OBAMA FOR POPE In a lifetime of brilliant ideas let me say this is by far the best one I have ever had. Let’s all get behind Barack Obama and let’s have him named Pope.

Think of it from Obama’s point of view: Instead of being President of the United States (whose population a measly 335 million) and where only 51 percent of the population thinks he’s God, Obama could be named head of the Catholic Church and have 1.1 billion followers thinking he’s God’s best friend.

And yes, I know Obama wasn’t born a Catholic, but come on, I will bet you somewhere in the world there is a birth certificate just begging to be found that lists little Barack Obama was born a Catholic in Naples, Italy.

Just think of the jump-start this will give the church now that a smiling, dynamic Barack Obama takes over from Pope Benedict XVI, who was always considered by many in the church to be something of IndependentAd_July12_Vert.pdf 1 world-class sourpuss.

And should anything ever go wrong in the church, Obama the blameless will always be able to say, “Ain’t my fault – that started during the reign of the evil Pope Alexander VI who, from 1492 to 1503, was seen as the Hugh Hefner of Popes.”

This will be a boon for Catholics.

The New York Times will endorse Obama for Pope. NBC, ABC and CBS will have specials on why Obama will be the best Pope in the past 2000 years.

Steve Croft will have a special 60-minute interview with Pope Benedict, who will be encouraged to say that when he saw the great job Barack Obama was doing in the United States fighting the wicked Republicans who were out to hurt the poor . . . when he saw how Obama did more than part the waters, he parted the Congress and gave us the expensive miracle of Obamacare . . . that’s when Benedict realized that Obama was the man who could fill his golden 7/27/12 4:33 PM slippers.

Think of his first speech, when Obama comes out onto the balcony Your Home is Your of St. Peter’s. He is wearing all those Most Valuable Asset nifty Pope robes and doo-dads.

So trust a company that’s always here for you.

And don’t forget how handsome Obama will look in that golden Pope helmet hat.

Being a good husband he will share all of those incredible Pope clothes and robes with his wife, the lovely Michelle.

Now before everyone gets bent out of shape, let’s wait for The New York Times and the rest of the media to tell us how it will be fine for Pope Barack to be married, pointing out that Pope Damascus I (366-384), Pope Sergius III (904-911), Pope Boniface (1294-1303) and the first 20 Popes did not lack for female company during their reigns.

Wait until the great New York Times front-page editorial titled “Married Pope Obama brings Church into the 21st century.”

And of course Michelle Obama will have some ideas about making sure that under her man’s watch Catholics will be healthier.

slightly altered and brought up to date.

Instead of wine, a sip of cranberry juice (which is much better for the kidneys than wine) will be offered.

And, of course, the Communion wafer will be gluten free.

Think of that first speech . . .

Obama will pause, spread out his arms in a God-like gesture, look into the Papal teleprompter and he will use that golden voice to promise 1.1 billion Catholics a golden future.

The first part of his speech will be a repeat of his usual “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal” malarkey. Then he will swing into gear, look up at the heavens and say: “Oh Holy Father, let us pray that those wealthy Catholics around the world pay their “fair share.”

“Let us make it clear that the wealthy one percent of the Catholic world can no longer “buy” their way into heaven.”

He will end with a call to have Papal drones installed at the ready in the Vatican.

He will explain that Catholics have enemies and he’s gotten sort of used to pressing a button and having a drone make them disappear.

The crowd will go wild. Barack Obama will smile down on them. Even back when he was a community organizer, he always knew that jiving a billion people was his destiny.

Snag Hit And Run Suspect

By Kitty Merrill

Credit forensics, cell technology, and according to East Hampton Town Police Chief Ed Ecker, “Great police work.”

Last Thursday afternoon police arrested Edward L. Orr, 30, of Montauk. They believe he’s the driver who struck and killed John Judge on Main Street in Amagansett on October 23, 2012. Charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in a fatality, he was remanded to the Suffolk County jail in lieu of $250,000 cash ($500,000 bond) bail following arraignment on Friday morning.

Chief Ecker noted that while the case was well publicized, police received “very, very few” leads from the public. “It boiled down to forensics.”

