TRO, Low Participation TKO Cull

By Kitty Merrill

It’s over . . . at least on the South Fork and at least for this season.

On the heels of a State Supreme Court judge granting a Temporary Restraining Order preventing East Hampton Town and Village from participating in a proposed deer culling program, officials in both municipalities last Friday decided to step away from the program for this year.

East Hampton Village was the sole South Fork municipality that signed up for the program and allocated its contribution. But by Friday afternoon, Mayor Paul Rickenbach announced the village board’s intention to withdraw from the deer management program spearheaded by the USDA and the Long Island Farm Bureau.

Village officials wanted to address the deer management issues “on a regional basis,” but since surrounding municipalities didn’t sign on, “It no longer seems a project the village can tackle on its own,” Rickenbach said. With a suggestion that the cull program isn’t dead forever, the mayor concluded, “The Village remains committed in moving forward in this manner with its local government counterparts.”

Minutes after the village decision was released, East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell circulated a memo on the subject.

The administration of Cantwell’s predecessor, Bill Wilkinson, signed on to the program, but didn’t proffer the financial contribution.

He recapped events to date: an Article 78 legal proceeding had been filed by wildlife advocates challenging the program, additional suits may be in the offing based on correspondence town officials received, the response from private landowners looking to participate in the cull was “minimal,” and, based on case law, a full scale environmental review would be required before the program could move forward.

“For these reasons,” Cantwell wrote, “it appears certain the Town of East Hampton will not be in a position to participate in the Long Island Farm Bureau program this year.”

The town could reconsider next year, the supervisor said,“if participation is open next year and a more complete environmental analysis is completed.” For now, he wants to see the town continue to implement its own deer management

program.

Cantwell believes the town should continue to support hunting as the main method for reducing and managing the deer population.

He listed compiling accurate data regarding the population and its effect on the environment, public safety, property and crops as a key step and called for improved collection of such data.

The supervisor also articulated an array of additional strategies to explore. They include the creation of a deer hotline, posting educational information on the town’s website, seeing if more town properties could be used during hunting season, helping to coordinate private property owners and hunters during hunting season, and helping them get nuisance permits, plus pursuing nuisance permits on town properties.

Finally, Cantwell suggested town officials help facilitate the donation of venison to local food pantries.

With East Hampton Town and Village opting out for this year, Southold Town is the only East End municipality green lighting a cull within its borders. Last week Supervisor Scott Russell told The Independent that while he was not

“enthusiastic” about the cull concept, “We have to get a handle on this.”

The North Fork town voted last month to buck up $25,000 for its share of the cull program. Promoted by the Long Island Farm Bureau, the program originally called for teams of federal sharpshooters who would target does and fawns in an effort to reduce the regional deer population.

Mobile teams would use night vision and sound suppressing equipment to shoot the animals. Bait stations would also be used to lure deer to a specific locale where they could be killed.

I’M IN LOVE When The Beautiful Judy Licht reads this she’s going to kill me. But I can’t help myself. I have to tell the world how I feel.

This is so embarrassing. I'm in love.

One minute I was drinking a cup of coffee and reading the New York Post then the next minute I saw her picture.

I couldn't catch my breath. She is so beautiful.

She's everything I always wanted in a woman.

She has that wonderful determined look.

Those eyes. Those dark smoldering eyes that say, "I'm going to get you" I know that under the Schemata

she wears on her head -- her hair is lustrous and beautiful.

Her name is a name so beautiful it rolls off my tongue and I want to sing it out to the world: Ruzanna Ibragimova.

Of course, as it always is with love, there is a problem.

Ruzanna Ibragimova is a Black Widow. She’s a suicide bomber who’s the widow of an Islamic militant who blew himself up, too, thereby prompting a new twist on the old saying, “The family that prays together stays together.”

In this case it’s “The family that blows it self up together, rarely stays together.”

The barrier between Ruzanna Ibragimova and me are the explo-

sives she’s got taped to her body and the fact that she is looking to blow herself up along with a lot of people at the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia.

I didn't say she was smart, I said she was beautiful.

So my question is do I travel to the Winter Olympics in Russia, a country I detest, and see if I can find Ruzanna Ibragimova and get her to change her hostile wacky ways?

I fantasize searching for her through her hometown of Dagestan -- Dagestan is to suicide bombers what The Bronx is to The Bronx Bombers.

So let’s say I meet her and turn on the old Della Femina charm with woman. And let’s say she succumbs.

So in my fantasy we move to a sexy bombed out area in Dagestan.

