun. No real report from the canal or the bridge but that is most likely due to the excellent bite at the beaches.

finessing for the king. West did not play his king on the first trump trick. South then returned to dummy with the ace of diamonds to try the trump finesse again. When East discarded, South realized, too late, that all was not well. West played his king and led his last small trump which South won with the 10. Finally, having lost two tricks, South led a club from dummy and finessed for the king and queen. West won with the king and played another heart. South had to trump and could not get back to dummy to take another finesse in clubs. South ended up losing one spade, one heart and two clubs. One South did make his contract. He saw that he might not have enough entries in dummy to try both the trump finesse and the double finesse in clubs. Since the double finesse in clubs has a 76 percent chance of losing just one club trick, he chose that line of play. Immediately after winning the second trick with the king of hearts, he led a club and played the 10 when East played low. West won with the king but declarer could get back to dummy again with the ace of diamonds to play clubs again. No matter what East played, South could win East’s queen with his ace. This South lost one spade, one heart but only one club. Any questions or comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol.com.

Who Are The New York Jets? Typically by week 10 of the NFL season, we can identify the good and the bad teams. The Broncos, Chiefs, Seahawks, and 49ers are the cream of the crop. While the Jaguars, Vikings, Buccaneers, and Rams are the bottom of the barrel. Then, there are teams just below the upper echelon that we often consider “contenders.” If the playoffs started this past weekend, the Jets would be the final wild card team in the AFC. Even writing it, that is difficult to comprehend. The only thing I don the am certain about regarding New York Jets: they are the biggest enigma in the NFL. Since a week one victory, the Jets have followed every win with a loss. A stunning overtime win against the Patriots was followed by an embarrassing forty point loss to the Bengals, and then another thrilling victory this past Sunday against the Saints. It’s been a roller coaster season that understandably