Evidence collected at the scene allowed technicians from Suffolk County’s crime lab to determine the make and model of the car.

Then it was a matter of doing the legwork. With the make and model narrowed down, detectives next used zip codes to find how

many 2004 Jeep Cherokees were registered in the area. “In Suffolk County, there was something in the neighborhood of 1500 vehicles that fit the description,” Detective Lieutenant Chris Anderson said.

Chief Ecker said police were scheduled to look at close to a hundred cars.

Police found Orr’s vehicle at an auction house in New Jersey. “We looked at it with people from the crime lab. We seized the car and ultimately it became a match,” Chief Ecker reported.

With a suspect identified, police were then able to use information obtained from cell towers to put the defendant in the area during the time of the crime.

According to Anderson, Orr “does have a criminal history.” Past incidents involve a domestic abuse case and grand larceny. The Det. Lt, said he couldn’t comment as to whether alcohol was a contributing factor in the hit and run.

Councilman Dominick Stanzione discovered Judge’s body on Main Street the night of the crime. He initially thought what he saw was

Independent/Courtesy EHTPD

a Halloween decoration that had blown over. Investigating further, he was heartsick to find Judge, a well-known resident of the hamlet.

Stanzione, along with members of

the Lupo family, close friends who own Astro Pizza, say Judge had been crossing the street from the store when he was killed. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

Kids Found Via AMBER Alert

By Kitty Merrill

Why take two babies during a blizzard, was the question circulating last Friday night. A statewide AMBER Alert was issued on Friday, but Wiley Whitlock, 5, and Scarlet Whitlock 1, were allegedly abducted three days earlier on February 5.

According to Southampton Town Police, Child Protective Services showed up at headquarters on Friday reporting that officials had attempted to serve Orders of Protection on Amy Whitlock, 30, and Christopher Carcione, 30, both of Southampton. The OOPs were on behalf of the couple’s two small children who, cops say, had a history of being neglected. The older child

suffers from epilepsy and seizure disorder and was last seen on February 5 at school.

Police say that in order to circumvent CPS, the couple left their last known address, The Bentley Hotel in Southampton, with both children. Carcione and Whitlock both allegedly have a history of drug and weapons possessions. Family Court determined the children were in imminent danger and issued emergency removal warrants on Thursday. Warrants were issued for both parents as well.

On Friday morning, Carcione allegedly told CPS that the family left the state and had no intention of cooperating with authorities.

STPD opened a missing persons case on the kids, and at 6:20 PM, the AMBER Alert was broadcast across Long Island.

Last week, the Suffolk County Legislature unanimously approved a bill to create what Suffolk Police and others call “the strongest sex offender monitoring program in the country.”

Tw o t r a i l e r s , l o c a t e d i n Westhampton and Riverside, that housed about 40 homeless sex offenders since 2006 would also be shut down due to the new legislation.

Dubbed the Community Protection Act, the homeless sex offenders will instead be placed at the county’s existing shelters at the discretion of the Suffolk County Department of Social Services commissioner, with no more than one offender per facility. Offenders will be kept separate from families.

Under the act, the Suffolk C o u n t y Po l i c e D e p a r t m e n t will work closely with Parents for Megan’s Law, a nonprofit dedicated to the prevention of sexual abuse, to monitor and spread information as it develops.

Lawmakers say the trailers will be shut down in a matter of months.

“Vital Not To Idle”

By Emily Toy

Southampton Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst announced last week the formal approval of an antiidling policy for all town-owned and operated vehicles and equipment as part of ongoing efforts to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of the town.

Since 2010, when Southampton’s Sustainability Committee convened, efforts were made to “prioritize environmental goals and encourage and contribute to sustainability with a concentrated focus on the reduction of the town’s ecological impact,” according to a copy of the idling reduction policy.

“Considering the value Southampton residents place on the environment, these town-wide efforts should help us all breathe easier,” Throne-Holst said in a radio announcement for the anti-idling campaign that aired last week.

The supervisor pleaded with town residents, urging them to “Help us improve Southampton. Turn off your engine. Remember, it’s vital not to idle.”