We kiss. I reach behind the ton of clothes these people wear to unhook her bra and being the klutz that I am, I set off the bomb. Should I ever survive the blast you could bet my first words would be, "Was it good for you?”

I must admit for me dying would be a lot more appealing than going to the Winter Olympics. I must confess I hate the Winter Olympics.

I always have.

First of all, there are too many foreigners involved with the Winter Olympics. Guys with name like Hans, Fritz and Olaf are beating guys with good old American names like Tom, Bill and Joe. Why? Because these pushy foreigners have us competing against them in the sports they clearly do best. I’m talking about sports where you ski off the top of a mountain and there’s a good chance that when you land, if you're lucky, all you're going to do

is break your fool neck. Show me a sport that depends on guys jumping off mountains on skis into snow and I’ll show you a sport that belongs in a country filled with suicidal depressives like Norway.

It’s disgusting that second-rate countries like Lower Slovenia, where the kids are born with skis on their feet (which, I might add, is the reason why every family in Lower Slovenia has just one child), are able to take gold medals away from the United States, the greatest country in the world.

It was the sporting events that turned me off. First of all, I object to the overt sexuality in the naming of these events. I have always thought that the “Men’s Giant Slalom” is a title better suited for a porno movie than an Olympic event.

As for the event they call the “Men’s Half pipe,” I don’t even want to guess what that competition is all about. And can someone please tell me when sledding became “The Luge?” Also, why does going down a sheet of hard ice, head first, at 70 miles an hour qualify you for a gold medal instead of a psychiatric examination?

To make matters worse we have to deal with the evil Vladimir V. Putin, the President of Russia who is disgusting in his hatred of gays. A hatred, I must add, that will destroy the U.S. Men’s figure skating team’s chances to win a medal.

But I digress. This is not about the Winter Olympics. This is about my love for the lovely Ruzanna Ibragimova.

And let’s say Ruzanna and I make it back to the Hampton’s. The only positive will be that on the single most crowded summer weekend, with Ruzanna wearing her best summer Black Widow outfit, she and I can stroll hand in hand into any packed restaurant – The Palm, Nick and Toni’s, The East Hampton Grill -- and we can be sure they will make plenty of room for us even without our having a reservation.

Patch Cutbacks Will Curtail Its Local News Reporting

By Rick Murphy

Just two weeks after the new majority owner of Patch vowed to keep all remaining employees on staff, the hammer fell.

Wednesday hundreds were let go by Hale Global, including Taylor Vecsey, the popular editor of the East Hampton Patch. Brendan O’Reily, the Southampton editor, left Patch after an initial round of cuts

by AOL Patch in August. He wrote Thursday on his Facebook page that all but four Patch editors on Long Island were fired on January 28 – there were about 24 sites at last count.

Last August Patch announced as many as 500 people would be cut and that AOL, the parent company was looking for strategic partners, but none of the industry experts predicted AOL would dump the company altogether.

Hale Global, a holding company that according to the New York Times specializes in turning around financially troubled entities, purchased a controlling interest from Patch two weeks ago.

Wednesday, in a terse robo-call to employees PATCH CEO Leigh Zarelli Lewis said, according to one blogger, “Hale Global has decided which Patch employees will receive an offer of employment to move forward in accordance with their vision for Patch and which will not.

Unfortunately, your role has been eliminated and you will no longer have a role at Patch and today will be your last day of employment with the company . . . Thank you again and best of luck,” The Times reported.

Patch’s vision of being “hyperlocal” has suffered markedly since the first round of cuts in August.

Coverage of local school and news has given way to canned press releases and amateur bloggers who often have their own agendas.

The local Patch online publications, Westhampton/Hampton Bays Southampton, East Hampton and Riverhead, have taken to sharing stories not only with each other but also from out of the area, and even in some cases, out of the region.

Vecsey acknowledged on Facebook that she would no longer be with Patch moving forward: “And a new chapter begins . . .” she posted on January 29. Several bloggers lamented her loss and called for an advertising boycott on her former website. She declined to be interviewed for this article.

The Patch sale is yet another bitter pill to swallow for AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, who began Patch and

was its biggest supporter, even as AOL struggled to absorb the losses.

Industry sources say AOL lost almost $300 million before finally pulling the plug. Armstrong once promised Patch would deliver “hyper local news reporting by Pulitzer Prize winners.” Instead, Patch hired one editor, usually from a local newspaper, for each site.

In 2011 AOL acquired the Huffington Post and named Arianna Huffington Editor in Chief of all AOL media outlets. She wanted to give the beleaguered Patch editors additional help, but Armstrong – and stockholders — quickly soured on the idea, a stinging rebuke to Huffington.