The Sustainability Committee identified the needless idling of

Correction In an article last week about Westhampton Middle School’s Ariana De Mattei’s Backpacks for Fellow Students program, The Independent reported her goal is to assemble 50 backpacks for students by next September. Actually, the enterprising young lady is looking to put together 150 packs for fellow students.

The Independent regrets the error.

motor vehicles as an issue almost three years ago. Research indicated that reducing needless idling of only 100 motor vehicles by as little as 10 minutes per day can reduce gasoline consumption by 2700 gallons per year. This in turn would save taxpayers $8000 in fuel costs and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 54,000 pounds per year.

Research also showed that 10 seconds of idling a gasoline-powered vehicle and 30 seconds of idling a diesel-powered vehicle uses more fuel than restarting the engine.

A number of signs were installed to spread awareness about the initiative.

“We’ve been having a lot of success with the marketing campaign for the Green Homes Program, so Liz [Plouff, Sustainability Coordinator] is trying similar tactics for the Idling Policy,” said Jennifer Garvey, Deputy Chief of Staff for ThroneHolst.

Even before last weekend’s blizzards, East End roads were treacherous, and tragic, with accidents claiming the lives of two

Riverhead Town Police reported that a 2002 Subaru driven by a Riverhead man was traveling eastbound on Rt 25 A at around 5:50 PM when it struck the pedestrian in the eastbound lane. Hyte sustained serious injuries and was transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The investigation is ongoing. So far no charges have been filed against the 71-year-old driver.

Kelly Doroski, 23, of Sag Harbor, died Thursday night, a victim of a single car accident on Route 114.

Officers discovered a 2009 Mazda in a wooded area off the southbound lane of 114 just before 8:30 PM. According to EHTPD Chief Ed

Ecker, the car left the road in the area just past Plank Road. He noted there’s a “wide sweeping” turn in the road at that location.

From where the car left the road, it traveled close to 100 yards, taking out a utility pole guide wire and hitting trees.

“It’s too early to tell,” the chief said when asked to determine a cause of the accident. “It looks like she failed to negotiate the turn and left the road.”

It doesn’t appear excess speed was a factor, the chief said, acknowledging the area is highly populated by deer. A safety inspection of the vehicle is underway.

According to a Facebook page honoring her, Doroski was the loving mother of a son who will be two in April. She’s the fiancé of Max Corrigan. There will be a viewing at Yardley & Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor today, Wednesday, from 2 to 4 PM and 7 to 9 PM. An informal memorial service will be held tomorrow at 11 AM. A celebration of her life will follow at Il Cappuccino on Madison Street in Sag Harbor. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

THE INDEPENDENT Q Traveler Watchman

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE Million Dollar Baby

After reviewing a document mailed to my by the Social Security Administration I realized something startling – I have earned over $1 million writing.

This is an amazing development, considering I wasted more than half my life without accomplishing much of anything.

I simply assumed I would be a writer all my life, even as a youngster in grade school. Actually, I originally wanted to be a baseball player, but there were always other kids around who were better than me. After that dream died, I focused on writing, except for a brief time shortly after I hit puberty when I vowed to become a gynecologist.

My passion for writing was fueled by my classmates, who would usually laugh hysterically at the stuff I would churn out.

My first big laugh came when I was seven, when I wrote that I hoped to get leukemia so Mickey Mantle would come visit me. I didn’t know what leukemia was, of course, but I

knew The Mick would often go to the children’s hospital and bring along Whitey and Yogi.

When I was a kid there was a TV show that promised to pay cash if your jokes were read on the air. I excitedly sent off a batch. Lo and behold, around the third week the host came on and told one of my jokes, but didn’t give me credit for it. The joke was “I can’t wait to go to heaven so I can find out whatever happened to Baby Jane” -- I guess you had to be there.

A few weeks later the guy told a couple more of my jokes. I complained to my parents, but I don’t think they believed me.