By August, when the first round of cutbacks were announced, local editors like Vecsey gamely carried on the Patch mission statement, doing yeoman’s work, virtually alone. Soon however, editors began to disappear from the mastheads, and more and more stories were shared by several and sometimes numerous Patch sites.

On one notable recent Sunday, there wasn’t a single bit of East Hamptoncentric news on the local website, only

★

articles from as far away as Centereach and Valley Stream.

After the latest setbacks, some insiders predicted Patch will likely cease to be a local news site and instead, pander to would be advertisers, allowing them to submit pieces in the guise of articles.

Hamptons Online and Plum TV were other media outlets that recently abandoned the vision of offering local East End news.

In order to dip in to CPF money, though, the town must prove the purchase of Neptune’s has historic significance. Typically Community Preservation Funds are used toward open space preservation, but they can also be used for historical preservation projects.

Currently the town is working toward giving the former club and the surrounding property a landmark status, which in turn could possibly provide $500,000 in CPF money to reconstruct the building for the museum, slated to be erected in honor of the all-African American

The town board voted to commit to that amount in mid-December of last year.

Slurpees By Summer? 7-Eleven’s Coming Independent / Kitty Merrill

A building permit has been issued to transform this defunct Amagansett restaurant into a 7-Eleven.

said. It’s well established in New York State, the attorney told the town board in 2011.

The prior year, some residents in Montauk expressed opposition when a 7–Eleven opened on Main Street in the hamlet. They complained the presence of a chain convenience store would have a negative impact on local Mom & Pop establishments. Others felt the store would bring an urban vibe to the area, while still others believe the Montauk market should have been the subject of a full-scale site plan review.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, 7-Eleven boasts over 52,000 outlets internationally. The convenience

store concept originated in 1927, when an employee at the Southland Ice Company began selling milk, bread, and eggs from ice houses.

The stores were first called Tote’m, then took the name 7-Eleven after World War II in reference to their hours of operation, which were rare in those days. During the ‘60s some of the convenience stores began operating on a 24-hour schedule. Notable products crafted by 7-Eleven include the Slurpee and the Big Gulp, oversized beverages that can top 64 ounces. 7-Eleven was the first to offer coffee “to go” on Long Island in the ‘60s. kmerrill@indyeastend.com

The owners may be saying “Oh, thank heaven,” but residents of the hamlet nicknamed “I’m Against It” may not be too thrilled by the idea.

Last week East Hampton Town Chief Building Inspector Tom Preiato issued a building permit enabling the conversion of the old Villa Prince restaurant into a 7-Eleven.

“I looked it over in great detail with the town attorney’s office,” Preiato said of the application filed by the Villa Prince Ristorante Corp.

The conversion doesn’t meet the standard for a full scale site plan review, he explained, because the use is reduced from a 116-seat restaurant to a retail store that would accommodate a maximum of 30 people. There are more than the required number of parking spaces and there would be no increase in septic flow. The parcel, located at the eastern end of downtown Amagansett between the IGA complex and a Shell gas station, is zoned for commercial business.

Retail, said Preiato, “is a permitted use there.”

Contrary to popular belief, the town code carries no prohibition of franchise, or national chain, stores, the building inspector informed.

“The main thing I look at is the code,” he asserted.

Rumors of a 7-Eleven coming to the site date back to 2011. At the time, opponents complained Amagansett was “the last holdout” when it came to hosting national chains. But during a town board work session in February of 2011, then-Town Attorney John Jilnicki echoed Preiato’s obser vation: the town has no power to stop a 7-Eleven or other chains from opening. “You’re actually not allowed to bar somebody from opening just because they happen to be a franchise operation,” Jilnicki

thropist, met with the Southampton Town Board last Thursday morning to discuss the possibility of housing a new multimedia center on the third floor of the village hall on Main Street.

Both Rulli and McFarland proposed installing state of the art editing and production equipment for educating Southampton residents on the creative art of filmmaking and how to distribute it more efficiently.

“This community is in a uniquely strange spot, being near a major community center in the city,” McFarland said. “We want to establish an educational foundation here for citizens running a media center,” he added. “We would like to get

support from you (the town board).”

McFarland said the center aims to be used predominantly by local kids, under the guidance of filmmaking professionals, as a studio workspace with the hopes of focusing on community-based events presented by local organizations.

“Television has become a one-way conversation,” Rulli said. “There’s a need to move into a more interactive medium, and that’s the Internet. This is a small community, and it’s very important to have a presence and promote digital literacy, especially with young people.”

Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said she would like to see “a happy marriage” between the proposed media center and the already running government channel, SEA-TV. “Our SEA-TV pretty much does what you’re talking about,” she said. “It’s important our channel is supported because it airs our government activity as well as educational programming. We need to conceptualize what this needs to look like. I would suggest to you to interact with Mayor [Mark] Epley and the SEA-TV advisory board.”

Councilwoman Christine Scalera agreed, requesting McFarland and Rulli to return with a clearer plan that accommodates the village’s goals as well as their own.

“We want to see that we’ll be able to benefit from this,” she said. “We need a clearer understanding of where SEA-TV is and where you are.”

Bruce Nalepinksi, Executive Director of SEA-TV, said there was an absolute possibility of the two entities combining forces to distribute content accurately and efficiently.

“We have a commitment to SEATV to put our activity out to our constituents,” Councilman Brad Bender said.

Throne-Holst and Rulli both agreed there is the potential for job creation opportunities with the new multimedia center.

“We would like to get support for this,” Rulli said, “because it will be a place where stories are produced, edited and distributed.”

Throne-Holst invited both to the next SEA-TV board meeting for further discussion.

OBITUARY

Barbara J. Lester

Matriarch of Round Swamp Farm Barbara Jean Grace Lester died of pneumonia on Wednesday, January 22, at her home on Three Mile Harbor Road. She was 89 years old.

Barbara was born on July 28, 1924 to Dominick J. Grace and Clara Vaitkus Grace at their home on Cross Highway in East Hampton.

Both of her parents immigrated from Plunge, Lithuania to the United States through Ellis Island.

On September 21, 1938, at age 14, Barbara returned home from school

to find her father, Dominick Grace, dying from injuries sustained when the garage collapsed on him during the 1938 Hurricane. This left her mother, Clara, a widow with six children. In her senior year at East Hampton High School, Barbara had to leave school and go to work to help support her family.

In the early 1940’s while working as a chambermaid at the Murphy Estate, Barbara met her future husband, Albert C. Lester of Round Swamp who was working there as a gardener. Albert, who was very shy, asked Barbara to go on a date; which resulted in them being married. Albert adored Barbara and had always told his children, “Your mother is the most beautiful woman around.”

In October 1948, Albert and Barbara moved into their new home on the Round Swamp Farm property, which now has been recognized by New York State as a National Bicentennial Farm. There they raised their four children: Carolyn Snyder, Albert Continued on Page 17.

of Health Services. Awareness of health disparities is an important part of the education for resident physicians and medical students in Social Medicine. As part of the medical team, these physicians will play a significant role in helping correct some of the disparities that exist based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, nationality or sexual orientation/identity.

By Rick Murphy

RICK’S SPACE The Stark Truth About Bucks

I know some people who are really sick with Lyme disease. I personally have allergic reactions to tick bites. I don’t know how much of that can be blamed on the local deer population.

I do know mice play a part, and that’s why we put out those little traps that snap the spines of those wretched evil rodents, leaving them twitching in a puddle of their own disease-ridden urine.

Slaughtering God’s living creatures is a subjective thing. Karen, for example, wouldn’t hurt anything. She will gently trap a spider under a glass and

place it in the backyard rather than do it any harm. On the other hand, they freak me out.

It all comes to a head when I go to take my morning shower and there is a spider there. I shriek – in a manly way, of course – and run out to Karen, stark naked – I prefer buck-naked myself but Karen says “stark” is more appropriate.

I then whine and plead for her to remove the offending thing from the shower before it kills me. (Grandpa once told me two of the greatest myths ever perpetrated on the Hamp-

REAL ESTATE

tons masses is that there are no poisonous snakes or spiders out here. Oh, and don’t worry about sharks, either.)

Once on our honeymoon in Mexico Karen went into a little mud hut to change into her bathing suit when I saw what appeared to be a tarantula crawl in through the window. It was so freaking big I was afraid he would come out carrying Karen in a glass.

Lately, when we get up in the morning, we see a family of deer in the tall grass right outside our window. A Big Stark – er, Buck – oftentimes is lying on the snow. Mom is standing nearby. Two little ones are brunching on tree leaves. They’ve been there all week. I am absolutely certain they are a family, and that they have found a peaceful place to rest up until the weather breaks – either that or they love the Led Zeppelin albums I blare when I play air guitar.

These creatures – the deer, not the band – are the enemy. At least

IN THE NEWS

according to the USDA, which championed an East End-wide hunt that would have “culled” 3000 animals (and maybe taken out Robert Plant if they got a clean shot).

The fact that our local municipalities actually were ready to sign on for the kills astounds me.

The game plan was something out of an R-rated video game. Trained snipers would descend on our town and villages, some in the dead of night. They would net deer, when possible, and “dispatch” them with a bullet behind the ear. Others would be shot from longer range – in the head. This “humane” effort – yes, they really used that word – would be a win/win for everyone, because the deer meat would go to food pantries to feed those in need.

Look: I have lived here all my life, and I have several good friends that hunt and yes, they do in fact feast on game and venison and there is nothing wrong with that. But I can guarantee you most of the people who talk about eating everything they kill are completely full of crap.

Can any of us really imagine 3000 dead deer corpses? Who is going to dress these carcasses? It takes all day to butcher one properly. And what, then, becomes of the meat, which must be inspected, approved, and distributed? And how will our food pantries, many housed in the basements of churches without much more than a kitchen refrigerator, be able to safely store this huge volume of meat?

Worse, how are we going to know the percent of saturated fat and the sodium content? Will there be a little recipe stuck on the plastic wrapper?

Does it have “trans fat?” Will there be “Family packs?” Can we make venison sliders with it?

This is a slaughter, an abomination. It is sick. Now the DEC wants to eradicate the entire Mute Swan population on the East End. Hell, why don’t they go after the noisy ones?

Things are pretty strange when a governmental agency known for its bureaucratic ineptitude is allowed to declare genocide on a species without needing the approval of the people who live here. It started with mosquitoes, where will it end, Norwegians?

The old Denis Leary joke is apropos here. We worry about baby seals because they are “cute” and they became a cause celebre. But few of us care what happens to a cow that is tortured for its entire short life before being butchered, because we think of them as shoes and baseball gloves, not living creatures.

Hey look, mice are hideous creatures – they move the cheese. Ticks?

Spiders? I’ll deal with them on my own terms. I don’t need Big Brother deciding what lives and what dies around here, thank you.

Independent VOICES

First Light vs. Sea Tow Dear Editor, Regarding The Independent article

by Kitty Merrill and the editorial dated 1/15/14 pertaining to Ed Michels’ position as Director of Public Safety.

Everything the article and editorial stated is true. I can’t believe this is happening. I am not a friend of Michels because my dealings with him and the things I’ve heard and seen pertaining to him.

Let’s bring to light the barge purchased during the Mansir/Michels regime for replacement of Pylons at town docks.

The barge and equipment cost the Town of East Hampton over $300,000. This can be substantiated by a review of town

Could it be that our most elusive dream will someday become a reality— that rates might actually decrease to the levels of the rest of the nation?

Oh, if it could only be true.

documents. During this time of Michels’ dynasty, I believe he was trying to justify the existence of over 30 personnel on the marine patrol force, by repair and construction of the Harbor. This barge was tied up at Gann Road for four years and I have never seen it used.

Now let’s address the safety issue under Michels supervision, without getting into how he earned the nickname of “First Light Michels.” May 1, 2013 I went fishing alone off Gardiners Island when my engine failed. I called my wife on our cellphone and asked her to find help. She intercepted East Hampton Police at Gann Road (Tabers Dock) and asked for help. They had seen a Marine Patrol boat leave the harbor on its way to Montauk.

The Police made contact with the Marine Boat and they assured my wife everything would be fine. I received a call on my VHF radio from E.H. Marine Patrol saying they did not do boat rescue and I should call Sea Tow. The US Coast Guard had been monitoring the channel and showed

up to assist me.

They asked if I was hurt. I did hurt my left knee while trying to repair the engine. I was towed by the Coast Guard to Three Mile Harbor where an ambulance was waiting to take me to Southampton Hospital.

During the period of towing a safety check was performed on my vessel by the Coast Guard. They found outdated flares and no boat registration on board.

A citation was written for flares and registration and I was given a copy of the Coast Guard-generated paperwork. I never saw a Marine Patrol person on the dock.

Yet, I received a summons three days later to appear in East Hampton Court in front of a judge for the same citation issued by the Coast Guard.

Someone please explain the double banging to appear in front of a judge.

Again, this is a case of the Marine Patrol justifying their existence. Verifications of this episode should be in the Marine Patrol Log, dated May 1, 2013 (if they keep one).

I hope Mr. Cantwell reads the article and

explains to me “Excellent Organizational Skills and experience in leadership” that he sees in Ed Michels.