Then came the inevitable rush of short stories I would dutifully mail to Playboy, which had a reputation for paying good money for every story they published. They actually liked one of mine, though not enough to publish. It was about a guy who gets drafted and starts writing love letters to his girlfriend. She starts writing back, and gradually it becomes apparent she has a new boyfriend –

but the soldier is too dumb to read between the lines. Ha ha.

There were no computers in those days, and I never learned to type, even though it was a mandatory course in college. (I ended up paying some kid who looked like me to take the exam.

God, he was good looking.)

To make matters worse, my lefthanded scribble, then and now, is almost impossible to decipher. So even if I did write a good story, chances are the editors couldn’t read it.

I set out writing the Great American Novel when I was 17; I called it “The Nazz.” It was about a group of hippies in a small village that sounded suspiciously like Sag Harbor.

The characters smoked pot and made love and cursed and partied a lot. It was fiction – kind of. But the leader of the group turned out to be some demonic freakazoid. I wrote this, by the way, before Charles Manson’s antics.

My novel also featured a tiki head one of the characters talked to, kind of like Tom Hanks does in the movie Cast Away. Maybe that SOB stole the whole idea from me – he wins an Oscar, I get un gotz.

My sister dutifully typed the novel up and although a few publishers expressed interest none ever offered me money. I blame it on my sister’s woeful typing.

So anyhow, I kept smoking pot, drinking, making love (mostly with

IN THE NEWS

myself) and talking to the tiki head until I finally got a job from my pal Linda Sherry at the Sag Harbor Herald.

I covered sports and wrote a humor column, which was just fine with me.

I’ve been doing it ever since.

Along the way more of my jokes were stolen. Perhaps my best was: Q: What did Sammy Davis Jr. say to Pat Sajak?

A: “I wanna buy an eye.”

(You see, to get this you would have to know Davis had a glass eye. You’d also have to know who the hell he was.)

I also penned the definitive definition of “Eternal Love” – Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles playing tennis together.

My other notable joke that has made the rounds is: Q: “What sign are you?”

A: “Slippery when wet.” And yes, it had sexual connotations, as most of my memorable jokes do.

I did a lot of things before I became a writer. I delivered newspapers, I cleaned boats, I was a house painter, landscaper, salesman, and recruiter, even a time study engineer. I hated each job with a passion, because, as many of you know, I am an extremely lazy individual who likes to sleep late and take long naps.

Yeah, I’ve made a million writing – not too shabby for a kid from Flatbush. It only comes out to about 14 grand a year, but it sure sounds impressive.

EDITORIAL School Eligibility Issues Need To Be Addressed Dominic Annacone’s excellent Eye On Education column in this week’s issue focuses on a situation that has long been irksome to us.

Last month Bridgehampton had to forfeit a boys basketball game because two of its players were deemed ineligible for apparently failing a quiz. The forfeiture, unfortunately, could mean the team misses out on a state playoff berth.

Schools set their own eligibility policies, and therein lies the rub. There is no definitive statewide policy, so they vary from school district to school district.

Worse, officials from Section 11 – the governing body of Suffolk sports -- have pointedly told us it is a can of worms they have no intention of opening.

Schools that have overly restrictive policies, like Bridgehampton, are at a competitive disadvantage against schools that have liberal academic eligibility requirements, or no policy at all. In the case of Bridgehampton, a tiny school with only a handful of players, a strict policy is downright punitive. With only six players, the team simply can’t bear to have players suspended. Larger schools, with hundreds of boys enrolled and a full roster, can more easily absorb the loss of one or two players.

But the issue goes much deeper. Since the names of the suspended players are

Fun Killing?

Dear Editor, Oh that darn liberal Vatican; now they’re praising President Obama’s proposals for curbing gun violence. What’s next, two people of the same gender and in love,

being allowed to marry?

But I digress (or progress), that is yet another subject. Their realization of the mad “guns gone wild” scenario being insane is one more step in the growth to their enlightenment - an important one.

I suppose that “Thou shalt not kill” thing had something to do with their decision. This will upset those many that enjoy the fun of killing things labeled “Sport” who may feel that there is far too much breathing going on in our country and more guns mean less breathing. It may be seen as providing those worthy of remaining alive with somewhat more of that vital air.