BOB RIZZARDI

Non-Lethal Approaches To the Editor, Thank you for your excellent January 22 editorial asking communities to step back from deer culls. You very reasonably recommend non-lethal approaches. And you correctly point out that the primary cause of local environmental damage hasn’t been the deer, but the rising human population and the real-estate development that has accompanied it.

residents. Both the DEC and the USDA’s rogue branch Wildlife Services (a misnomer if ever there was one!) use spurious arguments to fool the public. “Culls” never work to decrease populations; deer births always increase after mass murders. So the killing has to go on ad infinitum. Overpopulation is caused by DEC in the first place, as they manipulate herd size for the benefit of hunters, then blame the deer for being too plentiful and recommend mass executions like this one.

“Sharpshooters” is an anodyne term that does not hold water. Everyone misses sometimes, and the deer can suffer wounded for days.

Eating vegetation is not an excuse to kill. Humans destroy vegetation all the time- shall we be culled? The deer eat to live, that’s all. When there is insufficient food, they will have less births.

Wildlife Services are under investigation by the Inspector General for animal cruelty and other crimes. They should be outlawed, not paid to murder more deer.

fireplace after reading about the mute swan in the newspaper. Can it really be 35 years ago, I asked myself. Indeed it had, and I find it hard to believe we have changed that much.

After placing the paper back on the coffee table, I found myself anchored in reverie. It was a late summer evening, September 18th, to be exact, and I was methodically casting for bass on Mill Pond in Water Mill. The water was almost slick calm and the air was still and moist. There was little trace that fall was just a few scant days away.

The rhythm of my casting was broken by a noise, a disturbance really, off in the distance. At first I couldn’t comprehend what I was witness to. Luckily, on board my little aluminum boat I carried a pair of binoculars, and I quickly focused on what looked like a huge hole in the water’s surface. Suddenly, like a mini-submarine from within the swirling vortex, a full-grown swan breached.

How can a swan suddenly appear from under the water, I wondered. Loons and cormorants do that, not swans. A split second later, I saw it. A huge tire-sized snapping turtle was inextricably clinging Continued on Page 15.

to one of the swan’s rubbery feet.

From afar, I watched in disbelief as this swan was dragged below the surface. Its body and long neck were now subsurface, just its head remained aloft.

While still processing this life and death tug-of-war, miraculously the swan managed to resurface in a torrent of spray.

It feverishly flapped its huge wings, but there was no lift. Despite all its efforts it managed to move its captor a few measly yards. I had seen enough.

I pointed my foot-controlled, bowmounted electric motor directly toward the ongoing commotion. The motor, designed for quiet and not speed was already on high, but I couldn’t get there fast enough.

I needed more speed. Maniacally, I paddled toward the fracas. Finally, I was half way there. I could hear the rushing of water and raucous hissing.

Exhilaration suddenly gave way to a melancholy sickness. I was too late. Or so I thought. With no sign of either turtle or swan, I raced toward the bubbling water.

They were just below me. Amazingly, the swan surfaced within inches of my starboard bow, the turtle still in tow. I couldn’t believe it. Its hard carapace raked the bottom of my boat. Eyes closed, it continued to relentlessly yank downward.

Seizing the opportunity, I stood and struck the turtle in the neck with my paddle.

I must have startled it because it opened its mouth just wide enough. Steering with a mangled foot, the swan swam off.

A loud crackle from the fire snapped me back to the present. It’s funny, I can’t remember if I caught anything that evening, but I remember the exuberance I felt while motoring back to the launch ramp. Convinced I was right to intercede on the swan’s behalf, there was a certain sense of accomplishment, and I couldn’t wait to share the story with my wife.

So what’s changed? We used to prosecute those who harmed these elegant,

white birds. And dare I say it, most of us still welcome their great gliding presence and embrace their company.

They haven’t changed. Why suddenly are these serene creatures considered interlopers, scourges that must be slaughtered? Have mute swans really become so aggressive that we can’t find a way to coexist with them? I hope not.

Yet I wonder if they are wiped out, what will be next?

STEPHEN LERNER

Reward Law Breakers Dear Editor, Ten thousand baby boomers are retiring each day, while 92 million Americans who want jobs cannot find full time employment. Women’s employment numbers have dropped. Blacks, especially the youth, are unemployed in record numbers.

The poverty level has gone up, with 20 percent of Americans on food stamps and disability payments. When records show that the actual unemployment rate was 13.1 percent in December, you find the unemployed discouraged, forced into poverty and taxpayer funded benefits.

We haven’t faced these kinds of numbers for a very long time. So, exactly why are politicians talking about amnesty?

Allowing 11 million illegal, undocumented aliens to become eligible for jobs and taxpayer-funded benefits is absurd. We cannot allow the president, who has doubled our debt in his five years, to bypass Congress. It is short sighted and dangerous. We cannot survive with the national debt at $17-plus trillion and climbing, and expect our society to last.

There are 80 different welfare programs we fund, but only 53 percent of Americans pay taxes to fund them. If we open the doors for ever-increasing numbers of illegals we are facing higher taxes and more debt. We must not drain taxpayer funds to reward lawbreakers who continue to flood over our porous borders.

It is bad enough that one third of all

www.indyeastend.com

felons in our prisons are repeat offender illegals. We keep them in prison at great expense rather than deport them. It also makes us more vulnerable to terrorists, who also come across the borders. Illegal, undocumented aliens are also breaking our hospital, school and judicial systems in the process. There should indeed be programs in place for those who want to come here to work.

But this can only happen after we achieve border security, and the president has already shown that he has no intention of enforcing the tight border controls called for in the amnesty proposals.

We are tired of the liars and thieves in Washington DC. It is legal plunder when our legislators tax us so heavily to support those who are in our country illegally and those who do not work, using this law as a weapon against the hands that feed them. It takes from one and gives to another. This proposed amnesty must not happen. Congress should be focused on the debt, on replacing Obamacare, and on halting Obama’s dictator-like use of Executive Orders, not on another destructive amnesty fiasco.

A curator, Sisti played a key role in refurbishing the hall and promoting it as a favored venue for art shows. His mother Marie, and brother James and sister-in-law Geraldine were on hand for the ceremony, as was his wife Coleen Curtin.

Barbara loved her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. “Grammy Lester,” as she was fondly called, took care of several generations of the Lester family for many years.

Besides her children, Barbara leaves behind nine grandchildren: Lisa Niggles, Shelly Schaffer, Scott, Jonathan and Erin Lester, Christine Hawkins, Jeanne Maya, Katie and

Tricia Olszewski; and nine greatgrandchildren: Steven, Brian, Tom and Jimmy Niggles, Kyle, Nolan, Nicholas and Alexa Schaffer and Joseph Hawkins. All of her siblings, Beatrice Deleski, Clara Talmage, Dominick V. Grace, Stella Reney and Eva Gretty predeceased her.

A funeral service was held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church on Saturday, January 25, with the Rev. Denis C. Brunelle officiating. Carolyn Snyder gave the eulogy and readings were done by Jonathan Lester and Brian Niggles. Steven, Brian and Charlie Niggles, Al Shaffer, Scott and Jonathan Lester and Joseph Hawkins served as Pall Bearers. Albert J. Catozzi, Christine Hawkins, Jimmy Niggles and Ernest Leatherwood were Ushers. Interment followed at the family cemetery at Round Swamp on Three Mile Harbor Road.

The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the: St. Luke’s Parish Hall Fund 18 James Lane East Hampton, NY 11937

Shoreline Sweep

Bust out your Long Johns and parkas and get ready for Shoreline Sweep 2014, ImaginationNature.com’s first annual beach cleanup.

Starting at 9 AM on Saturday, folks will meet at predetermined locations along the beaches from Wainscott to Montauk to clean the shorelines.

Bags and gloves will be distributed and volunteers will sort recyclables from trash. The East Hampton Town Trustees will assist with the pick up of the collected trash.

The Sweep was conceived by nature photographer Dell Cullum, who’s been advocating for clean beaches through his Imagination Nature website and Facebook posts. He’s joined with the Town of East Hampton Litter Committee to host the event.

To participate as a group leader, group or individual or even a supplier of hot beverages, contact Cullum at kachina35@gmail.com or Litter Committee Chair Deb Klughers at keepinitgreen@optonline.net.

Boy Scout Troop 58 from Southampton were “Scouting For Food” at King Kullen in Bridgehampton and Waldbaums in Southampton on Saturday. (From left) Scouts Domenic Zito, Chris Zito, and Matthew Hostetter manned the donations at King Kullen. The food will be distributed to local food pantries.

Deer

Continued from page 4. the regional cull was a go, advocates and groups such as the East End Group for Wildlife mobilized. A petition that boasted over 10,000 signatures was circulated and a rally last month in East Hampton Village drew hundreds of participants.

Lawsuits were filed and threatened, and last Thursday, just before news that East Hampton Town and Village were pulling out, a Temporary

Restraining Order was issued.

Social media provided a platform for the anti-cull crowd. Following Friday’s news, a post on the East Hampton Group for Wildlife Facebook page stated simply, “goodness has prevailed at this time and this place.”

In a release issued Monday group founder Bill Crain called the decision to halt the cull in East Hampton “a significant victory for the humane treatment of wildlife.” kmerrill@indyeastend.com

It’s that time of year again.