There are probably an infinite more number of such irrational rationales for their love of killing. Fortunately this perverse mindset predominately though not exclusively, exists in the armpit of our country; predominately but unfortunately not exclusively as shown by some of our local Letters to the Editor.

easily gleaned by journalists and fans because they are not on the court, the school has in essence violated the confidentiality code -- officials have revealed the academic record of the suspended players by announcing they are failing a subject.

Athletics go hand in hand with academics. There is no difference between a student who is a good athlete but struggles in the classroom and a student who is good academically but struggles on the playing field. The district must nurture both, and encourage both.

Perhaps a scenario exists wherein a good athlete stays in school only because he wants to play sports. Maybe he drops out after the season – or maybe a bell goes off and with the guidance of a caring teacher he discovers himself academically.

A punitive suspension isn’t going to make a student embrace schoolwork – only teachers and administrators (and parents) can accomplish that. But a suspension may take away the one thing a troubled youth likes about school, the one thing that keeps him coming every day.

Getting them into the building is the first step. Helping them understand the value of the classroom is next. Then comes teaching. To ostracize a student-athlete is the easy way out. When a kid is declared academically ineligible, it’s the school, not the student that failed.

Notify Authorities Dear Editor, I urge residents to protect animals during bad storms like Nemo by following these tips: Keep your dogs and cats indoors and urge friends, family, and neighbors to do the same. Outdoors, animals can suffer from frostbite, hypothermia, and dehydration when water sources freeze.

If you see animals left outdoors, make sure they are provided with increased food rations and proper shelter: a wooden doghouse elevated off the ground, stuffed with straw, and with a flap over the door.

Notify authorities if an animal is denied these necessities.

Knock on the hood of vehicles before starting the engine—cats sometimes sleep near warm engines and are maimed or killed when cars are started.

Bundle shorthaired, young, elderly, and small dogs in sweaters and boots for

walks. Afterward, clean off their feet, legs, and stomachs to remove salt and other chemicals that can sicken them.

Spread birdseed on the ground and/or place pieces of bread in trees for birds and other wildlife. Fill a heavy bowl with water and break the surface ice twice a day. Be sure to remove the food after the storm.

A champion of the poor and ardent exponent of Christian unity, the German Pontiff was, in many and such capacities as teaching, governing and sanctifying, both a beacon of light and salt of the earth. He has never ceased to offer fresh hope for defeating the forces of tyranny, cynicism and moral relativism hovering like a dark cloud on the horizon.

Successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ, he was the world’s most influential and uncompromising defender of the dignity of human life. His tenacious pleas for the development of a “culture of life” and parallel denunciations of the “culture of death” have been instrumental in rallying opposition to the immorality of war, terrorism, abortion, euthanasia, divorce, contraception, homosexuality and embryonic-tissue research.

Oh, Snow No You Didn’t

By Kitty Merrill

Named for a beloved children’s movie character, Nemo was more villain than cute little critter. Last weekend’s blizzard dumped over a foot of snow on the South Fork, and close to 20 inches on Riverhead and North Fork locales.

East Hampton Village declared a state of emergency at noon on Friday, according to a release from police. Those wanting to learn about the East Hampton Town’s fate had to check the official website. As of Sunday night, the town’s state of emergency remained in effect until the road clean up was completed.

Also at noon on Friday, Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter sent out an advisory, warning of pending

weather and travel travail, and asking residents to make sure the area around fire hydrants was kept clear, cars removed from on street parking and elderly residents in their community monitored.

By 4:30 PM, he advised, “Conditions in the Town have severely deteriorated and will not improve for some time.” Walter declared a snow emergency.

By 3 AM Saturday, still more news from Walter informed of blizzard conditions, the suspension of some plowing until daylight hours. “ROADS ARE IMPASSABLE,” Walter declared. “TRAVEL IS PROHIBITED.” Another advisory issued at 9 Saturday morning

reported blizzard conditions had subsided, but for the snowplows “progress is limited due to the huge amount of snow and drifting.”

Travel continued to be banned in Riverhead on Saturday.