East Hampton Middle School This year’s “Janu-Hairy” – where teachers offer a donation to a charity and promise not to shave for the first month of the year – has concluded, with some admirable bushiness among some, and some sad and pathetic soul patches among others. The hirsute brainchild of special education teacher Claude “Sasquatch” Beudert and science teacher Jonathan “Cousin It” Mauschtke, this year saw some dozen participants letting it hang down to there.

Riverhead High School Principal Charles Regan with four members of the Blue Masques Drama Club, General Manager of Riverhead Ford-Lincoln Tom Williams, Directors Dena Tishim and Jessica Guadagnino, and Assistant Principal Sean O’Hara. The car dealership donated $20 to the club for every test drive and last week presented a check for $3,620 to the school!

It’s Do Or Die Time For Local Teams

By Rick Murphy

You have to be in it to win it.

The goal of every sports team is to compete for a championship, and to do that you must first qualify for the playoffs. Courageously, a lot of our local teams refuse to die.

Take East Hampton. The Bonackers seemed dead in the water only a week ago, but Billy McKee’s team is turning it on with the season on the line.

Friday Bonac looked every bit a playoff team, dismantling Mount Sinai 63-44 before the Bleacher Creatures. The McKee brothers, Dan (12) and Kyle combined for 23

points, Kevin Fee added 11, and rebounding machine Tom Nelson snared 17 boards to go with his 11 points. Saturday Bonac proved its mettle by winning again, 59-57 at Eastport, though the game was a non-league matchup and doesn’t count in League VI standings.

Dan McKee notched 21 in that one and Kyle added 18. Dan’s short jumper won it in overtime for the locals. The Bonackers were to play at Miller Place yesterday in a mustwin game; tomorrow the team plays at home against Bayport at 6 PM -- two wins punch the clock into the Suffolk Class A playoffs.

Westhampton Beach looked like its team was on the outside looking in as well. But a lot changes in the topsy turvey world of Suffolk County boy’s basketball. Westhampton beat Harborfields on January 28, 54-37. It was the fourth win in a row for the locals, who improved to 6-4 in league play. Guess what? Pencil Westhampton into The Show.

Ditto Southampton, 7-6 in League VII. The Mariners took out Port Jefferson on the losers’ court Friday. Shaundell Fishburne scored 23 and record a triple-double. Nasies Fulford and Taylor Sanders had 10 points each.

It’s down to the wire in League VIII. Pierson, 10-2, is in, bracing for a Class C tournament and a possible title game against Stony Brook (11-1). Shelter Island (7-6), Bridgehampton (6-6), Southold (76), and Greenport (6-6) are Class D teams, and one will go to the New York State Tournament.

Here’s how it shakes out: The Bees were to have played Shelter

Island on the Island yesterday, get Greenport in the Hive tomorrow and play Knox Friday. Two wins and Bridgehampton is in. Shelter Island goes to Smithtown Christian tomorrow – the Islanders need to either beat Bridgehampton or win Thursday’s encounter.

Southold likely needed to beat Smithtown Christian yesterday to remain alive. Greenport probably needs to beat Bridgehampton in the Beehive tomorrow and best Smithtown Christian at home Friday.

The class of the East End girls’ teams is Hampton Bays. The Lady Baymen are 8-1 and cruising to the League VII title. Mattituck, currently 5-3, should secure a berth as well.

Ditto Pierson/Bridgehampton, 8-1 in League VIII and awaiting the Suffolk County Class C tournament. Mercy (5-3) has a leg up on a bid and Southold/Greenport is still alive with a 4-4 league record.

Hamptons Bays

Historical Society Event The Hampton Bays Historical Society’s recent reception, “Why The Canoe Place Inn Matters,” was a huge success by all accounts.

“It was fascinating to have so much Canoe Place Inn history on display in one setting,” observed Southampton Councilperson Bridget Fleming. “Like everyone else, I’ve seen the old photographs and post cards over the years, but it was wonderful to have members of the Hampton Bays Historical Society on hand to answer questions and put everything in context. The information at the reception confirmed the importance of the Canoe Place Inn to the history of Hampton Bays.”

Hampton Bays Historical Society President Brenda Sinclair Berntson added, “We were thrilled by the turn out, especially since the Canoe Place

Inn is at the center of the Society’s efforts to chronicle and preserve our past. It’s very gratifying to see all the renewed interest in this iconic structure and the role it has played in the lives of generations of residents and their families.”

According to historian Elise Lathrop, the Canoe Place Inn is reported to be the oldest inn site in America. For more information, visit the Hampton Bays Historical Society at www. hamptonbayshistoricalsociety.org.