E a s t H a m p t o n To w n a n d Village opened a joint Emergency Operations Center at 3 PM Friday and stayed open for 24 hours. According to Town Highway Superintendent Steve Lynch, 3 PM was about the time he began deploying his troops – some 60 trucks, manned by private contractors, and town employees from the highway, sanitation and parks departments, plus the fire marshal’s office. They began sanding roads at 3:30 PM and

by the time they finished, he said, “It was time to plow.”

Sporadic power outages were reported, with an estimated 2000 customers affected locally at the peak of the problem. By Sunday night the number had dwindled down to just a few dozen in East Hampton.

On Friday LIPA officials handed the reins over to National Grid, which called in mutual aid from other states and had trucks and staff standing by and ready. Lynch reported that in some instances, ice covered power lines draped low over roadways preventing clearing.

Snow

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 24.

In two places in Montauk, utility poles broke.

By mostly it was trees that snapped under the pressure of ice and wind. “I had one guy, all he did was clear trees for 24 hours. From Cranberry Hole Road to Wainscott, we had well over a hundred trees,” Lynch acknowledged.

Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst declared a state of emergency at 4 PM, permitting only emergency travel on Friday. By Monday afternoon, town hall, like local schools, was closing early, she reported.

There were still “a ton of secondary and private roads” left to plow on Monday, the supervisor said. The sheer quantity, and the heaviness caused by initial rain and sleet, made clearing roads difficult.

While there was more snowfall up west, Throne-Holst pointed out, “It was much heavier here.’”

Staff worked around the clock and “everyone was on deck,” she said.

Erosion along the south shore is always a worry during storms. “All in all, the beach did okay,” ThroneHolst said. Sand replenishment implemented after Super Storm Sandy “got beaten up,” she said, “but no houses washed out to sea.”

Though high tides were predicted,

they didn’t meet the worrisome predictions.

Damage from fallen trees was “not as bad as it could have been,” Throne-Holst said, adding, “Though I did see a whopper on the way in this morning.” Inland areas like Flanders and portions of Hampton Bays suffered the most with snow piling up. “There was a lot of drifting, you had to plow and replow,” the supervisor explained. Roads next to farm fields experienced extensive drifting.

Throne-Holst travelled Scuttlehole Road Monday. “It’s ugly,” she said.

Southampton Town’s Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Randy Hintze disseminated several media releases throughout the blizzard until the state of emergency was lifted at 8 PM Sunday night. By Monday morning power had reportedly been restored to the remaining customers who’d lost it, some as early as Friday night in Southampton.

Back in East Hampton, Lynch sounded a little weary on Monday afternoon. He was grateful to have obtained new trucks through the military (some for as little as $1700). The punishment to vehicles wrought by plowing for hours and hours at a clip is traditionally a hurdle to clear during blizzards.

In all Lynch found four trucks with less than 200 miles on them

for $1700 each. Two additional “huge” trucks cost just $3500 a piece, and a road sweeper that would cost $265,000 new, he bought for $1200. It will take about $16,000 in retrofits, but the new fleet is not just a bargain; this past weekend it was a blessing. “Having those extra trucks made such a difference,” the highway superintendent said.

Looking back over the weekend, Lynch summarized, “It was long, wet, and deep.”

Two warming shelters were available in East Hampton, but, according to Police Chief Ed Ecker, “They weren’t used at all.” EHTPD

responded to quite a few calls, he said, the most harrowing of which came in after the storm was over.

At around 4 AM Monday morning, police were alerted to a sinking houseboat in Springs at Gardiner’s Marina. A woman who had been staying on the vessel was taken to Southampton Hospital for possible treatment of hypothermia, the chief said.

Earlier in the weekend an open transom lobster boat docked in Montauk went down, too. It was raised and on the road to recovery

East End Real Estate Had A Banner Year

By Rick Murphy

According to Suffolk Research Service the East End real estate market enjoyed a banner year in 2012 – the best since 2007.

2012 unit sales of single-family residences on the East End, 2430, represents a 17.7 percent increase from the previous year. Dollar sales for 2012 were $3.4 billion, 18.7 percent higher than 2011. Median price for single-family homes was $649,000, a slight decrease from 2011.

Unit sales for 2012 were up in all five towns, and were the highest yearly sales since 2007 in all towns except Riverhead. Median price changes for the year 2012 vs. 2011 for single family residences were up only in East Hampton, with a median price of $955,000.

The fourth quarter saw an unprecedented upswing in sales.

Analysts have said many higher priced homes were sold to beat the pending capital gains tax increase that took effect in January.

Comparing 2012 forth quarter to 2011 forth quarter, dollar sales for single-family residences were up 51.7 percent and unit sales up by 29.8 percent According to the fourth quarter market report for single-family home sales on the East End of Long Island released today by Brown Harris Stevens, the number of sales in the Hamptons rose 16 percent from the fourth quarter of last year, with the number of sales of $2.5 million and over up 98 percent over the same period. Both the average and median price on the South Fork increased.

“The increase in sales volume for 2012 indicates that the Hamptons market has stabilized since the recession and is returning to a

normal growth cycle. While unlikely to explode with activity, the market is regaining lost momentum as many buyers and investors are willing to purchase at current price levels. This continued steady growth in sales is encouraging,” said Peter Turino, president of Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons. “Like many markets, we experienced a surge of closings in December due to pending tax law changes, however there are still plenty of buyers that are actively looking now. Sale transactions are being done this month during what is normally a quiet time which is additional evidence that this market is turning a corner.”

According to the BHS report, the average price in Amagansett rose 67 percent from a year ago, and the number sales for $1 million or more rose 36 percent.

Bridgehampton was the only

South Fork market to see its highend account for a smaller percent of sales than in the fourth quarter of 2011. This should be viewed with caution, as there were very few sales a year ago and almost one-third were for $8 million or more.

The average price rose 103 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 in the East Hampton market, helped in part by three sales of at least $20 million, according to the BHS report.

Homes in the Southampton market sold for an average of $2.6 million, 20 percent more than in 2011’s fourth quarter. This was due in part to five sales of at least $8 million, compared to just two a year ago, the BHS report stated.

The brackets have been posted – the high school version of March Madness is upon us.

Section 11, the governing body of Suffolk athletics, posted the brackets Monday. As always there were a few surprises, but the seedings mostly went according to form.

On the boys’ side, one of the most intriguing games pits Shelter Island, the number one seed in the Class D bracket, against Bridgehampton.

The winner advances to the Suffolk County overall tournament against the Class C winner, but in this case there are bigger fish to fry – the winner gets an automatic berth in the State Class D tournament.

Since there are no Class D (smallest classification) in Nassau one of the two local schools will become Long Island Class D champs. The Bees and Indians collide tomorrow in Westhampton at 4 PM. The Class C number one seed, Stony Brook, will face the winner of yesterday’s Greenport (#3) / Pierson game for the C title and a berth in the CD game.

Southampton, seeded second in Class B, gets a home game tomorrow against Wyandanch at 4:30. A win will propel the Mariners into the Class B title game next Wednesday, most likely against Babylon, the top seed.

East Hampton, seeded number

six in Class A, had a tough game in Islip (#3) yesterday. An upset win would pit Bonac against the winner of the Mount Sinai (7)/Harborfields (2) affair tomorrow. The game will be played on the home court of the highest seed.

Riverhead, seeded fifth in Class AA, gets a home game against Longwood (12) Friday at 5 PM. On the girls’ side, two local teams are among the four earning berths in the Class C tourney. Pierson/ Bridgehampton, seeded fourth. had to travel to Stony Brook to play the top seeded Lady Bears yesterday.

Southold (3) played at Port Jefferson yesterday in the other semifinal game.

The Southampton Lady Mariners, the defending Class B champions, are the top seed again this year.

They will play Tuesday at Eastport against the winner of Friday’s Mattituck/Center Moriches game. The Lady Tuckers are the third seed.

East Hampton earned the fifth seed on Class A and will take on number 4 Islip upisland Friday. A win means a tough match against Harborfields, the top seed, on Tuesday.

Riverhead, last season’s Long Island champ, is the seventh seed in the Class AA bracket and will play at home Friday against Half Hollow Hills. That game is slated for a 5 PM tipoff.

Mets, Yanks, In Unusual Predicament As the East End continues to dig out from Nemo, the New York Yankees and Mets have made their trips down to Florida this week to open up spring training.

For the first time in nearly two decades, both teams enter camp unsure of their postseason chances.

The Mets go in as an expected long shot, significantly behind the Nationals and Braves in talent and experience. While the Yankees have retreated to the pack in what should be a wild four-team race in the AL East.

The Mets’ fan is in a very similar predicament to last spring; knowing that their home grown potential is most likely a year away. On paper the NL East is a two-team race between Washington and Atlanta.

The Washington Nationals have improved by trading for outfielder Denard Span, and signing starting pitcher Dan Haren and bullpen ace Rafael Soriano. Meantime, the Braves bring in B.J. Upton via free agency, trade for his brother, Justin Upton, and strengthen one of the best bullpens in the league by trading for Jordan Walden.

The Mets trade of R.A. Dickey was a smart move, as management realized Dickey’s value would never be higher, given his age and the unpredictability of a knuckleballer. The main pieces coming to New York are catcher Travis d’Arnaud and pitcher Noah Syndergaard. D’Arnaud is considered a top-10 prospect by most

scouting services and will hopefully help the Mets sometime in 2013.

While many believe the team is still a year away, what happened in Oakland last year gives Met fans hope. Oakland won 74 games in 2011 and was picked by many to finish at the bottom of the AL West. A late season charge this past season led to 94 wins and an AL West crown behind a majority of names the average fan would not recognize.

Over in the Bronx, there is an unusual amount of anxiety amongst fans as camp opens. Typically, the only question for Yankees’ fans is: Division crown or Wild Card?

That’s far from a done deal with a revamped AL East.

The Orioles made the playoffs last season for the first time since 1997, and the Toronto Blue Jays added R.A. Dickey, Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle. The Tampa Bay Rays lost B.J. Upton to free agency, and traded pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis.

But as he has done in the past, GM Andrew Friedman must know he can fill those holes without missing a beat.

The Yanks are a year older and didn’t make any substantive changes. They re-signed Mariano Rivera (43 years old), Hiroki Kuroda (38), Andy Pettitte (40) and Ichiro Suzuki (39). Their main acquisitions were Kevin Youkilis, (who will fill in at third base while Alex Rodriguez recovers from hip surgery) and lefty

And to keep the A-Rod drama in the Bronx alive, A-Rod is now facing PED questions and accusing the Yankees and MLB of framing him.

Each year in January the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) sponsors a Regional game in Rye in Westchester County. My partner, Larry Hillel, and I play every year in that tournament and have earned most of the gold points there that we needed to become Life Masters. As usual, we encountered a good number of challenging hands and this hand was one of them.

Larry was West and I played the East hand.

One of the nice opportunities we have at these ACBL tournaments is the chance to see an analysis of each of the hands that we played.

The analysis of the hands also lists the makeable contracts that could be made “double dummy” which means as the cards lie. It does not mean that you should have bid that contract but the contract could have been made because one or more important cards lies favorably for declarer.

I played the hand in three hearts, which I found a challenging contract. I believe I went down one.

Yet the expert analysis states that a

S P P

contract of four hearts can be made.

There are two positive factors that should aid in winning three or four tricks. Firstly, the queen of spades sat favorably for me. Secondly, the spades split 3-3, making the fourth spade a potential winner.

Looking at the South hand it is clear there is a big negative factor that makes the hand more difficult.

The trump holding by South is unusual, four trumps including the ace, king and queen. I recall that South led a high trump and then shifted to diamonds. I apparently lost my way by losing control of the trump suit and went down one.

Can you make three hearts? How about four?

Your solutions or other comments can be sent to gaman13927@aol. com. Do you know four or five dedicated people who would like to learn how to play the world’s most challenging card game? Call me at 631-907-2917 or email the above address. We will also be starting lessons at East Hampton High School in early March. You can join us there without a partner.
